Spoiler-free Review of Beating Heart

Beating Heart (Magnolia Falls #4)Beating Heart by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 - 5 Laura, you stole my own beating heart. Beating Heart is the fourth book in the Magnolia series of interconnected standalones.   This small-town romance captivated me from the first to the last page.  Beating Heart was everything I hoped it would be, and then some. I loved the banter and all of Laura's signature small-town sweet vibes. Laura, can you write a Cutler's story once he's grown up? He's my all-time favorite child character. What a personality! That epilogue was epic— thank you. Chef's kiss!

I can't wait to read Finding Hayes on October 24th!

Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann Sprayed edges
Synopsis: 

"Kissing you feels like catching the sun…"


At seven years old, Ella Sunbury and Max Manning were inseparable—until life scattered them in different directions, forcing Ella to abruptly leave town. A decade later, she returns for their senior year of high school, moving in across the street from her childhood best friend.


But she's not the same girl Max once knew.


She now lives in the shadow of her brother: a notorious felon on death row, convicted of a crime that shook the nation. Reeling from the fallout and shunned by her peers, all Ella wants is to fade into the background.


Max has little room for distractions, juggling responsibilities for a disabled father and a distant twin brother. But Ella's return reignites something within him. He wants to be close to her again, to understand her…and to turn their friendship into more.


But as their relationship blossoms, new tragedy strikes, and darkness threatens to tip their delicate balance. In order to find the light, they'll have to navigate the shadows.


And to catch the sun…they must first endure the flames.

Spoiler-free Review for Catch the Sun

Catch the SunCatch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jennifer Hartmann, what have you done to my heart? Catch the Sun was an epic journey of the heart and soul, a coming-of-age new adult romance that sucker-punched me in the feels and owned my heart.  Jennifer's writing was lyrical sunshine, and my heart basked in an ever-lasting orange glow as I turned each page.

Max and Ella's story was as heartbreaking as it was heartwarming, encapsulating every emotion in-between. This story was heartbreakingly beautiful and profoundly painful at times, drawing me in with its raw authenticity. I found myself highlighting so many lines — more than I have in a long time, captivated by Jennifer's evocative prose. Catch the Sun captures the sweet innocence of first love intertwined with catastrophic tragedy and complex family dynamics, making this book unforgettable.

Catch the Sun is undoubtedly one of my top reads of 2024 and might be my favorite book by Jennifer. It's a total Kindle Crack and an absolute must-read.

SYNOPSIS:

THIS ISN'T A LOVE STORY.


THIS IS OBSESSION.


Meredith McCall was once a respected New York City psychiatrist. But the night of the accident she lost everything: her husband, her reputation and almost her mind.


When she crosses paths with the man whom she shares the most tragic connection, Meredith can't help but follow him. How is Gabriel Wright doing so well when her life is in shambles?


Watching Gabriel from afar becomes a compulsion she just can't shake - her newest obsession. But when he walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can't bring herself to turn him away...


Could delving into Gabriel's mind give her the answers that she needs? Or will their relationship set off a chain of events that she can no longer control?

The UnravellingThe Unravelling by Vi Keeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Vi Keeland announced she was writing a thriller, I pre-ordered it immediately, given my love for her contemporary romance novels. Her debut suspense novel, The Unraveling, exceeded all expectations. To be honest, I'm blown away. 

Dr. Meredith McCall's life begins to spiral out of control, leading to a meticulously crafted and chaotic game of cat and mouse. The question of who is the predator and who is the prey, along with their ultimate end game, kept me on the edge of my seat. This seductive and addictive thriller has earned a spot on my Best of 2024 list.

Vi Keeland masterfully weaves a complex web of love, lies, and deception, making this book unputdownable. The Unraveling shook me to my core. After the jaw-dropping plot twist, I had to reread it to search for hidden clues. This novel is one-click-worthy and features one of the most memorable endings I've ever read.

The Sinner by Mani Mann Kindle Book

Synopsis:

A scorching hot, he-falls-first, touch-her-and-die, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …


The first time I saw her, I wanted her.
The second time I saw her, I knew she had to be mine.
Beautiful blonde hair. Cornflower-blue eyes. Body to die for.
All things I knew I couldn’t live without.
But after one night, she ghosted me, leaving me desperate for another taste.
I was usually the one to walk out the door before the morning light came.
This time, it was her, but not without becoming my obsession in the process.
Lily was a mystery.
She had a past shrouded in secrets she was unwilling to divulge.
She was running from something, and I was determined to find out what it was.
And once I did, I’d do anything to protect her.
They called me the sinner for a reason.
Because I wouldn’t hesitate to burn down the world or cross any line to save her.

