Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes, this author has created a love story that can be described as a dream come true.
The main characters are a perfect match.
The moral of the story is not just love but it is stay humble.
How would you feel if you were paid to fake a relationship?
All your worries also disappear.
This was a mix of the movie 365 days with Beauty and the Beast.
It is always great to see a happy ending.
Quite long story but it is a definite page turner.
Both dreams come true for one million dollars.
The death aspect hit me quite hard but Caspian as the main male character created a world of redemption.
This was very well written and I am excited to read the rest of this series.
This author never disappoints.
Five stars for book one, a good clean romance with an amazing fresh plot.
The development of this romance is unmatched.

This is my first time reading a book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. She’s now on my watch list and I’ll be looking for all of the other novels! This book had a great plot and it was a fun read. I finished it in about a day. The biggest selling feature was the character development. The characters were written in a way that was so realistic; their strength and weaknesses felt relatable

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider – Review by Beth McKitrick

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is definitely a unique take on the old “magic user” trope. I liked the concept a lot, and it definitely checked the boxes for a good fantasy/adventure novel. However, the writing wasn’t necessarily my style. It’s not bad by any means, it’s just a bit much for someone who prefers fluffy reads – the whole thing gives me a sort of Game of Thrones vibe (which is a very popular series, just not my thing). The characters were complex and interesting and I thought it was a good story that started out a bit slow. I saw some people didn’t finish the book but I think if you push past the beginning, it gets more enjoyable. Definitely will be interested to see where the next book takes us!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the start.

Caspian visits his dying uncle in the hospital where he is given an ultimatum, marry or he could risk losing the company that he has worked so hard for.
Paisley is visiting her mother at the hospital where she has been in a coma for months. She is lost and doesn’t know how she is going to pay for further care.

These two literally run into each other at the hospital. There is something familiar about the woman, when he gets a closer look he realizes who she is. While having coffee with Caspian he offers her something that seems too good to be true, could she really do it?

Will Caspians plan work? Will he be able to keep his heart out of it or fall for Paisley?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Although I didn’t care for the mean girls and how Caspians uncle treated Paisley. If you’re looking for a great romance with great characters this is the book for you. I really liked these two as a couple. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An emotional must read. I knew I had to read this one after reading the first book. I recommend reading Come Back Tomorrow before diving into this one. This book is the continuation of Will and Tori’s relationship and Will’s fight to beat cancer. In this book there are definitely challenges as Will fights for his life and Tori is there with him and for him. Although there is sadness and heartache in this story there is also hope, love, romance, friendship, and family. I found myself completely invested in their lives and had to read this book in one sitting. I am so glad that we got to see how Will and Tori’s relationship grew as they lived outside of the hospital. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Dealing with her husbands death, hostility to others, depression, and being ostracized by her department she has the odds against her. When she is newly partnered with Detective Xavier Knight things turn a bit romantic but are also fueled with suspense.

As these 2 team up together they are risking life and limb to solve this case, but also finding that there is more to their relationship along the way.

This book was a great thriller. There were many twists and turns that you could not, and did not see coming in this story. There were also a lot of emotions attached to this book. Both main characters had a lot to overcome and you could feel a lot of the sadness from both ends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great story! My 8 year old was the most captivated by this. And she says all the time, “I might be having a bad day but doesnt mean I have to make others have one too”. She always tries to find the better part of a problem than dwell on the bad parts. And that struck a chord with her in this book. Great story and loved the pictures and would have loved more!

“Diabolical Sword” wasn’t my favorite as it seemed to take too long for there to be what felt like real peril for the main character.  I’m used to reading books that are extremely fast paced from page one.

I did really enjoy the premise of the book. Everything was well described, the characters, their actions, the magical beings e.t.c.  My favorite part was the last few chapters as they were so exciting and full of action.

Fall to PiecesFall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fall to Pieces ended up being much better than I expected. The description had me interested, as I enjoy crime thrillers- law and order type, if you will. The cover art had me expecting more of a romance novel. While it did have that, it wasn’t the focus of the story. We instead focus on detective Alexandra Danvers, and her internal struggle to bring a suspected child killer to justice. I really enjoyed the link this case had to her husband, as well as how Detective Xavier Knight fit in. All the characters seemed to have little connections, which made it all work. The characters are introduced slowly, so it wasn’t overwhelming to me. I was happy that Alex handled the truth rationally, and didn’t fly off the deep end, like we see many female leads do. I don’t want to reveal too much and ruin the story, so I’ll leave it at that. She is a very strong character and I hope to read more about her, whether prequel or future developments.

The name for this book was very fitting, because this was a very practical guide! This was immersive and knowledgeable and the author did a great job of making it feel like she was right there talking to me personally. It was interesting reading a guide that had information that felt like things I actually feel myself. It’s nice knowing I’m not the only one. I highly recommend this guide for everyone who’s wanting to get closer to their inner selves and get their magic back.

