Safe Harbor: A Logan McKenna Mystery #5 (The Logan McKenna Series) By Valerie Davisson
Davisson has really outdone herself with Safe Harbor. Safe Harbor leaves you hanging to the edge of your seat wanting more.
Logan decides that it’s time for a vacation. Her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are coming with her. As is Ben, her boyfriend.
Once there things don’t go quite as planned. A murder? Again? Can Logan catch a break? The quote I chose for Logan is: “Oh, you can just call me Logan, Logan McKenna. My husband passed away several years ago.”
This is the 5th book in the series and I enjoyed this just as much as the other books. It can be read as a standalone however I would recommend reading the other four as it helps build the characters.
Logan is back in another story full of twists, turns and mayhem. However this time things hit a little to close to home.
Logan finds herself in another homicide investigation but this time she is a suspect. How can she prove her innocence?
Added to this is the reappearance of her mother. After leaving Logan and her brother when they were kids why has she returned now and what does she want.
Its a story about heartbreak and forgiveness along with the murder and mystery that these books are well known for.

A Merry Texan Christmas (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge #3) by Nicole Flockton
Trey, the eldest and baseball player, finally comes home to settle down. Thing is though, he never thought about finding love. He comes to find that he’s not the only one who loves Christmas. The quote I chose for Trey is: “I’m not going to deny I was a little taken aback, but it’s not something I’m going to keep bringing up. I’m also sorry you had to find out about this contract the way you did. I’m going to discover how it happened. I don’t like that it’s out like this. The Stars now believe that I’m going to play with them and I haven’t even given serious thought to what I’m going to do.”
Maggie, school librarian and towns’ window dresser, finds herself in some competition. What happens when her crush from school moves back? The quote I chose for Maggie is: “You’re right. I need to go. I love him. I don’t want to go through what I’ve gone through the last few days without him nearby. I’ve got to suck it up and find out what he has to say.”
Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.
Moonlight and Belladonna by Jae Dawson is part of the Hartwood Romance series, and was an incredible read! The cover was what initially drew me in, but as soon as I opened it I fell in love with this book the minute I started reading the first page. The characters came to life and were relatable, and the plotline was just great. While it seems on the surface that it’s just about like every book I’ve read before, it’s not at all once you start reading. There is so much life to the story, and heart and humor, it’s difficult to put this book down once you pick it up. I laughed and cried while reading this novel. I highly recommend this one!

I am so sad this series is over but what an amazing series this was. This book follows Trey, a retired baseball player who is now a bookstore owner and Maggie the town’s librarian. These books all have amazing characters and each with their own unique personality and so relatable in their own small ways. If you want a quick read and even a Christmas read, this is the book for you.

Grumbler’s Ride: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2 by Manda Mellett is a MC romance suspense story. This is a slower paced story than the usual but does pick up toward the end but that doesn’t mean it is anything less than the others. Manda is one of my favourite storytellers and MC is her genre. She knows just how to do it greatly and I must say I think this is my new favourite. Grumbler, our main character is older to boot, soon finds himself finding something he never thought he would have. Now the stakes are even higher, and he is in the fight to win. I love these guys who are big teddy bears BUT cross a line and you are free fodder for fire. As usual Manda has given us an awesome story and just as awesome characters.

The First Noel: A Tale of Friendship by Clare Johnson is a family/children’s story and a nice tale to share with them in the Christmas spirit. It is a whimsical tale of a friendship which starts in a Nativity setting of the birth of baby Jesus. Clare states the narrative was born from a ballet production and is a story to teach the lessons of friendship and love, to stand up for what you believe in even though others may not agree or is not the norm. The story structure is told in poem format which took me a while to settle into. The illustrations are colourful and depict the dancing throughout the story.

