This small town contemporary small town romance was definitely an amazing one. While this is the first book in the series it definitely won’t be the last one I read. The characters are amazing, the plot was so realistic and detailed that I simply couldn’t put it down. But with popularity and paparazzi constantly getting in the way can our main characters have the relationship that they want? You’ll have to read this small town romance to find our for yourself.

Jackson – Review by stephanie nicole
Overall – a good read with a storyline that works well with the character and plot drive. A dystopian fueled by modified foods and a deadly coverup that goes horribly wrong. It introduces many interesting concepts and a severe warning that many can just take and run with it. With a background in agriculture, there is often a lot of misinformation and misleading among these topics.
It was a good read in terms of the possibilities that can come from improper regulation and the misuse of power.

Kiki never expected to find love. Let alone with someone as normal as Eric, the mayor of Mustang Prairie.
Eric knows that being with a pop star is going to be rough, and as someone who values the privacy Mustang Prairie allows, it’s quite a change.
When Kiki finds herself pregnant, both her and Eric are excited, but it’s hard to feel like it’s real when your whole life has always been on display. Now Kiki must find a way to save herself from her agent and keep her new life safe from the paparazzi that comes with being a pop sensation. Can she move on from her past and will Eric be able to handle are her secrets?
With life growing inside her Kiki is forced to re-evaluate a lot of things in her life. Let it be Love is the story of two people, celebrities in their own right, falling in love and finding out that sometimes happy ever afters don’t go as planned.
This was a sweet story about how love can help guide you and support you through the tough times, the happy times, and the downright insane times. I feel like the characters were well built, and the town of Mustang Prairie really draws you in and makes you want to go and never leave.
I’m excited to read more about Mustang Prairie and the friends made along the way.

Jackson – Review by Tia Martel
Paige and the Reluctant Artist is such a sweet romance where two hurt individuals surprisingly find their way into each other’s lives. They both harbor some bad feelings from a past relationship which colors their opinion of everyone they meet.
Paige and Mark seem completely opposite from first glance as she is a sophisticated city girl, and he is a handsome painter from the country. They are brought together because Paige is an art curator for a very grand art gallery and Mark’s artwork is one-of-a-kind. She tries to persuade him to do an art show at the gallery, but he is adamant about staying in Montana and taking care of his rescue horses. Will she be able to convince him to share his breathtaking art with the world or will he send her back to the city with nothing but sorrow?
I enjoyed this cute love story because the characters are lovable but just a bit out of touch for me. I adore the relationship between Mark and his horses, but particularly with the main mare, Storm Cloud. I recommend this quick yet enchanting romance!

A Quirk of Destiny is a chilling dystopian read and I couldn’t get enough. I really enjoyed the scientific and political parts that were woven into the story. When the content is this realistic as well as relatable, you get pulled in and start wondering if this is something that could happen!
Calum has been trying to alert someone about the safety of this new modified food but his whole department was told to keep quiet. Calum does not accept this and wants to inform others, so they know the repercussions. The government seems to silence anyone who is coming forward with news they apparently don’t want leaked. People begin behaving in an odd manner and panic ensues. Everyone starts looking to Calum for guidance and he becomes a natural born leader in humanity’s most dire moment.
The chapters in the beginning are very short so it took a little getting used to but after the first few, they get more in-depth and incredibly interesting. I am very excited for the second book in this series and recommend getting this one as soon as you can!

Elle has always been different but she could never put her finger on why other than the obvious star shaped birthmark and purple eyes. After the death of the woman who raised her named Aunt Sara, she came across a box that was labelled with Elle’s name on it. When going through the box, Elle found a journal and a bracelet from her biological mother who died after giving birth. The journal was in a language she did not recognize and the bracelet glowed and had weird inscriptions in the same foreign language. Elle also felt a weird pain shot through her birthmark.
Over the next couple days, the feelings do not subside. A man, named Locan, approaches her and confirms she is indeed different. She is the lost princess of a Utopia called Prias. Her whole life is turned upside down. Learning the truth of her own family and the betrayal behind it, Elle and Locan know that she was meant to rule but can they take down everyone and everything in their way?
This book was a very fun read. I found Elle’s character to be very relatable. The author did an amazing job introducing each character and world building. I could not put the book down. I had to find out what happened next! I also really enjoyed that Elle wasn’t an 18 year old when she learned she was a princess. She was already an established woman with a career, making her that much more relatable to me as an adult myself.

