I’ve read a few of Brooke May’s previous books and really enjoyed them. This series did not disappoint! It was such a cute and funny story. Quick and enjoyable read! Faida, another one of Cupid’s helpers, has got more of an icy exterior due to her past experiences of matching. On her new matching assignment, she is paired with Robert and his heartstring is strongest with that of his daughter. Being a single dad brings you closer to your children for sure! With this challenge that Faida faces, she must find a way to make sure Robert can find his love match before it’s too late. I highly suggest reading this series in order as tidbits here and there make more sense as you progress along with each book.

I’ve read a few of Brooke May’s previous books and really enjoyed them. This series did not disappoint! It was such a cute and funny story. Quick and enjoyable read! Aiko is one of Cupid’s helpers when it comes to helping humans find their perfect match. She has had the unfortunate reputation of getting overexcited and overly helpful when it comes to matching her humans and sometimes has ended up in disastrous scenarios. She has been given another chance and wants to prove to everyone that she can set a perfect match without hazardous results. So many funny moments and romantic match made!

Jade: Hidden Scars by A Akinosho is a story about Jade a Naseer. This forbidden age gap story starts with an accidental meeting that will change everything. They are both utterly broken but help to heal each other. Even when everyone else is trying to tear them apart. The immaturity and gullibility of the FMC is to be expected from a sixteen-year-old even if it can be a bit frustrating. Overall, this was a great story and an easy and quick read. Looking forward to book 2. 4 out of 5 Stars.

I absolutely loved this book. It’s not for the faint of heart. Lots of triggers for some I guess but, it made the book that much better. Definitely a dark read. I love how Kingston knows who Ava is. He didn’t just have his men grab a stranger to hold captive until someone pays his debt. Kingston knows Ava and her brother. He also knows what her brother is capable of and just how Ava is pretty much a sitting duck in this whole book. Kingston might be holding her captive to use her to pay off her brother debt but, if he didn’t get to Ava first l, someone else might’ve and as much as Ava fights Kingston and tried to escape, the reality is, she’s safer with him then anyone else. He’s very protective of her and won’t let anyone else near what’s his and right now, she is his to do with as he pleases. Ava is his little lamb who can be quite feisty when she wants to be. She doesn’t just sit there and wait to see what happens. She tries to find ways to escape even though that’s the worst thing she can do. I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for the readers. This was definitely a 5 star read for me.

I feel this is a better story than the last couple. It was a little sporadic in the beginning but once it got rolling it was wonderful! I was completely glued to the story and trying to figure out what is going to happen. The secondary characters are starting to fill out and become full of life. Plus we are seeing more out of Makayla. Who can she trust and who is part of the problem? I was unhappy with the way the story stopped but it leaves me wanting more!

Children of the Wild is the first book I have read by Krysta Tawlks and a book my middle-grade kids will love! (I always read books before them, you never know what someone might sneak in, and I am a horror lover so have been properly traumatized lol). This book is a historical fantasy that is full of coping with all the big emotions kids go through, such as anger and love. The characters and settings are written so well and beautifully that you can really see yourself in the story, even with all the fantastical creatures. I really loved that the story deals with a young boy that has a lot of self doubt but learns to find himself. This is such a great under-lying lesson in a wonderful story and I hope to pick up more by this author! Very well done!

This is the first book in the Lottery Series. This is a psychological Thriller with lots of twists and turns. I was gripped from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. I like the first book that it’s part of a series and was left with an open ending so i can’t wait to find out what happens next. My heart went out to Lynn. She has a traumatic and a scary life living with her partner is abusive. It’s been a tough life walking on eggshells to avoid beatings. And now she has found out that she is dying of cancer. When she finally gets some good luck in the form of a lottery win, Lynn knows what she must do to make sure she can die in peace and that isn’t leave it to her abusive partner. However once he finds out about the win he starts making plans that Lynn has no intention of making happen. As Lynn struggles with her illness while sorting out her win there is more dangerous elements. At first Lynn was sure it would be her partner that would kill her for the money, however things take a sinister turn when a stranger becomes an even bigger risk and threat to her life. How far are they prepared to go to get their hands on Lynn’s money.
This is a story of danger, angst, secrets and lies which makes it a rollercoaster of a read.

