Jace has been pining for Taryn who disappeared without so much of an explanation five years ago. Taryn is in trouble and isn't having much luck in getting any help. She resorts to seeking Jace out to explain the circumstances of her disappearance. She has been having a rough time fighting to protect her family. She wasn't always successful. Now that Jace is aware of the situation, he is willing to pull out all the stops to get her out of this dire predicament.
Jace's friends are sopportive and will do anything to help. The romance and friendships are captivating. I love the storyline and the interactions amongst all the characters. The twist at the end is gobsmacking. It sort of reinforces the saying that "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family". It's a fantastic addition to the series series and I absolutely love it.

Again it centres around the family dynamics showcasing their love and loyalty for each other. Not to forget the meddling and easy humourous banters!
Brayden is the lead singer of an international successful music band. Besides his band mates, he has resigned himself to a reclusive life, mainly to protect his family. The fans and paparazzi can be ruthless, and best to avoid whenever possible. Then he meets Isabelle, and everything changes. He finds that he is so attracted to her that he is willing to risk his security blanket for her. Can he be so selfish to involve her in his world? After all he has never felt this way about anyone else.
The chemistry between them is instant. Brayden's relationship with his band mates is solid. He is well respected. Isabelle is caring and loyal to her siblings and close friends. They come from different worlds, but determined to adjust to their new environment even when doubts creep in on occasions. It's another series, highlighting family values. The storyline is engaging and it's a fun read.

Max is having to let go of his dream due to the sad episode which has changed his life and forcing him to change directions.
Tessa always thought that her path was set until it no longer isn't. This prompts her to start a business that she loves being involved in.
It's a well written concept with a slow burn romance. There isn't much angst until towards the end when a misunderstanding threatens what Max and Tessa have worked so hard for. It also threatens their beautiful relationship. It's a heartwarming story where the family unit shines despite any differences. The details of running a vineyard and winery are enlightening. Max and Tessa complement each other well. A very pleasant read indeed.

The concept of this story is fascinating in the way that it reflects the Dissociative Identity Disorder. A delicate subject.
Roman is the ultimate bad boy, but his compassion is commendable. Even though he doesn't quite know what's going on or how it materialises, he does his best to understand and help.
Karine has been through a lot, though the full extent of what she went through hasn't been revealed as yet. She evolves for the better, but still has a way to go.
The plot thickens as the story develops and the looming threats are unsettling. There might be a traitor in the mist, but who? The suspense begs the reader to continue with the story to uncover what really happened in the past and how it all ends. The impossible romance blooms and the threat to Roman and Karine is forever present. All the mysteries are yet to be unveiled and hopefully these will be addressed in the final installment. It's a brave and baffling storyline.

Val, the oldest of Well, I am becoming rather addicted to the Connor family. This fourth installment of the standalones is compelling and captivating.
Val, the oldest of the Connor siblings has been unlucky in love. This has made her weary of giving her heart easily.
Carter is a successful lawyer who dedicates all his apare time to his two orphan nieces. He works hard, plays hard and loves with all of his heart.
On their first chance encounter. Carter and Val oggle each other discreetly and an incident forces them towards each other. They seem to enjoy one another's company and having coffee together becomes the norm for them. They are both hesitant as they have had their fair share of disappointments in their love life, even when the chemistry between them is undeniable. When Val meets Carter's nieces, she is pleasantly surprised on how he treats them and he is impressed at Val's behaviour towards them. They all get on well together until doubts set in. Will they trust each other enough and embark on what could be a beautiful relationship?
I was completely invested in this love story. Carter is a real darling and Val gives it her all. There is a bit of a scare towards the end of the story, but it's a beautiful romance which is nicely portrayed. I adore all the characters and I look forward to reading more of the Connor Family.

The three red rogues have honoured the pact that they made years ago. They look out for the each other. This is the story of Francesca, and it's just The three red rogues have honoured the pact that they made years ago. They look out for the each other. This is the story of Francesca, and it's just as enticing as Cecelia's and Alexander's journeys.
Francesca has hidden her secrets from society very well, but Chandler who has been watching her has his doubts. She has taken on this persona who contradicts everything that she was. She has also created quite a reputation. Her ultimate goal is vengeance for those she loved and lost. She knows that she is threading on dangerous grounds, but doesn't realise how much until she finds herself in some obscene situations.
Chandler is after the same thing as she is. Vengeance! Once they find out that they are after the same enemy, they try to work together, but he becomes very protective. He is just as stubborn as she is, and this makes some interesting interactions. The deeper the story goes, the more is revealed about their pasts, but the real kicker is when his true identity is revealed.
The romance between them is believable, but at the end I wasn't convinced about the true love of Chandler. It's an interesting concept where there is mystery, intrigue, danger, suspense and romance. It's been a great series and I have really enjoyed the journeys of the three red rogues.

