Review ~ Until You Can't by Brittney Sahin

Until You Can't by Brittney Sahin My rating: 3 of 5 stars Until You Can't was a good slow burn type of read but didn’t blow me away. Ryan and Natalia had known each other for a long time and it seemed that they didn’t like each other very much. However I could see that they had a connection. They both were living back at home as they tried to get their...

Review ~ Tease by Melanie Harlow

Tease by Melanie Harlow My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was another delightful read in the Cloverleigh Farms series. I enjoyed watching Felicity and Hutton, who were two awkward, long time friends! It was amusing to see how they acted on their feelings even though they didn’t really understand how deep those feelings ran or for how long they would last....

Review ~ Reckless by Adriana Locke

Reckless by Adriana Locke My rating: 4 of 5 stars Reckless was such a fun read! The connection between Jaxi and Boone built throughout the story and it was obvious that they were falling for one another. Neither acted on their attraction until late in the story, but the easy flirtiness between them was entertaining. A spanner was thrown into Jaxi’s...

Review ~ Meet Me Halfway by Lilian T. James

Meet Me Halfway by Lilian T. James My rating: 4 of 5 stars I haven't read anything by Lilian T. James and I was pleasanlty surprised as to how much I enjoyed Meet Me Halfway. I liked how Madison was standing on her own two feet; she was severly over worked and studied every chance she got to build a better life for herself and her son. She got off...

Review ~ Taken By A Sinner by Michelle Heard

Taken By A Sinner by Michelle Heard My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed meeting Tess and Nikolas - they had chemistry right from the beginning. Tess began as a quiet young woman, who had been quite sheltered and she grew stronger throughout the story. Nikolas had no plans to be tied to one woman, but he was drawn to Tess, regardless of their parents...

Review ~ Beautifully Cruel series by J.T. Geissinger

Beautifully Cruel by J.T. Geissinger My rating: 4 of 5 stars I found Beautifully Cruel to be quite a good, solid read however it didn’t blow me away. Tru and Liam had a long connection, before either of acted on their connection. Liam silently watched Tru over many months, but didn’t want to cross that line due to the situation he was in. Tru was a...

Review ~ One Percent of You by Michelle Gross

One Percent of You by Michelle Gross My rating: 5 of 5 stars This certainly was a slow burn read as Hadley and Elijah got to know one another. Hadley being a single mum was quite wary of Elijah, especially as how their first meeting didn’t go so well. However I could see the connection grow after each interaction, even though they didn’t understand...

Review ~ Blind Side by Kandi Steiner

Blind Side by Kandi Steiner My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first book in the Red Zone Rivals series that I’ve read and I found it to be quite the enjoyable read. Clay was a confident and thoughtful guy, who put those he loved first. He came from a broken home where his mother struggled a lot and he felt the need to help her constantly. Giana was...

Review ~ Between Hello and Goodbye by Emma Scott

Between Hello and Goodbye by Emma Scott My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4.5 Stars Between Hello and Goodbye was the kind of read that drew me in, and I wanted to know more about the characters. I liked the character growth of both Asher and Faith. Faith thought she was doing ok, but decided a reset was needed, even though it ended up to be quite challenging....

Review ~ June First by Jennifer Hartmann

June First by Jennifer Hartmann My rating: 5 of 5 stars Through the first part of June First, the opening chapters broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Seeing such a tragedy at such a young age was such an overwhelming experience. I enjoyed watching Brant, Theo and June grow throughout the years, but my heart shattered once again further into...
