As always, Annie Nicholas writes such fun-to-read books.  This one puts a different twist on the typical "love story."  The heroine, Gwen, helps her mate, Colby, in so many different ways.  I even loved the minor characters, and I am hoping I get to learn more about them in Annie's next book.

I read this in one sitting!  Could NOT put it down!!!

This book is very moving.  I haven't read many books that involved the main character being a parent and the kids being a big part of the story, but I really enjoyed that aspect. I loved this story about second chances and finding yourself.
Everly is amazing, and easy to relate to and her best friend Gwen is a fantastic friend. Kay is someone everyone needs in their life, I know I sure do!  And Nick, that man!  That beautiful, amazing, heart pounding man.
Dawn is a beautiful writer, her stories grab me and hold on.  I LOVE when that happens. I'm very much enjoying this adventure she's taking us readers on and look forward to reading everything she ever publishes.

I love The Fairfield Series so I was so excited when this book came out! You won't be disappointed with this one click.
I fell in love with Annie's character right away, she is a quite person who has this amazing love for animals. Her vet practice is all she knows and is content with that until Stoney this dark, wild man comes into her life. She is just the sunshine that he needs in his life. Fate has brought them together to help heal them both.
This book made me laugh, cry and even caused my heart to stopped beating for a minute. This has to be my new favorite romance series ever from an author and I look forward to what Maryann has in store for us next. Well done Maryann, thank you for taking me on their journey.

"Nick was like jigsaw puzzle where the most intricate pieces had been misplaced, and deep down I knew that no matter how many times I would shake the puzzle up and start over, those pieces would always be missing and I would never have the complete picture."

Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of those authors who can easily mesmerized her readers with her words, characters, and story-line. In her fifth installment of the Wait For You Series, Ms. Armentrout once again captures her readers attention as she showcases the full spectrum of a beautiful touching love story in Forever With You.

Forever With You embodies a touching and endearing tale of love, passion, and devotion. In this book, we are introduced to Nick and Stephanie, a couple who has this push and pull type of relationship. Together they must learn how to conquer their fears on love and unresolved past issues that affects them from truly moving forward. With raw emotions integrated into the story-line, Ms. Armentrout was able to showcase all facets that love entails from learning to let go, healing, trusting, and opening up one's heart.

"Tell me that you still want to be here. Tell me that you still see a future for us. Tell me that you love me."

I absolutely adored this sweet, tender, and emotionally charged romance. The connection of Nick and Stephanie was passionate, poignant and heart-warming. Ms. Armentrout did an amazing job sprinkling layers of humor, wit, banter, sexiness, steam, passion, and heart. So if you are looking for a book that epitomize a beautiful, palpable, and touching tale of love then I recommend you to read Forever With You.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. In no way did this sway either my review or my rating!

I had so much fun reading this book and I could hardly put it down. The characters, each and every one of them, were refreshing. The storyline was sweet and amusing. It was a little slice of perfection all the way around.

I think the characters were what really puts this book over the top for me. Both Nick and Abby's grandfather, Noah, were so hilarious and playful. Nick in a sort of cocky and flirtatious way that had me enamored of him from the very beginning. His sense of humor and quick wit were something else. And Noah who played the innocent matchmaking meddler stole my heart instantly. I'm going to have to go back and read book one so I can see more of his shenanigans as soon as possible!

And all the girls were equally as fun to read. Abby and her sisters, Ann and Amelia, had a great dynamic to them. I loved their closeness and the way they support and look out for one another. Though from the hints dropped here and there surrounding Amelia I have another huge reason to want to go back and read the first book. I hadn't read the blurb for that one yet so finding out what happened between Amelia and her husband Chad had me both amused and intrigued to read their story. Plus there was a nice little build up with this one to what will potentially be the next book with the last sister Ann. I can't wait to read the other girls stories!

I got wrapped up in this book instantly. I loved the idea behind the bet that Nick proposes to Abby, that he can make her fall in love with him. She was so confident in her ability to resist him and all I wanted to do was shake my head and tell her she had no chance whatsoever. He's just that adorable and their chemistry was practically combustible I have no idea how she was strong enough to resist as long as she did. It's not an easy path to their happy ending. They've both got a few issues to work through. Stuff from their childhoods that have both of them on the love-will-never-be-for-me train. Watching them struggle with their feelings was fun, sweet and swoon worthy. I can't wait to read more from Sonya Weiss in the future, this book was the perfect start!

Thank you Entangled Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!