It's as though the sThe premise of the story is good, but it feels underdeveloped. The multiple explicit sex scenes overshadow the core of the story. It's as though the sex determines the extent of their romance, which doesn't have a romantic feel. The danger, mystery and suspense are plausible. I am not a prude, but somehow I feel that the story is more about the sex than the actual plot. It has so much potential, but there is no balance.
Jacob is a good main character. Sallie is fairly lovable, but quite contrary. She claims that her ex husband is not attracted to her and then she goes on to say that nothing happened between them because she wasn't in love with him. She has this tendency of looking on the negative side when it comes to her personal life.
Like I have already mentioned, the story has good potential, but it's repetitive and there are some loose ends. It ends a little too abruptly. If you are looking for a steamy story with little backbone, then this book is for you.

This is quite the start to The Darkest Lies. The plot development is something else. One that I never would have anticipated. Mind boggling!
Roman has been a naughty boy and as punishment, he is sent away. All he has to do is keep his head down and do what he is supposed to do and everything will return to normal. Right? Only he doesn't know how to adhere to rules. When he meets Karine, all good intentions go out the window. Only this time, he has bitten off more than he can chew or has he?
This starts off with what looks to be what one would expect from the Bratva, but as the story develops it becomes more and more intriguing. What transpires at the end is what I least expected. Gobsmacked would be one way of describing it. It pulled me in right from the start and I can't wait to see how it further develops. Great start to this trilogy.

KaA Pocket in Time is a good representation of Regency London. It centres around a group of children who are pickpockets with Jack as their protector.
Katz is sent to London to stop a disruptor from changing history. To be able to accomplish her mission, she has to get close to Jack. Their first encounter is well thought through by Katz. Very cunning. When Jack realises that he has been conned, he sets out to confront her, only to find out that the children have befriended her. As the story develops, they become a family and Katz is now in a dilemma. She never gets close to anyone, but she finds herself caring deeply for the children and more and more attracted to Jack. Since she can’t stay away from her present time for too long, she won't have any choice but to return or else the knock on effects could be disastrous. She has a difficult decision to make.
It's very well portrayed. The solidarity amongst the children is impressive. The romance looks impossible, but where there is a will, there is a way. I like the time travelling theme and it's a fascinating storyline. Great addition to the series.

In the first book of the serThe title of this series is very appropriate. The diversity, the love, and unity of the orphaned siblings are commendable.
In the first book of the series, Chloe is the lead Winchester. She is responsible for retrieving their most treasured family heirloom stolen by an unscrupulous Duke.
Lawrence is the son of said Duke who is now deceased. His ulterior aim is to honour the duty of safeguarding his estate. By doing so, he will be able to give his prospective heirs a better life than the one he had. The problem is, he is penniless. His title entitles him to marry a rich heiress for her dowry. Anyone of the stuck up members of the ton would welcome such an opportunity. He doesn't have far to go to the start his hunt. It's at the tip of his fingers. Is it as easy as that?
Chloe is loved by her siblings, but she has her own dreams, and insecurities. Lawrence finds it hard to remove his blinkers. So much so that it's ennerving. It takes a lot for him to realise what he might lose. Their interactions are comical, especially when he doesn't have a comeback. Although their love is mutual, neither of them is willing to compromise. Until the hearts win out! Then everything falls into place. It's a light read. Long winded in places, but pleasant.

