Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Evan Adler has taken a step back from his career in Hockey to become an RA and athletic trainer for the women’s gymnastic team at the University of Bellevue. He doesn’t plan on Callie Pearce, a Bellevue gymnast, she has a way of getting under Evan’s skin. He can be candid with Callie, his worries about his mental health and future goals. Callie has a way of listening that brings a calmness to him. The only problem is Callie has someone in her life that is adamant that they not be together, can he convince everyone that she is his whole world and he will not anything to ruin that?

I really appreciated that Evan didn’t give into pressure and put his mental health first, even though it scared him. I thought the emotional connections you feel while reading this one was wonderfully written. I really enjoyed this story and thought Callie was a bit quirky which brought a smile to my face.

I'm Not Your Difference (Fitz, #4)I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 4 in Fitz series. I think if you read them from the beginning it will give you a better understanding of the characters and their stories. I haven’t read them in order. It didn’t take anything away from my enjoyment of the story though but I will be going back and reading from the beginning.

This book has it all and deal with some very sensitive subjects, the main one being sexuality and how some people are targeted because of that.The author does this in a way that is respectful and informative which really brings the story to life.
It is full of emotions from happiness and sadness, love and betrayal, danger but underneath it all is family love.
Andy has really got a struggle on his hands. His partner recently left after he couldn’t cope with Andy’s diagnoses of Parkinsons. Leaving Andy to cope on his own with his illness but also their adopted deaf daughter.
Heartbroken Andy pushes forwards always trying to do what’s right for them both.
Just when Andy feels he’s back on track Stephen returns and wants to give it another go. Can he be trusted after last time? Should Andy let him back in or will he end up being hurt all over again.
Add to this drama the fact that there is a serial killer on the loose that is targeting gay men and Andy is in more danger than just getting his heart broken.
Fitz is Andy’s brother in law and he’s a detective. When he is handed the case of numerous men who have passed supposedly at their own hands he realises something isn’t right and its a race against to to stop the killer and potentially save Andy from becoming a victim.

Nick’s sense of humor and devilish good looks are too hard to resist. He makes her feel protected, cherished, desired. But she’s afraid to get too close. Her life and her career are in Virginia with the Army.

 After her father’s accident, Corrie Lancaster moves back to the family farm just in time to help with the harvest. With a bumper crop of wheat waiting, the farm’s only hired hand quits, leaving Corrie with no choice but to accept the help of her old boyfriend’s older brother, Aaron Tuttle. It seems like the perfect plan until Corrie realizes ex-flame Luke isn’t over her. But even with Luke’s apologies and attempts to rekindle their romance, Corrie can’t forget his past betrayal.

Between harvesting, keeping tabs on her younger siblings, and watching her parents’ marriage crumble, Corrie leans on Aaron for emotional support. Wading through jealousy was never on Corrie’s to-do list, but as she navigates the choppy waters, she finds herself falling for Aaron’s good looks and charming wit.

Just when Corrie thinks she has everything under control, a stranger seeking shelter comes to the farm, and an old nemesis returns for revenge. As destructive forces align against her, Corrie must decide which man’s love will bring her back to life and restore her faith in herself, her family, and her purpose.

Frenemies to lovers
The third book in the Meraki series and still going strong. This is Krystina’s story, the younger sister of Mia and Kally from previous books. The family drama, banter and connections are all present in this instalment. Absolutely love the way the author creates the charged atmosphere of the family dynamics. Loukas brings the emotions – his story really tugged at my heart. This can be read as a stand-alone but there are threads that run through from the previous books that will help to create the full picture. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this wholesome mystery. Levi, a tough former Navy SEAL, has agreed to help protect and hide Bella who is needed to testify against her ex-boyfriend. Little do each other know, they are exactly what each of them needed. There really wasn’t a dull moment in the book but the beginning had a slower start but boy was it hard to put down. The character development between the key characters was great and I found I was falling in love with the family. At times, I was holding my breath with anticipation at what was to come next. I can’t wait for the next installment.

This story had me on the edge of my feet the entire time. So many twists and turns. I wish the story was a bit longer but I feel satisfied wish the ending. This story moves fast. There were so many red flags with Donald. From the first letter he sent her. I kept finding myself screaming at Isabella to not do certain things nor go with certain people. Tom is amazing. So glad he was around when she needed someone the most . I’m also happy that Isabella was able to move from the traumatic events and have exactly what she’s always dreamed of. I highly recommend giving this a try.

