Faking the Fall (Buckeye Falls #4)Faking the Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Faking the Fall by Libby Kay is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

I have yet to read a Libby Kay novel that I have not just adored. Faking the Fall is the fourth installment of the Buckeye Falls series. In this novel Kay introduces us to Alice and James with the “fake dating” trope. Returning to the small town of Ohio we escape reality and travel this fake journey with the two of them. However it doesn’t seem fake for long. The story line is sweet and innocent, allowing you to fall in love with both characters. I was rooting for the two of them to fall in love and find their happiness-ever-after the entire time. I’m not one to rush to pick up a fake relationship novel but this one was so much more than that. You won’t want to put this one down. I highly recommend this novel to all readers who enjoy small town romance novels with a twist.

No Amends
By: Angela Lam

This was a fantastic, yet haunting book about a car accident that definitely left many people wondering what happened. Tang is a writer, who is suffering from writer’s block, who is also seemingly keeping secrets from those around him. Most specifically, his girlfriend Layla. As the book progresses the more one is left wondering how Tang is connected to Dee and if those connections are involved in the secrets Tang is keeping from Layla.
This book really is a romantic suspense. It is fast paced and I definitely did not want to put it down. I was left engaged from the beginning of the story and was left wanting more as each and every page passed. I also loved how the further you read the more question you (well at least I did) about what actually happened in that car accident. The author knows how to craft a fantastic plot that is filled with twists and turns. I definitely recommend this one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fun and entertaining Christmas novella that was a quick read but thoroughly enjoyable. Every Christmas book I have ever read is all about winter, and snow and dark nights. I loved the fact that this one was set in Australia and the feel of it was so different. And yet, despite the beach and the sun the author really brought out the festive spirit.
I loved the characters in this book. They had a natural connection and it was lovely to watch it develop. I thought they were so well suited and I became invested in them. Although the book is quick to read, it didn’t feel like anything was missing or rushed. This is an enjoyable festive story that is worth the read.

We seem to have been really luck recently with the children’s books we have read recently and this is another one to add to that list. This book was fun, engaging and entertaining, capturing the attention of both of my children. It was also really educational and a great way to teach them about interaction with dogs.
The pictures are what really pulled them into this book. They almost became the gateway for us being able to talk about the topic of the book and to keep them interested until the end. This was a really enjoyable story and I am sure we are going to read this many more times.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading and look forward to seeing what is next for them. This is an emotional story that could cause triggers for some. If you can get past those, you will find a great story. This is a well written story about trauma and survival. This is a story that took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that just kept going. The characters pull you into their world and I had no problems picturing myself with them. They will pull at your heart strings for sure. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. You don’t want to miss this one. I enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

CJ and Lora are the owners of Porter and Midge. Porter and Midge are loveable dogs and CJ and Lora want to share the proper way of handling dogs for everyone to share their joy. This is a great book for kids about the do’s and don’ts of approaching, playing, walking dogs and more. As a dog owner with a young grandchild this is informative and gives well descripted lessons in order to take care of the dog but also the safety of the child.

This is the fourth book in this series which I enjoyed reading. This is a series that can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books in the series. This will help your enjoyment of this author’s writing skills. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is full of romance and hard to put down. A small town romance where two neighbors never expected to find love in each other. Becky and Glen are great characters with steamy chemistry and have great growth throughout. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A story full of romance and one you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love myself a Libby Kay and this was no exception ! I loved the cover and the dedication left me with goosebumps and a tear in eye and I know I can be honest because there’s no judgment amongst fellows bookies 🥰📚

One of the things I appreciate and enjoy most about this series is the mention of old friends , they’re linked into each story and nobody is forgotten about 🥰 also I want a rainbow cardigan 🤣😉🌈

James , an artist from New York just needs to get away and he heads to Buckeye Falls and that’s where Max and Ginny welcome him amongst them .

