Tinsel (Lark Cove #4) by Devney Perry @DevneyPerry

Oh boy. This is what I needed. A romance where two imperfect people find that when everything looks impossible is when the best things can come out of all the craziness.  You have to set aside preconceived notions and just feel. Sometimes our heart truly knows best.  Sofia was an imperfect heroine who made mistakes and learned from them. This was a long process but it was believable. Dakota was a hero who has loyalty ingrained so deep that he's at times afraid to trust his own heart. When family is the glue that's sticking you in your own rut it's so hard to break free. Yet finding that perfect balance where you can fall and fall together yet be true to yourself at the same time, that's true peace. Dakata had the pressure of the world on his shoulders. Sofia had the weight of her mistakes bearing down on hers. Together they lifted that heaviness and settled into beauty, together. Two halves and became one whole. I loved every page and adored all the glimpses into the previous couples.

What The Wind Knows by Amy Harmon @aharmon_author

This was a story that encompasses so many beautiful emotions. It's fantasy yet the connections are so real that I forgot all about the fantasy as I was transported along with the characters to the beautiful land of Ireland and I simply didn't want to leave. From war torn lands to precious family homes and heartwarming friendship Amy penned heartache, mystery and romance in a way that simply filled my heart to the brim. Thomas was a character that I'd call compassion, he's pure compassion. He had this heart that's so big. There was this undeniably profound sense of strength deep beneath the skin and it poured over into his connection with Anna.  Then of course Anna, our strong and brave Anna. To be swept away into the unknown, past, future, lies, truth. And she remained pure steel. I loved her. Than many facets of Eoin and Mick. Those two characters really are scene stealers. So many secondary characters that truly will steal every page they're on. Sometimes life is only lived when you've lost enough to appreciate what you've got. Amy shows how our roots can dig deep and ground you but they can even lift you higher and help find right where you were meant to be.  Please give this amazing story a chance to touch your heart.

Burning For Autumn by Freya Barker

What a thrilling and passionate story. I love my romantic suspense and Freya Barker is a queen of balancing romance with knuckle biting mystery and action. Autumn is truly a fitting name for our feisty heroine. Red-head, head strong and independent. She's got layers and only the added strength of Keith can get under. He's strong too yet loyal and protective. This community Freya built up seemed homey and inviting. I loved all the secondary characters and really can't wait for more. This couple showed how sometimes strength is better when you're a team as it solidifies and increases the foundation your building. Great epilogue. 5 stars Freya, loved it. View all my reviews

Irish Crown by Nashoda Rose @NashodaRose

I will say this is proof that waiting for a story is worth every second when you trust the author. Nashoda Rose captured my heart a few years ago when Logan pulled me off my feet and slammed into the world of Tear Asunder. Every single story since then has sliced open that heart and stuffed more goodness inside.  There's nothing I love more than a hero who is persistent and sure of what he wants. Deaglan was that and more. He's gruff, rude at times but most of all loyal and protective of who he cares about. Eva survived, she rose from the ashes. She had scars yet she didn't let them hold her back from taking a chance with a stranger. One night showed Deaglan that some people are just going to be the right ones at the right time to shake your very foundation. This beautiful man in all his scarey brokenness found peace and beauty when he let Eva in. Nashoda knows how to balance her love story perfectly with her suspense and this story will take you on one hell of a ride. You'll see some favorites along the way and find some new ones too. I feel a little sadness knowing I need to wait again for more but at the same time my hearts so full I know she's given me something good to hold on to until then.

Until Cobi (Until Him #3) by Aurora Rose Reynolds @AuroraRoser

First of all I usually don't comment on covers because for me they aren't as important as what's inside. But for some reason Aurora picked the absolute best cover that portrayed the explosive personality of Cobi Mayson. Cobi took me back, all the way back to the days where  romance heroes were truly good men. , claiming and honoring their heroine all with the deepest loyalty and true depiction of love there is. Cobi was just a good man.  Hadley truly never stood a chance. There was just the right amount of hesitation on her part which sets us up for the pursuit and this author knows how to give a hero who goes after what he wants.  I adored the cameos of my former favorites. I definitely loved all the sexy times. This is authentic low angst ARR at its best.
