Fearless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, Book 5) by KG Fletcher – Review by Heidi Sturgess

Fearless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #5)Fearless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the Bennett family and I love visiting them in Langston Falls ! I know I’m not allowed to have favourites but if I were to have a favourite it would have to be James ❣️🤷‍♀️🤣🙈😉

Loving the dedication to author’s dad , really special bond and love shared , much like Roy in the Bennett family 🤗

Ok so the patriarch of the Bennett family , Roy had a heart attack that shocked the family and now he’s on the way home to recover and they’re in need of a nurse and that’s how Sara , our travelling nurse comes into their lives …..

Sara and Noah are the nicest peeps and Noah is such a sweet kid and she’s raised him by herself but he’s coming to an age where he wants to settle and have roots like a normal kid would and I’m soooooo grateful it’s Langston Falls anyhoo their first friends are Tinkerbelle ( cutest little fur princess) and Crystal that runs the motel they’re staying at temporarily…,

James was ready to propose to Sam and then she ups and leaves !? Like girl I get it but I don’t get it 🤷‍♀️ so James is licking his wounds and is a little jaded but it won’t last long because between Sara and Noah all resistance will crumble 😉

Sara is running from something and I love the way James encourages her to face up to her past and he doesn’t run from her or the situation , this man is a real honey❣️

There’s so much to love about this book and I could carry on forever telling you about it and what these people mean to me but if I do that I’ll be taking away your opportunity to get involved with them ❣️📚😉 go ahead and join them 🥰

The Complete Echo Series: A Heartfelt Romance Collection (The Echo Series) by C.R. Alam – Review by Heidi Sturgess

The Complete Echo Series (Echo #1-4)The Complete Echo Series by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These were the people to “hang “ with fictional friends that become fictional family ❣️

1 ECHOING HEARTS

Rae does her friend a favour and does an interview with a home designer , thing is when she gets there said home owner is there and he’s not very welcoming to say the least but for the sake of his sister Kay he “tolerates” his house guest for the weekend and it pays off well for Kay and him in the long run …, the very long and beautiful run …😉

Dean is a delicious and delectable speciMAN but a little jaded after being left at the altar and he’s met his match with Rae though and she gives as good as she gets and the 2 of them had me in stitches in the beginning with their banter …

Rae didn’t have the best childhood and after her mum dies her grandparents raised her so after they passed on she essentially had no family so her friends are her family and she’s especially close to Brandon and has even travelled with him and his band I really felt I could identify with Rae on a few things like the loss of her mother and her thoughts on friends being family and the fact that a man and a woman can be friends without romantic attachments ….

Dean and Rae are good together and Rae has a big heart , Dean needs to sort his “demons” Pune gore he looses the best thing that came into his life and he can thank his lucky stars for a friend like Chris and Brandon that’s so gracious and becomes a friend …..

The people working for Dean may be old but they’re wise and I just love his driver and wanted to hug him he’s a real sweetheart 🥰 all in all he had a loving tribe and his family is warm and loving and they adore Rae and they’re just what she needs ❣️I fell in love with Rae and Dean and yes I wanted to shake him a little but he does come to his sense and they have their HEA but I want to see Brandon get his HEA…… looking for to His Forever Muse

2 HIS FOREVER MUSE

My nerves are shattered as Calliope is escaping her prison , my heart aches for her but at the same time it soars because she is so brave and determined ! The man she was involved with was a monster but he is also a man that comes from a very powerful family , this isn’t going to be an easy battle for her ……

So we catch up with Rae who is being rushed to hospital to have her baby and her bestie Brandon is on hand to get her to the hospital , her husband Dean is on his way to meet them and again I feel my heart beating faster because the precious bundle is coming to early but she’s in good hands ….

Brandon is not only a talented musician it a gifted artist and he’s already had his first exhibition which was rather successful and after a crazy work tour he takes a breather and starts touring and it’s in Morocco where he meets up with his “ muse” his forever love , his best friend and band members sister Calliope aka Callie and as youngsters they were tight and feelings were there but never talked about it acted on , their paths parted but what a beautiful reunion in Morocco and then Paris , hand on my heart ❣️

Brandon and Callie are just poetry in motion and there were moments we here my heart stopped with fear thanks to man that won’t be mentioned ( he deserves no airtime) but it also soared because of Popo with her delicious meals and warm heart , you just want to sit around her table , hug her , eat her food and talk your heart out with her . Then there’s Callies tribe , her Amazonian warriors ❣️Genevieve, Anais and Madeleine that protects her so fiercely but love just as hard and let’s not forget the precious little Eleanor aka Ella ❣️all these people just climbed into my heart and made me part of their family !

