This is such a good book. It is a story of a family that is torn apart by trauma and lies and secrets. Ridge and his dad went out fishing. Only his dad returns. This ends with his father being charged with the murder of Ridge. But that is really only the beginning of the story. There is so much more that I wish I could tell you but that would involve spoiling the story. The best I can say is that this is a story you won’t be able to put down until the end. One that will keep you up long past your bed time, that you will keep reading and wish it wasn’t over when it was. These characters are amazing and the plot sucks you in from the beginning. I definitely recommend reading this one!

In book one of this trilogy, we are introduced to Mavis, Josh, and Austin as the main characters. Josh and Austin are twins from a fairly wealthy and well-known family. Mavis and her brother Mitch grew up bouncing from foster home to foster home.
Josh and Mavis were designed to be together from the first time they met. One day Josh wakes up to find Mavis is gone. He doesn’t hear from her for over ten years. His brother Austin has heard from her though and he’s known her the whole time.
This book involves a love triangle and secrets galore. Will the right guy win in the end? I’m still a bit conflicted as to how this one turned out. I’m not sure that the right guy did win but, since I’ve read the other books in the same time frame, I ultimately know it was the right guy.

In book 2 of this trilogy, the story of Mavis, Josh, and Austin is continued. Casey is introduced very briefly in book one and this book focuses much more on her, along with the aforementioned.
Austin is a successful lawyer and he’s just witnessed the demise of his “true love” when his twin brother Josh proposes to Mavis. When he goes to Chicago to help Mavis pack up her apartment, he meets Casey, Mavis’s roommate. He’s heard some about her but she’s heard a lot about him. It’s pure torture to Austin to help with this task but maybe Casey can make it more interesting.
When he returns home, Austin is called into the office of his law firm. He’s being asked to head up the new Chicago location and by doing so, it could lead to him making partner in the firm. What better odds since he’s really been missing Casey since leaving Chicago. Can this work out in his favor?
This was an enjoyable read for the most part. I do recommend reading this series in order to know the history in these characters, as it plays a large role in the overall story. I was getting a little tired of the pet names for the girls though. Duchess, Princess, and Peaches got to be super annoying afterwhile. I feel this took away from the overall story. The first couple of times it was endearing but then became overkill.

An interesting take on the Red Riding Hood story which incorporates science. The book was illustrated wonderfully, which is great for kids. The story line follows the typical Red Riding Hood tale but includes science. The importance of checking flowers and fingerprinting is shown in the story to help Red along the way. It doesn’t go into excessive detail as the story is for children and I think the author found the right balance to get kids interested, but not overwhelm them. I would recommend this book for those with kids
This is a great collection of short stories – I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first picked up this book, but I’m glad I did. Each story is unique which I liked as it made reading the book a more enjoyable experience for me. I loved how creepy and unsettling the stories were. I rarely get scared by books so the fact that there were even times where I felt like my hair stood on end was great for me – just what I wanted! My only criticism would be that I wish some of the stories were a bit longer, I wanted more! Though I think the stories are great as they are, it’s just pure selfishness on my part wanting to make the creepy sensation last longer. I hope that the author continues to write in this genre as I would love to read more like this from them!

This is the third and final book in this series and this story is about Ian Troy. I enjoyed Ian Troy’s story and watching him grow as a character. I am very glad that I read the first books in this series before starting this one because this one isn’t a standalone and i would have been very lost. This action packed book was enjoyable and i am looking forward to more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

4.5 stars Unexpected Entanglement is the third book in The Echo series. I really enjoyed the first two books in the series and this one is no different. I like that CR has intertwined the characters throughout the books. This is probably my favourite of the three. This heartfelt and fun love story will have you falling in love with the characters, Rowan and Chris. I also enjoyed their back and forth banter. The supporting characters where great too. There is tension and angst, chemistry and steamy scenes, unbridled passion and humour, danger and suspense, pain and emotions. This is a great read and I was hooked from the word go. This is a captivating tale and I liked the fake relationship trope and all that comes with trying to keep things straight. What is supposed to be a simple wedding turns out it is anything but……. Are lives in danger? You will have to read to find out. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next from CR.

4.5 stars A River of Crows is a cleverly woven web of dark secrets, lies, deceit and murder. This complex and thrilling tale will keep the reader guessing as Shanessa throws in twists and a climactic ending. This gripping psychological story is action packed and Shanessa writes compelling characters and some of those you will fall in love with. A River of Crows is a mysterious tale that intertwines not one but two stories with two timelines 1988 and the present. You will be glued to the pages as you try to put the intricate pieces together. Shanessa’s twisty plot of family dynamics and murder shows off her gifted writing skills and storytelling. Sloan must return to the one place that holds heartache and pain, memories and unanswered questions. Sloan’s world is rocked to its core as she unravels the layers. Nothing will ever be the same again. Shanessa is a must to add to your TBR list.

