 Five flirty stars for Saddler's Surprise (First off, isn't this cover just precious?!) Surprise is the keyword in this sexy, funny, and heart-warming novel of the notorious swoon-queen’s. How could I not love a story with a fellow Georgia peach as sweet as Gwendolyn James? And damn, Eli Saddler is super swoony and sweet...and a total alpha too. I loved their chemistry, their humor, and their connections and Nicole brought all the steam, as always. I loved getting to revisit the other couples, I adored Sadie, and I love how this book (especially) centered around the family I’ve grown to love like their my own--The Saddlers. This book will make you laugh, cry, swoon, and cuss as you go from Aruba to Arizona to Georgia and back again in this fourth book in the series. Nic knows how to write her boys...and her Georgia peaches too for that matter ;-) Take a hot trip to Aruba on this cold winter day...you won’t be disappointed. Shanna Swenson, author of the Abundance seriesShanna enjoys a good book that thrills, chills and warms her heart...especially ones that take her to Aruba with hotties like Eli Saddler ;-)

 Five fabulous stars for this intense and action packed finale What a heart-pumping, page-turning thrill ride this book was! This finale to the epic Valley series picks up right where book 2 left off: Ravyn, Thorne, and the Warriors are back in the Valley once more, but things aren’t as they seem. There are soldiers, sabers, and howlers stalking them…and there’s a spy amongst their ranks; The battle for true freedom has only just begun. Winter is quickly approaching, and Peton, Ahern, and those seeking reprieve from the evil General Wolfe must ban together to put an end to his reign once and for all. The stakes are even higher, the action is literally constant, and the connection between Ravyn and Thorne is growing ever stronger. I enjoyed the romance and sweet moments between them even as the suspense heightened with each turn of the page. The Warriors were brave and noble, the twists and turns were unexpected, and I was happy with how it all wrapped up, despite that it was bittersweet as well. If you enjoy a non-stop adventure with suspense, action, plot twists, romance, and even a little drama, a book you can't put down, then check this one out, you won’t be disappointed.

He not only talks the talk, this stud walks the walk. The minute his eyes land on Rochelle Thomas, there’s simply no one else. And he makes it his mission to prove himself to her, despite her sordid past. But these two are from different sides of the tracks and Rochelle’s always known her place, despite Hunter’s persistence. Can these star-crossed lovers overcome what holds them back and be together or is the one thing standing between them enough to change everything ? I really enjoyed this fifth book of Evelyn Montgomery’s, it was sweet, sexy and had a twist I wasn’t expecting. Grab your copy today, it’s quite a Catch ;-) Shanna Swenson, author of the Abundance series, PERSONAL FOUL, and It Came Upon a Midnight ClaireShanna enjoys a good book that thrills, chills, and warms her heart...and ones who have swoony catchers like Hunter  Five fantastic stars for To Have Heart-breaking, endearing, beautiful. A great start to a new series. Ladies, get ready to swoon.... This book had me pulled in from the first page. Deacon Deveraux is charming, devoted, humble--the perfect broken alpha. And I love those broken alphas…plus he’s raven-headed and blue-eyed; it doesn’t get much better than that in my book ;-) Charlotte Kasen is a lot sweet, a little sassy and has a heart of pure gold. These two have been meant for one another from the moment of their meeting when little Charlotte came to help a devastated Deacon bury his dog. He’s only had eyes for her ever since...but life has thrown these two star-crossed lovers into tale spin after tale spin and no matter how many times Deacon tries, he simply can’t be without his one true love. He’s harboring some secrets though that he’s not sure Char can handle...and Charlotte has a few of her own. Can fate finally bring these two souls together? To Have had it all. I was enthralled with the past of these two characters who’ve known each other for so long and how their lives delicately intertwined, I loved the movie references, Elsie, the banter between Charlotte and brother Mason, and how Kali’s personalities came through so eloquently in her writing. This book was funny, sad, swoony, real, and so so good! I cannot wait until the next one. I need to know more about Deacon’s past, and Kasen brother Mason. Such a great start to this series!

