This one passed just under my radar not too long ago, until some in our book-crew touted it as their “Best of May”. Admittedly, the cover didn’t quite catch my eye (even though I KNOW this author is much loved by many in our indie-romance world – especially her biker books). It was on my “new release” list, yet somehow I missed it for my own TBR list. Was it the cover? The “historical romance” aspect (which isn’t normal “my thing”)? I dunno, but OMG this one needs to be highlighted and I AM SO thankful to my book-buds for highlighting it for me!!

Belle Aurora – Shot Callers Series Reading Order
This one was HUGELY popular when it released in 2015, and readers have been anxiously awaiting more.
Grey: Lev by Belle Aurora… **5 stars*** Been a while since I’ve handed out a 5 star review. But this book is totally deserving. Angst, but not the typical run of the mill kind. Sweet… (“I want to be your penguin…” Awwww! *cue hearts floating above my head with stars in my eyes*) with a hint of spice, and some absolutely hilarious bits.
I don’t believe I’ve read this author before, but I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another from her! And I am seriously hoping she continues this series with other characters that were introduced. Read it, you’ll love it!
Reader Question – The book about the hero that is the legal guardian of his siblings…
Sue needs our book help! Oh I LOVE “nanny” books, although I’m not sure this is one… still, it reminds me of a few books I loved like crazy (but in each one, the heroine was the guardian of her family members…) – Emma Chase’s “Sustained” and Mariana Zapata’s “Wait For It“. I LOVED THEM BOTH!! But alas, the HERO is the hero of this one. 😉
She asks:
Hello Maryse,
I hope you and the book community can help me out.
I’m looking for a book that came out approximately 3-4 years ago. I don’t remember much about it, but I can’t get it out of my head.
Bethany Lopez – Three Sisters Catering Trilogy Reading Order
This trilogy is complete (book #3 – A Splash of Vanilla – just went LIVE today!!) and it sounds wonderful and heart warming and everything we love our contemporary romance to be! Single dads, teachers, sisters and caterers and everything in between! 😉
The author says:
Each book will be about a different sister, and can be read as a stand alone, but the stories will intertwine.
About book #1:
For the past year, talented chef Millie has been consumed with running her new catering business with her sisters, Dru and Tasha. It isn’t until Jackson walks through their door that she realizes something may be missing in the recipe of her life.
For the past year, Jackson has been dealing with the fallout of his wife’s abandonment. He’s had to learn how to be a single father to their eight-year-old daughter, and will do anything to fill the void her mother left. It isn’t until he commissions Millie for his daughter’s birthday party that he realizes he’s forgotten that he’s not only a father, but a man.
They both think they’re content in their lives, but sometimes the right amount of spice can turn an okay dish into a magnificent one. A Pinch of Salt may be all that’s needed to bring Millie and Jackson the flavor they’ve been missing.

The beginning of any love story starts with the meet.
I’ve known Garrett Hollis since before I can remember, and I’ve loved him just as long. I loved him while he loved someone else. I loved him when he had a baby with her. I loved him when she left him.
