What She Lost and Found by M. L. Garcia – Review by Katie Matthews

What She Lost And FoundWhat She Lost And Found by M.L. Garcia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

What She Lost and Found was a wonderful read and a great debut novel for this author. I found I was hooked into the story easy, it had a pretty good pace and flow (in most parts) to it which made it a pleasure to read.
Daniela’s character was really well written and I could tell the author had really thought about her. I could feel all of the emotions that she did and my heart broke for her a few times. I really did find myself rooting for her the whole way through.
Nathan really was a lovely character, I could feel the protectiveness that he had towards Daniela and he really did want to help her. I loved the two of them together.
The book does contain some sensitive issues but the author navigated them well and respectfully. I can definitely see that this author has potential and I am really looking forward to reading more from her in the future.

Claimed Royalty (Crowned and Claimed Series, #1) by Betty Shreffler – Review by Amber Lange

Claimed RoyaltyClaimed Royalty by Betty Shreffler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Betty Shreffler could write a book turds and rainbows and it would still be awesome because she wrote it. Claimed Royalty is no exception. It was hot and the story was so well written. I love the imaginary world she came up with and I love her characters. She has easily become one of my favorite authors. Her ability to tell stories is second to none. The lead is Fiora and she is a strong amazing woman who is an amazing leader. And Matheas who is a major stud. I loved it and can’t wait to read others 5 star rating!

WTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah – Review by Maura Harper

WTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of TransitionWTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WTF, God? I have found myself saying this many times throughout my life. I wanted to read this book to see how someone else handled this statement.

This is the first book I have read by this author and because I went in “blind” I wasn’t sure if it was a memoir or fiction. Either way, the lessons written about are valuable and thought provoking. Transition is hard and transitioning through life changing events is even harder. This book had a sense of self that I haven’t found in other stories.

It was a quick read yet held a great deal of depth to it.

I would recommend to everyone. I think these are basic life tenets in this story could be applied to any religion. Don’t freak out because of the title.

Vortex by Kimberly Packard – Review by Robin Rankin

VortexVortex by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vortex by Kimberly Packard grabbed me from the start and still hasn’t let go. If you want romance you will have a little. If you want a story that has multiple layers to it then I highly recommend this book.

Elaina was stupid for doing some of the things she did. I don’t think she realized what she was doing part of the time due to the memories taking over which was extremely dangerous in the middle of a tornado with other people around.

Seth is a really good guy who had one bad thing happen to him at the worse possible time. He’s trying to redeem himself and ends up chasing tornadoes in the middle of the Country.

I loved everything about Elaina’s dog, including his clever name. He would make me smile every time. There were some tears shed, moments of anger, sadness, fear and of course happiness. I don’t understand why people would put themselves in that kind of danger. My husband used to talk about wanting to go storm chasing and even though I would never stop him I wouldn’t encourage it either.

This book was worth every second I spent reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished reading Claimed Royalty: (Crowned and Claimed Series, Book 1), by Betty Shreffler.

Wow, wow, WOW!

I don’t know why I do this but usually I try to picture what the book is like when I read the book description – and I am usually somewhat close – but this one took me by the biggest surprise and I love it!

I am honestly itching to get my hands on the next book in this series!

Princess Fiora is a force to be reckoned with and she has a fire in her soul that I’ve yet to see in another character – ever!

I loved just about every character in this book – obviously some more than others but I could spend the next few weeks reading about them all, if given the chance.

This book was so engaging, refreshing and the storyline was amazing and new!

You will not regret reading this book – trust me!

I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

Little Do You Know (Devils Bayou MC, #5) by A.M. Myers- Review by Lucy Berson

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC 5)Little Do You Know by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Little Do You Know, Devils Bayou Mc Book 5, by A.M. Myers. This is the fifth book in the Devils Bayou Series. I have read all of the previous books and was so excited to read Noah (Hennessy) and Kady’s book. Before Noah was in jail, him and Kady were inseparable. All he could think about was getting out and finding his girl. They have loved each other, for what seems like forever. So when Noah gets released, and he can’t find Kady, he gets his “brothers” to help him. What he finds, doesn’t sit well with him. Noah refuses to accept the fact that she has a boyfriend and when she says she doesn’t love him anymore, he knows she is lying. He just has to make her see things his way.

Blade’s Edge, Satan’s Devils #10, by Manda Mellett. I have read all of the previous books in this series and i have been waiting for Blade’s book for a while now. We finally get into Blade’s background and it is heartbreaking…… and it makes you love him even more!! Due to his past, he finds women untrustworthy and only good for a release. Until Tash……. she is the female version of him…. beautiful and broken by a man. And now we wait patiently for Tommy!!!!!! Absolutely loved this book, just like its predecessors….. and I can not wait for more!!!!

5+++++++ Stars

**Sigh**

This author has done it again, but I’m so confused because every time I finish one of this series it becomes my favorite LOL

This storyline…WOW, it had me from page 1 and I had to slow myself down while reading because I never wanted it to end, which is normally the case when I read anything by this author.

Kady and Noah were simply perfection for me, it wasn’t all wine and roses and I actually loved all the speed bumps along the way, and I loved Noah’s determination after all he had been through, yet I also totally understood where Kady was and why.

I love this MC, and I love how every one of this series brings us back to everyone. Yes, you could probably read these as stand alones, although I couldn’t imagine doing that because its a storyline that just follows through so smoothly and you would be missing out on some serious goodness if you didn’t read them all.

I can’t wait for more, and I also can’t wait to read these all again, back to back, this author just has a way of forming her words and turning them into the most beautiful stories.

Simply Perfect…Loved it!!!

Lost in Love (The Miss Apple Pants Series, #2) By Charlotte Roth – Review by Laura Furuta

Lost in Love (The Miss Apple Pants series Book 2)
By: Charlotte Roth
5 out of 5 stars

The story Lost in Love (The Miss Apple Pants series Book 2) by Charlotte Roth is a wonderfully humorous and romantic book. The story had me with a smile on my face, laughing out loud, and has moments that touched my heart. It is the second book in a series that includes an amazing character named Ella. She is a young woman who at a young age grew up quickly. She is funny, kind, and beautiful. You could also call her confused when it comes to the feelings in her heart. When her father announces a trip to Europe, she has a decision to make. Should she try to find her son’s father, Hans? Is she still in love with him? What decision will she make? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time. There are heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I enjoyed reading about many of the other characters. Some have a large part to play and have been brought forward from the first book. I love when an author does this as it feels like you are catching up with friends. Ella’s tale includes the feeling of family, life lessons, and finding out what you’re heart really wants. Ella is a character that I grew to care about in the first book and those feelings continued in this one. She is someone who deserves happiness and to feel loved. Don’t miss out on a story that you will not be able to put down once you start. I highly recommend reading it.
