I really enjoyed this story. The friendships that are built and the fight you have within….Sue Cleary is finding her way. Being a stay at home mom, being an empty nester is soon coming. When a big shot believes building a big tourist attraction, Sue does not want her beautiful community to be roped in the fast lane. Finding strength to fight this idea coming…her mission is to make things right.

Wonderful story and I loved Sue’s character…she is totally relatable and I love the fight and spirit in her and the challenges she faced…

Zibs for Sale (I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Donya Pedigo

Zibs for Sale: a retelling of Beauty and the Beast (I am an Alien)Zibs for Sale: a retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lois Wickstrom is a magical author that brings life lessons through cute, entertaining stories. This is the third book in her (I am an Alien) series about Shirl and her alien friend Eee-ahh. This book is beautifully illustrated with colorful fun scenes that bring the story to life. In this installment, Shirl and Eee-ahh hear a song through Shirl’s interstellar radio, which starts them on a fun adventure through space. It’s on this adventure that Shirl mistakenly takes a zib thinking it was free and is accused of stealing. This brings up good lesson opportunities on stealing and doing the right thing as Eee-ahh wants to run off and leave without helping the Ba-Kerr (whom Shirl accidentally stole from) as payment for her stealing. I absolutely love these children’s books and Lois Wickstrom is on my automatic buy list.

The Podcast ChroniclesThe Podcast Chronicles by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an engaging and uplifting story, focusing on a character a later in her years than most stories. It was great to watch the character develop as she discovered more about who she is now. I think this book caught my attention more for having kids. This future is the one that many women will face and to see someone face it with such vigor is great, even if it is just a character.
This author is still relatively new to me but I like the writing style that applies across her books. Just like with this one, they are enjoyable yet easy to read, the kind of book you can easily while away an afternoon with. This was a great story with a brilliant character. I would definitely recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a unique and interesting story that is the perfect example of the type of work this author creates. This book is part of the Mission 3047 universe and it was great to get to learn more about this particular character. He is one that I found appealing from the moment I started to read about him, and this opportunity to discover more was welcome.
As with the other book, this was well written, original and an enjoyable read. I engaged with it straight away and loved watching how it all played out. This author really knows how to create imaginative stories and I am looking forward to the next one I read.

The Earl, Her Reluctant Guardian by Wareeze Woodson – Review by Kerry Carr

The Earl, Her Reluctant GuardianThe Earl, Her Reluctant Guardian by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a historical romance with a paranormal twist which I didn’t see coming but enjoyed. The author does an amazing job with the writing and really transports the reader back to that time period. What i like about this story is that the female character isn’t a shy girl who does as she is told as you would expect of this era, rather she is determined and knows her own mind and plays by her own rules.
Vanessa thought she knew what to expect when she returned home after the death of her uncle and even though she was saddened by his loss she was excited to start the new chapter in her life.
What she didn’t count on was all the complications that lingered. From a aunt and cousin still residing at the house, a guardian that sparks a fire inside her like never before, a ghost and a dangerous person committing murder there is more than enough to leave Vanessa’s head spinning.
This story has it all, family drama, Paranormal elements, a sizzling chemistry and murders that need to be solved.
The author’s writing was Great. I got completely lost in this story and i couldn’t put it down.

Truck Stopped (Satan’s Devils MC) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Amanda Glaspie

Once again, this book proved why this is one of my favorite series and I’m so incredibly sad to see it end for the Tucson chapter. This was wonderfully and beautifully written. I felt every single emotion between Trucker and Allie. I found myself unable to stop listening and when I had to “put the book down” I found myself thinking a out it. I loved how this followed the same normal format as all the other books but also gave closure to the Tucson club. As always the narrators were fantastic and were absolutely perfect.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in The Balefire Series. The story of Annabelle and Dakota is so good. This is a second chance romance as long as they both get out of their own heads and admit what they truly feel for each other. There is just so much to this story. Each book in this series just gets better.

This is a pretty good book. Jasmine, Blake and Luke are the primary trio. One’s a best friend and the other is the alpha. It was Jasmine’s job to follow the rules and between the three that was pretty hard to do. It’s a good paranormal romance that is pretty predictable. I liked the storyline.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fascinating piece of work. She was finding herself at an intersection in her life. Her last two boys at home were growing up and getting ready to leave the nest. Her husband was always gone and distracted with his business. Some big developer wanted to come in and tear up the beautiful valley of Durango, where she lived and raised her boys. Oh, the challenges she faced. I could so relate to this story. I don’t really know what my job is now that I’m raising my grandson. I was an empty nester for 1-2 years. I don’t live in Durango but I’ve actually been to the town since I live a couple of hours from it and Silverton. They are so beautiful and don’t need stinky developers in there. We fight that all the time. They have invaded Montrose and Grand Junction. Ruined the beauty of the mountains. I loved watching her develop her podcast. I’ve often thought of that but fear gets me. She is a strong character and watching her fight for what she loves is inspiring and makes you believe in things again. As far as women’s fiction goes, this is one of the best I’ve read this year. I hope there is more from this author on this character.

