Can't ForgetCan’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can’t forget is the second read in the Solum Series from author Colleen S. Myers. Once again this book has held me totally captivated from the start, right until the very end! For the full benefit of this incredible series I recommend that it’s read in order, as you wouldn’t want to miss a thing with this series. I didn’t think Colleen S. Myers would get any better with this series, but my oh my – has she proved me wrong!

This author has once again transported us back into this created an incredibly vivid, mentally visual read. I couldn’t help but picture the whole planet in my mind while reading it, the look and descriptions of each individual character that Beta comes into contact with. All of it makes for an incredible sci-fi, alien romance novel filled with action, adventure, mystery, suspense, romance and most important an incredible plot.

This time we see Elizabeth ‘Beta’, trying to work out what could ultimately help the Fost bring down their enemies the E’Mani. Along the way she continues to grow as a person and her journey continues at a fast pace. I absolutely love her and Marin together, they bring an incredible dynamic to this read that I absolutely love to read about, but there is something between them that plays a big part in some of Beta & Marin’s actions. Along with Marin, Finn is back in this read and he brings another side of Beta to the forefront, one that also shows strength and determination. But too me my OTP has got be Marin & Beta.
But just as we think maybe there could be a possibility of a way to overcome the evil that has disrupted Beta’s life things are about to be thrown off!

Once again we were given twists and turns that make it even harder to put this read down, we cannot forget the magic that is weaved through the story and the history of it.
I loved that we are still learning all new things along with Beta, whether it’s the history of the planet she is on, the Fost, the E’Mani or even her own Power it made everything seem more real, and as though we were there living out the story ourselves.

Overall this was an incredible read that I loved that I got the chance to read, and cannot wait to delve into this world again in Book 3- to see what continues with Beta’s story – and whether they can finally overcome this evil! With plenty more story to be told I cannot wait to thrown back into this world!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4) by Phoebe Alexander. These books are so fun and this one is by far my favorite! I love the character of Casey and this book goes deep into her past and explains why she is the way she is and why her relationships are they way they are. Casey is the founder of The Factory, a local Swingers Club and she is battling Breast Cancer. Leah & Paisley her dear friends and managers of the club arrive with their own drama. Leah is newly married and struggling and Paisley is unsure of her husbands new friend and where she stands in the whole situation. Casey tells them the story of her past with Gabriel and Joshua. She was madly in love with them both and the love triangle almost killed her. Casey really opens up in this book and her story is so emotional. Sure the book has sex in it but it has lots of emotion as well. Loved this book

The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles book 1) by Clarie Luana

5 Stars!!!!!

What can I say but I absolutely have fallen for this series. The author has such a unique way of
bringing the characters to life and I felt as though I was actually in the story. The refreshing
way that you are drawn into the book and just feel as though you are escaping into the world that the author has developed. I just couldn’t put this book down.

I really felt drawn to Wren from the very start. The drama that unfolds around her brings you to
the edge of your seat with anticipation. I liked how the author was able to not only throw in drama and intrigue but also weaved in just the touch of romance to boot. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Wren, Sable and Hale. Into the mix you have the chemistry between Wren and Lucas. The whole dynamic just adds to the intrigue in the book. I really cannot wait for the next book in this series. To get to delve more into the lives of the Confectioners and their world alongside the other guilds and see where the magic leads.

off of the pages. I felt as though I was really going through the things that the characters were
going through.

This book really sets up the series. I really enjoyed Hale’s character. This book brings Hale’s life
before he joined the Confectioner’s guild. I really liked how the author brought his character to
life and showed how he matured over the course of the book. I really enjoy this author’s work and will definitely be reading more from her and this series.

Jesse is the third book in the Glass City Hearts series. It can be read as a standalone. This book does reference events that happened to the other characters, and now I want to go back and read the previous books because they sound like great stories, lol.

I had no idea what to expect from this book when I chose to read it, but it proved to be an entertaining read. It has a great mix of humor, sarcasm, mystery, danger, romance, and family drama. The characters were easy to connect to and the story hooks you in right away.

Also note that there are a couple of places in the story that get you in the feels, so have some tissues nearby.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hard as Steel by Virginia Wine is the fourth book in the Surviving Series and follows the story of the elite PI Securities.

