You need to read book 1 "Agony" before reading " Bliss". This book starts off immediately where the last book left off . The title accurately fits this book. This is a super powerful love story that really had to be broken into two parts. Book 2 is all about Cooper and Reese's bond. Without giving any of the story/spoilers away, how deep their love is and far Cooper would go get Reese and keep Reese by his side. Reese has loved Cooper and her heart is torn..in Bliss, there is this different dynamic between Cooper and Reese than what was in Agony. The tone and feels are much different from book 1. Loved the feels, sweet romance, heat, connection and happiness that shines thru. What an amazing romance read.

Leighton and the team are given whaCovert Games is book six in the Redemption Harbor series by Katie Reus and we finally get Leighton Cannon’s story. Leighton and the team are given what seems to be a legit tip about girls being held hostage. Leighton knows the way to take down the man who is holding the girls hostage is through the man's beautiful niece, Lucy. Hotel/casino manager Luciana Carreras is the niece of a dangerous wealthy man with many criminal enterprises she knows nothing about. Her uncle raised her after the murder/suicide of her parents when she was thirteen. She is very close to her uncle's younger daughter who he has put into boarding school. Her uncle is not a loving, kind person but he did take her in after the death of her parents. Lucy works for her uncle at a hotel in New Orleans. She suspects something bad is going on and has started an investigation on her own. What she isn't expecting is Spencer Johnson, a patron of the hotel, is doing an investigation, too. The difference between the two of them is that Spencer knows what's going on and he and the Redemption Harbor posse are there to rescue girls who are involved with human trafficking against their wills. But the thing is Spencer is really Leighton and he is torn because he finds himself attracted to Lucy and doesn't know where she fits into the mess that is going on in New Orleans. Leighton comes clean with Lucy in a fast fashion, especially when he finds out that she could be a target of her uncle for her uncle is bad news and someone that will kill first and ask questions last. Being a target of her uncle is a pretty bad place to be at. Lucy's life is turned upside down and she isn't sure why her life is like this, especially when she finds out some earth shattering news involving Leighton. They have this intense chemistry that steamed up the pages. Lucy is a sweet, honest, kind and thoughtful person who does good things.

Chasing Vengeance by Katie Reus is book 7 in the Redemption Harbor series and the final installment in this series. I'm so sorry that this is the end Chasing Vengeance by Katie Reus is book 7 in the Redemption Harbor series and the final installment in this series. I'm so sorry that this is the end because this series had it all- suspense, passion, action, adventure, heat, drama, angst, romance and love- the couples that came out of each book was amazing and book 7 is no different. We have Layla and Xavier’s story in Chasing Vengeance. We actually met Layla in a previous RH book after she witnessed her fiancée kill a man. Now in book 7, she has moved to Redemption Harbor and is trying to get past the bad memories and make new friends along with happier memories.She met Xavier and they developed a friendship, one that had her feeling safe. During that time in which their friendship developed she also developed deeper feelings which she fell in love with him. We see as the book starts, that she's cant share her feelings because he wont share her feelings which leaves her feeling down and confused and hurt. She doesn't want to rock the boat on their friendship but will she be able to keep her feelings inside? What she doesn't know is the deep, dark secrets Xavier has that could shatter their friendship if he were to pursue a relationship with Layla. It all pertains to his job. He pulls back and tries to avoid Layla after their last outing but then Layla goes on a date with another man.. cue the fireworks and angry man tantrum. This story has everything that I loved- angst , secrets, push/pull, denied love, action, friendship, love, passion, ... it was truly a great way to end a fabulous series. It was awesome to see previous characters make appearances in this story. I enjoyed the characters, plot and epilogue.

Elle is a older woman who is a bit uptight, bossy and stresses out over way too much. She is a take charge chef who ends up a judge for a cooking show. Austin is the younger, hot stud who is tatted up as the contestant on this show who finds Elle fascinating and wants to rock her world. Theirs is a slow cooker of a romance but when that pot blows, wow, this story is amazing. Normally I am not one who likes the older woman/younger guy reads but this is smart, witty, steamy and sexy. Just a classic example of a good romance. You will love the pace, characters and plot.

He has decided to start over in a new place in order to help his child who was struggling after the death of her mother from cancer. Frederique Marchand also known as Freddy , is a local youth counsellor who supports teens with complex and emotional issues which she uses her dog named Boulder to help her out with this. When Newt asks for her help with his daughter Millie, she immediately lends a hand and strikes up an immediate rapport with the young girl. At first, Freddy’s first couple run ins with Millie’s dad weren’t that good because these two adults clashed and there was this attraction between them that they all but ignored but because they cared about Millie. Their romance was a slow burn romance. It slowly but surely got there. There was some angst, some drama, pain of loss , tension. This was a realistic romance for the H/h are both in their 40s. This is something to be read and enjoyed. I do not want to give any spoilers away but what I will say is this was a heartwarming read that left me feeling good and what a great epilogue.

