My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first Ariella Talix and oh boy, was it worth it! I absolutely love stories of characters reconnecting and rekindling what was left behind. Caro, Greyson, and Nash, in their younger years, were in a band together but when the music stopped, they ended up going their separate ways. Now down the road some years apart, Nash and Caro end up reconnecting at the Kentucky Derby. After catching up with one another, they realize their third counterpart, Greyson, is missing in the mix but when they reach out to him. They find out that Greyson is about to get married to a much younger woman and they go over to pay him a visit. Once they are all together at Mash’s beautiful ranch, they realize what they had been missing all this time. Absolutely must read and definitely keep my eye out for the next one!

As soon as I read about this book, I was immediately drawn to it. As a single mother, you make many sacrifices whether it involves your family, children, other loved ones, career, you name it. But life without your child leaves one vacant. In the beginning, the reader gets to see the true nature of Celia as she prepares for one of her friend’s weddings and manages the bridesmaid’s duties and handles her daughter as well. Unexpectedly she bumps into someone at the wedding, her ex, Kyle, who she broke his heart as he left to play baseball. At the time, Celia managed to keep quiet that when she left Kyle, she ended up being pregnant. As Kyle sees for the first time in a long time, all his feelings come bursting through. Although he has tried moving on, he hasn’t been successful and doing so. Now Celia is faced with telling the truth and seeing how things end up. The chemistry between these characters are vividly depicted by the author and you can feel their connection. This read was very engulfing and I cannot wait to read more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. A story that has twists and turns that you won’t see coming. A story where you are pulled into a dark, dangerous world full of revenge and obsession. A well written story where the author used details to pull you into the story. A fast paced story that is engaging and hard to put down. Mitch is a great character that adds so much to the story. He finds himself accused of a student killing themselves. As his life falls apart so does the past come to the present. This is a great thriller. I highly recommend this book.

Fetching DreamsFetching Dreams by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Neyah is a young girl living in Africa, which means that she misses school a lot due to having to walk many miles a day to fetch water for her family to use for food, bathing, washing, crops and livestock. When her school starts a pen pal project with a group of middle school students in Minnesota, Neyah gets to know an American teenager named Abby. Abby is surprised by how different things are, such as a lack of running water, or that Neyah is the one that has to miss school and not her four brothers. Throughout the book, we see many problems that Neyah faces in her daily life, such as diseases caused by lack of clean water, her dad’s lack of willingness to change how things have always been done, the dangers of her climb to and from the different water sources in her area of Africa, bandits, and the possibility that her father will sell her as a second wife for cattle. Neyah at first thinks that Abby’s life is “perfect”, but quickly we learn that Abby has issues of her own. Her parents are struggling after issues of their own, and then Abby ends up with a brain tumor. The girls start working together to get access to water in Neyah’s village, by raising money and awareness of the situation that Neyah lives every day. This is a great book for reminding people that everyone has their issues, we are not that much different than other people our age in other places around the world. This is a great book for adults and teenagers, alike.

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed her take on no matter what the person looks like they all have big hearts. I enjoyed these illustrations that will keep any child engaged. This would be a great story for any child that is just meeting their teacher. It is a fun story with fun characters that make teachers look not so scarry. It pulls them into the story and is easy for them to read. I enjoyed this children’s book and so will your children. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars

Sacrifice Bunt is book 2 of the Ground Rule Series and I simply loved the story of Noah and Zara.
This sports romance full of friendships, enemies to lovers, sugar, spice and everything nice that I love and devour. I highly recommend reading this series in order as the characters from the beginning are woven into this book as well….

Noah and Zara meet a few years prior on a chance encounter that to Zara, what not her most shining moment…but Noah does save Zara, but then disappears. Years later, Zara and Noah meet again, and even though they never forgot about each other……Zara is standoffish, hurt and puzzled on why Noah disappeared….Zara is also not into relationships and is totally focused on her job, in which she worked so hard to achieve. Noah tries to swoon Zara, knowing she was the girl for him…but plays it out to see if he can get the girl he always wanted.

Zara gives Noah one night together, but will it be enough? Will Zara eventually break down her harden walls around her heart to give Noah a chance?

