My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable “Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance” standalone novel by Jae Dawson. The author took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this story of Rose and Liam and their second chance at love journey. Set in Hartwood Falls, florist Rose is also an unofficial matchmaker and she has bought many couples together at her annual ‘Secret Valentines’. However Rose still thinks about her childhood sweetheart Liam who left town and left her. When cardiac surgeon Liam Bradley returns to Hartwood Falls when his career is at risk and his relationship in trouble he didn’t expect to find love especially not with the girl who he left a secret message for and never heard from again. This is a heartwarming story in which Rose and Liam have to confront their past and take a chance at love, and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ever after.

The Graceful Ghost by Eleanor Dixon – Review by Bobbi Wagner

THE GRACEFUL GHOST: A story for girls rich with authentic ballet school detail and sparkling with ghostly mischiefTHE GRACEFUL GHOST: A story for girls rich with authentic ballet school detail and sparkling with ghostly mischief by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It would be great for middle schoolers and I think they would find it entertaining. This is a well written story about a ghost named Grace. She has been haunting a house. Grace realizes her own passion when the house becomes a girl’s ballet school. Her fellow ghost friend Rodney and a girl who enrolls at the school are just the ones to help her achieve her passion. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with this little group. This is an engaging story that is fast paced and has some humor to it. It also takes on some emotional issues as well. I really enjoyed the characters and what they bring to the story. This was fun and entertaining to read.

I loved this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading since the first book I picked up by her. Her writing skills and attention to details make her books easy to read. This book is no different. It is full of action and twists and turns that will keep you guessing. This is a story about Officer Miriam. She is facing trouble when she faces her past and a serial killer. As the story goes on she starts to question her sanity and is schooled in a lesson of trust. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book. I loved Miriam’s character and what she brings to this story. She is a strong, well rounded character. She made the story engaging and a page turner. You don’t want to miss this one!

I enjoyed this romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her so far. This is a well developed story where the characters bring the story to life as well as off the charts chemistry. I had no problems connecting with the characters. They made the story engaging and easy to read. This is Sandra and Jacob’s story. After she meets Jacob, she realizes he is dangerous for her. Jacob can’t get her out of his head. Their story turns into a chase between them but does she want to get caught? What does fate have in store for them? I really enjoyed them and they certainly made the story entertaining for me. I highly recommend reading their story.

Crave is the first book I’ve read by this author but it certainly won’t be my last! This is the first book in the Clark family series and what a great start it is. From the very first chapter I was hooked! Sandra and Jacob’s story is captivating, addictive, intense, romantic and oh so steamy! A real page turner through and through!

I enjoyed all of the detail that this author wrote with as it made it so easy for me to picture everything playing out in my mind which kept me entertained the whole time.

If you’re looking for a romance novel filled with steamy scenes and the perfect amount of drama look no further this is the book for you! I am very much so looking forward to reading more from this author asap!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentines Day Romance by Jae Dawson is a novel in the Hartwood Holiday Romance series. This book is a sweet and enjoyable story with some really great ideas. The whole premise of the book was fun and lighthearted – I liked everything Rose was trying to do and there were some great ideas there. I had such high expectations from this book after reading the first and unfortunately I didn’t find it to be quite as good. I found these characters a little harder to connect with. However the overall book was definitely enjoyable and worth reading as part of the series. I love the absolutely stunning covers this author seems to have on each of their books – they alone would draw me into the book as they are so striking. The author has a strong writing style and the book had a good pace to it. Although this was not quite what I had hoped for I am still very much looking forward to the next book in the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dance of Hearts by Byrd Nash was a great read! I went into this novel having some idea of what to expect, as it was a retelling of the classic story Cinderella, but it completely blew away my expectations! I definitely wasn’t expecting what I got. And it was such a quick read as well, I finished it before I even realized I was close to finishing it! I wasn’t expecting it to be in a historical setting, and I really enjoyed that. It was very different from the classic tale, but so good! I loved the fairy lore involved in the retelling, and the romance as well. I’m so glad I picked this novel up to read. I can’t wait to read the next retelling!

Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett

5 out of 5 stars

I have read quite a few books written by Ms. Mellett and I think Stormy is my favorite out of all her Satan Devils MC. The characters are amazing and I love the way they play off from each other and their quirks.

Stormy is a tough cookie to crack. He has had a tuff life growing up with physical and emotional abuse from his father. Then at eighteen he has big decisions to make and after one mistake he loses everything he doesn’t know what to do with himself then comes Satan Devils he has finally found his place but, can he hold it or will he screw up again.

We saw in Roads book that Stormy wasn’t a team player and he brought the mother chapter to Utah and there are repercussions. Stormy leaves but where does he go?
With Stormy gone know one knows if he is alive or dead will he come back or is he gone for good? You really need to read this book to find out what is ticking in Stormy’s head/heart……

Ms. Mellett did an awesome job writing about Stormy and I can’t wait to see what she has in-stored for us….