Nicole Lancaster is an FBI agent who is in the boys club, always dedicated to her job wanting to progress further within the FBI. Until a case comes across her desk which has her being more invested than usual, this women is broken and can she help her with out putting her career in jeopardy.

Steel Archer is ex military, hard as nails and working for a PI Securities but with his past is full of skeletons and devastation that haunts him constantly, but when a young women enters his world looking for help, Nicole’s and Steel’s collide. Will both their lives change to help a young broken woman?

This is the first book I have read by this author and I feel that although I loved the story, their was bits missing in the backstory of the other books. I would recommend reading the series in order and then I feel you have a better understanding of the story, but this did not distract from the story of Nicole and Steel.

The writing was fasted paced and with the twists and turns of the story has you reading on, I loved the different prospective of the characters and the relationships that grow as the story goes on. I would love to go back and read the rest of the series to see how this series grows.

Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel (Friendship & Secrets, #2)Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel
By: Julie C. Gardner
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel (Friendship & Secrets #2) by Julie C. Gardner was a okay, emotional rollercoaster of a read, that had a sweet yet opened ended ending, that was, for me, satisfying.

My first read by this author, and for this series, though this is a series the books can be read as standalones. For my first time with this author I was impressed with the excellent writing and the nicely timed flashback scenes. It gave you a feel for how Jake and Lia grew and how you can see where things start to, not so much go wrong, but when they started wrong.

I will say that this story though started out with a bang, it did have this slow feeling to it, and frankly at times there was some flatness in those slow times, making it feel like some scenes dragged on. I will say, almost all the problems that arose in this story could have been solved with a simple conversation. But I guess when you were raised the way Lia was, you can understand why she can’t seem to find the right words, or that running is better than figuring things out.

As much as I wanted to hate Jake, he was more of a idiot and a moron, then malicious. Running wasn’t the answer, choosing for Lia wasn’t the answer, but at the same time, Lia just let things happen, never making a decision, and letting others take over her choices. So I can see where Jake was coming from.

There is so much I can say about this book, from it’s multi layer characters, or to it’s impressing message that communication is key, to learning that it isn’t too late to improve yourself, or too late to rise up from the ashes and start a new. This book is a true journey on how to get through those exploding times, when it feels like the universe is out to get you. So please take my super high recommendation that you will get sucked into this life journey, of how Lia picked herself up, and forced her own path, towards her own life.

Happy Reading

Say When by Bree Kraemer (Cedarville #9) – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

/0 Comments/in /by

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When is the ninth (yes, ninth!) instalment of the truly wonderful Cedarville series. One again, we are transported to the beautiful lakeside setting which has become so familiar to fans of this series. This instalment does not disappoint, as were introduced to a new couple that immediately grabbed my heart. This is one read not to be missed!

I have to start this review by admitting that I am a superfan of this series. I absolutely love the world that the author has created and it holds a very dear place in my heart. So as soon as a new book is released, I am immediately anticipating finding the time to sit and really enjoy it. Cue a nice cup of team, some chocolate cookies and a cosy blanket; time to read!

Say When had me hooked after the very first page. Immediately jumping into the wonderful world of baking had my mouth-watering; luckily I had the cookies! Dani is such an endearing character and I felt myself warming to her straight away. I love her innocence, which I think makes her such a strong character and so interesting to read. She has a lot of fears and learning about these over the course of the story allowed us to see why her and Patrick have such an intense connection. As for Patrick… what a cutie! He is such an equally interesting character who I couldn’t wait to find out more about. We learn about him more slowly than Dani, with the main focus of the story being her getting over her fears, but that just makes him so much more intriguing; who doesn’t love a mysterious man?! Seeing them together is so much fun and, let’s be honest, super hot. There are some steamy moments in this book, which are sure to get you feeling a little hot. All I’ll say is, lucky Dani!

I don’t think I will ever stop loving this series or this author’s work. Every single book in this series is beautifully written, packed with wonderful characters and has an intriguing and exciting plot. Ultimately, this series is about love and the connection that develops between two people, and Say When perfectly portrays this. If you haven’t already, I cannot encourage you enough to start reading this series. By the time you get to Dani and Patrick’s story, you’ll be as hooked as I am!

