Another hit for Amy McKinley! As soon as I saw she had a new release I knew I had to read!! I’m a sucker for mafia romance and she sure knows how to deliver. I was sucked in from the beginning and I couldn’t stop consuming this book! I’ve never been a HUGE fan of anything labeled “arranged marriage” and if anyone out there is like me- IGNORE that. It’s so much more. (Also- Max? Swoon worthy!) I won’t spoil anything but 👀🔥💖. (Sometimes I feel emojis express things better than my words can!) I’m excited for the next book! If y’all ain’t read her stuff yet- you’re behind the times! Get it! Onto the next 💖

This is an enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance with a second chance at love theme. Cassandra has a horse accident and her life literally flashes before her eyes and it’s the face of Rhett, her first loves that she sees. Their relationship ended badly five years ago and they have not seen each other since, but Cassandra hopes it’s not too late to try again. However, Rhett who was left in the small town they both grew up in when Cassandra left, still blames her for the end of their relationship, and for breaking his heart. Rhett has his hands full with a business to run, a mentally ageing father to care for and an estranged brother so the last thing he needs is a reminder of his painful past. So when Cassandra turns up and makes it clear that she has returned for him, Rhett has to rethink what he really wants and stop his pride from keeping them apart. When old disagreements and arguments resurface the couple discover a major revelation, that some of their problems were actually medical. This is a heartwarming and at times heartbreaking story which had me hooked from start to finish. The main characters, Cassandra and Rhett are both likeable and relatable and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. I was cheering them on and hoping that they would get their happy ever after.

There was so much in the book I don’t even know where to start. So we start with a funeral, which was not a surprise given the series is called Funerals and Weddings. The beloved coach is gone and “his” has come to pay their respect. What will happen when Rachel and Craig meet again? I laughed and cried through this book. Definitely will be reading the next book!

Saratoga Roan by Bree M. Lewandowski is an enjoyable second chance romance. I found this book to be quite a quick and easy read, perfect for getting lost in on a lazy afternoon. The characters are relatable which makes them easy to connect with. I wanted to find out more about them and see how things would turn out. I thought the author did a great job of creating an easy flow to the book. It was paced well and pushed forward in all the right places. This is a well written romance story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

A touching story of a rekindled love from a decade before. The bond between the two characters is so strong that nothing can keep them apart. Following them through their journey to re-discover what they once had pulls at the heart-strings. Although much happens to try and keep their happiness at bay…..everything happens for a reason. As you get caught up in their romance it’s hard to put down the book, you want to just know what happens next. Will they get their happily ever after? Or will it all be taken away?

Love’s Refrain: A Time Travel Romance by K.G. Fletcher is the first book in the Stardust Duet. This is an absolutely fantastic story that really captivated me. I really wasn’t sure that this is a book I woke enjoy. The description didn’t really grab my attention but because I know how good this authors work usually is I have it a try. And I am so glad that I did. I was blown away by the characters and their stories. I connected instantly with the tale the author was telling and everything in it. I read the book in the one sitting as I just had to see how it was all going to end. This is an amazing book and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler is a crime mystery book that everyone can sit up with.
In the FBI, there are no softball cases, especially if an agent gets filthy. Karina Cardinal’s Saturday is off to a fast start, and it’s not because of the HGTV home improvement marathon she’s watching. The FBI is knocking at her home, looking for a fugitive. As if she could simply conceal one in her small apartment. Particularly one by the name of Mike Finnegan. A few months ago, the two of them dubbed it Splitsville, but Mike? Accept a bribe of $1.2 million? No and no, respectively. Regardless of how much proof the feds claim to have.
When a strange burner phone appears in Karina’s pocket, she has no doubts about who put it there. Mike is deep underground and so far off the grid that he requires assistance in determining who is framing him and why. Karina does what she does best: she dives in with both feet, oblivious to the hazards. What’s the problem with leaping before looking? You have the option of landing on a planet of dirt. And if an old foe begins playing hardball, you may find yourself six feet beneath it.
I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more.

So I love me some mafia romances and this was no exception. This is a really good start to the series. I really enjoyed reading it. Loved the characters. Really liked Liliana, she was better then i expected her to be. Really liked Max! Action, tension and angst perfect mix of it all.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I have picked up from her. They are well written stories where the author’s use of details give her stories a realistic feel. This book is no different. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. This is the first book in this new series and what a great start. This is a story about time travel with a steamy hero. Kat is a jazz singer who is just finishing a tour when she meets a stranger who gifts her with a locket. This is where things start taking off. She finds a message in the locket and on top of that she stumbles upon a portal that takes her back in time. You will want to know what happens next. The characters are connectable and engaging. They brought the story to life on each page and kept me turning pages to the end. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story. I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it.

