Austen is about to become the general manager of her peepaw’s dream team. Dimitri dreams of following in his father’s footsteps and play for the Assassin’s. His dreams are about to come true now that he’s stepped foor back in Nashville. An accidental over booking of the apartment leased by the team has them meeting in the kitchen in the middle of the night. It must be fate right? I really enjoyed Dimitri and Austen’s story. I know thus doesn’t necessarily tie into the other books, but I will definitely be checking out other books in this series. This was a quick and fun read and the author did a great job making the characters come to life. I’m looking forward to reading more.

Back to the 80s by S.E. Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan – Review by Angela Hayes

Back to the 80'sBack to the 80’s by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

This was such a fun story, with quite a nostalgic element for me. I was a teenager in the 80’s and some of my best memories are associated with those years- so this book triggered me, but in a great way.
Back to the 80’s by S.E. Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan is a fun romantic comedy- a bit of an enemies-to-lovers romance with opposites attract, humour, a touch of drama, a taste of the 80’s, and some sweet cheesiness that gave this book added ‘personality’.
Blaine Reynold’s inherited shop comes under threat from property developer Eric Morales whose planned brewery is set to demolish her dreams. What happens makes for an entertaining read.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, S.E. Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan!

Granting Katelyn (Sweet Valley Series Book #2) by S.E. Reichert – Review by Angela Hayes

Granting KatelynGranting Katelyn by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Granting Katelyn is the second book in the Sweet Valley Series by S.E. Reichert. It is a wonderful small town western romance with plenty of emotion, angst, a damaged MC, an injured horse, painful past, secrets, mystery, chemistry, challenges, family, friendship, taking a chance on love/finding love unexpectedly, breaking barriers, the healing power of love, and hope. The story highlights some sensitive topics too, which could be triggers for some readers- so be aware.
This is Katelyn and Grant’s story. Katelyn is Elle’s younger sister (Elle was our mc in “Raising Elle’- Book #1). Katelyn is called in to help an injured horse, whose owner sparks more than her curiosity. We get front row seats as we watch the healing power of love at work. But that’s not to say there aren’t a few bumps along the way.
Another great addition to the series. Now I’m happily anticipating Book #3.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, S.E. Reichert!

Refrain (Off the Record Book 3)Refrain by Madelynne Ellis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Refrain is Book #3 in the Off the Record series by Madelynne Ellis. I didn’t realise when I grabbed a copy of this book that it was the third instalment of an on-going series following the same characters- so it isn’t really meant to be read as a standalone. I really am kicking myself for not realising sooner and made sure I read the previous books before starting this one- as I think if I had it would have made this an even better read (for me). So, having said that, I will definitely be going back to read the previous books before embarking on the upcoming fourth instalment.
This is an angsty and emotional Rockstar romance with tension, drama, chemistry, challenges, friendship, family, dealing with inner demons, heartache, and sizzle.
The series contains:
-Off the Record: A Prelude (Series Prequel)
-Reflex (Book #1)
-Replay (Book #2)
-Refrain (Book #3)
-Revive (Book #4) -> releasing soon
Happy Reading…..

Thank you, Madelynne Ellis!

Leaving No Traces (Commissario Scala #5)Leaving No Traces by P. J. Mann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

When he arrived at the car, he regretted not having had coffee. Lunch had been plentiful, and something to help him with digestion would have been appropriate. “Well, if this turns out to be a murder, soon I won’t even remember what a full belly feels like,” he said, looking at his belly. “Prepare yourself, my friend. This could be the beginning of another fasting period.”

