Addicted to Love is the second book in A.M. Myers’ Bayou Devils MC series and I was fortunate to have discovered the series when three books were out so I did not have to suffer any book hangover! You could read it as a standalone but you are meeting all the characters you were introduced to in the first book so do yourself a favour and start with book one! Chance and Carly are the two that are in the limelight in this story of MC brotherhood and camaraderie. I heart bled for Carly and I cried and I wished for Chance to be able to get through the walls she had built around herself … and Chance, I wish that every one of us could experience in our lives the man he is … Don’t be fooled though, it is not just some sort of a simple love story taking place in a MC world, it is filled with action and drama and there are quite a few times when the writer pulls the rug from under you and … there is a cherry on the top of it all – at no point you need to wonder what Carly or Chance is thinking as the writer gives us both of their voices! I cannot wait to dive into the next story in the series!

I Am Kimberly Cole: A Journey into Terror was a creepy 5 star read. This book definitely has some twisted moments and scenes that really threw me off.
This is a story that is told in multiple POV’s. At first I wasn’t sure how they were all connected until there was a huge twist and Madison meets Kimberly while out clubbing.
Madison and her daughter Terri are homeless and have been living in shelters for years. Madison is trying to make enough money to get them into their own home. Meeting Kimberly definitely changes their lives.
Just as Madison thinks things are going great for them there is a huge twist. A twist that causes Madison to impersonate Kimberly. What Madison doesn’t realize is that she has just put her and her daughter in serious twisted danger. Kimberly had some serious skeletons in her closet and Madison just opened the door.
There were some really way out their scenes that creeped me out and had me wondering what the heck I just read. All of the secondary characters were great and the ending was a WTF kind of moment, what a way to end it. I’m wondering if R.G. Miller will be continuing this story. This was a quick read that really pulls you in.

Phoenix Rising was a great 5 star read and book 7 in the Fortis Security Series.
I loved this book and it’s characters. You get pulled in right from the beginning with the prologue, my heart just broke for Daniel and his daughter.
We jump ahead a year when Megan is in a serious accident, but was it an accident? And Daniel is struggling with his feelings for her, which come out tenfold when he sees her at the accident scene. He is no longer willing to worry about what his best friend and her brother will do when he finds out how he feels.
After their one night together Megan couldn’t get Daniel out of her head and heart. But he was treating her like she didn’t exist, not understanding why. She then discovers something that will change both of their lives, how will he react to the news?
This man was probably the most dangerous man in the world to her, part of her knew she should run, but the bigger part of her wanted to curl up at his feel like a contented kitten.
We move forward with this great read, to encounter more secrets along with more dangerous twists and turns, especially when the past comes back to haunt Megan. Will Daniel and the Fortis Security team be able to keep her safe? This was an on the edge of your seat, nail biting read. I read this in one sitting, I just couldn’t put it down. I really loved all of the secondary characters, they are like one big family. I’m super excited to get my hands on the next book in the series. I highly suggest 1-clicking and getting started today on this great series.

I Am Kimberly Cole: A Journey into Terror by R.G. Miller
5 Stars
Evil Genius….That is one of the first thoughts I had about this author when I got over my textbook tantrum after reading the ending of this book. Well, after I reread the last page like 17 times…
I just don’t know what to say so I’ll go the easy route… This is not my first book by this author, everything I’ve read so far has had me all kinds of messed up but nothing and I mean NOTHING has messed with my mind like this little gem. I will not say one word about any plot specifics..That wouldn’t be fair to anyone that chooses to read this book. I will say though that I think I’m going to read it again. Not because I need to to see if I liked it, but because now Im scanning through my mind wondering what in the hell I missed…LOL I can’t figure it out, and I can only hope that there is another book coming, Please Please let there be another book, and the title would be pretty obvious I think. I must have more, not that it was an easy read in some parts but that didn’t matter, I could not put it down and the last 25% or so I swear I was reading in twice my normal speed.
I cant believe a book that was only 100 and some pages could be so full of as much content as this one was. Im almost speechless and will be thinking about this I just know for a few days trying to figure it all out!
Evil Genius…..I can almost picture him when he typed the last word of this book sitting there with an evil grin saying yes That will do…..
I was hooked a few books ago, but this one….you have a new Forever Fan RG Miller!!!
Brilliant, shocking, scary, eerie, mind shattering and did I say Brilliant…