‘A King so savage’ by April Moran is the first book in the ‘Savage duet’ series and I am already on the hunt for book – As I NEED to know what happens next. This book is a hot and streamy page tuner!!!
Kingston aka King is owed money by Ava’s brother. So he kidnaps her to try to get her brother to pay up the millions that he owes.
Meanwhile he locks Ava in a cell and tries to fight his overwhelming attraction and affection towards her. Lots of action packed sex scenes without actually having penetrative sex so Ava’s virginity remains intact.

The Uncrowned King is the second book in the deliciously dark The Blood Prince trilogy by Ayla Marie. I was introduced to Ayla when I read her first book The Blood Prince and said she is one author to watch, and she certainly is. She is still in high school, but her work is wonderful, and she has a great knack at storytelling. The Uncrowned King is another intriguing YA fantasy and shows Ayla Marie’s natural talent. Even though it is a YA story it can be read by anyone of any age. I am 61 and I enjoyed it. It is an interesting tale that you won’t be able to put down. The world building is spot on, and the story became so engrossing that the pages kept on turning. Sleep is overrated anyway. Ayla is just as good if not better than some of the seasoned authors I have read.
This is a great read that is action packed with lots of danger and hidden agendas, drama with lots of twists and turns that will have your heart pumping and you will be on the edge of your seat. I am not giving away any spoilers because it is a story that should be explored on your own. Do yourself a favour and delve into the world of The Blood Prince. Can’t wait for the next book.

It’s been a while since I have enjoyed the goings on of the Brookes Cupid’s and was excited when I saw this new book out. These Cupids have all the right intensions but not everything goes to plan. You will fall in love with them and their quirky ways. Seraphina is the fourth book in the wonderful romantic comedy The Heartstrings Series. The books in this series are funny, fun, original and refreshing. This story that drew me in from the start and I found myself getting lost in the story. It’s easy to get lost in the story and you can’t help but fall in love with this quirky cupid. Laughing out loud with her antics as she tries to right her wrongs. Seraphina is not like the other cupids; she is fiery and sassy and is determined to help this hockey superstar who is full of himself find love. If it means she has to knock him over the head with whatever she has to get him off his high and mighty pedestal she will. Seth thinks he is all that but all that has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion, not that he cares. Let the mayhem begin! Grab a drink and settle in for an entertaining afternoon read.

I have to admit I love finding new authors and books. This was definitely one great find. I love to be plunged into the dark fantasy world that this author has created. I like the fact that the main character has a disability and will not let it hold her back. I love how the author is able to bring the characters to life. The story is created and it unfolds leaving me wanting more. I really did not want to put this book down and I really cannot wait to read more from this author. This was a great diversion from my total favorite genre of paranormal romance.

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery) by Alice Bienia. This is such a good story and it can be read as a standalone but I always recommend reading them in order to better understand everything. Its the continuing story of Jorja Knight Private Investigator who is from Canada and she is supposed to be meeting her friend, Gabriella in Instanbul for a vacation. When Gabriella doesn’t show up at the airport Gabriella thinks its odd but thinks maybe she got busy. When she gets to Gabriella’s her stuff is there but its been gone thru. When Gabriella doesn’t show up the next day Jorja is super concerned and decides to report her missing. Jorja knows she has no powers over in Instanbul but she can’t just sit around waiting. When a dead body shows up she knows she has to find her. Will she find her before its too late? Read this fun mystery to find out!. I love this author’s writing because I felt like I was in Instanbul while reading.

