ER Book Review:

I have read several of Mindy Klasky's books and have enjoyed them all. I liked the small town feel of this latest series and I cannot wait to read more from Harmony Springs. I really liked the link to her Diamond Brides Series in this book and I do recommend reading those books of hers as well.

ER book review:

I thought this was a pretty good book. It was a little different but enjoyed the characters and the story. I liked how Max worked with Hallie and all of the others and the way that part of story was woven in. My favorite character was Rand and it would be great to see a story around him.

39. Dirtiest Secret by J. Kenner - 5 stars.

ER book review:

I have always liked books by J, Kenner and this one did not disappoint! At first I did not know if I would like it but it pulls you right in and I cannot wait to read the next one that comes out in July. I usually try to read all books in series order and did not realize that there was a Novella that introduced Dallas with Nikki and Damien, it is the Deepest Kiss: A Stark Ever After Novella. I then realized that I missed the series on Jackson Steele and now will need to go back and read that one. So, if you are like me and would rather read in order then I would read the other books prior to this one but don't miss on out this one.

46. Nashville By Heart by Tina Ann Forkner - 4 1/2 stars.

ER Review:

I enjoyed this book about romance and magic. I received this as a Library Thing Early Reviewer and realized it was the second book of the series. I did get the first book and read that one before reading this one. You do not need to read them in order but the first one was just as good so I recommend reading them in order. I am looking forward to reading the next one of the series.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book. When I found out it was the 3rd in a series I did read the other 2 books before this one. While I think you could read this as a stand alone but if you are like me, I need to read it in order. I also enjoyed the other two a lot. I think this is a great romantic suspense series and I highly recommend it.

74. Close to You: A Fusion Novel by Kristen Proby - 4 stars.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this second book in the Fusion Series. I did pick up the first one and read it prior to reading this one and really liked that one also. If you are looking for a good romance then this is a great series. I liked the story line and the development of the characters. I do recommend reading them in order, but then again I always need to read them in order or it drives me crazy. I cannot wait until the third book comes out next year!

75. Forged in Smoke by Trish McCallan - 4 stars.

76. Theory of Magic by Patricia Rice - 4 stars.

ER Book Review:

This is the 3rd book in the series of Unexpected Magic. I have had the pleasure of reading the other 2 and I have enjoyed reading all of them. I have enjoyed all of the characters and while not really like Ash in the first ones I thought he turned out to be a pretty good guy for Christie. I do recommend this series to others and I would read them in order.

ER Review:

This book was alright. I did like the story line but at times I felt lost with trying to follow what everyone was and who tied together with who, but maybe it was just me. I will keep an eye out for the next book in this series and give that one a try.

105. I See You by Molly McAdams - 4 stars.

ER book review:

I have read a few other books from Molly McAdams and I will be reading more in the future. It was a quick read that brought laughs along with some tears along the way. I highly recommend this book if you like romance and some conflict. I will be looking forward to reading the another book by her soon.

106. Crazy Little Thing (A Bell Harbor Novel) by Tracy Brogan - 4 stars.

107. Orcas Intrigue by Laura Gayle - 3 1/2 stars.

This was an ER book:

I thought that this book was okay. It had enjoyable characters like Camille and Jen. It did take me a little bit to get into the story and when I finally did it ended. I think I will need to check out the next book to see what happens next.

106. Evil Genius by Patricia Rice - 3 1/2 stars.

ER Book Review:

When I received this book to read and review I realized it was #4 in the series and I hate reading books out of order. I ended up getting the first 3 and read them first. While I do not think you need to read the first 3 to enjoy this one I do highly recommend it reading them in order. I enjoyed this one the most so far and I hope that there will be more. I do have to say the first book in the series was a little slow at first for me but each book did get better. I do enjoy Ana and her siblings and of course Graham.

113. Worth the Wait (St. James) by Jamie Beck - 4 1/2 stars.

114. Always: A Novel by Sarah Jio - 5 stars.

ER book:

This book is now at the top of my favorite list. The characters seemed real and the story tugged at your heart strings in more then one way. I only wish that there was more to the story near the end, but that is probably because I did not want it to end. I highly recommend this love story!

115. Worth the Trouble (St. James) by Jamie Beck - 4 1/2 stars.

116 - 120. Shattered Hearts, The Complete Series by Cassia Leo - 5 stars.
