Tate and Emmie work together in a hardware company called Nuts & Bolts, a predominantly male dominated company. Emmie feelsSuch a fantastic read!
Tate and Emmie work together in a hardware company called Nuts & Bolts, a predominantly male dominated company. Emmie feels the constant need to prove herself. Something that so many women can relate to. Tate doesn’t help the situation. At first he comes off abrasive, cocky and as rude (as many of the other men in the office have been to her). Tate is pretty much public enemy #1 in the to Emmie, so of course fate would have it that they’re forced to work on a project together.
Emmie is my type of heroine. Feisty, funny, strong. Great sense of humor & sarcasm. Good work ethic, totally the type of gal I can relate to. Especially because she feels so much of the time that she’s faking her way through life, that people don’t really know her. That she's got to put on this tough facade, but the thing is, it's not a facade, it's who she is. Emmie is strong. She is smart. She's brilliant. She’s not afraid to tell these men exactly how she feels.
Tate comes off at first a bit alpha. I like the strong, silent ones. You never really know what’s going through their head, and it makes them that much more desirable. He’s brooding, anti-social, quiet and at times a bit abrasive, but he’s got his reasons, (and I won’t spoil the book by telling you what they are, because honestly I didn’t see it coming. Sarah kept me guessing until the end as to WHY he was so cold to Emmie at first and why he fought his attraction so long).
Both of these two have issues opening up to people. Trust is a biggie for them. I loved watching their relationship blossom as they both learned to trust each other more.
Enemies to lovers is my all time favorite type of romance to read and I loved how their relationship unfolded. No unnecessary drama, just two people finally becoming honest and open.
And oh my lordy, the bedroom scenes were off the charts hot. I knew they’d be great (I’ve read Sarah’s stuff from her blog and this is where she shines bright).
The cover is absolutely freaking perfect for this book. It fits Emmie to a tee. Such an amazing debut novel by a talented author. I can’t wait to read what she comes up with next. ...more

I squealed in excitement when I sawAnnabelle is a one-click author for me. For years I’ve adored her books and I look forward to her holiday novels!
I squealed in excitement when I saw this was a modern day Scrooge retelling. A Christmas Carol is my absolute favorite holiday story and I was eagerly anticipating this read.
Such a great story! I absolutely loved it!
I loved the twist having a female Scrooge. She made me as the female reader empathize with Ebbie and understand why she’d gotten to the point in her life where she was so miserable. It’s not an easy task to make your readers fall for a prickly character, but this author did it splendidly.
I loved the modern day way that each spirit visited her. So clever!
And Tim, oh Tim. Swoon. He’s not tiny. He’s handsome, sweet and sexy and has the biggest heart.
If you’re looking for a warm, entertaining holiday read that will warm your heart, I suggest that you pick this up....more

Josh and Sadie meet one night at a party (seriously adorable meet-cute). The sparks fly but the big problem is Josh has signed his life over for his country. He had plans.

Can a long distance relationship work between these two?

Ever since we first met Nova, I’ve been anticipating her story in the Healing series.
The book starts out with the death of Nova’s estranged father.Ever since we first met Nova, I’ve been anticipating her story in the Healing series.
The book starts out with the death of Nova’s estranged father. As his only surviving relative, she is forced to head to Virginia to deal with his estate—but ends up finding there is much more to her fathers sordid past than she bargained for.
Liam and Nova are both haunted by personal issues that happened in their past. Both have felt tragic loss in their lives. Liam has brutally lost someone he loved. This causes Liam to want to protect Nova from the same fate. The problem? Nova’s life of rejection has hardened her. She’s a badass chick, who feels as if she doesn’t need to be protected—since she’s always had to look out for number one. It’s a great combination of conflict, causing them struggle as their feelings for each other deepen.
This is a bit of a slow-burn compared to Audrey’s other books, but I loved the anticipation and the excitement of the will-they-won’t they. You can feel the heat sizzling between Liam and Nova, and trust me, the payoff is worth the wait. Add in the suspense of Russian mobsters and you’ve got one helluva page turner here. So, read this, but better yet, start out with Zac’s story in Healing scars and get to know all these wonderful characters. You won’t be disappointed. ...more