The Kitty Committee by Kathryn Berla is a dark coming of age story. It tells the story of Grace, a naïve girl who gets caught up in a dangerous friendship group. The narrative switches between different points in time, so we get Grace’s experiences as a teenager and the impact it has on her as an adult side-by-side. This is very effective – we know something bad will happen and have some clues as to what but have to wait to find out what. It reminded me a lot of Mean Girls at times. Grace’s parents are missionaries and she has spent most of her life away from America. Initially, she has a hard time adjusting to high school until she is accepted by Carly and Maggie. It also reminded me a bit of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, particularly nearer the start. I was worried at times that it was going to be too much like Mean Girls (not that I have anything against Mean Girls!) but the structure allows for the girls’ choices and actions to have much deeper and more serious consequences. There’s a lot going on in this story – sometimes it feels like a bit too much to follow everything at once but it’s also very enjoyable. Grace spends some time travelling around Europe which was particularly fun to read about! For me, this is a four star book. I’d recommend it to fans of high school stories like Mean Girls who are after something a bit darker.

Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series and I LOVED it!The story was sweet and emotional and had an easy flow to it.
We meet Clay who is a song writer and Katie who works in an insurance business. Both run into each other at their high school reunion where they spent the night talking to one another. Clay has always had a thing for Katie but has always been too leery on telling her. Their relationship progresses and slowly turns into love. I loved how believable this book was. You actually got to see the relationship grow instead of insta-love connection by page 2.
K.G. Fletcher did a beautiful job writing these characters and I cannot wait for more!
Sonnet is a career driven perfectionist. Andrew is a late twenties bartender who lives with his parents. Sonnet and Andrew grew up together and have hated each other for years after competing for every academic achievement in their school careers. The only thing that kept them close during school was Andrew’s Aunt Penny who was Sonnet’s next door neighbor. Aunt Penny has big plans in store for them and the trouble ensues! This book was such a fun, quick read! I love the whole enemies finding a common ground and becoming friends trope, especially when it involves such interesting characters as Sonnet and Andrew. This is the second book in the Romance in Rehoboth series, but doesn’t necessarily need to be read in order. I recommend reading “Fat Girl” first so you get a better feel for some characters that are in both books. Sonnet is such an amazingly bright and complex character to read about. I loved hers and Andrews’ passions in life and how driven they are by them. This book truly was just enjoyable to read! I give “The Flip” five stars!! Reviewed by @emilybee430
Wow! What a fun book! As a lover of musical theatre, this book was right up my alley. I used to do plays and musicals in high school and this book really took me back to all the fun, all the drama and all the friends I made during theatre. This book is about Lindy, an overweight teacher who is too scared to try out for a major role but certainly has the chops for it! Meric is a slightly OCD accountant recovering from heartbreak, and is captivated by Lindy when he hears her sing. This book has all the common pitfalls of community theatre and oh so much more! I really loved reading about these characters and what the show means to them. As a warning, this book is the third in the Romance in Rehoboth series and I highly recommend reading the first two books to get a feel for the area and the people who crop up. This is such a fun series and I love every minute of it! So, of course, I give K.L Montgomery’s “Plot Twist” five stars!! Reviewed by @emilybee430
“Fat Girl” is an inspiring tale of growth and inner strength by K.L. Montgomery. Our “Fat Girl” is Claire, who has battled body image issues from a young age and finds herself at 38 and desperately needing to reinvent her life. She is a wise, witty and wacky character who I ended up really relating to by the end of the book. The story reads like a diary, a nearly weekly account of Claire’s attempts to change her life. While the story tends to get long winded in parts, I found the details to really help explain how Claire thinks and how she acts. This is a story I feel like many women can relate to on some level. Whether their love life is in trouble or the battle with weight and body image issues, I feel many women could benefit from reading this. As a person who struggles with weight, I knew this book would speak to me. I had no idea just how much I would get from this story though. Claire seems like she could be any one of us and that makes her so relatable! So, I give “Fat Girl” five stars!!
Summer Fling by Tarrah Anders is sexy, sweet and fun- an entertaining, heart-warming and light-hearted story that captivated me right from the first page. This standalone is one that you won’t want to miss. I really enjoy Ms. Ander’s writing, she has an easy, inviting and sexy style- and is a very talented storyteller. I have read most of her books now and she never disappoints. Emma is wary and doesn’t trust men after a bad experience. Her issues mean that she doesn’t date vacationers either, because they don’t stick around after their summer fun. But, her home town is a summer destination and the season is about to start. Royce is new to town, he’s got plans and wants to put down some roots. (I would love to tell you what brought him to town and why he’s sticking around- but I think it would spoil the surprise). He and Emma meet at a party and spend a drunken night together. What happens when they run into each other a couple of days later? Can he convince her that he’s sticking around long term and gain her trust? Will she give him a chance to prove it? Does their relationship have a future, or will there be an expiration date? And what happens when the past returns to haunt them? So, what does happen, you ask? You really should read all the details for yourself- because this book has so much going for it….. its playful, funny, spicy, romantic, and is a great, feel-good read! I can’t wait to find out what comes next!