This series is one of my recent favorites! I read the last 3 books in the series first and told myself I need to read the first 3 books so I can learn more about the other brothers.

Each book is about one of the many bastard sons of Jamieson Finch, a ruthless evil father, who left his sons and their mothers to fend for themselves. Along the way, each son finds their true love and the couples become a close knit family as the brothers work together to bring their father down and prove how a family can work together for the greater good.

Book 1: Lost Bastard is about Aleksei and Deva
Book 2: Cold Bastard is about Archer and Zoe
Book 3: Wild Bastard is about Kai and Isabel
Book 4: True Bastard is about Liam and Catriona

This romance story was a breath of fresh air! This book is a great clean romance and has three different love stories that you get to follow. I enjoyed all 3 of them for different reasons. I love the sweetness in this book and the characters hearts. I would have to say Leona is my favorite character in the story. Her sweet nature to want to give everyone a happy ever after even though she doesn’t have her own makes you love her even more. All the love stories will keep you wanting more!

I am generally very picky about authors, their writing, and genre of books I read. I have my favorite authors and it’s rare that I steer away from what I know I like. I was questioning if this was a book I would enjoy!

I should’ve given Truth or Kill the benefit of the doubt. It was a great book, with twists I wasn’t expecting. The characters are wonderful. From their names, personalities, how they mesh together, and then how the plot develops.

The book has the feel of a “game board” and keeps the writer guessing what is going on.

Can’t wait to check out the other books by this author!

This is the second book in the Nurse Morgan series by Kate Macinnis. This book is a spooky romance. It has all the makings of a great book. It has ghosts, drama, mystery, and lots of laughs. The characters are fully developed and complex to the core. There were moments of emotions that went on a roller coaster ride. There were high moments as well as low moments. The story moves quickly. It does not stand still for one moment. Morgan is an RN who works in the Emergency Department. She can see ghosts who get her in trouble a wee bit. She is dating a handsome MD and that is about to get spicy, She is off on another mystery. I highly recommend this book. Nurse Morgan is an amazing character and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.

OMG! This author has done it again! I am loving this series! This one had me laugh, love and cry throughout the telling. The characters filled me with shocking and roll on the floor laughing moments. I really could not get enough of them! Normally I enjoy the well written male but Seth got overshadowed by Victoria! She impressed me with her tenacity, strength and wit over and Over again. Both of these characters do have charm and were just as smart as they adorable! I really enjoyed them both.

Secondary characters are wonderfully built and add some levity to the story. I enjoyed meeting them all and was always wondering about that Pip.

Overall its a great addition to the series. There is one brother left and I am looking forward to his story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is set in 1890. It begins in Lawrence, Massachusetts with Isabella Britta Stolt. Her parents died while they were all immigrating to the United States. Isabella took a job at a factory to support herself. In a time where young women did not live alone, she was left bereft when the factory burned down. She felt she had no choice but to become a mail order bride. She felt like she had a connection with Donald Jenks, and he came across in his letters as a sweet, loving man. Once she moved to Ohio to be with him, she discovered he was quite the opposite. He was cruel to her and had begun to get physical. She met Tom Allenby on her train ride to Ohio when he saved her from being abducted. Could Tom become her saving grace once again? I enjoyed this sweet story. It was short, easy to read, and quite enjoyable!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The love story developed here is endearing, and the witty banter adds to the appeal. There are many concepts at which the story hits on, “I can fix him”, strong female heroine, and “tough guy with lots of layers” pretty much sums it up. It’s a good drive for the book and overall plot, but instances of the heroine rushing in to save the day and being amazing adds a stretch that seems both unrealistic in terms of the characters backstory but as an overall unrealistic feel.

Overall a good, quick read that tugs in the heart strings and leads the reader feeling satisfied with the happy ending.

I absolutely loved this story! Whilst I love romance stories with the steamy scenes sometimes it is nice to read a clean romance story and this was 100% that! I loved getting to know the characters Levi and Bella (also known as Beccy) they certainly had a love hate relationship and I just loved them together! The story may have been a little predictable but I didn’t care because I was completely swept up in the blossoming romance between the two main characters (even if they didn’t want to admit it). I knew that Levi was going to be a big softy underneath that hardened exterior and I knew Bella would be the one to break down those barriers! I also loved all of the secondary characters and I’m very excited for each other brothers to get their own stories and Little Allie was just the sweetest! She’s definitely lucky with those big brothers to look out for her!
A wonderful read and one that I would highly recommend – I can’t wait for the next book! This was also a wonderful introduction to a new author!
