Wedding Night Reunion in Greece by Annie West
As the winter winds swirl outside and the aquarium bubbles inside, I felt the sudden urge to read a book.  Finding the joy has taken along time due to work and personal stresses and having a lot of beautiful books sitting there waiting for me to read I chose Annie West's book because I knew it would be an absolutely solid read.

Find the joy I did.  A wonderfully captivating and beautifully intense solid read of two characters who were bought together by a property deal but bonded together over a Christo's little niece, surrounded by the absolutely beautiful setting of Corfu.  

Christo and Emma's story starts from the very first page and continues along a rocky road to a beautiful conclusion and each page is full of engaging, gorgeous and graceful words wonderfully written and completing hooking you in to the very last word with the promise of more in the Passion in Paradise series.


Annie, thank you, I did indeed smile and absolutely loved the Christo and Emma's story and am so glad I chose your story to bring the joy back for me for reading.

Wedding Night Reunion in GreeceReviewed by Helen
Annie West has done it again, written a story that ticks all of the boxes for a romance that is sure to warm your heart, as two people journey with ups and downs along the way as they get to know each other in a most sensual and romantic way, I did love this one.

Emma Piper has led a fairly quiet life after losing her parents and living with her grandparents, but as her grandfather is losing his battle with life she is introduced to Greek billionaire Christo Karides and he wins her heart, but on their wedding day she overhears a conversation and flees to the villa left to her in Corfu, to start a new life but when Christo arrives Emma is struggling to not let her emotions run wild.

Christo is determined to convince Emma that a life together is for the best, that his step-sister’s daughter needs Emma and that the business decisions will go forward, but he sees another side to his wife here on Corfu and it is not long before he is losing his heart to her and he wants a true marriage not one of convenience, but getting Emma to see he does love her is not easy.


I loved this story, the setting is just wonderful, I do love a Greek setting and well a Greek hero, my heart melts and it did so with Christo, what a hero so caring, and Emma she shows her strength and will not be walked over by Christo, family and people are what she cares for not the things that money can buy, this is a story that I highly recommend, a beautiful hero and heroine, MS West thank you for another keeper.

Hot Seal Redemption by Lynn Raye Harris - HOT SEAL Team #5

37937092Review by TashNz - 5 Stars 

Sparks are flying left right and center for Camel and Bailey, two people who would never have met had Bailey's sister gone awol and left lil Ana behind claiming Camel to be the father. 

Loved the opening of the book, it grabbed me and the story was ON!  I really loved how Lynn Raye Harris made Bailey's occupation ok and how it contributed to the story really well and how Bailey's place of occupation assisted with the story really well!  The adventure built steadily, along with Camel and Bailey's attraction to each other and I enjoyed Ian Black's appearance.  Of course, a highlight is always the epilogue which LRH, without fail, delivers another cliffhanger.  The dashing ending is edge of the seat stuff when bad guys place is busted just in time and I'm intrigued as to who the other girl was. 

Another wonderful installment and a glimpse into the lives of other favorite characters. 

Please keep 'em coming Lynn, I LOVE them!

Reviewed by TashNZ | 5 shiny Stars

Jennifer Hayward’s writing is exceptional. She nails emotion and always makes you feel like if this was the last book you’d ever read, that would be ok. Commencing the story is always great, a middle part always capturing and the finale is always wrapped up in a non rushed satisfying manner. 

I loved the coffee shop chat and how it was central to the characters twice. I loved the dramatic business side of things and I loved the friendship that had been built up over the year. The 10 days in Milan was an exciting background and the sports side was central in an exciting way. Dramatic ex’s and backstory which warmed the heart. 

Loved this story very much and highly recommend it.

This is the second book in this series and again MS Hayward has bought the characters to life on the pages, making them real people with real feelings and emotions, she brings out their strengths and insecurities and also took me on a fabulous trip from New York to gorgeous Milan and left this reader a very happy reader.

Lazzero Di Fiore runs a sports clothing and accessories company with his brother Santo, they have worked hard building this empire with passion and Lazzero will go to any lengths to make it bigger and when the opportunity arises for a chance to make it bigger he needs a fake fiancé to take to Milan with him, someone who understands that love and marriage are not what he wants that it will be a business deal only and who better than his favourite barista. 

