R E V I E W ➠ Captivated by the Light by Cheryl Sloan


(Beneath the Darkness Trilogy #1)


BLURB

Determined to live life on her terms, Jenna Lachlan focused her energy on growing her business all the while flying under the radar, but fate had other plans.
Insert the sexy, assertive, and captivating Cameron Rijker into the fold, and the stakes just got higher. He pushed her buttons, decimated her comfort zone, and made her yearn for a life she long since vowed wasn’t in the cards.
Their attraction was immediate, their chemistry undeniable, and their connection unparalleled. However, beneath the surface remained a secret so big that Jenna would go to any lengths to keep hidden no matter the cost.
The only downside to anonymity was that you could never fully trust anyone but yourself.

Captivated by the Light is the first book in the Beneath the Darkness Trilogy. Jenna and Cameron’s story continues in Blindsided by Darkness, followed by Darkness to Light.

RELEASE DATE: August 15, 2020



NEW to me author & books. Because this is a trilogy I am going to kind of sum up this review into one as opposed to 3 different ones. I haven’t read a trilogy in a long time so it brought me back to my good old days first reads. The amazing author was sweet enough to send me signed paperbacks and provide me with the full e-book all three in one version to read. Let’s just say that made it so much easier to just go to the next. I will try and summarize briefly my reviews on each and then as a whole. And this is a suspense trilogy, not many I read, to me it just has to have the right amount of good romance in them to get my attention and these did.

The first book really brings the heat. Mixed with a sexy hero, strong heroine and suspense, it was the perfect mix. But the heroine did hide a secret that I will NOT spoil on here, it will keep you on the edge for sure. I have to be honest and say I was waiting for that…the whole what is it, what’s going on, the author does a great job at keeping you engaged and on the edge about it all while giving you the sweetness of the hero with the heroine. You can’t help but fall in love with them both in this first book. Knowing it was a trilogy I still read to the end of book one and was like WHAAAAT what happened, luckily, I had the 2nd book right off bat and was able to continue my search for answers.

Book 2 you are ready for them to just…something…because even thought they had that INSTA-LUST it was still a crazy ride of emotions. I will say that I am never a fan of the heroine being with another man for any reason, but this trilogy reminded me of the Sylvia Day Crossfire and how much I loved and hated the books so much. Luckily the hero is a a man’s man and we really get the alpha side of him. I was a little less to like the heroine in this book. Even though the author gets more into depth in this book about the situations and the suspense, I just think the different side of the heroine kind of sort of ruined it for me in this. The suspense and little mystery kept me on the same edge wanting to know answers though. The cliffy left me thinking one thing and then the book delivered the final blow.

Book 3 we get a little bit of the lighter (get it light) in the trilogy. I think it was more romance and about the H&H as opposed to book 2 that kept you really on that edge of the seat. The author finishes off the trilogy with answers thank God as well as that sizzling chemistry and passion between H&H. Each book gave us something on it’s own but it fit perfectly together. It most definitely was not my usual read, or not anymore, this was MY read style since the Crossfire but with Trilogy’s it’s always hard to not put it something that to me I just dislike reading. That said, that is my personal preference, and these 3 books gave me a little of everything and I am happy that I gave these a go and would recommend them.

p.s. THE final ending to this trilogy WAS SO SWEET! That is all I will say!

R E V I E W ➠ Risky by Aurora Rose Reynolds


(Adventures in Love #2)


BLURB

Everly never expected to move back in with her parents, and she definitely didn’t expect to do so as a single mother. But with the father of her son suddenly out of the picture, she’s had to make some adjustments to her plans.
Now Everly has one priority: to make a life for herself and her boy. And Blake, her sometimes infuriating but admittedly handsome employer at Live Life Adventures, doesn’t factor into her future as anything more than her boss.
But it seems the guy who’s about as friendly as a grizzly bear has a soft spot for her and her son…and the more time she spends with him, the more difficult it is to remember why giving in to the chemistry between them is a bad idea.
Now, with their future on the line, they’ll have to decide if love is a risk worth taking.

