One Hot Texas Summer (A Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge Romance #1) by Nicole Flockton
This is the first book in A Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge Romance Series and I loved it. Nicole has a way of bringing these boys to life. I was transferred into the book.
Kelly Turner, running from love, finds it at herself. She is shying away from love, but wants it. She finds herself thinking of someone she shouldn’t be. What happens when they have to work together? The quote I choose for Kelly is: “When you lashed out you hurt me a lot, Tate. I didn’t want to be around you. Again the person I cared for treated me like a worthless possession. Like I didn’t deserve to be an important part of their life. Help you through dealing with whatever happened with your dad.”
Tate Prentice, the youngest of Prentice boys, is known as a playboy. He’s done a lot of growing up since the accident, but doesn’t let anyone know. When he finds himself having to work with Kelly Turner things change. The quote I choose for Tate is: “Kelly Turner, will you do me the honor of going steady with me for the rest of our lives?”
I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Nicole has really outdone herself. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for romance and witty.

Rebecca Steele Finding The Dream is the 2nd book in the Rebecca Steele Series by Joanne Patterson. I had not read the first book in this series, in fact, it’s the first time I had read anything by this author, but I was able to follow the story fine and didn’t feel that I was missing any relevant information. Rebecca, or Becky as she’s known is now making a name for herself in the country music scene and is enjoying life living and helping out on the ranch and her friendship with Chance is developing into something more. As always the path to true love never runs smoothly and Becky and Chance face a few bumps in the road, but that makes for a more enjoyable reading experience. It would be boring if everything was perfect. I loved both Becky and Chance’s characters. Becky is energetic and spirited but very loving and loyal to her friends and all who are close to her. Chance is a sweet, hardworking, cowboy who would do everything possible to make Becky happy. I did take a little bit to get really into this story but overall I did enjoy it very much. The overall storyline is good although in parts I did feel that it could have been more descriptive. The book is quite short and I think it could have been padded out a little more. Some events were over very quickly and could have been added to. Although short, I did enjoy what I read.

The characters that this author has created are real and loveable and I couldn’t wait to see there connection grow and develop as you could tell that the chemistry they would have would be undeniable. This read totally captivated from the beginning and had me turning the pages fast and never wanting this read to end.

This was a new experience for me reading Nicole Flockton, but I was anxious to find out what the book was all about after the bright and cheerful cover caught my attention. With the world today we live in today I am often finding myself drawn to the bright cheery things lately and this was just what the doctor ordered.
We get the story of Kelly and Tate in this novel, as well as an obvious set up for more books with side characters that play a role in this one as well. I am actually anxious now to get my hands on the next book and learn more about the Prentice brothers. This one however was Tate’s story. We find Kelly back at home in Sweet Ridge, Texas after a pretty brutal breakup. She is successful with her floral shop and is now roped into taking care of the local festival as well. There she meets Tate. These two have a special spark up front but both have struggles that will or do make a new relationship difficult. This was definitely a slow burn type read and things moved at a comfortable and believable pace. I enjoyed escaping to the idyllic town of Sweet Ridge as well and I am so excited to go back for book two.

I have really grown to like the works of Gaia B Amman, and when I saw this second book in the Antiheroes was available I knew I needed to check it out. The way that she approaches the sci-fi aspects make it seem realistic, as if I am transported into this very possible alternate world that could happen and feels so real. It makes me feel as if I have embarked on an adventure by the time I finish one of her novels. This one was no different.
We follow Tasha and Josh in this book, and boy do they have quite the adventure together. I won’t divulge details but I would read book one to get a feel for how things are going into this one. It is one that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out how these two will come out in the end. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next one and taking another reprieve into a new world and adventure.

This is a very descriptive book that grips you with the way Tasha dreams and in such detail. The way the author approaches the subjects of dreams and it’s so beautifully written by the author. You can’t help but want to save Tasha from the grips of these dreams and the bigot boss in them but there is a hold that won’t let loose. I loved that about this book because it’s so emotionally driven as well. These characters are lovable, their stories entwined is intense; such intensity that it seems scary, twisted but mysterious, original and entertaining. The truth is this is so much of a page turner and very easy to read.

