This book felt like a love letter, a love letter going back and forth between two eras, 1947 and the current time. Kat is a jazz singer who is just finishing a tour when she meets a stranger who gifts her with a locket. She finds a message in the locket and stumbles upon a portal that takes her back in time. Then the saga switches between the two eras and you fly on the magic carpet when the leading duo pull you into the world of jazz and everything vintage and retro. It is a beautiful read, I loved every bit of it. Beautiful romance . Hats off !

Wow. This book has me hooked from the introduction. I have never read a Trident Security book but after reading this book, I have to read the series. I felt like I was watching a movie reading this book, constantly wondering what’s next. Bodine’s character made my blood boil and my heart ached so badly for Callie. Definitely a great read!

Just lovely. Something Lost by Bernadette Marie is a beautiful, second chance romance! This isn’t my first by Bernadette Marie and as always, she delivers a well-written story with great flow. I just love her writing style and character development. This was a page-turner for me for sure.
A group of friends and teammates return home to mourn the loss of their high school coach. Rachel, the coach’s daughter is there and we begin to learn that she and one of the friends, Craig, have history. Is there too much history? Or can they rekindle love from the past?
I just loved this book. It was full of nostalgia, friendship, and romance. I felt the characters were relatable, helping me invest more in the story. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

The deep emotional connection that this story touches on would be great for any YA read. And have the conversations that come up. High school and home life can get the best of any teen. When you throw in all the drama and heartache that comes with both! Most teens dwell on the bad things and take all the things said to heart. This story shows it is ok to make mistakes. But learning to trust your own heart in the process. This story is great for the younger kids to show them it is going to be ok in the end.

“The Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds #1)” by Robin Mahle and Elle Madison is a combination of the Disney Pixar movie, “Brave” mixed in with a little bit of Sarah J Maas’ (“A Crown of Wings and Fury” series).
Princess Rowan and her cousin Davin are arrested for trespassing and smuggling, held captive by the “barbarian” country that has been at war with their home of Lochlann, for years. Rowan is able to convince the Socairans to let Davin go free, but in exchange, she is to face a trial at the hands of the elder leaders of the surrounding communities. Accompanied to the Summit by Theo, a Socairan prince, Rowan anxiously awaits her fate- wondering if she will be subject to death. But as the journey goes forward and the Summit date draws near, Rowan and Theo begin to fall for each other even though both know that a relationship between the two rival clans would not be looked at favourably. As the Summit arrives, Rowan fears that she will be separated from Theo forever and Theo wonders if his influence will be enough to save Rowan’s life.
“Scarlet Princess” has nothing in its plotline that will be unexpected. Fans of this genre, and YA fantasy fans, will know exactly what is going to happen and how it will play out. That does not mean, of course, that you can’t enjoy the ride along the way.
Rowan is spunky and wry, unwilling to accept the fate dolled on upon her by the male leaders, every ounce the stereotypical young female role model. Sarcastic and brave, she is the very face of the protagonist we come to expect in a female-led YA fantasy series. Theo too, is the “well built, handsome and chiseled” prince whose love for Rowan is unexpected, and risky, but the two fall madly in love with each other anyway, after less than two weeks together.
The novel is the first in a series, and I adored Rowan enough that I am invested in seeing what happens next. “Scarlet Princess” is well-written, easy to read, and has great flow. The characters are completely charming and likable, and there is an instant bond between Rowan and the reader. I was invested in what her fate would be, and the ending provided the expected cliff-hanger that comes with a series of novels. “Scarlet Princess” is a light and fun fantasy read, and it will definitely appeal to fans of Sarah J Maas and authors of her ilk.

When it comes to KG Fletcher, I always pick up her books. She has not disappointed me so far. This book is a masterpiece. The plotline is engaging and full of adventure of a beautiful love story. The characters are beautiful, full of life, and easy to relate to. The story is about a young woman who is a jazz singer who is coming off a tour. She is approached by a stranger who gives her a gift. This gift is a locket. With this locket, there is a message and it has a portal that takes her through time. That is when the adventure begins. I recommend reading this book to get the joy of reading the adventurous love story for yourself.