RELEASE DATE: May 24, 2021



If you know me even a little I won’t repeat myself with Aurora’s books & me. I know every single one of her books like the back of my hand. HUGE FAN! That said, I was so ready for this book #2 in the new series! We get BLAKE the grumpy and sexy friend.

To recap just a little this is a wilderness adventure type of series. There are friends who co-own a adventure business and in Book #1 it’s very sweet and I loved every word. This one I was prepared for because I knew BLAKE was next and he was the very grumpy hunky hero in book #1. But wait, this will break your heart and mend it in the sweetest swooniest ways!

Blake is harboring secrets which is making him to be more uptight, needing to be in control and grumpy. After all he has a lot on his plate, but he takes it day by day. It’s not easy being around people but still feel alone. In comes our heroine who I LOVED from the first moment. Single-Mom divorced beauty who moves back to her hometown, is pretty much at the low point. What’s more is that she goes to cover the front desk of her father’s firm (the receptionist happened to be a sassy grandma who has a better love life than the heroine) and that’s where she meets Blake. It was not a good meeting. The next one isn’t as good but it only gets better. I am really trying not to just tell you guys the whole story because I totally want to. This is very sweet, heartbreaking and there is the cutest little baby and a hunk involved, need I say more?!

If you want grumpy hero, single-mom, swoony and an adventure…this is for you. Also highly recommend reading Book #1 in this series RUSHED!

R E V I E W ➠ Until Mic by Evan Grace




BLURB

Michael “Mic” Griffin is feeling restless. He’s watched all of his brothers succumb to the BOOM, but it’s not for him, or is it? When the wives and girlfriends of his brothers decide to take him to Teasers for his birthday, that one night will change his life forever.
The moment he sees Quinn, he recognizes her immediately as the girl he spent an amazing weekend with while he was on leave eleven years ago. When they meet to talk, she throws him for a loop—they have a daughter, and she’s the identical twin of her beautiful mother, and it’s love at first sight.
As Mic spends time with Quinn and Maci, he begins to fall deeper in love with both of them but when a threat presents itself, he’ll stop at nothing to protect his girls—from anyone that tries to take them away from him.
Quinn Hughes has done everything in her life for her daughter. Being a single mother has been hard, but she’d do it all over again for her girl. The night she runs into Michael again she’s so happy to finally be able to tell him about their amazing daughter—to her pleasure he wants to know Maci and jumps headfirst into parenthood.
Until Mic, Quinn didn’t think happy endings existed for her, but as the three of them head toward theirs, a threat from her past tries to tear theirs apart—one thing they don’t know is that Quinn is a fighter, and that’s what she intends to do for her family.

NEW to me author but not world. I think I have said to almost all the last 10 15 of these in the world that the new author’s are ruining the world for me because I am so familiar with it an unfort doesn’t service a purpose for me to read any of their other books. Some of them I am not sure how they end up with the orange amazon flag but to each it’s own. That said this is a first in a while of these I’ve read that I actually liked it because it fit the world well.

The dynamic between hero and heroine is a little odd to me, the meeting of the daughter threw me back because it was just so ‘eh it’s happening’ I was expecting a more emotional way about it. Then we have the heroine who is a main job stripper and a hero who fits in the world well but the scene at the club house regarding the club bunnies, what he said (turn off). Very slow-burn with lots of teasing, not used to that in the world too but it was sweet and sexy. I think again what I keep missing is that insta-love, hot and steamy, danger and the romance-passion between the couples. *sad sigh* this had the greatest potential I just was not able to really get into it without trying hard not to overly-judge the whole book based off of the world. This will be my last one reading in the world unless it’s a not-new to me author. Best of luck to the world and this author.

It was fun, sexy and the insta-love we crave from this world. You get a glimpse of the original characters and watch these two fall in love and handle life together.

R E V I E W ➠ Until April by Aurora Rose Reynolds




BLURB

With happily ever after being something that happens to other people, April Mayson has decided to put all her energy into her career and living her best life, and things are better than ever.
Little does she know that her world is about to be turned upside down when she’s asked to help out a family friend, Maxim Kauwe.
Now, she’s dealing with a man unlike any she’s ever met before, her ex—a famous musician who’s decided he wants her back—and a possible serial killer.
With all the drama suddenly swirling around her, she will have to figure out if she is brave enough to trust Maxim with her heart and maybe even her life.