I really like Erin Nicholas' stories. And I really love the best friends to lovers themes.  This one a lot.  Bree was fascinating to me.  She was full of life, a hard charger, and wanted to do everything.  I hated the parts where she doubted herself, these made me feel sad for her.  She was so vivacious that I wanted to smack Max upside the head.  He was gorgeous, supportive, and a great guy, but he made me crazy at times.  I loved that he wanted Bree more than anything, but I didn't like his doubts.

There was a part towards the end where Bree gave a speech that had my heart swelling and tears in my eyes because what she said was just so beautiful and profound in her relationship with Max.  I loved this story from beginning to end and will gladly read it over and over.  It will be one that I would love a revisit several years in the future.

I LOVED THIS STORY!

Why did I wait so long to read it? It's been on my TBR for freakin ever... The cover alone should have been my first clue... but anyway, I've read it and I'm really glad that I did. Also glad I was alone most of the day because shewww, Riley Hart knows how to write some man love... <wipes brow in rememberance>

Nick is starting over... recently divorced after his wife cheated on him and left him for one of her affairs, he finds an apartment that shares a back yard and garage with his neighbor... His mom is really old fahsioned, she wanted him to move back home with her, but he stuck to his guns and wanted to make a life for himself, by himself. Nick also owns his own resturant aptly named Nick's. I thought that was a nice touch :)

Bryce, all around good-time man, moves into the apartment next door to Nick. Bryce, who's best friends with his ex Christi and close with his family as well, has just gotten over being sick. He's enjoying life and enjoying living it. When he meets his new neighbor, they form a quick friendship. What starts off as a friendship trying to get Nick laid they realize they'd rather hang out with each other. They have fun together, they laugh which is something Bryce does a lot of  and Nick needs to do a lot more of. They needed each other.

There are problems though, one being, they're both straight....until they aren't... two, they both have extremely close families but Nick's mom won't shut up about finding a wife and settling down and Bryce's mom thinks he's in a relationship with Christi. I get the close family aspect and everything, I've always wanted my parents approval and I hate the thought of disappointing them. However, I think these two put too much weight into what their families think, more specifically, their mothers. They're both in their 30's and have careers and their own place.  Why the need to live your life for your mother? I don't understand that. If my parents loved me like they should, it shouldn't matter who I fall in love with. I hated that it took Nick's mom so long to come around and I hated that his sister let her husband dictate wether or not she could be apart of his life. That isn't fair. Who is he to say what someone is doing is wrong.. if it isn't effecting you then how is it your business? I didn't like that.

I did like the way the relationship progressed though, I liked how the sex progressed it felt really real to me, the problems they had with it and how they went about making things better or making things work for them. I know that when people read man on man love it's easy to forget everything and just enjoy it lol but the way things were handled and described, it was genuine and it didn't feel like a story. I love when stories are portrayed how people can relate to them. I'm a 30 year old heterosexual woman and even I could relate with a lot of things in this story. That's how realistic it was.

Overall though, through the ups and downs and confusing times and meddling mothers and every hoop they had to jump through, it was nice to see them jumping through them together. Even when throwing in the towel would have been easier....They fought for each other and was there for each other. It was such a good story. I really really enjoyed it.  It makes me hope for more about these two at some point. I'd love to see them get married and have the children the mothers kept badgering them to have lol that would be sweet.
I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone, it was really really that awesome!

Wow!

I have never read a book with multiple personalities, before. Such a powerful story.

I had a feeling I was going to love this book. But, I was wrong. I FREAKING LOVE THIS BOOK! Oh my goodness, Nicky James is a genius. I wanna hug that woman to pieces.

I'm not going to go into detail about what each character was like, you can get that from the blurb. But, here is what I thought about them.

*Vaughn*
I love this man. He is so kind and understanding and patient and no matter what he had to do, no matter what alter came forward, HE NEVER GAVE UP. He loved so deeply and fought with everything he had

*Oryn*
I wanted to hold this man throughout most of this book. He goes through so much and has no one to hold his hand when it gets hard. We know something bad happened to him when he was a child. Personally, I'm glad Ms. James didn't go into details. Not because it would have bothered me but because it would have taken from what this story was about. While we do get subtle hints, it mainly stays focused on Oryn and his DID.

