8 Second Decision by H.J. Bellus
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This a book I picked up for free and it is by an author whose work I have been curious about. I found it to be an entertaining read, but definitely a little rough around the edges.
Merek and Challis are an odd pairing that makes sense in an unique way if not in a traditional romantic sense. The Slatter boys, Merek and his brothers, have huge egos that make you want to see beyond their hard edges.
If you are offended by strong language, then this would not be a book for you. If you are looking for light intrigue combined with a sexy know-it-all cowboy then this would be right up your alley.

St. Helena Vineyard Series: Destiny Laughs (Kindle Worlds Novella) by Leslie Pike
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nash and Farrah are an awesome couple and Ms. Pike does an excellent job of capturing their story in the novella format. I would have loved to have seen more of the twists and turns of their story in a full length book, but this was a great way to meet them and Nash's extended family.

St. Helena Vineyard Series: Intimate Strangers by Stephanie Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My only complaint about Derek and Mia's story - it's just not long enough!
Given that this is a novella, Ms Rose does an excellent job of giving us characters we can embrace and root for as they figure out the complexities of a work place romance.
I would be first in line for a full length novel featuring these two!

St. Helena Vineyard Series: A Taste of Love by Faith Andrews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lust at First sight leads to a revenge scheme against a not nice sister leads to LOVE?
Jude and Leila are a fun couple and I enjoyed their story. Like the other related novellas I have read, I do wish this had been longer.
Ms. Andrews did an excellent job of crafty a fun and developed story in the novella format. The interconnected Kindle World stories are definitely a treat!

Wedding Bells in Christmas by Debbie Mason
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars
A entertaining book full of second chances, intrigue, and meddling relatives.
The 4th book in a series, this stands alone, but there are definitely moments when I missed not having read the first 3 books - especially for the back story of secondary characters.
Chance and Viv are interesting characters on their own, but are even better together. They have a fantastic dynamic - even though there are moments in the story when your heart breaks for the both of them.
Aunt Nell is a great secondary character. The hi-jinx she and her friends get into are great for comic relief.
This was a fairly quick read and is great if you are looking for a "tortured soul redeemed by love" type of second chance romance.

Forbidden Alphas: Box Set by Sylvia Fox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a set of 4 novellas all featuring the same set up - an early 20's woman who has crushed on a significantly older Alpha man who is also friendly with the male authority figure in her life - and they all follow the same formula, so it's almost like reading the same story 4 times just with a slightly different set of characters.

Character development is light and the sexy times abundant. These are perfect if you are looking for a quick escape type read, but not something to dive into if you are looking for meat to the story.
