The God (Her Three Immortals, #2)The God by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot say enough good things about this book!!! How is it possible that Hazel Storm made this book even more amazing than the first in the series? She absolutely blew my mind with this one. It has a very Alice In Wonderland quality to it which I absolutely love and was not expecting at all! PK and Gargonita are both amazing new characters that are introduced and the heat between Vanessa and Grey is out of this world. There is so much symbolism woven throughout this book that just added to my enjoyment of it. Much like the first book in this series, this one pulls at all of the heartstrings, and all of the emotions and had me absolutely glued to it from page one! I am so ready to start the next book in this series and see what else the amazing author has in store for Vanessa.

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing novel!! It captures your mind from the very beginning and keeps you in its grasp all the way through and for many hours afterwards. I was unaware this was a series so when I tried turning the page, on what looked like a new chapter on kindle, I was shocked, dismayed and instantly went looking for book 2. It’s not out yet so I have added it to my must have list. Rowan, Theo, and the rest of the characters have transformed the way romance stories usually happen. I loved all the plot twists and turns. The Princess’s plight at the end will leave you twiddling your thumbs and obsessed with watching the calendar until the next book is due out. Happy reading!!

Forever Valentine (Kirk University, #6)Forever Valentine by Diana Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Professor Valentine by Diana Vale, I couldn’t wait to jump into her sequel (book 6 in the series) Forever Valentine. The continuation of Diego and Cassie’s story. I love what Diana Vale has done with their love affair. Starting out as advisor and student, to a story about twin flames/love. The way Diana Vale develops her characters is done beautifully. The digging deeper into Diego and Cassie’s love is memorizing. With a wonderful supporting cast of minor characters throughout, Diego and Cassie have the love everyone wants. the undying and unyielding kind. I also the way the characters were able to persevere with all the obstacles presented to them, to test their love to the ultimate limit. I look forward to reading other books written by Diana Vale in the future!

Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gone Country by Katrina Marie is a cute and sweet small town love story. I do enjoy how Katrina brought her characters to life.
Stella, a workaholic, has been given the opportunity to go to the small town of Asheville TX to get the new company distribution center up and running. I enjoy Stella’s independence when it comes to her job, but outside of work her codependency on her cousins Audrey and Tiffany is disappointing. As the story moves on we witness her growth in independence outside the workplace. As someone who is all about one’s independence it brought a smile to my face reading through her journey.
Then there’s Johnny, a tall dark and small town man handsome. He not only helps Stella in her disaster on arrival, but he has his own demons to deal with when it comes to intimate relationships. Being scorned by his high school sweetheart he reminded me of a lot of people in this world who have insecurity issues but want to put that behind them and move on. Though never an easy task.
I loved the sweetness of this story as well as the growth of Stella and Johnny, not only individually but also together.
The way Katrina Marie presents her character development, I will definitely be looking into more of her books in the near future!

The Bow was a great read! This book was interesting, entertaining and enthralling. It felt like a really quick read as well. There were so many steamy scenes, that is definitely an 18+ read. I still can’t tell which book so far has been my favorite, but I enjoyed this one much more than the second one so far. I absolutely love the world and characters that Hazel Storm has created in this series. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Easy-going, lighthearted read! Gone Country by Katrina Marie is a sweet, east read romance!

Stella is a city girl who picks up and loves to the country for a job and meets country boy Johnny! Though they are from two different worlds, the collision of their worlds into this romance was sweet and fun —and funny! I found myself laughing out loud during parts and enjoyed getting to know the characters.

Katrina Marie has a comfortable, easy-to-read writing style and this book entertained me and was a pretty fast read! I’ll look out for more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stormwood by Luna Mayfield is a great paranormal romance, but it will give you a definitely creepy vibe, and maybe even some goose bumps. There are so many twists and turns you can’t even begin to predict what will happen next. The characters are wonderful, the plot intriguing, and the over all story left me looking for my by Ms. Mayfield. The characters are very relatable and help draw the reader in from the very beginning, but much like the main character in this story once your drawn in will you be able to get out? You’ll have to read Stormwood by Luna Mayfield to find out for yourself.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet contemporary romance with a little bit of mystery that I definitely enjoyed reading. The romance in the story involves 2 men that vie for Kyra’s affections. Dylan is a marine biologist and also I love how he was devoted to preserving the turtle nests at the beach and more mature. Jake, whom is the son of Dylan’s boss, is a bit more irresponsible. At first, Kyra’s attraction to Jake was undeniable, but she also feels more sparks with Dylan. The bit of mystery that happens is whom is raiding the turtle nests at the beach and taking the eggs for their own greed. I really loved this story and how it flowed all together. I loved this sweet romance.

