Written in the Stars: a heart warming and gripping story about adoption and finding birth parents by Angela Christina Archer is the second book in the Mothers and Daughters Collection. This is such an emotional story you cannot help but be swept away by what the author is portraying. In every single page you could feel the raw emotion and the incredible journey the main character goes through. At times I found this book to be utterly heart breaking only for it to then completely shift and be uplifting and delightful. This author does an amazing job of painting the picture of what it was like in the time this book is set. Even though it is hard to believe now that these situations occurred the author made it truly relatable and easy to imagine. Although this is only the second book in this series I have to say this is definitely my favourite one so far. It is hard to see how the author can top this but I am looking forward to finding out what is next.

Stripped (The Stripped Series Book 1) By Stacy-Deanne
This was a good read. There were definitely some interesting characters in this book. There are twists and turns, suspense, romance and more. As I was reading this story I realized that some of these characters were in another book and although I was able to follow this story very easily I wish I would have read the other book these characters were in so I had a better back story. I also wish I knew what happened between Dee and Grayson.This author kept me intrigued and entertained throughout the book. I look forward to reading more books in this series. I’m not sure how I feel about Jonathan and the woman that lives with him so I’m hoping to get to know more in the next book. I’m glad I decided to take a chance on this book.

Madeline and her husband Mike own and run the MDPI as well as a party-planning company called Current Events. Madeline and Mike attend an event at the home of Troy and Tara Richardson for their fifth wedding anniversary. After escaping from the party early, the couple gets a call from their former rival in the PI business, Russell Barnett. Russell asks them to take the lead in finding his nephew, Dylan, who has been missing for six days. After a short night of sleep, Madeline receives a phone call from Troy Richardson. His wife, Tara, has disappeared, and he wants them to help him find her.
There are 3 people that need to be found, Dylan and his girlfriend, Paige, and Tara Richardson. Trying to put the puzzle pieces together for both of these cases can really stress a couple out. It is not easy to handle one missing person’s case, but two at the same time is near impossible. Madeline’s curious attitude has her frantically trying to make sense of the disappearance of Dylan and his girlfriend while trying to bring her client’s wife home safely.

The God is Book two of the Her Three Immortal Series by Hazel Storm. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and can’t wait to read the third book! The men are described with perfection and the story itself is just great. Vanessa ends up in Hell, with Grey, but he doesn’t want her there. Little does she know the reason why until she keeps spending time, making friends, visiting relatives, and having a great adventure to save a life and keep her own. Raef is still in love with her and working on finding her lineage to see what is so interesting about her. Aroz is busy keeping his mom entertained on other people instead of Vanessa. A lot happens and it is all detailed so perfectly! Please read the Don, then this book, and onto the next! 🙂

Lucy Walker is back and her life is still settling down between her near death experiences and finding out she is half-witch and half-demon and dating a Gargoyle, how much more interesting does it need to be? However, one morning when she is rudely awoken in the early hours of the morning by her best friend texting her and telling her that she is the luckiest girl alive, she is in no mood for games in her sleep deprived state, but she is hoping that she didn’t see her and Marcus on the rooftop the night before, or how he returned her fast asleep to her bedroom later on. However, what she sees after reading it is even more disturbing, her father, Jude is standing in her room and demanding to meet her great-uncles and basically stonewalling her attempts to discourage it, but it is only when and her uncles ask about the car parked outside the house that her brain eventually catches up with what is going on, Jude has planned this all along and so she has no choice but to invite him in and when Marcus turns up at the same time, she has no choice but to have everyone there.
As breakfast is served and conversation haltingly proceeds, Marcus struggles to control his inner gargoyle and Jude tries to hypnotise her uncles, Lucy is torn between the two and tries to get the event over and done with as quickly as possible so they can continue with their days as normal, but when Marcus explains his real reason for coming, Lucy is disgusted and terrified at the prospect of what it means. A few days after the visit, Lucy is trying to convince her uncles that she is happy living with them and their current lives, what she can tell them of it all at least and that they have no worries about her running off with Jude any time soon, meanwhile, between her combat sessions with her dad, witchcraft lessons with her neighbour and babysitting for her friends siblings, Lucy and Marcus haven’t had much time to spend together and when Marcus’s mother suddenly turns up on their doorstep looking for him, Lucy is shocked to say the least.
When he asks Lucy to meet him on the roof later on, he looks miserable and Lucy has a feeling it is something to do with his mother and she was right, it turns out that she wants to reconnect, as does his father and they want him to go back to their home to meet the rest of the clan, so when he agrees to meet his father and wants Lucy to go with him, nervous as they both were, what happens while they are there and the truth behind their reason for visiting becomes clear, Marcus’s father want to kill Lucy’s and he will stop at nothing to do it, but the kicker is that if Jude dies, so will Lucy. Will they be able to keep both Jude and Lucy alive in between everything else, how will they do it and who can they call upon to help? As it becomes clear that danger is lurking around the corner, Lucy isn’t sure whether she can trust Marcus’s family knowing what she does and what would she do if he decides to go with them to visit the clan? This fantasy adventure is a rollercoaster of emotions and filled with action which will keep you hanging on until the end to find out what happens.