RELEASE DATE: October 26, 2021


“You’re right; you can’t, but whatever this shit is that now lives inside me is a monster you created. A monster you fed with your beauty, you attitude, your smiles, and the softness you work so hard to hide. You gave all that to me, so now it’s mine, and I don’t like sharing it with anyone.”

– Maxim

In such a short time, he’s become important in a way that I wasn’t sure anyone would ever be. He’s accepted me for me, pushed when I’ve tried to pull away, and stood steady when I’ve felt like the tidal wave of emotions he’s brought up would send me under.

– April


Not my first read by the author or the series, I have re-read all her books 100 times so safe to say I love her writing style and all her series and single books! That said I was super excited about April because to me she was kind of a rebel but little more wild and sophisticated. This book really took me by the best surprise, and not only because Maxim is the son of my absolute favorite hero HIS DAD KAI!

Maxim is Kai & Mia’s son, and boy was he all his dad with a mix of his mom. Strong, sexy, confident, smart, arrogant and still very romantic and sweet in his own way. April is Asher and November’s baby (these two are the first and beginning of the series) that said she is a little more independent, sophisticated and carefree wild…she just knows her self and body and works it all very well. When she gets a call from her uncle asking to help out Maxim to find a new home and possibly a new business to open, she is hesitant because the last time she really remembers him is when she was 16 and him 18 and he gave her her first kiss. A kiss she would never forget but it was a hurtful parting. She chooses to be an adult and agree, only to be confronted with not a boy anymore but a confident sexy man. April can control herself of course…or can she. They meet at a bar that she wanted to show Maxim to purchase from old friends of hers who own it, she is reminded of her ex who happens to be a lead singer of a popular band. It ended bad and she truly was moving on and not even giving it a thought again, except that’s how ex’s like to play, always try to come back to your life when you’re at your best. April is having none of it and when she meets Maxim at the place, they end up leaving to his hotel for a drink and to talk. The place being so packed Maxim decided to take it to his room because they would have more privacy. When April is near Maxim her stomach ties up gets butterflies but she must control herself, after all he did do what he did back in the day. One kiss (and what a damn kiss) changes all that.

I am going to stop here because if you’ve read ARR’s books you know that if I go on I would give out the book entirely, and TRUST ME when I say you do not want that with this one. It’s one that will have you swooning, laughing, feeling their chemistry, their kiss *insert heart eyes* I truly truly felt all the words ARR wrote! You do get to enjoy the glimpse of previous characters including November, Asher, Kai, Mia and more. By the end of this all I wanted was to right away re-read it and needed more of them. When I say Maxim is his father I mean that in the best give you tingles in your tummy way.

Feisty Confident Heroine, Sexy Alpha Hero, the BOOM, mystery, romance, suspense, action, laughter, swooning, steamy scenes….a TOP 2021 MUST READ for sure!

R E V I E W ➠ Only One Regret by Natasha Madison




BLURB

Cooper
My name came with big skates to fill.
At the top of my game, I had everything I wanted, or so I thought.
Being traded to Dallas was not what I was expecting but neither were the divorce papers I was served.
Now I’m a single dad in a city that isn’t my home.
Erika
Handed my biggest client when I was twenty-two made my dreams come true.
Over time, our work relationship changed, and we grew closer, leaning on each other for support.
He was my rock, my best friend.
Then one drunken night changed everything, and I saw what was in front of me all along.
I just hope that when the dust settles, we won’t regret it. 

RELEASE DATE: October 19, 2021



Not my first read by the author or the series, I have been following this series and the interconnected ones before since the first book & I have loved them all. This one I wasn’t sure what to expect only because I knew who the hero and heroine were to one another. p.s. I’m not sure if this is a warning of good or bad to anyone but there is a lot of SEXY TIMES in this and I mean A LOT!