Unexpected by Laylah Abrams. I truly loved this modern day twist romance. Its the story of Claire Morgan who is a heiress and she has a fake social profile. She is not the air headed, shallow girl that she leads people to believe she is. Nick Holden is a struggling artist/waiter who is trying not to lose his scholarship. When he and Claire meet they don’t think they could ever have a future together because of their vastly different backgrounds. They have so much in common though and the more time they spend together the more they realize they enjoy each other’s company. Nick encourages Claire to enter the tech world she so desperately wants to and Claire helps Nick to beat his artistic slump. They are so good for each other. Will they be able to make their relationship last and go against the society rules? Read this fun romance to find out!
I really enjoyed this anthology of festive reads. It has really put me in the Christmas spirit. There are 11 stories by 11 different authors all of who have a different and unique tale to tell but each one is entertaining and enjoyable. There are several types of stories in this book from sci-fi fantasy and paranormal to historical, Romance and mystery. There is literally something for everyone no matter what type of story you enjoy reading.
While I don’t have a favourite out of these collection because they were all unique and I loved them all in different ways, it has definately helped increase the overall feeling of Christmas spirit and the magic of this time of year.
One of the stories that really spoke to me was Unwrapping The True Spirit by Electra Gajdos. This is a beautiful story about the Keen family and their journey to find the true meaning of Christmas. It is full of drama, mischief and pranks and really brings the true meaning for Christmas and more importantly the meaning of time with your family to light.
This anthology will be one that I pick up and read every Christmas from now on.
This book is a fun and entertaining cozy mystery story that really pulls you in right from the word go. The main character for me is absolutely what makes this book. She is so funny to read about and I connected with her so easily. It is such fun watching her navigate everything thrown on her and I could have carried on reading all day. The story itself is really good too. I was intrigued by everything going on and want to see how things would turn out and who would be involved. This is the kind of book I found myself reading so fast because I couldn’t put it down. This is a brilliant story and entertaining from start to finish.

This is such a sweet and brilliant book that is design to reaffirm a child’s belief in themselves. Although the book focuses on a young Asian boy, the affirmations can easily be applicable to all children. In today’s world, children rarely seem to get to hear how well they are doing, and how great they are. This book is perfect for reinforcing that concept and is a great book to read together as a family. I read this with both of my children and they each seemed to take away different things from it. This is a fantastic book that I would urge everyone to read.

What an entertaining and totally unputdownable mystery. I found April May to be one the most intriguing characters that I’ve read in a cozy mystery this year. She’s torn between wanting to go back to the big city and staying in the small town she’s in. Wesley sounds like an adorable vet. My mind pictures Mat from Fuller House. Adorable. I loved the mystery because it seemed to have its own little subsets branching out. The cast of characters was perfect for a small town mystery. I couldn’t stop reading this once I started. It’s fun, humorous and will have you giggling as you figure out who the culprit is. A wonderful book. I’m going to have to go back and read the first book.

I absolutely adore the Cupid series. Seraphina had me chuckling. She’s a little grumpy because she’s stuck with Josh again. She’s tried twice to match him to no avail. Maybe the third time will be the charm. I found this story quite entertaining. You felt like you were right there, whether it was with Seraphina, Seth, or Marron. It’s humorous and serious at the same time. As a society, there is a fascination with celebrities. We want to see and imagine what it’s like to have what they have. I enjoyed this story because it fed that fascination. Seraphina brings together two people with their own sets of issues and it somehow all worked out fine after some guided adventures. It can be read as a standalone. I recommend the whole series. They are all wonderful.

Unclutter (Inner Voice Book 1) by Winnie D Pagora. This is a young adult very traumatic read. Its the story of Tina Lauren who is a survivor of sexual abuse. She is attacked by powerful and wealthy Nicholas Parker and when she stands up for herself it becomes even worse. So all Tina’s life she has been abused by men on different levels. She is so traumatized that she acts out in different ways such as cutting.

