Her Blackened Heart by Isra Svravenheart is the second book in the Blackened series. I would recommend reading these books in order as they follow the same characters and the story also follows on. I thought this was a good follow up to the first book. I still like the fact that we are getting a great fantasy story all told from the POV of the villain. It adds a unique twist to a genre that is jam packed with great stories. I liked how in this book we got to understand Lady Isra a little more. She is given a bit more depth as we discover more about her background and the rivalry she has with Everilda. The story was well written. The author has developed the story well from the first book and it definitely felt like it was moving forward. The pacing was good as well – always something going on but never too much. This is a great book and a good series overall, it is definitely worth reading.

Self Made is a fun and quirky book. Jessica is trying to get Ant fit in 3 months. Its nice to see those characters development amd how she shows off opposite attracts. The cast all work very well together. Dealing with everyday problems as well makes this book more real.

CAFE CONFIDENTIAL: An unfiltered and intimate memoir by Lynda Filler
5 ++++++++ Stars
I finished this memoir 3 days ago…I can sincerely say it has not left my mind since completing it. I have been trying with all I have to figure out how to put words together to write a review for it. I will start by saying that without any doubt this is not just my favorite book of 2020 but is absolutely one of my top 5 of all time.
It all started Friday when I knew I had a few minutes and it was the next book on my kindle to read, I thought ok I’ll pick it up and start it and then planned to dive back in that evening when I was done with my day. Well, that plan went by the wayside 1 page in…
I was so engrossed in this authors story that when I say I read it in a little under an hour and a half I mean i didn’t walk or move without reading it…The world around me completely disappeared and I found myself seated next to this author experiencing the adventure she was taking me on. I am in awe….I was before reading this completely invested in the Code Raven series, which by the way I will be reading with a whole new appreciation when scenes include Luke, my favorite character, but after reading this and being invited inside the life of this amazing author im completely invested now in anything and everything this author writes.
There are many places throughout this book that I have bookmarked, many many words to live by that this author shared with us. I came away from this truly thinking about my life and how I live it. Happily married for 39 years and we still have many dreams to fulfill, this author has made all of that seem possible for us.
I loved Reading this story, and already want to read it again, but first I have more that I need to go one click by this author!

Sweet and steamy. A really nice short read. I really like Emily, she is prim and proper when she needs to be, and comes out that way to everyone but really she is reckless and adventurous and had me nervous a couple of times afraid she was going to get Grant in trouble since he is always in the spotlight. Grant is a good guy, at first he was obnoxious, going out drinking all the time and getting caught up in multiple scandals, but I love that once he meets Emily he wants to change his ways and become a one woman man as well as a better person. Their relationship is sweet, and Emily’s dad sounds like a real jerk for what he did to them behind their backs, but it all worked out either way. I loved the epilogue and can’t wait to look into more books by this author.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in the Madeline Dawkins series, and I highly suggest reading them each in order, though they can each be read as a stand alone! I have been with this series from book one, and i can definitely say that i very much recommend this series, and this author in general! Cynthia Hamilton shows her talent once again in this book, which I absolutely devoured! This book will keep you hooked, your eyes glued to the page, needing to know what happens next! I have adored reading Madeline’s story, which has been a roller coaster since the very first book! Cynthia weaves a romantic tale with enough twists and turns to keep you absolutely enthralled! I recommend her work highly, and can’t wait to get my hands on more!

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes is a fictional historical romance story and an enthralling and interesting read. It is set in the 1920’s the times of violence and drugs, trouble and gangsters, prohibition and the entanglement of the mafia of the times. Natalie has done a great job at weaving a tale that helps you get lost in their world. There is pain and suffering for our characters, but the price is not to high when you’re on the road to love.
Cynthia Hamilton is a wonderful author. I love Madeline Dawkins. This is her fifth book in the series about her. Every mystery has a little more bite than the last one. I found this story even better than the last one. In this book, Madeline and Mike are back sleuthing. This duo keeps the pages turning. I did talk to Madeline and Mike like they were able to hear me all the way into the book from my chair.I am able to keep my mind focused on what is going on. There are two mysteries in this book, but the clues lead to the right mystery. Can one’s past come up biting you in the rear end? Can the mystery of infidelity be a mistake or is it real? You will have to read this story to answer these questions.