Let’s begin. The hero and heroine are Cooper the sexy player & Erika his agent but also very best friend in the world. They have been through more than a married couple ever could, through good and the bad, kids, marriage…everything. When Cooper get’s a divorce that was long seen already, Erika is right there to help him through it. Little did she know Cooper never really needed that because in the end things always turn out the way they are supposed to. Cooper is a hot single dad who loves his little girls, the game & also his family. Erika has been around his family from day one and when things turn none of them are shocked, well maybe one person:)

Their chemistry is off the charts in a insta-love I know you type of way. I think I loved the fact that these two were so honest with each other and able to read one another. Cooper is sweet, swoony and a great man all around and Erika, you will fall in love with her from page one. They spend a lot of time together, share everything and even a family vacation that was a lot of fun to read about. You get sucked into their life and won’t want to come out of it!

This is a friends-to insta-love romance that will have you smile, swoon, tear up a little, giggle and wet!! (yeah, I said it)

R E V I E W ➠ Inmate of The Month by Lani Lynn Vale


(Souls Chapel Revenants MC #7)


BLURB

A porn video changed his life.
One second, he has an ex with an ax to grind, and the next, he’s internet famous—and definitely not in a good way. In an, it’ll ruin your career, kind of way.
Only, Laric didn’t know that he was internet famous.
Not until a black-haired beauty walks into his life, and stumbles over every word that she says because all she can picture is him doing the unthinkable for the world to see.
Sadly, that’s not the only thing wrong in his life. His world is messed up, and he likes it that way.
There’s no room for a woman that wants to fix him.
Because fixing requires intimacy, and intimacy isn’t something that Laric does. Not after the life that he’s lived, and the things he’s done to survive. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that he’s a felon, and he has no regrets about how he got that title.
The last thing he needs in his life is a woman that has her head in the clouds and thinks this world is made of butterflies and confetti.
However, Catori isn’t who she seems.
The day she meets tall, dark, and handsome, he saves her life. And then never leaves—though not for his lack of trying.
Not that she’s complaining about the way they’re thrown together, time after time. She’s more than willing to have a man like Laric around. Mostly because she’s already seen the good in him that he refuses to admit that’s there.
He may be a biker that does questionable things, but in her heart, she knows that he does those bad things for good reasons. And she’s not about to throw away the chance at happiness just because he thinks he knows what’s best for her.
Plot twist: she knows what’s best for her. And that’s him.

RELEASE DATE: September 21, 2021



Not my first read by the author and I have read all the books before in this series! I must say this one was intense, I was hanging on the seat of each page!

The hero in this is a ex-con who was at the right place at the right time. Or so he thought, when there are shots fired he springs into action. The heroine is really fun, outgoing and beautiful. When she watched something for her best friend, it turns out to be the same man that not only occupies her dreams but now is right in front of her. What happens when a heroine sees the hero in a uncompromised intimate way but the hero doesn’t even have a clue what’s going on? Well a whirlpool of fun, danger, smiles, laughter, passion and love!

I’m not ready to be a single dad…
I had my life all figured out.
Hockey. A revolving door of women. No strings. No worries.
Until my sister runs off with a man she’s just met and leaves my nine-year-old niece in my living room with nothing but a backpack, a stuffed snake named Leo, and a broken heart.
I need help.
Elle Hurst was only supposed to be in my life for one night–a curvy distraction with a big heart and a wicked sense of humor. But she’s volunteered to watch Chloe while she’s in town, and I have no choice but to let her.
It can’t last.
She has an expiration date, a life to get back to in Savannah, and I don’t do relationships. I know people don’t stick around no matter how much you want them to–it’s a lesson I’ve been taught my whole life.
I won’t risk losing my heart…or will I?

RELEASE DATE: August 26, 2021



NEW to me author and books. I’ve had a crazy year this year so I did not remember if I requested this ARC but it showed up either way, so I gave it a try. I am glad I did, I fell in love with both the Hero & Heroine.

Tag is a single-dad but in a little bit of a different way. He is a hockey star and well his life isn’t as easy as one would think. I fell in love with the hero from the start, I can appreciate why he had his walls up because of his past but he stood no chance with Chloe. She was just so adorable, sweet, beautiful and real. Their chemistry was not only physical but just an over all, and I loved watching them dance around one another and when we got to the beautiful moment, I was swooning and blushing in the same.

