Someone to Love by Addison Moore

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I absolutely loved this book! On more than one occasion I was laughing out loud, biting my nails in anticipation and swooning with stars in my eyes over the romance. The characters are so real and easy to relate to. The steamy scenes were done to perfection, not too much or too little. The author definitely has a way with words that romanced me the entire read. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a hot romance!

Perfect for You by Kate Perry Book Review

Perfect for You by Kate Perry

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I downloaded this and finished it in 24 hours! The storytelling is impeccable, there's zero lagging or any feeling of being rushed. Kate makes me want to be a better a writer! I found myself rooting for the characters right away. I laughed out loud and got giddy and excited along with Freya and even her meddling little sister ;) The buildup is just the right amount of teasing and the payoffs, that's right plural, are worth it! Can I ask for more of Max please? So yum ;)

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines Book Review

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is by far Abbi's best work. I was so intrigued by the characters, their interactions and the emotion flowing through every page. What was supposed to be light reading before bed turned into an all-night read until I was done. I had two hours to sleep before my alarm for work was set to go off! I found myself wanting to cry from the very beginning and finally shed a few tears in the middle and definitely at the end. I can hardly wait for the second book and I'm sure I'll gobble it up in one sitting again :) I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves , hot romances with a heart. The characters are well-developed, the story is spellbinding and the end leaves you wanting more!

Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford Book Review

Gabriel's Hope by Lizzy Ford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was a great spin off. I was glued to the story from the first page to the last. There wasn't any time during the story that it lulled or got so detailed I had to skim just to get to the next interesting part. This is what I love about Lizzy's stories, it's never too little or too much!

There isn't much I can touch on that isn't written in the description summary without reiterating it or giving away spoilers and honestly the summary is more than enough. What I will say is you won't be sorry you decided to read this story, I very highly recommend this book to any person who loves the supernatural, romance and a very well written story filled with believable characters and twists you don't see coming!

Gio (5th Street, #2) by Elizabeth Reyes Book Review

Gio by Elizabeth Reyes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When tragedy strikes in the ring, Giovanni Bravo falls into a deep depression, walking away from his dream of boxing to train instead. He agrees to a two month get-away, helping train Felix Sanchez, his high school best friend and now welterweight champ of the world. Once at Felix’s lavish boxing complex, he’s reunited with Bianca Rubio, someone he remembers only as the girl with the innocent doe eyes back in high school. Her refreshing, cheerful demeanor not only takes Gio’s mind off his troubled conscience, he finds himself falling for her fast and hard. The problem—Bianca is Felix’s girlfriend.

Having a sexy, famous boyfriend has its perks, but they come with a price. Bianca not only has to deal with the ongoing tabloid rumors about her boyfriend hooking with other women, but also his constant absence when he is on the road. So now that Felix will be in town for two whole months to train for his next big bout, Bianca is thrilled. He’s even asked her to move into his cabin while he's there. But when he leaves for days at a time to promote his fight, Bianca spends time getting to know Felix’s gorgeous new trainer and good friend, Gio. Increasingly drawn to his sweet smile and smoldering green eyes, she finds herself saying and doing things she normally wouldn’t.

As it becomes more and more difficult for each to resist the other, Gio crosses the line between them. He hopes that one kiss will alleviate the overwhelming temptation and clear both their systems, but it does just the opposite. Their temptation suddenly becomes an obsession--an obsession that quickly forces Gio to realize this is more than just lust. He's fallen hard and to his delight so has she. Now he's forced to make the hardest decision of his life. Risk losing his long time friend or walk away from the only girl he's ever loved.

My Review:
I was immediately drawn into the story from the fist paragraph and couldn't put it down until 1:30 this morning when I finally finished it! I was not disappointed once. Reyes does an amazing job of creating a world filled with characters so believable I found myself laughing and crying with them. This is a must read for anyone who loves a good romance that keeps you on the edge of your seat!

The Drifting by L. Filloon Book Review

The Drifting by L. Filloon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“Welcome to Velesi, Princess.”

It is Lily’s first day in the Velesi realm but not as the princess she was made to believe, but as a captive to a strange Lithi elf name Ziri – Tharin and Tolan’s mysterious brother. Who is he and why has he taken her? Or is he only a pawn in someone’s deadly game of chess?

Tharin and Lily discover a prophecy involving the Unnamed Sidhe and a way back to Eirrell, the birthplace of the Thirteen Clans. However, before they can get to the doorway to Eirrell, Lily must first make it to the Day of the Seating to take her rightful place on the throne of the Willow Clan.

Tharin must keep Lily safe until the Day of the Seating even if it means keeping the beautiful Sidhe warrior Kalis close to him. Will he be able to protect his naïve, but stubborn bride-to-be not just from Harlu but from his warrior mistress? He once again turns to his brother and cousin, to only find that Tolan has his own problems with his feisty Julia.