The Opposite of Addie is part of the Secrets in the Springs series by Julie C Gardner. It is a full story, and I am not sure if the other books overlap or are the same story. This is the first I have read in this series, but I would read more, and I don’t feel like I was missing any backstory. I was really worried at first about all the perspectives getting confusing, but it was well written and smooth transitions. We see the story from the point of view of Addie, Jake, Josie and Alex. While weird at first, I actually really liked it. We get to see the feelings and thoughts of everyone in the story and it gives a rounded view, and relate more. It makes the story more relatable. She captures the thoughts and language of a child as well as adults. The feelings were very realistic and gave us a better understanding to the why people did what they did. I look forward to reading the other stories in the series.

Gardner – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez
5 stars Such a perfect book to read at this time of year to enter me into the Christmas season and boost my Christmas spirits. I quickly became lost in the story, and couldn’t wait to see what would happen at each turn. Trey and Maggie’s chemistry is awesome! It is really sweet that Maggie “used” to have a crush on him, but we all know she never lost that crush. The love she has for Christmas is everything I wish I was. Their little rivalry is cute and had me smiling. Trey seems like the perfect man to me, he is retired from baseball and now runs a book store and it doesn’t hurt that of course he is good looking. The fact that he can decorate a window for Christmas doesn’t hurt either. Watching these two grow in their relationship and in general is sweet and fun to watch. I really enjoyed this series, and I’m sad it has ended. Are you sure there are no other secret brothers we can add in?

Murder Makes Waves (Jack and Frances mysteries Book 3) By Carmen Radtke 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Murder Makes Waves (Jack and Frances mysteries Book 3) by Carmen Radtke. It is a story that includes mystery, danger, and murder. It is a book that had me hooked from the very beginning. I love the characters of Frances Palmer, her fiancé Jack Sullivan and Frances’s Uncle Sal. Frances is an intelligent woman who is very much in love with Jack. Jack is a businessman who enjoys taking pictures and sketching them as well. Uncle Sal is a magician who dazzles an audience. While traveling by ship, they find themselves privately investigating the death of one of the passengers. Will they be able to clear one of Frances’s new friends of the murder? Read this book to find out. I love the time that this book takes you back to. It is fun to read about how life is lived at the time and also some of the phrases that are used. The book also had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced and interact with Frances, Jack, and Uncle Sal. The author does a wonderful job of making the story and the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on an amazing book that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett 5 of 5 Stars I am a big fan of Manda Mellett’s ‘Satan’s Devils’ romantic suspense MC novels and so was looking forward to this second book in he ‘Satan’s Devils MC San Diego’ series. In ‘Grumbler’s Ride’ we are back with the MC members of the Satan’s Devils SAN Diego chapter. This book does include some dark themes which may contain triggers but these are part of the overall storyline and as usual Mellett writes with honesty and sensitivity. The story centres around sergeant-at-arms Grumbler, who has been part of the Satan’s Devils for ever and who is fairly happy with his settled life believing himself too old to change his ways. However, he’s never had an ‘old lady’ , or kids but doesn’t feel like he’s missing out. Things change for Grumbler and become complicated when Mary enters his life at a photo shoot featuring Grumbler’s baby (his motorcycle). Mary is a busy and frazzled single mum to seventeen year old Alicia who is always trying to push boundaries and challenge her mum. Mary is horrified when she discovers Alicia is going to model for a perfect stranger without a chaperone and despite the arguments Mary goes to the photo shoot with her daughter. Mary was right that the situation and the photographer were not above board but she’s surprised when it’s the gruff owner of the motorcycle used in the shoot, biker Grumbler who helps her and Alicia when they need backup. I was hooked from start to finish by ‘Grumbler’s Ride’ and I liked the fact that the main characters, Grumbler and Mary were an older couple getting a second chance at love later in life. The storyline is fast paced and the plot is full of drama, suspense and romance which kept me reading late into the night. The characters as usual are well defined and both Grumbler, Mary and Alicia are all very realistic and relatable making me feel invested in the outcome for them all in the story. The story took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it and although it does include some difficult scenes and tackles some sensitive issues these add depth to the overall story. I found ‘Grumbler’s Ride’ to be an enjoyable, emotional and engaging read. I look forward to future Satan’s Devils novels.

