Hate Notes by Authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

4 Notes

This story had it all for me.  It was a sweet romance bout believing in love even when love has kicked you in the face.  We all need that something to believe in but when it is a truly heartfelt hand written note, you can not believe in love.  

Charlotte is down on her luck.  Her wedding was not to be.  Then she has been having no luck with finding a job.  But sometimes you have to have to bad to finally reach the good.  When Charlotte sees this wedding dress, it calls to her.  But isn't it bad luck to buy someone else's wedding dress?  But when faith steps in and you find a note sewn into this dress, you know it is fate.  This is exactly what Charlotte needs to believe again.

Reed Eastwood is dreamy.  Charlotte can not believe that he is the man that wrote the blue note.  And what happened to his bride?  After a chance encounter with Reed, Charlotte knows that she will never be the same, he is nothing like what she has dreamed him to be in her head.

Fate has a way of stepping in when things need to be done.  When Charlotte is thrown into Reed's world, will she be able to stand the arrogant ass he showed himself to be?  Or will Reed be able to let his guard down and show her who he truly is?

I finished this book a few days again and it is still with me.  I am questioning what exactly did I read.....can the ending be the truth.....or was it all really a lie to cover up the truth?  This book was not your typical Colleen Hoover, it is not all hearts, flowers and tears, well I did cry so guess it did have the tears.  But WOW!!! This story was a page turner from the very beginning.  I was unable to put it down until the last page was turned.  I had to knew what was happening.  Then when the truth was revealed, I again was questioning myself.....what is the truth?  Yet there was love so much love and so much heartache.  I think this maybe my favorite book from her so far.

The Cowboy (The King Family #4) by Author Molly O'Keefe

4 star

This book was read with KU-kindle unlimited free.

This is book 4 in the King Family series.  It was a great end to the series and honestly who does not love a cowboy?  I know I do!!  Each book is a standalone but there is enough back story to know the characters.

Bea King was that one character that I was not sure about from the beginning of the series.  But she was just more complicated than her sister.  Bea is just that, she is one that does nice things for people but does not want any thanks.  She is living in a tiny apartment above her job with her two dogs.  Bea has more money than she could ever use yet, she would rather work as a bartender than spend the King money.  She is not looking for love but when it catches part of her, she feels this pull that she can not deny.

Cody is down on his luck.  He is trying to live day by day yet when he catches a glimpse of Bea one morning through the trees, she is everything that he wants and needs.  And not knowing who she is is even better.  She can be anything he wants.  Cody feels like he is not what any woman would want.  But there is something about this woman that makes 

Cody want more.  

Bea and Cody are in this sort of strange relationship.  They have their mornings with each other but can you fall in love with someone without truly seeing them?  

This was a great ending to the King Family series.  I was wanting more pages to turn when I reach the end.  But found a couple new authors to stalk and read now along with an old favorite Molly O'Keefe.  

The Bastard (The King Family #3) by Author Julie Kriss

4.5 stars

This book was read with KU-kindle unlimited free.

This is book 3 in the King Family series.  Each book is a stand alone. 

This was my favorite one in the series.  I was so intrigued by the lone King brother, Dylan.  He is mentioned throughout the first two books and we get bits and pieces of him but to finally get his story was perfect.  

Dylan King never wanted anything to do with his father.  But a couple summers spent on the King estate as teen spending it with his little sisters, still formed a bond between them.  Even the death of their father does not bring the estranged big brother back to town but when one of his sisters in true danger, that protective SEAL instinct kicks in.  Dylan will destroy anything in his path to help his sister.

Madison White is the "anything" that stands in Dylan's way to his sister.  But Sabrina is safe.  Madison will let him know then use her skills at dealing with dominate men to show Dylan what he should do for his family.  But does she have other motivates for what she suggests?  Or is the instant attraction and need to submit to Dylan to much to deny?  

This was a power struggle story but in the end the heart wants what the heart wants no matter the cost.  Giving everything up maybe just what Madison and Dylan needed.  

The Bodyguard (The King Family #2) by Author S. Doyle

4 stars

This book was read with KU-kindle unlimited free.

This is the second book in the King Family series.  You can read this one without having read The Tycoon, book 1.  There is enough backstory to know each character.

Sabrina has been living it up since she left home in Hollywood as the Cowboy Princess.  But underneath all that glitter and glam is just Sabrina.  She just wants to be a normal girl but when a stalker starts to get to close, she retreats back home to the King estate to hide out.  But this stalker is not going to give up that easily.  

