Human Mating Site Box Set 1
By: B.L. Wilde

This is such a fun idea. It is a series of books about Bella and her experiences as a single woman in her 30s. Each book focuses on a different experience with men. In the first book we discover Mr. Wimp, the ex husband who gets us started on our journey. After that we find out more about Bella as Bella discovered more about herself. There are all sorts of different experiences she encounters and each one really leaves her learning more and more about herself. We meet Mr. Smooth and is honestly the usual man any woman meets right after a breakup. Its a fun start but not someone you really want to spend a lot of time with. After that she meets Mr. Kinky who lives up to his name.
I truly loved this set and cannot wait to read more in the series.

Deja Brew All Over Again
By: Sylvie Stewart

This is the third book in the love on tap series. I have read each and every book and have loved each and every book. I do want to note however that I do believe that each one does function as a standalone.
This book features two very interesting and well developed characters. Miller is a bad boy who finds himself entangled with Maisy who just kind of fell into his lap (or more accurately jumped into his car). Maisy is a runaway bride and she just so happens to be the help that Miller might need. This book is absolutely amazing and I loved following Maisy and Miller on their adventure. I definitely suggest reading this book!

Oh I so need more of this story! Had this been an actual hard copy I would’ve found myself looking for more pages. Selene finds herself with no job and no place to live. She believes she’s a great exemplary employee but finds herself in desperate need of employment, once again.

She visits an acquaintance at the employee center where she is able to grab a listing for a job, on an island. Benefits is not only employment but housing as well.

Looks are deceiving and upon arriving she finds herself immersed in a whole other world. Will she run when she learns the truth or will she stay and make the best of it?

This is a fantastic read. The two main characters are Kai and Waters and they have a absolutely wonderful story. They are well written and I loved how it had the elements of a movie that needed done and a SEAL being called into consult on the movie. Both characters were amazing and I really loved watching them come together to work and then possibly come together for more. This was my first book written by Nicole Craig and I loved every last page. I am looking forward to reading more by her in the future.

Critical Care (Chase Care Book 6)Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Critical Care is a romantic suspense tale and the sixth book in the amazing Chase Care series. Each book gets better and better. Make sure to read them in order so you don’t miss out on all the goodness of the other books.
This story is a fast paced, medical romance thriller that had my heart pumping and I found myself on the edge of my seat in more than one occasion. There is drama, emotion, chemistry, spice, danger, suspense and the tension rising and your emotions on high. It is nonstop thrills and action in this enticing story.
I have said it before, but I will say it again Robin has cleverly woven together another story that you are unable to step away from. I found I was at the end before I knew it because I was so engrossed in the story,
This is Tim and Willow’s story, and I am in love with all the characters. I love the alpha men and strong women.
Lives are on the line as drugs are tampered with but that doesn’t stop Tim and Willow jumping in to make things right but in doing so, they put their lives on the line as well.
I love this series and the anticipation of what is to come is exciting. I want more.

Critical Care (Chase Care Book 6)Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to this latest medical romance and I was not disappointed. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this page turner of a novel and was hooked throughout. Tim Holland is a seasoned pararescue jumper along side being the facility director at Chase Care in Washington, DC. Willow Colson is a travelling nurse who is running away from her past bad relationships. The couple have been dating, but when Tim faces a life threatening personal battle it makes them both realise how much they mean to each other. Tim and Willow become involved in a medical mystery when Chase Care discovers that some chemotherapy drugs are being tampered with, resulting in countless lives being put at risk. The couple join an unlikely alliance with a man from Willow’s past in order to find out who’s behind the drug tampering and put a stop to it. Once again I was immersed in the world of Chase Care through the descriptive narrative which brings both the characters and the setting vividly to life. The storyline was full of drama and suspense whilst the plot twists kept the story unpredictable. It can be read as a standalone story, however I personally recommend reading the whole series as the characters do crossover. I look forward to book seven.

A fun Viking tale that you will enjoy listening to as you follow Thorinn on his adventure. He and his family have somehow irritated a witch who cast a curse on them. Talk about craziness. I read this on ebook. I really enjoyed it in audio. the soundtrack and narration really make it nice to lay down or sit back and just close your eyes and picture as you listen. The author does a fascinating job with details in his story and really brings out the details. I hope to see the rest of the series come out in audio.