No Way Out by Amy McKinley was such a great read! It was so intense and filled with suspense I had a really hard time putting it down when it was time to go to sleep. This action-packed story will keep you interested throughout the whole book. You’ll be rooting from some characters, while dislike/hating others, and wondering about some more. I can’t wait to see what comes in the next book(s). I highly recommend you read this ASAP!

Let me be the first to say, I’ve never read a book with time travel in it. I was drawn to the synopsis of this book though and I was mesmerized. The story line was breathtakingly beautiful. I would be so upset for missing out on this book. Kat and Phillip will pull you into their beautiful story and you won’t want to leave. I look forward to the next books!!

Saratoga Roan by Bree M. Lewandowski. I loved this book. Its the story of Cassandra who broke up with Rhett 5 years ago. She didn’t handle it very well at all and Rhett was in a bad place when she did it. Now 5 years later she is walking back into his life like nothing ever happened. Rhett is trying to take care of his father who has Alzheimer’s which is very trying on all involved. Cassandra is having to face her past and trying to make things right with Rhett all at the same time. She is somewhat overwhelmed. Rhett is dealing with his dad and this horrible disease while trying to see if he can trust Cassandra again. Can he forgive her for leaving him before and trust she won’t do it again? This book had me all up in my feels. I was up late in the night flipping the pages! Loved this book so much!

I cannot praise Love’s Refrain enough! It was an absolutely spectacular read!! True love and true longing wrapped up in a beautiful musical bow. The angst can be intense at times but it is so worth the ending! It made me swoon. One of the best love stories I have ever read.

This a such a beautifully written romance. It captivated me from the beginning. The author does an amazing job of describing the scenes, the music, the clothes of the era that you actually feel like you are reliving it in the present.
This isn’t your usual romance, the time travel element makes the story of love all the more amazing and beautiful. The fact that Phillip has held onto his love for Kat for all these years is amazing.
When Kat meets Phillip she has no idea of the past they shared together until she is transpoted back to 1947 and the true story of her life and her love for Phillip is revealed.
It is an amazingly written story which has so many elements to it that make it unique but the one constant is that love can withstand any test of time.

Although this is the second book in the series, it it technically a standalone, although after reading this book, I wish I’d read book 1 first. This story keep me on the edge of my seat. Amy is a complex character having gone through so much, including the loss of her sister – and she is out to seek revenge for her death. There’s action, suspense, danger and romance. Amy is brought in to find out how drugs are being smuggled into a charity, and she is soon caught up in Henry’s world. I liked Amy, she was interesting to get to know, and Henry was very likeable- together they were a great match. This is a book that will pull you in from the beginning and keep you there until the end. This won’t be the last book I read from this series.

Saratoga Roan By Bree M. Lewandowski ☆☆☆☆☆ This is a full length ranch style romance. Complete with cowboys and horses. Families and those that drama have touched. Read how Rhett keeps the ranch alive, takes his brother and estranged ill father in. After making the necessary changes to accommodate his father. Rhett has some pretty hard trials to get through, but can it do it? Let’s not forget the beautiful Cassandra, the one that hurt him, well she is back as well. So read on to see if things will heat up or cool down for this couple. Bree M. Lewandowski is to thank for this contemporary romance. I love how this story quickly became a page turner. I could not put it down. Rhett and Cassandra play their part well in this story. The whole list of characters brings Saratoga Roan to life. The book was easy to follow, leaving your focus on the main characters. I look forward to the next Second Chance Romance. Well Done Bree M. Lewandowski! Well Done!

This is a great start to a new series. There is action, suspense, lots of twists and romance. Both main characters were interesting. Liliana was not the defenseless Mafia princess I thought she would be, she was a really strong lead and Max was a typical alpha male. Liliana’s father wants to use her as a pawn in his business, he allocates Max as her bodyguard, but Max soon realises he has feelings for her. Max has been sent in by her grandfather to try and protect her from her father, but what started as a job to get revenge turns into a women he just can’t walk away from. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and where the story took them. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. This story is what you would expect from Amy McKinley, so if you’ve loved her previous books, you’ll love this one too.

