The Wright Secret by K.A. Linde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Wright Secret is a brother's best friend romance. It is fun and witty with just enough angst.

This is Morgan's story. She is at the top of her game career wise. She has a fantastic family and great friends. What she doesn't have is romance. Love. She has secretly been in love with her brother's best friend for years...like 10 of them. She never thought he would think of her that way and was deeply worried it would harm her or his friendship with her brother.

Patrick has always like Morgan as Austin's little sister. He has had a few fleeting thoughts of her that weren't very sisterly, but worried over his relationship with Austin and the other Wright brothers killing him, he quickly stowed them away.

K.A. Linde gave me an action packed story that kept me intrigued. A few twists and a bit of angst were woven in peaking my interest. Morgan and Patrick are very explosive together. I enjoyed the twist of the female being the powerhouse character and Patrick being such a patient and supportive partner. And...he makes great mashed potatoes.

The supporting characters were great and well developed. It was nice getting to check in with some of the other Wright family members.

Enjoyed this read and would recommend to all romance readers who love the brother's best friend story and a strong female lead character.

I was gifted a copy for an honest review.

Bear the Burn by T.S. Joyce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You know when you start a new series, and you can’t help but keep downloading the next book in the series. By the time you have finished you haven’t written a single review because you are too engrossed in reading the next book on that Authors shelf. Yep, I know J.S Joyce has hundreds of reviews.

If you haven’t picked up a book by this Author yet, you definitely need to take a peek.

Dade Keller is all alpha male and as stubborn as they come. He is fighting the inevitable where Quinn Copeland is concerned. She isn’t what he was expecting at all, but then fate does have a funny way of turning lives upside down even for a shifter.

Quinn is new to the area and hoping to fit in. Her past isn’t something she ever wishes to talk about. She’s so quiet and shy and pretty much keeps to herself.

Secrets always have a way of coming out. The Kellers have been hiding so many for a long time. When a fire breaks out and the fire department arrives at the scene, the public get a birds-eye view of a lot more than they’d ever bargain for.

No matter what happens to this family they will always stick together. This book was another gripping read and I was eager to download the next one.

Bear the Heat by T.S. Joyce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cora Wright is a news reporter. She’s been in the background trying to help the Kellers AKA Breck Crew since learning of their existence.
Most people - humans - often feel threatened by what they don’t know or understand. Cora is trying to change the minds of hundreds while still being true to her job.

Boone Keller. Boy, these men certainly know how to hold my attention. He’s been watching over Cora. If there is one thing I have learned while reading these stories is that the Breck Crew will protect the woman and their families with their lives. Boone is one fierce protector.

Boone is hiding the biggest secret from not only Cora, but his family as well. It’s a lot for a man to carry around. The sooner everything is out in the open the better things will be for everyone concerned.

I have enjoyed this series so much, I am off to check out other shifter romances by this Author.

A Bear for Christmas by Kassandra Cross

A Bear For Christmas: A Shifter Holiday Romance by Kassandra Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Disappointed!! Why? Because although it says this book is 272 pages that is not how long A Bear For Christmas story is. The end is actually over at 47 percent. I have to say I am only feeling let down because I was thoroughly enjoying this story.

Two friends, Alyssa and Megan embark on an adventure. Alyssa has already previously been to visit the mountains in Vermont, but wanted to take Megan there. If anyone needed to get away it was Megan. She’s had an awful time, well that’s putting it mildly to be honest. Her ex is brutal and is currently in jail. Right where he needs to stay.

Megan wasn’t looking for anything other than good company, laughter, great food. She never expected to find herself in the arms of someone she thought could be the one. Love really does come at the strangest of times.

Mason is a complete hunk of a man. He’s the guy you see in your dreams. Well built, tall, protective, caring. He’s so strong, yet gentle. But it’s almost always to good to be true. No one can be that perfect, right?
He has his own secret and it’s not a secret he can escape from. It’s huge like a grizzly.

I loved this story, I am just sorry it wasn’t longer as in a full-length book. There are additional stories to this book, but I haven’t read those. I might later after I stop spitting my dummy out about how short this story was.

Hot Shot by Karina Halle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first time I have read a book by this Author. I can honestly say it won’t be the last. I have fallen in love the characters from North Ridge. Book one and two in this series will definitely be shooting up to the top on my to be read list.

This is book three and can most certainly be read as a standalone. I did however wish I had read the previous books in this series, and that was because I wanted to hear the other characters stories. They are a crazy bunch, but the good kind of crazy.

Fox Nelson is smoking hot. He’s a complex man for sure, but the one person who understands him better than he thinks is right where she has always been. Right in front of his very eyes. Delilah Gordon mostly goes by the name, Del grew up with the Nelson’s. She loves them like brothers, well, Mav and Shane, yes. Fox, she is head over heels in love with. She has held a torch for this man for most of her life. The funny thing is everyone around her can see it. Her family, friends, but Fox is completely blind to it.

Fox and Del have been best friends forever. They talk, text, chat, hug. All the things you’d expect to happen between to very close friends. How they have managed to keep their relationship platonic this whole time is beyond me.

Fox’s job is extremely dangerous. With no signs of him ever quitting it’s only a matter of time before something bad happens. He has some serious issues to deal with or maybe he’ll continue to ignore them like he has most of his life.

Loss, pain and broken hearts play a huge factor in this story. But also there is moments of happiness, laughter and it’s filled with love. The Nelson’s have all dealt with pain and loss, but mostly they came through that and found love. Fox is the last one so to speak to find himself and live a life where he can be happy.

I loved Fox and Del’s story. There was high points involving a pool table. Low points which I felt crush for both of them. The emotion that was portrayed in this book brought all my feelings to the surface. The humour brought a smile to my face and sometimes outbursts of laughter.

I would recommend this book to all romance lovers. I would suggest if you haven’t read anything by this Author that you read Book one first. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed in reading this three books series.

True Abandon by Jeannine Colette

True Abandon by Jeannine Colette
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW!!

I was completely breathless after finishing this story.

Trish and Jackson have spent each regretting the events of the past in their own way. For Trish the traumatic implications of one night led to her complicated and much traumatised adulthood. As much as she has tried she can't seem to ever find the peace and happiness she has longed for.
The present and fate has its own way to bring both characters face to face in order to put their differences aside and get much needed closure. It is incredible how someone can think so little and feel so much before understanding the other person motives.
Life has given them a chance to correct the past and search in their hearts the forgiveness in order to find happiness.

A lovely and touching story of redemption and second chances. Loved the style of writing and the very original story line.
Thank You for letting me read and review.

A Page turner with plenty of romance.

Under the Lights by Tia Louise

REVIEWED BY Isa Jones

Under the Lights by Tia Louise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is what I call being hooked on a book!.
I read this whilst on my holiday and I kept getting looks by friends around me as I was completely enraptured by the distinctively smart plot.
This is the first book I have read from this Author and I am thoroughly surprised. I fell in love with both characters, Mark and Lara and although at times we were faced with some dark elements there were also plenty of twists and turns. There were plenty of hot and steamy moments. I love this type of books where the hero of the story will go to the end of the world to protect the woman he loves. A Rollercoaster of emotions.

Consuming, Alluring and 100% addictive.
