Ghost of a Chance (Redclaw Security Book 2) by McKenna Dean paranormal shifter romance story. I am a sucker for shifter stories and McKenna did the genre proud. Betrayal, mystery, action, fear and love are just a few of the aspects that make up this story. Our Hero is down to earth and struggling with a loss of a part of himself. Our Heroine is trying to ignore a part of herself thanks to years of being put under the hammered by her loved ones. I loved watching the characters grow and come together in the face an unknown enemy and unexpected danger.

Addicted to Love, Bayou Devils MC Book Two by A.M. Myers. This is the second book in the series. I was looking forward to reading this book. I absolutely loved the first book in this series. We briefly met both Chance and Carly in the first book, all I can say is, I fell head over heels in love with them both! Chance never gave up no matter how hard Carly pushed him away. All he wanted was her no matter how long it took, he was willing to wait but thankfully his pushing helped. The last thing Carly wanted was something serious. After something extremely horrible happening to her when she was sixteen, she vowed to never open her heart and trust a guy again. Watching Chance break down her emotional walls was great. I can not wait for more from this series and to see who will fall next.

Completely Riveting! I could not put this book down! Famished is a novel written by Meghan O’Flynn. It is the first book in the Ash Park series. This author truly is an amazing writer! I love murder mysteries to begin with and have read some of the greats and this book is right up there with them! This story is spoken from many different points of views. However, it mainly follows a woman named Hannah, who is beyond a little bit on the scared and nervous side. It also follows Detective Petrosky who starts as the lead detective following a series of murders in Ash Park. Every character in this story has a dark past that we learn about as the story unfolds. Every character that is mentioned plays a part that makes the bigger picture. Somehow, Hannah plays the biggest part in all of this story. There are so many twists and turns and everything is so calculated. I was completely glued to my kindle! Unlike some of the main murder mystery writers, this author chose to add in some seriously sexy and steamy scenes. These scenes are pretty graphic but written so incredibly well! This story simply blew me away! I loved the writing and the characters and how everything calculatingly unfolds. I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I would definitely recommend this book to any reader who loves murder mysteries. Absolutely Brilliant! There are no other words to describe it!