Loved
Every
Minute
Reading

❣️📚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. UNEXPECTED ENTANGLEMENT

Again I just got lost in the cover art ❣️love the dedication ❣️📚

So now we’re all friends or rather family it really felt good to be amongst my people again 🫶🏼 knowing Rae and her history I was curious to hear how the other family lived…

I can only imagine the shock Rowan must’ve had first of loosing her father and then his dying words and wish 🥲so Rae can’t meet up with her family but Chris goes on her behalf and he has alterior motives and none are sinister but the man has his own issues and he’s protective of his friend , bless his heart …..

So Chris and Rowan didn’t get off to a good start but soon enough they’re working as a team to arrange the wedding , promote the inn , get the community on board oh and find out who is trying to sabotage them around every corner …. I know such excitement !

Kieran is a good soul and a protective brother but his heart is in the right place and I just fell in love with his nature 😉

Alit of people saw Chris as a threat which in turn put Rowan in a difficult position so out of pure desperation she makes a rash decision that puts both her in Chris in the limelight but man what sun it was to watch these two , they’re so different yet so similar , a perfect match I must say 🥰😉

Gibbs worked on my last nerve but again you can’t fault the old guy , his heart is in right place he’s just not always good at showing it and more often than not comes across as a real gruff and grumpy old man , please be patient with him and his show him love , I know these people have become part of me so I just want others to love them like I do 😘

This is a story of love , redemption, regret, forgiveness, remorse , hope and so much more but it’s also laced with anger , jealousy and vengeance.
I was kept on my toes , I laughed , cried , held my breath and cheered friends on and I’ve a new found respect for cats 🐾🤣, just saying !

4. DANGEROUS RHYTHM

Having read the previous 3 books I knew I was in for a treat but this one was like a good red wine it only gets better with time 😉❣️📚

Loving the cover art and it really captures the characters natures , Cutis looks nerdy and with his rockstar persona you’d expect a certain arrogance but I tell you what , just watch him with kids and your knees will turn to jelly and the cover captures that perfect and as for Lina is captures her seriousness 😉so yes in this instance you can judge a book by its cover ❣️📚😉

So Curtis and his band are on your and Lina Is part of the protection detail , things get little more than tense when they’re witness to a lethal stabbing and now the mafia is after him and Lina is now full on protector and the hunt is on , the hunt for blood and the hunt for love , I know it sounds weird but read it and you’ll see where I’m coming from
🥰😉

Lina is very serious and Curtis is a lot more laid back and they bring out the best in each other I think , like yin and Yang ☯️ and I loved watching them find each other in between the twists , suspense and tension of their quest to stay safe . I enjoyed going with them to so many different places and sampling different cuisine 😉🤣it really was just a brilliant read from start to finish !

Managing Mischief (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Maikalani alexander

Managing Mischief (Shattered Embrace #2)Managing Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I know it says it can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the first because there are bits of information that has which can answer some questions that are likely to come up. Just like this answered some I had for the first book

This second is essentially a retelling but in the male perspective. It provides more depth for how they arrived to their “destination” lol.
The BDSM kinks are accurate for the most part and easily relatable to. However it again plateaued for me and I felt the plot hit a stand still. The conversation became repetitive and after a while a bit dull and doomed.
It’s a good read to pass the time a quick series with a surface level intrigue.

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace #1)Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was genuinely excited to dive in the characters were spicy. And it had everything you’d want a alphadominated field that’s boss is rendered speechless when his little brothers best friend barrels in loud and in charge. However that’s not her own personality. Who she is behind closed doors is everything he’s wanted. Everything’s he’s craved and needed. And now’s his opportunity to snare her Especially considering she’s now applied to become a member to he and his brothers BDSM club.

This book is extremely promising a hot and heavy read that can tide you over when you want something fast.

The conversation does get a bit repetitive and The waters get a bit murky when it seems the two MC’s have conflict. But that quickly goes away within a few pages.