My love for Manda Mellet and her Satan’s Devils began in Colorado and has now moved to San Diego!
Lost is the name of the president of the San Diego chapter of the Satan’s Devils motorcycle club. Lost is well, lost. And for most of the book he is finding himself. And finding a reason for happiness, which he finds in Patsy who is in danger. Lost makes her his top priority.
Patsy and her son, Dan, are trying to start a new life away from the trouble Pasty’s ex-husband started before his death. But some things are hard to escape. Maybe the help from a Lost man is all Patsy needs. I like this story and the growth that Lost makes throughout it. I love that this story has older characters as the lead. Not every hero/heroine is a 20-something Barbie girl!
Glad I have the next book in this series ready to go!

Blood of the Dragon (Relic Hunters Book 4) By Martin Ferguson 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Blood of the Dragon (Relic Hunters Book 4) by Martin Ferguson. It is a story that includes action, danger, evil, and amazing characters. This book finds Adam and the Relic Hunters at the former home of Vlad the Impaler. Once their journey begins, they find themselves up against evil and darkness. What does the future hold for Adam and the Relic Hunters? Will they survive? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I have grown to care about what happens to Adam and the Relic Hunters with each book that I read. They are a group that works together and cares about each other. Each one would do anything to help each other out. Then some work against them. They have an agenda, and it doesn’t include being caught or stopped. This book includes mystery, suspense, and thrills. I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the final page. The author knows how to make the story and the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that will have you hooked from the very beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

High Heels And Mistletoe (Kisses Under The Mistletoe) By C.A. King 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book High Heels And Mistletoe (Kisses Under The Mistletoe) by C.A. King. It is a holiday story that made me smile and laugh, as well as giving me that warm feeling that the holidays are all about. I love the characters of Julietta Romero and Luke Winslow. Julietta is a woman who is intelligent, independent, and has a problem when mistletoe is around. She finds herself having to close a deal for the company she works for before she can take her vacation. It is then that she meets Luke. Luke is a man that has a reputation. He isn’t one to consider a relationship longer than one night. Then he meets Julietta. There is an attraction between them that can’t be denied. What does the future hold for Julietta and Luke? Read this book to find out. This is a story that will get you in the holiday spirit while also giving you reasons to laugh along the way. I grew to care about what happens to Luke and Julietta with each chapter that I read. They are characters that I rooted for them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about all of the additional characters and how they interacted with Julietta and Luke. The author does an amazing job of making the story come alive and I found myself not wanting to put the book down until the final page. Don’t miss out on a story that is entertaining and has moments that will touch your heart. I highly recommend reading it.

The Devil’s Day (Lucky Devil #3) by Megan Mackie 4 Stars!!!!
Another adventure at the Lucky Devil. I have to say that this author has such a unique and refreshing style. I was drawn into the action as though I was part of it. I really like how the characters have a complex mix of interaction. I really like how they all seem to compliment one another and the story is also mixed with bits of back story that brings adds to all.
I really found myself drawn to Rune’s character. I could see how as the story progresses she is coming more into her own self. I really like the drama that unfolded in this book as it was very explanitory of her story and that of her family. I like the undertone of romance. I look foreward to reading more from this series as well as this author.

Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett is book two of the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series.
Grumbler’s life is just the way he wants it. He never felt that he missed out on anything. All he needs is his motorcycle. He never expected things to get quite so complicated. Mary, as a single mom, is used to handling things on her own and she never expected to need help let alone that of Grumbler. He seems abrasive and gruff but the way he helped Mary and Alicia was so sweet!
The build up of the characters and the story was great and kept me hooked the whole time I was reading! Each book gets better as they go!

