Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Running on Empty (Mending Hearts, #1) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
So I'm currently reading my backlog of books--the ones that have been on my kindle since late 2012/early 2013.
And I have to say why did I not read this sooner?! I loved it.
4.5 stars, instead of 5 simply because of all the giggling. I think even Blake giggled at one bit, which made me laugh but seemed rather surreal.
The story itself, though... God, I'm a sucker for a good romance and this was so heartfelt. He'd loved her forever and she ended up with someone else, so for them to get a second chance... *sigh* I was having a good swoon over this one.
I'm not always a fan of children in my romance books but how could I not love these three? They were adorable! I couldn't stop smiling/laughing throughout at some of the stuff that came out of the kids mouths and just in general.
This was definitely something I enjoyed and I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Cross My Heart (Hearts, #5.75) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
This has been borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited library.
This one follows Liam, the youngest Cross brother, and Iris, a waitress at Liam's older brother's restaurant. It seems Liam has been watching Iris for a while, almost from the start of her time working for Lee and has been intrigued by her. Iris is homeless and struggling for every penny she earns so she can begin renting someplace. She acts tough and stays disconnected from her colleagues as she doesn't know how they'll take her living situation but then Liam takes a serious interest in her and she struggles to keep him at length.
This was actually super cute for such a short read. I still love all the Cross family and Liam has changed a lot from that little punk in Lee's story.
I liked the Bowie thing that Iris had going on and that Jareth is my favourite version of him, too. I love Labyrinth. It's been one of my favourite films since I was a kid.
I'm looking forward to the last book and Trevor's full story.

Into the fire ( Caitlin Chronicles book 2)
By Michael Anderle and Daniel Wilcocks
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Caitlin may have freed her town from evil, but the Governor who oppressed them all is still on the loose.
Now, Caitlin and her merry band of Revolutionaries take to the Mad-infested woods to hunt the Governor down and deliver revenge before he can do any further damage.
But, when they arrive at a town bound under the spell of a strange group known as "The Firestarters", Caitlin starts to realize that this could be a lot more difficult than planned.
It's time for Caitlin to jump out of the frying pan, and into the fire....
I really enjoyed reading this second book in the series it had more depth than the first although I enjoyed that one too! The characters are developing well and I love the dynamic between Caitlin, maryanne and Kain. Looking forward to the next challenge and possibly meeting the pack!

Reign of Mist ( The Oremere Chronicles book 2)
By Helen Scheuerer
The realm's darkest secret is out.
The cruelty of the capital and the power-hungry King Arden have scattered Bleak and her companions across the continents.
On the run in a foreign land, Bleak finds herself tied to some unexpected strangers. When the answers she yearns for are finally within reach, she must face the hard truths of her past and take her fate into her own hands before it's too late.
Meanwhile, secrets and magic unravel as a dark power corrupts the realm. Bleak's friends are forced to decide where their loyalties lie, and who, if anyone, they can trust.
But one thing is certain: War is coming, and they must all be ready when it does.
This is the second book of this is series and it was brilliant I really enjoyed it. The characters have evolved so much and taking on their own trials aswell as coming together when needed. There were a few litte shockers in there too which I won’t spoil! Recommend!

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Date with a Devil (Dallas Devils #1) in Books
Jan 14, 2021
First Read of the Year
258 Pages
Kindle Edition
This light and at times steamy kicked off the start of 2021 with a bang (of bodies hitting the boards, and the clashing of hockey sticks as pucks hit the ice)!
Austen hosts a popular online section for the Dallas Devils, going on "dates" with the players and introducing them to the fans... All went well until it was the turn of jock Dane, an athlete with a reputation for disliking the media and being a fan of the puck bunnies!
What follows for the duo with a great deal of chemistry, is a bumpy road which threatens to impact both of their careers and their relationship!
The first in the Dallas Devils series, and Winters does not disappoint with this contemporary sports romance. It was an easy read with a great deal of depth, well paced and oozing chemistry.
The story progression worked well with Winters' writing style, with added drama from a historical back story which is explained in further books, and a great antagonist.
Hoping book 2 is just as interesting!

