★★★ ½ #AlphasMate #IchoosetheBear #ReneeRose #LeeSavino #Outnow I choose the bear. Matthias is a large bear shifter who has been trying his best not scare away his fated mate, Maisy. He has done such a great job that Maisy thinks Matthias cannot stand her. I enjoyed this sweet read and dived into this second book with zero issues catching up. What I enjoy about Renee Rose books is that the characters are realistic. Yes, even if they are a shifter. None of them are perfec

★★★ ½ #Careless #CarrieAnnRyn #NewSeries #AshfordCreek What is this? A teaser? A taster? A new series from Carrie Ann Ryan? I definitely want to get in from the start. This short little prequel starts off with a sweet milestone birthday bash that takes off. Felicity is now legal to drink and ready for all sorts of action. What is they say about forbidden fruit? All the tastier and more delicious. For Felicity, this is how she sees her older brother's best friend, Cal

★★★★★ #LoveinPlaneSight #LaurenConnolly #NetGalley Sweet and funny , this is a story not to be missed. Ms. Connolly's writing continues to be better and better. I love her romance stories and will read everything she writes. Love in Plane Sight brings us and center to the love of being in the air. Beth has always wanted to be a pilot. There are unfortunate obstacles in her life that have prevented her from flying. Still, it is a dream and it may just be possible to com

★★★★ #TheShopOnHiddenLane #JayneAnnKrentz #NetGalley When it comes to paranormal suspense with romance neatly entwined, Jayne Ann Krentz is always a winner for me. In the latest story, We are pull back into Fogg Lake and the mysterious government experimentation. The character types are familiar with Sophy Harper and Luke Wells. Sophy is the responsible one whilst Luke is the broody man with trust issues. Their families have a history together that has been mostly bad in t

★★★★ #ATouchofTreachery #JenniferEstep Sci-fi Action flick fans will thrill in the newest addition to the Section 47 series. We learn more about Desmond and Charlotte's history as key players from the past show up. We also are treated to Darling Daddy, Desmond's powerful father. No surprise that his father is arrogant and difficult. Charlotte has her hands full as she goes on a mission and it explodes. Charlotte is a favourite of mine because she is the underdog. She is c

★★★★ #QueenofDreams #KitRocha #Fantasy #Netgalley Fantastic follow up to book one, Queen of Dreams delivers punch after punch to Sachi and Zanya. This tale is filled with betrayal, subterfuge and power hungry madness. What I liked about this story is that it may come across as black and white with evil villains but no one is purely good nor purely evil. There are subplots within subplots of this tale. What happens when a golden child is reviled? What happens when up is do

★★★ #LegacyofBlood #HeatherGraham #NetGalley I see ghosts. Having ghostly spies to help surveillance and information gathering is a definite boon. In the 3rd book of the Blackbird Files, Jeanette flies off to France for another "vampire" like case. This series is a spin off of the popular Krewe of Hunters. I am still a bit mixed in my feelings on this series. What I enjoy about this story is the suspense and the solving of crimes. I also really enjoy the psychic aspect o

★★★★ #BondedinDeath #JDRobb How does this series after 60 books still stay fresh and intriguing? This book starts out in the oft mentioned Urban Wars. Is Author J.D. Robb predicting what will happen in the next decade? Because there seems to be quite the civil unrest occurring across the globe. Learning more about the whys and the whose involved in the Urban Wars seems to be foreshadowing a dark time for the next couple of decades, just in time for my retirement. Sigh. Fa

★★★★★ #Comingupforair #MeganHart #angst #netgalley When it comes to emotional conflict and angst, no one does it better for me than author Megan Hart. The conflicts she creates for her characters evoke a visceral response in me . . . every.bloody.time. I am in love with her writing because it cannot be easy to write these poignant love stories. In coming up for air, Ms. Hart once again showcases her ability to create star-crossed lovers in a moving manner. What does one do wh

★★★ #BetrayalRoad #TorpedoInk #ChristineFeehan #NetGalley This review is a long time coming. Christine Feehan books always catch my eye. Her darker series, Torpedo Ink featuring a motorcycle club consisting of survivors from child abuse is hit or miss for me. Whilst this one isn't exactly a full on miss, it did not engage me as much as some of the others. Primarily because the characters now seem to be interchangeable. There theoretically is still a long multiple book arc
