​Author K.J. is a new to me author, I purchased the book not knowing what to expect. I am an MC Romance book lover and have my favorite authors. It is sometimes hard for me to separate myself from that.

I was floored! Yes, her serious has a few spelling/grammar errors, but that did not take away from the story AT ALL.

Deke, alpha male President of Satan's Spawn MC, so big that not a person dares to defy him.

Cassie, tiny little wisp of nothing, but deadly in her own way.

Deke has a chip on his shoulder towards Cassie within seconds of meeting her. She can't stand him, he took her best friend. But, did he really? Can Deke stay no emotions towards Cassie.....can Cassie resist Deke?

As Cassie's background starts to unravel, as a reader, my core was shaken. The things K.J. had Cassie and her best friend go thru blew my wind. Her ability to spin this story, but make it feel real, kudos to you! There was times as I was reading that I keep saying, these poor girls can not deal with anything else....then more of the past was unlocked.

I am only going to give this book a 4.5 stars due to the grammar errors and in spots words were missing....I understand that if her brain was racing and her fingers just could not keep up! But, in some spots, I had to reread a sentence to get what she was trying to say.

​Endings
War Storm is the fourth and final install of Red Queen Series. This series intrigued my inner need for women’s empowerment along with the need for fantasy.  Mare the main character raises the revolution against oppression in a world were being “sliver” make you superior and being “red” indebts you to a life of servitude. Slivers possess the ability to control their environment; while red posses no powers. In book one Mare finds out that she is neither red nor sliver but an entirely different race all together. This revelation makes Mare highly sought for both sides of the cause and is used as a pawn by the revolution and the slivers.
In War Storm Mare’s predicament is finding the balance between loving the sliver King and fighting for her cause. The big question is can Mare break the barrier and bring the nations together under democracy.  
I anticipate this book for a long time. The read sucked me in as the first three books did. However, I felt like the storyline would have been better served if it had ended without the epilogue.  I wanted so badly for the conclusion to the book to be romanticized and I felt like the epilogue took away for that.

​Theresa Hissong's Rise of the Pride series is a ever growing world of shape shifters. Harold's story has been a long time waiting. He's the healer of the pride and he watches as everyone else finds their mates.

​But he is stunned when a rescued rare white wolf shifter, being sheltered by his clan, could be his destined mate. A panther and a wolf - .hmmm...will it work? 

I loved his interactions with her. He was trying his best to remain professional while tormenting himself because he knew she was the one. This was a wonderful addition to this growing world. Harold is one of my favorite characters from this series, and this novella is perfect for him.

This novel is a full-length, humorous cozy mystery featuring a splash of magic, a handful of witches, and a dash of romance. It's rated PG-13 due to mild language and some romance.

I am in love with this series!!! I was hooked when I first met Lily and her quirky little family! I always had high hopes for how Lily's story would play out with her new family and new responsibilities but when I starting reading this book I had no idea how much she would actual go through. I felt my heart jump a few times at the most heartwarming times, but also at the most horrifying times! Yes, I do know that this is a PG-13 book but when I read some of these scenes I was just upset by the way things were turning out I went full on dramatic. The scenes with Ranger X and Lily made me laugh, smile and also a little angry about all the secrets! I understand they are protecting each other and the Island but UGH it was frustrating.

Ms. LaManna shocked me several times throughout the book with her ability to paint the exact picture of each scene that she wanted you to see in your mind. Every part of Lily's obstacles were mapped out beautifully and I could not put this book down! This book was sent to me for my honest review and I apologize for the delay in posting. Congratulations on such a captivating series and I can not wait to see what happens next for Lily Locke.

Erik Murphy has everything figured out, or so he thinks.

His ex is getting married. He needs a date.
Two meddling sisters and One dating app later, Erik finds himself in a whirlwind of online dating.
Will he be able to find a date in time? Will he find something more instead?

Kayla MacPhearson thinks her best friend Belinda Hittle, an extreme introvert, needs to spice up her dating life. Kayla hooks her up on a dating app and sits back to watch the sparks fly.

What happens when it all doesn’t go as planned? Will these two find love?

This was my first read from Logan Chance and since this was a novella I was very sad and am going to be purchasing more of his books. Date Me was funny, sexy, arousing, upsetting and all around awesome!

Erik needs to find a date for his ex's wedding and I love this way of telling this kind of story. I know some of us have seen this type of story come around but Logan adds a little bit of craziness that I did not expect to happen. I was absolutely certain that this story would end completely different than what happened but that made this book so much more because of the different ending.

