I liked this one. It’s set in ancient Egypt which I found interesting. It’s about 2 women who open a pharmacy. But they don’t expect their first customer to be a dying florist. Their daughter is quite good at being a Detective so they try to find the killer but it’s not as simple as that. A good story, I liked the way the surroundings and characters were described and the characters were relatable too.

Have you ever had a one night stand go sideways in the most colossal way? Well, this book may just have you beat. Kia had a typical one night stand, and ended up with a gift from it 9 months later. Fast forward to t-ball, and her son will finally meet his dad… aka: his coach. This book has all the right feel good moments, and endearing story line, and a real life ‘this could’ve happened to me’ situation. The story, the love, the courage is unremarkable and is definitely a feel good book that will leave you feeling like you read a victory!

Wonderful book! I love that this touches on anxiety, especially in children. There is nothing to be ashamed of in having anxiety, but learning of ways to help yourself fight through it and cope is amazing. I love the square breathing technique and think I will actually try it out myself whenever I start feeling anxious. It is nice to see that Lilly uses her newly learned techniques while outside of her house to handle her heebie jeebies, but can still hang onto Hun Bun as her lifeline at home. The artwork in this book is so cute, Lilly’s sad face made me want to cry too.
I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. This is part of a series, however it can be read as a standalone and the author does a great recap at the start of the book bringing the reader up to date with the characters that appear in this story. This is a male Triad story about fated mates. The men are strong and possessive and when they find their mates that increases. I love a story about fated mates where there is no choice but to acknowledge you are meant to be together.
Arwyn and Elan have been friends for years and made an agreement that there would never be anything more than friendship between them. However things start to change with their 3rd friend Pryderi finds his fated mate. Now it’s just the two of them they need to adjust to this new way of living along with the new feelings that are suddenly becoming harder and harder to fight and the pair find themselves struggling with this torture. When Keira comes back from an mission she brings another guy back with her. When it becomes clear that Hassan and Elan are fated mates it sends Arwyn into madness and a sense of grief as he feels he has lost his chance to be with the only man he’s ever wanted.
As the story progresses we see the bond between Hassan, Arwyn and Elan grow until they realise that they are all fated to be with each other and their triad is born. This is an emotional magical story about finding love and learning to follow your heart. This story is action packed and emotional as both Arwyn and Elan come to terms with their feelings for each other and for Hassan.
This is a magical read with Suspense, magic, kidnapping, angst, an emotional rollercaster and steam. The author does an amazing job of creating a unique world and a unique fated mate story. As a reader I was captivated by this story and I felt I knew the characters like friends. I shared all their laughter and tears and felt like I was willing them to find their happy ever after.

This book was a quick read for me. It was hard for me to stay connected with to it. I had a hard time connecting to the characters. I thought some of the plot topics were good. I would read more by this author.

Guarding the Crease (The Playmakers Series Hockey Romances Book 9) by G.K. Brady is a great sport romance.
Wyatt requires Serena’s clever PR skills, and he’s not above manipulating the payback. He’s even willing to overlook her prickly exterior in order to win her over. After all, she’s already acquainted with his brand of lunacy, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s attractive. Serena is determined to propel her career to new heights and become invaluable to the team—as soon as she overcomes a devious teammate. Helping Wyatt will simply divert her attention and energy away from her main purpose, but she can’t deny that more sizzles beneath his roguish smile. Serena slowly pulls back the layers to expose the true heart pulsing beneath the goalie gear.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique sports romance series. The story really brings excitement into your life. I couldn’t put the book down.

Taming Beckett (The Playmakers Series Hockey Romances Book 1) by G.K. Brady’s great romance series.
Beckett Miller’s hedonistic lifestyle has just been cooled. Following a high-profile fall from grace due to a drug scandal, the elderly pro hockey superstar is without a team, has been withdrawn from endorsements, and is absolutely bankrupt. Desperate to sell his house, the league’s bad boy is forced to work with a real estate agent with a dazzling smile and with whom he’d just made a tremendous fool of himself. Paige Anderson’s success in sales has not translated into relationships. Paige is going out all the stops to keep her marriage together as her husband grows more distant, and the last thing she wants is a scandal-plagued playboy athlete as a client. However, the hefty commission she’ll receive from the sale appears to be worthwhile.

