Review ~ SANTA, BRING MY BABY BACK by Cheryl Harper

After trying her hand at acting, modeling, dog grooming, and a dozen other odd-jobs, fortune hunter Grace Andersen thought for sure she’d nab a rich man. But dumped in a Memphis hotel chapel and strapped for cash? Grace needs a Christmas miracle—and a job—fast!

In walks Grace’s real-life hero to save the day: straight-laced Charlie McMinn, the hotel chapel’s Elvis-impersonating officiant who, as of late, has had a hard time of getting into the holiday spirit. For him, Grace is a breath of fresh air. And when she asks for his help, Charlie decides to stick around his mother’s hotel a little bit longer…especially if it means helping Grace get settled.

With a rocky start to their relationship, Grace isn’t too sure what to think of sexy, resilient Charlie, except that she can’t deny the attraction between them, or how good it feels to finally fit in somewhere. As a can-do gal with a strong personality, she’ll have to choose whether she’s ready to give Memphis a chance—and if she’ll surrender to a love that tugs at the heartstrings. SANTA, BRING MY BABY BACK is a feel-good story filled with Harper’s trademark ingredients: humor, passion, charm and quick wit—with a dash of The King, of course!

The two friends strike a deal to help one another out.

5 Star Review ~ MEETING HIS MATCH by Katee Robert

When New York matchmaker Addison St. Claire is tasked with matching her best friend’s new brother-in-law, she almost refuses. But the sexy southern CEO turns out to be a challenge she can’t resist, because if anyone needs to meet his soul mate, it’s this man. And if matching him with someone else removes the temptation of being near him? Even better.

The last thing Caine McNeill needs is a matchmaker—especially a gorgeous redhead who spouts nonsense about soul mates, critiques what he drives and how he dresses, buys him a dog, and pesters him about a million little things he couldn’t care less about. It’s a crying shame he has to keep his hands off because chemistry like what’s flaring between them ought to be explored. Thoroughly.

And so the battle begins. Addison is determined to stick to her plan of setting him up on dates with other women, and Caine is equally determined to ignore these women and seduce her.

Paranormal Romance Review ~ VEILED TARGET by Robin Bielman

Never take Fate along on a date. The kiss goodnight could be deadly.

Tracking down Veilers—non humans—is only a sideline for Tess Damon. Vengeance for her fiancé’s murder is her reason for living. But with two botched jobs on her record, if she fails to eliminate her next mark, she’s dead. She’s not afraid to die, but not before she gets even. Too bad fate has a really bad sense of humor.

Hugh Langston, a wolfen half shifter, lives to keep both humans and his pack safe. But when rogue humans kidnap his apprentice, his rescue mission is compromised by a hot-as-hell, kick-ass woman who makes him think only one thing: mine.

Tess tries to ignore her feelings, but temptation trips her up. Especially when Hugh figures out he’s her next target and forces her into an inconvenient alliance that tests all the laws against their attraction. Now, with the line between good and evil getting blurrier by the minute, it becomes clear Tess’s only hope of living to see another day—and finding a murderer—lies with the one man she’s supposed to kill.

Warning: Contains one obscenely hot alpha and the woman who wants to love him before she kills him. Look out for a blind date, scorching sex, humor, lies, and untamable attraction.

Review ~ DREAMS, INTERRUPTED by Holly Gilliatt

Maybe having dreams and getting what you wish for is all a load of crap.

It took Karen years to let the walls she’d built up finally start to crumble down. Never one to hope and dream, now she remembered why: it was just setting herself up for disappointment. Although she hadn’t considered herself mother material, after marrying the one man in her life who had never let her down, she actually started to think having a baby was a splendid idea…if only she could get pregnant.

One of her best friends, Jayne, was the poster child for dreams fulfilled with the wonderful family she’d always imagined. Perennially cheerful, Jayne believed in happily-ever-afters, looked for rainbows and Karen figured she could probably conjure a butterfly on demand. But while Jayne plastered a smile on her face, she was drowning in a sea of diapers and domesticity.

Claudia, with support from her friends, had managed the role of single mother after her divorce with her usual grace. Scarred from the breakup she never saw coming, she submersed herself in raising her daughter and was content to stay away from men and the potential for another broken heart. Or was she…?

Dreams, Interrupted is a story of three best friends that ride the often bumpy road of their dreams together—potholes and all.

A woman who thought she could run away from her past...

At fourteen, Kate Collins ran away from home. Ten years later, her mother has disappeared without a trace. Faced with no other choice, she returns home. Kate’s convinced her stepfather’s responsible, but he’s a highly decorated police officer. Who will take her accusations seriously?

After making rudimentary enquires, he’s told Kate’s mother is on a cruise. The information pans out. On the verge of closing the case, Riley is taken by surprise when he receives a subtle threat from his boss, the new Police Commander, to leave Kate’s stepfather alone.

Why would the new Commander feel the need to warn him off? With his instincts on alert, Riley digs deeper and discovers not only is Kate’s mother in a wheelchair, she also hates the water.

Is Kate telling the truth? Is her stepfather, the former Police Commander, guilty of murder? Or is Riley allowing the sad vulnerability in Kate’s beautiful eyes to cloud his judgement?

Providing medical relief in a war-torn region helps Alex Peters forget his past and focus on the job—delivering babies.
