Can Dreams Come True? (Book One of the Cecily Taylor Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager was a really good read! I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t until about the halfway point that I really got into this book. It felt kind of drawn out in a way, but also very naive. Cecily seemed like such a pushover, and very docile I think is the word? I felt like she let things go too far with Zach while he pushed her for the same exact thing. It seemed very toxic to me, and I didn’t enjoy that relationship at all. However, once Cecily started kind of speaking and saying what she actually thought, she became much more likeable. Overall though this was a really good read and I would definitely recommend it as a coming of age story and I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Strings Attached: A Braebeach Rock Romance by Loriana Cappello. I just love a good sink into love story about second chances. From the first page I knew I’d love this story and I definitely was right. The characters are complex and truly engaging, they pulled me in so completely I definitely lost track of time lots of time during my reading. The storyline is well written and paced nicely. I won’t be forgetting these characters or all the feelings this author made me feel for a while. So excited to see what else this author has to offer. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Professor Valentine was a student – teacher short romance. I thought the book was ok but felt it was lacking something. Cassandra was a student and started to have feelings for a professor who was going thru a divorce and made her feelings known after embarrassing herself in his office. Diego keeps pushing Cassie away and even makes up lies to try to get her to move on so she doesn’t ruin her education. This was the first book I’ve read by this author.

I seriously can never get enough from this author or this series in general! Each book they have written I am Truly captivated and hooked. Each book in this series brings secrets and darkness of the character’s own to light, and I am hooked and mesmerized! It takes a skilled author to truly to achieve that again and again!
I love how each one of these books in the series that brings on two characters that are placed together due to unforeseen circumstances. I loved Luc and Summer so freaking much. They had that chemistry that you only dream about. Their ties together seemed like it was just random, but behind every thing that happens with this Mafia in Chicago, there are secrets or skeletons in the closet that always come to light…whether you like it or not. Summer quickly became a fan favorite for me. her intuition was always spot on, and how she saw the world compared to the females in other books was different and enlightening. I learned so much from the way she sees. The moments she and Luc spent together were amazing, the suspense was to die for as well. I freaking loved this one! Loved it so freaking much!
If you have not had the pleasure of reading this amazing author, I must say read books by them as of right this moment! If you have not read other books in this Mafia series, it is best to read from the 1st one to truly understand and get wrapped up in the affairs of the Mafia. This book alone is a must read, it was perfect in every which way, and I highly do recommend it! It is a must read! I am dead serious about that!
This is the first book in a new series of standalone novellas set in the fictionalised Kirk University. First year psychology student Cassie Rodriguez is at University to both work hard and party hard and definitely not to fall in love. However during her tutorials with Diego Valentine her seminar lecturer, the chemistry between them is hard to ignore. Cassie and Diego have to decide whether to act on their feelings, or keep their relationship a secret. This is an enjoyable and engaging forbidden love novella. A fairly quick read but one which took me on an emotional rollercoaster. I fell in love with both Cassie and Diego who were likeable and realistic characters. The chemistry between them really came across in the narrative and led to some steamy scenes. I look forward to reading future books in this series by Diana Vale.

I enjoyed this sweet romance story. This is a new author for me and I can’t wait to see what is next for her. This is a well developed story about Stone who is all of a sudden faced with real responsibility and Emmerslyn who is finally getting her practice started. What she didn’t expect was for him to walk into her life. Now he is faced with someone who needs him and someone who has his heart. What will fate have in store for them? They are really great characters that are relatable and made me feel as if I was right there with them. It was entertaining reading their story as well as a page turner. I highly recommend finding out what happens to these two by reading this book.

Hacker is the 2nd book in the Mercenaries Series by Nadine Travers. Although part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. When I read this book I didn’t realise that there had been a book before it and did not feel that I was missing any necessary information. Although having now read Hacker, I’d love to go back and read Renegade’s story. This is a really great, well written, free flowing book that keeps the reader engaged from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go until the end. The story is packed with content and will drag you through many emotions. Chris ‘Hacker’ Montgomery is unable to forget the girl he met 6 months ago who subsequently vanished so what happens when Marie appears and asks him to protect her and her sister from their mafia father? I thoroughly enjoyed Hacker and Marie’s story. They are both great characters that you can’t help but fall in love with and want them to have their well deserved HEA. This is not all flowers and romance, This book is packed with action, danger, intrigue and mystery. The romance part is just a nice added extra. If you like a mafia romance with a bit of a difference then this book is for you. I really can’t wait to read more from this series.

