Looks Can Hide What is Really Inside!

My review of The Accidental Fireman by Piper Rayne

Firstly, I must say thank you for my ARC of this 5 star read. Second in the series and it captured my attention from beginning to end. So many unexpected twists and turns. Nothing about this story was really obvious except the hidden love of the Main Couple for each other. Many very touching and heartbreaking, teary, tissue at hand moments interspersed with a little humor here and there. A truly compelling story which is some ways is a lesson to the reader to not make assumptions about themselves and to allow themselves to be loved by others and by them. So many lose so much because they are too hard on themselves. Friendships were wonderful in this book and overcame so much to thrive. I loved the first book of the series, loved this one even more and cannot wait to see what is in store for the next book of this series. Please, if you haven't read Piper Rayne before give this one a look out and I bet you will find yourself excited and patiently waiting for the next one too.

 I want to be caught by Ben Ramirez!!

My review of Catch Me If You Can by Tia Marlee.

Firstly I should like to say thank you for my ARC of this book. I absolutely adored this cute short book. It was wonderful to sit down and escape with such a delightful book and finish it in one sitting. I loved everything about this 5 star read. The characters were fabulous. Mama Ramirez was so hysterical she also reminded me of an Italian Mama and a Jewish mother. The scenes were so very well written that I could see myself at the dinner table, at the 4th of July celebration and so much more. There was nothing about this book that I didn't like. The conversations were funny and real. There was so much packed into a small book and it truly had a good story with a plot. So my friends, if you are a fan of Tia Marlee you have to read this one. If you have not been introduced to Tia Marlee, she is a fabulous author and this book would be a great place to start. I am sure you will become and I know you will definitely be Caught by Ben Ramirez.

 

This Devil Wears Gucci!!

My review of My Devil Wears Denim by Angela Pearse

Firstly, I should like to say thank you for my ARC of this book. I gave this one 4.5 stars rounded down to 4 for Goodreads. I loved the Fanged and Flirty series so was happy to jump at a chance to read this one. I totally enjoyed this book and devoured it in about 5 hours of reading but spread over a few days because of other commitments. I enjoyed the story and the writing. Loved the main characters. I think what took it down a star for me was Jade getting hit on by her original dad. The banter between the main characters was wonderfully written. So many outrageous and laugh out loud moments. I got some real kicks remembering the 80s and I loved Wham so much back in the day especially George Michael. He was lost to us too soon. If there is another book to follow this one I am excited to read it. I really hope it will feature a little more of Jade and Sebastian. Check this book out and I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did and please also read the Fanged and Flirty series which hilarious too. Angela has perfected the art of fantasy romantic comedy.

 Twists and Turns in this Amish Romance Thriller

My review of  Unsolved Amish Abduction by Mary Alford

Seems like all my reviews are 5 stars but that is likely because all the books I am reading are amazing and this one was no different. Thank you to the author for my ARC of this book and yes it is a 5 star rating from me. The way this story evolved with all the twists and turns was pretty incredible to read. I truly loved the main characters, all of them and of course Tracker was the star. Having said that this was a really cleverly written book. The narrative was excellent and was to the point. The conversations were beautifully put together and the reader could feel the emotion through the words. I love Amish Fiction and this was a very different read to me. There was as much romance as in some Amish romance books but with a huge story that kept the reader guessing and made this a book that was tough to put down. This is my first book from this author and I am so impressed that I know I will have to read more of her books. If you love Amish fiction whether it is romance or mystery or both then don't skip by this one that has it all.

 A Wedding that would be awesome to attend!!

My review of  Wedding Manner by C.G. Macington

Firstly I must say thank you for my ARC of this book. This was another 5 star read that I devoured from the very first word to the very last and then went back over to read parts again. C.G. Macington is now officially my favorite M/M author whose books I absolutely cannot wait for. This again was a hysterical, unhinged fantastic journey from beginning to end. In this book I continued to adore Max and Jax'x coupling and also Preston and Luke's. What I never saw coming were the other couples that we would learn about by the end of the book. This was such a humorous read that I found myself laughing out loud to the point of tears. These men are absolutely beautiful inside and out and I only wish I could find myself a doctor remotely like even one of these. I remember a medical drama where the male charge nurse of the ER was named mama and was loved and feared. Mama Ortiz reminds me of a female version of him and I absolutely adore her. So much more about this book that I could say but I don't want to give anything away. I will say there were a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming and each one had me shouting hurrah! I believe that fans of this author will love this book and like me, will be sad that it is the last of this little series. However, knowing this amazing author he has something else that he is getting ready for us to binge on. If you are a fan of M/M romances then this is a must read. C. G. Macington writes them like no other. Please enjoy.

 A Hockey fake dating romance but with so much more!

My review of  Deking by Cala Riley

My thanks firstly to Cala Riley for my ARC of this book via BookFunnel. This 5 star book was a delight to read from the first word to the very last word. Besides being a college hockey romance, there were many other subjects that were touched and obviously researched well. We had dementia and being a caregiver for a family member suffering from the disease. We had loss of family members. One of the toughest parts of the book to read but also most meaningful was the loss of Jerry. We saw how ugly jealousy and bullying can be. I loved how the story evolved and I truly enjoyed the main couple Wyatt and Lyla. Their journey from the start of the book to the very end was beautiful to read and I was happy to go on it with them. Cala Riley made me believe that I was part of the "family" with the way the scenes were described and the conversations and sometimes banter were so well written I felt myself wanting to have my say. LOL. So many chuckle at moments, wtg moments and some where I felt myself grabbing for a tissue to wipe my tears. There was nothing in my mind, to dislike about this book and even though it was book 5 of the series I truly believe that it could be read as a stand alone and would be perfectly understandable if the other 4 books had not previously been read. Cala Riley fans will know what I am saying when I say this is a must not miss read and for those not familiar with the author, I truly believe that once you read this book you will go back for more. I am excited to see where this author takes us next and who is featured as our main couple.

 A Dream Christmas in Dream Harbor!

My review of The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore

It's funny how we can all read the same books and see them differently. I gave this book 4 stars. While I enjoyed it, I did not like it as much as the first two books of the series. I found it a little bit repetitive compared to the other two. I still love Dream Harbor and loved the return of the characters we got to know in the first two books and the addition of new characters. I did like the main couple and loved the dogs. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments and even a few very touching ones. I enjoyed how the story evolved and really liked everything about the book except that it took me a couple of chapters to get into it compared to the previous two which is the reason I didn't like it quite as much. I am very excited to read the next book in the series and will definitely recommend this book and this series to others. If you haven't read any of the books yet, they can all be read as stand alone books but I have a thing about reading a series is in order. Take a read of these books and I bet you will, like those of us who have read the books, look forward to your next visit to Dream Harbor.
