My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What another great science learning book in this series. This is such a great tool to help young children learn science. The characters are well written and are able to draw the young child’s attention and aid in their learning process. The author does a great job to to engage the young readers imagination and aid in their learning. The author simplifies the subject and makes it easy to understand. I really recommend this series to anyone who has young children and wants to get their children into loving learning. Definitely worth the read.

Caged Fire by L.M. Preston
5 Stars

Caged Fire follows EmVee, a girl who has a mysterious past on her continuing journey to find her family’s secrets with the help of some new friends. One day, someone from her past reenters her life. From there, she struggles between finding her family, figuring out the family secrets, and figuring out if she could trust this person from her past.
Full of relatable characters, Caged Fire keeps the reader guessing and intrigued. Caged Fire is unique and there was not a single moment I did not like. Emotions such as confusion, love, mistrust, betrayal, and others are clearly portrayed and makes the reader feel right along with the characters.
Caged Fire is a must read. It is a quick, fun read that will keep you guessing. I highly suggest reading the prequel Insatiable Darkness first, as it sets the stage for Caged Fire, but you would not be entirely lost if you decided not to. In all, Caged Fire is a must read!

Another wonderful installment in the Antipodes series. Cam, Lae, Freya and the rest of the groups under the domes return for more adventures. The characters are so well written that they could be your next door neighbors. The whole mystery of the antipodes fascinates me so the series has been attention keeping for me. The characters have also drawn you in because you find yourself trying to figure out who’s good and who’s bad? Amazing series! You really should give it a shot.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second  book in the Antipodes Series and it was just as intriguing as the first book. The characters are well developed and the book is easy to read. The story keeps you hooked all the way through as you follow the journey of the characters as they adapt to their new way of life.

Cam has matured in this book and after hearing that someone he loves could still be alive he sets out to find them. The journey is challenging and makes him question things he knows and thinks about love and loyalty. The main question is if given the opportunity to redo life would you take the same course with the same mistakes or would you change your plans maybe for the better or maybe for the worst.

It’s a really thought provoking theme and set in time when the world is destroyed by a disease  and only few people surviving its an interesting concept.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The Mermaid and the Watery Magnifying Glass” was a cute story. Friends, Fig and Maia, are building a stone tower. They get some help from Maia’s mermaid friend, Trezzie. Fig shows them how to make a water magnifying glass to look at the stone Trezzie gave them. I love the characters in this story! Fig and Maia seem to have a close friendship, and Trezzie adds an element of imagination. I did not read the other books in this series, but still found this book enjoyable on its own. I recommend this story for elementary age children, especially children who love science.

Enemies of DovesEnemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘Enemies of Doves’ is one of the best debut mystery/suspense that I have read. You can feel the power coming off of it. Told between two timelines, the plot so perfectly intertwines itself that the twists and turns just flow with it. This is an emotional story that will take your breath away. The story of two brothers and the girl they loved as told by the possible grandson of one of the brothers many years later. I was glued right from the start. The story is so well-developed that the author just naturally engages you with the characters. Joel and Clancy grab you from the start. You can’t put the book down because, like Garrison and Molly, you have to know what happened. This is a book so well-written that I hope there will be more from this author. I will be eagerly awaiting more. I am a new fan of hers. If you love suspense and mystery, you should read this one.

Holy Cow that is not what I expected at all. This is a Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I truly felt like I connected with the characters especially TJ. He loves big and I mean big he pretty much stole my heart from the beginning. This is a story about TJ and Kat and the journey they go on for love. Kat has had a lot of changes in a short time and is a single momto toby.Tj is an ex-football player. There may be some parts of the story that may be a trigger for some but if you can push through the story is worth it. The chemistry between these two is incredible and the love TJ has for Toby will melt your heart. Can Kat be the one who unlocks his heart? Can these three have a family like relationship? I don’t want to give to much away . This book is more than worth the read. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Amber Waves of GraceAmber Waves of Grace by Jessica Berg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love me a good, for lack of a better word, “smut” book. This was quite the opposite which I found rather refreshing. I’ve read some religious romance books before and they’re usually quite sweet but really dry in the romance department. Which isn’t a bad thing just not usually my thing but I like to give all books equal opportunity before I judge them. Boy am I glad I did.
Amber Waves of Grace was very sweet but not too sweet. I like that there was several “Love stories” going on in the story. My favorite was between main characters Aaron & Corrie. I loved being able to see how they would get passed the past and the age difference. I loved the growth and healing that happened between the characters. There was some suspense and mystery that made the story more interesting. All in all a great story. I absolutely loved it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Watcher is the first book in the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet by A.L Morrow. It takes ‘Romeo & Juliet’ and gives it a bit of a twist. This retelling comes with a MM paranormal romance and celestial spin which was definitely an extra element of interest for me. It’s full of fantasy, forbidden love, banter, humour, action, drama, celestials, demons, tension, and agendas.
I don’t want to give too much away and spoil it for you, because if you love your retellings with some fantasy and a sexy twist- then you are definitely going to want to read this story for yourself.
The story is set to continue in the next instalment…. Can’t wait! Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, A.L. Morrow!

Her desire to assist others saw her working in international development before realising that her passion lay in education. She holds Bachelor and Masters degrees from Monash University and enjoys reading, travelling, mythology, snow skiing, and attempting to live as sustainably as possible. She is owned by two, rather bossy, standard schnauzers and two rescue cats who co-manage her household.

 Eat a crumpet. Check. Say “bloody hell” in an English pub. Check. Solve three murders and fall in love? Definitely not on the list. But when England dishes up murder, even an American girl knows it’s time to channel her inner Agatha Christie. 