5 stars I’ll Love You Tomorrow is the third and final book in the Trading Heartbeats trilogy. I suggest reading the other two books in order as the characters intertwine even though they could be read as standalones. I have loved all the books but I loved this book the most. They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas OR does it? Finding your one at a young age comes with dreams and fairy tales. Then real life comes with adulthood and sometimes reality is not what it seems. They thought their love would be forever and maybe it is but over time responsibilities and little things slip in until they become too big to bear. I really felt for the characters, Lauren and Mitch they feel real with flaws and all. This heart wrenching tale will leave you feeling a little raw and emotional when everything around our female MC is falling apart. Life wasn’t meant to be like this. Everything she holds dear is slipping through her fingers. With nothing to lose she puts it all on the line. Let the chips fall where they may. What happened to make it all fall apart? To know what happens you will need to read for yourself. I really enjoyed this trilogy and know you will too.

As the title implies, Insomnia is a collection of creepy campfire type stories to keep you wondering what lies just beyond the light. The stories included are: –Silent Sighs –The Attic –The Park Bench –The Music Box –A Closed Door –A Message –Thank You for Coming –Letter to Grandma –Idle Thursday For a short stories sequence, I really enjoyed this one. The stories are well written and each is very different from the last, no repeat scares here! With 9 unnerving tales, there is a level of scare for everyone. I think this would be a great starter book for anyone delving into the horror genre, but also quite a treat for those of us that read it as a preference! Insomnia, the perfect title for a book that will keep you up (either reading through the night, or unable to sleep as the stories creep into your dreams)!

This is the third and final book in this trilogy and it is just as good as the previous books. The journey these characters go on is such a moving one. I liked the fact that we got to see the struggles there were going through after their marriage. You don’t always get the “behind the curtain” look into characters I think it added to this story. I think this whole trilogy has been really well written. They have been captivating books, emotional and have some amazing characters in them. I have fully enjoyed each and every book and I am looking forward to reading more of this authors work. I would definitely recommend this trilogy as well.

Your Trainer Says Hi! is Book Two in the Vengeful Vixens Series. The story centers around Nadine who has recently opened up a juice bar with her boyfriend of six months, Heath. When Heath withdraws all of the money from their business account to invest in a sure-fire MLM scam, Nadine is both devastated and furious. She tells Heath that he is to pay all of the money back but in the meantime, she figures that she will take over his pre-paid personal training sessions as partial revenge for his treacherous act. Nadine refuses to allow her ex to break her and decides that she needs to bounce back on her feet right away.
Nadine’s only intention when going to see Heath’s personal trainer is to take away his beloved trainer from him. However, when she sees Wick her body betrays her with other intentions. Trying to shrug off the attraction she tells herself that she is only there for the workouts. It seems that not only does Wick notice that Nadine is attracted to him, but he enjoys the affect he has on Nadine. The two of them exchange sexy banter back and forth as Wick puts Nadine’s body through the wringer in the gym. When he invites her back to his place to soak and relax her muscles in his hot tub the sexual tension builds and before long Wick is putting Nadine’s body through the wringer again.
I loved this book and was hooked from the first few pages. I could not stop laughing out loud at the witty banter and jokes between Nadine and her BFF Oakley. I laughed so hard that the tears started when I read the scene where Nadine confronts her ex, Heath, about the MLM scam he invested in. My husband actually looked at me and asked me what was so funny, so I read a few pages to him. The scenes were so vividly described that I felt as though I was watching a movie as the scenes leaped off the pages.
The characters were relatable and lovable. Seriously, the friendship between Nadine and Oakley was epic. The jokes they cracked kept me in stitches. Oakley was there to act as a calming agent for Nadine when she needed it and help her pick up the pieces of a broken relationship. Heath was a character that you loved to hate because he was such a dimbulb and showed no remorse over his actions. Wick seemed like an arrogant jerk but ended up being a sweetheart. Nadine was smart, feisty, and unstoppable no matter what life threw at her. This book had wise-cracking friends, witty banter, revenge plots, betrayal, sexual tension, passion, unexpected romance, BFFs, and manipulation.

I’ve read several books from this series by C.R. Alam and I have to say this one is my absolute favorite. You know the connection is there and you hope to know the outcome but the struggles getting there are so real life. You root for Chris, you root for Rowan. Who is causing the problems for the Inn? Will the family ever meet? It has everything.