Everyone has that friend or sibling that wants to help because they think they know what is right and I loved Logan's way of changing things around. I was quite confused for a little bit with Erik but once everything was explained, being a woman, I could not believe I did not see that coming! Way to go Logan on this hot read! I can't wait to go back a read more of this series and more from you!

Can two hearts entwined by hardship move on to form a healthy bond? From the author of His to Love and His to Protect, this tender, bittersweet romance brings together a man who loses everything—and a woman with everything to give.

Chelsea Dwyer arrives home from her job at the middle-school library in Latham Hills, Michigan, expecting another quiet evening—until she hears the screams for help through her living room window. As the first witness to a terrible accident involving two local students, Chelsea doesn’t anticipate how her own life will be irrevocably changed by the father of one of the boys. In the wake of tragedy, she’s the only one who seems to understand his grief. Chelsea’s a survivor, too—and she knows that there are brighter days ahead.

As a single father, Aidan Deveraux worked his entire life to provide a stable home for his son, Derrick. Without him, Aidan feels the deepest despair imaginable. The one thing that keeps him going is his connection with the woman who tried to save his son. Hard as he tries, Aidan just can’t stay away. Chelsea’s warm embrace is the comforting solace he desperately craves—and it doesn’t hurt that Aidan had noticed the beautiful librarian and wanted to ask her out for years. Now that she’s in his life, he doesn’t ever want to let go.

When you read a Stacey Lynn book you feel the emotion and the depth of pain/joy each character is feeling throughout the book. I have been attached to characters and loved them but no of them compared to what I experienced reading this book.

This book was so much more to me than a book, it was a book of hope to me personally. I love Chelsea and the person she was and even more the person she became through everything. My story is not like Chelsea's but I feel this connection with her through what she was thinking and my frame of mind. I felt like her words were exactly how I feel.

I hope to NEVER feel what Aidan goes through during this book, but I hope anyone that does or has can read this book and feel the growth in Aidan to help them overcoming their struggles. I will say that I felt like slapping Aidan a few times, which after you read this book you will agree with me. But I LOVED this story!!

My stomach is in knots after reading this emotional, heart warming and gut wrenching story. This has been hands down the best read I have had the chance to read from Ms. Lynn! Thank you for giving me such an overwhelming book that I connected with in such a soul deep level. I am patiently waiting for your next read.....for now.

I am so glad I had both books so I could go from one book to the other without waiting for a release! What a cliffhanger we were left with in Quake!

My heart was with Janny and going through all the craziness that she went through with Kyle. Parts of what she goes through made me angry and I understand why they went the way they did because without that the ending would not have had the impact it did with how she overcomes everything.

Kyle ripped my heart a few times and I wanted to slap the crap out of him many times, but there is an understanding to why he does what he does also.

I am a really big fan of the Chance Brothers now and these were two incredible books that I got to read and I can't wait for more!! Congrats Jacob on this crazy good read!!

Holy cow was I so blown away by this book! I really thought it was creepy at first but after the creepiness went away all that was left what desire! Kyle was a little pervy at first and that threw me off for a few chapters but this book was gifted to me in a giveaway and reading some of the teasers I could not pass up my chance to read this book! This was my very first Jacob Chance read and I will say I was very needy after this read and I cried because I needed to read the next book! OMG THE CLIFFHANGER!!

For me its a little difficult to try new authors out once I have found my favorites but I have seen the brothers names all of my news feed and wanted to read their books. Janny really upset me during this first book but by the freaking amazing cliffhanger I wanted to apologize to her for the awful things I said about her. I am so glad I took a chance on these brothers because just by reading Jacob's first book I am hooked! I went out and purchased the rest of the books they have for sale because I am so in love with the way Jacob has written this book! What a great way to introduce yourself Jacob because this was HOT!

I didn't start reading any of Ms. Jones' books from the beginning so going back to see where you meet Alaina, Vicky and Blake put all the books into order for me. Seeing what these men and women went through at the beginning of their friendships and relationships blew me away! I knew Ms. Jones could write and express so much emotion through her stories but talk about HOT and PASSIONATE!

I am a very big Amo Jones fan and to say that I was thrown back into a wall, pushed and shoved with emotions for these amazing characters does not even come close to describing what they went through and how I was pulled along. I can not and will never get enough of Amo Jones' books and I can not wait to see where she takes us next time. Ms. Jones these characters are becoming apart of my soul and I nearly broke several times during this box set! I love you for all of the pain though and congratulate on an outstanding job of writing greatness!
