Faida (Heartstrings Book 2) by Brooke May. This is the second book in this series and it’s just as good as the first. In the first book we are introduced to Faida who is one of six beings that helps Cupid to mortals and their love life. Faida has had her heart broken so many times and been let down so many times that she no longer believes in the love she helps Cupid find for people. When she meets Ice King Robert Peters who has also been let down multiple times in love, Faida has met her match. When she tries to help Robert find love she is going to have to change her way of thinking to make it work. Robert has made it very clear he only loves one person and that is his daughter and nothing will change his mind. When Faida tells him he’s stuck with her until he finds love he’s not super excited. This story will make you laugh out loud and root for the underdog. Read Faida to find out if Robert finds true love.

Hell, Hath No Fury (Life is Hell #2) by Naomi Valkyrie
5 out of 5 stars
This is the second book in Life is Hell series written by Naomi Valkyrie and I enjoyed it… The book was a little slow at first not as fast paced as the first book in this series. I really enjoyed the characters and the way they played off each other and their little quirks.
We met Sheridan and Millicent in the first book of this series and there was an instant attraction but Sheridan fought her attraction to Millicent because Millicent does not know about paranormal stuff and with Sheridan being hedonism demon and all.
Now Millicent is in danger and Sheridan thinks its because of her. Sheridan instincts is to protect her – but she might also be the reason Millicent is in danger. It figures she finally find someone to give her heart to, but chances are she will just end up breaking hers – or get her killed….
Who is after Millicent? Is it really because of Sheridan or something else? Can Sheridan save Millicent? Will they have a happily ever after or will someone die?
Great read cannot wait until next book in series….

Evil’s Whisper is the first book in Jordan Elizabeth’s exciting Evil Saga. Set in a fantasy desert world, it mingles prophecy with the uncertainty of a violent and deceitful world. A particular theme I found interesting in this book is that of conflicting beliefs. Characters from different parts of Elizabeth’s vibrant world believe they are protected by different deities. For some, the coming of the Daughter of Darkness is a source of great hope. Others fear what they believe she will do and seek to stop her at any cost. As they meet each other, characters begin to question what they have taken for granted for so long. It’s a bit of a complicated story, with a lot of characters to keep track of and a narrative that jumps between different interwoven strands of the tale. This book requires a fair bit of attention to follow, but rewards readers with surprises, tension and mysteries. This is another one for my list of “Books published in late 2020 that feature a deadly illness”. Which is not necessarily a bad thing – it can be interesting to see some of the what-ifs explored in a fantasy setting (and this book certainly has an interesting approach!). But it is something to be aware of if you’re hoping for a read that will let you forget about COVID for a while. We’re left with a bit of a cliff-hanger – some strands of the story are resolved but there is plenty left for the sequel. I can’t wait to read it! For me, this is a five-star book. I would recommend it to fantasy fans looking to lose themselves in a new world, particularly those who enjoy stories with interesting politics and power dynamics at play.

Faida be Brooke May is the second book in the Heartstrings series. This is a great continuation of her series but can be read as a stand-alone. Although I found this was a pretty quick book to read I was fully drawn into the story from the start. I really enjoyed the characters and the connection between them. They both seemed so jaded at first and I loved how you saw them develop as the story went on. The book itself was a great story. The authors has created a sweet but fun story that you will find hard to put down once you start reading. It was wasn’t to read this book in one sitting, although I wish I could have made myself draw it out a little longer. Brooke May has done a brilliant job with this book and I would definitely recommend it.

