Amazon | Goodreads

"On the Honey Side is as heartwarming as it is hilarious. It blends the humor of matchmaking with the heat of a slow burn for a cocktail I can't resist and will beg for time and time again. Sweet, touching, and subtly steamy, it was the perfect romantic comedy to get lost in at the end of a hectic day. An easy five-star and must read of 2022!" - bestselling author Kandi Steiner

No one can ever have Keaton Meyer.
Least of all me.
The brooding construction manager is a man of myth and legend, rarely seen in the wild. Once upon a time, he was the star quarterback, the smiling homecoming king, royalty in our small town. Until tragedy struck. And then he disappeared completely.
Now he’s resurfaced, and I can’t keep my eyes off him.
He’s an island surrounded by lava, bound by a desert and guarded by dragons. I don’t stand a sunshine’s chance in a hail storm.
Our siblings disagree and are out to prove it, nudging us into each other in the hopes we’ll fall. But with our town in tumult and the two of us firmly in the middle, nothing between us is easy. And when he’s faced with an impossible decision, I learn the truth of what I already knew.
No one can have Keaton Meyer.
And I have the broken heart to prove it.

✯✯5 Keaton & Daisy Filled Stars!!!✯✯

I’m so in love with every Staci Hart book she release’s and On The Honey Side was no different!!! 

It’s been said the Blum family is cursed and they’ll die alone. But, Jo found love with Grant and it doesn’t matter what Daisy says or wants but her time of being single is over. 

Daisy lost her boyfriend years ago and that’s how the Blum sister pact of not dating came about and Daisy hasn’t dated anybody since. When Keaton Meyer popped up outta nowhere Daisy was shocked to see him and then she felt something she hadn’t ever felt before. 

Keaton Meyer lost his parent’s and wife in short periods of each other and since then he’s pretty much become a recluse. His life revolves around his family business, his three brothers and his adorable eight year old niece Sophie. Even he runs into Daisy Blum he gets a feeling he hasn’t felt in awhile but he refuses to act on it. 

With the homeless coming into their town of Lindenbach, Texas the town is again at odds. Half of them will do whatever it can to get rid of them. The other half of them are doing whatever they can to help. 

Daisy and her sisters Jo and Poppy decide to build a shelter and get a community center and help the homeless. They get Keaton and his brothers to head up the construction. 

The Blum sisters and Meyer brothers are all about two things 1-helping the homeless and their town and 2-forcing Keaton and Daisy to give into their desires and go for it. 

Keaton is quick to shut it down even though Daisy’s open to trying it. The more time these two are together between work and their family tricking them LOL the more Keaton wants to kick himself for saying no so quickly. When they end up in a thunderstorm searching for some missing horses Keaton realizes that she’s what he wants. 

These two have been in their own stage of grieving for so long that they have been hardly living and man do these two have a lot of catching up to do. 

Just when these two are really starting to make progress with the buildings and their relationship thing’s start happening at the job site and then somebody from Keaton’s past come knocking on his door. They know about his money issues with his business and are using it to get him to back off two things and either way he’ll lose one thing. It’s either his family business or Daisy. Either way Keaton is in a lose lose position.

OMG this book was SO good!!! I’m in love with the Blum family. I’m also fallen far the Meyer brothers and I’m praying that they get their stories told. 

Until then I’m looking forward to Poppy’s story!!! I can’t wait to see who steals her heart. 

I’m also hoping that the hero to both this book and the previous book gets a book.  I don’t wanna giveaway who helped but they deserve a HEA. 

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

✯Release Review✯Perceive (The Vindicated #4) by Addison Jane & K.E. Osborn

Title: Perceive

Series: Vindicated #4

Authors: Addison Jane & K E Osborn

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: October 4, 2021

BLURB

Trust, loyalty, respect—that was what Malice MC stood for. The club was my family, a group of hard men who believed in brotherhood above everything else.

I found my best friend there.

Fell in love there.

And it was there I lost everything.

I gave it all up to find her, stared death in the face more times than I could count, for even just the slightest chance she was still out there. Finding her consumed me, and after six long years, she was finally back within my reach.

I thought getting her back meant feeling whole again, but I was wrong. The beautiful, fierce young woman I knew was gone.

I wasn’t the kid she grew up with anymore.

I wasn’t her first kiss.

Now, I was the enemy.

✯✯5 Axel & Kenzie Filled Stars!!!✯✯ 

OMG I’ve legit been waiting for this book since 2018!!!! I have not been shy about it. I feel like I been harassing Addison Jane & K. E. Osborn when they were releasing another one since I finished Revive. I’m here to say the wait was SOOOOOO worth it. 

