Forgotten Promise Book Two: The Forgotten Trilogy by Virginia Wine

This story picked up where the last ended and there was no letting up with what happens to Nathan and Bryer.

There is a lot that happens and of course there is still more to come in book three and I cannot wait to read it.

I really had a hard time putting this book down and even found myself reading at 3am because I couldn’t sleep. There is just something about Nathan and Bryer’s story that has drawn me in and I love them.

I’m curious to see how this all plays out with Nathan and Bryer as well as all the other forces around them and I NEED answers on Clayton and Gen.

This is just a great series. Lots of romance and suspense along with laughs and hard core flirting (Clayton and Gen).

Can’t wait to get started on the next one!

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara
Five Stars

Denial is he first book in the Hero High by Mina Chara. Mina Chara is a new author to me and I think she has a hit on her hands. If you like YA, Fantasy and Action, this is going to be the perfect series for you. The characters and world building are both entertaining and easy to imagine with the detailed descriptions. This is a quick fast paced read that grabbed my attention from the first page and didn’t let go until the last.

Anger is the second book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This installment starts where the first book in the series, Denial, ends. I love these short installments that are easy and fast to read. The excitement continues in this book, with Friday continuing her training and learning how to be a SuperHero. This book is fast paced and the characters are well defined. This isn’t my usual genre, but I have really got hooked this this series.

Bargaining is the third book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This book really ties up this series. I’m so glad I chose to read this series. I found the character development and world building to be detailed and easily relatable. I found this book to be my favorite of all three. Friday Fitzsimmons Story continues, and it is full of action and adventure as she tries to figure out the good vs. evil in her life. This YA series is addicting and it has some twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. I highly recommend this book, series, and author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Hit and Run by Diane Hester, 5 stars.

I was blown away by just how good this book was. This author is new to me and I didn’t really know what to expect. It is gripping from the very beginning and does not let go until the end. It honors the masters of suspense with a story that twists and turns, not letting you off the ride or letting you know just where you’ll go next. To make it more compelling, the story is so complex. You think it’s about one thing, oh but wait, this is going on too. Oh and is that person good or bad?

The story is amazing, thrilling and gripping written by an artist with imagination and the characters are believable and you really feel for them. I would love to see more of them in the future, especially Erin. If you are a fan of gripping thrillers, this book is definitely for you.

I could not put this book down once I started reading it. This story is full of twists and turns and is full of action. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next and trying to figure out who the good guys were and who’s not. Raina has worked really hard to change who she was when she was younger and keep to herself,even though the past still haunts her. On the way home from a movie one night she hits a man with her car and her world gets turned upside down, and now she doesn’t know who she can trust. I became completely invested in these characters. This is definitely a must read. The author wrote a very suspenseful gripping story and I cannot wait to read more books from this author. I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this novel by Allison Lewis. It was uplifting and had a really nice message for all those young girls out there that feel they are different and that they will never be accepted for who they are. It was inspirational and a joy to read. As we were given a glimpse into the growth and development of Misty we got to experience her joy at finding not only love but acceptance for who she was. This inspirational novel helps to show that no matter what a person’s flaws or perceived flaws are, the individual can draw from the flaw and it can become their greatest strength. This light hearted novel is a good read and well worth checking out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: FIgure in The Flames by Mina Chara is a collection of three Hero High books; Denial, Anger, and Bargaining. This is a quick, entertaining read. Friday is now a student at Hero High to hone her special abilities. She learns quickly that you cannot trust many and not everyone is concerned about her best interests. This school for heroes is televised and part of reality tv programming. It is difficult for Friday because she has a mind of her own and does not care if she is popular, she just wants to be trained. What will Friday do when she is brought into a plan which can have life altering circumstances? Will Friday make the right decisions?
I really enjoyed reading about Friday. She is a young lady many can relate to. Her life has not been easy, but she just wants to protect her family and reach her goals. She is a fun character. There are other characters which are also students and mentors at school. Each is an interesting character and would be great to read more about them. I look forward to reading more from this emerging author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hit and Run was the first book I have read by Diane Hester and she really exceeded my expectations. The only way to find new writers to love is to take a chance but that doesn’t prevent me from being skeptical each time I stray from my typical to be read pile. The storyline captured me from the very first page and kept my attention through each twist and turn. Not only was Hit and Run captivating, it had a cast of characters you really find yourself growing “close” to and really loving. Hit and Run had every element that I look for in a book and remained as intriguing as it’s synopsis eluded. If Diane Hester has more writing like Hit and Run, I truly look forward to reading more of her work. I would definitely recommend this book to family and friends and award it 4 stars.

This is a nice series that drew me in from the first book! I mean who doesn’t want to be a superhero?! The story really gets better and better as it goes through the books. You will learn to love some characters and dislike others. But for YA this is a delightful group of books that will engage their imagination. I highly recommend it for the person who loves to engage their brain matter and dream of new places.

I do love me some supernatural books. This is the first time I am reading this author and I really enjoyed this book. The author has such a refreshing style and a unique idea. I like how the re is a balanced amount of drama in the book. I really found some of the things that happen in the book to be quite surprising.