The second in the ‘Heartstrings’ series introduces us to Faida, one of the six beings who help Cupid guide us mortals to love. Faida has grown jaded after eons of helping humans find love and as a result now has an ice cold heart. “Assassinations, infidelity, and betrayals of her past haunt her present”. However, Faida meets her match in ice king Robert Peters who has also been disappointed in love. Robert is cold and ruthless with everyone except his young daughter. Faida needs to soften her own heart towards love if she is to help Robert find love. This is an engaging and enjoyable sweet paranormal romance and the author really brings the characters and setting to life with her descriptive narrative. It’s a lighthearted and heartwarming romantic story which had me fully immersed in the story from start to finish. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone story but some of the characters do overlap. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Faida is the 2nd book in the Heartstrings Series by Brooke May. It is a funny but sweet paranormal romance. It can be read as a standalone but I’d recommend also reading Aiko, which is the first book in the series. Faida is a cupid. Cupid himself has too much work for just one person so had a small group of women who carry out much of his work for him. Having become demoralised about love, Faida is struggling with her role as a cupid. If she doesn’t have much belief in love herself, then how can she instil it in others. This is not helped when she’s given a tricky assignment to complete. Robert Peters only loves one person and that is his adorable daughter Alice. He has absolutely no wish to become involved in any romantic relationship so he’s less that impressed when Faida announces that he’s stuck with her until he falls in love. This is a funny and charming read. I particularly found the early interactions between Faida and Robert very amusing as both are exasperated with the other. This is a short book which I devoured in a couple of hours but the author manages to pack a lot of content in and keeps the reader engaged throughout.

Book Review: A Kiss Under a Blue Christmas Moon Author: Tamara Ferguson FIVE STARS A KISS UNDER A BLUE CHRISTMAS MOON (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance Book 4) by Tamara Ferguson is a sweet contemporary romance story. Second chances and the magic of Crystal Rock. Mia and Noah are very well developed characters.

A Kiss Under A Blue Christmas Moon is the fourth book in the Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance Series by Tamara Ferguson. Tamara has another wonderful book on her hands. She is one of my go to authors, and I have enjoyed this book. This book featured Mia and Noah who meet in high school, but are torn apart by misconceptions. After six years apart, will they be able to get passed the hurt feelings. This book flowed smoothly, the characters are amazingly real and down to earth. I highly recommend this book, series and author. Review by @sunbarn

Five Stars
There’s nothing like experiencing your first love and sharing that first kiss. This story was sweet and magical. I really enjoy Tamara’s stories. Each one is beautifully written. The unique settings and attention to detail is immaculate. In this story we have Mia and Noah. Sharing a journey of love and music. I really enjoyed how we watched they grow into themselves and learn to fight for their love. The author had the timing and place down to a science. That all consuming love is a beautiful and scary thing. I really enjoyed this story. I don’t believe I’ve ever been disappointed while reading any of this authors work. I also liked how raw the author made the characters. There was no holding back and I was here for it

A romance story about one of Cupid’s helpers. Like her Cupid helper sisters, Faida has been given a new assignment to help to someone find love again. The thing is, Faida has been helping humans find love for centuries and like many of us, she gets thinking about the relationships that didn’t work out. Will this one work or is it going to be another bust? At one point the assignment has her wondering what she’s missed and how much more can she do? The story is fun, at some points it has trouble, but overall it’s a great one. I hope you love it as much as I did.

This is a Christmas romance story. I am never displeased with any book by Tamara Ferguson that I have read. This story is included. The plotline is a simple love story but it is the characters that made this story special. The characters are fully developed and have captured my heart as well. This book is about Mia and Noah. Mia has a controlling father who sabotages Mia’s life. He was very controlling. Noah falls for Mia at a music camp. He writes her a song and sings it to her. She loves Noah but the forces that pull them apart. Now the time has passed and Mia and Noah have a chance at love again. Will Mia and Noah become a couple again? Or will it be another blue Christmas? I highly recommend this story to see if there is some Christmas magic left for Mia and Noah.