Something I have in common with Scala- a love of coffee, food, and a great mystery.
Leaving No Traces is the fifth intriguing instalment in the Commissario Scala Mystery series by P.J. Mann. I am really enjoying following Scala along on each of his investigations, and this one didn’t disappoint.
It’s another engrossing and well-woven crime & investigation mystery, a bit of a whodunnit that starts with a murder that leads Detective Scala into a complex case that has him pitted against a cold-hearted villain. This cat and mouse game results in a story that has plenty of tension, secrets, lies, corruption, danger, high-stakes, action, police procedures, dramatic developments, and where Scala (and us) are thrust into a race against time to solve the case before it’s too late. Again, Ms. Mann doesn’t disappoint, delivering a suspenseful story.
Looking forward to more Commissario Scala mysteries.
Happy reading…

Thank you, P.J. Mann!

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I enjoy her writing style and attention to details that bring her stories to life before your eyes. I enjoyed the suspense and the twist and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is a story about a murderer that only leaves a car and blood behind to figure out this mystery. Detective Scala has a determination like no other to figure this case out. I enjoyed the characters in this story and what they added to the entertainment value of the story. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A story that suspense will keep you coming back for more. I highly recommend this book and to check out the other books in this series

This is a great collection of stories of knights in shining armor which can come in many different types. There are many creative author’s in this set. Some are new to me and some are my favorites. They are well written and keep you wanting more. They are stories about everyday knights and shining armors that make an impact in lives. One of my favorite stories is by Naomi Valkyrie, Unexpected Heroes. Elijah and Jude are great characters that are strong, supportive, connectable characters. It is a story that is full of emotions and will take you on a rollercoaster for sure. This is a collection you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this anthology

Reticent Hawke: A Billionaire Reverse Age Gap Best Friend's Older Sister Forbidden Romance (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 2)Reticent Hawke: A Billionaire Reverse Age Gap Best Friend’s Older Sister Forbidden Romance by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series and I love these characters. I have a strong feeling Reticent Hawke is going to be my favorite book in this set. Which is hard to say when this book tears at the heartstrings. What both Jude and Angelina have been through in life is insane. Part of it comes with the Hawke family, the other is outside their control.
Jude’s story was not what I was expecting. It put me through the ringer emotionally. So keep that in mind. It’s all over the place and could potentially be a trigger for someone. Despite all that, the author wrote his story beautifully. She also weaved Angelina into that web perfectly.
If you’re looking for sunshine and roses, this is not that type of romance. It’s dark but beautiful.
This is the second book in this series, however it can be read as a standalone or in succession. I’ll say this though, if this is your introduction to this author, once you’re done you will be hooked. Not only reading book 1 in this generation series, but reading the books in the previous generation series.
Me? I love this world and just hope it’s going to continue.

Heavy Shot (Nashville Assassins: Next Generation #7)Heavy Shot by Toni Aleo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I only wish I’d read the other six books prior to this story of Dimitri and Austen!

Austin’s discovering her strength and abilities after coming out of a horrific season in life. She survived and is now in a season that lends to her flourishing and getting a happily ever after.

Dimitri is returning to the NHL after playing hockey in Russia. There are some hard feelings on the GM’s behalf thus causing some tension but not as steamy as the tension between him and Austen.

Throughout this journey, the two learn about themselves, one another…they fight feelings and they fight for one another. They fight for their happily ever after despite that plot twist.

Now, to add the others to my TBR and get started reading more of this Assassin’s hockey world.

How to Catch Little Boys and Eat ThemHow to Catch Little Boys and Eat Them by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

How to Catch Little Boys and Eat Them is a take on Jack and the Beanstalk. My son has not heard that story, so he didn’t make the connection, but I did. I thought it was really creative and had things changed for this generation. The ending didn’t make sense to my 7 year old, and I had to explain it to him. Then, once he got it, he thought it was funny. He was very confused about a goose that lays golden eggs, until I explained to him that’s just how the story has always gone. I thought Jack was very cleaver to trick the giant. Because we read other books by this author/illustrator combo, my son noticed the similarities and thought Jack looks a lot like Caspian. So, while this book was not familiar to my 7 year old, I caught on, and we both loved it. (Side note, I don’t like the title. How to Catch Little Boys had my thoughts going a TOTALLY different direction)