Spoiler-free Review:

The Sinner (Spade Hotel #3)The Sinner by Marni Mann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars Man, oh, Marni Mann did it again. The Sinner (Spade Hotel #3) by Marni Mann was everything I hoped it would be and then some. I've always wondered what it would be like for Brady Spade to finally fall for a woman and retire from his player ways. Dirty-talking Brady falls for Lily, an unattainable flight attendant with a dangerous stalker hell-bent on causing turbulence.  Brady and Lily's relationship heats up in-flight and between the sheets. Things take a dangerous twist when Lily's stalker tries to make their relationship crash and burn. What a sinfully sexy story that had me flying high for my love of the Spade brothers and this series. One-click this book and this series of interconnected standalones.

Meet Marni:

USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann knew she was going to be a writer since middle school. While other girls her age were daydreaming about teenage pop stars, Marni was fantasizing about penning her first novel. She crafts sexy, titillating stories that weave together her love of darkness, mystery, passion, and human emotions. A New Englander at heart, she now lives with her husband in Sarasota, Florida. When she’s not nose deep in her laptop, working on her next novel, she’s scouring for chocolate, sipping wine, traveling, boating, or devouring fabulous books. Want to get in touch?

Review: Sapphire Scars by Pepper Winters is Live

Sapphire Scars is LIVE and available on Kindle Unlimited.  The Kindle version is showing as available for pre-order and should switch over soon.   PLEASE check out Pepper’s trigger warnings if you have triggers.  Check out my spoiler-free review below.   #affiliatelink

Sapphire Scars by Pepper Winters Kindle

Synopsis:

“I thought I was strong enough to survive this awful nightmare. I did my best to take back my power and refused to let my heart fall. Only problem is…my heart is an idiot.”


It only took one droplet of blood to forever change me.

Her blood.

The taste of it. The heat of it.

I swallowed her down and devoured her.

For a while, it was enough.

My monster was content. I believed I’d found where I belonged.

But now…that droplet is no longer enough.

I want rivers of it. Oceans of it.

I want the world dripping in red and I honestly don’t know who I’m hunting anymore.

Her?

Me?

Them?

One thing’s for certain, someone is going to die today.

I just hope it won’t be me.


Triggers on every warning possible.

This is dark, explicit, and will push every boundary that exists.

Be warned....

And to all those dark souls out there...welcome to The Jewelry Box

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pepper Winters is the undisputed queen of darkness, and Sapphire Scars (The Jewelry Box, #3) is her crown jewel. This book is one of her darkest, most depraved works, and I devoured every twisted page. Brace yourself for an unimaginable journey straight into the depths of hell (and hopefully back).  THE ENDING is one big OMFG moment that will leave you breathless. Pepper eviscerated my heart, and I am dying to see what fate awaits Ily and Henri in the conclusion to the series, Diamond Kiss, when it releases in August. This soul-sucking series has rocketed to the top of my all-time best Kindle Crack list. Pepper, ILY!

Review: Chasing Harlow by Jay McLean

Chasing Harlow by Jay McLean is LIVE and ready to binge-read. Check out my spoiler-free review below. Chasing Harlow is available to read on Kindle Unlimited. 

Chasing Harlow: https://amzn.to/3zfUBzd


Chasing Harlow Kindle Cover

Blurb:

What started as a bet can only end in heartache.

 Moving to the middle of nowhere right before my senior year wasn’t ideal.

Then again, neither was my brother dying. 

The move was supposed to be a fresh start. 

A new town, a new school, a new mindset. 

Too bad my past indiscretions followed me.

Enter Jace Rivera, the literal boy next door. 

Jace is loved by the town. Admired by his peers. Worshipped by his teammates. 

On the basketball court, he’s a god amongst men.

Off the court, he’s… nothing at all like I expected. 

He’s profound and pure and… devastatingly tortured.

Yet somehow, he offers me light while I offer him hope. 

In the end, we’ll either hurt or heal each other.

There’s no in between. 

“Pain is the price we pay for love,” he once told me.

And a broken heart is the consequence of it.

Spoiler-free Review of Chasing Harlow

Chasing HarlowChasing Harlow by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jay McLean, what did you do to my heart? I'm still recovering from an emotional sucker punch in the feels. I almost forgot what the power of Jay's words can do to me. I've waited a long time to read a new book from Jay, and she did not disappoint. Chasing Harlow rekindled my heart's muscle memory of Jay's words.  This emotion-packed YA/NA sports romance is not to be missed. JMac is back!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jay McLean is an international best-selling author and full-time reader, writer of New Adult and Young Adult romance, and skilled procrastinator. When she’s not doing any of those things, she can be found running after her three little boys, investing way too much time on True Crime Documentaries and binge-watching reality TV.

She writes what she loves to read, which are books that can make her laugh, make her hurt and make her feel.


Jay lives in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, in her dream home where music is loud and laughter is louder.