Austin loves Mavis, Mavis loves and is marrying his twin brother Joshua. Mavis is leaving her best friend Casey to marry Josh thousands of miles away. Austin needs to get away from Mavis and Josh. Will his path cross with Casey and save both of them? This is the second book in the series Trading Heartbeats Trilogy and I have to say it is my favorite of the two I’ve read so far. Austin is such a great character full of life and ambitions. Casey is the same in every way plus more. Well worth the read and recommend reading the first so you have all the facts!

Their relationship is rocky and they are at a stand still. Will they get their second chance at love and their perfect happily ever after? I liked this story, it wasn’t my favorite of the three but it was still a great story. They all connect perfectly and bring you into the dynamic. Well worth the read.

This was a great collection of short stories that make you want to look over your shoulder and sleep with a light on. Each story brings its own terrifying or brain bending tale and that’s what makes them each so great as they aren’t just the same throughout. I had a few where I questioned what just happened, that shouldn’t have happened that way, and I had to read it again. I will be looking out for more from this author and her other pen name .

Your Trainer Says Hi! (Vengeful Vixens Book 2) by Indie Sparks. This is such a fun series and every book I’ve read I’ve loved. This is Nadine’s story and she seems to be doing great. She has her own juice bar and life is good until she realizes that her soon to be ex Nathan has stolen all of her money to put into a hair brained scheme. Her best friend tells her she should seek revenge but Nadine has no idea what to do. Wick is Nathan’s personal trainer so she decides she will steal him. He’s hot, he’s handsome and he’s full of himself. He thinks so highly of himself that Nadine and he butt heads 100% of the time. The tension between them is off the charts but some of that may be sexual tension. The more time she spends with him the more she wants him. Once Nathan finds out that they are involved he makes Nadine’s life even more difficult! Will Nadine’s business survive her ex and will she and Wick make a go of their relationship. Read this fun filled romance to find out!
Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8 ) by Cynthia Hamilton. This series and this author have quickly become my favorites! Each one of these books I read I say its my favorite. I do suggest reading them in order so that you get the best experience. In this book Madeline & Mike get three new cases. One involves her dad’s Senior living Center where mystery letters are going around and some are very dark. The next case is about a missing girl who has escaped from a cult and is trying to lay low. The 3rd and final case is about a man and woman going thru a ugly divorce and he is trying to hide all his money and belongings so that she won’t get any of it. Since there are so many cases and so little time they decide to split up and of course mayhem ensues. I have loved every one of these books and I can’t wait to read the next one. Be sure to be prepared to read until you are finished because they will suck you in.

Once again this can be read as a standalone but is the 3rd book in the WaterFyre series. TW: Kidnapping, abuse, mentions of human trafficking/close calls
I just love the men in this series. I am so happy to finally have Grayson’s story, the wonderful architect. He is still struggling with the betrayal from the last book he has built some impenetrable walls around himself. His friends and family are trying to help but he has dived head-first into work and isn’t coming up for air. That is until he runs into Natalie. At the time Natalie is working a city job, trying to find answers to save her families legacy back home. They go back and forth at each other till the tension between them just SNAPS.
Enemies to lovers with suspense, heartbreak, and full of action! Can’t wait for The Inquisitor.

A crow never forgets, and neither can one family after a searing pain from the loss of the young boy Ridge and the aftermath of destruction for two families. Sloan’s life gets torn apart and even when she tries to escape her past pains, the river calls her home to help with her mother who was released from a psychiatric hospital. This murder mystery kept me captivated the entire time. “Just one more chapter” turned into an hour more than once. Lessons of revenge tearing apart a person and a family cannot be ignored.

I’ll Love You Tomorrow was the perfect ending to the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy. The story is an emotional roller coaster. Lauren and Mitch are struggling in their relationship and Mitch is ready for divorce. Lauren’s restaurant takes entirely too much of her time and Mitch can only take so much more. In the worst of times, Mitch finds himself in the arms of the enemy. Thankfully, Lauren’s brothers step in and encourage both Mitch and Lauren to look at their relationship one more time before throwing it away. Julie Navickas keeps readers interested with fast-paced action and raw emotion.

The Traveler: Book 3 is the third book in The Traveler series. I’d highly recommend reading the books in order to get to know Harry and Tristan from the start of their relationship, and hear more of Harry’s backstory.
This is an enjoyable and original speculative fiction series. Harry is a unique creature who has been around, in some form or another, for a very long time and observed much of human history. He is intelligent and powerful but also vulnerable and must occasionally undergo a long period of stasis which leaves him with a new form.
In book 3, Harry is just emerging from stasis so we see him adapting to the changes he has undergone, and Tristan and Elena adapting to having Harry back in their lives again. And, of course, it’s not long before there’s new trouble and danger they need to get themselves out of…
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of comedy sci-fi/fantasy with familiar domestic settings. The whole series is an entertaining and thought-provoking read!