Badge Bunny (Romance in Rehoboth Book 4) K.L. Montgomery is the fourth book in the series and just as fun as the others. I enjoy reading books that K.L. writes as they are fun and quirky and make you laugh out loud. I also love that she writes in several POV’s which makes them even funnier when you are reading from the male perspective. I absolutely adored each one I have read. I suggest you read them in order as the characters cross over and make them feel like old friends. One Cop possibly looking for love, One Doctor sworn off Cops, One Wedding, One Storm and some misunderstandings make for some interesting times and one great read. Trust me when I say you can not, not read this series. I can’t wait to see what K.L. has for us next.

Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann is a quick and easy read that you will read in one sitting. It is a young adult story about experiencing life in high school and trying to work out who you are. It is an emotional read as someone who was once happy with who they were is now trying to deal with feelings that are completely foreign. Deidre wrote characters that are relateable and you can see everything in your minds eye. This is an enjoyable read that you will interest any young adult.
Burning Britely by Deidre Huesmann was the first time I had read anything from Huesmann and I truly enjoyed the novel. It was a short, yet jam-packed, novel. I would definitely recommend it to those that are looking for a coming of age story to share with their teens or tweens that are questioning their place in the world. It really resounds with that part of all of us as humans that always fight that slight struggle to figure out where we fit amongst the crowd we are floating among at the time. My daughter is currently eleven years old and I would say that she would be able to read and enjoy this in a year or two from now. I would recommend this as one of those conversation starter books, or book club books to read with your tween/teen clubs.
In this story we find out all about Jeff, who turns out to be the social outcast of the high school. He is the awkward one without a clique to fall into. When he is assigned to tutor the star athlete of the school, Braeden, he knows this will lead to nowhere good. Everyone loves Braeden and Braeden loves everyone. What neither expect is for a friendship to blossom between them. Even more shocking Jeff begins to develop romantic feelings for Braeden. In fact, he has fallen in love with Braeden Britely.
The emotions! Holy cow are they ever flowing in this book! I was up and then down, and it was a non-stop ride from beginning to end with this book. I loved how this was relatable at thirty-three just as much as I could see it being relatable to a younger adult. This is the stuff we need to be out there discussing with our children. Talking about and bringing to the forefront, making it normal and ok to be open about. These are feelings that happen to people every day. Thank you Deidre Huesmann for bringing them to life and making them approachable. We need more books like this. I can’t wait to see what else is out there from you and what else you have to come.
Astonishing! Brilliant! Terrifying! Here is the thing… I am beyond hooked on R.G. Miller’s novels. I have been ever since I picked up his debut novel, The Twins. That particular novel gave me nightmares and played with my subconscious long after I finished the last pages. The makings of a great thriller novel. Each one following it seemed to outdo the one before, an almost impossible task. When I saw that he had a new one out with new characters I was beyond excited and I was chomping at the bit to get it in my hand. My only complaint is that this was so short! Don’t worry, it did not hinder this novel at all. For only being 93 pages, this sucker packed one hell of a punch!