Personally could’ve been a killing swoon worthy book it just got lost in the mix with the repetition, and plateaued plot

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

 

Porter and Midge: Paws and Responsibilities: A Kid’s Guide to Welcoming a New Dog (Porter and Midge Series) by Jennie Chen & Giselle Nevada is a great addition to this cute series. It is a perfect read for any child/family looking at welcoming a furry friend into their lives.
The illustrations that accompany the story really help to reinforce the ‘lessons’ in the book. They are cute, interesting, and colourful which helps to keep the focus on the story and educational components which help to teach children/families about the responsibilities of being a pet owner/guardian. These are important lessons to learn and know, because a pet comes with a lot of responsibility, and this helps to guide the reader in knowing what those responsibilities are. There is more to being a dog owner than merely supplying food and shelter. This covers everything from puppy care, to grooming, regular vet visits, training, socialization, and choosing the right dog breed to suit your family.
As with the other books in the series, this is a fun, quick, and easy read that has also has a great rhyming rhythm, a bit of a lyrical feel, that will help readers to connect with the messages.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Jennie Chen & Giselle Nevada!

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series) by Alicia Street

Make Me Burn is the ninth book in the North Fork Series and is a Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you’ve finished. What a wonderfully written second chance romance/best friends sister romance. The characters definitely have some sizzling chemistry between them. They’ve both wanted one another for long time but now that she’s older and he’s no longer best friends with her brother all bets are off. I highly recommend reading this sizzling hot story to find out if they get their HEA? I look forward to reading more from this Author.

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Santana Hicks

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Delilah is a demon who lives in the city and owns a bar. She also is a killer but a killer with morals. She hunts bad people. Even demons need a break sometime. To get away from it all, Delilah goes to the small town of Juniper lake and rents a cabin. She longs for a mundane vacation.

Unfortunately, life has other plans. After a couple nights of feeling the tug of a summoning spell, Delilah decides to find out who keeps trying to summon her and unexpectedly gets bound to a trio of witches. Her vacation quickly gets turned to work when she is given a list of tasks to do. It also doesn’t help that Delilah seems to be drawn to the towns sheriff, Malakahi. No way could their relationship work… right?

Delilah has to try to break the bonds if she wants to go back to her vacation time but it may be harder than it looks. Especially when Malakahi seems to be everywhere.

I loved the premise of a demon wanting to settle down, it gives them a bit of humanity. Delilah may be a demon but she still seemed like a caring and sassy sweetheart. I really enjoyed her character.

Naomi Valkyrie is such an amazing writer. I literally have added most of their books to my to be read list. They have such a unique and vivid way of writing. It’s never a dull moment no matter which of their books you read. Can’t wait to read the second book of this series!

Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires is a collection of short stories.

Calling them stories I think is a stretch, I like smut as much as the next person but these stories have no plot and rush to the spice.
In at least one of them I would have like to see character development or happy ever after.
The writing in regards to body parts also didn’t sit well with me! The way in which things were described was just off-putting.

‘Make me burn’ by Alicia Street lives up to its title. This novel is the sizzling story of Jinx and Logan. They reconnect by chance and the teenage attraction that was “forbidden” by Victor Jinx’s elder brother explodes onto the pages. Lots of very hot sex scenes…Logan and Victor resolve their differences and love wins in the end.

This is book nine in the ‘North Fork’ series and I read it as a stand alone novel. It does contain references to the previous couples from the previous novels in the series but no real spoilers other than names.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story pulled me in immediately and kept me interested through the entire (very quick) read. The chemistry between Jinx and Logan leapt off of the page and sizzled through the whole read.

Logan met Vic, Jinx’ older brother when they were in college and they became fast best friends. In light of how awful and unsupportive his home life and family was, Victor brought Logan home over the first college break and he was immediately welcomed into their fray. Victors parents considered him another son, Natalie another brother, but Jinx, the baby and black sheep of the family – she immediately fell in love. At several years younger than her siblings, she was always left behind by them and not quite understood, with her sensitive artists brain. But Logan understood. He told her and kept her secrets, inspired her motivation and talents, and let her be her whole self. They even had plans to attend college in the same city and visit the attractions as she grew older!