Wow this book….the story is raw, heart wrenching and at times I had to stop and catch my breath. This story is about Gianna who falls in love with a man named Ethan. What Gianna did not know was how Ethan was abusive and cruel. From the outside you would think they are the perfect couple but behind closed doors was a totally different story. Gianna finally flees from her abusive husband and ends up in NYC. She couldn’t believe she bumps into a many named Derek, a man she met on her wedding night as he was at the hotel as well staying for the night. Gianna learns from Derek how to possibly love again but with true caution. Gianna also learns how she can fight back. Ethan finds her again and is bitter. Will Gianna finally be free of Ethan after years of abuse? This story has definite triggers of abuse but also a trigger of stalking. Overall just another fantastic story from Author Dakota Willink. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So Close (Love Grows Series Book 4) by Renee Regent
4 out of 5 Stars
Dahlia Perez grew up thinking that Levi Vance was going to be her best friend for life. They had grown up together. He was her first crush. Dahlia had fought her desire for Levi for years because she didn’t want anything to interfere with their friendship. She had met and married another man, Trey. Trey betrayed Dahlia, betrayed their marriage vows. Levi watched it all happening. Dahlia decided that she was done with both of them. She walked out of Levi’s life 8 years ago. If it had not been for the limited interaction caused by trying to co-parent their son, Beckett, she would have been done with Trey, as well.
Dahlia’s promotion has put her at the forefront of a major project for her employer. How did Levi wind up as the contractor on this project? Levi believes it is fate, giving him another chance to make things right with Dahlia, to be together, or at the very least for her to stop hating him. Levi is going to give getting back Dahlia everything he has, if they can’t be together maybe they can once again be friends.
Renee Regent does an amazing job of creating the history and conflict of these characters. Friends, enemies, friends, possible lovers. The chemistry between Levi and Dahlia was palpable from the first time they were on the page together. Maybe it was the hate and anger rolling off Dahlia, but the pages singed my fingers!! I loved that Dahlia was a fierce momma bear for her son. Great read!! I hope that Trey is able to continue maturing to be a better father for Beckett.

This book was like a breath of fresh air when it comes to mysteries. Sarah Danger, a clairempath, works as a PI in-training for her friend’s, Jeff, agency. They take a case in Hawaii that involves a mystery virus that is spontaneously heating people up from the inside. They will be investigating what caused it; whether natural or supernatural. Once on the big island, Jeff has a minor heart attack which puts him on bed rest. This leaves Sarah to step up to lead investigator. She isn’t too sure but she does what needs to be done. With the help of the rest of the team, Sarah interviews the people involved and hikes the volcano park where the scene seemed to start. Needless to say, Volcano activity; Pele; cheating; revenge; and rituals are all part of the puzzle. A lot of puzzle solving with this one. Good book that leaves you thinking. Intriguing facts about Hawaii and Hilo. Highly recommend.