I knew this wasI went into this book blind, but was forewarned about the triggers that would be in it. I knew that it would be dark and disturbing. I knew this was NOT a romance. I knew that there was no happy ending. I was prepared for the darkness I was about to dive into.
What I wasn’t prepared for is how much I’d love Curtis. How my heart would ache for him. How enraged I would be at the life that he had to endure. He deserved more from life.
“You look at me and see a monster, but what I am is a Survivor.”
This captures him perfectly. I don’t condone what Curtis did. Even he knows what he did was unforgivable. BUT you see over and over again how society and the system failed this child. Years and years of torment and abuse chipped away at his humanity bit by bit. Once his last thread of sanity was frayed, he broke.
I can’t even fathom the gut wrenching, emotional journey that Radcliff went through when writing this, but she executed it flawlessly. Hat’s off to her because it’s a story that needed told, and she had the guts to write it.
It’s a story of loss, heartache, pain, tragedy and then finally, redemption. It will leave you broken and torn apart with your mind spinning.
This is not an easy summer, at-the-beach-toes-in-the-sand kind of book, but it’s a story worth reading. ...more

The book starts out with Natalie and her boyfriend, Chase, heading out to a remote, luxury cabin in the woods for a romantic weekend together. Disaster strikes when a blizzard hits and they become trapped in their vehicle with no way out.
Enter Jake—a shadowy figure emerges out of the snowy haze and rescues them, giving them food and shelter in his cabin.
Is Jake the bad guy or good guy? That is the question that looms in Natalie’s mind as the days pass in the cabin with this gruff, mysterious stranger. It’s obvious that Jake is not who he claims to be.
The twists and turns in this book will keep you guessing until the very end.
I absolutely love anything that Annabelle writes but I seriously swooned over Jake in this story! He’s just the kind of dark, brooding, mysterious character that I love.
Amazing story, engaging characters, wonderful dialogue and lots of intrigue. I loved it. ...more

Greta and Jacob meet one rainy day when he comes to work at her wealthy parents home. An unlikely pair, a blue collar man and this woman raised in privilege, but their chemistry is undeniable. They both succumb to their lust on a stormy afternoon.
They meet again one day when that steamy afternoon comes back to haunt them when Jacob becomes one of Greta’s father’s clients. They try to keep things professional, but their feelings for each other are too hard to deny.
Add in a snobby mother and stepfather, and a horrible douchebag ex-finance that are trying to ensure their relationship fails at all costs, and the fact her father is not only Greta’s boss, but Jacob is his client and you have a recipe for some great emotional tension.
Both have some intense fears. Jacob can’t help but feel that he can never fit into Greta’s wealthy world. And Greta needs to learn to grow up, and separate herself from her overbearing family. I loved watching her grow and evolve into a strong, independent woman.
This is a dynamite debut story full of heart, laughter, love, steam and DK Marie’s eloquent, amazing prose. Such a talented writer and we are bound to see great things from her. Amazing job, I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. ...more
Annabelle is a one click author for me. I know that every time I read one of her books it’s gonna suck me in. I love her quick wit, unique storylinesAnnabelle is a one click author for me. I know that every time I read one of her books it’s gonna suck me in. I love her quick wit, unique storylines and her engaging characters.
This is Annabelle’s first story with a blind character (who also was a veteran) and I couldn’t wait to read it.
We meet Sophie, a sweet librarian who loves to read to children and enjoys her job. Sophie is also badly disfigured from an accident as a child.
Colin former veteran and a hottie, blinded in the line of duty. He goes to the library in search of some braille books for practice after his parents urge him to get out of the house.
They meet, sparks fly and it has all of the great chemistry between a couple that you’d expect from one of Annabelle’s novels.
Yes, at first I feared the setup would be a bit cliche, and you KNOW the inevitable fall-out is coming about Sophie not revealing her disfigurement to Colin. But Annabelle never disappoints. As usual, the author tackles a difficult subject with dignity and humor and keeps the pages turning with her compelling storyline not only with the main conflict of the couple, but the individual conflicts the characters are going through.
Because of her disfigurement, Sophie has been shunned her entire life and had to endure judgment. But in spite of all this she’s happy, and loves the person she is on the inside. Still, her looks cause issue when having to work in a position with facing the public on a daily basis. She deals with rude bosses, mean girls and work drama.
At the same time Colin is fighting for his independence from overbearing parents, trying to come to grips with his blindness.
I love how all this internal conflict adds to the richness and depth of her character development. We really get to know these characters and the struggles that each of them face on a daily basis, and understand WHY they make the choices they do. THAT is what is so great about all Annabelle’s books. Her characters aren’t perfect. They make mistakes. They’re REAL people. That is how you know her books will NEVER be boring.
Such a beautiful, heartwarming story, with the wit and humor you’d expect sprinkled in from one of Annabelle’s books. ...more

