My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that is fast becoming one of my favorites for the dark paranormal gene. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous two books. It will help you with your enjoyment of this series as well as this author’s writing style. This is a well written story that pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are not only relatable but also keep the story engaging. This is a story that is not only dark but also full of action. It is a fast paced story that kept me turning pages to the end. This is Angel and what happens when she is found in a pool of blood. It is a story in which she will need to overcome her own demons to fight by Trentino’s side. Will that happen? You need to pick up this book to find out. It has great growth with the characters and the plot throughout the story. The characters have great chemistry that I truly enjoyed. This is worth the pick up for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this historical romance holiday story. This is the first book in this series and I look forward to reading more from this author. This is a well written story about Cora and Jace and their discovery of hope along with the holiday spirit. They are great characters that I had no problem connecting to. They brought the story to life on each page. They are full of heart and I enjoyed their chemistry together. The growth of the plot throughout the story really added to the reading enjoyment of this book. This story brings the holiday spirit as well as just sets you in the mood for the holidays. This is one of my favorite holiday stories yet this year. I highly recommend this book. You don’t want to miss this one.

Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase, #3)Embracing Jared by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a sweet story that drew happy tears on more than one occasion, I loved it! Embracing Jared hit me on a deep level. I felt sadness, anger, tears, happiness and love throughout. I’ve lost a family member to the dreadful disease that’s stealing Mr. Christopher’s life, so I can completely understand everything Jared is feeling when it comes to his father.
Madison, personifies the reason I actually decided the medical field wasn’t for me. I can’t disconnect, but neither can she. She cares fiercely for her patients and deals with the aftermath in her own time. Madison and Jared definitely started out with a rocky Nurse/Client relationship, however despite that Jared realizes she’s the best thing for his father. He also starts to admire her in other ways, are his feelings mutual?
Though this is book 3 in the A Thrill of the Chase series, not only do I believe I read book 1 a while ago, I’m ready to go back and read through all 3 in a row. Even saying that it’s very good as a stand-alone, you don’t necessarily have to read the others. READ IT, COM’ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO!

5 Stars

 

Embracing Jared is the third book in the Thrill of The Chase series by Anna Paige. It is a superb Rockstar romance, drama, chemistry, sparks, tension, brotherhood, family, and plenty of emotion.
As with the other two books in the series, it could be read as a standalone, but in doing that, I feel you would be doing yourself a disservice, as there is a lot of information and important details in the other books that would highly enhance your reading experience of this third instalment, as well as the series as a whole.
Again, the author has upped the ante and delivered a captivating story that enhances this fantastic series. It is Rockstar romance done right- with all the author’s clever touches and original take on the topic. I couldn’t have loved the characters, storyline and details any more than I did.
So, if you love Rockstar romance, contemporary romance, a captivating story, and endearing slightly flawed characters- then you really should do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy of this book (and series) and fall in love with these wonderful characters, stories, and talented author.
This book has only reinforced the fact that I am addicted to the ‘Thrill of the Chase’ and am an Anna Paige junkie- I soooo can’t wait for my next fix!

Thank you, Anna Paige!

Madison swoops right into Jared’s life like a hurricane and knocks him right off his feet before he even realizes what’s happening. I really love that Jared has a stutter and he isn’t portrayed as this perfect shallow rock star, it makes him so much more endearing and adorable! He is so heart meltingly sweet with his father who has some memory issues. Madison misjudges Jared so harshly in the beginning nut once she meets him in person she realizes just how wrong she was. Once she starts to let her walls down, he works his way into her heart just as deeply as his father has. There are so many sweet moment interjected with the tears along the way, that this book had me hooked from the very first page. The ending is absolutely swoon worthy and this is a book that is definitely a must read. The other band members have some parts in this book that have me eager to go and read the first books in this series to find out more about them!

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and I loved Madison without fully meeting her yet just by the letter she sent to Jared.

Jared is a Rock star who loves music and his father. When he gets a sassy letter from his fathers caretaker he decides to take a trip to visit his dad and meet this woman to give her a piece of his mind. But when he meets Madison his plans change. They both have one thing in common, the best care for his dad. Jared also has a promise to keep.

Overall I really enjoyed this read, my emotions were all over the place. The characters were great, they have become one of my favorite couples in this series. The author does a great job with her writing. I was really happy with the ending. If you’re looking for a great Rock star series this is the one for you, this book can be read as a stand alone but reading them in order gives you the best experience. 1-click and get started today.

Another great addition to this series! Once again, K.G. Fletcher wrote a novella full of warm and fuzzies. Its because of this author I’ve found a love for holiday romance stories! So many feelings are packed into these quick reads, but by the end I’m content and happy. Amber and Gio both had their problems, but the attraction was there from the beginning.