Reading this book by Author Courtney Davis has been the best thing all day. She really knows how to keep you enthralled with her storytelling and world building. She keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for every twist and turn. I low-key wish I lived in this world alongside the main heroine just so I could go on an outerspaced adventure to another world.Even with all the danger she encountered to get there lmao. I’m going to go follow her right now to get first dids for any of her new books that come out!! Fingers crossed it’s more of this world.

This story seems like a dream at first. Getting paid to take care of an aging author, a chance to pick that person’s brain and listens to an accomplished story-teller. See? Sounds like a dream. But wait…there’s a twist. The house seems to have a story to tell as well. And then there’s the vision? The ghost? The guy that Roxanne can see and hear and speak to! What’s his story?! Is he a figment of her imagination due to her personal trauma? Can Roxanne save him unlike the others she couldn’t save? Will her life always be one traumatic story after another?
Famous aging author Claudette Grayson needs help. Help getting out her very last story so everyone knows the truth. Claudette is draw to Roxanne, but is there enough time to find the truth?
This is not my first story by this author and I always enjoy reading her stories. Definitely recommend this author and this standalone.

Oh My! How can this be the first time I have read a book by this author?!?! Could I have chosen a better book to start off with!? Oh, how fun this story was to read! Aimee is the coolest chick ever! She certainly doesn’t need anyone. Living the way she chooses, even if it isn’t the safest of neighborhoods. She has her friends and her skateboard, which I am surprised she hasn’t named.
When Aimee runs into Qadir things take a different turn.
“How many others were like Aimee; vibrant and capable, but just one unlucky moment away from complete disaster?” – Hits a little personal. So many people are just one unlucky moment, one car break down, one sickness, one unlucky moment away from complete disaster. Is there something Qadir can do to help, to encourage, to teach…
Aimee and Qadir have an instant attraction but neither one wants to believe it. I really love this story and can’t wait to see what else happens to these characters and their friends/family!

Oh man who doesn’t love a good small town romance with a twist. The twist is falling in love with a pop star. Kiki and Eric are just so cute! I love the struggle in the book. Everything is way harder when you throw a famous person in the mix. Will they be able to beat the odds and find the love they deserve but never thought they would find?

I found this to be a fantastic sci-fi fantasy book that was action packed with just the right amount of romance in it. We have Elle, who thinks she is an orphan, who has always felt a disconnect with people on Earth and Locan, a warrior at odds with himself, because he has seen what happens when you lose control. Due to fate, or actually the Gods, they are brought together and have to learn to trust not only each other, but themselves if they want to survive the journey back to their home planet and save it. I felt the character descriptions and development was well rounded, I cared for the characters and wanted to see them succeed and I was worried when things got into tight spots for them. I was impressed at how the author was able to complete the story in one book without it feeling rushed or details were left out. The pacing was solid. The story definitely touched on some adult themes so not a story for children or younger teens. I definitely recommend it for a mature reader who wants to lose themselves in a fantastic story that is going to take them to another world!

This is an apocalyptic sci-fi which deals with current issues in an imaginative and exploratory way, while being a race against time with plenty of action and adventure throughout.
Let It Be Love is a contemporary romance about pop star KiKi and small-town mayor Eric. This couple truly cares for each other but fame makes it difficult to have the relationship she wants and Eric is reluctant to step into the public eye. This was a very realistic and mature portrayal of your typical romance book. I like how KiKi and Eric communicated and made an earnest effort to have a happy relationship. These two were committed to one another and it was lovely to see. This was a delightful read.

This was such a wonderful read, I could not put this one down! It pulled me right in from the start! I loved the writing style of this wonderful author as well! I was hooked, and in much anticipation as I read through. I could not get enough of the story or the characters. The book gave so much!
For starters, freaking loved Dominik’s character. He came off tough, but had a heart of gold. He was set in hos ways at times, but sometimes a heart can melt at the right moment. Loved the chemistry and the moments between these two. I found they met their match with one another, and showed what realism is between two people. Loved how things progressed, and the build up! The story itself had build up as well. Things came to light in the story and between these two. Lots of twists and moments that really impacted the story. I really enjoyed this book, and will be reading more by this author! Loved it!
Highly recommend this author and the books that they bring to life! I enjoyed this one very much, and I for sure will be reading more that they have created. High recommendation to author and book for sure!
Popov Boys is a very interesting book and had me hooked from the start. Dom and Leah i enjoyed how they met. Dom suprised at this situation he’s in. Leah aprhensp of this situation she’s wanted by some bad people. It has plenty of action and drama Suspense you want.

