What better way to describe this compelling novel than Slow Burn! I enjoyed reading this novel- ranging from Adam’s struggle with seeing past his scars (not only physically but internally) to Maddie trying to get her parents to come to terms with her career in dancing. When their worlds collide, sparks fly, and they embark on a journey of romance, love, and hope. This novel proves that sometimes we need to look past the surface of one’s façade to find the person truly worth loving.

This enemies to lovers romance had me hooked from start to finish. I loved the main characters, grumpy Adam and bubbly Maddie and enjoyed seeing how their relationship changed and developed throughout the story. Maddie is instantly attracted to her new neighbour Adam after all he’s tall, muscular and has tats, but then he opens his mouth and she discovers that he is also rude and obnoxious. However, despite Adams poor first impression Maddie believes that there is more to him and that he’s hiding a past pain. The storyline flowed well and the descriptive narrative bought both the setting and the characters to life making this an engaging read. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this as the story had both sad moments, tragic moments and then laugh out loud moments along with plenty of romance. I found myself still thinking about Adam and Maddie long after I had put the book down, which for me is always a sign of a good read.

The Boss Prince is the first book in It’s Raining Royals series by Alix Nichols. This is the first book I have read from Alix Nichols, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in- but the premise sounded fun, so I grabbed a copy and followed along. This is a very light-hearted romantic comedy- with a just a drop of the paranormal- which made for a quick, easy, and fun read. I did enjoyed the fact that Ms. Nichols created a whole unknown ‘country’ in vivid detail. Right down to royalty, customs, and lore- the story was well developed. The characters had also been well crafted- though there were some aspects I would have liked to explore further, but perhaps more detail will come in future books. Looking forward to seeing what Sasha and Arnaud get up to in Book #2…

This was a great one – – I personally enjoy the ‘enemies to lovers’ story line. In Slow Burn there was nice character development and they had relatable, real-world issues to work through. I think I read this in two short sittings, and it has enough steam and intrigue to keep the reader engaged but it’s not overly explicit. In the end you’re rooting for Adam and Maddie to end up together but the author makes you wait right up until the end to reveal if they will or not. I’d read more from A.K. MacBride!

This is a delicious slow-burn. There is something to be said for going slow instead of quick and fast all the time. This one delivers it all in spades. We really get to know the characters and their wants and needs. Adam is quite the guy. At first I loved to dislike him but slowly..oh so slowly he turned a corner as I changed my opinion about him. He is a grump and kinda mean. By the end he is a hot dreamboat. There is one scene in here that I highlighted because I loved it so much. Sadly its near the end so I can’t say anything because I don’t want to give anything away. But let’s just say..my heartbeat picked up as I held my breath. Madison is wonderful. She has challenges that are different from Adam’s but I still enjoyed all her turmoil, tears and smiles.
Secondary characters are super. First off can a dog be a character? Sheldon has a smallish part but its a instrumental in the story. Frankie is a great character. Supportive and there for her bestie. I see her story is next and I am excited. There are parents, friends and family that all help these two try to get together.
Overall this is a wonderful read. The suspense of will they or won’t they drove me crazy! Heck even that first kiss! Yowza! I loved seeing the growth of these two and I look forward to more. The title of this series (Breathing Hearts) fits perfectly.

Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie is a romantic comedy story. City girl meets country boy. It is told from one POV but would have given the story more depth if it had been written in dual POV thus I found it hard to fully connect with the characters. The story was fun, but I didn’t fall in love with it. There were some moments that made me smile as we watch Stella navigate her time in the country and all that it has to offer, creepy crawlies and all and her attraction to the country boy who helped her when she first arrived.

Slow Burn: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (Breathing Hearts #2) by A.K. MacBride
This is the first book I’ve read by MacBride. This is the second book in the Breathing Hearts Series. It can be read as a standalone.
Adam has his own past that he is dealing with. He doesn’t want to be friendly towards anyone, especially his neighbor. That changes when he finds her dancing on the beach one morning. The quote I chose for Adam is: “Take your damn rat and go away.”
Madison or Maddie has always loved dancing. Her parents were never on board and compared her to her sister. Little did she know the reasoning behind why her dad was so against it. Her neighbor is not friendly but she makes her way under his skin. The quote I chose for Maddie is: “Remember how I told you about Lucetta and the dance studio? Well, I have the opportunity to make it mine. So, this morning when I said I was going to see my parents, it was to ask them to help me.”
I really enjoyed this book! Maddie and Adam had incredible chemistry. I want to go read the first book in the series as well as look up Zoe’s story.
Maddie has a heart of gold and a spine of steel. She is dealing with a lot and has protected herself, but does it without putting anyone else down to do it. Adam is dealing with incredible trauma and has pushed away everyone close to him. My heart hurt so much for him, and watching him heal was awesome. I loved how Sheldon helped break through Adam’s wall – that dog was as much a main character as the other 2 :D.
Maddie’s parents made me so angry, and even knowing the reasoning, I was not as forgiving as Maddie.

