Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1)Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! From the beginning the author gets you to visualize the workroom at Becker Courier Service. You can feel the excitement and chaotic atmosphere of those who work at there. Aimee wheels takes the bet and the bonus to get a last minute delivery out in less than a half hour. What she doesn’t realize is this delivery will change her life when she ends up saving “Mr. Moneybags” and gets shot while doing so.
The story is well written, I connected with the characters, felt the ups and downs of two different worlds colliding in a romance, and the action and danger that Aimee and Qadir face throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this book and I’m looking forward to the next book in the Girls from the Street series.

Princess Of Prias
By: Courtney Davis
Review by: Susan Ratchford
5 Stars

Such a fun ride!!! Courtney Davis’s, Princess Of Prias takes you on a grand adventure through the cosmos. Growing up without a mother or father, Elle has been questioning where she comes from for a very long time. Not to mention the strange blue star shaped birthmark she’s always had. When Warrior Locan comes bursting into her room spouting nonsense about Princesses and faraway planets, it’s almost impossible to believe, until he mentions her mother. Hope for the answers to the questions she’s always asked herself drives Elle into Locan’s spaceship. On a mission to save the people of her home planet from her evil uncle Temis, she learns who she truly is, and why the rebels need her help.
I had such a wonderful journey with Elle and Locan! I loved their relationship and how it manifested. This was such a unique and fun read with some deep and intense moments, it made me want more!!! Princess of Prias is fast paced and addicting. I could not put it down! Courtney Davis’s great world building and fantastical detail made the story feel so real. Every character had such rich character development even minor ones, I really felt for Leda and what she had been through. I highly recommend this book!!

While this story isn’t usually my typical genre I saw the cover and read the synopsis and immediately added it to my tbr list. This story was sexy, fast paced, full of suspense, drama, and more. The author started out strong with chapter one and the character development and plot were perfect. If your looking for a suspenseful, fast paced novel for your next read I definitely recommend this one.

Suspense! This book is a real page-turner. From the very start, I was on the edge of my seat. I am utterly in love with Dominik and Leah alike. The character building was impeccable. The story is filled with secrets to be uncovered and unexpected twists. The sparks igniting made me feel warm all over. Steamy, passionate, spirited. What’s not to love?

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book that I have read by Grace Grahme.
She gives us a great story about Philip, who is Earl of Arburne and Anna who is his best friends sister. Anna is strong, witty and smart. I love that she doesn’t change who she is for anyone. Philip is as most see royals, very straight laced. (At least in the public eye.) The author gives you a good look at both characters sense of humor, heart and work ethic. A good glimpse at melding two different worlds. You will laugh, get frustrated and even start to think you know what is coming in some instances. As their relationship moves from friends to something possibly more there is drama but also some of the most swoon worthy scenes. I did learn quite of few Scottish words.

One of my favorite lines that had me laughing was “I’m crying more than a nun at a sinner’s convention.”

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is absolutely one to get you thinking. It talks on the topics of genetically modified foods and plants. And as we know this is a huge topic for debate even now.

In this we are faced with what could become a reality possibly some time soon. This is the first book in this dystopian trilogy. It also shows things such as the corrupt political parties being connected to this as well.

Although at the beginning it is very science driven and slightly confusing, once you get through it is a good read for sure.

I LOVE the cover art of this book. Admittedly it was what attracted me to the book in the first place, the author was a close second.
I have read several books from this author and as usual, this didn’t disappoint. The storyline was unique and drew me in from the first few pages. The book itself is fairly short and reads quickly, so not once did my interest fade. What I’ve come to love from this author’s writing is the strong, lovable characters you become invested in.
If you’re interested in a well written, captivating storyline… give this book a go!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this romance story that has a touch of suspense to it. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. One of the things I enjoy about this author is their writing skills. They are able to bring the story to life with ease and made me feel as if I was part of the story. This is a well written story about Aimee and Qadir. They are complete opposites but they do have one thing in common, someone is out to kill them. Will they find a way to love despite what life is throwing at them? I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry. They are great characters that added to the story for me. They certainly had me coming back for more. They are strong and supportive characters that made the story easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this paranormal story. This is one of my favorites by this author yet. I enjoyed how the author used their writing skills to bring the story to life.

Bobbi and Max are determined to solve the puzzle of this serial killer who is killing. What happens next you don’t want to miss it. They are great together and had me coming back for more.

