16. Rachel Hawkins - Demonglass (Hex Hall #2)
Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch. Turns out, Sophie’s a demon, one of only two in the world—the other being her father. What’s worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will destroy her powers. But once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. Her new friends? They’re demons too. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they’re using Archer Cross to do it. But it’s not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she? 4 stars. I'm loving this series even though it reminds me a bit of Blue Bloods.
17. Jen Calonita - Family Affairs (Secrets of My Hollywood Life #3)
The filming for sure-to-be-blockbuster movie Pretty Young Assassins has wrapped, and teen movie star Kaitlin Burke returns to life on the set of primetime drama Family Affair. After ten seasons filming, she would have thought that she could see it all coming, but with a plotting new actress on set, all bets are off. The new diva, Alexis, makes even Sky seem like a puppy in comparison. Can Kaitlin keep her sane boyfriend, her insane job, and her composure in the face of this new star power? 4 stars. Though the story is predictable, it's still fun to read this book. If Kaitlin were real and I'm younger, I'll probably be a fan of hers.
18. Robyn Carr - Virgin River
When the recently widowed Melinda Monroe sees a midwife ad she quickly decides that the remote mountain town of Virgin River might be the perfect place to escape her heartache, and to reenergize the nursing career she loves. But her high hopes are dashed within an hour of arriving: the cabin is a dump, the roads are treacherous and the local doctor wants nothing to do with her. Realizing she's made a huge mistake, Mel decides to leave town the following morning. But a tiny baby, abandoned on a front porch, changes her plans-and a former marine cements them into place. Melinda Monroe may have come to Virgin River looking for escape, but instead she finds her home. 4 stars. This is the first book in the long series. It's nicely written, a bit like Kristan Higgins and Toni Blake. If you like small towns and a heartwarming story, this is a good one to try.

19. Christie Ridgway - Not Another New Year's
After all, this year brought Hannah Davis nothing but the memory of her wandering fiancé marrying someone else behind her back. Now, sitting alone at a bar in Coronado, California, on December 31, she decides to do something radical . . . and lets a brooding good-looker take her to bed. Ex-Secret Service Agent Tanner Hart screwed up, big-time! Hoping to temporarily boot some of the ghosts from his life, he hooked up with this sexy stranger for a hot one-night stand—only to discover she's the woman he's agreed to protect . . . from men just like him! 4 stars. Nice read though I didn't get too caught up with the characters. Their romance went too fast so it felt unreal to me and predictable. But still a nice story.
20. Marie Force - Fatal Affair
Washington, D.C., Metro Police Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career--and her confidence--after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O'Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case. Matters get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O'Connor's friend and chief of staff...and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, and Sam has to fight to stay focused on the case. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can't afford--especially when the bodies keep piling up. 4 stars. Really good book, Force kept me guessing until the last minute for the killer (which was only revealed on the last chapter).20. Marie Force - Fatal Affair