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly is a short but lovely book. It was easy to feel connected to the main character Kyra, a beautiful, smart young woman working as an intern at the Mon Repos Turtle Center. She has caught the eye of two men she works with – the “bad boy” and the “good guy” and navigates through the situation well. The story takes a turn when the scientists and conservationists find that someone is poaching the turtle eggs. This can devastate the sea turtle population. Can they work together to find the poachers and find love?

This was a pretty good read. It was short but I did enjoy the idea of an estate holding paranormal secrets. Some of the parts felt a bit rushed event though their intent in building the plot was clear. I would have liked to see the events occur over along duration at the estate. I felt it developed too quickly in the timeline. I definitely would read other books by this author.

Kiss Me Before Flight by Thia Finn was such a detailed romance that I couldn’t put it down. This romance was filled with suspense, drama, angst, chemistry, and so much more that I just continues to flip page after page until I had no more to flip. The main characters are wonderful, and her word building skills made her plot and overall story line easy to follow. This story was so beautifully woven that I was pulled in from the very beginning and I never wanted it to end, I will definitely be looking for more by Ms. Finn.

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly is probably one of the sweetest contemporary reads that I have read in a long time. Not only did Ms. Mannersly impress me with her characters, word building, and plot but I loved that it was based around turtle conservation. Personally if all of her characters are like the ones in this book then I definitely look forward to reading more from Ms. Mannersly. With an amazing love story, a passion for saving animals and so much more how could you not love this book? So if your looking for a short contemporary romance this weekend I highly recommend A Natural Passion.

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I devoured this book! I couldn’t get enough of the story line and really connected with the main character. When Princess Rowan and her cousin Davin make the poor choice of buying bootleg vodka from a kingdom they are not supposed to be in, they are caught, drugged and facing death at the hands of their captors. When their captors, Clan Elk find out who they have captured, they realize they must call a Summit to decide what must be done with her.

It quickly becomes apparent that Rowan does not fit into her new surroundings here in Socarian. Women in this kingdom are expected to be demure and defer to the men. Rowan is outspoken, mischievous and even her fiery hair can not be understated. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions that will keep you on the edge of your seat and I loved every second of it.

For a short read this book had a really great story jam packed into it. The authors writing style really flows well. As someone who believes in conservation efforts I really appreciated the efforts of the characters in this story. The push and pull between characters really makes this story stand out as a full length novel would in terms of story and character development. For a novella I actually really enjoyed all the drama, emotion, action and the little mystery. Definitely a story worth the read.

Tammy Mannersly is a good author. She has mastered the art of storytelling. Her details allow me to picture in my mind what is happening in the story. Her characters are fully developed and full of life. In this story, Dylan O’ Day is a Marine Biologist and Kyra Stone is the new intern. Dylan is having feelings for Kyra but she has feelings for other co-workers. To make the story more interesting, there are poachers who bring danger and drama to the story. I highly recommend reading this short story to see if Dylan and Kyra get together and what happens to the poachers.

This is a young adult story that I fully enjoyed. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. They are connectable and give life to the story. This is a story that is written with a lot of heart and you can feel it on each page you read. This is a fast paced story that I would recommend for any young adult. This is a story about Emme and her insecurities about relationships. Will she get over these insecurities in order to have a relationship with Brendon? Brendon is a boy that everyone wants to be with and has an ex that is determined to get him back. What happens with these two I highly suggest reading this book to find out. They are great characters and I enjoyed their growth together. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Another enjoyable and engaging short and sweet contemporary romance novella. Kyra Shine has been interning for a few months at the Merchant Marine Science Centre and already has a crush on bad boy and ladies man Jake. Meanwhile her older and trusted mentor Dylan O’Day seems to be very overprotective of Kyra and does not think much of Jake, but Kyra thinks he’s misinformed, after all they share a love of conservation and nature especially the ocean. Dylan has been an exemplary and devoted marine biologist for years but since Kyra joined the team he has been distracted. He wants to tell her how he feels but being older and her mentor he understands the ethical issues involved. Before he can act however, they discover that the endangered turtles nests which they have been watching over along the coast have been raided overnight.
The Science Centre team goes on high alert but following a dangerous encounter with the illegal poachers the team fight to save the turtles before another nest is ransacked. As Dylan decides whether to tell Kyra how he feels, Kyra is finding out that maybe Jake is not as perfect as he seems and that in fact she has more in common with her mentor. This is a heartwarming, sweet romance with a love triangle theme. The storyline has enough action in the plot along with a bit of mystery that I was kept happily turning the pages. The characters are all relatable and realistic and Kyra is especially likeable, I enjoyed seeing how her relationships changed and developed between her and the two men in her life. Set in Australia along the beautiful coast the author made the setting come alive and I could almost feel the sun.

