Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story starts out with a daring escape from murders, but it splits a clan that only two survived that we know. Cryss is looking for any of the children that survived, Sheriff Reaves is trying to keep his town in one piece. A series of mystery, intrigue and revelations will come to light as these two delve into the past.

The problem with throwing caution to the wind, can mean love has a chance to sneak in. Bekah takes that chance with her high school crush.

A Marriage of Convenience for the Unloved Rancher: A Historical Western Romance Book by Cassidy Hanton

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This is a strange story about a man rejected by society because of a murdering, thieving man who represented himself as respectable. The man comes in and shoots the family, then blames the son. The whole town believes him. First of all this story line is unbelievable as written. Otherwise barring the background story, the characters and their relationship is well written. Unfortunately, the story line completely failed the well developed characters.
 

Family Bonds- Hunter and Kayla (Amore Island #1) by Natalie Ann

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the first book in this series and its the correct couple to start. This relationship is high energy even with the secret relationship going on. Kayla being the stubborn woman that she is, makes the dialog and chemistry between them flare. Although, the mystery of who wants to harm Kayla comes to a predictable end. Still the story is a fun read.
 

Family Bonds- Eli and Bella (Amore Island #6) by Natalie Ann

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eli is an enigma and is raking in the money in his casino. Bella is the daughter of a casino owner in Monte Carlo. Bella is sent for protection to Eli, but the sparks fly between these two. The tension and chemistry is tightly written. The answers and climax of the story is surprising, but answers a lot of questions. The suspense is tight and the characters are wonderfully written.
 

Jasmine Sea (River's End Mystery Romance #2) by Phillipa Nefri Clark

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

I wish I could say that this story could be a standalone, but I can't. I haven't read the first book, and there is a lot left in translation. The plot and mystery were stirring and the climax exciting. I wish I could have rated it higher, but the feeling of being lost continued to haunt me through out the story. I don't recommend reading this series out of order.
 

His Pure Heart's Disguise: A Historical Western Romance Book by Mia Dunham

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Betty and Arthur are great together, but Arthur is the snake in the garden of the farm's beehives. Only Arthur doesn't want to do the evil deeds that he has been blackmailed to do. The story is compelling and shows how guilt can cause you to redeem yourself, especially when you truly love someone. Hopefully, there is redemption for everyone who regrets a decision.
