Rogue (The Talisman Series Book 6)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m pretty biased on this book because I absolutely love this series due to the plot. Morrigan is a fave of mine and these books are always beautifully written. Well worth the read if you are a fan of deities and like to have some spice to your books. I am still missing a few of the books in this series but even skipping one I did not get lost in reading Rogue. Best Celtic mythology fiction books I’ve had the honor of reading. You’ll fall in love with Baz and Delaney and question everything.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you have read Braving Lily you will know some of the names in this story. I love a great hate to love relationship story. This one had some twist I did not expect but made me love it twice as much. What happens if your one week stand turns out to be a manwhore but this whole time you have been wrong? Could you find love and a relationship in this tension?

A story dealing with real life events or what I would think a real life pop/rock star would be like. Rhys and Lily have a honeymoon effect on you. The sappy falling in love, heated up sex moments to the insecurities causing issues. A great read.

Fallen Soul (War of Destiny # 4)Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fallen Soul is the fourth installment of the War of Destiny stories and you can tell. I would not recommend reading this until you read the first three. I started reading it without the first three and had to stop and purchase the first three. That being said, after getting caught up I was impressed with the story line. Lane just wants to go home but is being hunted by the Vampire King. Tons of violence if that isn’t your thing don’t read on. This story is non stop action.

Taming Brooklyn (The Club Kings Series Book 1)Taming Brooklyn by Charlotte St. Pierre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book gave me a softer Den of Vipers vibe. I really enjoyed it. Who doesn’t want the attention of four guys? Maybe scratch out the ex drama but every girl has fantasized about multiple guys giving her attention with no jealousy on their behalf. Taming Brooklyn will have you everywhere in your own emotions, falling for the guys, fearful of her ex, and worried about her future. I too like muscular forearms. Can’t wait for the next book in this series to find out what happens!

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2)The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve never been into tennis but really enjoyed the idea of it in this book. It had plenty to tell you about it but not too much to make you feel like you are dumb about the game. The Challenger had a good suspense plot, along with the romance and love story. There is much to follow in this story but it is very easy to read and follow.

Ocean's Three (Made In Heaven, #2)Ocean’s Three by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really thought this story would be identical to the first book and it surprised me by not being. Same type of concept but a different storyline. This one showed so much more love and family. It was quick but easy to follow and enjoy. Elena didn’t disappoint all the dreamers and lonely women out there. Another great book for her collection.

The Summer I Went CrazyThe Summer I Went Crazy by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book made me mad but not because of the author or the story but of the raw real life manner in which everyone handled the assault of young Claire. This story is well written, very life-like at aspects but in others it’s new ideas and shows a new thought process. Ben saw something horrible at a party, now he has found new friends and is trying to make it alright but is he losing his mind? Reading the epilogue at the beginning you aren’t sure you understand but by the end when you reread the epilogue, it definitely phases you. I had so many good emotions that brought tears.

The Silent RoadThe Silent Road by S.N. McKibben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first book with a male relationship with sexual scenes. I’m not sure it is something I’d go out of my way to read a whole genre of but definitely thinks everyone should try a new book at least once, you never know what you may be into. The story itself had everything you look for in a book; love, family, fights, and real world issues. It was well written and had the right amount of detail. Dan is trying to get pay for his daughter’s college when an annoyed cop pulls him over causing a chain of events to occur. Now he is stuck with a homosexual riding partner so he can get his CDLs. Will Dan learn new things about himself? Will his daughter’s college be paid for? Will Dan find love in the place he never knew existed?

I really enjoyed this story. It starts out with a sexual scene but it follows with so much. There is a lot going on in the book but it is not hard to follow or understand like some others. An unconventional love story at the least. I’ll definitely be binging other stories by Gwyn.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you can get past the jumping in the book and read past the mystery, you’ll love this book. It is original with a lot of context to be read. I really enjoyed the slow mate love and the mystery of why their love can’t be. There is much to keep up with but if you read it slowly you’ll not miss a thing. I enjoyed the storyline.

Falling HomeFalling Home by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the story, Falling Home, we follow Ginny and her life and love. I didn’t read the Buckeye Falls series in order so I knew a bit about Ginny already from book two. This didn’t deter me from reading Falling Home since it was just Ginny’s life story and reminding love. It was nice to see another person in the series’ story come to life. I definitely recommend the Buckeye Falls series.

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls, #2)Falling for You by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love little stories that show small town life with big dreams. That is exactly what Libby Kay did with the story Falling For You. CeCe has a past that brought her to Buckeye Falls, where she has made a great life but she is missing love. Is Evan gonna be the missing piece in her life or will her past creep up on her and ruin everything. Falling For You is realistic in the sense of things that could be happening in the world that we just don’t know about. Perfectly wrote fiction with big dreams and realistic life.
