Sugar Babies by Mickey J. Corrigan was a super exciting book. I loved that it gave me a small look into what being a sugar baby might be like. This book was a super easy read, and I was able to read in over a couple of days, and it left me wanting more. I felt like the characters were all real people and I love when that happens. I have read one other book by this author, and if you want to check out that review, you can click right here. So far I have liked both of the books that I have read by her, and I can’t wait to read another by her in the future. If you are looking for a different type of book to read I would for sure recommend this one to you because I am sure you will love it just as much as I did.
About The Book
Young, beautiful, and hungry, Esme, Maire, and Niki want what every woman wants: love, work, safe shelter, the bills paid off, a diamond-studded Rolex and a two-bedroom condo with an ocean view. Working as sugar babies seems to be the only way to make this happen. But the sugar life is more dangerous than they thought.

First Crush, Last Love by Elizabeth McKenna was a fantastic book. I loved that you meet the characters when they are in their senior year in high school, and you follow along as they grow up. I loved this because it felt like I was growing up with them and it also helped me understand their lives. I wasn’t a massive fan of Lee throughout most of the book, but I didn’t hate him either. I really liked Jessie, but I got annoyed when she stayed with her ex-husband because no one deserves to be treated like she was. This author did a great job of making the story come to life for me, and I know that I will be reading more of her books in the future. If you love romance books that I know you will love this book just as much as I did.

About The Author
Elizabeth McKenna works as a full-time technical writer/editor for a large software company. Though her love of books reaches back to her childhood, she had never read romance novels until one Christmas when her sister gave her the latest bestseller by Nora Roberts. She was hooked from page one (actually, she admits it was the first love scene).
She had always wanted to write fiction, so she combined her love of history, romance and a happy ending to write Cera’s Place and Venice in the Moonlight. Her short story, The Gypsy Casts a Spell, is available for free on her site http://elizabethmckenna.com/. She hopes you will enjoy her first contemporary romance novel, First Crush Last Love, as much as others have enjoyed her historical romances.
Elizabeth lives in Wisconsin with her understanding husband, two beautiful daughters, and a sassy Labrador. When she isn’t writing, working, or being a mom, she’s sleeping.

Pupcakes by Annie England Noblin was a fun book to read. I enjoyed the characters in this book, but I think my favorite part of this book was the dogs. I am such an animal lover that when books have animals in them, they usually end up being my favorite characters in the book. Throughout most of the book, I was a huge fan of Nathan, but Brydie got on my nerves because at times she seems like she was always whining about her life and her past. There is one thing that bugs me, but in the end, it isn’t really that big of a deal. On the back of the book, she says that Nathan is a veterinarian, but in the book, he is an ER doctor that also works at a nursing home. This just bothered me because I thought I was crazy when I noticed that difference but in the end, I wasn’t crazy. Other than that one point I really did enjoy this book, and I can’t wait until she writes another book because so far I have liked the other book that I have read by her as well.
About The Book
Sit! Stay! Speak! author Annie England Noblin’s novel takes one woman starting over, adds an aging pug named Teddy Roosevelt, and proves the power of a well-baked dog treat.
All she wants is a settled-down life.
What she gets is a dog—and a whole new normal . . .
There he stood in the doorway: overweight, depressed and nearly homeless—a pug named Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was Brydie Benson’s latest problem, arriving on top of her messy divorce and sudden move. Brydie needed a place to start over, so this rent-free home seemed a great idea. She just never counted on Teddy, or his owner, the Germantown Retirement Village’s toughest customer, Pauline Neumann.
And because rent-free doesn’t mean bills-free, Brydie gets a night-shift job at a big-box grocery. Whoever guessed there were so many people who wanted baked goods after midnight?
Then, she gets an idea—why not combine her baking skills with her new-found dog knowledge? And so her store Pupcakes is born. Along with a new start comes a possible new love, in the form of Nathan Reid, a local doctor with a sassy Irish Wolfhound named Sasha. And as fall turns to winter, and then to Christmas, Brydie begins to realize that life is a little bit like learning a new recipe for puff pastry—it takes a few tries to get it just right!

Chasing Christmas Eve by Jill Shalvis was a sweet Christmas story. I fell in love with Colbie right at the start and didn’t stop loving her even after the book had come to an end. She is one of the characters that I think about as if she is a real person that I know in my real life. I also really enjoyed Spence, but at times I did roll my eyes at things he would say or do. This author did a great job of making you understand the characters and the choices that they made throughout the book. This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I can’t wait to check out other books by her in the future. If you are looking for a sweet story to read this Christmas season, this is one that I would recommend for you to read.
About The Book
Meet cute…
Run for the hills—temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long.
Make merry…
Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself… just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she “gets” Spence immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it?
…and hope for a miracle.
Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime.

One Summer Night by Caridad Pineiro was a sweet but predictable book. Even when saying that I fell in love with the characters and the setting so much that I am going to read other books by this author. I was such a huge fan of Owen throughout the entire book. Maggie at times did get on my nerves but I did like her more than her friend Tracy. Tracy right from the start got on my damn nerves right from the first chapter. I was so glad that she wasn’t a super big part of the plot because she just bugged me. This was a very typical book in this genre but I still really enjoyed it and the author writing as I said before. If you love chick lit than I am sure you will enjoy this story as much as I did.

Bringing Maggie Home by Kim Vogel Sawyer was a book that I fell in love with. This book combined two of the things that I currently love. It combined reading, and it also combined my love for real crime / cold cases. I also love this author writing, so this book had quite a bit to live up to, and I am happy to say that I enjoyed this book and was sad when I was done reading it. I loved trying to figure out what happened to Maggie right along with the characters in this book. I wasn’t able to figure it out before we find out the whole story so I loved that about this book. Since this is Christian fiction, you don’t have to worry too much about what is going to happen during the book. There is one thing that bugged me throughout the book and was Meghan’s mom Diane. She reminded me of a pissed off teenage throughout the book, and I spend more time annoyed with how she acted and the things that she said to Hazel and Meghan. All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and I am sure anyone who loves cold cases would also like this book.
About The Book
Decades of Loss, an Unsolved Mystery,

While Diane resents her mother’s inexplicable eccentricities, her daughter Meghan—a cold case agent—cherishes her grandmother’s lavish attention and affection.
When a traffic accident forces Meghan to take a six-week leave-of-absence to recover, all three generations of DeFord women find themselves unexpectedly under the same roof. Meghan knows she will have to act as a mediator between the two headstrong and contentious women. But when they uncover Hazel’s painful secret, will Meghan also be able to use her investigative prowess to solve the family mystery and help bothwomen recover all that’s been lost?