Whoa! What a story! Really.. I was blown away! What I love about this is the look behind the rock star. Sure there are band moments but this really is about Jared and his life. I enjoyed how little moments became larger moments and really I just loved Jared and his devotion to Mr C.

The feelings displayed by the characters and also *felt* by the reader are immense. Many times I want to Hoot and Holler for Jared and other times I wanted to put my hand on his shoulder in commiseration. I really felt his joy even if they were happy tears. Cookie is a delight. Feisty, sassy and stands up for herself. I loved her interaction with Mr C. She is someone everyone would love to have on their staff.

I love and enjoy seeing all the guys in the band. They are truly brothers first and band members second. It shows over and over in this story. I love the joking and noodling. Even when Kade laid into one of the other characters…I was like..Yup don’t mess with him!

These stories are so much more that just rock star romance. There is depth behind each of them that makes the reader go through a hoard or emotions. I laughed, cried, felt empathy and was surprised while reading. I easily end up loving all the characters and could see myself rereading this one. I eagerly look forward to Lennox’ story.

A Cold Creek Christmas (Reigning Hearts, #5)A Cold Creek Christmas by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a quick, sweet Christmas read!

Amber doesn’t celebrate Christmas because of her very lonely past. In fact, the town knows her as a self-proclaimed grinch. Everything changes when she meets Gio, though. It is love at first sight. But then she learns he has a kid, and doubt starts creeping into her heart. Can she deal with her past so that she can open her heart to include others? Will she be able to move past her feelings of not measuring up to others to see what is being offered to her?

I enjoyed the story line. It was heart breaking for me to imagine what Amber must have gone through growing up the way she did. The characters were rather easy to relate to, which made the story flow very quickly for me. I enjoyed getting to know them and seeing them happy in the end.

As the story progess Madsion and Jared intreactons become for frequent due to her caring for his dad. At times we see frustrations from both side and reading through both side makes it more understandable

This is a rock and roll romance story. It is raw and edgy, and the energy was palpable. I loved the first two books and this one just gets better. The characters are delightful and real and will capture your heart. Emotions run deep so drink up and grab a tissue.
He had his dreams. He had it all. He had his demons. He was torn. He was angry. He was blindsided, but he would create World War three to protect those he loves.

What a fantastic addition to the series this book is. This book is all about the characters. Right from the word go they have such a strong connection. Their chemistry is obvious in every page and they really take over the when book.
What I also really enjoyed about this book is that is had a depth about it that that don’t often find with rock star romances. It made it much easier to engage with the story as it developed.
This was a great book overall and a strong series that is worth a read.

This is the sixth book in this series. I highly recommend reading the previous books in order to get the full scope of the overarching story line.
Finally! We get to know Oz. It’s been quite a journey to get to this point, each brother bringing another layer to the picture. Loved Sasha’s character – brave, strong, resourceful. I found the direction that the author took Sasha’s past was interesting. It wasn’t what I expected and definitely added an intriguing layer to the character.
There are a lot of other things I could comment on, but it would contain spoilers.

This is the 2nd book in the series but each can be read as a stand-alone. I had read, and loved, the 2nd book but haven’t read the first book, something I need to remedy.
This book come under the trope of Rock Star romance but it is so, so much more than that. The author tackles 2 difficult subjects, those being speech difficulties and dementia, and she does so in an amazing manner. She really highlights the pain and suffering that those with these issues, and their loved ones, go though. She does an incredible job of tugging at the heartstrings and taking you through an emotional roller coaster of a journey.
I adored both of the main characters Jared and Madison (Cookie). I totally fell in love with Madison’s character immediately, when I read the email reply that she sent to Jared. She’s a total badass who is damn good at her job and takes no prisoners. Jared really tore at my heartstrings. I just wanted to give him a huge hug so many times. Just how much can one man take in his life. The very fact that I had so many emotions just shows how well this author is at character building.
I loved this book and can’t wait to read more from this series.

Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase, #3)Embracing Jared by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was truly amazing, from start to finish, I felt so much, I really felt for the characters and what they endured in life and what they had to do, well to get through life. The book was real as it could get with characters and emotions, and life being itself. This was a wild ride, one that I would surely ride again!

What got me truly with those heart strings of mine, was not the romance of a relationship with a girl working out for Jared, but with his own father. I truly felt the emotions of how he cared for him and wanted to be a good and good for his father type of son. You could tell at first glance that under some blankets issues were there, be it with Jared or his father. I really enjoyed their side of the story, getting all those emotions and feels, I learned things about Jared I did not expect to, and it really made me want to reach out and hug him truly! I loved how much Jared truly loved his father and respected him despite his life as a rock star, I did not expect that, but it was wonderful and full of heart, loved that!

