SYNOPSIS
Hockey star Jackson Maddox and gymnast Pepper Winters have been best friends since childhood…

When Jackson needs a date to a prestigious party, he calls upon his petite and dazzling BFF to be his arm candy for the night. Nothing could be better than walking into a room with Pepper on his arm. Jackson won’t ever admit how he really feels about her, because they’re…
Just friends.
With her gymnastics career over, Pepper welcomes a chance to let her freak flag fly—especially with Jackson by her side. Pepper can’t confess she’s loved him since childhood. He’s her best friend, and there’s no reason to jeopardize what they’ve got. But they’re still…

REVIEW: DREAMING UP A DARE (KINDLE WORLDS: DARE TO LOVE) BY CATHERINE GAYLE
Dreaming Up a Dare by Catherine Gayle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC Review: Dreaming Up A Dare (Kindle Worlds: Dare To Love) by Catherine Gayle
Catherine Gayle picked a plot line that romance fans are familiar with and gave it her own author makeover. Pepper and Jackson's progression into more than friends is enlightening, sensual and sensitive. Ms. Gayle took me right over that cliff with this adorable couple. The way Jackson looked after Pepper was a romantic fantasy come to life and who knew innocent Pepper had a kinky side. What I liked most is that despite the sexy game of Truth or Dare, time and distance and career achievements and or disappointments, this duo always look out for each other. Dreaming up A Dare checked all the right boxes for me.

REVIEW: DO YOU DARE (KINDLE WORLDS: DARE TO LOVE) BY CHRIS KENISTON
Dare to Love Series: Do You Dare by Chris Keniston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A masquerade that spirals out of control could end up costing a man who has it all, something more vital than possessions. I love Ms. Keniston's brand of narrative. Her surroundings are descriptive, her characters are written from the heart and her stories are full of scenarios that are enlightening but sweet. Never would I have pictured Chirs Keniston writing a story for Carly Phillips's seductive Dare to Love line but she surprised me and held her own creating a story that is as tempting as the beautiful backgrounds she used for the plot. Do You Dare is a story about discovering life's surprises and what is truly important. It reads like a fairy tale.

REVIEW: LUCKY IN LAGUNA (KINDLE WORLDS: LAGUNA BEACH) BY RACHELLE AYALA
Laguna Beach: Lucky in Laguna by Rachelle Ayala
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC Review: Lucky In Laguna (Kindle Worlds: Laguna Beach) by Rachelle Ayala
Reality television. It's a nuisance, it's unnecessary and it's highly addictive. Everywhere I turn there's a new untalented and hugely hyped group of pseudo celebrities looking for their shot at five minutes of fame. Kaira Rouda's Laguna Beach series delves into this world. The good, bad and ugliness behind the scenes is exposed with grit, emotiona and charm. That is why I love this series.
With Lucky in Laguna, Ms. Rouda hands the baton over to an equally irresistible story teller in Rachelle Ayala. Laguna Lights' Laura Kincaid makes a cameo as Tally and Lucky's story unfolds. Clueless scriptwriter Lucky is a sweetheart. A sheep in a world of wolves. He's shy but so adorable that it's not hard to wish him well. Tally has her head so far up in the clouds she's willing to sell her soul for a chance at fame. Ms. Ayala introduces a host of new characters but I love that she included some of the originals as well. The message she gives with Lucky in Laguna is "big dreams are fine to aspire to but don't lose track of who you are along the way". Sound advice told in a story that holds up well to the original series and has a light, comedic delivery that I enjoyed.

TREASURED KISS (KINDLE WORLDS: HOPE FALLS) BY VIRNA DEPAUL
Release Date: June 26, 2016
SYNOPSIS
MMA trainer Alder Hanson heads to Las Vegas ready to party hard; instead, he finds himself bored out of his mind. Then he runs into Dara Brennan, a beautiful brunette with sea green eyes who pleads with him to fill in as a stripper for her friend's bachelorette party. Unable to resist her, Alder negotiates his fee: a kiss. Only Alder finds one kiss isn’t nearly enough. When given the opportunity to train Dara's MMA fighter cousin, Alder jumps at the chance—it means more time with Dara, and a chance to win the greatest prize of his life: her heart.
Note: Treasured Kiss is a standalone novella in the Hope Falls Kindle World. It connects to Lucky Kiss, a Hope Falls novel by Melanie Shawn (where you first meet Alder), and What Love Can Do, Book One in the Home To Green Valley Series by Virna DePaul (where you first meet Dara). It can be read on its own!

REVIEW: TREASURED KISS (KINDLE WORLDS: HOPE FALLS) BY VIRNA DEPAUL
Hope Falls: Treasured Kiss by Virna DePaul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hope Falls is a place where the love is deep, the hope is universal and the chance to make a fresh start is met with open arms. For that reason, Virna Depaul was a well chosen contributor to Melanie Shawn's wonderful family friendly series. She brings heart and laughter to her own stories, so it's only fitting that she would do the same with her edition to Hope Falls. Alder is a bit of a playboy and Dara is a little bit quirky but together they give Treasured Kiss a lightness that translated into a cute read that blends the best traits of everyone involved. Cute mixture of warmth and emotion.

LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO (KINDLE WORLDS: HOPE FALLS) BY RHIAN CAHILL
Release Date: June 28, 2016
SYNOPSIS
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby…wait, scratch that. Can we start with the babies?
Selling most of her possessions, breaking her lease and driving across the country in search of a man who might not want to see her probably wasn’t such a great idea. Throw in an aging car with no heat, snow covered mountains and a rapidly expanding pregnant belly and Covington Valenti may have made the biggest mistake of her life.
When the woman who’s had him twisted up for over a year turns up in Hope Falls Tristan Harding is more than happy to see her. What he’s not so sure about is her extra baggage. But Tris is nothing if not a loyal friend and if Cov needs his help she has it—even if that means stepping up for someone else’s kid.

REVIEW: LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO (KINDLE WORLDS: HOPE FALLS) BY RHIAN CAHILL
Love Me Like You Do by Rhian Cahill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rhian Cahill does what she does best. She creates a story that's full of her best assets and works it to the bone. Love Me Like You Do has the classic Cahill sex appeal but the heartfelt emotion that mixes well with the Hope Falls landscape. It was clear from start to finish that Covington and Tris belonged together, why they were the last to know was beyond me. Sexy, flirty and heartfelt romance.

REVIEW: ONE NIGHT IN TAHOE (KINDLE WORLDS: HOPE FALLS) BY KAIRA ROUDA
Hope Falls: One Night in Tahoe by Kaira Rouda
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kaira Rouda is an author that is not afraid to be different. For that reason I am a huge fan of her work. Her uniqueness is on full display with One Night in Tahoe, her edition to the Kindle Worlds: Hope Falls series. She put her stamp on this novella by sprinkling a little bit of Laguna Beach sexiness with the Hope Falls emotion and created a story that is short, heated and emotionally fulfilling. A Christmas card setting adds to the appeal. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