I am so torn. I want badly to give you a glimpse into this novel, to reel you in and make you grab this book and all of Miller’s novels with a one-click fever, you would not be one bit disappointed. I also can’t bare the idea of spoiling anything either. Being short it feels as if everything is integral. I do feel as if I could share a snippet, one of my favorite spots in the book. Perhaps you will be persuaded to go and grab at least this one, if not all his available titles. It is coming up on the season of cozy blankets, hot drinks, spooky reads, and cooler weather. This may be just what is missing from your kindle collection???
It was 3:00 AM when Madison carried her child into their hotel room. She lay Terri on the bed and removed her clothes. Afterward, Madison walked back into the living room. She poured herself a drink, then sat on the couch. I don’t believe in al that mess. Voodoo and spells, she thought. “Nonsense.” She stood up and walked towards the balcony. She stopped at the door. Why did he do it? And why did he did it in front of Terri? Maddison thought about the smell of burnt flesh. Why did she smell like that? Madison shook the thoughts from her mind. “It’s impossible…” The words that Timothy had shouted at her before his body burst into tiny bits of flames all seemed like a dream. I imagined the whole thing. “That Toby character must’ve drugged my food or something, had me seeing things,” she said aloud.
Madison finished off her drink, then she poured herself another. Before she had finished her second drink; Madison was sound asleep. She dreamt of the same elderly man. The man, who seemed to be her father, was yelling at her about getting a job. “Kimberly,” he shouted, “I am not your personal bank. You will get yourself a job and pull your own weight.” Then the dream switched. Madison saw herself standing in a bathroom. She was crying. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, her face was that of Kimberly Cole. Madison popped out of her dream drenched in sweat. The dream had frightened her. Madison looked at her watch. It was 4:30 am. She staggered a little as she made her way towards the balcony. She took a deep breath of the warm, night air. “Freakin’ dream,” she muttered. She sat in on the balcony chairs and stared at the stars, she bit her fingernails ashes thought about the two nightmares she’d had. “What the hell did she do-¬ “Suddenly, Madison stood straight up. “She burned down the house, killing her parents and two little sisters. Timothy was burned trying to save Tiffany and Emma. At the funeral he said that he knew what I-“Madison froze. She stood up and paced the balcony. “How do I know that? What the hell is going on?” Madison’s heart was beating rapidly. She ran her hand up and down her arm. She felt herself getting dizzy. Madison sat back down and took long, deep breaths to calm her nerves. “How the hell did I know that?” she asked herself again. “Kimberly must’ve- no, she didn’t tell me anything about her life.” Madison stood up again. She walked over to the railing. She peeked into her bedroom to make sure Terri was okay.
Madison ambled towards the bathroom and sat down on the toilet seat. She buried her face in her hands. Madison sat there for five minutes pondering over her recent revelation. “How did I know that?” She stood up and walked over toward the mirror. Half of her face was that of a friend, Kimberly Cole, the other half was her own. Madison gasped and threw her hands up to her moth. She stumbled backward and bumped into the toilet. In the mirror, her fingers were long and slender; there was god fingernail polish on them. Madison’s left eye was blue, and the other was brown, and her breast looked larger. Her blood ran cold. She covered her face with her hands and shook her head rapidly. “This can’t be possible.” When she looked at the mirror again, she saw her own reflection.

