One of Kendall Ryan's better ones lately.
Cute, sweet, teacher/student romance (nothing taboo, they are both in their 20s!)
I liked that there was no OTT drama, just a lovely story of finding love when you least expect it.
The story flowed, there are great secondary characters, and one little scene stealer that will also steal your heart.
Great narration by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York

I have been waiting forevvverrrr for Hollywood Heartbreak - ok, that may be exaggerating a little, but it feels like forever.
And it was worth every second of the wait to get Jay Davis in my hot little hands.
I really enjoyed Abby's story. From a calamitous start to her LA story, I couldn't help but laugh and cry along with her.
I love that she has kept her Australian-ness about her. We read so many stories where the Aussies go overseas and lose almost everything that made them who they are once they get there. Not our Abby, not her roommate Billie (who I have to say is freaking awesome)
Jay is just all kinds of swoonworthy. From the first meeting till the end, I couldn't help but smile every time he was on the page.
When I was reading about where Abby was living, I did kind of get a Melrose Place vibe about it - I liked it!
Great characters, wonderful story-telling that had me hooked from the start. This could well be my favourite in the Heart of The City series.
Can't wait to see what Ms Duggan brings us next.

I adore ARR Until series, and I have read everything by CP Smith, so when their two worlds combine, I knew I was going to like it.
Until Susan is Ms Smith's story of James and Susan, the Mayson boys parents.
Well, we now know where those boys get the "boom" from. It was lovely to get the story of how they met. Ms Smith writes a story that fits organically with Ms Reynold's world. The "Boom" fits well with Ms Smith's style of story writing, so it did not feel like anything was forced.
This is my first foray into the "kindle world" way of writing, and now I will need to check out more.

Long Shot is my first Kennedy Ryan book, and I am kicking myself right now for it! How have I never read any of her works before? Why has nobody thrust a book under my nose and made me read it?
Long Shot is gripping, and I couldn't put it down once I started. It is heartbreaking, it is compelling, it is full of hope. I never knew what was going to happen as I turned each page.
I had such visceral reactions to events in this book. My body visibly shook as I felt all the anger and pain. I wanted to reach into my kindle and get myself into the story, sort some people out!
I adore Iris and August. My heart hurt. My heart soared. I just needed then to find their way.
Iris is one heck of a woman. She is the epitome of someone finding their inner strength when she is in her darkest days. I don't want to give anything away about the story, but boy oh boy it is rough and tough at times.
I was swept up in this story, and didn't want it to end.
Now I need to go buy some more Kennedy Ryan books, as this one has me hooked.

My two favourite worlds collide with Sky High - music world and book world!
Yes!
I have read everything by Ms Traynor to date, and each and every time she gives us another enjoyable story.
Now, I am an old fart and still love 80's music, so the lyrics of Sky High by Jigsaw run through my head every time I think of this book. And they kind of fit at times.
I adore Lily and Baxter's story. From high school to present, we are taken on an often brutal story, but filled with so much hope, and love, and friendship. With a dose of suspense thrown in for good measure.
I loved getting a snippet of Reece and Madelyn (from Rock Bottom). It has been a couple of years and I still love me some Reece!
There are great secondary characters, however also some really crappy ones too - not the writing, just what they do!
Beautiful writing, the story flowed and it left me wanting more.
Please don't make me wait too long for your next story Ms Traynor.

I received a code to download this audiobook - thank you.
Without Restraint is a short, hot, sexy story that will draw you right in
Nicole Edwards as a master of menage storytelling. Lindy, Michah and Hayden's story could have come off as cheesy, but it never does.
Tor Thom and Charly Angel as new to me narrators and they did a fantasic job of bringing the characters to life.

Murder Notes was a bit different from the previous LRJ books.
It did take me a little bit to get into this story, but once I was in it I couldn't put the book down
Lilah Love's story is full of suspense, mystery and a little bit oh heartache as well.
I was a little confuzzled at first, as we are introduced to so many people and departments, but it didn't take me long to get the gist of who's who in this zoo.
It is not just a murder mystery story, it is also to the story of Lilah, and all things interweave creating a web that will have you guessing right to the end... well, maybe not to the end of this part, as we do end on a bit of a cliffy.
I am hoping Lilah can find her way to a HEA trough all the murder and mayhem that surrounds her life **cough cough Kane cough cough**. She does come across a little abrupt and bristly at times, but then we see the softer side of her as well. She is a bit of an enigma really, and I am looking forward to where her story goes next.

A new Max Monroe series,and a surprise one at that - woohoo!
I didn't know what to expect when Stone turned up on my kindle, but I dived right in and I didn't emerge until I had finished reading. I was all in right from the start.
Levi and Ivy's story really shows that there is a fine line between love and hate. They are full of snark and bite, but underneath it all there is the pull of attraction.
Stone is not full of all the fun and laughter of their previous series, it is darker and sadder, but it is just as amazing.
Levi and Ivy had me wanting, hoping they can fight their way to a HEA. And just when you think it might be going to happen.
BAM! We are cliffhangered - but that's OK, it is only a few weeks until the second book comes out. Delayed gratification and all that jazz!
Can't wait for Cold - bring on April 22nd!

The Paris Seamstress is two lady's stories, told decades apart, yet their stories are interwoven.
This is only my second Natasha Lester read, however what I have learned so far is that she is kick-a$$ at writing strong, independent women who take no crap from anybody.
Both Estella and Fabienne are beautiful, ambitious, strong women. Both are fighting for the career they want, both falling in love, both fighting against the wars of their era.
I was completely swept away with Estella's war time story line.
In fact, I feel that this book would make a fine movie.
There are so many characters who are all involved with each other one way or another, with darker undertones to some of the characters. Secrets, lies, evil villains.The Paris Seamstress has a bit of it all, however none of it felt over the top.
I am not a fashiony kind of girl, but I loved learning more of the war time fashions, especially in the USA.
I an enamoured with Ms Lester's writing, and I can't wait to see what she brings us next.