Why We Don’t Die In Dream: Book One by Debbie Zello is a brilliant book that really does leave you wanting more! There are so many twists and turns in this book you won’t know which way you are going. The author well and truly captures your attention on page one and doesn’t let go. I loved the main character. His journey is such an interesting one and I really enjoyed how woven into the story he is. This is a fantastic book and I seriously cannot wait for book 2!

I really love the way Krysten Lindsay Hager makes me fall in love with young adult novels all over again every time I pick up one of her books. This book really captured the teen angst and emotions that we feel when we are traversing the world of dating. I especially love how she makes it relatable whether you are young or old, the emotions are the same and we often have the same difficulties determining the way to handle them. In Dating the IT Guy we get to see this play out very real and raw and in your face and I loved every moment of it. I was once again taken away to a time when life seemed so hard at the time but I know for a fact I would go back to the way things were, so simple and so minute in the grand scheme of things. I enjoyed this one and look forward to seeing what will come next form Ms. Hager.

The Bow: A Fated Mates Greek Myth Paranormal Romance (Her Three Immortals Book 3) by Hazel Storm 4 Star!!!!
Wow what more can I Say? This is the third book in tihs series I have read and oh boy I sure was not let down. I really have enjoyed this author’s take on a reverse harem. I find that the series is refreshing and unique. I have really enjoyed reading this series.
The characters are all very well written. I like how there is not just romance but a bit of drama too. Even though this is paranormal the characters have real life issues and this makes it so much better to read as it isn’t predictable and the reader can relate to the characters better. I cannot wait for more from this series.

I really enjoyed this take on a classic tale. It is beautifully written and changed to make the story more modern. The Cinderella in this tale isn’t rushing to meet the Prince. The Prince is happily married to another man. It is a beautiful mix of a classical fairy tale and a sci-fi twist with the nightmare creatures trying to take over. It is definately a great remake of a classic.
Ashling has the Cinderella life style. Her parents have passed away and she is left at the mercy of her step mother and step sisters, forced to become a slave in her own home. But that all changes when she spots things changing in their world. Their world which is protected from the outside by a dome. When things start entering her world from the outside she realises she needs to get help and she heads to the Palace.
Prince Callum has met and married the love of his life in Teague. The problem is the safety of his kingdom and the keeping of the protection of the dome relys on the blood of his heir. So now Callum needs to find someone who he can care for to become the mother of his child and to save the kingdom.
In true Cinderella fashion when the clock strikes midnight things start to change and this leads Prince Callum on a hunt for Ashling. Will he find her? Will she agree to mother his child? And what of the relationship between Prince Callum and Teague can it survive the addition of another person? And the main thing. Can they stop the nightmare creatures from taking over their peaceful little world?

All I knew going into this was that it was a fantasy romance based on the story of Cinderella that included monsters but boy was I surprised at what this story really held within its pages. This was a quick, fast paced story that I devoured really quickly! I’d definitely recommend it to an older crowd, as the first page or so of the book itself recommends, due to the sexual scenes being super spicy. The book is loosely based on Cinderella holding to her father passing away and leaving her with a horrid step mother and cruel step sisters, but also the going to the ball, and leaving a slipper behind after she flees into the night. There are added fantasy elements with the protective dome and monsters that I thought added a great new twist to the story. The characters and their relationships were developed well and modernized, original, and definitely not something you would find in your old school Cinderella story. This is a brand new refreshing take on a classic fairytale. There is no cliffhanger per say but it absolutely leaves you wanting to read more and will leave you looking forward to book two’s release. My only issue with this book honestly was the names! Callum and Ashling I didn’t have trouble with which was good due to the fact they are some of the main characters but Teague and Fionnuala and Bronagh ? I had trouble with those and every time I got to one of them it would pull me out of the story and I would have read a few paragraphs before I would be pulled back into only to stumble on one of them again. I ended up just calling Fionnuala “The Queen” for the whole book.

