My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right from the start I found myself chuckling with the story. Miller was hiding his case from his family the best the could. We see when he gets back to the restaurant how that turns out. Maisy is running away from a marriage that she doesn’t really want. She’s doing her best to protect her brother, Bear, from her mother. Between the two of them, there are some issues that are deep and need to be resolved. I do find that these two are like a bit of a healing salve for each other. Miller, a former playboy, doesn’t want any other girl now. Maisy is attracted to Miller and is finding that he makes her happy. Bear has a role to play with everyone. He’s a terrific kid that brings a smile to everyone. He’s my favorite character in the story. He’s so good and innocent. This is a terrific book that has romance, comedy, and drama. When Maisy drops into Miller’s front seat, you can feel the Runaway Bride vibes. It’s a fun story that will have you smiling. There is great chemistry. There are familiar faces that appear in the story from previous books. It can be read as a standalone or in order in the series.

This is the 4th book in the Heartstrings Series. Seraphina is a Cupid tasked with helping hockey player Seth Maxwell find love, again, for the 3rd time. Can she actually be successful this time around? When she meets Marron she thinks this may be it is she can just get Seth and Marron on board.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was just the perfect length to give me a good read on a late night. I enjoyed the island’s beauty that the friends went to on their vacation, it sounds like a great place to meet up with other singles or just honeymoon with your sweetheart. The characters were wonderfully developed and helped to portray the feelings of such sorrow and confusion for our main character who was left at the altar. It allowed me to connect with his mindset and was happy that his best friend and travel agent were able to convince him to go on the trip together. There were so many surprises that I had not expected but was very happy to get a good ending with all of the questions being answered. I love that in the end, everyone gets what they deserve. What a great romance story with a great moral to always be careful of those you trust.

I always love getting to check out stories by this author; this was such a fun and quick read! I thought the friendship between our main character Daniel and his best man Joey was absolutely delightful and extremely hilarious. I thought Joey was a great influence in getting Daniel to break out of his comfort zone, giving him the opportunity to meet Sara. After a one night stand, they have to decide what they want things to look like for their future. Was this a one-time thing, or could it be more? As always there are some twists and turns and a bit of drama until we reach the end. I really enjoyed all of the different characters and I thought the author did a great job of making me really care about what was going to happen to them.

This enjoyable, fun romantic comedy kept me happily turning the pages, and had me wishing I had a ticket to the Flamingo Island Resort! Jilted groom Daniel and his best mate Joey decide to go on honeymoon together, and use the expensive, non-refundable tickets to the exclusive Flamingo Island Resort. Joey tries to convince Daniel that in order to get over being jilted he needs to have fun with another women. However, it’s not until he meets Sara that he starts to agree and have fun. Daniel and Joey are looking forward to a trip of a lifetime, but I don’t think they were expecting the trip they got! Although this is a fairly quick read as it’s a short novella, the storyline has plenty of drama, suspense, fun, and of course romance. I loved the characters and I really enjoyed this lighthearted and heartwarming romance which also had plenty of steamy scenes.

I truly enjoy picking up books by this author! This was such a fun read about second chances. Daniel was ready to marry the love of his life, Claire, but she left him at the altar without any hint of what went wrong. Instead of waste the nonrefundable honeymoon tickets, his best friend suggested they go together and have a blast. He wasn’t expecting to hit it off with someone so quickly. I found the flow of the story had a few bumps here and there that made it harder to find my groove. If you’re looking for a quick romantic comedy to make you laugh, this is the next read for you!

I enjoyed this quick read. This author never fails to impress me. It is a steamy read with a twist I definately didn’t see coming but I loved.

Daniel was jilted at the alter. With his honeymoon being non refundable he decides to go with his best friend Joey. Surely it’s a good way to heal a broken heart, sun, drink and women.
At first Daniel wasn’t sure on the women part until he met Sara.
However Sara isn’t all she seems to be and when the runaway bride makes an appearance as well Daniel is left reeling as lies and deceit come to light in ways he never expected.
The question is was one night of passion enough for Daniel to forgive and move forward with Sara or would he want to forget it ever happened.

Being left at the altar on his wedding day, Daniel and his best friend decide to use their honeymoon tickets anyways.
We meet Sara who is on a mission in more ways than one and sets her hungry eyes on Daniel.
With some quick twists and turns, the island feels like a really small world.
Easy afternoon read.

This seems like a fun series following different people and flamingo Island written by different authors.

Tropic Heat is part of the Flamingo Island Series. It is a romantic comedy with love, loss, romance, humor, witty banter, hijinks, and chemistry. The story centers around the main character of Daniel who was left at the alter by his fiancée, Claire. He feels embarrassed that his family and friends have seen him jilted by the love of his life. Thankfully, he has his best friend Joey who suggests that the two of them take the honeymoon together and not waste the non-refundable tickets. Joey tells Daniel that the best way to leave behind the stress and embarrassment is to go and party, find some girls, and have fun. After drinking too much Daniel ends up in a one-night stand with a girl he meets named Sara. Sara is there to enjoy herself and is ready for change in her life. What neither Daniel nor Sara expect is to find their one-night stand turn into something more. A great read about fate and finding love at the most unexpected time. Love the characters and found my heart going out to Daniel for being left at the alter by the love of his life. I was hoping that he would find happiness and was pleased that he met Sara because she seemed like the perfect match for him. Love this author’s writing style and the humor throughout the book.

