A Blind Date for the Marine

 A Blind Date for the Marine

Written by: Jess Mastorakos

This story takes online dating to a whole new level. With the algorithms from an in-person dating service mixed with the best of the IT world and a few best friends mixed in you get a love story that makes this fit in the romantic comedy genre perfectly. It is all about pushing outside of your comfort zones and embracing the possibility of amazing things. 

This sweet romance made me smile and cringe as the main characters started chatting. While they chatted through the app, they had no idea their best friends were engaged and they knew each other in real life. These quirky characters shared things about themselves they hadn't shared with anyone before. Their relationship developed so well as throughout the story and the dark period before the happily ever after matched the whole tone of the story.

Perfect Match Gulf Coast Firefighters Written by: Susan Oloier This sweet romance was a pleasant read. With two characters who are looking for something more satisfying in life and struggling to find it, they relate to most of the population. As neighbors who find attraction despite everything about the situation being wrong, they push past their insecurities and eventually find their way to love. Susan Oloier created realistic characters with faults and struggles. Both of them have great personalities and the flaws enhance the story. The world they live in is comfortable and real. This story could be any of the hallmark stories just without a Christmas setting.

  Home on the Harbor Cliffside Point: Book 4 Written by: Ellen Joy The fourth book in this series has all of the characters come back with big appearances. While this may hold Harper's love story, it also holds the love story of the whole family (blood and chosen)- the love story of how these characters found each other and rely on each other. While the romance is sweet, the greater meaning comes from how these women are light to each other and can rely on each other. Reading about their struggles and will to survive makes me want to reach out to those around me so they know I have their backs and love them.  Overall- I wish I could have seen more of Harper's love story. There is so much to her back story and understanding who she is as a person that I felt a little gypped on seeing her happily ever after. To seeing the characters fall in love after they came around to enjoying each other's company. Maybe we will see more of that in the next book!

Sleep Robin Hood

Sleep Robin Hood Outlaws: Book Three Written by: M.C. Frank Sleep Robin Hood is a fantastic continuation of the Outlaws series. With action, adventure, romance, suspense, and everything in-between this story hooked me. I can't wait for the next year to pass so I can read the next installation in this retelling. The characters have such passion and feelings that go between hope, despair, and betrayal. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away but this series is a well-written depiction of the tale of Robin Hood.
