Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series (Books 1-5) by K.G. Fletcher

I’ve read several books by the author. A Cold Creek Christmas is the only book in the series I’ve read previously, but the others make sense. Now I know where Amber is from. The entire series is amazing and I hope there’s more.

Run to the Sea is the first book in the Reigning Hearts Series. Emeline wishes her best friend would just come home for good. Thomas didn’t make it back in time to say goodbye to his grandfather. With Emmy and Cappy back together will his grandfather’s wish come true?

Emeline is working two jobs or three if you count her hobby. When an old friend shows up she notices that he’s not the same person. They get together to catch up and things take a turn for the better. The quote I chose for Emeline is: “A few. The diner is the most consistent. I work there several times a week. I also work at the main gallery in Pineapple Grove on the weekends. The Arts Center calls me every other week to model for their drawing classes, and I help some of the contractors in the area refinish cabinetry or do demo work when they get slammed.”

Thomas didn’t come back for his grandfather’s funeral. Now he’s back in town to take care of the cottage and gallery. Running into Emmy wakes something in him and he can’t let it go. The quote I chose for Thomas is: “You’ve left me…speechless. God, Emmy. You standing there in that dress. You took the breath right out of my lungs. You’re beautiful. Aren’t you going to invite me inside?”

Stars Fall from the Sky is the second book in the Reigning Hearts Series. Ginger loses something precious to her. Jonathon lost something precious to him a year ago. Can the two of them move past their hurt and be together?

Jonathon is a widower. He’s new in town and the new town doctor. He meets Ginger and can’t seem to get her off his mind. He wants her in his life and won’t take no for an answer. The quote I chose for Jonathon is: “I’m not sorry you kissed me. I’m glad it happened. And I’m glad you let me kiss you back. I know what you’re doing—you feel guilty, and your mind is going crazy with negative thoughts. You have nothing to feel guilty about. You know as well as I do we’re allowed to be happy again. Life can go on, you know. And you’ve shown me, it can be really good.”

Ginger has just lost her husband. Now she isn’t sure what to do and how to move on. Her friends help her out by babysitting when the doc shows up. The quote I chose for Ginger is: “You know, Rusty used to tell me the same thing—about sharing my baked goods with the rest of the county. That’s why I always entered the Fall Festival Bake-Off and then started baking for a few friends here and there. And then those friends told others, you know, word of mouth?”

A Sun So Bright is the third book in the Reigning Hearts Series. We see Cappy’s ex again. Fiona gets her own love story. Chris has met her once before and gets his chance.

Chris is a bartender and owns a country house away from the hustle and bustle of the city. He loves what he does and loves his home even more. Then everything changes when he meets Fiona. The quote I chose for Chris is: “I’ve got a few things I need to tie up behind the bar. I can be out of here in fifteen minutes. Why don’t you finish your drink and I’ll come back over when I’m done.”

Fiona is getting over the fact that she lost Thomas. Now she has to grieve the death of her dad. She’s depressed and when she finds out Chris’s mom is sick she helps. The quote I chose for Fiona is: “My father used to take me to the New York City Library when I was a little girl. It was the highlight of our week. Having my own library card was pretty amazing back then.”

I’ll See You Again is the fourth book in the Reigning Hearts Series. Nicky is going to get her chance at love. Mac might just find what he’s been missing.

Nicky loves her job and thanks to Fiona her dreams are coming true. She became good with money after their wedding. Going to The Good Pub after a long day proves to be better than she thought. The quote I chose for Nicky is: “Amber, I’m not some random groupie willing to go back to his hotel room. I mean, come on! Everyone in this town knows me. I have my reputation to consider. I’d be found out in a millisecond leaving everyone gossiping.”

Mac is a famous musician and is going on a world tour. Hitting Pubs in Scotland became his thing when trying out new music. Now it’s America’s turn. The Good Pub is a great place to start. And to maybe find love. The quote I chose for Mac is: “Aye. It was a bonny sunrise coming over the glen, lighting up the land and awakening all the animals. The simple pleasure of taking it all in with the special quietness of dawn—I have to admit, it’s my favorite time of the day.”

