Chemical Attraction by Christine Thompson

February 20, 2020

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Chemical Attraction by Christine Thompson was a good book. This is the third book in this series and at first, I was lost because I didn’t know any of the backstories but once I was a few chapters in I had pretty much figured out what was going on. Even though that was true there were things that I didn’t understand because I didn’t know the back story of the characters and I was just okay with not knowing who everyone was and how there were all tied together. This book did make me want to go back and read the other books in this series because I fell in love with the characters by the end of the book. I did find that this book was predictable but didn’t bother me because I really enjoyed the authors writing and the narrator’s voice. The narrator is one that I will add to my list of people to listen to read other books in the future. If you enjoy mystery books than I would give this one a shot because I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

September 11, 2019

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Forever Write PR in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Capturing The Heart of The Rock Star by Nomi Summers was a sweet story. I did find that I was able to predict what was going to happen but with these types of books, it is rare that I don’t have it all figured out right from the start. I fell in love with Avery right from the start and I also felt bad for her because of everything she had to deal with when it came to running the family business. This is the first book that this author wrote and I can’t wait to read more by her in the future. This book was a quick read for me and I loved that I was able to pick up this up and read it in a few days because it gave me a break from everything that is going on in the real world. I was amazed that this is the first book by this author because it was well written and it seemed like she had been writing books forever. If you are looking for a sweet chick-lit book to read this fall I would give this one a shot and I don’t think you will let down.

About The Book

Chasing music and freedom, Shane Knox left Arbor Shores nine years ago and never looked back… until now. With his best friend, Dax, getting married, Shane is coming home to face his past as well as Avery, the girl he left behind.

The second he lays eyes on her, all of his long suppressed feelings come rushing back in a tidal wave of regret. For him, it was never truly over. But is it too late for a second chance?

Despite being bitter over Shane’s abrupt exit, Avery has bigger problems on her hands than drama with her ex. Her family’s hotel, Arbor Shores Resort, is struggling. Financial difficulties have landed the business in prime position for a real estate buyout, which would destroy all Avery and her family have built.

Putting his career on the line, Shane comes up with a plan that could save the resort. But will it be enough to redeem himself with Avery?

Or is it time for him to leave Arbor Shores for good?

The Devil’s Daughter by Lisa Kleypas

February 21, 2019

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Devil’s Daughter by Lisa Kleypas was a good historical fiction novel. I say that because I haven’t been a huge fan of books in this genre lately, but this book is one that I fell in love with right from the start. I believe that I have read at least one other book by this author and I don’t even remember if I liked it, but I really did enjoy this book. This book showed me that I should judge a book just because of what genre the book is in. I feel in love with the characters in this book right from the start of the book. I was able to figure out what was going to happen before it did happen but that didn’t bother me while I was reading this book. I liked West right from the start because I have a thing for the “bad” boys in books that am reading. I also fell in love with Phoebe’s kids because they both seemed super sweet. I at times got annoyed with Phoebe but that just comes with reading a book and the author being able to make the characters come to life for me and I am reading the book. I you love historical romance books than I would pick this book and up and give it a read. If you have read it what did you think about it?

About The Book

Although beautiful young widow Phoebe, Lady Clare, has never met West Ravenel, she knows one thing for certain: he’s a mean, rotten bully. Back in boarding school, he made her late husband’s life amisery, and she’ll never forgive him for it. But when Phoebe attends a family wedding, she encounters a dashing and impossibly charming stranger who sends a fire-and-ice jolt of attraction through her. And then he introduces himself…as none other than West Ravenel.

West is a man with a tarnished past. No apologies, no excuses. However, from the moment he meets Phoebe, West is consumed by irresistible desire…not to mention the bitter awareness that a woman like her is far out of his reach. What West doesn’t bargain on is that Phoebe is no straitlaced aristocratic lady. She’s the daughter of a strong-willed wallflower who long ago eloped with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent—the most devilishly wicked rake in England.

Before long, Phoebe sets out to seduce the man who has awakened her fiery nature and shown her unimaginable pleasure. Will their overwhelming passion be enough to overcome the obstacles of thepast? Only the devil’s daughter knows…

Maybe Ever After by Cassie Grahan

January 22, 2019

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Barclay Publicity in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Maybe Ever After by Cassie Grahan was a great book. This is the first book I have read by this author and I know that I will read more books by her in the future because I really enjoyed this book and her writing. I did at times feel like certain points were super drawn out and maybe could have been shortened but it wasn’t bad enough that I wanted to put the book down. There were parts that I found to be predictable but that almost always happens to me because of the number of books that I have read. There were also parts that might make people uncomfortable because it was kind of graphic, but it is between two consenting adults, so they didn’t bother me. This book was a super easy read for me, and I was able to finish it in just over a day and I also love books that I can read super quick. All in all, I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more books by this author in the future. If you love chick lit books I would pick this one up because I am sure that most people that like that genre will enjoy this book like I did.

