Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
This is the first time I have read a book from this author, and now I’m hooked and realise I have a lot of reading to catch up on. As this was my first read it didn’t take me long to pick up this author very distinctive writing style and I was away. The fact I hadn’t read any of the Hail series did not detract from my enjoyment of this book.
I assume you have read some of the blurb, Dante is heartbroken over the loss of wife and children in a car accident some years previously and was still in deep mourning when a Mary is delivered by her mother who is on the brink of dying.
Mary is only a baby, and needs all his love and attention. Marianne who was Mary’s mother only best friend Cobie is having a bad time and Dante steps in to help, and whether he likes it or not begins to join the living again. Dante fights his feelings for Cobie with all his strength.
This is also an action packed storyline running through the book, with many twists and turns so I am not giving anything away. I will say this books takes place over a couple of years so we get to know the characters well, and Dante definitely becomes my hero. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thoroughly recommend it. Now I off to read some of the others.

Review: Midnight Valentine

Midnight Valentine by J.T. Geissinger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
Wow what a different kind of love story, this is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly won’t be last. I don’t know how I’ve missed her books.
When Megan moves to Seaside, Oregon to open a Bed and Breakfast called The Buttercup Inn. The Inn which is a beautiful Victorian building that unfortunately needs lots of renovation.
As soon as Megan arrives in town, she meets Theo Valentine the town’s recluse who happens to be the contractor working on the inn’s restoration. Whenever Megan needs help he is always there.
I loved Megan’s snark and running commentary, especially “moody raincoat guy “when she meets Theo. At its heart this is a love story, with sad tragic things they can happen in life. If you want something different, special kind of romance, then this is one for you. I loved it, and read in one go. I am not going to give anything else away. I read this and didn’t know what to expect, and it enhanced the experience.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Feels Like Home

Feels Like Home by Jennifer Van Wyk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on Behalf of http://bookaddict.live, 3.5*
This is a romance with a difference, firstly its about more mature couple. We also have the blending of two families, and all the strife that can cause.
Andy is a 35 year old hottie that comes home and finds his wife having sex with another man. So there is drama especially caused by the ex-wife.
This is about two people who come together and discover love, and a second chance.
Christine seem too good to be true, if you want a sweet story with a more mature theme, and life after divorce, and finding love again. Unfortunately the echoes of past hurts coming back to affect you when you least expect it.
This a sweet story of finding love, and more idealist view of blending families, but entertaining all the same.

Review: Stud

Stud by Kelly Siskind
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reviewed on behalf of http://bookaddict.live,
This was an entertaining romantic comedy from Kelly Siskind, this is the first time I have read one of her books and  it won’t be the last. Sometimes we want a fun read that will bring a smile to your face. The one thing I loved was they were two normal people. Ainsley is a personal shopper who is tired of buying gifts for cheating husbands’ wives and girlfriends, it makes her uncomfortable. So to make herself feel better she volunteers at A Habitat for Humanity project. There she meets Owen, at first thinking he is gay and they become friends. Owen is making hand made furniture and volunteering at the same site as Ansley. The sexual tension is there from the beginning, and once Ansley finds out he isn’t gay. Its full steam ahead, and not a Billionaire in sight.
This is witty and enjoyable romantic comedy, and the sexual tension between Owen and Ainsley was HOT. Unfortunately they both had previous failed relationships, that effected the way they view each other. What follows is comedy of errors, love and misunderstandings. I love Owen he was a sweetie, and fell for Ainsley straight away. As we know the path to true love is never smooth. Also a good cast of characters to support the main couple. If you like a good laugh this is for you. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