A Cold Creek Christmas is the fifth book in the Reigning Hearts Series. This book is amazing on its own without reading the rest of the series. Amber and Giovanni will leave you wanting more from the author.

Amber hasn’t ever had a Christmas that she has liked. When she meets Giovanni he opens her eyes to Christmas. The thought of him having a daughter scares her, but it doesn’t stop her. The quote I chose for Amber is: “He’s making breakfast? Of course he is. He’s a chef, Amber. Act surprised and enjoy every delicious morsel. And for God’s sake, don’t even suggest mimosas. Can’t have another repeat of last night.”

Giovanni is a single dad who is now living with his grandmother. He’s taking over her shop and needs to live up to her name. When he learns Amber’s story he vows to make it the best first Christmas she’s ever had. The quote I chose for Giovanni is: “I want to kiss you, Amber. I’ve wanted to kiss your pouty mouth all evening.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers

This book is too cute. It is a great book perfect for little kids. The know-it-all pencil story and illustrations were beautifully done. We watch Caspian as he and the pencil go on a little adventure and learn a lesson or two. It is a perfect read for children and those who still love a good children’s book. I will be sharing it with my nieces and nephews.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read by this author. I was very impressed and can’t wait to read more. The characters are wonderfully complex, each having their own issues. There’s plenty of action and adventure in this magical story. I’ve always loved stories about faries, magic, anything of the sort. This went a different direction than most and I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend reading The Curse of a Faeblood!

Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series (Books 1-5)Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this boxed set of five full length, standalone contemporary romances, and I ‘binge read’ them all. Each story is wonderfully written with likeable and relatable characters, a fascinating storyline, and a plot which has just enough drama along with the romance. The main characters always have plenty of chemistry which of course leads to some steamy scenes. The whole series took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I felt completely immersed in each heartwarming story and engaged with all the characters.

In ‘Run to the Sea’, Thomas and Emeline are childhood friends who become lovers in a beach romance. Ginger and Doctor Jonathon Walden are the couple having a second chance at love in a small town setting in, ‘Stars Fall From the Sky’. Billionaire heiress Fiona meets bartender Chris in, ‘A Sun So Bright’, which has an enemies to lovers theme. ‘I’ll See You Again’, is a Scottish rock star, opposites attract romance when Nicky and Mac meet. Then single Dad and Christmas lover Giovanni Sentieri meets ‘Grinch’, Amber in, ‘A Cold Creek Christmas’.

This was an enjoyable and engaging series of romances which kept me hooked from book one until book five!

It is the morning of Caspian’s UnBirthday and when he wakes up to a box tied in a ribbon from his Grandpa, he is excited, but when he opens it and all it contains are a yellow pencil and a green pad of paper he is confused, especially when it starts writing by itself!

What kind of an adventure can a Know-It-All Pencil bring? You can only find out by reading this charming book.

The Curse of a FaebloodThe Curse of a Faeblood by M.K. Lorber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ember is a young woman who is on the run, she is in danger because of who and what she is, she is a Faeblood and that is to some a gift and to some a curse, so she has lived all her life moving from place to place with her mother until the unthinkable happens and she has to continue her perilous journey on her own. As she drifts from place to place, all Ember has ever wanted is to have a place in a community, friends and family around her and somewhere she can call home, but she knows that it will never happen because of her heritage and the risks she has to take on the roads are not something a young woman should be doing alone, never mind one who has yet to grieve the only family she has ever known.

Gavyn is a young man in the peak of his life, he is the head trainer of the local elite fighting school where he trains young men and women in the art of fighting and discipline, as part of the annual tithe paid to the nobility who own the land they live on, he is a well honed machine and uses the skills he has learned over his life so far to instil these values in those around him. He is a part of a brotherhood, a family who he will defend above all others and this protective instinct has enabled him to rise through the ranks and become the leaders right hand man, it also means that he knows everything which happens in the village he lives in.