This is a beautiful love story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters believable and relatable. The story itself will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions from feeling high and on top of the world to then plunging down into the darkest depths.
Maddie and Adam both have secrets and past failings in their lives which make them the people they are today. But where Maddie tries to see the good in life Adam can only see the negative.
When Adam moved in next door to Maddie he wasn’t looking for romance or a connection. Struggling with his own demons he wanted to shut himself off from the world and never open his heart up to love again. When Maddie meets Adam the chemistry from her is instant however Adam’s attitude and stand off and rude behaviour makes her question her attraction. As time progresses and Maddie slowly works her way into Adam’s heart can they both overcome their pasts to build a happy future or will some demons keep them apart.

Slow Burn is the 2nd book in the Breathing Hearts series by A. K. MacBride. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read the first book in the series, in fact this is the first time I have read any of this author’s work, and I did not feel that I was missing any necessary information. Slow Burn is a fantastic enemies to lovers romance that will take you on an emotional roller coaster. You may need tissues to read this book. I’ll admit to being rather teary at a few points in this book. In my mind if an author can cause this reaction then they are definitely doing something right. I loved reading Adam and Maddie’s story. Both are not in a good place in their lives and are struggling, but for very different reasons. Let’s just say that their very first meeting is a memorable one and doesn’t show Adam in his best light. He does redeem himself and soon steals a place in your heart. This is a really great book which had me totally engrossed from beginning to end and I would 100% recommend it.

If you need a good laugh, chuckle, or heart pull I highly recommend this! I didn’t see the ending I thought would happen because of the 2 totally different people. She’s a city girl from a big city and he’s a country boy from a small town. He’s a mechanic and she’s working her way up the corporate ladder. It was supposed to be just a one night stand. I loved this book so much! I am defiantly keeping it on my shelf as a favorite.

What is there to say about Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride? Well for starters I actually didn’t like it at first. Adam’s standoffishness and Maddie’s need to bring out the best in everyone while ignoring herself hit too close to home. One could say my initial dislike was that I saw too much of myself in both characters. People never like hearing or accepting truths about themselves, but as I read on, the characters grew on me. Adam became the guy to me who was running away to start over after the death of his wife, leaving him physically and emotionally scarred. Maddie broke inside because her family thought she was a failure because of her life choices. The main characters’ story lines were well written and beautifully displayed themselves throughout, which kept me reading. A romance in its own right, though the end was predictable, getting to that end was what kept me interested. The growth these two had individually as well as together put a smile on my face and changed my mind on how I felt. A.K. MacBride won me over in the end, I look forward to reading other books in this series as well as outside of the by this author. I may not have loved the book but when it comes to the author I’m a huge fan!

Slow Burn by A.K MacBride is a Romance/ Enemies to Lovers book about love, loss, and second chances. Wow just Wow I wasn’t expecting to have my heart ripped to shreds and definitely was not ready for all the emotions I experienced while reading this wonderfully written story. This is about Adam and Maddie. Adam is a grumpy yet sexy man who was in a tragic accident that caused him to close off himself from friends and his family. He moves to Clearwater Bay to get away from the looks of pity. Maddie loves to dance but her dreams of dancing are put on hold. She finds herself working for her parents at their hardware store. She is given an opportunity to to help out a local business but will she do it? These both have their issues but together can tbey work? I absolutely loved this book and had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. Im definitely looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Two tortured souls meet and healing and light enter the world again. Broken hearts are mended and so much joy!! And ALL the feels!! If dark and tortured is your thing, then Adam is so for you! If I don’t snatch him up first 😉 Just a great story and it definitely lives up to its title! I will definitely be reading more from this author!!

I enjoyed this romance story. This is a well written story where the author used details to not only bring the story to life on each page but also gave it a realistic feel. This is a story about a woman who has wanted a promotion for a while. She moves to a new town for this promotion only to run into some problems with things like snakes, going in a ditch and the mechanic that she never expected. What will fate have in store for these two? Will she keep her mind on her job while falling for this mechanic? I enjoyed being pulled into the story by these two. They have great chemistry as well as great growth throughout the story. They made up the story for me and they were cute together. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. I had a hard time putting this book down. It was entertaining and fun. I highly recommend this book.