Isabeau has moved to Chicago PD to avenge the murder of her parents. She has it all figured out from the evidence left behind, but now she realises that she has to start all over as things are not as they seem.
Initially, Nik and Isabeau are enemies. Nik doesn't want her to sniff around his business. Isabeau wants nothing better than proof of her parents' murder and bring the murderer to justice. They find that they have to work together, and slowly their feelings change. Nothing is ever straightforward, and they have hurdles to jump before misunderstandings can be cleared and trust restored.
There are a few twists and turns. Anyone could be the culprit. The suspense keeps the story going until the matter is resolved. The reasons for Nik's behaviour come to light and he is not that bad. Isabeau doesn't hesitate to admit that she is wrong and all is well that ends well. An enjoyable read. ...more

Cressmouth, the picturesque Christmas village has made quite an impression. Forever your Duke, being the last is witty and entertaining.
Alexander, the Duke of Nottingvale has been primed to put duty above all else to continue family tradition. His heirs will be raised the same. The best way to find his perfect duchess would be during the Christmas festivities where debutantes will flock for a chance to become a duchess. There is no room for love as long as the duchal requirements are fulfilled.
Cynthia has long ago given up on impressing the ton. Her reason for attending the festivities is to matchmake her niece to avoid a terrible fate dictated by her father.
Although they have crossed path on numerous occasions, Alexander and Cynthia never really became acquainted. They are from different worlds. He abides by society rules. She defies them. This time round, he notices her and finds himself fascinated by her antics. He starts acting out of character to spend time with her. A relationship with her will sully his title. When it comes to the crunch, will he listen to his heart?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the last of the Dukes of Christmas. It has a nice flow and the characters are delightful. With the exception of a few. It's a shame that it has to end, but I am sure that Ms Ridley will continue to regale us with her fascinating tales. Great series and a worthy end to the series.

The proposal involves Eli and Olive who themselves despise each other for something cruel and humiliating that happened when they were teenagers.

Ava is an airline pilot. After losing her best friend ten years ago, she left Minnesota, trying to put the past behind her.
Tom is a Medical Examiner. He is single and besides work, he dedicates his life to his niece and her grandfather.
Ava happens to be in Minnesota when a memorial is being held for her best friend. She doesn't relish the idea, but attends just the same. The reunion with the other members of her friend's family is far from being warm. See, the murder case is now cold and she is somehow held responsible. Along comes Tom, and he too has his suspicions. Worse he is attracted to her quirky personality. They realise that anyone could be the culprit at this point. Will they solve the case? Can they have a future together?

Unfortunately something happens to set their marriage into a downward spirral. Rae is keeping a secret. Something that she hasn't shared with anyone! They split up, but Rae keeps going back to fight and make up sex. It's rinse and repeat on a regular basis. Riley, on the other hand keeps hoping for her to change her mind and just maybe they could have a normal life, until she decides to make a fresh start and move on.
It's clear that they both have strong feelings, but Rae's refusal of giving an explanation for the way she acts doesn't help the relationship. She has good reasons though. Anybody would be devastated. She is in her thirties, but acts like an immature teenager. She even allows her best friends to push her out of her comfort zone. It's hard to warm up to her. Riley is stubborn and thinks he knows best, but his heart is in the right place. It's a fair read.

Calvin likes his own company. He isn't one for socialising and avoids being noticed at all costs.
Belle is a Duke's daughter. She has to behave "properly" as the high society demands. She has her own dreams, but she feels obligated to honour her family name.
Calvin and Belle meet when they are stranded in a post house, just outside Cressmouth. Her maid is taken ill and she acts quickly to retain her reputation. She feels gauche without a chaperone and as it happens the only free dinner table is occupied by Calvin. He indicates the free seat, but regrets it straightaway. He is not one for small talks. Belle feels even worse as she is not used to the lifestyle offered in the post house. This is an awkward situation, but will they try to make the best of it?
Calvin and Belle's interactions are adorable. The build up to their romance is rather sweet. Belle's desire to please her family at the cost of the own happiness is frustrating. In the end she goes for what she really wants and she does so admirably. Beautifully portrayed.

