Tracker (The Talisman Series)Tracker by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from ‘The Talisman Series’ so naturally when I found out there was a prequel, I could not wait to read it. In the first book of the series, you are introduced to the Sheridan brothers. Since Riley was already mated, you didn’t hear much about him or his love. This book focuses on him.

Riley and Lynnette meet at a party and are instantly attracted to each other, luck would have it that they are each other’s fated mates. Being the first Sheridan brother mated, Morgan wants to stop the bonding process and sends her forces to take Riley. It is up to Lynnette to save him but she doesn’t even know what her talisman powers are yet.

I really enjoyed reading about the youngest brother but honestly he was not what I expected. He was very cocky and full of himself. Nothing like his brothers. I wasn’t a big fan of his attitude. I was a fan of Lynnette though. She had a good head on her shoulders and calmed Riley down quite nicely. She was a caring, smart, sweet girl with some fire within her. They seem to be the perfect couple. This book is a lot shorter than the other books and doesn’t have a lot of Celtic lore but it is a great introduction to the series.

This is a love story. It is also a new take on the tale of King Midas. It’s a cautionary tale about yearning for what you think you lack. There is magic, so much magic, and the author seems to be saying that true magic lies in contentment. And, of course, the strongest magic of all is that of true love.

SargeSarge by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting little novella to read. We meet TJ, aka Sarge, as a young boy who’s delivering packages to put food on his table. A kindhearted person takes him under his wing and sets him on a successful path for life. This story is about that path his life took, which is much better than things were looking. Sarge is able to lead a successful group of people in black ops missions dealing with all sorts of things, including UFOs.

I appreciate how this was a “short and sweet” story and didn’t drag out a lot of details where they weren’t necessary. This book was just enough and I’d recommend it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love historical Romance, but I think this may be my first Western. I truly didn’t know how I was going to feel about this, and honestly starting the book, I had my doubts.
As I began the book, it took me quite a while, longer than I like to get into the book, but let me just say, once I got into this book I was hooked. Not only was I hooked I was emotionally invested and boy did this take me on a full rollercoaster ride of emotions.
I truly never thought I would have loved this book as much as I did.
The only reason why I gave this 4 stars was the slower build up, bus I am so glad I stuck with it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series Book 4) by Winter Austin. I have loved this series so much and I loved this book the most! It’s the story of Sheriff Shane Hamilton who has just won another election. The election was very hard and he has taken off for a quite weekend away. While he’s away his phone begins to blow up because a body has been found. Now his weekend away is gone. FBI agent Liz Bartholomew has come back to Eider, Iowa not of her own free will but because of a case. The suspect she is after has last been spotted there. She is not looking forward to running into the Sheriff but knows its inevitable. They have a history even though it didn’t end up pretty. When her case goes wonky she has to work with Shane and even though those old feelings come back she is trying to ignore them. Shane is not in the market for a relationship either but can’t help his feelings when he starts working with Liz again. Such a good mystery/romance!

Zibs for Sale:(I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom. Its not secret that this author is my favorite children’s author. I loved this book just as much as I’ve loved all the others. In this tale we meet Shirl and Eee-aah again and go on another fun adventure with them. When Shirl wants to introduce Eee-aah to her favorite snack Zibs they set out to find them. When they do find them Shirl doesn’t have any money so she steals them. When she is caught she has to work to pay off her fine. There are always lessons in these great books and this one has a STEM lesson involved. Such a fun, educational book for kids age 4-8. Would make a great gift!

This is book three in the McIntire County Series. Jolie Murdoch is the newest deputy in McIntire County. Her first job is to find a missing girl. While looking for the girl, Deputy Murdoch finds herself in front the suspect (the father of the missing child). The problem is that he is dead but he is not alone. There enters Xavier, a former marine who has a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), finds himself in some unwanted attention for the death of the missing girl’s father. However, he doesn’t remember any thing that happened before, during or after because he blacked out. It’s a lot of twist and turns in this one, but Winter Austin really has a knack for bringing all the twists and turns into an amazing story. I would like to point out, that I am reading these book out of order, I don’t recommend that you do. I should have started with book one and worked my way down but I will finish this series.

This is book four in the McIntire County Series. FBI Agent Liza Bartholomew follows the information about an elusive scam artist whom she has been looking for to Eider, Iowa. Sheriff Shane Hamilton is not very thrilled with an FBI agent in his county. Little did Shane know that this Liza would be the opening he needed in his personal life as well as his professional life.  Love, anger, resentment and a little sass is throughout the story. I could not put this book down!!!!! I literally read it from Sun Up to Sun Down. It had me on my seat the entire time. There are dead bodies, fires, and a some drama from the police department. I promise you that this book is one of the many that you will not be able to put down.