Kayla and Tanner have undeniable chemistry. Their meet-cute in the coffee shop was funny and adorable at the same time. And what luck that the construction worker she was watching from her apartment every morning just so happened to be watching her too! I love that this story revolves around a single mother, a military wife/mother with a deployed husband, and everything that those two things entail. Kayla is working a job that she isn’t sure she loves; Tanner is working as a manager on the site rather than working with his own hands and getting a business ready for his brother-in-law when he comes home from Afghanistan, and Rad is still on his own personal “journey”. It made it extremely relatable and incredibly easy to read. Add in the intense steamy scenes and the budding romance between Kayla and Tanner and this book was amazing from start to finish. I love the relationship that was made between Kayla and Tanner’s sister and between the kids, but the ultimate heart-melting moment for me was between Kayla’s daughter and Tanner. This story was wonderful, and I am looking forward to reading more from Lara Ward Cosio. I suggest you do the same!
The Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison is a captivating story about Rowan. The story opens with Rowan and her cousin Davin sitting in a dungeon. The cousins had been caught smuggling Vodka from Socair to Lochlann. Lord Theodore interrogates the two and states that the punishment for smuggling is death. When Princess Rowan and Lord Davin stand before Duke Iire, he proclaims that the Summit will decide their fate. Much to Lord Davin’s dismay, Princess Rowan gains clemency for him by stating the smuggling was her fault, and he had only come along upon her request. The trip to the Summit lasts several days, and a romance builds between Lord Theodore and the princess. They keep their affair a secret even after they reach the Summit.
Lochlann was blamed for causing a war that caused the deaths of many Socairians. Since Socair consisted of 9 clans, the Summit was where the clans met and formed a council when a decision would affect all of them. Princess Rowan attempts to disguise the one feature that would show her affiliation with Lochlann: her fiery red hair. While at the Summit, Princess Mila befriends Princess Rowan, and introduces her to a different side of Socair. Despite attempting to avoid standing out, the council seems conflicted on what her outcome would be. Will they vote in her favor? Or will she die at the gallows?
I thoroughly enjoyed The Scarlet Princess. The flow of the story was steady with plenty of action. I loved how Princess Rowan was witty and forthcoming, never holding her tongue despite how others viewed her. Her red hair seemed to be considered a curse, and I wonder why that thought seemed validated by everyone. I only was able to connect this to possibly being a trait of Lochlann royalty. The romance between Lord Theodore and Princess Rowan seemed strange at first, but at the Summit, the reasoning fit perfectly. Mahle and Madison created a stunning 5-star book and I sincerely look forward to continuing the series. The ending is wide open for the many possibilities that await Princess Rowan.

I absolutely loved this book. It is a second chance romance and the story of Craig and Rachel definitely keeps you wanting more. Craig returns home to attend his high school coach’s funeral and runs into his high school sweetheart Rachel who is none other than the coach’s daughter. They have unfinished business to work through and it leads them back in to each other’s arms and hearts. I know I am already in love with this series and definitely plan on getting the rest of the books.