Burning Britely is a standalone novel by Deidre Huesmann. This is my first novel by this author.
A story about self-acceptance, friendship, and family, it follows two boys Jeff and Braeden. Jeff is not good with talking to people nor is he one to join a crowd. He feels the most comfortable studying and has his future all planned out.
“Studying wasn’t exactly a thrilling hobby, but he liked it just fine. It was comfortable, soothing, and predictable. It also helped him toward his goal of graduating senior valedictorian. Sure, he was a junior now, but what was the point if he hadn’t hit the ground running? He knew the stats—even taking the seniors into account, his GPA was fifth highest in the school.”
He’s only a junior but his main goal is to be senior valedictorian.
Braeden is popular, and track star. After an event brings them together, Jeff finds himself drawn to Braeden, a boy who is his opposite. While use to being unknown, Jeff is now hearing whisper everywhere he goes and kept help but feel flustered whenever Braeden’s name is mentioned.
It was a short read and I wish it was longer but it pulled me in from the beginning and all I wanted to do was read.
I really hope at some point, we get to see these characters again. Maybe in college.
For someone looking for a quick, lovable and enjoyable read, I recommend this.
Georgia Clay (Southern Promises #1) by K.G. Fletcher 5 out of 5 stars Georgia Clay is the first book in a Southern Promises series written by K.G. Fletcher and it’s the first book that I read by this author and it won’t be the last. I enjoyed her writing style as it is easy flowing and creative. The character are amazing, well written and I loved their banter with each other this made them feel more real. The storyline felt real. We get to read about second chances Clay and Katie meet up after 10 years at their class reunion where they spend the night in the bed of his pickup truck talking all night. What happens when they get reacquainted? Georgia Clay is a handsome, award-winning songwriter rubbing elbows with the elite stars of country music. An incredible talent in his own right, Clay has always hesitated to step into the spotlight on his own for fear his debilitating childhood secret will rear its ugly head. Katie Parker is a workaholic Southern beauty who’s first love is her career. It’s not just her knowledge of the cut-throat insurance business she has skillfully navigated over the years, but her tenacity and gumption in climbing the corporate ladder. As they forge ahead in a passionate long-distance relationship, can Clay admit to Katie she had his heart a long, long time ago? Will her drive and encouragement finally be the reason Georgia Clay takes a chance on his career…and love? I highly recommend this book and look forward to more of Ms. Fletchers work..
The Violet Trilogy by Vivian Winslow is Violet Rai’s story. It is books #7, #8, and #9 in the Gilded Flower Series. Her story really gives us an insight into the life of Lily and Dahlia’s BFF who completely intrigued me in the other books. She is quick-witted, intelligent, and a fun-loving party girl. But there were little things that I needed to know, some things that were alluded to but never explored, that had me wondering with so many questions- and I knew there was so much more to her story than what we were being shown/told.
This trilogy explores her world, pulling me into a tale that was so much more than I had expected. There were so many unexpected and surprising developments- twists that made me sit up and take notice, captivating me the whole while. It is a passionate story full of drama, friendship, daddy issues, romance, sizzle, flashbacks, secrets, challenges, plots, unlikely ally’s, intrigue, lies- and a rollercoaster of emotion. This box set contains the entire Violet Trilogy, so not only is it great value for money, but there is no wait between Violets books/story.
Ms. Winslow guides us through the story, painting a vivid picture, while we follow along as everything plays out. We watch all the highs and lows- discovering what makes Violet tic- all the secrets she’s held, all about her difficult relationship with her father and his plans for an arranged marriage, her hopes and fears, the fact there is an expectation that she will also embark on a career within her father’s multinational conglomerate and how she feels about it all. Then there’s the sizzling details of her romantic liaisons which really steamed up the screen of my kindle; as well as looking at her friendships with Lily, Dahlia and Thomas, some secrets are uncovered, and revelations made, and Violet faces challenges that will test her…. and so much more that you won’t want to miss out on!
The trilogy consists of:
– Wild Violet (Book #7)
– Hidden Violet (Book #8)
– True Violet (Book #9)
This trilogy could be read as a standalone, but there are relevant details, background information, and backstory to be found in the previous books that would enrich your reading experience of thiss story- plus there are parts of the plot that intersects with and plays out alongside storylines from previous books…. So, I really recommend reading the entire series, in sequence, to get the full impact of the story!
Thank you, Ms. Winslow!

This is the second book in the Redclaw Security series from McKenna Dean, and my very first read from her. I didn’t have any issue reading this as a standalone other than I am sad that I hadn’t had the experience of reading the first book yet! I will be remedying the situation as soon as possible! I may just be one-clicking all that is available from Dean as well! Before I jump too much into the book, can I just say how delicious this cover is? I don’t know if it is the eyes or arms, or everything…. I don’t know I just love it. It drew me in and had me barely able to let go even after the last words.
In Ghost of a Chance we get a lot in a little package. Everything from the super-natural, suspense, secrets, betrayal, romance, and more! All of it is done meticulously and the flow makes things easy to follow, I was never confused as to what was going on.
When a brutal winter storm hits Sarah’s farm she is forced to work with Casey for a change to care for the horses. Despite the cold outside the heat between the two is building to a sultry fire. Will the secrets that each of them are holding inside ruin any chance they have at a romance together? Maybe the secrets hold more answers than they will ever know? I fell in love with these two! I can’t wait to see what will come in book three!

The Kitty Committee A Novel of Suspense by Kathryn Berla is an interesting read. It is a story of mean girls and lifelong regrets. I found it hard to get in to the flow and rhythm of this book and the two and fro of the past and the present. I also felt that sometimes less would have been more, the story could have been told with fewer words. Having said that I could not put the book down, I had to know what happened and why and I definitely didn’t see the twist at the end coming.

