Blue Summer Part TwoBlue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second part of the Blue Summer books. This is a paranormal romance with some Sci-fi elements, mystery, and danger elements. The storyline is fun and interesting. This is a continuation of Lillie’s story. We left off and she was being kidnapped by the evil sorcerer. Lillie interacts with the Zayed. and we find out more and more about their culture. I highly recommend reading part 1 before diving into this book. It is a fun-loving steamy romance that is fast-paced and a great afternoon read.

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes (Kiss Me Series Book 1) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Heather Stanley

Dirty Kisses and Conflicting WishesDirty Kisses and Conflicting Wishes by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a quick read, was done in one sitting!! Was such an interesting romance story! I’ve read similar ones but never like this one. This is the first one in the Kiss Me series and I think is definitely worth reading. Would be a great beach/summer read. I do love the fake-relationship part but read too many stories with the misunderstandings that I can’t get behind them anymore. I am glad that it was not most of this book! Danielle Jacks is a new author to me, I was not disappointed! Will have to keep an eye out for her future books. If you want to find out what happens between Zoe and Damien and if their story ends happily definitely get a copy, will be worth it.

Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Mountains Wanted is definitely steamy and intended for those who are 18 and older.

Sociology professor Dr. Sarah Lynde is looking for a no strings attached hook up. She is a single mother raising a teenaged daughter and preteen son that are her first priority. She first sees Army First Sergent James McAllister in line at a sandwich shop then again at a Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell meeting. Normally Sarah doesn’t go for younger men, but there is something about this man that keeps her hanging on. Will she keep the feelings at bay and be able to only be friends with benefits or will she want something more?

James McAllister is on active duty ready to be deployed at anytime. Right now he is just looking to have some fun since he is young and not ready to settle down. Is Sarah the one that will make him want to settle down or is she a diversion on his road to the one?

I have read other titles by this author and love her writing style. I am looking forward to continuing Sarah and James’ story in book two.

Liam and Kendall are both attracted to each other but will not act on that attraction due to office dynamics. She is his assistant and he has a no dating coworkers rule . He will do nothing to jeopardize his goal of becoming a partner at his law firm. As much as you try to dislike Liam, you end up cheering for him to succeed. A death in the family and a large deposition have Kendall and Liam sharing living quarters for a week. I couldn’t stop listening as I wanted to know if sparks would fly or not. They are both so stubborn and say the wrong things constantly. If they act on their attraction it will be a miracle. Loved this audio book so much I listened to it in one day.

After years of emotional and physical abuse, can Patience live again but will her past be the key for her future.

Patience has come back to her home town but she is not prepare to see him, Duke left years ago but still holds a place in her heart. Why did he leave and can I trust him again especially with my heart.

This is the first book I have read by this author and was so drawn into this book from the first page to the last. I love the way the two main characters find each other after so long and with Patience’s history from her abusive husband makes her hard to trust but seeing Duke the old feelings start coming back, I loved the interaction and the story was well developed and written.

I can’t wait to read more books in this series and books by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sara Flemming was once a foster kid with penchant for running from her placement homes. All grown-up now, she chose to be a social worker for the same fostering agency that struggled to find her a home as a child. When a new young teen arrives on the scene, one with the same history of running as Sara, she seems to be the only one that can understand and get through to the girl. Circumstances collide to bring some childhood friends zooming back into her life, and Sara has to not only help her charge, but deal with unfinished business from the past.
This story is well written and easy-to-read. I enjoyed the pacing of the story and getting to know Sara and Rachael. It was sensitive to the topic of foster care while also being unflinching in the realities that can sometimes occur. A good read, give it a go.

What a great action-packed book! So much happened that at one point I looked down, figuring this must be near the end, and I was only 40% finished. Andy Brand is a teen who has the power of fire and thermonuclear energy on his side. After being kidnapped so that he can be used as a weapon, he starts to figure out just what he is capable of. His whole life he has been taught to “Conceal and Protect” his ability, so as not to be discovered. He and his Kind have been persecuted for their differences throughout time. But when faced with grave circumstances he has no choice but to test his powers. Some great depictions of space travel and what that could look like decades from now. Really engrossing, great characters, and a fast moving plot. Definitely recommend, I loved it.

