The Mastermind (WaterFyre Rising, #1)The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was expecting your typical “brother’s best friend” story when I started reading The Mastermind; but wow! I was not expecting to have all the suspense, shaded pasts, danger, mystery, and romance! Nadia Han delivers wonderfully realistic and flawed characters along with a compelling story line in a book that was hard to put down! I was drawn to the characters and the sizzle and spark between Remi and Audri. They obviously care for one another, evidenced in the easy banter between them, but neither one wants to hurt the other with their troubled pasts. The twists and turns in the story made me keep turning, page after page, devouring the book! This was a first time author for me and she did not disappoint and has added a new follower. I cannot wait for the next book!

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victoriously Yours is the 4th book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm, this series is just fantastic, it doesn’t hide from the big issues and doesn’t pretend that everyone in a novel like this is perfect touching on issues such as mental health and childhood traumas. Kenzie is a flawed character, she has been hurt in the past and this has affected her view of relationships, when she goes to audition for the job of a lifetime, she doesn’t expect her potential employer to be the same boy that broke her years ago. Jonas is a successful businessman, a playboy about town, but no one realises the extent of his struggles. This was a really enjoyable read; the main characters are very likable and the story keeps you engaged. I am very much looking forward to book 5 in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for mysteries, and heroines, and historical settings… luckily this novel has them all! The Prospect of Death brings to light an olden tradition of brides arriving in other countries to wed. The main character, Alyssa, is a brilliant woman who is unlike the other seeking a different country as she is not intending to be a bride. Alyssa definitely provides a sort of Sherlock Holmes sort of vibe while she’s figuring out clues and solving the mystery! From the setup, to the realization and personalization, and finally the ‘whodunit’ ending was a tremendous read and is highly recommended!

The Mermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace (Mermaid Science)
By Lois Wickstrom
4 Stars

I found this to be a cute story geared towards children between the ages of 4-8 years old. Maia is the only one to be able to see the mermaid. With the help of the ice cube necklace, Fig knows that Trezzie exists. Children will learn what happens to ice in different temperatures of water. While enjoying a book, they will learn something as well which is important. I loved that at the end of the book, the author explains water in all its forms. This is an entertaining story kids will love.

A murder scars five teen boys who skipped school to work on their dream creation of a video game. When a man, who went by the name of Slash, warns them to forget the murder, or they would end up dead, the boys never mention it again.

Years later, Remi is buying Lafayette Marketing when he sees a distressed Audri. He hadn’t seen his best friend, Grayson, little sister in years since he had moved to New York. Unaware of what was causing her distress, he decides he will follow up with her later. Audri is walking to the human resources department to speak about her sexual harassment complaint against Lawrence Lafayette. The meeting didn’t go well, and Audri leaves work upset. She goes to her brother’s housewarming party and runs into Remi. Audri can’t deny the attraction she has for Remi, but he keeps a distance from her. Remi tries to avoid attachments, but something about Audri has piqued his interest.

Audri is out to lunch with her friends when she sees Remi as well. Her phone pings, and a lewd message appears. Remi notices and approaches the table to see what is wrong. Audri admits that this is the third message she has received since Remi purchased Lafayette Marketing from different numbers. From that moment, Remi feels the need to protect Audri and a tense relationship forms between them. Who is sending the messages? Will a relationship actu

This was an amazing beginning to this series. I loved the premise of the book as a back to a video game. I’m sure we will hear more about this later in the series. The book was filled with trauma for both the main characters. Second chances are wrought with pain and despair and never an easy road to travel. I loved the bonds of friendship that ran very deep within the group. Will love bloom or will it be snuffed out before it can start? Lots of twists and turns to keep reading. Can’t wait to start book 2

I love a good forbidden romance, and brothers best friends always tend to be those.
Audri and Remi were hot together. Remi was an Alpha by far who always had his eyes on Audri even when they were younger. Audri was independent, intelligent, and a fierce woman. This book was a suspense tale that had lust, romance, intrigue, and thrills at every angle. I loved the characters and enjoyed every element of the unexpected the author threw in.

This cute little book was fantastic! Each part (the book has 3 of them in it) are basically like a little mini story and I absolutely loved it. This book was not only romantic, and a very clean romance, good for just about any age, but it also felt completely magical. I honestly didn’t want to put it down. I loved each if the characters and felt like I was right there. I laughed and I cried. I definitely want to read more about these couples in the future!

