My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Walls Between Us by Kate McGahan a far-away four-star read. This was my first by this author, and I don’t know if it would be my last, I enjoyed the writing and most of the characters, but some left me cold. I don’t know if it was just that there was so much going on that I missed something important, but I did feel like I was wondering a lot about why, I will likely read this one again and see if I figure it out as I know reading some of the other reviews it seems like a great story. It could be that I am losing something in translation as I’m not a native as I live on an island, so the issues faced aren’t any that I come across. Don’t let my words put you off, if this sounds like an interesting story do pick it up as it is well written for the most, I do think it’s my situational knowledge that let me down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

When I first read the blurb for this story I was really intrigued, the author is new to me and whilst I will admit the cover isn’t one of the best I’ve seen I know not to take any notice of them and I am so glad I did. The story was beautifully written, the descriptive detail throughout was one of my favourite things about this book. I felt like I was really transported into the lives and worlds of these characters. The characters were well throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them. There was so much going on in the story that I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to see what was going to happen. Even after finishing the story I was still thinking about what I had read and in my opinions it means that it was a really great read! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this romance-suspense book. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up when I see one of her books. Her attention to details and her writing skills are great and her stories are always fun to read. This book is no different. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life. It is engaging and a page turner. The twists and turns left me turning pages fast just waiting to see what would happen next. This is Sam and Casey’s story. They both have a past, one has a really bad breakup and the other is hiding from a psychopath. Casey is a backup singer for a band and meets Sam when he fills in as drummer. Their relationship soon grew, loved their chemistry. What will happen when Casey’s past comes crashing into the present? What will fate have in store for them? I loved both of these characters. They made the story easy to read as well as made the story pop. This is one of my favorites by this author and I highly recommend it plus her other books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this steamy dark romance story. This author has continued to impress me with her attention to details and her writing skills. This is not my first book by this author but it ranks up there as one of my favorites. This is a well developed story that has characters that made the story pop off the pages. I found it to be engaging and fast paced. I read this story in one sitting as it is that awesome. I had no problem connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life for me. This is a story about Kristina and Trey. She has had a lot of trauma in her life and has been left scarred in many ways. Trey sees her as so much more than her past but has his own insecurities. What will fate have in store for these two? Will they find each other or will their insecurities be unfixable? This is a dark story that could cause some triggers but if you can get past that you will find a story you will love as much as I did. I highly recommend this book and this author.

5 stars!

Such a great read. The story was wonderful and had me hooked, and the characters were nicely written as well as likeable. I really liked Erica, she is strong, independent and just an all around awesome kind of girl. She has had her heart broken in the past so I understand her hesitance to get involved with anyone. I love Matthew. He is really into Erica from the moment they meet, it’s the old love at first sight thing. He will do anything to persuade Erica to give him a chance. His determination and love towards her really made me fall for him all that much more, and I think it is so sweet with just one small first kiss he is madly in love. I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow and the secret admirer twist was a nice touch, especially since it wasn’t an admirer for the person I thought it would be for. I highly recommend this book to any romance lover. I can’t wait to see what is next with this author.

I loved reading the book Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7) by Shandi Boyes. It is a story that pulls you in from the beginning and I was hooked. It is a dark story that includes danger and suspense. It is a book that has a dark atmosphere and had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the characters of Kristina Svoboda and Trey Corbyn. Kristina is a woman who for the last six years made to endure life in the sex-trafficking industry. She is intelligent, stubborn, and has a will to survive. Trey is a man that when he looks at Kristina sees a woman who has survived. Although he is a broken man, he finds himself drawn to and possessive of Kristina. Can two people who are broken make each other whole again? Read this book to find out what happens to Trey and Kristina. This is a story that has heartbreaking moments. The treatment that Kristina makes made me feel both angry and sad for her. She is a character that I couldn’t help but have empathy for. This is a book that takes you on a journey into dark places and does have some scenes that may be hard to read about. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t be able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

One Hot Texas Summer (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge, #1)One Hot Texas Summer by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dating is tough sometimes

This is a romance about a couple of people who like each other but don’t seem to really want to. Some misconceptions due to rumors and people’s attitudes makes Kelly steer clear of Tate. It doesn’t help that Tate has been in her flower shop more than once a week buying bouquets of flowers. Kelly assumes it’s for a girl, little does she know that’s not why he is frequenting her shop, it’s actually to just make someone smile and feel happy.

The romance and trials that Kelly and Tate experience make you love the characters more. This book was easy to get into and reading it just made my heart melt. When you find the right one, it really is good to open up your heart and let them in. Loved it!!