I went into this book with an open mind. I don’t live this lifestyle but I guess its something that’s always intrigued me. I will tell you I was blown away! I’ve never had my jaw hit the floor so many times in one book (NOT IN A BAD WAY). Albeit this book is short but it does give you an insight to the lifestyle and answered some questions that I’ve been wondering.
I loved Charlotte and Benton. Charlotte is such a lovable character. She is in need of a job and a place to stay which lead her to Gordon’s for an interview. That’s where she meets Benton and he’s overcome with the urge to take care of her. I loved seeing Charlotte learn about age play and how she’s becomes comfortable with it. I’m definitely intrigued by this series and Miss North packs a punch with her story writing!

Broken Circle by Amy McKinley is the first book in her Gray Ghost series! It is also the first book I have read by this writer so I was very curious about her story telling ways when I picked it up! I have to say that I had nothing to be concerned about! I absolutely loved it! I loved it so much that I also picked up the ‘prelude’ to the series that I had somehow missed AND also the second book of the series! (Reviews to come!) I loved Amy’s writing style – it was flowing and smooth like molasses AND it kept me at the edge of my seat until I came to the last page! There are twists and turns in this story and I tell you, every single character has their purpose and you cannot take anyone away! It is a story of betrayal and ‘illusion’ – you think that something is going on but you do not actually see what truly is going on under the surface … I loved Olivia, I loved how she grew throughout the story and found her strength (and stubbornness)! And when her blinders come off … be prepared for fireworks!

Eye of the Storm is the second book in Amy McKinley’s Gray Ghost series! I dived straight into it after finishing the first book as I had fallen in love with Amy’s storytelling ways! Even though the stories can be read as standalone, do yourself a favour and read the first book as well as you will enjoy Eye of the Storm even more once you have done it. Amy continues with her smooth storytelling and emotional rollercoaster, there are twists and turns that you do not see coming and just imagine, it is all happening in the wilderness of Colombian jungle! The writer is so meticulous with how she describes the jungle, how her characters come across and boy, the secrets … they are like a cherry on top of the cream! I loved how Amy gave us two strong and independent (and stubborn) characters (Mari and Chris) that make the story unforgettable! How can you give the story a cold shoulder when there is action, emotion and …. Secrets … but I already said that! So, pick up a copy and run away to the jungle with Marie and Chris and maybe, just maybe, you will return in one piece!

The Kitty Committee: A Novel of Suspense by Kathryn Berla
5 Stars
I’ve read most of this authors books and she always has a way of getting me hooked early…This one took a bit and I wasn’t sure whether I understood what was going on till somewhere around the middle of the book. I knew she was building up to something I was just trying to keep myself on track to know what that was.
Even before understanding what the secret was I was pulled in and could not put this book down. Now I think back and wonder what took me so long.
This was an awesome story, and the ending floored me…I was so totally off base and had no idea who was behind the yearly reminders that someone obviously knew the secret that only 3 people should have known.
I couldn’t help but feel so very sorry for Grace through most of this book, I loved her and I really loved Maggie, although a few times throughout I just wanted to bang their heads together and wake them up.
I love this author, and she always finds a way to surprise me with her stories, you never know what your going to dive into when you pick up one of her books, Im a forever fan and will be watching for what comes next. I highly recommend this book, but pay attention and don’t give up if it takes you a bit like it did me, you won’t be sorry you hung in there.

If anyone ever asks me what I want in a book boyfriend my answer will simply be go read Unbreak This Heart and meet Carter…
What a book! What an author! This is not my first read by Betty Shreffler and it won’t be my last..and Im not just saying that, I truly mean that. I love her writing style and her books flow so nicely. Ill admit at one point during the story my whole day was ruined but I kept the faith that this author would not do that to me and whether it turned out like I thought it would or not she wrote a beautiful story. It wasn’t always an easy story to read as far as content but it was handled so beautifully.
Do yourself a favor and pick this book up, it is amazingly awesome and I loved the characters in this story, even the one I truly didn’t like, there always has to be one and this character was done perfectly. I was shocked at the outcome of his part of the story, it wasn’t what I thought was going to happen and I’m actually thankful for that.
I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

