Rage (The Marcy Series #1) by Linda Burson was an exciting heart pounding read that had me hooked from start to finish.
The first book in this crazy, outstanding series (I’ve been reading them a little out of order), and I’m so happy to have finally gotten to read the book where it all started. Detailed, and full of twist, turns, misdirects, this book was sometime to behold. I very much had a time reading this book, and I’m mad at myself for not reading it sooner. To backtrack and to witness were Marcy started, was wow, it was a real wow moment for me. This book is a must read for everyone that’s looking for an original fresh read that will teas your mind, and have you going, What just happened?
This book, this series, gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Beckoned Part 6: Adrift in New Zealand by Aviva Vaughn was the perfect way to end this series. I usually have a hard time letting go and saying bye to characters I have spent so much time with but for some reason this ending didn’t have that effect. I truly believe it was due to the fact that all of the loose ends were tied up so nicely.
Soren went through and grew so much from the time he was in Grad School until the very end. I loved watching him evolve from a emotionally repressed man to what he ended up becoming. His travels to Costa Rica and then to New Zealand were exactly what he needed.
I will always hold a special place in my heart for Soren along with others that have left an impact on me. Looking forward to see what Ms. Vaughn releases next.

Beachcomber Enemy by Stephanie Queen is the tenth book on the Beachcomber Investigations series and I think this is the best of the books I’ve read.
Dane and Shana have to deal with something from Shana’s past. It started on page one and did not let up the entire book. Lots of suspense and crime solving all the way through.
This book is a cliffhanger and it makes me wonder what will happen next with Dane and Shana along with Beachcomber Investigations.

The Immigrant: An Italian in America (The Italian Saga) by GB Amman
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Having read other books in this series I had high expectations and they were met with every turning page. You can read this story without having read other stories in this series, but it’s my advice to read the other books because they are exceptional. The author does an amazing job bringing you into the story with vivid detail. This story take us on a journey with Leda when she travels to America for a year and we experience obstacles that come with being an immigrant. There were things that I probably would have never thought of being a challenge had I not read this story, it definitely gave me a better understanding and new perspective that I wouldn’t have otherwise known since I haven’t traveled away from this country at any length. I loved that I got so have small moments with some of the characters from the other books and also meeting new ones. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Edge Of The Storm (Silent Secrets Series Book 2) by Lisette Kristensen
5-stars
Edge Of The Storm is the second installment in those series and cannot be read as a standalone. There is a lot of back story in the first novel that leads up to the action in this novel. Sloan aka Blackbird must rescue her mentor Halo who has been taken. Halo is being used as a bomb and Blackbird and her team must diffuse the situation and disable the bomb. This short novel has a ton of action and is easy to read. I loved the characters and but of romance that occurs. I look forward to more in this series .

The adventures (and trouble) Dane and Shana get into will take you on a wild ride every time. At the 10th book in the series, I was kind of surprised I was looking forward to it as much as I was. Occasionally I get bored with long series, but Stephanie Queen knows how to keep me enthralled. Dane and Shana have such opposite ways of thinking about things and I have been very happy about the lack of moments that make me scream “JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER” in cases of misunderstandings that some books use as a suspense supplement.

Winging It by Lisa Gail Green is the first book in the Destiny Rules series. This is a YA with the main character being Zach. He has just turned 16 and discovers his mom is a fairy godmother and he is fae as well. The story is told from his point of view which I enjoyed. He is funny and snarky at times. Even with the fae bombshell, there is even more for Zach to adjust to and be challenged by. This is a fun start to a new series. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The story has a different premise and I like that Zach is not a whiny teen. He is a good person and rises to the new adventures in his life. I look forward to reading more from this series in the future.

