My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this Christmas romance story. It is a story that is full of Christmas magic and spirit. This is my first book by this author, I look forward to reading more from her in the future. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life and pulled me into their world from the start. This is a fast paced, shorter book that I read in one sitting which kept me turning pages to the end. This is a story about Chloe and Jason. Chloe was looking forward to a promotion she has worked so hard for until he walked through her door. Her only solution was to go back home and pull herself together before the New Year starts. Not only has Jason taken Chloe’s job, he is determined to take her heart. What will happen to them as Jason suddenly shows up in her hometown? Will the Christmas magic work its way into Chloe? I really enjoyed the characters and how well written this story was. It was entertaining and fun to read. I highly recommend reading this book and finding out what fate has in store for these two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I really love this author; I have read so many of her books and think she is such a versatile writer. I am always swept up into her books as soon as I start them and Fake Fiancé was no exception. I’m a bit of a sucker for the second chance romance stories, I always find myself rooting for the characters the whole way through, so I guessed that along with the amazing author and this trope I was in for a good read. I LOVED Adeline and Stone! Oh my gosh what a couple! They attraction, the chemistry – just everything about them was amazing! Their relationship wasn’t straight forward but I just absolutely loved reading about them. I love the story was as predictable as I thought it would be. It was a fantastic 5 star read and I would definitely recommend it to other readers!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It was a lovely contemporary romance read with lovely characters. I loved the setting for the story it was so peaceful and serene, the authors descriptive language made me feel like I was there at times. I loved Raven and Jack, they had a nice amount of genuine chemistry, it felt like they should be together and I was rooting for them the whole way through. There were some nice twists in the story. This is the second book in the series and I read it as a standalone however I definitely would love to read the first book just so I can be in the beautiful Heron Harbor again!
A lovely read that I would highly recommend!

This was a really sweet and short read. I really liked the story; the characters were nice and relatable. I actually thought I had predicted what was going to happen in the story so I was pleasantly surprised when I was proved wrong. I think because the story was so short I didn’t really connect with the characters like I would in a longer story but that didn’t make me enjoy the story any less. I really liked the authors writing style so I would I definitely love to read more from her again in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this fast-paced, suspenseful story, full of plot twists as well as romance. Sloane and Luke are well-developed characters, with complexities and chemistry. I loved the Chicago setting mixed in with urban exploration and drug addiction. India Kells’ writing flows so smoothly and I could really see sparks flying. This is definitely an intense page-turner.

First, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay
Four Stars

First, We KillAll the Lawyers is the first book in The Donovan Trait series by Seelie Kay. This is a paranormal suspense, filled with action, adventure and romance. This is a different genre than I’m used to with Seelie, but I was amazingly greatful I pick it up and can’t wait for the next book in this series. This story had me hooked on the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last. Donovan Trait is a wonderful character. He is a charming, confident lawyer. Oh and did I mention he. Is a vampire. If you looking for a change of pace from all of the holiday books, I would definitely recommend this great read.

Urban Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel #2)Urban Justice by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Urban Justice is the 2nd book in the Chicago Vigilantes series by India Kells. I recommend reading them in order, to get the full understanding of the vigilantes purpose and members. However, it could be read out of order. They are great quick books, and you won’t want to put them down. This book is filled with a good mix of romance, action, suspense, and justified violence. I like that the female lead, Sloane, is an awesome strong bad @$$ woman! She is an ex cop, and holds her own against the men. She is on a mission and rocks it! I love the sense of mystery that builds throughout the story between Sloane and Luke. Can’t wait for the next book in the series. Love Kells’ writing style, she hooks you early and you don’t want to let go!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Santa Got Run Over by a Vampire (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 4) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.

I have read this series and while I know it’s going to be good, I always forget just how fun this series is. This book is no exception. Just the concept is hilarious and it is done in not only a fun way, but it is so interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. If you are familiar with the series, some of the characters you have come to love are back, and obviously we meet some new ones too. Santa and Mrs. Claus are great. The originality in this book makes the story so exceptional and you will be wishing there was more. At the same time, it is a complete story, the author does not leave you wondering.

While there are reoccurring characters from previous books, this one can easily be read as a standalone. If you are a fan of fun supernatural books and looking for something a little different for the holidays, this book is for you. In fact, considering the way this year has been, this is a refreshing, fun way to end the year.

Four Stars

I was seriously laughing so hard while reading this story. I’ve never read a book so funny that I couldn’t put it down because I was laughing so hard. The author really knew what she was doing when she wrote the story about our main lead Jane. It almost seem like she just could not help saying whatever popped into her head. The Willy Wonka comment was hysterical you have to read that part because you will die laughing. I do think that it was a little bit too much at times because it almost took away from the main part of the story. I also felt like she got away with it a little bit too much people kind of just ignore the fact that she did it and it was like yeah you should really speak up about that. I do feel that the author did an amazing job with writing the characters around her because they kind of pick up where she lacked. And the whole thing with her dad oh my gosh threw me off like way off. And Santa oh my goodness I cannot believe she did that to Santa. Anyway it was really good story especially when you got more into the heart of it into what the author was trying to get at the plot of the story. I really did like Gaston his character was very interesting because he was very goofy almost but also serious. I definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for a holiday laugh something that’s not to be taken serious but you still enjoy it anyway.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this little look into Jane and Ethan’s life! The holiday aspect added to the story and I stayed up late reading….wondering what was up with Santa. The story moves along at a jolly good pace and easily put me in the holiday spirit. It is full of Santa-isms, puns and Jane’s crazy swear words. Jane is still a spirited gal Who takes all her accidents in stride. This isn’t her biggest but to me it’s the most fun one. I mean who doesn’t want to take a ride on Blitzen??