Another really sweet story form this lovely series. My 5 year old absolutely loves the rhyming element to the books from this series and he definitely loved Cray and all his friends! I love that each story has a different meaning behind it – this one was all about helping people who are a little scared and that its ok to admit when you are afraid and need a little bit of help and encouragement from your friends.
The illustrations that accompany this story are so beautiful and really do complement the story well.
I can’t wait for more adventures from Cray and his friends!

When I first read the synopsis for this book I was instantly drawn to the story and I really did enjoy it. I loved Marcy so much, she was such a great, fun character to read about. The story was really entertaining and it definitely kept my attention from beginning to end. The authors writing was really great, I could certainly imagine all of the lovely vintage things she was describing, I love the 60’s and it was great to be transported back there with this story through their love of vintage fashion and the mysterious goings on of 1966!
I can’t wait to read more from this series!

I loved this book so much, it was honestly such a wonderful read and one of those books that you wish you could start all over again and experience again for the first time. I loved the characters, they were so relatable. Bailey was such a wonderful character, so strong and independent and I really felt a connection with her and this isn’t something that happens a lot for me. I thought the author did an amazing job with her character development. I really liked Fox as well and I admit I’d probably have fallen for his charm too!
A really sweet story and one that I absolutely loved reading. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Nessie and the Celtic Maze” by Lois Wickstrom is an enchanting and adventurous tale that takes readers on a journey from Loch Ness in Scotland to Lake Memphrémagog in Quebec. The story follows siblings Craig and Linda as they find themselves embarking on a quest to help Princess Sheona, Nessie’s daughter, who is trapped in a crumbling stone maze.

The author portrays a vivid and imaginative world filled with mystery and magic, where the mythical creature Nessie is not the only fantastical being to encounter. The characters, including the frightened Angus and his giant sister, add depth and humor to the story, creating a rich tapestry of personalities that readers will easily connect with.

Wickstrom’s writing style is engaging and immersive, drawing readers into the story from the very beginning. The pacing is well-done, keeping the plot moving forward and building suspense as the siblings navigate through the maze to find Princess Sheona.

The Curse of Jean LafitteThe Curse of Jean Lafitte by Mary Walsh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. This story was a captivating read about a 200 year old pirate returning to his home of New Orleans to break a curse. The author does an amazing job of mixing past with present day and I loved the character of Jean Lafitte. He was a typical pirate captain but I loved how amazed he was about everything that has changed and things he didn’t know about such as TV’s and phones.
This is a paranormal mystery involving pirates, a cure, missing jewels and a 200 yearnold curse that needs to be broken to free Jean and his crew from the purgatory they have found themselves in.
However Jean needs one thing to help him recover and return the jewels and break the spell the Named One, Juliet.
Juliet has had a rough time after losing her job she finds herself tending a bar. When Jean walks in she assumes he is another party goer who’s had one too many and when she hears his story she is even more convinced he is mad. When Jean asks for her help she reluctantly agrees. If for no other reason than it will entertain her for a couple of weeks.
And so the adventure and race against time begins. Will they find where the voodoo woman hid the jewels? Will they be able to return them to the island and break the spell in time? And what will happen if the curse is lifted?
This was a fun action packed paranormal adventure with spirits of the past as well as characters of the present. I really enjoyed it.

Critical Care (Chase Care Book 6)Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a fan of R.L. Dunn so when I saw an opportunity to pick this book up, I couldn’t pass on it. I thought it might be a general romance novel, which it is a romantic novel, but oh so much more! I also love medical themed books and this one did not disappoint. Many would be possibly turned off by the use of big medical terms but not this girl! I dove right in!

My initial first impression of the first few chapters is that it was a cheesy romance novel. The terms of endearment used between Tim and Willow were a bit over the top in my opinion. I almost spit out my drink a couple of times at the cheesiness of it all. However, the story took a quick turn from strictly romantic to being full of suspense. I couldn’t read it fast enough to know all the twists and turns. There were quite a few plot twists, which engaged me even further into the book. A couple I saw coming but not all of them.

I have not read the previous 5 books in this series. This can be read as a standalone. However, I’m very intrigued by this Chase Care organization, as well as being a fan of this author, so I’ll be going back and reading the other books in this series.

