REVIEW: PRETENDING WITH THE GREEK BILLIONAIRE BY KIRA ARCHER
Pretending With the Greek Billionaire by Kira ArcherMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Count on Kira Archer to take life's awkward moments and turn them into romance gold. A playboy billionaire makes a desperate bid for good publicity and ends up getting the family he never bargained for. Luca puts the word party in "party animal". Fun, women and booze are constant companions for this rich kid until an ultimatum leaves him trying to clean up his act. Constance is the total opposite. She takes her responsibilities seriously and cares about her charges like her own family members. When a serious situation rises due to a mischievous charge, against her better judgment she agrees to help Luca and herself by posing as a couple. Sparks fly, hearts are at risk and a world of possibilities open up. The little girls were an adorable touch. There is nothing sweeter than a man out of his league due to a handful of little girls

REVIEW: THE BACHELOR'S PROMISE (BACHELOR AUCTION) BY NAIMA SIMONE
The Bachelor's Promise by Naima SimoneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Easy is not a word that either Aiden or Noelle are familiar with. Fight is the motto that plays on repeat like a theme song in their lives. He's the guy with the chip on his shoulder and enough anguish and guilt to last a lifetime. Noelle's the woman that carries shame and heartache around like her own personal zip code. Events beyond their control has left these two at odds. Can a promise to a dying woman heal two broken hearts? The Bachelor's Promise paints a picture of so much pain, but out of all the bitterness, two people learned how to hope again. Naima Simone blended the passion and heat of a complicated rivalry to make for a fiery story of forgiveness and courage. Powerful message: Love can stomp out hate.

REVIEW: CALLED UP (CALLING IT) BY JENNIFER DOYLE
Called Up by Jen DoyleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
There is fear in exposing the weakest parts of the soul. That vulnerability can be easily susceptible to hurt and makes it hard to recover if the wounds are deep enough. Called Up explores the frailties of the heart and how sacrifice and risk, though scary are beneficial to keeping hope alive. Deke is Fitz's other half. He lifts her spirits, encourages her dreams and forces her to face her emotions despite the difficulty of doing so. He's someone that she's come to rely on and that is the one thing she cannot and will not allow. She knows the pain of loneliness and the darkness of loss. No way will she allow those emotions into her life again. Letting go is not easy, but the right thing to do.
Deke has seen Fitz at her worst. He knows her fears. She challenges him at every turn, breaking his heart little by little as she pushes him away. What she doesn't fathom is for him the unknown is worth the risk and he'll do whatever it takes to keep from losing the woman he secretly loves. Ms. Doyle examines the uncertainty of falling in love in an easily understood setting that is full of so many emotions it's gritty, painful but well written and disturbingly accurate.