I really felt drawn to Friday and her character. The way that the book highlights that every super power is valuable. I didn’t expect this between her handler Jake and her to turn out the way they do. The book totally had me on the edge of my seat cause I couldn’t put it down and by the end with the twist I was totally hooked. I felt as though I could feel every emotion Friday went through and the struggles she faced. I was just so proud of her by the end of the story. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

Once again Cynthia Hamilton delivers a great story. In A High Price to Pay (Madeline Dawkins Mysteries Book 2) we follow the continuing story of Madeline Dawkins. Now the proud owner of her own detective agency we follow Madeline on an exciting journey. Not only does her past come back to haunt her but the double jeopardy of a new case lands on her plate.

Just the Way You Are is a fairy tale romance novella by Allison M. Lewis. I love the message behind the story, but I was hoping for more of a triumph of overcoming adversity for the main character. Misty is a disabled princess who longs to see the outside world and fall in love with a prince. Her parents don’t want the monarchy to look weak so they keep her in a tower. Misty plans to sneak out and make the most of her life. The plot is short and sweet. It would make a perfect bedtime story.

LOVE THIS ONE! This is one wild ride from start to finish! This is my second book by this author. I am impressed. She easily pulls me in with her writing skills and doesn’t let go until that last page. I LOVE reading that type of story! It has a fast pace and action/intrigue at almost every turn of the page. The characters are ones you come to care about and then root for them. I want to write more but don’t want to give any surprises away. So I highly recommend this and I will be keeping my eye peeled for more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A High Price to Pay (Madeline Dawkins Mysteries Book 2) by Cynthia Hamilton is the follow up book to Spouse Trap, it does refer back to some of the events in that book so I would recommend that readers make sure that they have read it first to fully appreciate the story. In A High Price to Pay, Madeline has recently received her P.I licence and, along with her friend and colleague Mike, are ready to start taking cases. Unfortunately for Madeline her first case is a bit close to home. The mother in law of her biggest client from her event planning business asks her to investigate some missing items from her home. However, the case is not as clear cut as it first seems. At the same time a threat from Madeline’s past has resurfaced and it making his ominous presence known. Madeline is not only facing the toughest case of her career so far; she is also watching over her shoulder in fear of her safety. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; I love the development of the characters and the twists in the story. Perfect for anyone who likes a good mystery.

Just the Way You AreJust the Way You Are by Allison M Boot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of the books where one celebrates the author more than the book itself. The book is about a princess on wheel chair, Misty miles who is locked in her room and has limited exposure to the world. Her parents love her but fear about her safety because of her disability.
But Misty is determined to follow her heart and win the love of her prince charming, Derrick, heir in line of the neighboring kingdom. Things are not rosy between both the kingdoms because of a past rivalry. Despite all these challenges, she runs away from her castle one day to meet a troll who has magical powers. The troll grants her a wish to make her walk for three full days, but demands something very dangerous in return, which could put both the kingdoms in peril. The troll connives and tricks her to put her tiara at stake. The tiara has magical powers with which the troll can control the kingdom.
Unknowingly, Misty trades the tiara for her new power and heads off to the neighboring kingdom in full gusto. She manages to meet the prince and also charm him. She also meets a young orphan with a disability and wishes to adopt her. As things were almost going as planned, the troll intervenes and sticks her evil head out. The two kings come face to face and the age-old rivalry surfaces back.
Now it is up to both Misty and the orphan girl Kara, both disabled people, to face the troll and also bring an end to the rivalry between both the kingdoms.
The book is a very breezy and enjoyable read. There are certain places where I did wish few more characters would have added more flavor to the book. It also follows a stereotypical Disney romance story. But as I said earlier, this is one of the books where we have to celebrate the author more than the story itself. The author, Allison M. Boot is a person with disability herself and has resolved to write books where the protagonists are disabled yet strong willed. The main message that is conveyed through her books is that their disability shouldn’t be a blocking factor for the lives they choose to lead and the dreams they dare to pursue.
And that objective is definitely achieved through this book. Misty Miles, the heroine of the book, comes across as a very strong resolved heroine who is not afraid to take on challenges. Her dreams are not inhibited by the fact that she is disabled. She sometimes takes rash decisions but when is not afraid to face the consequences of her own actions. She takes full accountability of her flaws and tries to correct them. I am sure Misty Miles is a symbolic personification of the traits of the author herself. These are all qualities which have to be lauded and learnt by all of us.
Keep it coming Allison M. Boot. Take a bow for what you are and what you aim to achieve!

New Jerk in town (Carolina Kisses book 2) by Sylvie Stewart is a 4 star read.
Milo and Jill knew each other as teenagers and didn’t part on good terms, 12 years later they’re thrown together again and there’s still some animosity, but there’s also the fact that they each felt the other was the one who got away. I loved reading the back story and seeing how they get to where they are now. This book was well written and the characters were well developed, this is a new author to me and I look forward to reading more from her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Where has Elaine Marie been? I have definitely missed some goodies here as this is my first but definitely not my last read by Elaine Marie. She has a writing style that reminds me of an author I adored as a young teen and I have missed that sort of heart string pulling writing in my life. Sunshine Kisses will make you feel all the feels and give you plenty of moments to smile as well to balance the devastating story line that runs at the center of the novella. Now it is a novella so you will want to give yourself a few hours to dive in and devour this gem uninterrupted. I know that I did and I was so glad to not have had to be torn away one moment from the story of Crystal and Spencer.

