Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh, my goodness this story is so good. If you like to read about insta-love and soul mates with a little mystery added in, then this is definitely the book for you!

Main character, Katrina, discovers many things about herself throughout this story. One thing she discovers is how strong she is with the birth of her son, Toby. Main character, TJ, also learns a few things about himself. He learns to trust the process.

Katrina and TJ meet under strenuous circumstances and feel a connection immediately. But since both have had their hearts broken, they are leery about taking a chance on romance, even though the attraction and pull to each other is so strong.

Katrina has a few secrets that she isn’t so sure TJ can handle. And she can’t handle TJ leaving her. But her secrets are slowing killing her and those she loves. TJ knows something is going on with Katrina, but he doesn’t know how to help her, especially since she isn’t sharing her problems with him.

This story teaches the main characters and the reader to trust the process, seek help, and know that everyone is suffering from something. We are ok. You are ok.

Levi (The Brothers of Creekside Ranch Book 1) by Edith Mackenzie reviewed by Shannon Fowler

LeviLevi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story has a sad start, a sad under-lying reason for Levi and Bella to meet. While the reason is sad the rest of the story line and characters are sweet, fun and oh so cute. I really liked how these two characters needed each other and then that need turned into something else altogether. And in such a short amount of time.

This trio of brothers and their sister will make for some very fun stories. Doesn’t everyone love a cowboy? A family man? Levi is just what we need. He’s rough and tough and needs the kindness that Bella brings to the table. She also brings the love that only a female can give, both to Levi and his siblings.

This author’s way with words keeps you engrossed in the story. Even with the sweet story there is a touch of danger since the Russian Mafia is involved. Thankfully Levi is ex-Navy Seal so he should be able to save the girl and the day!!

Hopefully the rest of the family finds their happily ever afters sooner rather than later!!

Tickety Tock: Wicked Warriors MC Arizona ChapterTickety Tock: Wicked Warriors MC Arizona Chapter by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the stories that this author writes. She has many different series and while each one is set in a different area they will sometimes overlap. Each story in each series can be read as a standalone. Each story is about a different member of the club.

Tickety Tock is book one in the Wicked Warriors MC Arizona Chapter. This story is a little different than most of Mellett’s stories to date, in that there seems to be a haunting and Dwarf needs to find the truth behind it. Whether you are a believer or not this story is well written and doesn’t seem to be trying to convince the reader either way. The haunting is almost too much!

The characters in Mellett’s stories always seem to be looking for validation and love, kinda like real life. The characters of Dwarf and Raven don’t think they are looking for love until they meet each other and discover they need the other.

Looking forward to more from the rest of the club members.

Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1).Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1). by Carsen Lane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a good story. I love stories with a happy ending. When the main couple can ride off into the sunset after defeating whatever demons they needed to. That’s my usual happily ever after. Grace is the main character in this story and even though the ending is a little different than my usual, Grace does eventually ride off into the sunset.

Dealing with your past and even your current demons is a tough thing to do. Finding a safe outlet for your anger, fear and even confusion, is healthy. Grace was able to find that outlet in the underground fighting ring where her father use to fight. The ring is where Grace finds peace even though it went against what she thought her parents wanted for her. Grace finds it hard to live up to some self-perceived expectations.

This story was my first by this author and I am glad there is going to be more. I want to know what happens to the other people in Grace’s life. Recommend this story.

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Welcome back to the Mafia Elite life. This story is about Hailey and the good doctor, Trey. Even though these two have met before and the timing was off, the spark was ignited within them both. And Fate began to work her magic.

I love how “innocent” Trey seems, like he doesn’t notice all of the nurses trying to be next to him or catch his eye. How sweet he is. He wants to save everyone. He understands he can’t but he sure tries to. Even Hailey needs to be saved.

Hailey will do anything to prove to her family she isn’t a waste, to prove she is worthy. She has a crappy family, a mother who doesn’t know she’s there and a step father who is sneaky and slimy. Hailey didn’t know she needed saving until her plan backfires. It seems the good doctor is ready to save the day.