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes was a really good read! This is the first novel I’ve read from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed at all. This novel is set in the 1920s, and seemed to be a really good fictional novel that still portrays the history of that time period in the United States. It did take me a couple of chapters to get into the story, and get used to the Irish dialect and dialogue that is used throughout. Once I got used to it, the novel completely dragged me in, and I could hardly put it down. It was very well written with a great storyline. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!
Fall of the Western Kings (The Tirumfall Trilogy Book 1) by J Drew Brumbaugh. This is the 1st story in the Tirumfall Trilogy and after reading this one I can’t wait til the next. Its the story of Grant who is thrown into an epic adventure including mystery, magic,danger, drama, elves, knights and wizards. All of the characters we meet along the way are awesome but Grant is the lead and has the wildest journey.

Trying to save one of his friends he injures a nobleman therefore earning the title of outlaw. Going on the run with his best friend Chanz, Grant meets all kinds of drama.

What a sweet romance. A rookie football player gets into some trouble and needs to clean up his image. A volunteer opportunity is suggested, he meets a beautiful woman who is also volunteering. A chance meeting again at a charity dinner gives them more time to get to know each other better! Sometimes, I’m in a mood for a quick story to read in a couple hours. This definitely hit the spot.

The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 5) by Cynthia Hamilton
Having read the other books in this series I knew this would be a good read. I, however, had no idea that I would love it as much as I did. The author stepped it up in this story with Madeline and Mike both working serious cases, then another case comes along. Each of these cases bring their own problems and twists and turns. This story drew me in from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat. This book is full of action, suspense, danger and wonderful characters. Will Mike and Madeline find the missing people they are looking for. What will happen when Mike’s past catches up to him? To find out the answer to these questions this is a must read. I have enjoyed this series since the beginning and that includes this book and I cannot wait to read what’s in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.

Wow! Fall of the Western Kings (The Tirumfall Trilogy Book 1) by J Drew Brumbaugh, was non-stop action. From the first chapter to the last the battle scenes are excellent. This is a wonderful world with wonderful characters, and they are many. Our hero Gant begins a journey that he is unaware of his part in it. Not only is Gant an intriguing character but everyone he meets along this epic journey is just as detailed and interesting as he is. I guess we can find ourselves and our present world in every story we read, and I certainly saw enough of our present world in this story. My favorite line in the whole book…. “Too often he’d seen friends turn on one another over matters of honor. What honor came from killing friends?” Something to think about.

How I love Madeline and Mike in THE PATIENCE OF KARMA (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery #5) by Cynthia Hamilton. These mysteries are the gift that gives more than you expect. I love the good solid personalities that these two have, their constant introspection, how they examine their motives, I just love the whole process they go through to justify their actions. I especially liked this mystery because of the deeper truths about the homeless and addiction. Things we know about but we don’t really think too deeply about. But we should. I love that the author weaves this into her stories. I have never been disappointed in any of Cynthia Hamilton’s stories and this was no exception. I think you will enjoy this one just as much as I did.

VANISHING DAY (A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 4) by Valerie Davisson . I have absolutely loved this series and this book was no different. Its the continuing saga of Logan McKenna whose new young neighbor is brutally attacked and left for dead. The only witness to the attack is the victim’s 3 year old daughter. When the police hit a dead end in the case Logan decides she has to find out what happened and why. As Logan starts digging she realizes her neighbor isn’t who she says she is and the danger is getting really deep. Finding out Lori, the victim, is in an abusive relationship or trying to flee from the relationship makes the case even more dangerous but that has never stopped Logan before. Will Logan and Brian find out who is trying to kill Lori and why before its too late for Lori and Logan? Each of these books can be read as standalone but they are all so good I highly recommend reading them all. The relationships and messes Logan gets herself into are so good. Just be prepared that once you start this book you won’t want to put it down!