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5757102153″>5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Wyatt Tompkins has had one too many bad days. His PR team has had their work cut out for them with all his antics, but Serena Lambert has become a pro over the years at spinning things in a better light. Wyatt’s only goal is to be a goalie in the big leagues, but he is currently swimming in the minors. Serena is the only one who can help him climb back to the top. Will she be willing to help him? Even though she has only ever seen him in a bad light he does seem to be a changed man. This was a good book. I think I have read one or two others in this series but I will definitely be reading the rest. The author put together a great cast of character who showed a lot of development. I can’t wait to dive into the other books in the series.

Brady – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba
I was so excited to get to read the latest story in this series. I love that they are all standalones, but if you can read them all and in order, it definitely is worth it! We find Master Campania working with the other Masters to deal with the rogues who are still causing trouble. He ends up meeting Willow, a witch just trying to live her life with some of her buddies and they end up having to work together. The chemistry between the two was electric and it was fantastic getting to see the reoccurring characters from other stories continue to be a part of the narrative, just enhances it. I loved how the characters interacted with one another and continued to build the relationships into the story. It was definitely full of action, adventure, and magic along with some very steamy scenes that you won’t be able to put down. I can’t wait for the final book and see the stunning conclusion!

This is book four in The Cross of Ciaran series. While I haven’t read the first three, this book does well as a stand alone read. Matthews draws you into the deadly mystery that is abundant archaeologicsl facts and rich with history. The world building makes it easy for the reader to envision the scenes portrayed in the story. Ireland is rich with history and language. Even though I didn’t know how to pronounce the Celtic names, it was nice to see the author stay true to that history.

Imminent threat is upon him as his dreams show that Ruadhán is going to take his twins away…..will Ciaran be able to keep his family safe or will he be to late…

This was a great 5 star read. I have really enjoyed this series and family from the first generation. I was pulled in right from the beginning with the author’s writing. I was done before I knew it. I really enjoyed the characters and their story, Jude got my heart pretty much from the start. My emotions were all over the place, I will warn that there could be some triggers for some as well. This genre is one of my favorites and it definitely does not disappoint. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. If you enjoy age gap romance with a dark side, 1-click and get started today. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

The author takes readers back in time to senior year of high school. Readers get to experience the highs and lows of teen romance. The heroine is protecting her heart. At the same time, she is dishing out advice to her peers anonymously through the school newspaper’s advice column. The author’s characters must decide whether to take risks by trusting others, or to simply play it safe (and boring) by guarding their hearts.

This final book is definitely the most action packed and best one of the series! With a final quest of Ciaran and Aodhan on the final ring as they already possess the first two and come to unexpected and deadly adventures in doing so. Unfortunately they are not the only ones with the same mission. In this treasure hunt for the final ring, it keeps readers guessing whether or not these brothers will find the final ring or will someone else find it first! I most definitely had a deeper appreciation for this final book after reading the previous books in the series. You’ve enjoyed the journey all the way! This is my second Andrea Matthews books series and I absolutely love her style of writing and adventures.

This isn’t my first book by this author and certainly won’t be the last! I found this book surprising me as it wasn’t what I had initially expected. The cover drew me in at first, and then the synopsis sold me, so I gave it a chance. I loved the way the author told the story because it felt like I was there right along with Neferet and Bener-ib. The only thing that gave me any issue at all with this book was that I had other things to do, but I could NOT put this down! I had to finish it as it was such an addictive mystery with so much adventure tied in. I loved the Egyptian background and the depth of the characters as it made the world real for me. I highly recommend taking a chance on this book so you can go on this marvelous mysterious adventure too!