I really enjoyed the scenes where they traveled the passageways. It was very reminiscent of National Treasure or Robert Langdon in the Dan Brown books. I would like to see how this story progresses in the series and would read more by this author.

Stormwood: A Haunting Paranormal Tale by Luna Mayfield is a well written and intriguing paranormal story. This is a new author to me so didn’t know what to expect when going into the book. The description gave me a creepy vibe about it – I could picture this being any one of the scary films I have watched – and I couldn’t wait to start it.
I think the author has done a great job of creating that same on edge feeling with this book as you get when you watch something of the same genre. I was engrossed in what was happening and wanted to see how it was all going to play out. This is a great way to have discovered a new author and I am excited to read more.

I love love LOVED how their relationship in the beginning was burning but they also had a slight dislike for each other. Maybe its the enemy to lovers that I love but regardless, I think tis a great start to the series and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never hidden nor denied the fact that my heart and soul belong in the countryside. I was born and raised in the ‘county’ and wouldn’t have it any other way. I have spent my fair share of living in cities, but it’s never really felt like home. This novel really revolves around the mixed feelings that Stella feels when it comes to moving from her big home city of Austin, to a small little Podunk town of Asheville. Not only is she leaving the hustle and bustle, but also her cousins, which she describes are more like sisters in every capacity. I truly enjoyed getting to know Stella, as well as understanding her bond with her cousins Audrey, and Tiffany. Katrina Marie does an amazing job at incorporating the importance of girlfriends, as well as being able to own the independence that lays beneath the surface.

Now, Johnny, on the other hand, sounds like my type of man! The perfect gentleman, but has that alpha side to him that just, for lack of a better description, makes me, and obviously Stella, swoon. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and being able to really picture the scene where the story is set, and the small town ‘family’ that Stella is welcomed into almost immediately. Of course, it’s not always super easy, and people have history, and past relationships, which Stella and Johnny navigate as best they can, especially within such a whirlwind romance. Overall, though predictable, while reading this novel, I had a smile on my face, enjoying all the emotions, and the experience itself. Looking forward to reading more by Ms. Marie!

I really loved this romance story. The author does an amazing job of mixing a romance and making it so funny at parts I actually laughed out loud. The author does a great job with her characters. I love Lucie. She is a funny straight talking woman and it’s her personality and attitude which adds the comedy to this book.

The story of Max and Lucie working together to find a key in a fan to save Max’s Royal family is a unique story. The attraction between them is immediate but with Max’s secret about being a prince and the job they have actually hired Lucie to do, could their relationship survive.
Will Lucie carry on with this job and not realise her real purpose or will she figure out that Max and his family are just using her in their quest to find a key.

Stella is a straight up city girl. She really wants this promotion, so she takes her bosses offer to prove herself but must move to the country. Sounds simple – or so she thought. She cannot really stand being in the country, but the only shining light in this fiasco is Johnny – the mechanic who helped her when she first arrived. Johnny takes a liking to Stella right away. This was a good read. I enjoyed the city to country transition a lot.

Gone Country is the first book in the Gone In Love series by Katrina Marie. This was the first time that I had read any of this author’s work but I can now add her to a list of authors that I’d definitely read again as I really enjoyed this book.
Gone Country is the story of city girl Stella who moves to the country temporarily for her job and Johnny, the country boy who comes to her rescue twice within the first 24 hours of her being in the country.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Johnny and Stella’s story. Two people who seem to be such opposites at the start soon realise that they have much more in common than you think.
I really liked reading about both of these characters. They are very well written and very believable and realistic and I was able to feel a connection with both of them.
Of course the path to true love never runs smoothly and Johnny’s ex girlfriend wants him back and will do everything possible to break Johnny and Stella up.
This is a really well written story. It flows well and kept me engaged from the very beginning right up to the very end.