Uncommon Sacrifice (War Girls Book 6) by Marion Kummerow
5 Stars
Awesome!! This is my first book by this author, I read the synopsis and was curious and decided to go out of my comfort zone and read a book that would normally never hit my kindle. These kinds of stories don’t normally hold my attention and are sometimes too real and they just simply bother me. This one though…..WOW…I read every single word, and found it really hard to put down to do real life stuff. I was worried after the first couple pages that it was going to fall flat for me as these types of books normally do. After those few pages it didn’t take long and I was 100% invested in this story. All I can say is that it must be the authors writing because it was completely and utterly amazing. It was not a very long book but was so full of perfectly written content that I can not explain how much I enjoyed reading this. I am also now looking back to the first 5 of this series and do believe I will be reading them all because now I can not wait for the next. It absolutely can be read as a standalone but I can tell there’s history with many of the characters that I really want.
I highly highly recommend this story!! It was simply amazing!!

Linda Gets Her Groove Thing is the second book in The Green Room Chronicles series by J.D Frettier. This is a paranormal fantasy, with plenty of laughs along the way. It is funny, cheeky, and entirely entertaining! There story has some supernatural elements, magic, karma, revenge, friendship, body enhancements, and some spice- in this witty romp. Linda White had her whole world crumble out from under her. All her dreams lay tattered. Her husband cheated on her, left her financially ruined, and then up and died on her before she could get a little revenge. She finds some herself relying on some battery operated stress relief, and had something special in mind for a long haul trip overseas. But, the company has a little mix up and Linda doesn’t get what she wanted. She has a bit of a conniption and ends up in the Green Room. There she meets Dee and Bonnie (Book #1), and hilarity ensues! As with the first book, the storyline is very original, clever, and quirky. The characters are quite endearing and quirky. Another light-hearted, fun, and slightly tongue-in-cheek look at the afterlife!

Frettier – Review by Angela Hayes
“Without a mate, all dragonkind males started to lose their souls. Then their humanity went, leaving them angry, fire-breathing, killing machines. Cass’s heart squeezed in his chest. Maya had hurt him more than he could have ever imagined when she severed their bond so that he wouldn’t follow her. Even worse was the feeling that he hadn’t been enough for her. That no matter his love, she obviously hadn’t felt the same.”
Casstiel is a dragon shifter romance by Sheri-Lynn Marean. This paranormal/fantasy took me on a journey full of love, loss, heartache, emotion, magic, revenge, pain, grief, redemption, action, adventure, and drama. The story is told from several perspectives, which gave an in-depth ‘look’ at what had/was happening. I like that the author provides a glossary at the beginning of the book, to help with all the names- it was handy and informative. There were a lot of characters and realms to get my head around, so the glossary really helped. Casstiel lost his beloved mate 10 years earlier and he’s been wracked by grief and anger ever since. When she died, killed by their enemy, she severed their bond, so Casstiel couldn’t follow her. He was SUPPOSED to be with her now and he can’t understand why she did what she did. It torments him every day! He isn’t truly living, stuck in the past and unable to move forward. His anger and hatred consume him and his family and friends worry about his state of mind. Something or someone is tether him to the world, and he wants to find them so he can sever the connection. When he finally finds the one responsible for tethering him, she is definitely not what he was expecting. He feels drawn to her and incredibly protective. Now the story gets really interesting!
“I’m so bloody tired of all this. For so long, he’d dreamed of finding the one holding him to life. He’d plotted his revenge, imagining what he was going to do once he finally found her. He would make her pay, make her hurt, just like he hurt. Then he’d break their connection and send her to hell. It had been all that kept him alive for the last ten years. But now that he’d met her, he couldn’t do it. No matter what he wanted to believe, she wasn’t some evil sorceress and she looked like she could be blown over by a stiff breeze.”
Ashara Hasn’t had an easy life. She’d been taken from her parents as a small child and forced into slavery. Then when she grew up she was forced to become a ‘breeder’ for the Illium (the enemy). She is a half-breed fire born dragon, but has never known what it’s like to shift into her dragon. She too feels tethered to someone, and the connection has brought her comfort. When she discovers the source of her connection, she’s a little shocked and frightened. Ashara and Cass have endured great loss and carry a lot of pain. These two embark on journey of discovery, filled with passion and pain- and we get to follow along as everything unfolds! The story is descriptive and detailed, bringing the whole story to ‘life’. Ms. Marean has wonderful world building skills, making her story quite ‘real’ and believable. I really enjoyed exploring her world and look forward to more adventures in the future.