Garrett was Sabrina's crust all during school.  Garrett treated her better than most back in the day.  Standing up for her but when years pass and how Sabrina needs help, Garrett volunteers to protect her.  Why not, he is the Sheriff after all.  But being so close to the Cowboy Princess maybe more than Garrett can handle.  

Can the sweet girl from his past be just what he is looking for?  Or will Garrett never believe in love again after having his heart broken? And can Sabrina keep her high school crush in the past?  Or will the older Sabrina still want things that seem out of her reach? 

Enjoyed every page of this book and again could not wait to start the next book.  On to The Cowboy.  

The Tycoon (The King Family #1) by Author Molly O'Keefe

4 stars

Welcome to the King Family series.  There are 4 books in this series and each can be read alone.  There are also additional authors for books 2 and 3; which is a first for me.  But I have been a fan of Molly O'Keefe for awhile and was thrilled to grab this book from KU-kindle unlimited for free.  Although I would have bought it.  

Veronica thought she had it all.  She was married the man of her dreams.  Clayton was everything that Veronica wanted.  Yet an overheard conversation between Clayton and her father causes her dreams to turn into nightmare.  Veronica does what any broken hearted chick does, she gets the hell out of town and never looks backs.  

After several years away from the King family homestead, Veronica is summons back.  Her father is dead.  She must be the strong one for her two sisters.  But going back brings so many memories back to the surface that she must face them head on.  And that includes putting Clayton in his place.  

Clayton has been buying his time.  He has everything in place for when Veronica returns to him.  And she will be his again completely this time.  He is determined to show her exactly how he feels even with all the heart break, she is still his and only his. 

As Veronica and Clayton try to navigate between this strange attraction that they still have for each other, they must learn to trust in what their hearts are feelings.  Will they be able to find peace and happiness that they missed out on being apart?

This was an easy read for me and I thoroughly enjoyed each page.  I could not wait to devour the rest of the series.  As I did read the other 3 books in the next 3 days of finishing The Tycoon.  I would recommend this series.  

A Need So Insatiable (Book 1, Hearts Series) by Author Cecelia Robert

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for an honest review.

2 stars

DNF  I made it half way through and had to stop.   There was just so much going on, it was hard to keep up with.  It felt like there were several stories going on with this one.  I think had the author taken all these stories and concentrated on just one story and feelers for the other stories, it would have been a great book.  I enjoyed the blurb and could not wait to dive into this book.  I am sure I will grab another book by the author just to see if it was just this book that was not my cup of tea.  

The One (Book 1, The Only One Series) by Author Belle Ami

1 Star

DNF 

I usually am able to continue reading a book even when I do not enjoy it.  But this was not the case.  I just could not get into the story.  It jumped all over the place.  There seems to be no rhyme or rhythm to the story.  The blurb to the book sounded amazing and I do believe the book would be if it was plotted out with a timeline and stuck to it.  

Risky Play (Book 1 in Red Card Series) by Author Rachel Van Dyken

4 stars

I absolutely enjoyed this book and a great start to Author Rachel Van Dyken's new series Red Card.  We venture into the sports field with this one.  I did not know alot about soccer but think I do now.

Mackenzie thought she had it all; great job, supportive family and a loving fiance until she is left at the alter on her wedding day.  She can not seem to understand how he could do such a thing to her.  But after trying to get on with her life, she knows she just needs to get away for a few days to find herself again.  

Slade is that guy, the star athlete that has becomes famous in his sport, supportive family and any chick he wants.  But once in awhile you just want to be you.  Not all of the labels that are placed on you.  So a much needed vacation is exactly what Slade needs.

A chance encounter between Mackenzie and Slade will turn their worlds upside down if only for the weekend.  When faced with the chance of death, you take the chance.  You face death head on.  Both Mackenzie and Slade will be forced to face demons once they return to their lives but life has a way of coming full circle.

The banner between Slade and Mackenzie had me laughing out loud at how easily their relationship was.  They were meant for each other.  But can they both put the past behind them and move forward together?

Tossed Into Love (Book 3 in the Fluke My Life Series) by Author Aurora Rose Reynolds

4 stars

Super sweet read and love all of ARR books.   I am looking forward to more from her.  

Aligned (Volumes 1-4) by Author Ella Miles

4 stars

Let me start by saying that I was unsure what I had stumbled upon; Volume 1 was free on amazon so I figured why not, it sounded intriguing.  Well after consuming Volume 1 in one sitting, I had to go ahead and buy the rest of the volumes in this pretty little packaged deal for a great price.  Needless to say, I devoured Volumes 2, 3 and 4 all night and early into the morning.  I think I had maybe 2 hours of sleep before it was time to get the kids ready for school. 