Moonlit Kiss: A Venice Romanfe by Amy McKinley is part of the Moonlit Destination series. As with all of this authors books I absolutely loved this one. I engaged with the story straight away and fell in love with the characters. Their story just felt so romantic from the moment I started reading.

No matter which book I read by this author it never fails to entertain me entirely. This is a fantastic book and one I would highly recommend.

This book was impossible to put down. The characters are so intriguing and the storyline flows so nicely. Teagan has no idea how powerful she truly is and is only made stronger by the company that she keeps. I admit that I read these books out of order, but was pleasantly surprised that this read as a standalone just as well as a sequel to the original. I am sure that there were pieces that would have clicked better had I read them in order, but I was satisfied with the story itself and look forward to reading more from this author. If you haven’t read this yet, what are you waiting for?

Lighting the Path: Leaning into a Hopeful Future as a Special Needs Parent by Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon is a brilliant book that is not only emotional but also insightful. The author is a special needs parent and has used her experience to try and help others navigate the tough situation they face. I have never been in the position of those this book is aimed at and yet I still found myself drawn in by the author and her own journey.
I thought the book did a great job explaining everything in simple, easy to understand terms which I can imagine is something needed in the circumstance. As the author had been through this herself everything she was writing had a greater depth behind it. This is a brilliant book that I think is a really helpful tool and is definitely worth the reading time.

When she realizes she is missing a panel for her restoration job she turns to Sergio for help.

This author does a great job in descriptions that are understandable and easily done by another. I enjoyed how this book is written with heart and hope for a parent who feels stuck.

Wow….wow…wow, this story. Definitely a very good read. Chase and Allegra the chemistry no doubt is undeniable. Chase, leader of large organized crime family, at first I really loved his bad boy persona. I also admired Allegra’s strong character going to school to better herself in law. Then something happens that Chase loses his trust and Allegra betrays him. Chase is totally ruthless, but Allegra cannot stay away. Their relationship makes me want to shake them both! It is very intense for sure. This book is very good read and I recommend if you like bad boy, dark mafia books.

I really loved this at the beginning. I don’t believe I have ever read a book with a MC like Chase. He is proud of his opulent and indulgent life. Knowing he is above everyone/anything-can do whatever he wants and NO ONE can or will say a word about it. If they do its because they don’t know who he is…YET. Most characters who are like him have flaws to figure out but this guy is PROUD of everything. With that being said it lost some of its zest the further the story went. Then it just seemed to end. No resolution. The story became more about the relationship or whatever they have going on and less about his job and such. That led me to be disappointed in the story as I felt its really more erotica and not much else.

Courage of Us by Brooke May is book one of the Code of Honor series.

Patience and Duke have been best friends forever. Now they’ve graduated and Patience is sure nothing will tear them apart. She finally gets the nerve to tell Duke how she feels and things escalate from there. The next morning, Patience’s world falls out from under her when she wakes up to find Duke gone. Patience does the only thing she knows how to do and that is to keep moving forward as painful as that is. Seven years later, Patience doesn’t even recognize herself but she finally takes the steps to reclaim her life. As an unexpected surprise, Duke is back home and he is looking to make things right with Patience. Will Duke be able to convince Patience to hear him out? Is it too late for them?

I couldn’t put this book down! I really enjoyed it! I felt for Patience. She was just making the best out of a situation and it really spiraled out of control for her. I’m glad she was able to stand up for herself because so many people aren’t able to.

Tally and the Angel : Book One IndiaTally and the Angel : Book One India by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tally, a brave, strong and intelligent 13 year old, is devastated at the death of her mother. But when her father gives her a gift left behind for her, she discovers she’s received so much more than a pendant. Inside the pendant lives an angel! Tally sets off around the world with her father, angel in tow. But when she uncovers a kidnapping plot to take over India, she steps out of her comfort zone to save the children.