Dominick has never,ever botched a job and all because of this crazy red head he has botched his first. After he takes her he realizes she is famous which doesn’t make the kidnapping any easier. As they spend time together even if its time not wanted on Leah’s part they become closer and the chemistry is off the charts. Will Leah be the one thing that ruins Dominick’s career. How in the world can he let a famous country star ruin him. Little does he know but she has secrets of her own. Will they be able to make a relationship work or will she turn Dominick in? Read this fun bad boy romance to find out.

Shield & Shade (Ascended Guardians Series Book 1) Audiobook by Misty Hayes – Review by Alison Risher

/0 Comments/in , /by

This was an absolutely fabulous listen! Quite frankly, it exceeded my expectations. The author had angels and demons as characters, yet remained respectful of traditional Judeo-Christians beliefs. The characters were amazing. Life is rough enough when you are a high school student, but having to navigate the hallmarks of teenage drama, in addition to supernatural elements, gives listeners an added sympathy for the characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be honest, I picked this novel up because I really love when the novels I read have a character with the same name as I do, even if it isn’t spelled correctly! I absolutely loved the plot of this adventure, and the way that the female lead, Aimee, is a strong, independent woman, that way because she had no other choice. She knows what she wants and goes for it, and puts her all into everything that she does. I love that about a person, and I really was able to connect with her throughout this fantastic read.

One of my other favorite things is that there aren’t any lulls. There seems to be something always going on, and not in a way that makes the reader feel overwhelmed or unsure as to what the real story is. The author has a wonderful way with words, the descriptive nature brings the reader in and doesn’t let them go, even after the story ends. I very much look forward to reading more about the Girls from the Street, and by this author. Well done!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG!!! If you haven’t read this book, my question is why. This book has everything, action, humor, drama, twists, romance, steam, turns and did I mention drama?? What a series opener!!!!

From the first chapter to the last, this book had me hooked. I almost threw my phone a couple of times when I couldn’t believe what was happening but I was calmed back down by a twist or something.

Aimee’s entire life has been on the street. She knows the ins, the outs, the highways, the byways, the no gos, and everything in between. She had to learn them to survive. Aimee has a small collection of the most interesting friends. She never knows when she will need one for something. One night when she is making a final delivery for the courier service she works for, she saves the life of a very important man, except she has no idea who he is.

He is Sheik Qadir Saif-Ad-Din, the heir to the throne of Jawahir. Qadir is instantly memorized by this tiny creature that shows more street smarts than his highly trained guards. Qadir knows that Aimee isn’t one that can be caged or is interested in the trappings of his title. Aimee is wild and free, like the desert wind. As the danger mounts around Qadir, Aimee must make some life shattering choices. But when Qadir is captured and being held hostage, will Aimee risk everything to help him?

This book was fantastic. I can’t wait for the next in the series. Idella is more than she appears to be?? Yep, I am hooked. I didn’t need another series but I am not letting this one go!!

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There is so much about this story to love. From the supportive family to the tender way the author handled anxiety to the understanding of Autism and so much more. This was my first novel in this series and by this author but I can see many more in my future.

Evan is hockey royalty. His father won multiple cups and is headed to the Hall. His mother owned a successful franchise but his sister owns the team. His twin and he were drafted to an elite team. Evan decides he doesn’t want to play anymore and retires only a few years after starting in the NHL. All Evan can do is think that his family is disappointed in his choices. Evan decides to go back to college and finish his degree.

Calli loves hockey and is familiar with who Evan is thanks in part to her brother-in-law being a NHL goalie. When Evan winds up being the athletic trainer for Callie’s gymnastics team, it gives her a chance to get to know Evan. Callie can’t stay away from Evan. Their connection is deep and instant. They start trying to be friends and it just goes from there.

There is so much that both Callie and Evan keep secret from the outside world. Each one has to be willing to let their walls down and expose themselves to make this relationship work. Can they do it? There seems like there are so many obstacles stacked against them.

Again, the way the individual issues, anxiety, cancer, Autism, overall mental health, family, trauma, are handled is amazing. I need to go back and read Nico and Aviva’s story. This author gained a loyal reader and I gained about 20 new books added to my TBR list. This story was great!!!! (in case I wasn’t clear about that before) Worth every minute!