American Eliza Darcy travels to Merry Old England to partake in a Darcy/Bennet family reunion for one reason: to solve the estrangement between her father and uncle. Not long after Eliza’s arrival and exploration of the vast estate of her ancestors, a dead body surfaces. Murder and mayhem replace afternoon teas and flirting with her British heartthrob. Eliza has every intention of keeping her snoot out of official Scotland Yard business, but when clues to the murder begin to merge with her investigation into her family’s rift, her inner wannabe sleuth self-activates. 

With the help of her batty great-aunt and the sexy Heath Tilney, Eliza hurries to untangle the web of lies and secrets. As corpses start to pile up faster than the clues, Eliza fears the estate’s family graveyard will swallow another body: hers.

Caged Fire is Book One in The Vigilant series by L.M Preston. It comes after the novella length prequel that set us up for the series.
This story continues what we started in the prequel and is another intriguing YA fantasy with even more going on for EmVee and co. She is in the thick of things here, facing challenges and situations she never even contemplated only a short while ago. Events have left her shaken. Now she has little choice but to confront the past, monsters, and so much more- life is about to test her like never before.
I wonder where we go from here. So, I’m off to explore Book Two…
Happy Reading!

KISS A THIEFKISS A THIEF by Marina Hanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Kiss A Thief by Marina Hanna is a fun contemporary romance with an insta-love aspect to the story- as well as sizzling chemistry, steamy encounters, humour, tension, crime and investigation, a little mystery, trust issues, and angst.
Billionaire Dylan Knight meets Mia Harris and the sparks fly right from the get-go. They can’t get the other off their mind and soon find themselves on the insta-love train to forever after. But are there hidden agendas at work? Was there an ulterior motive to their meeting? Is one being set up to take a fall? Because when theft occurs, they are both set to lose.
I really liked Dylan and Mia, I thought they were really great together and I didn’t mind that they fell hard and fast. I connected with them easily and was invested in them and the outcome of their story right from the beginning.
I have read a few of Ms. Hanna’s books now and have loved them- but unfortunately this one didn’t have the same effect on me as the others did. I really wanted to be wowed, like I was with the others, and I wanted to adore this book so badly, but ended up just a little disappointed. I felt that the beginning of the story was a little slow to get going… but then the last part felt rushed as threads were ‘tied up’ a little too quickly and conveniently. Things that were made quite an issue in the story suddenly didn’t seem to matter much anymore, or were brushed over/aside. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the story, but felt it wasn’t as ‘strong’ as some of her other books.
This story also introduces us to the characters who will get their own books in the future- setting us up for at least two more books. I am looking forward to ‘Before You Say I Do’ (Liam and Emma’s story) and ‘My Crazy Heart’ (Zack and Melanie’s story).
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Marina Hanna!

Cam doesn’t think things are gonna get bad. Then a virus hits the water and they can’t contain it. He then finds that he’s going to be in a group of handpicked people. They might be able to find the cure and how to contain it. The quote I chose for Cam is: “I guessed that, but what do they think we can do to help? We are half a world away. Are they looking for more lab technicians? It isn’t my field. Yours either, come to think of it. Electrical engineers rarely solve biological problems. Besides, why take my blood for that?”

Someone Exactly Like Me (Wounded Hearts #1) by Debbie Cromack

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Someone Exactly Like Me is a great book. It’s also the first book in the Wounded Hearts Series. This book will have you hooked and it’ll be hard to put down.

Destiny is an indie author and is struggling. Writer’s Block can be a hassle and it can hit at any moment. Destiny’s thirtieth birthday is a big one. Her friend takes her out only to have her meet at the studio to pick an outfit. Once there she’s thrusted into the arms of her dream man. Can she let the wall around her heart down? Can they make it work? The quote I chose for Destiny is: “Okay, I admit it.” I hold my hand up in defense. “For a second, in my drunken head, I thought he was going to kiss me. I mean, his gorgeous face was inches from mine and his lips were right there. I’ve had dreams about a hot moment like that. I think I stopped breathing. Then I realized, of course, that he was doing that polite Italian kiss-on-the-cheek thing. How do you not end up sleeping with these extremely hot men you’re surrounded by all the time?”

Nicco is rising to fame and fast. The movie made him a huge star. Now he’s working on his music. Meeting Destiny wasn’t part of the plan. Doing a mock photo shoot with her has him wanting more. Spending two weeks with her isn’t enough. Can he prove that he’s not the playboy media makes him out to be? The quote I chose for Nicco is: “What scares me is that I know I’ll never be a good husband or a good dad. So, I don’t bother getting involved in relationships and wasting anyone’s time. It’s not fair to the other person to invest their time, their effort, their heart in something that has no chance of becoming anything.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

A Romeo and Juliet story that has angels and demons AND promises a happily ever after?! I cannot wait to see how this story goes… Jace sounds like mister all powerful, mysterious in his pain and struggle.. but to see him go on the defense of those being hunted is amazing.

I love how strong and protective a character Jace is with whoever he’s around. Even when he’s with his lovers, he tries to distract them from their pain and help them. Genuinely wants to do better for them than those who came before.

Cyrus is just brilliant, smart, and intelligent. He has that way about him. Everyone loves being around him, and when he and Jace meet they are amazing together.

Like any good romance novel, there’s just the right amount of drama, charm, and action to keep me going. I definitely love this book, and I look forward to the next!

What an incredibly well written novel! I was tangled in the mystery this story held. I couldn’t have put this book down even if I wanted to.

I got completely and utterly lost to this book and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from it! Family secrets, deception, envy, and jealousy all wrapped into a young mans search for a place to belong and a family seemingly lost in the wind. I couldn’t recommend enough!!
