The Wrong Witch to Hex With (Moonshadow Cove #1) By Molly Harper

 

Blurb:

The first book in USA Today best-selling author Molly Harper’s dazzling new Moonshadow Cove trilogy, simmering with magical mayhem, spicy romance, and laugh-out-loud humor!

As the youngest of three sea witch sisters, Linney Seaworth lives a secluded existence in her family’s secret cottage on Moonshadow Cove, the far side of Starfall Point. Together, the Seaworths wield magic derived from the surrounding waters to keep the human population safe from paranormal threats. But Linney has always longed for a more adventurous life ... which is exactly what she gets when handsome newcomer Gray Brockhurst shows up on the Island.

Gray just inherited one of Starfall’s oldest ghost tour companies. Even though he’s never believed in ghosts, he’s continuing the family business to honor his late grandfather, who relished in sharing the island’s lore. But Gray is thrown for a loop when a lovely local interrupts his tour and changes his entire world view. Apparently, ghosts are all too real, and he’s been offending them with inaccurate stories during his “performances.”

But soon the Seaworths face a bigger problem: A deadly enemy has been unleashed, and it’s unlike anything they’ve ever encountered. As Linney and Gray work together to stop it, the attraction brewing between them just might be the most powerful magic of all.

 

My review:

Mystery, magic and romance. This tale starts with the youngest of the Seaworth sisters. Linney and Gray’s story is filled with family conflict and new experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed their adventures and look forward to the other sisters finding love and answers to the mysteries plaguing their family.

There's a Way (Mythic Beast #2) by Candace Blevins

 

 

Blurb:

Will and his boy are working things out, dealing with speed bumps as they arise while they look for their third. Will meets a woman after the final concert of this tour and takes her in his dressing room, then on the sink in a locked family bathroom a few hours later, and then his hotel room after the party — all in the first four hours he knows her.

He’s a little in love with her fifteen minutes in, but how will his boy feel about her?

She has a secret, and it’s a big one. When she’s told she might never be allowed to tell her men what she really is because Will is famous, she’s devastated. How can she continue sharing her life with them when there’s so much they can’t know about her?

Please note: This book continues the story started in Where There’s a Will.

 

My review:

WOW! This book takes us on a journey of discovery. Will has always known that he has wanted/needed a throuple relationship to make his life complete. In Where There’s a Will (the first book) Will finds Davy his perfect slave boy. In this book he finds Micca who he believes might just be their third. This is their story. As with any love story honesty and communication are fundamental to its success. It may take awhile and several rather high hurdles but if its worth fighting for the battle will leave you stronger.

Surf God (Deity Dating Book 4) by Sheri Lyn

 

 

Blurb:

Some waves are meant to be ridden together.

Poseidon, God of the Sea, has spent centuries riding waves and avoiding emotional entanglements. But when Geoff—a shy, hardworking single father—shows up for surf lessons, Poseidon's immortal heart does something it’s never done before: skips a beat.

Geoff thinks taking lessons from the ridiculously hot instructor is a great idea. Falling for him? Not so much. The gorgeous Surf God is wildly out of his league. There’s no way a guy like Sy—beautiful, confident, and practically perfect—could ever be into someone like him.

Afraid to risk the friendship they’ve built, Poseidon turns to the Deity Dating Agency—run by the ever-chaotic duo Loki and Thor—to help Geoff find his perfect match. But as every date goes hilariously off course, one thing becomes crystal clear: love doesn’t always follow the rules of gods or mortals.

 

My review:

Awesome! This book tells an adorable tale of Poseidon, a single dad and his precocious daughter. This book had me laughing and sighing and just loving everything about it.

The Love Fix (Sunrise Cove #8) by Jill Shalvis

 

Blurb:

Welcome back to Sunrise Cove for this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers tale where found family, forgiveness, and love may just be the key to finding yourself, from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.

Lexi Clark’s life is falling apart around her, so when she’s summoned home to Sunrise Cove, the last thing she wants to do is face all the complications she left behind. Her past, her stepsister Ashley, and especially her infuriatingly gorgeous childhood nemesis-turned-crush Heath Bowman.

Yep, Lexi’s pretty sure being home again just might kill her. She’s an overachieving art appraiser who doesn’t believe in trust, love, or Happily Ever Afters. Free spirit Ashley, on the other hand, is so full of life it hurts to look at her. But Lexi can’t refuse Ashley’s plea to honor their late mother’s final wish to make amends with the people she’d wronged.  So, on behalf of her estranged mother’s estate—and with Heath in tow as the executor—Lexi embarks on a road trip to repay all the people her gambling addicted mother owed money to. 

Complicating everything are the feelings that well up for Lexi: for her mom, for Ashley, and most of all, for Heath. And for the record, she doesn’t like it, or the way he has of scaling the walls she’s built around her heart. The road trip shenanigans that ensue are both funny and heartbreaking, but Lexi finds something shocking along the way. Acceptance. Family. And unbelievably—if you ask Lexi anyway—love.

