Other People's Money (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 7)Other People’s Money by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good 4 star read. The series continues with more cases for Madelines team. It felt like I was reading several stories at once with all the clues and things they would discover. You’re on the edge of your seat waiting to see if they can solve all of the cases. We get adventure, mystery, suspense and so much more. Will they solve the cases before its too late? Overall this was a good read, I was pulled in right from the beginning. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. If you’re looking for a thrilling read that has you guessing throughout the book. 1-dlick and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Where Fire Meets Flame (Yours From the Ashes, #1)Where Fire Meets Flame by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A meeting of eyes, with a spark of interest, in the coffee shop – exactly what Riley Scott and Tristan Cain have – yet neither of them act on it, each for their own reasons. Yet, as fate would have it, they would see each other again. And so begins their story.

This story was well written with well developed characters and detailed words building. I would recommend this book to others. It was a quick, enjoyable read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Where Fire Meets Flame is the first book in the Yours From the Ashes series by Elena Kincaid. This is an engrossing contemporary romance, with suspense, mystery, action, danger, drama, intrigue, tension, emotion, twists, chemistry, and sizzle.
This is a short story, but it packs the punch of a much longer novel. It has a fast pace, and I finished the book in one easy sitting.
Riley is a strong independent and sassy private investigator. Tristan is a hunky firefighter who has a bit of an agenda. What happens when he comes to Riley’s rescue, more than once? Well, get set because the sparks fly, and things get heated- in more ways than one.
Looking forward to the rest of the series…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Elena Kincaid!

Wow! I absolutely loved this book! Connor and Niamh’s Story filled me with so much joy and excitement, Fae meets vampire! I really need there to be more. I couldn’t stop reading it! I absolutely loved the Irish heritage and culture mixed with the vampire and Fae worlds! So unique and whimsical I couldn’t have asked for more! The music that Thorne picked to include was perfect for the tone of Dawnbreaker! I was so overjoyed that she decided to add a personal playlist for the book at the end. It really helped make her world even more real to me. If you are a lover of fantasy romance this book is a must read! You will not be disappointed!

Where Fire Meets Flame (Yours From The Ashes #1)Where Fire Meets Flame by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW. So, this book had a very spicy start to say the least. This is the first book I have read by the talented Elena Kincaid, and I am already looking into her other work and ready for book two in the Yours From The Ashes series. Where Fire Meets Flame is a dual perspective, told from Riley and Tristan’s sides.
The book starts with Riley on a case into yet another cheating husband when she is suddenly hit from behind and memories of her car accident 6 months earlier lead into a flashback. Nine months earlier a chance encounter at her favorite coffee shop brings the two main characters together. Instant sparks on both sides but he has a complicated situation and doesn’t want the beautiful redhead caught in the cross hairs. Shannon, the living embodiment of evil if you will. Tristan had attempted to date her for about two months but his work schedule and the fact that there was no spark for him with her. After several instances he has no choice but to get a restraining order against Shannon, but she has a few loose screws and won’t let that stop her from getting near him. Riley and Tristan finally share their first kiss at a night club one night only for Shannon, or as Riley knows her the “grumpy brunette”, to appear. Suddenly, Riley was involved in a seven car pile up days later, and then Tristan is told she is dead. Returning to the present-day, Tristan is holding Riley in his arms trapped in a burning building, she’s alive and every terrible reality comes crashing down, Shannon is behind it all.
Will Riley and Tristan get there happily ever after? Can the police catch Shannon in time? The world the author creates is one based in reality; I have known people in similar situations with a crazy ex. More important is the amazing characters, breaking stereotypes, a petite female that loves kickboxing, and an over six-foot-tall man not afraid to show emotions when overwhelmed. This was the perfect short Sunday read to finish off the month of April and I anxiously await the next installment in this series.

White Picket FencesWhite Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kyle Ann Robertson’s White Picket Fences is a hit to the heart for anyone struggling to feel appreciated and valued by those around them. White Picket Fences is a tale about Julie, a wife and mother of 3. Julie struggles with feeling underappreciated and taken for granted by her family. She must come to terms with a new normal after the unexpected death of a child while dealing with the guilt of still feeling like she is being taken for granted. As a mother, I often put the needs of my child before my own. Even before I had my daughter, I was always the one taking care of others. I can relate to Julie’s feelings of not being appreciated. Kyle Ann Robertson takes a topic most don’t discuss but many feel and puts it out in the open for all to see. With great world building and loveable, eerily realistic characters, White Picket Fences is a must-read for fans of family and women’s fiction or anyone struggling to feel less alone in their thoughts.

What a dynamic this duo had. Definitely a satisfying read. Book one in the Yours From The Ashes series and I cannot wait to see what’s next.

I have loved every book I’ve picked up from Elena Kincaid, this one included! Where Fire Meets Flame is the first book in the Yours From The Ashes series and it’s a quick but wonderful start. There is plenty of romance and steamy scenes throughout as well. You’ll devour this in one sitting because you can’t get enough of Tristan and Riley! Their chemistry is amazing, and the characters are quite in-depth for a shorter story. I love the protective vibe I get from Tristan too. I can’t wait for the next book already!

If so, you need to read this book. It’s a quick contemporary romance. Fast paced, strong characters some stalker drama and steamy romance.

