I haven’t read the “On Dublin Street” series, but have a couple of them in my library to be read. So “Moonlight On Nightingale Way” is the first read for me. The beauty is that it can be read stand-alone and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe this is the last in the series. And Samantha Young did what she’s so good at, an engrossing and captivating love story for Logan and Grace.

MoonlightOnNoghtingaleWay-SamanthaYoung-Jun2015

Logan is trying to build back his life after a stint in prison, and Grace made sure she has miles of distance between her and her manipulative family. They end up as neighbors and the first sight and talk doesn’t go well between them. Yet there are sparks and instant chemistry. But the past brings a daughter into Logan’s life and turns it upside down and Grace unwittingly ends up in the equation.

“Moonlight On Nightingale Way” is a captivating read as Logan and Grace try to get past the shadows of the dark. It is a wonderful story of two people standing for what they believe in, that relations are necessarily not made through blood, but can be bond with a heart. With friends and siblings to support, and the promise of a future that can be made, Logan and Grace stand united as Grace finally stands up to her family and Logan becomes a caring and endearing father to his daughter.

Samantha Young weaves an emotional story of friendship and support, insecurities and fears, and the strength of love.

I haven’t read Alexandra Ivy’s The Eternal Guardians Series, but am very familiar with her Sentinels Series and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them. Having said that, it did take me more than normal time to get acclimated to the characters and “When Darkness Ends” turned out to be an enjoyable read.

WhenDarknessEnds-GuardiansOfEternity3-AlexandraIvy-May2015

Cyn as the head of the Vampire clan in Ireland goes head to head with the Chatri princess Fallon when they are recruited by the Oracle to help find the strange behavior of the members of the commission. Vampire clashes with a fairy princess, beauty and brains collide with power and arrogance, lust and passion turn their world upside down as they try to fight the scorching flames of love.

There is so much going on in the story and it keeps you entertained to the very end. Cyn and Fallon are perfect for each other, supporting each other and watch each other’s backs as the worlds goes to war around them.

Fun, entertaining, charming and loaded with an amazing array of paranormal, “When Darkness Ends” will keep you engaged until the last page.

I’ve missed Hope Falls and it’s totally orgasmic to revisit it and the wonderful characters have made the Hope Falls Series memorable and unforgettable.

The sister duo of Melanie and Shawna take the readers back to Hope Falls, to Shelby Kellan and the sexy and private Levi Dorsey. Shelby is coming back home to the safety of her family and the support of her friends, to escape a traumatic and abusive breakup. Hiding the truth from family and wanting to recuperate emotionally as she decides her future, Hope Falls is the perfect safety net. Or so she thinks until she faces Levi and ends up working in his bar.

PerfectKiss-HopeFalls9-May2015

The quiet and private ex detective Levi Dorsey wants to keep his life that – quiet and private. And private with his thoughts of Shelby and the perfect kiss they had shared more than a year ago. A kiss that had ruined him for any other woman, and an attraction and lust that only Shelby can cure. And working together everyday puts him on the edge of a precipice!! And his love for Shelby would always have him keeping her under his protective embrace.

Another simple, charming and a perfect love story, with all its imperfections, Melanie Shawn weaves magic to my heart’s content with Shelby and Levi. The detective in him realizes the pain behind Shelby and yet gives her the space to trust him enough with her fears. As for Shelby, as educated and savvy she may be, it takes courage and immense strength for any woman to break away from domestic abuse. She needs support, love and the security of family and friends, to protect and help her mend and as that abused woman Shelby is just perfect.

Captivating and charming, sizzling and hot, emotional and intense, “Perfect Kiss” is simply a perfect love story that would appeal to the heart and leave a smile of pure happiness.

Book 4 in ‘The Oil Barons Series” is another heartfelt romance as the best angel with broken wings meets her guardian, savior and her salvation.