This is the first romance that I have read by Kelly Jamison that wasn’t a sports romance. Screwed is a steamy, angsty, yet sweet romance about a woman
This is the first romance that I have read by Kelly Jamison that wasn’t a sports romance. Screwed is a steamy, angsty, yet sweet romance about a woman who finds her own self-worth after her divorce and a 2nd chance at love with her ex’s best friend. Callie is recently divorced and starting over. Her family isn’t supportive of anything she has done recently including her divorce because Beau, her ex, was , in their eyes, the perfect husband for their business connections. Cash Hale is Callie’s ex-husband’s best friend and is also her friend. Their friendship escalates to this red-hot attraction, but as the attraction rises so does the obstacles in their way! In this story, we find out Cash has been in love with Callie for years but never acted on his feelings until now. Will Callie and Cash let their romance go all the way for an HEA or will Cash pull back because of his friendship with Callie’s ex? This was a good read, with the right amount of drama, angst, tension and romance.

This is an awesome enemies-to-lovers romance read that features a determined CEO and the fiery shop owner whose property said CEO is trying to buy froThis is an awesome enemies-to-lovers romance read that features a determined CEO and the fiery shop owner whose property said CEO is trying to buy from the sassy owner. I enjoyed the witty banter that was between Cash and Gretchen; how super easy it was for Cash to get Gretchen all riled up and that her strong and emotional reactions only served to fuel and ignite his passions for her. I found myself appreciating Cash’s struggles over his father’s legacy and Cash's desire to follow his own ethics. Gretchen was an intriguing mix for a character. At times I found her to be too judgy on some things yet overall, she was a sassy bit of goods and was someone Cash needed in his life to challenge him. I enjoyed the scenic images painted of the Auras shop and the glimpse into the metaphysical world of Tarot cards and healing crystals . This story is well written, with a fantastic pace and super steamy with angst and drama that is good for this type of romance. If i had to think of anything that could be improved, it would be the length--I think it didn't needed to go on for as long as as the book did. I will say the twist was awesome and I didn't see that coming. As always, I look forward to reading what's next from Ms. Ward.

At times I found her to be too judgy on some things yet overall, she was a sassy bit of goods and was someone Cash needed in his life to challenge him. I enjoyed the scenic images painted of the Auras shop and the glimpse into the metaphysical world of Tarot cards and healing crystals . This story is well written, with a fantastic pace and super steamy with angst and drama that is good for this type of romance. If i had to think of anything that could be improved, it would be the length--I think it didn't needed to go on for as long as as the book did. I will say the twist was awesome and I didn't see that coming. As always, I look forward to reading what's next from Ms. Ward.

Harper's father has a habit of marrying and then getting divorced- the latest marriage has a new wife who has a son named Christopher. Harper and Christopher have this instant spark between them. They have a spark but also there is a dislike between them. Harper attempts to keep things between them cool because things never last long when it comes to her father’s marriages but tragically the unthinkable happens- her father dies. Now Harper is lost in a sea of emotions and doesn’t know where she belongs and what to do. Christopher sees her as a spoiled rich little girl which really isn’t true but in his eyes that may look the case. Harper has such a sweet and huge heart. She is kind and she is so amazing. Harper and Christopher have a short and intense background which relates to an incident on her father’s boat. That’s all I’m going to say…She was 15 at the time. Now 4 years have passed and Harper is 24 yrs old. Four years have passed since Harper’s father died, and made Christopher the executor of her vast trust fund. Her mother is now in remission from cancer and Harper needs some of her money to help her mother acquire a new medicine that's under trial. She is hoping to get Christopher on her side to help her out and sign some of her funds over to her but he immediately refuses to do so. She storms down to his office and goes in to see him where she runs into his business partner Sutton. OMG Sutton..he is such a dirty boy. Not an uptight man. Oh the mouth on Sutton and he wants Harper. Wants to do dirty dirty things to her. Christopher keeps his feeling close to his chest about what he thinks , especially when it comes to Harper. Sutton is a master manipulator and goes and hires Harper re: Historical Society of Tanglewood but don’t rule Christopher out just yet. He is just waiting to make his moves. You don’t see much of Christopher in this book but what you did see of him =wow, the fans had to be used to cool me off. Sutton and Harper were extremely hot and intense in this book. I could just feel how confused Harper was, for she has always had strong feelings for Christopher, dare I call it love? I have to admit, I am torn as to what team I am on- #TEAMCHRISTOPHER or #TEAMSUTTON. I loved both men yet they both have flaws and both have awesome qualities. Its going to be hot to see who ultimately wins Harper’s hand in the followup. This book is steamy, erotic, dramatic, angsty, and action packed. This book has many twists and turns and ends on a cliffhanger. I am dying to find out what happens in the upcoming book 2.
My Rating: 4.7 stars ***** “I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