One Hot Texas Summer (The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge Book 1) by Nicole Flockton

I am drawn to anything that takes place here in Texas period. So of course I had to read this book and I’m glad I did. I throughly enjoyed this book and already looking forward to the second book in this series.

Tate is definitely the type of man a Mama (this one included) wants her daughter to bring home. Well mannered, respectful. loves his family and willing to do anything for them even when it messes things up for him.

Kelly has most of her life in order. Successfully business and happy for the most part. She wants to find love but not willing to put herself out there after getting her heart broken.

Kelly and Tate just work well together as friends and more. They had a sweet chemistry that I enjoyed watching (reading) it develop. Can’t wait to catch up with them in the next book and to read about the next brother falling.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is told through two characters’ eyes and how different their opinions vary from life to politics. Circumstances allow both characters to see their situation at hand in different lights but I loved this book because all tied together from the characters to the scenes themselves. This allowed me to enjoy it that much more. The story itself is multifaceted in various ways that allow any and all readers to join in enjoying where the story takes them. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book as I find it educational from social, injustice and emotional facets but it all works out in the readers’ favor with the way it all makes a turn for the positive. One of the best educational and fascinating reads I’ve seen in a long time. Beautifully written by this great and compelling author.

One Hot Texas Summer (The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge Book 1) by Nicole Flockton. I was definitely excited to read this story. Sometimes what you need is a great romance story to sweep you away. Kelly and Tate did just that for me, from page one I knew I’d love these characters. They pulled me completely into their story world and I didn’t want to leave. They have a chemistry that leaps off the pages, they are also very Easy to connect with. The storyline is well thought out and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’ll be adding this one to my read again list for sure. I was happy to get lost in the pages with these wonderful characters and can’t wait to read more from this author. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was compelled to read this book because of my love for hockey and romance. Some girls dream of happily ever after, I prefer hat tricks and goalie masks. This is a well-written romance. The storyline is engaging. Isabella Cassazza did a great job with the details of hockey. Characters are well developed and loveable. This is Emilia and Matt’s story. Both of them lost souls looking for someone to find them. When Emilia was sent to Boston to manage the Ice Tigers, can she break away from her controlling Grandfather? She was to have one night of hockey which turned into a magical night. Matt is a struggling hockey player looking for the Cup win. Matt has been burned by people in the past/present. Will he be able to put things aside and start a relationship with the new manager of the Ice Tigers. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a hockey-romance lover like myself.

You ever want something you know you shouldn’t? Well that’s Kelly in this story. Shes attracted to Tate, the younger than her, handsome town player. Well that’s what the rumor is around town anyways. When they’re forced to work together for Founders Day, they realize they’re wrong in assuming and realize they cant deny the sparks that fly between them.
I really enjoyed this story. A woman who is independent but still wants a man to do the small acts of chivalry. A man with so much on his shoulders and doesn’t know how to say no or act when offered help and support.

These two were great and I can’t wait to read more in this series as these brothers are all so different.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you have been burnt in the past, can you trust your heart with someone else. Kelly needs to believe that love can happen and her fairytale can end with Tate or can it?

Kelly has had her heart broken and left the big city and returned to Sweet Ridge, there she has opened a florist a job she absolutely loves. Tate has had to take on the honour of running the Peach Farm when his dad has had a stroke but with the harvest approaching and his brother volunteering the farm for the Founder’s Day parade will he have time for all he needs to do.

Kelly and Tate need to work together for the parade but what is this chemistry between them and will they give in and both give love a chance, you will have to read the story to see what happens.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I loved the story and the characters. Kelly although comes across as a independent, sassy woman there is a real vulnerability that I think we all have to just be loved for who she is and is it wrong to dream for the white picket fence and 2.5 children. Tate’s character was an eye opener from the womaniser reputation to his really fragile relationship with his brothers, to the devotion he showed to his father who could not fall in love with man.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and wonder who is the next brother or character to find his way through this wonderful writing.

I found it very interesting to see the two main characters interacting with their extended families, this helped to give them depth and made them more realistic. Highly recommended!

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream is book 2 in the series. I did not read book 1 but, that didn’t really affect my review. However, I may have liked the book more if I read book 1! I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were likable which makes it that much easier to read and enjoy a book. This was a quick sweet read about the life of Becky and some love along the way. I really liked reading about Chance and Becky. Every good book has some suspense and some twists to keep you entertained. I found myself trying to put the book down but saying, one more chapter first. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this book.