This is set 3 in the Gilded Flowers series in which we finally get Violets story. I’ve loved everything about this series and this was an awesome way to end it. This book will wow you from the very beginning and keep you planted in your seat until the very end. We got clues from the end of the second trilogy about what COULD be happening next and I was worried but I shouldn’t have been. Vivian Winslow did an amazing job on this story and I loved all the twists and turns.
I may or may not be suffering from a book hangover!
Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series by KG Fletcher, and it is a contemporary romance novel. The story is about a young woman whose name is Katie Parker, and a young man whose name is Clay Watkins. The two reunite unexpectedly at their high school 10 year class reunion which is held in Atlanta, Georgia, when Katie literally runs into Clay when she is coming out of the restroom. Katie is an insurance executive and she works late almost every day, and on weekends and holidays, and she hasn’t taken a vacation day in years because she really loves her job. Clay is now known as “Georgia Clay” Watkins because he now lives and works in Nashville as a song writer, and he has written many hit songs for some famous country music artists. Clay has also won a Grammy Award for one of his songs, as well as several different country music awards.
When Clay and Katie look up after their unexpected run in, they appear to be happy to see each other. Clay has had a huge crush on Katie since their senior year in high school because she was one of the few people who were kind and welcoming to him, since it was his first year at the school. Katie remembers Clay as a shy and quiet guy, who was kind of tall and skinny. But she also remembers that at the high school talent show held in the spring, that Clay got up on the stage and blew her and everyone away with his amazing singing voice.
After they recognize each other in the hall of the hotel where the reunion is being held, Clay asks Katie if he can buy her a drink and they head to the bar. Katie cannot believe how much Clay has changed, since he is now broad shouldered, muscular, and very good looking. Clay thinks that Katie is even more beautiful than she was in high school. They decide to leave the reunion to go get something to eat, and end up getting fast food and eating in the back of Clay’s pick-up truck. Clay and Katie are not big talkers, but Katie is impressed by the fact that Clay is a true southern gentleman. He drives them to a secluded spot down near the river that Katie has never seen before, and they end up having a romantic evening together, and Clay even gets up the nerve to kiss Katie. They end up talking and kissing until the middle of the night, and then fall asleep in each other’s arms, waking up early to catch the beautiful sunrise. The couple end up spending the whole day together, until Clay has to leave to drive back to Nashville. Will they end up seeing each other again since they now live four hours away from one another?
I really liked this book by KG Fletcher. I love how she helps us to get to know these main characters on an intimate level, helping the reader to see what good people they are, and pulling for them to get together. I also enjoyed the other characters that we meet along the way. You can tell that Ms. Fletcher knows Nashville and Atlanta, describing these places in great detail through out the book, which helps the reader to see these places in our minds. This is a wonderful romance novel that I loved reading and I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
Linda Gets her Groove Thing is the second book I’ve read in this kooky afterlife series. With bright fun covers and outspoken characters, crazy situations and dirty little funny parts, these are unlike anything you’ve read before! Linda gets all she deserves and more in this story!

I Am Kimberly Cole by R.G. Miller 5 stars My mind is still trying to process this book. It took a little bit to get used to the narration of this book but after a couple chapters I didn’t even notice it was in third person anymore. I cant even say anything about this story for fear of ruining the experience for others, but I so did not see any of what happened, coming at all. I had to read a couple of parts a few times to be sure I read it right. What a story!

The Kitty Committee is a suspense novel by Kathryn Berla AND it is her first novel written for adult readers. I have read her YA story “Going Places” and I absolutely fell in love with her writing so when The Kitty Committee popped up on my radar then I went … hmmm, let’s see how she is when writing to adult readers … She did not disappoint me! Her writing was good as ever … she has given us a story that shows us what far reaching consequences might our decisions have that we take as teenagers, influenced by our friends and loyalties at the time … unfortunately, the decisions and actions of this group of girls, oh my, they have disastrous consequences and the shadow the lives of so many people … I loved how the timeframe kept changing as it kept me sharp and on my toes … I liked that at no point did the writer fall into the ‘language’ of teenagers … I have to say though that at times I had hard time to relate/feel for Grace as I felt that she never really found her feet as a person in her own rights … on the other hand, one could really feel the lasting impact that the act of her youth had on the rest of her life … The writer forces us to think and feel and to understand why we think and feel the way we do … The story is really worth while reading …