This book was different then any other rockstar romance I’ve read, it took a while to get into but after I was in I was COMMITTED! You won’t be disappointed in this book, it is refreshing that it didn’t end up following the typical small town boy and girl fall in love, boy gets famous and leaves and then years down the road he comes back to realize he’s made a mistake. No In this book they’ve known each other for most of their lives but never acted on their feelings until it’s time for Ash to follow his dreams of becoming famous. Her plan is to go to university and figure it out from there. Will their paths collide or are they over? Read the book to find out!!

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University Book 1) written by Diana Vale is a quick read that I really enjoyed it.

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University #1) by Diana Vale
This is the first book by Vale I’ve read but it won’t be my last. Vale knows what she’s doing and keeps readers interested in the book. Professor Valentine is a great start to a new series.
Cassie is a freshman at Kirk University and is trying to accomplish her dreams. She wants to work in child psychology and is working her way to it. Her Professor is not the old type, but younger and hot. The quote I chose for Cassie is: “Nah, I’m still recovering from last night.”
Diego Valentine is the youngest professor to date and he is hot. When one student catches his eye things change. He does what isn’t allowed and loves every moment of it. Cassie is the best student and a great person. The quote I chose for Diego is: “Don’t mention it. The staff do have cleaners. I just told them that one of my students was a little sick. Don’t worry, I didn’t say who.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Diego Valentine is a Professor at Kirk University, he teaches Psychology and his students really enjoy his classes, plus he is easy on the eye which is a bonus. Cassie Rodriguez is a first year under-graduate studying Psychology at Kirk University, but she is all about studying hard, but she does enjoy playing hard too and being a fresher, that is an easy thing to do, but between the two, she has no time for romance or relationships.
So she can really get to grips with the seminar materials for child psychology Cassie signs up for some extra tutorials with Professor Valentine, but when she rolls in late for her first one still a bit worse for wear and looking it too and the complete opposite of the gorgeous man sitting opposite her, who insists she calls him Diego and not sir, she ends up embarrassing herself by throwing up in his office,]. Cassie is utterly mortified, but he is understanding and also trying to suppress laughter at the same time, but he promises not to tell anyone about what happened, but she decides that when she next sees him, she is going to look better and prove that she isn’t just what her first impression showed. The next day she intends to go and see him before lectures, but instead runs into friends from her class and ends up spending most of the day with them, however, as luck might have it, when they go for coffee later on, Diego is there as well, so they end up chatting for a little but and agree that she should book another session on the University portal and he gives her a hint when his next free one is with a wink.
As time goes on and Cassie continues in her studies and tutorial meetings with Diego, she keeps making an effort and finds that they spend as much time talking as they do going over notes, but when their attraction raises its head, she realises that it is mutual, but because they are a student and teacher, Diego tries to stay professional, but finds that it is becoming harder to do.
Will they be able to keep their relationship professional, or will their secret be revealed to the rest of the world? This is a short tale of romance which deals with secrets, revelations and forbidden love which sweeps you along for the ride.

This novella starts out like other rom coms, describing the scene of Cassie, an 18-year-old, who has always worked hard and never let herself have any extra fun if it interrupted with her studies. This all changes when she attends Kirk where she falls in love with Diego. Not only is he older than her but he is also her teacher. Due to the nature of the novella a lot happens in a very short period, so the novel goes from slow moving for the first few pages to action packed until the end of the book. Things move at a very fast pace which makes for an enjoyable read for someone who wants to know the ending quickly.

This is the 4th book in the Chase Security Series. And this book is just as gripped as the others. The author does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and with the mixture of romance and danger they make for a compelling read.

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine is a well written historical romance that completely drew me in. I loved the characters in this book and the romance that builds between them. The way it comes about is so heartwarming and really made me connect with the two of them. You could feel the chemistry from the moment you started reading. The book felt accurate for the time period it was written in and I liked that it was set in Austria. Most books in this genre I have read are set in England so this was a refreshing change. This is a new author to me and I enjoyed how she approached the book. The writing style had a great flow about it and she did a great job of building up the story and the characters. I really enjoyed this book and I will certainly be looking to read more from her in the future.