Right out the gate, it was apparent that some layers of the story were going to be pealed back and there were going to be a few plot twists. My eyes were wide open the whole time, as I knew I was going to be in for some surprises. The story did not disappoint! I love how these mafia women take no mess from any of the people in their lives. As the story developed, I was shook by some of the twists that happened throughout. Just when I thought the characters were in for some relaxation and happiness, BAM! Plot twist, edge of your seat action, and sweet vengeance. The romance was super cute as well, and in general, I don’t think I can find a single bad thing to say about this story. There is also some spice toward the later parts of the book (hooray!). I will most definitely be keeping my eyes open for the next in the series as I have a feeling this is only the beginning…

Swindler’s Revenge (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 5) by Ellen Butler. I LOVED this book. I read it in one sitting! Its the story of Karina Cardinal or KC to her friends.

Its the FBI and they are demanding to know where her ex boyfriend Mike is and she is trying to tell them she doesn’t know.

They are accusing him of embezzling millions of dollars and Karina knows he didn’t do that. While she is investigating she gets herself into problem after problem but that is just normal for Karina!

Dating the It Guy was a truly great YA romance read. It was one of those easy reads that’s equal parts sweet, touching, realistic, entertaining and at times heart-wrenching!
I loved how well this author realistically portrayed these young characters, it brought me back to when I was that age and dealing with boy troubles and finding a group of best friends to fit in with. It was a great trip down memory lane and I enjoyed following Emme’s journey.
Overall, this was a fantastic read and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

Love’s Refrain is the first book in The Stardust Duet By K.G Fletcher. This is something a little different to the other books of Ms. Fletcher’s that I have read, in that it is a time-travel romance- some of the elements may be a bit different but this has Ms. Fletcher’s distinctive style stamped all over it, as well as the musical connection that she loves to include in her stories. This story follows Kat Monroe, a jazz singer, who has returned to her hometown for the last performances of her latest tour. She may not live in the town anymore, but she feels that she ‘owes’ this to her fans, performing again ‘where it all began’. But she really isn’t prepared for what happens next. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she is gifted a mysterious locket, and then finds herself transported through time to 1947…. And through Ms. Fletcher’s clever and imaginative storytelling, the era comes to life through her wonderfully descriptive scene setting and attention to detail. What happens next held me completely captivated- I loved every minute of this wonderful story, and I really can’t wait to dive into the second book.

The Bow is Book three in the Her Three Immortals Series and Hazel Storm brought her A-game when she wrote it; this book did not disappoint!
I couldn’t wait to find out more about Arroz when he would come up in the other books, and boy was he worth the wait! I’d say he was the perfect addition to their sundae, but each of these men are meals in themselves!
The plot, as expected, was great and kept you involved and attentive the whole time. Perhaps a better word would be consumed, this whole series will consume all your time and attention-and you will be 100% OK with that. Hazel is an absolute pro at throwing in more twists to keep you on your toes.

I could literally write my own novel about how amazing and great this book was. It was so good and engaging from literally everything the book brought on. I am a die hard romance lover and this one really took the cake if you want my humble opinion! The love story that expanded through out the story was more than just a good time, it was truly remarkable and one you will not forget for sometime!
Kat and Phillip were more than jut a great love story, they had a story that needed to be told, despite and against all odds. Their love was beautiful and gripping in so many different ways. The things they had gone through and through out the hands of time was honestly one of the best love stories I have had the pleasure of reading in some time. I was moved in so many ways by their love and what they had to go through to be together as well as to add time now and time again! It was moving and emotional all at the same time. Their love is if you had it, I believe a lot of us would do exactly as they did to be together.
To say I was captivated as I read through this gripping beautiful story would easily be an understatement. I had more than a urge to find out what happened next, I literally was on the edge of my seat with suspense as well as my own hope hoping things would end positive for them, and they would bet= together even if the odds were or are against Kat and Phillip! For me, Phillip and Kat did not live for themselves, but rather for one another! If they did not have one another perhaps they would not consider their life worth living! Their love was endlessly beautiful across all and any distances of time!
This was a different love story, and one that I feel all of us should read! It truly captivated my truly and I was left wanting so much more when I came to competition of the book. I was moved truly in so many different ways, and I felt so much and more, it was wonderful to read a book really about the power of true love, and basically what we would do to even have a moment for that true love to be alive again in our souls, hearts, minds, and as well as our body! The book and how the author wrote the beautiful words they did, was more than a beautiful story. It truly is a love story I will happily always carry with me!

