Hot Hot Hot!!! I love second chance romances, probably because I have my own HEA due to a second chance. Brynn and Levi couldn’t be more perfect for each other!! This story gives you all the feels and was a great way to break into a new series!! The characters are well developed and the author brings the story about in such a way that you really care for them. I am very much looking forward to the next book in line!

Finally, A box set where EACH book is worthy of being in the set! This author is SO good at creating an entire multiverse of characters, species, and worlds that are unique and different than anything you have read before. Rather than go on and on about how epic this set is, I will post my reviews for the individual books.
Journeys Through SpaceTime is a complex and intricately woven web of many different worlds/dimensions and therefore, characters. I had a difficult time in the beginning remembering who was who, and keeping up with all the diverse characters, each with their own unique personalities, lives, thoughts, and even worlds at times. It almost is reminiscent of Game of Thrones, in the writing style and the way it follows multiple timelines, simultaneously. I was curious how the author would be able to bring all these diverse characters together, to make it blend seamlessly and not feel awkward, and found I was enjoying THAT mystery as much as the book itself! Not a light read for the average reader, but I found myself indulged and wanting to know what happened next, and to who! I was pleasantly surprised, as Sci-Fi is not my typical choice of genre, and cannot wait to dive into part two, Journeys Through TimeSpace! I think this one deserves a 5 star, it is not easy to have so many complex personalities that are so well written!
This is the second installment in the Journeys series by James Talisman. In book one, we are thrown into a multi-verse, where characters come from different places and backgrounds. In this book, the battle to save Earth continues, but this battle is a little different. Instead of only traversing across the multi-verse, the characters are now traveling through time as well. I highly suggest reading book 1 (Journeys through SpaceTime) before heading out on this adventure, as it will make much more sense. I was very happy to see some of my favorite characters from book 1 return (but I won’t spoil who!), and learn more about who they are, and why. I was so invested in this series, wondering and hoping along with the characters, that good will overcome evil (in a sense). I am not typically a sci-fi reader but this series had me on the edge of my seat and I flew through the pages without effort. I truly hope to see a 3rd book in this set, and 110% recommend this series to everyone! 10 out of 10 stars, easily.
I have been invested in this series (and Author) from the 1st book, and just like the previous two, I could not find a “stopping point” to quit reading for the night. The worlds and characters in this series can seem a bit hard to follow AT FIRST but once you get a hang of who is who, and from where (or when), it flows very nicely. This series is SO unique, you are not only following one character, or even one group of characters, in a single timeline. This is different species. Different Worlds. This is a MULTIVERSE of characters and dilemmas. Think of Game of Thrones meets Sci-Fi. You have the twisted and intertwined storylines, that all come together to form a neat and tidy plot. I have never encountered another author that makes such complex world building and creativity seem so flawless and natural. This is past meets future, peace meets war, and simple meets complex, all at once. Pick this one (and the previous 2 books) up and you will be in for a whirlwind of fantasy heaven!

This was a really good read and continuation of this series. While this can technically me read as a standalone, it makes more sense to read the series in order because characters make a reappearance and it references past books. While this story is enthralling and grabs you and the author does an a aging job of crafting and painting the various worlds and universes in this book, I had a time getting into it because it’s been so long since I’ve read the first 2. However this book was a really good sci-fi/fantasy mash up and I really did enjoy it!

Gina was injured while serving in the army. While she has physically healed, She has closed in on herself. She has learned to proactively protect herself to avoid the stings of rejection. While at a craft fair she meets Bryce, who asks her out but she turns him down. After running into each other again Bryce is still interested and asks again. She turns him down. After some misunderstandings are cleared up the two begin spending time together. They each have their own issues that they must work through. Will Gina and Bryce be able to overcome their issues and find their happily ever after?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While it is the third in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. I loved that the characters had depth and felt like someone you might know in your own life. The relationships between the sisters is amazing to see. While this is the first book in the series I have read I can’t wait to go back and read the previous while I wait to see what comes next. Totally worth the read!

