Prescription from the Heart; Small Town Romance by Sisi Bee

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The story is heartfelt and filled with past hurt and loss. Emily is a woman full of love to give and Hanna and John need that love in their lives. I'm not quite sure how they go so fast from friends to lovers, but the ending is sweet.
 

Highlander’s Lost Heir by Fiona Faris

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The story is really intense from the first page to the last. One man is good and honorable, the other is immature and selfish. Aileen grew up with both men, but has only loved Brohein. The story takes some serious twists and becomes very complicated. It is action-packed and relationships are very complicated along with the complex characters written for this story. It begins with two men vying for the love of a woman. The main thing that impressed me is Aileen always knew who and what she wanted and never strayed from her heart. The major twist in this story will change the course of two clans. 

Just Right by A.M. Heath

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story has an insane plot and the story line is just above crazy. Three family members move into Georgia's house and one of them is her ex-boyfriend who is trying to get her back. The brother of the boyfriend is falling crazy in love with Georgia while the sister just sits back and smiles. The sister is without personality or character sustainability. It's a shame because the other three main characters have sturdy personalities and are vivacious, while the sister acts like she doesn't exist. The chemistry between Matthew and Georgia is intense.

Wild Fever (Chiasson Book 1) by Donna Grant

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This story is more erotic than paranormal. I'm not even sure what the relationship between these two is, only that they desire each other. The storyline is clear, but the story is just background for the erotica 

Christmas in Nutfield: (Nutfield Saga) by Robin Patchen

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There are two stories in this book. The first one is about Daniel Nolan from Innocent Lies. The second is about the Caro Neely from Convenient Lies.

Sleigh Bells &  Stalkers 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a reverse stalker where the female is stalking the guy. Daniel blows it off because she is a woman and doesn't see her as dangerous, until she slashes his tires with a large and sharp knife. The story takes off from there because a woman scorn is not going to hurt the man, but the people he loves. The story is intense and the climax held me on the edge of my seat.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This story started out well and the main characters on the island are well written. The story gets a little off track and finally derails when Bridget's parents and fiancé find her. In the end, when Ewan saves her from the villainy of her fiancé, he should have sunk that ship. People like that don't deserve to live. It's a wonder how nice people actually emerge from indifferent nd abusive parents.

Murder in Silver Mesa by Ashleigh Quinn (Free book for newsletter readers)

 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a good little cozy mystery with the right notes. The bookshop owner is a blast with all her bookly quirks. The cop on the case gives up trying to keep her out of the investigation when none of the towns people will talk to him unless Jane is there. This is a fun murder mystery with a little rom-com thrown in.

Until Now: A Wildflower Lake Prequel Novella By Lauren Elizabeth

 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s a story of unrequited love and a story of self deprecation. Kate allows her boyfriend to use and abuse her in the name of what is good for his career. She doesn’t recognize Steven from high school but he does and hires her in the college bookstore. He has one chance with when she invites him to her boyfriends gala. The story is poignant and addresses a lot of issues that women subject themselves to in the name of love. I wanted to slap Kate into seeing what her egotistical selfish boyfriend does to her as he twist his truth to manipulate Kate into his life even trying to change her career for his life. Love is kind and is not selfish. This story surely proves that line in the Bible.

The Wicked Abductor (Blackhaven Brides, #9.6) by Mary Lancaster