What an entertaining and cute story. Kingston is out on walks with his momma and she’s showing him the types of animals out there. They are all dogs to him. Well, to him thinking, they have all the parts that a dog body does. It’s funny to stop and think about the child perspective. Little Kingston kind of makes sense from his end. Mom makes sense too. This story will start many conversations among parent and child as they read it together during storytime. Going for walks with your children and talking about what you see is also one extra benefit that can come from reading this. A wonderful addition to any library. The illustrations are lovely, bright and colorful. It’s a well-done story.

Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand Series Book 1) by Nicole E. Kelleher

Wild Lavender is the first book in the Heart & Hand Series and is a Historical Romance/Fantasy / Paranormal Romance that I enjoyed ready. This is a fairly new author to me and I wasn’t really sure what to expect going in but man once I started reading there was no stopping. I was drawn in from the beginning and found myself lost in the pages. Wow not at all what I expecting but a thousand times better. This story is packed with action, danger, adventure, politics and so much more. Anna finds herself in an arranged marriage to Lord Roger who is not a nice man but a very cruel yet evil man. She’s a strong woman who somehow get the strength to overcome the fear of him. What will happen when Larkin appears in town? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next especially if you enjoy historical romance. I look forward to seeing what other books this author has.

To top it all there’s matters of the heart involved when she has to work side by side with her d flame FBI agent Boyce Hunt , these 2 have some unfinished business as it is and their flame is smouldering and despite all that’s going on their passion. Is rekindled …..

Expect the unexpected, you’ll be kept on your toes throughout this read of that I can assure you 🥰📚
We get to know more of Cassie and who she is and what makes her tick which was nice because we only met her in Atonement and she played a vital role .

There was a moment where I swear my heart stopped ! Cassie and Hunt are held up in her home and all I could of was her past trauma and how it would effect her and her reactions but fear not this Amazonian warrior took the bull by the horns , a real and true survivor! You left me in awe girl !

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is a a YA Fantasy that is fast paced and hard to put down once you start reading. This is a fairly new author to me and her style of writing and attention to detail makes for a wonderful story. I truly enjoyed reading this book so much that it was easy to loose track of time and before I knew it I was half way in bore taking a break. The characters are developed, creative, relatable and real they bring the story to life. This one is about betrayal, secrets and facing those who should have never betrayed you in the first place. What will happen when a secret that is not meant to be found out about come out? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give to much away. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool is a great thriller romance.

Fenimore James, a naive dreamer, flees his home and travels to the west to become Simon Shaw, a renowned bandit. His fantasies of glitzy heists are quickly dashed, though, when he joins the notorious Red Evans gang and finds himself caught up in a bizarre game where gang members are mysteriously being killed off one at a time by an unknown pursuer who leaves cryptic marks scarring their bodies.Fenimore’s waking hours turn into misery as he starts to doubt his own sexuality and finds himself falling in love with a fellow male gang member whom he had just recently dreaded and detested. While the Man in Black, a strange dream character, keeps him up at night.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Truck
Badly burned and injured I’ve lost everything. I can’t fight fires anymore, or even ride my bike.
I brood, alone. I even have thoughts of ending my life. What have I got to live for?
That was when I hit my lowest point and began to want to fight back.
I couldn’t do it alone, but never expected the person who’d be a friend to me would be Allie.
Was she like the rest of the sweet butts willing to do anything to become a biker’s old lady? Had she sunk her claws into me because she thought I was easy? Was she ignoring my scars just so I’d patch her?
Was she encouraging me back to the club for her interests or for mine?
Could I move past the fact all my brothers had known her intimately?
Allie
I enjoy sex. I’m not going to apologise for that. But Truck? He was different. It wasn’t just getting off with him, it had been something else. Something I wanted to explore.
Before I got my chance he’d gone, and hadn’t returned, or at least, not as the man he once was.
The club wants him back, so I volunteered to try to reach him.
My heart shattered when I found him scarred, broken and angry, but I wouldn’t let him push me away. He needed a friend and I could be that.
I can’t hope for anything more. Biker’s never fall for sweet butts, do they?

Genre – Crime, Thriller

Cover Designer – Kim Peticolas

Rumrunners. Secrets. Murder. In the 7th thrilling addition to the Logan McKenna Mystery series, Logan’s persistent digging is about to get her killed.

Things are changing for Logan McKenna. She bought a fixer-upper with Ben on the Oregon coast and is about to meet her half-sister, Olivia, who, until last year, she didn’t know existed. But the remodel is going smoothly and Logan begins to relax and even look forward to the upcoming visit with Olivia.

