This story was fabulous. The backstory for the main character was heartbreaking and made me hurt for her. The way she wrote the secondary characters made me feel like I knew them all, and made me want to be a part of their life. The suspense and romance were seamlessly intertwined and really showed their relationship as so authentic. She did such an amazing job with all the characters, but especially with the internal conflict of the main character. She had so much going on in her mind and was so independent, but knew she needed help and was okay asking for it from someone she knew she could trust. Their relationship was so sweet but so realistic and they’re the type of couple that would be relentlessly teased (good-naturedly) about how cute they are.

What a great book! And the illustrations, blew me away! So bright and vibrant my kids loved to see all the animals. The story itself is a great message too, we could all use a reminder to be better about leaving places we visit better than when we arrived and to keep it clean and green for future generations.

The Don (Her Three Immortals Book 1) By Hazel Storm
This was a great read. This book grabbed my attention from the start and I didn’t put it down until I finished reading it. Vanessa is trying everything she can to help her brother Piper, who is very sick. Vanessa has a big heart, she’s intelligent, genuinely sweet and a hard worker. I found her to be relatable and I kept rooting for her and her family. The fact that there are three attractive men in this story helps a lot. They are half brothers and each have their own powers. I enjoyed the author’s take on mythology, I found this story original and intriguing. This is rich in detail and the author left us wanting more. We get to know Grey and Raef in this book but we don’t know much about Aroz, so I’m hoping to get to know him more in the next book. I can’t wait to read the next book to see where the author takes us. I recommend reading this book.

Moonlit Kiss is my sixth novel by Amy McKinley and it is absolutely the most unique!
It takes place in the magical city of Venice where Gianna took a job to refresh artwork on the side of a home in the city. Little does Gianna know that she is already connected to the city in a way that she likely never could have imagined.
Sergio happens upon an American woman at a cafe in town and knows that that moment is life changing for him as well.
Both Gianna and Sergio feel a pull for each other that is hard to understand, but life is funny that way and all these things that happen to them, ultimately bring them closer together.
This story was truly unqiue and so romantic, tragic, and full of emotion!

This novella packed a lot of feelings in it! Moonlit Whisper follows Fiona and her being caught between the man that was there when she was at her lowest and the love of her life that left.
What happens when Connor comes back and stirs up all those feelings that never truly left, that are just buried? Will the jealously between all parties break apart everyrhing?
This was a super quick read, but I loved the writing and how complete the story felt for a novella. Nicely done!

Moonlight Mirage by Amy McKinley is a quick but intense read. It starts with Cade and Nadia meeting under the strangest circumstances and fate bringing them together again years later.
Both hold secrets, Nadia having to do with her job and her up upbringing, Cade with who his family is. Even though they have this unexplainable connection, can they get passed the past to make a go of it?
I was interested in this story from page one and for such a short novel, it certainly packed a punch with a major twist! What a read!

Moonlit Kiss is the second book in the Moonlit Destination series. It can be read as a standalone. I loved the paranormal aspects of this book and the connections to past and present. There was an air of mystery about the book, but not in the traditional sense. It was definitely an intriguing read. I also enjoyed the fact that despite their immediate connection, the interaction between the two main characters didn’t feel like insta-love. I liked the overall feel of this book in a way that I can’t quite put into words.

Being a die-hard SOA fan, I had to read this one. Sophie went through an immense struggle. Going from leading an independent life to having it shattered in one day and having to learn to be independent all over again takes so much. Who could blame her for having a pity party? The shock of Horse kicking down her front door after he hears her crash trying to get to the front door would be a huge shocker too. I don’t know about anyone else but sexy MC don’t come kicking my door in. I had thought maybe Horse and Sophie were going to hook up but the story comes with a few twists you never quite see coming. Horse gets her to Arizona in the good old USA to hide out with Satan’s Devil’s. He leaves to go do the jobs painting motorcycles that he his hired to do. Wraith, another sexy MC, ends up falling for her and taking her under his wing. The whole club protects her when they see the video of what happened. Those that don’t end up ant food. With the help of Peg, she gains confidence to be independent without the wheelchair. She also begins to fit in with the MC, which surprises all. The characters felt so realistic. You felt the emotions with the characters in the story. If someone died, you felt it., etc. Best MC book series I’ve read.

Another great start to the story. Gets you right on edge. Hannah on a mission, is it going to be him who rescue her or not. It’s exciting, dramatic and intriguing I really enjoyed the aspect of Russian agent as well. So many twist and turns you are chattering your teeth throughout. This book has alot of major flare or it. Fast paced action and high stakes make for an exciting read. I hope Amy does more for this series.

I love Amy Mckinley, I love how she creates her stories. Xander and Riley from book one, Jaxon and Kayla from book two and now Tyler and Malina in book three. They are perfect for each other. Forged by secrets is the third installment of the Deadly Isles Special Ops series. It’s so good, I couldn’t put it down. It has Romance, betrayal, and danger.