Heartbeats and Roses (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson – Review by Angela Hayes

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine's Day Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance)Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance by Jae Dawson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

 

Heartbeats and Roses: A Small Town Valentine’s Day Romance (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson is a sweet contemporary romance. I was drawn to the book by the beautiful cover which oozes romance. The story is not only romantic, but is also about second chances, forgiveness, taking a chance on love, and finding love unexpectedly- with a small town atmosphere, some misunderstandings, secret messages, humour, and all set around Valentine’s Day.
Rose is your quintessential romantic- and matchmaking is her game, for everyone else it seems, but not herself. Liam is a surgeon who has returned to his hometown to try and regroup after a few setbacks. But fate might have its own plan.
I really wanted to love this book so hard, and I really tried. The story was sweet, and the potential was there- but unfortunately, I just couldn’t connect with the characters- which made it difficult to invest in them and their story. It just didn’t blow me away like I had hoped it would, and maybe that is my fault for having too high an expectation. Maybe I will have better luck with the next book in the series.

Thank you, Jae Dawson!

Murder at Lolly Beach: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen is a cozy mystery story. Don’t let this story fool you. Just when you thought you have everything worked out you find out that you do not. Jane completely turns you around. What seemed to be a simple murder turns out to be something a little darker and a bit more sinister. Jane has cleverly woven a web of lies and deceit and finely tuned a well thought out plot.

A vacation has never looked so dangerous.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Kayla Octaviano

Three Stars Review

This book took me by surprise. I was expecting a cliché vampire society, a self-absorbed woman, and a ridiculous romance that came to pass in obvious ways. I was surprised by how wonderful this book was. It made me laugh. The narrators accents are hilarious and fit the story perfectly. I love the location of the story, it fits it so well, it feels like this story wouldn’t belong anywhere else. The romance was slow to come, but the passion was present from the beginning. Honestly, the pop culture references made me laugh the hardest. The characters are kind of eccentric, but they end up meshing together well. The best relationships are formed between complete opposite people. And the supernatural element is portrayed from a new point of view with new rules. Very clever.

One of my favorite fairy tales is Cinderella. Byrd Nash has a unique vision for his Cinderella. I was sucked right into the story that takes place in Historical England. Melinda has been in charge of her family estate. Oh did I mention that it was left to her cousin who is treating her like Cinderella? The plotline has secrets, twists and turns, and some surprises along the way. Will Melinda stay being a Cinderella forever? Does Melinda have a plan to get back at the cousin? I highly recommend reading this story especially if you love Cinderella.

Oh I am so going to love this series! I have loved Amy McKinley’s writing before and especially loved her Gray Ghost Series so when I discovered this is a spin off type series of that I knew I needed to get my hands on it and I needed it NOW. I was so not disappointed and loved every moment I spent reading Twisted Secrets, the first of her Deadly Isles Special Ops series. This is one heck of a suspenseful ride as you read bringing the drama and smexy sizzle to the underlying storylines that will keep you wanting more, more, more. I really loved following along and the story that we got with Xander and Riley. These two bring the heat and the suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat trying to figure things out as you go. I loved and hated the way this ended… mostly because I wanted more lol. I am anxious to get my hands on the next book in the series soon! This is one you do not want to miss!

The Longest RunThe Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Longest Run is the fourth book in Tracey Cramer-Kelly’s Lawson Family series. I have enjoyed each of the books up to this one so it was a no brainer to one click and see what this would bring us. I have to say though this was a difficult read for me. I wanted too much to love these characters and really I found myself irritated with Carly. I get secrets and how this would impact your life but the way the whole scenario played out it made me a bit angry at times. I wanted to yell at her that she didn’t have to let this ruin her life or future and that she needed to seek women who had been in her situation with a more open and even ground of advice. This got religious and I struggle with that in general. I did enjoy this as a concept and could see where it would have been a smashing success to pull people in and make them feel as if they are not alone. It didn’t and I even left feeling guilty at times. So I will be back for more but I must say this one just hit the mark for me and made me a tad sad. I also feel as if this book needed a trigger warning and that is a rare thing for me because I find them becoming a bit overplayed lately.

The Longest Run: A Ski Patrol Rescue Romance by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is the fourth book in the Lawson Family series. This is an emotional story, full of highs and lows.

This book has got to be my favourite in the series so far. It is so well written that you will have no issues being drawn into the story. This is the kind of book that I really wish didn’t have to end and yet I couldn’t stop myself from reading it so quickly as I just had to see how it was all going to turn out.

Manda, Manda, Manda! You never cease to impress! I have loved Manda’s work since i picked up the first book i read of hers! This go around, We meet stormy, a man who earned his name honestly and definitely upholds it. I have been with this series all the way back to book one, and not once has Manda let me down. This book, like all of her other work, is just phenomenal. She will capture and hold your attention from start to finish, with a perfectly paced story thats full to the brim with her talent, so much so it will literally suck you in, immersing you completely in the world she’s created. Having met Stormy previously, i wasn’t too keen on him as i began reading this book, but slowly but surely, Stormy himself, and, of course, Manda changed my mind. I had never once read a MC book before i picked up the box set from the very, and i mean very, talented Manda Mellet. Suffice to say, i’ve read every book of Manda’s i could get my hands on since! I definitely reccomend this book, as well as the rest of Manda’s work!

Kells is an expert storyteller when it comes to weaving romance and suspense. Hearing the book come to life with Price’s narration took it to a new level. I really appreciated hearing the emotional behind the story and felt the narrator did a good job in conveying the author’s intent. Recommended book and audio recording.