This is another great book in this hockey series. I have not been a fan of Wyatt in the other playmaker series books, but the author did a great job changing my mind with this story line. You get to see Wyatt grow and change throughout the book as a love story evolves with Serena. Great read, it doesnt disappoint!

I have enjoyed MANY books by this author, and this one is no different. It’s the second installment of the Soulbound Journeys series, and I just can’t get enough! The author paints such vivid imagery in their stories that I am immediately captivated and transported to another realm. Get ready for a dramatic and fast-paced adventure through an exciting world! You will be twisting and turning your brain while you try to figure out what is going to happen next. To say that I cannot wait for the next book is an incredible understatement. I highly recommend picking up this series and the previous as they tie into this as well!

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)
I just finished and I don’t even know what to say or where to start.
I didn’t read the book before this so everyone was completely new to me, it would have been helpful but not 100% necessary.
Zeke and Slash are brothers in every sense of the word except blood. They are Lily’s rocks from beginning to end though it may not look like it. Like real brothers they are there through thick and thin. Zeke knows he can trust Slash to take care of Lilly any time necessary and that happens way more than it should have
Lily has been through so much starting with the trial at the beginning, putting her life together again after only for it to be destroyed once again.
I don’t think I have hated a character as much as I do Brutus, it’s a very strong and deep hate and I hope he gets what is coming to him
I am not a fan of cliffhangers normally, but I was so relieved to read the words To Be Continued at the end of this book. I will be reading it as soon as possible.

In book 3 of the series, Ciaran has many things to look forward to on his new life path he has been brought to. Ciaran and Caitlin are expecting twins and while that should bring such happy thoughts going into this new phase of life, Ciaran’s dreams of his past seems to be haunting him. Not completely certain whether these dreams are emerging from his anxieties of becoming a new parent or a warning of what’s to come, his brother Aodhan brings more insight to their past to help bring better understanding. This story is action packed and twists and turns.

I have enjoyed other books in this series so it should come as no surprise that this one raises the bar a little bit more. I thought that creating an image for Wyatt that was anything close to loveable was going to be a challenge. Somehow the author not only carved him into a redeemable man but had me rooting for him! I love Serena’s character as she is strong but gracious. The chemistry flies off the pages eventually, but will it be enough? I recommend picking up any book in this series, but this one is absolutely a very enjoyable read!

I have read my fair share of sports romance books, but this one takes the cake! I happened to see the cover and grabbed a copy but wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this author as they are new to me. I’m so glad I took the chance because I was absolutely addicted to the story. Beckett starts off not so loveable and makes you wonder why he’s making these choices. Paige is oh-so-relatable, and I found myself invested in both of them rather quickly. The flow of the story is incredible, and it had me racing to the end of each page to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend this book even if you aren’t a huge fan of sports romances because I think this one will catch you pleasantly off guard.

I have read other books by this author and loved them, so I picked this up without hesitation. I ended up reading this as a standalone, and while I didn’t feel lost necessarily, I do think that I would have had a greater appreciation with more background. To remedy that situation, I am picking up all the previous books in this series now! This was the fourth book, and it is marvelously written. I happen to love the paranormal genre and with this read, the author also includes plenty of romantic suspense as well. I highly recommend picking this up if you are in for a paranormal adventure with suspense and romance in the mix!

Absolutely loved the first book in this series and had to continue reading! So this one takes place a year after the last one. After returning to his childhood home in Ireland, things are quite different from what he remembers. As the story progresses, many unanswered questions are explored and answered. The chemistry between Caitlin and Ciaran grows as the story continues and just adore them. Quite a bit of information being shared on Irish history so another reason to enjoy if you’re already a fan!