I would recommend this book to my friends and readers.  It seemed to have it all.  Suspense, drama, love and heartbreak.  I liked the characters.  I liked the way Author Ella Miles was able to bring them all together.  The banner between Alexa and Landon keep me on my toes to see what they would say to each other next.  Then throw some past into the mix and life for Alexa and Landon gets very tricky.  I continued to turn pages, I had to see what they would do next and if the past would become the future for Alexa and Landon?  Leaving them both heartbroken.  

Help Wanted (An on the Job Romance #1) by Author Allison B. Hanson

3 stars

This was a quick read for me.  If you are looking for a cute romance, this would be one to check out.  There are actually two romance stories in this book: but the main one is between Zane and Kenley.  

Zane is a successful business man but not good in the relationship department.  But when Kenley comes into his office for a job, his world is going to be turned upside.  Kenley recently unemployed needs this job.  She knows she can do the job but Zane seems to not want to hire her from just one look.  But he gives in and hires her.  

As their work relationship progress, Kenley finds ways to streamline the business but Zane is against them all at first.  He has a hardtime keeping her in the employee part of his mind.  She is what he has always dreamed of.  But can Zane put the past behind him and truly see Kenley for who she is?  Or will he continue to belittle her causing him to lose the best thing in his personal and professional life?

Wrecked by Author JB Salsbury

4 Star

Oh where to start.....I had heard lots of good things about Author JB Salsbury and her writing and after reading this, I can not wait to dive into more of her books.  

Wrecked was a story of over coming your past and facing your fears.  We get to see the characters in the book evolve into their true selves.  I enjoyed the banner between Sawyer and Aden.  The chemistry that was jumping off the pages was incredible.  And watching each of them learn about love and lost was very touching.  As they learn to handle the pull between them, they must both face fears of their own before they can move on.  Sometimes live has a way of showing you the right path even when it looks like it is a dead end.  

I would recommend this book to any of my reader friends.  It has it all.  Mystery.  Loss.  Learning to over come your past.  Facing your future.  And how deeply you would do anything for the ones that you love.  

Power & Possession (Reckless Book #1) by Author CC Gibbs

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

2 stars

This book just was not my cup of tea.  I could not connect with the characters or the storyline.  There was just too much of everything going on.  And the characters were just not likeable to me.

Rafe Contini was simple a wealthy asshole.  His treatment toward women was awful.  Of course being so wealthy I guess you can have your pick of ladies and throw them out after getting off.  Besides his looks and his monster dick, he was just not likeable at all.  His demands that he be in control was just over the top.  Especially when his women would just throw themselves at whatever he wanted yet he can not get enough of the spirited Nicole Parrish.

Nicole Parrish young college student on holiday with the rich and famous ends up at one of Rafe's parties.  Of course one look and Rafe is hooked.  Nicole was out for a good time and after hearing rumors of Rafe, she has no doubt he will deliver an amazing performance for the night.  But can you have instalove?  

Their banner back and forth had me skipping over it.  It was just too much.  Do this. No I will not.  Yes you will.  On and on.  Yet they both seemed to want to be in control.   Then the storyline has a twist and just too much going on.  

I will pickup another one of her books in the future to see if it was just this series that I had a hardtime getting into.  

Perfectly Lonely (Let Me In, Book 2) by Author Jessica Marin

4 stars

This is book 2 in the Let Me In series by Author Jessica Marin but you do not need to have read book 1 to know what is happening in the story.  Author Jessica Marin is able to provide enough back story that you will not be lost.  Although I would recommend that you download book 1 and enjoy this new author's stories.  I am looking forward to book 3 in this series.  And future books by the author.

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

3.5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Starstruck series by Author Becky Wicks.  You do not need to have read the first two book to read this one.  There are characters from the other books but the author's writing allows you to still understand the story.

Branded by Author Candace Havens

4 stars

Ohhhh where to start but with this hot as sin cover that has me fanning myself thinking about Cole.  He was not only dirty sexy but also brainy.  He was like the complete guy once you were able to break through his tough man exterior which is exactly what Callie does. 

Callie is a spoiled rich girl that knows the value of putting in a hard days work on the ranch but she has no time for romance or love, she has to get through college so that she can take over her family business.  But there are couple of problems along the way.  One being this attraction to ranch hand, Cole.

Cole knows what is to give it all up for family; which is exactly what he is doing this summer.  He is putting his family first.  He can not risk losing it all over a hot chick especially his bosses granddaughter.  But the way Cole feels from being around Callie or even just looking at her.  He knows he is in for a long hard summer.  