Chiara Ferrante is a barista a very good one, she works hard to help her father keep his bakery going and that is a struggle and she has been hurt badly before from one of “the suits” as she calls them men of money and top lifestyles, she is convinced she will never be part of that world, but when Lazzero makes an offer she can’t refuse that will help her father, she steps back into that world determined to keep her eyes wide open this time and her heart.

This story moves fast and is fabulous I just loved both Lazzero and Chiara a couple made in heaven as far as I am concerned, Chiara is strong and feisty but also vulnerable because of what she has been through and Lazzero what can I say I want him, he is so loving, thoughtful and shows such passion. This is a sensual moving story that should not be missed I highly recommend and I look forward to Santo’s story. MS Hayward knows how to make a reader feel part of the story thank you.

Colton and the Single Mom is book 4 of an exciting Harlequin Romantic Suspense series called The Coltons of Red Ridge.  Over 6 books we get to know the Colton's as they are faced with a variety of challenges which test them and also lead them to love.

Esmee is a true-crime film maker and trying to nail a story and the case of serial killer called the Bridegroom Killer.  The bad guy (or is it a "guy" in the true sense) has other thoughts and things don't go well.  Brayden Colton wants to stop Esmee interfering, worrying she'll uncover things best left alone.  He's also the only suspect's half brother - eeek!

What a wonderful adventure I was taken on, I need to read more Romantic Suspense stories and the more I read of the Colton's stories the more I want to read the rest.  I loved the interaction between Esmee and Brayden.  Esmee's son added to the story and I loved the well thought out plot along with more intrigue about the Colton's and their history which has been touched on previously.  I love the cover and I think Jane Godman did a fantastic job of holding my attention until the very last page.

A throughly enjoyable story with characters you want to know more and revisit. Loved it!

WOW what a story this one is, so much happening so much action and of course a beautiful romance throughout, I loved the setting and the characters so many people good and bad to heighten the danger as K-9 cop Brayden Colton and true crime filmmaker Esme Da Costa embark on a journey to a beautiful HEA in which there is lots of danger and threats along the way as well as a sensual romance.

Single mum Esme has arrived in Red Ridge to do a story on the Groom Killer who has taken to murdering grooms before their wedding days, trying to get a story and interviewing people especially one cop Brayden is very difficult seeing as how his half-sister is the main suspect, but when she does meet him the sparks fly instant attraction and Esme and her son Rhys are both hooked, her heart melts with the way the Brayden and Rhys become close.

Brayden and his K-9 partner Echo are a solitary team Brayden has been hurt before and with everything that is going on in Red Ridge at the moment getting close to someone is not in his plans, but meeting Esme and her son cause sparks and emotions to run high and when they are in a dangerous situation nothing will stop him from protecting them, as they move in with him the heat gets higher as does the danger.

HOT Angel
by Lynn Raye Harris
How memorable and exciting are these characters? How awesome is the action and how AAARGH is the cliff hanger for Hacker? 100, that's how!

Brooke gets her story and her man in Hot Angel.  Traumatised by past events she's a closed book and not conventionally brave when it comes to chatting to Cade, one of the first men who makes her look twice!  The texting is unique and quite a huge enjoyable part of this book and before you know it you're reaching the last page.  (insert sad face hehe).

The adventure is awesome and a mix of local and Columbian and while it's a horrible time for Brooke, it's the catalyst which makes the two realise what they mean to each other.

A super, super enjoyable story which had me at hello.  I LOVED Max and OMG, the cliff hanger for Hacker!  Helllooo!

It was different in a good way and i really liked the build up, plot and back-story. The cover is devine and I adore second chance stories and I think Pippa did a fab job in this element. 

I wish Pippa the bestest of luck with her release and a wonderful and long career. Looking forward to the next story.