My children are now grown old enough to understand that there is no Santa, but there was a point of time when they did come and ask, ”Mom, is there really a Santa?”. This book helps us answer the question with a lovely story, which Lucas’s mom tells him when he asks her the same question. The spirit of Christmas is explained so well to keep the notion of Santa alive in the minds of the young and old alike. A beautiful book and a must read for all children who have come of age to understand that Santa Claus is magical and not real.

This urban fantasy is definitely worth reading. I was excited by the landscape and descriptions of this world. It took a little while to fully appreciate the world and how those on the “fringes” like Harlow Fletcher survive. I really appreciate how strong Harlow is and how she perseveres the best way she knows how after she loses her parents. We meet so many interesting and sometimes scary characters in this book. Reading about them and learning how they interact with Harlow and how she deals with them is an important part of this snook. I can’t wait to read more about Harlow and her search for magical charms in future books of this series.

Definitely different, but I loved the different! Fall to Pieces is an investigation with an investigation. A murder mystery with Internal Affair’s right in the middle.
Lexi, a North East Philly detective, has been assigned a new partner. Xavier has been assigned to Lexi’s precinct to investigate Lexi, what better way to do that is as her partner. First case as partners, a homicide of a child. A case that could make or break her career Lexi is determined to get justice for the family.
Xavier is torn in his quest to prove that Lexi is unfit. Lexi exudes a lot of confidence and qualities he admires, but feels she can be careless. Oh and he’s also attracted to her, that never makes things easy.
I loved the character development of Lexi and Xavier as individuals and working together, but the book has me posing a few questions for you.
Will Lexi find out Xavier has been brought in to essentially “take her badge”?
Will Lexi and Xavier act on their mutual attraction?
Will justice be delivered for Tommy Welsh?
Three intriguing questions that have answers just as intriguing of answers, but if I answered them for you what good is that. READ FIND OUT THOSE 3 ANSWERS AND MORE!
It’s a whirlwind of a book that will DEFINITELY NOT DISAPPOINT! You are going to want more when it’s over!

I devoured this book! I don’t think I can say enough good things about this book. I enjoyed the writing style, the characters and the story line. Harlow Fletcher is an illegal charm collector in the supernatural city of Luma. She is a human in a supernatural world, thanks to her parents raising her here. Her ability to get herself into trouble seems to be infinite but that is part of the charm of the book.

After Harlow “collects” a magical sword her luck just seems to go from bad to worse. The sword has a mind of its own and decades to follow Harlow. It saves her from certain disaster at first but later drags her into more danger than she could have found herself. Murder, mayhem and craziness ensue.

I am so excited to keep reading this series!

This book was definitely an unexpected read. It is very seldom that you find a romance based in a country overseas like Poland so it was a very nice change of pace. While I am not normally a reader of history, I loved the history and the characters in this book. But with the help of the characters you are easily sucked into the pages. The combination of history, adventure, and a budding romance just kept turning the pages, I absolutely couldn’t put it down and almost finished it in one sitting. This author gave us a unique, but historically accurate plot, fantastic characters, and brilliant word building. I simply can’t recommend this book enough!

This book will for sure put a Spell on you. I have always loved reading about magic and this author did not disappoint, giving us a courageous female lead, different characters all with different magical strengths, and a fantastic plot. When I found out that this book would focus on Italian magic I was super intrigued and I was definitely not disappointed. Annie was a very impressive character who goes through a lot and in the end she definitely came out stronger then I ever thought she would while reading her story. Full of emotions, suspense, magic and oh so much more this story was a brilliant read.

If this wasn’t the cutest little bedtime story for my 8-year-old daughter, I don’t know what is. We certainly enjoyed giving ourselves a little pat on our back. A cute, little fluffy story for our littles to enjoy, and have a nice little lesson in there as well. There were certainly parts where I found that there was a lot of the same words used, but for a children’s book, it fit perfectly. We both loved the part where Priscida is telling us about her adventure with a bike, and my daughter laughed so hard she had to sit up to catch her breath. The pictures were also very adorable and enjoyable to look at. The one with the conductor was a fan favorite! Would read this again to my daycare kids, and any other children’s stories that this author releases. Well done!

Lucas is a young boy who is growing up quickly and as another Christmas arrives, he is excited that Santa will be coming again this year, but this excitement is dampened by his friends at school who tell him that “Only babies believe in Santa!” So when he gets home, he asks his Mom whether Santa really exists, this is where he is offered the chance to be a Dream Keeper and be a part of a big secret.

This is an illustrated tale of the part of growing up where things once strongly believed in, become things which children want to believe in, but feel like they can’t anymore because of their age, but does it also hold the key to something more? This a short and heartwarming story for all ages which keeps the magic of Christmas alive.

She teaches the importance of values, family, and never giving up. She talks about everything she does with her family to what she herself would like to do one day to be her best self. This is a great moral story for children, and its also a fun read.