One day Ember attempts to steal something to eat from the cart of a vendor in a small village, however, she has caught Gavyn’s watchful eye and is caught, but the offer to pay off her debt is hard to resist, but she knows that she has to hide her true nature from those around her, no matter how much she wishes to become part of the community she has dropped into. Meanwhile, the nobles who live in the Castle at the heart of the Kingdom of Morvak are as far from the peasants they exact the tithe from as can be, they debate over who has the most pure Faeblood, but even they have their own hierarchy and it is on this foundation that they have built their lives, but all that changes when someone with Faeblood is found outside of the Castle walls.

As the days pass and Ember and Gavyn cannot deny that the more time they spend in each others presence, the more that an attraction is building, but neither of them can let down their walls because of the fears they have for those around them, but when it comes to saving those they love, will they be able to stay apart and keep their passion under wraps, or will it bring danger closer than ever? This is a story full of family, both lost and found, secrets, truths and magic, as tangled webs of emotions and reality are weaved around a village where respect and honesty are valued, lies and deceit are frowned upon and a tenuous balance is maintained, where you become sucked into a world which pulls you along until you know what happens in the end.

Manipulator’s war (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ruarnon is the heir of Tarlah, they have lessons in combat, the history of their country and their people, as well as learning how to run the kingdom they will one day inherit, all the while trying to impress the current King, who also happens to be their father who believes that because they are non-binary, they have to work harder than most. When they are not training or studying, they are spending time with their family and close friends, that is until one day the reality of their position comes crashing around them when assassination attempts are foiled and their parents are abducted in the middle of the night.

As they are reeling from the recent events, Ruarnon has to take control of their kingdom and make some tough decisions, they are not sure who to trust within their Royal Council and news comes in that their neighbouring Kingdom is rekindling their brutal nature and renewing their efforts to expand into Tarlah. Meanwhile Linh is on a school trip in Australia when suddenly the environment around her changes from somewhere she knows very well to somewhere completely strange and alien, however, when she tries to return the way she came, she realises that she is stuck in a foreign land fortunately is rescued by a boat who takes her to someone who they believe can help her. This is a lot to take in for Linh and her anxiety tries to get the best of her, however, when she learns that there is an option of a race who live in lands far to the north who may have the knowledge she needs to return home, she will take a risk and journey there.

As Linh starts the journey into an uncertain future and to a destination where she is desperately hoping to get the information she needs, a stop is made at a small island for provisions, however, when she is rushed back to their transport, she sees something which terrifies her, there are monsters attacking the islanders and those who are travelling with her and they do not differentiate between age, gender or race, anything that moves is a target for them and they are ruthless. Unknown to Ruarnon, his Kingdom is in more danger than just the expansionist neighbours, so when Linh arrives with the reinforcements he has requested and she tells him of what she has seen on her travels, the reality sets in, but will they be able to make the decisions they need to in order to keep Tarlah safe, no matter what deals they have to make with their enemies in order to do it?

This is a fantasy adventure which is action packed throughout as you see the devastating affects of rivalry, war and monsters as the main characters race against the clock to save as many of those around them by making decisions based on questionable truths brought by unreliable spies which will keep you on your toes throughout and not wanting to put the book down until you find out how it ends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The Know-It-All Pencil” is a story about a boy whose grandfather gives him a unique, magical gift. It is part of the Invisible Magic Wand series. I enjoyed this story. I read it without having read the other stories in the series and feel like I would have understood it more if I had read at least the first book in the series. I like the idea of a magic pencil. I was intrigued by the adventure Caspian experienced as a result of receiving the pencil. I recommend this book for children and anyone who enjoys a good children’s story.

Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series (Books 1-5)Reigning Hearts: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is wonderful box set – I have read 4 of the books and they were all fantastic 5 star reads for me! I love the authors easy to read writing style and her amazing characters who you just cannot help but fall in love with!

Book 1 – Run to the sea

Run to the Sea was a wonderful read by K G Fletcher and one that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. I really love this author and all of the books that I have read by her so far have all been wonderful reads. She has a writing style that is easy to read and her stories flow really well. She creates some amazing characters and Thomas and Emeline were no exceptions! I love a second chance romance and I absolutely adored watching these two characters come back together again and I was rooting for them to fall in love from the start! There were a few obstacles in their way but their story really had me hooked and I really grew to love then over their journey together. There were also some good supporting characters and I am really looking forward to reading more about them in the next book in the series!

Book 2 – Stars fall from the sky

I really liked the story, it was an emotional read and the author definitely got the feels across. I did kind of guess what might happen but that didn’t matter because I really liked the characters. Ginger was a sweet character and I really felt for her with everything that happened. Her love for Rusty and Daisy just poured off the pages at the beginning and so did her grief as the story progressed. I could feel the connection she found with Jonathon, I really liked him!!

Book 3 – A Sun So Bright

Again another wonderful book in this series. The characters were great although it did take a little time for me to warm to Fiona I did eventually and the plot was definitely romantic.

Book 5 – A Cold Creek Christmas

This was such a lovely, heart-warming Christmas read. I really do love this author and this is one of my favourites by her so far! I really liked Amber and Giovanni, both really likeable and relatable characters I felt. I also really loved that real feeling the story had. Giovanni was such a perfect gentleman and form the moment him and Amber met I knew they would be perfect for each other and I was rooting for them the whole way through.

What an overall interesting book this is. It is a great, unique way to look at an oversaturated genre. The scientific outlook gave it all a different perspective.
I did find the book to have quite a slow start. The author really sets the scene and builds everything up but it meant that it made for a slower read. It did pick up about half way through which is when I felt the story really got going.
I enjoyed the characters, especially the MC. She was so easy to connect with and get behind. This is a great story and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Everwood Plantation is a quick and fun read for lovers of the enemies to lovers trope. Zenni is a florist trying to stop the demolition of the plantation her family is from, by billionaire Colton Sage. I liked the banter between the two characters. It was definitely entertaining. I do think that the characters could use some fleshing out. She’s selfish and he’s immature which meant I found it difficult to root for them. It’s hard to root for a couple when you don’t really feel a connection to either character. That being said, I think this book is a quick and fun read for people that love romance. Enjoy!

This was a fun romantic comedy that had me laughing out loud a few times. I’ve read books by this author before and found her writing light hearted and easy to read an again I found that with this book. The characters were relatable and I enjoyed reading about them. I think it was obvious that Angelina still had feelings for Blade and I could feel the connection that they had during their interactions. They did have chemistry and the author wrote the sex scenes well in my opinion.
I would definitely recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

This was a really good read and a fantastic introduction to a new author! I knew from the very first page that it was going to be one of those books that once you start reading then you can’t stop and I was right. I loved the characters probably the first time I have read a book with two very dominant main characters and it was so fun to read about them. Another huge plus fir this book was the authors beautiful descriptions of the settings, I definitely want to visit Monaco now she makes it sounds absolutely amazing!
I really do highly recommend this story, it was a fantastic romance read with some very steamy moments! It’s well written and was a pure joy to read. I am very excited to read more from this author again in the future.

This was a really eye opening and moving story. Set in time gone by it shows the struggles that a young woman had to go through in order to give herself a better life out of poverty.
The story is so well written that the reader feels transported in time to that era. It feels like you are following Margaret around and living her life as she experiences it.
This story is a beautiful inspiring story filled with emotion that keeps the reader gripped. You experience first hand the pain of losing someone you love to war and the devastation that follows as Margaret trys to rebuild her life in a time when it wasn’t easy for a woman to be strong and independent.