This is my first book by this author and i enjoyed it. I thought it was well written and easy flowing and held my interest from page one. It was full of action and adventure and the main characters were likeable! Grant was the lead. He gets labeled an outlaw beacause he learns how to use a sword. Now he has a whole heap of things in store for him and he has to learn how to navigate through a life completely different than he is use to. He was a good main character and i liked reading his story alot! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good adventure and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

Dare Game (The Irish Garda Files Book 1) by Melinda Colt – Review by Gail Guerrero
5 Stars
Dare Game gave me serious chills. I was shocked and sad by this story. The Game that was played was sickening. The thought that people would do these things just for money. The simple fact that people find joy in manipulation and fear is terrifying. I really liked John’s character. He was brave, strong and very reassuring. I like that he didn’t back down or send someone else to do the hard work. He got over his past for his future. Amber and Hayley were also well written. The author showed that even when faced with the unknown there can still be hope. That believing in someone or something can change your outlook on the situation. I don’t usually do mystery books but this one took my interest and I was not disappointed. I really liked the way the story flowed. The author did a good job keeping my interest and not letting the suspense get out of hand. Like make me work for it but not too hard. Overall a goof read that most people can enjoy. Especially if you like stories that have thinking.

Rookie Moves: A Quick Snap Novella by Tarrah Anders is a short fun sports romance. I would recommend this book to fans of the genre who are in the mood for a quick read. The story follows Grant, a rookie NFL player who is becoming more known for his antics off the field than on it, when Grant bumps into Emily at one of the events he is attending to boost his reputation, neither are aware of who the other is. When their paths cross again, the couple decide to explore their feelings for each other, but other interested parties might get in their way. This is an enjoyable read and the characters are likeable, I would like to read other works by this author.

The Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton is the fifth book in The Madeline Dawkins book series. These books can be read as standalone but I believe much better enjoyed if read in order. Madeline is up for a crazy time in this book with three different cases at one time. Can Madeline and her partner Mike solve all the cases before anything gets crazier? Madeline is a smart, adventurous, detective who has found her calling since the first book. Mike is a great counterpart to Madeline and I really enjoy their back and forth. I look forward to reading more from this series and this author in the future.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book in the Blackened Series. I recommend reading the first book to get a foundation for this story. This book is told in fairy tale style like the first book. I found the detail in some places good, but in other places the story felt like more of a synopsis rather than an experience. I like the originality of the story and I do enjoy the Astrid character. Overall, I’d say this book was a more enjoyable read than the first one as it had much less repetition in it. I’ll be interested to see what happens in the next installment.

This is book 5 in the Madeline Dawkins series and these stories just keep getting better and better.
Now Madeline and Mike are finally married and running the successful PI business together but things are as they seem. Someone is watching them. Is it someone from Madeline’s past or someone from Mike and will this person destroy their happiness.
Case wise they are on two cases again. First they are trying to find a missing person in order to save his dying sister. As they start to discover things about the person they are unsure if this is just a missing person or if the person doesn’t want to be found because of a more sinister reason.
The second case is a rich musician who hires them as he thinks his younger wife is having an affair. Will the PI’s uncover an affair or will the truth be stranger and more dangerous than any of them realise.
These books are so gripping and the discoveries keep you guessing from start to finish. The characters are strong and well written that you cant help but identify with them and all they go through.

Curse Of the Sands is the second book in the Relic Hunters series by Martin Ferguson. Let me start by saying that this book would make a great movie/TV series. This is an intriguing YA adventure- with action, mystery, danger, historical details, Relic Hunters, wonderful quirky characters, good vs evil, myths, legends, and more. As I mentioned after reading the first book, the story/series has everything you need to make it an enthralling read, and would make a great movie, or exciting adventure game for PC, Xbox, PlayStation etc. This story has us setting off on an adventure with the relic hunters as an ancient pyramid is uncovered in Egypt. As expected, danger is ever present problem wherever the team happen to be. What unfolds makes for an exciting read. Looking forward to more adventures with the Relic Hunters.

Child of Prophecyis the second book in the Tirumfall Trilogyby J. Drew Brumbaugh. It is a dramatic fantasy, full of action, adventure, magic, demons, prophecy, danger, moral dilemmas, and high stakes. This follows on from Book One, so if you haven’t read Fall of the Western Kings yet, I highly recommend you do before starting this story. There is a lot of important backstory and character information to be found in the first book which will enhance your reading experience here. We pick up with Gant and his friends a few years after the events in the first book, as they set off to save the day once again. A prophecy of evil places the fate of the world in their hands and thrusts them on an epic adventure. As with the first book, this is quite an original story, and once again the world building was well developed, richly detailed, and entirely believable.