Quick, but entertaining. My only wish is that there could have been a couple more chapters to really cement in the romance feel. However, from the way it ended, there may be more story coming.
I loved the turtle. If the story does continue, I hope they visit him again. And I’d love to learn more about Joey. I actually have hopes that things go a certain way with him.
Overall, great read!

Daniel is a jilted groom not knowing what to do with the very expensive non-refundable honeymoon, when his best friend convinces him to get over this heartache is to get drunk, find some girls and have fun. So as they arrive at the resort they get swept away in the fun spirit and too much alcohol and Daniel ends ups up in a one-night stand.

Sara is there just chilling, super charged and ready for action, when a handsome man catches her eye at check-in she is for fun and adventure but being in a romantic setting on your on is no fun so when she arrives at the hotel bar and said man arrives they strike up a conversation and before they know it they are in her room having fun, but what will happen in the morning?

This is a short, funny, romantic novella and will have you laughing out loud with some of the antics of both Joey, the best friend of Daniel, Sara and Daniel himself. With mischief and alcohol will this end happily ever after. The story is faced paced and although you see Daniel at his worst at the beginning of the book you end up routing for him to have happiness at the end.

Although a Novella this is definitely not a short change book and has the feel of a longer novel within the writing and the development of the characters, if you are looking for a quick coffee break read with romance and comedy this is the book for you.

When left at the altar with a nonrefundable honeymoon package Daniel takes his best friend’s advice and they take the vacation. Even the honeymoon trip fails to go planned for Daniel and Joey.
Tropic Heat is a quick read with classic rom-com vibes. It’s easy to read and is entertaining. Joey is worth quite a few laughs as he keeps things interesting.

Tropic Heat

This is a book in the Flamingo Island series. All of the books are standalone that take place on Flamingo Island.

This was the first of the series I have read so I don’t know if there is any background for the Island or not in earlier books.

Daniel deals with an unimaginable embarrassment and is left at the alter. Thankfully he has his best friend to go on the honeymoon with him. That’s when the adventure begins.

I think my favorite moment was with Buster after a booze filled night. I still chuckle thinking about it.

I will adding the others to my TBR list and plan to try and get to them soon since I have some free time coming.

Tropic Heat (Flamingo Island Series) by C.A. King. I love this author so I was excited to read this romance and I was not disappointed. Its the jilted groom left at the altar scenario that I haven’t read because its usually always the bride left at the altar, anyway it was a fun short read and I feel in love with Daniel. After Daniel is left at the altar his best friend Joey talks Daniel into going on his honeymoon especially since the tickets are nonrefundable and taking Joey with him. What Daniel doesn’t expect is to have a one night stand with a woman and catch feelings for her. Sara just wanted to go on a vacation without any strings until she falls into bed with a key person on the case she is working on. And on top of that she really has chemistry with this guy and wouldn’t mind seeing him again. What I thought was a short little novella left me with big feelings. I loved this book! Read it to find out all the juicy things that happen!

Every single book this author writes seems to be pure gold. And I absolutely love, and am amazed by the fact that she can so easily turn her hand to different genres. This book is much more lighthearted and fun than the last ones I read but is just as captivating and entertaining. I really enjoyed the fact that the story focused in a gilted groom rather than a gilted bride. I found myself flying through this book once I started reading because I simply could not put it down. This is a fantastic book by one of my favourite authors.

Well I’ve read this author quite a few times. The books tend to be a hit or miss on my pique of interest levels. Tropic Heat was one of those that piqued my interest so I had to dive in. These books are typically short and quick with quality within the pages. Sometimes I wish the story had a little more and this was also one of those times. I liked it but I wanted more meat for this particular story.
Daniel was jilted and still went on his honeymoon anyway. Well that’s because it was non-refundable. What he wasn’t expecting was the scenario he would be pulled into.
Sara ended up on Flamingo Island for an assignment. An assignment after a night or rolling around in the sheets with a stranger. Ended up hitting closer to home. Daniel ended up being a key in her case but she needed to find out how much.
How much is too much?
How does Daniel feel when he finds out?
All kinds of emotions flow through the reader in a short period of time. One of which is feeling bad Daniel went through all of this.
Are you curious to find out what happens? Well maybe you should take the leap like I did to find out if it’s just enough to satisfy you, or if you want more as I do.

King has done it again; given us a quick, enjoyable read that draws you in and keeps you turning the page. Getting left at the alter on his wedding day wasn’t what Daniel had in mind when he booked a non refundable honeymoon. So when that happens, his best friend convinces him to take the trip anyway. Will he spend his time drowning his sorrows, throwing a pity party, a sting of one night stands, or maybe, just maybe, will he find someone whom Sparks fly with? I recommend picking up a copy to find out.