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series: #4)Liar, Liar by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Liar, Liar is book four in the McIntire County series and is a standalone story that is easy to follow without reading the previous three. I DO still recommend reading them in order if you can, for some back story and character development that (for me) makes the story so much better. This time around, we are focusing on Sheriff Shane Hamilton. After quite the year, he just wants some down time and quiet time to himself to reflect on all that has come to pass. That wish comes to an abrupt halt when his phone starts ringing nonstop and a body is found. FBI Liza Bartholomew gets word of the murder and is pulled back to Eider, Iowa…a place she thought she would never have to return to. Now the suspect she is chasing may know she is on the trail and her entire cover could be blown. It doesnt take long for the two to realize their cases are connected, and are forced to work together to find the killer before anyone else is found dead. A reluctant partnership becomes a bit more friendly, and a romance starts to bud. Liar Liar is a great addition to an already amazing storyline, and the plots keep thickening and twisting with each book. These are books you will want to read in one sitting, but be aware that not all the answers are always given! The not-so-clean endings can be frustrating but keeps you coming back for the next one.

From the moment I read the description for this book, I knew I wanted to read it. I was intrigued and wanted to find out what happened to the main character. Once I started reading, the book was just as intriguing. It is one of those books that is action packed, fast paced and exciting. I loved seeing how everything developed and I really enjoyed the connection between the two main characters.
This is one of those authors that really knows how to write a great story. Each one I have read is engaged and well written. I become invested in them all. This book is just as good as I have come to expect and I would certainly recommend it.

This was a beautifully written fantasy adventure. It is a young adult story however I enjoyed it just as much. It is full of magic, mischief, forbidden love, danger and adventure around every corner. I loved the way the old saying “be careful what you wish for” comes into play in a big way in this story. The story itself is unique however the author uses parts of other stories and tales which to me make it even more magical.

The story focuses around a orphaned maid who as the story progress we learn is not all she seems. When she finds a magical creature which could give her what she needs to be free of her life as a servant she feels hope for the future. However, things don’t go as she imagined and when other find out about her gift it leads her on a adventure to escape the wish she thought she wanted. With so many elements and characters it is a fast paced magical read that I wasn’t able to put down until I completed the story.
I can’t wait to read this to my neices who i know will adore it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Stories series. These books can be read as standalones, but I do recommend reading the entire series as there are characters which interconnect.
The author was able to portray the emotions of the characters very well, to the point you can’t help but get emotionally invested in them. The trauma that Hadley has experienced (as an example) and how this has affected her, changed her and the danger she’s in tugs at your heartstrings, you want to jump in and take the pain away.
The descriptive narrative paints vivid imagery that makes you feel you could step into the world alongside the characters and experience what they do.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Hadley and Ross, the chemistry was evident, and the progression was believable. The character development was also enjoyable and believable.
This is was enjoyable read and contains doms and subs and BDSM so if this is not for you be aware of this. I’m hoping for more soon!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the McIntire County series. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the others first.
As usual the author’s writing style is great, flowing well and descriptive, creating vivid imagery of characters and scenery. There were plenty of twists and secrets in this book and I think the plot has a lot of potential to be incredible, but this was my least favourite of the series so far.
This was an enjoyable story overall, but the characters are what tampered my enjoyment in this one. I really enjoy the series, but there was something about the characters that didn’t have the same realism for me. I felt for them both, and it was great that the emotion was there with their difficult pasts but as the story progressed the character interactions became less believable.
Overall this was enjoyable and I look forward to more.

Merry Christmas, Montana (The Millers of Marietta Book 3)Merry Christmas, Montana by Elsa Winckler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging festive contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Having read and enjoyed the previous books in the series I was looking forward to returning to Marietta, Montana and ‘catching up’ with the millers, however it can also be read as a standalone story. Single Mum Riley O’Sullivan lives in Portland with her young son Dylan, she isn’t one to complain and definitely does not believe in miracles, even at Christmas. Having traveled to Marietta to spend Christmas with her family, the last thing she needs is maddening Mitch Miller coming to her rescue and surprisingly awakening her senses. Mitch moved to the small town with his two sisters having left a successful financial career behind him, but he’s definitely not looking for love, until Riley. Riley seems to captivate him like no woman ever has, of course she thinks he’s overprotective and a grinch.
Meanwhile Riley is also having to deal with Dylan asking questions about Dads and what they do. Mitch thinks that both mother and son could do with a little Christmas magic, not thinking that he could be about to loose his heart to them both. Neither Riley or Mitch know that Dylan made a Christmas wish, which if it comes true will bring them all together, as a Christmas miracle! As usual the descriptive narrative brings the characters and the wonderful Marietta vividly to life, including the small town feel. The chemistry between Riley and Mitch really came across in the narrative, and I loved the relationship development between both them and Dylan. This was a perfect book to read to get into the Christmas spirit!

The Man In BlackThe Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Man In Black is a wild west thriller with a gay romance. It’s fun, engaging and at times gripping. We follow the young protagonist, who has named himself Simon Shaw, as he pursues his dream of joining an outlaw gang.

Simon is a wonderful protagonist. He is naive in many ways, but has a clear vision of the future he wants and who he wants to be within it. Like many queer people, he is resisting the path that is seemingly laid out for him and following the only path he can think of that allows an escape.