This was a good book right from the start, I do enjoy my romances and I certainly do enjoy my steamy stories that defiantly like to bring on the heat like a nicely heated oven. This amazing book certainly did that and then some! It was a book that truly sucked me in, and I could sit back and enjoy my coffee in my peace, and wonder what would happen next with all the characters! And that is exactly what I did!
The characters were so relatable in different ways. Kayla was a awesome character. She was a single mom, but that does not mean she does not have certain things she needs or wants fulfilled. Things a good cup of coffee just can not withhold to do! Throw in Tanner. Sexy, sweet, and a hard worker and has the right thing to squeeze in certain places. (Yes I id enjoy the visual of his perfectly described buns he has in various moments through out reading) The attraction between them is mutual for sure. They both have things going on and both in different ways, and they both know they need to prioritize their ends and their goals they are out doing…but perhaps a good amount of fun and pleasure was in the cards? I mean it is not like feelings or any other drama will come in the way of fun casual sex right?
That is when drama of course happens. Things are good for Tanner and Kayla. Maybe just too good. With every growing touch, or thrust I dare say, maybe just maybe one or both of them is realizing there is more to what makes the sex so good than just sex. Maybe they can not live without the other? Maybe that emptiness in their hearts they felt they need not worry about could finally be filled even if they always felt it was never needed? Sometimes the things you never knew you wanted truly are the things you absolutely needed,…but with good causal sex can cause drama other than catching something that will make your heart flutter…Kayla’s ex returns. I first off thought he was a crappy dad to her daughter. And a horrible person. I wanted him gone. Will be come in the way of Tanner and Kayla’s happiness. Or will the casual friends with benefits grow to be something only the great musicians write about?
The author did a amazing job at this book! The character development was amazing, and I was hooked from the drama to the steamy lustful filled moments, to rooting for a happily ever after by the end! i loved all the feels I had going for me as I read through. It was a well written story and everything molded together perfectly. I defiantly can not wait to read more by this author in the future1 Their ability to craft a great story as they did here, for sure makes them a worth while author to read!
Time travel with a twist. Awesome book – easy to read. So romantic with a love that transcends time. Creative storyline that dragged me in and kept me there. The characters were relatable and the writing flowed. I’m happy that there is a book 2 as I felt a bit hung out to dry at the end. Definitely recommend for romance lovers.

I am extremely familiar with this author as she is one of my favorite young adult romance writers. She has an amazing ability to capture the characters and their angst to perfection. This was no different. I am always able to read her books and feel like I am in these characters shoes at the same time and place. While I may not have enjoyed my teen years back then, I love going back and reliving it through these characters and their stories. As usual with her books, I was unable to put it down until the end. And once it was over I wanted I pick up the next book to keep the story going. If you love to read about teenage angst as much as I do, please give this story a read.

Something Lost is the first book in the Funerals and Weddings Series by Bernadette Marie. This is a Contemporary Romance about second chances. I absolutely loved this book and being pulled in from the beginning I was lost in the pages and had to know what was going to happen next. I’ve read several books by this author and I’m a huge fan and this looks kike this series will go on my re-read list as well. There were parts of this story my heart ached and my emotions were all over the place but it could have had something to do with my life at that moment. This is Rachel and Craig’s story. These two were a thing in high school he was the star football player and she was the coach’s daughter. Things happened and it tore them apart but they are brought back together years later after her dads funeral. Can these two get a second chance? But will past secrets tear them apart again? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Love’s Refrain is book one in The Stardust Duet by K.G. Fletcher and is a time travel romance adventure story. Love’s Refrain is a beautiful heart-warming story told over the past and the present as our heroine travels in time. It is one of those stories that once read you have the desire to read all over again and not let go. These wonderful characters found their way into my heart. Once you start this book you will not be able to put it down. I enjoy KG’s easy flowing writing style.
It starts with a locket and a mysterious message and a portal that thrusts you back in time. It takes her on an unexpected journey where she finds a strange world where love, jealousy and war reside. One man but two different versions in two contrasting worlds.

Entwined by A.L. Morrow is a Cinderella retelling and the first book in the Stone and Cinder series. It is a fairy tale with a major twist. It is a MMF tale that is scandalous and sexy and a bit fabulous and it is definitely original and different. We have magic and myths, Prince Charming, his hubby and as AL puts it a killer pair of shoes. It is a menage a trios fantasy romance tale where things go bump in the night and turn in to more than just pumpkins at midnight.

No Way Out Love loss constantly, right? What can go wrong in the mafia life? Well everything. It’s a gamble who you love, who you lose and who you could be sold off to in terms of a better foothold in the mafia life. What does Max get out of this. Who is Matt? What is going to happen to Lil? Can’t something happen to this piece of crap Benito because he’s just no good for anyone. This book had me entranced and I read it in less than a day. The author Amy McKinley wrote this book so well you can’t help be pulled in. I be reading the next in her series as this is only book 1.