Morning Ever. All of us have had one of those days, where everything that can go wrong does. Lili is late for work, gets an email that her parents are stranded overseas and need money, and she quickly sends them the funds…
Well, she was understandably upset once she found out the entire thing was a scam and her entire nest egg is GONE. Add to it that Lili loses her steady job. Things are looking quite grim for our heroine. Thankfully her bestie Charlie steps up and gets her a killer job at her father’s publishing company.
The problem? Troy Miller is INSANELY hot. SILVER FOX. Lily can’t keep him out of her mind and out of her dreams at night.
The bigger problem? Mr. Miller starts to feel the same way about Lili.
I love angsty drama, and the fact that this not only is an age gap boss/employee story but add into it that Troy is not only Lily’s boss, but her best friends’ father…that brings all kinds of juicy drama to the table when the you-know-what hits the fan…
I won’t spoil the entire plot for you. Age gap stories aren’t typically my jam, but I love Audrey’s words and read everything she writes. She has the knack for writing some SMOKING HOT love scenes, and this book delivers PLENTY of those. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, so Audrey you’ve won me over with the trope!...more

I’ve been in the same situation as Theo, and I have to say that this author NAILED it spot on. There were moments that brought me to tears because I FELT SO MUCH of what Theo was feeling. I’ve been that woman, fleeing for her life from an abusive ex with her babies, and there were times I had to put it down, take a breath, and come back. But Dixie handles this with such tact. AND there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Frankie. OH MY LORD this little “pup” has stolen my heart. (Because “toys and ice cream and sh*#). I literally LOL’d at the things that would come out of this spitfire’s mouth.
And Deacon is just all KINDS of masculine. Tortured. Wounded. FEELS so much. My kind of swoon worthy hero, in need of redemption.
Woman is mate. Child is pup. I SWOONED.
I didn’t think that a couple could compare to Ty and Nya, but this little family has stole my heart.
I absolutely LOVE the world that Dixie has created. I wish I had some madjick so I could take residence in Maryvell because all these characters are folk that I’d want to be friends with. She’s created such an amazing TRIBE. Full of love, friendship and OMG the humor. There were moments that Dixie had me rolling in laughter…
“A two hundred plus-year old vampire driving a minivan.” I was ROLLING.
“I’d forgotten how eerie Bodie was. If Striker was a freak show, Bodie was the mothership.”
NEED Striker’s story. STAT. You hear me Dixie???

I love how we get a glimpse into how Zac and Tyler are doing as well. I fell in love with those two in Healing Scars and it’s nice to see that they’re doing so well, and that Jane and Tyler are becoming friends.
I could really relate to Jane and the pain she feels even on the happiest day of her life. When you’re living and one close to you isn’t there to share in that joy—it’s rough. Like always though Trey is there to offer tenderness when needed. I absolutely adore these two and the love they share.
We also get a glimpse into what the future books hold in this series with Nova—just enough to keep us guessing. Excited to see where the series will take us as readers.
Sweet, wonderful, fantastic, heartwarming Valentines read. I look forward to the next book in the series. Great job Audrey....more
I freaking loved this book. The first in the series, Perfect Ex-Boyfriend is one of my favorite reads. Noah is just so masculine, sexy, yet the rightI freaking loved this book. The first in the series, Perfect Ex-Boyfriend is one of my favorite reads. Noah is just so masculine, sexy, yet the right amount of soft and kind and caring when needed. He's the full package (well, minus two legs, but still, that doesn't diminish his sex appeal at ALL). He's definitely in the book-boyfriend hall of fame.
I was so excited for this sequel and Annabelle did not disappoint. We get to watch as our favorite couple Bailey and Noah grow closer as a couple and prepare to walk down the aisle and become a family. (Also, side note: Most EPIC proposal ever.)
Noah adores Lily, and wants to be her father, problem is, she's got a father, but not a great one. As much as he despises Theo, Noah constantly tries to take the high road and do what is in the best interest of his soon to be stepdaughter. The moments between Noah and Lily are sweet and tender as we watch him dive into fatherhood. Swoon worthy. (Again Book Boyfriend hall of fame worthy.)
The author handles the trials and tribulations of trying to navigate the murky waters of a blended family, something a majority of people these days can relate to. I've been that single mom, burnt out, exhausted of doing it all alone then suddenly trying to figure out how the ex-husband and new father both work together, and what is best for the child. It's not easy. That's what made this book so real.
Theo's presence in their lives put a serious strain on Noah and Bailey's relationship. There were times my heart broke as both Noah and Bailey messed it all up, even though they were both just trying to do what is best. Thankfully though, love prevails.
Great story. Great plot. Amazing characters. Once again Annabelle knocks it out of the park....more