Secure Again: A Chase Group Story was a great 5 star read. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. There is so much going on with all the characters. Elizabeth is a surgeon and Martin is the CEO of Chase Security.
Elizabeth is a very caring person and becomes concerned when she starts seeing patients from the local jail coming in with injuries. When Martin gets called home after his brother has been shot, he finds out that Elizabeth is the one keeping his brother alive. These two have a history that didn’t end well for them.
As the investigation continues on both the shooting and the jail injuries things intensify. Can Chase Security get the answers and solve the mystery? Will Elizabeth and Martin reconnect and have a second chance at a HEA?
Overall I loved this book, I was pulled right in and couldn’t wait to see what was coming next. You get suspense, mystery, romance and so much more. I am really enjoying this series. All of the secondary characters are great. I highly recommend this series.

I am a big fan of this author and was excited to read a rom com written by her.
This is a story that “on paper” checks all of my boxes. The blurb was right up my alley. In fact it felt oddly familiar as this happened to a couple of friends of mine.
I struggled with this book for a couple of reasons but if I told you why, I would be giving things away so I am going to “vague post” this review….
Don’t you hate when you hear that someone had really bad timing when admitting something and then expected things to turn into the fairytale? Me too. BEFs are real y’all.
This is a well written story and even though i found both MCs super annoying at times. The supporting characters were wonderful and i loved their support and encouragement.
I must admit that I read this story in accents – both Scottish and Australian and my accents are horrible. Lol

Minx by Maggie Adams was so stinking fun to read! I have never had the pleasure of reading anything by Maggie Adams prior to this but now I must say I am dying to get my hands on some more of her work and anything else she may create for readers in the future. Minx is a fast read, one that you could devour on a dreary rainy day to brighten things up, or even perfect for a poolside read. As soon as I started reading about Miranda Blake I was hooked and found myself finished in one sitting. I would love to see more Miranda in the future because I feel like there is still so much story potential left in her character. *wink wink*
Miranda Blake is the exact type of person that I am so it was super easy for me to relate to her on multiple levels. She is such a good-doer for anyone and everyone that she often gets left in the dust with little to nothing left for herself. Now that is all about to change as she grabs life by the horns and starts to find her voice. I loved watching her grow to find that inner sassy voice that she always had but wasn’t sure how to use. Definitely a five star read that I will be finding time to re-read once again soon.
Having never read anything of Holly Kerr I completely went into this book blindly based off the gorgeous cover and that catchy line… Can a runaway bride find love with someone else’s jilted groom? Well, frankly I just had to know the answer for myself. I am so glad that I scooped this up! I truly enjoyed the light and fun rom-com feel of the book and was quickly invested in finding out what Flora would end up getting herself after that explosive beginning. Holly Kerr takes a fairly generic concept of the runaway bride and writes a fantastic story about finding love and learning to love oneself. Flora and Dean are both great characters and seem to balance each other quite well making this seem a feasible and realistic read. I personally can’t wait to see what else I have been missing by Ms. Kerr and what else will come from her in the future!

I’m not sure still what words I can come up with to properly describe my adoration of this novel and the rest of the BECKONED series from Aviva Vaughn. I’d have to say that I am a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to my emotions, something I tend to find myself often doing when I finish one of her books. I fell in love with book one, Beckoned: Part 1 From London With Love and the characters that would soon find a way into a permanent part of my heart. I have traveled to some amazing places, eaten and very well tasted with the way Vaughn writes, and I have been consumed with the peace that I seem to find whilst reading. I would highly recommend that you read all the books, in order, before you dive into this one, although if there is any that can be read as a stand alone in the series this book is the one.
Soren truly comes full circle in Adrift in New Zealand. I felt as if I could predict where this book would go but boy was I surprised. There were several moments when I was completely sideswiped with the turn of events, making everything seem that much more realistic. I absolutely loved how everything tied up and found its way into the perfect ending. While I am saddened that this is the last of the BECKONED series I look forward to seeing what else Aviva Vaughn will spin out next. I am sure that whatever it will be will soon consume me as well! Thanks for the lovely adventures Ms. Vaughn.