Who (Stalker, #1)Who by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Who: A Stalker Series Novel by Megan Mitcham was an interesting story. I had quite the time getting into the story but pressed on because I knew it had great potential. There were parts that were confusing and I had to reread simply based on my own questions. There was… a lot of intimate scenes. Many of which I found unnecessary and did not do anything for the storyline. The story has a lot of twists which keep your attention after you pass the confusion. Larkin is a self-made business woman who does rather well for herself, although she is having to face a crazy amount of issues due to someone leaking information. Though she’s tough she has a hard time sticking up for herself when it actually matters. This was my first story by this author and I would give another of her stories a try but maybe not this series. I personally did not connect with the characters like I normally do in books. But I have to say I did pretty good at figuring out WHO it was!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who: A Stalker Series Novel By Megan Mitcham. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. It took me a little bit to completely sink into the story but once I did I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down. I would definitely put this in one of my top favorite reads of the year. Larkin is a character who’s so driven and won’t let anything or anyone get in her way, I love a strong female character and the author more than delivers on that front. In fact every character in this story brings something different to the story, they all have their place. Readers are taken on a journey filled with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s well written and paced nicely. Can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to anyone.

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel)Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude by Tee Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude is the prequel to the Elegant series by Tee Smith. This is a novella, which makes it a very quick and easy read. This is my first read by Ms. Smith, and even though there wasn’t a ‘lot’ happening in this story due to it being a novella, it does lay the foundations for the rest of the series and has intrigued me enough to want to read the next instalment/s.
Denim Gargliano is a bit of an enigma, but as the story unfolds, we get a glimpse of the man behind the rumours and reputation. What I saw, I really liked. He has been thrust into the world his father built and Denim is making his way through it as best he can, on his terms. The illegal operations hiding behind legitimate businesses. We are drawn into Denim’s world and experience it alongside him. The ending was particularly interesting as it sets up the next book, and I can’t wait to get my hand on it.

Thank you, Ms. Smith!

My Tragic Life is the 2nd book in the My Life Series for Necie Navone. If you have not picked up anything by this author yet, you are missing out. Necie Navone’s writing is wonderful. Her depiction of the characters very realistic. With this book, Ms. Navone carries on with the tale of Alessandra and how she is fairing with the fact that she will be the boss of a crime family when her father passes away. The attention to detail and interaction with the other characters only enhance the richness of this book. The flow and emotions brought out by the writer in this book make it enjoyable to read and addicting. I did not want to put the book down! I cannot wait to catch up with this family in the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Climbing the Walls is the first book in the Hart and Cole Series by Sacha T.Y Fortune. This story also appears to be Ms. Fortunes debut novel and I look forward to following her work. This book is a realistic and relatable woman’s fiction story that looks at what it takes to make a marriage work, all the highs and lows that come with that; while balancing the responsibility, expectation, and pressures of motherhood. The story has intense moments, dramatic details, touching scenes, believable dialogue, and interesting characters who draw you into their story, giving a front row seat to the ‘show’ that is their rollercoaster relationship. It was intriguing, emotive and well written. Bring on Book #2!

Thank you, Ms. Fortune!

Calling the Curveball: a Lawson Family Novel 3.5 stars

This is the first book in a new series and there are a lot of characters introduced in this book. This story has dysfunction and regrets and angst. It also has light moments – a dog who heckles an umpire, sweet romance and great friendships.

Purely personal opinion – I did not care for the male protagonist. I’m bummed too, because it caused me to feel differently about the entire book than I normally would. Honestly, I will absolutely stick with this series because I am interested in his brothers and their stories.

The story is well plotted and the characters are easily identifiable. There are absolutely redeeming threads in this story and while this particular story wasn’t for me, I WILL read more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Savannah’s Saviors by Bella Settarra is the fifth book in the series The Cowboys of Cavern County. Now saying it is the fifth book, this can be a stand-alone book. Bella Settarra’s vivid descriptive writing style allowed me to think I am in the story with Savannah. It is like I was there looking over Bella’s shoulder. She writes about a difficult situation and you can feel that in her writing. This is a contemporary western romance book, but at the beginning it was about Bella and what has happened to her. Bella meets Tom and Greg on a really bad night. She is having issues of trust and abusive relationship and she does not want that out in the open just yet. Will Bella be able to trust Tom and Greg? Will Tom and Greg trust Bella? You can find the answers in the story.