I truly loved this book and I am already looking forward to reading book 3! I am definitely going to circle back on other books as well from this author…..Highly Recommended!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a book that grips your heartstrings with the story of two girls living two different lives with two separate challenges but they are both so strong and brave. Neyah has a very tough life and yet she perseveres and continues to write of her adventures to Abby. We get an idea of what is going on. There are moments of joy and moments of heart break. For Abby, life is different. She may have more but she is facing her own battle. We learn about her adventures in her letters to Neyah. I felt like I was on the emotional roller coaster with this book. It was a good thing because this story reminds you that you are alive and blessed. The author does a very good job of making this story feel realistic. The writing and the characters just keep you wanting to find out what’s coming next. This story is a definite tearjerker so I’d keep tissues handy. It’s one of the best YA stories I’ve read this year.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has to be the best psychological thriller I’ve read this year. I couldn’t put it down once I started. Was the main character the criminal or the victim? It was really hard to tell (and I’m not telling you which he was). You have to read this. It’s a story that will play games with your mind as well as his. There are twists, some you see coming and some you don’t. I found there were characters that you could love and hate. Some things weren’t as they seemed. This book is like a total mind test to test you. After finishing, I wondered if somebody was using my mind as a test (just kidding). It’s that kind of thriller. The suspense will get you. Amazing book! I love this author. She writes fantastic books that will get you to the core. An absolute must read. 5+ book.

Zara and Noah’s story is a slow burn romance. Their story is unique as to how they met. I found it entertaining and a quick read. The chemistry is there. Once that spark is reunited**BANG! I did love how the author put mental health and self-care into the story. I thought that was a nice touch. The supporting characters were great. The interactions between Heath and Noah were…Legendary!!! There is quite a bit of steam for the romance lovers. Quick and entertaining read. Perfect for a weekend book.

What a really sweet romance. Simon and Tessa are so different. He’s a lab nerd and she’s a bestselling author. Yet, in the airport they come together and a “relationship” sparks. I found the story to be a nice slow-burn as these two total opposites somehow lit that Bunsen burner into a romance. I found the characters to well written. They were relatable. It made the story easy to read because you felt like you were reading about best friends. It could be me, I have friends that are that weird, lol. I loved how the story flowed even with it being a sporadic travel story. It’s a different type of romance that I recommend. I hope to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intensely romantic!! This paranormal romance is the tale of two souls trying to find each other again. A sweet story mixed in with the vampires of Louisiana. I loved how the author wrote with the flair of Louisiana. You could read it, taste it in the descriptions of the food and the restaurants. Going back and forth to tell the story of these two souls shared so much. The interaction between Cait and Ev was flirty and humorous. I enjoyed at times watching that develop. As I read, the suspense developed. I noticed secrets pop up. Some were not who they said they were. Cait walked into the unknown. This is quite an entertaining read for paranormal romance fans.

What a beautiful story of second-chances. Maria has spent her life doing what everyone else wanted her to do. After getting a divorce from her husband, she gets a taste of what makes her happy. Oz is a rocker friend of her sister and her fiancée. These two have some serious sparks. Can they overcome baggage and issues to make it work? Watching them work through and grow as a couple is delightful and to watch the two bands grow is fun. This was my first taste of this series and I’m hooked. I fell in love with the characters. Best part was seeing Maria get the courage and strength to stand up for herself and what was right for her. I love romances with strong female protagonist. Great story and a quick read.

A really cute second chance romance. A couple 20 years ago, Phoebe broke Laurent’s heart. She smashed that sucker. Now she’s back to take him up on their silly pack to get married. Now it’s time for a fake romance. Oh, these two still have chemistry and it’s fun to watch them move past all that has happened. The characters are well-written and entertaining. The plot is a hair predictable but I am a sucker for romances in the vineyards. The family would try the patience of a saint and I think Laurent needs the break. It’s a fun, quick and entertaining read that any romance lover would enjoy. I hope to see more about the family in future books. This is a new author to me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Walk off by Bree Kraemer is a great second chance romance that leaves you wanting more.

Kyle and Celia have a common history. Lies, passion, half-truths, and hurt abound in this past. Kyle’s heart was broken when Celia dumped him eight years ago, but she also broke her own, in all honesty. Although they both moved on, they discovered that they still had a special place in their hearts for one another. They reignite their emotions for one another when they run into one another at the wedding of a mutual acquaintance. Kyle is a gracious person. But eight years ago, Celia made that decision for him.