Center of Gravityis the first book in the Ice Tigers series, and my first read by Isabella Cassazza. Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. But, having said that this story has intrigued me enough to want to go back and read the first book too, before continuing the series. This is a sweet contemporary sports romance about finding love unexpectedly- with a couple of surprises thrown in to keep things interesting. The characters were well developed and endearing- making for a realistic and believable read that you won’t want to put down. Emilia Ravelli has lived in her grandfather’s shadow for so many years trying to live up to his expectations and earn his respect. But no matter what she does, how much she sacrifices, nothing she does seems to please him. She feels like a failure. Keeping up appearances and shouldering all the expectation and responsibility is not only exhausting, but also a little lonely. So, when her latest project fails to live up to her grandfather’s exacting standards, again, Emilia is sent halfway across the world knowing that this new assignment will be her last chance to prove herself. She has a lot riding on its success. One small problem- the assignment means taking over the management of the Boston Ice Tigers hockey team, with no experience in sports management and no clue about hockey, Emilia really doesn’t like her chances of success- especially with the secret she’s carrying. Matt Walker has thrown himself into his hockey career, trying desperately to leave behind all his personal dramas. He is focused on winning and definitely has no time for distractions. So, what happens when the new team manager arrives and turns his life upside down? If you love sports romance, or romantic stories in general- then you really won’t want to miss grabbing a copy of this book to read, to uncover the secret and discover all the other captivating details for yourself.

Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza I five-star read that is smooth as ice. This is number two in the Ice Tigers Romance series but they can be read as stand-alone, I haven’t read number one and didn’t feel like I missed anything, that being said I will pop back and read number one as I loved this one and am hoping the rest of the series will be just as good. This has great pace and is a fantastic slow burn that will keep you on tenterhooks, the chemistry builds and builds to explosive proportions. The whole back and forth and the misconceptions will keep you hooked and have your heart in your throat one minute and your stomach the next. This is a great story and one I hope many will pick up.

One Hot Texas Summer (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge #1) by Nicole Flockton is a quick read and a good start to the series. I enjoyed the characters but at times I wanted to smack Tate because of frustration. The relationship is tense at times and I felt there could have been a bit more lightness and witty banter to loosen things up a bit and the age difference didn’t help. Having said all that, it is a sweet romance and the story came together nicely as trust and love came into the equation.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen was a great 5 star read. I was pulled right in by the author’s writing. The further I got into the story the quicker the pages were turning so I could see what was coming next.

It works out great for the two of them, however when one of his friends shows up things take an interesting twist. Will they be able to keep their friendship intact or will Simeon interfere?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. I really loved the characters, they added so much to the story. We get mystery, dark elements, surprises and so much more that will pull you right in. The two authors did such a great job writing this story, I would love to read more from them. If you’re looking for a great read, I highly recommend this one. 1-click and get started today.

Center Of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza was a wonderful read! This is the first novel I’ve read from this author, and and I’ve never read a book from the Ice Tigers Hockey series before, but this standalone was great, and I wasn’t confused in the least. Everything that needed to be explained got explained fairly quickly, and there was no confusion in past events. I was instantly enthralled in this entertaining romance novel the moment I started reading. It was touching, and fulfilling, and extremely satisfying to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream by Joanne Patterson is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series and my first book by this author. I am a sucker for a book that takes place in any part of my home state. That might have drawn me to the book but Joanne’s writing and great characters are what had me flipping the pages.
Great storyline, really like the little twist. As this is standalone, I can’t wait to go back and read the first book just to get to know Rebecca Steele a little better. Can’t wait to see what Rebecca’s next adventure going to be.

I give The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkryie & Rebecca E. McEwen, 5 stars.
If I could write a one word review it would be: WOW.
This book is just incredible. I didn’t really know where the book was going, but I loved the journey it took me on and was pleasantly surprised each time something unexpected happened. I loved Vashti. Simeon and Absalom are also very good characters and great additions. I found the story so compelling and could not put it down. I was eager to see what happened next, but I could not rush through the book. I devoured this book — something I have not done in a long time. The fact that the story is so different from most romantic fantasies made me love this book even more. I reall h tsee kore of this world in the future.
If you are a fan of dark romantic fantasies, this book is for you.

This was a great story about a woman who’s loss of her partner ruled her life. Vashti’s life seems to be on hold since her partner Anton has passed but that all changed when she met Absalom.
Absalom is in college and falls on hard times when his girlfriend kicks him out. To help him Vashti offers him a place to stay but with certain conditions.
When his friend Simeon finds himself also homeless his friend offers him a home but could this be one person to many. Can Vashti’s secret remain secret or will one of her lodgers let it sleep.
This was a gripping story with a huge twist at the end that I didn’t see coming.

The Widow was a surprising book for me, but a very good surprise. I always love it when an author, or in this case authors, manages to take me by surprise.
Vashti lost her husband a year ago and is still carrying the weight of his death. She feels trapped and alone, but one day forces herself to make a change. She leaves her home to venture into the nearby town, and that’s where the story really begins. Vashti meets Absalom when he rescues her from a run in with an angry man she accidentally knocks into. In turn Vashti rescues Absalom too, he ends up staying with her when things in his life change and his well made plans are ruined. As the pair become closer things take a romantic turn, Vashti feels happiness after feeling empty for so long. When Absalom’s friend from college turns up, their new found peace is put at risk.
What drew me into this book was the beautiful, in depth descriptions at the start. I could feel Vashti’s pain and loneliness through the words in the book, and I was hooked. The story has some unexpected twists and turns, and you really feel as though you are taken on a journey with the characters. This is a short story that will leave you wanting more. Great if you want a story to read in one sitting.

