I never hesitate to pick any book up from this author! I loved this one more than the first (Royally Complicated), and that’s a rare thing! Lev and Daphne have such a captivating chemistry that you’ll feel the tension jump right off the pages. The level of emotions you feel from them is incredible. I love how strong (and stubborn) Daphne is throughout this story because Lev sure doesn’t know how to handle her at first. Also, there are steamy scenes in here to die for. I highly recommend picking this up and giving it a chance, but don’t forget to pick up the first as well to get a little more back story on everyone involved!

This book follows two of the characters we met in the first book…Lev and Daphne. These two couldn’t be more opposite if they tried! Their banter had me laughing out loud…and the steaminess what H-O-T!
Daphne is not ready to return to a country where her best friend won’t be by her side…and Lev is ready for a vacation while the Prince and Princess are away. What neither of them expect is that they will spending it together since they have a love-to-hate each other relationship. What ensues is funny, dramatic, endearing, and (at times) frustrating!
Just like the first book in the series, this one is filled with twists and turns that you may not see coming. It is also amazingly written and I couldn’t put it down! These authors make magic on the pages and I am here for it!

Shirl and her friend are back to teach us about constellations. What a fun story. I loved the information about the constellations and the pictures. The stories are always so very informative. It’s another favorite in this household.

Thought provoking. Informative. Inspirational. This is the first book I have read by the talented Janice Pratt and honestly, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect which led to a huge surprise. Amaleigha is an American third grade student. Her teacher Mr. Bowels has exciting news about the class having pen pals across the world in the Ukraine. Throughout the book her class learns about the Ukraine, their customs and history between waiting for their next letters. Suddenly, Vova, her pen pal and several others are saying the same things that the news is. Russia has declared war on Ukraine, and they don’t know when they can write again. Determined to try and help Amaleigha and her class work together to help their new friends. This book covers several levels of curiosity. About other countries outside your own, the customs and traditions of others, empathy for others, and finding ways to help when you feel too small to do anything. I read this book to my two sons, eleven and six, and they both started asking more questions, asking if it was real, if it was still happening and if we could do anything to help. This book helps children understand that just because we live in different places and do things differently it doesn’t mean we are different. Amaleigha instantly saw the similarities in her and Vova. The book doesn’t necessarily have an end, but it ends with a prayer. For the children, families, and people of Ukraine.

What is worse that could happen when you run away from your problems at home to a foreign country and have hate sex? Having hate sex with your best friend’s new husband’s best friend. Daphne never had intentions of staying in Lovolia longer than the wedding but when things change with Lev Daphne has no choice. The chemistry between the two is off the chart but they are worse than gasoline to a fire!! This book is great. Many different twists and turns that you never can predict what will happen next! Can’t wait to see what this author comes out with next.

Everyone has a version of the supernatural and this author is no different. The world she has built is a wonder. This book is an enemy to lovers. This was the first book of this series that I read. I’ll definitely be going back and reading the rest.

I thought this book was as great way to start a new series. It is an interesting take on an ex-military character. I can’t recall another book that it is the female character who was in the military, let alone a sniper. I engaged with the story easily and became invested in the characters pretty quickly. I liked the fact the author didn’t shy away from the PTSD element of the book. This author is one that I have become recently familiar with and this is another one of her books I can say I thoroughly enjoyed. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.

This was my first book by Gwyn and I have to say I am now a fan for sure. This is the first in the series even though this is a stand alone series, this book is a great start! The characters are everything you ask for and more. The story is a romantic story with all the witty elements you need for love. I cannot wait to read the second story!

Once again, I loved another addition of the Master’s of the Consulate series. Master Campania and the other purebloods are still on the hunt for rogue witches and shifters. Campania seeks information from local witches who have left their coven. What he doesn’t realize is that the witch he finds will have a connection to him. Willow is a powerful witch who has left her coven due to not agreeing with the leader. She is hoping to just live her life peacefully but knows exactly who Campania is when he walks into the bar. Very quickly they move from enemies to lovers. However, Campania always doubted the witches because of the history the vampires have with them. Even though both feel the psychic connection, he speaks of the lack of trust which breaks Willow’s heart. In the end, both realize what needs to be done and how they need each other to survive this life. This isn’t the last installment of this series so does end with their story finished, but another will take place. As usual, I loved their story. These books are short, sweet, entertaining, to the point, with a little romance involved. Both characters were loveable. The couple had great banter and chemistry. I can’t wait for the next one.