Fighting for Us is the first book in Bella Emy’s Love is Worth Fighting For series. It is also the first book I have read by her, but it won’t be the last. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series. I was hooked by this book from chapter 1. A friend told me how she was crying by the end of the first chapter, so I knew I had to check it out. I am so glad I did! There is something about Emy’s writing style that hooked me right from be beginning. The characters are wonderful and so relatable. The close relationships each lead has with their siblings and best friend was great. Not only did it build a well rounded story, it sets up for possible spin off stories. I know book 2 is going to be Ryker’s, but I hope Mari gets a story as well! I cant wait to see what happens there… But back to lead characters Lorenzo and Carissa- they both have been hurt in the past and are afraid to love again. But whether fate or just living in a small town- they keep running into each other and have an instant attraction. Both have been off the market for a while, and dealing with hurt, but for very different reasons. I love that Lorenzo is an ex Navy SEAL and MMA heavy weight champion, but also is a very sensitive male. I love that Emy showed real feelings and insecurities for both he and Carissa. It made me fall in love with him even more. Highly recommend this book, and look forward to reading more

A Kiss Under A Blue Christmas Moon by Tamara Ferguson is the fourth book in the Daydreams and Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. I thought this book was a great second chance holiday romance. It was easy to connect with the characters and get behind their story. You want them to find a way to make things work, despite what happened in their past. When it comes to this author I know that I will enjoy whatever book it is I am reading, this one being no exception. It is as well written and engaging as others I have read by her and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I would definitely recommend this author to anyone.

This is the 2nd book in the series. I’d highly recommend reading the first book before this one. The author has done a great attention to detail. Uqnitum has delt with alot of challanges in her life and is trying to find santracy. There is a great balance between history action and drama. A amazing read.

This is the frist book in the Gray Ghost series. Alex and Liv are married couple. This book is full of romance and suspene. Olivia is a very sweet and naivie character at times. I really enjoyed Olivia growth in this book. I really enjoyed the descriptivess of this book its extremely detailed. Amy excced my expections in this book. Wow that was an unexpected twist. A surprise whisk away and a conversation that wasn’t meant to be heard. I love Liam he’s so attentive. I found was the reader read really fast and I struggled to keep up with her at first. I would of like her to speak a little bit slower.

A KISS UNDER A BLUE CHRISTMAS MOON (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance Book 4) by Tamara Ferguson
Another amazing read by Tamara Ferguson! We get to see characters from other series. We get to see the town in different views.
Mia is a junior in high school and is looking to make a career out of music. Teaching music or dance is her preference. She catches the eye of the cool guy the first day of school. When her father destroyed it by blackmail. The quote I chose for Mia is: “That should be easy. With all the stuff that Bree packed for an overnight stay, I’m sure she must have brought something appropriate I can borrow.”
Noah is a senior getting ready to graduate. Heading to the Air Force has always been a dream and now it’s happening. He didn’t think things could get worse, but it does. The quote I chose for Noah is: “You might be right about her being shy. I just happened to hear her singing when I was looking for some music I left in the next classroom one day after school. I peeked inside, and she was sitting by herself playing the piano. She’s not half bad at that either.”

I give Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 5) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.
This series is great. Each book reminds me how much I love this author and series. Finders Reapers is yet another win. We met these characters briefly in other books, but now it’s their turn to shine, and they do such a spectacular job. I instantly fell in love with Jasmine, she is quirky and fun with a good heart. Both of them are just misunderstood beings who long for another. The struggle with them is so interesting to watch as it progresses. Not to mention the problem going on within their beloved city. This book has all you would love in a fun package — supernatural beings, fun, action, and romance. I hope this series never ends.
If you are a fan of quirky supernatural romance, this book and series are for you. It can be read as a standalone, but the whole series is so fantastic, you should really read them all.

