Michael’s Heart is a beautiful romance by Lori Thomas Harrington. This story had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. This is the first book I have read by this author but definitely won’t be the last. This book tells Colbie’s unique story, and the emotions I felt were off the charts. You definitely need a box of tissue while reading this book. I enjoyed the twist this story takes and the amazing end left me thinking about this book long after I finished reading it. I highly recommend this book.

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms is the first book in the Gumshoe Mysteries Series by Laura Hawks. This was a fast fun read. It really made my weekend. It was a refreshing read, I wanted to get away from the romance genre and this really hit the spot. This book grabbed my attention from the first page and I couldn’t put it down until I finished. I love the book being told in Mia’s view, and Gumshoe is really an interesting twist in this story. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

The Embers We Seek: Prequel, War of Giants is the first book in A Rebel Princess Serial by Acacia K. Parker. This is a short paranormal book that builds a big world in a short amount of time. We are introduced to Wren and her small battalion of fighters who are trying to prevent mass casualties by going in to battle first. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. Things don’t go as planned, even when you have the best laid plans, so going in with little planning leads to unexpected consequences. This fast read has me wanting more. Ms. Parker has my interest in this serial and I can’t wait for part two.

Saint Code: Lost is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. Although this book is the fourth in the series it set before the other books in the series, so it can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend you read the whole series because they are all fabulous. This is not my usual genre, but the writing, and world building just sucked me right in. St. Augustine is such a strong character, I fell in love with her right from the start. The action and adventure was non stop throughout the whole story, and I couldn’t believe that the end came so soon. I highly recommend this story to everyone, even if this is not a genre that you would normally read, because it is very entertaining and well worth your time. I can’t wait to see where Ms. Mackie takes us next.

After Wrath is the second book in the Deadliest Sin Series by Gwyn McNamee. I did really think Ms. McNamee could get any darker than the first book in this series, but I was wrong. The second book is dark. You need to read this series in order to get the full storyline. This book had me enthralled from beginning to end and I couldn’t put it down until the last page. I don’t want to give anything of the plot line away so all I’m going to say about this book is Beware of the Dragon! If you love dark and dirty this is the series for you.