Crystal has a life altering and well eventually ending illness that has made her look at life completely differently, as it would obviously do. When the latest news from her doctor is not positive she decides that the upcoming destination wedding of one of her friends is the perfect place to live life with no rules and some abandon. She wants a fling, and only a fling too, but never expected that fling to be with a best friend, Spencer. Can life really go back to normal like nothing ever happened when the wedding comes to an end? This book is a must read for the ones who want to feel the emotion as you read. I recommend you grab a box of tissues before you dive in! I am off to grab the first in this series!

I can never seem to find the right words to express how much I love Sylvie Stewart’s rom-coms, but once again I will try my best. I loved book one of the Carolina Kisses series and was super excited when I saw the next one was coming. As soon as it hit my kindle I devoured the book faster than the woman with a sad heart and tub of ice cream. This book had me rolling with laughter and falling head over heels for Jill and Milo! I love the push pull of enemies to lovers novels, and it is perfectly done in this one. It is believable enough that I found myself feeling transformed to the place and time watching as the fabulous and swoony first kiss as well as other favorite moments in the novel that I will save for myself so you can experience them without spoiling! This one is a must read and I would grab book one too if you haven’t picked it up yet, you are gonna want more of this fabulous series!

This story was amazing! Let me just say if you haven’t read the first two books in this series you really need to. The books in this series can be read as standalones but why wouldn’t you read them all because they are all awesome, plus you have well rounded information of all the characters and their relationships. This particular book had me on a roller-coaster of emotions. There is suspense, danger, twists and turns and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. There are some unexpected gut wrenching moments in this story. This author did an exceptional job pulling me in and keeping me enthralled, she writes such gripping and compelling stories that I don’t want it to end. I will definitely be reading more books by this talented author. I highly recommend this book.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Just the Way You AreJust the Way You Are by Allison M Boot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a lovely modern day fairytale with a difference, in that the main character, the princess Misty Miles has a disability. Misty is the the princess of a faraway land known as Starryton and for twenty one years she has been in a tower and her disability and her wheelchair have been hidden from the kingdom. Her parents are worried that the monarchy will look weak and even though her parents have hidden her away to protect her it has left Misty feeling that she is unable to do anything. Misty’s Prince Charming, Derrick Denison is the prince of the neighbouring kingdom of Mooncrest and he’s a gifted dancer. Misty and Derrick have not actually ever met. To make things more complicated there has been a long running feud between Misty and Derrick’s families. The conflict caused the once beloved kingdom of Starrycrest to break apart into two separate kingdoms. Having realised that she must take matters into her own hands Misty visits a troll,
Trovella who is rumoured to grant wishes for a price. This wish sends the princess off on an exciting and dangerous adventure and in the process she battles her own self doubt and learns that she is far more capable than she ever imagined. As well as dealing with feuding families, a disability, and ensuring no harm comes to her or Derrick’s kingdoms, along the way Misty encounters a little girl with her own disability who is in need of a forever family of her own.
This is a fairly quick read but the author has packed so much into the pages of this young adult story and as an older adult I was absolutely hooked from page one. I found it both a lovely romantic story with plenty of action and also an inspiring read. The fact that the main character has a disability is sadly a rare thing in a book and this in itself makes Allison M. Boot’s novel unique. The author has written about the disability with such sensitivity and honesty that she has bought disability awareness to the reader along with a wonderful storyline and likeable, realistic characters. I was very impressed with this novel and I hope it makes other readers feel as empowered as the princess becomes in the story and educates young readers that disabilities do not need to hold a person back from fulfilling their potential.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and now she has a new fan. I absolutely love small town romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of Finding Love in Green Springs and it was a perfect beginning to a great series. I could not help but to fall in love with these characters. Meg is very independent with a snarky attitude and Drew is a southern gentleman. Once I started this story I could not put it down. It only took me a full day to devour this incredible book. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this awesome series.

Meg is very strong but when tragedy strikes twice she becomes lost. She finds herself broken so she packs up and goes on a road trip. Meg finds herself in the small town of Green Springs. She is only staying a couple of days but when she meets Drew she can’t help the connection she feels for him. Meg gets used to this small town living but she gets scared at forgetting her past. Will Meg find what she is looking for or was it in front of her all along?

Not So Far by Renee Regent is the third book in the Love Grows series. This book is a great addition to the series and really will keep you turning the pages.
Audrey and Silas are two great characters. There is something about them that just draws you in and makes you want to read about them.
They have to be my favourite couple of the series, making this book the best as well. This author has created a brilliant series, one that is highly enjoyable with strong characters and interesting story lines. Personally I think they are best read in order although they could all be stand-alones. I would highly recommend both this book and series.