I was looking forward to this book and was not disappointed. Vanessa is now in the Underworld and abandoned by Grey in his penthouse. She becomes fast friends with the daughter of Medusa who helps her see her brother Piper, her mom, and Raef in the Overworld. Vanessa finds herself attracting the attention of gods, creatures, sons of gods, and many more. She is trying to save the life of a distant relative which causes many twists and turns all the while, trying to stay under the radar of the Queen of the Underworld. This is the one person she has been warned about. If you loved book one you will love the continuing story of Vanessa and Grey.

This was a fun romantic comedy which takes you in from the first page. The story is fast paced and keeps you guessing. The author does an amazing job with her characters making them relatable and likeable. You could actually imagine yourself in those situations or you know a friend who’s like that.

This book was a breath of fresh air. It was just the right amount of comedy, romance, and drama. It draws you in from the first chapter. It’s written so well with just the right amount of descriptions. The main character was so relatable and it wasn’t just fluff. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

While this is an enjoyable read I did struggle with it at times. It seems like I was thrown into the middle and I am missing information about things that happened. Delilah‘s whole story kind of threw me for a loop. She was captured, released and then she keeps running away from Christian. Why?? I am not sure why she would do that repeatedly. Maybe if we knew about her human side before she was turned that would give us some answers or her previous relationship with Christian. Also I don’t understand why she all of a sudden felt she needed to avenge herself, Christian and the other vampires. I would think being kidnapped and everything else that was done to her would make you more timid and wary and it would take a little bit before you would runoff on your own and face shifters, vampires and the Syndicate. Chriatian is so understandable to all her antics while trying to avenge her for himself.
There are a lot of characters in here, new and old. I enjoyed seeing the characters from the previous book..how they are doing and what powers they have come into. Loved that!
Vampire books are one of my favorites and I thought this would be an outstanding series. Sadly I can’t rate it quite that high. I feel like there needs to be more depth to the characters we just met, in the last few pages, or the next master (I don’t even have a connection to him to be excited to read his story). Sorry

This was a start in a new series for me, and I certainly got sucked in quickly with the novel and the characters. The book was so good I can not express. The story pulls you in, and holds you close, and you learn more about the characters and who they are, and you really feel for them. It was amazingly good!
Erin is the main female love interest in this book. She is a nurse and very caring as well as dutiful to her duties. She had secrets of her own, ones that only her heart knew best from all aspects. She goes day by day doing what she does best which is healing others, but what if a chance came for someone to heal her wombs’? Would she take a leap of faith or let the scars consume her?
Throw in a sexy bad boy named Ripper. He has had led quite the different life than Erin has. He has the I am better off on my own attitude, but yet he seems to feel incomplete. All changes for what he knows when these two souls interact. Ripper gets hurt, and he needs some tender loving care, and he just so happens to get this beautiful, kind hearted, and free spirited nurse named Erin.
Ripper feels something not possible. She was not what he normally would go after. Having an attraction for something real more than just a good time to feel good, is normally what he likes on his dinner plate. Erin feels something too, something she can not deny, but how? Why? Would they trust their feelings?
Ripper had nothing to give or so he felt. Yet he wanted her more than anything he ever thought he wanted or would want. He had past, that the law doesn’t speak very lightly on. He knows if Erin found out this would be the end of things he’s got going, and he knows tis a good thing….but is love really worth all this risk in the end? Things take a turn when their lives get aught in that fly swatter even more, when Erin funds out but not the way he wanted. With everything brought to light, the impossible had to be asked, is what they feel have, is it worth the pain and secrets of the past that made them who they were?
I really loved these two characters, especially when their secrets and pain were brought to the surface and they really opened up to one anther, and really allowed themselves to feel things they always wanted, but never felt inside their hearts, they truly deserved. They had found their safe haven truly, but with anything as beautiful as this love, they both knew they would have to work hard to keep it, other wise it would be gone and they would have the biggest regret ever of their lives upon them.
The author brought forth two beautiful characters, despite their scars they were beautiful in their own way. I really fell in love with them both and wanted them to get their happy ending. I will defiantly be reading the next one in this series. I can not wait to see what happens in the next book in the series!