This is such an unexpected pleasant surprise. A brilliant piece of original writing that brings you into a world all of its own. Even though this has the basis of a classic fairytale, the author takes it to a whole new level. The depth of the character development just enriched the story and had me craving more. And the cover! How gorgeous is it? Highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2.

Where to begin? I love my female leads strong, sassy, and a bit of a black sheep. That’s exactly what we have here with Rowan, our Scarlet Princess, that has traveled beyond Lochlann borders into the land of Socair with her cousin Davin. From the sounds of it, these two are often finding and getting into trouble, though, perhaps not quite to this scale. When you wake to find yourself in a dungeon, perhaps one would put on their prettiest, most endearing smile and try to coax their captors into letting them go home, but not Rowan. She leaves quite the first impression, everywhere she goes! I was captivated by the end of the Prologue, not to mention the rest of the novel.
I fell in love with these authors writing style, Robin D. Mahle, and Elle Madison, have a talent that words, funny enough, can’t quite describe. The characters pop, you connect with not only the main characters, but feel the hardships that the villagers go through, and the different leadership styles of those that make up the Socair kingdoms. I had the pleasure of really putting some effort into how I pictured dear Lord Theodore, and was drooling, practically, as their relationship intensified. I will be biting my nails waiting for the next installment of The Lochlann Feuds to grace my kindle with its presence. Thank you for this wonderful adventure, have already recommended to my fellow ‘Outlander’ obsessed friends.

Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Amy Brennan
This amazing author did more than just a wonderful retelling of one of my personal favorite fairy tales. I found they made it even better! There was so much I loved about it in different ways, from things outside the castle, till more history of the Prince. It was beautifully written!
There was so much additions to this re telling and as I said, it made it even more wonderful! I loved how each character seemed to have their own story and how they contributed to another’s character story through out was more than fascinating! The character development and as well as learning and getting into each characters mind was a great take on it, and I really enjoyed that!
For me the biggest enjoyment was the creatures though. At the stroke of midnight all could be lost in more than one way, but could those who you hold dear pay the ultimate price? The creatures that stalked outside the castle gates made this a suspenseful take, and I was literally hooked as I read through this, and I need to read the next installment in this series as of well yesterday! I enjoyed it that much!
Again wonderfully written. It as well included many wonderful aspects to the characters and even the story line. To some may say the creatures brought the darkness to the land, perhaps it will truly be the characters that do so as the series goes on? I loved it truly. I am a big fairy tale fanatic so I took great happiness in reading this book. I defiantly am recommending reading this! It surely does not disappoint!

Morrow – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she blew my mind. I have not read a mystery story in a long time and I’m so happy I read this one. This is the first book in the Crawford Mystery series and it was a perfect book to start an addictive series. I started to read this book and I could not put it down. It only took me a little over a day to devour this story.
Lauren Besoner is finally ready to go home and start a new life. Her marriage fell apart and now she wants to start off as a new woman. Lauren gets a job that she is so excited for. She is the new stenographer in her hometown in Wyoming. Lauren doesn’t want any more drama in her life so she concentrates on her job. One morning she goes to pick up a judge that she is starting to like only to find her murdered in the house. Lauren doesn’t know what to do because she has answered all the questions but they keep on blaming her for a murder she did not do. She starts her own investigation but is she going to find the person before they find her?

It wasn’t the happy ending I was expecting but it was perfect. Emme and Brendon found out that being true to yourself was the best way to be there for each other.
Emme is a 15 year old girl that recently had gotten dumped in a harsh way by her older boyfriend. She is shy about starting to date again. When Brendon, the super hot senior, gets assigned as her partner in a summer class she didn’t even want to take, sparks start to fly. Emme and Brendon seem to have so much alike going on in their lives despite living in separate worlds. When all the trappings of high school start dragging on the couple, will Emme and Brendon make it?
The topics of loss, grief, family expectations are not just topics with which high schoolers deal. These topics affect us even as adults. The way Emme and Brendon figure out how to navigate the emotions is way beyond their years. The conversation between Emme and Brendon in the last chapter was heart-breaking but endearing all at the same time. The way the book ended was perfect! I hope that there is a part two in the works to know what happens next!!