This book pulled me in immediately! With lots of engaging characters, No Way Out will definitely keep you on your toes. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing, as well as some romance, so there’s a little bit for everyone. Of course, there is also lots of action to be had. Even though I’m more of a sci-fi/fantasy reader, this easy read was a page turner that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Brittany Anne is a hopeless romantic and an unrelenting dreamer, forever shoving logic aside for the sake of love and “happily ever after.”

Amy Mckinley is starting to become one of my favourite authors. This book was brilliant I could not put it down. Liliana is the daughter of the Mafia boss and Max is assigned to be her bodyguard. But she isn’t allowed to choose who she wants to be with, her father has a marriage arranged for her but it is only for his gain. Maybe yet she can’t fight the pull towards a certain sexy bodyguard.

Well this is the type of love and care I now need in my life. Liliana is a strong independent woman that carries some heat. What gets me is the mystery and the wonder what can happen next, and they did amazing with the cover art Max is yum!

No Way Out is a riveting Romeo-Juliet type tale about two Mafia members. I’d heard a lot about Amy McKinley, so I had high expectations going into this book, and let me tell you- Yall. She does NOT disappoint! While it did take a second into the book for me to fully get a grasp of everything that was happening as all the characters were introduced, once you get past that part, it’s hard to put the book down! I absolutely loved it, and loved the way she wove the story around. 10/10, will be reading more of her books!

This book was amazing! Revenge at its finest. Kel O’Connor has woven this tale that is original, suspenseful, and a complete page turner. The characters were well developed and you could easy relate to each of their plights. Amy is tormented by guilt regarding her sisters death, and becomes obsessed with getting revenge. With constant emotions of guilt and pain she is estranged from her family who she believes finds her to blame. When her team accepts a case that is related to the very drug lord who murdered her sister she becomes closer to catching the killer and getting her closure. What she does not expect is Hugh the man who hired her agency to be someone who brings out her lust and possibly even her love. With many twists and turns this dramatic and suspenseful story will have you unable to put this book down until the end.

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Amy I would say was obsessed with revenge, she wanted justice for her sister. When she is hired to investigate some drug smuggling she finds her opportunity to finally get what she has been waiting for…Revenge.
Hugh is the lawyer that hired Amy. He wants to find out who is smuggling drugs into his mother’s charity. The more time they spend around each other the closer they get. There is something about Amy’s strength that Hugh really likes.
Will Amy get her revenge?
Overall this was a great read, I highly suggest reading book one so that some things make more sense in this book. We get suspense, action, danger and so much more. We get twists and turns and secrets that add a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

This is the first book in the Stone and Cinder series, and I got so involved!! Warning: it ends on a cliffhanger. Ashling Glasby has the evil stepmother and two horrible stepsisters. She does all the housework, cooking, and taking care of the animals. But Ashling is not one to be held back. When she realizes the nightmare creatures have broken through the barrier, she rushes to the castle. Prince Callum is having a ball, he needs an heir. He has told his husband that they will both agree on the woman chosen. Ashling is a strong woman who has had enough of being pushed around. She has had enough of her stepmother, but can she make it on her own? The Prince is looking for Ashling, will he be able to find her? I will be waiting anxiously for the next book.

Morrow – Review by Angela Packard
Wow!! Just wow! This breath of fresh air in the form of a book was absolutely wonderful. Reading about Liliana and her badass self was absolutely wonderful. She did not need anybodies protection and she let people know it. She was a force to be reckoned with. Max is the perfect partner for her. He wasn’t overly possessive at all. He was protective but still let her have her freedom too. There were some pretty steamy scenes that just added to the story instead of overwhelming it. I can’t wait to read more in this series and see what happens to the rest of Liliana’s close group of friends!