Meghan O’Flynn is a new to me author and I’m excited to explore more of her novels, especially the rest of the Ash Park series as Famished is book 1, and I enjoyed it alot! I was a little surprised and put out by the relationships in this story because all of the characters struck me as disconnected from their partners. I didn’t feel any passion or spark, and not just with Hannah. With Noelle as well. This took away from the feelings evoked when tragic events happen, lessening the overall edge of your seat excitement. I think what I liked the absolute most was that all of the characters are eccentric. And I LOVED how many twists are in this story. At no point was I 100% positive who the serial killer was, who was next, or why. 4 out of 5 stars!
Phoenix Rising is the seventh book in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. This is a romantic suspense- with action, adventure, emotion, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, special ops, secrets, loss, guilt, grief, camaraderie, belonging, drama, second chances, intense chemistry, facing fears, and romance. But, let’s face it, Ms. Wade had me at the mention of Daniel Thompson- I have been intrigued by him and his story since meeting him back in book one. So, I was excited to get my hand on this book, reading avidly right from the very first page, till the last word. I was completely hooked- I read it in one sitting and loved every word. I have loved everything about this series, with each book outdoing the one before it- this book has become my favourite out of the series so far- but then I have said that about every book, they are all sooo good. This could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the previous books to get all the relevant backstory and character introductions that will give you a better understanding of the series and characters, and will enhance your reading experience- not to mention that the other six books are fantastic stories in their own right/s. This story picks up where Arctic Fire (Book #6) left off, and centres on Daniel Thompson who is an Ex-SAS Commander and the second in charge of Fortis Security. He is a widower and single father to his adorable daughter Paige. Daniel has had more than his fair share of heartache, carrying the burden of guilt and pain over the death of his wife. He is a man of few words, an alpha with a fiercely protective streak. His number one priority is to ensure his daughter stays safe, and to find a way to avenge his wife’s murder. He isn’t interested in a relationship, focusing on his family and ‘job’. So, he is totally unprepared for the effect that his best friend’s younger sister would have on him. Megan Bennett is a brilliant doctor (scientist) who is coming to terms with being reunited with her loving family after more than 20 years of forced separation. She was raised by a horrible, vile woman- but thanks to Fortis Security who extracted her, she has is now back with her true family. She has had trouble adjusting- never having experienced a loving family environment, belonging, or love. She feels that Daniel is the only one who truly sees ‘her’- and he has captured her heart. But there are secrets that jeopardises everything she holds dear. What does the future hold for her and Daniel? Ms. Wade certainly doesn’t do things by halves, and she certainly makes her characters ‘work’ for any happiness- there were points where I think ‘How much more can they take?”- Daniel and Megan have been through so much, and again in this story they both will be tested. As with every book of Ms. Wade’s that I read, she held the tension, intrigue and suspense at an elevated level throughout the book- and kept me guessing most of the way through- she expertly added twists and surprises that also ramped it up a few more notches. I adored the ending, and that epilogue is everything!!! This is a quick (180pgs), easy and fast-paced read, and is a superb addition to the captivating series! I can’t wait to read Digital Desire, the next book in the series!

