Val is a demon who feels like he’s never fitted in, be it with his family or what he’s required to do in Hell. He despises torture and loves to read books so when the opportunity to leave arises he takes it.
Jacob is a delightfully quirky and geeky man who doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to dating. After joining the gym where Val works as a personal trainer circumstances have Jacob helping Val to become fully assimilated with humans within a certain timeframe.

This is a very enjoyable and engaging romantic comedy that kept me entertained from start to finish.
Val’s enthusiastic attempts at passing for a human are hilarious, especially when it comes to his pets and his favourite foods. I enjoyed how the friendship develops for these two wonderful characters leading to some very steamy times when they give in to the undeniable chemistry between them.
There’s some angst caused by others but Val and Jacob beat the odds and get their well deserved HEA. This is a heartwarming fun romance that left me smiling.

I really enjoyed this delightfully sweet small town romance between two very likeable characters.
Will (39) is a single dad who’s so sweet, especially when he blushes. Colton (30) is the new science teacher/basketball coach who relocated to Colliers Creek for a fresh start. Will volunteers to help with the basketball team and the attraction between them builds as they laugh, joke and just be themselves with each other. They jump at the chance to share their limited time together and soon enough the sweet and tender moments become more heated. Will and Colton are so sweet together and after a minor bump along the way they get a beautiful HEA.

This is a low angst super sweet romance with a great cast of characters that held my interest and kept me invested from start to finish. I adored the sometimes bumbling and blushing side of Will and the happiness that he and Colton found warmed my heart.

This is the first book in the multi author series and I look forward to more.

Lucian (24) is just the sweetest, dorkiest and most adorable man ever. He’s also quirky, subject to nervous rambling, speaking without a filter and a smidge accident prone. He’s had his fair share of toxic relationships and escapes England to Collier’s Creek to reset himself. His accident prone tendencies have him coming into the orbit of Arlo (44). After a couple of meetings a friendship slowly develops between these two wonderful characters. A friendship that keeps the loneliness and feelings of disconnection at bay for both of them as Arlo has newly returned to his hometown after a relationship breakdown, a friendship that inevitably morphs into more.

I adored Lucian and just wanted to give him big squishy hugs as he struggled not only with relocating but also his battered self confidence. Arlo was able to slowly and gently restore some of Lucian’s self belief even as he struggled with his own heartbreak and the repercussions of it. When well meaning friends cause Arlo to question his relationship with Lucian there’s plenty of angst and plenty of feels before their well deserved HEA.

This is a beautiful small town age gap romance with a great cast of characters, a good balance of sweet and steam and an HEA that warmed my heart.

I was eagerly anticipating Laurie and Theo’s story and I wasn’t disappointed with this entertaining and engaging friends to lovers romance. Little nuggets about them have been dropped throughout the entire series and it was an absolute delight to finally see these two wonderful characters get their own HEA. They just needed to stop being oblivious to what was right in front of them to see what everyone else has always thought was there.

Theo is the most delightful sassy and shiny femme brat who has mastered the art of pouting whilst Laurie is a “mild mannered gothic gentleman” who knows how to handle a bratty Theo. They work and share a flat together and once they embrace the changing dynamic of their relationship things get very steamy. There’s some minor angst from outside the relationship which is soon resolved, plenty of friends adding their thoughts into the mix, the taxidermy menagerie increases and a heartwarming HEA that left me smiling.

Charlie Novak has the ability to tell a story that fully immerses you into the world of Heather Bay and it’s fun and quirky inhabitants. It feels like they are giving you a much needed hug.

There’s a lot of feels in this final book as Worthy returns to Safe Harbor after 20 years away. His is not a triumphant return, it’s a return filled with trauma. It would be a spoiler to go into the reasons for his trauma but suffice to say they lead to mental illness and therefore the journey of recovery Worthy is now on. Sam is a part of Worthy’s childhood and he is the person that takes Worthy into his home. With Sam as his champion Worthy slowly but surely comes to accept who his is now and forgive himself for his perceived sins. From friends to roommates to lovers their path has a few bumps along the way before they achieve the most heartwarming of HEA’s. This book certainly gave me some feels ranging from heart sore to smiling so wide for these two wonderful characters. There’s some angst, steamy scenes (involving praise and bossiness) mixed with some sweet and tender moments and the joys of a life long dream fulfilled. I loved this final book in the Safe Harbor series but it is best to read the series in order due to the ongoing mystery.

What a ride!

This book covers so much ground. It’s gritty with plenty of action and a beautiful age gap romance between two wonderful men in Javier and Levy. Men who know the importance of communication so there’s no dramatic turns in their relationship. There is plenty of sizzling chemistry between them and so many steamy times balanced with some sweet and tender moments to show the depth of the connection they have. Levy finally gets his yearned for HEA with a man who understands him and his work and just loves and accepts him for the person he is.

The found family members and others involved in stopping the trafficking operations are once again working together to rescue and reunite where possible the trafficked children. My heart was breaking at times and then laughing out loud (thanks to some cameo’s) at others. Ant Is featured heavily and it’s a joy to see the growth within him as he embraces the broken parts of himself and accepts how he is both mentally and emotionally. His and Erik’s story is up next and boy is that going to be interesting!

I loved every moment of this entertaining engaging book and it certainly had me oohing and ahhing as all of the elements of the perfectly paced plot came together. With this series Kelly Fox certainly knows how to keep her readers invested in the outcome as the ride gets wilder and wilder.