He invests into the town it’s people and it’s council meetings and he also makes friends along the way and it’s at a meeting where he meets Alice as her brother is the mayor 😉
I love that she’s a librarian assistant, administrator to a degree helping her sister in law and friend and she’s highly intelligent and has more than one degree but nothing is beneath her while she finds herself and I do feel sorry for her because it’s as if the town and her family see her as the black sheep , she really is misunderstood but James sees that something in her and it lights his spark again both artistically and as a man ❣️

Max and Ginny also have some special need and that got me all googly eyed and I’m overjoyed for them at what is to come ….

I loved being back in Buckeye Falls amongst friends and family 🥰

Get ready for this story! Ok let me be clear. In this story Sue Clearly is following a different career. She went from working to having children and not working. Well yes she became a stay at home mom to raise her children, which we all know is an important job. As her last two are beginning their last years in high school, she wonders what will happen to her empty nest. Family is so very important, and that is who she has backing her up. There is a company wanting to destroy her little town of Durango and the forest around it. This can not happen! Not in her mind, therefore she starts a plan in motion. It was interesting how this strong woman went about to get things done. The fight is on and she has more support than she thought she had. That is all I am going to say! No Spoilers. I loved this story. How the family grew so strong, how the husband supported his wife and most importantly how she went about to make a difference. Just reading this story tells you how much the author invested in getting things right. The characters are perfect for their parts. Strong independent characters make things happen and even some emotions are pulled out. Great Story,  Fast paced and interesting as well. Well Done!

The suspense in this story is absolutely high. You’ll love it and you’ll hate it but you’ll love it again. The ending is the best and was totally unexpected. This is my first book by Becky Flade and I was very upset with myself for not having found her sooner. Hannah and Doyle will be your favorite story to date.

This is a wonderful learning book. The authors do a great job incorporating learning important dog rules with rhyming. There is also good illustrations showing how to act and how not to act. I like how the information is broken into sections to move the book along.

Overall this story would be great for kids and some adults who have never owned a family dog. I would call it a must read before getting one.

What a delightful read! I really enjoyed every second this one! I did not know anything about this series and the author does a good job explaining it in here. It intrigued me to want to see more about Riley’s brothers because they have a wonderful camaraderie. The action suspense and drama held me to the story but the fantasy aspect kept me there. I was husy trying to figure out what these characters are or did and why. I really thought the talisman was an item not a person so…interesting. I eagerly look forward to more in this series.

What do you do when you lose your job two weeks before Christmas, your about to lose your apartment because your roommate is moving in with her boyfriend, your best friend’s boyfriend cheats and leaves her with a non-refundable ticket, and you don’t want to deal with your family over the holidays because of it all? Well you grab that ticket from her to help her out, and you have a Christmas getaway!!!! Well, that is what Lizzie does anyway. Christmas away in Australia is just what the doctor ordered. She can go, get away, and forget all about Christmas. And avoid her family and their judgement and questions! Right? Well maybe not… She’s checking out the beach and soaking up the sun when she’s hit in the head with a football. And just like that the whole vacation is turned upside down. Getting a black eye at the beginning of her trip was not what she had in mind! Plans shift and she ends up thinking a holiday romance might be in her cards. But can she really have a holiday fling? Loads of people do it. But can she? Jaz is a single father and has loads of baggage. Although he seems sweet and wants to get to know Lizzie, she’s worried things won’t work out the way she had planned. Invited to his Christmas get together is the last thing she expected. What will happen with her non-Christmas vacation? And what about when she goes back to her life with no job and no place to stay? Moving back with you parents is humiliating! Lizzie has her own baggage to unpack. Maybe a fling isn’t a good idea after all…. I haven’t read many Christmas themed books, but I am so glad that I grabbed this one! It was so, so good!! I LOVE watching Christmas movies and this one I could TOTALLY see on the big screen!! You can laugh, you can cry, and you can yell at the characters when they’re being stupid! If you love holiday romances, witty banter, and just an overall cute Christmas story this one is for you!! I didn’t want to put it down and now I can’t wait to read more!!