Chris had thought all his dreams had come true, he had a sexy woman in his bed and although they had only just met he felt something between them but in the morning she was gone. Can he carry on with his life not knowing if that could have been something?
Chris has spent most of his professional career behind the keyboard and has got the nickname “Hacker”, but on a night out all that changes when he meets Maria. They end up in bed together and he feels like his world is finally complete until the morning light brings the foreboding realisation, she is gone with no way of contacting her.
After six months of searching everywhere she is a ghost and when he feels he needs to give up the ghost she comes crashing into his life with one scared phone call and then shit gets real.
Maria is brave and strong but her family is slowly chipping down the resistance she has built up, but one action will rock the world she lived in or survived in and she wants out. The only person she can think to help her walk out on him six months ago will be the man she hopes he is and helps her leave the world she hates but she needs to protect her sister as well, will he help them both?
OMG is all I am saying at the moment, let me breathe. I loved this story if you have not already realised, the characters were brilliant both flawed but still had love to give in their hearts. The relationship between Chris and Maria was brilliant, the initial reaction was pure lust but as they got to know each other and their relationship built up you got to see the smouldering passion and love building was just brilliant to read.
This is a well-developed story full of action and grit to get your teeth into. I loved that the rest of the secondary characters were invested within the mission and that their loyalty to each shone through within the writing. Whenever there is a strong leading woman sometimes the author goes overboard with the hung go attitude but I felt that the character of Maria had just the right amount of vulnerability to make her believable and someone you wanted to route for. As this is my first book by this author this book can be read as a stand alone but I am definitely going to read the first book in this series and can’t wait for more books to come out in this series. Thank you for inviting me into your wonderful world and may it continue.

When I was younger, I used to love the whole student-teacher romance thing. Thought it was really hot and taboo (which made it hotter) and of course, and I couldn’t get enough of them. Back then, of course, I wasn’t married to a teacher. For some reason, this little fact has changed the way I see these books, or at least this one because I’ll admit I haven’t read one in a while, and instead of hot sexiness I was cringing something fierce. I will admit though that, as student-teacher romances go, this is written really well and packs a small punch in the short space it’s given. It could have been a little longer in my opinion, simply so that the characters could be explored a little more, and their interactions could have had more space to breathe. At times I felt that their relationship was rushed, and while Cassie was all up for it, I thought that Vale could have made more of Diego’s reluctance and caution. So, Cassie is a student studying psychology at University. There she meets none other than Diego, the unbelievably sexy, recently divorced lecturer who is attracted to Cassie against his better judgment. They do have chemistry, it is evident from the get-go, my only issue is that you don’t really get to know why. I know that sounds daft, but given the shortness of the story, you don’t really get a chance to explore that and understand why out of all the students Diego would have seen and come across, Cassie is different. Honestly, though I feel like I can’t judge appropriately anymore because this genre has been ruined for me a little bit, all I found myself doing was scoffing at Diego’s unprofessionalism which might get some people going, but it doesn’t really light my fire if you know what I mean. I just kept screaming at Diego that he was the adult in the scenario and should act accordingly, which I don’t think is what Vale had in mind when she wrote this. This is written from Cassie’s perspective and I think Vale gets the character spot on. There is an innocence to her and a vulnerability which I think is perfectly written, for both her age and situation. It’s a shame that younger me couldn’t have found this because I probably would have adored it and spent my time fantasizing about my own Diego. Anyone that loves the taboo romances that are steamy and sizzling with sexual tension, then this is for you.

I really enjoyed this sweet romance between a professor and his student. The characters were so well written you feel every emotion they go through and for a short book it contains so much emotion its a really great read.
Cassie is an amazing student. Only ever focused on her studies she doesn’t have time for dating and doesn’t believe in love. That is until she falls for her psychology professor and her whole world turns upside down.
Are their feelings for each other true? Can they be together with everything that’s against them? And will they be brave enough to take the chance or will one of them end up heartbroken.

No matter where she goes, USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Lynn Barrett hears voices in her head. Instead of calling her crazy and locking her up, her family realizes it’s just a product of being an author and allows her to write the stories so that the voices shut up.
But they don’t. And probably never will. There’s no need to lock her up, Nikki knows she’ll never escape the voices, not until each and every last story is written. And for every story she writes, about ten or more ideas pop up.
When she isn’t slaving away at her computer writing books that will probably make you cry and keep you in suspense, Nikki plots to take over the world one book at a time. What? It’s a sickness. One she can’t escape!
Books aren’t her only addiction, though. Nikki can be found making up parodies to drive her son crazy, and bantering back and forth with her husband, who somehow manages to steal her away from the fictional world she lives in all the time.
Nikki lives in Arizona with her husband and son, where she can be found using every creativity outlet she can find through music, photography, handcrafted things, and random interests that she may pick up from time to time.
Who the hell has the guts and nerve to stalk the enforcer of the Satan’s Devil’s MC?
The cops? Maybe. A club enemy? More likely. A scorned woman? No, they know the score, one memorable night, that’s all they’ll ever get. It must be someone crazy.
Who would dare cross me? I was born into the club, my dad, Peg, was the previous sergeant-at-arms. I’m not weak, though constantly watching over my shoulder is unsettling, even for me.
Who is it, and what do they want to achieve?
At first it’s innocuous enough, gifts from an unknown admirer, a car following me, but never getting close. Phone calls with nobody speaking. Then it takes a turn for the worst.
Before I can discover who it is, my world implodes. I don’t want to be a husband. I don’t want a woman of my own. I have years before I even think of settling down.
Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?
There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.
Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

