The Holiday Sweet Spot By Sophia Knightly left me craving lots of chocolate! The food that was described in this book just made your mouth water! I wanted to jump in and taste a bite or three!

Review: For the Love of Thomas Amore By Charles H. Roberts III

For the Love of Thomas Amore by Charles H. Roberts III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Charles H. Roberts 111 for providing me with this book at Buffalo Erie County Library Indie Author Day Event so that I may bring this review to you.

For the Love of Thomas Amore by Buffalo, NY native Charles H. Roberts 111 took me by surprise. When I originally was going to read I was under the impression it was strictly a romance book. However, it was way more in-depth than that. Charles takes you on a journey and make you think about life and love.

Review: For You I Fall By T.N. Nova and Colette Davision

For You I Fall by T.N. Nova
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank T.N. Nova and Colette Davison for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

For You I Fall (Angels and Misfits Book 1) by T.N. Nova and Colette Davison really took me by surprise on how much I enjoyed it. The reason I say it surprised me is that I am not a huge fan of paranormal persay. I knew there would be an aspect of this to the story. Knowing that I enjoy reading MM Romance Novels I decided to take a chance. I am glad that I did. The aspect of paranormal and romance was a very sweet story of Seth being human and Dante being his protector angel. Plus there was a hint of mystery to it as well. So, basically something for everyone.

Review: Date and Dash By Susan Hatler

Date and Dash by Susan Hatler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I would like to thank NetGalley, Susan Halter and Hatco Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Date and Dash by Susan Halter pulled on my heart strings, made me tear up at times, and even made me laugh. There were some valuable life lessons thrown into the book as well.

I absolutely loved the relationship that Grammy and Mary Ann shared growing up. I loved how sentimental Grammy’s bracelet was to her. It touched me to what great lengths she would go to protect her Grammy’s memory.

Trevor was my favorite character in Date and Dash. He had a heart of gold, was selfless, patient, kind, attractive, and most of all saw past all of Mary Ann’s flaws.

I would highly suggest this book.

Review: The Day The Music Died: An Emyln Goode Mystery By Susan Lynn Solomon

The Day the Music Died: An Emlyn Goode Mystery by Susan Lynn Solomon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Susan Lynn Solomon for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

There were many aspects of The Day The Music Died An Emlyn Goode Mystery by Susan Lynn Solomon that I really enjoyed. First off the cover first attracted me to the book. The wording is done in a very unique font that is blood red! I loved the guitar, the hand holding the gun pointing to the guitar, and the adorable little kitty at the end. This cover totally caught my eye so much so I wanted to know what the book was about. Kudos to the graphic artist. Sometimes for me it is the cover that catches my eye. When I read the synopsis on the back I knew I had to read it.

First, I would like to thank Sophia Knightly for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

I absolutely loved the dedication of the book! "For all the believers in Christmas miracles and the magic of romance." Plus, the real Mr. Woods that enjoyed many hours of dancing with Grandma Emmy.

First, I would like to thank Annie Walker for a providing me with this book so I could bring you this review.

Pointe of Passion by Annalie Walker is the first book in her series Dancing Desires. Rhythm and Rapture is the second book in the series. I plan on reading that one as well.

“What could be more important than spending time with me?” Wow, the prologue clutched my heart. No child at that age should hear their parents fighting period. I just wanted to hold her and tell her it would be ok.

Review: Poor Little Daddy's Girl By Normandi Alleman

Poor Little Daddy's Girl by Normandie Alleman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thank you to NH Kuhn and Normandie Alleman for providing with an advanced copy of this book so I could bring you this review. Poor Little Daddies Girl by Normandine Alleman had me cracking up laughing at some of Charmaine’s and Hunter’s dialog. Who says, “Who peed in your Cheerio’s?” My favorite line was “You know you’re about as much fun as a colonoscopy with no drugs.” Charmaine is your typical wealthy, spoiled brat who gets into trouble and is only famous to be famous. She is lonely, on a destructive path, and dates all the wrong men for her. That is until Hunter a hunky firefighter rescues her from her apartment fire. The apartment is not the only thing that sparks a flame! I love how Normadie describes all the naughty scenes between the two characters. As they say firefighters find them hott and leave them wet! That is exactly what these two characters did! Poor Little Daddies Girl by Normadie Alleman gets 4 out of 5 hot steamy kisses from me.