RescuingAnAngel-OilBarons4-AnnJacobs-May2015

World-class surgeon Dan Newman falls hard for the Texas beauty Gayla Levine in Ann Jacob’s “Rescuing An Angel”. Dan overcomes a crippling trauma and puts his energy in saving and giving a new lease of life to the broken and true to his nature, he literally steamrolls into Gayla to be her savior and partner.

Gayla Levine has been to the ends of the earth and back, struggling with a relationship broken, dreams unfulfilled and a father who disowns her. Yet she fights hard to make a career out of her broken dreams, helps people build their strength and confidence, and all the time she draws her courage from the support and love of Dan.

This is truly an emotional story of a fallen angel, building her identity, trying to mend bridges with little hope and struggling to accept that true love does exit and it can be unconditional. I like Ann Jacobs more and more, as I read her books more often. She’s given Dan and Gayla strong personalities and their characterization is true to form. It’s wonderful to visit with characters from her previous books.

No matter how many times I say, it still would not do justice to this super sumptuous, utterly delicious and sizzling love stories that would leave us breathless and sheer pleasure. Talk about brilliant talent under the sky, coming together to make this an irresistible read – Violet Duke, the sister duo of Melanie Shawna, Bella Andre, Melissa Foster, Erin Nicholas, Carly Phillip, Lauren Blakely, Sawyer Bennett, Jessie Evans and Crista McHugh.

And if I start reviewing each book, it would run pages ;). So I’ll try to stick to a condensed version of some the ones I’ve read so far and with no order of preference –

LoveLaughterSteamyEverAfter-Release-May2015

Can’t Help Falling In Love by Bella Andre: Book 3 of the infamous Sullivan family and Bella’s crowning glory, Gabe Sullivan rescues Megan Harris and her daughter from a fire and loses his heart and soul to these two beautiful ladies. A sweet, charming and sizzling romance that we can’t help falling in love with.

Out Of Bounds by Erin Nicholas: Part of the Boys Of Fall series that is a standalone, Jackson Brady returns to Quinn, TX to help his ailing high school coach and falls out of bounds with his one time nemesis Annabelle. Old hurt and past love, embers of passion still sparkling between them, Jackson and Annabelle set our hearts on fire.

Love, Tussles And Takedowns by Violet Duke: Book 3 of the Cactus Creek series, Violet Duke charms the pants off her readers with her delightful story of Hudson Reyes and Liana Lin. Ex-combat military veteran meets the arms and martial arts dynamo and what we get is a barrel of fun, laughter, love and the unconditional support and strength of family and community.

Dare To Desire by Carly Phillips: Book two of the Dare Series, Carly Phillips fires up her writing a notch as she throws quarterback Alex Dare into the path of Madison Evans. Retired early due to an injury, the chip-on-a-shoulder Alex is drawn to his past with Madison, as she struggles to keep him at arm’s length. They sizzle, they charm and they leave us wanting more of them.

Falling For The Wingman by Crista McHugh: This was the first book of Crista McHugh’s that I read and was utterly taken in by the savvy tomboy Alex Leadbetter, who gets turned on by cars, and the only other person who can twist her insides is Air Force pilot Caleb Kelly. And Caleb is hell bent on getting this sister to be his side forever. Book 3 of the Kelly Brother Series, the Kelly brothers are a force to reckon with and you’ll fall on love with Jasper!!!!

Actually Love by Melanie Shawn: What can I say about this sister duo. They write sinful love stories and their Crossroad Series is just as popular as them. Book 7 of the Crossroad Series, Actually Love brings PR Jessie Sloan and sculpted boxing champion Zach Courtland under one roof as they fake their relationship for mutual reasons. But living together, love actually lands a hard punch and knocks their hearts out. So can they put their insecurities and fears outside the ring and be together forever? Alluring and an endearing love story of romance and meddling Sloan family.

And I’m sure the other four books by Melissa Foster, Jessie Evans, Lauren Blakely and Sawyer Bennett are equally captivating, delightful and utterly delicious (yet to finish the rest). I’ve read their books before and they have been on my list of favorites for a while now.

Love, Laugher And Steamy Ever Afters is worth the weight in gold!
