This is my first non-Stealth OPS book by Britteny Sahin. She delivered the same heartwarming feels that I love from her. I loved how both Noah and Grace are such caring people and always looking out for those that they love in their lives. I was surprised by how Grace’s forced engagement was handled. I loved getting to see Luke and Jessica and Owen in this story! If you’re looking for a read that is sweet and will make you feel lots of feels then look no further.

This story by Blue Saffire kept me guessing what was going to happen from the beginning. I loved Quinn and Alicia’s meet cute. Quinn’s connection with his family was heartwarming and his loyalty and dedication to protecting his own was admirable. I loved Alicia! I loved all her hobbies and her best friends. I enjoyed how Alicia was able to connect with Quinn’s family. The mystery around Quinn’s case is solved, but there are still a few threads that go unanswered. These threads I think will be solved in the following books in the series.

**Spoilers For the Second Book In The Duet**

The first and second books are told from mainly a podcast style. This format allows for funny moments from the technical and producer staff. This story telling method was a unique one for me and I found it fun and refreshing. I loved that Max Monroe used this duet to give us both sides of the story!

The first book has me hooked with Lucky’s funny self-deprecation and outlooks on the world. I kept wanting to see what was going to happen between her and the other characters. I enjoyed how easily she was able to make friends and her dedication to her job. Her banter with Oliver was hilarious and angsty. The end of this book had me curious how the second book was going to finish Lucky and Oliver’s tale.

I loved that the second book was from Oliver’s perspective and then at the every end both Oliver and Lucky. To hear how Oliver saw everything helped the reader to understand how Oliver and Lucky didn’t share a common view and had so many misunderstandings. Oliver’s love of Lucky tugged at my heart and made me melt for him. I wanted to shout at Lucky that she was being dumb so many times, even though I knew her side from the previous book.

I have yet to read a Max Monroe book that didn’t keep me reading, laughing, and rooting for the couple to find their happily ever after. This duet was fun due to it’s podcast style writing and dual perspectives.

Forever Never is a romantic suspense novel that kept me wondering how Brick was going to get Remi to open up and then save her. The tension and chemistry between these two was hot. I thought my kindle might melt from their heat. I love how Lucy Score can write such deep characters and have such insight into how they would react and deal with so many different situations. I can’t get enough of her writing!

The setting was interesting and fresh. The situations that Remi kept finding herself in made me glad that Brick was there to have her back. I was irritated with Brick in the beginning for how he treated Remi, but as the book progressed I couldn’t help but fall in love with him too! I’d give Forever Never five out five stars!

How It’s Supposed To Be is a great example of why I love T.S. Joyce! This novella made me fall hard for her characters. I’m always blown away with how deeply invested in her characters I become. I loved how sweet Auxor was under his brooding exterior. Allowing Gwen to play with his chickens and piglets was so adorable. The way Auxor helped build Gwen’s confidence back was heartwarming! I am enthralled with all of T.S. Joyce’s bear shifter romances! I just can’t get enough of her work

How It Has To Be is my favorite Oath of Bane book. T.S. Joyce knocked it out the park creating characters that I connected with and fell in love with. I love this world she has created for the Bane brothers. I couldn’t help but devour this story to learn more about the Bane brothers’ past and their connection with the crows. This is the kind of world that made me fall in love with T.S. Joyce in the first place.

I loved how Brick showed his devotion to Trinity and Tucker by helping with things around her property. I loved how Trinity helped show Brick what it truly means to be loved and cared for. My heart melted whenever Tucker called Brick, Mr. Bear. The way that Brick cares for Tucker, even though he is not his son or even the same shifter species was super endearing. I’m so in love with this book.

Claire Kingsley wrote such a swoony Bailey brother story. Chasing Her Fire might just make Logan my favorite Bailey Brother. I adored how Logan and Cara had to come to terms with their one night stand and act like adults. Their growth together was so mature and I really appreciated that aspect of this story. Logan’s relationship with Cara and how he understood her and her needs made him so swoony. The building tensions between the Bailey’s and Haven’s has ratcheted up to extreme levels! The mystery surrounding the Montgomery Treasure is further explored and those crazy squirrels are definitely up to no good. This was a wonderful continuation of the Bailey Brothers Series! I loved it so much! I can’t wait for Levi’s story so that we can finally figure out what happened to Eliza, John, and the Montgomery Treasure.

Fury of a Phoenix by Shannon Mayer started out intense and kept going. I couldn’t put this book (or the rest of the series) down. I found all the characters to be intriguing. I had to know what Phoenix would do next after each situation she found herself in. While this book ended with some questions / situations unanswered it worked well with the way this series was written. I absolutely loved Phoenix’s supernatural world!

Andrew Mayne’s second book, Black Coral, in his Underwater Investigation Unit Series was an enthralling tale filled with copious amounts to conflict, suspense, and tension. I could not put this book down. Seriously, I had to know what was going to happen next. I probably stayed up way too late reading, and then dove right back in when I woke up.

The way that Andrew Mayne writes conflict and suspense had me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out how Sloan was going to get out of each situation she found herself in. I felt like I was right next to her on each dive, hoping that no alligators were going to close in. I also gotta say, I was totally surprised by the killer in this story. I did not see the who or how coming and was totally worried for Sloan as the book progressed. My only hiccup with this book was that the interactions between Sloan’s family were not as prominent, and I can’t help but want to know more about them all. I’m super in love with this series and can’t wait until next year for the third installment, currently titled Sea Storm.
