Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1).Caging Grace (Grace Series, #1). by Carsen Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was beautifully written! I always enjoy books with strong female leads, and this story was no exception to that. Grace’s strength, tenacity, and strong familial bonds – both chosen and blood – were illustrated wonderfully in every bit of her journey. I adore that she holds herself to high standards and isn’t afraid of hard work; I truly just adore everything about her as a character and wish I could meet her. I also really enjoyed the way the story is told, truly showing her, in every facet of herself. The way that Dar, Johnny, Mason, and Carl rally around her is just amazing. If I could change anything about this story, I absolutely wouldn’t. The emphasis she places on choosing herself for the first time after spending her entire life as a caretaker is just perfect; she says it best when she says that she couldn’t be someone else’s half when she’s never even been whole. So, if you’re looking for a strong female lead that never quits, who has a strong moral code, so much compassion, and the kahones to take the world by storm, this is definitely a story you shouldn’t miss!

I’m not a sports person. Never have been, never will be. But let me tell you- this author has COMPLETELY made me a fan of cagefighting. This book is phenomenal! It does go off to a slower start, with a lot of flashbacks to give history to the character and to build the series, but when the rising action starts, it’s so hard to put down! I loved the way the author created the dynamics between the characters, and I honestly can’t wait to read the novella, or to read the next book. Absolute 100/10.

The darkest one yet! Hence the title but can em & steanfo find their way out of the darkness ? Together they can, once they put all the bs aside. I really like how supportive Stefano is. Also how strong Em is, she might be the strongest woman in this whole series! To endure what she does, and still come out fighting is amazing! This book left me speechless at times, we finally get the closure we need about some pesky rodents who shall not be named. Overall I enjoyed the realness to this one. It’s kind of a overcoming trauma, healing, action packed love story.! Can’t wait for more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the very first few pages this book had me in my feels! However I did read these books out of order so I kind of spoiled it for myself. However Amy has a way of sucking you into these stories that I completely reacted like it was new information. Or it felt like I was learning about things and characters for the first time all over again. I did LOVE this couples love story the most so far. They had a tough times & a tough fight! In newer books you get snippets of their relationship but nothing compared to this. Sofia is feisty , spunky, and stands up for herself. Even if she’s small I think she could make any of these grown mafia men cryyy! Safe to say she’s a fan favorite!! Overall story was action packed, lots of drama, some anxietyy for me lol, lots of cute sweet moments, and lots of passionate moments! 10000 stars on this one!!

What a cute romance to start out the summer! This was the first book I read by the author, I am truly impressed by her writing style and her ability to create relatable and lovable characters.

As many women before her, Bree has been hurt by many men with only one intention: sex. The boundaries she sets for herself are ones I feel many of us have set in the past to keep us from further heartache. She meets Nate and is quick to decide not to date him due to the fact that he is too similar to the other men she has sworn to stay away from. She then meets Steven, who appears to have everything she is looking for, but is he really the one she should be pursuing? Only reading will let you find out! Definitely can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Bree, like many women, has had her share of crappy dates & boyfriends. And like some of us, she has decided that she needs to find new ways to meet people. Kudos to Bree for starting to play tennis, trying new foods, and going with the flow.

I can totally relate to Bree, dating is hard at any age but after college I think it’s even harder. You don’t quite have your tribe (maybe they moved away or you were the one to move) and feel somewhat lost. I really thought Bree was kind of smart to have specific things to look for in a man. But at the same time, you can’t judge one person by noticing the small little things others did in the past and you certainly need to see the big picture!

As Bree is navigating her dating world, two men seem to be good possibilities: Nate and Steve
Which one will she pick? Is there anything she’s missed along the way? Will she finally figure out the right guy for her?

Collateral Damage: A Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite Book 6)Collateral Damage: A Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Collateral damage picks up shortly after Ruthless Heir ends. This is the long-awaited book that is Trey’s story. Trey always comes across as much softer than his family but in this book you discover that he is every bit as protective as the rest. He finds himself in an unpredictable scenario and watching him come to terms with the fact that the love he lost may not have been a once in a lifetime love makes this story pull the heartstrings more than any other book in the series. Enter Hailey who it seems has never really known true love and you find yourself desperately waiting to see what will happen. With her in danger Trey is forced to make hard decisions not just about how he currently spends his time but the future. You get to see all of the sides of Trey in this book and it makes you realize looking back on the rest that this silent hero is the backbone in more ways than one. I loved his interaction with Sandy and his siblings. I once again found myself rooting for this couple and that they would find happiness like the couples before them. I think the author does a tremendous job of giving you so much backstory and insight to each character while still holding back a little. If you enjoy a true romantic suspense with lots of action, some romance, and some humor thrown in then you will absolutely love this entire series and I highly recommend picking it up today.

