Aiko (The Heartstrings Series Book 1) by Brooke May 5 stars
An amazing take on cupid! I really enjoyed this story. Its light, quick but still has the air of a romance about not for the main character. Aiko is a cupid, but she has a way of causing teoible wherever she goes. They’ve made many amendments to their laws due to Aiko. I felt for her and that made watching what happens all the better.
This was a great read and I cant wait to read more from this series.

Act II. Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 2) by Michele Sims
5 Stars
Was so looking forward to the continuation of this series…I love Cade and Lecia and now we add Miles to the mix and a whole lot more family interaction. I love family bonds in my story and this had it in spades.
The heat and strong connection between Cade and Lecia continued in this story, I love the real that is portrayed in this book through this author’s words. These two aren’t perfect, they struggle and they argue and this all feels so so real.
There’s a lot going on in this story and when Cade and Lecia find out that their 7 year old son has a rare disease and also some pretty out there abilities the search is on to try to find him help. On top of all that is going on there is also another side of Miles that is somewhat dark.
This relationship is put to the test in this book, can they work together and stay strong together for their son and what does all of this mean for the successful career that Cade has worked so hard for?
I can not wait for the next book in this series. This is my second read by this author and I’m sincerely enjoying every minute spent reading her words.
Will definitely be following her from this point on.

Playing with Fire (Moore Family Saga Book 2) by Michele Sims – Review by Debi Kircher
This was such an enjoyable read, I really enjoyed every minute of it! I do sometimes like to read a YA book, I find them really easy to read and whilst I love angst I also enjoy just a nice simple story that and that’s exactly what I got with this story. It was so refreshing to read – I loved the unique storyline (and who wouldn’t love a story with a talking cat in it?!?) and I really enjoyed getting to know Mia and following her story. For 15 I thought she was a really rounded character, she was kind hearted but had an air of determination about her which I liked. There were some great twists in the story and I enjoyed trying to guess what was going to happen – would Mia finally uncover the mystery surrounding her family? This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author but I think it may be my favourite so far! I thought that this was a really engaging story and I am really looking forward to reading more from the series!

Jumping the Shark by Heather Silvio a five-star read you won’t want to jump over. This is number five in the Paranormal Agency series and I would definitely recommend reading the others in order before this one, as it builds to Barbara’s story, we get to see what strings she was pulling, we finally get to pick up on all of the little Easter eggs in previous stories about her power and plans and little nuggets about her, we finally get to see the real character. This really is a great series and this story in particular lets follow the path you finally get to real story, It may be about an election in Las Vegas, but its about so much more.

Jumping the Shark (Paranormal Talent Agency Book 5) by Heather Silvio is a short and quick quirky paranormal romance story. This series is unique and original and you really need to read all the books in order. I’ve said it before but I will say it again Heather has cleverly mastered this genre and has provided stories that you just don’t want to put down. There is a well developed plot with twists and turns and Heather’s use of suspense keeps you reading to find out what happens.
Barbara loves the power she has and has forsaken love to get where she is but is she truly evil? Perhaps there is a way she can have it all but can she truly change?
I won’t share any of the details because you will have to read this book to find out but I look forward to reading the next and last book in this series.
This book was awesome! It was one of this books that took me by surprise and I devoured it!! It was refreshing because it was different than the many other supernatural/paranormal books that are out there and it kept me turning page after page. There were all kinds of supernatural creatures in this book and I enjoyed that. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author and I would absolutely recommend this book to a friend!

What a wonderful start to a series! This team mystery was intriguing and full of which detail. I loved the characters and especially loved that one of them was a cat with a sassy sense of humor. I found myself laughing out loud as I read the pages. It kept me engaged in guessing as to what would happen next. A fantastic start to the series. I cannot wait to see how the author continues the series in the next book.

