Duplicity (St. Fleur, #3)Duplicity by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Duplicity is the third book in the St. Fleur series by AJ Renee and I have been waiting to read the story about Jamie Lynn and Jesse. Duplicity is a contemporary romance and is a beautiful love story where one of the two main characters have let their past affect their future. As with the first two books AJ did not disappoint, it is just as captivating and engaging.

Jamie Lynn owns the pub in town and hired Jesse to work as a bartender. She knew she was in trouble when she first laid eyes on him and would be a mistake to hire him but hire him she did. Jamie Lynn is unable to let go of her past in which she believes everyone leaves her and because of this she doesn’t let anyone in, not even her friends.

Jesse is a man who had his future ripped away from him. In order to move on he needs to leave behind his past. When he applies for the job of a bartender in St. Fleur he hopes he can leave his past behind. When he meets Jamie Lynn he hopes she may be the answers he has been looking for. The attraction between the two is instant but Jesse has no idea what he may have done or why Jamie Lynn won’t take the next step with him.

Will Jamie Lynn finally let her guard down? Will she finally let Jessie in? Will Jessie finally find out the truth? Can Jessie get Jamie Lynn to change her mind? Will Jessie finally break down the walls?

This series and this book will make you laugh out loud at the situations and antics that these characters get up to. These Alpha men will have you heart breaking. The friendships that are family will have you believing you are a part of their world. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Always Mine (St. Fleur #2) by A.J. Renee – Review by Jenni Bishop

Always Mine (St. Fleur #2)Always Mine by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the St, Fleur series and I have been waiting to read this book since I finished the first, Widows Aura. Whilst it can be read as a stand alone I strongly suggest you read them in order to get the full effect and understanding of the characters. Widows Aura left off with Sofia & Noah getting engaged and their story continues in this book.

Lindsey is the sexy librarian who is dating Derek, a sweet man but she can’t shake the unknown feelings and familiarity of Marc the sexy friend of her neighbour, Noah. There is some great chemistry between the two but they have a love hate relationship and they seem to antagonise the hell out of each other without even trying. Lindsey finds herself smack dab in the middle of a love triangle without even trying. Add a stalker to the mix and you have one scared, confused and a once strong woman now fighting to keep her independence and possibly her life.

Marc’s desire for Lindsey is unexplainable yet familiar and once they make the connection he knows why. He has never forgotten the girl from his past his first love. Once he knows the truth he decides he has to have her and will stop at nothing to have her. Marc is ever the perfect man and loves unconditionally all those he cares about. He will also go out of his way to ensure all he loves is kept out of harm’s way. Whilst trying to solve the mystery surrounding the stalker Noah’s past comes crashing back in a way he never saw coming which could leave his relationship with Lindsey in trouble.

Once again AJ has written a story that that pulls you into the lives of each and every character and making you feel like you are with them every step of the way. The story is weaved nicely together with lots of suspense, suspects around the corner, tears, fears, love, laughter and great friendship with lots of hot and steamy romance. I look forward to reading more from AJ in the future and sharing the stories of those to come.

Widower’s Aura (St. Fleur #1) by A.J. Renee – Review by Jenni Bishop

Widower's Aura (St. Fleur #1)Widower’s Aura by A.J. Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sofia has gifts one that allows her to read other people’s aura’s which has helped her on more than one occasion. She left behind a job that was not healthy for her any longer and decided to start a new in a place called St Fleur. Sofia decides to open her own photography business which after two years is doing quite well. Sofia is a loving soul who draws people to her and she is one of the most loved people in her town. With her besties by her side she is content with her lot. Her Besties have her back and she has theirs. Together they are funny and my type of friends that will have you laughing out loud. One night she looks into the face of a stranger, one too hot to trot man she can’t take her eyes off of. Turns out to hot to trot is the one Lindsey one of her besties has been telling her about, the new hot neighbour.

Noah is hot and so oblivious to the affect he has on woman. He finds himself mesmerized by the beautiful woman he first laid eyes on not long after getting to his new hometown and is determined to stay away. But staying away is much harder than he thought when his daughter Lexi throws a spanner into the works.

I loved the alpha men in this story, so possessive and protective of what they perceive as theirs that had me laughing at them and the woman trying to put them in their place. This book was engaging and had me captivated from the start until the finish. It is a lighthearted love story that has a little mystery, suspense and some drama. I loved all the characters but I just loved Lindsey and Mark’s interaction, that always left me with a smile on my face. With the steam coming of Noah and Sofia it was sizzling, the chemistry was just off the charts. There are also times when you find yourself breaking for some of these characters that you want to wrap them in cotton wool. I am certainly hoping to enjoy the second book as much as I have this one. AJ has written a good book and you should certainly be adding it to your book list.