Very sweet story, love the sport romance vibe & the characters.

R E V I E W ➠ Running on Diesel by Melissa Foster


(The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor #9)


BLURB

Desmond “Diesel” Black is a Nomad with the Dark Knights motorcycle club. He protects others with his life and always rides alone. Tracey Kline left the only family she had for a man who broke more than her spirit, leaving her untrusting and on her own. When a twist of fate reveals pieces of the other no one else sees, will they be able to help each other mend their past hurts and learn to trust the chemistry and connection that’s too strong to deny?

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2021



Not my first read by the author, she is one of my very top favorite and insta-read authors. Not only have I read almost every single one of her books but I also own more than 40 in paperbacks alone. Aaaaalso, this series is one of my favorites from her! I am and forever will be a WHISKEY FAN!

This one is a enemy-to because even though the heroine and hero have know each other for a while, the heroine comes from a hurtful past. Diesel has been protecting Tracey for a couple years now, keeping his distance but also keeping anyone from getting near her. What I love about these two is that the tension was so intense I was on the toes waiting for the blow up, and when it finally happened it was so raw, passionate and in need! Okay I will only say this because it’s a dislike of mine (personal preference) but the heroine does go on a date with another man even if he was a good guy and I actually can’t wait to read his book also but I had to skip that portion, I tend to read with all my feelings and knew if I fully read the date part because it wasn’t a bad date per-say there is a kiss involved, but the heroine did not feel anything for the date. They def were not meant to be but just because it’s in here in detail, I had to stop, skip that part and continue. That said, it’s that date that actually pushes the heroine over the edge and the beautiful explosion happened!

I have to say that Diesel is beyond SWOONY in a dark and grumpy way, but once you find out the hurt behind his grumpiness, you will cry rivers. It’s beautiful to see the heroine stand up for him, and want to be part of his life, be honest with him, connect. Everything about these two was beautiful even when painful!

If you want enemy-to with a lot of sexual tension build up that will have you explode, a grumpy, big, handsome and swoony hero, a strong heroine that has been hurt in the worst way possible and a love that you see coming from a mile THIS IS YOUR READ! I would highly recommend this whole series, the Whiskey Series is something you will want to re-read in the years to come. p.s. the title makes so much sense I can’t! The shock surprise in this will have you in tears and wishing you could go back! Heartbreaking but so damn beautiful!

p.s. Melissa just keep going forever on this series please because WE NEED MORE!

R E V I E W ➠ Flirt With Me by Kristen Proby


(The O’Callaghans #4)


BLURB

There are two things Maeve O’Callaghan values more than anything else: her family and her career. Being the eldest daughter in a large, close-knit and somewhat chaotic Irish family means spending most of her nights in the family-owned pub, serving drinks and food, always accompanied by a smile. During the day, she’s a superstar real estate agent, selling homes on her beloved island just across Puget Sound from Seattle. She doesn’t have time for much else, and she’s perfectly okay with that.
Enter Hunter Meyers. He’s looking for a new place to call home, somewhere out of the city, and believes life on the island could be just the thing for him and his troubled teenage daughter. While in search of finding the perfect house, his sexy realtor catches his eye, making him feel things he hasn’t in years. But with the added baggage of a surly teen and a past that will never be forgotten, how can he make something permanent with the gorgeous Irishwoman who tempts him like no other?
Maeve isn’t just attracted to Hunter with his killer grin and muscles for days. The teenager that tries so hard to push her away also pulls at her heartstrings. Maeve understands the importance of family, and can see herself making just that with Hunter and his daughter. But when his past comes back to haunt him, will their love be strong enough, or will they be ripped apart forever?

RELEASE DATE: August 17, 2021



Not my first read by the author, and I have read the previous series books as well. I was excited and ready for this one!

AND OMG! I don’t know where to start but to say that Hunter SWOON SWOON DREAM BOOKBOYFRIEND! This is a combo of a Single-Dad Fighter that is all about the heroine! I can’t say I disliked any page! MUST READ!