*Cohen*
Cohen was ready to live life. Always happy and ready to have fun. Now here is where I had a small issue. The intimate relationship between Cohen and Vaughn. At first it made my stomach twist and bottom out. Because to me, it felt like Vaughn was cheating on Oryn. Cohen may share Oryns body, but he is, for lack of a better phrase, a completely different person. So every kiss, every lusty look, every intimate act made me nauseous.  I had to stop reading and put myself in Oryns shoes. I sat on my couch for 10 minutes trying to understand how Vaughn and Oryn could possibly be okay with Vaughn and Cohen as a couple. I did eventually understand. I still feel a little strange about it but I also think it's extremely beautiful that Vaughn has that part of Oryn with Cohen.

*Reed*
I wasn't a fan of Reed at first because he kept pushing Vaughn away. But, eventually everything works out and I love him because he only wants to keep them safe.

*Cove*
Cove was so misunderstood. He's another one I wanted to hold close and make feel better.  Cove holds all of their darkness. And he is so very strong, even if he doesn't realize it.

*Theo*
Theo seems like the glue that holds everyone together. You would think it's Vaughn but I feel that Theo is the one who has his head the most. We don't personally see him much, but we see his mark many times throughout the book.

*Rain*
My sweet little Rain. He sure does love Batman, doesn't he? I love how Vaughn was with him. And while Rain is a happy little boy, it is sad when we see him. He pretty much represents the childhood that was stolen from Oryn.

This was an incredible journey to go on. Not only did I enjoy it, immensely, I learned so much about Dissociative Identity Disorder. Something I never gave a second thought about before.

Thank you Nicky James for sharing your boys with me. I know they will stay with me for a long time to come.

Favorite book of 2018 and I don't think that will change. One of the top 3 favorite books of mine, ever. Really, truly, completely blown away.

This was a new to me author and i loved the blurb, so i gave it a shot. Oh my I couldn't put it down, it was that good!! For me i totally got Katherine's character, Yes PTSD does happen to people outside the military and panic attacks are very severe depending on the person.
Poor Nick, at first he didn't believe Katherine, he thought she was on drugs and that itself made Katherine more determined to set him straight, although at this point they just met, but the definitely had a connection.
From there their relationship just kind of bloomed even if it was like Katherine's progress was one step forward - nine back!! At times Nick was very frustrated with her, thinking she wasn't even trying to over-come her fears. That all changed though after Nick had his own traumatic experience and then he got an idea of what Katherine was feeling most days, even if just a little bit. It was an awesome read, there was anticipation, frustration and true love and heartache.
Great start to this series, I can't wait for book #2

If you don't already know, this is the story of musician/songwriter Nick, who's had his heart broken, and Norah, who doesn't really want to fall in love.

Nick sees his ex (who he's still pining over) come in with a new guy.  With the prospect of her coming over to speak to him, he turns to a girl sitting at the bar and asks her if she would mind being his girlfriend for the next five minutes.

And that's pretty much where their story begins. They both get each other, even though they fight it through most of the book. I love the swoon. I love the feeling that I get when I read practically every word that Nick says. I love their relationship and how they are so perfect for each other. I love that neither one of them backs down. I love the music. I love that it's real and that it's hot. I just love it. I don't know what else to say about this amazing book except I want you to read it.

What a beautiful love story! Although I'm a Christian, I often don't read Christian love stories because they're often preachy and tepid. Not that steamy sex scenes are necessary for a good love story, but the chemistry and attraction definitely need to be there.

I'm so impressed by the way this author (my first book by her) weaves plot, gentle faith (not preachy!) and real-life adult emotions together so flawlessly. Ms. Gist is a skilled writer, and I felt confident diving into her story. I fell in love with sweet Joe and simply adored Anna. Their chemistry leapt off the pages, and I found myself skipping back to read heart-stopping, tender scenes.

It's always a joy to discover a talented writer, and I can't wait to read the next story from Deeann Gist. 5+ stars!

Erin Nicholas has another hit series in her hands!

I tried to read slow, but couldnt. I love these characters already and Ive just finished Cori & Evans story. Where do I begin??? Evan Stone is the lawyer whos overseeing the Carmichael triplets fathers will. New York born & bred, Cori, Ava & Brynn are about to spend a year living together, running a pie shop and try to abide by their fathers wishes on dating, too.

Cori and Evans chemistry takes off from the beginning. But theres some bumps along the way. Cori begins to learn more about their father..a side she didn't get to see since they didn't see much of each other over the years. Shes got an imagination, shes loving and fun, too. Evan has found his sunshine in her and neither of them can resist their attraction. Even while hes pretend dating Ava. Theres some fun times and pies that Ive heard of and not heard of.

Love this small town of Bliss, Kansas and the people that live there. Cannot wait to read Ava and Parkers story next!