This story should be read in order as it is book 6 and while it can be read as a standalone, reading the other books will give you a better feel for the closeness of the family. I love this series and look forward to the next one.

The Wolf's Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files #1)The Wolf’s Shadow by Cecilia Dominic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really like finding books by new to me authors. Cecilia Dominic is one of those authors. This story has a great story line and is easy to follow even with the questions that arise while Joanie Fisher tries to figure out what happened to her grandfather, her lab and the strange feelings she has about the things happening around her.
The characters in this story are very easy to like, of course except those bad guys, once we discover who they really are. The universe of werewolves isn’t a new one, but this story takes a different look at it.
Since this story was so good, I will definitely read more from this author. Long Shadows is book 2 and I am ready to start reading it and see what happens to Lonna

Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series (Books 1-5) by KG Fletcher – Review by Shannon Fowler

Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series (Books 1-5)Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This boxset includes 5 great books! Each one about a new couple, each one focusing on hope and love.
While I recommend this entire series, two of the books stood out for me, Book 2, Stars Fall from the Sky and Book 5, A Cold Creek Christmas.
Book 2 is a heartbreaking story from the start! All the elements of a great story: heartache, confusion, sadness, hope, joy, love and peace.

Ginger is a character that I could relate to. I felt her sadness at the turn of events her life took. Jonathan’s guilty feelings were justifiably on point as well. Grief has no timetable and affects everyone so differently. Fletcher hits on these points precisely.

While this is book two in the Reigning Hearts Series, it can be read as a standalone. References are made to the couple from the first book but not enough to distract from this storyline. I suggest reading this story with some tissues handy.

Then there’s book 5, A Cold Creek Christmas which is super sweet and super cute. It is a fast read as it is a novella with instant attraction. The characters are easy to love and there is no real bad guy or evil lurking in this story. Yes, the main character had a sad life, heart breaking even, but she survived. Luckily Gio is there to help Amber learn what she has been missing.

The best quote is from Mama Sentieri
“Only you can make a choice to live a life of joy or regret.”

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the third book in this series and the perfect ending for these Underground Bad Boys. Gage, Ten and Juliet are under dogs in this story. But they are also the sexy team that pulls this story together. Ten and Juliet are the best of friends with the hint of wanting something more. When they are introduced to Gage in the most interesting of ways, the wanting increases and includes Gage.

Thanks to a bad choice, a target is place on Ten and in turn Juliet. Gage may be their only hope at success. However, Ten and Juliet in return, save Gage from himself. When a person, fictional or real, has a past that they feel has broken them, Juliet said it best:

“It’s not important who we were, but who we are now and in the future.”

This story was easy to read and follow. Even though it is the third in the series, it can be read as a standalone. There are appearances by Knox and Locke from the first two books in this series, which if you haven’t read, will just make you want to read them.

I definitely recommend this book, series and author. This series is erotic in nature and is not recommended for readers under 18 or those with delicate sensibilities.

As always, I read this book in one sitting, this author has a way with storytelling that makes me what to read cover to cover. I love her mafia series and this story is no different. The characters, Summer and Luc can handle anything thrown their way. Which is exactly what brings them together. First by chance and then by another chance. This is a stranger to friends to lovers kind of story. And it is pretty perfect.

“We were at a precipice. The lives we lived were over, and our next adventure had only begun.” ~Summer

This is exactly how life moves. From one adventure to the next. Childhood to adulthood. Marriage to children to empty nest. What will be our next adventure be? What adventure will this author bring to Summer and Luc?

“It was awe, love, and pride, and somehow seeing it on his features and allowing myself to feel it, too, released those emotions from the padlocked box inside of me. It was time to stop hiding from him and from myself.” ~Summer

Looking forward to the next in this series and wondering where the author will take us next!

Depending On YouDepending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall

I really liked this story. While the writing was easy to read the subject matter was a little difficult. And sometimes difficult is what we need. We need to discuss the difficult things in life. We need to discuss and then find a way to move on and live. “The whole part of living is finding people worth risking it all for.” I believe Cate and Patti have found that connection.

