On The Way To a Wedding by Suzanne Stengl

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

On The Way to a Wedding Something Old, Something New Book 2 by Susan Stengl can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. I read it as a standalone and was able to follow the storyline. It was a very entertaining book. You had two couples who were totally wrong for eachother. A parent who was very controlling, who wouldn’t listen, and didn’t care what her daughter truly wanted. Then there is a saying everything happens for a reason. In the beginning of the book we meet Tori whom just got into a car accident. Luckily Ryder Is there to help her out.

In this story the Mother rubbed me the wrong way badly. She was only focused on her wants and needs financially and not what was best for her daughter. Meanwhile, this put a huge strain on their relationship. I wanted to go into the book and defend Tori and speak up for her. Her Mom made me so upset!

This book has a twist at the end that nobody saw coming-not even me!

Yes, Mr. Mitchell by Luxx Monroe

First, I have to thank Luxx Monroe for providing me with this book so that I may give you this review.

I have found my new fave author and new fave book of 2016!!! Luxx Monore Yes, Mr. Mitchell blew me away! Of course I knew it was going to have a taboo theme to it. However, what it gave you was so much more than just mind blowing sex!!! It had an amazing storyline with a lot of twists and curves to it. Not only that but I had no clue until the very ending of the book that this is a series! Yes!! Luxx left us with an amazing cliffhanger!! So folks this is part of a series!!! Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the second book!!

I am in LOVE with Nikki’s character!! She is so sweet and innocent and a virgin!! Little does she know whom she lost her virginity too! OMG the hott scenes that 18 year old freshman in college has!! Oh and Gallen Mitchell-DAM!! I wish he were my teacher back in the day!! Those two steamed up my kindle!!!

The detail that Luxx put into describing every scene in this book was incredible! The characters were relatable! The scenes were hott and steamy!! The twists and turns at the end of the book you never saw coming. I didn’t want the book to end!

Love's First Fall by Juie Sanford

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

WOW! I think I may have found a new fave author to follow!!! Love’s First Fall by Julie Sanford totally blew my mind with this book from the very beginning of this book. From the taboo subject material that my eyes were glued to I was intrigued to read more into the story. Sure, there were incredible sexy moments in the book. However, there were amazing stories within the story. Stories about an unconventional true love that was only a once in a lifetime kind of love. Many people might have not been as of accepting of their relationship but they loved each other. The heart wants what it wants.

The characters in the book were fascinating! Especially Christopher, 00Ben/Belle, and Elizabeth. I loved the dynamic those three had. I was not a fan of Eric! Julie really has a knack for creating her characters and telling a unique story that nobody in their wildest dreams would think up. This is what drew me into the story. Not to the sex and the taboo-but that it was a so original and so different. Kudos Lisa.

Love’s First may not be for everyone. It would be a good read for someone with a very open mind sexually. There are taboo subjects in this book that are not usually addressed In many books. This book is very different than the other books I have read before. However, I loved her style of writing and her storytelling. 

Deacon Johns Heartbeakers & Heroes book tour Ciana Stone

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

Deacon Johns Heartbreak & Heroes Book Tour by Ciana Stone not going to lie but piqued my interest by the cover alone this time around. I knew like the rest of the books in the series that this was going to be a good book. She didn’t disappoint. If you have not read her past books I suggest you do. Past characters like Etta and Jasper Jacks make an appearance in this book. I am so happy to hear they are still getting married.

In this book my favorite character without a doubt was Mica. I loved her storyline with Deacon how he thought he was too old for her but she felt differently. However, they had undeniable attraction for eachother. Her story ran deeper than that and that was the part of the story that I liked the most. Who she was forced to be to whom she really wanted to be. I found her character very indepth.

I loved her hobby for different kind of knives which is really unique. 

Alabama Irish by James Russell Lingerfelt

Alabama Irish by James Russell Lingerfelt started off a little bit slow for me at first. I understood the author had to build up the character and his backstory. However, once the story got going it was a great story with powerful scenes.

I loved the fact Brian wrote in a journal every day and that it was basically his only friend til he went away to college. He would write about everything in the journal. I loved how he wrote how he met Shannon and their friendship. What crazy thing he did to get to know her.

My heart ached and I wanted to reach into the book and give Tabs a hug for all the abuse she was put through with Jeff. Nobody should be put what she was put through. He made me sick how he treated her. I am so thankful she got away. I wish Jeff’s Mom could have done the same.

A Spot in My Heart Loving a Special Needs Dog by Kelly Artieri

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

Spot on my Heart by Kelly Artieri definitely left a lasting impression on my heart. Kelly Artieri tells her beautiful story about her amazing Dalmatian Vinnie whom has special needs. She shares with her readers the amazing journey how Vinnie became part of the family. There was one scene that was really hard to read emotionally when deciding to keep Vinnie. This scene pulled on my heart strings tightly! I am so thankful everything worked out. I wanted to reach into the book and give both Kelly and Vinnie a hug.