This was a sensational tear-jerker of a novel from Marion Kummerow. I have never read anything from her before, but this will not be my last that is a promise! Given that this is the sixth book in the War Girls series, it did not affect my ability to enjoy it, but book one, War Girl Ursula, will be the starting point for me to begin devouring her other available novels. She also has non-fiction works available, if that is your cup of tea. I personally have been a huge fan of literature that has been centered on the WWII era since my middle school days, and this book happened to touch on that exactly, so immediately I was sold. I also knew I would be very much in need of the tissues by the end of the novel, which I did very much, so fair warning.
Peter is living in the worst of all hells on Earth. His days are spent dreaming of how to get out of the Nazi prison camp he calls home. One day all those dreams become possible when his wife coordinates an escape plan for him. There is one major hitch in the plan though. Peter’s brother. His brother is injured and already solely relying on his family to simply get through each day and the simplest of tasks. He will have to leave him behind. Can he sacrifice the life of his brother for his freedom? Is it worth it to simply prolong his brother’s life just a little bit? Death is certain for everyone eventually. Right? What would you do if you were forced to make a decision like this?

JD Frettier gave us side-splitting laughs with her first installment in The Green Room Chronicles Book #1, Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine. One again, Frettier delivers the hilarious scenes and romance fit to take you on one crazy trip to the ‘green room’. This is sort of like the equivalent to “purgatory”. I won’t lie, I kind of want to make a stop at the Green Room when I go. Between the upgrade options available for the body, the spa, quirky counselors to encourage all ideas (good and bad), and a team of ladies ready to be the besties to stand behind you while you exact that last plan of revenge from beginning to end. Yeah, I want to go!
Linda White never figured she would be where she is. She had just reached her middle point in life with all the financial security she could have ever asked for. Until her two-faced husband not only dies but his death reveals he had been leading a life of cheating behind her back, but they are buried in debt up to their ears. Couldn’t be worse right? Well…
Let’s just say Linda finds herself in the Green room. It isn’t long before the women there hear her story and a plan is hatched to get some much deserved revenge. Setting the scene for a lot of laughter and maybe even a few tears. I found myself reading this rather quickly and being super absorbed within the storyline from the very first page. I am highly anticipating the next adventure to come from the Green Room! Thanks so much JD Frettier!!

Uncommon Sacrifice (War Girls Book 6) Marion Kummerow is an historical fiction story and a very interesting read. It broke my heart to see how people were treated during a time of war, WWII. The story is one of survival and will, sacrifice and determination, friendship and love. Each character went through their own personal hell to survive, in one way or another and would do anything to find their way back to the ones they love. Marion writes of dark times where war crimes were committed and atrocities are committed against humans. We just don’t know how lucky we are to live in a world that we do. It is one thought provoking and heart wrenching read but a story that is well written and well worth the read.

