Aloha Series Box Set Books 1-3Aloha Series Box Set Books 1-3 by Jill Brashear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series of 3 stories are all based in Hawaii. The first two books are about surfers and while I would have enjoyed getting Bones’s story in the third book. There was definitely a story to tell about Claudia and Henry in book 3.
Keoni and Mary Lou were up first in Try Easy and it is a very sweet story. The start as strangers and she is visiting Hawaii for 2 weeks then heading back home to her boyfriend and the plan they have for their lives.
Keoni is never going to allow himself to fall for a tourist. But life has a way of raising its head and showing you that you are wrong.

Book 2 Try Me is Declan and Pearl’s story, him a professional surfer and she is a cigarette girl and surfing is a passion of hers. Their story is a fake relationship tale, where they end up falling in love. Both characters have lost someone they love to the waves that they crave. Can they make it ?

Book 3 is Claudia and Henrys story. Claudia is a bit part actress just trying to get a big break and Henry is a stunt man. Their story is also set in Hawaii and is just as riviting as the other two stories in this series.

You will fall in love will all of the characters and their stories and it will keep you turning pages

Kitties, Kafe and Kat-astrophes
Book 2 of A Kitty Beret Cafe Mystery series has Ellie hosting a cat show for the rescue kitties. As with the first book in the series this was a cute cozy mystery with fun banter and a zany story that has a pinch of romance. Detective Dare is right there along with the feisty feline Templeton. Loving this series and can’t wait to see what the crew gets up to next.

These were adorable! I love the themes of teamwork and camaraderie in both! The pictures were fabulous and dinosaurs are always cool! The kids I know will love them! Their parents will like them too, because with a strong focus on working with others and friendship, they demonstrate healthy skills and relationship traits while still having a good storyline to keep the littles interested.

The Prisoner of Paradise (Painted Souls, #1)The Prisoner of Paradise by Rob Samborn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intriguing
This dual timeline thriller had me engaged from the start. It is a multi-layered story, centred on soul mates and discovering events from the past. I loved the descriptiveness, the imagery of Venice and the pacing of the adventure. The relationship between Nick and Julia was not overly done and felt a bit forced at times but that could be due to the contrast to the soul mate connection. This is book 1 and it will be interesting to see where book 2 goes.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun read this book is! Jake is done with dating after yet another girl he was dating was only interested in his bank account. He is just so sick and tired of it all. At a poker night his friends talk him into going on some Blind dates where his friends choose the girls he will date. He agrees as long as they also go on dates as well. This opens up to the rest of the series which I personally am excited for. Anyway back to the story, the dates are held in a completely darkened restaurant adding new meaning to the term Blind date. As you can imagine this creates some interesting times for sure. I don’t want to say too much more about the storyline as I don’t want to give too much away. Just know that this very talented author created a great storyline and wonderful characters, both main and side characters, that I just can’t wait meet again in the next book.

Hi, I’m Wednesday Family. I’m a witch, and I’m in love with my best friend—Scratch that. I am addicted to my best friend—a panda shifter.

Ryker is the sweetest, most adorkable guy I know. Also, his body is a “weapon of Wednesday” destruction. I made the stupid mistake of enjoying the fringe benefits of our friendship, and he ruined me.

No other guy satisfies that itch like Ryker does. I know it can’t last since he has a mate somewhere, though I wish a house would fall on her and save me the trouble. I need to cut him off. The problem is that I don’t want to stop.

Goddess. I’m a horrible friend.

This series is so good! I loved reading about Hawaii and the characters lives there. I absolutely adore Lou and all of her growth! I have to say she is probably my favorite character out of all three books. Honestly there is a lot of character growth in all of the books but Lou really stuck with me. The descriptions of Hawaii are absolutely amazing and make you feel as though you are there. I would love for Bones to have a story and to know if things go back to Penny. These stories are very well written and I definitely want to read more from this author! They have a really great and easy story telling style.

My niece and nephew always love when I bring them a new Wickstrom story book; she is one of their favorite authors. This book was even more exciting for them, two stories in one. These stories followed Dino friends Conifer and Spike on two different adventures. Along the way the two learn about kindness, working together, and understanding just to name a few skills. The story is well written and with excellent illustrations. I would recommend this as well as Wickstrom’s other books for elementary ages kids, or kids that are struggling with their reading levels. Overall an adorable story with a moral.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This amazing book series allows you to travel to the Hawaiian islands, experience some whirlwind romances and live within the 1960s era. Brashear has an incredible ability in illustrating her words to truly transform the reader into her world of beauty, romance, and interpersonal relationships. These books were so enjoyable and easy to read.
Each of the books deal with a different story of characters caught up in their romantic whirlwind. Quite a bit of themes to be expected are drama, love triangle, being in the public eye, family connections, and many more. What I personally loved most about the book series was being transported to the 1960s vibe of Hawaii. I’ve never traveled there and it truly feels through reading their travels and exploration as the essence of the story takes place helps you enjoy a bit of paradise. Great beach read!