The bond and the unconditional love that she has for Vinnie shows throughout this book. All the research she did to make sure she taking care of Vinnie and his needs was one way she showed it. Vinnie showed them just as much love if not more back too. It was just a special relationship and experience this family was able to share with this loving dog.

In the book you will see pictures of Vinnie. Kelly also educates you on everything Dalmatians.
This is a short but very powerful read. Even if you never had a dog of your own (like me) you will want one after this book.

45 Pounds of Flesh by Sans Emmett

First, I want to thank Sans W. Emmert, PhD, Books Go Social, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Forty-Five Pounds of Flesh by Sans W. Emmert, PhD was one of the most mind blowing reads I have read in such a long time! Many of the scenes left you speechless with your mouth gaping open. No author I have ever read for before went down some of the topics that Sans W. Emmert, PhD went down. It made the story extremely interesting. This being said this story may not be for everyone. It is a Physiological Thriller and it does have topics such as rape, domestic violence, death, and some pretty twisted sex related stuff. Read at your own risk.

One of the main reason I wanted to read this story is the author said it would be a fictional version of what he thought what would have happened 20 years ago in the JonBenet Ramsey case. I am a huge fan of that case and what happened to that little girl. So of course I wanted to see what his thoughts were. Obviously, he changed the names around in the book. I saw some similarities to the actual case-but he made it his own story. 

My heart went out to Damon in this whole story on so many levels. Sure he was a messed up kid but come on his only father he only knew died at an early age, he then finds out his blood type is not the same as his “father’s”, that he is a product of rape, and then his dog dies of lymphoma! It gets worse from there! The poor guy can’t catch a break! He had a great relationship with his girlfriend Kammie until a secret that she had been keeping from him came out. Oh it was a big one that affected him big time. I even liked their relationship but did not approve of what she did. I didn’t blame him for being upset with her one bit. 

Mason Jar by James Russell Lingerfelt

First, I want to thank James Russell Lingerfelt for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

James Russell Lingerfelt is the next Nicholas Sparks in my opinion after reading the Mason Jar. Yes, like all Nicholas Sparks movies this book needs to be made into a movie. After reading this book I am a total fan of his work. 

James Russell Lingerfelt is an incredible storyteller filled with beautiful descriptions of the scenery around the characters. He really has a way with writing relationships between characters. The way he wrote the scenes between Eden and Finn were incredible in so many ways. What Finn did to meet her, how they fell in love, and how they reconnected. They truly had the most beautiful love story I have ever read in a book before. I also loved the strong bond between Finn and his Grandfather. He was the one to raise him after he lost his parents and brother in a car accident. He would have been lost with the love and support from his Grandfather.

James touches on subjects in the book that are deep and not touched on in many books. For example PTSD when returning home from the war. How it effects them and the ones that they love.

The List by Annalea Kristina

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

The List (The List Series Part 1) by Annalea Kristine was an amazing read on so many levels! From page one Annalea brought you into the heart of the story. So much so I was in total shock and totally dumbfounded by what I was reading. Needless to say Immediately Lilly pulled on my heart strings and we would be going on the journey together. I wanted to reach into the book and give her a hug! Annalea did an incredible job pulling out the emotional and mental parts of many of the scenes between Lilly and her sister and Liz. Not to mention the special bond between Angela and her boss she didn’t realize she had. 

My ultimate favorite part of the story was how Ethan and Lilly met and seeing the evolution of their relationship blossom. Their chemistry was off the hook and the sex scenes were very enjoyable to read. So many things about this couple that I liked. 

There is going to be a second book in the series called The List Revisited. I am looking forward to seeing what happens to Lilly and Ethan in the next book 

Liv by Kelsie Rae

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

Kelsie Rae’s Liv novel as a first-time Indie Writer picked a genius of a storyline to for her debut novel. This book will capture your emotions, shock you to the core, have you in tears, and wanting to jump in the book and hug Live by the end of chapter 1! How the author got through writing those scenes I have no clue. However, I give her credit for writing them and for the character living them. 

The descriptions, details of the events that took place, and Liv’s thoughts and emotions were 
extremely well written. The characters you could not help fall in love with as they were genuine. You could tell that the author was very passionate about the characters in telling of this story. 
There was one person in the book that rubbed me the wrong way from the very beginning of the book. That person would be Susan. Adam’s Mom and Liv’s Mom-in-Law. 

This story did have a life lesson if you looked very closely. 

I didn’t want the book to end. However, Kelsie Rae wrote the best Epilogue that I ever read. It updated the readers on where the characters were in the future. I was grinning ear to ear! Perfect ending to an amazing story!! 

The dedication of this book was extremely cute and made this big kid at heart smile. Totally understanding the meaning of where she was coming from with this statement. 

I love how genuinely appreciative Kelsie Rae is of her readers as she points this out in the Dear Reader section of her book. She also gives her readers and inside look of whom she really is in the About the Author section of the book.

Kelsie Rae has talent! I hope this is not the last time we as readers get to read her books.
