My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Doctor Autumn Blake has an ex-husband and a stalker to escape, so a year working in Australia sounds like a great idea considering the cold English climate. It will be great to have a year to get her head together and so no romantic entanglements seem to be the best policy too. Next door neighbour Trend has lived a love then an leave them mentality for years until he sets eyes on Autumn Blake next door. She might just be the one to break through the tough layer he surrounds himself with. Is the sexual chemistry between them just that or is it something much more? Is one year long enough for them to forget their posts and grab a chance at love or will they lose it forever?

I loved this story which started off with sexual attraction which moved onto sexual chemistry and them even though they tried their best to deny it, ended up with love. I was definitely addicted to this story and found myself reading it faster and faster as I was dying to know what would happen next. I loved the role of the dog in their relationship and how he transitioned from being something that frustrated their attempts before playing a pivotal role in the story. Neighbour Dorothy was sweet and we could all do with a neighbour like that - although we would risk our waistlines! Well written and easy to read, this was a really enjoyable story that sweeps you into the story and slowly builds to the point that you become addicted to it. Contains some sexual content.

Rekindled Love by Maggie Mundy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After messing up relationships at an early age Brett Connor is all for partying hard and making sure he never falls in love with any of his many conquests. Mila DeMarco is a hard-working chef who has to come back to her childhood home as her mother is sick. She also has a past with Brett. Can Brett start to believe in love again as he falls for Mila or will he mess it up in order to stay in his wild ways?

This was a lovely story which will definitely pull at your heartstrings and make you believe that Brett really is a human and not a man-whore when he finds something out about the past that will rock his world completely. I can't say more else I will ruin the story, just know that it is easy to become addicted to this story as you go on the same journey as Brett to fill in gaps in his knowledge and find out what is truly important in life to him. Definitely emotional in places and will leave you with a warm glow at the end. Contains some explicit sexual content. Well written and very easy to read and feel the thoughts and emotions of the characters.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a lovely story that was very enjoyable. It had an unconventional start with the agreement between them that also started to morph into feelings of affection and love as they had to face the situation and probably what was hidden deep down all along. Full of tender moments, drama and some danger as something deeper started to develop. Well written, easy to understand and feel, and very enjoyable. Contains explicit sexual content.

A Death in the Family by Maggie Mundy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Annabel Larch vows to find her aunt's killer but in order to do that she needs the help of WW1 veteran Isaac Pennington who is disfigured and could also be a suspect himself. Set in the 1920's this story has a paranormal twist and involves Brazilian artefacts, opium dens and bizarre cult worship Can they find the killer before they are murdered themselves?

I loved this story which was a great mixture of a murder mystery, a touch of paranormal and a sweet romance story all put together into a great story that kept me reading faster and faster wanting to find out what would happen next. This was well written and a great introduction to the series which I am now looking forward to reading more of going forward.
