Oh this was such a sweet story! Abby and Nate have been best friends since they were children. Always there for one another. And now that they’re getting older…will they be there for one another in a way that’s MORE than what they’re used too?

If you love a good best friends to lovers, one night stand, second chances book, read this! I LOOOOOVE Nate so much. How he’s always there for Abby just melts my heart. There’s a lot of humor in this book too and those parts absolutely killed me 🤣🤣 and as much as I loved this book it also irked my soul. Still makes it a good book though in my opinion.

First of all, I just got to say, WOW! Such great chemistry between Abby and Nate! It starts as having a friendship since they were 7 years old and have been by each other’s side since. Just recently had her 40th birthday, Abby quite envious of pregnant wives with their husbands and their happily ever afters. Abby, still single and with no kids, just wants her turn at her own happiness. After speaking with her sister, she mentions the idea to Nate and he surprisingly decides to help her out, to have her own baby. Any type of artificial treatments are quite costly and they decide to go ahead with this “procedure” the old fashion way. Boy, do they enjoy the experience. Situation does get complicated a bit along when she does get pregnant. If you’re already interested, just go for it and read this book! It is so worth the read and makes you look forward to more! I know I can’t wait for the next one in this series!

Looking for a book that can bring all ages together in enjoyment. Then this is absolutely the book for you! We cannot wait to continue on with this series.

I enjoyed the concept of an alternate history of the Romanovs if their English cousins came to aid them as they asked. The start of the novel is a little slow for my taste in a Historical Romance novel, but it did pick up the pace closer to the middle. I found pleasure in the added parts at the end of the chapter where the author connects the story present to the story past for Olga! The research portion of this Historical Romance was prevalent in the story and I appreciated the author’s authenticness. This story is told from the view of Olga and how she and her 3 sisters are rescued and rushed away to England. The Romanov sisters want to live normal lives but fear Bolsheviks discovering their hiding spot with their English families. Olga seems to be able to hold the fort down and keep her sisters in line until a person wants to slander their family’s reputation! She decides enough is enough and takes matters into her own hands! However, leaving the sanctuary of her hideaway and into the real world leaves her vulnerable to triggers of events that happened both in the past and present as she is trying to protect her family’s name! It doesn’t help matters when she meets the dashing Rob! Does she succeed? Will she allow Rob or Heathcliff to become too much of a distraction or want to unburden the truth to him? I hope you enjoy finding out as much as I did!

This book is about Baz Cormac, a rogue who wasn’t wanting to be a rogue but was rather forced into by Goddess Morrigan. I absolutely love this series. It’s full of action and romance which I truly didn’t think I would like (the romance of it). There are multiple POVs throughout the series and each book has at least two main characters. Baz and Delaney are the two main characters in this book, I really feel connected to the two of them as they tell their story. Delaney is a warrior-talisman hybrid who is looking for her warrior sort of. Is Baz and Delaney meant to be, you need to read this book to find out?

This is the 6th book of the Talisman series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but it is more understandable if you at least read the first book in the series. Each book is about a different warrior and talisman, making it easy to follow along. The author does a wonderful job creating these Celtic characters. Each with their own story and personality. What I like is how the author is able to tell a different love story within the same universe. It’s not all love at first sight. Sometimes they have to work for what is theirs which makes the story much more believable. I love this series and will be reading more.
The Morrigan put a curse on all the warriors. Find your talisman by your 28th birthday or you belong to her. In the first book, the warriors break the curse extending the time given to find your talisman. Baz Cormac thinks the curse being lifted is a myth. His 28th birthday came and he had a choice; death, go into hiding for the rest of his life or join Morgan’s army and become a rogue. Baz chose to fight for Morgan.
Years go by and Baz has given up finding his talisman completely. Until he meets a feisty woman who isn’t afraid to go head to toe with him.
Delaney has accepted her fate as a warrior spinster. Her 28th birthday came and went without finding her warrior. She starts dating a warrior who lost his talisman. When her boyfriend gets taken by Morgan, Delaney goes to his place to investigate when she is surprised by a rogue on the property. Years prior, her uncle became a rogue, dishonouring his family so they quickly disowned him. Since then, Delaney hates all rogues.
When the pair find out they are fated mates, they are shocked. Baz realized that Morgan has been lying to him for years, He wants to devise a plan to take her down and rejoin the warrior community with Delaney’s help. She can’t get past the fact that he is a rogue, let alone trust him.
They have a long road ahead of them. Will they be strong enough to make it?