After reading The Fisher Men x My Heart by Rebel Nicks O’Dey I can proudly say I’m a huge fan of this authors. This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last, I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series.
I loved everything about this book, from the storyline, the incredible detail and the seamless flow of the story. This story touches on some triggering content, however, this author went above and beyond by adding a forewarning plus she’s also included a way for the reader to be alerted of the scene in order to skip it if need be. This was such an extra touch to the story and it clearly shows how much this author cares.
I would absolutely recommend this book to others, it’s a story you won’t want to miss!

MOVES is the first book I’ve read by John Michaels. I picked it up and put it down a few times because of the space I was in; I didn’t feel like reading something I had to put too much thought into.
This is one of those stories that you think you know, you think you know how it is all going to flesh out and while reading, things change – just a tiny bit, but it changes the way you look at things.
This story is told in present and past pov so the story unfolds in a very non-linear way that makes total sense. The writing flows naturally and the character development is on point. This was a real page turner and I will go back and read it again to find the nuances and see if it changes my view point.
I absolutely recommend this story. ***** Review by @mauraharper

This is the second book in the “Moore Family Saga” and I think it’s really important to read the first book to have an understanding of the relationship between the M/m and their families.
ACT II PLAYING WITH FIRE is a very detailed story that contains family “drama”, special abilities, music, sexy times, manipulation and a “free range child”. At times the story is so detailed, that I found myself skimming to find out what was going to happen. I always appreciate the effort an author puts into their work and the author of this book has plotted out an epic tale.
While this isn’t my favorite series of the year, I will read book 3 to find out how The More Family Saga concludes.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano is the first book I have read by this author and it will not be my last. Ashley Pagano has a way of grabbing my attention and pulls me into her world in which she has created. Once I started the story there was no way that I was stopping. So make sure you have enough time to complete the entire story. The characters are amazing because she does not deal with only vampires or werewolves. There is the full cast of supernatural cast Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Shape Shifters, and Faeries. There is white magic and dark magic and who will manipulate the four elements. Then there is the Soppranaturale Hotel which is not your typical hotel, it holds different supernatural beings that try to keep the magical world hidden from the rest of the world. This world is the best of most book worlds in the supernatural worlds. I can only hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. Happy Reading.

Michael’s Heart by Lori Thomas Harrington. This book is one of the most beautiful contemporary romance stories that I have read. It will have you wanting more and not wanting to put the book down…. Be prepared to have a lot of tissues handy because you will definitely be needing them. I truly loved this book and I can not wait to see what else this author has in store for us next.

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1) by Laura Hawks. Let me start by saying I sure wish they had books like this when I was a teen. This book was awesome!

The Trouble with Paradise by Cynthia Hamilton is a novel in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery. This is a brilliant series that is fast paced and gripping. It was great to be able to get back into the same characters again. It felt like you were just picking up where you left off, it was that easy to slip back into the series. Again I was left trying to figure out what was going on and who was involved. It really was a guessing game and it was intriguing right to the end. This has been such a strong series so far and it is one I can definitely recommend.

The Fish That Climbed a Tree by Kevin Ansbro is a book so detailed and beautifully written that I almost wouldn’t care what the story is, I was just so taken by his way for writing. As it happens the story was brilliantly created that I was drawn in by that as well. This is an entirely new author to me and I have to admit I was a bit conflicted going in to this book. I loved the description and how unique and interesting the story sounded. However I found myself a little put off by the cover of the book. If there is ever a book that the old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” applies to, for me it is definitely this one. Once you open the pages and start reading you are hooked. The author gives such vivid descriptions that it really feels like you are right there with all the characters. This book is one that definitely needs to be on your must read list this year!

