Well, this was an expected romantic treat. I thought Claire was just another spoiled celebrity when I started this. It turns out that there is fa more to her than people give her credit for, even her family. She has multiple degrees and is a pretty smart cookie. One night at dinner with Candie, she meets Nick. He’s cute, also a smarty guy. He’s very creative and an artist. These two are from two different sides of the track. Watching this develop was painful at times but necessary to the story. It kind of felt like “don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” I enjoyed the story because you did get to see them grow up and mature into what they wanted, forget the paparazzi.. I felt the characters were fairly well-developed. The storyline was good.
This is a fascinating start to this series. We are always hearing about climate change, saving the earth, etc. I loved how this story took the theme and ran with it from the point of the earth talking through special people telling how to save her. This is a story that will grab you. It has some SciFi, some romance, some suspense. I found it kind of exciting all around. I couldn’t put it down. I’m excited to see that there are more to the series. I have to see where this goes.

5 Stars Arriving Home (Lake Juniper Series) by Chelsea Lauren
Arriving Home is part of the Lake Juniper Series and is a wonderfully written MMF Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. There are trigger warnings but if you can push through its worth trying. This is a fast-paced story about Elijah and Austin. Both have secrets and pasts that make it hard to find love. What a sweet holiday romance that I can totally picture being a beautiful Christmas movie. The characters are relatable, fully developed and make the story come to life. Austin is a Chef at the resort and Elijah is a best selling Romance author who is in a six month writers block. With the advice from his therapist he finds himself at a writers retreat hoping this will help get him out of his slump. Austin and Elijah have been through a lot in there past but can they learn to trust one another? These two definitely have chemistry and there’s definitely a few sizzling scenes. These two definitely pulled at my heart strings a few times I found myself tearing up but I pushed through. What will happen when Austin suggests being a fake boyfriend for the Holidays? Can Elijah find the inspiration he needs to vet over his slump? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Bookbub – Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott
He’s the last person she’d turn to. He’s her best bet to keep her and her daughter alive.
Most authors would kill to be invited to do a private book signing for the woman who could be the next first lady. Regan Christenson isn’t one of them. But someone is willing to do whatever it takes to make her accept. There’s only one person she can turn to—Pavlo Barislov. Her book tour partner and former Navy SEAL is also the only person who annoys her more than an empty toilet paper roll.
If he’d had a choice, Pavlo would rather eat MREs for a year than spend five minutes with the fiercely independent Regan. He likes to keep his relationship with Shadow Defense Security low key, but when Regan and her daughter are threatened, Pavlo can’t turn a blind eye. As the danger intensifies, so does his unexplainable attraction to the irritating woman.
As things heat up, Pavlo and Regan are thrust into an unexpected minefield of treachery and deceit. One Pavlo may not be able to pull them out of alive.
Discover the heart-pounding excitement of Shadowed Agenda, the second installment in the romantic suspense thriller series Shadow Defense Security. If you like a slow-burn, high-stakes read, you’ll love Mavery Ellscott’s twisty page turner.
Each book in the Shadow Defense Security series can be read as a standalone. No cliffhangers and an HEA is guaranteed.
Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.
A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.
Orenda is a First Nations Iroquois belief that all natural objects and people possess a mystical energy. It is the force that allows us to effect change in the world and manifest transformation.
In this gripping sequel to The 45th Parallel, Caitlin and her husband Gio travel to Canada to take on new roles as ambassadors for the ACC. Inclusive, intelligent, and aware, Caitlin proves herself a natural leader. Respected by her people, she endeavors to bridge the gap between the communities, offering them new opportunities that will benefit generations to come.
But as Caitlin and Gio build their new family, an old enemy resurfaces, threatening their newfound security. Loyalties are challenged, betrayal leads to unspeakable tragedy, and the ultimate act of revenge forces Caitlin to draw on her orenda before it threatens to destroy them both.

This was a quick romantic read but carried a big story line. Jake and Lauren dated in college but a misunderstanding that changed their lives broke them apart. These two found coincidentally run into each other because they are working the same case. Lauren is a social worker and Jake works for the law. They work together to try to make the best Christmas they can for the twins that are in Lauren’s care while their mother heals from her injuries.