Thank goodness for the future king of Velesi that he has Phoris, Alorn and Mellis to cover his royal back.

Welcome to Velesi, a realm existing alongside our own with their own rules, their own players and their own way of life.

My Review:
I absolutely loved this book! I could hardly put it down and I can hardly wait for the next book! The relationship between Lily and Tharin is so addicting. I was constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen between Lily and Tharin. Would they ever tell each other how they really feel? Will they stop butting heads long enough to love each other?

I fell more in love with all the characters from the first book especially Mellis and Ziri. They both brought much needed lightheartedness and humor to the story.

The imagery is spellbinding. I was easily transported to Velesi and the character development was done to perfection, I felt everything they felt. This is a definite must read :)

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory Review

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book, the supernatural elements and the romance was done just right. There were a few parts where I skimmed because Jolie's thoughts could run a little long! I'll definitely be reading the next three books in the series and hope I won't have to wait too long for the happy ending between Jolie and her sexy warlock ;) If you're trying to decide to read this book and can't find your answer in all the reviews it's free on Amazon and probably on other e-book sites I'd say get it and find out for yourself--hopefully you won't be disappointed!

Fate Succumbs By Tammy Blackwell Review

Fate Succumbs by Tammy Blackwell

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was not the ending I expected, but it was a good ending nonetheless. I fell in love with this story before I even finished the Destiny Binds and Miss Tammy continued to pull me in with Time Mends even when it became obvious my guy choice was never going to be The One (sigh)! My one and only dislike was that the buildup to the final battle with the Alpha Pack and Scout finally realizing who her one true love is felt really dragged out! Still, that wouldn't stop me from recommending this series because in the end it really was a great read :)

Mark of the Wolf by T.L. Shreffler Review

Mark of the Wolf by T.L. Shreffler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is not just another werewolf story, because this is not your typical werewolf. Unlike some other werewolf stories where the hero is more than animal Gareth is as temperamental, unrefined and as wild as the wolf within. He can be protective and tender, but the urges of the wolf often outweigh sensibility. Rough around the edges and a face and body to crave, Maddy is instantly under his spell. The story follows Maddy a young 18 year old who tries to deal with the horrible life she’s been given when her mother committed suicide leaving her to be raised by an abusive step-father. Every time the abuse gets to be too much Maddy runs off into the woods behind her cabin home and one night at the tender age of 11 a young man finds her cold and scared. He carries her home and the pattern continues until she turns 14. Gareth is not just Maddy’s savior, at 18 he reveals to her that she’s his lifemate. That not the only thing he reveals, after he saves her from a vicious attack in his werewolf form he tells her what she saw was real and that he is an exiled werewolf. Hearing his story of how he was cheated out of becoming Alpha of his old pack, Maddy offers to repay the many times he helped her by helping him take back what is rightfully his.

Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford Review

Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book in my opinion definitely deserves the 5 stars I gave it. The characters, their story, the magical world they live in it's all believable and very captivating. The tale of Summer an orphan from the age of four is a heart-wrenching one for sure. It's impossible not to feel what she feels and want her story to end happily-ever-after. Of course a good story takes you on a journey to that happy ending that Lizzy creates beautifully and leaves you wanting more! Dark Summer is filled with everything a reader like me can ask for in a YA story, it wasn't mushy at all, everything that took place between Decker and Summer was perfect timing especially where teens are concerned, the magical elements were fascinating and not over done at all. I can hardly wait for the second and third books!

Veiled Eyes (Lake People) by C.L. Bevill Review

Veiled Eyes by C.L. Bevill

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was very different from what I had expected and I mean that in a good way! I liked all the characters, I especially liked how even the smallest of characters were so well defined. The emotion in this book was so palpable, I felt like I was there with Anna the entire time. The slow progression of Anna and Gabe's relationship was perfectly written. Despite their supernatural connection they didn't just jump into being in love and I really liked that about the story. The town and their back story was the most intriguing and intricately developed. There are twists and turns in the story that kept me captivated to the every end. This story has a little something for every reader, suspense, love and supernatural beings. I highly recommend going on this roller coaster journey so wonderfully created by Bevill and the best part is it's FREE! :)

Watched by Cindy M. Hogan Review

Watched by Cindy M. Hogan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really liked this story. It was a nice break from all the supernatural stories I normally read.

While sneaking out for a night of exploration without the chaperones Christy and her group see a meeting and a murder they shouldn't have. After going to the FBI they find out the bad guys are a greater threat they could have imagined. Until the FBI can find the bad guys and put them away they're lives are in danger, but this isn't the only exciting thing going on in D.C. Christy quickly becomes the object of two guys affection. Who will she pick? The aloof rebel who pushes her to do all the exciting things she never dreamed of doing and especially not before her 16th birthday (when her parent allow her to date). Or the guy who shares her values and promises to wait patiently for her 16th birthday. Her heart wants both, but her conscience is telling her only one is right for her. This story is fun, exciting and will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end!

