My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very entertaining read. I really enjoyed the different lessons that can be learned here for kids in that pre teen stage. On one hand it was irritating watching Noah stick his nose in adult business and try to get involved, especially not being a super, but then on the other hand, he is brave and loyal to want to do all he can to protect those he considers his friends. The story was so creative with the mutant animals and the different powers the supers have, I liked Kyle’s the most, I would love to talk to animals! Noah is such a strong and compassionate kid to want to help save his town and his friends when most kids would probably be terrified. Wonderful read, I look forward to sharing it with my nephews.

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General)Doctor Frank Enstein by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance, which can be read as a standalone story or as part of the Doctors of Eastport General series. Set in Eastport General Hospital, and Dr. Frank Enstein starts an assignment on the new burns unit. Having spent years as a sought-after cosmetic surgeon, he’s pleased to now be working somewhere he can really make a difference. Frank was fed up of seeing superficial women demanding changes to their perfectly fine bodies. When he meets Barbara, a busty barmaid who starts up a conversation with him, asking about breast reductions, Frank fears that he will be dragged back into the practice he’s just left behind. However, their chemistry is instant and what starts off as a casual affair could turn into something longer term for them both. As long as Franks tragic past does not stop him from enjoying a future with Barbara. This is a fairly short read, which has a heartwarming romantic storyline, wonderful characters and an intriguing setting, all of which kept me happily turning the pages. I loved the characters, and the chemistry between Frank and Barbara sizzles off the page, leading to some steamy scenes. I look forward to returning to Eastport General Hospital soon!

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General)Doctor Frank Enstein by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Doctor Frank Einstein is a plastic surgeon who spends his days doing cosmetic surgery for superficial women who he feels do not need the surgery. Unlike many other cosmetic surgeons Doctor Einstein is not in his line of work for butts and boobs. He does it to make a difference in the lives of those who really need it. Those that have been scarred or disfigured. When a job opportunity opens up in the burn Unit of Eastport General Frank jumps at the chance.

As a child Doctor Einstein lived through a fire so he knows the damage such a traumatic event can do to a person both mentally and physically. That day changed his life and he vowed that when he grew up, he would do something that made a difference in the lives of others. Working in the burn unit at Eastport General gives Frank the opportunity to do just that. When some of Frank’s new co-workers invite him out to a local bar for drinks to get to know one another he reluctantly goes.

At the bar, he meets busty barmaid Barbara who he is immediately attracted to, but she makes a less than favorable impression on him. When she finds out Frank is a plastic surgeon, she tries to ask him a question about his line of work, and he immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. Frank immediately shuts down Barbara’s line of questioning and abruptly leaves the bar. Barbara is flabbergasted that this doctor has been so rude to her and is unsure why he acted that way over such a simple question. Frank immediately feels guilty and wants to apologize for being so rude, but will Barbara ever be able to forgive him?

When Frank and Barbara first meet the chemistry is instant, but they make a bad first impression on one another. Frank realizes that he goofed when he acted so abruptly and knows he needs to apologize. Thankfully, Barbara is understanding and is willing to forgive him and get to know him. As Frank and Barbara get to know each other better each realizes the other has more to them than meets the eye. Frank did not go into cosmetic surgery to be with superficial women who only care about their looks. He did it because of his past history as the victim of a fire and wants to help those who have suffered similar situations. Frank wants to make a difference and help disfigured patients gain confidence and self esteem. Barbara has been well endowed naturally and lives in constant pain from the strain on her back. All she wants is a life free of pain and one where men think of her as more than a pair of breasts. When Barbara meets Doctor Frank, she finally has hope. A great read about love, first impressions, chemistry, romance, understanding, and compassion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I was looking forward to reading The Challenger and it didn’t disappoint at all. I loved Flynn and Chavez’s story! They were great characters and even though I wasn’t 100% sure about Chavez when I first met him I definitely grew to love him. I feel like as the story progressed we began to see that there was so much chemistry between the two of them and a really lovely connection. I really liked the character progression in this story, both of our main characters had their own secrets and pasts to work through and I just felt like they really did progress as over the story. I am really excited for the final book in this series! I highly recommend this book!