Flynn once a pro tennis player is now a successful author and motivational speaker who has always been on her own. The only thing she has really given up on was tennis. When tennis didn’t work out Flynn turned to write about her life. When she has a run-in with a smooth-talking playboy her life just might turn her life upside down. Chavez Delgado is a pro tennis player with reckless anger issues. Chavez is at the top of his game when he must put his family first and put down the racket. At a by-chance meeting, they run into each other in their therapist’s office and set something in motion that neither can explain. Something that neither of them could imagine. This is the second book I have read by this author and just like the first, she did not disappoint with this second book. I can’t wait to see what else this author releases.

An enjoyable book in one of my favourite genres. The plot was interesting and suspenseful which kept me reading on to find out whether Kaela puts her trust in the right person and working to survive the attempts on her life. The story is told from multiple points of view which gives a deeper look into each of the characters which I liked.
Each character has a distinct personality and it was interesting to see how they all bounced off each other (especially when you could see things from everyone’s perspective, it gave me a deeper appreciation for their reactions).
I’m interested in seeing where the rest of this series leads as it started off well.

This is another great book to add to this series, and yet another from this author. I am really enjoying this spin off series and the change of pace it brings. The characters are have a great chemistry, made even stronger by their history. I connected with them instantly and wanted to read more. The book was fast paced and action packed yet well thought through. I love the dynamics that the author brings to her books and this is just another example of why. I am already looking forward to the next book.

This is a highly entertaining story with one of my favourite main characters of all time. She is an absolute breath of fresh air because she is so real and relatable. I loved that she isn’t the typical heroine you get in a book but I think that just made the story so much better. The storyline of the book was great. It was perfectly written and really fit with Gwen’s character. This is still a pretty new author to me but this book is definitely one to make sure they are added to my one click list. I cannot wait to read more of this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this take on the Romanov survival rumours. There are the expected moments of suspense and danger for Olga and her sisters given their identities, but there are also unexpected secrets which are revealed as the story progresses.
I related to Olga as an older sister myself, I was often in the role of protector to my younger sister. Though our situations are vastly different, having that in common helped me to connect to the story. I admired her strength in trying to do right by her family whilst at the same time protecting her remaining siblings.
I think the research, which clearly went into writing this book, only adds to the brilliance of this novel. The historical details, make the whole thing believable and easier to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this gripping historical novel, which kept me captivated throughout. This story gives the Romanovs an alternate future, and the wonderfully descriptive narrative along with the added historical details brought the storyline vividly to life, making it a very realistic and immersive read. Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe as her parents and brother are missing, presumed dead. Meanwhile the Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate the tsarist regime, which includes finding and murdering the last Romanovs. The sisters flee to England and to safety but must remain hidden in order to protect their identities, but their isolation puts a strain on their relationships and they can not stay hidden from the world forever. However, when Olga learns of a rumour being spread by a peer of the realm that accuses her mother, the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War, she must act to prevent it destroying both her mother’s reputation and her sisters futures. After all, she knows that her mother never disclosed military secrets to the enemy whilst under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin. Olga hatches a plan to discover the truth, and so disguised as wartime nurse turned maid “Olivia,” accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. It’s here that Olga meets his lordship’s heir, a veteran who has a tragic past and who she has a complicated and potentially dangerous connection with. Overall she must discover her own family’s legacy, and keep herself and her sisters safe. I was hooked from page one by the engaging and intriguing historical storyline and by the wonderfully defined characters. A five star read and one which I definitely recommend.