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

Walk Off is the first book in the Ground Rule Series and is a Sports / Second Chance Romance that I had a hard time putting down. I’ve read several books by this author and her style of writing is creative and pulls you in with ease. Her characters are well developed and relatable and they make the story come to life. This is a fast paced second chance romance that will take you on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. The chemistry between these two is incredible even after the years apart. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This tale of three women facing life after a tragedy is wonderful and horrible. Each having to find their way in the world after, each having to figure out how to live life after. What does that even mean?

Julie, the flight attendant, has to find purpose in her life after fighting a fight to change the rules that no one wants to change. She also has to manage to live after following protocol, but that doesn’t take away the guilt.

Paige, the toddler, has to figure out who she is while living under the shadow of the tragedy. The physical remnants of the accident will always remind her but will they also keep her from moving forward?

Marie, the mom, has to determine who she is after losing part of herself in the accident. Filling her life with kids’ activities, chores, errands, and stuff doesn’t fill the hole, but is she missing out on what is really important? Marie needs to focus on the life she has in front of her, her husband and three kids, not what is missing.

Wonderful storytelling that weaves the connections and tears in these women’s lives.

Mitch Wegner had it all: a prestigious career as a professor, a loving wife, and a reputation as a brilliant academic. But when a student takes his own life and Mitch is blamed, his life quickly spirals out of control. As his marriage falls apart and his job is put on the line, Mitch finds himself descending into a dark and dangerous world.

Haunted by his past and fueled by his own narcissism, Mitch makes a series of increasingly desperate choices that lead him down a path of violence and betrayal. When another person on campus mysteriously dies, Mitch becomes the prime suspect, but the truth behind the killings is far more twisted than anyone could have imagined.

 In this gripping psychological thriller, author Nadija Mujagic takes readers on a heart-pounding journey through the mind of a man consumed by his own ego and the dark secrets that he thought he had buried. With twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end, The Master of Demise is a chilling tale of obsession, revenge, and the terrifying consequences of our actions.

Caitlin DeDanann’s life is a hot mess. Recently dumped. Overworked. Burned out. Her upcoming time off is the one thing that has gotten her through it all. Until her boss ruins her vacation by sending her on yet another assignment. What she thinks is just a routine background investigation turns out to be so much more.

 Vampire Evariste Gage Arsceneaux has spent over three hundred years riddled with guilt. Guilt over losing his wife. Guilt over a curse that doomed his family. Guilt over being turned into an immortal. Evariste throws himself into the one thing that can provide a much-needed distraction from suffocating remorse: work.

Reunited through an unwelcome business proposition, Evariste stares in disbelief into the unique eyes of his long-deceased wife. Knowing their time together is short, he uses their professional relationship and Louisiana’s flavorful cuisine to keep her close to him, hoping to spark the memory of their love.

Will the two let business dealings over sumptuous meals turn into something more? Or will hot tempers, pride, and spiteful ghosts from the past destroy any chance of a happily ever after?

Zara Dewan liked sex.

What she didn’t like were relationships.

She’d never been in one nor did she plan to.

From her job as a sports agent, to her friends, to the no strings attached sex, she liked her life as it was.

There was just one problem. Noah Ashe.

She told herself over and over that she didn’t want him. The only problem was, she wasn’t sure he got the memo.

Since the moment Noah had walked in on Zara naked on his couch, he’d had a thing for her. A big thing.

The problem was, she despised him. Vehemently.

One night, all that changed. One kiss led to more and soon Noah wanted it all from her.

What would it take for each of them to sacrifice a little of themselves for love?

Bree Kraemer writes contemporary romance, sometimes with a lot of hot, steamy sex and sometimes with just a little. She lives in Ohio with her husband and 3 kids, all who are teenagers and make her want to pull her hair out. Hence her use of the F-word and the drinking of margaritas.

When Tessa Talman first meets Simon Fremont, not only is she attracted to him, she’s intrigued by how different their lives are. He’s a dedicated scientist, practical, pragmatic, and grounded. She’s a head-in-the-clouds romance author. As their relationship grows, they meet in places around the world, while continuing to live in different countries.

Though their feelings for each other deepen, their priorities remain the same. Simon is in a hurry to be financially sound and settle down, but Tessa is enjoying her freedom and newfound success. Neither is willing to give in, but as each goodbye gets harder, Tessa begins to wonder whether fame is the path to happiness, or if she has everything she needs in Simon.

Just as Tessa finds the courage to go after her own happily ever after, the unthinkable happens, separating them in ways she never imagined.