The women have a secret. However, not all secrets are good. Secrets can cause hurt and suffering. They certainly cause more confusion and misunderstanding. Patti and Cate learn this but after 20 years. This story tells about their secret, how it gets discovered and the consequences of having kept it quiet for so long.

“Sometimes the greatest tragedies are followed by the greatest joy.” Patti and Cate’s greatest joy comes many years later in life. I believe their friendship and re-discovery is their greatest joy.

I can definitely recommend this author and this story.

Book four continues the story of the Mafia Elite. This is Elena and Marco’s story. Elena’s been in hiding but it’s time for her to rediscover her friends and family. With Marco’s help Elena learns many secrets about her past, some including Marco.

This author has given us two more sweet and sexy characters who have their own secrets, their own desires, and their own special way of handling whatever the Mafia life throws their way.

I enjoyed this story; however, I didn’t find Elena the same kind of strength as the past leading female characters, you know, her friends, Sof, Lil, and Em. El is strong in that she survived a life of secret, hidden away from family and friends, she survived many things so her strength shows through in her determination. Marco, however, shows his strength and determination in finding and saving El, more than once and every time she needs him. This author can certain write strong and sexy male characters!

This series must be read in order and is so worth it.

This genre, women’s historical fiction, isn’t new to me even though this author is. This author has a very easy writing style. I found this story very entertaining and rich in history. It was also informative with just enough history that I didn’t skip pages like I might have during my history class in high school.

Lizbeth is the main character and she is a curious busy body, in my opinion. Which helps while she is discovering all there is to learn about her ancestors. Her good intentions make her an easy character to love. Following Lizbeth on her adventure to discover the truth about her family is far from easy, as racism is never easy.

However, Brant is only in town to serve a 3-year internship. This is another cute sweet story that will make Ashliee Knapp a certifiable one-click author! If you have not read any of her books you could very easily pick this one to start with. There is some back story told about CC’s friends which are books 1 and 2 in this series but each book is about a new couple. The other stories are a must read as well. I don’t think there is any one thing that I love about this book, it is just an over all good story. I can definitely recommend this story to readers young and old alike.

I love how she figures out she is strong enough when needed but still able to lean on the ones she loves.

The extra characters of Gorgonita and PK were fun to read about. Being able to assist Vanessa in her adventure to fill the box makes these characters even more lovable. Reading about each god and his ability and connection with Vanessa was hot and not safe for work. The ending to this story certainly gave closure for neighbor Dorian, Vanessa’s family and her soul.

This is not my first book by McKinley but definitely one of my favorites. This story is book 2 in the Mafia Elite Series. You first meet these characters in the first book, No Way Out, and it should really be read first. The actions of other characters lead up to the actions of Sofia and Enzo.

Since this is not my first book by Sherwood, I was hoping that Unlikely to Fit would leave me smiling and my heart warm and full, just like her other books. In the craziness of real life, it is good to have a go to author to make you feel good! Olivia Sherwood is my go to goodness!

Breckin and Griff have had their hearts broken by their previous loves. Neither one is looking to start over. Their adventure is a fun one to read.
Griff’s grandmother steals the show most of the time which causes Griff and Breckin to come together.

This is the second book in the series but it could be read as a stand alone. However, I suggest reading book one first as there are some references to the main characters, Annie and Wyatt. The main characters from book one are the best friends of Breckin and Griff. (Plus Sherwood writes a great story!)

Cursed Luck is book 5 in the Broderick Coven series. This series must be read in order as it follows the lives of the Broderick siblings. Cursed Luck stars Edward Broderick, the lone wolf of the siblings. Edward believes he is destined to be alone. His powers of “luck” are soley reserved for the people he can help and not himself. Mia is a character from previous stories and while she too is a witch, she connects her powers through the earth and nature.

While there is no real “bad” guy in this story Edward and Mia must battle their own personal demons to find their happily ever after.

Many sexy scenes, so not recommended for those under 18 yrs. I always enjoy reading the stories by AJ Renee and look forward to the rest of the siblings stories!

This story does end in a cliffhanger which is not a happy ending type cliff hanger at all. On the plus side, good for us readers, there will be more!
