Review of No Way Out by Susan Sleeman

Susan Sleeman sent me a copy of her book: 'No Way Out' in exchange for a review.

As a young woman who isn't a huge fan of romance, a Harlequin novel is not exactly my cup of tea. That being said though, No Way Out is amazing! 

The characters all seemed like they would get along in real life and the chemistry between Cole and Alyssa was intense. I really liked how Susan made the family aspect shine. Family is an important part of people's lives and this really showed how having a family that loves and cares for one another is good for your soul. 

I really loved when Cole called one of the characters Kit Kat. It made me laugh for I always said that if I had twin girls I was going to name them names that would be able to be shortened to Kit and Kat. I also really loved that Alyssa was such a protective mom to her kids. 

In a way this book reminded me of one of my favorite shows: Castle. The dynamic between all the characters really made me think of that show. 

It is definitely worth a read and is going on my shelf to stay! Looking forward to the next book!

Review of A Noble Groom by Jody Hedlund

I received a copy of 'A Noble Groom' by Jody Hedlund in exchange for my honest review.

When I first got my copy the cover threw me off a bit. It reminds me a lot of Superman for some reason and doesn't seem to fit the story.

As soon as I read the first two lines, I was hooked! This book is SO good! I have always heard of Jody Hedlund's books, but for some reason never read them. However, this will change for if they are anything like this book - I will love them!

The characters were excellent and you really felt what they were feeling. I will definitely be re-reading this again and again!

There were quite a few moments when I found myself smiling without noticing it at first due to the humor within the pages and then moments when I laughed out loud. Jody's characters are plunged through drama and I personally love that.

I was raised on soap operas (All My Children and One Life to Live), so if a book lacks drama I find myself bored. However, if it has too much action I find myself uninterested. It has to have that perfect mix and I really believe Jody found it!

Can't wait to read more from the wonderful Author! Five stars!!!
