Until April by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

April Mayson fell in love once only to have the man who held her heart, shatter it as well. April moved on focusing on her business as a realtor, but when she is contacted by Maxim Kauwe she can’t help but remember a fleeting moment with him when she was a teenager. Now though Maxim wants a house in Tennessee to be close to his sister. However, Maxim intends to have April as well. When danger is surrounding April though Maxim’s protective impulse goes full throttle and the beginning of them begins.

Loved this and was surprised at how Maxim came into the story. He is pure alpha male and I was a bit surprised by April’s back story. Pure fun all around.

Review: Shakedown by Lani Lynn Vale

Shakedown by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Belle Pena is a matter of fact outspoken woman, which is one of the reasons why her dates seem to fail at a tremendous rate. A dating app has her rejecting one man who if she went on her instincts she would have accepted the date, instead she rejects it. However, fate has other plans in mind as she ends up stood up with her newest date and sees the man she rejected anyway.

Bruno can’t stop looking at Belle, but he has enough swirling around him to act on it. Bruno is a bit of a loner but when he ends up hurt it is Belle who is by his side. Bruno and Belle are thrown together and there is no sense denying the attraction between them. That being said can they remain safe enough to see where it goes?

There are so many surprises that happen in this book I didn’t want to delve to far in. Loved Belle, she has intrigued me for awhile and she is everything I hoped and more. Bruno is a terrific character who makes a lot of sacrifices for those he cares about. Terrific.

Review: Charlotte by Lisa Helen Gray

Charlotte by Lisa Helen Gray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlotte has always wanted one thing, a happily ever after and when she meets someone she knows she is settling but as he gets aggressively worse and she finds out the truth about him she is devastated. Meeting Drew is a surprise and she quickly finds herself making a friend she never expected. She is healing but something about him has Charlotte wondering if she deserves a second chance at love.

This was amazing, a definite tearjerker. I wanted Charlottes book for awhile as she seemed the most vulnerable in some of the other books that I was curious to see where her story would take her. I was not disappointed and I loved Drew, he is perfect for her. Love the antics of the other Carters. Terrific series.

Luke by Cee Bowerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke returned home to be embraced by his brothers in the Texas Kings MC, as well as going into business owning a gym with his brother. He knows his past has damaged him and he still has PTSD he is dealing with, knowing this he knows he will never settle down with a woman. That all changes when Liberty Merida enters his gym, it is a meeting he will never forget and not in a good way. He wants Liberty, but she is young and he is not the right man for her. However Liberty sees it differently and friends quickly become lovers. Now he sees a future with the woman he loves but what happens when others around them seem to doubt what they have?

This was a surprise and had a plot twist I did not see coming and as a fan of all of this authors book I have to say it brought a realism to the story which I could easily see happen. Liberty is terrific, I have been a fan of hers since she was introduced. Luke is a gentle giant and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him fall for Liberty. Fantastic story.

Amazing, should have picked this up so much sooner. I thought this was wonderful, loved the characters and the way the story had me guessing how the story would unfold. The one terrific thing about this authors books is they are always different and filled with characters who are unique. Terrific.

Review: Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black

Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jasper knows he is demanding, the high turnover in his kitchen proves that but he wants perfection with every burger he serves. When he finds out that his former nemesis, Lyndee from college, is setting up a bakery across the street he is not pleased. He believes she is there to create havoc, he couldn’t be more wrong. Jasper can’t seem to stay away from Lyndee and the more he gets to know her the more he wants to sleep with her, but Jasper is not a relationship type of guy but could he be with Lyndee?

This was great, very different then the first book in the series. I thought this was a lot of fun and Jasper spends a lot of time in his head, he is driven but when he decides to take a chance with Lyndee you see a completely different side. Wonderful story.