This is a book that hit home in more ways than one. It was hard to read at times. I just set it down for a bit and then kept going. i am glad that I did. It is truly a book that needed to be written. There are topics in the book that are worthy of major trigger warnings. Tina went through a lot and went through an incredible journey that is not easy for any survivor. It is an incredibly well-written story that I couldn’t put down and only did when my emotions told me too. The characters were well developed. Thank you for sharing that story!

From Holiday Hater to Believer: The Christmas Escape”The Christmas Escape” by Belinda WIlliams is a captivating holiday romance that beautifully captures the transformation of a character who initially despises Christmas. The story begins with the protagonist’s decision to escape her holiday blues in London and embark on an unexpected journey to Australia, where the festive spirit takes on a unique twist.

The book masterfully portrays the protagonist’s change of heart, making it a delightful and heartwarming read. It’s a tale of personal growth, self-discovery, and the magic of the holiday season, even for those who initially dislike it. The chemistry between the characters, particularly the charming Jaz, adds a layer of depth and romance that makes this story all the more enjoyable. “The Christmas Escape” is a five-star must-read for anyone looking for a heartwarming and transformative holiday romance that reminds us of the magic that can happen when we open ourselves up to the unexpected.

Becky and Glenn’s story is one that will have you feeling every emotion you can feel. It deals with loss, addiction, recover, heartbreak, family feud and maybe a few I missed. They both have some issues to overcome. Glen’s is a little larger. Watching them try to overcome was hard at times and at other times brought happy tears. All the Bennetts made an appearance in the book. They made the relationship a bit of challenge for them. This a beautiful story of redemption. Two souls broughr together through fire and hurt. Can they make this work for all time. You must read this story. You must read this series! It’s beautiful. It’s well-written. You won’t be sorry. Now, I’ll eagerly await Jame’s story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is really well written. It is the 8th book in the series and I decided this was the one I was going to start with. You can just start like I did or you can read the whole series. I would highly suggest reading the whole series. I am personally going to go back and read them. I feel like I wouldn’t have been as lost as I was and would have a lot more background information with the characters in this story. However, I was able to pick up on things rather quickly and my lack of knowledge didn’t hinder this books plot at all. The way the main characters grow throughout the story and the steam that they give off is amazing. It is a quick read as I couldn’t put it down. This book has everything from steam, too romance, too crazy vampires. I was highly entertained and found myself a little disappointed when the book ended. I then remembered that I get to read the other 7 books in the series. That made me happy. If you are one that like vampires and steam and mystery, this series seems to have all of that and more. You won’t be disappointed when you pick this book up to read it. Again, I would probably read the first books in the series because I feel like I would have enjoyed the book more had I had more information but it didn’t deter from the story.

Hannah Patel is living life in the shadows after he brother died, he was he rock and soul mate and now with him gone she is existing, until she discovers she has a stalker. At first it was notes and gifts but over the past few month’s it has become threatening and scary after the last note.

While in court defending her client she is assaulted by said client and is whisked into the judges chamber where she meets Lexi Danvers, a court investigator who happens to spot one of the stalkers letters. Lexi then says she will ask one of her colleagues to investigate of the books and help Hannah get to the bottom of who the stalker might be.

Detective Doyle Murphy has been asked for a favour while he is on leave from the special victim’s unit, but when he meets Hannah he is drawn in and is determined to protect her and find the culprit who is now steadily escalating there actions towards her, but when her dog walker if found dead in her house it becomes serious and needs putting a stop to.

This like the other books is a fast paced brilliantly written thriller, with well developed characters and a great storyline. There are some crossover with characters from previous books but that is more to do with friendships and relationships than the story itself, so this can be read as a stand alone book. Although I would highly recommend reading the other stories.

The character of Hannah like all of the authors main female characters is a strong, determined woman who want s to fight and survive rather than shy away and become a weak, shaking female like many stories portray and although Doyle’s character is a dominate Alpha male the author shows his more venerable side with his metal health and inner demons.