Axel is in The Agency and part of team S07. Before he joined The Agency he was known as Riot in the Malice MC. When his childhood best friend Mackenzie aka Kenzie was taken six years ago he joined The Agency in hopes of finding her. It’s been six years since he’s seen her and they’ve finally found her but she has no idea who he or the Malice MC are. 

Four years ago Mackenzie woke up from a terrible accident and had no idea who or where she was. Rix found and saved her. Even though she doesn’t feel 100% sure or safe with Rix, he’s all she knows so she stays. Until Axel show’s up and she feels thing’s that she’s never felt in the four years with Rix. 

Axel call’s her Kenzie and she gets all warm inside. Even though he took her from Rix and has her locked in a small white room. He looks at her like she’s everything to him and Kenzie wishes she could remember what he remembers. 

Kenzie can tell quickly that Axel and his team are different than Rix and his team. She’s quickly realizing she’s been missing for six not four years and that she’s trusted the wrong person and that it could end up hurting or killing a lot of people. Kenzie decides to start trusting and helping Axel and the S07 takedown Rix once and for all. 

The more time Kenzie spends with Axel is more of her memories from their past comeback little by little. 

These two grow closer and closer together everyday. Axel and his team also get closer to figuring out what Rix’s next move is thanks to help from Kenzie. 

Just as they think they’ve gotten a plan to end Rix, things go sideways. They realize that they have a mole in The Agency and they’re all in danger. 

Axel lost Kenzie once and he can’t loose her again. He treats his S07 team. They’ve become his family. He knows with a trader in The Agency he needs to get help from his other family. The Malice MC, who are also Kenzie’s family are here to help Axel, The Agency and S07 takedown Rix, the traitor and save Kenzie. While also trying to stay alive. 

You gotta read this! Since I haven’t seen these guysguy’s since 2018 I went back and read my first three review’s to refresh my memory and when I started reading it everything came back. 

I’m now so excited to get Noah and Molly’s story Bc OMG. Talk about explosion!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed I have them in my hands ASAP!!

EXCERPT

Six years ago, I lost her.

Kenzi was a part of my club, The Malice MC, where we both grew up together. We formed a bond so tight I thought nothing could tear us apart, until she vanished into thin air one day without a trace.

I was a brother, a valued member of the MC, but I had to find her. It was my mission moving forward. So, I joined an elite team, a section of the government so deeply hidden that even the highest officials don’t know of its existence.

I joined The Agency to find her.

My team, the SO7, did just that.

We failed the first time I tried to rescue her.

When I laid eyes on her, I was so fucking shocked, I let her walk with the asshole who took her from me. Ever since we left the desert to regroup, I can’t get my head straight.

✯Release Review✯Holding You Close (Ex-Con Duet Series #4) by Kennedy Fox

Holding You Close

Noah & Katie duet #2

Ex-Con Duet Series

 

Holding You Close is now available on all retailers!

 

After serving a decade long prison sentence for an accident that resulted in my husband’s death, Noah Reid returns. Even if he was my childhood best friend and the first man I secretly loved, I refuse to make it easy for him. But the heart never forgets and those old repressed feelings quickly bubble to the surface. Loving him is a dangerous game but one I’m willing to play.  Flirting leads to falling between the sheets, and I’m forced to deal with the guilt of what we’re doing. Viciousness towards Noah runs rampant and while revenge trickles through the streets of Lawton Ridge, I realize there’s more on the line than just my heart. While I’m afraid that my son and I will be caught in the crossfire of those who want to hurt Noah, I can’t walk away.  Secrets are revealed and revelations are made, but losing him again isn’t an option—especially since I’m pregnant. 

HOLDING YOU AWAY is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 2 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.

✯✯5 Noah & Katie Filled Stars!!!✯✯

     After finishing Pushing You Away I’d been dying to get the second book and finish Noah and Katie’s story. 

We pick up right where we left off with Noah being run off the road and in the hospital. Everybody’s still trying to figure out exactly what happened and who’s behind it and why. 

When they figure out who’s behind trying to kill Noah nobody’s really shocked but they wished they knew exactly why this person had vengeance in their eyes. Now they gotta find them Bc they went into hiding. Tyler called his friend Eric to come and keep an eye on Noah until the situation is resolved. 

Noah and Katie are also really giving their relationship a shot. They’ve been best friend’s forever but haven’t spoken for ten years and they’ve both changed. And, Noah’s trying to show Owen how much he really loves and cares for both him and Katie. 

This book & entire storyline was everything!!! Noah’s really the perfect man, boyfriend and father. Katie is one strong & amazing women and mom. Then there’s Owen. He stole my heart. When he confronted Noah about what happened with Gabe I legit held my breath. Owen’s such an understanding young man and saw things for what they truly were and handled it better then I’d hoped. And, the epilogue was perfect. 