I love dual POV books – unfortunately we don’t get that here. I would have loved to know Blade’s thoughts. Though this is a quick read – there is some depth to the story and the characters are well developed. Recommend.

This was a wonderful fantasy story. A romance with Ember and Gavyn that went from enemies to lovers. Ember’s just trying to survive and ends up getting caught by Gavyn. He has her help his sister. There is plenty of action, intrigue, magic and more within the story. The secondary characters are plenty. Ember is a survivor. Basically starving, she can still kick guard butt. Her mom is murdered so she wants to find out who did it and needs help. Because she is caught, it takes the longer way to get there. I found the plot had a few choppy spots but overall it was easy to follow and very engaging. The characters were well-developed. It felt like a fantasy world. You could feel the magic around you. The descriptions were vivid enough that it was easy to visualize the story as you went along. A fun story for fantasy lovers.

Targeting Dart (Satan’s Devils MC #4) Audio Book by Manda Mellett – Review by Shelly Kittell

Satan’s Devils has been one of my favorite MC series. It was the first one I started on. Targeting Dart has been so much fun to listen to on audio. I have enjoyed listening to this pair since book 1. They have the perfect voices for these books. You hear the sultry; the lustiness; the gruffness; and all the other feelings. It makes the story even better to hear and experience aloud. The author writes terrific stories with characters that are so unique. They each have their own character. The narrators can bring them each to life and the best part is that they do several of them in the readings. I love this book because I got all I loved in an audio book: great story, fun narrators, and characters that kick butt. Highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Now here is an interesting take on Lycsnthropy! This is not your average werewolf story this is most definitely al well researched medical thriller mystery Fantasy all rolled into one!

This book starts with a fire that has destroyed the lab of a very promising scientist (joanie) who was just looking for a cure for chronic lycanthropy syndrome, a genetic disorder triggered by a virus.

lost and overwhelmed losing her life’s work, she then is notified that shes inherited property in the ozarks from her grandfather who is missing but presumed dead… she thinks she can find some refuge here in a place from her childhood but instead she finds complex relationships, deception, Mystery, missing people, drama, friendships, chemistry, danger and so much more.

This book was pretty good, if you find yourself struggling in the first part keep going the story will pull you in and then you won’t be able to put it down! 4/5

Unabridged (Lovestruck Series Book 2) by Melinda De Ross – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Unabridged (Smart & Sassy in the City, #2)Unabridged by Melinda De Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book. At the very least I’d get some laughs as it was described as a romantic comedy. Not that I had any doubts, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Angelina had a secret. It was the reason she ended things with Blade. She made a sacrifice for him because of her love for him. The only problem is, she didn’t tell Blade the reason. Why is that a problem you ask? Well now Blade is her boss and he still thinks she’s cold hearted. Will these two rekindle their love now that they spend time together again or is all hope lost?

I enjoyed this book. I got a few good laughs! The characters were great and I loved their interactions. If you’re in the mood for a light romance with some laughs, this is definitely for you!

The-Know-It-All-Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review By Donya Pedigo

The Know-It-All Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand)The Know-It-All Pencil by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The-Know-It-All-Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom is a fun children’s read about a magical pencil and the adventures it leads to.

The book begins on “Caspian’s UnBirthday,” not having read the other books in the series, I’m not quite sure what day he celebrates his “UnBirthday,” or even exactly what it is. To get the full story for yourself and the children I would suggest reading the whole series or at least the book detailing what an “UnBirthday” is.

That being said, this is a very cute, imaginative story. It also has very colorful and appealing illustrations that help the reader travel through Caspian’s adventure along with him. This book has magic, adventure, and even shows instances of kindness by helping others. I also liked that everyone and everything Caspian encountered no matter the age, skin color, gender, ability, or animal type was treated with the same degree of helpful kindness.

This short read was really enjoyable and I think it would inspire children to want to go on a similar scavenger style hunt themselves. I’m excited to share it with my grandchildren. It would be great for children 4 to 6.