Seraphina
By: Brooke May

This is a fantasy romance, something I don’t normally read. But Brooke May has become one of my favorite authors so I figured I would give this book a chance and I am so glad that I did.
Seraphina is a cupid, but not the normal stereotypical cupid we all imagine with arrows and wings and looking like a cherub. Seraphina is feisty and really sassy.
Seth is a hockey player with a playboy attitude. He goes through his pick of women on the regular. But once Seraphina gets involved that all changes.
This is the fourth book in the series, but the first that I have read. I definitely think this book functioned as a standalone, but I will be reading the others because I enjoyed this one. I definitely loved the characters in this book and have always found Brooke May to have a talent in writing books with fantastically well developed characters that jump off the page. I definitely recommend this book!

SeraphinaSeraphina by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is by far my favorite book in the Heartstrings series, what a wonderful moral that we learn in this book. Not only do we learn that actions speak louder than words, but we also see that the love of mankind is far more important than anything money can buy. Seraphina also referred to as Meanie by Aiko, our first cupid that we met in book one of this series, not only helps to show why she’s developed this nickname, but she grows through the process of this latest assignment. She is working with Seth, a man that she has been tethered to two other times, both of which failed after she had left the romance to finish blooming on their own, must come back a third time to help Seth, a pro ice hockey player, to find the love of his life. Seraphina is surprised by the man that she is confronted with, as he has changed, and not for the better, allowing fame and fortune to change his entire outlook on life. He is now more focused on himself, instead of the love that he once had for his teammates and the love of the game. Her work is cut out for her, especially when Seraphina learns that the person that Seth’s heartstring leads to is a woman who works in a local place that helps kids in a low-income neighborhood to have opportunities at daycare and activities to keep them out of trouble. Seth grew up in a similar situation thanks to his grandmother taking him in at a young age and giving him the love of ice hockey. Seth has a lot to learn when it comes to wooing a woman who does not need or want all the expensive dinners and entertainment that he’s used to showing his dates but is more drawn into the love he shows the children. Will Seth be able to find his past self, and find joy in the simple things of life, or will he allow his fame and fortune to continue to blind him to the greater things in life, such as true love?

Malayeka (Heartstrings Series) by Brooke May – Review by Brandy Rymer

Malayeka (Heartstrings Book 3)Malayeka by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so fun to read, I loved that Malayeka was the cupid who got the feuding families, whom she had worked with when the feud had first begun ages before. It’s like the saying goes, things just keep coming around, well hopefully after this cupid works her magic, maybe the feud will finally come to an end but with love winning out this time. Malayeka has her hands full in this story, where she’s got to work with the Thomson family and the Reid family who are well known for their feuding town where each side of the road has matching businesses, but each side is run by the other family. Unfortunately for our cupid, the person she is tethered to is a Reid, and her heartstring leads to a Thomson. The two who are attached have had a secret friendship their whole lives that they have had to keep hidden from both families. The Thomson side of this romance has no problem telling his family how he feels, it’s the Reid side who values the love of her family and is too scared to speak up and stand up for the love that she hides deep down, where she thinks if ignored, it’ll just fade away into safety. This is where our cupid gets to come in and help guide these two into seeing how much better life would be if they’d just open up to the love, they have for one another and how much more healing it would be for everyone in the long run in the town. This was such a fun read that incorporates old-time teachings and morals but is based in a modern time. Will these families be able to get past their old-fashioned beliefs and allow their children to let their love for one another blossom, or will they drive the two love birds apart?

Faida (Heartstrings Series) by Brooke May – Review by Brandy Rymer

Faida (Heartstrings Book 2)Faida by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Faida is the second book in the Heartstrings series which features a very cynical cupid who has seen too much history of failed relationships in her time. Faida is one of Cupid’s helper cupids who is tethered to a single dad, who is a successful CEO of an ad company, who has been burned in love. His daughter’s mother was a multiple-time cheater, who decided she was better off leaving her daughter and her ex to live her life filled with men, drugs, and alcohol seeking the thrill of life instead of motherhood. This leaves a very sour taste toward love in the mouth of Robert, a single dad who devotes his entire life to his business and his daughter. This is where Faida comes in, to help Robert open his heart to the concept that not all women are as bad as his ex, and that not only does his daughter deserve a mom in her life, but he deserves love as well. Mika is Robert’s assistant, and the right hand of the business, who jumps at any request he has thrown at her. Mika has a soft spot in her heart for her boss as well as his daughter, but she’s too passive to speak up for what she wants. Will Faida be able to convince Robert that what he needs has been right in front of him the whole time, or will he allow his past issues with love to continue to keep his heart closed to romance? Not only do we get to watch Faida in her element, but we also get to meet some of the other cupids as well as they occasionally need to help one another out with their assignments. In the end, will Faida be able to help Robert open his heart, as well as find hope in romance once again?
