My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One thing that Blake does not do is relationships. Because of his job as a cop he does not want someone waiting for him not to come home one day. Tia is a bartender and basically has no life for herself as she's helping (mainly raising) her nieces and nephew. Blake and Tia hook up for a night.

When bartenders who resemble Tia are being killed Blake does everything in his power to protect her. Along the way, he's drawn into her everyday life and is realizing that there might be something worth taking a risk for.

With Blake in her life, Tia is opening her eyes that as much as she loves her nieces and nephew that something is off with her relationship with her sister. That the time is now to take control of her own life. Tia is such a very strong person.

I love the suspense, the mystery and intrigue of this book. My favorite type of book!

Meet Cute by Helena Hunting

Meet Cute by Helena Hunting
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 🌟s

Meet Cute is just that - It's Cute! But it is so much more than that as well. When I saw the cover, I thought I was in for a light hearted rom-com, but that is not the case, and it wasn't a bad thing either. It is a book that will give you all the feels. There is some classic Hunting humor that had me smiling and snorting in parts but you will experience heartache along with Daxton and his little sister Emme. Kailyn is no stranger to what they are going through and she is the absolute right person to help them navigate through this period of their lives, even the Aisle of Red!

You could classify this novel in a few tropes, it could fall into the crush to friends/enemies to friends to lovers (that was a mouthful)! There is also the single parent side that was very touching and emotional to witness. It is not all sad and angsty, as I said there is some brilliant humor and also a delightful love story to makes this novel complete.

Kailyn is someone I would want in my corner if I ever needed a lawyer or any sort of help. She was a pillar of strength but also had the kindest heart. She is a little bit wicked too, which was engrossing to Dax. Daxton oh Dax.... what can I tell you, he was charming and smart and oh so swoony. The way he takes on his new responsibility full heartedly was inspiring and moving. I felt so much empathy for him. I think I would be a fangirl too if I ever ran into him!

I feel this book will connect with so many readers, and that's why I would recommend that you give this one a go.

*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Before We Fell by Stacey Lynn

Before We Fell by Stacey Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Noah has done everything and is doing everything he can for his niece Riley including giving up his high power job. When when I read what is causing her not to talk and communicate with others I was gutted. Her teacher, Lauren is the type of teacher that is fully invested in her students and wants to reach them on whatever level she can. I really admire Lauren. She does not back down from Noah. She has both Riley and Noah's best interest at heart.

Though Noah and Lauren fight their chemistry at first it becomes too powerful not to give in. Just when life seems to be looking like there is a bright future for the three of them their world is blown apart by the one person that has practically ruined Lauren's life since childhood. A person that Lauren has no responsibility for. How is it fair that Lauren has to continuously pay for his actions.

On the other-hand how is Noah supposed to overlook that the person who is so closely connected to Lauren destroyed Riley and Noah's life. How do you get beyond that.

A warning alert: you'll want tissues close at hand when reading this book. At least I had to have them. This book is extremely well written.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nobody Does It Better by Lauren Blakely

This book has been so ridiculously anticipated especially after The Feel Good Factor that I read - no devoured - it in a matter of hours.

Vanessa is off-limits to Shaw and the prohibition has been firmly put in place by Perri, Shaw’s sister and Vanessa’s best friend. As much as Perri loves Shaw, she thinks he’s a player and isn’t good enough for her bestie. Understandable but a bit sad, really, given that both Vanessa and Shaw have deep feelings for each other that have been simmering for quite some time! In any event, give these two a snowstorm and they will use it to their advantage.

I loved it. Every damn word. I loved the realness of their relationship and the slow burn that’s been building up over the years and last two books. I loved the corny, cheesy jokes from Shaw that had me both chuckling and rolling my eyes. I loved Vanessa’s flirtatiousness and willingness to lay it all out. All in all, I thought this book was a fantastic forbidden RomCom and the multiple viewpoints enhanced my enjoyment hugely! Another winner from Blakely and I can’t wait to see what she’ll give us next.

Uncomplicated by K.M. Newhold

Uncomplicated by K.M. Neuhold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a spin-off from the HEATHENS INK series, and book two in the Inked series. But it can most certainly be read as a standalone. I mean clearly, I now want to read other books in this series, and more from this Author. You could say that I loved this story. MMM, yep, let's get it on.