McEwen – Review by Lianne Probert
A kaleidoscope is a cylinder full of broken pieces, yet everyone still stares at it in awe. Who’s to say the same can’t be said for women?
Before being thrust in the violent and terrifying sex-trafficking industry, Kristina Svoboda lived in a tiny hamlet in her home country of Czechia. She had an unfulfilling yet peaceful life before she drew the eye of a royal-blooded aristocrat who took what he wanted and lived his life without consequences.
For six years, she’s been beaten, tortured, and exploited, yet her shoulders don’t carry the weight of her abuse. Her heart does, which is exactly what Trey Corbyn plays on when he spots her from afar seconds after she’s released from captivity.
He sees past the frail skin, hollow eyes, and waif-thin exterior.
He sees a survivor.
A woman.
Someone just as broken as him.
With his instincts no longer in existence and his possessiveness dangerous, can a broken man fix a fragilely timid woman? Or will his insecurities worsen her cracks until they reach a point they’ll be unfixable?
Trey: European Redemption is a gritty story about finding love in the darkest of places. It’s raw, intimidating, and shows even when you’ve been beaten to believe otherwise, sometimes dreams do come true. This book has violent scenes that may be distressing to some readers. Caution is advised. It is book seven in the Russian Mob Chronicles, however, it can be read as a standalone.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen is quite a surprising little package- a dark and mysterious fantasy that is so much more than it first appears. I really don’t want to go into any detail as I don’t want to give away the clever and surprising twist that really gave this book an added element of intrigue. The characters are really well developed with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. The scene setting and storytelling is quite rich, imaginative, and vividly descriptive. The authors have woven a lot into a relatively small amount of space, choreographing all the elements into quite an enthralling read. They also manage to infuse quite a lot of emotion into the storyline, making it easy to connect with the characters and invest in them and the outcome of their story. Well Done! Looking forward to more!

McEwen – Review by Angela Hayes
I enjoyed this book. This is a shorter romance story that is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites of her yet. I had no issues connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. They made the story easy to read. This is a story about Kelly and Tate. Kelly has not had the best relationships in the past and now she is being forced to work with the town’s player. Will she give him a chance? Will she see who he really is? I enjoyed watching these two grow throughout the book and their chemistry mixes well. I highly recommend this book. It is a great story to heat up anyone’s day.

This was the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading more. This was a fun book to get into and it was a pretty quick read for me. I fell in love with the idea of Kelly and Tate from page one. Kelly has been cheated on in the past, which makes her very skeptical. Tate has never been one to be monogamous. So when they come together to plan a festival, they can really get to know each other. I loved the flow of this book and I can not was to see what happens next in Sweet Ridge.

Some books take several pages to get me hooked, this one got me right away. The way Gaia B Amman writes this romance/mythical/suspenseful tale makes you realize that it’s getting better as you read it. The characters are wonderful, smart, independent, and complex all at the same time. Tasha and Josh’s relationship is very relatable which gets you to connect to the story even more. Ms. Amman is a new author I will be adding to my list to follow. Can’t wait to read some of her other books soon.

The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen Five Stars
The Widow: A Dark Romantic Fantasy by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E McEwen is a really great story that will grab you on the very first page and won’t let you go until the end. The two authors’ writing styles blend together and make this book flow smoothly. Vashti, Absalom and Simeon are great characters and the story kept me wondering what could possibly come next. I really like these two authors and I’m going to put them both on my TBR list.

McEwen – Review by Sunday Barnaby
The Widow by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen was not at all what I expected. When I first started reading this story, I was immediately drawn in by the emotion portrayed by the main character, Vashti. The authors do a great job at getting the reader invested in her struggles and desires. Once you’re invested, the story takes a dark and mysterious turn. I really enjoyed reading this, and highly recommend it!

In the Arms of Morpheus: A Speculative Romance (Antiheroes Book 2) by Gaia B. Amman. Once again this author has a way with words that hooks me from beginning to end. This story was no less amazing than all the rest I’ve read. The characters pull you into their world and you can easily feel the connection to them and their story. This may be on the shorter side of a story but that didn’t hinder and of the importance of the impact I felt from it. The author writes in a way that you feel everything the characters are. It’s a well developed storyline and I loved every minute I spent lost in the pages. Four stars and highly recommended!