She was such a captivating character in the first two IAfter reading the first two books I was so excited to hear that Rowena’s story was coming! She was such a captivating character in the first two I couldn’t wait to get my paws on this book.
I loved getting her backstory. Warning it’s dark, tragic and it will break your heart. BUT what it does more than that is show her resilience. Her will to survive and rise above the shaft that she is handed in life. She’s so strong, and so beautiful. I love Ro as a person.
Griffin, GAH. I love him. My heart has grown more for him in each book. Jury was out on him in first story, but now he’s won my heart.
I loved how Radcliff weaves in the timeline from the previous two books, you get to see what Griff and Ro were going through during Ryder and Lydia’s stories. You do NOT have to read those to enjoy this, but I recommend that you do just to get the full picture. It will mean SO much more if you have (and they’re fantastic books…so you should anyway). What I liked is that it explained WHY certain characters were forced into the situations that they were by Jared. It answered all those questions I had lingering.
Fantastic read. Fantastic characters. Well done. I can't wait to see what this author does next!...more

After reading Healing Scars and getting a glimpse at the sexy, tatted-up, brooding ex-soldier, Trey, I was eagerly awaiting his story.
(Side note: You don’t have to read Healing Scars to enjoy this story, but I recommend you do, because it’s just as phenomenal as Goodbye, Trey.)
Now. Let’s talk about Trey. Holy hell that man is one fine piece of man. Sexy, flawed, layered and just how I like my alphas—a tortured soul. Abandoned by his wife while he was off serving his country, he’s sworn off love and commitment. Problem is that nobody except his closest brothers in arms know what he went through, not even his sister, who just so happens to be getting married and guess who’s the maid of honor. Yup. The ex.
What comes next is a rollercoaster ride of emotion as he strikes up a deal with a client—Jane—to be his “mock” girlfriend to the wedding. Of course, there is chemistry there (we wouldn’t have a story without it). So they enter a FWB arrangement. Of course though lines get blurred as emotions get involved.
Now, let’s talk about the boinkage. Because it’s HOT. Audrey has suck a knack for writing off the charts, smoking-hot sex scenes and this book delivers.
This is my third book by Audrey and she’s grown as a writer with each story. She’s an up and coming author to keep an eye on. Wonderful story, wonderful characters. I look forward to the next one in the series!...more

Now, about theThis is the sequel to When Darkness Consumes, and you MUST read that first, so if you haven’t drop whatever your’e doing and go read it.
Now, about the story.
First, Radcliff left us hanging after WDC with where Ryder and Lydia were relationship wise, and my heart needed their HEA, but like everything with these two, it’s not going to be easy. It’s FULL of the angst and will torture you. (Not like the torture in the first book, thank GOD because my soul could NOT handle watching these beloved characters go through that again). No, it’s our reader torture and angst. This book had me all over the place emotionally. It would take me from happy on one page to heartbroken on the next. At one point I had to put the kindle down and walk away because OMFG Ryder and Lydia were LITERALLY killing me. I wanted to reach through the pages of this novel and shake these two and tell them to stop running from each other. I’m not gonna tell you what happens, I’m just gonna say you need to strap yourself in for the emotional rollercoaster and hold on tight.
Second, I was left in the first book torn on Griffin and how I felt about him. Griffin plays a bigger role in this story, and I definitely warmed up to him. He’s still a bit of an enigma, but I consider him one of the good guys. I have a feeling we’ll be getting more of him in Ghost Girl’s upcoming story…so I’ll wait (not very patiently) for that one.
Lastly, I NEEDED to see Jared served the vengeance he deserved. Well, I’m not going to tell you because SPOILERS. You’ll just have to read for yourself.
This was my first read by Radcliff, and I couldn't put this book down.
I was immediately hooked and drawn into Lydia’s story. I was rooting for herThis was my first read by Radcliff, and I couldn't put this book down.
I was immediately hooked and drawn into Lydia’s story. I was rooting for her and Ryder from the beginning but also very skeptical. This book has you trusting no one, which speaks volumes on this authors ability to put you into the head of the heroine.
With every corner we’d turn, I’d wait with bated breath, because you could feel the tension looming…knowing it was all about to fall apart.
And boy does it.
I thought I was prepared. I wasn’t.
When the darkness comes I wept for Lydia. I wanted to turn my head and shield myself from the devastation, but like her, I had to endure. I longed for justice for her.
This book left me raw, empty, vulnerable and in so much pain. But, I think as the reader that’s exactly where I was supposed to be. You can’t read about what Lydia went through and not be put right into her mental state.
I’m still left with so many questions that need answered, but I know they’re coming.
I’m ready to watch Lydia rise from the ashes and get her revenge, because my GOD she deserves it....more