Gone Country by Katrina Marie a delightfully charming four-star read. This could have been a five-star read, and I had high hopes for it, I am hoping that the next one will knock it over the edge. This took a while to warm up to and get into, Stella I got as I am also clumsy and have some shocking luck, but other parts left me cold. But by the end of the story, her and Johnny give you the warm and fuzzies. It has a good story, once you get to the meat of it, so I would say keep going if you start and wonder what is going on.

I absolutely LOVED this book. From the moment Stella met Johnny, I knew this book was going to be good. It’s one of those books that I could see being turned into a movie or a TV show. Stella is trying to get a promotion at her job after working very hard for countless years. Johnny is the country hottie she meets during her newest adventure of temporary relocation. This is book 1 in the Cousins Gone series and I will most definitely be reading the other books in the series.

Slow Burn is a very appropriate title for this book. Adam is a tough guy persona with an ugly personality from emotional and physical trauma he suffered. Maddie is sweet and caring but has her own emotional scars to deal with. As they shed the walls they have built will they find what they are looking for? I absolutely loved this story. It was sexy and beautiful and reminded me of my own love story IRL. Adam and Maddie are both characters who are well developed and definitely have the reader rooting for them. An easy read that leaves you wanting more and the author provided an extra chapter! I love HEA!!!

Maddie and Adam will for sure light your kindle on fire with a “slow burn” that will have you aching for more AK MacBride ASAP! MacBride is a new author to me so this is a wonderful find for me at a five star read that had me so hooked I read well past my bedtime to find out if these two characters that had stolen my heart would get the happily ever after I so wanted them to have. Of course you will have to read and find out if they did for yourself because you won’t find that detail in my review lol but I can tell you this book is one you do not want to miss. Especially if you enjoy reads that can make you cry and laugh all in one chapter, not something that is easy to do with such ease and grace that AK MacBride does so very well in this one several times. I loved the fact that the tragedies were believable and relatable and made the story rich not heavy. I was completely invested in the futures of these two from the way they would love to the way they would live. I cannot wait to see what else is available from Ms. MacBride!

I enjoyed this romance story that pulled me in from the beginning. This is a story that made me laugh in parts and hard to put down in others. This is a well written story about a woman who loses her job only to get a new government job but the problem is he is a prince as well. What happens to them next I would highly recommend picking up this book. Together they will make you laugh and even get a little steamy in other parts. They have great growth and chemistry throughout the story. I also enjoyed what they brought to the story and how fun, entertaining they made it. This is a hard to put down romance story where the author used details to not only bring the story to life but also gave it a realistic feel. I really enjoyed this book and it certainly is worth reading.

I couldn’t put this book down. From the first page to the last page, I was hooked. The three cousins in this book reminded me so much of myself and my best friends, especially when we were younger. I will be reading the rest of the series as soon as I can! I have already downloaded them on my kindle! I can’t wait to read Audrey’s storyline because she reminds me of myself. However, Stella moving away from her people for work also reminded me slightly of my own dreams and ambitions. This book was amazing, and I would recommend it to my friends in a heartbeat. (I may already have!)

If you are looking for a romance with adventure, I would recommend The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols. I read this in just a couple of hours and it kept me engaged the entire time. Just fired from her ex’s business, Lucie is down on her luck until she is hired on the spot by a company secretly operated by a secret royal family and her main mission, that she is unaware of, is to find the first piece of a puzzle to save the royal kingdom. Her boss, unbeknownst to her, is Prince Max Delaroche. These two set out on a journey to find a key, but along the way they find and discover their love for each other. This is a fun book with bits of humor mixed along the way. I really enjoyed Lucie’s character. Looking forward to the upcoming books in this series for a quick read.

Gone Country is the first book in the Cousins Gone series by Katrina Marie. This is the first book that I have read from this author so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. What I found between the covers was a cute and very light read. Diehard city girl meets down to earth country boy. This is a tried and true recipe that I have read many times before and have enjoyed- especially as an in-between my heavier reads book-snack. I think this story held a lot of potential, but failed to deliver, for me. Like I said, it is a cute and light read- there really wasn’t anything there that really grabbed my attention to make it stand out from the crowd. The characters were ok, but they frustrated me so much, I really had trouble connecting with them. But I feel that with some tweaking like fixing the grammar issues, keeping the pace from lagging and dragging, having more detailed descriptions, with more development of the story and characters, and a little extra (realistic and unmanufactured) drama or conflict would definitely go a long way to making this book more memorable… but again that is just me. Please don’t let me put you off reading this story if you like a lighter read- I just prefer my stories with a bit more ‘meat’. I am curious to read some of Katrina Marie’s other work to see what else she can do and if this is just a one-off issue, for me. I will probably go back and read this book again in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way, or if maybe I was just having an ‘off’ reading day with this.