This book held 3 wonderful, sweet stories! I was literally gushing as I read, the stories were happy and brought on those tender moments I love so much! I was truly captivated and in my own awe as I read, just reading these books made my heart and mind feel happy! Wonderful book of stories!

Each one had characters that lost a chance of what they considered to be happy! As they visit this magical bookstore, the unthinkable happens. Something happens to all the characters in every story that might just give them their happily ever after! But the bookstore really is the thing that sets up the happily ever after for the characters, to keep it and hold onto it, they have to work their own magic! Loved the realism behind these stories and how captivating they were! Really loved and enjoyed these!

Such a wonderful read of second chances and hope. I devoured these very quickly. I wanted to see what would come of each story! I am so happy I got to read these stories! Highly recommend with no doubt!

The Happily Ever After Bookstore is a lovely read. Centered around the Happily Ever After Bookstore owned by Leona, we see three love stories come together. The stories are sweet and tie together seamlessly. I enjoyed the individual stories and characters and how they all tied together. I have a hard time picking my favorite part because they all drew me into their stories differently. I also enjoyed the bookstore being a central location of the story. One of my favorite places to go is my local bookstore. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I adore everything about this book! The characters were beautifully written and their relationships were so unique and genuine! Leona is such a beautiful soul and Sadie is a complete sweetheart. Fiona is also so realistically cautious but also brave. Charlie is such a great grandson and I love Ellen too! I want to go to The Happily Ever After Bookstore and meet all of them, and lose myself in the books! I simply love how all their stories tie together and will definitely be looking up other books by this author because I am a sucker for a happy ending, and this book had them in spades! If you’re looking for a book full of love, a hint of whimsy, books, and happy endings, this should definitely be your pick!

My favorite thing about this book is that you get not one, not two, but three feel good love stories in one amazing book! If ever you need a pick me up, this book will do it.

Leona is a bookstore owner who loves to give her customers a happily-ever-after. When Sadie and Charlie are both seeking a book, Leona sees potential and makes a way to bring them together.

Author Fiona ends up at Leona’s bookstore where she happens to reconnect with her ex-husband. Leona may just help them see that growth and time could give them the ability to overcome differences.

Leona is good at giving everyone but herself their happiness. When Jon enters her life, she fights an inner battle to maybe find a happily ever after of her own.

The characters in this story are fun, deep and exciting. The way all of their stories intertwine is creative and beautiful. I walked away from this book feeling happy and uplifted. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming contemporary romance novel, with three interwoven stories all based around the ‘Happily Ever After Bookstore’. The owner of the bookstore is Leona, and she not only loves finding readers the right book, but also the right partner, even if the pair might not know that they are destined to be together. When Sadie enters the bookstore to ask for Leona’s advice for a holiday romance, she knocks into Charlie McGowan, who seems out of his element. Sadie and Charlie soon discover that Leona has “accidentally” given them the wrong bags. As they meet to swap bags, will they fall for the bookstore owners matchmaking. Leona is at it again, when author Fiona Gable and her ex-husband, Price Richter end up in the town at the same time. Having been married and both loved and lost the couple split up, but maybe finding each other under different circumstances might change everything.

Leona may be skilled at pairing other people together, but she’s never found love herself, after all the bookstore is her true love. However, when Jon Ford is sent to fix some repairs in the bookstore, Leona wonders if she may have actually found her own happily ever after. When Leona learns that Jon comes with baggage, in the form of a three year old and a four year old, she’s not sure if she’s ready to take on a man, and a ready made family as well as her bookstore, but she definitely deserves her own happily ever after. This was an enjoyable and engaging read which kept me happily entertained and turning the pages. This wonderfully written novel, had a lighthearted and romantic storyline with very likeable and relatable characters, all set in a bookstore, the perfect combination!

The Happily Ever After Bookstore by Bernadette Marie

The absolute sweetest book I have read in so long ….had me with all the feels! Wish I could give a gazillion stars….it was THAT good! The author pulls the reader in, having you feel like you are part of the town & the bookshop!

Three love stories, entwined by the Happily Ever After Bookstore—all leave the reader believing that happily ever after is indeed possible!

