Parenting Sensibly: Turning Messes Into Successes by Lynda Satre is a book that offers support and guidance through those harrowing years of child raising and hoping you come out the other side still sane and alive. Lynda has written about her experiences and provides techniques that may or may not work for you. I think anyone who reads this book will come away with at the very least one thing that will get you thinking. There is a lot of helpful information in this book so give it a try but remember what works for one may not work for all but they did help Lynda who is a mother of 10 kids.
Cold Bastard, the second book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells, is a contemporary romantic suspense. I immediately was taken with the plot, characters and pace of this story. The characters were well written with a suspenseful presence throughout the novel. From secrets to unknown variables and alpha men abound, this story was terrific from start to finish. I really like the men as they were written in the story, both the good and not so good, it made the characters stand out and each stood firm within your mind as you progress through the story. I have not read the previous book in this series, but I didn’t feel that I was missing out on anything by not reading it prior to Cold Bastard. However, as much as I enjoyed this book, I cannot wait to read more in this series.

‘Secrets of Spring’ is the third book in the Seasons of Jefferson Series by Julie Solano and Tracy Justice. As it is the third book in the series, I do recommend reading it after the first two books, so you get all the relevant details, character information and an understanding of the storyline- that way you will have the best possible reading experience of this book. This story has secrets, trauma, mystery, suspense, drama, heartache, intrigue, difficult situations, and romance. Having enjoyed the previous two so much, I wasn’t sure where this story would lead, especially after some of the events of the previous book/s- and I wasn’t sure if the authors could ‘deliver the goods’ yet again. But I was curious and happy to dive in to find out…… and I am blown away by this engrossing read. It was superb! There is no way I could have predicted the storyline or how it developed. I am happy to report that this is the best of the series! The pick of the bunch! It is sooo well written, full of surprising developments that really left me hanging on to the edge of my chair in anticipation. I have loved Jenna through the series- she’s a fantastic character, but what unraveled through this story, and what we discover about her- was completely unexpected and compelling to read. Then we add Ty to the mix and this story really takes off. We also meet up with the gang from the previous book/s, as the authors weave this complex and multi-layered. I was so absorbed by what I was reading, I didn’t put it down until I’d read every word, finishing it in an evening. This story portrays true to life characters and situations- the authors addressing many issues faced by young people today. The authors tackle them honestly, in an informative way- which makes this book/series very realistic, believable and entirely relatable. The characters were all fully developed and interesting individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. We got to meet ‘real’ people, warts and all. I became very invested in their story, and the end result. This is a brilliant addition to the series, and well worth the read! I am excited by what these talented authors do next!

Violet Blood (Murder in Savannah Book 4) by Lindsay Marie Miller is the final book in the series. This series should be read in order so you understand the back story and all the characters involved. I have been looking forward to reading this the final story and Lindsay didn’t let us down. The writing and the pace of the story flow easily and nd we have watched the characters grow both as individuals and together as they have fought their way through all that has been thrown at them. All the lies and deceit, the twists and turns and the mystery and mayhem have made them so much stronger together.
It’s a little sad to say goodbye to these characters as we have been through so much together but everything must come to an end and Lindsay ended it well.

Cold Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 2) by India Kells is a real page turner and the chaos start from the very beginning. We are thrown into a world where power and money mean more than blood. Where a monster will get what he wants and doesn’t care who or what he destroys to get there. The mystery and intrigue will keep you on the edge of your seat and with all the twists and turns you don’t see what’s coming.
India has lead us through a world where suspense and danger are the name of the game. Where secrets and lies could ruin it all. Where monsters lurk and cause havoc. Where love is is found in the unlikely of circumstances.
What would you do to keep all those you love safe?
Violet Blood is the 4th book in the Murder in Savannah Series by Lindsay Marie Miller, and also the final book in this amazing series that I have grown to love. Following Addie and Tom, seeing them grow as characters in these book have been amazing. So many ups and downs have shaped them throughout this whole series. So many secrets have been ousted, so many discoveries along the way. The road to this book has not always been easy and sometimes very dangerous. The book again grabbed me and held me to the end just as the others before this one, but as I kept getting closer to the end, I dreaded it since I knew I would be saying goodbye to Addie and Tom. Lindsay Marie Miller, you gave us an amazing series that I know I will read many times, because Addie and Tom grew on me and gave them an ending they deserve. I truly cannot wait to read more by this author.
Dragon Ascendants is the first book in the Luminess Legends Series by Paul E. Vaughn. This is an epic fantasy, full of dragons, elves, dwarves, mythical creatures, magic, adventure, action, villainous foe, drama, danger…. and much more. This was a great story- wonderfully written and full of spellbinding details. The world building was superb, realistic and believable. The storyline was unpredictable, with twists and surprising developments that added an extra layer and elements of interest. There were a lot of characters, who were really well developed and fully realised individuals. Tallen, in particular, was fantastic and he was very likeable. He was a character who drew me into the story and made me want to know where this story would lead. I was captivated and read the whole book in one sitting. …”the terror of what is to come”…… the storyline continues into the next book, leaving us on somewhat of a cliffhanger- so I will definitely be reading the next book to find out what happens.