A serial killers Desire ( Heart of Darkness book1)
By C.F.Rabbisosi
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
He's a rich bad boy. She's a damaged beauty. Same old story?
Not even close.
Because he's not just gorgeous, he's deadly. He lures women into his deceptive web and tortures them into submission, LOVES them to death, and won't stop until they've fallen for their captor. Won't stop until they've loved him with their last breath.
But this time, he's taken the wrong girl. This time, it could be him who's captured instead, his heart chained by an astonishingly well-matched vixen.
Ok! Ok ok this was one hell of a book. So many times I’ve thought wtf! But I just couldn’t stop reading. It’s far, twisted and oddly sexy as hell! Maybe I need help? This is a new author for me and I read her words about writing dark erotica but I wasn’t expecting to love the story behind all the sex too! I’m genuinely shocked as wasn’t expecting that at all!!

Why did I not read this sooner?!?! It's been idly waiting on my kindle for a few months and jeez, I so should have read it sooner.
It is AWESOME!
Remington 'Riptide' Tate is AWESOME!
Brooke is AWESOME!
Their love story is EPICALLY AWESOME!
I've read so many good reviews for this and I had high expectations for it, and let me tell you it did not disappoint.
The first few pages where there's the build up to Remy entering the ring, I was grinning like an idiot at everyone's reaction and I was waiting for my first glimpse of him. Phwoar! He is HOT! And just reading about how easily he knocks his opponents out...well, what can I say *fans self*.
Then when he meets Brooke's gaze...some really hot chemistry going on there and I was all "Go Brooke, go Brooke, go Brooke!"
These two are probably one of my favourite book couples and I cant wait to read Mine, Remy, Ripped and Raw...eeeeh! Excited!

Devi ( Matefinder book 2)
By Leia Stone
When Aurora found out that the vampires were after her blood to procreate, she thought she knew her mission. Take out the vampires and live happily ever after with Kai and their pack. But when the witches discover something about her, everything changes. Maybe Aurora doesn’t have as much control over her fate as she thought and sometimes allies become enemies. Aurora and Kai must defy all odds if their future is to end in happiness.
This is the second in this series and I loved it more than the first. We catch up with Aurora and Kai and get to see them married and mated fully despite everyone trying to capture or kill her. Leia writes a very easy to follow story as well as building her world and these characters up. They all have more depth than the first book. Aurora also goes on a spiritual trip of self discovery. Also the wolves are out of the closet so it will be interesting to see how the world responds!

The Crow’s murder ( Kit Davenport book 5)
By Tate James
Well, I just can't seem to catch a break, can I?
None of us saw it coming, no matter what precautions we took or how many contingencies we put into play.
What’s the point of having all this power when everyone is out to get me?
They say things are darkest before the light, and that the storm gets worse before it clears. Trust me when I say platitudes don’t do a damn bit of good when you’re in the middle of it.
I’m Kit Davenport, and my heart is breaking.
Holy cow how much can happen in one book! Emotional rollercoaster for Kit and her men but Kit losing Wesley then Johnathan then Lucy I would just give up! She gets Wesley back to lose herself and River! What a bitch of a mother too! I’m looking forward to Kit getting some revenge! I just hope her remaining men don’t get left behind! I enjoyed this book it certainly gave her something to fight for!

Star-Crossed ( Cursed book 1)
By Meg Anne & Jessica Wayne
Skye Giovanni was seven years old the first time death came to her.
She has been haunted by visions of death since she was a child. It is her legacy and her curse. What good is power when you have no control over it?
Detective Lucas MacConnell is being hunted.
Crime scenes with ritualistic murders are starting to pop up everywhere, and the only thing Lucas knows for sure is that the mysterious Skye is at the center of it all.
An ancient power rises determined to end them both.
Thrown together by fate, and a destiny slowly spiraling out of their control, they will have to learn to trust each other or the next deaths might be their own.
Really enjoyed this book! Loved the combination of Druids and Gypsies not something I have come across much! Characters are brilliant all really easy to get along with!
I have already found myself halfway through book 2 without noticing 😁
