September Doves by Emmerson Hoyt

5.0

This book had me HOOKED from start to finish. All of the characters have a special place in my heart and I’m a sucker for a small town where everyone knows everyone.

Emmerson’s style of writing kept me engaged and it was clear and concise. The cover is beautiful and I’m so excited for book 2. I think this one deserves a spot on my shelf.

Thank you Romance Me With Books and Emmerson! This review is of my own honest opinion.

Really hot, dual POV sexual awakening story. Way better than I expected to be, if I was light enough to blush, my face would be cherry red on some parts. I love everything that Dani puts out.

Mafia Ties, Sudden Attraction, Adult Age Gap (no teens), BDSM and circus performances! This storyline was so amazing, the twists and turns were fabulous and the cliffhanger?! Not to mention the audio includes a FULL CAST NARRATION! The voice actors were absolutely amazing and I can't wait for Book 2!

The cover itself is absolutely gorgeous, too. I've been interested in Shibari ans this actually gives me that little push to start practicing again *wink, wink*

Thank you Love Book Tours and Liza for this spicyyyyy book! 1

 A SUPER cute read. I read it all in one day! Can’t wait to get my hands on book two of the Oakton Hills series. Love, spicy scenes, small town and DOGGIES!

This duet was very similar to the first one but Ames Mills is such an amazing author that I was still hooked from beginning to end.

Still not sure how I feel about this book. There were a lot of moment where, as a reader, I was like "???? you're not gonna question that?" to the MC. The storyline itself is good, the execution wasn't the greatest. The character development wasn't as intense as it could've been and the plot twists were underwhelming. But I will be reading the second book because I need to know how it continues. 

Thank you, Erin and Breys Book Tours for the opportunity. This review is of my own honest opinion. 

The Brit by Jodi Ellen Malpas

This was my first mafia novel and it had me hooked from start to finish. The plot, the mood swings, the conflicts, all amazing. So good that I bought the rest of the series.

This audiobook was very good! I especially enjoyed the accent of the narrator, it made the story much more realistic.

You have a deep rooted family connection, characters that build great relationships, and a brand new bakery! Everything goes downhill when bakery owner, Lyndsay, is framed for the death of a neighboring New York bakery owner. Lyndsay and her family goes on their own investigation to clear her name and correct the press. 

It's such a cozy murder mystery. Kept me pleasantly entertained! So many twists and turns, I was surprisingly wrong with my guesses! It's refreshing to read a story and not be able to predict what's next. 

Deep family connection, FMC character development, and dessert recipes! What more would you ask for in a cozy, west Indian Mystery series? Can't wait to listen to the next one!

Thank you NetGalley And Olivia. This review is of my own honest opinion.

Really really good book. Just wasn't deep enough; some parts could've been more detailed. The cliffhanger definitely has me needing to read the next book.
