Starting with an action-packed sequence that grips the reader, this book doesn’t slow down. I fell in absolute love with the characters, the character’s action and the while that is this book. I was driven in immediately but by the way it all quickly gained my attention and piqued my interest as I’m sure it will for you. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed because even if this can be read as a standalone but the entire Moonlit collection is beautiful. Give it a read as a standalone or a collective.

I’ve read plenty of books by Mr. Stuart Ledwith and all of his previous books have hit a special place in my heart. That has instantly made Mr. Ledwith one of my favorite authors. This book is no exception to his prior books I’ve read from this author. BUT, this book HERE, it is so endearing if that fits. I day endearing because the ghost stories he so carefully selected made me feel so thrilled. Thrilled, because, it wasn’t your run-of-the-mill ghost stories. You can you tell they all came from an open space and to share a special place in his heart. That alone, touched my heart and made my mind intrigued to read the special treasure that this book is.

Corporate Christmas is a great contemporary romance by Bernadette Marie. This was the first time that I had read any of this author’s work but I was attracted by the blurb and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad that I decided to take a chance with this book as I really enjoyed it and would definitely read more of Bernadette Marie’s work if this book is any thing to go by. I really loved the main female character Chloe Richardson. She’s feisty, talented and willing to work her backside off for something she really wants: and that is to land the big contract and get a promotion. However her dream crashes round her when her boss’ son hires someone for the promoted role and then fires her, even though she lands the contract, with the help of newly hired Jason Mitchell, who she really wants to hate but can’t help admiring. I really enjoyed this book. Chloe and Jason’s story is a really great read that I was drawn into from the beginning and was kept engaged in by a great storyline which is well written and flows well making it an easy read. With the added attraction of this being a Christmas story which I love reading this is a book that I’d definitely recommend.

This is my first read by this author and I LOVED it! It felt like a true cozy mystery book right from the beginning. It is funny, light-hearted, and engaging. You immediately feel connected to the characters and the humor is spot on. The relationship between the Gram, Mom, and daughter is well written and made this very short story that more enjoyable! I can’t wait to read the next one. If you enjoy, light hearted, fun, paranormal, stories you will want to go get this one asap!

Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 2) by T. Christensen. Ok I will be honest after the ending of Breaking Tessa I was almost afraid to read this one.

Tessa is from San Jose and not used to the spotlight at all and Jordan Davis is a star basketball player so when Tessa gets pregnant by him and lets someone supposedly looking out for Jordan bribe her she accepts.

Emotional good read.

Wow where to start with this book. It was a gripping read from the first page. I couldn’t put it down. Especially in the current world reading this story gets you thinking about the situation we find ourselves in today. The book is aimed at young adults but it is a very enjoyable read for anyone. The author does an amazing job of building the characters and creating the scenes that you feel right in the middle of the story with them.

As a first time reader of K.G. Fletcher, I am happy that The Nearness of You was the book I read. This book is a bewitching romance story between David Randle, a British supermodel on holiday to attend his sister’s wedding, and Lauren Rose, a lounge singer with dreams of making it big. Add in a dastardly assistant with not-so-nice intentions for some great angst, some great locations, and meddling family and you have yourself a fairy tale with a modern twist. Ms. Fletcher does a wonderful job of keeping the reader entertained and engaged throughout the book. The off-the-charts chemistry between David and Lauren, the wholesomeness and down-to-earth personalities, and fun-loving sub-characters makes the story a very enjoyable read. A wonderful touch that Ms. Fletcher adds, is a playlist of music for the story (which can be found in the back of the book). This very much enhanced the story taking it from merely romantic to whimsical and enchanting. The music also lends a lyrical quality to the story that helps the story flow seamlessly. If you are looking for a book that is TRUE ROMANCE then this is the one you should definitely pick up. Ms. Fletcher has gained another fan of her books and I am looking forward to diving into her other tales!

Fiona and Connor have had some time apart but are now reunited. Can a blast from the past changed Fiona mind about where she is at the moment. This is a lovely short romance book. This story keep me glued from start to finish I finished on one reading session.
Nice, quick, steamy holiday read. The characters were interesting, interesting enough that when the book was over, I wanted more of them. How Finley and Garrett meet, as strangers at a bar, and the come to find out that they are actually in the same social circle due to his work, is fun to watch when the drama unfolds. The men of the firehouse and Finley’s brothers are all protective of her which is sweet but, its annoying when she thinks she has finally found something that could go somewhere with Garrett. Their relationship and the draw they have to each other is sweet and I was satisfied with how it ended but, hope maybe someday there will be more with these characters.
This is a lovely collection of romance books. This consists of 6 original stories each author brings thier own chrtimas magic to the party. You want romance, action and pets get this anthology for a cozy read. There’s a story for everyone. Thank you to the authors for this amazing collection.

Corporate Christmas by Bernadette Marie was a good 4 star read.
Chloe is a hard worker, so much so that she missed Thanksgiving with her family. She is working towards a promotion that she should have in the bag. When she meets Jason he has come into the office to speak with her boss’s son.
Jason gets the impression that Chloe is surprised to find out who he is. He doesn’t feel right about the situation and soon finds out that he had taken the job she was working towards. When he finds out the truth about Chloe’s departure from the company he is even more upset.
When Jason shows up in Aubrey Heights, Chloe is confused as to why he’s there. Will he be able to convince Chloe to work with him? Will these two give into their attraction and get a HEA?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I didn’t care too much for the boss’s son, and hated what he had done to Chloe. I really liked Chloe, she is a hard working woman with a great personality. Jason grew on me as well, the chemistry between them was great. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today on this great holiday read.