To move forward, she must let go of the past and determine once and for all if love is truly more powerful than the pain of goodbye.

Anna Gomez was born and raised in the city of Makati, Philippines before she met and married her best friend who whisked her away to Chicago over twenty years ago.

Anna is a full time career woman who thought she could write a book about her life (The Light in the Wound, Christine Brae 2013) and then run away as far as possible from it. She never imagined that her words would touch the hearts of so many women with the same story to tell. Since then, Anna has released six more books under her pen name, Christine Brae.

In December 2019, her agent convinced her to write one more book. Different model, different subject matter. Clean, contemporary, happy endings. Reluctantly, she decided to give it a try. This time, under her real name, Anna Gomez.

When not listening to the voices in her head or spending late nights at the office, Anna can be seen shopping for shoes and purses, running a half marathon or spending time with her husband and three children in Chicago.

Anna is represented by Italia Gandolfo of Gandolfo Helin Literary Management, and is published by the Vesuvian Media Group.

Trapping the Butterfly (Butterflies Fly Free Series Book 1) by Debra Parmley – Review by Beverly Finnie

/0 Comments/in /by

Trapping the ButterflyTrapping the Butterfly by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was alright. I definitely enjoyed reading books by this author in the past, and Trapping the Butterfly wasn’t one of my favorites. I would rate it a solid 3.75 out of 5. But I didn’t hate it. It’s an interesting story idea. I like period romances, 1920s. I’ve always enjoyed mob ties, the Chicago outfit of Italian Mob in the 1920s. An innocent girl getting caught up in something over her head craving freedom. Those 3 pieces put together make an intriguing story. I just didn’t love how it ended up. Bethany craves freedom and her inheritance is about to turn 18. Making her an adult, right? Well yeah but one that lacks any life experience since she’s been sheltered. In comes Paul – a cop. Mr. Rivalde the man her uncle & aunt want her to marry. Finally Rocco, one of Capone’s men. What will she do? Who does she want? Her navigation through the web she’s been caught in due to her need for freedom, is what plays out. I do really enjoy this author. Just because it wasn’t my favorite book by her, what I laid out will intrigue anyone who loves this genre. Give it a chance. It just might be the diamond in the rough you’re looking for.

Breathless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book 3) by KG Fletcher – Review by Vanessa Watts

/0 Comments/in /by

Breathless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #3)Breathless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me feeling all the things. From the aww they are so sweet to that was not very smart it reminds me of everyday life and that in and of itself is the tell of a great story. The ability to connect it to the experiences that we face daily is a talent that not everyone possesses.

Hank is a small-time country musician but when his band breaks up, he is forced to choose whether to continue to pursue a solo music career or relinquish his dreams to work on the family farm. Stuck in limbo and not knowing what to do he decides to go to a Travis Miller concert, the one person that is his idol in the country music world. This leads down a path that could change his life forever and just so happens to come wrapped up in beautiful Ella Mae. The attraction flies immediately and they both know that heading down the rabbit hole could be dangerous especially once Hank finds out just who Ella Mae is. Unable to resist his charms Ella Mae convinces Hank to join them on the road for the last of their tour stops. However, Travis does not like all the time and extra attention that Ella Mae is now giving to Hank. Can they overcome Travis’ objections to begin a relationship? Will Hank get his country music career off the ground or is he destined to become caretaker of the family farm?

I really enjoyed this book, especially the banter and interactions between Hank and Ella Mae. It kind of takes me back to the dating phase of my life. This book is a great beach read, and it will have you crying, laughing, and wanting to yell at the characters sometimes.

Huff… Puff… Grind! (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Shannen Kern

Huff...Puff...Grind! The 3 Little Pigs Get Smart: a science folktale (Science Folktales)Huff…Puff…Grind! The 3 Little Pigs Get Smart: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What another fun retelling of a classic children’s story! We love bringing home Lois Wickstrom’s books because we all know we are for a super great read as well as some good conversations afterward. The illustrations are just beautiful and help set the feel of each scene as we move through some smart piggies! Both of my kiddos loved it as they are really interested in anything STEM related, so I feel like this book was perfectly timed for this family! The story flows amazingly as always, and the author once again shows how well putting your mind to a tough situation (especially together) turns out if you don’t give up. I highly recommend picking this up and enjoying it with the little ones in your life. I bet you all have a wonderful adventure!