A Quirk of DestinyA Quirk of Destiny by Catherine Greenall

Genetically modified food is suspected to be the cause of an aggression sickness that is wreaking havoc on the majority of the population. Calum gathers his unaffected friends and they set out in search of answers, safety and a new beginning – if the authorities don’t catch up with him first.

The unconditional friendships in this book made this read well worth it. There were quite a few characters to follow but they all had such purpose and were well thought out. The details regarding genetically modified foods gave the story an intellectual edge that I really enjoyed.

Calum’s continuous explanations to new characters they met along the way, while necessary, were a bit repetitive and the pacing slowed my reading motivation down in stages. I really did enjoy Calum’s rebellious side and his caring nature.

The ending was really satisfying and I NEED to know what happens next! I will certainly be picking up the next book in this trilogy. This was a good read and I would recommend it if you enjoy a bit of action with your food science nerd facts!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s where the Hunger Games meets The Walking Dead! There are so many great things about this book! It’s thrilling, scary, edge of your seat reading enjoyment!

First of all, I know this is a fictional book but I could see this really happening. Maybe it already is in other forms?!?! Calum is still dealing with the loss of his fiancé, Siobhan. We never really know why she took her life but I could only surmise after reading this book. He throws himself even more into his work for the Department but becomes more and more troubled by some of the research that he sees is going on. It’s not long before he finds himself on a journey to save not only himself, but others who are still very much like him in their thoughts and beliefs.

Moral of the story? Be mindful of what you eat. It might come back to haunt you.

I am excited to know that this is a trilogy and I eagerly await an opportunity to fit the other books in my reading schedule. There is something about Hannah that I did not like in this book and I have a feeling (actually I’m really hoping that my hunch is correct) that we might be seeing her again in a more prominent fashion.

This is an emotional and complex story, more so than I thought it would be as I was expecting a typical romance book when I started. But this book has a depth to it you don’t find with most romance books and pull that I hadn’t thought would be there.
The characters completely make this book. They are so well written. They each have their own story, their own voice, and I wanted to listen to all of them. I was invested in the book and the outcome and I couldn’t wait to see how things would resolve. This was a surprising read but a good one nonetheless.

This is a fun and entertaining romance story with some truly brilliant characters. I loved the connection between the 2 main characters and the banter they had between them. I thought they were so well matched and fit perfectly with the feel of the story the author seemed to be going for.
I always have a soft spot when any part of a book, or the characters, involve the UK, so for this to involve a Scottish lead, I knew I couldn’t resist. I thought the book was well written. It was easy to connect with and easy to read – I read it all in one sitting without realising I was flying through it that quickly! This is a great story and definitely one to add to the list.

What an adorable story! So much sweetness, love and wonderful characters! I really enjoyed all the ups and downs of the storyline. This is filled with fun times, uncertainty and a few secrets.

This is set in a cute small town. Small town stories are filled with quirky charming characters. This one is no exception and has strong sexy men and their kind sassy women who most have had their own happy endings. That makes for some good guys nights as women get togethers.

This story flowed along at a quick pace. I read it in about twenty four hours. I would read more from this author and series.

This book brought what is known as suspense, to a whole new level! I can not believe how this book went about, it was just so good! Action was at every page turn, and full of thrills an suspense!

Ok, as I said the suspense was real and a real page turner. What really hooked me was what the story gave me, and how there was more than meets the eye. When I thought I had things figured out with what went on with Angie, I was wrong, so wrong. I loved this book kept me guessing. And when you were given a little bit of what could lead to the truth, you were given a turn and twist that led elsewhere. The writing was sensational! I was very impressed from start to finish! Freaking loved this page turner book!

The book was a sensational read from start to finish. I had to keep reading to see what would unravel. I certainly must say its a must read, and without a doubt, a very high recommendation from this reader!

This was a very charming, lovable romantic book that I enjoyed very much. I’m familiar with previous books by this author so I was pretty sure I would enjoy it. She did not disappoint. This is book five in this wonderful series. I believe this is my favorite of the series so far because it includes a famous pop star and all the drama and glamour that goes along with it. This interferes with the romantic relationship on so many levels but is so understandable that sometimes you just feel sorry for the two romantic leads. And of course, being a small town, there are even more stumbling blocks in the way they encounter. It’s wonderful. While it’s not necessary to read these books in order I think that you will enjoy it more if you do. And they are all great reads, so you won’t be disappointed.