Can’t Forget is the second book in the Solum series by Colleen S. Meyers and it just as action packed as Must Remember (book 1). This book has a lot of bumps and curves. I was reading along and then out of nowhere there was a sharp turn that I did not see coming at me. Beta (Elizabeth) is on a mission. She wants to go after E’Mani, the one who kidnapped her. Beta reminds me of a strong willed young version of myself. I love the books were I can relate to the main character and feel like we are one together. What will the future holds?

Can’t Forget is the second book in the Solum series by Colleen S. Myers. It is a new adult, science fiction story with action, adventure, aliens, magic, revenge, romance, and drama. This follows on from book #1, so I really recommend reading the first book before starting on this one, in order to appreciate the story better.
I very much enjoyed reading about Bata and Marin. There were again some great twists and turns in the story that made it all the more exciting to read. Love how the author’s imaginative world that lead her to created this amazing series. I really feel like I can visualise the setting at all times.

Must remember is Book 1 in the Solum series from author Colleen S. Myers.
Must Remember literally held me drawn since the first page and held me there until the end.
Colleen S. Myers  created an incredibly vivid, mentally visual read. As I was reading Must remember I couldn’t help but picture the whole planet in my mind while reading it, the look and descriptions of each individual character that Beta comes into contact with. All of it makes for an incredible sci-fi, alien romance novel filled with action, adventure, mystery, suspense, romance and most important an incredible plot.  Each of the characters are making their own impressions on Beta and the way acts around them, but you can’t help but love Finn, Marin and  Ute, but each of these characters has their own story to be told and I loved reading their interactions, feelings and ideas of why Beta is there. Along with the brilliant connections, we cannot forget the magic that is weaved through the story and the history of it.
Overall this was an incredible read that I loved. I cannot wait to dive into this world again in Book 2 – to see what continues with Beta’s story.

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 1)

By Ellen Butler

5+++++++ OMG stars

My first thought after being totally worthless for the 3 or so hours it took me to read this book was…This is one of the best books I have EVER read. I know nothing about art and truly went into this book thinking it sounds interesting and a break from what I have been reading would be awesome. Well… WOW…..Not really sure how to word this review so that this author gets the justice deserved for her talent in putting together words and having me so hung over right now I cant even hardly think.

She seriously grabbed me at page 1 and when I say I could not put this down I mean I was walking around with my kindle practically stuck to my nose and I couldn’t read it fast enough which angered me because I loved it so much I wanted to slow down and I couldn’t. Karina…what can I say about her…she was so different than most leading ladies and is seriously one of my new favorites. Besides the serious nature of what was going on she had me absolutely laughing out loud in some parts. I love how her story played out and what I loved also was how the relationships all seemed so real and as far as twists and turns, there were a few but I think the biggest twists were that everything played out totally opposite of what I thought they would and I wish I could explain that but I can’t because it would give too much away…Let me also say that my next favorite character in this book was Molly and you will see why when you read it, and you must read it!

I was so excited to see that Book 2 is coming soon and trust me I will be one of the first in line to have this book and I already have this authors page up so I can check out everything else she has written…

I already want to read this again!! Simply perfect!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer a five-star read that will melt your heart. This is the ninth book in the Cedarville Novels and each book invites you into a group of people that you feel such a bond with you miss them between stories. This time it’s the turn of Dani and Patrick, people who have played a small part in the groups before but are now being pulled fully into the fold. Dani was a complex and compelling character, I kept wondering why she wasn’t able to speak to men, why she felt she couldn’t be a fully productive member of society and the author did a great job of showing us why and helping us like she helps Dani. Patrick and his obsession with cupcakes still make me smile and blush a little when I think of frosting. Those cupcakes were so well written about you could almost taste the cupcakes on your tongue. Overall a very nicely don’t visit to Cedarville, I cant wait to go back and visit again.

Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel
By: Julie C. Gardner
5 out of 5 stars

The story Forgetting Ophelia: A Novel by Julie C. Gardner is an amazing book that I loved reading. It hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It tells a story about heartbreak and betrayal however it also has parts where there is hope. I loved the character of Lia. She is a woman who has a handsome husband and a teaching job that she excels at. She is a beautiful woman who is looking forward to the honeymoon that she and Jake have plans for. Then in one evening, her world is shattered by Jake walking out. This story is a very emotional one and my emotions went up and down all the time. I found Lia to be a character that I could empathize with, what she feels and goes through. While a lot of the pain and raw emotions that she experiences has to do with being left by Jake, she also struggles with other issues. With each chapter that I read, I found myself loving Lia’s character more and more. I wanted her to find happiness. How will Lia find happiness? Is there a chance that she will take Jake back, or will she move on with her life? Read this book to find out. There are many other additional characters that you are introduced to in this story. They range from good friends with Lia, family, and some that she meets along her journey. I enjoyed the interactions and conversations between them and Lia. This is a book that I got so caught up in that I was surprised when I found myself at the end. It is an amazing story with wonderful characters. Highly recommended reading.

Caught in Make-Believe (The Caught Series Book 3) by​ Sharleen Scott is a suspense romance and the first book I have read by this author. The references to things in the past and characters lead me to believe that the books in this series should be read in order and I will be going back to read them. Having said that I really enjoyed and was fully engrossed in this mysterious and and suspense of the story of Sam and Jace. There is action and drama that will have you intrigued and hanging on every word and trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle that Sharleen had weaved so well. The story is told in several POV’s which gives the story that much more richness.   Samantha’s clock is ticking but she has yet to meet a man that can fill her expectations, that is until one closed off and secretive stranger enters her world.   Jace, has been in hiding and on the move after tragedy struck. Now he has come home and just when he thinks that maybe, just maybe he can open his heart again, he finds that not only himself but everyone he knows, is once again in danger of his past.   This is a page turner that should not to be missed.

My Tragic Life by Necie Navone is the second book in the My Life series and tragic is the best way to describe Alessandra’s life.

Alessandra is still the Princess of the family but is growing up quickly and learning more about the family business when what she really wants is to get out and have an opportunity to live her life her way and not having to answer to anyone.

The next book is the end of this series and I can’t wait to see what happens to not just Alessandra, but Analisa, Nonna and especially her Uncle Lou and Luigi.

Must Be CrazyMust Be Crazy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third book in the Darling Cove series and I think it is my favorite as of this moment. I laughed, cried and hurt for Skye.

Skye dealt with so much in this book and a long hidden secret comes to light. The love she gives her family and they showed her is how its supposed to be, especially in the dark times.

Edward is a great man. He does so much for the community all while raising his son, Julian alone. I loved getting to know him and his story. Julian stole my heart in so many ways. As a Mom I just wanted to make things better for him and cuddle with him.

This is a series I almost didnt start, I’m so glad I didn’t make that mistake.

Degrees of Acceptance (A Prestian Series Book 2)
By Via Mari
Wow this book was amazing!! I was hoping this one would be as good as the first one and I’m glad that I wasn’t disappointed. I do recommend that you read the first book in this series before this one because this one picks up where that one leaves off. I love that Kate and Chase’s story is continuing, I don’t ever want it to end! This story is full of action, mystery and romantic moments. This book has all the things I want in a good book. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read book three!!.

The Confectioner’s Exile by Claire Luana
Stars: 4

This is a prequel in the Confectioner Chronicles. This book tells the tale how Hale joined the Confectioner’s guild. This book has adventure, triumphants, despair, love, and a bit of cockiness and luck! It is short, but is excellent at telling how Hale’s story started without feeling rushed or stretch out too much. I haven’t read the other books in this series yet, but I can say that I really enjoyed this story. I can’t wait to see more of this series!

This was a first read for me by this author and I now cannot wait for the rest of this series.
Tru, is in a mission and the last thing she expects is Will, her ex husband, to be in her way.
I was intrigued to find out what exactly happened between these two as I read the story happening. There were many moving parts and as soon as you ask yourself “wait did I miss something?” You’re reading the answer in the next few pages. This had a bit of everything I love in a story and the chemistry between these two set my kindle on fire!