Madison was his father’s nurse. Though she was a nurse providing care. I could sense she felt the same and cared for him on a friend level rater more than just patient and nurse type of level. I found the chemistry with Madison and Jared wonderful as well. It was very convincing and you knew the passion was there the more time they spent together, though you knew bot were reluctant to allow either of themselves to feel anything for one another, despite what ever excuse that may be. This is what I loved about this book, it was not your traditional guy meets girl, fall in love with a dash of issues. There was so much to this story that was full of heart and emotion! It is a rare read, and a delightful/powerful one!

This book as I have said was an emotional ride for me, some feels were nice and cute, others were tears flowing down my face, especially with Jared and his father, and others were just feeling of, well hope. I enjoyed this book and all sides/aspects that it brought on respectively. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend this must read novel to everyone that comes across it! Loved this amazing book!

A five-star read that will embrace you and make you feel complete. This is number three in the Thrill of the Chase series and its like the cherry on the top of an ice-cream Sunday, it just makes the whole thing so much better. Jared broke my heart, his passion for music and his farther were just sublime and showed on the page, you could feel his emotions pouring out. Everything he has been through, just made sense at every point of the story, he stays true to his promise and broke me. Cookie well cookie is a sweet and strong as the food her nickname is after, strong like a biscotti, but sweet like a chocolate chip. Madison and the sense of love for those in her care, showed what a difference a good care giver can bring to peoples lives. It was odd as I was having a total am I on the right path moment and reading about Madison and her passion, re-ignited mine, showing me why my role is so important. This author is one of those that makes you stop and think when you see their name on a novel, they make you want to drop everything to start reading.

This is a tremendous book! The emotions you feel while reading it. Yes, Jared is a rock star but he is also a son looking out for his father. What a beautiful and well-written story. You have the challenges with romance between him and his father’s nurse. There are also the feelings as he comes to terms with his father’s aging. I can find my myself relating to the characters and how they are feeling with the issues they are dealing with. This book is original, romantic and still one-of-a-kind. The plot was amazing because it flowed so smoothly back and forth from the rock band to his dealings with the nurse and the nursing home. Little Shay was my absolute favorite. The heartstrings get tugged and you just can’t help but love this story. Give it a shot. I highly recommend. It would get more than a 5 if I could give it.

I was taken on such a journey with this emotional romance, from heart break, to laughter, to surprise, to feeling fully invested, to the heart-warming moments in between, it really was a full circle kind of story.

I love how this author writes with so much detail, leaving nothing to the imagination, I felt so invested in this story and in these characters lives, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything played out after all the tears were shed.

This is a rockstar romance and is part of A Thrill Of The Chase series. I loved the author attention to detail and how the characters are written in a way that makes them relatable. Both of the main characters are strong determined people who have their own minds and plans. The story is fast paced and has you hooked from the beginning.

Jared is a member of the band. The band is his whole life. The only other thing more important to him that his band is his dad.
With his dad in care Jared struggles with worry about whether his father is getting the best care. When the person who is supposed to following his instructions doesn’t do that Jared is looking to get rid of her.
The interactions between Jared and Madison especially at the beginning are full of angst as they both want the same thing. Jared wants his dad looked after and Madison wants to care for him the best she can.
It is important for Jared to honour a promise he made and that is his main focus, but when he meets Madison things change. Will they be able to work together to achieve something they both want?
As their relationship grows you are taken on a ride that will leave you in tears from both heartbreak and happiness. I was completely taken away with this story and the author’s writing really captives you and drags you into their lives.

This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up of hers. I enjoy her writing style as well as her attention to details. She pulls me into her stories from the beginning. This book is no different. This is a rockstar romance story that I really enjoyed. The characters are relatable and brought the story to life. I enjoyed their growth as well as the growth of the plot throughout the story. The characters’ chemistry is great and made them entertaining to read about. This is a story about a guitarist that is part of a band that means everything to him except for his father. He is one person that is more important and not only that but a promise has been made that he needs to keep. Then he meets her and things change for them. The one thing he never expected was to have her come into his life. What happens next you will have to read this book to find out. They are great characters that made the story for me. It is a fast paced, engaging story that I highly recommend.

I really liked this book however the ending for me was a little anti climatic. I was expecting so much more and I was kind of let down. The rest of the book was fabulous! I love Em and Stefano. They are hot from the get go…even in their own darkness.