Odir Faouk is about to become king and has a problem, he needs a wife by his side. No problem he has a wife but she left him and he needs to get her back. This is a debut book by Pippa Roscoe and after reading you will put her on your follow list. She has put these two people together again and written a story that takes place over 2 days and what an amazing two days they are . Eloise is feisty and Odir is determined and together you get an amazing story that you won't want to end, but end it does with a super lovely Epilogue. Loved this story and can't wait for her next.

Review by Lynn | 4.5 Stars

A royal reunion! With her debut Harlequin Presents novel, Pippa Roscoe takes us deep into the heart of a potential royal disaster ... and the drama does NOT disappoint! Her characters have a richness to them that even though they are attempting to hold themselves aloof from their feelings, have the ability to show their tender side with each other, even when they may not want to. The plot is fast paced and attention grabbing from the start. I deem it a big success and look forward to watching her voice shine in future books!

Odir Farouk is hours away from being crowned King but needs his estranged wife by his side. Though their marriage was arranged, it had potential to become something special until he decided to guard his heart and treat her indifferently.

Eloise gave their marriage her best shot, but she couldn't stand being shoved to the wayside and forgotten day after day after day. He couldn't have made it more clear that he didn't even want to spend time with her, much less share his life. When he needs her by his side for the good of his country, she'll make a few demands of her own this time!



Review by Helen | 5 Stars

This is a fabulous debut, fast paced, sensual, a marriage that ended before it started, a marriage where the heroine was pushed into it by a domineering father and the hero who wanted what was best for his country get yourself comfortable because you are not going to want to put this one down.

Odir Farouk Al Arkrim is prince of Farrehed and his brother had had a great childhood that is until they lost their mother and their father lost his senses he was so in love with his wife that when she was gone he caused a lot of problems with his country. Odir is never going to do that he has seen what love can do, so when he marries beautiful British Eloise although they met and have been friends before the engagement, he cannot afford to be distracted by her in anyway and when he abandons her on their wedding night and then finds her in a compromising situation and sends her away he keeps doing what he must. But now he needs her back after six months apart.

Eloise has grown up as an ambassador’s daughter travelling the world with her parents you would think that her life would have been fantastic but think again she never got the love that children need her father is overbearing and when he wants something he is happy to blackmail his daughter to get her to marry Odir. Eloise agrees and she likes Odir he is easy to get along with at the beginning but things change very quickly when they marry.

After spending six months apart Eloise has learnt a lot and is a much stronger person so when she is invited to attend an event by Odir she goes but to ask for a divorce, things have changed in her life but they have also changed for Odir he is about to become King and to do that properly he needs his Queen beside him. The sensual spark the push and pull between these two could light up London there are a lot of secrets that have been kept and until both open up their lives cannot go forward. I really felt for both Odir and Eloise and what they had been through Eloise is so strong and caring as is Odir in his own way it took him a bit of time to learn that he could love and when he did, together they became one and love flourished. Congrats on a fabulous debut MS Roscoe I look forward to many more from you and this is one that I highly recommend.

Emmeline is just twenty two she lost her mother when she was young and her father did everything he could to protect her he has kept her in a bubble, she is an Heiress and does have a few issues that had been caused by her mother, but Emmeline has never felt free never felt that she could do the things she wanted and then suddenly her father suggests that she marry a good friend of his and move to Rome so as she can attend university will this be her chance to live and what will come of the glow that sparks between Pietro and herself?

Pietro thinks the world of Col Bovington he has been like a father to him and now he has come to him asking a very big favour and that is to marry his daughter to protect her but it means keeping a big secret one that could cause a lot of problems. Pietro is a businessman a playboy he has no plans to marry and although he has known Emmeline since she was a teenager marrying her is a big ask, can they make a marriage of convenience work or will the spark that flares between them ignite into something much more?

There are a lot of ups and downs in this one the sensual pull between them is way too hard to deny for long and the seduction of Emmeline by Pietro is just so very sensual and moving, Pietro is a fabulous hero caring honest and feeling very guilty about the secret and Emmeline what a strong woman she is after the way her mother and father had treated her she truly thrived on the love that Pietro showered on her. This one is moving and wonderful, I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a good romance with all of the happy feels, thank you MS Connelly.

Review by TashNz | 5 Stars

Wow! Loved the suspense, intrigue and the drama of this story which was by an author I have not read before and a series I'm now 200% interested in!

