For quite a short book this one really packs a punch. It was a great second chance romance and I loved the main characters. They had such a great chemistry even in the face of a complicated past. It felt like the story really supported them and their journey.
Although this is the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone. However, I would definitely recommend reading them all just because of how good they are. This book is intriguing, fast paced and exciting. I really did enjoy every second of it and cannot wait to read the next one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A new to me author, her writing style definitely impressed me! Writing a great historical fiction novel is hard to do, but she achieved it in this cute story about Rhia and The Prince of Wales. Rhia is a fiercely independent 16-year-old who is put into an arranged marriage with the Prince, and both have ulterior motives into entering the courtship. It takes awhile for the two of them to warm up to each other, but eventually Rhia realizes something. She has to choose between her village and the man she promised not to but eventually fell in love with. What will she choose?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a good read – I really enjoyed it. I loved Marley and Max! Even though their first encounter was only the one night there did seem to be this instant and genuine connection between them. I loved the added suspense in the story this was great and definitely kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next in Marley and Max’s story. The author had a wonderful and engaging writing style that certainly kept my attention throughout. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am certainly excited to read more from her in the future!

Yet again another wonderful read from this author! I loved Hunter and Selma! They were such wonderful characters to read about, there was just something about this book that made you want to keep reading long in to the night! It definitely had that can’t put down feel about because you just want to find out what is going to happen on the next page. The way in which the author writes she really does draw you into the story and the characters’ lives that in parts it felt a little bit like reality. I will admit this book is longer than your average read but it is so worth it in my opinion! Beautifully written with wonderful characters – a must read!!

Sharing His Nanny (Forever Our Girl, #2)Sharing His Nanny by Tori Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the second in the series and I did not read the first book and felt like I could keep up and follow along just fine. However, after reading this book I am definitely going to read the first book. The character development in this book is spot on for you would want in an erotic romance story line. There is plenty of steam to keep y0u turning the pages, making this a very easy quick read for anyone who loves this trope of books. There is emotions here that make you feel close to each character and you love seeing the growth that they go through while dealing with these issues. I felt myself getting caught up in the story line and not really paying attention to what was actually going on around me in my house. So my only disclaimer for this book, is to make sure you have time to finish this once you start or have someone who can make you food and bring you drinks cause you will not want to put it down. Side note, I even got angry at my family when the characters were going through things. So, you will feel the emotions from the book and they will be projected to the people you are around.

Things are Shaking (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Things are ShakingThings are Shaking by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Caspian shows his cousin Belinda how his invisible magic wand controls time, she wants one too. Grandpa just happens to have a spare one which he gives to Belinda and just as she starts learning how to use it the house starts shaking. An earthquake is causing books to fall from the shelves, furniture to fall over, and the clock to fall off the wall. Caspian, Belinda, and Grandpa must find a way to get themselves to safety.

This is a cute book for kids to learn about what happens during an earthquake and a bit about earthquake safety. The invisible magic wand allowing Caspian and Belinda to control time is a cute touch. The beautiful illustrations throughout the book really pull the story together and bring it to life.

After reading book 2 and 1 back to back, there is a lot of times Elinor shows humor in her investigation. Elinor wants to seek the truth in the murder of her father but the Duke always gets in the way of her case.

My kids love Nash mystery novels ever since I bought the 2nd book for them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved Byrd Nash. I make sure I follow her books. This story has a strong female central lead, it is always enjoyable when an author projects a strong female lead in 1800s with eccentric qualities. Elinor has a penchant towards ghost talking. She befriends another eccentric woman , who is a doctor. In the winter feast. There is an attempt to murder the king. There is a duke who is equally interested in solving this mystery. The forbidden romance brews between Elinor and the Duke. Social restrictions follow.
What not to like about it, nothing . Overall a very enjoyable read.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This books pick up on right where book 1 ends off but can be read as a stand alone. You don’t feel you miss too much.

This books follows newly promoted underboss Dominic who kidnaps Emilia, the rivals daughter. Emilia is a incredibly strong and independent woman. A line is crossed that they are not sure they can come back from.

As with book one I enjoyed the story but the repetitiveness is a bit much. I can only read capiche before it gets really old.

Underboss’s Retaliation is the second book in the series that flows seamlessly from the first book, Boss’s Vendetta. I love how the story goes from Salvatore’s story (the first book) to Dominic’s point of view. There are always multiple events going on to keep you on your toes. The main characters are dealing with their own issues and need to figure it out, this will keep you anticipating what’s going to happen next.

We never know what we truly have until we lose it. That is never more apparent than reading this novel. My first by the author and will not be my last! I read this as a stand alone and I am not certain that it was intended so, however I didn’t feel lost or like I was missing something. I will definitely be going back to read volume one and two and anything else I can find by the author. She has an attention grabbing thrilling style of writing that pulls you right in and allows you to feel as if you’re front row to all the events and rollercoaster rides of her novel. I couldn’t put this book down, and when it finished I was so glad I held out because it was just so dang good!

This is just one of many books that I have read by this author and enjoyed. Her writing skills and attention to detail give so much life to her stories. They are engaging and great books for any child. This is a story where an earthquake shakes things up and a magic wand is left to fix things. I enjoyed the characters because they are creative and unique. The pages are colorful and interactive. The author did a great job of bringing this story to life. This is a great children’s story that I highly recommend.

