People SafariPeople Safari by Feather Chelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

People Safari by Feather Chelle was a super cute, kids-oriented look at the human world from an animal perspective. The story is lead by Ranger Marco the Racoon as he teaches the Deer family about humans. The story is perfect for those nights kids want a longer bedtime story. The illustrations by Pandu Permana are an adorable way to bring kids into the story more. Happy reading!

Underneath The Whiskey by Chelsea Lauren – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Underneath The WhiskeyUnderneath The Whiskey by Chelsea Lauren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

🌟🌟🌟🌟

This story is raw, gut wrenching and truly a roller coaster of emotion. Overall a really good story that I know hits home.

Emotions are high between Benjamin, Sophia and Caden…trying to navigate life, family and true feelings…sometimes just doing what has to be done day to day. Ben and Sophia are trying to raise their family the best way possible, but Ben also has turmoil within, struggling with his sexuality.
Ben believes that having a successful family after being made to go through torcherous therapy per Sophia is what he has to do. Everything changes when Ben meets Caden…..at first Ben hiring Caden on with his company but it turns into something more. When lies turn into more lies of Ben struggling to be with Sophia and Caden at the same time….the inner emotional turmoil comes to a full boil.

Will Ben be able to overcome and be truthful with both Sophia and Caden about his sexuality and stop hurting all that want to love him back?

This story is a lot of ups and downs, the heartbreaks, lies, abuse…..this was a very good story….

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Ayla Phipps

The Wandering Isles (The Crown of Stones)The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Details. While this is not the first book, I have read by the talented C.L. Schneider, it is the first book about Ian Troy, and the world of A Crown of Stones that I have read. As the synopsis states this book can be either a continuation of the original series or an introduction. Being new to the series this book served as an amazing introduction to the characters of Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane.
Ian Troy was once the Fated savior of the Rellan people during the endless wars with the Langorians. Given nearly infinite power fear led him to give it all away and take on the addiction to magic of his entire race, Shinree. Jarryd Kane is the person, friend, crewmate, that Ian takes with him when he leaves his homeland and all that it represents. Leaving Mirra’kelan was one of Ian’s hardest decisions to make, and to ask Jarryd to leave his son and loved ones behind to follow him. Saving the people, he was a reminder of a history everyone wanted to forget and a savior that was no longer needed. Setting out on the fabled journey of his Shinree ancestors, the first stop was The Wandering Isles, thinking they were abandoned. Finding them they find more than they ever anticipated, they are magical beings but not one that Ian can identify or recognize the magic of. Isuara, their leader and her male attendant Taalman tell them the only way they leave is with a trade. With no choice they are taken from their ship, their clothes changed and thrown into their worst fears. Ian quickly becomes aware but when one moment can’t be contradicted with facts, he is left doubting himself. Jarryd is thrown back in prison, told Ian is dead and no help will ever come. He contradicts the words being said to him with his memories of events only for the hope to slip further away, his half soul left helpless and alone in the darkness. The only way to be free is to do it their way: Endure the process. Claim their bottles. Complete the trade.
Will they be able to endure the process, or will their minds be too broken to finish? Can they find their way back to each other and their ship? Did they make a mistake when they left their homeland? The first book I read by this amazing author was Necrosis, and like that book the level of details leave you sometimes squirming as the visual fills your mind. Her ability to give such a detailed, complete image in everything she describes is incredible. I anxiously await the next book in this series and am already planning to go back and read A Crown of Stones. This world is unlike any other I have ever read, and one little taste is not enough, I need more.

Fireflies (The Physical Collection) by A.R. Hadley – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Fireflies (The Physical Collection)Fireflies by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fireflies is an erotic story that follows bisexual, polyamorous couple Mike and Dane as they navigate changes in their needs and relationship. It’s part of The Physical Collection but these are all standalone stories so you don’t need to read any of the others to enjoy this one!

