Review ~ Unpredictable (Key West, #1) by C.A. Harms

ebook downloaded for free via Amazon.

Release Date: April 14th 2015

Publisher: Limitless Publishing LLC

Description:
Have you ever wished for a moment that you could pretend to live the life of someone else? Escape the harsh reality that your own is anything but perfect? 

Quinn Tucker had always been forced to put her own needs last. 

With an absent father and a mother who drowns herself daily in a bottle of Rum, there was no other option. 

Jett Jameson was the distraction Quinn needed, even if it was just for one night. 

A void filler, and a chance for a moment to allow herself to feel something other than emptiness. 

He wasn’t what she expected. 

Gentle. 

Her life didn’t have room for a man like Jett. 

Unpredictable. 

But now it was too late, there was no turning back. 

Desire. 

Nothing would ever be the same…

My Opinion

If I'm honest, this isn't one of my favourites by this author. Usually I really enjoy her work, but for me this one fell a little flat.

The start of this book intrigued me, but the more I read the less engaged I became. I wanted to like it but everything moved too quickly for my liking and so I struggled to connect with the romance. Similarly, I kept expecting more to happen. The story felt like it was building to something bigger than what I got.


Saying that, overall it was a quick easy read. It didn't dig too deep and it isn't a bad book, I've just preferred her other series more.

Review ~ Tattooed Hearts by C.A. Harms

ebook purchased by myself.

Release Date: December 13th 2016

Publisher: Self-published

Description:


Permanent

An indefinite, everlasting and imperishable stamp.

Like a tattoo

One that would forever be with you to remind you of a single moment in time, or a person that touched you in some way.

That was exactly what Jenny was to Sean.

And no matter how hard he tried, he could never forget the one girl who would forever have his heart.

A lifetime of friendship, shattered by one irreversible mistake.
A choice that Jenny would forever regret, but only because it pushed away the one person she truly loved.
A love so deep that they felt as if they were one.
Years passed, and still that love remained deep…stamped with an unfading ink.

When their paths cross after six years of longing, they are faced with a choice.
Forget the past and let go of the heartache…giving in to the temptation that was always there.
Or continue to torture themselves by avoiding what was always meant to be.

Tattooed Hearts of endless love…

Will it be enough or will the memories of their past create an unbreakable wedge between them.

My Opinion

This is definitely one of the better CA Harms books I've read. It held me from start to finish and I loved the driver aspect.

Tattooed Hearts is an emotional, but in general, a sweet second chance love story. Sean and Jenny are childhood friends who never got the chance to be more before they fell out of contact. This book is about their story six years later as they find each other again and begin to connect.

Sean was an all-round good guy. He was sweet, caring, protective, and just loveable. Maybe he was a little too perfect, but I couldn't help but like him. The fact he was a racer had me from the first time I saw the cover too.

As for Jenny she'd had her ups and downs in he life--more downs--but she put on a brave face for her son. I sympathised with her and rooted for her and Sean.


Overall, this is one of my favourite reads by this author. It's a standalone romance so I'd definitely say check it out.

Review ~ Deceitful Choices by C.A. Harms

Title: Deceitful Choices

Author: C.A. Harms

Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone

Release Date: August 2, 2016

Some lies you just can’t come back from. 

The damage is too deep. 

The effects are too strong, and the path they lead you on can be devastating. 

One lie only led to another as Lindsay tried to be someone she wasn’t. She wanted just one moment to pretend she didn’t live the life she had been cursed with. 

She wanted to live without regret. 

Live for the moment. 

She wanted to laugh and smile without feeling as if at any moment something or someone would corrupt that happiness. But all lies have a way of resurfacing. Those deceitful words can come back to haunt you, leaving you as the one heartbroken and alone. 

Zack had taken a trip with a fellow Navy SEAL. Just a weekend away to regroup. Never had he intended to find the girl who would jumpstart his heart. 

Only then to destroy it. 

But the shattered pieces of his trust weren’t the only things he left behind when he walked away from Lindsay. There was now an innocent life that had been thrown in to the mix. 

But Lindsay wasn’t the only one who lied... 

The odds were stacked against them. There was someone doing everything they could to keep them apart. 

But when the truth is told, and those secrets are revealed, they must decide if they have what it takes… 

To survive the deceit.


Review

I have read quite a few books by this author over the last few months so of course I had to sign up to read Deceitful Choices. It came just at the right time when I was looking for a military romance.

I will admit, I didn't think I was going to like this book when I started it. There is a lot of info dumped on you at the start and it makes for slow reading. However, since I've loved books by this author in the past I stuck with it.

In the end I'm glad I did because once I got past the first few chapters I fell into the author's world and easy style of writing again.

Deceitful Choice was an easy, simple read. It's a heartwarming story that fills you with love. It doesn't delve into details too much, and flows pretty quickly, but I enjoyed it.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend it. Stick with it past the first few chapters and it'll be worth it.

Blog Tour Review ~ Always His (Crazed Devotion #1) by C.A. Harms

Title: Always His

Series: Crazed Devotion #1

Author: C.A. Harms

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published: May 9, 2016

Forgiveness … 

It isn’t always as easy as it sounds. 

Becoming a Marine had been Ryker’s dream, but that dream faded when it led to losing the one girl who held his heart. 

Returning to Alabama after being gone for more than five years was going to be hard, but he couldn’t continue to live without her. 

His world seemed empty and there was only one thing that could heal that void. 

Find Nicole… 

Beg for her forgiveness… 

And never let her go again. 

She would always be his...

My Opinion

This is the second book I've read by this author now. I found Always His to be a sweet, heart-warming read, that held my interest so that I sped through it.

I dived into this book the minute it appeared in my kindle and had finished it within a few hours. This author has a gentle style of writing that's great for purely escaping from the real world. It draws you in and keeps you hooked.

Always His is a cute romance about Ryker returning home after a stint in the Marines to fight for the girl he left behind. The romance is sweet, and there's definitely a connection. I did feel things moved a little too quickly and were a bit drama-less at times. Everything just seemed too easy and I wanted Ryker to have to work harder to win Nicole over.

Saying that though, that's what made it a great escape read. It remained light-hearted for most of the book and kept a smile on my face.

Overall, this was another good read. I enjoyed it and will most likely be looking out for book two.