This story is well researched with plenty of immersive world building. It’s cinematic at times! This, along with the suspense of the mysterious murders, will draw you into a book you will struggle to put down. (But please do put it down occasionally, it’s long and you need to eat!).

This book gets five stars from me! I love LGBT+ representation in genre fiction and this is a great example.

I appreciate the author’s detail in the world building and background of the story. The characters were well thought out and developed well throughout the story. You get pulled into the story and want to keep reading which is a good aspect of any well written story. I’m glad I took a chance on this one.

This book is book four of the series. This is a romantic suspense novel.

Hannah is still struggling with her brother’s murder. She turns to family and work to help get her through. Doyle is doubting his future but maybe he can redeem himself. Hannah needs protection from the person that has become obsessed with her and Doyle needs to redeem himself. Neither one of them knew that their closeness would lead to more issues.

This was a good read. The books don’t need to be read in order. There was just enough suspense to suck you in and keep you waiting to finish it. The story was well written. The progression of Hannah and Doyle’s relationship was realistic. I enjoyed this book.

Mr Wimp (The Human Mating Site #1)Mr Wimp by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After twelve years of marriage, Joel announces he is leaving Bella.

‘I’d never experienced heartbreak before. I’d coasted for so long, content with what I had been given, that this all seemed like a strange dream. This wasn’t happening. Things like this didn’t happen to me. ​Joel was meant to be safe; it was one of the reasons I had married him. Why was he doing this to me? “I can’t do this anymore. I’m leaving you.”

Throughout the following months, Bella realizes how much she has changed and how she loss her interest in being married. She starts to resume hanging out with friends,

‘It turned out, I was still a social butterfly. Most of my evenings lately either involved Zumba, a live music event or I’d go to the pub with my friends. I’d lost this part of me for so long that I thought this bubbly, vibrant version of me didn’t exist anymore. It amazed me how I’d allowed one person to change me so much. I couldn’t even recall when I had started to lose myself. It must have been a gradual thing. Year by year, pieces of me had floated away into the abyss that had been our relationship. It made me think: had I ever been happy? Had I settled for Joel, thinking it wouldn’t get any better? Honestly, looking back now… I had.”

I could relate to Bella with this. The relationship lasted only a year, but I started to stop doing things that I enjoyed such as going to the movie theaters and going out to dinner by myself because my significant other at the time did not like to do them so I stopped. It has taken years before I started to enjoy them again, which included reading fanfiction. How one could get so invested in a relationship that they lose themselves. In a weird way, it was a relief to know that I was not the only person that has done that.

I was enjoying this book so much that when I turned the page, I was shocked to see that there would be a sequel called ‘Mr. Smooth’. I did say out aloud ‘WTF, you can’t just end it there!’

Needless to say, I am anxiously waiting to read the next part. I knew it was short, but I was unprepared just how quickly I would be reading it.

I was concerned about how fast they were moving, but could tell Con was super into Jessica and that wasn’t going away anytime soon. When tragedy struck, my heart kind of broke a little wondering how things would play out with their future. I was confused about how Jessica’s friend Syd and Con’s brother knew each other but, it didn’t deter from the point of the book. The thoughts behind the book and the concept of the story was great. I like how this author worked, helping the homeless into this book, it flowed so nicely and really makes you think how you can help in your own area.

Liar, Liar: The McIntire County Series: #4 by Winter Austin- this was an amazing book! It’s the 4th in a series but can also stand alone. Gives enough back story on the characters that you know them, but not so much that it bogs the storyline down if you’ve read the previous books.

This one focuses on the towns sheriff, Shane, and a yet another murder mystery that happens in his small town. The characters are believable and realistic. Great world building, and I love how the author can convey and help you feel the characters frustrations and emotions while reading.

Would recommend starting from the beginning, but if you didn’t it’s still a good read!

The history loving side of me really enjoyed it! I also really liked how at the end of most chapters there was an author’s note explaining the historical accuracy/importance or realty of the times for that situation.

The world building was amazing, characters were super easy to love and/or hate depending on who they were! Intrigue start right away and keeps you guessing throughout. Great book.

The Lightning Horse is the first book in the Empire at Twilight Series. It is a historical fiction that takes place in the exotic land of Turkey during the Hittite empire. The story centers around the character of Tiwatipara who is a young Hittite charioteer. He is kind, smart, funny, loyal and a hero to many. He is reeling with grief, guilt, and sorrow over the loss of his father in a chariot accident. When Tiwatipara learns that the death of his father during a chariot accident was actually sabotage intended for the King he sets out to seek the killer. As he sets out to uncover the truth, he finds out that some friends may not be what they seem, and that political corruption is at the root of it. Danger lurks and Tiwatipara must determine who are his true friends and who are his enemies. This book was well written with historical accuracy and a great attention to detail. It had action, suspense, mystery, murder, betrayal, deceit, lies, secrets, and good versus evil.