I’m looking forward to Archer and Everleigh’s story. And seeing what happened when Archer showed up I hope he’s got patience. Bc, he’s gunna need it with Everleigh LOL.

✯Release Review✯Our Chance (Hope River #2) by Margaret McHeyzer

Title: Our Chance

Series: Hope River #2

Author: Margaret McHeyzer

Genre: Small Town Friends to Lovers Romance

Release Date: March 15, 2021

BLURB

We started out as friends.

But as time goes by I find myself developing a crush on Jake.

I’m fairly certain our attraction is mutual. When we’re together we’re dynamic, our chemistry is undeniable. But something is stopping us from acting on our feelings.

Resisting him is nearly impossible.

The problem is, I’m running from my past.

Jake’s the Sheriff of Hope River, and it wouldn’t be hard for him to uncover my secrets.

Do I risk telling him the truth, or do I run again?

✯✯5 Jake Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Oh Margaret McHeyzer you’ve done it to me again. I knew when I was reading Hope River that I needed Elle and Jake’s story. They were def hiding thing’s from their friend’s and I wanted to know what it was. 

A night out celebrating turned out not the way Elle was ever expecting. Now she’s running away scared for her life.  When she see’s the sign for Hope River the name gives her a good feeling. She just hope’s nobody finds her. 

Elle has made herself a good life since moving there. She owns the cafe and is the town realtor and is friendly with everyone. When Jake comes by and mention’s a name Elle life turn’s upside down. She knows her past has caught up to her and that she must pack a bag and run away as fast and  far-away as possible. 

Jake ran away to Hope River a few year’s ago. He loves his job as the local sheriff. Jake is suffering from survivor’s guilt and refuses to let anybody get hurt on his watch again. 

When Jake comes across a missing person’s report he can’t believe how much Elle resembles the person. He mention’s it to her and she laughs it off but something doesn’t sit right with him. 

Jake goes to her apartment just as she walks out with luggage. Jake refuses to let his friend get hurt. Jake insists Elle move in with him. Elle doesn’t want to but he doesn’t give her a choice. 

Elle’s not the only one that is keeping secret’s. Jake’s a closed book as well. They’re both hiding what brought them to Hope River but they’re also hiding the fact that they like each other. They wanna jump the other one so much but are afraid to for their own reason’s. 

The more these two stay in the same house together the harder it is to keep their feeling’s bottled up. They’re trying to figure out what’s next for them but Elle’s last has caught to her. 

I legit couldn’t put this book down!! I love Elle and Jake more then I did before. I’m excited for Charlie and Tabitha’s story next. Bc, they’re chemistry’s been off the chart’s since Hope River!! I’m also glad to get more from Gran.

AUTHOR BIO

STRONG, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS. 

**Write something worth reading**

I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.

Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best-selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.

My last six books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.

My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.

I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

✯Release Review w/Giveaway✯Concede (The Diamond Empire, #1) by Kathy Coopmans

Title: Concede
Series: The Diamond Empire
Author: Kathy Coopmans
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Organized Crime, Enemies to Lovers

A new series of standalone full-length novels from USA Today Bestselling Author Kathy Coopmans.

For years, I pretended to be something I’m not. Drowning the beast living inside of me in copious amounts of alcohol and women. Not that I complained.

And then Victoria Hughes walks back into my life, and took me by surprise.

The woman stunning me clear out of my mind the minute my mouth touched hers.

After tragedy strikes and knocks her off her feet, I expected her to come to me, yet she didn’t. She pretended we’re nothing. But I see her. I’ve watched her, and she’s fighting grief while battling an all-consuming need for vengeance.

If anyone understands that, it’s me.

Deep down, she knows the only way to ease the pain is to give in to me and let justice bleed from her enemy’s veins.
And she will. I’m the type of man to make sure of it.

But there’s a problem. We have no idea who the enemy is. All we know is they want to destroy The Diamond Empire.

✯✯5 Enforcer Filled Stars!!!✯✯

Kathy you’ve made me wait forever to get my hand’s on Seth Mitchell’s story and after finishing Concede I’m here telling you the wait was 100000% worth it!!!

Concede might be the first book in the The Diamond Empire but it’s not the first time you’re seeing a lot of the character’s. Victoria’s parent’s are Deirdre and Aiden Hughes from Kathy’s Syndicate Series. We meet Seth Mitchell from the very beginning of The Unbound Trilogy and again in Abrupt and those follow his brothers. 

I knew from reading Seth’s brother’s stories that I needed more from Seth but OMG I was so unprepared for him. By the end of the prologue after reading him and his niece Lexi’s goodbye that I was in serious trouble Bc I was a blubbering mess!!

Seth Mitchell is moving to New York City for two reason’s. He took a new position at the Diamond Empire run by Roan Diamond. Seth has become the Enforcer for the Empire. He’s taken over for Aiden Hughes. His real main reason for for going to New York is Victoria Hughes. 