A Merry Texan Christmas is book 3 in the Prentice Brothers series by Nicole Flockton. I am yet to read the other books in this series (although I will definitely put them on my ‘to read’ list now), but this book can be enjoyed as a standalone read. Maggie Watson is a librarian in a little town in Texas, the type of place where everyone knows your business and your neighbours are your friends. I always love books that have that small town feel, full of characters not just people. Trey Prentice is a former baseball star who is now back in his hometown and running the local bookstore. He bonds with Maggie over their enjoyment of Christmas lights and decorations, and when the mayor calls upon ‘Mr and Mrs Christmas’ to join forces they soon become more than friends. This is a lovely Christmas read, and the perfect way to spend your afternoon if you’re looking for a feel good read. The characters are a joy to read, and really bring the story to life.

Gardner – Review by Kerry Carr
This is the fourth book in this series. I enjoyed it just as much as the previous three. I have liked this series from the beginning. It is fast paced and engaging and this book is no different. It is a well developed story that has characters that are connectable and make the story entertaining. I had no problems connecting with them as they made the story realistic and easy to read. Adam and his friends find themselves in another adventure of a fight for their lives. What will happen when they realize that they are the hunted and not the hunters? What happens to Adam and the other Hunter Relics I highly recommend reading this book. I really enjoyed the adventure they took me on. I had a hard time putting this book down with all the action happening. A great young adult book that anyone would enjoy.

Grumbler’s Ride is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series by Manda Mellett. I have read all of Ms. Mellett’s books now, and always enjoy what she does- she always produces a captivating read, and this story was no different. This is an MC romance, with an older couple- as well as exploring some sensitive topics. Grumbler and Mary’s story makes a great addition to the series, and Satan’s Devils world. It is a slower paced/slower burn story than some of Ms. Mellett’s other books- but still delivers all the feels we’ve come to expect from her work.

The Sanctuary Chronicles Box Set – Book 1-3 + Novellais a spellbinding series by India Kells. This is my absolute favourite series of hers, so far! This is definitely one of my all-time favourite fantasy/paranormal romance series and one I highly recommend to anyone who loves paranormal romance, fantasy, or who just wants a fantastic read. This boxset is the perfect way to explore the series- getting all four books in one handy package. But get set for quite a ride- and prepare to develop an India Kells book addiction. The Box Set contains: -Broken Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles Book #1) -Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles Book #2) -Dead Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles Book #3) -Hidden Magic (A Sanctuary Chronicles Novella- Book #3.5)
I could rave on and on about this series, but you would need an hour just to read my review- so I will leave you with my review for one of the books, just to give you an idea of what to expect.
BLIND MAGIC (Book #2) 5 Stars
Blind Magic is the second book in The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells. OMG!! This Book, and Series is brilliant! I love everything about it, but especially the wonderful story that completely enchanted me right from the beginning and held me spellbound right through till the end. I couldn’t put it down, because I just had to know how things would play out- so I ended up reading it in one sitting! Ms. Kells weaves a breathtaking Paranormal/shifter story with werewolves, witches, spells, magic, suspense, intrigue, drama, mystery, and a really beautiful romance. This story could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the first book before embarking on this one, because there are a lot of recurring characters in this book who we meet in the first book, and a lot of backstory and character information is also contained in the book one. Not to mention that it’s an exceptionally good story in its own right. The epilogue at the end of book one set us up for book two, and becomes the prologue in this book. I am still in awe of all the seemingly small details that are intricately woven throughout the story that turn out to have unexpected connections and deeper meaning later on down the line. The story is so superbly written, wonderfully detailed, with vivid descriptions that help to bring everything into being. I was completely swept up in Sera and Ian’s story and followed along expectantly the whole way through. We met Sera in book one as she is one of Valeria’s best friends. Apart from being a powerful witch, Sera is a renowned scholar and researcher, who spends a great deal of time with her nose buried in the books at Impossibilities Inc, the specialty store for witches and magical beings, where Sera works. She is incredibly intelligent, loyal, and kind- with a bit of a stubborn streak. She has worn glasses for quite some time, as her eyesight has been slowly failing over the years. She expects that at some point she will lose it entirely- but she is completely unprepared when blindness strikes quite suddenly. It comes as a great shock and she has been having trouble adjusting to never seeing again- especially since the last thing she saw before losing her sight was the dark and intriguing werewolf she can’t help but feel drawn to and would love to look at some more. Ian Macon’s world was shattered several years earlier when his wife and young daughter were killed by rogue Enforcers. His rage nearly made him feral. He was broken, alone and became bitter towards everything and everyone. Asher brought him to the Sanctuary and gave him a place there, where he could make a difference helping others. Ian is now the beta to Asher’s Alpha of the pack. He is strong, powerful and commanding in his own right, but still a shell of the wolf he once was. His one true mate died- so he will never again find that connection with anyone else, that bond died with his mate. But meeting Sera was like a beacon shining through his darkness, beckoning him into the light. But one thing I have learned about Ms. Kells is that things are never simple, there are layers and complexities yet to reveal themselves. There is definitely a lot more to Sera and her situation, which we discover and that comes into play in a huge way. Ian can’t fight his attraction, or his protective feelings towards Sera- and even though ‘mixed’ relationships are outlawed by the governing council, sometimes fate has a mind of its own. But, danger is stalking Sera, putting her and all those she cares about in serious peril. She will have to find answers and get to the bottom of everything before it’s too late. But will she have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the one/s she loves? There were time through this story where I had my heart in my mouth, reading along anxiously as things played out! The suspense, mystery, tension and intrigue were superb! It was so well done, it was like having a movie play out in front of me. There were emotional points throughout the book, that really made my heart ache- but the last few chapters had me literally sobbing my heart out- I was so caught up in everything that was happening, the story broke me and flung my emotions all around the place, before Ms. Kells slowly pieced me back together again…. And I. Loved. Every. Single. Moment. Of. It! I can’t recommend this story highly enough! You really should do yourself a favour and grab a copy, because you’re sure to love it as much as I have!

