Sapphire Beautiful The Club Series by Karen M. Bryson

First, I want to thank Karen M. Bryson whom is writing as Ren Monterrey for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Sapphire Beautiful is the second book in the The Club Series. These books can be read as standalones as they are not meant to be read as a series. However, I am seeing a trend in the books that I am reading. They all have sexual arrangements in various situations. With the past book in the series there were a lot of sex scenes in this book.

My heart went out to Dr. Mary Pine for so many reasons. Her professor husband was in the middle of a sex scandal and ended up killing himself. She was devastated. Not to mention he left her with a lot of bills to pay! She totally went way out of her comfort zone to get the money she needed. However, what she found in the long run was more than she bargained for.

Out of the Shadows Ana Stone

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

Out of the Shadows is the first book of the Renegades written by Ana Stone. This is Ciana Stone’s pen name and being a fan of Ciana I had to read this book. What I loved about this book is it is a total opposite of what we are used to reading from her other genre. This does have romance but it doesn’t have the heat as the other stories do.

I absolutely LOVED the story of Zeke and Roxy. The bond these two had that they had even though they never met before. However, they both had unique pasts that had common threads. It was like a strong force was pulling them together from above. Learning about their pasts and who they are now was cool. It was a love story like anything I have ever read before.

If you like gun violence, gangs, family feuding this book maybe for you. However, I more the love story aspect.

Wise Before Their Time By Ann Richardson and Dietmar Bolle Foreward by Sir Ian McKellen

First, I want to thank Ann Richardson Dietmar Bolle with a Foreward by Sir Iam McKellen for providing me with this book so I may provide you with this review.

Wise Before Their Time People With AIDS and HIV Talk about Their Lives by Ann Richardson a very compassionate look at the lives and daily struggles of people living with HIV and AIDS. A book that you will definitely need your tissues for. A book that will show you that living with HIV and AIDS is not an easy one and each individual is very courageous for going through this battle. You will get a better understanding of the personal and clinical side of this disease.

Throughout this book you will read stories of individuals whom have HIV and AIDS. Each story will touch your hearts in different ways. Many will tell you how they found out they got the disease, how they told their families, what life is like for them now, etc. You will learn that it is not just a gay disease and that even babies can get this. After reading these stories you will never look the same at this disease the same way again.
Words could not express how my heart ached Ann Richardson whom lost her dear friend and co-author of this book Dietmar Bolle to AIDS. It would have been 25 years since his passing. Deitmar had a heart of gold, a passion for helping people and making a difference in their lives. In all of his achievements he accomplished he truly changed these people’s lives for the better. He was truly an incredible man that I would have loved to have the honor to meet. Dietmar Bolle thank you for everything you did for the AIDS/HIV community.

Mark from Canada mentioned something in this book that I loved “Many express a love of being alive and the need not to take things for granted.” “In the life, I am very much an observer. I like to be looking, the people, the things. I have a marvelous relationship with one of my nephews, I love him very much. And to see him growing each day, it is a marvelous for me.”

Everything We Need Finding Forever Book 4 Rebecca Raine

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

Everything We Need is the fourth book in Rebecca Raine’s series Finding Forever. I am a huge fan of hers and this series. So It was a no brainer when this book came out that I must read it. She did an amazing job this time around as all the other books she has written in the past!

Rebecca wrote a story that was new and fresh and that has never been done before. At least not that I have ever read before. I loved all three of the main characters of the story. Totally loved how Trina got met Jeremy under false pretenses only to find out later his true self. Then you have Brady who was in awe of Trina....but Jeremy as well. It made for a very interesting story!! One that I really enjoyed reading.

One thing I liked most about the book was there was a really good storyline to it PLUS sex!

All The Broken Pieces Finding Forever by Rebecca Raine

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

All The Broken Pieces Finding Forever, Book 5 by Rebecca Raine is the first gay romance book she has ever done. I commend her for that! In the past she has done ménage with two guys and a girl but never with just two guys.

I absolutely loved how this book was dedicated to all the same-sex couples who are now legally able to marry in Australia.

