Sunshine in a Dragon’s Heart by Jaime Samms
Sweet and fun and did I mention well done dragons? The world these characters live in is perfectly crafted and I enjoyed this story immensely.
Fangs for the Memories by Julia Talbot
The way this author gets inside her character’s heads is wonderful, letting us see all sides of their personalities. It inspired me to read the book before it and I will be looking for more in this series.
This story was a unique take on the whole fated mates trope. I connected to the characters immediately and was heavily invested in their happily-ever-after.
Savior (415 Ink #2) by Rhys Ford
This author always writes the most amazing, hardest scenes to read. She always gets the struggles her characters are going through across in a way that I can relate to.
Aftershock (Ever After #2) by Tanya Chris
This was a sequel and it might even have been better than the first story in the series. I am endlessly fascinated by the BDSM world and this story is a beautiful foray into it and how it can be more than just pain.
Detour by Reesa Herberth & Michelle Moore
This coming of age story about two young men who are forced to live with the consequences of not only other peoples actions, but their own as well, is equally heartbreaking and heartwarming. Tears and laughter both make a lot of appearances and I loved it.
Soul to Keep (Rented Heart #2) by Garrett Leigh
A powerful tale of two men who are trying to recover from the hardships life has thrown their way and how the right person can sometimes come out of nowhere.
A historical set in Australia, I’m not usually big fan of historicals, but this one swept me away with an interesting premise and excellent writing.
I have several of these on my TBR. I need to add a few from this list that I missed. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your list. Aftershock was so good. I agree it might be better than the first book.
Thank you for sharing your list, Cindy. I loved Saviour, and Sunshine in the Dragon’s heart. I’ll have to add the others to my TBR pile
All of these lists could be written from my TBR.
I’ve beel scanning these lists for new books to read. Never expected to find my own book on one of them. That;s some pretty illustrious company. I’m so pleased 🙂 Thank you. Also, I tiotally Second Savior. That book is soo good. People should read it. I have. Twice 🙂
So many pretty covers and they all sound so interesting. Adding them to by TBR!
I need to read these!
The only one I have read is Detour which I liked.
I do like Keira Andrews so may give The Station a go
Thanks for the list. Some authors I already like, others I’ll have to look into,
Wow. Such great company! Thank you so much for the mention. Michelle and I are absolutely delighted to have made such an impression.
Great list, i have The Station by Keira Andrews and Savior by Rhys Ford on my ereader but haven’t read them yet but seeing that they are on your favorite read list i definitely want to read them soon. Thank you for sharing your list.
I have a couple of these but I haven’t read them yet. I’ll have to move them up the list!
