I cant wait to Read more of Phoebe Alexander’s books.

Shattered Reality (Summoned Book 1)Shattered Reality by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered Reality by C.A. King is the first book in the Summoned series. This is a brilliant retelling of an old classic story brought into more modern times. The author has done an amazing job of making the story her own while also keeping the same mythological feel about it.
The story is everything I have come to expect from this author – well written, exciting and completely engaging from the moment I started reading. The characters were really interesting to read about as well. They added to an already strong storyline.
C.A. King really has become one of my firm favourites and this book is just one example as to why. I would highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to see what is next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting read for me and not the type of book I normally read but I really enjoyed it.

This books is the authors memoir about her adventures throughout the world and the people she meets along the way.
It was amazing to read of her brave journey, leaving everything behind her for this once in a lifetime experience. It was really inspiring as for some people they would never be able to do that.

The way the author writes is beautiful describing all the places and people she meets makes you feel like you are on the journey with her. And the pictures that are in the book are a nice touch.

She's No Cowgirl (My Cowboy Series Book 5)She’s No Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I instantly fell in love with both characters and for separate reasons. Masters needed a getaway from the rough and tough lifestyle as he knew it and Kennedy is nothing like the leading ladies we often read about in books like these. I love that she’s a relatable tomboy but still a lady at heart. She’s capable of being a skirt but the cat and mouse chemistry between these two draw you near as seduction heats up. Their love is an unexpected gift in this book as we learn what rips them apart can bring them together. I love Brooke May’s writing and how she brings the world in her books together seamlessly.

5 stars!
Loved it! I never would have thought going on a trip to Bulgaria would be a beautiful, peaceful, sexy and relaxing vacation, but I was living for it! Oh my heart! It broke for Harleigh, it breaks for any woman who has to endure any type of abuse. I do think she is a strong woman to be able to take this trip and meet someone new despite going through what she did. Giovanni, had partner issues as well, his not as extreme, but still enough to make any man want to swear off women. The love and support from both families is so beautiful and the story amazing, will suck you right in. I highly recommend for any romance lover, the issues that they have to work through themselves and as a couple is really fun to watch unravel. I really can’t wait to see what happens next!

Love Surreptitiously
By Tarrah Anders
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. It is a romantic comedy that I couldn’t put down once I started it. I loved the characters of Sidney Matthews and Quinlan Montgomery. Sidney is a woman who is intelligent, strong, and independent. I like Sidney because she says what she is thinking even if it is a little too honest. There are times in this story that I was smiling or laughing out loud at what she says. Quinlan is a man who is handsome, charming, and doesn’t expect the attraction that he feels for Sidney. He knows what he wants and that is a relationship with her. What does the future hold for Sidney and Quinlan? Will secrets that are being kept end any chance that their relationship will work? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of comedy as well as emotional moments. I grew to care about Sidney and Quinlan with each chapter that I read. There are other characters introduced that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on a romance story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders is a contemporary romance story that is fun and sexy. It is a quick read but one that won’t disappoint you. When you have a bad day and getting drunk seems like a good idea at the time but that quickly changes when she realises just who she shared her broken heart to. The characters are real and feeling. Throw in a bit of angst and sneaking around trying not to give in to the attraction and it makes for a good read.

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Super Sorry by C.A. King. It is a story that once I started reading, I found that I couldn’t put it down until the final page. I loved the character of Sarah Sorry. She is a teenage girl who wants to fit in with her peers. She finds this to be hard as she is experiencing changes to her body and her life. If that is not enough there is that talking beaver that is always hungry. What does the future hold for Sarah? Read this book to find out. Sarah is a character that I found myself caring about. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters that are introduced and interact with Sarah. There are comical moments that had me laughing out loud and others that had me empathizing with what Sarah is feeling and going through. The author has written a story that is exciting and entertaining. The storyline and characters come to life and I found them easy to identify with. Don’t miss out on an amazing tale that will have you hooked from the very beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

She’s No Cowgirl (My Cowboy Series Book 5) by Brooke May – Review by Shannon Fowler

She's No CowgirlShe’s No Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

She’s No Cowgirl is actually book 5 in the My Cowboy Series and thankfully can be read as a standalone. This story is about Hunter and Kennedy. The other books in this series follow other couples and I look forward to reading about them.