I had so many mixed emotions with this story. I actually had started it and found myself just feeling overwhelmed and stopped. Ok now this isn’t a bashing review just hang with me real quick. This story had so much going on and in the beginning it seemed just super rushed and a jumble of stuff going on. You may feel the same but please listen to this next part! Keep reading because this author is about to blow you away with a story you can’t miss. Gem is a character that absolutely stole my whole heart with her kick butt attitude and her loyalty to those important to her. This book definitely has some difficult subjects but the author puts a lot of feeling into them. Connecting with the characters was so easy. Again please if you feel it’s rushed and a lot going on push on it’s so very worth it! If I could give more than five stars I would! Highly recommended!

I swear this author just gets better and better. I do recommend reading these in order to enhance the overall experience of this world. Now saying that I think I can say Elena and Marco may be my favorite but hey don’t tell the others ok! These two just had something that called to me. Elena is so strong and Marco is so protective each one brings this story to life. There plenty of swoon worthy romance, drama and action to keep you on your toes. It’s well written and has characters you just can’t help but love. Five huge stars and highly recommended! I’m anxiously waiting for more.
I really enjoyed this story of Gina and Bryce. They way they initially meet totally made me chuckle especially over a misunderstanding. My heart really ached at times for Gina, what she had to endure and the walls that she had around her heart and rightfully so. Bryce is hardworking arson investigator and I loved his banter trying to get to know Gina. There are sparks, sizzle, secrets but also moments that just capture you….Bryce trying to break Gina’s walls down and the trauma. Overall I really loved Gina and Bryce’s story and I highly recommend this book!
A Bride For Noah is the first book in the Brides of Broken Arrow series by Cheryl Wright. This is my first read from Ms. Wright, so I was keen to see what she could do with a story. I am happy to say that I enjoyed this sweet historical romance and feel it has set the series off to a great start. Noah is left reeling when he discovers that the land he thought he owned could be forfeited if he didn’t marry within the month. One big problem- the lack of available women in his area. He needs a ‘wife’ asap- what will he do?? The solution to his problems comes in the form of Mary Stanton, who just happens to need a solution to her pressing problems. An arrangement might be exactly what these two need to get out of their sticky situations. But what happens if feeling become involved? You really should read all the interesting details for yourself if you want to know what happens in this wholesome, cute story. This is quite a heartwarming story. The characters are fully developed and endearing individuals- I couldn’t help but connect with them and their sweet story. I really liked Noah and Mary, and I especially felt for Mary and what she had been through. Perfect for readers who prefer their romance with a ‘clean’ and wholesome plot. A marriage of convenience and finding love unexpectedly… Happy Reading!

An easy, clean read! An unconventional story with a couple brought together by their individual needs and a means to an end, but could it work out forever?
The author writes an engaging novella. It’s an easy read with likable characters in both Noah and Mary. The author developed the characters and story well and I love that it is wholesome and where faith plays a central role. This was an enjoyable read and I look forward to the rest of the series.

This story was such a sweet, cute, empowering romance read. I really, really loved it! The instant attraction between Gina and Bryce was nothing short of amazing! The first chapter had me hooked, I couldn’t set the book aside until I read ALL of their story. It was that great honest! The awkward misunderstanding of what Gina first thought of Bryce, priceless. LOL….Definitely one of my top fave reads of the year!!
This is an action-packed page-turner, Elena is on the run, running from a life she wishes to not live. But we all know how life has a role for us. Marco wants nothing but to keep “little thief” safe but will Elena allow him to do that. Genealogy is a dangerous game but is the Italians and the Russians ready to play?

This book captured a piece of my heart and I’ll remember Gina and Bryce for a lone time. I read this without reading the previous books with no problems whatsoever. I will say the characters from previous books definitely play a major role still so I’ll definitely be going back and reading the others. This story just got me in all the feels, Gina was a character that was so easy to connect with, and she may just be my favorite female character so far this year. The chemistry her and Bryce have is so easy to see they truly bring you into their world. It’s a story that hit close to home for me and I loved everything about it. Five huge stars and highly recommended! Excited to read the rest!
I am a sucker for second chance for romance stories. I really liked Levi’s character and who he was. Bryn took a bit for me to connect with and understand.. Part of that could’ve been her mothers influence. Levi, however, he was a success in the story as well as how it was written. I look forward to reading others in the series.