Xander is a Navy seal and is the brother of Jaxon (Book 2) and Tyler (Book 3). Xander gets hurt and ends up in the hospital. He meets Riley and together the go through an ex, finishing school, danger and more. I truly enjoy the story it great!! I’m so glad I read it.

Well, well, well! If you like to be teased, with pleasure, this is a great listen! Deliciously Sinful Liaisons is a grouping of Mountford’s books that includes a handful of chapters, from 7 of his steamy romance books. I enjoyed the narrator’s voice and it made for an easy and sensual listen. The stories ranged from vampire lust to “the babysitter” to mafia alluring seductiveness. Listening to this book will give you great characters, twisted story lines, wrapped in delicious sensations of sexiness. There truly are not enough synonyms to use for this fascinating read. I have never read one of his books before, but now that he has left me hot and bothered, I am a hooked reader.

This was a very sweet story about a bird that is trying to help save all of the bird species from extinction. This book gives children some perspective on the need to save our planet for future generations and keep our animal populations alive at all costs. Mornin begins his journey when he comes across statues of birds that no longer exist and the possibility of his own species becoming extinct becomes very real for him. With the help of his friends and family he is able to bring awareness to the situation and get his word out. This is a great read for young children.

Surprised would be an understatement! I elected to pick this novel up mainly for the steamy synopsis, and the want to get down and dirty with my next read, and, seemed like the premise would make for an easy read. I was right about one of those things. This book is full of steamy, surprising encounters, which truly does keep you on your toes, and leave you wanting to know more about each of the brothers. Of course, Mr. Fox piqued my interest, given his personality, the way he showed how much he cared for Vanessa, and her brother Piper, and his overall wanton to help. Grey keeps you quite intrigued, as he pulls the mysterious card, and plays that quite well. You can tell he also has a big heart, but due to his problem with excess, he keeps that hidden behind locked walls. This first book in Her Three Immortals series really got me out of my comfort zone in the way of genre’s, and I am very excited to start her second novel in the series. I can’t imagine what kind of hell Vanessa will bring to, well, Hell! Amazing job, Hazel Storm, well done. Highly recommend!

House in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall a thrilling five-star read.

Carnival of Shadows by Leslie Scott a fairground read of a four-star read. This is number two in the Black Water Magic series, and I hadn’t realised before I started this one and I didn’t feel like I missed anything, you took off running and got straight in. Teagan wasn’t someone I warmed to so much, but as the story progressed, I started to really like her, and get to know her better. It’s a very good paranormal story and I have really enjoyed this story. There are lots of elements to this story that get pulled together, and they all pull together to create a good story, there were just a couple of small elements that made me wonder.

From the very first page I was swept away by everything that was Moonlit Kiss by Amy McKinley. The story was captivating and a feeling enhancing marvel. With an original storyline, beguiling characters, mysterious magic and a fairy tale love, Moonlit Kiss was breathtaking. The intimacy Gianna and Sergio shared gave me shivers. Their beginning, middle and ending was so beautifully written, it was like being given a great gift. These types of stories are always so masterfully thought out and presented, and only the elite storytellers can capture an audience to the point of oblivion. Amy McKinley has it going on!!!!! A hard to put down, easy to escape into romance that will render you speechless and leave you with powerful memories. 5 stars.

Tangled Roots: Witches of Willow Creek is the first book in the Tangled Magic series by Denise D. Young. This is a great paranormal romance with a small town setting, time travel, witches, magic, danger, adventure, drama, agendas, and much more. I have come into this series a bit backwards, having started on book #2 first, but each story could be read as a standalone, with out feeling lost or like you are ‘missing’ anything. Having said that, I am glad that I went back to read this first book- as it really does set the series off to a great start. Cassie Gearhart wakes up in 2019- what happened to the last 45 years? She is determined to find out what happened in the ‘missing’ time. Her coven is gone- and the only potential help she can find doesn’t want anything to do with witchcraft and magic. What will happen- especially with danger approaching? What ensues makes for a fantastic story about a witch lost in time. Can’t wait to continue the series.

Competing With the Star is the second book in the Star series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. It follows on from the first book, Next Door to a Star- so I recommend reading that book before starting on this one. It will give you all the background information, character introductions, and other important information which will enhance your reading experience of this book. Something Ms. Hager does well is write from a teenage perspective- delving into all the issues, drama, and angst that plague our teenage years. But her story is also full of emotion, young love, heartache, jealousy, betrayal, assumptions, insecurities, rumours, and friendship- giving us a window into high school life. Hadley Daniels ‘perfect’ life is about to get a bit of a shake-up…. Life in Grand Haven seemed to be the answer to all her prayers- so what could possibly go wrong? Dive in to find out.