Tanjie is a witch. Alaric is a wolf shifter. They are not supposed to like one another. Instead they are to be mortal enemies yet a connection between the two will cause a bit of an uproar.
Tanjie has lost her parents, a beloved elderly friend and has stayed away from some of the suggestions her family provided which she considered to be hippyish. She doesn’t fully understand her destiny as a witch. She inherits a bookstore, learns about her coven and finally starts to learn about witchcraft. It’s a slow process and she doesn’t know if it will be enough or in enough time.
Alaric is up for the next alpha and enjoys the wolf life. He’s drawn to Tanjie but knows disclosing this to his pack would be devastating.
This story is a great beginning to this series and created such a neat world with wonderful characters. The ending will get you and make you wonder what’s next. I highly recommend reading this incredible paranormal story.

I love a good small town Christmas story and this is definitely one. It takes place in a small coastal town during the holiday season and it is an absolutely cozy read. One that would be absolutely perfect being read by the twinkle of the Christmas Tree. This story is set in Christmas Cove which is a small town that lives up to its name. As it is where America (our main character) rediscovers the magic of Christmas. It isn’t discovered on her own though – it takes the charm of the small town and all of its citizens to help her find her way back. Sarah Dressler does a fantastic job creating the character of America as someone who is flawed yet isn’t too far gone. However, she does an equally fantastic job in describing and creating the charm of Christmas Cove. There were so many times where her descriptions made me feel like I was right there on those snow covered streets. This is absolutely a fantastic read that I highly recommend this holiday season.

I absolutely love a well written sports romance. So when I saw that Tam Derudder Jackson was coming out with a new series, I was so excited. Every book that I have ever read by Tam Derudder Jackson has featured fantastic characters with a plot that makes the book go so quickly. This book delivers on all my expectations. Callahan and Jamaica are wonderful characters and their story is one that is definitely worth a read. I definitely recommend reading this and I am definitely anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

Jamaica is on scholarship and needs to pass this English class. Getting paired up with the football player is not ideal. But, since athletes aren’t her type…she doesn’t have anything to worry about, right?
Callahan locks eyes with Jamaica on the first day of English class and he is hooked. As they spend time together for their project, he enjoys getting under her skin. Can he get past the walls that she keeps putting up?
The banter and chemistry between these two was fun to read. Both of them are driven to do well in school (despite Jamaica’s continual belief of him being a dumb jock when they first get paired up). Callahan’s persistence to show that he is worthy of her time was entertaining to read. There were many layers to the story that I think the author did a great job of intertwining. The humor and angst had me turning the pages til the end.

Christmas Cove by Sarah Dressler. This is the perfect little book to get you in the Christmas spirit. Its the story of America Greene who is a big city girl and she loves her job as editor. When she is sent to Christmas Cove on assignment and she expects to be drowning in Christmas cheer but what she finds is no Christmas Cheer. When Leo, the town mayor,convinces her to stay the instantly fall head over heels in love. (It is a little Hallmark movie like). While they plan to turn Christmas Cove into a real Christmas mecca she also plans to write the best piece her employer has ever seen so that her writing career can take off. I’m not a huge romance reader but his sweet book made me love the town of Christmas Cove and its people. I felt like I lived there. This book will be a good read to get you in the Holiday mood and even gives a little sizzle with the characters chemistry!

This is the first book that I have read of C.A Miconi and it certainly won’t be my last. It is always great to add a new Author to my list ❤️
Be True to Me is the 3rd novel in the “Be with me” series. I read this novel as a stand alone novel and although I will go back and read the first 2 books in the series it did not contain any spoilers to those books and was a lovely sweet romance novel about the reconnection of college sweetheart Lauren and Jake. A chance meeting via their work roles and a pair of adorable twins who needed some love and affection over the holiday season whilst their mum recovered in hospital from an act of domestic violence.
I really enjoyed this novel and how it played out and I am sure that you will also – especially if you are a sucker for a happily ever after like I am ❤️

Quite a different genre type read for me. I’ve watched a handful of Western movies but not my usual cup of tea. I decided to give this read a try. This was filled with such imagery of the Western vibe as well with romance and thrill in the story line. Lots of details given of the characters along the way but it all wraps into the story as it continues along. Story set in the 1880s in the Arizona Territory, the readers get to know of Feinmore as he grows and emerges into his own thought process. Moments of gangs, murder, mayhem, and coming of age as Feinmore discovers more about himself. For those readers who enjoy thrills and Westerns, this would be a great selection!

