Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mafia and second chance romance?! I was there. This is the third book in the series and I loved it. The series really does just keep getting better and better. I loved the romance between Stefano and Em, I got lost in their story. Really well written and really enjoyed the story.
A Cold Creek Christmas by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really cute Christmas story. Loved the fact that Amber was the grinch in the story, and the dad Giovanni was the one who loves Christmas. I do love it when we have a switch on the grump and sunshine trope. Really cute easy fast read.
Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady by Manda Mellett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Mixed feelings for this one, I was anticipating reading this ever since I finished the first one and that cliffhanger. I like Red and Chery’s relationship and where that was heading and then we had the child thrown in and it felt like a huge chunk of this book fell on about then instead of Red and Cheryl which is what I was hoping. The book was still okay I enjoyed reading it for the most part and the book was brilliantly written.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Manda Mellet has done it again, she creates amazing stories and I do love my MCs. I loved the characters. I loved seeing Red and his relationship with Cheryl. As always we are left with a cliffhanger.

Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So this is the second book in the series. So we follow Sofia and Enzo in this book and their journey isn’t by any means easy. I really liked that we had a past history with them. I love how protective Enzo was when it came to Sofia and keeping her safe.

Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So this is my first holiday-themed book for this year, and I really enjoyed this. It was a fun little read and I really enjoyed the relationship between Sawyer and Liberty and it was so cute. I may have to go back and read the others in this series. It didn’t take from the story either. A good chrismtas story to start the season off.

Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance by Maya Daniels
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A really good start to what seems like a good series is coming! Vulture was a character for like a lot of this book plain crazy but lets be honest that’s how we like them. Danielle cried an awful lot but once that was over it wasn’t too bad. I can’t wait to see where this series is going.

Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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!

Forbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So this is the second book in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed the first one so I was ready to head into this one. Ready I was. Forbidden romance always hits a little different for me and I love itttt. Honestly one of my favourite tropes. This book didn’t disappoint, don’t want to say too much because spoilers. Still loved Tasha and Levi and their relationship. If you want a romance between a vampire and wolf then this is the book for you!

Sweet Nightmares by Chynna Pace
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
So tis a shock going from reading steamy and spicy books to a YA. Anyway onto the actual review. I liked the first book in the series, as it is the first I feel like it has so much more potential. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. There was times where it got a little slow and dragged a tiny tad, but overall it’s a good start to the series and I will be interested in reading more.

So this is book 2 in the series, and I am really enjoying these books. It has a mixture of romance, danger and supernatural beings which makes for a gripping read. And gripped I was.

Descallia: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
So this is a new to me author, and I was very excited to start this book, loving vampires and dark books lately so I was there. I really enjoyed the plot. Descallia is the overlord of the consorte and they are being framed for the disappearance of women in the city. As he’s trying to deal with that he has a problem in form of Luicanna but there is something different about her and he’s struggling to concentrate and not get distracted.
Off to a good start can’t wait to read the next.

Avenging Devil Part 2: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a really good part 2. Part 1 left on a cliffhanger which had you just needing to read the next one. The book was filled with action, suspense and danger as we pick up right where we left off. I don’t want to say too much because spoilers but it was great! Really enjoyed!

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my second book by this author and I really enjoyed it, this book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone as I did. I really enjoyed reading this book it was a contemporary romance. I really liked Casey and Setter they were hilarious characters. I enjoyed reading this and I may eventually start making my way through the other books in this series.

Bad Man on Campus by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So I do love me some hockey romances and usually not matter what the trope is I will read them because you know we love hockey. Second chance romance although not my favourite this author did it extremely well. Glory’s story was sad and heartbreaking the fact she was struggling with addiction just to numb the pain. I love that Kace stood by her when he get a second chance. You can feel how much they want to be with each other and can’t walk away. I really enjoyed this book, it was a good read!

Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really enjoyed this. I love me MC stories and after reading two books from her other series I was ready to start this and I liked it a lot. The only thing that was slightly annoying was the cliffhanger. I was like nooooo I need more. Really liked Niran and Saffie’s story. I need part 2 like now.

The Divine Devils by R. Weir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the blurb pulled me straight into this book but it was the writing and the plot, the suspense, the intrigue, tension, violence and action that kept me reading. I can’t wait to see where book 2 goes next because this has got me hooked. It was a hectic thrilling ride and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a great start to a new series, the blurb really made me want to read this and it quite honestly did not disappoint. Really liked Sarah and James relationship the slow burn and the angst was there and honestly, it was written great. Did not expect the ending and I can’t wait to read the next book and find out what happened.

Forbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow wow wow so you know me I love me a forbidden romance and this was definitely it. And especially paranormal forbidden romance is just a whole new level. I loved the relationship between Levi and Tasha. There is so much action and war happening in this book it makes it hard to put down and it is one of those where you have to read it in one sitting because you just can’t put the book down. Really enjoyed this!

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So to start with I love me a British book especially because I don’t read that many and I love when we have things set in places I know well. Also, love that the author is English herself. This is have nothing to do with the actual book I just love it.
This was a fast-paced steamy read and I was there for it, I demolished this book in one sitting and I truly have no regrets about that. It was great. I really enjoyed Damien and Zoe’s relationship I love me a fake relationship to start with and seeing when they get feelings for each other I just live for it.
I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Chased by Felicity Brandon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I have very mixed feelings about this book and my main problem for this book was that I just didn’t care about the characters. I really wanted to like Chase and Allegra (if I’ve spelt that right?) but they just annoyed me for the majority of this book and I really wanted to believe their relationship but I had issues with that too. Especially over a certain scene, I was just like huh? So I did stick out reading the whole of this book which did take a few to get through but overall I’m glad I read it. I might even read some more of her books who knows. I liked the writing though and that is something that kept me reading.

Elusive by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This series keeps getting better and better with each book, I still need to go back and read the first three because I haven’t done that yet. I really liked Alexis and Sheldon’s relationship and really enjoyed reading their book, the chemistry between these two are almost instantaneous but both have scars from past relationships. The book pulled me in and I did read it all in one sitting. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Ready For Flynn, Part 1 by K.L. Shandwick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
To start Valarie really annoyed me, her immaturity made me want to slap her at times. There are no nicer ways to describe her but she annoyed me all the way through this book.
I really liked that we saw the dark side of the entertainment industry in this book, the author did a really good job at showing that I really enjoyed the plot.
I also loved reading the banter between Valarie and Flynn banter is one of my favourite things to read in a story without a doubt.

Queen Of My Heart by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed the author’s writing and the story she created. I enjoyed reading the characters and I loved both of these characters Tucker and Quinn were great characters. It had a nice happily ever after and was really sweet. They both came from messed up families but found each other. I felt the book dragged a little bit but other than that liked the book.

Revelations by Izzibella Beau

So I love paranormal stories so I was ready to dive into this one, I really enjoyed the plot. I really like the whole moving to a new town trope and obviously, Zach is the first to catch Emily’s eye and things begin, the story is full of teenage drama and honestly, I love it. I really enjoyed the writing and I can’t wait to see what the author does next.