I'll Love You Tomorrow (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy #3)I’ll Love You Tomorrow by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll Love You Tomorrow is the 3rd book in the Trading Heartbeats trilogy. It can prob be read as a stand alone, but it is better enjoyed as a series. There is a lot of overlapping info from previous stories, and the rocky marriage of Mitch and Lauren started in previous books. There is also the ground work for who is who and background and relationships. I really enjoyed this series so I was excited to read the final book on the Templeton kids. The story was kind of what I expected but not exactly how I expected it. There are a lot of ups and downs, but overall I really loved it. The characters are all wonderful. I enjoy the closeness Lauren has with her brothers, as well as their wives. I really felt for Lauren in this book. She is in a hard place, having to choose between her dream and her dream man, and is struggling. I look forward to more from the author, in other series, as I think this one is wrapped up.

Niamh and Connor are from different worlds but quickly find a connection to each other. They are each figuring out what these new feelings mean when Niamh loses her memories. There are many twists, intrigue, and so much more. I really enjoyed reading this book and I hope others will too.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Other People’s Money by Cynthia Hamilton is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Maddie and Mike, a married Private Investigative team, are hired to investigate three separate cases. Funds are missing, people have vanished, and Daphne is marrying a man thirty years older than she is. Full of suspense, secrets, and surprises these three cases intertwine and provide a shocking ending.

Other People’s Money is the seventh installment of the Madeline Dawkin’s Mystery Series. Although part of a series, this installment can easily be read as a standalone. This one was a binge reader for me. I could not put it down. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Hamilton threw in another wrench causing another twist and turn. The characters within this novel were very well written; lovable and relatable in so many ways. The plot was well developed and believable. This was my first introduction to Cynthia Hamilton. After reading Other People’s Money I will not hesitate to pick up another book written by this author.

Aurora Wildey has written a fantastic fantasy novel, with so much excitement I couldn’t put it down. The characters are developed so well, I felt like they were real! The setting was beautifully portrayed with all of the details fine-tuned, it just drew me in. I was on the edge of my seat when Kaela Morrow was attacked, I was sure she was a goner! Luckily she was saved by her rescuer who risked his own life to save hers, Terran Montgomery, the man of mystery sacrificed himself. Thank goodness Kaela had the ability to heal, which she did, and in exchange, Terran promised to watch over her. There is another who wants to protect Kaela, Seth Lazarus, but neither man gets along. Are both of them helping Kaela for her own good, or do they have ulterior motives? Can she trust either of them or is she all on her own once again? You won’t want to put this book down once you begin, so be ready for a great experience.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book from this author and what a marvelous rollercoaster of emotions it was. It’s always unnerving yet validating when someone can seemingly peer into your life with their own experiences, and that’s exactly what Kyle Ann Robertson did. I feel like a lot of people are focused on telling others what a blessing motherhood is, which while true it does ignore the less glamorous side of it. I feel like every mother would tell you the same as well. Our main character, Julie, has spent her entire adult life ensuring that her kids know what home sweet home should feel like. She spends all of her time providing unconditional love and a myriad of duties for her family which all go unnoticed. Then the family unit must deal with a devastating loss together and somehow find their new normal without growing apart from grief. I highly recommend reading this book as it encapsulates motherhood, grief, and hope. You won’t be disappointed if you give it a chance!

While I enjoyed the overall story, it felt a bit rushed or underdeveloped. The main character, Riley, supposedly is closed off to relationships, but after only spending a short amount of time with Tristan, she seems to open right up. Terry, Riley’s best friend, seemed like a fun and interesting character that barely received a cameo part in the story. The writing style, characters, and overall plot were good; the book just didn’t seem to reach its full potential. This one does have a decent amount of steamy scenes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Noah’s not so super summer is a great kids sci-fi book. It has a unique story.

Noah Reagan has always envisioned himself as a major figure in science.
He would get that and more if he were accepted into The Summer with Supers Youth Program. Gaining acceptance, respect, and perhaps even a bullying-free semester.Noah is forced to spend the summer working for his dad’s failing Mega-Maintenance company, cleaning up after the very creatures that have taken his freedom, when Lincoln City’s mutant infestation crushes his hopes beneath a pile of debris. While the real heroes fight off the approaching hordes, Noah launches his investigation into the madness that is causing the monsters in an effort to put an end to the mega-meltdowns before his final chances at a super summer are destroyed. Noah’s dreams are controlled by the mastermind, therefore intervening would consign him to an off-brand

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Short story firefighter romance that leaves you wanting more from this world. Where Fire Meets Flame was enjoyable. The author gives a wonderful back story, however that’s the majority of this series.
Riley’s a private detective that’s on an assignment that’s going to upset her client. Unfortunately she never made it out of the building. She was knocked out cold and left for dead, while the building went up in flames.
Tristan has been in mourning the last few months but that does keep him from doing his job. The building’s coming down and he needs to get himself and this woman out. Unfortunately they don’t have enough time. They end up in the basement where he shares his oxygen with her. Little does he know the surprise he has within his grasp. Which when it jumps back 9 months prior to the interactions between these two. And the danger that’s lurking.
Will Riley and Tristan get their chance?
Or will the danger lurking win?
It’s short but cute! Definitely enjoyed it and want more from this world.