My drink of choice which just happens to be Jack and Coke, an author that if she wrote the phone book I would read and a rare day to myself and I was ready to indulge, I mean what is there not to love about that scenariowell let me tell you, not a da*n thing!
Those that know me know that I am an absolute bookwh**e when it comes to Lani Lynn Vales books  Im addicted to her sexy a**ed alpha males and Mig was yet another one to add to my list, boy that guy had brooding down to a fine art.
But ladies, take my word for it you need to get yourself acquainted.
I was a little wary of the storyline at first because from the blurb I thought the story might have had a love triangle going on but I couldn't have been further from the truth because when it comes to the situation between Mig and his skanky a**ed wife, there were many words that could have been used to describe the situation and love was not and never could be one of them.
I didn't understand how he could stand to be around her let alone marry the witch but when all is revealed and I think I fell a little harder, the guy was just fabulous. So honourable in the face of what must have been complete disgust for the woman he felt he had no option but to share his home with. But his domestic situation was playing havoc with his heart because it had its eye set on Annie but with the domestic situation and what I can only describe as a solid moral fortitude neither of them were willing to step across the line into an affair, they are friends albeit with the most amazing attraction to each other but they don't cheat and I was thankful for that, its not something I find that I can tolerate in a story.
Annie fell for Mig the minute he rolled along the main street on his bike and Mig fell that little bit harder when she moved next door. And when you get to know her I can see what it was about her that had him hooked. She had attitude and she wasn't afraid to use it. I loved her sass.
So what does the story have in story for them, well it has so much going on. Once you get your head around Mig and his wife you will then have a whole heap of trouble to assimilate, this really was taking the usual peril, mystery and intrigue to a whole new level.
Oh and a quick word of warning you may want to get your order in for the next book  Vodka on the Rocks because its Casten and Tasha tale and it is going to be amazing I am certain!

Staci Hart does it again! She's pulled me completely into a story with characters I love. It feels like I've been waiting on Charlie's book for a VERY long time, and I was not disappointed. I loved everything about this book. Charlie's struggle with being a single parent and feelings for Hannah.

And, I adored Hannah. She's a breath of fresh air. She has her own issues with feeling like she doesn't fit in, and struggling with what she wants to do with her life.

There were moments I laughed, cried, and wanted to hug these characters. I enjoyed every bit of this ride, and I wish I could go back and read it again for the first time.

I received an ARC from the publisher for an honest review

Going into this book, I had no clue what to expect. I had read the Off The Map series prior by Lia Riley and loved them so I had to jump on the chance to be able to read and review this one. What I found was the most amazing book of rediscovery, selflessness by both Sawyer and Annie and undeniable love and chemistry between these two.
As we follow Annies journey coming back to Brightwater, she is plagued with trying to find herself again. The ups and downs that she faced were so real of a single mom. When she meets Sawyer again, you can feel how much history and chemistry the two have. The banter between the two made me laugh, cry and yell sometimes because both were so stubborn at points. But when they came together it was pure magic. Even with grannys interfering! In the end you have a beautiful story of rekindling first love and being with the one your heart belongs to no matter what happens or what you have to give up to get there.
I found that though this book is third person and had to get back into that groove, it was utterly amazing. The flow of the story, the supporting characters, the flawless descriptions made this book a winner! I laughed so much at points. Is it time for the second one????

This book was a home run for me. As much as I enjoyed Strong Signal, the first book in the Cyberlove series, I absolutely loved Fast Connection. Megan and Santino didn't miss a single beat bringing us larger-than-life dudebro Dominic Costigan and his stoic silver fox Luke Rawlings, and to my mind, their co-writing chemistry was absolute perfection.

The dual POVs of Dominic and Luke were vastly different and not at all confusing, yet it was uncanny how seamlessly the story flowed, considering Santino and Megan were responsible for each POVs. I can only imagine how much fun they had working together.

Speaking of chemistry, the connection between Dominic and Luke was off the charts. The sex was sizzling, as one would expect from these two authors, but the tentative emotional connection between the two MCs was what really hooked me in. That and their hilarious chat transcripts. I could honestly have read those all night.

Dominic really spoke to me as a person, and I absolutely connected with his insecurities, coupled with his charming and sociable side. I also loved Luke's character and how determined he was to compartmentalize everything in attempt to simplify the various aspects of his life. I felt the pairing was absolute perfection, and I loved how everything came together in the end with their various families.

I can honestly say I was sad to finish this book. Even with the awesome bonus short featuring Kai and Garrett from Strong Signal <3