Mermaid and the Ice Cube NecklaceMermaid and the Ice Cube Necklace by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is such a cute book for younger kids. I read it with my 7 year old who LOVES mermaids. This book is a great way to add a little science into your kids life without them even realizing that they are learning something! The book is about a pair of friends (Maia and Fig) who are out on a picnic together. While on the picnic they blow holes into ice cubes they brought for their lemonade, so they can make a necklace for Trizzie the mermaid. One of the girls notices that the ice cubes that were in their cup were melting faster than the ice cubes they blew the holes into. “That’s Science!” was the other’s response. How cute right?! The book also adds in more information on other forms of water at the end. My daughter really liked the book. I feel adding in small bits of information like this helps kids retain it for later when they learn more about it in school. I’d personally recommend this book for kids ages 3-8.

Unlikely to Tell (A Parker Lake Novel Book 4)

I knew I missed my friends in Parker, but didn’t realize how much until I cracked open the book and started reading. Felt like coming home and I squealed in happiness when Kelda made her first appearance.

I have loved each of the couples individually and together but Kelda is by far my most favorite character and old lady I have ever read about and I hope I’m a quarter as amazing, flamboyant and not caring what the world thinks as she is. She is my old lady goal.

We finally get to know Karen and she didn’t disappoint me in the least. I hate how she isolated herself but so happy she met Breckin and was dragged into their group kicking g and screaming.

Brody, oh Brody.  I hate he felt like Parker was the place to avoid at all costs and lost all of that valuable time with his Dad and Sister, but oh so happy he found his way home.

I love everything about this book, series and author.  Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

This series is continuing to pull me in, I loved this book right from the start.
I was excited to get Karen’s story. Karen is a teacher who has some pretty high walls in place, that is until she meets Brody. Brody has returned home and things get very interesting. Lets just say the first face-to-face didn’t go well and Karen’s opinion of Brody isn’t the greatest. As time moves forward things do change between them and I really enjoyed reading their journey.

We get humor, drama, and so much more in this great read. I loved seeing the characters from previous books. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I was done before I knew if. If your looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today.

This is the 4th book in the Parker Lake series and it is just as captivating as the others. These books can be read as a standalone but if they are read in order it gives you more of a complete idea of the characters and their connections to each other in the small town of Parker Lake.

Brody returns to Parker Lake after something happened in his big New York Life. Reluctant to return he comes home hoping to refind the man he used to be. What he doesn’t anticipate finding is love in the form of his sister’s friend Karen.

Can a chance meeting in a supermarket be the start of something special and magical for them both? Will Karen’s feelings for Brody as being an arrogant show off stop her opening her heart to him? Why is it that Brody can’t get this quiet woman from a country town out of his mind? And can they both reveal their pasts to build a future together?

He is my favorite of all the characters. A strong, engaging character that is supportive of others. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. The author did a great job of details to make me feel as if I was right there with the characters. This is a fast paced, engaging story that has great growth and is hard to put down. You don’t want to miss what happens next to Thorfinn. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read the other books in this series and find them all adorable and a great way to teach kids about different things. In this case, the book is about overcoming fears and worries. This book starts with Jake out on his normal neighborhood trail when he meets up with his squirrel friend Neet. As they continue along the trail they find some tracks that they don’t know. Neet thinks that they’re from an alien from another planet! Jake comes up with a few ideas as he gets more and more scared. They move off the trail and catch the new scent as they started to hear a rustling sound coming near. They both dive to their bellies in fear. The scent and noise pass, but neither friend had the courage to move their paws from their eyes and look at what the strange creature was that passed by. Jake runs home and doesn’t sleep well thinking about it all night. When Neet meets up with Jake the next morning she looks like she lost sleep as well. They plan on going out with some other friends to find the creature on Jake’s trail. Along the way they find a new friend. The new friend ends up helping them with the mystery! Jake feels silly about being so scared, but learns that just because the tracks were different and new didn’t mean that the animal they belonged to would be mean and scary. Such a cute book. At the end of the book it has more information to help parents teacher their kids about fears and some tips on getting passed them. It also talks about helping others, donating, meeting new people, and appreciating differences in others as well. I would defiantly recommend this book to younger kids ages 5-10.