Welcome to the Bennett family. Meeting them gives the sense of being an "adopted" Bennett. Such a down to earth family with so many siblings. Awesome. This is the story of the oldest son, Sebastian.
Sebastian is a self made billionaire in the jewellery business. He is the CEO of the company with some of his siblings in supportive roles. He is not like many others in this position. He is very family orientated and he doesn't forget where he came from and how he got to where he is now.
Ava is a consultant for a reputable company and she is assigned to the Bennett for the next collection launch. When she walks in the office for the first time, she is pleasantly surprised. Sebastian and his brother Logan were in one of their banters. Both well built and incredibly good looking but it's Sebastian who makes her heart flutter. Sebastian has long given up on having relationships as most women look at the size of his wallet instead of him as a person. Ava stirs something in him and he sets out to find the reason why. He is persistent!
The more they interact, the stronger the attraction. Nothing can really come out of getting involved as Ava works under a strict no "fraternisation with clients rule". Doing so will cost her the job that she has worked so hard for. Besides, she is very independent and has her own plans on how she wants to settle down. Her past relationships have her left with little or no faith in men. Will they take a chance and throw cautions to the wind and see where a relationship might take them?
I fell in love with Sebastian and Ava as well as the rest of the Bennetts. This story is full of fun and laughter, uncertainties and insecurities. More importantly, love and loyalty. This is not the first book which I have read by this author and she manages once again to pull at my heart strings. I would fully recommend this book to other readers. Believe me the Bennett family is worth meeting. I await with bated breath for the next story, which I gather will be about Logan. Quite the lovable character!
Your Captivating Love
This second book in the Bennett Family series is just as enticing as the first one.
Logan is CFO in the family multi billion business. He is no longer looking for a relationship since his last one didn't end well. He concentrates on the business and his close knitted family instead.
Nadine is a cloth designer and is looking to open a shop to make a name for herself. She is very close to realising her dream but has to make sacrifices to get there.
Logan's sister Pippa thinks that it's about time for Logan to settle down. She is on a matchmaking mission. Logan is not at happy about his sister's "meddling". He is quite capable of finding his own woman. Thank you very much! When Logan meets Nadine for the first time, it's instant attraction. Since neither of them wants to commit, they agree to go on a date and take it slow. In the meantime Nadine's priority is getting her business off the ground but it's not that easy as she encounters various obstacles. She has always fended for herself and is not prepared to accept help from anyone. Logan is itching to help but will he drive her away if he does?
This story is fun and addictive. It's got love and laughter. Hot sex. Family loyalty is at the forefront. Getting to know the Bennett Family is a real joy! I would recommend this series to all readers.
Your Forever Love
The first two books in this series were outstanding and this one is no different. Reading about the Bennett family is addictive.
Eric is a powerful businessman and a lone parent. His daughter, Julie is the apple of his eyes and he intends be a "monk" until she is at least eighteen.
Pippa is a designer for Bennett Enterprises. She is divorced and has been out of the dating scene for quite a while due to the way her relationship ended. She is happy playing matchmaker to her siblings and little does she know that she is about to get a dose of her own medicine.
Eric is from Boston and is now in San Francisco to take care of a business expansion. He is friendly with Max, Pippa's brother and when they are introduced at Sebastian's wedding, something clicks between them. Julie's ambition is to become a designer. She hero worships Pippa who offers to give her some tips. Pippa and Eric are only too aware that this means seeing each other more often than they would like. This could prove to be dangerous since the attraction between them is not so easy to ignore and neither of them is ready to commit. Besides, Eric has to go back to Boston once his new venture is off the ground. The whole situation screams hearbreak, something both of them are trying to avoid.
The flirting between Eric and Pippa is good fun until they can no longer resist their attraction to each other. They make the most of the time that they have together but the fact that this romance has an expiry date is always at the back of their minds. Will they be able to walk away when the time comes?
This story is full of fun, laughter, love, heartaches and surprises. The way the Bennetts support each other is admirable. Julie is a lovable character who plays an important role throughout this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this compelling story and look forward to reading the next one.
I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review....more

Claire is running away and hiding from This easy to read romance centres around having no sense of belonging, and longing for a place where call home.
Claire is running away and hiding from her prospective future which has already been planned for her. She is determined to keep everyone at arms length, but when she meets Holt, all bets are off. She is torn between family duty and love. Will Holt be able to show her where home really is?
Holt is a lovable gentle giant with a wicked sense of humour. Claire isn't easy to connect with at the begenning. She is indecisive and secretive, but she is also kind.
The beautiful conclusion, and the festive feel makes it a worthwhile read.

This time, we go on The Red Rogues are still as thick as ever. They honour the pact they made after a tragic occurrence when they were young students.
This time, we go on Cecelia's journey. Her childhood was not a happy one, but now that she is shaping her own life, she is content. Despite all the struggles and mockery that she has endured, she remains cheerful.
Ramsay has been betrayed in the past and he doesn't trust women. As far as he is concerned, they use their sexuality as a weapon to get what they want.
Thinking the worse of Cecelia, he is rude and abrupt to begin with, until he knows the truth about her. Their interactions are not very warming until her life is in danger. His views about her soon change, but will he see all women in a different light?
They have a lot of ups and downs, but their love is fierce. The concept is great and full of suspense. Certain aspects of the story can be unsettling, but overall it's a rewarding read.
