My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the second book of the Rebecca Steele Series. Although it can be read as a standalone I recommend reading book one first. This is my first book from this author. I enjoyed the story but wish I would have read book one first, so I would have the whole back story. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen for Becky in book 3.

This is book three of the Rebecca Steele Series. It can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first two books in the series first. This is the best book in the series. I think the author did a beautiful job on this book. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. It’s a wonderful conclusion to this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay.

When I started this book, I was like “Alright, I read the first one, I know what this author can do, so let’s bring on the drama.”

First half goes by and I’m seeing the beginnings of a marriage (which is ironic considering that I also just got married), and the start of these two characters lives together. And at first, it seems a little slow, a little too white-picket-fence, too perfect-

And then tragedy strikes. And again, and again. And then healing.

Do not, I repeat, do not read this book if you’re listening to mildly sad music, because y’all, it WILL make you cry. Actually, this book will make you cry regardless. I don’t think I’ve ever related to a character so much. The struggles Elsa is faced with in this story are struggles I’m terrified I’m going to have, or struggles I already have had. And watching Anton just love her through it all, this author does such an amazing job with her books. I can’t wait to see where the next one leads. Wait out the beginning guys, the end is worth it. I can’t wait for a physical release, this book deserves a spot on my bookshelf (As does the first).

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good book! I’m going to be honest, the first few chapters made me iffy. I was convinced it was going to be a drag and that I wouldn’t understand the timeline at all. However, at about the 35% mark, things evened out and this took me on an emotional ride I didn’t quite expect. There is a trigger warning for miscarriage and drug abuse for this book. While I anticipated that I just didn’t anticipate exactly how much the main female character, Elsa, would break. It put several different things in perspective for me during the course of reading this novel. I cried while reading and it definitely lifted me up at the end. This is by far an 18+ novel, there were several spicy and steamy scenes not suitable for younger readers.

This was a really good book. I thought that the story was beautifully written despite the heartbreaking things that happened. I felt myself going back and forth between being on team Elsa and on team Anton in certain parts. The deep battles that were fought really made this story deep. It was very relatable and engaging.

This author has a way of inspiring people through her live stories.
The way that Becky and Johnny have gone on this journey of love and adventure the ups and downs I feel like the ultimate third wheel.
I love that this story didn’t feel like the third of a series and that I was reading a new story.
The trials of success and motherhood really hit home.
I would read this book again and again.
Loved this book and the book before.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Face the Fire is the 5th book in this series. I have only read one other book in the series but I didn’t have trouble following the characters from the previous book that I read. However, I’m sure the story would be better if you read the series in order.
However, I really enjoyed reading about Miles and Bella and their family. From the beginning of this book, you jump right into a situation that Miles as a music producer and with his paranormal abilities skirts a bit around the right thing to do. Seeing how Miles and Bella’s strong relationship working together kept my interest. There were many nights I had a hard time putting the book down to get some rest.

Wow!
It is a very easy light romance that had a few quick twists that fit the story well.
This was the first book I read from this author and I will be looking out for more.
The author made this story very inspiring and realistic.
Becky and Johnny are the journey of this story.
I was surprised that I liked this book because the setting was different from what I usually enjoy.
This is the type of book you read to feel good, refreshing is the best word to describe it.
I am looking forward to book three.
This story made me cry in a few spots it had me day dreaming in between truly living through the pages.
Love and country music officially go together.
So romantic.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anton is a famous actor and star of many films.Elsa is a realtor and can not believe she is married to him. They have the perfect marriage and everything they have ever wanted. When tragedy strikes the couple, they are faced with unexpected challenges and decisions that could change their world completely.

This book took my emotions on a journey. There is a warning at the beginning of a book about possible triggers, and I was thankful it was there. This story brought up real challenges that many couples face, and the agony that can be caused. Each character had to face the issue head on and process their feelings in their own way. The journey is raw and emotional, and pulls every heartstring. This is not your typical love story, it is a story of challenging strengths and pushing through for love. I cried, I laughed, I enjoyed the steamy moments, and I could not put it down until the last page. The author is phenomenal and I can not wait to read the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caspian Archer is a playboy with plenty of money to make all his wants come true. He loves his promiscuous lifestyle and has no plans of changing that.. Until his uncle’s dying wish: fall in love and get married for a year or lose everything.

Paisley Fischer is just trying to make ends meet. Her mom is in the hospital in a coma and medical bills are piling up. She gets evicted from her home and feels completely lost. When she runs into a face from the past, she is offered the chance of a lifetime: marry him, move into his penthouse and all her worries will go away.

This was such a fun (and steamy) read. The characters are built well with emotional and complex backgrounds that give the perfect picture of who they are. Even though their marriage was a business agreement and they are opposites in so many ways, their undeniable chemistry keeps pulling them together. They both secretly find themselves wondering if they will really part ways when the year ends. I am hooked and can not wait to see what comes next in this series!