Hunter and Kennedy are sweet and fun. They are young adults in the early years of college. Instead of being party animals, they both are working hard towards their dreams, him the football star and her a sports journalist. Their love story is sweet and innocent with an added bonus of their love for sports…football in particular. However, just like in sports, there is a bad play in their love story. Kennedy and Hunter must decide if the play is a game ending play for their relationship or just a little time out.

This story is easy to follow and the characters are easy to read about. Kennedy is a strong female character. In fact, both Kennedy and Hunter are strong characters overall, both determined in their choice of careers and the path to get them to their dreams.

I enjoyed this story and will read from this author again.

This is the third book in this series and my favorite yet by this author. This is a story full of mystery, suspense and action. It is an engaging story that has characters that bring the story to life. The details in this story made it entertaining and made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. This is a story about Ugarit and the betrayal of love his mistress, the queen, has made him feel. He was sent to spy on her when he learns of this betrayal. Now she is faced with execution. Will he save her? I enjoyed Ugarit’s character. I felt bad for him at times but he is determined and strong. He really made the story for me. I highly recommend this story and this author.

I love a good fantasy book and Feyden delivered with a great concept in these pages. It opens quickly and immediately leaves the reader guessing as to what is really going on with the female lead and how she might be connected to shifter, if at all. I really enjoyed this take on faeries and shifters. It is a very vivid world and one I will gladly visit again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cafe Confidential: an unfiltered and intimate memoir is not something I would normally read. It is the first I have read by Lynda Filler, but it sounded interesting. It is written in an auto biographical format, in recent years (she talks about Covid toward the end). The author tells her story of how she sold everything and travelled the world. She tells us of the events leading up to it, as well as people she meets along the way. That alone is what pulled me in. The intrigue to read what would make someone sell everything and live out of a suitcase while travelling the middle east. Where did she go, what did she see, who did she meet. While I don’t know most of the places, it was fascinating to read this non-fiction story. She talks about her other books within this memoir, and I want to try one to see how it is. Her writing style is good. It draws you in and make you want to learn about this complete stranger. She is brutally honest and holds nothing back. She isn’t a famous icon, so who cares? Right? Wrong. Its such an interesting story and she shares pictures and facts about people she meets and relationships. There is a lot of insight and makes you reconsider your own life. It is a great story and I recommend it, even if you don’t normally read this sort of book. I don’t, but I’m glad I did.

Four Stars

Eternal Wanderings was an interesting read. The characters were growing while they continued their journey. Kara was looking for her place among her people. But even that seemed like a long shot. Everywhere she went trouble seemed to follow. You could feel the animosity coming from the Romani. The fact that they didn’t except her made no sense to me. I have to say that it was a little too short for me. Though her journey is far from over. The author did a good job developing the characters. I also felt like there was many points that the author made you really think about how you would handle the situation. A very interesting series about finding who you’re and following your own path. Though Kara hasn’t found hers yet.

In Book 1 Sugar & Spice, Cy Sweet whose family is the one that created Spicetopia and even though he has always been somewhat of the black sheep of the family he is sent in as an undercover boss. While there he meets Jolie a single mom who dresses up as Red Velvet Queen and he is smitten. What kind of trouble can they cook up while there? In the third book Fire & Ice we meet Enya and Neve. Enya is the park promoter and Neve is the security. Neve & Enya don’t really get along but when things get serious and dangerous sparks fly between the two. These are just my 2 favorites but I highly recommend reading these in order to really get the feel of this fun boxed set.

This is a romance-suspense story that had me turning pages fast. It is an engaging story that has details that made me feel as if I was right there in the middle of the action. I had no problems connecting with the characters as they bring the story to life. They also bring twists and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a story of a kidnapping of an FBI agent and his wife using special abilities to find him. Cat has made a promise to her husband Tom to not use her special abilities on him but will she break that promise to find him? I really enjoyed Cat’s character. She is strong and determined to get what she wants. She made the story entertaining and easy to read. This made a great afternoon read and I highly recommend it.
