Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books #1-4)Spicetopia Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoebe Alexander is one of my favorite authors EVER! Her books are nothing like you have either read or will read! The Spicetopia series definitely falls under that category. She sets us up with a killer sensual amusement park for adults. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Each story is one a different couple that works throughout the park/organization. They are beautiful sweet stories that definitely have some spice to them. This boxed set is perfect for the weekend binge read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve always been a fan of Via Mari’s books. She always brings a certain amount of suspense and steam that will completely a reader!

Reign is the 3rd book in the Larussio Legacy series and one that I completely devoured. This is the continuation of Serena and Giovanni’s rollercoaster ride of a relationship. So much happens in this book that it makes it so hard to put down. The twists and turns along with the espionage will constantly keep you guessing but one thing for sure is that you want Serena and Giovanni’s HEA!

Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2)Secure Again by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love this second installment from the Chase Security series. I loved the non stop action that kept me on the edge of my seat. R.L Dunn is quite the storyteller and was able to tell so many sides of a story and I never got lost once. Dr. Elizabeth Reed is one of those strong female characters that you can’t help but love and Martin Bailey who will stop at nothing to bring to justice the person who has hurt the woman who has stomped on his heart and maybe win her?!?

I love this book and this author! I cannot wait for more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a huge fan of Manda Mellett and I get way too excited for her releases. I have loved all the Satan’s Devils chapters and I’m was so excited to dive right in the Utah chapter. This was a story that I wasn’t expecting and it took me by complete surprise but I loved every second of it. There was so much to this story such as lies, deceit, so many questions, and anything that can keep you on the edge of your seat. I’m so excited for this series! It definitely started off with a bang!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. You can’t help but swoon over Jake. Even though Jake has had a rough past when it came to marriages but despite that he was almost the perfect man. I loved how he and Allison were completely relatable characters. Their past situations are completely realistic and you can’t help but completely relate to themselves and how they feel. The author did a great job on the depth of her characters and they were completely engaging. I fell in love with this book and the authors writing. I cannot wait for more stories!

Secure Desire (Chase Security Series Book 1)Secure Desire by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secure Desire is one action – packed romantic suspense novel. It gives you everything from action, violence, twists and turns, and everything you would want in this genre! Ian Chase is an Ex Navy SEAL and now head the Chase Group which is a billion dollar security firm. Imagine to his surprise when his brief encounter with a very engaged art historian that he had six years prior suddenly pops back into her life. Cassiopeia Ellis is no longer engaged and even though she suffers from amnesia, she remembers meeting Ian all those years ago. This is a good thing but it also scares the crap out of her. He has appeared in her life when someone out there wants her dead. This book had me at the edge of my seat THE WHOLE TIME! It was such a thrilling ride and I can’t wait to dive into book 2!

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul RemembersThe Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn’t know what to expect when diving into this book. I’m normally really picky when it comes to historical novels but I COMPLETELY fell in love. You can’t help but fall in love with Sarah even though part of you is absolutely pained by the experiences she goes through. She teaches you that you can adapt and overcome any situation if you can put your mind to it. I also like reading about her husband, who in a way, saved her. This is one of those books that not only pulls you into a roller coaster ride of emotions but its one that will stick with you long after reading the last page. I cannot recommend this book enough!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Help Me Harry by Mya O’Malley is one of those romance books that buries its self into your heart. Its one of those crazy roller coaster rides of emotions. Miss O’Malley has a way of writing characters that are completely relatable and you cannot help but fall in love with them from the start. I loved reading about Cassie and Harry and their hesitations towards relationships due to past hurt and how they overcame personal obstacles to reach their HEA. I love Miss O’Malley’s writing and I cannot wait for more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not only do I love Manda Mellett’s books but I love book with an older couple and she gave me both. I completely fell in love with this couple. Miss Mellett brings some of the BEST MC stories and I cannot get enough of them!

I loved Patsy and Lost. Both of them went through immense struggles but Lost always made sure Patsy was taken care of and she wouldn’t lose more.

I love seeing the San Diego chapter of this MC crew. Each series has always hooked me and I cannot wait for more from the San Diego series!!

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5)Dares & Dice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phoebe Alexander always brings the steamiest romance books that I cannot get enough of. Every single one of her stories are so unique and very different from everything I have previously read. She’s not afraid to push the envelope either!

The Spicetopia is one of my all time favorites. Ty and Makenna’s story is probably one of my favorites from this series. Both characters are at the theme park for their Bachelor and Bachelorette parties (they aren’t marrying each other). Their chemistry is completely undeniable and singes the pages! Miss Alexander added in some twists that no one was expecting and I was completely on the edge of my seat!

I hope there is more to this series. I love visiting my favorite theme park!

Stepbrother: Step Dilemma Series Book 1Stepbrother: Step Dilemma Series Book 1 by Stacy McWilliams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m always a fan of the taboo romances. I love the forbidden aspect and the internal battles that ensue. This is a new author to me and she did not disappoint. Bailey and Cooper had amazing chemistry from the start. There was no denying that the fire was there. We got to see many sides of Cooper, even though not all were good, you can’t deny wanting all good things happen to him. The issues they faced were very real in a situation that they shared. I enjoyed this book immensely and cannot wait for more.

I have always enjoyed Brooke May’s books. I love how this book is nothing like I have read before. We are introduced to Jax and his disability. He feels that he needs to constantly go above and beyond to prove to everyone that it’ll never hold him back. Lennox walks into his life and the sparks fly. Jax is now more determined than ever to reach the goal he’s accomplishing and the one thing that stands in his way is Lennox’s brother.

I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters and I cannot wait to read more from this author!

