Book Review: Cole by Christine Donovan

Cole Jackson is a rock star who went to prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Reading books by author Shannon Gallagher got him through his days. Cole and Shannon meet and their story begins.

I really enjoyed this book! I visualized what was going on immediately and got lost in the story. I appreciated how this was a love story with characters in their 30’s too! What made it really enjoyable was the many conflicts taking place throughout the book at once. (If everything was smooth sailing what a boring book it would be.) Donovan knows how to keep you engaged until the very last page.

If you’re looking for a contemporary romance book to read, pick up Cole by Christine Donovan today! (It’s book 1 in A Standish Bay Romance series).

Hooked me from page 1!

What happens when you step foot in your brand new home only to find out you can never, EVER. leave? That’s what happens to Savannah Miles in Jinxed.

I honestly think this would be a really cool Netflix series. It’s such a unique idea and kept me intrigued.

If you’re looking for something new that’s super super steamy, give Jinxed a try. Can’t wait to read some more by Torri Heat.

Book Review: Daisy and the Missing Mona Lisa by J.T. Allen

Can Daisy solve the puzzle of the Missing Mona Lisa?

Twelve year old Daisy is in Paris, living with her Aunt Mill. She spends some time with Felix helping him clean out a collection of items he has, and one of those items happens to be a replica of the Mona Lisa…or is it? Lol, I don’t want to give too much away, since this is a mystery and all. Reading Daisy and the Missing Mona Lisa reminded me of my youth and reading a Nancy Drew book! I enjoyed accompanying Daisy in her newest adventure with friends by her side. I appreciate how self sufficient Daisy is, traveling Paris by herself, taking the metro, and even getting dinner on her own. If you haven’t read the books yet, this can be read as a stand-alone, but I do recommend reading the full series but a better comprehension of the book. All in all, a great read!

I received a free copy of this book from the author. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

It just so happens as luck would have it, that I have a Mona Lisa replica myself, painted by my grandmother-in-law. 🙂

She’d walk through fire to save their world. To claim her, he’d let it all burn.

Her widowed heart freshly healed, Lavinia wants nothing more than to bind herself to Ivan, the man who adores her fatherless sons almost as much as he loves her. Then duty calls her to risk their future and return to a life she’d fled — to a man who wants her as much as she fears him.

Tasked with escorting Lavinia back to the land of her birth, Ivan pledges his heart along with his protection. He’ll have his mark upon her within days. But no sooner do they arrive than her previous life threatens to tear her away forever.

Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Lavinia would do anything to redeem herself and save her people. Consumed by desire, Ivan must decide if passion is worth more than the survival of his race.

Duty or love? They can’t have both.

She never thought to find love. He never thought to keep it.

Sold to whoremasters by her own husband, Tysha flees into the night with pursuers hot on her trail. For once in her life, the gods show mercy and deliver her to Erik the Tempered, a man as wild as he is noble. With him, Tysha’s long-dormant heart awakens, helplessly drawn to the quiet, enigmatic man who seems content to keep his distance.

Obligated to choose a bride for himself, Erik has spent weeks in half-hearted pursuit of a woman. Any woman will do, so long as he can easily say goodbye. However, fate brings him an unexpected bride, as nervous as she is lovely. With each passing day, Erik realizes his timid bride conceals the heart of a lion and finds it harder to turn from her sweet touch and haunting green eyes. But loving her comes with a great price: his family, his home, his purpose.

Soon Erik and Tysha will discover both the reward and cost of unconditional love.