This book, THIS BOOK. WOW absolutely blown away. The author walks the line between love and hate with perfection. The characters are superbly written and the development of the story is superb. 10/10 The story follows to people who are SOOO attracted to each other that the extreme hatred they have for each other is completely overshadowed. The chemistry…. one word HOT. The push and pul between them is so intense and the slow burn is just waiting for the spark that will ignite their absolute overpowering passion for each other. Let me tell you I CAN’T WAIT!! Bit of a cliffhanger at the end but we don’t have to wait long… next book is set to be released 27 April

Riley returns to Santa Monica and Hidden Valley Academy, the same place she met Cole, their dream kiss moment never forgotten. Cole has also never forgotten the little thief he met a year ago and now she returns transformed into a new look, but he feels the connection not knowing they are the same girl. Cole is still angry at his father over the death of his mom, which lead him to torment Riley and mark her as his alone. As his hostility grows so does his desire to truly claim Riley as his own.
This is so far a great series and I’m ready to jump into book 2. I am hopeful Riley will step up to her independent and fierce spirit we only seen glimpses of thus far. I also cannot wait to see how Riley and Cole will continue to grow together. The suspenseful overtones that Riley and her mom have set up adds to the drama of the story and keeps making you wonder when safety will be shattered.
I would recommend reading the prequel prior to starting this book. It’s not necessary but it is beneficial in not getting held up on simple questions and getting more background on the main characters.

After reading the first two books in the Echo Series, I was excited to read Unexpected Entanglement. Once again, C. R. Alam did not disappoint! This book had wonderful characters: Rowan Kelly and Chris Sullens. When they meet, Rowan realizes that she could use Chris’ help with her inn; but small island community living easily sparks rumors-meaning the two will have to pretend to be a couple. This novel has a lot to offer, with well-written characters, romance, suspense, and humor. I recommend reading the first two books in this series, but Unexpected Entanglement could be read as a stand- alone.

I couldn’t WAIT till my workday was over to sit down and read this book. This is the first book that I read from Cynthia Hamilton and I am hooked. This booked kept me on the edge the whole time wondering what was going to happen. The characters were amazing! Having three stories in one was awesome, I was also surprised that it was SO easy to keep up with. Sometimes storylines like that can get confusing but this was laid out perfectly. I would recommend this book to anyone!

This is a collection of 3 short but very steamy stories. This is a collection of stories that have action, lust, friends to enemies, secret fantasies and a feeling of why choose when you can have everything you want.
The babysitter- This is the first story and is an age-gap romance. We do however meet all the characters that are in the following stories during this time as well. Here is where we meet Richard and his wife Alice. Their marriage has got a bit boring and uneventful since the birth of their son, so when Richard finds out the babysitter has a thing for him and she makes moves on him, he is unable to resist. Giving into temptation and allowing himself to get lost in the arms of another women is only the start of his adventures.
The boss’s daughter- This is an enemies to lovers romance. We are back with Richard who has been tasked with a case to crack by the bosses daughter. After Scarlett catches Richard and the babysitter up to no good in his office she decides she is going to use this against him to get what she wants. Namely him. However things don’t go as she had planned and when she loses her dominance over Richard she awakens a side of him that she never knew existed before. Maybe Richard isn’t such a push over after all?
Menage A Trois- This is the 3rd book and wow what a way to end this set. Alice knows things need spicing up a bit in her marriage so she sets out to surprise Richard when he returns home and boy does she do that. When Alice hears screaming from her neighbours( the babysitters) apartment she rushes to help. After taking Rebecca away from her abusive father she comforts the girl and listens as Rebecca spills her soul. Including the fact that she got intimate with Richard. Alice is angry and wants revenge so she plans to play Richard at his own game. But what happens when Richard returns home to witness his wife and lover together? Will this be a happy ending for them all? Or will this be the final straw that breaks their marriage completely?
This Contemporary Romance has it all. Even though Rowan and Chris tried to fight their emotions. Fake or not things still went from business to wholly hot. Rowan is strong and independent and even though she had a lot to accomplish with her sister’s wedding, she was determined to get it done. Chris on the other hand was not expecting to help out. So now that he got himself in hot water. How will he get himself out of the emotional rollercoaster he jumped into? Will Rowan see herself clear or will she too jump into the rollercoaster? This author left nothing out. Her writing is easy to follow and your emotions will be out of control. She really has a way with words. This story was right on, in the romance series. I can hardly wait to read more from this series. See where the author takes us next.
