Captured Hunter by Jamie Sterling


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

Captured Hunter by Jamie Sterling I can honestly say is the most unique BDSM book I have ever read before. If I didn’t know a head of time that it was that genre of book you would never guess it.

This book started out very innocently. I actually liked how Hunter met Dr. Stephanie research astronomer and assistant chair of the Astronomy Department at the University.  She was giving a tour and they hit it off.  They seemed like a good pair both into science related stuff.

If I were Stephanie I don’t think I would appreciate a guy taking me to a Haunted House on a date. Especially where there were ghosts.

The story in my eyes got good when he confessed about a secret he had. He liked Stephanie a lot and didn’t want to hurt her feelings but needed to tell her. He risked losing her but it was something he was willing to do.

This book starts out very slow in my opinion and then heats up at the end.

Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson


#PandaMoonPublishing
First, I would like to thank Jill Hannah Anderson and PandaMoon Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson is the sequel to her amazing first book The Hell-and-Back Club. If you have not read that book it is a must read!! This book I feel though could be read as a stand alone rather than in order.

I am very moved and honored to see my Heidilynn’s BookReviews name/service in the Acknowledgements in Jill’s book.  I feel extremely blessed to be reading and reviewing for Jill Hannah Anderson and Pandamoon Publishing.

So many times in this book did my heart go out to Molly!! Her boyfriend leaving her, members of the community harassing her by telling her you don’t belong here, etc.

I loved the friendship that was slowly building up between Jackson and Molly. However, Jackson is cautious because he always jumps into things too fast and Molly just getting over Nick.  However, the chemistry is there.

I loved the small town setting of Love. The characters that would come into Rosie’s shop that now Molly was taking over I loved.

Romancing JT Millionaire Romance by Anastasia Alexander


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

If you are a fan of the Bachelorette or the Bachelor then Anastasia Alexander’s Romancing JT Millionaire Romance is just the book for you. Just an fyi JT is NOT Justin Timberlake as I found out while reading the book. Seriously though I literally felt like I was on the set of a reality show trying to figure out who was going to win his heart! To be a fly on the wall was pretty cool seeing I like those reality shows.  

My heart went out to JT whom was grieving the loss of his wife. Yet, his business partner made him go on the show even though his heart was not ready to move on.

It was  a very interesting book.

The Ex-Wife The Nail Biting Psychological Thriller by Jess Rider



First, I want to thank Jess Ryder, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Jess Ryder is now officially one of my favorite new authors!! The Ex-Wife was just the physiological thriller that I was totally craving!!! Jess did an amazing job at sucking you into the story and captivating you the whole way through. Beware once you start this book you wont want to stop reading it until it is done. Trust me you wont want the book to end-it is that good!!!

If you like books that are extremely fast paced drama, infidelity, major car pile up, abduction, lying, changing identity, ex drama, spousal mid life crisis, coma’s, fake deaths, reinventing yourself, not knowing where the story is going to go, then this book is for you.

The book goes from back in time to present day to make the story very interesting.
I started liking the husband Nicky and by the end of the book hated him with a passion!! Once a cheater always a cheater!! My heart went out to Natasha his second wife so many times during this book!!

One Last Chance by Nancy Stopper

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

One Last Chance by Nancy Stopper is Book 3 in the Oak Grove Series. I highly suggest you read this book after you read the others to get a sense of the characters and the story line. This is not a standalone book However, I will warn you that In this book might not be for everyone. Especially if you were once in a verbally or physically abusive relationship. It may bring up bad memories for you. There are some violent scenes in the book as well.

I absolutely LOVED this book for so many reasons! Rachel proved over and over again what was not going to kill her was going to make her stronger- no matter what she was going through. Thank God she had the love and support from her brothers, Sawyer, and eventually her parents. So many times my heart ached for Rachel and I wanted to reach into the book just to give her a big hug!! Nobody should ever go though what she went through or live in fear like she did.

What I was glad to see that through all of this she was able to find happiness in the end. She found strength and she found herself again.


The Lies We Believe by TK Chapin


First, I want to thank T.K. Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

The Lies We Believe in my opinion the best book he is ever written hands down! I am a huge fan of his work. This book was incredibly suspenseful with a lot of twists and turns that had you on the edge of your seat. At times you wanted to hug Ron for all he went through. Also worried about Emily!
With true T.K. fashion he sticks to his strong faith roots. This book focuses on what happens when Ron’s daughter Emily joins a new age church/cult. This is a subject I had never read about so it made for an interesting read.

I really enjoyed how Ron and Theresa met in the grocery store and their immediate connection. Their story is one that does not happen every day and is nice to read about. Theresa was good for him and was there for him in his time of need.

I loved the fact that T.K put a character by the name of Heidi in the book. Not many characters with my name are mentioned. That put a smile on my face.

This is a great genre for T.K. and I really hope he writes more books like this. 

One Last Objection by Nancy Stopper

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

One Last Objection by Nancy Stopper is book 4 in the Oak Grove Series. This can be read as a Standalone. However, past characters from previous books show up in this book. For example, we learn in this book that Rachel broke up with Shane (thank God for that) and is now dating Sawyer! He has been so supportive in this book! Joey and Brittney are still together and doing well. However, Joey is having a hard time dealing with a family matter he just found out about.