Telling stories is second natural to her, from a young age she has told anyone who would listen what she had thought up. Now, a mom of two, she splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her beloved Bighorn Mountains.

Oh the sarcastic remarks and romance in this book made for a great read! Dre has so much fire in her! Its great to read a story about someone knowing what they need and want even if its hard to admit. Going on the journey with Dre to see if forgiveness is even possible made me read late into the night. Will her and Erick be able to find peace after all they’ve been through? This is definitely a great read!

I was pulled in right from the beginning. While performing at the beach, Ashton comes face-to-face with a woman from his past. A woman that had his heart and broke it. He helps her after she is injured and misses an important meeting.
He is dealing with a big decision about his music career and his education. Calla is back for the summer and when attraction ignites between them they decide to have a “summer fling”.
Can they keep their hearts out of it?
I really liked the characters. Getting to read their second chance at something special was great. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This was my first read from this author, I look forward to reading more from her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Travers’s writing. I’ve read works from this author previously and always find myself completely transported into the world that unfolds in my mind. This book was a fantastic blend of chemistry and action and suspense. Loved every page and am hoping for more in the series.
I am a sucker for a second chance romance and was eager to pick this one up and dive into the pages. This book was a quick read for me and one that felt like it could have easily been bigger. I fell into it easily, connected with the characters quickly, and was rooting hard for the HEA I just knew had to happen. Really enjoyed this and look forward to reading more from this author.

This book was a short read. The story picks up very quickly and at times like an roller coaster ride with some high intensity. I believe the story was perfect length (novella) and some parts were a little predictable. I really liked Diego Valentine’s character, he pulled at my heart strings with is story. Overall a short, good read about a forbidden relationship debut by this author :).

Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University Series Book 1) by Diana Vale is a story about passionate forbidden love. I loved the story line and the characters.
Cassie Rodriguez is a Kirk University first-year psychology undergraduate. She hasn’t spoken about love in a long time. She knows now isn’t the time to get trapped in a relationship, so she’s determined to work and play hard.Cassie’s feelings for her beautiful seminar instructor, Diego Valentine, go beyond platonic student-teacher relationships during tutorials. She knows he feels the same way, and their fiery chemistry is difficult to ignore.
This is the first book of Kirk University and honestly can’t wait to read the other ones. Every page was exciting.

Best Of My Love (Love in Emerald Creek) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Krista Vaughan
Dre certainly has no reason to return to her childhood home. Loyalty to her best friend is the only thing that could do it. The problem is that the main thing that kept her away is still there, too. Imagine being faced with the one man that you ever let close who screwed up your lives so drastically that you left. Would you still love him? Does Dre? This is a fantastic story about a beautiful but broken main character and the bravery she finds to face what broke her.

I enjoyed this heartwarming second chance at love romance story which had me happily turning the pages. Dre returns to her hometown, Emerald Creek having left after the man she thought she would marry, Erick, broke her heart. Having returned she is reminded of all the good things about spending summer in Emerald Creek but she’s not too happy to see Erick again. Erick knows that he made the biggest mistake of his life which resulted in him loosing the love of his life, Dre. Erick thought he was doing the right thing and is a great Dad to his little girl but now divorced he sees Dre’s reappearance in his life as a second chance. He has a summer to reclaim the only woman he’s ever loved and to rekindle Dre’s love for him. I felt fully engaged in the storyline and fell in love with the characters. The chemistry between Dre and Erick really came across in the story, as did the tension between them, especially when they first meet up again. The authors descriptive narrative bought both the setting of Emerald Creek and the characters to life for me which made me feel immersed in the story. The plot had me hooked from start to finish and the story flowed well and it took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. This is a newly edited and updated version of the novel for 2021, and I recommend this entertaining read.