After Hunter retires, his main focus is on his 15 year old daughter. She is a handful but lately seems to be more of a pain in the ass. But he is dedicated to her and would do anything for her. Even if she might hate him if they move to a small island. When Hunter arrives to his soon to be new home, he goes to a pub and meets the most gorgeous woman with red hair and emerald eyes. Little does he know, he will be seeing her a lot sooner than he planned. The heroine is perfect! Not just because she is beautiful but because she is real down to earth sexy woman. Realtor by day and a sassy sexy waitress by night for her family’s pub, she didn’t expect to see the handsome man that asked for her number this soon. She also didn’t expect to have to get him to hate a house that is perfect for him. Things may seem to go very fast, but the type of chemistry these two have and maturity, I was so happy to see it go this way. You get romance, SWOON, fun, danger, passion and heart! Oh and a very very SEXY ex fighter with arms of a god!

R E V I E W ➠ The Right Side of Wrong by Prescott Lane




BLURB

It wasn’t love at first sight. That would be too easy.
I can tell you all the reasons Paige and I shouldn’t be together.
But love overlooks a lot.
My heart doesn’t care that I’m ten years older.
There’s no age gap in how she makes me feel.
My heart doesn’t care that she’s a single mother.
It just makes more room.
My heart doesn’t care that she’s got secrets of her own.
It’s used to keeping mine.
The moment I laid eyes on Paige, I lost control. 
Control of my desires. Control of my secrets. Control of my heart.
Right or wrong, we’re going to have to fight for our happily ever after. 
And I don’t plan on losing.

RELEASE DATE: July 29, 2021



NEW to me author and books. This is a Dual-POV.

This being my first read by the author, I saw this blurb and really it caught my eye so I went for it. It is a little bit of a different writing style and tone than I am sued to reading so it was harder for me to pick up on it. The hero and Heroine weren’t insta love, it was rather a struggle until the moment but what kind of threw me off is that there was no build up to the INSTA-LOVE if that makes sense. Not to mention that the heroine’s secret of big reveal didn’t really happen until after 90% and by then I was done (not done with the book but just in my mind set done with the story type) so on both instances I saw it coming but really wanted that build up. I don’t know if it was because it felt out of order and line for me at times. I still enjoyed their chemistry together, it was really beautiful. The heroine is a single mom raining a child, no money, and the Hero is a rather wealthy man who does well for himself in life. I do like that type of style, I just wish it wasn’t jumbled a little for more. But for a NEW author to me, i really enjoyed the read.

When it comes to life’s fun and games, always know:
The rules.
What’s at stake.
When to quit.

Wise words from…well…my fortune cookie. But wise words, nonetheless.
I just wish the Fortune Cookie People had considered how hard the whole “knowing when to quit” would be to carry out when a woman like me is gambling with her feelings.
Heart-palpitating, vageen-tingling, butterflies-in-my-belly feelings for a noncommittal, hot-as-sin player by the name of Jude Winslow.
After a crazy night where we were both pretending to be someone else, I’ve found myself immersed in the fun of the fling.
The thrill.
The irresistible charm.
The pleasure of being with a man like him.
Problem is, I’m positive he’s the exact opposite of husband material, and that is a serious issue for someone who is fixated on finding her happily ever after.
I know the rules and I know the stakes, oh wise Fortune Cookie.
Now I’d just like to know how close to self-destruction I have to get before I find the will to quit Jude Winslow.

Goodness knows, when your heart is on the line, you can’t ante up your bet with an IOU.

“To the Girl Scouts: We’re sorry. To orgasms: Holy moly, you showed up for this book. Not even Savannah Cummings (IYKYK) knows what to do with this many of you.”


Not my first read by the author but they are a fairly still new to me author I am figuring out the tone of.

