Archer and Everleigh’s story continues to be full of twists, turns, suspense and plenty of spice.

The past has caught up to them, but can the overcome the skeletons in their closets and have the happily ever after that they deserve? Archer and Everleigh are both determined to fight back and find out who is tormenting and threatening them.

The chemistry between Archer and Everleigh continues to be off the charts. I absolutely love their relationship. Archer is insanely protective of her, even more so with everything that is going on in their lives. I love that Everleigh isn’t just going to sit back and hide. She isn’t afraid to fight back and she isn’t afraid to live her life.

I loved the conclusion to Archer and Everleigh’s story, along with the conclusion to the series as a whole. It’s been a journey from the very beginning of the entire series until the very end but everything was worth it in the end.

Alex and Savannah come from different backgrounds, but they both have a passion from swimming. Their meet cute was at the pool they both use, but their paths cross again, when Savannah becomes a consultant for Alex’s business.

I loved the chemistry and the tension between the two of them. Alex has always been on his own, he isn’t one for relationships or any sort of emotional connection, but Savannah instantly catches him off guard and he knows there is something special about her. Savannah has heard about Alex’s past and is willing to just have a little fine with nothing serious. However, she can’t resist his charms.

I loved how effortless everything was between the two of them. Alex, despite having never been in a relationship, is super sweet, caring and willing to talk through things with Savannah. Savannah is stubborn at times and wants to be independent, but I love that she slowly lets Alex in.

Seductive Swimmer was just a fun book to read from start to finish. I loved Alex, Savannah and their relationship, plus Molly…she was such a fun addition to this story.

BOOK 1:

First off, this entire crew is absolutely amazing and I’m just going come out in say it now, but Mace is my favorite and I already want to claim him. Now, onto Mace’s cousin, Gage, and his best friend, Lil.

This book starts 4 months in the future so the prologue is a little confusion but it all makes sense as you read through the rest of the story. Thinking back to the prologue after finishing the book, it truly breaks my heart to know what happened.

I absolutely love Lil. As Mace puts it, she is hell on wheels. The girl is feisty and she gives as good as she gets. Though under that tough exterior she is broken, she has had her heart broken in a terrible way. She doesn’t give her heart easily or to just anyone. She is also a total badass, a fighter and stronger than she realizes. Gage is rough, rugged and has a total bad boy vibe, but he is also hiding his past, his heart break. He doesn’t want to be attracted with Lil, but he also can’t deny their chemistry.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and I may have yelled at my kindle telling those men to hurry up! You’ll understand exactly what I mean once you’ve read the story.

Gage and Lil are two people who have experienced loss and pain in the past and they found each other when they both needed it most and were able to mend their hearts and break down the walls they both built up for themselves. But will the past destroy everything they built?

This story was unexpected. It had laughs, it had steaminess, it had drama and it had unexpected suspense. There are twists and turns you may not necessarily suspect and that is what makes this story stand out.

BOOK 2:

MASON FREAKIN’ WESTBROOK!!!! This man is seriously SWOON WORTHY! Mace was first introduced in Break for Me and I was instantly in love with his character. I was waiting for his story and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. It was SO MUCH more than I could have ever hoped for and there is so much more to Mace than I ever expected. I couldn’t get enough of this story!!

Mace and Jess are PERFECT for each other. There is an instant connection between the two of them and it is a connection like no other. Jess comes back into Mace’s life after he helps her sister and she leaves behind a necklace that means more than anything to her. Mace is rather persistent in getting Jess to spend time with him and to eventually go on a date with him. I love how seamlessly Jess fits in with the crew and how easily they embrace her.

Jess is broken. She has struggled her entire life. Like Mace, there is so much more to her than I could have expected. Mace just wants to help her. He wants to be there for her. He wants to knock down all the walls that she has built around herself. He would do anything to protect her, her sister and her niece. I mean THIS MAN RISKED HIS LIFE FOR HER!

I couldn’t put this book down! I loved every single moment of the story. It was sweet, it was suspenseful, it was steamy and it was emotional. I felt every single emotion while reading this book and I would read it again in a heartbeat. I This book and this series are a MUST READ!

BOOK 3:

Trav quickly moved into my second favorite member of the NSC, sorry not sorry Mace will always be my #1. I loved every single moment of this book, I couldn’t put it down.