As Callie and Cole figure out how to handle this attraction that they have for each other, they become friends and learn there is so much more to each other that just the chemistry they share.  Will they be able to survive a summer of being so close but not touching?  Or will they give in to the lust and deal with the ramifications after?  

Country Heaven (Dare River Book 1) by Author Ava Miles

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

4 cowboy hats

This is my first book by Author Ava Miles but will not be my last.  I think I devoured this book once I started it a couple days ago.  I had to see how things played out for Tory and Rye.  The way of writing by the author keep me turning the pages and staying up til after 2 am to finish.  I have already downloaded The Chocolate Garden, book 2 in this series.  I was intrigued to see who is to blame for Rye's life being turned upside down.  

Tory Simmons is just the girl next door who has done the right thing by her family.  She has been the one to take care of them.  But when she finds herself alone, she still continues to do what is right: working and paying the bills for her family.  She has a passion for cooking that she shared with her Grandma, without her, Tory would not be the person she is today.  So when an opportunity of helping her family is placed on her table, she does what any good girl does, she takes it not matter the cost to her heart.

Rye Crenshaw has it all or so it seems from the persona he shows the world.  But he has secrets that need to stay out of the spot light.  He is careful about his personal life and the people that he trust is just a handful.  One bite of Tory's cooking and he is hooked.  He will do anything to get her to be his personal chef.  He maybe a famous country singer but food speaks to his soul like it does Tory's.  

Tory and Rye have to learn how to keep their lives professional, he is her boss after all.  But when Rye's past becomes part of his future, he will turn to Tory for the support that he needs even after having only know her a short time.  Life has a funny way of bringing people to you in your time of need.  As Rye's professional and personal life collide, will Tory be able to hang on from the backlash or will she leave Rye standing alone to pickup the pieces?  

You Again (You Again #1) by Author Ashlee Mallory

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

3 stars

This was my first read by Author Ashlee Mallory and the first in her You Again series.  The underlying story lines were little to far fetched for me.  But the way the story was written was nice.  I enjoyed the build up of the mystery that had to be solved.  The other issue I had was the cover of the book really did not go with the story of the book. 

We meet Allie McBride, school teacher, but with a very religious family, yet she does not seem to practice their faith.  She was always the shy girl in high school with a crush on the hot guy.  But when Sam Fratto returns to town not only does he turn Allie's world upside down personal but also professionally.  He is going to be teaching in the classroom next to hers.  

As events seem to turn them toward each other for support, then to try to solve a murder, they learn things about each other that only makes the past become more present.  Will Allie and Sam be able to solve the mystery or will the murderer get away with it?  

Perfectly Inappropriate by Author Stacey Kennedy

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

4 stars

This is the first book that I have read and reviewed for Author Stacey Kennedy and I have been asking myself  "Why"???  I need to go back and read more by her.  

I completely enjoyed the way the story flowed.  I liked the character development and their relationship.  The only thing I did not like was reading the last page and wanting more.  I wanted more of Olivia and Noah.  

Olivia Watts just the girl next door with such a big heart.  Everyone can see how much she loves just from meeting her.  Of course being so loving can cost you your own heartbreak.  But the best way to heal a broken heart is to get back out there.  Find someone that makes you feel whole again even if its just a fantasy.

Enter Noah Grant.  Strong demanding handsome devil.  Or maybe he is an angel in disguise.  Noah is just what Olivia needs and when they agree to just a week of hot sex and fun.  What is there to lose?  

Sometimes fate has a funny way of putting you in the right place at the right time.  Can you find love in a week?  Noah does not think so but Olivia may just be the game changer for him.  

Lawbreaker (Unbreakable #3) by Author Kat Bastion

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

4.5 stars

I do believe this is my favorite book that I have read this year.  It had passion, suspense, heartbreak, mystery and love.  The story flowed perfectly.  I could not put this book down and ended up finishing it at 2:54 am this morning.  It was a page turner for sure.

This is book 3 in the Unbreakable series by Author Kat Bastion.  You do not need to have read the first 2 book in the series to know the characters in this book.  I have not read the first two book in the series but plan to go back and do so.  Author Kat Bastion is on my radar for more of her books to read.  

Shay and Ben.  What can I say.  Shay and Ben.  Their banner back and forth made the book.  Shay with her no taking crap attitude from anyone, knows how to survive.  She has learn the hard way but it prepared her for the day that she would meet Ben.  Oh Ben.  What can I say, he made my heart beat a little faster at his handsomeness and witty charm.  He also made Shay's heart beat a little faster too.  Of course she had to fight how she was feeling as life has a way of being cruel.  But Shay will have to learn to face her past to see her future.  