What drew me to this book is the representation of polyamory. Mike and Dane have been together for seven years and are a more mature couple (in their 40s/50s). Polyamory has meant different things to them over the course of their relationship – from independently hooking up with other people to shared encounters. They have to navigate their different needs and desires, as well as the stigma and assumptions attached to polyamory.

This book is for you if you enjoy M/M and M/M/F erotica. There’s plenty to enjoy there! And it’s interesting to have a story that juxtaposes soulmate-esque themes with one-off hookups, allowing the characters to have multiple and complex romantic and sexual needs. It gets four stars from me, and I’m keen to read more from this author!

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

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

Breathless Love is the third book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. This can be read as a standalone and wholly enjoyed. This book focuses on Hank Bennett, who dreams of a life in country music. Ella Mae is on tour with her brother, Travis, a successful country singer. Will Hank realize his dreams, or will reality crush them?
I was excited to get to read another story about the Bennetts. Hank has been a fun character in previous books and has become the show’s star. I enjoyed Ella Mae and how she shared so much in common with Hank. I was rooting for them to find a happily ever after. This was a lovely story and gave a behind-the-scenes view of musicians on tour. I liked the show of how it is much work and not all fun and glamour. Like the other books in this series, we get reminded that family can have your back through the worst times and that life isn’t always picture-perfect.
I look forward to reading more from this author shortly.

Living with Conviction: A True Crime Memoir by Toby Dorr – Review by Ashley Mertz

Living With Conviction: Unexpected Sisterhood, Healing, and Redemption in the Wake of Life-Altering ChoicesLiving With Conviction: Unexpected Sisterhood, Healing, and Redemption in the Wake of Life-Altering Choices by Toby Dorr
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Living with Conviction by Toby Dorr is available now in eBook, Audiobook, and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

“Toby Dorr takes full responsibility for the actions that sent her to prison but refuses to let the worst decision of her life determine the rest of her life.” Living with Conviction is so much more than a story of a woman serving a sentence for helping a convicted murderer escape from prison. “She reveals that beneath the reality of her life altering decisions was the innate desire to be loved, have value, worth and significance.” Dorr’s story allows one to realize that redemption is always possible. Her story is emotional, heartbreaking, and honest. Dorr accepted her fate and made the best of it. Developing a sisterhood and standing her ground for what is right in prison. The transparency within will keep you pondering how one could deal with such a decision and its consequences with such positivity. This memoir stole my heart from the very beginning. I have personally worked in a jail and have my own feelings about staff/inmate relationships but reading about Dorr’s personal growth and self-rediscovery has really allowed me to open my mind and see this in a different perspective. Thank you Toby Dorr for sharing your story with the world. May you continue to find happiness in all that you do. I highly recommend Living with Conviction to all readers.

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Julie Johnson

The Wandering Isles (The Crown of Stones)The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a novella that comes after The Crown of Stones series and covers more of the story of Ian and Jarryd. This can be read as a standalone but having the background of the series before it will help certain situations make more sense.

Fantasy lovers will love how this story evolves. There is a bit of mystery in this one too! Anytime Ian and Jarryd are together, adventure is sure to abound. When they come across an island full of mysterious beings, reality starts to blur and neither are sure of what’s really going on.

I do get a little confused as this writer tells the story one perspective at a time. I have a hard time keeping up with who’s telling which side of the story and I have never been a fan of skipping back and forth. This was a little more difficult of a read for me for that reason. However, it was still enjoyable overall.

She thinks she found the perfect story until it leads her to a dark alley where she records a member of her beloved family murdering a young girl. Unwilling to believe that her own beloved family member could commit such a crime in cold blood she hides the recording, especially when she learns that victims of crimes must pay for the help received down to the cost of bullets used. Before she can figure out what to do, she is kidnapped.”

What happened to Mouse? Does she escape her kidnappers? Have to read the book to find out.
Great story, quick read, this is new author to me, would love to read more of her books. I give 4stars.

