Doc by C.M. Steele
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The minute biker and Doctor, Joseph “Doc” Simmons sees Sophia he knows she is meant to be his. However, she is young and danger has been swirling around his club and he wants her safe. His intention is to give her sometime and make everything safe, but weeks turn into months and Doc finds Sophia’s patience has run thin.

I liked this but I was surprised by Doc. I expected him to be more alpha male and he was a little him ha at times. Good series, look forward to the next book.

Review: Whiskey & Mistletoe by Aria Cole

Whiskey & Mistletoe by Aria Cole
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Owen Brewer never forgot about his one and only love Misty Armstrong, to this day he is still upset that she left without a word.

Misty didn’t have a choice when her family packed up unannounced and left town. Now Misty is with her younger and sister and life has not been great. With a little help from an old friend, Misty and Owen are thrown together again. Can Owen give Misty a second chance and is Misty willing to go all in where Own is concerned?

A quick holiday story. I thought this was fun and Owen was an interesting character. He was pretty closed off but once he hardened heart melts you see a completely different side. Cute story.

Review: Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris

Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wanted to like this book but I found that I just could not find a character I liked. I thought this would be similar to Chocolat but it was a tale about a woman raised by her mother who basically went out of her way to torment one another. There was a lot of cruelty and I just could not find myself wanting more from any of the characters. Didn’t sit right with me.

Review: Without Exception by K.E. Osborn

Without Exception by K.E. Osborn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Tomi can’t lose her Hope & Faith Ink tattoo shop, she is doing the best she can but Alex Scott is trying to evict her so he can develop a new building. Hope & Faith is everything to her next to her little brother who she takes care of, it is the only thing left of her family that she can hold on to. She plans to fight Alex tooth and nail but when her non to frequent client Xander shows up he distracts her. Xander has been coming to Hope & Faith for two years and never once asked her out, until now. What happens when she gets close to Xander but finds out he wasn’t quite truthful about who he was?

This was good, a lot of angst though. Tomi has an attitude and it took a bit to soften to her because she had such a chip on her shoulder. I don’t want to divulge too much about the Alex Xander angle., quite interesting. Good story.

Review: Baby Makes Three by Nicole Elliot

Baby Makes Three by Nicole Elliot
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Joanna knows she needs to leave her boyfriend as his abuse is getting worse. She reaches out to her brother for help and to get back on her feet. When her brother offers her a job she accepts and runs in to her childhood crush Anderson who also works there.

Anderson cant believe Joanna is all grown up and the irritating kid is long gone. Anderson has never been a man for relationships but something about Joanna has him wanting to see where they will lead, however they are keeping their relationship a secret and when her ex shows up and puts her in danger Anderson vows to protect her.

Parts of this I really liked but Joanna at times came off as really immature. I think she wanted her independence but at the same time she made decisions that baffled me a bit.

Review: Beary Sassy: That Old Black Magic by Vonnie Davis

Beary Sassy: That Old Black Magic by Vonnie Davis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kiera Matheson should have let her bear find it’s true mate but thought she knew better trying to find love which led her astray and having to leave Scotland and move to Stillwater, California. She immediately meets cop Mateo Savage and something about him makes her bristle. Her bear on the other hand wants to cuddle up and give in to her basic needs.

Mateo knows Kiera is hiding something and it is driving him nuts. He wants her but is unwilling to go there. Fate plays its hand but it doesn’t keep Kiera safe from danger. Can Mateo keep her safe?

I liked aspects of this one but didn’t get why Kiera was so mean to Mateo, she kind of goes off the rails at times. Liked the town of Stillwater and the quirky characters. Would try more in this series.

Taylor(Tail) Adams is a hit it once type of man. He knows he is judged by the locals an being a biker and unsavory but they couldn’t be farther from the truth. Tail is a good guy and when his friend asks him to be in his wedding he steps up. Taylor doesn’t expect to run into Lauren Macey who he went to school with and finds himself enchanted. One night they are together but Lauren is not a one night stand type of girl. When she moves back though Taylor wants to pick up where they left off, but Lauren doesn’t want to be a booty call. Taylor cant stay away though and quickly realizes he wants Lauren by his side.

I liked this a lot but the end was rushed and it did have one thing that just didn’t make sense to me with Lauren. I liked Taylor, he is a charmer for sure. Overall entertaining but end was rushed.

Review: Kat’s Hunter by Stacy Barnett

Kat’s Hunter: The Fallen Angel’s Mc 3 by The Fallen Angel’s Mc 3 Stacy Barnett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kat wants to return back to the man who stole her heart. She is the enforcer and daughter to the President of the Devils Soldiers MC. When her father gives his blessing she heads to Hunter who is part of the Fallen Angels MC and begins her life. However she has a package in tow that needs protection and brings danger to their door.

I liked most of this but I dont like the “daddy’ talk, it just doesn’t work for me. I think if it wasn’t so tied into her dad in the beginning I probably would not have honed in on it as much. Fun biker story though.