Oliver: A Story about AdoptionOliver: A Story about Adoption by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great teaching book for younger kids. Being adopted has many struggles that can come up. It teaches kids that many people imagine different lives when they are in trouble and/or upset and that it is normal. Especially when you’ve been adopted and don’t know much about your birth family. The book follows an adopted lizard named Oliver. Oliver is playing and climbs a little tree that he is pretending is a pirate ship. The tree is young and because of Oliver’s weight and the tree’s flexible branches he falls overboard onto the grass and hurts his hip. As he’s in his room upset and thinking about how to play more safely he thinks about his birth parents. He imagines many different things. He thinks about a different life that he could be living if he wasn’t in his room upset. It’s a cute book and the pictures are fun. My now 7 year old enjoyed the book very much when we read it together at bedtime. It was also a great book to read and then talk about adopted families and how other kids may feel.

Oliver is a young boy who lives with his mummy, daddy and goldfish and he likes to play pirates in his street, but one day when he decides to climb the maple tree which looks like a mast, the branches aren’t strong enough to hold him, so he falls down onto his hip. When his daddy comes out to see if he is ok, he talks to Oliver about playing safely and send him up to his room to think about what has happened. While he is up there Oliver dreams about what it would be like if he was living with his birth parents, what would his life look like? Would it be exciting like a trapeze artist, or a scientist? Do other people wish for another life and what should Oliver do with all these thoughts?

This is a story which talks about a challenging subject in a fantastic way, which children of all ages can understand whether they adopted, or not.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I really don’t know where to start with this book. It is very rare I read a book and feel completely overwhelmed with emotion as I have with this book. It is mainly about a man who has been to war, fought to protect his country and is left with PTSD and the impact it has not only on him but his family and those around him.
I have heard of PTSD before and I kinda understood it however this book has taken that understanding to a whole other level. My heart literally breaks for our lead character JP. You feel every emotion he and fear he goes through. The author writes it in such a way it is if your feeling these emotions yourself. The feelings of guilt for now reacting to save his fellow man on the battle field to complete feelings of hopelessness and terror at the simple noises and sounds of everyday life.
We also see the story from his wife’s side to. How she is desperate to save the man she loves and how desperately she wants him back to be the father her son remembers.

Also from this there is also an event happening in the world that isn’t too far fetched that you think it will never happen. Could this impending disaster be enough to bring JP back? Or will his demons to be too much to over come that the result of this event will have no impact on his already devastated life and family.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jacob has done extremely well in delivering an emotional Military thriller story that shows the effects of a cold hard war not only on the outside but deep within the mind that has been scared. A fight that continues long after the war has ended. But the lack of support for these men and women who sacrifice and often get nothing in return blows my mind.

The story of Sergeant Grimm coming home after witnessing the atrocities of war is insightful and well executed and the plot is well thought out. Trying to fit in in a world that is no longer familiar a world that no longer fits him.

PTSD is a psychological war within itself and once locked in it is hard to escape. I have battled this disease for many years. So, this story hit home a lot. It is a disease that affects not only the sufferer but everyone around them. But what is sad that if the disease is not visible like a broken arm, then many do not understand the fight within.

You need to grab a copy and dig in to a story that is anything but flowers and sparkly things it is.

Despite the dark nature of the title, this book is actually full of hope for someone living with PTSD. The main character learns to accept that he has issues once he has reentered civilian life. Realizing that his grandfather also lived with PTSD, he eventually decides to get help, with the support of his wife, his grandmother, and his young son. The author weaves in real stories of PTSD from real people, as well as some examples of what group therapy might look like. Set against a backdrop of climate change and electromagnetic changes, the author skillfully draws the reader into his amazing story. This book is excellent as a stand-alone, but I was thrilled to learn that it is also the first in a series!