Darion, along with his mighty steed Triumph, has left Nav’Aria in search of answers--a way to stop Narco of his wicked plague upon the land. He is wandering across the Shazla desert and happens upon creatures, both fierce and majestic, he wasn’t expecting… Meanwhile, back home the storm is brewing and coming to a head, the battle for Nav’Aria has begun, and the troops prepare, but Riccus, too, has set off for answers in the mountains… Trinidad and Lyrianna are still recovering from their imprisonment and the bond they share is greater than they know… And Narco is just the tip of the iceberg in the ocean of evil that surrounds this majestic land, for a powerful sorcerer grows stronger and his clutches on Nav’Aria are tighter than this reader ever imagined possible. Twists, turns, surprise, and non-stop action await as we journey back to Nav’Aria. The character development was even more poignant in this one; I loved seeing the strength, determination, and individuality come to light in the Meridias. Darion’s fortitude (he’s coming into his own and I’m just eating him up) Lyrianna’s willpower (you go, girl), and Vikaris’s (totally swoon-worthy) regal might. I was blown away by the unexpected twist at the end. And utterly captivated by the world building that KJ Backer has created, yet again. It’s quite clear that this lady right here has a spirit as incredible as the fantasy world she’s crafted; your beautiful soul shines through, my friend, and it is bright enough to leave all in awe! Keep doing your thing and this reader will keep reading. Loved this book and you will too, so go grab your copy now!

I mean, who doesn’t love a broody, dreamy, Latin-American FBI agent who’s a closet romantic?

This is one action-packed, steamy, romantic ride, just in time for Christmas too. Get ready for Brittany and Dylan to sweep you off your feet and take you to Miami where you’ll encounter drug cartels, revelations that will break your heart, and unexpected love. I loved these characters; Brittany is strong, tough, but also earthly vulnerable too which made her super endearing in my opinion. And Dylan- gah, he was super swoony. I loved how poetic he was and how he had a soft side to his hard exterior. These two clash like lightning and their lives won’t be the same…and neither will yours ;-) Grab this one up and escape to Little Havana with two unlikely lovers fighting their attraction while trying to take down a drug lord.

Doesn't it look awesome?! Rafa, Rafa, Rafa… I just LOVE me some Spanish heroes, those accents are soooo flippin' hot, and the swoon queen didn’t disappoint with this guy. Rafael Silva is everything an American girl could want- he’s sweet-talking, sexy AF, and can dance his a$$ off. He quickly hooks our girl, the comedic Rochelle Saddler, in her youth and she’s left completely blown away by him and his easy charm, as to be expected, because the boy simply ooooooozes it. Ten years have come and gone since their sparks were lit, but neither has ever been able to move on. Rafael for different reasons than Rochelle originally thought, but he’s back and only wants her and he aims to prove himself to her no matter what. I absolutely loved Rochelle in the other books in the series. From the very beginning, she had me cracking up. But in this one, I was literally busting out laughing! These two were straight fire from the get-go. Rafa was smooth-talking, sexy as hell, and a gentleman, except for when he was in the bedroom ;-) He and Rochelle were perfect for each other. And their banter is absolutely hilarious. They put a whole new meaning to renovating a house. If you enjoy a good romance with laughs, love, (catching up with the Saddler crew) and spicy love scenes then pick this one up, it’s sure to please. Shanna Swenson, author of the Abundance seriesShanna enjoys a good book that thrills, chills, and warms her heart...AND swoony Spanish accents too ;-)  5 stars for the Intimidation Game First off, isn't this a great cover?! This is my first book by C.L. Stewart and I can say with confidence that it won't be my last! This book was raw, endearing, witty, funny, and heart-breaking. It was a workplace, slow-burn, broken heroine, single-dad romance with several twists and turns. I enjoyed getting to take a trip to Glasgow, Scotland, adored the Scottish dialogue, wording and culture. I loved Nikki and Dan's relationship, Nikki's friendship with Damo and how strong Nikki became despite how fragile she was in the beginning of this novel. She was easy to love, a broken soul healing from a dark past, and Dan was a gentleman with a bad boy side too, the perfect balance of professional and sexy. Both their pasts were heart-breaking but these two souls learned to heal together and that was the most beautiful part of this book. If you want romance with a new, refreshing twist to the "game", check this book out! It won't disappoint! Shanna Swenson, author of the Abundance seriesWhere swoony southern heroes await to take your breath away...  5 selfless stars for Saddler's Sacrifice This book...Oh this book! Just when I think I’ve read my favorite Nicole Rodrigues novel, I see that I haven’t. This book hurts like no other before it; it hits your heart in its most sensitive parts and breaks it in a million pieces before putting it all back together again. I fell in love with Valentina Saddler and Declan O’Sullivan in Saddler’s Start. Their young love was a whirlwind of emotions, their story is one of heartache, regret and deep loss...but there are two sides to every story and theirs is unlike anything you’ve read before, trust me when I tell you. Declan is such a stud, Val is so strong, and Faith was just precious. The twists and turns in this book are sure to knock you for a loop. I loved the rawness of this book and the hope. This one deals with regret and time lost, for it’s such a precious gift given to us and how we use it so important. It also deals with second chances, forgiveness, and moving on from our pasts--the things we can’t change. I loved catching up with all the Saddlers and the message here that shone so brightly. Let Nicole sweep you away once more in yet another wonderful novel in her new series.
