Love at First Bark by Debbie Burns

Image
A delightful fourth installment to Debbie Burns’ Rescue Me series ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Puppies!!! For that reason alone, I knew I would love this story, having them be Border Collies was the icing on the cake. They are my favourite breed of dog and Debbie got their renowned characteristics, especially for Sadie and Turbo down to the ground. You might think I’m mad for highlighting the dogs in my review, but it speaks a lot to the author's ability to write about characters if they can make you see an animals expression or the understanding that comes with the tilt of their head in your mind’s eye. I did enjoy the story, three of my favourite things, Christmas, romance and you guessed it, puppies :D Though I found the plot a little slower than I would like in places, I thoroughly enjoyed reading #LoveAtFirstBark and would recommend to those who enjoy their romance. My thanks as always to #Netgalley, #SourcebooksCasablanca and @DebbieBurns for giving me the honour of revi...

Wait for Me by K.L. Grayson

Image
You don’t know what you have been missing until you find it. K.L. Grayson’s latest release is a heart-warming romance, with a superstar leading lady, Nora and a single father of three, Grayson, working hard to provide for his family. The juxtaposition of the leading roles is refreshing, along with the focus on Grayson’s adorable three children.  At an age when it’s only natural to want to make changes in her life, Nora is forced to flee the bright lights and harsh critics for small time life. There she finds that fame and money are not what most people think and it’s the simple things like helping a boy who lost his mother and a braiding a young girl’s hair are a soothing balm to the wounded soul. Join Nora and Grayson on their journey of friendship, romance and real life that could lead to their own happily ever after.  I enjoyed the slightly slower pace of this book and the chemistry between the characters makes this a star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read.

The Secret Cove in Croatia by Julie Caplin

Image
#TheSecretCoveInCroatia is something a little different from @JulieCaplin and her Romantic Escapes series. What struck me was the increased focus on the male character, which of course is normally touched upon but I found The focus on Nick refreshing.  I loved Maddie’s Sass and she came into her own on this journey, which was great to see from the get go. I'm giving The Secret Cove in Croatia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and highly recommend this book to all who are looking for a romantic escape. As usual my thanks to #Netgalley and #HarperImpluse for allowing me to review #TheSecretCoveInCroatia Purchase Links: Amazon UK:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Cove-Croatia-Romantic-Escapes-ebook/dp/B07L7Y9LL5/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=The+Secret+Cove+in+Croatia+by+Julie+Caplin&qid=1563013377&s=gateway&sr=8-3 Amazon US:  https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Cove-Croatia-Romantic-Escapes-ebook/dp/B07L7Y9LL5/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=The+Secret+Cove+in+Croatia+by+Julie+Caplin&qid=15630...

Ireland The Best: The Insider’s Guide to Ireland by John McKenna and Sally McKenna.

Image
As an avid collector of travel guides and someone who has spent many a holiday in Ireland, I thought #IrelandTheBest: The Insider’s Guide to Ireland by John McKenna and Sally McKenna. would be an ideal book for me to review for #NetGalley.  Unfortunately, this was not the case. The format of the book is essentially a list of Places to stay, eat, visit and things to do. Don't get me wrong this format allows for more places and less waffle, but it is just not my preference and why I've rated it ⭐⭐⭐.  Perhaps Ireland The Best would be better in paperback than on Kindle, when I first began to read and was bombarded with the different colours of font I thought it contained hyperlinks, which would have been brilliant but unfortunately not so I'm at loss as to why the words were in green, blue, white and red (I have my Kindle set to dark mode, hence white). Overall informative, confusing and just not for me, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't suit others, pe...

Seal's Sunshine Black Eagle Seal Teams Book 2 by Lynne St James

Image
I loved this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ second instalment of Lynne St James' Black Eagle series. In particular the attention paid to the role of the whole team and not just to the relationships with the main protagonists. Call me fickle but I love the secondary characters because it means that I know there will be more stories to tell. Getting back to Cam and Miranda, I found their relationship honest and enjoyable to be along for their journey. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Susan Stoker, Elle James, Caitlin O'Leary and Avery Gale.

Holy flipping hotness Batman! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ rated. Hard Ride Powertools: Hot Rides Book 3 by Jayne Rylon is one of the sexiest books I've read in a long time. I didn't really feel the suspense of the stalker but the friends to lovers aspect of the story more than made up for it. I highly recommend.