I give Behind the Fan by Caroline Walken, 5 stars.
Dorothy Kennedy-Denham has lived a long, long life. At almost 100, she has out-lived her husband and her children. Now comes the time where she is no longer able to live in her own house any more. Her 2 granddaughters and 2 great-granddaughters come to clear her house and get ready to move her into a home. Little do they know just how life-changing this event will be for all of them. They are each broken in their own way. When they learn more about this older women’s life, they are amazed at just how interesting it really was. And they may just come to learn that there is more to life then to what they think.
This book was absolutely amazing. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I could not put this book down once I started. The details of Dottie’s life in the earlier years was so detailed, I really did feel like I was there. That era fascinates me and I was very happy at how well it was done. Then there is the present day and the things the younger generations learn affects them in way they never thought possible.
It is a book full of love, family, surviving the hardships, and moving on. Centered around a very strong woman, this book takes you on a journey the like you have never been. I highly recommend this book.

Let me start by saying what a book. You read the summary of the book and what it might bring as you read. It’s nothing compared to what you actually read. The blurb doesn’t give it enough justice. If I can be half as inspiring when I’m older as the main character I would be lucky. The first book I have read by this author and it was a cant put down kind of book! She is absolutely brilliant. The writing style, her descriptions, and the general story itself was amazing. This is a book you will want to read again and again. I need to find more books by this author!! She is amazing!

Kathryn Berla’s The Kitty Committee: A Novel of Suspense is a thrilling mystery. The author does a firm job of nailing the suspense and mystery within this story. The scenes in the story are well told and the method in which the author uses to progress from now versus then is done seamlessly as if it was yourself in the present and recalling memories of the past. It’s not always easy for an author to handle storytelling within the past/present without providing too many or too few details, that was not a problem. The story easily maintained my interest and I found this to be a good read.

The Kitty Committee: A Novel of Suspense by Kathryn Berla is full of secrets, suspense, mystery, manipulation, haunted memories, torment, and fear. It had a Pretty Little Liars vibe to it. Grace has been haunted by her past, never fully ‘living, always looking back, worrying, wondering, remembering. Every year she gets a reminder that someone else out there knows what happened, too- and won’t ever let her forget. It’s 20 years on- but she’s stuck in the past. What happened you may ask? What is the burden that she’s carried for all these years? Who knows her secret and sends the yearly reminders? What, and who are The Kitty Committee? All these answers can be found in this suspenseful tale. I have read all of Ms. Berla’s books now and was really excited to see she had written a suspenseful novel. I love a great suspense, so I quickly snatched up a copy to jump into. The story had a good pace, although it was somewhat slow to get going. The story switches back and forth from past and present perspectives. I spent a good majority of the time torn between needing to know what the secret was, thinking how the dialog didn’t really seem to suit a teenager, absolutely detesting Carly and wondering how no one saw through her, and feeling like the story just wasn’t meshing as well as I had hoped for. And when the big ‘reveal’ came, it felt rushed and wasn’t as detailed as I would have liked, or had expected from Ms. Berla. This isn’t my most favourite read of hers, which pains me because I normally rally love her work, but I will keep a lookout for her next release.

Must Remember is the first book in the Solum series by Colleen S. Myers. It is a ‘new adult’/science fiction story with a love triangle, action, adventure, aliens, magic, survival, memory loss, and good vs. evil. It is just under 200pages, which made it a quick and easy read. Elizabeth (Beta) Camden’s world turns upside down- going from being a typical college student one minute, to waking up on an alien world with missing memories, the next. As she is trying to figure out where she is and what’s going on- she runs into a Fost- one of the planets native inhabitants…. And the story takes off from there. She learns about the world she’s on, and little snippets of memories begin to return. She is drawn to two ‘men’- and spends a lot of time trying to decide between the two. There is danger, and a much at stake- a lot rests on her remembering. How did she get there? Why did the aliens abduct her? What do they want? What exactly happened, and why can’t she remember? First of all, I love the cover! I was drawn to it right away. Beta’s story was quite interesting, but she did frustrate me a lot with her inner dialogue and indecision. And I usually don’t mind a love triangle in a book, but I felt this one was quite distracting, and it added unwarranted drama and complication to the storyline. #TEAM MARIN… The world building was on-point, with wonderful descriptions and details. The characters were interesting and original. The story got off to a fantastic start, with a great pace- but did lose some of that momentum in the middle of the book. I am looking forward to book #2.