The cover is couldn’t be hotter with two handsome men gracing the cover. Kudos to another one of my favorite authors Syneca Featherstone.
Jeremy did something after his last relationship broke up that I wish most men did. After realizing going from one relationship to the next wasn’t going to help heal his broken heart from Aaron, he took a step back from dating. He realized he needed to be ok on his own and trust himself before he could be with someone else. Many men don’t get that they need to heal before jumping into another relationship.

I loved the friendship that Jeremy and Harrison was forming. Dam can Rebecca write dam good gay sex scenes!! The way she wrote them made it very enjoyable to read!!

About That Summer Every Summer Has a Story Book 1

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

Here to Campfires and S’mores by Brooke Moss Wow! What a powerful book! Three girls meet at Camp Chimalis right after Molly’s father passes away. She meets Bree and April whom become her BFF’s both seem cool as heck. They share some great times together as kids and as adults. Some hard to swallow scenes pull on your heart strings.

I loved the part where they are talking about the musical group the Cranberries and Delores O’Rierdon (may she RIP). Plus all the other references to the 90’s!

Lies from a Long Ago by Reign Waters-Grey

First, I want to thank Reign Waters-Grey for providing me with this book so I may bring you with this review.

Lies From Long Ago Sex, Lies, and Thanksgiving Dinner by Reign Waters Grey was not the book I was expecting it to be! It was actually better! Reign Waters-Grey was an author I had never read before and gave her and the book a chance. Oh I am so glad I did. I am an instant fan and will read anything this author writes!
This book had so many secrets, twist and turns, student/professor tyst, murder, heavy flirtation, suspense, an amazing fresh plot line that has never been before. This book had you on your toes the last page of the book. You never saw the end coming at all-at least I didn’t!

This would make such a great movie!

Temptation Island Murder in Paradise Series Rachel Woods

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

WOW!! Rachel Woods surprised the heck out of me with this book!!! Temptation Island Murder in Paradise was NOT the book I was expecting at all. Sure I knew it was going to be sex filled and was open to that. However, I had no clue how much mystery, suspense, blackmail, twists and turns, near rape scenes, nightmares, hidden cameras in odd places, unsuspected suspects, etc there would be in the book. I am a huge fan of books like this-so I was happy!!

This book’s storyline was unlike any other I had read before. It started off a little slow at first I admit. By the second or third chapter it really picked up. When it did pick up I could not put it down! I needed to know what happened. I was SHOCKED to see what happened at the end. I did NOT see it coming!

This is part of a series and I must read the second book in the series!! I am now a fan of this author!!

Mason James Heartbreakers and Heroes book 2 Ciana Stone

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

Mason James is the second book in the Heartbreakers and Hero’s series. I have been a fan of Ciana’s work for a while and I can tell you this is the BEST book she has written that I have ever read. I would strongly encourage her to write more books like this!! It had everything for everyone. Not to mention there were 2 covers for this book. The original cover is the one that pulled on my heart strings and I knew I must read this book. It was of Mason and Tommy on the front cover. I didn’t need to know what the book was about. I just knew by that cover I was going to love that book. Then the other cover which I literally just saw after reading the book was Mason looking hot as heck!! I can understand why Ciana went that route as well. Overall amazing story and amazing covers!!

In the Dedication Ciana mentions her bestie Rita. I am glad she is a reminder to Ciana to always write from the heart. This book truly saw her heart shine bright!

Of all Ciana’s characters in all of her books Savanah and Mason hands down are my two fave. Savanah for all the pain and trauma she went through in her life. I wanted to reach into the book and give her a hug. She became a very strong person through all of that. Mason I loved because he opened up something in her that had been dormant for so long. He was brought happiness back into her world.

I loved the mystery aspect of this story and how it was not all just sex and romance. Yes, it had it’s passionate scenes but it also had an amazing and fresh plot. Oh and it had an adorable baby Tommy.
This is a book I would love to see on The Hallmark Channe

First, I want to thank Ashley Emily Emma for providing me with this book so I may bring you with this review.

Freya: The Confession An Amish Short Story by Ashley a was a very cute story. It was very quick, sweet and easy read. I have always enjoyed reading Amish style books and figured I would give this author a try. I was pleasantly surprised.

This book was filled with an terrible accident, forgiveness, shunning, remorse, running from abuse, etc.