I fell in love with Dixie's voice in "Fly with Me" and couldn't wait to get to the next book in the series and dig back into the madjickal Maryvell.
God this book was amazing. I don't even know where to begin. I fell in love with both Nya and Tybalt right off the bat. The chemistry with these two was flawless and off the charts HOT. Enemies to lovers (my favorite trope ever).
Ty is a big, gruff alpha male wounded and jaded from his past and all the pain and suffering he's endured. It's gonna take someone extra special to peel back those crispy layers and get to his huge, soft heart. He's my favorite kind of hero. Nya fits the bill perfectly. A spitfire of a woman (literally) this little "harpy" can control and create fire, is strong, badass and takes s*&^ from no one--especially Ty.
Their first encounter in the garage had sparks flying and I laughed my butt off at the banter. I knew then and there this book was gonna be GOOD and SMOKIN hot once these two sealed the deal. Dixie delivered some of the hottest scenes I've ever read.
I love the rich supporting cast of characters and the world that Dixie has created. I want to move to Maryvell and be part of the big family there. I want to have a girls night with Nya and Quinn and have a heart to heart with Ghee. I want to go to Noarh and Jareth's house and play poker, drink and watch their little spawns run around. I can't wait for the next in the series.

Zac, former army ranger never forgot that girl he fell for in high school and his love for her carried him through his deployment. Now, fate has given him a second chance to make Tyler is girl, once and for all.
Tyler is a great heroine. She’s stronger than she gives herself credit for, feisty and a wonderful mother. I've been that single mom, coming from an abusive relationship, and falling for a new man. I related to her on such a deep, personal level. Audrey did such a fantastic job in nailing the emotions and character spot on.
“My attraction to Zac, Kent’s unruliness, and Wyatt’s all circling around me—threatening to blow my life to shreds with the slightest change of the wind.”
Zac is such a swoon-worthy hero, and going in my book-boyfriend dungeon. He showed strength and masculinity when called for, but was soft, respectful and caring at all the right moments. When he called Wyatt “peanut” my heart absolutely melted.
Oh and Wyatt, can we just talk about that little “bug” and “peanut” here for a bit. She’s such a great kid and stole the show in every page she appeared on.

This book had the perfect balance of sweet and steamy moments. Amazing chemistry between Beckett and Olive. I felt all the emotions along with these two. I laughed with them and also got angry at some of the decisions made, BUT that’s what makes characters REAL and human.
It was a well written story and I look forward to more from Ms. Ravine!...more
I don't even know where to begin. This story was perfection. I was drawn in from the gut wrenching first moment to the verySerious. Book. Hangover.

Gardin took my heart, ripped it out and stitched it back together again.
As a wife and a mother I have to tip my hat to the author for handling this romance with the utmost sensitivity. It's not an easy feat to pull off. I felt every ounce of Arden's pain down to my bones. Flash was a hero through and through. An alpha male that oozes masculinity and kindness at every turn. My favorite kind of man. Soft when he needs to be and protective when the time calls for it.
It's a story about loss, love and survival and how one can rebuild from the wreckage of their lives. Superb writing, amazing characters. This was my first read by Gardin but it won't be my last. One of the best books I've ever read. ...more
Wow. This book was definitely an emotional roller coaster and an excellent second chance romance. We get to follow Hendrix and Maddie from childhoodWow. This book was definitely an emotional roller coaster and an excellent second chance romance. We get to follow Hendrix and Maddie from childhood all the way to when they’re adults.
I cared for the characters. Hendrix has a heartbreaking past with an abusive, alcoholic father and a mother who’s abandoned him. I’m a sucker for characters with a tragic backstory overcoming the cards that they’re dealt in life. Maddie was a sweetie through and through and always there for Hendrix in his toughest times. My favorite part of the story was the first, seeing their love grow and blossom during adolescence.
The second half had me ready for their happily ever after and did a great job of building the tension, paving the way for redemption of all the characters. (view spoiler)[I do wish we could have seen the break up happen because I feel it was such a pivotal moment for these characters. (hide spoiler)]
The third part the angst really ramps up. Tension is HIGH. One thing after another just came in the way. It kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning. I HAD to know what would happen and I was aching for the HEA.
I enjoyed this story and would recommend to anyone that loves a heart-wrenching, second chance romance full of redemption. ...more