This book is part of The Everyday Heroes World. This is a Contemporary Romance novel and is 177 pages in length. This story is about a second chance – my fav! This is about Charlie and Tank. Charlie had the picture-perfect life until a secret mistress showed up. Now she is back home, where she did not really want to go, but needed to start new. Her old one-night stand, Tank, lives there. She figures she could get along with him seeing how he is her brothers best friend. Not a chance.

Unbreakable is the first book in the Diamonds Series by Tee Smith. I had not previously read any of this author’s work but I was intrigued by the blurb and decided to give it a try. I’m very glad that I chose to read Unbreakable as I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series. As we as being the story of Ripper and Erin, we are introduced to the Diamonds and they type of operations that they run. Let’s just say it involves a lot of danger, drama and intrigue. Erin had returned home after a failed marriage to look after her sick mother. Her mother has now passed on and Erin is trying to get on with her life and look after her father who has found solace in the whisky bottle. Erin first meets Ripper when he attends the clinic she’s a nurse at to get a stab wound examined. He’s totally taken by the beautiful red headed nurse and over time tries to get close to her. I loved Erin and Ripper’s story. Not only do we have the romance story between them but there is so much going on with the Diamonds which bring a few surprises to the reader and causes Erin to re-evaluate her life. This is a really great read that had me gripped from the very beginning, right up to the very end. It’s full of danger and drama and will keep the reader entertained and not want to put the book down.

This is the second installment in The Girl and the Raven series and was just as good as the first one in my opinion. I loved how the author not only continued the stories but decided to dive into more complex stories as well with the introduction of new characters. Her ability to draw you into the story from the first page with her perfect characterizations and descriptions of the surrounding and what is occurring is phenomenal. That was one of the things I loved the most about the first book and she didn’t disappoint with this one. Once I start I can’t put it down until I reach the end which is what happened last night as well. I look forward to picking up where this left off with book three. If you are a fan of Twilight, adult, or teen, you will love this series. Pick it up!

Having read the first book and fallen in love with the different characters that JD Spero captured in the multi point of view telling in the first book I could not wait to read on to see what happened to them. I would recommend reading Boy on Hold first. The story takes place ten years after the conclusion of Boy on Hold and is told in similar multi character point of view. Tyler is released from rehab at the psychiatric ward, Hen is now 17 about to receive his inheritance from Sally Hubbard, and Marcella has moved the family to the Blue Palms Motel, her new business. An unfortunate event occurs at the Motel involving Marcella and this time Tyler is the only witness. The old saying “The past comes back to haunt us” rings true as Tyler is turned into a suspect due to his past. Marcella knows the truth, but proving her son innocent is not an easy task.
The book is well written and draws you in. I simply could not put the book down. The depth of the characters feels real allowing you to relate to them. Though they are fictional they could easily be real people with real struggles of today. JD Spero captures the struggles of mental illness, schizophrenia in this case, on both individual and the family in her books.

I just couldn’t put this book down! Pauline Gruber has brought back the gang with more characters you hate to love and love to hate and couldn’t wait to read about. I adore the chemistry between Lucy and Marcus as I couldn’t stop cheering them on! This book has taken me on quite the wild ride but I enjoyed every minute of it! I highly recommend this.

This story just keeps on getting better. Books two picks up where book one left off. The three friends have a strong friendship that help them go through all of the life and death situations. Will these three be able to save the world from the invaders? If you like danger, time-travel, and of course adventure, then you need to read this book. You should read the first book first to get to know characters and their back stories.

We are back with Lucy and her team of supernatural friends and family. Even if her father is a rude demon named Jude. Also, her wonderful uncles who I love so dearly.
This time around we meet Marcus’s family. Who we aren’t sure have the greatest of intentions at heart. Especially after learning they abandoned him at such a young age.
This book in the series is full of twists and turns and supernatural action. I am anxiously anticipating the next in this trio!