I absolutely loved this book! The plot was very sweet and tied up the loose pieces all around. I feel like the arcs were complete for both Maddie and Adam. The moment with Maddie and her father was exactly the right and I definitely did not expect it to happen in the way it did. Sheldon was a great link that helped break down the walls.
I really appreciated Maddie’s passion for dancing and the way the author painted the picture of her dancing on the beach. I felt that connection of art and healing is really important.
Overall, I look forward to reading more from this author!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it absolutely will not be my last, I thoroughly enjoyed this enemies to lover’s romance from start to finish. I completely devoured this book, I read it in one sitting as I couldn’t get enough of these two dynamic characters, you could almost feel the chemistry between the two with all of the detail that this author wrote with.
I loved how real and honest these characters were, loved the intimate moments and loved the humour incorporated into the serious moments. Now that I have read this book, I look forward to reading the first book of the series asap.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for their next romance read!

So I love office romances so I was very excited going into this, add in fake romance/dating then I’m like yes give it me. This was a really easy enjoyable read. There were a few moments that I chuckled to myself in this book. I’m struggling to read lately so the fact I read this shows a lot. Really enjoyed this book I’m going to have to read more from this author because I thoroughly enjoyed her writing too!

The title of the book gives you exactly what you would expect, a steamy slow burn romance. The depth of emotion in the story had me utterly captured, giving me a perfect mixture of angst, humour and that gratifying heart-warming feeling you crave in a good romance novel. The lead up and sizzling chemistry between Adam and Maddie was so palpable I couldn’t put the book down. There were moments that had me laughing, which I found such a lovely balance to have in quite an emotional book. Very well written, I would highly recommend.

Alix Nichols is a caffeine addict, a fan of Mr. Darcy and an award-winning author. She pens sexy romantic comedies and sci-fi romances that “keep you hanging off the edge of your seat” (RT Book Reviews). At the age of six, she released her first book. It featured highly creative spelling on a dozen pages stitched together and bound in velvet paper. Decades later, she still writes. Her spelling has improved (somewhat). Currently she has one complete romance series “wide” and three in Kindle Unlimited. She lives in France with her family, including an almost-human dog.

This was a book that was very relatable to me more than one. As I am one who tries my hardest always to plan all things perfectly, and with much organization and being precise, sometimes life throws you a curve ball when you at least expect it, and you may find something you always needed, even when you had no idea you wanted it, until its right there embracing you. The book was very touching and fun in many ways!
First off I loved how the main two characters were so relatable in many ways. Adam reminded me of someone special to me, the same person I actually married haha. Adam was a soul whom had been through more than he deserved, and he ended up well with a bitter taste for life, and when he opens up on his demons you respect as well as understand for why he is how he is. Maddie on the other hand reminded me very much of myself, she had had goals that she planned to reach and life kept happening and everything seemed to overly get in the way for her. I found she was a bit deflated with things happening as much as she did, and I will admit I have been there more than once!
Throw these two souls together, well their actually neighbor’s so run ins are kind of unavoidable, and perhaps something so worth while could happen, something that neither of them could eve even think to live without if they got a taste for it? They both had issues they had been through, and besides the sizzling chemistry these two had, or the wants of making the other feel things that you only read in fun romance novels, was enough said for sure! What really got to me , was when they really spent time together and realized under their skins how much there was to each of them, and how much there was truly to love one another within them. They needed each other just as much as they wanted one another, but can demons stay afar so these two can find happiness? Or will the past come back to haunt them?
The book was a fun read, very informative as much as it was relatable of the two characters, but the chemistry was a huge awesome bonus. it made them more relatable than you would think at first glance, or in this case, first read. I loved the relationship between them and how they grew as themselves as well as being more than what they started out as when I started this book. Its a sentimental read for sure I felt, and very much was enjoyed. I think a lot of people will find relations with Maddie and Adam, as well as a lot of heart feelings as reading. its defiantly a high recommendation on my end, with no hesitations!