5 Star Never Let Me Go (Bayou Devils MC Book 6) by A.M. Myers
Never Let Me Go is the sixth Book in the Bayou Devils MC and a wonderfully written story that I found myself lost in the pages. I’m a huge fan of A.M. Myers and what’s not to love about a MC? This entire series has been some of my favorites to read .Juliette is a smart woman who can’t remember not only the last five years but the car accident that took her father’s life. So she goes on the run. Sawyer is a protective man and works very hard as a brother with The Bayou Devils. These two meet and there is definitely not only an attraction but a connection as well. What happens when she finds danger ? Is she in trouble? I absolutely loved both these characters. Find out what happens next in this must read book. If you haven’t already read the first five books I recommend reading them as well. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Children of the Future is a novel by Jane Suen. This is my first novel by this author.
In the small town of Rocky Flats, the weeks starts like any other but when 25 students and 3 teachers disappear, the town rallies together to solve this mystery. With help from the bus driver whose name is Telly and another student, follows clues in search of the missing people.
From the title of this novel, I thought the plot had something to do with the future like kids from the future coming to the past for an unknown reason. But the mystery is more than even I thought it was going to be.
The novel started out slow, but it did keep me interested. With the holiday, I wasn’t able to do a binge a read like I usually do, so I had to keep putting it down, but once it got into the story, I was reading it more quickly.
For anyone who wants to interesting and unique mystery, I would recommend.

“Rather than simply being the fish that swims to the shore, you have to believe that you can be the fish that climbs a tree.”
The Fish that Climbed a Tree is the first book that I have read by Kevin Ansbro, and after today, it certainly won’t be my last. What a surprisingly memorable story this has proven to be, and nothing like I had expected- not that I really know what I was expecting, except to say that the title intrigued me enough to want to find out what it was all about. I discovered along the way that Mr. Ansbro has a very detailed and descriptive style, which showcases his clever and imaginative storytelling. There is a lot going on in this book, in a great way- I was hooked very early on and remain engaged throughout the tale. It’s full of vivid imagery- weaving a tale of life, death, humanity, the afterlife, murder, mystery, violence, friendship, emotion, humour, good & evil, tragedy, heartache, mysticism, faith, love, redemption, history, literary and pop cultural references & icons, and plenty of thought provoking moments. The story is written in such a way that it is entirely realistic and believable- with a touch of the dark and disturbing- this is so much more than just a murder mystery, or a bit of a ‘ghost’ story- and while the story itself is quite intriguing, it is the characters who really drove this story. They are all so well thought out and crafted- they’re fully realised individuals with their own particular quirks and flaws… so well done! This story has stayed with me long after I had finished, I continue to ponder it , and for me that is a sure sign of a great book. Looking forward to more from Mr. Ansbro in the future.

Never Let Me Go is the 6th book in the Bayou Devils MC series by A. M. Myers. Although part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read any of the previous books in this series before reading this one and I didn’t feel that I was missing out any necessary information. In this book we have the story of Juliette Shaw and Sawyer Michelson. After a serious car crash Juliette wakes up and has lost memory of the last 5 years of her life. She has no idea who the man who is supposedly her fiancé is. She has trouble adjusting to her new life and decides to run away back to where she lived previously. Her friend gets Sawyer to give her a ride back to Baton Rouge. Do you believe in love at first sight? It certainly seems to have struck Juliette and Sawyer. The attraction and connection between the 2 of them is instant. It’s as if they have both found their soul mate. When it becomes apparent that Juliette’s life is at risk, Sawyer and his brothers in the Bayou Devils take it upon themselves to get to the bottom of the story. This story is filled with suspense. It really drags you into the story and doesn’t let you go. The ending – well I certainly didn’t see that coming! This is a fantastic romantic thriller that I’d definitely recommend to others.

Michael’s Heart by Lori Thomas Harrington is a contemporary/inspirational romance. This novel is a highly emotional read; recommend a box of tissues and a quiet corner to read to just thoroughly enjoy the entire story and the fulfillment the author provides with their written words that are so touching. There is something deep and soulful about this story that digs it into you and makes it one of those stories that you will think about for days, weeks, maybe even months – one of those stories that you just need to read again because you want to ensure you didn’t miss anything because it was that good. Lori Thomas Harrington is a remarkable author and knows exactly how to bring her stories to her readers and make them unforgettable.

Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 1) by Laura Hawks is a teen/young adult fantasy and supernatural mystery/thriller. This story had me intrigued just by reading the author’s synopsis for the book. At just 15 years old, Mia’s life has changed and she thrust into a hole with unexpected events unfold. The pace of the book keep me engaged along with following Mia along her journey to clear her family’s name. I enjoyed this story so much, that I will be getting a copy for my daughter to read as this genre is right up her alley. This series is bound to be a fun and mysterious read.

Scarlet Fever was my first book by David Stever, but it certainly won’t be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this Johnny Delarosa thriller from start to finish! Right from the beginning I was hooked, the storyline was so detailed, incredibly intriguing and the best part it was always unpredictable! I was kept on my toes the whole way through, sitting on the edge of my seat wondering how everything was going to play out! Honestly, I loved every second of this book and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
I would absolutely recommend Scarlet Fever to anyone looking for their next thriller read!

What a fun little story. This story if good for anyone who likes mysteries and a talking cat! Definitely good for teens! Entertaining enough for adults as well!
The coolest character is of course Mia who is the main character. The secondary characters are helpful and easy to read about. With the secondary character of Donna Antonio standing out for me. Knowing who this character is named after gave me an extra smile.
This book starts out a little sad and foreboding. “The circle of life blossomed all around him and increased his melancholy. He hated it. Detested the circumstances that brought him here today. He longed to know what happened to his family.” As the story progresses, this foreboding turns into an “ah ha moment”. Getting to know this character and what made him so sad is part of the enlightenment of this story.
This is my first book by Hawks and I can see her becoming a go to author.

I thought that The Gauntlet was a fantastic read, it may have been a shorter read but it was packed full of wonderful characters, action and fantasy! I love how original the storyline was – it really captured my attention from the very beginning. The authors’ writing was really easy to read and although as mentioned before it is a shorter than average story it didn’t feel rushed and I definitely didn’t feel like I was missing anything. The pace and flow were perfect. The author’s attention to detail was amazing and this meant that the world building for the story was excellent and I adored her character building – they all developed well over the story. I am really excited to see where the author is going to take this series, I have a feeling it is going to be an amazing one! I can’t wait for the next book to be released!

Another Madeline Dawkins mystery – another five star adventure. Hamilton continues to weave a captivating tale that just entrances me from beginning to end. I love her level of detail and her ability to keep the reader guessing. Madeline continues to be a main character that just resonates loudly with me. I simply loved this installment. This book and series are most definitely a must read.

Proper Irish by Zeia Jameson is a great quick read! This book is a total 5 out of 5 stars. I wish I had read this lying on the beach! You jump right into Stella’s life as an event planner and immediately find out that she is good at her job and has great intentions. She is kind and has proper manners, at least until Padraig comes into her life. Her fire shines and her confidence soars during her interactions with him. Padraig’s character comes of super standoffish and intimidating but something keeps pulling Stella back. I really enjoyed the flow of this book, it took me on a journey of a brief period of time in Stella’s life. I loved that the history and descriptions were brief but efficient enough to build a world. I loved Padraig’s character, the development and confidence was a breath of fresh air. He looks like your typical alpha but has a depth to him that is unexpected.
Proper Irish was a great 5 star read and book one in the Jaded Lily series. This is my first read from this author, I was pulled right in.
Stella is an event planner, she is getting ready for a big event for the mayor. When she falls in front of Padraig and he fails to help her, she is determined to find out why he treats her so badly. When she learns the truth, things change for her. It took me a bit to like Padraig, but eventually he pulled me in.
Can these two have a HEA?
Overall this enemies to lovers read was great. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, they were made for each other. Stella was a strong and determined character. Both characters had my emotions all over the place. The detail the author used was great, you felt like you were right there. The locations were great. The secondary characters added a great element to the story as well.
Never Let Me Go (Bayou Devils MC Book 6) by A.M. Myers Stars:5
The Bayou Devils series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I was completely captured in the story from the very first page until the very end. There was love, mystery, and twists that made this story great! A.M. Myers creates great characters, and Sawyer and Juliette were no exception. This author has a way of getting you to fall in love with her characters! I definitely recommend this story!