Grace has haunted her ancestral home, Amberwood Hall, for 200 years. However, it wasn’t until it became a girls’ ballet school that she discovered her passion for the art. Now she has a burning desire to visit live ballet performances and experience the thrill of thunderous applause. But she can’t leave Amberwood!
Her fellow ghost, former stable boy Rodney (who can go anywhere he wants) has discovered that if Grace can help someone achieve their dream, she will be free of the spell that binds her.
So when twelve-year-old Lauren Mason auditions for a place at the school, Grace decides she’s the one. It seems though that Lauren is so wrapped up in problems she can’t dance, and she won’t let Grace help. Is another year to go by without Grace achieving her own dreams? Or can she break down Lauren’s defences?
A timeless, fast paced story combines humour and emotional conflict with the world of ballet boarding school.
My school life was spent in a girls’ boarding-school specialising in classical ballet and on leaving I danced professionally, touring Europe, for 4 years. After that I ran my own ballet school in Athens, Greece for a number of years and simultaneously volunteered as a veterinary nurse, as my love of animals is the driving force in my life. I returned to England with my horse and my cat, and now live on a smallholding in Shropshire with various farm animals and a constant stream of pets.
I started writing while in Greece and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writers’ Bureau. The same year, I won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult Fairy Story.
On my return to England I wrote two children’s books, but my new life, caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. I continued my love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.
I am now writing full time and THE GRACEFUL GHOST draws on my own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and my early teenage life, including divorced parents and a father who ‘took the dog’.
I am currently working on a 6 book series called TALLY AND THE ANGEL. Tally and her angel’s first adventure takes them to India. In the second book they go to Canada, in North Yukon and the third in Japan. I intend them to have adventures in Greece, Egypt, Peru – anywhere I have been, really.
Carly Lawson loves working winters as a ski patrol and summers as a rafting guide. The work is hard, but satisfying, and the soaring beauty of the Big Sky Ski Resort in Montana helps her forget the terrible mistake she made ten years ago—a secret she’s vowed to carry alone. Each winter brings a new lover, and each spring the end of that relationship—and that’s the way she likes it. But the new guy on the slopes is different.
A crash he can’t forget…
Downhill ski racer Chris Markham almost had it all—until his race for a spot on the Olympic team ended in a spectacular crash and life as a paraplegic. He’s not about to let that end his dreams; two years later, he’s got his sights set on the Paralympics. He’s come to Montana to concentrate on training, not get involved with a woman. But Carly makes him feel things he hasn’t felt in a long time—things he wasn’t sure he could feel.
In it for the long run…
Chris is conquering the slopes, but do his heart and body still have what it takes to satisfy a woman like Carly? Carly’s falling for Chris, but if she finds the courage to share her secret with him, can he forgive her past even when she can’t forgive herself? Will their relationship end before they make it out of the starting gate, or will they commit to making the longest run of their lives—together?
Many experiences influence Tracey’s writing, and she has been known to undertake unusual endeavors (such as firefighter training and learning to fly a helicopter) just for the sake of the experience. Being an Army-trained combat medic and a “biker chick” for over 30 years has had significant influence in her books, but even “ordinary” events have struck a chord or inspired a character or plot idea.
In 2018 Tracey returned to school to recertify as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and currently works at various sporting and music events when she’s not processing orders for the family business (Leader Motorcycle) or working at a substance abuse counseling center.
Tracey lives in small-town Minnesota with her husband, two kids, and two cats. They are a true “soccer family” (she even worked as a referee for two years). She enjoys downhill skiing and spending time at the family lake place.
After her messy break-up, the last thing grad student Riley Evans expects is to meet someone new. Throw in a family history of bad relationships, the likelihood of the past repeating itself seems inevitable—especially after her ex turns stalker. She’s a magnet for disaster. But when a man walks into the Coffee Hut and asks her on a date, she isn’t prepared for the flare of desire. The pull of attraction is impossible to deny, and she gives love a second chance.
Navy SEAL Xander Hale lands in a Hawaii military hospital after a mission gone wrong. If that wasn’t bad enough, his girlfriend breaks up with him. Plagued by his current single status and suspicions over the mission’s bad intel, doubts fester about the direction of his life. Until he stops for coffee and encounters a barista that steals his breath and shifts his priorities from a presumed military career path to civilian.
When danger closes in after a suspicious home invasion, Xander whisks Riley to the safety of his family’s island. On secluded shores, he’s determined to keep her safe. But dark memories are triggered by her past and followed by a hidden threat that neither anticipated.