I sped through this book. This is the second in the series and literally picks up where the last one left off. I thought the first book had me hooked, the second one has me obsessed. I need the third one like yesterday. The plot focuses harder on Vanessa and Grey this go-round. I love how she is literally the only splash of color in his life. The only complaint that I have is that I read it so fast and now how to wait for the last book to be released.

Spooked By a Suspicion by Risa Nyman is the second book in the series that follows the adventures of Rocky. I really enjoyed the first book and so I was only too happy to see what he gets up to in this latest instalment. Rocky has been through quite a bit since we met him in the first book, he’s had to make quite a few major adjustments. But now his life is about to be up-ended once more when his mother announces that she will be getting married again. Rocky doesn’t like his prospective step-father and suspects that Ted is up to no good. When Rocky is setup for a crime he didn’t commit, he can’t help but feel that Ted is behind it all, and so Rocky sets out to investigate and prove himself innocent. What happens makes for a great read. An children’s adventure story with mystery, suspense, drama, and emotion. The story is aimed at tweenage children (9 – 13), but can also be enjoyed by older readers too, like me.

Hazard in Hawaii is the first book in the Doctor Danger Mystery series by Heather Silvio. This is such a fun little mystery which was all the more interesting with the use of paranormal and supernatural elements that were interwoven through it. I have read most of Ms. Silvio’s books now and know I can count on her to always deliver a story that will engross me from beginning to end- and this book was no different- in fact it’s taken the top spot as my favourite read from her, so far. I loved the characters, the intriguing story, and all the clever little touches that Ms. Silvio sprinkled throughout her story. So, if you love a cozy mystery, paranormal threads, a tropical paradise setting, and a fun plot then you really won’t want to miss this book.

This is the second book in this series and it was great! I love Lucy and Marcus together they really love each other and won’t let anyone or anything get in the way of it. Lucy is half witch and just wants to live her life as a teenage girl in Chicago with her friends but her dad Jude still seems to get in the way at every turn. She is starting her training whilst trying to juggle her school work, time with friends and being with Marcus but maybe it is all too much for one teenage witch? and now to top it off Marcus’s family have arrived and are shaking things up. Can’t wait for book 3.

I loved this book! As a cat lover myself, I have been to cafes with kitties roaming and I could just picture Ellie and the rest of the townspeople enjoying spending time with all the feline characters! Especially Templeton! The mystery aspect was very well written and kept me guessing and turning the pages to find out what would happen next! Can’t wait to read more in this series!

Island mystery with a sidekick of fun! What a fun ride. The mystery kept me guessing and the twists and turns kept me on my toes. I really enjoyed the blend of paranormal, mythology and cozy mystery. The characters were so quirky and really kept the story flowing along. The way that Sarah describes her empathic abilities and how she uses them was fascinating. I highly recommend this for teens and up.

I give Hanging Softly in the Night: A Detective Nick Larson Novel by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra, 5 stars.
This book was incredible. When I first started it, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. It kind of seemed like your typical jaded detective murder suspense. But the more I read, the more drawn in I was. There are so many angles with so much happening, and it is all woven together perfectly. I never knew what would happen next and was proved wrong so many times. That is a good thing to me, I love to be surprised in my books. The story is fascinating and relevant, the New York created here is just what you would expect in a crime novel set in modern day New York. It has a gritty feel to it, with lots of jaded people — both in law enforcement and the regular citizens. Yet there is plenty of heart to it. Detective Larson definitely feels — perhaps too much. But he also takes his job quite seriously. This has left him jaded and scarred, but you can see him grow and understand more about himself as the book goes on. I believe the characters are what really make this book. All of his co-workers and friends add so much to the story. I really hope to see more of them in future books. Then there are the people surrounding the tragedies themselves. Every single one is a possible suspect, and each one completely different from the other. The author leaves it wide open ad to what happened and why, letting us come to our own conclusions. For a murder mystery/suspense, that is crucial and it is done so well in this story.
If you are a fan of gritty detective novels, this book is for you. I loved it.

This book is great! Lots of police and homicide lingo. Very fast pace and enjoyable read. Author really knows how to engage her readers. Very descriptive and intense at times, I love how it gets all of your senses going at once.
