5 STAR READS
MY FAVORITES!!!
To rate a 5 star rating on this site it has to be SPECTACULAR. The book has to meet certain criteria, the main criteria being it has to BLOW MY MIND! I have to feel the characters pain/joy/confusion/angst, stay up all night finishing it (even if tomorrow is a work day), my husband has to complain that I have "my nose burried in a book all day/night" and I have to mourn it when its finished. If a book can do that it gets 5 stars from me.

Archer's Voice
by: Mia Sheridan
Archer’s Voice was one of the most heartwarming and uniquely beautiful stories I have ever read. Mia Sheridan’s ability to convey strong emotions and vivid imagery through her writing is absolutely captivating. This was a gorgeous tale of survival and the healing power of love. I strongly encourage everyone to read it and to meet one of the most wonderful book heroes ever — Archer Hale ♥ 5 STARS!!

At Peace (The 'Berg, #2)

Darker, grittier read then some of the other KA books out there, but boy was it awesome! Same alpha maleness, same strong, surviving, gritty heroine, thrown together with a lot of mystery and intrigue. Terrific book!

Bad Romeo
by: Leisa Rayven
SQUEE!! I absolutely LOOOOVED this book!!! It’s easily a top favorite of mine. 5 STARS all the way for me!!! It was just this INTENSE “hate-to-love-each-other”, dysfunctional-but-can’t-stay-away, love-you-forever-no-matter-how-painful type of love story. It just had this SPARK to it that made my heart RACE!! A second chance romance with a moody, brooding, tortured bad boy hero. I highly recommend it!!!

Kyland

SQUEEEEE!! This amazing book is the newest standalone in the Sign of Love series (but completely unrelated to any other book in the series). I finished it in one sitting and absolutely LOVED it!!!! True to Mia Sheridan’s style, it was completely unique too. A heart-wrenching, beautifully written story about hope, sacrifice, and the strength and endurance of true love. It kept my heart racing and I just couldn’t put it down!! A must-read!

Lick (Stage Dive, Book 1)
by: Kylie Scott
I’d been wishing for a new rock star book and this one hit the spot and rocked my world!! It starts off with with the heroine waking up one morning with a killer hangover and painfully fuzzy memories, in bed with a gorgeous, heavily inked rock star whose name is now tattooed on her body and a giant sparkling diamond on her finger. C’mon, tell me don’t want to know what happens next!
“So congratulations. You’re married to a rockstar.”

Be sure to read these books in order: #1 Bad Things, #2 Rock Bottom, #3 Lovely Trigger. —

Once again, Colleen Hoover has delivered an emotionally charged masterpiece that will capture your heart! Music lovers will also be able to enjoy a soundtrack that accompanies this novel.

The Raven (Florentine, Book 2)
by: Sylvain Reynard
Amazing paranormal read by the incredible author that wrote one of my favorite series Gabriels Inferno. Characters from that book make an appearance in this series as well, and they are a welcome sight. The story has the same intelligence, descrptions of art and tone of the Gabriens Inferno Series. I absolutely loved it. Is it by no means a comedy, but there are sweet moments that you cant help but enjoy.

The Will (Magdelane, Book 1)
by: Kristen Ashley
This book was pure GOLD!!!! My heart was racing the whole way through. I was so totally wrapped up in the story!! I love love loved Jake!!!! Talk about ALPHA!!!! Honestly, Jake & Josie are one of my favorite KA couples of all time now. The best way I can describe this book is EPIC — epic emotions, epic story, epic romance!!! This book reads as a standalone romance so if you’re new to Kristen Ashley books, you can start with this and, if you’re already Kristen Ashley fans, you’ll understand when I say this is “Vintage KA“ style!! 5 STARS!!