Jude and Sophie couldn’t be more different. Where the hero is a laid back love living life and Sophie is more the I need a plan and organization type, it was so much fun to watch them come together. I think the hero here really tries to show the heroine how to live a little but in the process gets cough up in all that is Sophie. Let’s not forget that this may have be a lighter read and fun, it was full of deep emotion. The side characters were a great addition to the story and I will be reading more in this series for sure! p.s. this is not a warning but it THESE TWO STEAM UP your glasses if you know what I mean! Be warned 😉

Beautiful, caring, and strong.
When she made my son smile, I knew she was mine.
I’m able to break down her walls, to uncover the secrets she buries deep.
But danger lurks around the corner.
Someone doesn’t want Tia in our lives.
I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure my family is safe.
I’ve never felt love like this…Until Tia.

RELEASE DATE: July 23, 2021



New to me author but not world. Until Tia is part of Until November, and Tia is bff’s with Tia and her sister Gabby. This story really might hit a few triggers (ex abuse) but apart from that and including that it fit very well in. Tia tries to move on but her past keeps her from hitting that final push. Chris is a single dad who has his own baggage except he comes with the sweetest little boy and I couldn’t get enough of him. They two meet by fate but they were meant to be, from the beginning from the way Christopher is to the way Tia feels safer around him. Throw in meeting his cute little son and it’s cuteness and swoon overload. But Tia knew it would be too good to be true, just when she is happy her past always comes knocking…in this case lurking. My heart broke for her and the HEA was everything that you’d need from a BOOM!

Sebastian is the man of my dreams so how can I be the one to smash his?

RELEASE DATE: July 25, 2021



NOT my first read by the ladies and I also have read some of the previous books in this series.

This one has me all up in every emotion. In the beginning I was really SWOONING off my feet and then the ex and baby news hit and it was a little uncomfortable because I knew where the heroine was coming from but then I don’t know my hopeless romantic heart was super sad about what had happened during that time. That said, I will also say that the baby-mama was a mystery to me, at first I was okay with it because of what the hero had said and then the heroine met her and I was instantly like “what just happened” but then it went back so her, yeah I am not so sure about her during the whole book. This one contains some secrets and mystery I didn’t see coming but once it occurred I was not sure how I felt about it.

The hero and heroine meet when Amy texted Sebastian thinking it her was ex. I was really into both of them at the beginning I mean I was SWOONED off my feet yes, and I had a feeling set. When the whole ex who’s now a baby-mama came into play, things shifted with my own feelings as well as the H & H. I was on the edge the whole time waiting for the shoe to drop, and boy was I not ready. Although their romance was sweet and rapid, I was most definitely on the edge the whole book. I loved to see the whole dynamic, the side characters, the drama, the heartbreak and love. Loyal lawyer really stood up to his name!

R E V I E W ➠ Until I Met You by Amanda Faye


(Happily Ever Alpha World)


BLURB

Dr. Sebastian Ross knows a wounded warrior when he sees one. He thought his days of patching up soldiers were done when he left the Army. Then a bleeding beauty enters his ER. One with haunted eyes, a scarred body, and a military insignia tattooed into her skin. When she disappears without a trace, leaving a fake name behind, he makes it his purpose to track her down and make sure she’s safe.
Cinder Bennet is a warrior. Foster homes, the military, she’s seen it all and survived. When her marriage turns violent, and its kill or be killed, she decides to run instead. She’s started over fresh before, after all. Her only mission is to stay under the radar. But then she meets the doctor with the kind eyes, and his determination for her safety takes her breath away.
When Sebastian looks at Cinder, he doesn’t see a broken soldier with cracks in her armor from a hard-lived life, but a woman strong and proud. From the minute he lays eyes on her, he’s determined to be both her shield and her sword. To fill the holes in her heart—with him.

RELEASE DATE: July 9, 2021


NEW to me author but I am not new to the series. I didn’t know what to expect from this one so I just dived in.

This one fit well into the world. I will say that I was not connected fully as I usually am in this world but it was early enough to get sucked into the story. Cinder is a heroine that I don’t gravitate towards fully, I couldn’t connect with her. Sebastian the hero who is the Dr. that wants Cinder but she refuses to give him a chance for reasons. What kind of mostly helped for me and I loved was Sebastians patience and kindness…yes the heroine really did go through trauma and was stubborn but to me it was a little over the top, and I really wanted that BOOM effect eventually, that is I think the main reason I couldn’t connect to the heroine. Light and quick read.