This book is the first in a series. While I definitely want to read the next books, this book works well as a stand alone. It takes place in the early 1900s and follows the Romanov sisters. This book is mostly about the oldest sister, Olga. The next book will be about another one of the sisters. It was quite fascinating reading of their rescue and their fear of being discovered. Their fear was understandable and portrayed quite well. There was a twist at the end that I did not see coming. That was fun to read. Overall, it is a wonderful historic fiction that is worth the time to read!

Baz Cormac is a rogue warrior, but this is not by choice, it is because he turned 28 before he found his talisman and had to pledge his loyalty to the Goddess, the Morrigan, so for the last three years, he has had freedom from a warriors restrictions, but also the necessity of taking the lives of warriors within that community, who happened to cross swords with him on the battlefield which the Morrigan orchestrates, he has also been gathering, training and leading a group of other rogues at the same time, whom he is planning to disrupt the Goddesses plans.
Delaney Ferrell is a young woman who has given up on finding her warrior and instead thrown herself into warrior training and her business instead, she is strong, fast and relentless with her training and everything else she puts her mind to, so when she receives a mysterious note which concurs with some rumours of rogues in the area she lives in, she decides to go and check it out as she already knows the area and will be able to tell if something is off there.
When Baz senses that there is a warrior nearby, he prepares himself for a confrontation, however, when he discovers that it is a female whom he has sensed, he is understandable reticent, but Delaney has no such weaknesses when it comes to a scrap with a rogue, this is what she has trained for and she knows that she has to put him down, so the fight for dominance between the two begins, but Baz is soon to discover that this woman is more than just easy on the eyes, she is a fiercely determined fighter.
As he makes the split second decision to kidnap instead of kill Delaney, he takes her to his lair and makes sure she cannot leave until he can figure out why he is so damn attracted to her, so in a desperate and instinctive act, he tries his sign on her and much to his astonishment it works and this is where he realises that Delaney is his fated mate and this throws his plans into complete disarray. When Delaney feels the reaction of her body to Baz and he explains why, she cannot accept the fact that she is the talisman of a rogue, especially since her Uncle decided to be one and brought shame upon her family, but will she be able to accept her fate and give love a chance, or will the Goddesses tear them apart before anything can truly begin? This is a fantasy adventure which is a balancing act, on a tightrope between good and evil, where one life altering decision has to be made before time and a Goddesses patience run out in this fated mates romance where secrets, lies, truths and revelations are all that stands between the darkness and the light and the answer to the question of which is the stronger side?

Baz used to be a warrior but when he turned 28 without finding his talisman, he chose to become a rogue. He couldn’t bear the thought of living in hiding trying to stay alive, so he chose to fight and find other rogues like him who still had some sense of honor left. Unbeknownst to him, his talisman can still be found and is very much in the area. Delaney Ferrell comes barging into his life when she finds a rogue (him) checking out her truck. She doesn’t take kindly to him being near her, her truck, or finding out that she is his talisman. As they work together to figure out how a rogue can still find his talisman even after their window of opportunity is missed, they find themselves stuck between the warriors and the rogues. Can they find a compromise to make it work? Or will they be doomed to be outcasts of both?
This series intrigued me from the beginning. It was fun reading about a rogue and what they might be going through in regard to how they feel when they don’t really have a choice about their future. Since the warriors are always fighting against them, it was good to see how they might feel when confronted with someone that they trained with that felt they had to pick the other side. Delaney is a strong female character that wasn’t afraid to hang with the boys or duke it out. All in all, it was a quick read. Definitely an adult read as the bonding is graphic.

Rogue (The Talisman Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson 4 Stars
Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. This story centres on Baz Cormac and Delaney Ferrell. As a warrior, Baz had to find his talisman by the time he turned twenty eight. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t and had to make a tough decision. Either go into hiding or turn rogue. Hiding and trying to survive wasn’t him so he turned rogue and fought for the war goddess Morrigan. He hated it but made the best of it. When rumours spread that the curse had been lifted, he didn’t want to believe that he had another chance. Delaney was almost thirty and still hadn’t found her warrior. Presuming he died, it can as a complete surprise when she found him. When a chance encounter unites these two, both are thrown for a loop. Will Baz be accepted into the warrior community again? Can Delaney overcome the shock of being mated to a rogue?
The story is well written and I love that the series incorporates celtic mythology. The chemistry is off the charts and there is some really good action scenes. My only issue was the repetitive indecision that Baz had over which side to stay on, warrior or rogue.