This is the second book in the Doctors of Eastport General series. It is written by a different author than the first book as each one is written by a different writer. I like that idea because you get a view from the minds and perspectives of different authors. I think it makes the series that much more interesting. This book was not long at all. It was a very quick read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I wish it would have been longer. I didn’t want to put it down. The author put a lot into such a small number of pages which I personally loved. I highly recommend this book, as well as this series, if you are a fan of romantic short stories.

The Traveler: Book 3 by Deborah Dugan – Review by Darla Yocom

The Traveler: Book 3The Traveler: Book 3 by Deborah Dugan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book three of this series is by far the best in my opinion. I previously read book two and was unable to put it down, but while reading this one, I found that I did not want to step away from the pages, not even to sleep.

My love for sci-fi was definitely a driving factor in me picking up book number three of this series and continuing the adventures of Harry. Harry is a unique character with a lot of personality. He has lived many lives in many different forms or what he calls configurations. He’s lived in many different time frames as well. The things he has witnessed and experienced makes for an interesting background for this character.

When we last left Harry, he was a fuzzy and loveable tarantula who awoke from stasis and dealt with the trials and tribulations of trying to survive within his new configuration. Book three finds Harry once again in a new configuration, this time as a giant Asian mantis. He tries to find his way back to Tristan who constantly worries about Harry and his well being. I swear Harry is a danger magnet!

New characters are introduced, and the previous characters continue their roles, such as Tristan and his love interest, Elena. The suspense build up in this book surpasses the levels in books one and two.

I think if you have read books one and two prior to this one, you will find yourself uncovering answers to questions you may have had lingering from the previous books. Once you connect the dots and learn about the additional character building that the author created in this book, you’ll be even more amazed at the remarkable production established within this series.

Admirable world building, character development and the extraordinary plot.

Personally, I thought the interactions between Tristan, Elena and Harry were heartwarming and adorable. I laughed and teared up multiple times throughout this story. I hope everyone enjoys this book and overall series. This is a unique work of art!

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) Audiobook by Reggi Dupree – Review by Deb Robinson

This audio book was just amazing. Listened in one sitting as I could not turn it off. Oh yes, slack of sleep last night. Well worth it. The narration made the characters come to life for me. Exploding off the page.

This was the first book I have read/listened to from this author and I will most certainly be looking for more.

Gwen is finally back home after being guilty in public opinion of murder. She is hated and treated with disdain. Her plan was to go home to Hoodoo to sign papers and leave. Gwens’ luck is never good and she finds herself again suspected of murder. What the heck is it about this town? No one can be trusted and I mean no one. This was such a wonderful ride with the sassy, don’t mess with me or you will get a tongue lashing main character. Loved loved her attitude, even when she speaks without thinking.

Need to go searching for book 2.

Doctor Frank Enstein is a well known plastic surgeon but it’s not the real kind of medicine he aspires to do. His real goal for getting into medicine was to help burn patients that suffered traumatic injuries. He jumps at the opportunity to head up the new Burn Unit at Eastport General where he feels he can make a difference. Frank meets a barmaid named Barbara Labomba when he is invited out for drinks with a colleague. She tries to strike up conversation having to do with his old work but he wants nothing to do with it. When he finds out her reason for seeking his advice he seeks her out to not only apologize for his rude behavior but to help her any way he can. One thing Frank was not looking for was a romance but Barbara is not someone he can easily forget. Even though things start off rocky for these two there may be a happily ever after on the horizon.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous book as well. I enjoyed reading this book as much, if not more than the first. I found this book to be well written and easy to read. An entertaining story where the game of love could mean more than expected. A story where both characters have unresolved pasts and doing something wrong could just be the right thing. I enjoyed watching Flynn and Chavez grow throughout the story. Their chemistry is great and had me coming back for more. They are great characters that add so much to the story and are my favorites yet. I found their story to be fast paced and engaging. They pull you into their world from the start and keep you there until the end. You don’t want to miss what fate has in store for these two. I highly recommend this book and this author.