This was a really sweet read. It’s definitely out of the norm for me to read this kind of romance but I really enjoyed it. Gina’s character is so emotional to read and Bryce turned out to be wonderful. (I never know what to expect from the book description- if I’ll like the MC or not, but both characters were fleshed out and i loved reading their story) I messed up and read this as the first book in a series (instead of as the third) but I didn’t feel like I was out of place at all. I’m eager that I have a couple more to read now!
This is technically the third book in the band of sisters series but they all seem to be stand alone novels. It was also my first book by Marianne Rice but will most certainly not be my last. I’m really looking forward to reading the other books in this series. A hundred wishes follows ex army sergeant Regina (fish) Fisher and arson investigator Bryce Cambridge’s complicated journey of falling in love. Gina was so broken when she met Bryce and he had his own set of issues but he slowly helped Gina rebuild herself, gain her confidence back, and they built a great relationship together taking all the right steps. This book pulled me in and I didn’t want to put it down. I neglected everything just to read this book, there just never seemed to be a good stopping point, I just wanted to keep reading. I would definitely recommend this to romance lovers.

As soon as I saw this book, I knew I had to read it! I absolutely love hockey so it was a given this book would be right up my alley, and I wasn’t wrong! Mix in some romance and you have an excellent book! I loved the storyline and the characters. Every person never forgets their first love and this book is a good example of that! If you love hockey and love romance stories then I would highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed!

When I heard the last book in the series was being released, I was absolutely ecstatic, and neither the book nor the author failed to meet my expectations! I reread the first two books prior to reading this because it had been awhile and there was a lot of information I had forgotten, so I was very happy I had the insight to do that!
This book was by far my favorite of the three stories! I really enjoyed how he left you guessing right up until the very end what the conclusion of the story would be. I was sad to see the story come to an end, but am happy that I got answers to many questions that I was having. The author did a great job at tying up all of the loose ends left after the second book, as well as make it impossible to put down for very long. This author has definite talent, I’m excited to see what he comes up with next!

These books are very well written. I was drawn in and captivated till the end of each one. The character development and world(s) building are top notch. The author does an awesome job of keeping everything consistent across all books, without feeling like anything is lacking or he is trying too hard. If you enjoy Sci-fi, these books should be at the top of your list to read. Review by @mimimadge

Really well written characters. It’s not often you see character development this well made. Very angsty, very emotional. You could feel everything with these characters and I just wanted to bundle them up and protect them from everything that was going on. Definitely an author I’m going to keep an eye on in the future.

I think that this collection is a great read. I have read all three so far in the series and was glued to the pages. I find that the author has a very unique world created. The characters although fiction are relatable. The story flows real well and the backstory adds to all.
Book one intorduces us to the Multiverse. Journey’s through SpaceTime. I found the concept of a mulitverse quite original and thought that the author did a good job of laying out all the factions.I didnt have a problem following the story through the various parts of the multiverse and thought that it was very well organised and presented. I have to admit that this book had me glued to the pages cause I couldnt put it down till I read what was gonna happen next.I will defnintely read more from this author in the future.
Book two continues the adaventure. Journey’s Through TimeSpace.
The whole concept of a MultVerse really brings a complexity to the story and he fractions within the story really keep the reader enticed and eager to see how things will unfold. I found the complexity of the fractions to be unique. I really liked the opertunity to be able to continue reading this series. The concept of time travel and a MultiVerse really grab the readers. I really like the tie to Atlantis with Mark and the twists with him. I really will read more from this author in the future.
Book thee again draws the reader further into the Multiverse. Journey’s Through All Creation.
I like how the author is able to have just the right amount of drama and managed to put in a little romance, just a little. I also like how the characters pasts influence the story and how everything is entwined. I also like the character build up and how the author is able to keep the story flowing and unique. I also loved the cliff hanger at the end and cannot wait to see how this series will continue and perhaps grow.

I was impressed with how the author had the character handle various situations. It showed real empathy and depth. Fantastic world building and the book dealt with complex emotions. For a middle grade/YA I was not expecting this. It was so much more. This was the first book I’ve tried from this author but definitely won’t be the last.

I had no trouble reading this book without reading the rest in the series. However, some things like the pacing felt slightly off. We jumped into the action slowed down then jumped back into action again. It didn’t feel like there was a curve more like a start and stop.
However, I still really loved the storyline and the strong female character in this story was really well written. Honestly, I would like to try more books from this author to get really get a feel for her work as it feels like she has more to give than what we could grasp in this book.