Kentucky Bluegrass Wedding is a companion novella to “Foolish Gamble”, the first book in the Classic Romance Series by Lita Lawson. It is a contemporary romance that continues the story of Cassi and Austin, who we met in “Foolish Gamble”. With a wedding on the horizon, Cassi and Austin are set to take their relationship to the next level, but are all their plans about to be hijacked by his Momzilla? Where will this leave them? Will they make it down the aisle, or will their dreams be snatched away? If you haven’t read “Foolish Gamble” yet I strongly recommend that you do, as it introduces these wonderful characters and their incredibly romantic story, which will help you have the best possible reading experience of this book- and not to mention that it is a brilliant 5 Star read. Foolish Gamble had a real heart and soul that Ms. Lita was able to recapture in this story. It’s very enjoyable and had me completely engrossed. Her skilled word craft made the storyline and all the characters come to life. I enjoyed revisiting some favourite characters and seeing what has happened since I ‘saw’ them last. If you are looking for a light, feel good romance that has just the right amount of drama and tension to hook you; then this is definitely the one for you! And, how gorgeous is that cover!
Kentucky Bluegrass Wedding by Lita Lawson is a romance story. This is a very very short story that says so much in few words. The story line is as sweet as are the characters and their chemistry is sizzling and sexy . The story flowed quickly and easily and is and enjoyable read. This is my first book that I have read by Lita and look forward to reading more from her..
Covert Identities is a superb enemies to lovers and second chance story by Amabel Daniels. Ms. Daniels has a real talent for creating addictively good storylines, and this one is no exception. This story was intriguing and engrossing, it had mystery, drama, romance, some suspense, and there was a lot more to the story than meets the eye. It was so easy to lose myself (in a great way) in this story, tearing through it in a matter of hours, because I really had to know what would happen. The subtle complexities in the storyline seemed effortless, but are a true testament to Ms. Daniels talents as an author. A celebrity dancer, her childhood nemesis, a hunky contractor, her best friend, human remains, an ex-police dog, an intriguing diary, and a dilapidated mansion are just some of the elements that come together in this superb read. How does it all play out? You really should read all the riveting details for yourself. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. There is a lot going on in the story, all of which is brilliantly choreographed by Ms. Daniels into a smooth and very enjoyable read. The story was a little bit slow to get going, but after a couple of chapters, the story really took off and I was hooked right through to the last word. Ms. Daniels kept me guessing the whole way through. There were several scenarios that passed through my mind, making me wonder where the story would end up. I loved how Ms. Daniels twisted and turned the story, sprinkling surprises and unexpected details into the story. I am really looking forward to reading the next book/s from Ms. Daniels.
Arousing Inferno is the third and final book in The Arousing Trilogy by Cam Johns. This story picks up where the previous book finished off. I have really liked reading this series, each book coaxing me further into the story to the point where I am/was emotionally invested in Jackson and Karisma’s story. I couldn’t help but feel the need to following all their ups and downs, lowest of lows- and the fear, heartache, and turmoil Thomas Malcolm subjected them to- pretty much putting them through the wringer. You know the point where enough is enough- well that’s the story in this book, they have had enough, and are ready to end it- to douse the inferno that threatens everything. The author left me guessing quite a lot with plot twists and surprises. I was, at one point questioning the characters and wondering what they were thinking. To say that some of the scenes left me frustrated with the character/s would be an understatement. But that all helped to set the tone and mood of the story and giving it added drama and intrigue. The suspense was really well written, the tension was perfect, getting me to the edge of my seat, needing to know what was happening. A superb way to conclude the trilogy. Now to see what Ms. Johns does next.

….This is me staring blankly at the screen trying to figure out how I could possibly do this book the justice it deserves- because I don’t think I can, it’s just that good…
There has to be a way to give a book more than a 5 Star rating, because this book deserves more!!
Wow… Wow….Wow!!! Inescapable is a heart shattering, exceptional page turner by C.J Fallowfield. This is my first book from this author, and what a phenomenal introduction! I will be limbering up my ‘one-click’ finger and going on a C.J Fallowfield book buying binge ASAP, and devouring everything I can get my hands on. This story had me gripped so tightly in its clasp, squeezing me, making me gasp one minute from the horrific details that were shocking my senses- then making me grin like an idiot or laughing out loud in the next moment because of the funny banter or antics happening on the page. Yes, this story was emotionally charged, and showcased some incredibly horrific and shattering situations that made my heart and head hurt- but I loved every gripping detail and every unforgettable moment!! Ms. Fallowfield writes such complex, slightly quirky, and all too endearing characters (well except for the deranged villain- but evoking hate is also a sign of a brilliant author). I couldn’t help but adore them from the get-go and form a one-person cheer squad, cheering them on every step of the way. Yes, I’ll admit that I was completely attached to Alex and Tate (and the rest of the cast)- and their journey. The secondary characters were some of the best supporting cast that I have ever met- they really help elevate this story into the exceptional piece of work that it is. Tom with his TMI, funny banter and quips was just hilarious- I loved him so hard! Then Sharon, Janice, Ester, Dawn, and Sarah all made their impression on me, too. Rosie completely melted my heart, she’s just so delightful. The story is superbly crafted- intense, sexy and multi-layered. All the elements were molded into a smooth and well-balanced story that had me in a page flipping frenzy to follow what was happening. I couldn’t put it down and demolished the book in an afternoon. Incredible! I can’t wait to read more of Ms. Fallowfields work!