Vampires of AtlantisVampires of Atlantis by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Above the waterline. While this is the second book I have read by the incredible Courtney Davis, this book is a completely different universe as the other. Told from Ian and Katherine’s perspectives it isn’t a designated chapter but chapter thing, but it is easy to tell when the switch happens.
Ian is a vampire, once treated as royalty by humans and blood offerings made to them for their protection they are now long forgotten by the modern world. Katherine has worked at the local museum in Miami for the past decade, her heart and soul consumed so much that her ex claimed she loved her job more than him. A thousand years have passed since Ian was above the waterline on land, for the past five hundred years he has been the leader of his people guarding the prisons of Atlantis in the Bermuda Triangle. Norgis has escaped, something that has never happened in the 900 thousand years since Atlantis was sunk. Being the first time, it has ever happened he feels it is his job to hunt and return it to its cell. Only in the blink of an eye his mission changes he no longer seeks for the monster but for the woman who makes his blood run hot and calls to his soul. Katherine can feel his stare when she is near but struggles to see into the shadows to find him.
Did Norgis escape or was he released? Can Ian win the heart of Katherine? Will they get a chance to be happy or will Norgis succeed in his plan? The world while based in our time is otherworldly, the mystery of history playing out in the shadows and the depths of the ocean. The characters are relatable and when an epic level romance is thrown in all you can do is hold on tight as you sink into the ocean to reveal the secrets long forgotten. I so hope that a second book to the Atlantis series comes soon I cannot wait to see what mysteries await next.

Meet Rebeca, a Jewishlatin woman full of intelligence and dreams. Oh but her only but great defect is to not have confidence in herself. Not at work and less with her partners. Her romantic affairs had had a negative in her steem and looking back at each experience makes  her realize that  maybe she needs help getting her head in place.  

 

Just when she begins her journey to self discovery a cute and easy going guy gets in the picture. Kyle moved across the hall in order to be with his aunt, she is older and the company helps her. Both try to understand each other and the needs that come from the development of a relationship, oh but sometimes trouble will make this harder.

 

This story is full of self awareness and is a way to understand the place most of us live a daily battle, our heads, what they may need and how to address their issues.

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

I would have to say Liz’s Road Trip was one of the best books I have read this year. Liz stole my heart in this novel. Being raised by my grandma, I could relate to her in so many ways. I couldn’t imagine how she felt learning all the secrets her gram’s held onto all of those years. The characters in this novel were lovable, relatable, and down to earth. And Cosmo, well who wouldn’t have a soft spot for Cosmo. Bernadette Marie whisked me away on this one from the very beginning. I was able to read it in two days, picking it up to read every opportunity I had. This novel was moderately paced and kept me wanting more the entire time. The descriptive scenes had me feeling as if I was on this road trip of a journey right alongside Liz. This was my first time reading a novel written by Bernadette Marie and I will not hesitate in the future to pick up another. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick pick me up type of read, you won’t regret the decision to do so.

This is my first book that I have read from this author and I totally loved it. This is book 2 in the series and it could be read as a standalone…and I am definitely wanting to circle back on the beginning of the series, but I did not feel like I missed anything by reading this book first.

Detective Maurizio Scala is on a manhunt, trying to figure out whom murdered a young man and leaving his body in a cemetery. This mystery man is also leaving notes behind…poetic in sorts… possibly more bodies may be piling up…..revenge. Will Detective Scala be able to stop this murderer with a poetic mind before it is to late and more murders are ensued?

This book is a great crime, drama, suspense, corruption, secrets, lies and full of twisty turns as I tried to piece together the who’s who in connecting all the dots to the end. Very highly recommended and looking forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Broken.: A Green St. Girls Romance

Wow, what a story! I loved these ladies from the moment I was introduced and I may have fallen a bit more in love with them in this book.