Review: Someone I Used To Know By David Bell

Somebody I Used to Know by David Bell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I would like to thank NetGalley, David Bell, and Penguin Group for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

David Bell does an amazing job grasping the reader’s full attention from the first page to this fantastically written mystery novel. There were so many twist, turns, and draw dropping speechless moments that I was on the edge of my seat for.

I loved the beginning of the book when Nick is at the grocery store and he thinks he sees his long lost late college sweetheart Marissa at the grocery store. We have all done that seen someone’s doppelganger. This was an odd coincidence that he would run into someone that looked exactly like her 20 years later. Odd thing is she seemed scared of him.

Review: Twisted by Andrew E. Kaufman

Twisted by Andrew E. Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First I would like to thank NetGalley, Andrew E. Kaufman, and Amazon Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

WOW!! Twisted grasped my attention and just kept pulling me in! This book was full of suspense, car accidents, mass child killings, mysterious suspect, missing people, suicides, and so many twists and turns.

I was in total shock at the car accident scene. Then my heart totally went out to his wife Jenna!! Who wants to get a call from their husband that they have just been in a terrible accident! I was shocked and dumfounded that he drove himself home after the whole ordeal.

My heart melted during the Daddy and Son moments. Devin was a cute and sweet little boy. You could tell how much he loved his Daddy.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

First I would like to thank NetGalley, Tom Malterre, Alissa Segersten, and Grand Central Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this honest review.

The Elimination Diet is not your average diet. This is not about calories, fats, carbs or portion control. It is not about depriving yourself of your favorite foods or punishing yourself. It is about creating new awareness how foods you eat make you feel.

Review: Ever After By Cara Wade

Ever After by Cara Wade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Cara Wade for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

Cara Wade went out of her comfort zone in Ever After and boy did it pay off! Out of the many I have read for her this was my favorite. It was different, unique, sexy, had an incredible mystery story line to it as well.

Warning: this book has triggers of rape, kidnapping, sex trafficking. If this bothers you or offends you then I don’t suggest you read it.

I had to laugh when Cara mentions this book is for her. For being brave enough to write something completely different than she is used to.

Review: The Boy in the Barn By Ciana Stone

The Boy in the Barn by Ciana Stone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Ciana Stone for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Dang!! Boy in the Barn was the darkest books that Ciana Stone has ever written. I have been a huge fan of hers and knows that she writes in multiple genres (one reason she is one of my favorite authors). However, this one is unlike any of the other ones she has written before. I a very extremely open-minded reader but there were times when she shocked the heck out of me! I had to make sure this was a Ciana book. Yup, no hot cowboys in this one lol!

This book contains triggers so please keep this in mind when deciding to read Ciana’s book. The Boy in the Barn contains physical and sexual abuse, of torture and murder. It also deals with child abuse and sex trafficking. This book is not for the faint of heart.

From the first few pages I was totally shocked out of my mind. Then I thought oh how I wish this could have happened to one of my exes! But wow that must have hurt!!

There was one scene that was very prudish even for Ciana that I had to laugh like crazy! I can’t give it away! Let’s just say it involved anal sex.

I will admit I was not a fan of the cult or what happened in the cult. Some of the scenes were extremely graphic and my heart went out to those who were affected by it. I would definitely read from Ciana if she continues this path-but some scenes were little too much.

What I did love was the amazing love story in this book. Yes, she found away to get a love story in here.

If you have read her books in the past you know that she loves the Navy Seals. There is a storyline about this as well.