I recently was able to read Famished by Meghan O’Flynn, and let me just say what an experience it was. I shouldn’t be surprised, seeing as this is my 2nd book by her. I was kind of ready for it, but then once I started to dive into the story – let’s just say that I was on the edge of my seat.
The book was full of suspense, with an intense plotline. I can’t wait to continue reading this series!!
Georgia Clay is the story of Clay and Katie. Clay is a Nashville song writer and Katie is an insurance guru. Both extremely good at their careers, and more or less married to them. They meet up at their high school reunion and get reacquainted. Their reunion develops into something more. But can they maintain a long-distance relationship? Can Katie learn that other things matter more than work? Can Clay get past his hangups to move his career forward? This was an easy read that is a sweet story.
The Flip is the second book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery, and it s a contemporary romance novel. The story is about a young man named Andrew or “Drew”, and a woman named Sonnet, who are both 29 years old, have known each other since they were young children, and used to hang out at Andrew’s Great Aunt Penny’s house after school and all day during the summer. Sonnet and her parents used to live next door to Penny until her parents sold the house and moved to Florida while Sonnet was in college. Aunt Penny recently died and left her house that is a couple of blocks from the Rehoboth Beach to Andrew and Sonnet. Andrew and Sonnet were “mortal enemies” when they were growing up. Andrew used to tease Sonnet all of the time, especially when his friends were with him. As they got older, Andrew developed a crush on Sonnet, but he would never have let her know about it. Sonnet was a bit overweight, had acne, frizzy hair, and wore thick glasses, back then but she has always been very smart. Sonnet was her high school class’ valedictorian, with Drew coming in second by only a hair. Drew was naturally smart, never having to study, he was the quarterback on the football team, and he could make friends with just about anyone. On graduation day, as Sonnet was walking up to the podium to give her valedictorian speech, Andrew stuck his foot out and tripped Sonnet, causing her to fall across the stage. Sonnet was extremely embarrassed, but she got up and gave her speech, but she’s hated him ever since. Andrew is not too fond of Sonnet either since she always has to be right. When he sees her in the lawyer’s office he is shocked, one of the reasons being because she is so beautiful that he almost doesn’t recognize her. Sonnet has lost a lot of weight, her hair is straight, her skin has cleared up, and she is wearing contact lenses. Sonnet recognizes Drew but he is not as fit as he had been when she last saw him, in fact he’s actually put on a few pounds since high school. After the lawyer gives them each a key to Penny’s house, they realize that if they both want to get the house sold and split the money between them, they must somehow learn to get along and restore this house together. Can Sonnet and Drew get along long enough to flip Aunt Penny’s house?
I really enjoyed this novel from K.L. Montgomery. The chapters were written in Andrew and Sonnet’s point of view which gives the reader a unique insight into what the characters are thinking. All of the characters that we meet in this book have depth and are interesting. The story is interesting, entertaining, is not predictable, and sometimes caused me to laugh out loud. I highly recommend this novel.
Fat Girl is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. It is a contemporary romance novel. The story is about a 39 year old woman named Claire, and she writes a blog on the internet. Claire recently separated from her soon to be ex-husband, Jeremy. Claire has a teenaged son, who is in high school and his name is Elliott. Elliott lives in Lewes, Delaware with his mom, in his grandparents home, while Claire saves money to buy a house for the two of them in the Rehoboth Beach area. Elliott visits his father, who still lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, in the home that Elliott grew up in, one or two weekends a month. Claire found out that her husband was cheating on her when she found a phone in Jeremy’s gym bag, while she was looking for his dirty clothes to put into the wash. When Claire confronted Jeremy about the fact that he was cheating on her, he didn’t even try to deny it. Jeremy was cheating with a young woman who belonged to the same gym that Jeremy and Claire belonged to, and she was much younger than him. Claire had wanted to try to save their marriage, but Jeremy told her that he would plan to still see his mistress, so Claire thought it best to end their marriage, since he clearly didn’t love her any more, since he wanted to keep seeing this woman. Claire felt that maybe Jeremy wouldn’t have started the affair if she wasn’t fat. Claire was now seeing a therapist several times a week, Dr. Dawn, whose office was close to her parents’ home in Lewes, to help her to learn to deal with the end of her marriage and with other problems.
Claire had been fat since she was at least nine years old, and she had been teased and bullied a lot in her childhood because of it. Even her mother, who was tall and thin, like Claire’s younger sister, Emma, gave her a hard time about her weight. These things caused Claire to start an unhealthy habit to lose weight starting when she was a teenager. Claire would hardly eat anything and then exercise like crazy. Sometimes she felt really weak and light-headed because of it, but she would try to ignore that, and carry on with her plan to lose weight. Even though her plan for losing weight was obviously unhealthy, Claire’s mom had to have noticed since Claire was not eating many meals when she was home, but her mother said nothing to Claire about her unhealthy eating and exercising routine. Now that she is living back in Lewe’s, Claire’s best friend, Jean-Marc Tasse, has helped her a lot, too. She could always go to his house to vent or laugh at whatever was bothering her, and he was the first person that she told about the offer that she has gotten to write a column for a famous newspaper in New York.
Claire felt that she was ready to date again, but because she was a writer and she could stay at home to work, she didn’t have the opportunity to meet men. Jean-Marc told her about a dating site, that he uses, and Claire decided to try it out. The first man that she meets from the site is a man named Jack. Jack teaches music at a private school called the Delmarva Academy, he’s 35 years old, divorced, and he has a 3 year old daughter who lives in Texas with her mother. Claire sees Jack about once a week because they feel comfortable getting to know each other and they become friends, but Claire is starting to feel attracted romantically towards him, too. She feels that Jack probably isn’t attracted to her physically because of her weight. Will Claire get the chance to become romantically involved with Jack? Will she begin to deal with her body image issues?
I really enjoyed this book by K.L. Montgomery. I’ve had body image issues my whole life, and was bullied about my weight a lot by my sister, neighborhood kids, and adults. I even dieted in an unhealthy manner during my senior year of high school, losing almost 40 pounds in 3 months. I enjoyed how the author dealt with Claire’s weight issues since I can definitely relate. I believe that this is a wonderful romance novel that everyone would love, and even though it is the first book in the series, it is definitely a stand-alone novel.

