Love Me Louder by Christina Lee
An emotional rollercoaster story, which kept me completely absorbed in the story.
The Hedonist series by Rebecca James
A fabulous wonderful series I am so excited for book 6 that is just released but I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet!
Vidar (Open Wounds #4) by Michelle Frost
This was the open wounds book it seems like everyone was waiting for and it was so worth it.
Grif’s Salvation (Delta Force Team Panther #6) by Annabella Stone
From the moment I found this series by this author I have been a fan big time
This latest release only proves more how amazing this series is.
Fallen Angel series by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine
I will mention the latest release “Lust Hate Love” but make sure you put this series because where this last book focuses on Killian and Levi the first three books focus on Viper and Halo and are fantastic! It is one of the best series for sure from 2019
(even the MMF short story An Affair in Paris #3.5 is so worth the read)
Wilde Love: A Forever Wilde Novel by Lucy Lennox
If you can manage to write 7 books in a series and still find ways to improve to surprise and to have a high standard…compliments!
I could have picked book 7 King Me but decided to highlight book 6 because I went into that hesitant as it didn’t really appeal to me but gosh this story is one of the most remarkable I read the past year. It blew me of my socks and made me feel all the feels big time. To quote from my review “To the point that so much pure and honest love will leave you humble, speechless and tearful.“. Astonishing!
Starting Over/Keeping Secrets (Castaways #2 & #3) by Alexa Land
After the first and forever series and it’s success it is very exciting to see what will happen with a so called spin off well miss Land rocks this spin off because these books are awesome
If it is book 2 that has Cole his story as book 3 when we get Becks!
Always Mine (Love in Eden #1) by Sloane Kennedy
A start of a new series by author Sloane Kennedy and it has everything.
I cannot wait to read more!
Thirst for You (Beyond the Cove #2) by Jaclyn Quinn
After the Cove series I was glad Jaclyn Quinn went for a spin off.
The first two books are everything I love in a good series. I need to catch up on book 3
But I am sure I will also love that one.
Ignite (Unbreakable Bonds #7) by Jocelynn Drake & Rinda Elliott
This series brought me so many hours of joy I am sad to see it end but while I hardly re read I have re read this series a few times already.
As I didn’t manage to read book 8 yet (Rialto) I have chosen book 7 for this best of list.
I want to do a special mention about two book series:
One is for The Cedar Falls series by Shea Balik. I found this series this year and I absolutely loved it!
All the books are seriously wonderful (25!! Of them) and I am really hoping for book 26 to come in 2020.
The second mention is not even one series but multiple series combined
J.M Dabney is the author and a friend directed me toward this series when I was in desperate need to find a good series of books.
I found the Brawlers,Twirled World Ink, Executioners, and Trenton Security (17 books in total) and was blown away but what an amazing series these books are. They gave me so much reading pleasure in 2019 I wanted to mention them.