Seth has known and loved Victoria his entire life. She think’s he’s the Devil and he’s here to show her how right they are for each other. 

It took them 20yrs to kiss and then some and Seth wants to smack himself for waiting that long LOL. Seth wants her to let him in. He also has a job to do for the Empire and right now they’re connected. 

There’s been an attack on the Empire and Victoria’s lost some of the closest people to her and they’ve got no leads on whose behind it. 

Seth’s job is to protect Victoria. He also want’s her to trust him to let him in. Seth want’s her to see they’re perfect together and to trust him 100%, to let him in on everything she’s feeling, thinking, scared of and wants her to desperately to accept him for every part of him. 

The more time Seth spend’s with Victoria the more he wants to give her. Seth want’s to take away Victoria’s pain.  He love’s her laugh and will do anything to make her laugh. Seth’s also close to finding out who’s behind the attack’s on the Empire but it doesn’t come fast enough. 

Victoria Hughes is the daughter of Aiden Hughes, enforcer of the Diamond Empire. While Victoria loves her parent’s, sister and two brother’s as well as her extended family. She’s not a fan of the mafia portion of it. Victoria wants no part of that side of the family business but she’s still very much a part of her family. 

When half of Victoria’s family is taken out in one night she’s devastated. She can’t believe she’ll never see them again. When Seth Mitchell show’s up she wants to scream. 

Victoria’s hated him her entire life. Or so she says to him but her insides keep telling her something else. She’s too busy dealing with her grief (so she thinks) then to deal with her real feeling’s for Seth. 

He lets her know he’s taken the job as Enforcer and part of his job is keeping her safe and he wants her.  Victoria doesn’t want him but her body is betraying her.  

Victoria can’t stay away from Seth no matter how hard she tries. He knows how to use her body to make it come undone. Victoria’s tried to play hardball but she can’t. 

Victoria’s seen how her aunt wanted nothing of the business then fell in love and became the Queen of the Empire when she gave into her feelings for Roan. 

Victoria’s realizing tomorrow’s not promised. There’s never as much time left as you’d think and hope for. She’s wasted a lifetime staying away from Seth Mitchell and she doesn’t wanna stay away from him anymore. 

Victoria’s learning to live with loving Seth and him doing his job for the Empire. They’ve promised each other he’d do his best to come home to her every night. Then there’s another attack and they’re both fighting to come home at the end of the day. 

Holy smokes!!!! Kathy Coopmans absolutely KILLED this story. 

Victoria was so strong.  She loved her family and Seth so much. Victoria learned how to be with Seth regardless of his job with the Empire. Victoria also learned to love the new person she was becoming. Victoria wanted vengeance. She wanted the people behind the attack taken care of. She also wanted whoever set up her brother Diesel taken care of and him outta jail. 

Seth Seth Seth. He owned my heart!! His relationship with his niece Lexi was beautiful.  Let’s face it Lexi OWNS all three of the Mitchell brother’s LOL but I dunno her and Seth brought me to tears MULTIPLE times. I also came to tears with Seth and Gabe, the man who took him and his brother’s in and became his father. The way Seth loved Victoria was beautiful!! You’d almost forget he was a killer with the way he was with her. With him going to rehab for his drinking but really quick I realized he didn’t need alcohol anymore Bc he had Victoria. 

After finishing this I’m DYING for Diesel’s story!!! I’m gunna be losing sleep till I get my greedy hands on it.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going? It’s snowing out there.” It’s a blizzard. Colder than a witch’s tit. Blowing snow and below zero temps. The only thing I’ll never get used to in this city.

Victoria’s body tenses, which I don’t like at all, still, she’s going to answer my question. She has no choice. I won’t let her walk out the door looking like that. Fuck what Theo thinks or says when he gets here.

“No shit, Sherlock, this is New York. We get snow, and sometimes several feet all in a matter of hours. Maybe you should move south of the border. As far away from me as you can get.”

“Cute. Not going anywhere, Victoria. Neither are you.” I grin. Nothing turns me on more than her sassy mouth. Except maybe when the time comes where she says my name. “Now, answer my question.”

Slamming her hands against the counter, she whirls on me, enough to stumble me back a step. Her lips set in a thin line. Pure fire behind her stare, and goddamn if it doesn’t make me want to plant her on the counter, kiss her in a way that reminds her who she belongs to.

Instead, because I’m sure she’d bite my tongue off, I lean forward, grab her hips again, our mouths only inches apart. Her lids flutter, lips parting, and making me want to devour her.

“I don’t have to answer you, now back the fuck off.” She gets a free pass on swearing this one time. She might be slowly conceding to the dark side, but her soul and spirit are too flawless for trash talk.
