Cage has gotten himself into a little bit of situation and it was fun to see how he got himself out of it.

Cage is a former Navy Seal and a member of the Jameson Force Security team. He isn’t one to typically do relationships, however, one night when he meets a woman for a one night stand he quickly realizes that there is something more there.

Cage and Jamie’s relationship progresses quickly, but that is not surprising with their amazing and electric chemistry. Cage had some moments that made you want to knock some sense into him, especially when it came to admitting the truth to Jamie, however, he was also very protective of her.
I loved getting some overlap with Code Name: Ghost and seeing everything from a different point of view. This story can easily be read as a standalone, but I HIGHLY recommend reading this entire series, plus you’ll get to know all the other members of the Jameson Force crew.

Code Name: Rook is a suspenseful, insta love romance that is a great addition to the series.

Scott Sebastian is dominant, an alpha male, CEO, and a man who knows what he wants. He rules the city. Tess is hardworking, she is risking everything doing something she is passionate about.

Scott and Tess are both drawn to each other. They have INSANE chemistry. I loved the push and pull between these two from the start. Scott is the typical man who doesn’t do commitment, however, Tess is the type who does and she knows that she is putting her heart at risk when it comes to Scott.

Man in Charge is a heat filled new billionaire romance coming from Laurelin Paige. This book will completely suck you in from the very start and that shocking cliffhanger will have you begging for more!

A MUST READ and I can’t wait to see where Scott and Tess’s story goes.

Chasing the Moon is beautiful, mesmerizing, captivating second chance romance that will creep its way into your heart and soul.

Selene fell in love at eleven and that love forever changed her fate. Her story was heartbreaking, but she is a fighter, a survivor and proved herself no matter what life throws at her. Her relationship with her daughter, Luna, was beautiful and sweet. They have such a strong bond and I loved every single moment of them together.

Endymion is clueless to Selene’s crush, however, there is something about her that draws him in. Even after 5 years, he is drawn to her, there is something about her that his heart and soul recognizes. He is kind of a jerk, however, he does have a sweet side that comes out when he spends time with Selene and Luna.

Selene and Endymion’s chemistry is truly beautiful and it is that of the stars and the moon. Their relationship is full of ups and downs. It is so emotional. It is one that will stick with you long after reading.

Chasing the Moon is a small-town romance, second chance romance that is beautifully weaved with Greek Mythology and is a MUST READ!

Claire Raye what on earth did you do with my emotions? Ruin Me ruined me and there is so much more to this story than just a romance.

I knew going into this story that Caleb’s story will completely shatter me and this did that and more. This story was NOTHING like I expected and I loved every single moment of it. My heart breaks for Caleb and everything he went through in Providence and the aftermath that now has on him. The quick friendship he formed with Ruby is everything. I love it. I love how supportive Ruby is, how she doesn’t push him, she doesn’t force him, she doesn’t judge him. She is that shoulder he needs, that calm to the storm in his head. Their bond is deep. Caleb and Ruby’s story isn’t sweet and simple. It’s full of angst, passion, suspense. It is beautiful and I love seeing these two people learn to be the shoulder the other can lean on.

There are parts of this story that hit my deep in my soul. Parts I completely connected with because I knew exactly how Ruby was feeling in those moments. Parts that will forever stick with me because of how emotional they made me.

One of the things I love most about Claire Raye is the fact they aren’t afraid to handle tough topics. They don’t sugar coat anything. They don’t romanticize it. They show the struggles, the emotions and the effects it can have on the individual, but also those around them. PTSD can affect many people and it isn’t something that you’ll know if someone is suffering from it, like Caleb.

Ruin Me does end on one doozy of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see where Ruby and Caleb’s story goes. Ruin Me is a MUST READ best friends brother romance that will hit you deep.

Thank you Claire Raye for the advanced copy of their story.

If you’re a fan of the dark, the twisted, the dirty, the taboo and love a Cinderella story than this is one book you will want to read!

Stroke of Midnight will completely suck you in from the very start. It will take you on a dark and twisted ride that you’ll never want to end.

Ash may seem like she has it all, but in reality, she has to now work hard for her dreams. She has a stepmother who is all about the status in society and three stepbrothers who think their newest stepsister is theirs. I love that she isn’t a weak woman. She is strong and isn’t afraid to embrace her darkest desires. I love how she stands up to Winston and can give as good as she can get at times. Winston is a powerful man and he knows it. He is used to throwing money to get what he wants and Ash is no different.

The relationship between Ash and Winston is unconventional, but these two have insane amounts of chemistry from the moment they met. It is dark and twisted, but there were also some sweet and lighter moments between the two of them.

Stroke of Midnight is book one duet, so it does end on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see how Ash and Winston’s story continues…..

A MUST READ for anyone who loves some twisted fairytales and some taboo mixed with their romance.

Worth the Wait is the perfect mix of sweet romance, great friendships and suspense.