Georgia Clay, by K.G. Fletcher, is the first book of the Southern Promises series. The setting is a class reunion and the question always comes what could possible happen?! Two classmates reunite and sparks abound and the journey begins. The story had a true southern feel to it throughout the novel. You could feel the accents running off the characters and the behaviors evident in their actions. I could not put this story down and read it start to finish in one setting. I really enjoyed the characters and the obstacles they each had to overcome. The author didn’t force the story and you could feel it noting the flow stayed consistent. Beautifully written and looking forward to seeing what’s next in this series.
Linda Gets Her Groove Thing is the second novella in the Green Room Chronicles by J.D. Frettier. This comedic read continues with the theme of the series and was a quick and fun read. The story is light and goes faster than anticipated, yet enjoyable and a laugh to partake. Linda’s character was a riot and the antics that go on the Green Room cannot compare to any other story I’ve read. Thoroughly enjoyed this book/series.

Laura A. Barnes’ Rescued by the Spy is the second book in the Romancing the Spies series; this historical romance follows secondary characters introduced earlier in the series: Raina and Charles. This story provides excellently written suspense and adventure while including a steady mix of tension, attraction and romance. The author sets the stage with scenes that grip your imagination, pulling you into the past as you embark on the journey these characters are trailing upon. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a historical novel that captured my interest as well as this novel/series has. Laura A. Barnes is a talented author and does an incredible job in adding the historical elements to make the story have that realistic aspect to it. Overall, a great story!

Degrees of Innocence (A Prestian Series Book 1) by Via Mari
5 Stars
Ok not sure why I’ve never read anything by this author before now, but I will be fixing that immediately. I can not wait to start book 2 in this series and will be doing that as soon as I’m done with this review.
Chase is one of my very favorite kind of book boyfriends…Bossy, Controlling, Possessive, and most of all caring and loving. I loved loved loved how he and Katarina met. I loved the emailing part of the whole interacting with each other. Kind of reminds me of another series, and also one of my favorite parts of that.
This book had everything I love, a strong female lead that did all she could to resist the controlling alpha at every turn. The many twists and turns in this story were all placed perfectly and the last one totally came out of left field for me, never even had a thought about who was involved in that one.
There are still so many unanswered questions about these two and I can’t wait to dig in and see if I can get some answers. So looking forward to all of the next 3 books and also checking out what else this author has available.
Highly recommend starting this series, it is a well written, sitting on the edge of your seat kind of read, and I’m pretty sure there will be some kindle throwing in the future of these books.

The Eye of the Storm by Amy McKinley is the second book in the Gary Ghost Novel series, and let me tell you, this book was amazing! Reading the Blurb, I knew this book would be romance, and thrilling all in one and that drew me in before I even started reading. Then once I read, I was able to get lost a little more into the world of Chris and Mari. Chris and Mari both stumble on each other in the Jungle. Mari, lost but strong needs help and Chris lost and having no memory yet knows his way around to keep them safe. Being that they both NEED to trust each other, they embark in an adventure. Mari and Chris grow closer despite the enemies on their trail, I found myself nervous. When they grew closer, my heart was happy. I love books that can grab my emotions and this one sure did! I give this books 5 stars and know many will enjoy it like I did!