Married Blind is the second book in the King of Screen Series and is a Hollywood Romance/Contemporary Romance that can be read as a standalone. This is a new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out the other books in this series. I truly enjoyed reading this little rom-com the characters are fun and developed and make the story come to life. I found myself chuckling at Finn and Abi and their bantering back and forth. These two have amazing chemistry between them. Is there more to their marriage than just convenience? Can they actually have a HEA? Are their feelings real or part of the script? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Elinor is trying to have herself a good holiday when she finds that someone has targeted the king. Duke de Archambeau is also on the case and feels he can solve this mystery before Elinor. She’s being kept busy with other paranormal happenings as well but she is determined to find who is behind the plot against the king. The pace of this book was a little quick, however it never makes you feel like you’re missing out on any part of the story. The author does a great job building onto the story and the characters from the first installment. If you like paranormal crime and mystery this would be a great book to read.

When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought it was going to be a bit cheesy. A famous star joins a reality tv show to marry a non-famous, random girl he’s never met before. I did not account for how great this book was written! It’s so entertaining! There’s comedy, friendship, spite, sorrow, pain, and acceptance. There are so many layers to this story, and I loved it from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down, but I also wanted it to last longer. Read this book, there is something in it for everyone. And read it with the accents, so much better!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Married Blind is the second book in a series called Kings of Screen. Abi is just a regular girl, working three jobs to help her sister pay off her debt from her cancer treatments. Finn is a hot, playboy movie star with a lot on his shoulders and trust issues. They meet in such an unconventional way one needs the money for her sisters debt and one needs to save his reputation so they agree to get married at first site and see what happens three months later. I was so surprised by how much I actually enjoyed Abi and Finns story, all of the books in this series are standalone stories, I haven’t yet read book one but had no issue following book two. Once I started I didn’t want to put this book down and Finn had me hanging by a thread once he opened himself up to Abi and the ‘real’ Finn came out, if only we can all find one of those, lol. The tension and spice level throughout the book is pretty high and it made them seem so much more connected. I absolutely enjoyed this book!

I’m obsessed with romance mafia stories! I knew I was going to love this after reading the blurb and I’m SO glad I read it. Falling for your enemies daughter? YES PLEASE. The suspense, the action as well as romantic? SIGN ME UP. Dominic is the new underboss and he captures Emilia for revenge. Enemies to lovers is my FAVORITE trope so this book is 10 stars for me. The characters are phenomenal, the story is great. I couldn’t put this book down and I never wanted it to end. SO. DAMN. GOOD.

Marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes. This book hit the mark for everything needed. Humor, drama, love, angst, and the almighty when it’s right it’s right. Abi was a great down to earth girl and you can’t help but love her. Finn was the actor and bad boy who needed a touch up to his image. Together they both have things they need within the other and although random it’s a story where love is born.

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this first book, our main character, Madame Elinor Chalamet, is determined to find her father’s killer. It was this goal that led her to be trained as a medium by the elite Morpheus Society. Now she helps others as a female Sherlock Holmes type, while also trying to find leads about her father.

Our main male character is Tristan Fontaine, Duke de Archambeau. He often takes pleasure in denouncing frauds who claim to have medium abilities, and he has Elinor in his sites. Will he prove that she is indeed a fraud or will Elinor show him her skills are in fact real?

I love a snarky, strong heroine and Elinor definitely is that. The adventures, romance, humor, and amazing descriptions all add greatly to this quick read. If you think a female Sherlock who also may or may not be a REAL medium is your kind of story, then you should definitely pick this up. I honestly can’t wait to read more as this story kept me turning the pages.

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This paranormal mystery starts off with Madame Elinor Chalamet, our fmc from book one, wanting a little excitement as she’s been bored since her last case. Just as luck would have it, she receives an invitation from King Guenard for the Winter Revels. What starts off as a fun escape from the lackluster daily hum drum turns into yet another mystery to be solved as she finds out the King is being targeted. Tristan Fontaine, Duke de Archambeau, is determined to solve the case before Elinor. It’s through this competition of sorts we get to continue to see their sarcastic, snarky, and often humorous banter. We also get to see as feelings blossom between the two.

Byrd Nash has done it yet again. Her descriptive writing, amazing mystery plot twists, and humorous banter between characters has me wanting more. I love a strong, smart, snarky female main character and this series has just that in Elinor. Elinor often reminds me of a historical type, Charlie from Daryanda Jones’ First Grave series, as she solves cases, talks to ghosts, and is fine being alone despite starting to crush on a man. This is a fantastic series that has just gotten better in this second book. I honestly can’t wait to read more!

Imagine marrying a complete stranger, a celebrity at that…for a TV show. Abi and Finn go back and forth at first and Finn tries his hardest to keep his distance and not fall for Abi. He strongly believes she’s off limits and it’s hard for him to trust anyone. He’s had a bad experience with a woman and he assumes everyone ends up using him. Things could be so intense between them just as much as it was heart warming. I really do love the connection the main characters have, no matter how hard they try to fight it. Great story all around and I loved EVERY page. I love a good rom com with SPICE 🌶 I encourage every one to read this fantastic book if you love a good romance and a sucker for forced proximity!!

This was a wonderful story of first love. Krysta (Krys) is Paxton (Tank) younger sister and she has had a crush on Kasper as long as she can remember. They both don’t want to cause friction with Paxton so they do nothing about this attraction until she turns 18. Kasper is jealous when Krys gets asked out by someone else. He can’t stand it and kisses Krys. Krysta is on cloud nine and falls fast and hard for him. The two spend months together in secret trying to decide when they should tell her brother.

This is where the story takes a twist or 2 or 3…the events that follow had me shocked.

This is a SHORT MUST READ. I absolutely loved the characters and Krysta’s bold attitude.

Will they be able to let each other in to get to know who they really are? I couldn’t help but root for them to really see each other and realize how good it could be. This author did an excellent job pulling me into the story and connecting me to the characters. As the story progresses we get to see the characters make bad decisions and make some good ones that help them grow. I can’t wait to read what the author has in store for us next.