Saved by Love was a phenomenal read. It is book #7 in the Bellevue Bullies series. I’m gonna be honest….I never read books 1-6. I had just finished a book and was looking for something to read when I came across Saved by Love. The title alone caught my eye (I’m a sucker for a good love story). After reading the synopsis and some of the reviews I figured out I could read this like a standalone, I did, and I’m sooooo glad I did. It is such a good story! I’m not gonna say too much since I don’t wanna give anything away. I will say is, the storyline is amazing, the characters are great and loveable, if you decide to read this be prepared for all the emotions! My favorite thing about this book was the “Mental Health” issues. I have never read a book where the author allows the characters to openly say “Hey I have Mental health issues and It’s ok” or “I have mental health issues and I need help”. I feel like mental health is so important and needs to be talked about. I give the AUTHOR 2 BIG HIGH FIVES for touching on mental health related issues and showing how people struggle through them and how they can over come some of those. I am definitely going to have to read 1-6 now!!!

The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons is the second book in the Antipodes series. For me this is a series that really does need to be read in order so you can fully appreciate what is happening. I found this book to be just as detailed and well thought out as the first book. I really love how it makes you think about what it is trying to do. It really helps to draw you into the story even more. Even after reading this book I’m really not sure what I would do if I had the chance to do things over. It is one of those questions that I don’t think you would truly know the answer to until you had to decide. This book in detailed and comprehensive and a really great read. I would highly recommend this series!

Having read other books by this author I was excited to pick up the next one from her, and the first in a new series. Although not my favourite book by her this story is exciting g, fast paced and filled with so much drama it will keep you on your toes. The author has packed so much into this story, there really is never a dull moment. I enjoyed the overall premise of the book. I could easily see what the author was trying to achieve and I think she managed to write a strong book. This is a good start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next book.

This is the first installment in this series. I haven’t, until just recently, gotten into apocalyptic, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it type books. I actually almost passed on this one. I am SO GLAD I didn’t!! If you like conspiracies and mile-a-minute action, you’re gonna love this. If you’re a reader who loves to compare fiction to what is going on in the real world, this is a fun one…it’s also kind of scary, in that regard. The characters are what make a great story, for me. If character interactions and dialogue seem contrived or disingenuous, it’s hard for me to buy into the story. The writing in this is seamless between action and character involvement, which makes for a “smooth ride” all the way through. It’s easy to get caught up in the story and pretty soon hours have gone by. There is no “just one more chapter” thinking with this book. I highly recommend this book!

KiKi Ramirez is living the life as a pop princess. She’s gone on world tours and met many famous people. She has the world at her fingertips. It’s show time and she’s stepping into the cage that will lift her high above the crowd of her adoring fans but she’s feeling dizzy, like she might actually get sick. Next thing she knows, everything turns black.
Eric loves being the mayor of his small town Mustang Prairie, but he loves Kiki more. Why can’t she see it? He’d love to make more of their relationship but he doesn’t want all the paparazzi that comes with dating an international superstar. Is there a balance in all of this?
Life for Eric and Kiki is about to change in ways that they could never imagine. Can both of their careers sustain all these changes and challenges being thrown their way? Can love win over their hearts?
This was an enjoyable contemporary romance to read in an afternoon. The characters are loveable and realistic. I had no idea this book was part of a series, which is awesome, because I can go back now and read about some of Eric and Kiki’s friends! This book was easy to read as a standalone but knowing I can read more about the other couples gives me even more reasons to love this author!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Most of it occurs over the course of a few days. Jane does a very good job creating the characters although some of it was very repetitive. I feel like I know them. I’m very happy with the way the story is ended. We never forget our first loves and sometimes it’s our only love. By the end of story I believe everyone had been healed emotionally and were truly happy. It’s definitely a feel good romance.

After a failed relationship with a former client, Paige swears to keep things strictly professional moving forward. When she discovers a new talent for her boss’s art gallery to represent, she goes to Montana to meet with Mark, the artist, and convince him to sell his work at a show. Mark, who doesn’t need the money, just wants to stay on his ranch and continue his rescue efforts for old horses that would otherwise be put down. Painting is a hobby and release for him, but he’s not interested in Paige’s offer. The woman, however, he’s intrigued by, despite his own previous heartbreak dealing with an ex-fiancee, whom it turns out was only in it for his money. Paige feels a connection to Mark, but holds to her vow to keep things professional, at least for some time. The pull for both is strong, but Paige continues to push away, despite convincing Mark to do a show with a guarantee of a large sum of money to help his rescue efforts. She has to fight her personal reservations while staying with him as he completes the paintings, which becomes more difficult with time. By the time the show comes around, Mark tires of the mixed signals and overhears a conversation that jeapordizes any chance of the two finding a happy ever after. Only when his rescue horse, the one that he painted and caught Paige’s attention with, falls ill do the two come back together. The question becomes if the pair can overcome their stubbornness and history to finally accept one another and begin a true relationship. This was an enjoyable read with lovely characters. The author did a nice job of weaving the personalities of the animals into the story, as well.