Overall I enjoyed this look back into Ethan, Gaston and Jane’s undead lives. They are still the same snarky, full of dry humor characters. We even get to see a few others from the series. The story is well written and really put me in the holiday spirit. It is full of holiday laughs and fun. I would highly recommend and not necessary but read License to Bite first since it’s how these characters meet.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As with any book by this author, you are drawn into the story from the get go and taken for one heck of a ride. Sloane is an ex-cop turned vigilante, trying to rid the city of a drug called Phantom, with the help of some others. Enter Luke and we have everything you could need in a story. I don’t like to give details as all books should be read and experienced in your own way but I cannot wait to get to know the rest of this group and this story was just as good as the first.

Music plays such a large part in our lives. I really found this book to be fascinating and emotional as I dove into the individual thoughts/essays and explored the music that “played” throughout. Kane does a beautiful job putting this work together. I appreciate the introspection and emotion that obviously went into crafting this work. This memoir is definitely worthwhile.

I love Enemies to Lovers stories but even though you know the just of the story you don’t know all the complicated stuff in-between. I honestly loved how much they hated each other it was amusing. It took me a while to warm up to Callie she just seemed a tad stuck up but i gradually started to like her. Gianluca is hot, rich and a complete prick, but that’s why you will fall in love with him. Gets very steamy at times and i cant wait for the rest of the books. I loved the Authors writing style she really brought the story well together.

The characters are complex and well developed, the attention to even the smallest details always get me with this series you can tell the author takes great pride in what’s being written. The storyline is a faster paced storyline but in no way is that a bad thing it just keeps you on your toes. It’s a well written story that keeps me engaged from start to finish and I love every minute of it. I’m excited to see where this author takes readers next. Four big stars and highly recommended.

Cuckoo Clock - New York (Unbroken Bonds Book 3)Cuckoo Clock – New York by Elisabeth Marrion
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am huge fan of War books. Each and every book I read or every movie I watch about the poignant state of Jews in the Nazi Germany deeply moves me. This is a story of Jewish doctor Esther Rosenthal who escapes from Berlin. When her husband is detained before the danger which befell on Jews in Nazi Germany. She escapes with her father and in the course of their flight to England, she meets a group of Jewish children, who were being moved from a Berlin Orphanage to England on a Kindertransport. She adopts three of them and she and her father try to support them with the best they have. They travel to New York, but Esther is forced to return to Europe because of her own personal reasons.
Together or separated, how these characters show solidarity and support to each other forms the crux of the story. Like and WW2 book, this book is also heart wrenching and deftly brings out the plight of the Jews and their extreme circumstances they were put through.
I loved the author’s narration style and I am going to pick up the first two books of the author as well.

This was my first book by Cori Cooper. Once I read the synopsis I was hooked. I love reading YA books. There’s just not the same “drama” as an adult book more often than not. If there is, it’s not the same and it’s a wonderful break from life. This book was so adorable. I love our main female character Cat Anderson. She’s your quintessential teenage girl. There are a lot of supporting cast members that make this book for me. Her cousin Robyn is the sweetest. I also read this book out loud with my son’s at bed time. Now we have to bake every recipe in the book! I recommend this book for a great, sweet, magical read.

Aiko is the first in The Heartstrings Series and I will definitely be following this one as it unfolds closely. This is a light and easy read that will have you swooning and giggling at all the right moments. I loved how this made cupid seem realistic or believable. Aiko is cupid and she is not slated to be the best one lol. She has had the worst luck. Alejandro is her latest client to find love for but what will happen when Aiko’s heart starts making some objections to hooking him up with anyone but her?!?! This is a fun one you don’t want to miss. I can’t wait to see what book two will bring us.

Eye of Death (Vampire State, #3)Eye of Death by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series just keeps getting better and better, a feat I though Charalambides had made difficult to do with the last book in this series. Eye of Death is the third book in the Vampire State series from Charalambides. I would recommend that you start with book one if you haven’t before diving into this one. This is not your typical vampire or vampire romance series and really reimagines the rules we have come to expect in this particular trope. I love the action and adventure as well as the world building Charalambides weaves into his novels. I feel as if I could be right there alongside my favorite characters as they experience these adventures. I can’t say much more about the story line that isn’t already mentioned in the synopsis without ruining too much so I won’t. I can promise you this is one you do not want to miss out on reading though and you will be hooked on Charalambides unique writing styles that I have also come to love. Can’t wait for the next thing from him!