Firstly you need to read the previous books in the series before divulge into this book othwise you miss key parts. You want suspense and romance this book is for you. Rune is a very strong character rebuilding her life what can change now. Will the devil come to collect. I could not put this book down until the end of the story.

Bonds That Beckon is the first book in the Daughters of Anubis seriesby Kelli Kimble. It is a YA small town paranormal tale- a bit of a coming of age story about fitting in, acceptance, small town mentality, feeling like the outcast, prejudices, friendship, family, drama, and self-discovery. I didn’t connect with the story or characters like I had hoped to- as this story should have been right up my alley. I felt like something was missing and wanted to know more about the characters, backstories, and situation. But, I plan on revisiting it soon, before I start on the next book, to see if I still feel the same way- or if I was merely having an ‘off’ reading day with it.

War of the Damned is the third book in the Relic Hunters series by Martin Ferguson. It is a fantastic YA adventure- with plenty of action, mystery, danger, historical details, Relic Hunters, interesting & quirky characters, enemies, the past returning, a fight for survival, twists and turns; with a complex, intriguing, and multi-layered storyline. As I have mentioned before, this series really would make a great movie, TV series- or exciting adventure game for PC, Xbox, PlayStation etc. We team up with the Relic Hunters as they set off on an excavation of a well-preserved WWII German U-Boat. But what they uncover is far more than they could ever have imagined. Danger soon follows- making for another exciting read, as they fight for survival. They will definitely have to call on all their skills, and more, if they are to survive and save the day! Looking forward to more adventures with the Relic Hunters.

I loved reading the book The North Wind Descends (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes. It is a brilliantly written story that is full of intrigue and danger. The story has Lord Hani wondering why King starts honoring him. The story is well developed story and has many twists and turns which kept me guessing.

This is the third book of the series. This starts very dramatically as Lord Hani is through these tombs. This hit so close to now with the pandemic going on it eerie how much of the Universe is similar how the world is now.