This is the third and final book in the Rebecca Steele series. I read the second book, though not the first (it is being put on my TBR, knowing how it ends, I really desire to see how it started)
Rebecca married the love of her life and has a stepdaughter. The compassion Rebecca shows not only to her stepdaughter, but also to her stepdaughter’s friend, really made me connect with “Becky”. She is still performing her music and starting tours while also working hard to make her concert in the park series a huge success. This woman has spunk and is a go getter, what I LOVE to see in a female lead character.

This is the second book in the Rebecca Steele Series, but only the first one I have read. I fell in love with so many of the characters. “Becky” and Emily have been friends since they were children, and it shows in the way they interact with each other. Becky is moving forward with her music career while living on a horse ranch. Is it her dream life? Can she find love or with outside forces tear her apart from the man she has come to love?
This book was filled with relationship turmoil and triumphs. This was an enjoyable easy read and really felt like I was transformed to their world. Thank you to the author!!

This story was so powerful that it makes you feel every emotion you can possibly imagine. This contemporary romance is told from multiple pov’s which adds to its depth. The plot is flawless, the characters are wonderful, and the word building is perfect.This book really took me through an emotional roller coaster making me feel anger, sadness, disappointment, hope, and of course happy. Anton is a heart throb who can have anything that he wants but really he just wants love and a family. Elsa is a workaholic just like Anton but she wants to give him the family he wants. But when grief hits them will true love really conqur it all? Can Anton pull Elsa out of her depression, or will she Spiral even further? You’ll have to read this wonderful story to find out for yourself.

So we’ve traveled back over four hundred and fifty years ago, and so much drama has happened since they arrived. Poor Maggie has so much going on. She’s got a betrothed maniac, an Englishman who has her heart, and two families who are against it. What are we to do? The more you read into this book, the more you grip it till you finish reading. Such a great series! Continue on!

It’s been a moment since I’ve read a historical book with a twist. Maggie is definitely a great character for this series. She’s finishing a semester in college, and ends up going back to her dad’s historical time. How crazy is that?! She meets a man she’s seen in a book her dad told stories of over and over and all the adventures begin. It was intriguing and picked up the next book! 🙂

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fans of Outlander will love this trip back in time! A story of adventure, romance, and time travel; many aspects of Outlander are found in the book, but the writer has definitely made it her story. Many young readers will relate to Maggie Armstrong, who has been transported back in time after finding out a decade’s old secret that her father Robert and his best friend Edward kept hidden. Watching her navigate the major culture shock, there were moments that I definitely empathized with her character and the struggles that she was facing while trying to come to terms that everything she thought she understood about her life and the world around her not always true.

The book is not for someone who gives up on reading easily, as there are definitely times that I had to force myself to read, not due to lack of interest though. Many times throughout the book the details become tedious, but that is also a nod to the writer, as there were many times throughout the novel that it was evident there must have been hours of research poured into writing the book. Despite both of these things, it was easy for me to finish the book in a few days and I am very much excited to read the next book in the series!

Y’all- this is my first series by the author and OOMPH. I REALLY love Miles and Bella. (Also their names are cute!) I’m a really big fan of the paranormal, I also love a good mafia series, and this was just a delicious combination of the two- you add romance and the MUSIC industry and I am HOOKED. The dynamics of the characters, their relationships, and their deep (i can’t think of the right word…. Like really defined? Y’all know what I mean!) personalities and feelings really made this read enjoyable. I’m EAGER for more work by this author! Check this one out y’all 💖

Y’all probably don’t know but a badass heroine is my absolute favorite character in a book- and Lydia is BADASS AF. She will do anything- even face a jungle (which is scary to me lol)- for her man. I love Lydia.

I was surprised by all the twists and turns the author threw out for the characters and that made it to where it was impossible for me to put it down. I HAD to know what was coming next. I’m excited to discover more work by this author! (: Y’all should read this one!

Living the Dream is a cute western for country and romance lovers. Becky has come through a lot of turmoil and upheaval in the preceding books, and now finally has her man, her career, and a spunky little stepdaughter to keep her happy. Obviously that isn’t the end of the action, though! There is a lot of suspense in the plot to keep readers interested, plus old and new characters that fans of the series will like.
I was a bit put off by the style of writing; it felt like someone recounting a story that had already taken place, rather than something that was currently happening. That remove from the action caused it to feel slow in parts for me. However it is in a similar vein to the other books, so if you liked the others, you will likely enjoy this one as well.