Ancient Egypt. Hook line and sinker. This is the first book I have read by N.L. Holmes and my oh my, I look forward to the next one. The cover pulled me in, I have been obsessed with ancient Egypt since I was about eight years old so coming across this historical mystery was a dream come true. Two of my favorite things Egypt and mystery, yes please. Immediately I loved the map of ancient Egypt, the character list and the glossary at the beginning as a refresher and to prepare me for what was to come. Neferet and Bener-ib are sunets (doctors), while only twenty-four their credentials are great, having trained under the physician of the Royal Ornaments, and were royal physicians themselves before Neferet’s dream was given a chance. She had always wanted to offer all proper medical care. Unfortunately, they have a local rival sunu, Djed-har. Quickly after officially meeting him Neferet can piece together that he is a fraud that feels women should not be physicians and that their credentials are only in their dreams. Not being one to back down the women are determined to gain the favor of the people to come to them in times of need. Finally, a patient, while initially happy they have a patient, things turn somber and mysterious too fast. The man dies, his last words “Sekhat. Rabbit.”, confused the women are determined to find out who murdered the Bearer of the Devine Offerings. A man that made such beautiful things targeted and murdered, for a reason. But why? Two mysteries. How to sway the people to trust them? Who killed an innocent man who made beautiful bouquets for Amen? The chills that crawled my spine at the level of details the author includes made me so excited to keep going. Not only is the mystery well thought out, but the lives of the characters are beyond relatable even if there is a stark time difference. They are everyday people in their time trying to do their best, make a living and set keep the world balanced. I must go back and read the original Hani mysteries while waiting for book two of the Hani’s Daughters Mysteries. I cannot get enough of this author’s blend of historical ancient Egypt and mystery.

Holmes – Review by Ayla Phipps
This book is a mix of adventure, celtic and pagan traditions, and paranormal tidbits. Just from reading the introduction I knew I had to give this book a try. Caitlin, the archaeologist, reminds me a bit of the Indiana Jones adventures. She uncovers the body of a pagan priest, which surprisingly appears to be in mint condition where detailed tattoos are still visible. All of her findings have left her perplexed where she ends up traveling with the priest to NY to further investigate her findings. Unbeknownst to her, the body disappears and now as the Priest, Ciaran comes to realize he is not in the world he once knew. After his betrayal, he was buried alive and now comes to terms with this new, mysterious world and with the mysterious Caitlin. Such a great read and highly recommended for those who are into these types of books!

Ten Little Starfish is a cute book. It would be perfect for preschoolers who are learning colors and how to count. The illustrations are so colorful and fun, each starfish a unique shape and color. The rhyming was subtle, but helped the story flow. We liked the facts about starfish the author included. My 7 year old knew some and others were new. I love the sunset page at the end.

Reading this book and getting to know Pyper reminded me of my own thought process when I was in high school. The irony of it made me laugh so much. Pyper has a go-getter attitude when it comes to taking action but her activism efforts towards canceling prom has been declined. She also has a great relationship with her mother in which she shares everything going on in her life with her. It’s really nice to see a positive and healthy mother and teenage daughter relationship. Her mother appears to be Pyper’s voice of reason when it comes to her thought process and decisions with her current life standings. As the story proceeds, Pyper discovers that we may not know the right and wrong of everything going on in our lives and starts coming to terms with that aspect. Great concept for many teens to learn that it’s okay not knowing everything.

I enjoyed Sage Advice. It’s a great read for young adults. I liked the family dynamic. I also thought Pyper was very mature but still teensy. Lots of lessons were taught in this story. I would recommend this for pre-teens and up!

Leaving No Traces was a pretty complex crime story. There was a lot going on and it took a while for the detectives to uncover everything. This was a good thing for the readers, because the mystery and “who dun it” kept us engaged. There were a lot of characters but they were fairly easy to keep straight, as everyone was referred to by their last name. The book is part of a series (book 5 in fact), but it did not feel lacking by not reading previous books. I like that we got to see a little into Scala’s personal life, to round out his character. Esposito is hilarious and I think would be a good main characters as well. I will be looking into the rest of the series.