Taking Control: Rick’s Story by Morgan Malone

September 27, 2018

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Pump Up Your Book in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Taking Control: Rick’s Story by Morgan Malone was a sweet book. I felt bad for Rick and Britt because of everything they had to go through to get to this point in their lives. I was able to read this book in couple of days and the end of the book left me smiling. I did find that it was kind of predictable but that is just what happens when I read these types of books. I am sure that most people would enjoy this book because it was an easy read and sweet story. I really did enjoy this author’s writing and I will be checking out more books by her in the future. If you are someone who loves to read chick-lit than I am sure you will enjoy this book just as much as I did.

About The Book

Title: TAKING CONTROL: RICK’S STORY
Author: Morgan Malone
Publisher: Independent
Pages: 170
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Summer on the Jersey Shore and all Rick Sheridan wants is some solitude at his beach house. Then he spots a lean, leggy blonde coming out of the surf and his plans are shot to hell. And the dangerous looking knife strapped to her arm tells him this is no damsel in distress. As a not-so retired Marine, at 51, Rick’s learned that nothing is for certain, plans can spin out of control and shit happens.

Wounded and weary from one too many wars, Britt Capshaw thought a summer at the Shore, hanging out in her family’s beach cottage, would help her heal. And figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Out of the military, disillusioned and distrustful of any two-legged male, Britt’s one love is Alex, the yellow Labrador retriever she rescued from Afghanistan.

Rick and Britt are immediately attracted to one another, but after years in combat, they are wary of letting down their guard, of giving up control. The summer heats up and fireworks are flying between them even after the Fourth of July. But, ghosts from their pasts haunt them and finally bring them face to face with some dark secrets that may destroy the fragile trust they’ve built.

Can Britt trust Rick with her dangerous past? Will Rick be able to let go of the rigid control he needs to keep Britt and himself safe from more heartbreak? These two brave souls fight against surrendering their hearts and finally finding love. Who will win?

About The Author

Morgan Malone is the pen name of a retired lawyer who turned in her judicial robes to write romantic memoir and sexy contemporary romance, which always features silver foxes and the independent women who tame them.

Morgan fell in love with romantic heroes after reading her mother’s first edition of “Gone with the Wind” when she was 12 years old. Rhett Butler became the standard by which she measured all men. Some have met the mark, most have failed to even come close and one or two surpassed even Rhett’s dark and dangerous allure.

Morgan lives near Saratoga Springs, NY with her beloved chocolate Lab. She can be found on occasion drinking margaritas and dancing at local hostelries, but look for her most often in independent book stores and the library, searching for her next great love in tales of romance, history, adventure and lust. When she can’t find the perfect man, she retreats to her upstairs office and creates him, body and soul, for her pleasure and for yours. Remember: love, like wine, gets better with age.

Her recent novel is the contemporary romance, Taking Control: Rick’s Story.

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

September 25, 2018

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis was another great book by this author. I have read all the books in this series and I believe that I liked them all. You don’t have to read all the books if you aren’t interested in them because they all can be read as stand-alone books. I have to say that I enjoyed Molly throughout this entire book because I could see a lot of myself in her. I also loved that she kept Lucas thinking that the had slept together even though they didn’t. I spent a good part of this book just smiling because of Molly and Lucas and the things that happened to both. If you are looking for a sweet story to read this fall than I know you will enjoy this book.

About The Book

Who needs mistletoe?

Most people wouldn’t think of a bad Santa case as the perfect Christmas gift. Then again, Molly Malone, office manager at Hunt Investigations, isn’t most people, and she could really use a distraction from the fantasies she’s been having since spending the night with her very secret crush, Lucas Knight. Nothing happened, not that Lucas knows that—but Molly just wants to enjoy being a little naughty for once . . .

Whiskey and pain meds for almost-healed bullet wounds don’t mix. Lucas needs to remember that next time he’s shot on the job, which may be sooner rather than later if Molly’s brother, Joe, finds out about them. Lucas can’t believe he’s drawing a blank on his (supposedly) passionate tryst with Molly, who’s the hottest, smartest, strongest woman he’s ever known. Strong enough to kick his butt if she discovers he’s been assigned to babysit her on her first case. And hot enough to melt his cold heart this Christmas.