If you love a psychologically twisted plot full of medical procedures and jargon, this one will not disappoint!

Magic and imagination!!! This story is full of a bit of both. This is the perfect book to share with the kid in your life who still takes all those adventures without every really leaving home. Wickstrom has continued to paint a story showing you can have a strong bond with someone even when they are not with you all the time, which is what Carrie and her Grandmother have. When she moved, she left 4 boxes each that have contained items that have helped on the other adventures Carrie has already been on. I would recommend the whole series! You won’t be disappointed.

Out of Bounds is a sporty romance and the second sexy book in the NA Game Time sports series. I appreciate a good romance story with some sports involved and this book delivered!
Tam writes the story in multiple POV’s making the story that much more interesting because you feel like get to live through the characters and their inner most thoughts and feelings. Tam really went above and beyond with the detail that was used, especially with the banter and thoughts.
There are all kinds of emotions, humor, drama, love and so much more that made this story a hot, intense tale. Bax is a person who knows what he wants, and he wants Piper, and Piper is just interested in a one-night stand. Bax goes with it, because he doesn’t want to scare Piper away, but if only Piper knew what was in store for her! Piper is done with romance and even though she feels something about Bax, she can’t let it become anything more than a one-night stand.
Who wins this battle? Does Bax make it to the endzone and score a touchdown or does Piper intercept the ball and take the play into her own hands? There’s only one way to find out and that is to pick up a copy and read for yourself!

Dancing Butterfly (Butterflies Fly Free Series Book 2)Dancing Butterfly by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dancing Butterfly is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free Series by Debra Parmley. This was the first book I have read in this series and by this author, and I was pretty impressed! I liked that I could read this book as a standalone and not be completely lost about what was going on in the series. This book gave all of the feels of the Roaring 20’s and it was pretty entertaining! The language, flappers, and all of the glam you imagine with the Roaring 20’s was included in creating the storyline. In this part of the series, we learn about this life of Suki and her time with Frank, who happens to be one of Al Capone’s right-hand men. Suki finds herself in a whirlwind romance with Frank, and she isn’t too sure what is going to come from that relationship. As the story goes on, we are given quite the insight from Suki’s point of view and what it is like to be a flapper dancer in a club. She finds herself swept away by Frank who happened to save her life after she has an accident at the club and is able to escape a shooting. Frank basically claims Suki as his woman and makes sure that he is taking care of all of her needs while she recovers from her accident. Suki finds herself in unfamiliar territory because she is not accustomed to someone taking care of her the way that Frank is. This was an excellent and pretty quick read, that gives the reader a look into what life must have been like when a gangster and flapper fall for each other. There was a fair share of danger and love at every turn. I truly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to going back to read the first book of the story and I hope that there are more books to come in this series!