This story like the other is thrilling and draws you into the fast paced writing, and had me guessing for most of the book regarding the bad person. I hope you carry on with this series and can’t wait to read more in the future.

Lottery of Secrets: A Psychological Thriller with a Shocking TwistLottery of Secrets: A Psychological Thriller with a Shocking Twist by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Lottery of Secrets is fast paced dark tale full of deceit, betrayal, violence, drama, dark lies and secrets and so much more. It is as intriguing as it is intense, and the tension and suspense is palpable and have you questioning everything.
Nadija has done a good job of bringing together carefully woven threads that makes this a heart pounding psychological thriller. She cleverly guides the reader through a barrage of twists and turns that keep you on the edge right to the end as you try to work out what is going on.
Lynn is supposed to be living the dream but instead she is struggling and living a nightmare and no longer knows who to trust. She finds herself ensnared in a game of cat and mouse. She no longer knows what is real and what is not. Her a’hole of a Husband thinks he’s going to get her money. A stalker is obsessed with her, and she is fighting for her life in more than one way.
I wasn’t sure about the characters in the beginning. I wanted to shake some sense into the woman, and I wanted to snot the Husband, but I guess that is a sign of good writing to bring out so much emotion in the reader and the intrigue was enough to keep me glued to the pages. OMG by the time I got to the end; well, what can I say!
Fear, jealousy, paranoia, angst, anguish are just some of the things the author throws our way whilst following Lynn on her dark and twist path. There are some sensitive topics in this story, but it comes together nicely.
I am now eagerly awaiting the next book. Bring it on!

This is a fantastic children’s book explaining the importance of dog safety and it does it in such a way that children will be able to easily understand it. We follow Lora and CJ and their doggie companions, Porter and Midge throughout the story as we learn about dog safety through various scenarios. The story is well done and the illustrations that accompany it follow along with the story fantastically. I love the sing-songy rhymes of the story because children are able to follow along so much better. This is definitely a story you will want to read your littles if they are going to be around any type of animal, but especially dogs.

The Christmas Escape by Belinda Williams is a contemporary romance story. Belinda has written a story that is fun and interesting. It is a quick read and before you know it the story is over.
I have read a few of Belinda’s books and really liked them and this one is no different. This fun rom com is full of sassiness, fun, humour, a speck of naughtiness, a little angst, a bit of drama and a lot of passion and flying sparks.
It is entertaining and well written, and the characters are really well developed, endearing, and fun and you cannot help but like. I am an Aussie so it stands to reason that I would enjoy it. I loved their wit, banter, chemistry, and the perfect amount of push pull as they learn more about each other. I often found myself laughing at their antics or situations they found themselves in.
There is something magical about a tale that is set at Christmas time.
It’s a great book to escape from the drudgery of normal life for a while with a glass of wine.
I look forward to what comes next.

Detective Alexandra Danvers is a mess, she is just trying to survive each day, but when she is dropped into a murder of a young boy her thoughts are directed to her past and that is not a nice place to be.

Detective Xavier Knight has a job to do, not only is his assigned to Detective Danvers to assess her capacity to do her job but his also has a murder to solve, but as he investigates the murder further he starts to see the cracks appear within Danvers, but when a suspect from her past comes into the light can he save her from herself and his heart and his career in the processes

This is the second book in this series, and it does not disappoint, the characters are rich and well developed, which when you read believe you are part of the story and want to get to know them more.

As you read you understand why Lex is so damaged with life and her heart, with constant reminders everyday of the struggle she is at breaking point. As the book progresses you get to see the grit and determination that Lexi is not going to give in and that she is a survivor and will not let the darkness in. Xavier’s character although shifty at the beginning, I enjoyed discovering the overall admiration he had for Lexi in the end and that he sacrificed his career to help her.

I do have to say there are some triggers in this story regarding, abuse, suicide and dark depression but although these subject matters are hard to read sometimes, this author respects these subject matters with her writing, and you become invested in there stories.
I can’t wait to read the next boo in this series.
