More Wicked Alphas, Wild Nights by Anna Lowe My rating: 5 of 5 stars Initially I was going to try to do a mini-review on each section, but since they are snippets/epilogues to other stories, that’s really hard to do. So instead I can tell you that this anthology of scenes is definitely worth the purchase. I have read 2 of the authors’ other works, so I knew them, but the other snippets were so well written, I found myself looking them up and adding more stories to my huge TBR pile. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

The SEAL's Secret Lover by Anne Calhoun My rating: 5 of 5 stars Rose Powell is currently taking her Grannie and her Grannie’s best friends to Turkey to check off some items on their bucket lists. When her brother Jack backs out, she’s peeved to say the least. In his stead, he gets his fellow retired SEAL, Keenan, to fill in for him. As soon as Rose sees Keenan, the attraction causes some of her self-control to slip. Keenan knows that Jack would kill him if he knew what Keenan wanted to do with Rose, but he just can’t resist. Overall I really liked this story and now want to visit Turkey!! This story was quick and kept your interest from start to finish. I loved that Jack was able to find his way home. The only problem I had was that there were a few parts in scenes that just didn’t make a whole lot of sense, but it didn’t really deter from the overall story. I highly recommend and can’t wait to read more from this author. **I received an ARC of t

The Art of Taming a Rake by Nicole Jordan My rating: 4 of 5 stars Two years ago, Venitia Stratham was shunned from society for breaking it off with her fiance on their wedding day when he showed up escorted by his best friend, Quinn Wilde, fresh from his mistress’s bed. Venitia refused to accept a man that wouldn’t be faithful, regardless of money and a title, so she was shunned not only by society but her family as well. Now, two years later, she has returned to England from France, determined to save her sister from wedding a rake like Quinn Wilde. This was a really good story. It’s part of the author’s Legendary Lovers series, which all in all, is quite a cute theme. So, as with the other stories, it’s definitely a story that has been told before but with the author’s unique twists. My favorite piece from this book was Venitia and her strong personality in a timeline where women didn’t have rights. She was determined to lead her own life regardles

Mercury Striking by Rebecca Zanetti My rating: 5 of 5 stars Lynne Harmony is going through dangerous landscape, trying to find Jax Mercury, who has risen to mythical hero status since the world started coming to an end 6 months ago. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know if he’l be like everyone else and either try to kill her or turn her into those that are hunting her, considering most everyone blames her for the end. This is one of the first post-apocalypse books I’ve read and the first book I’ve read from this author. I must say, I was completely enraptured. The book snared me from the beginning and didn’t let go. I had a hard time putting it down, even reading it when I shouldn’t. It’s also usually a hard sell for the quick-love that happens in most books, but I couldn’t help but be very happy that Jax was able to embrace his humanity and feel for Lynne. I can’t wait to read more from this series and more from this author. **I received an ARC of this s

Then an unexpected pregnancy, a fight, and Ava was in a car accident. Colm married her and Jack was born.

But Colm had been in the background all the time without Avas knowledge. Smoothing the way for Ava anyway he could. Now Colm wants Ava to come home. I loved this story and plot. The characters were just awesome. Especially Colm, who wouldn’t give up. Also all that Ava and Colm went through.