Breaking Traditions: The Shifter And The MageBreaking Traditions: The Shifter And The Mage by Madilynn Dale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In short, this book is a traditional love story of young love which blossoms and meets the scorn of the elders which is told in a different way in a different world. Natalie is a shape shifter who can transform into a wolf. She belongs to a traditional family who want her to follow the traditions. She is engaged to another shapeshifter, Theo, who is now her ex.
Everything is in order according to Natalie’s parents. Their obedient daughter is bright, helps them in the bakery and is about to be engaged. They want nothing but a happy predictable future for her.
But Natalie’s fate is entwined with a Mage, Alex whom she meets in college. They both meet at a party and sparks fly between them. They are drawn towards each other much to the disdain of Natalie’s parents.
Will Natalie and Alex be able to break traditions for their love? Would they be able to mend the broken relationship with her parents?
This forms the crux of the story. In Eastern culture, we come across this saga a lot more. Breaking the barriers of the society demands a heavy sacrifice. I could relate to the struggle of Natalie and Alex quite easily.
It is a very easy read and keeps the reader engaged till the end. Hope to see more from this author.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and now I’m hooked. I absolutely love small town romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book in the Prentice brothers of Sweet Ridge series and what a perfect book to start this addictive series. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.

Kelly is in shock on who she has to work with, none other than the town player Tate Prentice. She is not going to fall for a play boy ever again. Kelly already had a cheater and she knows that Tate is cut from the same cloth or is he? She quickly realizes that Tate is not who she thought he was. Kelly is starting to fall for him but is he feeling the same? Will Kelly find the man she has been waiting for or will she find herself heart broken once again?

I enjoyed reading about Kelly and Tate. Kelly who was hurt in her last relationship has moved to the small town where her mom lives and opened a flower shop. She hasn’t opened herself up for a relationship since her last one ended badly but she has found herself thinking about Tate Prentice. Tate Prentice is taking care of his family’s peach farm and his father, and now he has just been told that his brother has offered up their farm to be a satellite location for the town’s annual festival. Kelly and Tate are told they will be working together and the chemistry between them is off the charts. Can Kelly overlook their age difference, and Tate’s reputation? Can Tate let someone in to help carry the burden? This story is sweet, romantic, emotional, and has wonderful characters. I recommend this book.

Some old fashioned gestures will never go out of style in this modern world. One Hot Texas Summer was a sweet love story that some men need to read to get some pointers. Tate Prentice and Kelly Turner have some serious chemistry that you can feel the tingles while reading their story.

This was my first book by Nicole Flockton and I fell in love with this family of friends. I had the feeling I was missing something in the first chapter but only because I wanted to know more about Charlotte and Macy (Sweet Texas Secrets Series). I can’t wait for more of the Prentice brothers.

I loved this heartwarming romantic story featuring florist Kelly Turner and Tate Prentice. Kelly is honoured to be asked to work on arranging the town’s Founders’ Day festival which will be held at the Prentice’s peach farm. This means that Kelly and Tate are working closely together but even though the mutual attraction is obvious, Kelly is less than impressed with Tate’s reputation as a ‘player’. Kelly has been burned before by a cheating boyfriend and so try’s to ignore the chemistry, which sizzles off the page, between them. Tate however is just concentrating on ensuring the survival of his family’s farm whilst his father recovers from a recent stroke. The longer the pair have to work alongside each other Tate hopes that Kelly will see that he is more than his reputation, but Kelly struggles to go with her instincts as she’s afraid of having her heart broken again. I loved the main characters, Kelly and Tate who were both relatable and likeable and enjoyed how their love/hate relationship developed. The secondary characters are also fascinating especially Tate’s brothers and I look forward to reading their stories in future books in Flockton’s series about the Prentice brothers. This was a feel good, light romantic story which is perfect for a summers day read.

Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers #2)Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Center of Gravity is the second book in Isabella Cassazza’s series Ice Tigers. The writer has said that you can read it as a standalone and I did read it without having read the first book. I love ice hockey series and I felt that I need a sweet ice hockey series and I am always open to new writers so I picked up a copy and I do not regret it all. I actually would say that read the first book of the series’ first as I kept wondering about the guys who were the main in the book one and also appeared in book two!
Center of Gravity is Emilia and Matt’s story and there was something very comforting about the story. I think it was Emilia who had not found her place in her grandfather’s high fashion world, the moments when she thought back on her life as a six year old girl and her finally finding her place and purpose and her … center of gravity that would be there for always and help her weather any storms … and then there was Matt, his successful macho hockey persona and his vulnerable betrayed by woman side and his taking a chance and finding his inner strength.
I actually really fell into this Ice Tigers universe in Boston with its colourful characters so I already downloaded the first of the series and I know I will be heading for the third book after I have finished with that!