In the first story, the author demonstrates that sometimes it doesn’t matter how long you’ve know each other—some people are just destined to be together, whether you’ve know each other for 5mins or 5yrs. Fate (as well as shop owner, Leona) intervened when Sadie & Charlie crossed paths at the bookshop during the holiday season. A Christmas Eve mix up had the two them enjoying each other’s company and quickly falling in love—-with history repeating itself.
In the 2nd story, the author shows that it’s never too late for a second chance! When Fiona is in town for a book signing, she is surprised to learn her ex-husband, Price is also in town indefinitely. While their paths happen to cross at the bookstore during Fiona’s book signing, they (along with Leona) realize that the spark is still there.
In the last story, it is only fitting that the hopeless romantic bookshop owner, Leona, has the opportunity for her own “happily ever after”, when handyman Jon Ford shows up to repair the shop.

Best feel good book that I’ve read in a long time. Captivating the audience, leaving the reader rooting for everyone to get their “happily ever after”.

The Cross of CiaranThe Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Cross of Ciaran is such an original, intriguing story of a New York archeologist that’s trying to find out what happened to a missing fifth-century Celt. Ciaran is said missing Celt that wakes up in modern-day times trying to figure out what is happening and why he woke up in a strange time and place. Fate brings these two together as Caitlin tries to solve this mystery. I greatly enjoyed this book. It starts with a bang and you learn so much about the customs, religions and other things as the world of this book is built and the story moves forward. I enjoyed the plot and could not wait to see what was going to happen next. The story is well researched and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s like a tv series that you don’t want to start until you know you’re able to binge watch the entirety of that show. That’s what I was waiting for with this series and have been not so patiently waiting for the day to come where I could start. I always find that the Pilot, or the first installment in a series is the hardest to get through, with all the character development, world building, and plot coming into focus, but didn’t find it difficult to become addicted to flipping the pages of this novel. This author has very clearly put her love of writing into Ciaran, Caitlin, as well as Ciaran’s newfound chosen family, and supporting characters and in checked all the boxes for me.

There’s nothing like a slow burn romance amidst a fifteen hundred year old Celt that is keeping a heavily guarded secret, Priests that want nothing more than to please the higher power that they believe in but also do what’s right for who they care and love, and the mystery of the past, that will surely become more apparent as the series progresses. I thought to myself, okay, I’ll set aside an hour or two a night to read, which then turned into several hours the past few days, and here we are, swiftly moving onto The Book of Carraig. Once this is all done, I look forward to exploring more of her work, highly recommend!

Compelling and intriguing just as the other in the series were! I simply love the story and how it continues this series, loved the other books in the series, and this one was no different. The author very much knows how to captivate the reader! I always enjoy the book installments in this series!

This book installment captivated my heart and soul in more ways than one! I loved the history we got to learn this time and how it relates to our main characters. There was a lot of detail in this book and it brought on a lot of curiosities within me. There was a lot of talk of the greatest thing being at stake…family! You really saw how much Ciarán loves Caitlin and the family on the way to say. I really felt a lot of feelings with this one, and this one is for sure my favorite in the series so far!

Loved this series so much with a passion! I can never tire of the characters in this series or the story that emerges with them! Loved this book especially! Must read book and series, highly recommend!

This is book 3 in the Cross of Ciaran series. These books have kept me gripped from the very first one. The stories of the characters are unique and really make for a page turning book. The author’s ability to mix historical references in with the story just adds to the realism. Their is a great love story in this book and also a strong sense of family and that you do anything to protect your family from danger.

We are back with Ciaran and his brother Aodhán. Both are adjusting to their new lives and finding love. Ciaran is even due to become a father again just like his pervious life. Things seem to be going smoothly, until Ciaran starts to be plagued with dreams of Ruadhán. Ruadhán is the high priest that killed his first love and also entombed Ciaran. In his dreams he sees that Ruadhán is alive and searching for him.
But its only dreams right? There’s no way Ruadhán came back to life after all this time? Ciaran soothes himself with this knowledge until Aodhán finds an undiscovered tomb with no body inside.

Could Ciaran’s dreams be a warning? Is his new wife and unborn children in danger from the man who destroyed his family all those years before? Does the tomb even belong to Ruadhán or is there another threat the brothers need to be away of?

The Cave of Ruin Arsa is a time travel paranormal romance story and the last book in this trilogy. Steeped in history and archaeology Andrea’s passion shines through. Her vivid narrative makes it so easy to picture the scenes portrayed in the story. The Cross of Ciaran is to read and is unique and interesting.