The Kissing Bough is my first read by this author and boy oh boy was it a hot one! This read you could tell from the very first page that it was going to be one that you wanted it to carry on, and for a read that was short like this it really did have everything and more! I really enjoyed this book, while it had the perfect storyline and brilliant characters the scenes which this author gives us are off the charts hot and passionate, while also capturing the innocence of Viola and the desire and want, all while being somewhat gentlemanly of Percy & Lord William. These characters have an instant connection, their chemistry is off the charts and I really wanted to find out more. If you want a Christmas romance read that heats up the pages and leaves you wanting more then this is the book for you!
This was a fantastic YA sci-fi read. As a person who’s been mainly a fantasy and historical fiction reader, I’ve been pushing myself to break into sci-fi this year. Becoming Human is exactly what I needed. Despite the outlandish settings, alien characters and impossible advanced technology, the story is a grounded exploration of the qualities of humanity. You get to explore the importance of individuality, diversity and fragility through the narrative of three teenagers from different worlds. I recommend Becoming Human to any young adult interested in sci-fi or any adult who is looking for a YA read.

What happens when Detective Miriam Marty shields her heart from the past and comes face to face with a serial killer? The plain and simple answer is trouble; but with Miriam Marty, there’s always more to the story and it’s never simple.
Miriam bleeds integrity with a tough as nails exterior that permits only a few trusted people inside of her world. After spending years building up the walls that have sheltered Miriam from her past, Jesse, the only man she’s ever loved, makes an unexpected return back to Miriam’s home town.
Jesse has acquired all of the necessary skills for keeping relationships at bay. His new job as a fireman finds him returning to a place he once called home. What should be a sentimental homecoming turns into disaster for his heart when he finds old feelings stirred up, stronger than ever, for Miriam.
Miriam questions her own sanity as sleepless nights find her hunting the Decade Hunter, believing it to be the most challenging case of her career. She soon discovers that resisting Jesse at every turn proves even more difficult than the daunting task of chasing down a serial killer at large.
In plain sight lies the façade of a man who has played them all for fools, educating Miriam on a lesson she’s failed miserably at in her past–trust. Trust, not only in the game of love, but in laying one’s trust down in the safe cocoon we all find comfort in –only to have it blown apart in a heartbeat.

This was my first book by this author and I found it to be fairly good. The authors writing style made it a fast paced read with some great details. I found that the characters were well written, but they lacked much back story to really make me connect with them. There were moments that I would start to feel a little connection, but just not enough. I would have liked to have seen the author push a bit more with some details and part of it felt like the storyline was jumpy. I felt that the author did a great job of making Selena relatable and you can tell the author did some research on the matter, which as a reader I appreciated. I see that this is the first in a series and I feel there was enough potential there to give a second book a chance:)

Irresistible Christmas – Pets to the Rescue is an anthology, seven stories written by seven different authors. So far I’ve read the Two Hearts Christmas’s Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. This is a story about Kinley and Jake. The last time Jake saw Kinley was back in high school when he had a huge crush on her. Now after years of service in Afghanistan, Jake is working under cover helping at the animal shelter with Kinley to train service dogs for wounded vets. This is a lovely story that occurs near Christmas – I enjoyed reading it this Christmas season. I hope other readers enjoy it too!
Five – Alarm Christmas : A Novella by Melinda Valentine – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four Stars
This was a really quick read. The author literally gives you the briefest taste of what could be. When I reached the last page I kept swiping like more would appear lol. I was definitely wanting more. I liked how Finely was tough and didn’t hold back how she felt about other people being in her business. But I would never talk to my mom the way she did. I really liked how fun Garrett’s character is. He was ready to play Santa. He wasn’t scared to jump right in with Finley. Hope there is more to this story cause I will definitely be reading it. Seem like it will be a fun read with their personalities clashing.
Becoming Human by Amy Michelle Carpenter is a book that shows just how disastrous our lack of communication is. So many things that Carter should have said, so many things that Kokab should have been upfront about. To be fair though how could she have known, a life with no freewill. Ags certainly could have been more forthcoming but then she was ruled by her bias. Three different people that so rightfully portray our world in a small window. No communication, no freewill, a load of bias…quite a recipe for disaster. I enjoyed this book.

This book is from the perspective of Rick, the 3rd Ingram brother, but it can be read as a standalone. Roz Lee’s description was excellent, I was instantly transported into the story and could not put the book down. However, I felt at times the book stalled to the point where nothing was happening.
I am a child of the sixties, a conservationist, and a true believer in sustainability. I loved Antipodes by T.S. Simons. I loved the story of love, loss and guilt, (normal life) built around a world of sustainability. Saving the human race, (and we don’t know the end of that story yet), is an added bonus. The characters are all interesting and well defined. I loved the descriptions of the world that was left. In our year of Covid Fear this makes for a very timely story.

This was an interesting novel and I really found myself thinking real world problems even though this is very much sci-fi/fantasy. Becoming Human is my first experience with Amy Michelle Carpenter but will for sure be looking into her other published works in the near future.
In Becoming Human we get the unique story of three teenagers and their prospective worlds. Each world is working against the others and also have unique issues to each that enriches the story. I loved the way the characters and world building made me feel as if I could have been right there with them as the come of age and meet each of their adventures. I love that this is also a novel I can share with my teenage daughter and it will touch her just as much.

This is a fast-paced, action story that brings the characters to life. I especially loved the character Rowena who made the book worthwhile. Her perspective emphasised the suspense, drama and danger and kept me on the edge of my seat as I questioned everything.