A great read, however, I do think some of the themes would be a little deep for children on the younger end of the target age range(8-12). I think some of the angel/demon/god talk might be confusing for the younger reader. I am looking forward to reading the 2nd installment. Tally is a loveable main character. 4/5 stars

This is the first book in The Stone Series.  This is an audio book and is just under 14 hours.  This story follows Krystina, a woman haunted by her past, and Alexander, a billionaire.  They both have secrets from their pasts that neither were willing to budge on.  Krystina is a witty firecracker; the complete opposite of what Alexander is accustomed to.  She is drawn to him, but she does not know why.  He has those “come hither” eyes.  I cannot wait for the rest of the series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m quite conflicted about Chased: A Cambridge Men Of Honor Novel. It was my first time reading any of this author’s work and I’m sure I will read more as overall I did enjoy the book although there are a few things that I did not like.
I really liked Allegra, the female lead character. I understand why she fell under the spell of Chase Benedict as he certainly knew how to put on the charm.
I like reading a dark romance and this certainly fits the bill. I did really like Felicity Brandon’s writing style. The story is well told and flows well, keeping the reader engaged.
One thing that I found different is that this is the first book that I have read that is set in Covid times. I really enjoyed reading a novel set in this time as it was a new experience and had expected authors not to write about this particular time.
I didn’t really get the impression of a mafia novel. Yes, Chase was an evil crime lord but I didn’t get a mafia vibe from the book.
One thing I just didn’t get at all was Chase giving Allegra 75 spanks, especially for a first spanking. Hey, I’m no expert on BDSM but that is much higher than in any other novel I have read and it seemed excessive.
Overall, I did enjoy the book and have given it 4 stars.

The sorcerer will stop at nothing in his quest fir the ultimate power. Lillie is a force to be reckoned with. She will not allow him to harm the ones she loves.

The story had some drama and action which flowed well. The author threw in a surprise that even I didn’t see coming. I’m usually good at figuring out things before they happen. Lots of points for that Ms. Taylor. This was a fun series to read.

Why was he taken and what do ‘they’ want? He will soon find himself in a high stakes situation that will test him on every level. What happens makes for quite a fun read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third in the wonderful series by T.S. Simons. Through ou the books I gotta say they get more and more intense and captivating.

The 1st book had me hooked no doubt. As the story contunues and engages its readers more down the rabbit hole we go.

I find I relate more and more as the story unfolds. And more of I think of our own world and the choices we make. In this book Cam has greatly been though a lot to say the least I found his grief very much relatable and at times it was truly heart wrenching I find the deeper he does down the rabbit hole for answers and for questions that need answers he seeks…they sometimes as it is in the real world are not what we want them to be, but just the opposite.

That kind of stuff hits home and truly makes me think. Its not often I find a book or series that makes me think of my own life or my choices I make and how it impacts me and those around me, But this series certainly does.

This series and especially this book I fudn it really dug deep into everything Cam had gone thru, is going thru, and had yet to undergo.

And as the story progesses I found Cam really wanted his answers so badly. But truly he was risking everything to get the answers. The friendships he maintained were all put on the line I found. And he made decisions that impacted literally everything around him.

Honestly, super captivating book. this is my favotite in the series so far. And me saying I cant wait for the next in the series to see the adventures, romance, and things Cam will face…is most certainly a understatment 🙂

Thank you again to this amazing author for a wonderful book series. Its defiently a book series I will not forget and it certainly has made an imprint on my heart 🙂

Twisted Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops #1) is the first in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series written by Amy McKinley, and it is the first book I have read by Amy, but it most certainly will not be my last!

This book was incredible! I am all for a good suspense novel, with some romance mixed in is a bonus, and this did not let me down! I felt like the characters were my friends and I was right there in the story with them! The twists and turns were some of the best I have read and it definitely goes to show this author knows her stuff when it comes to writing good, well-written novels!
The book follows Riley, who is a grad student a few weeks away from graduation working at a local coffee shop in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Xander who is a Navy SEAL who recently returned from a mission gone wrong. When he wanders into the same coffee shop that Riley works at, they have an instant connection. The only problem, she is not single.
Throughout the book, the 2 meet and Riley realizes that the relationship she is currently in is not what she thought it was and she ends it. But, when her ex does not agree, suspicious things start to happen.
As Xander and Riley build their relationship, Xander has his own mystery to figure out when it comes to his failed mission involving bad intel. As things get dangerous for Riley, Xander is determined to keep her safe by taking her to his family’s island, but is that enough? The only way you will find out is to read this fantastic book!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and it will not be the last book I read by this author! I am excited to read the second and third books in this series and find out what happens!