Christmas Cove was a really sweet Christmastime read and one that I really enjoyed. The characters America and Leo were such lovely people and I really took them both to my heart – I thought that they were both likeable and relatable. Alongside the main characters were some really fun and entertaining secondary characters who really added something extra to the story. The story definitely made me think of a Christmas movie and I love that it had that feel. Overall I really loved this book, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and definitely got me in the Christmas mood! I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I could not stop reading this book for nothing! As soon as I got the notification that this book was out, I immediately stopped what I was doing to read it. This was the best book in the series by far. It didnt even feel like I was reading, it felt as though I was in the action right there with the characters! The suspense and the ending was not one that I saw coming. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

This is the first book that I have read from an author and she now has a new fan. This is a book from the series Lake Juniper. I have not read a male/ male romance in a long time but I’m so glad I picked this one up. I could not help but to fall in love with both of these characters. They both had some problems to work through but with the right person nothing is impossible. I read this book in one sitting and I can’t wait to read the next book of this series.
Elijah is a best sleeping author but he is now in a stump. He sees a writing workshop is available and he decides to go. Elijah meets a lot of romance writers and he feels like he doesn’t belong there. He is about to go but he meets a very handsome chef : Austin. They get to know each other and Austin has an idea to become a fake boyfriend for the holidays. Elijah thinks this is a great idea so he can get some inspiration for his new book. When they go to his family’s house for the holidays things start to heat up. Will Elijah get what wants for his new book or will get something he has never expected to see again, love?

Air Force fighter pilot Ted Barrett and his golden retriever Ace, are spending the holidays in the Pocono Mountains, setting up his new house. He meets Marcie and they start dating, but he has to fly to Montana for his brother Jack’s wedding. When Marcie stops answering Ted’s messages, he’s confused because in her last message she’d said she couldn’t wait to see him.
She can’t answer because she’s been taken.
Ted returns home and realizes what’s happened, but is it in time to save her? Ted will not rest until he finds her. Ginger attacks the elf and when Ted takes it from her they find their first clue to what happened to Marcie.
It is always a pleasure to read books by Sylvia Black. Especially this series. I’m telling you her storytelling is top notch with such a unique take on things.and Omg!!!! I was so looking forward to reading this one, after the last one I couldn’t wait for this release date! I know I said this before but I think Master Sardinia book is my new favorite book in the series 🤣🥰 just like the previous ones they are Spectacular, Super intense Vampire mafia romance that leaves you wanting more and more. With fated mates,enemies that turn to lovers, crazy danger, really steamy chemistry between Master Sardinia and Madria and Soo much more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading not just this but the last 7. You’ll be in love with author 🥰 I can not wait until January, so I can get my hands on the next books.

Each book in this series just gets better and better! I devoured this in one sitting because I couldn’t get enough and needed to see what was going to happen between Forrest and Kiera. There is much drama, danger, suspense, action, and spice! I appreciate the fact that the author does not rely on the steamy scenes to make the bulk of the book. The sensuality of Keira and Forrest’s relationship adds dimension to an already amazing storyline. You could read this as a standalone if you wanted, but getting the full background is always the best so I recommend starting at the beginning of the series!

I really enjoyed this deliciously slow burn! I’ve read a few books by this author and they’re all fantastic. From the very beginning I was very invested in the characters and what would happen. This author has a way of drawing you into their world slowly until you’re fully immersed. I read this in one sitting and was very excited to jump straight into the next book. It can feel a bit slow in the beginning, but I promise it picks up and you won’t want to miss what happens! I highly recommend picking this book up and getting lost in the world of Remi and Audri.