This story was very enjoyable, although too short. Fiona, Lach, and Conner are all strong characters who are different in many ways but each with their own strengths. I thought that the author did a great job of giving you just a taste of each characters background and then bringing it all together. This author doesn’t put in a bunch of extra fluff words which I really like. I thought that Fiona was a strong female character who knew what she wanted and made it happen. The romance was very sweet and I could see all the characters from this book being in a full length novel and driving it remarkably well.
This was my first book by this author and I liked it. I think that the author did a great job of giving some of the backstory on each character and I thought she did a great job of introducing all of the characters. The first chapter had SO much emotion, feeling, and heartbreak that I was immediately drawn in to it, but the subsequent chapters felt like they were missing that same umf for ME, I imagine for many readers they will disagree with me and I encourage them to buy a copy and read it. I expected a little more to revolve around the MMA stuff, more fights, more details, but it seemed to just be thrown in to the middle of a love story. I appreciated that this author laid such great foundation and I think that she can really take all of these characters far with a little more depth. I fully intend to read other books by this author.

This is my first audio by this author and narrator and I thought it was a great one. I loved the angels and humans mix of it and it was entertaining and it kept me interested because I havent read a story about guardians before. The two main characters were great MC’s. They had alot going on and ALOT of baggage but I love the enemies to lovers aspect and I couldn’t put this one down. I am looking forward to reading/listening to more by this author and the same for the narrator too! Happy Listening!

Finders Reapers is part of the New Orleans Nocturnes series. It can be read as a standalone. I loved the premise of this book! It turned out to be a great read. One of my favorite expressions from the books is Holy Phantom Farts…cracked me up! There is a wonderful witty feel to this story that balances out the more serious parts. The characters in this book are really well written. I felt sorry for Jasmine, leading the lonely life of a necromancer. And, Asher, wants to love, but initially doesn’t want to make the sacrifice to have it. Finders Reapers features ghosts, magic, drama, suspense, and of course, romance.

Ah, I am in love with this series. This is the second book in the series, and I would highly suggest reading the books in order to get introductions to the characters and background on what is going on. I loved Delilah and Malakhi’s story but, I think I found a new love in Sheridan and Millicent. I wasn’t sure where this story was going to go, and when it is Millicent that is in trouble, I enjoyed watching Sheridan realize her feelings for her, and they weren’t just that of a one time fling. Meeting Sheridan’s mom and dad and seeing how they played a role was exciting, her dad seems like a good solid man so far, willing to help is daughter and her new found love. Her mom on the other hand, not so much. The twist with Miliicent, I did not see coming and it will be exciting to see how that changes her in the future. After this book, I really can’t wait to read Teivel & Oren’s story!

Evil’s Whisper is the first book in the Evil Saga series. The description of this book sounded interesting so I thought I’d give it a try. I liked the dark undertones to the story, but the format of the book made things a little choppy for me so I had a hard time sticking with it. The characters were awesome and I loved the premise. Since this is my first read by this author, it may just be that I need to get used to their format and writing style in order to fully immerse myself in the story. If you like epic fantasy with some adventure, give it a try and decide for yourself.

This is the second book in the Heartstrings series and I enjoyed this just as much as the first. The characters are well written. I especially loved Alice Robert’s young daughter. For someone so young she has a really faisty and determined personality and is set on helping her dad find love.
This story follows another of cupids helpers called Faida. After a life time of helping people find love and having to deal with cheaters and liers she has become as cold as icy and doesn’t actually believe love exists. So when she is sent on her next assignment she is expecting more of the same lies and deceit.
What she doesn’t expect is Robert Peters. Robert has had a bad experience in the past with relationships. After being hurt and cheated on he has closed his heart off to everyone apart from his little girl.
With the help of Robert’s daughter can Faida help break through Robert’s cold heart and show him what’s right in front of him? Can she thaw her own heart in the process?