New Jerk in Town (Carolina Kisses, #2)New Jerk in Town by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a huge Sylvie Stewart fan. All of her books are full of humor and heart. Once I start reading one of her books, I have a difficult time trying to put them down. Plus I’m always a sucker for second chance, enemies to lovers type of books. I absolutely loved reading about Jill and Milo. Jill is one of the spunky and hot heated female characters that really grabs your attention. Milo on the other hand is kind of grump but underneath it all he has the biggest heart of gold. I loved how they navigated through their past to get over their hard feelings but is it enough to give their future a try?

Sylvie Stewart is definitely one of my favorite One-click authors. All of her stories are different and bring a whole lot of heart to the table.

Night JusticeNight Justice by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a big fan of India Kells’s books. She writes such gripping novels that will hook you from the very beginning and not let you up until the very end!

Night Justice is the first book in her Chicago Vigilantes series and I’m completely enthralled with it. In this book we follow Orla who is a reporter who is set on her mission on stopping the drug trade that is running rampant through Chicago as well as the Vigilante who has his own version to justice served. Miss Kells has a way of writing such deep and meaningful story that hands you many twists and turns to the plot that keep you on the edge of your seat guessing what will happen next. I cannot wait for the next installment!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a massive fan of Manda Mellett’s books. She always brings something different to the table with every story she writes. This boxset is the first 5 books in her Satan’s Devil’s MC series and I couldn’t put it down. These men are definitely alpha and the chemistry between them and their love completely sizzled the pages. When I was first introduced to this author’s books, it was with stories that come later on in the series so it was so nice to go back and read about characters that I’ve already been introduced to and read about their HEA. Manda Mellett has a way of sucking you into her stories to the point you get completely invested in these characters lives. She is definitely my go-to one-click author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read from Elaine Marie and it won’t be the last. Sunshine Kisses was so beautifully written. It completely hooked me from the beginning and took a hold of my heart. It’s one of those book that has a whole lot of heart and relatability. Crystal receives some devastating news so when she has the chance to forget for a little while at her friend’s destination wedding she’ll do anything to live in the moment for a little while. This includes one wild weekend with her best friend Spencer but eventually reality will set back in.

The characters are so well written and you can’t help but fall in love with them. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

This was such a beautiful series by K.G. Fletcher! Each book will hook you and they’ll take you on an emotional rollercoaster but they completely make your heart happy in the end. Each book can be read as a standalone but I loved all of them but each story will make you want to read the other ones. K.G. Fletcher’s writing is beautiful and her stories will make you crave more. She is definitely on my one-click list

I’m a huge fan of Via Mari and definitely a fan of this series! Via Mari knows how to hook you with every single book! Rise had all the elements that I love in a book. It had suspense, drama, action, and just the right amount of steam! I completely fell in love with Gio and Serena. His family is a powerful mafia family where her family has suffered under his family’s rule. Their chemistry will sizzle the pages but will their love be enough to survives his enemies?

Via Mari knows how to write a book. I have read many book by her but this series completely has me hooked and might be my favorite to date!

/0 Comments/in /by

This is the first books in the series that actually read as standalones but I loved them just as much as the first books in the series. They are connected to the characters in the previous books. You don’t need to read the prior books in the series to dive into these but they are amazing just the same!

K.L. Montgomery has a way with dealing with real world issues but spins a unique twist in these stories that keep you wanting more. She is one that will always keep you on the edge of your seat with emotions, drama, and humor.

For anyone that has seen my reviews knows that I love anything that K.L. Montgomery writes. They are always so different from anything you will ever read. Her writing is so unique and you’ll never see an author like hers. The characters in these books are so complex but you can’t help but fall in love with them. Their love journey is one roller coaster of a ride but completely worth it. The thing I love the most of K.L. Montgomery’s books is that even though these books are unique but their battles are so realistic. This series is a must read!

He is now assigned to a personal assistant to keep him in line. I absolutely loved Danielle. This isn’t what she really wanted to do for living but at least it was a paycheck. Their chemistry was amazing despite the rough start. You can’t help fall for Ben who is coming out of a rough divorce and loves his daughter so much!

This book was a complete rollercoaster of emotions and so beautifully written and I cannot wait for more

Phoebe Alexander has a way to bringing very real issues in life into her stories and we see the very real struggles the characters go through. All three of these books were so hard to put down. I cannot wait to read more from Miss Alexander

Sadie and Archer were perfection! Sadie was the cutest and was terrified to be in love with her TWIN brother’s BF. Archer was perfection! He was dominant when needed then he’s romantic.

This book had everything I ever wanted in a book and then some! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

I always know Phoebe Alexander brings an amazing story that is completely different from anything else I’ve read. This story was beautifully written and I cannot wait to dive into book 3 to see where these two characters take up

I’m new to this author but I’m completely hooked! I loved reading this hate/lust story and I haven’t ever read anything like it. Gabriella is a completely sassy character who I just loved reading and Christian can totally sling it right back to her. When a temporary truce is made and a gesture they didn’t se coming, all of a sudden both are questioning themselves and their beliefs towards one another.

I completely loved the banter between the two characters. They kept me on the edge of my seat and their chemistry sizzled off the pages!

I absolutely love Phoebe Alexander’s books! She always brings something new with every story she writes.

The story of Sarah and James will suck you right in from the beginning! I absolutely LOVED Sarah. She is completely liberated and really shows how woman should feel instead of being shamed in today’s society. Sarah and James were the perfect fit but both have different opinions about what it takes to build a relationship. Neither one is wrong but they need to navigate through their own views and not worry about what society considers to be right!

I loved the struggle and the different topics this book brought up. It really makes you think about things in a different light and I cannot wait to dive into book 2!

Several months later they are thrown back together! I loved the story and I loved these characters! Such a great read and I can’t wait for more from Miss Stewart!