So, this is a great story, but first, let me tell you who is who. First, we have Beau, beautifully sweet, but very insecure Beau. He’s a bartender, an outrageous flirt, and never likes an empty bed.
Then we have Cas, he’s a police officer, former military and basically sex on legs. Lastly, we have Finn, hunky, a little bit of bad boy but like Beau, he has an awful lot of self-doubt.

Beau and Cas live together. Roommates if you will, but they are also bed buddies when Beau doesn’t have another man in his bed. So weird, right? But not really when you keep reading.
Cas has to go off on some assignment, this being quite a regular thing, and when he’s away Beau has company over. Man or woman, he’s not fussy as long as he’s not alone. Beau doesn’t deal with being alone very well. Cas is apparently okay with this, well he is until he finds the courage to speak up.

While Cas is away for a few weeks Beau meets Finn. Finn is really down on his luck and if there’s one thing that Beau can sense in another human being is loneliness. Beau and Finn become very close, and Cas can feel that things could be changing, or is he just being paranoid? Finn is falling for Beau, but knows once Cas is home that his time with Beau is over. Beau wants both Cas and Finn, but he's frightened of what may happen if he mentions this to Cas especially as doesn’t want to lose Cas.

OH MY GOD!! And then it happens. Cas comes home, climbs into bed with Beau, event though Beau has another man in his bed already. Its nothing out of the ordinary for them to have threesomes, but it’s late so no hanky panky is happening tonight. And then morning comes….. Beau isn’t in bed just Cas and yeah, Finn. Cas wakes up staring at Finn, Finn wakes up staring at Cas thinking he’s dreaming. And guess what? Cas and Finn already know each other. They were once in love. I know, right?

Beau, Cas and Finn had no clue that Cas was first Finn’s and vice versa. Needless to say Finn leaves, Beau promises Cas he’ll never touch Finn again, and they all go on living happily ever after. NOT!

Finn is in big trouble, his past has well and truly caught up with him. And Cas wants to save the day.

Things really do get complicated and intense over the next few weeks, but what happens in the end love always wins.
Love will find a way to make it right. Two men, three men it doesn’t matter how many men are in a relationship as long as they are happy.

This was a very detailed story. A brilliant love triangle with a twist. Danger, hot sex it had it all.

One Love by K.A. Berg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This love story gripped me from the start with Devin and Sebastian, an office romance goes wrong, but it's not what you expect! They both have to face issues with the stalker! Devin lashes out and hurts Sebastian with her need to protect herself and her career, with no regard for his feelings! Even though he's hurt by her he does everything in his power to keep her safe, but will it be enough!! You need to read the book to find out! Well worth the read!
I am an ARC reader giving my honest opinion.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Although this is book four in the Lovestrong series and the first time I have read anything from this Author, I would definitely recommend that this story is read as standalone. I followed the story really well considering there are previous books. It’s a credit to the Author that the characters and storyline were so well developed.

Hot SEAL aka Nick St. Cloud ticks all the right boxes. Hard working, caring, friendly, protective of his loved ones, and let’s not forget the man is a SEAL which may be an acronym for Sea Air and Land, but in my world, it stands for, Sexy, Electrifying Alpha Lover.

Shaw Michaelson is equally as hot, he has a fiery personality, but can't cook at all. Even a microwave meal is too risky. Seems there have been quite a few fires at Shaw’s place. He’s not short of some very hunky male attention, but only one man really holds his interested. Yeah, our delicious SEAL, Nick. It becomes very clear that these two men have a past, and were once very close indeed.

Shaw has a stalker, a very scary unknown stalker. It starts out to be quite tame. Notes left while he’s working in his shop, flowers and then the letters get darker. Nobody that loves Shaw is willing to take any chances. He must be protected.

Of course, once Nick finds out what’s going on he goes all alpha male on Shaw. It doesn’t go down too well at first, but Shaw relents and stays with Nick.

Nick and Shaw are most definitely meant to be together. Their journey is painful for both of them, but hopefully, they can put it behind them and move forward together.

I really loved this story. It was an exciting, entertaining and sexy read.