This book is book 3 in the series and is not a standalone. This author’s writing style keeps me reading, keeps me turning the pages. The fire that Em has makes it easy to admire her. The darkness and determination that Stefano has makes it easy to love him. The evil that Frank has makes it easy to continue to hate him.

Looking forward to what comes next for this group of Mafia princesses and princes.

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite, #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the year comes to an end, I am once again astounded by the talent that this author has for writing. Like the previous two books in the series, as well as many of her other works, the book was quick to draw me in, especially since I’ve enjoyed the other two books immensely and couldn’t wait for the story to continue, even if it was focused on yet another new pair of characters, much like her other stories. This book, like many others, can be read as a standalone novel, but there are references to previous books in the series that make more sense if you have read them as well.

Stefano and Emiliana have fate against them in this continuation of the addictive Mafia Elite story. Much like Romeo and Juliet, they are forbidden to love one another, but in this modern ‘re-telling’ of the story, the situation is much more complex. The Five Families have discovered a rat in their midst, so whilst trying to hide their love from her father, Stefano is doing everything in his power to protect Emiliana and figure out who is causing trouble in Chicago. The connection between the two, the guessing on who may be the snitch and the overall anticipation of what will become of the forbidden couple made the book impossible to put down. Needless to say, I am beyond thrilled that there is another book in the series, and plan to read it as soon as I am able to!

After her rescue, Emiliana is doing her best to prove that her violent ordeal in Italy hasn’t changed her. Deep down, she feels something darker has been awoken, and she is out for blood. Suffering from anxiety and night terrors, she has become so paranoid, that she trains every day in the modified room that her brother Enzo has created for her.

Fully aware there is a mole feeding information to the Bratva, the girls decide to flush the person out. They launch an investigation into Tony, believing that he hasn’t forgotten being dropped in rank by Max. Meanwhile, Stefano and the other Mafia bosses are attempting to do the same. When Frank Rossi approaches Emiliana in her home, his veiled threat has Enzo and Stefano rushing to hide her and increase the security of all the girls. At Stefano’s secured lake house, Emiliana and Stefano indulge in a long-time infatuation stemming from their childhood. Who is the mole? Frank Rossi? Tony? Who has the information that will reveal the mole?

A Cold Creek Christmas (Reigning Hearts, #5)A Cold Creek Christmas by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be a quick read, it was still oh so amazing! I loved every minute spent reading this Novella! I HAVE GOT to go read the others in the series NOW!! LOVED the setting and that it took place during CHRISTMAS. As a lover of Christmas I was puzzled as to why Amber was such a grinch. As I read more, her painful past was revealed, then I understood why. Gio met Amber and the instant attraction was perfect. After knowing why she was a grinch he made it his sole mission to fix her grinchness. LOL Loved how a new Holly leaf was turned as I continued to read. Gosh Amber and Gio’s love story was too sweet! I may have cried happy tears. Definitely a MUST read!!

5 +++++++ Stars

I finished this book and would normally come right in and write a review. I couldn’t do that with this one. The very first thing I did was one click book 2. I had to read some of that because it was like I had quit breathing after the first.

I normally shy away from anything too sad, anything to do with anyone having the big “C”. I will say that other readers’ reviews for this book is what reeled me in, and the cover kept drawing me back to it. I’m especially shocked that I chose to read this in the times we are living in.

I was hooked on the first paragraph! I hated every single time I had to put this book down, and it never left my mind till I picked it back up. I was completely shocked that this is this author’s first book. I still can’t believe it. It was written as well if not better than many best selling books out there today. Authors with a whole list of books do not have anything on this author. I can tell this was written with a lot of emotion, care, and love. I felt every bit of that. Will and Tori **sigh** first I’ll start with Tori. I walked in her shoes with her this whole book. I fell to my knees with her through this whole book. Her character was written so beautifully and her strength was everything! She was everything Will didnt want around him, yet needed her even though he fought not to. Reading the building of this connection felt completely natural and I cried alot, lost my breath a lot and worried a lot. I also though smiled, and laughed. The interaction between these two was simple perfection in my eyes.

I also want to mention Jenny, I loved her, her character was very strong in this book. I felt her struggle with things I suspected, being torn the way she was I can’t even imagine and don’t know that Id have had the strength to keep those lines from getting blurred.

I loved this book. I already love this author, and I’m so thankful I read it. It’s not all depressing and sad. It’s a journey of a growing love, and a whole lot of hope that never got lost in the mix. It was a lot of people’s reality, and I am so thankful I have the next one sitting right here on my kindle, because waiting for it would probably ruin me!

Many thanks to this author for giving me this book. I know I will be reading this again in the future. I can confidently say this is one of my top 3 books of 2021!