This is the third book in the Band of Sisters series. This book hit me in all the feels in so many ways. The story of Gina and Bryce hit so close to home for me in so many ways. I couldn’t put the story down and absorbed it in one sitting. This story gives hope to those who suffer with PTSD and have yet to journey into the dating field. I really hope that this series continues as there is so much more story to tell.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and the way the author has woven the idea of magic and technology together to enhance witches around the world abilities. Arabella has a harder time proving herself to her Mother, who is the Grand Dame, than those of mundane society. I felt a connection to her, as the main character, as in my mind, she is the black sheep of her family, and really, of witches all together. She wants to make everyone proud, and happy to call her daughter, sister, friend, and will do everything to see to it that that is the case. It can feel a little long-winded at times, though.
The way the author wove new ideas with old ideas was brilliant, and the way she built up the characters throughout the novel was well done. I found that just when I felt a character was starting to lack sustenance, more information came to light, and the reader is pulled right back into this historical treat. You have some thoughts by the end of it that lead you to believe you’re in for another enjoyable adventure next time round too, which is nice. Truly a fun read, I held my breath on more than one occasion, and I look forward to reading the next installment. Well done!

Sonnier – Review by Amy Brennan
In the last book, Arabella finally discovered her magic. As the 7th daughter of a 7th daughter who had never before discovered her magic, she was treated poorly her entire life by everyone she knew – to the point of flat out abuse from her awful mother, the head of the most powerful coven of witches possibly in the world.
In this book, Arabella is joining the Sisterhood of Witches as the first ever technomancer and her first assignment has found her sent to help find a solution to the famine in Ireland. 2 witches from the Sortilege line have already succumbed to the famine, will she be able to use her unique abilities to solve such a huge problem?
While I wish things didn’t end so abruptly, I enjoyed the descriptions and ideas shared in this book like I did the first. It still has me interested in more continuation.

This is book three in this wonderful sci-fi series by a fantastic author. With each book he has become a better author and stronger writer. He has managed to take these wonderful characters that have grown so much in each book and become even more loveable. I think that this is the most in-depth he has written about the characters, and he did a wonderful job. I didn’t want to put this book down. That’s no surprise as I had the same issue with the first two books. Seriously he has me on the edge of my seat with each one of these books. They can be read individually, but I highly recommend you read them all in their exact order. You will not be disappointed.

First thing to come to my mind is that this author really knows how to hook the reader. The first installment spent most of the novel building up its characters and Arabella’s journey to becoming the one she was meant to be all along and creating their world in such a fashion that you feel as though you are right there. Amazing. This second installment, which I also couldn’t put down, is exactly what I look for in a continuation of a story. It transported me into its pages and took me on the adventure of a lifetime. We hear a little bit about Ireland and the Irish witches in the first novel, and now we were able to join Arabella on her adventure to try and help those that have been struggling for so long. Honestly, there’s not much left that this author didn’t cover, and I’ll be honest, all I wanted to do this weekend was finish it, wanting to know what was going to happen.
I absolutely loved the way we see more transpire between Arabella and her sisters, and acquaintances, as well as the new characters that are brought into the story in this installment. No longer is she the little black sheep, but rather, the one that a lot of folks are counting on to better their lives, and technology. She has grown into the person she was always meant to be, and I admire that about her character. The drama and the action and adventure that was incorporated into this thrilling story is immaculately done, and I very much look forward to what happens next. Be aware, the ending is a cliff-hanger! Looking forward to reading more by this author, too.

Sonnier – Review by Amy Brennan
I really enjoyed the world building and descriptions in this book. The idea of blending magic and technology is a new approach, and the theory of it is very interesting.
Where I had issues was the bullying and snarkiness in this book. Whether it be towards witches, sisters, daughters, neighbors, etc, there was a lot of nastiness towards people in this book. That treatment also led to Arabella being meek and immature, which would realistically be how an abused person could be…but it was to the point that it sometimes it was distracting from an otherwise very intriguing storyline and beautiful descriptions.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and think it is a wonderful idea to blend magic and technology. The descriptions of how Arabella saw magic and that that is how other witches see it made it easy to picture in my head, exactly how the author envisioned it in their writing. I’ll follow future additions to this series!
