I love second-chance romances and I am not in my twenties anymore; so I wrote what I wanted to read. Now, I've found other authors who write 35+, characters who have lived, been hurt, and moved on in life. I do read New Adult or younger than 35 characters and often, really smutty, erotic books as I need to get out of my head sometimes. I love Nora Roberts, Claudia Burgoa, Catharina Maura, Jolie Vines and I'll one-click quite a few indies.
Dìonadair is the first of a romantic suspense,
second chance duology telling the tale of two military-based friends that find
love later in life. Having survived square bashing, the two women meet at
Officers' training. Becoming firm friends, the two new military police officers
form a friendship for life—Blythe Grievson and Annie Holmes are as different
as they are similar.
The need to be loved in more than one way at
the same time is something Blythe thinks she'll never find. Rekindling a one-night stand brings her
within reach of two very different brothers. When their company comes under
regular attack, Blythe slowly starts putting the disjointed pieces together.
Can she save her lovers and their company?
Hard Nox is set in Scotland and is brilliantly
written. It's the start of series two and I fell in love with the world that
Jolie had built. I did put this book down a few chapters in to find the first
book of the first series. I wanted to read them in order and I'm so glad I did.
It was hard at the time to find books showing the Scots dialect and Jolie does
it well. So much so, I'm one of her ARC readers and I have started collecting the
paperback copies. This is my favourite of all her books.
Isobel: Lennox is one hot Highlander. Muscles bulging on thick arms. A smirk and a bossy swagger. In a kilt, he's devastating. To everyone but me. As teenagers, he crashed my car, stole my first kiss, then walked away with another woman. I'll be damned if my brother's best friend is getting an easy ride back into my life.
Nox: Isobel is a menace. She races cars and has tattoos in places I can't even imagine. I shouldn’t want her. But I can't forget the one kiss we shared as teenagers. Fresh…
This book is set in Cornwall, Nat's favourite county. She builds up such a strong world that's realistic. The characters deal with life, angst, fright, flight, and situations that are just horrible and real. This is the first of a three-part series and I devoured it all. Now, I want to visit that town (wish it were real) and just sit on that coastal path.
I remember like it was yesterday, how he promised he would find me if I ever tried to leave him... Lou has only one plan-run as far away as possible from her abusive boyfriend.

As Lou tries to put the broken pieces of herself back together, a need for her best friend reignites. Jay has loved Lou since they were building sandcastles on the beach. When fate throws them back together, he is determined not to let…
I love fantasy books; the escapism is
unbelievable and I love the way Sandra can bring the smut, the love,
Arch-angels, vikings, immortality, and Satan into a series. I could not order
these quickly enough and it was because I can't hold more physical copies that
I picked up Kindle Unlimited. And realised just how many brilliant Indie
Authors there are and I was hooked.
“Her books are always fresh, romantic, inventive, and hilarious.” —New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs
Trust the always original, wonderfully fun Sandra Hill to do the wildly unexpected!

A refreshingly unique, utterly satisfying love story that puts the “super” in supernatural, Kiss of Pride tells the tantalizing tale of a lady reporter who falls under the sway of…
This is another series: The Blackstone Dragon
series. I've loved Dragons since: forever! If you enter my house, you'll see
just how much I love them (I have statues all over, including in the bedroom!)
so this series, was a given. There are
many others written by Alicia and I have a few books of hers waiting to be
enjoyed.
It starts with Broken Trust, but Brooke writes
such realistic characters and situations, you forget it's fiction. She writes
Sweet with Heat, a genre that's not too smutty but certainly isn't afraid to
mention the sex. It's been great working with her and reading her work and I
wonder just what situation she's dreamt up for the brothers this time!
Jax learned early on that it's a bad idea to mix business with pleasure. But he has to question his resolve when small-town spitfire Galen crashes into his world.
A killer in the boardroom? Check!
Beauty as well as brains? Check!
Loves hole-in-the-wall restaurants, local markets, and greasy cheeseburgers? Where has she been all his life?
Galen's entire life has been controlled by her overbearing father, who's tried to mold her into a carbon copy of himself. When she arrives in the sunny haven of Daytona Beach, Florida, the only thing on her mind is sealing the deal on an…