Before Logan gets the chance to meet her new sibling, a young woman, Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Collins, is found dead—drowned in the pool of The Collins, her family’s landmark Depoe Bay hotel.
Was this a horrible accident, or murder?

Emerging details are murky. Logan and Olivia soon find themselves inexorably drawn into what is starting to look like a homicide investigation. Discoveries in Logan’s new house offer tantalizing glimpses of long-hidden crimes.

Piecing the truth together from old journals and new confessions, Logan begins to rattle the killer’s cage. Can Logan dig through the tangled secrets and lies that bind two families together before another innocent dies?

If you enjoy Nevada Barr’s Anna Pigeon, J. A. Jance’s Joanna Brady or Ali Reynolds, Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone, William Kent Kreuger’s Cork O’Connor, or Elly Griffith’s Ruth Galloway, you’ll love Davisson’s Logan McKenna!

In Lies That Bind, Davisson explores themes of mental illness, jealousy, shame, and guilt as well as the redeeming power of love, trust and community. What makes a murderer? Are killers born or bred? One thing’s for certain, secrets never stay that way and only love can heal.

Sins of the Father (The McIntire County Series: #3)Sins of the Father by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like reading a book series and this one hasn’t disappointed me yet. The author does a great job of world and character building. I especially like that we’re provided with a different character, Jolie’s point of view in this book. She is a new member of the force and gets immersed in a case of a missing girl.
The story kept my attention, between the characters from earlier books, the new characters, some drama, and even a romance mixed in. All of that means I couldn’t stop reading!

Kingston and his mom are out on a walk. During the walk, Kingston loves to see all the dogs out walking with their owners. Kingston is a huge fan of dogs! His mom points out other animals and tells him what they are (cat, squirrel, etc) but he’s convinced they are all dogs as they have similar parts.

This book is a bit humorous in terms of what Kingston sees when he sees different animals. An elephant, bear, and even a fox have Kingston saying “dog”. Younger kids will appreciate the “baby talk” from Kingston on the pages of the book as well. The illustrations are very well done. They are very vibrant and engaging.

SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5(The Logan McKenna Series)SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Safe Harbor is the fifth book in the Logan Mckenna Mystery Series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone mystery – it’s the first that I’ve read, but now I’m keen to go back to read more and get to know the stories behind some of the characters!

The Oregon Coast provides a stunning backdrop for this mystery. Logan is there on holiday with her family, including her young grandson. There are so many activities for them to enjoy, but getting caught up in a murder is not something any of them planned.

I enjoy how this story revolves around such interesting family dynamics. Logan has a lot of complicated relationships and past trauma that she has to work to keep from impacting her present life. This adds plenty of interest and depth to the story!

For me, this is a five star read! It will appeal to readers who enjoy exploring an interesting destination through the eyes of a protagonist, and who like a mystery that will give them plenty to think about.

Read this book to find out how this tour goes for these two.

What an incredible book in this series, I really enjoyed the first book quite a bit and so this was like icing on the cake. But be advised that reading book 1 is highly recommended before jumping into this one. Once again, this book made you feel like you were right there with everyone experiencing this whole adventure. The way the world build out the world in my mind made me really feel like I was right there with everyone. I really enjoy Gwyn she’s a super strong-willed woman that doesn’t take crap from no one, I enjoy that this book is more aged with women that even thou at this age they should have their life together that sometimes it doesn’t. outspoken, swears, falls, kicks butt and is just downright real. This book is filled with everything supernatural, laughs, adventure, normal problems of life, entertaining, I absolutely loved this book in more then one way, due to the fact it’s almost related able with what life would be like if some how right now there really are supernatural begins out there.

Wild Lavender was the first book I’ve read from Nicole E. Kelleher. Honestly, wow. I was blown away by how good this story was. I’m not typically someone who enjoys a period piece but this was very well written and kept my attention until the very end. Anna is one incredibly strong and determined woman. After realizing her arranged marriage was going to be anything but loving and romantic, Anna needs to be bigger than her husband. Thankfully he tends to be away for long periods of time which allows her to become close with the people. This book does have quite a bit of everything. Steam, romance, treason, resilience. I greatly enjoyed the relationship between Anna and Larkin. I wasn’t sure about reading a medieval times book but I’m very glad that I did. I’ll definitely read the others in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is narrated by a precious young toddler. He loves dogs. He is convinced that each animal he encounters is a dog. He always has a logical (at least for a tot) reason for believing each is a dog. His long-suffering mom tries in vain to convince him otherwise.

The book that started it all. Here begins the introduction to Logan McKenna. Logan, a woman still in her prime has recently lost her husband, her job, and her way in the world.

A can’t put down first book.