I liked how the story jumped right in. I was fully invested. I made the mistake of reading the first page at a time it was impossible to sit down and keep going... I couldn't wait to get back to it and find out who the killer was. 

I was questioning if Tucker was involved, although deep down I thought unlikely but i liked how it could have been possible. I liked the flashbacks - or sidebacks - not sure what you call them when the main story is occurring and then there's a snippet of what the bad guy is doing. I liked how all the characters were established and the preview of the next book at the end of the story - OMIGOSH! 

A suspenseful and drama filled tale of a killer on the loose, trying to establish who he is while time runs out and watching long lost love get a second chance. 

Loved loved loved it!


Turn Me Loose by Anne Calhoun (Alpha Ops #6)

Review by Tash Nz | 5 Stars

I absolutely adored this book which is about Ian, the brother Jaime from one of Anne's earlier novella's called The Seal's Second Chance

I want to say I didn't want this story to end but on the other hand couldn't wait to get to the end to find out who, where, what, why and how! With a fantastic plot and enough back story to keep turning the page, I was totally caught up in Riva and Ian's worlds and litterally thru the holding my breath moments I was seriously on the edge of my seat. 

Turn Me Loose is an exciting, fast paced and action packed story of two people who met under very interesting circumstances back when Riva was in College. I loved the history of Riva and Ian and I loved how it was laid out slowy the attraction between the two and how it was clear they both had unfinished business. Turn Me Loose is the perfect example of how flashbacks can work and each flashback added to the story. A great analogy would be completing a jigsaw, each piece I read helped pain the picture. I really enjoyed the unique occupation Riva had and how she could use it to her advantage against her father.

I thought Turn Me Loose is a solid read with everything in it; mystery, drama, romance and Ian and Riva completely made the story! Ian was heroic in more ways than one and Riva was the bravest girl I've read about in a long time. I couldn't put it down and when i had to I was constantly thinking about the story. I finished feeling gutted I'd reached the end but 120% satisfied!

I loved loved loved this story and once again Anne Calhoun has me smiling even now that I write this and I finished the story a week ago. Definitely a shelf keeper and 100% will read again!


Synopsis:  When she was on the verge of adulthood, Riva Henneman committed a crime and got caught red-handed. Luckily, she was busted by a HOT young cop...who also had a big heart. A one-time SEAL candidate, Officer Ian Hawthorn knew how it felt to have your dreams derailed. So he gave Riva a choice: face prison time or work for him as a confidential informant. But even a get-out-of-jail-free card comes with a cost. . .

Years later, Ian still remembers beautiful, innocent Riva--and the smoldering attraction they shared but both tried to ignore. Will they have a second chance, now that they're back in each other's lives? Riva's work with inner-city children has led to a surprise run-in with Ian, who has his own agenda--one that could put them both in grave danger. Is their desire worth the risk this time?

The high octane suspense and super sizzling romance continues with Turn Me Loose, the third novel in the Alpha Ops series by Anne Calhoun.

Her Baby, His Love by Lynne Marshall

Review by Cheryl | 5 Stars

ynne Marshall knew 100% what she was doing when she wrote this love story between Taylor Clark and Joe Collins and calling it Her Baby, His Love. It deserves more stars then 5. 
Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Sometimes it takes twists and turns and you stop trusting people. But sooner or later you will find that it was all to lead you to forever love.
Taylor got taken by her newest boyfriend. She thought it might last and so when her coworker brought the newspaper and showed her what that boyfriend was really doing she knew she had to give notice and leave town. She was so hurt and so dejected again as if she had not had enough heart break by her parents and still did. 
Joe knows he should not get involved but something in Taylor’s eyes caught his attention. He is has been a member of the town called Charity, Montana. Taylor moves into a house that he is a property manager for. He did not expect her quite yet and so the house outside we not finished up yet. 
Joe’s ex worked in the diner in town and Arlene kept thinking that Joe was still going to be hers. Along comes Taylor and Arlene gets even more wanting to be possessive. 
Taylor’s ex comes to town after finding out from a private investigator finds her but he finds that she will not ever do what he wants her to do again.
Have fun reading the story and see if you agree it deserves more than 5 stars. Lynne Marshall has written a wonderful heartwarming love story. 