 

My review:

Enter the tapestry of Sunrise Cove set in the Sierra Nevada mountains just off Lake Tahoe. The author paints a picture of a woman coming to terms with a painful past. She learning that there are two sides to every story and only she can let it keep hurting her or reconcile her feelings and move on. Lexi has been letting her past inform her present and it’s keeping her from living her best life. Heath to has a painful past but he handles it differently. Watching these two heal and fall in love was heartwarming. The side characters had me doing spit-takes and laughing out loud.

This book can be read standalone.

Writing Mr. Wrong by Kelley Armstrong

 

 

Blurb:

Debut author Gemma Stanton knows romance readers love a bad boy—and she has the perfect prototype for her novel: Mason Moretti. High school hockey god-turned-pro player, Mason was Gemma's first crush, but she couldn't forget the sting of his very public rejection. So, she casts him as a hot-headed Highlander in her spicy new historical romance. She never expected readers would find out on live TV when a morning show host invites Mason for a surprise on-air reunion...

As an aging hockey player with a rep for being ruthless on the ice—and roguish off of it—Mason has an image problem. So, when his meet-cute with Gemma goes viral, Mason proposes they build on the momentum with a few fake dates to boost her book sales...and his sagging profile. But when the fictional flirting gets a little too real, Mason realizes Gemma actually makes him want to become a better man—someone worthy of her trust and her love. 

Will Gemma give him a second chance? Mason knows it's a long shot, but taking shots is sorta his thing, and besides, who loves a redemption arc more than a romance author?

 

My review:

I LOVED THIS STORY! When author Gemma Stanton is told that alphaholes are what is  selling she needs to change her hero type she uses inspiration from the biggest alphahole she’s ever dealt with - Mason (The Mace) Moretti high school hockey god-turned-pro player.

When the high school mean girl sets Gemma up on TV (spoiler she’s still a mean girl) and Mason bails her out life gets interesting.

This second chance rom-com had me rolling on the floor. I don’t know how I ended up feeling sorry for Mason but miracles do happen. I heartily recommend.

Never Run From An Immortal (Immortals Book One) by Victoria J. Price

 

 

Blurb:

Rae Farren has always had a taste for blood. The blood of her enemies, if she’s being specific, but Demesia has been crawling with degenerates for so long the line between friend and foe no longer exists.

War is on the horizon; the fragile existence between humans and the preternatural creatures they share their home with almost at breaking point. With neither time nor luck on her side, Rae jumps at an opportunity to strike a deal with the enemy, even though nothing good can come of their alliance.

Born a bastard Vampire, Aidan Vale has ruthlessly fought his way into his seat of power, but power always comes with a price. He’s sampled most of what Demesia has to offer, but every drop has been like ash on his tongue since his magic was stolen from him, a secret that’s becoming more and more difficult to hide from those who would try to rob him of his throne.

When a foul-mouthed thief offers a bargain with him, Aidan has nothing to lose by accepting. Rae could either be his redemption or his damnation, but refusing her might just be too great a risk.

As sparks fly and tempers flare, one thought alone drives him to see their deal through: know thy enemy.

Set in a corrupt world of magic, technology, and deceit, Never Run From An Immortal is a dual POV, enemies to lovers, urban romantasy between a foul-mouthed Witch and a Vampire Lord. Perfect for fans of a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, and morally grey main characters.

 

My review:

Never Run From An Immortal grabbed my attention from the title onward. This tale features a complex female lead that fascinated me from the very first page. Rae has more than her fair share of secrets and getting involved with a Vampire Lord isn’t the safest way to keep them. We’re kept guessing throughout and I enjoyed the ride. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Carri's Critters (Crafty Littles Book 1) by Cooper McKenzie

 

 

Blurb:

Forced from her family home, Carri is desperate to help her family in any way she can.

Which is how she finds herself at Littlepalooza, with a table full of her favorite handcrafted little animals to sell.

And secretly hoping to find a Daddy of her very own.

Enter Dr. Rooker St. James, the tall, gorgeous silver fox who takes an immediate interest in Carri—and her critters.
Everything about Rooker screams Daddy Dom, especially the way he takes care of Carri when she falls and hurts her ankle. From a trip over his knee to the screaming pleasure he gifts her with during their short time together, he’s everything she’s ever wanted in a Daddy.

But Carri’s sisters are the very definition of overprotective and overbearing. And unless she can learn how to stand up for herself to the two people she cares about most, she risks losing out on the love of a lifetime…

 

My review:

Carri's Critters is an adorable tale of an introverted young woman with poor taste in men and a healthy attachment to yarn of all types. She escapes into her imagination and crafts undemanding friends. I fell in love with Carri alongside Rooker. Looking forward to her sisters tales as well.