Fierce Emotions by Linda Burson is the eighth book in the Marcy Series. I would strongly recommend reading the series in order for you to fully understand the story. I have not read all the previous books in the series so I didn’t know what was coming up when I dived into Fierce Emotions.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the series. I thought the books were way to long to keep me entertained. This series continues in each book. Marcy is married to both Liam and Brad. Her parents are ok with their situation but, some of Brad’s family ( his dad ) has major issues with their arrangement. Brad hasn’t spoken to his father in quite some time and now, his dad is trying to get back in the picture. He seems happy with his 2 grandsons and it seems like he has had a change of heart. Luckily, Liam is there to be able to back up Marcy’s accusations.
Liam, Marcy and Brad have an odd arrangement. Brad and Loam have come a long way since book 2 and both are becoming great friends. They both want the same thing in life. They want Marcy, the mother of their boys to be happy and will do anything for her.

Jake the Growling Dog by Samantha Shannon is a fun book for kids that also has an important meaning to it. Having a young child it is hard to find books that keeps them entertained and engaged all the way through but this book does a great job of holding their attention. The pictures were bright and colourful but also were too “in your face”. It had my little one flicking through them and laughing at the animals. She also really enjoyed when I read the book to her. While she is probably a bit young to understand the message she enjoyed the words and how they rhymed. My only issue was that some of the rhymes felt a bit forced to me, which is probably only so noticeable because I was reading it out loud, and the book felt like it was a couple of pages too long for kids this age. However it was fun, it as enjoyable and my daughter definitely loved it. For that reason alone I would highly recommend this book.

Trickster’s Hunt is my first read from author Carrie Whitethorne. This is a creative, mentally Visual read that I thoroughly enjoyed reading from start to finish! This read was funny, fantasy romance read, full of magic & mystery. I loved the weave of mythology in this story it really made this story even more intriguing and more in-depth.
I absolutely love Maia’s character she just has something about her that’s fun, real & relatable. Our main Men in this read each bring something different to this book, Silas, Rhett & Amos have each their own Alpha traits that blend into the story and into Maia’s journey through this read, that made it that much more enjoyable!
I loved this book and can’t wait to see what else this author brings to this series! This is a captivating book that shouldn’t be missed!

Fierce Emotions (The Marcy Series Book 8) By Linda Burson 4 Stars!!!!
Once again I am delving into the world of Marcy, Brad and Liam and again I wasn’t disappointed. This is the eighth book in this series and it’s still just as grabbing as the first. The characters just come to life as the drama and story unfold around them.
I find the whole relationship between Marcy, Brad, and Liam quite quirky and unique. I find that the author’s take on polygamy is unique even though it would not be my choice. Marcy seems to really attract a bit of danger to her and drama and I really found myself drawn to her character. I really enjoy the dynamic around her and the men in her life. This book was not short of any drama and I found myself glued to the pages to see what the next adventure would be for Marcy and family. I definitely would love to read more from this author in the future.

Say Something by Jennifer L. Allen is a second chance contemporary romance. This story if rife with emotional triggers and is so raw at times you can virtually feel the characters as they battle their demons. I found the hometown environment of this story touching and realistic. This story encounters topics so true in everyday life and the author tackled those items with finesse. Jessie and Danny are the epitome of sweethearts but life delivers a fatal blow which shattered their relationship. Yet, life/fate has some of it’s own to deliver and watching that fall into the story was beautifully done. The characters were each well written and full of depth which a great cast of secondary characters.