This story is told from a second person point of view which makes the story different. I liked the unique dating during a pandemic plot and how this storyline could metaphorically be compared to how one work l would feel dating in the real world. The dating life of the main character is dark but humorous at the same time! I enjoyed the dating game adventure and recommend this short story!

I Loved You Yesterday: Book One in the Trading Heartbeats TrilogyI Loved You Yesterday: Book One in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fantastic, emotional second chance romance!!!

Mavis and Josh were high school sweethearts who had a wonderful future planned together, that is until an unplanned pregnancy upended all those dreams. Mavis made a choice she thought would be best for all of them, but as it turned out, it wasn’t good for anyone. Josh went on to attain his dreams, but his heart never healed from the loss of Mavis and the questions left unanswered in the wake of her leaving him. Now, ten years later the past will collide with the future and that secret along with another bombshell will come to light, and the broken pieces of their hearts may never be put back together again.

I was hooked from the very first page, and I have truly been in a reading slump, and Julie Navickas got me out of it!!!! I was in love with most of the characters, especially the main three…Josh, his brother, Austin, and Mavis. They were far, far from perfect, but their imperfections are what made me love them. Their relationships were messy and complicated but full of love and forgiveness.

While this book does involve a love triangle, it is done so differently and so realistically. I could actually see why Mavis fell in love with both brothers, and she loved them in very different ways. Yes, she does make a choice! I believe that the flashes to the past clearly show the close relationship both Josh and Austin had with her and their genuine love for her.

Navickas is a phenomenal storyteller. She completely wrapped me up in the story and had me totally invested in her characters. On top of that, her writing is fantastic, almost lyrical! Can’t wait to see what happens in the next two books!

Hungry BusinessHungry Business by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Though very short, I feel like we were able to see a wide variety of things in this gothic horror tale. The way the author crafted this story makes dating shine in a more sinister, yet oddly relatable, light. At times, the dating game can seem like you’re risking more than just your self-esteem, as was shown in this book, and it’s easy to make the comparisons of sickness and rot – especially when it seems all the ‘dead’ are disguised as the ‘living’. And yet, you get pulled back into the mix of finding love for some compelling reason you can’t really fathom. I love how seamlessly this story weaves reality and metaphor and horror together with raw emotion and truth I feel really shines through to the reader. This wasn’t my first time reading this author’s works, and it certainly won’t be the last, but if you’re looking for a quick and slightly chilling read, you’ve found your book!

Any novel that combines art, history, mystery and action is my kind of book. Add in a love story that involves time travel (but much more than your average time travel!) set in the beautiful city of Venice and you have one of the best debut novels that I’ve ever read. The author does such an amazingly beautiful job of describing Venice that you truly feel like you are there. The characters are well developed, and I became invested in them from the beginning. All of this plus a surprise ending- don’t miss out on this one. As one reader stated, “think The DaVinci Code meets Outlander”.

This book was a great read. I enjoyed the storyline and the character development. This book is excellent if you like reading books from multiple points-of-views. It was nice to see how each of the two characters thought and felt at certain times.

In this book, you will fall in love with Greer. She is a strong girl that tries to take on all her battles alone and in silence—determined not to use others or the wealth they have. She gets thrown to the wolves by a person that should have shielded her. Then there is Beckett, the teenager that has it all. Money, status, friends, and a determination to never let a girl close.

What happens when two people from different worlds come together under one roof? Will there be sparks or fire? What if what is wrong feels right?

Want to know what happens with these two read and find out.

From Brick & DarknessFrom Brick & Darkness by J.L. Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I very much enjoyed this coming of age, YA, fantasy book with a dark twist and a side of murder. I enjoyed the characters and the relationships between them. I got a Harry Potter vibe from the 3 main characters, Baxter and his two friends Jason and Ashley. Baxter and Jason are best friends, who end up befriending Ashley who is the know it all at school and who they previously didn’t like. But when Baxter accepts the ring and unleashes his own Djinn, a type of genie, he is going to need some help in figuring it all out. I loved how all of the characters interacted with one another, and even though it was a fantasy book, the actions of the characters, felt natural and realistic. I really loved the relationship between Bax and his mom as well. The author did a great job with the character developments and how they matured and grew. Just as we think things are beginning to get wrapped up, the author throws another curve ball into the mix. This is a great novel for both teens and adults who enjoy fantasy with a dark twist.

River WitchRiver Witch by Cheryl Burman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An excellent combination of fantasy and history. This is the first book I have read by the author Cheryl Burman, and she did not disappoint. The story begins with the main character Hester, at 8 years old listening, talking and playing with the river. But Hester understands the river on a different level than the normal person, and she thought she was the only one until she met a mysterious man one day who said he could also talk to and understand Sabrina, the river. The man follows Hester throughout the years in her thoughts. There is a time jump, and then the POV changes back and forth between Hester and the mystery man, Aaron. Hester wants to learn about healing others naturally. There is a little romance added with Hester. This is not a straight away happily ever after, there is a good bit of learning and hardships Hester must go through. I could not put this book down and was constantly finding myself cheering for Hester to find her place, her happiness, and her own abilities. Cheryl did an amazing job with character development as well at describing the setting. I highly recommend this book!