This if the first book of this series and it’s amazing! It’s a story of a demon hunter name Rovena. It’s slow at the start then it picks up. I can’t get enough! It’s riveting, action packed. The descriptions are stunning. Seriously go read this right now!!

This is a great contemporary romance set in a small town. Although part of a series, each book in the series can be read as a standalone. I hadn’t read any of the other books and didn’t feel that I was missing any necessary information. I am intrigued by the other couples who are part of this book and would like to read more of them as each couple adds something to the dynamic of the group. In this book we get the story of small-town Mayor Eric and his secret romance with pop superstar Kiki. I adored both of these characters and I loved reading their story. It takes you on a roller coaster journey, taking you through every emotion possible and I can say that I really loved the ride. I do say that one mark of a great character writer for me is how much you dislike the bad guy in a book and I can safely say that I really really hated Louie. What a horrible, despicable man. This is a really great story, which flows well and keeps you entertained and wanting to keep turning the pages. Definitely recommend.

Jackson – Review by Karyn Taylor
When she was five, Zoey Taylor, got lost in the woods she was found but nightmares have been her constant for the last ten years. Zoey has a close knit family but she finds it stifling at times, but what she doesn’t realize is that secrets are surrounding her. When Gabriel Stanton, a wealthy philanthropist shows up Zoey finds out the carefully crafted bubble she has surrounded herself in is a bout to shatter.
I really enjoyed this one, the narration is done extremely well. Liked the concept of this story and was pulled in right away. Kept me guessing. Great beginning to a new series.

Let me start out by saying that this is a precious book, and I whole heartedly enjoyed every moment of it. This book revolves around the romance of Katie and Chase, and their history together and getting a second chance. Katie had big dreams after high school, and left her small town, her friends and family, and the boy she loved to follow them in the big city, being too stubborn to ever look back. Now, she finds herself visiting her hometown for a wedding last minute, and the bride surprises her with her first love as her date. Chase fought hard to forget the pain he felt when Katie left, but as soon as he saw her, he knew his heart wasn’t as hardened to her as he had hoped. Katie thought she had buried her feelings for Chase at the bottom of her heart, but as soon as she saw him, she melted. This is the story of their lives crossing again after 10 years apart, and a love that lasts through the years. This wholesome and heartwarming book reminds us that there are second chances in life, with friends, family, and sometimes, even in romance.

Yes! I love the idea of Elle’s mother running to give up her life for her daughters, for her ‘Aunt’ Sara for doing everything she could to raise her to be her own person and to protect her from the truths until she knew it’d be time for L to take that next step to becoming who she needed to become (whether this was known or not.) The novel itself is a well written adventure, I love when tales are told from different narratives, and how it moves at just the right speed as to keep the reader immersed in its pages.
Strong female lead, strong supporting characters, romance and suspense all woven into this adventure and I certainly made sure I took the time to focus and really focus on the story. I feel like all of us have a certain ‘ I don’t belong here’ aspect to our lives, and how L feels, i felt very much akin to. I very much enjoyed the descriptive nature of the worlds, and the adventure that unfolds. If you’re looking for a lovely quick read, but not too quick, I would recommend giving this a go. I know I will be looking for more by this author soon!

I love the books by this author. The stories are always so beautifully written and the characters and their story always captivate me. And this books was exactly the same.
This books is a story about second chance love and all the challenges that come with it.
Kate is our leading lady. She is a strong independent woman who knows what she wants. So when the chance at the job or her dream comes up she gives up everything to take this job. By everything I mean family, friends, the love of her life and the place she calls home. However the reality isn’t always as good as the dream and when she finds herself returning home she feels like she could have been missing out all along and everything she wanted could have been right in front of her.
When she bumps into her old love Chase the feelings for Kate resurface all over again but Chase isn’t the boy she left behind. He has changed and has never gotten over the rejection from Kate all those years ago. Another person who throws themselves into his work Chase doesn’t have time to relationships and with the added pressure of taking care of his nephew, women as the last thing on his mind. Well all but one woman.
When they meet again at a wedding the chemistry is still there, but can they make their lives work to see what could be or will life and challenges stop them from once again being together. Does love work any better the second time around or is it destined to just repeat the past and end in heartbreak?
