Charmed by the Bartender by Piper Rayne started off a bit slow, for me, and then sucked me in till Cole and Whitney got their happy ending! The secrets that Cole was keeping surprised me! Cole was definitely the book boyfriend I needed. His dialogue was so swoony! This story had some funny, sexy, and emotional moments.

Serving Up Hex by Tara Lush is a fabulous fifth installment in the Crescent Moon Mystery series. The intrigue around Dominic's death lead to many fun sleuthing moments. I appreciated how the Coven helped Amelia and Liz in so many different ways. The continued women helping women theme was fantastic. Overall, Serving Up Hex was a fun cozy mystery that I throughly enjoyed!

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center was a flirty and heart happy romance. While the steam level is low, the emotional side really pulled at my heart strings. I devoured this book in one day! I couldn't put it down and had to see what was going to happen with Hannah and Jack. The threats towards Jack seemed realistic. Hannah's character arc was a pleasure to read. I loved how Jack got her to actually live life. This was a comforting romance read and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this story.

This tale from V.E. Swab has you contemplating how you make your mark upon the world and how human connection is so important!  Addie’s story started off pulling me in and wondering how Addie was going to deal with her new life, but then slowed down as we dig into Addie’s history.  The story started to pick-up again once Addie is remembered.  I was curious how the tale would end. I couldn’t see how the story was going to unfold.  V.E. Swab did a wonderful job unfurling pieces of information about Addie, Luc, and Henry.

There was talk of all the interesting times and places that Addie had been, but very few were ever revealed in the glimpses into the past.  The connection between Luc and Addie was so intriguing and I kept looking forward to their scenes together.  There were a few little instances, where I was a bit confused about how something happened with Addie and how it worked with her curse, but nothing that was too glaring.  Overall, I enjoyed this tale and would give The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue four out five stars!

This a fun frenemies to lovers romance. I really liked how Earl stuck up for Lydia, even if she didn't appreciate it. All the characters were very different, which I really appreciated. Lydia's cousin was so terrible, my heart hurt for Lydia. I was so glad she had Earl in her corner. The intimate scenes in this book were steamy! For a novella, I Hate Earl Grey, packed quite the punch!

The Babe From Toyland was a steamy and festive holiday read. I loved how Logan’s character changed over the course of the story and became much more fun-loving and family oriented. The teacher related issues that Paige brings up jived with my real-life teaching experiences. I absolutely loved Paige and Logan’s friends comments. Their holiday innuendos had me cracking up. I’m not typically a nanny trope romance reader, but this one was fun and very steamy! Paige and Logan’s intimate scenes were hot! Definitely a Christmas romance to spice up your holiday season.

The Twisted Roads Home by K.B. Barrett was a heart wrenching, swoony romance. I loved how Emma brightened up up Branson's life. I enjoyed how Emma took control of situations to help make them better for Branson, but still made him feel important. I found Ben's character to be believable and included very well. The side characters were fun and helped really create that small town feel. I do wish we could have seen a slightly bigger cameo from Mark and Winter from the I Found You Series. I also felt that the romantic suspense plot wasn't fully woven together, but perhaps some of my lingers questions will be answered in the following Mountain Roads novels. Overall, I enjoyed this story and can't wait to see what happens next in Savage Valley.

*I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