Olga, as the oldest of the Romanov sisters, has taken it upon herself to keep her younger sisters safe. After fleeing from Russia to England they are trying to adjust to their new situation while keeping their true identities a closely guarded secret. When dark family secrets surface, Olga must find the source of the rumors before they destroy her family. The rumors are about her late mother, Empress Alexandra, betraying Russia, and their allies during the Great War. These rumors could destroy her late mother’s legacy and the future of the family.
Olga goes undercover as a maid named Olivia at the home of the Lord Hammond where she suspects the rumors started. As she works for the Hammond’s she begins to learn the truth about her mother and soon begins to find out the complicated connection between their two families.
I loved this historical fiction book and the author’s take on the real Romanov family. It was beautifully written and the attention to detail bring the setting, the era, the story, and the characters to life. The characters are relatable, and you are able to feel the overwhelming range of emotions that the Romanov sisters must have experienced as their lives are thrown into turmoil. It was full of suspense, mystery, intrigue, secrets, and lies.

Rogue follows the story of Baz, a warrior who has been forced to turn rogue. The choice was not one that he wanted to make but it was either pledge himself to the evil Morrigan or go into hiding. Baz made the best choice he could under the circumstances and has had to live with that decision for the last few years. He does not like working for the war goddess Morrigan but completes all the missions she gives him while his real goal is to start a class of Celtic fighters.
Delaney is a warrior-talisman hybrid who acts as protector to save her warrior community. Her whole life has been spent trying to live down the choice her uncle made to go rogue. When a cryptic message leads her to an abandoned home she comes face-to-face with a lone rogue. Rather than kill her he takes her to his lair where their attraction and emotions threaten to ruin both of their missions.
Delaney knows that this lone rogue is a danger to her community and as their protector it is up to her to neutralize the threat. So why is she finding it so difficult to do? Baz discovers that Delaney is his mate, his talisman, and struggles to come to terms with that. Will they realize their love for one another or does fate have other plans for them? Will they be able to look past who they are to outside forces and get to know who they really are?
This book was action packed and full of intense situations for Baz and Delaney. Although unlikely mates they have an undeniable chemistry between them which makes the storyline interesting. Baz might be a rogue might it was not his choice. After having a rough life, he did what he had to do. Delaney is trained as a warrior and protects those around her. Both Baz and Delaney have been brought up in situations where they had to learn to be strong and fight to survive. A great paranormal romance full of action, magic, suspense, danger, and the battle of good versus evil.

Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. It’s a great series of historical mysteries, set in the late 19th Century. I would recommend reading the series from the start – it jumps straight into the action (quite literally – the first word is Emma being hit over the head) so you’ll need the earlier books to get to know the characters and past cases they’ve worked on. I love how we see references to the previous cases as people come back to help out, so to enjoy that you’ll need to have read the others first!
By this stage in the series, Emma is confident and has a broad range of skills. She’s had the chance to work on some of her weaker areas, such as using firearms, whilst still preferring to play to her strengths. She still has to face being underestimated, but can find that works to her advantage.
There’s plenty going on in the story, with layers of mystery to unravel. There are a bunch of interwoven threads in a well-paced book that balances tension with moments of safety and warm character moments.
This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend the series to all fans of historical mysteries.

A variety of short scary stories to keep you up and awake. LOL! Each story was fresh and new by this author. Each story was scarier than the last. They got my heart pumping and my nerves on end. A true rollercoaster of a read. This is an author I had not read before. Her imagination was Wild and Scary. The characters were believable which made the stories so realistic. I will be looking forward to reading more from this author. “Read the story they said, it will be fun!”