Every Time I Fall (The Raeven Sisters Book 2) by Author Anna Karington

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for a honest review.

2 stars

This is the second book in the Raeven Sisters series and also my second book by the author. I thought I was going to enjoy this book as I was intrigued by the baby sister, Janet.  But as I read, I found that the main character, Hayden Lancaster, who was Janet's love interest was just awful.  I can understand having old girlfriends from the past make an appearance but not when every other female in the book was one of Hayden's exes.  Although most were not even his girlfriend but just weekend lovers.  Yet he keep them around him.  He employed them at his office.  I just could not get into his story of falling in love and wanting to be with Janet.

Every Time He Leaves (The Raeven Sisters Book 1) by Author Anna Karington

 2.5 stars

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for an honest review.

This was the debut book for Author Anna Karington, it was written nicely but the story just did not hold my attention like I wanted.  I found myself scanning over parts of the story especially the love/sex scenes between Lana and Jarek.  These scenes were just too long and detailed for my liking.  And having to grab lube every time just seemed strange to me. 

I had a hard time connecting with the characters.  After so many years apart, Lana and Jarek did not seem to know how to communicate with each other even though they were now adults and no longer the teens.  The one character that intrigued me was Janet.  Lana's baby sister.  I have also been given a copy of book 2 in this series which is Janet's book.  Let see if Author Anna Karington woes me in that one.  

Kiss the Girl (Naughty Princess Club series) Book 3 by Author Tara Sivec

4 stars

A copy of this book was provided via NetGalley for an honest review. 

This was the 3rd installment in the Naughty Princess Club series. It was super cute, full of laughs and of course hotness from both Ariel and Eric.  We finally get to see what has been keeping Ariel back from joining the girls in their business adventures.  But once this is out in the open, there is no holding Ariel back.  As usual Tara Sivec delivers another fun filled book that had me turning the pages until the last page then wanting more.  

Heartbreak Warfare (Let Me In #1) by Author Jessica Marin

Heartbreak Warfare (Let Me In Book #1)

Author Jessica Marin

4 stars

What an incredible debut book for Author Jessica Marin.  Her writing style flowed well.  The characters were likeable and the emotion that they feel will have you turning the pages to see how to all plays out.  A true story of love, forgiveness and learning to trust again.  I can not wait to read more from Jessica.  PS Loved loved  Sean and think everyone needs one of him in their lives.

Jenna thought she had it all until her marriage crumbled.  But she found strength in not letting it defeat her; she found what she needed in her event planning business, making a name for herself.  Although she seem to have it all, sometimes being alone gets the better of you, so why not live in the moment. 

Cal seems to have it all; staring roles in the best movies, a close group of friends and any chick he could want.  But a chance encounter with Jenna shows him that he would do anything to have her.  Will she give into his charming way for just a week in Vegas?  After all what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas right?

Life has a way of giving you exactly what you need.  Will Jenna and Cal be able to see what is staring them in the face?

I completely loved this book.  I had the biggest crush on Stone, that’s Jason Stone, the quarterback for the Dallas Wranglers. 

Jason Stone is the hottest quarterback and exactly what the Dallas Wranglers need to win the season and a spot at Super Bowl.  Stone knows the game and can get them the wins.  As to women, he can have any pick of who he wants any night of the week.  But a chance encounter with this mystery girl and a night of passion cause his mind to be consumed with her when he should be thinking about plays and moves on the field.  He can not let 1 girl distract his chance at getting another Super Bowl ring.

Savannah Andrews knows her way around a football field better than most guys.  It is in her blood.  Her father is the owner of the Dallas Wranglers.  So she stays clear of any football player; she has learn they tried to use her to get to her father.  But she is on to their game.  She has worked hard to get her position with the team and it has nothing to do with her last name being “Andrews”.  But when Savannah meets Stone out at the club one night and realizes he has no idea who she is; can she give in to a night of pleasure?  She knows the chances of them running into each other will happen but she can not seem to stop the pull to give in for just one night.

Stone and Savannah have to learn to work together but after seeing each other naked, can they just be friends at best?  Or will the one night they spent together want them to relive more nights? 

I am a major fan of Nicole Edwards.  Her way of writing will draw you into the story until the very last page then you will be craving more pages; only to have to wait for the next release date.  Can not wait to see what she has in store for my future reads.