Claire has a stalker and a crazy ex. She hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to relationships. Caleb is in the air force and like Claire, he hasn’t had the best of luck with relationships in the past and decides he is just done dating for a while. However, when he runs into Claire and there is an instant spark between them that plan quickly changes.

I loved Claire and Caleb’s relationship from the start! There was a sweetness and easy going feeling when it came to them and everything just felt so effortless. There was an instant attraction and the more time they spend together sparks really start to fly. Caleb is protective of Claire, but not in an overbearing way. He helps her learn more techniques that she can use to protect herself. Their relationship is truly beautiful.

I wasn’t a fan of Claire’s mother and her pushing Claire constantly to be with her ex. I also was not a fan of Claire’s ex! He’s selfish and controlling and just not attractive in any way. Claire and Caleb’s group of friends was a great addition to the story. Claire’s best friend, Tina, plus Caleb’s friends, Joseph and Mike. There were so many great scenes between this group that just had wanting to join them!

Worth the Wait is book two in the Southern Fairy tale series but can 100% be read as a standalone story!

If you are looking for a sweet romance with some suspense mixed in this one is a MUST READ!

Going into this book I had NO IDEA what to expect. Cruel Kisses took me on one crazy, emotional roller coaster ride.

There are more secrets, more truths, and a whole lot more questions that come up throughout this book. Mia and Julian’s chemistry continues to grow hotter, their connection to one another continues to prove just how strong it truly is and how these two broken people really need each other. Their relationship is far from easy, it is a battle and there are things out of their control that can affect them both.

I loved the bond between Liam, Cole and Julian. It isn’t perfect and they all have their ups and downs with each other; however, they know they can count on each other. Mia and Liam’s relationship is also something I enjoy. Cole and Mia’s relationship is also something I really love. There wasn’t a lot of it, but when it does, they have such a sibling vibe with each other it is almost sweet. Plus, Cole and Liam continue to play major roles in Mia and Julian’s twisted story.

You will need to read book one, Devious Kisses, before reading this or else nothing will make sense. Also be warned, this book isn’t for everyone and it does end on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see where Mia and Julian’s story goes.

Cruel Kisses is a captivating, rollercoaster ride that you won’t be able to put down.


Big Man’s Bride is another fast-paced marriage of convenience story from Penny Wylder.

Ally wants to buy back the home her grandfather used to own, only to find out when she finally has the money for a down payment it has been sold. However, she isn’t going to go down without a fight. Caleb may come from money, but his family life isn’t the best. They expect him to settle down with a good woman. Which leads him to making a little deal with Ally. All he wants is one month and she can have the home she wants more than anything.

There is an instant connection between Ally and Caleb from the moment they meet. Things quickly progress for their relationship and the chemistry between them never fizzled.

If you’re looking for a quick read that has some steam and a sweet romance this is one to check out.


Sweet Solitude is the first book I’ve read from Sav R. Miller and I know it won’t be my last. This book sucked me in from the prologue and I couldn’t put it down. It is the second book in a series; however, it can be read as a standalone.

Juliet is dealing with a few demons. Her father is a horrible man, her mother left her. All she has left is her sister and her brother in law. Kieran has his own demons from his line of work. There is something about Juliet that draws him in, he can see the real person. Juliet is drawn to Kieran, to the darkness. The chemistry between these two is palpable. They are both fighting demons and darkness and they can fight them much better together. Juliet brings out a softer side to Kieran and he gives her the confidence she always needed.

This story is dark, it is steamy, and it was full of unexpected twists and turns. If you enjoy dark romances and anti-heroes than this is one story you will want to read.

Who doesn’t love Holiday RomComs!? This collection of stories really has something for everyone and is full of laughs, love, holiday recipes and family.

I’ll go a little more in depth for three of stories featured in this collection, but they are all amazing stories.

Gingerbread Showdown by Piper Rayne

If you’ve read any of the books in the Hollywood Hearts series by Piper Rayne, you’ll recognize a few of the characters mentioned. I absolutely loved Sophie and Trent’s story. They had instant chemistry and their story is just a sweet one. You never expect to see your one-night stand again, however, that wasn’t the case for Sophie and things quickly progress from there. I couldn’t get enough of them!

Bakers Dozen by Kali Brixton

A single dad holiday romance? YES PLEASE! Scott is a single dad to ten children and the owner of a coffee shop. Nova needs a change and her aunt gets her a job at the coffee shop. Instant chemistry between Scott and Nova, even though it takes Scott some time to realize what is right in front of him. Great relationship between Scott and his kids, but also Nova and the kids. The entire Baker family is just drawn to her. She is the one who can help them all heal. I loved every single moment of this story.

Nog or Never by Melissa Williams

A hilarious brother’s best friend romance. Belinda works at a bakery and is also a baking teacher. She has had a crush on her brother’s friend for a long time. Luke left town a year ago for a job and now he is back in town and ready to tell Belinda how he feels. I loved the banter between Belinda and Luke and their chemistry was amazing. I couldn’t get enough of Belinda and Luke’s story!