Indigo like the other ladies has done very well for herself in so many ways, but had a hard time letting go of the past which is understandable. She made a promise to Charlie and still hasn’t made good on it, until Gideon comes into her life.

Not sure why but I instantly pictured Henry Cavill as soon as Gideon was described. Not the Witcher, totally got Superman Henry vibes for some reason and I was more than okay with that.

Gideon and Indigo got through a lot in a very short amount of time and a lot of it wasn’t great which sucked but they had such an amazing chemistry that I couldn’t help but read as fast as I could to find out what was going to happen between the two of them.

Now there is 1 remaining Green St. Girls left standing. I think she is going to fall hard when her time come and I can’t wait.

Great book, can be read as a standalone but I would recommend starting with Athena’s story. You won’t be disappointed.

This was such a fun book, not something you would necessarily expect from the title, but I greatly enjoyed it. I thought the author did a great job of creating multi-dimensional characters and the very deliberate way she brought them all together was fantastic. Clearly Barney the dog was hands down my favorite character, but I loved the friendship that blossomed between the characters. She did a great job of building the suspense about the murder and how it happened. I loved the interludes that had the HOA notes and correspondence as it really helped paint a picture of the HOA and the member in it. It was a very amusing book with a lot of heart in it. I absolutely recommend people give it a whirl!

I absolutely love how other people have different point of views on different stories and these never seem to get me to think. This book was very entertaining, it was funny, cute, skimming, learning, and the pictures are just great and really flow and show the story in a different way which brought the story almost to life.

From the first night that Jude was introduced to the family Allie and Angie have been by his side even when Jude pushed the rest of the world away. But Jude never intended to fall in love with her especially since she is a Hawke by blood!

Ellis has such mannerisms in making her readers empathize with her characters and their experiences. This is actually my first book that I’ve read from this series and even though I’m sure reading the previous books may have helped bring a full circle insight of the characters, this book does a great job of detailing some of the past experiences. Very intense at times and focused on mental health as Spook deals with his past “demons” and sinks into a deep depression while hiding out. Xane, a determined band mate and willing to help Spook through his endeavors and he also has Alle, his girlfriend, who has the fiercest heart and devotion towards him. Moments of steamy spice as well if you’re into that.

This book happens to be the first book I read by this author. The story sucked me in from the start. It can be hard when you’re reading a book in a series but I had no problems figuring out the characters. I especially love Austen’s character! What a strong woman to have not only saved herself but also her 4 sisters! I really enjoyed Dimitri’s personality and work ethic. Even though he came in knowing he had to prove himself to get on the Nashville Assassins team, he made sure to be on the ice early and stayed late. Between Austen and Dimitri and how they become friends and moving along to be more then friends with love, some frustration, and openness, really spoke to me.
I hope I can read more books in this series and others by this author in the near future.

Planting Hope

All I thought about last night and this morning was those kids. They have dealt with unimaginable pain and suffering, yet the garden they were working on with Kit, Mona and Holly became so much more for each of them and their healing.

Holly and Kit weren’t trauma free either and I think that helped them connect with the children and also heal and recover too.

I’m not sure why but Bella in the mud puddle really tickled me, thought about that a few times throughout the book especially during the more difficult moments.

There is love involved, but I feel the book is more about healing any way possible and helping other heal along the way.

Ms. Raines is a new to me author and I absolutely loved this book. I will be reading more by her in the future.

If you haven’t picked it up yet, do yourself a favor and start today. In this book we are back with the Hawke Family and the author navigates through different traumas. I loved the emotional rollercoaster twisting and turning through the story. I’ve never met a character in this series that I couldn’t connect with in some way, so I am always so attached to the journey of each character. I really loved Jude and Angelina. The chemistry is always different with couples, but somehow this author makes them relatable no matter what. The flow of the story was just beautiful and never pulled me out of the zone even once. I’ll say it over and over, please pick up this series and get lost in the gorgeous Hawke Family!