Lev is the stoic bodyguard, ready to protect the Prince Fynix so when Fyn met Bridget on the private his life has not been the same. Although Fyn is happy with Bridget, she bring baggage with her in her best friend Daphne who is the royal pain in the bum to Lev. Can the grumpy bodyguard become friends with this annoying American or will they kill each other?
Daphne has become a staple at the Palace but when a brief encounter with the grumpy bodyguard leave her frustrated and confused, so when Bridget and Fyn go on honeymoon Daphne has a secret and can’t go home she decides to sneak into the private villa of Fyn but unbeknownst to her, Lev is relaxing there. Can they put there away there dislike for each other aside and realise that there is actually an attraction.
This is the second book in this series and although this mainly revolves around Daphne and Lev you could read this as a stand alone story but if would be advisable to read the first book as it gives you the background the characters and how they have together.
The chemistry from the two main characters jumps right off the page and opens up Lev as a character as in the first book he is very shut down person but you get at more of the history and how his family become involved with the Royal family in Lovolia. Daphne was a strong character in the first book but this book shows the vulnerable side of her which it seems not many people see.
The twists and turns that occur in the story, keeps the story moving and flows brilliantly. The secondary characters enhances the book and with the beautiful descriptions of the landscape you feel that the land is a character all of its own. I can’t to read the next book in this sequence as you can’t leave the ending like that, I need to know me.

I recommend that you pick up this book and also a box of tissues. This book is so emotionally-wrenching (in a good way) that you will feel like you are experiencing life right along with Julie and the twins. I became so wrapped-up in this story that I did not want it to end. If you are looking for a book that will take you along for the ride and make you feel ALL the feels, then this is for you. A unique story of becoming a parent that you don’t have to actually be a parent to appreciate and love. A book has not made me feel so deeply such a range of emotions in a long time. I guarantee that you will fall in love with Julie, and the people who come in and out of her life, and will be recommending this book to everyone in yours.

Russian and Royally Complicated was straight fire! I enjoyed the previous book immensely but this book demolished me. I loved it! It was wild, steamy, edge of your seat inducing, and full of the best snark imaginable. An enemies to lovers romance Lev and Daphne were destined to fall in love or kill each other and I was absolutely enthralled once I started to read it. I really appreciated the two of them having dedicated chapters so you could understand both of their perspectives throughout the book. It’s also a stand alone romance but these characters are introduced in book one, so it can be read by itself or as part of a series. These authors are phenomenal and I am totally committed to anything, hopefully more royally complicated books, but more things they publish in the future!

This is book 7 of the Masters of the Consulate series and these books just keep getting better and better. As the Masters get closer to bringing down the rogue vampires the story really keeps you on the edge of your seat. And with this being a paranormal romance there is a fated mates element too in the form of Master Campania and Willow. Master Campania is a confirmed bachelor, never wanting to settle down with a woman until he meets Willow. However, everything says they shouldn’t be together, the main reason being he is a vampire and Willow is a witch. With bad blood between them can they even trust each other enough to make a relationship work? Their connection is so strong and the chemistry between them is so hot that both parties could end up burning in the flames. Campania searches Willow out to help him find the witches that are helping the rogue vampires and shifters who are determined to destroy the life that the vampires have created. However he gets more than he anticipated when he finally gets his witch.
This story is fast paced and full of action as well as high emotions. The writing really drags you into the story making you feel every confusing emotion that Campania and Willow go through on their path to discovering what they mean to each other. The story ends setting us up perfectly for the next book. Will the Masters of the Consulate finally be able to rid themselves of the rogue vampires and threat to their way of life or will they escape again? And what part do the witches play? I have a feeling that there is something deeper going on with the witches and the side the choose.

5 Star’s Russian and Royally Complicated (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson
Russian and Royally Complicated is the second book in The Crowned Hearts Series and is a Enemies to Lover’s Romance that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. These two authors are two of my favorites and when they write together Holy Smokes! This is Lev and Daphne’s story and wowzers you thought the first book was sizzling hot you haven’t seen nothing yet. These two meet at their best friends Fyn and Bridget’s wedding. The chemistry between them is off the charts but they’re both ignoring the pull between. There’s plenty of drama, secret, friendship, enemies and so much more packed into this must read . I don’t want to accidentally give away anything from the story so I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I would also recommend reading the previous book if you haven’t already started as its just as good as this one. I can’t wait to read more from these authors.

Dead Keen was an amazing mix of romance and thriller read. It was definitely a page turner for me. The book had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next. The book was action packed. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning. The world building and characters was well thought of.