I have been fascinated with the Romanov story since I was a little girl so I was so excited to read this historical fiction. Jennifer Laam did NOT disappoint! She had me hooked in from the first page. I was engrossed in this take on the Romanov Dynasty because typically all we see is Anastasia’s perspective; however, in this novel we get to see all of the sisters’ perspectives and that was absolutely delightful. Laam’s writing is fantastic and engaging. I cannot recommend this book enough!

This is the 3rd book to the Chase Care Series and it did not disappoint!! While this could be read as a standalone, I would still recommend reading this series from the start. If you like drama, action, suspense, emotional roller coaster with twists and turns and romance like I do, I would recommend this read.
Pete Walker and Rowena Anderson knew each other from years past while serving our country in the Air Force but it was left between them some feeling of turmoil. Pete is a physician’s assistant and clinical director of Chase Care while Rowena is an ER Doctor at Guardian Hospital in Montana.
Pete is on a mission to save a mother and child due to a kidnapping but things do not go as planned. When emergency care is needed, Pete ends up at Guardian Hospital….where he runs into Rowena…when lives are at stake and a blizzard hits hard in the Montana area, will Rowena and Pete be able to keep patients alive and possibly the sizzle and chemistry back that was there years ago? Will buried secrets come out to play?
This is such a good read, hard to put down and I am looking forward to the book 4!

Dunn – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
This romantic medical thriller had plenty of drama and suspense which kept me gripped throughout. Pete Walter has been an Air Force pararescue jumper who is used to leaping into hostile territory, he’s also been a physician assistant and is now Clinical Facility Director for Chase Care. When he’s called on to help rescue a kidnapped mother and daughter he doesn’t hesitate. Meanwhile, Dr. Rowena Andersen returned to her family’s ranch in Montana with her two children after her divorce. She now works as an ER doctor at Guardian Hospital, and the rural location on the outskirts of an American Indian Reservation means she can keep her whereabouts secret. During a severe blizzard Pete and Rowena’s present and pasts collide, and their chemistry is just as sizzling as it ever was. Rowena soon learns that secrets are not easy to keep, but being older and wiser Pete is now more willing to sacrifice. As they begin a roller coaster of a relationship, they also need a miracle to survive. This was an exciting read, the storyline flowed well and the plot kept me hooked from start to finish. The setting and characters were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, and the chemistry between the main characters really came across in the writing. It can be read as a standalone story or as part of the series.

This is book 1 in The Stella Maris series. I really enjoyed this paranormal adventure. The author does an amazing job of bringing the characters and their stories to life. This story is fast paced which kept me turning the pages and I love how we get 3 different views of the story. Each character is unique and different but all of them have secrets that they are trying to protect but when danger comes for them the question is who can you trust and should you not trust. When Kaela is injured in an attack her life hangs in the balance. She would die if Terran hadn’t stepped in to help her. But hurt in the process Kaela uses her magical gift to heal him. Now they both have opened their secret up to another person but was that a wise decision? Could I be the start of a trusting friendship or could it be the biggest mistake either of them will ever make. This reluctant alliance seems to work until Seth appears. Seth recognises Kaela as the same as himself and he wants to teach her all about what and who she is. He offers her a job and a place of safety when another attempt is made on her life but there is one person in the way and that is Terran.
Will Kaela choose the right person to trust? With danger lurking around the corner and clearly after her what could be the consequences of trusting the wrong person? Will Terran and Seth be able to work together to protect Kaela? With everyone not knowing who to trust and who not to trust will it be possible at app to work together or will their lack of trust be just want the enemy is hoping for to make getting to Kaela easier. I enjoyed this books and can’t wait to see where the series goes

There was a lot of action in this book. I really liked Peter as a character. I thought the insertion of Rowena was crafted nicely. I thought that the plot moved along well and was engaging. I definitely would pick up others by this author.

I liked the book, but honestly it is hard to review it well because I haven’t read any of the others in this series so I don’t really know the background of any of the characters. However it is a very well written story, I am looking forward to going back and reading the other books in this series.