Bound by the Hinterlands by Bree M. Lewandowski – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Bound by the HinterlandsBound by the Hinterlands by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cressida’s father is not one for affection. In fact, he is downright abusive. As his health is failing, she begins to see a glimmer of freedom at the end of a very long and stressful tunnel that has been her life for twenty-five years. However, just as she thinks that she will be free of her life of burden, she has the rug pulled out from under her once again. She finds out that she has been betrothed to someone and it is not just anyone either, but the ruler of the neighboring county in the Hinterlands, Baron Caravahl Alzeid. The Hinterlands are known for their strange, creepy woods that surrounds the keep. Stories that are shared of it are ones that give children nightmares, and she is going to live there and help rule.

Once married and on their way, Cressida finds that while the rumors of the Hinterlands are partially true, she is pleasantly surprised to find the Baron is actually a man of honor who loves his county and people dearly. She discovers that she is happy to be his helpmate in preparing for unexpected guests and in all things to help with the county’s residents. As more background about the Hinterlands comes to light, there comes a point where a choice has to be made by the baron. Can he share all things that ruling the county comes with or will Cressida falter and flee in fear? Can they trust each other implicitly with each other’s hearts and break the curse of the land or will they be doomed in the demise of the land?

I enjoyed this read! It was quick and easy to get into and feel like a part of the story. There were sad parts of the story where I just wanted to give Cressida a great big hug and times where I wanted to cheer for her. She’s a spunky character that doesn’t let her upbringing dictate her future. She takes charge, as much as she can at times, and always works for the betterment of others. I feel like the author did a wonderful job of having them fall in love in the right time and not be over the top about it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Life as a teenager is tough enough . There’s nothing kind about war . Having to deal with both at the same time can’t be easy ……

Where most teens are thinking about fashion , hanging out at the local hotspots Nadija is having to concern herself with loosing the roof over gears , stray bullets , friends that became enemies
survival , having to steal to survive but despite her dire circumstance she still manages to make you laugh at times and being humour to a tragic and traumatic time 🥲 it shows me the power of hope because without hope we have nothing …

I value and appreciate vulnerability and transparency, you know where you stand and Nadija put herself , her experiences and emotions on the line and shared her story and fir that I want to say thank you ! It’s so sad when innocents suffer at the hands of politicians and or leaders and every war has always been for that reason 🥲

I’ve just taken a deep shaky breath and said thank you again for the freedom I so often take for granted 🙏

Prior to reading I didn’t realise this was the third book, and although I am going to go back to read the first books for background and to see a more complete picture, this is able to be read as a standalone for the mystery element.

This was a fun mystery with interesting characters and an intriguing plot. There are cats, drama and suspense all rolled together and a little humour on the side. Right up my street – I love a good cosy mystery and I really enjoyed this one.

I particularly enjoyed the descriptions given and the feelings the author created around the Devils Road Forest and the lovable characters

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and have become a fan of the series so will be keeping an eye out for more.

I enjoyed reading this story. This is an author that I enjoyed reading and look forward to seeing what is next for her. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. It is a story that has characters that pop off the pages and will take you on an emotional roller coaster. This is a story about accepting and living with who you truly are. Ben is a great character that has a secret and honestly just wants to be himself for once. He is my favorite of the story and I enjoyed what he brought to the story. This is a fast paced story where the characters pull you into their world and keep you coming back for more. They made it easy and entertaining to read. They also made it realistic and I had no problems connecting with them. Great chemistry and growth throughout the story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I loved this YA rom-com. Bailey and Tanner make the cutest couple. The story had me giggling so much that my family kept asking me what was funny. Marnie and her matchmaking was quite hilarious and profound. The characters are well-written for teens. Angsty, anxious with some ADHD tossed in and shake to make some cool teens. I loved the story because it’s relatable even to us old people. The story is refreshing. It’s written with humor and fun. A quick and entertaining read.