Then she meets Ekon and he is cute and friendly and she actually really likes him. This is a wonderful book full of deeply tragic things but shows that Tina with the help of her friends can survive this hard life she has been given. There are some triggers in this read so be prepared and its also very emotional at times. Such a good story that probably happens in real life a lot more than we want to believe.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott. This is such a good series and I loved this book. Its the story of Regan who is a romance author and currently on her latest tour to promote her latest book. She usually loves tours but this one is different, she’s on tour with her sworn enemy Pavlo who was invited to promote his new thriller. Regan is a single mom who loves her job and child and will do anything to protect her child. Pavlo was excited at first to do the tour but when he finds out his least favorite author will be with him. He just tries to keep his distance and do his own thing until Regan and her daughter become the target of danger. Pavlo will do whatever it takes to keep them safe and as they spend more time together they begin to see they actually have a very deep chemistry. This is a great slow burn, enemies to lovers book.
Porter and Midge: Paws and Playtime: A Kid’s Guide to a Happy Dog (Porter and Midge Children’s Book Series) by Jennie Chen and Giselle Nevada. This is such a sweet heartwarming story about children and their dogs. These books are so educational and fun. My 5 year old nephew loved it and giggled throughout. Porter and Midge are CJ and Lora’s dogs. CJ and Lora take Porter and Midge around town learning new things and seeing new things. The story is done in rhymes and has a sing song feel to it that my nephew loved. Be sure and add this cute story to your young one’s library. It will a great addition.

Encounters With Old Coyote is a collection of thirteen short stories featuring Old Coyote that was first introduced in previous books written by this talented author. It has emotion, loss, grief, hope, paranormal elements, magical realism, shapeshifters, and spirits. The story centers around the character of Andrea who found out she had cancer, so she decided to end her life on her own terms and in a location of her choosing. To her surprise, she discovers that she is caught in the afterlife as a spirit and finds herself questioning all she has ever known. As an atheist, Andrea never believed in the existence of God but now she is full of questions about whether God actually exists. She runs into Old Coyote who is in his spirit form and the two begin to talk. She asks him questions about life and death and the existence of God. Old Coyote and Andrea wander and share stories and memories from their past. The scenes were vivid, beautifully written, and pull you into the story. The character of Andrea is one that I felt instantly drawn to and empathized with. This was a poignant and thought provoking read.

Detective Dylan and the Case of the Missing Mail is a cute story about an eight-year-old boy named Dylan who is super excited about becoming a detective over the summer and solving mysteries. After receiving a parcel in the mail that contains his new Super Sleuth Spy Kit, he sets off with his little sister Emily, that he lovingly refers to as Tattle Tale, and their beloved pet dog, to solve the case of the neighbor’s missing mail.

A burglary, a new romance, and a missing person: there’s never a dull moment for April May, Laurel Lake’s newest town reporter.
Especially when the robbed store burns to the ground and the cantankerous owner is presumed dead.
Theories run wild from the coffee shop to the craft club, where April still can’t crochet to save her life.
Until strange sightings and a threatening note plunge this big-city girl turned small-town sleuth into a thickening plot of intrigue.
It would be easier to sniff out the clues with the help of her foster dog Ralph, only a suspicious stranger suddenly turned up to claim him.
With the comfort and help of her new friends and the handsome vet in town, April discovers curious connections between Ralph’s owner, recent events, and her mysterious past.
When a close call puts her sweetheart in the hospital, April has to race against time to find out who has cooked up this recipe for revenge.
Unless she who it is quickly, April may not end up in the hospital but in the morgue.

Cupids are thought to be jovial creatures, sent to help humans find their perfect love match.
Seraphina is far from the jovial type. Quick to find her temper rather than the serenity her sisters possess, she’s about to be given the test of her eternal life.
Seth Maxwell is a hockey superstar. The best in the world. From the Olympics to the league he plays on, he’s become a household name. But not in a good way. Known for not being a team player and ending up in one scandal after another with starlets, Seth needs a massive makeover.
And we aren’t talking about his looks.
Unfortunately for Seraphina, this isn’t her first encounter with the hockey player. Not that he would remember any of it.
They say the third time is the charm and Seraphina is determined now more than ever before to prove she has what it takes to help a man she’s failed in the past.
Let’s just hope Seth is willing to get off that pedestal he’s placed himself on to see what a good thing Seraphina is helping guide him to.
Forget the mythical bow and arrow, Seraphina is about to pull out all the stops to make Seth’s love connection stick.