First, let me say, that beginning just had me. What a way to start off the story. It’s a fast-paced adventure. I found this was a story that I couldn’t put down. The characters, the action and the drama kept me involved all the way through. Those descriptions of the Supes, phenomenal. They brought up some crazy descriptions in my head. Another winner from this author. This is a definite must read.

Under My Care (Chase Care Book 3)Under My Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another book that takes us back to the Chase Care Center. This is also the 3rd book in the series. I will say that I was not disappointed by this book at all. There seemed to be trauma after trauma or something happening at the turn of every page. It made this book a really quick read because I had to keep turning the pages in order to find out what happened next or how they decided to proceed with doing something. The fact that the two main characters had worked together years previously gives you all the feels. The blizzard is only the tip of the iceberg on what happens in this book. If you like a fast paced love story with some steam and intrigue, I highly suggest this book. The characters give the reader everything from heroic actions to dee character growth. I was not disappointed by this book at all and it kept with the others in the series with the amount of action and resolution it has. You can read this book by itself before reading the others in the series, however, having the knowledge from the first two books gives you the back story on how things are and how they came to be. I would highly suggest reading the other two books first because they are just that good and you will want to read every book in this series. It is a fast paced read that kept me turning pages.

Noah’s Not So Super Summer is a sci fi fun adventure story for teens. It is a story of hopes and dreams, of wanting something so badly that nothing will stand in his way. Well that is other than a mutant infestation, his dad, bullies and atomic wedgies.
The story had me laughing at times whilst feeling bad for our MC at others. Expect the unexpected.

Will he be able to work it out in time to make it in to the Supers Youth Program like he planned?

This was a really enjoyable short romance read. It was a fast paced story that keeps you turning the pages. The characters were both very likeable and worked well together.

Frank was a cosmetic surgeon, he had a well paid job but he wasn’t happy so he leaves to take a job as a surgeon for a burns unit which is very dear to his heart.
When he starts work he meets a barmaid called Barbara who asks for help. She struggles with a bad back due to her big chest so she was looking for a breast reduction.
Unable to help her Frank gives her the details of his friend who could perform the surgery. What Frank doesn’t expect is to fall in love with Barbara.
This is a story about a one night stand that turns into more. As the story progresses we learn all about Frank’s past and why he is driven into the work he does. He has had a hard life and closed himself off to everyone until he meets Barbara.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brindley has known her path in life from the beginning, from the army to the Olympics and a gold medal winner but now she feels like she is drifting not really knowing what she wants to do or were to live, but when she receives another message from her stalker, she is drawn straight back to where is comfortable with friends, Morris Valley.

Adrian has responsibilities ever since he chooses to live with his dad on the ranch at 14, he has been drawn to this little town, but over the years it has been changing and he feels like he is becoming a grumpy old rancher with not many prospects, until his friends decide he needs a girlfriend and what harm can that be?
As his friends start setting him up with girls, he starts to think this is an endless task until one night in walks Brindley and changes his mind forever.

This is not the first book I have read by this author, and this will not be the last. I love the way the author has the ability to create characters are relatable to and that you feel you are their best friends, and you are involved within the story. Brindley’s character is so relatable and the interaction between her friends is just great to read. Adrian’s character as the brooding rancher was a great opposite to Brindley’s character and the chemistry was off the page.

I thought the story was well written and the twists and turns in the story added to the romance and building up of the relationship between the two of them. I can’t wait to read more in this series and get to see things develop for all the characters in this book, especially Clover I hope she gets a happy ever after.

enjoyed Noah’s Not Super Summer immensely. The author writes in a way that you get sucked in immediately. I started the book a few hours ago and kept telling myself just one more chapter. Next thing I knew I was finished.

Noah is a 12 year old kid whose life is anything but super. He gets bullied by the jocks. His dad has a low paying job and they live pretty poor. Plus a pandemic caused people and animals to develop super powers. His dads job is to help collect evidence from the scenes and being them back to the research lab. After being present for an attack by a mutant, Noah’s life turns around. As he searches for the truth to it all he makes new friends and discoveries that lands him on the radar of some bad people.

This book is great for tweens, teens, young adults and anyone looking for an adventure. Please give it a try and check out Brittany’s other novel. It’s really good.

All The World’s A Stage, As They Say

In 1876 Philadelphia, Benjamin Grimm knows real life is much like the theater—people play their parts, hiding behind the illusion of their lives and never revealing their secrets. When he reunites with his childhood friend Eleanor Banneker, his delight turns to dismay. On learning she has been under a spell for the past seven years, forced to live as a servant in her own home, he realizes how sinister some secrets can be.

Ellie has spent the long years since her mother’s death under her stepmother’s watchful and unforgiving eye. Bewitched and hidden in plain sight, it seemed no one could help Ellie escape. Not even her own father, likewise bespelled. When she encounters Ben one evening, he seems immune to the magic that binds her. Her hope rekindles along with their friendship.

But time is running short. If they do not find a way to break the curse before midnight on New Year’s Eve, both Ellie and her father will be bound forever.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely loved this book, and cannot wait to read more in this series! Shooting was always mine and my dad’s thing, it was a passion we shared. When I opened this book and realized what Brinley’s career was I instantly thought of my dad.
When Brinley and her family move at the age of 10, she and her friends make a blood pact to remain best friends forever. Time and distance does nothing to change the bond they all share. She has major success in her life and becomes a world renowned marksman and olympian. A crazy stalker threatens her happy life. She returns home to Morris Valley to take time for herself and reconnect with her lifelong friends, but it doesn’t come without a lot of excitement. Brinley meets the private and somewhat reclusive Adrian and it’s instant attraction between the two. He will go to any lengths to protect Brinley and keep her safe.
The twist this book takes was totally unexpected. I figured her stalker would be someone she knew, but it was not at all who I would have guessed!

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek Book 1) by Samantha Baca – Review by Shadel Ayerbe

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just one time by Samantha Baca is a story full of romance. The passion in the book pulls you right in.

Turning 40 is not the worst thing that can happen. She can’t seem to escape her biological alarm clock, though, and I worry that time is running out. Every day that goes by increases the likelihood that she won’t fulfill her lifelong desire to become a mother.

Her mother’s frequent unsuccessful attempts to hook her up with any new bachelors in town are enough to spark small-town rumors for months. Her bossy and overly critical parent comments never go unheard. Ignore the fact that she attempted to introduce her to the elderly widow who uses a cane and has children close to her age, Old Man Bucky, who lives across the street from her.

This is about the emptiness she’s been carrying about for so long that she fears she’ll never be able to fill it. Her extraordinarily attractive closest friend is ready and prepared to assist her in realizing her dream of becoming a mother.

There is no one she trusts more, even though it may not be the traditional manner to begin a family. They also decided that it would only take place once. Whatever happens, they go with their friendship unbroken. She is aware that this is going beyond the bounds of friendship, but this is her one chance.

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

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy (Sinful Delights)The Sweet Temptations Trilogy by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy was alright. A steamy forbidden fruit romance collection. When I first decided to read it, I didn’t read the synopsis. I thought it was a collection of 3 individual short temptations stories, not 3 connected stories. The author connected each one nicely.
Richard has a beautiful wife but his good looks have put him on the radar of other women. Is he tempted, absolutely! Does he respond, resoundedly! Is it right, depends on who you ask. When catches the eye of his boss and his babysitter he knows despite what his body wants he can’t give in to the desire. But what happens when he does? These books navigate those encounters and how they are handled in steamy detailed way that will have the reader wanting more.
As a whole I said alright. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first story but the other two put me back on board. The first story felt a little slow and all over the place till it was coming to an end. The second and third stories redeemed the collection. I’ve read this author in the past and it is one I will keep on my list of go-tos.
If you want hot, steamy, age-gap, and forbidden. Trust me take a leap it’s all that and more.

I absolutely devoured Kelly Covic’s Insomnia. This collection of 9 short stories is full of scary twists and things that go bump in the night. These stories made my already active imagination run wild! At the end of each story, I felt like I was questioning, “what happened?” “what was making that noise?” and “did I really just read that?” Although the stories were short, Kelly Covic managed to pack them with great world building and a wonderful array of characters. I felt every pounding heart, eyes darting, shallow breath moment in each of the stories. This was my first time reading anything by Kelly Covic, but I am looking forward to reading more!

Definitely be prepared to deal with a tough part of the story, it shook me up a bit while reading. I wasn’t expecting it at all.

Peter and Rowena hadn’t seen one another in seventeen years since they were active duty in Afghanistan. They have a lot to catch up on on top of saving lives and fighting a group of evil and greedy locals.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read several of The Madeline Dawkins Series a couple of years ago. Through the books, Madeline’s character grew from a trophy wife to a private investigator. This all came about due to Madeline’s ex-husband embezzling money through a Ponzi scheme.

Since starting the private investigation business with her friend and now husband Mike, they have proved themselves to be good investigators that complete jobs and also assists the police. In this book, Madeline and Mike are working on solving three different cases that bring them work but stress too.

I really missed reading the series. I love Madeline and Mike’s personalities and how they work together. The author does a wonderful job of creating the atmosphere and locations the PI business takes them to. I look forward to catching up on reading the books in this series that I missed.

I enjoy romance novels like the best of them, and add in a sexy sports athlete and you can feel temps rise. I did not immediately like Chavez. He is arrogant and very sure of himself in getting what he wants. It was hard to imagine the chemistry between Chavez and Flynn until the story delved deeper into their personal lives and you realize they both have monumental pasts that they are trying to escape or use to change their future.

Flynn is a successful author turned motivational guru. Past tennis star that due to unfortunate circumstances stopped playing the game and has never touched a racket since. Chavez is a talented tennis player that could never quite break the barrier into the world of the greats. So everyone is thrown for a loop when on his best season yet he leaves the game, turns out Chavez has some family issues to resolve. In a twist of fate, one in a million type things, they run into each other in their therapists office and sets something in motion that neither can explain. While Flynn isn’t looking to get anywhere near the world of tennis or that close to Chavez for obvious reasons, he convinces her to become his motivational guru/tennis coach. As sparks fly and past truths get revealed can they ever find what they are truly looking for? Can Chavez rise to the top of his game and earn the respect he so much desires? Can Flynn break out of her shell and her past and get back to the writing she loves or will she be stuck in someone else’s idea of success?

This book is not only filled with romance and action but the storyline itself flows like a beautiful tapestry as you maneuver your way through their trials and tribulations. We all have a past and sometimes the hardest thing is to get past it. Get past the hurt, anger, and every other emotion so it doesn’t weigh you down and make reaching your future aspirations so challenging. This was definitely a great read with a lot of introspective moments for me about moving past what is in the past, and outrunning the expectations of others.

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) by Reggi Dupree – Review by Aranza

Return to Hoodoo: Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1 AUDIO BOOK By Reggi Dupree

4.5 Stars out of 5 Stars

This was my first time with a Reggi Dupree book and I was completely drawn to it. The main character is so much fun and relatable (without the supernatural aspect). I feel in love with Hoodoo and all the people in it. I was very pleased with the audiobook since the voice of the main character goes perfect with the story. As usual, I listen to audiobooks on my way to work and then on the way back home but with this book it was impossible to stop listening. Be advised that it will leave you in a little bit of a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next book.

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler – Review by Lisa Helmick

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2)The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This started out great! Pulled me in to the story and the characters. As the book went along I was struggling to stay involved and focused. It picks back up near the end and finishes strong. It is a reverse age gap(which is only about 8yrs) and its also touted as a interracial couple. It is but not really and honestly it is very subtle as I am more Interested in each character individually more than what race they are. More importantly this also is full of secrets, lies and sensual tension. I liked that the character is in a sport we do not read about much in romance novels.

The characters are well done. I felt the emotions along with each main personality. Chavez frustrated me at times but I think that is the emotions of a professional player always in the “on” position.

There is a lot I liked about this one. His family, his job, her job and their connection are all interesting to me. The suspense and drama are also good. I also had that Awww factor going a couple times. I just struggled but it could have been my life right now. I would read another story by this author as I feel they stray away from the normal and give something a little different.
