Nicole and the Unending TBR

I loved it!!!!!! This book I have learned almost a year ago and have been eagerly waiting for it. And I can say this. It was worth the wait. If you are into fun, lighthearted, romantic, swoony, marriage of convenience with a touch of mystery this is something you will want to check out. I absolutely loved Grace! She was whimsical yet loyal, she is just such a genuine character. Fredrick was absolutely perfect for her. He had a past, and he had some shadows in his life that needed the sunshine Grace brought to life. And the kissing..... This book has kissing. Pepper Basham is a master at building great romantic tension. Have I mentioned she writes great kissing books? This book was everything I expected from Pepper Basham in a marriage of convenience story. One of my favorite reads this year because it's one of those books that left a ridiculous smile on my face and a major book hangover. I highly recommend, to lovers of fun swoony romance. I recieved a complementary copy of this bo...

Okay this is officially my favorite Rachel Scott McDaniel book yet! This book is a split time that is so well balanced between the past and the present. I loved the light thread of mystery and the contemporary just was so good. I loved the romance in both time periods. There were some absolutely adorable and swoony scenes in both that just was my favorite parts of this book. I loved the setting of the riverboat! So interesting how the author used an actual boat for the setting and so you get that peek into the lives of people who lived the riverboat life. If you want to feel transported grab this one, it's a gem. Thanks to Netgally I received a complementary copy of this book. All opinions in this review are honest and my own.

Oh, boy.... If there is one thing I have learned from reading this series is to plan a "recovery time " after you finish each book. This one was no exception.  I love how each book builds more and more into the story.  How much the story has changed since the beginning.  And the new layers and depth that we get in this book of the series.  I can't recommend this series enough.  It has suspense,  it has a complicated multi level mystery thread, it has characters that feel so real, it has a absolutely beautiful love story.  It has everything.  Rem is a character I completely adore,  he is trying to get things right, yet like us,  often messing up.  Yet I cheer so hard for him.  He is complex, relatable and fiercely loyal to his people.  Each book has a killer of a cliffhanger and this one has a cliffhanger that was so intense and so raw.......... It. WAS. INCREDIBLE.  . Desperately eager for book 5! . I reci...

I enjoyed this book so much! This author has a way of sucking me in with complex characters and an interesting plot that has me eagerly reading as fast as I can to see how everything works out. This book centered around a small town and people who were involved in helping survivors of sex trafficking. This book gave a tiny glimpse of some characters stories,  but never too much or over detailed.  Just enough to make it real, just enough to really make you think about what real people have to face. The romance was so good! I loved the meet-cute I loved how they had to work together and I loved how they both had Shadows in their past that they needed to grow from. It has some great kisses which is always a win for me. The chemistry was spot on and the struggle tugged my heart. Loved! I do wish that I got to see a bit more of the hero's spiritual journey but it was good. And this author once again has a villain that I just loved to despise! And twist that I I didn't see coming! A...

Oh my, loved this! Well I absolutely loved Bryson. Broody, protective, backstory and depth.......yes please. This book definitely gave me the feels and I was rooting hard for Bryson the whole time. This author has a great way of handling triangles. Which is such a tricky trope. This book touches on some real feelings, especially for me who has been a Christian for awhile, sometimes we wonder...."why is this happening to me, I have tried to do all the right things ". Darcy had some growing to do and I loved seeing how she fought it at first, then you see how she changes. Bravo Another winner in my opinion! I recieved a complementary copy of this book from the publisher through Netgally. All opinions are honest and completely my own.

Ahh, yes. We get Boone Buckham's story now! He was the guy back in the PJ Sugar series, the loyal guy, that didn't get the girl. I was really excited to see him get his own HEA. And I really enjoyed it. His loyalty is something I loved and him and Vivian were so fun to watch. That first line hooked me from the beginning and I ate this story up! It's fun, with good character growth and a touch of some mystery. If you need a good book to give you a bit of a vacay, I'd recommend this book!

To sum it up in one word.....Epic Seriously,  this book was amazingly epic! You must read Dust first because this book drops you right where Dust left off.  The author did a fantastic job of building off of the world and characters that she created in the first book.  This book is vivid and engrossing,  action packed and deep. I loved how she wove metaphors into this fantasy world that are so relatable in our world.  Because we all wrestle with darkness.  It is so much more intense than Dust so buckle up for a wild ride! I really appreciated how she wove the spiritual message into this story,  my only complaint with the first novel was that the spiritual message was not quite fleshed out as I liked, this one was definitely there it was perfectly obvious to the person looking for it yet it never beat you over the head. It was incredible! Definitely one of my favorite books this year! There was not one thing I didn't like! As someone who doesn't get into...