Slick Running (Satan’s Devils MC #3) AUDIO BOOK by Manda Mellett – Review by Cindy Mayberry

This is Slick and Ella’s story. Ella is a strong independent woman. When her little sister gets into trouble, Ella goes where she knows she can get help. But Ella broke Slick’s heart, and he wants nothing to do with her. Slick needs to listen to Drummer as well as Ella. He also needs to open communication between him and Ella. Find out what really happened to Ella. Can Slick  and Ella work through their issues? Will Slick open his heart back up? Will Ella learn to trust the one thing she hates? Once again this author has rocked this MC Club. I knew before I opened this book, I would be here for the long haul. The rollercoaster is non stop, emotionally dramatic. This author has left me wondering and waiting for the next book. I have read every book in this series. It still amazes me that every book is new and the main characters revisit each book. Saying  that I recommend you start are the very beginning and follow along with the Men and Women of the Satan’s Devils. You won’t be disappointed!

The 5th book in the Moore Family Saga was such a great read. Miles and Bella our main characters are married and have twins. They are very attentive to their immediate and extended family and the strength they gather from this closeness is truly a fine work of detail written in by the author. I love to read about strong family bonds and romance especially when a bit of paranormal is tossed into the mix! I enjoyed the easy reading style and the deeply feeling characters that are incredibly well thought out and written. It was so great to be able to identify and be able to hear the thoughts of both of our main characters not just a one-sided conversation or thought bubble. While I have not read the first four books, I am anxious to go back and start the series from the beginning as book 5 had me enthralled from the first page. It was exciting to be able to see a glimpse inside the music industry and to learn about the pitfalls and the fact that even celebrities remain tempted by their past, their fame, and the money. But I must say that the romance scenes are classy and romantic and so well written that I couldn’t help but to fall in love with Miles myself. Such a great read!

This book didn’t quite live up to the action packed adventure that the blurb had me looking forward to but I still did enjoy reading it. There is still a fair bit of action in it, enough to keep me entertained and wanting to see how the story panned out.
I have to say that I hate Sullivan from the very beginning and I thought Lydia should have been more forceful in trying to push him away. I did like Lydia and Cam and was rooting for Lydia to complete her task and be reunited with Cam.
I did enjoy reading Lydia’s trek through the jungle, facing danger and putting up with the awful Sullivan. I have to say that I really did not expect the twist and turn that the story took. That really was a huge surprise for me.
The author has said that she may write more about Cam and Lydia’s adventures in the future and I’d definitely like to read more about this couple.
I would recommend this story.

My goodness Miles, I honestly don’t know how my heart has coped with you, Bella you are my inspiration. This story should come with a waring, do not start if you have plans, my husband got so upset as we were going out, but I just wanted to keep reading, we compromised with me reading while he drove and did most of the chores as I just couldn’t stop reading!! This series has been sublime, I have loved every page. I am so excited to see what this author will imagine next.

This book picks up with Becky and Chance enjoying married life. They are spending time with Cassie and Becky is back to opening up for some of country music’s hottest artists. However, the bliss doesn’t last for long when Becky starts having weird dreams and Carrie comes back to stir things up with Chance. When Chance takes Cassie to spend time with Carrie in New York, a chain of events is set off that will change the course of all of their lives.

However, when the unthinkable happens, Becky is not sure how she will move forward. She finds herself connecting with someone new for reasons that feel beyond her own understanding. Can she move on with her life? Is Cassie going to be okay with all of this? And why does a stranger feel like someone she has known forever?

I found this book to be fast-paced and full of little twists and turns. There are also some emotional ups and downs that I did not see coming and kept me immersed in the story. I enjoyed reading it…and finished it in a single sitting. I also enjoyed all the secondary characters. The book wrapped up by giving us a glimpse into the futures of all of the supporting characters which was fun.

This is an author that is fast becoming an author I hesitate to pick up when I see one of her books. I have enjoyed her books from the beginning. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest picking up the first book as well. It is just as great as the first one, if not better. I enjoy this author’s writing style and her attention to details to make her stories steamy and pop. The characters keep the story engaging and are connectable. A fast paced story that is not only hard to put down but also kept me turning pages to the end. This is a romance story where choices could just put your fate in someone else’s hands. Dreams could be broken and Elsa and Anton are about to find out just what this could mean for them. I really enjoyed their chemistry and their growth throughout the story. I also enjoyed the growth of the plot that kept me wanting to know more. This is a great pick up that I highly recommend along with this author.

I loved this book so much but it also really got me emotionally. I love this author’s writing and I am in love this this series! You meet Elsa and Anton in book 1 so when book 2 came out I was so excited and once I started reading I could not put the book down until the very end.

Elsa and Anton’s love story is perfectly beautiful..or so you think. Their relationship is truly put through the emotional trial of a roller-coaster. They have ups and down and the downs were just heartbreaking and a punch to the gut. Will their love survive even the darkest of days? You definitely should read this book to find out. I cannot say enough and I do not want to give any spoilers away but in the end I was truly rooting for Elsa and Anton and their love story. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars
