Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and SunDawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun by Hadley Thorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An extremely good read that mingles vampire and fae beautifully.

What begins as almost melancholy; a life forced upon Connor the devishly handsome vampire. Soon becomes intermingled with a beautiful Fae Niahm. A journey of self discovery and one of soulmates; true love.
Familiar rifts and successions to the crown are tarnished with the greed of a single family member. I read on the edge of my seat eager and wanting what’s next.

Ending on a lovers note this book left me happy but wanting more. Perhaps there will be more to come ! I sure hope there will be.

Pulling Together by Lois Wickstrom
4 Stars

When Lila sees her grandmother knitting a poncho with three head holes, she thinks that she has definitely made a mistake. All her grandmother says is “We all pull together “. Not really understanding, Lila puts on the poncho and goes out to play. By the end of the day, Lila realizes that her grandmother didn’t make a mistake and understands the reason for the three head holes. This is a great book to teach children to help others even those that they think don’t deserve it. This is a fantastic way to show kids that sticking together is always better!

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abby just turned 40 and she feels like her biological clock is ticking. She wants to start a family…but, since she is single, she isn’t quite sure how to make that dream come true. When her sister, Jane, recommends finding someone to sleep with, just one time, to try and get pregnant, Abby knows just the person.
Nate, the local firefighter captain, has been Abby’s best friend since they were both 7. When Abby begins talking about finding someone to have a baby with, he volunteers. First out of friendship….but he has always had a thing for his best friend.
What these two have is chemistry that is off the charts! Abby also has a pushy mother that is determined to set her up with a new local bachelor. Add in her ex-boyfriend returning…and you’ve got all sorts of situations that could go wrong. You will have to read to find out if Abby and Nate can figure out their own relationship issues before they cause a falling out that they might not be able to come back from.
I enjoyed these characters. The story felt real…and some of the situations were honest and hilarious. I also enjoyed the banter and spark of interest between Jane and Capshaw…so I’m wondering if they will be the next book. Overall, a good story that kept my interest from beginning to end.

Pulling Together by Lois Wickstrom

Pulling Together is a wonderfully written children’s book that children of any age will enjoy and adults to. My son and I are huge funs of this author and this may be our favorite yet. The one thing I love about this author is there’s always something to gain from reading her books for example learning to share or how to work together This is about Pulling Together. Lila’s grandma knits her a poncho but she thinks grandma made a mistake. While outside playing she comes across three kids who need her help including one kid who is the neighborhood bully. What will Lila do? Will she help all three kids? My son loved the story and the illustrations. He even had his own opinion on what Lila should do. I highly recommend reading this heart warming children’s book to find out what Lila did? I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2) by Isla Vaughn
Genre – New Adult, Romance
Cover Designer – TE Black Designs

Rejected by a teenage god.

Lies so dangerous our lives are at stake.

A game worth playing.

Cole Savage doesn’t hate anyone as much as he hates me… or the fact that he wants me just as much.

We all have issues, and the less he knows about me, the better. I just have to keep him unbalanced, which is harder than I thought it would be.

Yeah, he wants me.

But I want him just as much.

And that’s a secret I’ll kill over.

Until I overhear Cole saying “she’s not my type.”

Game on, pretty boy.

Because the kiss that seared me to my core told a different story.

Let’s see how tall and proud he walks when I put him in his place—which is hands-off of me.

Other People’s Money (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book #7) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Angela Hayes

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

 

4.5 Stars

 

Other People’s Money is the seventh book in The Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. Oh boy- Madeline and crew have their work cut out for them solving this slew of new cases. From embezzlement to unearthing a Gold Digger, every clue they uncover leads to more questions, complications, tangled web of secrets, manipulation, scams and cons, in the grab for other people’s money. But nothing is as it appears to be and the team seem to hit block after block- so will they ever manage to uncover the truth and finally close their cases- or will this be the time that Madeline and team get outplayed by the bad guys? Add in some tension, adventure, drama, mystery, suspense, doubts, and interconnected details- and things take quite an intriguing turn.
This book could be read as a standalone- but I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as even though each book is a self-contained mystery/adventure, and each delivers its own fantastic read- all combined, they help to build detail, character information and development, and impart other important and intriguing information that creates a bigger picture, which, in turn, will enhance your overall reading experience. So, trust me, it is definitely worth starting this series at the beginning!
Cynthia Hamilton is one of my favourite authors, and Madeline Dawkins is one of my ‘must read- no questions asked’ series that I have loved since devouring book one. I doubt if I will ever tire of her adventures, so I hope there are many more to come.
Looking forward to diving into Breach of Trust (Book #8)!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cynthia Hamilton!

White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Vanessa Watts

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

As a former military brat I understand the transient lifestyle we were forced to lead and how it impacted my decisions as an adult as well. Until I married a military man and we have done our best to keep our girls in the same area. The same school system and maintain the same friends for as long as they last here, it is a huge military area. The sense of always giving of yourself and receiving very little in return is a hard life to lead and continually pushes you to want more.

That is what Ju;lie is experiencing, the life of motherhood is not an easy one and oftentimes very lonely. Julie decides she needs to give her kids the childhood she never had. That is until tragedy strikes and they lose someone within their inner circle. Julie tries to tighten the reins on everyone in the family to ensure their safety but in turn only ends up punching them away. Will they ever be able to move past the tragedy or will their family dynamic be the next one?

This is a story about a mother’s love, sacrifice, and the decisions we make that alter our lives forever whether that be good or bad. As someone who has walked some of that life and dealt with guilt that eats at your very soul this book was well written in a way that showcases not only the power of a mother’s love but the strength, perseverance, and survival that goes along with it. I will be recommending this book to others that may connect as deeply as I did to Julie!

This was a wonderful reimagining of the Romanov family. Instead of just one daughter that escapes death, there are 4 daughters. They are all so very different from each other and out in the world alone. Olga, oldest sister, sets out to stop a book from being published that would destroy her mother’s name as well as any prospect the 4 girls have of ever being able to live a life out of hiding. She is not prepared for where this journey will lead her. This story has wonderful characters that you just can’t help but want to get to know. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

Rogue (The Talisman Series Book 6)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Tam DeRudder Jackson; the original synopsis drew me to this story immediately. Within the first few pages the story developed into so much more than I expected, while Baz is a rogue it is not exactly by choice. Taking the best option in a bad situation he has been a rogue now for three years, but his key goal is to introduce a new class of Celtic fighters outside of the current black and white status of warriors and rogues. Reading that a warrior has until their 28th birthday I thought it was some type of trinket but meeting Delaney you quickly learn that it is the fated mate of a warrior, she is his talisman.
Working for the war goddess Morrigan is not an easy task but it’s better than allowing her to kill you the day of your birthday when you fail to find your talisman. While Baz completes every mission Morrigan gives him, she is not his true patroness, and he has an alternative goal in his life. He wants to go to one of the many other deities and start a third class of Celtic fighters, mercenaries, with him as their leader. Morrigan has her rogues hunting the Sheridan family warriors though, it is through Delaney’s perspective you learn why. A Sheridan ancestor denied the goddess’s offer to go to bed with her, being that they are descendants of a clan of demigods they can survive a night in her bed without dying from the experience. A thousand-year curse finally broken by Rowan and Alyssa Sheridan’s wedding giving rogues and talismans until the age of forty-two to find each other, which is a huge thing considering they originally only had seven years to find each other between the sign ceremony and their 28th birthday. Delaney now has hope once again for the first time in two years that she may still have a chance at love and happiness. Baz while pondering the possibility he wonders more so how it could affect his ultimate mission. When given the opportunity to move and have a training room for his rogues he takes the chance leading to the unexpected.
Will Baz succeed in getting his own class of fighters? How do Delaney and Baz find each other? Is their bond strong enough to save her? The incredible world the author creates pulls you in on page one and continues to build until the very end. I found myself feeling the irritation and shock with the characters and the ultimate fear and love Delaney and Baz feel when she is robbed of her memories. This is a page turner from start to finish and is a refreshing read. Instead of the young coming of age stories of olde this book is with older characters in their early thirties getting the chance to find their warrior and talisman. I look forward to reading more of this amazing series very soon.

Fallen Soul was such an amazing read! It exceeded my expectations and is so wonderfully written. I did read this book as a standalone, but after enjoying it so much I am on my way to pick up the first three in the series now. Lane feeds on his own kind which is not allowed so he is a wanted vampire. He has succeeded in being invisible for so long until he runs into a different group of vampires. None of them are trying to kill him. They even live with humans instead of feeding on and killing them. Can he trust them, or will he end up being their enemy as well? The author has such a mesmerizing way of telling the story and it flows so well. I was pulled into this world so quickly and now I really hope there is plenty more of this series!

Fallen Soul (War of Destiny # 4)Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book 4 in the ‘War of Destiny’ series. Usually the main character is a part of the ka-tet that has been the main focus of the series, this time it follows Lane.

Lane is a rogue vampire. Alone for years with a bounty on his head from Valentino, the king of vampires himself, for feeding off his fellow vampire. He sees himself as a monster and thinks he is doing a service by killing off other monsters. Other vampires fear him and think he is insane, that is until he meets Julia.

Julia is the first vampire in years to not know who he is and what he is capable of. This makes her intriguing to Lane. After this encounter he keeps running into her no matter where he goes. It’s as if it is destiny that Lane and the lives of Julia and the rest of the ka-tet keep crossing paths. The more he learns about this group, the more questions he has. Valentino and the vampire hunters are also hunting Julia for reasons unknown to Lane. He is willing to defend the group but can he trust them or are they just like the others and want him dead?

I have read all the books in the series so far and I think this one is my favourite. Lane is so used to being alone that he is scared to trust. The author does a really good job portraying the struggle within. Lane hates what he is and what he has done in the past. If he can’t love himself how can anyone else?

This book is the fourth in a series. While this technically could be read without reading the other books, I wouldn’t recommend it. There are a lot of characters, and it is a continuation of an overall story. This book is almost a retelling of book three. The first three books follow Julia’s point of view. This one follows Lane who Julia meets in book 3. We get to see the rest of what was going on during the third book. I completely enjoyed this one as an avid reader of the series. I have enjoyed all four in the series and am anxiously awaiting the rest of the story. If you haven’t read the series, go read it!

Other People’s Money is the seventh book in the Madeline Dawkins series. This can be read as a standalone book but is much more enjoyed if read after the preceding books in the series. Madeline is on the case again with her husband, Mike, and associate Samir. What starts as one case quickly grows to three in this book. Are the cases related, or do they have a common thread of “Other People’s Money”? I always enjoy the build-up of suspense in this author’s books, and this one didn’t disappoint. Madeline and her team work well together and always figure out the case, but I enjoy the journey. The cases in this book were intriguing and kept me questioning who was at the bottom of everything. I look forward to grabbing the next book in the series soon.

This book is my first one by this author and I’m glad I took a chance on it. I think this story touched on some issues and it was written very well. This book brought out some emotional feelings. It was hard to like Dan very much in the beginning but as I read on we get to see changes and growth in him. Dan has hit a rough patch in his life with his divorce and trying to have a relationship with his daughter even though he’s gone a lot over the road and he gets pulled over without his license. He ends up having to ride with Jake because he needs to get his license to be able to ride by himself. Jake is a great guy in many ways. There is also a great dog in this story and she breaks up some of the seriousness in the book. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend reading it. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Mike and Madeline Dawkins are faced with a new case to solve. As they begin to investigate the case of the missing bookkeeper who’s also embezzled money, other cases start to land in their laps too. Jane is concerned for the business she and her husband run when their bookkeeper and tenant has disappeared over the weekend. She was last seen with a man driving a black Range Rover.

George and Daphne are ready to go get hitched but George’s son has an inkling that Daphne may not be on the up and up. She is, after all, thirty years younger than George. Mike and Madeline are hired, along with their team, to investigate who Daphne really is and try to prevent this union from taking place.

Stacey has insider information when her company is about to go public and she begins shorting her shares of the company. Then she disappears. It seems she may have more than one love interest so could one of them be the culprit?

With all these cases going on at once, Mike approaches Madeline to see if they might want to employ more help in their PI business. As if Madeline needed anyone stress in her life…or could this be a help to them?

This is book 7 in a series that is new to me. I have not read the previous six books but I thoroughly enjoyed this one enough that I will be seeking out the previous books. I felt like this was able to be read as a standalone even though this is part of a series. I enjoyed the writing style of Cynthia Hamilton and how she weaved together multiple cases and tied them all up in the end with a bit of a twist. Several times I thought I had figured out the case but I was wrong!

Fallen Soul (War of Destiny # 4)Fallen Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lane Marlow is a vampire, but unlike most others, he lives alone and prefers his own company, but it is much more than that, not long after he was turned, he was forced to abandon the country of his birth and while discovering what it meant to have this new life, he was eventually shunned for the way he decided to live it, by feeding off of other vampires. At this time, the way Lane lived had made its way to the King of the vampires, Valentino and he wasn’t very impressed in the slightest, so he ordered his Council to apprehend Lane and deliver him to his prison cells, it was here that he was condemned to death, but Lane had other ideas and he escaped.

Nobody knows quite what happened to Lane in Valentino’s care, or how exactly he escaped and Lane keeps his cards very close to his chest, so he allows the rumours to follow him because it made his life easier in one way, but harder in another. All of this has led Valentino to decree that any vampire who sees Lane must kill him on site, but Lane isn’t easy to kill, so to keep his sanity in tact, he decides to return to his homeland, but makes a pit stop in Rome, this is where he runs into Valentino’s Council members again, but they aren’t the only ones.

As he is hunting, Lane comes across a group of vampires who are not what they seem and do not live like other vampires, they live with humans and they aren’t all scared of him, plus the most mystifying of all is that they don’t attack him onsite, in fact they help him! Lane is struggling to wrap his head around him, but colour him intrigued, he wants to know more, could this lead to an uneasy, but welcomed alliance, or are they just playing him and stringing along like others in his past and become just another obstacle to his return home? This is another fantasy adventure which is full of supernatural beings and danger which lurks in every shadow, where stories are exchanged and futures are uncertain, when the pasts bleeds into them.