Evolution: Awakening (An Ash Kyndal Novel) by Hope Anika is a romantic suspense. The author keeps a steady full-speed ahead pace throughout this story from the character introductions to the story line to the stream of events that unfold. This novel is loaded with elements that take charge and bring forth unexpected chains of events starting at the very beginning of this epic book. Hope Anika delivers a take charge suspense with all the required pieces to make this a story that takes the reader into the story and trails them along on the journey along with the main and secondary characters. I enjoyed the mystery and unknown as they fell apart in the story, it kept me engaged, enthralled and wanting more.
Jake the Growling Dog: (Jake the Growling Dog Book 1) By: Samantha Shannon 5 out of 5 stars
The story Jake the Growling Dog (Jake the Growling Dog Book 1) by Samantha Shannon is a children’s book about a loveable and friendly dog. Jake is a wonderful and likable character that children will love to read about. He wants to make friends however he is misunderstood. The illustrations complement the story and are eye-catching. The book teaches lessons that young ones can learn from and it includes an activity that can be used by families and schools. This story is sweet, fun, and entertaining. Jake’s story is one that warms and touches the heart. It is about friendship and acceptance. Wonderfully written.

I loved this book! I love how it shows children that it is okay to be different. It shows what is it like to judge someone because of what they look like or how they act. I read this book to a couple of boys I take care of and they were engaged the from beginning to end. They would ask questions and make comments about the pictures, very interactive story. They thought it was fun and wanted me to read it again. A must for children and those learning that being different is okay.

Jake the Growling Dog: A Children’s Book about the Power of Kindness, Celebrating Diversity, and Friendship by Samantha Shannon
4 Stars
I read this book twice as it is a pretty quick read. I love where the author took this story but I found it a bit awkward at times while reading, my favorite part was actually after the story and the message that was supposed to be gained while reading. The activity was awesome and the list of things you can be thankful for was a great topic starter since I decided to sit with my grandsons and let them lead the rest of my review.
I did have to read a few parts a couple times with them to keep them interested and had much more luck with them after the last page when I opened up the conversation with them about the story. The practice loving-kindness was probably my favorite part as it opened up some awesome conversation with the boys because they understood and shared stories from their classrooms and friends. The activity was awesome and although I’m not sure they will take it any further than our time together they did enjoy the time we discussed it and that was awesome.
So all in all I think this book is great, the story itself did lead into some great time with the kids and I would recommend it.

Winging It is the first book in the Destiny Rules series by Lisa Gail Green. It is a young adult fantasy novel which is a genre that I’m not at all familiar with. I had never read any of this author’s work before but I liked the look of the blurb and decided to give it a go. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised as I enjoyed it more than I expected to. Zach Slater is 16 years old when he discovers that he and his mother are both ‘fairy godmothers’. His mum has been attacked and he must complete his assignments or they will both be grounded (lose their wings, wands etc). The book is really funny, as Zach comes to terms with his new powers and the way that others now act around him – his fairy charm means that suddenly becomes very popular and girls start to take much more notice of him, with some hilarious results. To make matters worse, one of his assignments means that he now has to work closely with Jenna, who he has had a massive crush on for years. It has to be said that there is a really good storyline running throughout the book as Zach tries to work out who the ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys’ are. The storyline is really intriguing and you will want to keep reading to see how it all pans out. Will Zach manage to complete his mother’s assignments in time? I recommend that you give this book a try and find out for yourselves.

Fierce Emotions is the eighth book in the Marcy Series. I recommend reading the previous books to really get the full impact of this book.
After the journey they took to get here, I have to say that I love how things are shaping up. Of course, there are still trying moments that test the relationships, but things are becoming much more stable. I am even taking more of a liking to Brad. I had issues with him in previous stories, but he redeemed himself nicely. Now, if they could all just get their anger issues under control…
Liam’s past and the issues from Marcy’s past are still two pieces of the story line that are not wrapped up in this book. Some more things come out, but not anything definitive. We’ll see where the next book takes us. As long as they stay together, I think I can handle the drama, lol.
As always, this story is intense and full of twists and turns. I read the whole thing in just a few hours because I had to find out what was going to happen. ?