Trav is the partier, the joker of the crew. He likes to have is fun. When he meets a skeleton while out celebrating, there is an instant attraction and this leads to one of the best nights of his life, however, he never see’s the girl again. Doesn’t know what she looks like or what her name is. Dylan Jackson just wants to blend in. She wants to live her life without fear and wants to be herself. When she starts working at the same shop as Trav there is an instant connection between the two of them. Trav may have met his match when it comes to Dylan but will they be able to make it through the secrets and lies?

I LOVED Dylan. She is sassy, snarky and not afraid to put Trav in his place when he needs it. She is a strong woman, despite being threatened. I loved Trav’s determination when it came to pursuing Dylan was great. He was intrigued by her and couldn’t stay away. I loved how easily and seamlessly Dylan fit in the with the crew. She is definitely a great fit with the bunch.

Lie for Me is full of suspense, angst, friendship, love and the craziness I’ve come to expect from the entire NSC. A MUST READ BOOK!

BOOK 4:

Nico has always been the mysterious one of the crew. There have been little bits and pieces of him in the previous books, but we still didn’t know a ton about him, other than he is in the army. I’ve been looking forward to his story, to learn more about this mysterious man.

Nico is army. He is getting ready to deploy again. A bad omen comes from his mother. He prepares himself and his friends. Brooklyn works at the camp, she cuts hair. Her brother always told her to stay away from the army boys, obviously she doesn’t listen because when Nico walks in everything changes.

I loved the chemistry between Nico and Brooklyn. They were instantly drawn to each other, they couldn’t stay away. However, Nico knew this could never last but a little time together is better than nothing. Nico is calm, controlled and Brooklyn is a feisty thing and isn’t afraid to speak up and stand up. I couldn’t get enough of these two. They both balanced each other.

I didn’t expect for this book to emotional destroy me and break my heart, though. Seriously, I knew a few pages in I was going to be ugly crying through a good chunk and I wasn’t wrong. My heart broke for Nico. His pain, his loss, everything he went through. My heart broke for Brooklyn because of what she went through with Nico, when she didn’t know what was going on. I may have also wanted to slap Nico and time or two in the beginning for being an idiot.

Fight For Me is an emotional military romance that will shatter your soul, but slowly piece it back together. A MUST READ!

BOOK 5:

Burn For Me is bittersweet. It is the final book of the North Shore Crew series and from the beginning I have been in love with this entire crew. Each person is different and has overcome their own personal battles to find the happiness they truly deserve. From the beginning, there has always been something between Mickey and Kimmie but we never knew the true story. Until now. Their story was everything I could have wanted and more. It was tragic, emotional, beautiful and truly perfect.

Kimmie and Mickey have been friends their entire lives. They have always had an on and off again relationship, though recently everything has been purely physical. There is still so much love and chemistry between them. There is also pain, heartbreak and some unresolved emotions from their past. They haven’t had an easy road, sometimes they haven’t even had each other to lean on for support along the way.

Mickey and Kimmie’s story is one I felt deep down in my bones. Their story touched me. It made me cry. It made me laugh. It made me want throw my kindle and knock some sense into Mickey at times. It made me frustrated with Kimmie at times. I felt so much while reading this story, but I loved every single moment of it.

Burn For Me is a MUST READ, along with the rest of the books in the North Shore Crew series.

This is such a fun prequel novella!

I loved getting to see what started Chloe’s dating adventures. Plus, how Chloe, Charlotte and Austin all became friends. I loved getting to know the history, especially after reading the last year of Chloe’s adventures.

There are plenty of laughs and heat packed into the short story. Plus, if you haven’t read all about Chloe’s adventures you will need to check those out!

If you’re looking for a fun, prequel Holiday novella this is one to read!

From page one I completely fell in love with this story and the characters. Bailey and Riggs are both characters that have more to them than what you see on the outside. Their story is fun, it is extremely emotional and also brings the spice.

I LOVE Bailey with a passion. She is fierce, strong, sassy, hardworking and caring. I loved seeing her growth throughout the course of this story and open up to people again. I love Riggs, but at times I strongly disliked him. But a man who loves to bake and the love he has for his mom? It’s downright swoony. Plus, after hearing his full story it is hard to dislike him anymore.

I loved the banter between Bailey and Riggs from the moment they met. Their chemistry is enough to heat up those cold winter nights. I love how drawn they are to each other, even when they may be in the enemies stages of their relationship. Their shared passion for baking and the fact that they both have different strengths when it comes to that makes them the best partners.