This author always delights me with her books set in different time periods and cultures. The Roaring 20’s were a time of change and mafia. Bethany wants some freedom from her aunt and uncle. In the heart of Chicago, she finds Al Capone and his gang. I loved reading and watching Bethany develop into the strong woman she could be. The characters were a delight. The author takes such details that, at times, it feels like you could be there with Bethany. I found the writing stunning and full of delicious detail. I devoured this book in one sitting.

What Do the Plants Say? Is another beautifully written, entertaining, imaginative, and fun read by this talented author. When Alex heard the flowers in her garden making noises as they bloomed, she wondered what they were saying. Alex is an Inventor who loves to create things using old, and often discarded items. She decides to invent a machine so that she can listen to the flowers and talk to the plants. Using sound waves, Alex learns that the flowers want to do things like have a party and fly. I love how the author used a mix of science, creativity, imagination, and whimsy in how Alex spoke to and interacted with the flowers in the garden. This was an interesting approach to the idea of talking to plants that will spark imagination in the minds of young children. The illustrations are bright, fun, and really bring this cute story to life.

This book was fun and very entertaining, although not one of the best we have read. This book felt a little more flat compared to the others we have read recently, but that could be just because they were so good. Either way, we still got great enjoyment out of this book. It was engaging and the kids loved to look at the pictures and see what was going on. As usual, we read this book multiple times and I am sure we will read it many times more.

Twisted Proposal is Book Three in the Central Florida Stories series. The general theme of each book is erotica romance with sizzling chemistry between the characters and each can easily read as a standalone. The storyline is intriguing, the scenes are vividly written, and the characters are unique and interesting. This story centers around the characters of Ethan and Siena, who are both trying to work through some personal problems. Ethan has some issues that he has been trying to work through since his last breakup. He has just started to experiment with his dominant side and is seeking revenge on his ex and her family who he blames for the breakup. When he reluctantly agrees to attend a high society gala, he spots Siena across the room. She happens to be his ex’s cousin and is the spitting image of his ex. This sets a plan of revenge into Ethan’s mind using Siena to do so. Ethan sees Siena as easy prey due to her dire situation and looks forward to her being his submissive. However, what he never anticipated is Siena being the perfect submissive to his dominant. Soon the chemistry and passion between them becomes explosive but Ethan is uncertain if he can trust Siena. Both Ethan and Siena must work through their baggage and decide if they have a future together. This book had angst, drama, passion, secrets, revenge, lies, lust, and intense chemistry as the author delves into the world of dominants and submissives. Another great book in this series by this talented author.

Undeniable is Book Two in the Central Florida Stories series. It is a captivating read with a riveting storyline, vividly written scenes, and characters that are lovable and easy to root for. Arley and Kurt both have demons that haunt them and secrets they are hiding. Arley has fled from a crime cartel and is trying to stay hidden. She has taken on a bartender job at a BDSM club that is owned by Kurt. Kurt suffers from PTSD from his time in Afghanistan which leaves him feeling broken and unworthy. He keeps a low profile and keeps to himself. Years ago, Arley and Kurt had a connection, but it went nowhere, and they went their separate ways. Neither have seen the other in years but when Arley and Kurt reunite after twelve years the feelings are rekindled and the chemistry between them is intense and explosive. The crime cartel is lurking in the shadows though, so this adds an element of danger, and it is up to Kurt to keep Arely safe. This book had danger, intrigue, drama, suspense, mystery, secrets, a few twists, and of course explosive passion between the characters.

Wow there is a LOT that happens with this book! Action packed right from the beginning, there’s not a whole lot I can say that won’t give away too much. The story focuses mainly on Ruarnon and their struggles as a teen when regency is suddenly thrust upon them, but also features detailed supporting characters. Very rich character development. I also liked seeing the similarities between Ruarnon and their opposition… seeing they had very similar struggles but how they handled things were vastly different and therefor the outcomes were as well.
There were definitely some twists and surprises that I didn’t expect, and that always makes for a good read! I just started the second one and am already hooked there as well!