With magic and mystery, suspense and adventure, drama and lies, danger and romance, religious beliefs and Pagan Priests Andrea gives a little of everything to draw the reader in. The story alternates between the fifth century and present.

Ready to leave his past behind Ciaran finds that very same past is once again threatening everything he loves.

The Cave of Ruin Arsa is the third intriguing book in The Cross of Ciaran series by Andrea Matthews. This is a paranormal romance- with mystery, magic, time travel, history, adventure, danger, family, secrets/lies, adventure, dramatic developments, and plenty of suspenseful tension.
As this book follows on from the events in the previous book/s, I highly recommend reading them before diving into this one.
Ciaran was hoping that after everything that had happened to him that life might finally start to settle down and move on from the past. But fate seems to have other plans. Plagued by disturbing dreams that seem to point to a sinister force threatening everything he holds dear, Ciaran has some puzzles to work out- especially if he’s to ensure the past doesn’t destroy his future.
Intriguing and well-woven…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Andrea Matthews!

This is the third book in the series, and it was an excellent addition! Ciaran and Caitlin are expecting twins and Aodhan is preparing to marry Niamh. Both are moving on with their lives like they weren’t born in the fifth century, but the past doesn’t stay buried for long. Ruadhan, their chief priest, comes back to haunt their dreams and appear periodically to them. As the brothers do their best to decipher the dreams, look for an empty tomb that could be Ruadhan’s, and protect their families from a possible devout priest of the goddess, they find themselves doubting what defies reality despite their very presence doing the same. Is the chief priest out for revenge? Is he even alive? Or are they both slowly losing touch with reality?

I am enjoying reading about these fifth century priests learning the idioms of the English language, navigating the “modern” times, and balancing their previous life with the one they are living now. The characters are all written realistically in the sense that I could see them being alive and well today. I love Ireland and how the author writes about the country and the characters. That’s what keeps bringing me back to this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am ecstatic! Here I was thinking this was going to be a trilogy, but imagine my excitement to discover there will, indeed, be a fourth installment in this brilliant series. This novel was likely my favorite so far, as we have gotten to know Ciaran, Aodhan, Caitlin, and really getting to know Niamh, as well as the whole Irish clan that we have come to love. The more we discover within these pages, the more we will be charmed by this authors ability to really bring their world into our hearts and flutter off the pages. The seamless introduction of new characters, the ability to connect with existing and the need to hold my breath while immersed in this literature never ceases to amaze me.

I can just picture this large 5th century Celt holding two wee babies, and the fact that Ciaran and Aodhan might be large in stature but are truly just large teddy bear kids at heart. I very much enjoyed getting to know Aodhan even more, and to be there threw the struggles and troubles that these folks go through in this installment. I very much look forward to seeing some new talents come to light, or at the very least, to grow, and to read about little Fionn and Aisling to grow. I can’t get enough, and have already recommended this series to my parents, they’re excited to read it as well. Amazing work!

If you have read the first installment in this series and were blown away by the story woven by this talented author, hold on tight for this adventure! Our crew travels to Ireland, and they’ve landed much to Ciaran’s relief, as he’s discovered he is not a fan of air travel and are making their way to their new project. I absolutely love when a series picks up where the previous installment leaves off, and that’s what you can expect from this second installment. We have already fallen in love with the characters, and I was so excited to get to know new characters and travel to Ciaran’s homeland with him.

Caitlin and Ciaran’s relationship continues to develop into something more than either of them ever would have imagined, though of course, us readers knew that they were meant for each other from the very first time they met. Be ready for some bumps in the windy Irish roads, more flashbacks, and more questions answered throughout this scrumptious second installment I have always wanted to travel to Ireland, and this author not only brought me there, but encouraged the most vivid dreams I have had in years. Onto the next installment now, cannot get enough. This authors skill just seems to get better and better. Thank you, and highly recommend!

I enjoyed this time travel story. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous two books to help your enhancement of this series and author. I enjoy how the author is able to make the story come to life on each page with their attention to details. This is a well written story that took me on an adventure that could turn deadly. The twists and turns you won’t see coming. A story where you could lose your family to the past. This is a story where the characters take pieces of information and put them together that can alter dreams. The growth of the plot and characters made the story easy to read and entertaining as well. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I had to know what happened next. This is a great story that you don’t want to miss. A great adventure story that will take you back and forth in time. I highly recommend this book.