East Beach is the third book in the Red Farlow Mysteries series by W.F Ranew. This is an in intriguing murder mystery, with crime investigation, PI, drama, danger, drug dealers, and some surprising developments. I enjoyed the previous book, but this is definitely my pick of the bunch, so far. Red Farlow gets a strange message from a friend that has him concerned. When he arrives, he finds his friend on death door, having been shot. With his final words ringing in his ears, Red is determined to discover who shot his friend and why. And so the mystery begins. As with the previous books, this is a detailed and descriptive story that is cleverly woven. There were a few minor issues for me, but they didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.
Playing Series 3 Book Set contains 3 books from the popular Playing series by Stephanie Queen. It is a New Adult football/sports romance series that focuses on the players in the Boston Militia Football Team. Each book in the series contains a standalone story. This is a great way to explore this fantastic series, getting 3 books to sink your teeth into- with captivating stories and wonderful characters to discover between the covers. If you are like me, you will find that three books are not enough- and go searching for more. I love Stephanie Queen’s Beachcomber Investigations series- so I was really intrigued to see what she could do with sports romance. As expected, these books are really beautifully written and were so much (sexy) fun to read. This boxset contains:
Playing For the Money. Hunter Quintana really needs to keep his head down and stay out of trouble- being on probation and all. So, a fling with the coaches daughter would probably be a bad idea. Right? Dive into this Bad Boy Sports Romance and discover if Hunter can resist temptation and stay out of trouble.
Playing for Love. This is a really great second chance sports romance with enough angst and drama to keep things really interesting. Gabriel is the star quarterback for the Boston Militia Football Team and life is good. What happens when his girlfriend’s bestie moves to the area and he’s asked to show her around. Yes. You guessed it. Things are about to get interesting!
Playing For Keeps. Professional football player Tate has good reason to hate reporters. So we get to see the sparks really fly when Chloe, the sports reporter, enters the scene. This is a great enemies to lovers romance- with all the ingredients needed to make it an engrossing read.
I really enjoyed this boxset and I am happy to have found some more books in the series to check out! Happy Reading!

I was hooked from page one of this epic fantasy adventure featuring our hero, Gant. Gant is an apprentice blacksmith to his father living in a small village making swords for nobleman. As a commoner it is against the law for him to learn swordsmanship himself but he trains in secret. When Gant uses his sword to protect a friend he ends up hurting a nobleman and so is branded as an outlaw. Gant goes on the run along with his best friend Chamz and they embark on an adventurous and at times dangerous journey. Along the way they meet new friends who are not all human and together they have to vanquish the forces of darkness. This is a classic fantasy adventure and one I felt totally immersed in due to the authors wonderful world building. I loved the main character, Gant and by having best friend Chamz along for the journey he added some much needed humour to the storyline. Other characters that stood out and added to the story were Dalphnia and Pris, however all the characters were well defined. The authors detailed descriptions really made the story come alive and the plot was action packed and full of drama which had me gripped. I look forward to book two in J Drew Brumbaugh’s ‘The Tirumfall Trilogy’.

This series just seems to get better and better. This is an epic fantasy read that has you hooked from the very beginning until the end! I highly recommend that you read book 1 first so you get a real feel of the characters and a bit of a back story, but other than that this book follows effortlessly on its own and held me captive the entire read! Its fast-paced, entertaining and epic, it has suspense, action, adventure and twists and turns that have you on the edge of your seat, and leave you wanting more! I can’t wait to read more from this author and can’t wait to see where we are taken next! I highly recommend this read!

The Fall of the Western Kings (Tirumfall Trilogy #1) by J Drew Brumbaugh
This was a fantastic first read by the author. I can’t wait for the next book in the Tirumfall Trilogy. Brumnaugh has a way of making you fall in love with his characters.
Gant is the one of the main characters and he gets into all sorts of trouble. After the trouble he causes he leaves his family behind. His best friend tags along so he’s not alone.
Gant is wanting to become a swordsman, but he is a commoner. He finds himself in battles in the new town. The quote I chose for Gant is: “You keep saying that. What am I training for?”
Fantasy lovers this is a book for you. I promise you won’t regret it.