I give The Vampire Queen (Wheel of Crowns Book 3) by Brandi Elledge, 5 stars. *This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.*
Tandi is now a vampire. Yes, it is what she wished to happen in case of her death, but she has no idea how to cope. She has been moved away from the only place she knew, and is far from her best friend. She knows it’s for the best and only temporary, but still. Not to mention that she seems to be a horrible vampire, she can’t do anything right. She even has the hot vampire prince to train her. He is sexy as hell she has an attraction to him but he doesn’t seem to have any interest. What is she supposed to do?
When another vampire faction attacks, she realizes just how serious this impending war really is. She gets down to business and decides to help the good guys. Can she become what is expected of her? There are many who will do anything to get in her way, but she is now determined. Little does an she know just how much she will learn about herself on the way. With the help of her friends, just maybe things will work out.
I loved Tandi in the previous book and was so happy to see her as the main character in this book. She is just as girly and spunky as I remembered too! She makes such a great lead. But she has faults too, which makes her even better. She learns a lot and quickly adapts throughout the story. The other characters in the book are great too. Note to the author: I really what to see more of Tracker in upcoming books, her was so my favorite secondary character! The story itself is interesting and pulls you in. There were many twists and turns that I did not see coming. There was action, along with romance, heartache and even humor thrown in to make a complete story. It can be read as a standalone, but you will know more if you read the previous books first.
If you like paranormal romance or urban fantasy with a great story and characters, this series and book is for you.

Love & Ghosts (Crescent City Ghost Tours Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen
Four Stars
This story was a good short read. I’m not usually into ghosts but this one was good. I felt that Sean made the story more intriguing. His acceptance for what others didn’t believe earned him points. He never forced his opinion on anyone. Now Emily tested my patience. Have you ever had a character rub you wrong from the beginning? That’s what she did to me. Her character just didn’t seem like she wanted to grow. That change was the worse possible thing. I did however enjoy the darker side to the story. That you could believe in something so much that it could take you over. It was scary and exciting. The author definitely grabs your attention with the after life.
Beachcomber Enemy (Beachcomber Investigations Book 10) by Stephanie Queen
5 **** Stars
This is not really easy to say since I’ve read 99% of this series but I truly think this was my favorite so far. I loved the push and pull between Dane and Shana and how their relationship was tested and also that it was not the main focus of the story. As with all of the books in this series it is full of danger, suspense, and the perfectly placed twists and turns. I loved the progression of these characters especially Ronnie, to see how he started and how strong he has become through this series was awesome, and now a major player throughout this whole series has me completely torn, not sure where his story is headed and I’m worried because he has been a favorite.
I dont have the words to explain how much I love this series and wish it was something I could actually watch because I can see this being absolutely binge worthy and I can not wait to start from the first book and read straight through on a quiet weekend.
I would not recommend starting at this book, there is so much history with all of these characters and with the way this one ended you will need the whole story to feel the complete impact of what’s left on the table. I need the next one NOW!!
Many thanks to this author for this story, I pick each one up with total confidence I’ll be totally satisfied when I reach the last page.
Evolution: Awakening by Hope Anika is a fast paced and action packed story that is unpredictable. The drama and action jumps right in from the very beginning and doesn’t let up all the way through. The world and characters that Hope has created are intriguing and at times thought provoking.
Ash is a strong willed and independent woman who is also stubborn, and sassy. The sudden death of her Uncle means she is left to run the PI firm and she suddenly finds herself thrust into something that is bigger than she ever could have imagined and she is faced with finding the truth whilst trying to protect her client and stay alive.
The story was intense and the mystery is palpable and will have you trying to piece it all together whilst sitting on the edge of your seat. There are a few unanswered questions that I am sure will pick up in the next book which I am eagerly awaiting.
I loved this books. Its full of adventure from the first page. The twists and turns are amazing and the ending has left me dying to read the next one.
Ash inherited a PI firm from her uncle, along with her cousin and the broken birds Charlie brought in she embarks on protecting what seems like a harmless girl from supposedly a gang boss. However things are definately not what they seem.
So starts a journey that involves genetics, cults and danger at every turn