Review by Alexia | 5 Stars

"Her Baby, His Love" by Lynne Marshall is a wonderful book. I enjoyed this story between Taylor Clark and Joe Collins. Alone and pregnant Taylor moves away from her ex boyfriend, who is engaged to another women, to find a new life for her and her child. Joe is an ex con who becomes Taylor's landlord. What I found refreshing was that this book didn't show the characters in the usual angst of how they should behave or feel. Taylor moves to Charity, Montana and because of her nursing degree is able to find a job. She sincerely wants to be happy. Joe could've let what happened in his past leave him with a chip on his shoulder but he's a nice guy. There is so much more to their story. It is a pretty quick read as the book flows well.

When Joe meets Taylor, he believes he has found the one. The only problem is she’s carrying another man’s child. Can he put aside his attraction to her and earn her trust by becoming her friend?

This was an enjoyable love story. The romance between the secondary characters was also endearing! 


Review by Helen | 4 Stars

Lynne Marshall brings to life the characters she writes about and the settings add so much to the story and this is a story about a heroine Taylor Clark who has a hard time trusting but to love she needs to learn to trust and who better than to help than the people of the small town of Charity and one very gorgeous hero Joe Collins although he has a few issues that Taylor needs to get over first. Their journey is one that has a few hurdles to jump first but those hurdles always add to a story.

Taylor has moved towns to get a new start in life she has been duped by a few men in her life and she is over trusting any man, but when she settles into her new job and house and now finds herself pregnant and alone she is determined to manage. Her landlord Joe Collins and neighbours Dixie and Ram help but getting close to Joe could be a mistake for Taylor you see he is an ex-con not trustworthy material.

Joe has lived here in Charity for a few years now and has been celibate for four of those years he runs the nursey and is always there to help but when new comer Taylor moves in he is hard pressed to remember he is celibate he is attracted to her in more ways than one and now that she is pregnant well that pull seems even stronger.

I loved how the town and Joe rallied around for Taylor when the ex-boyfriend shows up and I loved seeing how she finally realized that Joe is one trustworthy and very lovable hero and to see them start a future together with the baby had me smiling. A thoroughly enjoyable story that will pull you in.


Review by Lynn | 4 Stars

A sweet story of redemption. Finding a reason to trust again after a lifetime of disappointment leads to a new chance on life for Taylor, and Joe finds a way to forgive himself for past mistakes by becoming a good and honest man. They're an adorable couple ... and it's a pleasure watching them find their way to each other.

Taylor Clark is looking for a fresh start after finding out that yet another man has let her down in life, so she moves to Charity, Montana. From the start, she's attracted to the property manager of the house she's renting, but she's not ready to let another man into her life again ... and when she shockingly realizes she's pregnant with her ex's baby, it just complicates the situation even more!

Joe Collins is attracted to Taylor as well, but he leads a different type of life here in this small town, and he's not sure about adding a relationship to the mix. They agree to be friends and tell each other their secrets, but along the way they continue to rely on each other and grow closer. Taylor is able to overcome the fact that Joe is an ex-con, and Joe is willing to step up and care for her more than anyone ever has.

When her ex shows up in town making waves, will their fledgling relationship be over, or will they find a way to get their happily-ever-after?

This is a sweet story about two people who made mistakes in the past, trying to sort out their lives and not fall into cycle of destructive decisions. Taylor Clark was disappointed by a couple of men in her life and now she is pregnant, alone and starting over in a new town, determined not to repeat past mistakes. After being released from prison, Joe Collins moved to Charity to start a new life and become a better person. He succeeded in making a good name for himself and he is giving back to the community, but gaining Taylor’s trust is going to be the biggest challenge yet! 

I enjoyed the story and the way the characters changed their lives around to become better people. The chemistry between Taylor and Joe is explosive and the way the trust between them builds up gradually is fantastic. This is no instant gratification type of relationship between the characters. 

I recommend this to any romance lover wanting happy ever afters!