My favorite things about this book: a female Marine sniper, a retired military war dog, and an author not afraid to tackle the very difficult topic of PTSD.
This book had it’s hooks in me from the get go. There is a series of suicides happening in the small community of Eider and they all seem to be connected. It’s up the sheriff’s department, along with the feds, to try to figure this out. Nic is bound and determined that she’s going to be the one to crack this case. Her demons keep getting in the way and putting her in harm’s way too.
Eider Police Detective Con O’Hanlon (I laughed everytime I read his name even though it’s shortened…a con as a police detective) may be the only thing that can stand in the line of fire when these demons come back to haunt Nic. She’s got to be willing to let him in to do that though!
Very well written story that has your turning pages as quickly as possible, yet also not wanting the story to end!

Lev and Daphne are like fire and ice. They clash at the wedding, and again later. Lev in the beginning is a character you love to hate at first. Then you slowly warm up to him the more you learn about his background. Daphne, I loved from the get go. If I had met her in real life she definitely would’ve been my best friend. I adored her from the beginning. Watching those two was entertaining. I loved every single moment of it!

Atonement: The McIntire County Series Book 1 By : Winter Austin Review by: Susan Ratchford 4 Stars
Wonderful book. I can’t wait to continue this series because I could feel every word Ms. Austin wrote. You could tell how much she cared about this story, about the message she was sending. It bled through every word. This isn’t my normal genre but something about Austin’s passion drew me to this book and I never looked back! Very thoughtful and thought provoking! Packed with plenty of suspense, mystery, and thrills, Atonement speaks for itself in volumes! My next trip into McIntire County can’t come soon enough! Highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a story that will make you think about life differently and have so much more respect for what people go through and what they might be hiding.

Mina & Wesley were the best of friends growing up and both felt a terrible loss when Wesley suddenly moved. It’s been years, they’re back in each other’s lives but everything is different now. Or is it?
It takes a lot to rebuild your social standing and when you are torn between maintaining your position and figure it out if you can still be friends with someone who meant so much to you but disappeared, there is a lot of pressure. Private school has been great for Mina, but now what.
I truly felt all the emotions Mina and Wes were going through. I found myself wanting to listen to their struggles, be supportive and cheer them on as they went through a whole variety of situations both separate and together. This book kept my interest and made me excited to keep reading as I was incredible curious what would happen next.

This.bokm is an angst second chance, rockstar Romance with characters that have explosive and undeniable chesnitry. The characters each have their own baggage to work through. And normally that would pull people apart but it works for them. Their connection is strong and believable. I thought the story was got to read. It was engaging and I enjoyed it the whole way through. This is definitely a book worth reading and I would recommend it.

This book is an interesting and intriguing story. And for a Thriller, I thought it had an unusual but likeable focus on the characters and their relationships. It added a depth to the story that I don’t often see in this type of book. I thought the story itself was well written. It was dull of mystery and suspenseful and really knew how to keep the pages turning. This book can ties in with a series but can easily be read as a standalone..this is a great story that I would recommend reading.
Just wow!!! Lev and Daphne are absolutely combustible right from the very start!! Enemies full of fire, comebacks and quips you just knew their story was going to be one not to be missed. I loved everything about this book. The characters, the storyline and the emotions these very talented authors pull out of their readers, just absolutely everything.

Whew this one had me back and forth with my emotions towards every single character in it.
College is in full swing for Aspen and Phoenix and the rest of the group of “elites” we’ve met in previous books. We learn a lot in this story about these 2. Phoenix is having trouble with his grades and he’s too stubborn and embarrassed to accept help from those offering. He and his twin aren’t close like they have been and it’s throwing him off balance. Add in his grandfather and the things with Aspen and he’s a pressure cooker ready to explode with stress.
Aspen, while I can relate to a lot of things with her and also like she sticks up for herself in most situations, I felt a small disconnect but it may just be “age and thought” differences.
Overall I was hooked and couldn’t put this down and the ending, ugh what a cliffhanger!

Oscar and Emmy Lose a Friend (Oscar and Emmy Series) by Terri Sabol. This book is so good for kids aged 5-11 who have pets and have to go thru the horrible part of losing that pet. Oscar and Emmy are 2 pet cats and they are very well cared for. Their children have found a stray cat outside and they have been feeding it. Oscar and Emmy’s owners have taken it to the vet to get it fixed and they are doing their best to take care of it. When they notice its health declining their owners take it to the vet again and have to make the horrible decision to euthanize. This book will help kids process the awful process of losing a pet and the aftermath of it. This would make a great gift for a family mourning their pet.