This is a review for Jingle Devil by Melissa Ivers

Mick Weller has been daydreaming so not so nice thoughts about his new assistant. But the fact she is his assistant and practically half his age has stopped him from going any further. Tessa is also been having some not so nice thoughts about the man she was hired to help. One bet leads to one epic Christmas eve for the two of them.

While short, this story brings a lot to the table. Insane chemistry, plenty of spice and some sweet moments mixed in. I absolutely adored Mick and Tessa. Their story was a fun holiday treat and I hope that there is more of them in the future!

If you’re looking for an age gap, workplace, sports romance this is one to read.

From reading the previous books in the series I knew this one would be an emotional journey. Bishop and Abby fell in love at a young age, but they are perfect for each other. Their story shows that life isn’t always easy and neither are relationships.

You never forget your first love and that is the case for Bishop and Abby. However, there is a lot of heartbreak and pain that occurred in the last two years between them. Each of them struggled individually. Now, time has passed and things have changed. Abby realized that it was time to stop running, to stop hiding. But is it too late for her and Bishop?

I LOVED Bishop and Abby. Their story is heartbreaking, but also something real. Something that many people experience. The love, the chemistry and the connection is still so strong between them. You can feel that from the start. Their journey individually and as a couple was something they needed and I loved being along for the ride.

This story is full of emotions, love, spice and even a couple laughs (hello, slumber party). I love the small town of Boggy Creek and I can’t wait to return back to the town and to this group of friends and family.

If you’re looking for a small town, second chance romance this is one to read!

Stefan Dalca has been the villain throughout the Gold Rush Ranch series but dear lord do I love that man! Probably way more than I should. I LOVED this book so much.

Stefan doesn’t have the best reputation but really there is not a lot that people know about that man. He is somewhat mysterious and is pretty closed off. He is truly misunderstood and as the layers of this man are peeled back it is easy to fall for him and see that deep down inside he is just lost and broken. Mira is just a loveable character. She is full of so much love and she is so caring. She is also pretty closed off and doesn’t open up to a lot of people.

The CHEMISTRY. The SPICE. The SWOON. I couldn’t get enough of Stefan and Mira together. Despite Mira trying to avoid his advances and laughing them off there is so much between them. They are so perfect for each other from the start. They bring out different things in each other and balance each other out.

I can’t wait to return to Gold Rush Ranch and I am really hoping that we get more of a certain sibling next!

If you’re looking for a steamy, small town, enemies to lovers, fake dating romance this is the one to read!

From page one of this book I was HOOKED. I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading it in one sitting.

Tanner is the perfect mixture of alpha male and sweet. Seriously, the man is perfect. It is impossible not to instantly fall in love with his character. He came from a rough background, but has spent his entire life working hard to make sure the future is better than his past. Cybil has had some bad luck in her life, but she is still going. I love that she isn’t afraid to go on an outdoor couples retreat alone, sure it was nonrefundable but she could have just taken the loss.

The moment Tanner and Cybil meet they don’t get off on the right foot, however, the second meeting there is a change. I love the instant connection between the two of them. Tanner became instantly protective over Cybil, but not in an overbearing way. There were so many sweet moments between them as the both go to know each other and they learned that they work pretty well together, too.

There is some drama in the book, however, I appreciated the fact that there wasn’t unnecessary drama that created a rift between Tanner and Cybil. I loved seeing them work through it all together versus apart and making themselves miserable in the process.

I am already DYING for book two in this series and can’t wait to go on another adventure!

If you’re looking for an insta love, small town, strangers to lovers, forced proximity story this is one to check out!

The chemistry. The banter. The spice. The love. It is all top notch! I couldn’t get enough of Easton and Bellamy!

Easton is a charmer. He is successful and competitive. He runs an exclusive matchmaking business. Bellamy is smart, confident and runs a successful romance podcast. She forms an interest in Easton and his business. The two of them both have careers that revolve around romance, yet they have significantly different views about it.

The chemistry between Easton and Bellamy. It is instant from the moment they meet and continues to sizzle below the surface until there is no denying the connection they have. I loved the back and forth between the two of them from the start. Their e-mail conversations are absolutely hilarious. They may not agree on things, but I love that there is also somewhat of a mutual understanding between them.

It was amazing to return the Big Rock world and see many familiar faces and places, but also get introduced to new characters. Even though it is book 7 in a series, it can easily be read as a standalone!