Cute story. The flow was nice, the characters were likeable. Kelly did slightly get on my nerves sometimes but I loved the story regardless. Kelly owns a flower shop and Tate runs a peach farm. Both have to work together on a festival but before that Kelly assumes Tate is just a player, I don’t know why she made that assumption, maybe it was because he bought flowers once a week, but that doesn’t scream player to me. Tate falls for the 5 years older Kelly and tries to show her his true self. I understand why she would be wary of him due to her past boyfriend being a piece of poop, but sometimes you just have to go with your gut. I felt bad for Tate working the farm by himself and having to deal with his father’s condition. Their relationship is interesting to follow but the age difference being discussed constantly really drove me nuts.I really like that this was the first story starting with the youngest brother and I’m assuming there will be stories for Tyler and Trey and I can’t wait. I recommend it to any romance lover.

One Hot Texas Summer is the first novel in The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge series by Nicole Flockton. It is my first novel by Nicole Flockton and I really enjoyed it. It was a great mix of fun and flirty, but had some serious tones in it as well.

Kelly Turner is the local florist. She owns her own shop in town and her mom helps her run it. When her friend Macy is put in charge of the Founder’s Day Festival she ends up taking on a new role and partnered with the last person she expected.

Tate Prentice is the youngest Prentice brother, but currently the one with the most on his shoulders. Taking over his family’s peach farm, while his passion, is not an easy job! So when his brother volunteers his family’s property for the Founder’s Day Festival he is a bit frustrated.

Can Kelly and Tate work together? Will the small town gossip pull them part? Will the stress in each others lives prevent them from building anything real? Read One Hot Texas Summer to find out!

One Hot Texas Summer was a nice easy to read romance story. The characters were likeable, I especially liked Tate; there was just something about him that drew me to him straight away. Kelly was a nice enough character however I just didn’t feel that connection with her. I did really like her and Tate together though – they seemed to have a genuine attraction to each other. I really liked their outlooks on life, they were both really hard working and whilst Tate had a bit of a reputation I could genuinely feel that he liked Kelly and was trying to leave that behind.
The story was well written and it had a good pace and flow to it. It’s the perfect summer evening read that you just dip in and out of and immediately get back into the story. This is the first book in the Prentice Brothers series so I am really looking forward to getting to know these brothers more as the series continues!

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself not able to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a book that tells a beautiful tale of love, different cultures, and includes characters that the author makes come alive with each chapter that I read. It is the characters, the differences in their lives, and how they interact that makes this story so powerful and hard to forget. My emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading this book. There are heartbreaking and heartwarming moments as well. The story is thought-provoking and challenges you to look at the stereotypes that are common in the world today. I enjoyed reading about what each of the characters brought to the book and found myself thinking about this story even after I had finished reading it. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that will have you hooked from the beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawn to Him is a great romance story by Tammy Mannersly. I’m a total sucker for a great romance story and took a leap of faith in trying out a new author (for me) in Tammy Mannersly. I’m so glad that I took the leap as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
The two main characters Dr Matthew Garrick and Erica Townsend are both fantastic characters. Matthew is the hot new doctor in town and has set every woman’s heart aflutter. Erica is the local art teacher whose art classes grow in popularity when Matthew joins.
In addition to the 2 main characters there is an excellent secondary cast, in particular Matthew’s mate and fellow doctor Nate and Erica’s best friend Seeley. Both of these play much more than bit part roles and add a great deal to the story.
It was such a nice change to read a book that is set in Australia as most books I read are set in the USA, with a few set in the UK. It was a welcome change of scenery.
I loved the story line of this book. I was drawn into the story from the very beginning and was rooting for Erica and Matthew as they seemed perfect for each other. The author keeps you engaged throughout and you just want to keep reading to see how the story ends. I’d definitely recommend.

One Hot Texas Summer (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge, #1)One Hot Texas Summer by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a good story. I liked certain parts and others not so much. My main issue is the flow of the story. It seemed too stiff and maybe it was the tense it was written in. I just haven’t read it in a while. I feel there was also a bit too much description and not enough dialogue. That being said the story was interesting. I liked the female being a florist and the male dealing with his ill father, running the peach farm. They are different occupations that really could been expounded on. I enjoyed Kelly and Tate story. She seemed to have a few good friends to help move the story along.

I was looking forward to reading this as I have enjoyed this author’s other books. This just didn’t feel up to par. It’s a good idea.