The Rise Of Manifesto The Great: A Sci Fi Comedy Where Women Wear The Trousers (Planet Hy Man #1) by Kerrie Noor makes for quite an original read. It is a Sci-fi romantic comedy- a battle of the sexes set on the planet Hy Man. It is quite spoofy and satirical- which did make for some humorous moments. But I found it all a little overdone- and because of that I had trouble connecting with the story and the characters. I spent a lot of the story frustrated with the whole spoofyness. Maybe that is because I have just come from reading a dark detective series, so I will give this book the benefit of doubt and go back to reread it in a month or two, to see if I still feel the same way. I would like to explore more of Ms. Noor’s work to get a better feel of her style and what else she has done, so stay tuned.

House In The Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall is a tightly woven and very engrossing mystery jam-packed full of suspense. As expected, Ms. Aiken-Hall completely captured my attention- keeping me glued to the pages, avidly reading along to find out what happens.

I’ve given this club more years of my life than I care to remember, most recently giving them my all as sergeant-at-arms. My life is settled and just the way I like it. I’m too old to change now.
I’ve never had a woman to call my own, nor fathered kids, and never felt I missed out. My brothers sometimes joke my motorcycle is my old lady, and I can’t argue.
So when a photographer wants to feature my baby I can’t resist showing her off. It should have been simple, instead it brought complications that I never dreamed off.
Mary
I’m a frazzled single mom of a seventeen-year-old girl whose life seems to revolve around challenging me. She’s not quite adult, but doesn’t see herself as a child, constantly pushing at boundaries.
I spend my time trying to keep one step ahead of her, but if I give an inch, she takes a mile. Her latest endeavour? To model for a perfect stranger. Oh, the battles when I said she wasn’t going without me as chaperone.
I was right, something was off about the situation, but what it was took a while to emerge. I can’t imagine how I’d have coped if it hadn’t been for the gruff biker called Grumbler.
Note: This book is dark in places and may contain triggers.
Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?
There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit.

Aiden Mercer’s summer has been interesting—if by interesting you mean life-threatening and heartbreaking that is. With fall fast approaching, he’s looking for a quiet time in the arms of his boyfriend, Naël, the handsome merman.
Alas, life never quite goes the way you plan it, does it? Unless Aiden finds a way to stop the wicked god Baburaj and his mother, Jhanvi from achieving their devilish goals, pain and destruction will hover over him like a starving vulture.
In the third and final book in the Of Magic & Scales series, the familiar cast of zany but lovable characters is back, and they are bringing reinforcements for what promises to be an epic and sexy ending. Join Aiden, Naël, and their circle of magical friends in their final adventure.

The Divine Devils is the first book in The Divine Devils series by R. Weir. This is a fantastic crime thriller- with plenty of mystery, suspense, danger, hidden agendas, investigation, intrigue, tension, violence, and action. I love Mr. Weir’s Jarvis Mann Detective series, so when I saw that he had written a new book, and it’s the start of a brilliant new series, I couldn’t one-click fast enough. I also love that Hunter is quite different to Jarvis (from Mr. Weir’s Jarvis Mann Detective series)- bringing his own complexities, quirks and flaws to this new series. I was completely invested in the story, and the characters, right from the beginning- following along trying to figure everything out as the story unravelled. Hunter Divine is a former US Marshall who comes with a lot of baggage. He moves from job to job, pay check to pay check, trying to forget the past- but not able to truly move on; self-medicating with sex and alcohol as a means to try to get by. He is definitely a little broken- but remains great at his job. So, when a former lover contacts him with an urgent request, he can’t say no. Her children have been targeted by kidnappers who have struck twice now- the children barely escaping the latest attempt. Hunter will need to dig deep and use all his skill and training in order to keep the children safe and figure out who is behind the kidnapping plots, and why the children were targeted in the first place. So, buckle up, and get set for a thrilling ride. I know I keep saying this, but Mr. Weir has out done himself yet again! This is such a superb story that held me in its grip from beginning to end. It is a complex and multi-layered storyline, resulting in quite a gripping tale. I think it’s definitely one of the top three reads of his, so far! Bring on Book#2! Brilliant!

Amy McKinley has stolen my heart again with this book! She always writes with such beautiful detail it feels like You’re right there in Italy with them. The story between Gianna and Sergio was the very definition of romance, and the way she was able to bring the past and present together was very well done! I had so much fun in this book and I’ll always be on the look out for her others!

Set in Stone by Dakota Willink is the 3rd book in The Stone Series. I love the the story and the characters are well written. Both Alexander and Krystina seem to have it all but we find out that things aren’t quite right between them. Both of them are hiding some secrets from their past. Will the secrets destroy their relationship or will they work through it? The story has romance, suspense, a bit of intrigue, and some steamy scenes. The most unfortunate part for me is that I did not read the first two books in this series. It took me a little while to get a feel for Alexander and Krystina’s relationship but overall I really enjoyed the book. I will be checking out the fist two books very soon!
Lacy Laurel and Jeffrey Kafer are the narrators of this audio book. They both did a wonderful job keeping the different characters easy to recognize and understand. The book is written so we are treated to both Alexander and Krystina’s side of the story. The wonderful narration made this book extra a special!