Degrees of Innocence is the first book in the Prestian series, and debut novel by Via Mari. It is a romantic suspense that’s full of action, danger, secrets, hidden agendas, humour, and some mystery. Katerina Meilers (Kate) is a design consultant who has has been hired to help design a new state of the art medical facility in Chicago. As part of the planning process the whole team has been flown to Aruba where they will spend the week on a brainstorming and design forum. Kate has arrived a few days ahead of time to get things set up and ready for the coming week. An unusual crisis on her first night on the island introduces her to a very sexy and charming man who she can’t stop thinking about. They end up having dinner together the next night and exploring the island. The chemistry between them is electric. She thinks there may just be a chance at finding something special with him. So, imagine her surprise to find on Monday morning as the team assembles and introductions are made, to find the man of her dreams is the billionaire owner of the Corporation that has hired her for this project. She doesn’t date colleagues, let alone her boss- ever. But what happens when dangerous situations occur that seem to target Kate specifically? Has it got something to do with chase and his ‘business’? Or is it something more sinister? This was a really great story that easily pulled me in and kept me engrossed the whole way through. I loved the chemistry between these two, Ms. Mari built the tension beautifully. The same with the suspense- she definitely had me guessing and trying to figure out what was happening. The only thing that thought could do with a little improvement is that the sex scenes, particularly the first 75%, seemed quite awkward- like the author felt quite uncomfortable about writing them. The language used in those scenes also didn’t match the rest of the book and seemed a little old fashioned. It did improve a towards the end, so maybe the author was gaining confidence. It seemed to be a bit of a teething problem which will hopefully get better over time…. I hope that is the case for the rest of the books in the series (which are all available now). Also, there were some points in the story where the transitions seemed a little abrupt, clipped or stilted- but again I am putting that down to the author ‘finding her feet’. The story itself is really great and I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

Charlotte is the seventh book in the Dr. Richard’s Littles series by Pepper North. I will admit that this book isn’t something that I would normally read, but it showed up on my feed and curiosity got the better of me. This is part of a series that focuses on characters in the ‘littles’ community, those that ‘age play’ and immerse themselves in that lifestyle. Age play is where an adult chooses to live their life as an infant, a toddler, a child, or a teenager- and have another adult as their care giver, playing the part of their mother or father. This book/series also explores the reasons why someone might choose to become a little or a caregiver. Because this is my first read from this author I can’t say what the other books in the series are about, but this book contained romance, some drama, kink, and graphic/erotic sex scenes.
Charlotte is a college graduate of interior design, but has struggled to find work in her field. Things are getting desperate and she really needs to find a job- this leads her to a cashier’s position at Gordon’s (a store that caters to the Littles community)- where she meets Benton and a whole ‘new’ world opens up before her.
I loved meeting Charlotte and Benton- this is definitely a character driven plot- that has a sweet story as well. Although not my usual fare, I am happy I kept an open mind and explored the Littles world. I would definitely read another of Ms. North’s books again, she writes really well- and there are over 20 in this series to choose from.
A quick and easy read!
Thank you, Ms. North!

She does it again! AM Myers has written Hopelessly Devoted, which has me completely enthralled. This story is book one in the Bayou Devils MC series and I’m so glad it is the very first book! I am utterly captivated and I could not put this book down! Alison or as she is called Ali is a reporter for a local newspaper when all hell breaks loose and she quits her job! Just as soon as she does that she is offered an even better position for a lifestyle blog, which puts her in a very viral and public position. Storm is the hottie neighbor next door with the sweetest pup named Bear. It’s because of Bear that these two meet. Instant attraction is what brings these two together. Storm however, has a very sad and very dramatic past with women, which means that he tries to fight tooth and nail to stay away from Ali…but of course that doesn’t happen. Ali also has a sorted past with men that makes her want to be very cautious of Storm. That is until they can’t fight it anymore and well…Ali gets a stalker. This book has so many twists and turns! That’s one of the reasons I love it so much! Now, when these two get together, the sexy scenes become scorching hot! They are graphic enough to give you the right amount of imagination. I also love the authors writing style. I felt like I was a part of the story and it was an incredible journey! I love what this MC is all about too! I can’t wait for the next books in the series!

Myers – Review by Melissa Agena
Hopelessly Devoted is the first book in A.M. Myers’ Bayou Devils MC series and it was my first encounter with the writer. I absolutely love MC stories and I am delighted to add A.M. Myers to the list of writers that I follow! The second and third book in the series, here I come (and the fourth book is just around the corner as well – a lot of goodness I can see in my future)! Hopelessly Devoted is the story of Logan “Storm” Chambers and Alison James. Both of them carry deep wounds and at times it feels that at least Storm might be broken beyond redemption. This story gives us all and I forewarn you, keep a box of tissues at hand when you start on it. The story rips your heart out and then builds it up again … I know, at times you feel like you cannot breathe anymore and you wish for the story to come to a conclusion but I promise you, once you do finish, you will feel like it was just a moment and you are left craving for more. Luckily, there are couple of more stories out in the series so go ahead and satisfy that craving!
