SYNOPSIS
Be careful where you dig for secrets…
Pine Point, Book 3
Sienna Cruz left Pine Point at age fifteen after her mother’s untimely death. Eleven years later, a job teaching special needs kids has brought her back. At least, that’s what she wants everyone to believe.
Raised in a poverty-stricken, single-parent household, Sienna is earning her PhD with a dissertation proving even too-perfect-to-be-real Pine Point is a hotbed of small-town secrets and scandal.
Leaving Pine Point turned out to be the biggest mistake of Mike Springer’s life. After eight years on the West Coast, coming home to open a local gym is the first step toward a fresh start, this time with the support of friends and family.
Sparks fly the moment Sienna walks into Mike’s gym, and it isn’t long before they’re workout partners with benefits. Then her research not only hits too close to Mike’s fiercely guarded past, it exposes a sordid truth about skeletons Sienna didn’t know she had in her own closet.

REVIEW: SPRING SECRETS (PINE POINT) BY ALLIE BONIFACE
Spring Secrets by Allie BonifaceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Pine Point is back. Each time I visit, there are yet to be revealed secrets, emotional moments and stories that are packed full of wise sage advice. In Spring Secrets, Mike and Sienna are the key players. Heartbreak and big dreams took them away from the sleepy town of Pine Point. Sienna needed a fresh start after the death of a loved one and Miked wanted to make a change. Now each has returned to the home they left behind. Can Pine Point, the town of secrets also prove a healing balm for the soul? The reason I keep coming back to Allie Boniface stories is because she has way of shining a light on more than chance love but on the puzzles of life that stir the mind and heart but she does so in a completely organic way. There are two sides to everyone of her stories. The painful and the wonderful. The lesson every road is paved with sadness and pain but it's the choices we make that will help us make it through and more appreciative of the moments of happiness we experience along the way. Brings home, hearth and healing to each read.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE (ROMANCING THE CLARKSONS) BY TESSA BAILEY
Release Date: May 17, 2016
SYNOPSIS
When rescue looks like a whole lot of trouble…
The road trip was definitely a bad idea. Having already flambéed her culinary career beyond recognition, Rita Clarkson is now stranded in God-Knows-Where, New Mexico, with a busted-ass car and her three temperamental siblings, who she hasn't seen in years. When rescue shows up—six-feet-plus of hot, charming sex on a motorcycle—Rita's pretty certain she's gone from the frying pan right into the fire…
Jasper Ellis has a bad boy reputation in this town, and he loathes it. The moment he sees Rita, though, Jasper knows he's about to be sorely tempted. There's something real between them. Something raw. And Jasper has only a few days to show Rita that he isn't just for tonight—he's forever.

REVIEW: TOO HOT TO HANDLE (ROMANCING THE CLARKSONS) BY TESSA BAILEY
Too Hot to Handle by Tessa BaileyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tessa Bailey and her family of misfits took some time for me to warm up to but once it happened, I was all in. The Clarksons are a family that know what they want but lack the direction needed to get there. That guidance has always come from Miriam, the family matriach. Through the flubs she made and the love she gave, her teachings were the one constant in an ever changing world of heartaches and failure. She was the glue that held this faltering group together. Now they have too find the way on their own. With a little divine intervention. I received an ARC of Too Hot to Handle in exchange for an honest review. Rita had the heart to fulfill her dreams but lacked the confidence. Her life is quickly falling apart and she is losing herself piece by piece. Through memories, we get to explore her relationship with her mother and her personal development. I loved how Ms. Bailey wrote a tempting love story but she also explored the deeply emotional bond between a family. Through the good and bad.

A MOST DELICATE PURSUIT (HUNT CLUB) BY PAMELA LABUD
Release Date: May 17, 2016
SYNOPSIS
As the captivating Hunt Club series from RITA award finalist Pamela Labud continues, a notorious earl and a brokenhearted young lady are running from love . . . until their foolproof scheme backfires in the most decadent way.
Though he’s fiercely loyal to his friends, Michael Carver has managed to avoid romantic entanglements by cultivating a reputation as a rake and a gambler. Believing himself incapable of intimacy, the Earl of Blandon avoids anything more than lighthearted flirtations or trysts with married women—which leaves more than enough time to slip out into the wilderness for a little fishing. All is well until Michael agrees, as a favor, to keep his best friend’s stubborn yet alluring sister-in-law company.
After one failed engagement, Beatrice Hawkins would rather become a spinster than risk her heart again. Her family, however, is relentless when it comes to finding her a suitable match. So when the roguish earl suggests they join forces to feign courtship and throw everyone off their scent, Beatrice only hopes the ton will take the bait. But at the hunting lodge where Michael takes her to escape prying eyes, Beatrice finds herself lured in by the unexpected charms of a man who has so much love to give—even if he doesn’t know it yet.

REVIEW: A MOST DELICATE PURSUIT (HUNT CLUB) BY PAMELA LABUD
A Most Delicate Pursuit by Pamela LabudMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In every life there are moments that are hard to forget. The one that stands out most is finding that special someone. Ms. Labud took that joy and happiness and set a seldom explored course. A Most Delicate Pursuit explores the lengths two people are willing to go in order not to fall in love. Beatrice is running from heartbreak and Michael is closed off to love. A foolproof plan, a fake romance and everything will be fine. Faking a romance seems the perfect plan until the masquerade becomes all too real. Having read a great deal of books and experienced a lot of emotions, it is hard to gauge how a person reacts to a particular character. A Most Delicate Pursuit is not a perfect read but I found it to be a story that was perfect for me.

REVIEW: SEDUCED (THE WICKED WOODLEYS) BY JESS MICHAELS
Seduced by Jess MichaelsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My infatuation with Jess Michaels stems from the fact that she does not just write stories that go beyond pushing the envelope. She creates strong female characters that are willing to risk everything to protect the ones they love. Seduced is a story of betrayal, lust and courage. Letty is hell on wheels, Jack is sex on a stick. With the odds not working in their favor, a middle ground has to be found to explore the all consuming attraction between these two characters. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. These characters bring out strong emotions in each other and that is what makes Seduced an engrossing read.