The Curse of Jean Lafitte (The Big Easy Collection)The Curse of Jean Lafitte by Mary Walsh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The City of the Dead in all its mystery. This is the first book I have read by the talented Mary Walsh and honestly the cover drew me in immediately followed but the synopsis. Having finally been to New Orleans for the first time for St. Patrick’s Day in March 2023, I have loved finding books that are based there. The perspective in this book is unique as it is dual perspective but not rigid. Sometimes paragraph to paragraph is from the others point of view and sometimes an entire chapter is primarily one or the other.
Jean Lafitte, and his crew visited Isla Mujeres, warned of the curses to anyone that removes anything from the island. After a treacherously long journey to New Orleans, they discover the cause of so many ailments, a gunner took six jewels from the island, two each of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Upon realizing they handled the man and looked to the Voodoo Queen herself, Marie Laveau for help on how to remove the curse. Unfortunately, she double crossed Captain Jean Lafitte and banished himself and his crew to their ship. Only she forgot her notes that revealed on the two-hundredth October new moon to rise over New Orleans the captain alone could leave the ship to find the jewels and remove the curse. Juliet Vance is a baker that is down on her luck and needed work she found a job at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar. On the night of the new moon, she comes face to face with Jean Lafitte but only passes him off as another drunk. Only the next day everything changes she comes to feel safe with him and wants to help him in his quest to remove the curse. Nothing could have prepared her for what she faced next. Jean could see the ghosts of the French Quarter, everywhere they went but when he touched her, she could suddenly see them too.
Will Jean find the jewels in time to free them all? How will Juliet handle the ghostly side of the city she adopted eight years earlier? What will happen if they fail? Some of the funniest parts are Jean Lafitte learning about modern things, and his first shower honestly gold. Not to mention his first time trying on a pair of jeans. Everything about this book immerses the reader. Honestly if you have been to New Orleans, you will easily picture the places in your mind, taste the drinks mentioned throughout the book. I personally have been to Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar, and it truly is just as it is described in the book. From the candles in jars on the tables to the stone furnace in the middle of the room. You can feel the history in the place. New Orleans is truly like no other place in the world, or at least the United States. The moment I left I wanted to return, and this book made me miss it more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved this series from the start. Having worked in the healthcare field for over 20 years, this series never fails to suck me in with the drama, suspense, romance, and action that can be found within the story. This story did not disappoint me. Tim and Willow’s story will take you on an emotional ride. These two met on an assignment in Maine and they decide to take a chance on a relationship. We all know how life can go. Toss in working for Chase Care and you have a combination ready to combust. There are a couple little subplots but they all tie back in together. I found myself tearing up, smiling, getting mad and running the whole gamut. These two and the Chase Care/Chase Security gang come together in a time of crisis to support and figure out what’s going on. I absolutely loved the writing. The characters are so wonderfully developed. The best part is that the author pulled in the gang from all the books. We had visits from Hunter, Flynn, Troy, Pete and others. It’s a fantastic story that will have you on the edge-of-your-seat. It can be read as a standalone. I recommend that you read the others, it gives you some knowledge into the other characters.

The Scottish Play (PolyAm Fam Book 1)The Scottish Play by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

The Scottish Play is the first book in a new series, Polyam Fam, by Phoebe Alexander. This book is contemporary romance- a romcom with plenty of fun, spice, a poly relationship, adventure, angst, drama, emotion, surprises, friendship, family, connections, mystery, and more.
The characters were really well-developed individuals who continued to develop and grow over the course of the story. They were interesting and likeable, and their dynamics were fun and really added an extra element of interest to the whole story.
If you aren’t familiar with poly relationships, and not sure if that is something you would be interested in, don’t let that element put you off reading this really great story. If you go into it with an open mind you will be surprised by what you find, and there is so much more to the story than the ‘poly’ and erotic elements. There is definitely depth and substance here.
This is really well written story, and again, Ms. Alexander has produced an enticing, entertaining and poly-positive story that drew me in right from the beginning. Another great read from this talented author!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Phoebe Alexander!

When she was stricken with an illness that changed her life path, she turned to writing as a form of self-expression and therapy.

 

Robin is a member of the Long Island Romance Writers, and her leadership training in the first responder community has served her well in her previous roles as Secretary and President for LIRW and her current role as Vice President of Communications.

 

She is the creator of the best-selling Chase Security Series and Chase Care Series. She is also author of Blood Obsession, a crime thriller series and The Cure, a spine tingling thriller. Her books are enjoyed by readers all over the world. A new series is coming in 2024.

 

As far as the future goes, she continues to live a life worth living as there is no expiration date written on the bottom of her foot. She continues to use her professional background, medical contacts, law enforcement contacts, and military contacts to write many more romantic suspense novels in the future.

When bloodthirsty monsters raid the birthplace of the first archangel, the High King of Coserai calls for a crusade to defend the holy land. Basil, a sheltered healing mage’s apprentice, marches with the crusade to accomplish his Low King’s hidden agenda: to travel to an oracle and gather insight into the fate of the realm. Along his journey, Basil faces threats from demons and criminals, paid to assassinate crusade members. Though Basil’s master attempts to spare him from unnecessary suffering, Basil’s desire for adventure lands him in danger as he begins to unravel the truth of his divine destiny.

  1. M. Hogenson graduated from the University of Maryland and worked as an engineer and then a supervisor afterwards. It is their dream to be able to become a full-time writer so they can justify extensively long trips to the library and consider it “work.” In their free time, they compulsively listen to audiobooks while working odd projects such as bookbinding, house renovating, interior decorating, gardening, painting, sewing, knitting, mug making, and pretty much any other hobby available at local craft stores.
