Review: Las Vegas Luck by Nicole Sanchez

Las Vegas Luck Las Vegas Luck by Nicole Sanchez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review. 

This was a short and spunky story.  I love how it was about the 4 girls getting to know each other again and just bonding with one another.  Yes, there were spicy moments, but the overall point of this book is about the girls having a fun vacation and also having their moments of life creeping in to ruin their fun vacation. 

I am really enjoying this series so far and I'm glad we will be getting more books about these great characters.  I'm very intrigued to see how each of their stories pan out in the upcoming novels!  I'm sure many shenanigan's will happen during those rollercoaster rides!

Very glad I got the chance to read this book and I am looking forward to more :)

Review: Saving Vienna by Vikki Jay

Saving Vienna Saving Vienna by Vikki Jay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review. 

I absolutely adore this family!  Zane is such a sweetheart, dealing with a lot of internal judging and always being the quiet, shy one.  I'm so glad we got to get his story and see who he really is when he decides to open up and fully express himself.  He is such an amazing guy who every girl will read about and fall in love and want their own Zane, though there are not as many men out there like him. 

And Vienna.  She is such a fighter but also scared to no end.  She had to watch her mom get sick and just that memory makes her terrified she will be living that life.  I honestly don't blame her for just wanting to ignore her sickness and pretend that it wasn't happening, because I would be scared out of my mind too.  Thankfully she had Zane there from step one and he was able to talk her into taking care of herself, no matter what the outcome was going to be. 

This whole family - the Teagers and their spouses - have been through some hard times, but seeing them get their HEA is so heartwarming and uplifting.  I love these books - Roses, though, is especially my favorite still though - and I can't wait to read more amazing books by Vikki Jay.  I'm so glad I stumbled into her first book and discovered a rare gem, because now I'm reading her books ASAP whenever they become available, cause I just can't get enough!

Review: My Fake Fiancé by Piper Rayne

My Fake Fiance My Fake Fiance by Piper Rayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Valentine PR.  This is my honest review. 

I've said it before, and I believe I will keep saying it with each book I read by Piper Rayne - I absolutely, 100% love this book.  Maybe even more than the others, but it's so hard to pick because I love each and every Greene I have come to know through their stories.  

Mandi is an amazing person.  She is a people pleaser, always trying to find a way to do everything she can to make life better for the people around her.  But that means she usually doesn't get what she really wants.  I loved seeing her on vacation in Hawaii and she finally did something for herself instead of let her family dictate what she was going to do - and this book of her own story did not disappoint!  You don't see Mandi lose her cool often, but I actually enjoy seeing her let her true feelings out, because that makes her so human and so real to me. 

Noah is so dreamy.  I love how he falls for Mandi even though they don't see each other often.  You can feel the chemistry between the two and I love how he makes Mandi feel feminine and beautiful - all the things she is, but doesn't really feel or acknowledges until Noah is around.  I love how he's really sweet, and lets the Greene family kinda steamroll him into taking photos he's not used to, but also starting to really determine how he wants to spend the rest of his life. 

Mandi and Noah are so good for each other and really make them question how they want their future to be.  This was an amazing novel, full of laughs, tears, spicy and tender scenes that made me feel full to the brim of emotions!  I'm so so glad I got the chance to read this novel and, of course, I'm already waiting for the next book - especially with those ending sentences!!!

Review: The Right Kind of Trouble by Shiloh Walker

The Right Kind of Trouble The Right Kind of Trouble by Shiloh Walker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review. 

**THIS REVIEW WILL HAVE SPOILERS AT THE END. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!!**

I gotta say, after seeing Moira and Gideon through book 1 and 2, it was nice to get their story finally. Though I feel like Moira needed to do A LOT more groveling and apologizing than what she did. I get she was traumatized, but Gideon had been waiting around for 18 years. He deserved more of an apology, in my opinion.

I loved so getting to see and get the previous characters viewpoint throughout the whole series. I just wish that their viewpoints were labeled cause it was hard to keep up with the change bergen between each one. 

**SPOILERS**

I 100% KNEW IT WAS CHARLES SINCE BOOK 2!!!!!! I knew it! There were too many hints that have him away. What other character had a house or used to live in London? Who else could have possibly been connected with William? Who had been around the 2 McKays to know them, but didn't know Neve is terrified of needles? I guessed really early on and stuck to my prophecy, so I am really happy that I am right! 

I'm glad I got the chance to read this series finally. I really enjoyed it as a whole and all of the mystery and romance was a nice balance of each other.

Review: The Trouble with Temptation by Shiloh Walker

The Trouble with Temptation The Trouble with Temptation by Shiloh Walker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley.  This is my honest review. 

I'm enjoying the mystery in these books, and I'm 70% sure I know who the killer is.  I think.  There are so many characters in these books, I have been thrown around a lot, but I'm going to stick with my suspect and see if I'm right haha. 

Brannon seriously ticked me off.  Why couldn't he tell Hannah what happened.  Be upfront, honest, and truthful.  Feelings change, but past choices don't and he needed to fess up to it.  

Hannah is a true fighter.  Her past is so sad to read about, but I love that she fought back and she doesn't let anyone walk all over her or bully her - or anyone else for that matter!  She is going to be a fantastic mom. 

I'm very intrigued to see how things go for Moira, but honestly, I want to see if my suspect is right.  Diving into the final book now!

Review: Headed for Trouble by Shiloh Walker

Headed for Trouble Headed for Trouble by Shiloh Walker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review. 

There were a lot of things I appreciated about this book, the first being, it was an unique take on best friends sibling. I usually can't stand these storyline because there are so many secrets and sneaking around. In this book, though, Ian was 100% upfront with Brannon about him and Neve, AND Brannon didn't make him feel guilty!! It was how most of these storylines should go! So I was very very happy about that. 

I saw a lot of reviews complaining about the multiple viewpoints and stories. I actually liked that, though I wish the chapters were named with the person's name of who's viewpoint is was. I was able to figure it out, but since we're a bit harder. 

I loved seeing Neve get back to her usually sassy self, and I loved for Ian was so in tune with her. 

I really enjoyed this story and I'm very intrigued to see how book 2 goes!

Review: Star-Crossed Dragons by Chris Cannon

Star-Crossed Dragons Star-Crossed Dragons by Chris Cannon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review. 

I've been holding off on this book even though I really enjoyed Bryn's story. I just knew this was a forbidden love and would have a lot of secrets and sneaking around. I can handle a little bit of that, but knowing the history of these two characters, I knew this world be almost all of the book. 

It was nice to see how things progressed between Sara and Ian. I loved how rebellious Sara was and how she wasn't a true Blue. She is a great actress though! 

I'm glad I finally got around to reading this additional installment to a really good series.