Out of all the books in the series this was by far my favorite book out of all of them. I really enjoyed reading Michael and Maggie’s story and how it all unfolded. From the first scene they were in Nancy had you hooked! So many ups, downs, and twists and turns with that relationship. I was so happy for Maggie but I felt that Michael was putting it on way too thick. I didn’t blame her for getting PIH after dealing with everything she was going through.

Rachel’s situation pulled on my heart strings a little bit by learning more about birth Dad and that she had another family. However, I felt for her family that raised her as well. It was a complicated situation. But I could understand why Rachel would want to know her sisters and brother.

Only the Pretty Ones A Angry Girl Crime Stories by Karen M. Bryson


First, I have to thank Karen M. Bryson for providing me with this book so I may bring you this book.

Only the Pretty Ones an Angry Girl Crime Story by Karen M. Bryson is the BEST MYSTERY BOOK I have read in a long time!! I have not read from this author before but I will read anything she writes from now on hands down! Once I picked this book up I could not put it down until I knew the ending. WOW the ending was epic! I had an evil laugh at the end of it!! Flynn was my hero!!
This book has must be made into Lifetime TV Movie all over it! I would gladly be watching all the events and drama unfold! If you like books with a lot of twists and turns, abducting, blackmail, sisters who have eachothers backs, shocking moments, moments that will make you tear up, sick twisted senators and his messed up son, past family trauma, bad memories, love in unique places, and you actually wanting to jump in the book yourself and get revenge-then you must read this book!!

My heart went out to both of the sisters for what they both went through past, present! I just wanted to give them a big hug!! NO woman ever deserves what they went through!!!!

Missing by Adiva Geffen



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

Adiva Geffen started out her novel Missing right away by grasping the readers attention with the first few lines of the story. New to her writing and story lines I was unsure of what to expect. I knew it was going to be a mystery about a missing girl. I enjoy reading these types of stories. This one did not disappoint.
Advia made you question throughout the book who Davita was and what kind of person she was. Why would she go missing? Why would so many people be so secretive about it? It was the edge of your seat kind of book.

Another's Child by Einat Danon


First, I would like to thank Einat Danan for providing me with this book so I may bring this review.

Another’s Child was written by Einat Danan and translated from the Hebrew by Tali Shilon. This was my first time reading any of her work and was not sure what to expect. However, I knew I loved the write up and the concept of the book. I ended up loving the book.

Einat’s character Noa touched my heart in so many ways though out the book. Such a young girl to go through such a tragedy at such a young age. Plus, she had a hard time coming to terms with it. There were many times in the book I wanted to reach out to her and hug her. Plus, I admit I cried as well many times throughout the book.


In His Love by T.K. Chapin


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

In His Love by TK Chapin is part of the Diamond Lake Series in where in can be read as a standalone or as part of a series. However, you do see past characters such as Serenah and Charlie. Whom are two of my fave characters. This book is unlike any of his other books TK has written as the focus of the book is not one he has ever addressed before. This time he tackled homosexuality and how it plays a part in today’s society in Christianity. Tackling many of the views (some positive and some negative) that some in society have on the issue. Then also how faith and god play a role into it as well.

This book definitely had a lot of ups and downs to it. You thought you knew where the book was heading but the ending was not at all what you thought it would be. The book in me brought out a lot of emotions in me from sadness there are people in this world who cant accept homosexuality, anger for how the LGBT community treated Billy, peace knowing that Billy found Jesus at the end, upset at the events that took place at his birthday party years ago, thankful for Johns budding friendship with Kate, and John being more understanding of his own gay brother.

One thing I liked most about the book is that Billy’s Mom Jenna never gave up hope that he never committed suicide. She knew in her heart that he could not have taken his own life. She with the help of John was determined to find out what really happened to him. John learned a lot about himself throughout this journey. It made him a better man overall.

Life in a Box by L.S. Einat


First, I want to thank Einat Lifshitz Shem-Tov for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.


Life In A Box is the first book I read from Einat Lifshitz Shem-Tov. With reading a new author you are unfamiliar with their writing style you are never sure what you are going to think of the book. I can tell you that from the FIRST line of the book she had me hooked! Wow!! What an incredible tragedy to bring a reader into the book and immediately be in shock! Then to pull on the heart strings of the reader and be totally sad and want to hug Eva to comfort her. She thought she knew who her family was but she had no clue who they were.
If you love a good mystery with a lot of twists and turns in the story then you will totally love this book.

Black Dog Nights The Club Series by Karen M. Bryson


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

Black Dog Nights was written under the pen name of Ren Monterrey for the Club Series. However, Black Dog Nights was broken up into three different parts. Each part was better than the part before! This book had a hold on me like no other book I have read in a long time. The storyline was so fresh and new! As I read it the movie version played in my head. Yes, I would so see this in a movie theatre!!

This book had so many twists and turns that it kept you on the edge of your seat wanting more!! So many times in the book I wish I was Rose! I am not just talking for the amazing sex scenes either!! There were way more times that pulled on my heart strings. Warning you get your tissues out because you will need them! There are times I cried!!!

I seriously did not want this book to end!!

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!