The Vincent Brothers by Abbi Glines Review

The Vincent Brothers by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I can't decide if I like this one better than The Vincent Boys, maybe it's a tie! After reading the first book it doesn't seem that Sawyer could be the possessive, crazy about a girl type like is brother until Ashton's shy, conservative cousin Lana returns looking hotter than ever. He isn't exactly over Ash just yet, but he thinks Lana could be a great distraction and maybe exactly what he needs to get Ash's attention again. What he didn't expect was to fall head over hills for her and not realize it until it was too late. Seeing this side of Sawyer was nice! Beau on the other hand has gotten even more protective and jealous to the point that it was overkill. I wanted Sawyer to put him in his place and tell him to calm down. Every comment Sawyer made set Beau off in a rage throwing out threats and warnings. Still it couldn't distract from the exciting romance brewing between Sawyer and Lana. I loved knowing their thoughts and felt Lana's excitement and let downs 'til the very end! This is another must read :)

Witchcraft (Witchblood #2) by Emma Mills Review

Witchcraft (Witchblood, #2). by Emma Mills

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Witchcraft picks right up where Witchblood left off and jumps right into the action. This time the focus is on her growing witch powers and those that will stop at nothing to get Jess on their side making them either a very powerful coven or clan. I loved the story very much I couldn't put it down until I finished it! Jess is still as stubborn and naive as ever, she's so set on what she wants to do she misses the obvious traps until it's too late. I was a little irritated by this, thinking at what point will she finally get it, but then again she is new to the supernatural world and the wicked in disguise individuals that inhabit said world. I was happy when she finally let go of her feelings for Luke and gave into her love for Daniel. She still struggled with trusting him, but that didn't hold her back from wanting to see where their relationship could go. The ending I did not see coming and I have to say I'm hanging on by a thread for the final book which can't come soon enough!

Witchblood by Emma Mills Review

Witchblood by Emma Mills

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Let me start by saying though I did not give the book a five star rating I did LOVE it! The story was well developed, easy to follow and bewitching ;) I couldn't put it down until I finished it. The characters are believable and likable, whether you like to love them or like to hate them, the emotion is there. The descriptions of each scene was great in that it didn't drag on to the point where I had to skim just to get to the dialogue so that was a definite plus! I loved the relationship developing between Jess, 17 yr old newly turned vampire/half witch, and her maker Daniel. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I desperately wanted it to speed up, but understood why Jess couldn't allow herself to fall in love so quickly. My only problem, however, was that Jess could be so naive or sheltered and yet be so unwilling to trust those closest to her (Daniel and Eva). I get her being stubborn, behaving like a 17 year old and not wanting to submit to a "master". I could even understand her not trusting Luke after feeling so deceived, but sharing a telepathic bond with Daniel, being able to feel what he feels and the lengths he goes to protect her, I don't understand why even 'til the end of the book she's still hesitant to fully trust him. This aside, the story was so spellbinding as soon as I finished I went to the author's blog, became a fan, following her updates, and bought the second book.

The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines

The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I need a minute to breathe and maybe to fan myself! This was definitely a story I didn't expect. The premise is nothing new, but the character (the very sexy) Beau is someone to fall into lust with! I can't believe I'm admitting that in public, but I feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one. I read many reviews from other readers on Goodreads.com about how much they were kicking themselves for waiting so long to read the book and after reading it myself I joined in on the kicking! If I didn't have to take breaks in my reading for work and sleep I would have finished it sooner! I loved the beginning with the buildup to Beau and Ash's summer together and the twist delivered toward the end I just didn't see that coming until Beau's mom started speaking! I was thoroughly pleased with the ending, thank you Abbi Glines for that! I don't want to over-hype the book, but if you're a hopeless romantic always in love with the bad boy then you won't be disappointed.

The story follows Ash, the quintessential preacher's daughter-good girl do very bad things with her boyfriend's cousin. Ash (Ashton), Sawyer and Beau have been the best of friends since childhood, but things change when the boys fall in love with Ash as she turns into a beautiful young teen. Sawyer, the all-American, good-boy and town prince seizes the moment at 14 and asks Ash out leaving Beau, the town bad-boy, to pine for her from a distance. They're 17 and Sawyer is off on an outdoor family trip for the summer leaving behind Ash and Beau to rekindle their friendship. They fire up more than a friendship when both can't keep their hands off each other. The time spent together has Ash and Beau falling more in love with each other with every touch, kiss and steamy encounter, but can they continue to follow their hearts when it means they'll have to break Sawyer's heart? You'll have to read it to find out :)
