Toby Jane - Somewhere In Wine Country

4 Stars Great Read What a great romantic story in Somewhere In Wine Country by Toby Jane. I am a definite fan of this author! I liked the story from the beginning. I felt for Meg, and what she went through, and now, she has a lot of emotions for the billionaire that just bought her family's vineyard. Not only that, he offered her a job. So, we have Meg, distraught, emotional, angry and some how, she hides her attraction to Kane. We have two perspectives, Kane's and Meg's, and

Krysten Lindsay Hager - Competing with the Star

4 Stars Just when life seems perfect... Hager pens a sweet and realistic story in Competing with the Star. This story follows up from the book Next Door to a Star, which I read and liked. Poor Hadley, she is still living next door to a star, Simone Hendrickson, a TV star. Hadley has been living under her shadow and had been outcasted. Now, it's different for her, but is it really? It's a really good story about teenage (girl) angst and dealing with a he said/she said when it

Joel Flanagan-Grannemann - Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm

4 Stars Interesting story! What a grand fantastical "fairy" story in Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm by Joel Flanagan-Grannemann. This is the first work of this author that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. It started out a bit slow, but I think it was more to show who the characters were, especially since gifts from different "people" were given to Talia, from the Fairy Realm. It showed her status, and her behavior, especially her muttering to Flora, who Talia seemed to c

Savannah Kade - Crash & Burn

4 Stars Hot & Steamy, yet thrilling What an interesting romance story in Crash & Burn by Savannah Kade. As you may tell from the title, this is a romance story with firemen, and Kade is a very good writer that adds uniqueness to the story. It's not just a boy meets girl, loses girl, gets girl back. It is way different than that. Maggie is a great character, and even though in the beginning, Sebastian loses his chance to go out with her, he is still in her life. Now, Maggie, h

Marva Mitchell - Shatters

4 Stars Grand Vampiric Read! What a grand story in Shatters by Marva Mitchell. I read the first book in this series The Blood Legacy Saga and enjoyed it. Not your typical vampiric story, but that's the kind I like. Something unique, and interesting, not just blood suckers or humans falling in love for the vampire. It's about chaos and brutal rulings by vampires, and the darkness that is lingering. Lance and Jade are fighting for survival and each other, and it's a great read.

Marshall Evans - Francis Bay

4 Stars Spies, lies and secrets What a great story in Francis Bay by Marshall Evans. I have read another book by Evans before, and I enjoyed it. To be honest, when I saw the title (and cover) I was thinking Francis Bay was a place, not necessarily a person, but I loved how the author did. When you open the book and start reading, Bay's past and present may start to collide. I don't think the thought retirement would be this way. It's a very intriguing book, and Bay is not alw