However, in the midst of grad school, Logan up and disappeared. He changed his number, deleted his email and left town without speaking to anyone except Victor and the story Victor told was that Logan deceived him and destroyed his trust. The family chose to believe Victor and accept the absence of Logan from their lives. Jinx, however, has spent the past 8 years measuring men against Logan and has been sorely disappointed.

When they run into one another at a wedding reception, they manage to avoid much catching up, but Logan finds her the next day and manages to send some business her way. After he makes her an offer of a night together to get each other out of their systems, they realize that getting out of each others systems wasn’t really something they could do. Will Jinx be able to get to the bottom of the rift between Victor and Logan? Will Logan be willing to take the risk of the threat from Victor to be with the woman who really sets his blood on fire? Will they ever be able to find their great love?

I had read some of these books previously and thoroughly enjoyed them so jumped at the chance to read all of them in one collection. I loved each and every one of these books and all of them for different reasons. There were some common themes across all of them though – great writing, fantastic characters and brilliant storylines.
This author is one I have only become recently familiar with but I am enjoying what I have read so far. Although this is a collection of books, I read through them all so quickly because I couldn’t put them down. I wanted to see how things would play out and I went from one book to the next with ease. This is a brilliant collection and I enjoyed it from start to finish.

This is a lovely book that would be great to read with children who have been asking for a dog to join their family. It gives lots of talking points for parents/carers to talk through about all the different ways you have to care for a new dog and or puppy.
The story is a delightful rhyming tale that will certainly capture children interest as they learn along with Lora and CJ everything they need to know about welcoming a dog into their family.
A sweet read!

Echoing Hearts
This was such a beautifully written story, I really did enjoy it. The characters were well written and were likeable. Dean and Rae were both great characters to read about, their first encounter actually made me chuckle – Dean was not impressed but there was so clearly an instant attraction between them. They both had past issues that was preventing them both from even contemplating a relationship but I was desperately rooting for them both the whole way through the book. I think Rae was definitely my favourite character, she had such a wonderful personality and was so full of confidence and independence – I just loved her!

His Forever Muse
This was such a wonderful story. I fell in love with the characters pretty much straight away. The way the author write from in both the past and present made me feel like a really did know that characters and the journey of their relationship. I think it was pretty clear from the moment that they reunited that there was this amazing chemistry and connection. The author did really with the handling of some of the sensitive topics in the story. She wrote them well and there is a trigger warning from her.
Brandon was a really lovely character and I loved how protective he was of Callie.
Callie is one of those characters who you just instantly take to, she has overcome so much in her past, she had such strength and resilience and I could tell how much she wanted Brandon but was really struggling to let go and move on with her life.

Dangerous Rhythm
Yes!! I loved this story so, so much! I loved the characters, the plot, everything really! Curtis was exactly as I wanted to be, however with what he witnessed we begin to see a little bit of vulnerability creep in. How amazing was Lina! She is my favourite character! She’s fierce, independent and just an all-round amazing woman!! The connection that these two had was great and I loved the chemistry between the two of them.
With a few twists and turns in the story along with amazing characters this story kept me engaged from beginning to end and I would 100% recommend it!

I loved the characters Cy and Jolie – I loved the undercover they didn’t know who each other was and in my opinion that gave them the perfect chance to get to know each other properly! They had such chemistry and it certainly made those pages sizzle at times! Jolie was such an amazing character, I really did love her and everything she did for and everything she did for her family, she was such a relatable character and I really took her into my heart and I 100% came to love Cy in the end!

I really enjoyed this! I like how the author makes a connection between yoga and plants. Very cool! I loved reading the lesson plans. The author puts ideas for different ages and details everything very well. I could easily picture it all in my head. This shows how to have a 6 week class for kids.

There are great affermations and breathing techniques throughout. Plus games and songs! I am enjoying this as its is giving me all kinds of ideas to do with the grandkids.

My only issue is that I wish they had included pictures of all the different yoga poses they suggest. Some are self explanatory (like the frog) but others like mountain, fish, star and windmill are unknown to me. I have only done a few yoga poses do I will have to look them up.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I started reading it but I absolutely fell in love with the concept and I couldn’t wait to see how each of the sea creatures was going to work with the mermaid concept. This was truly such an innovative idea to not only encourage kids to use their imaginations but to also learn about the amazing sea creatures inhabiting our oceans. The illustrations are absolutely phenomenal and they are so bright and enthralling. If you’ve got a kiddo who loves mermaids, sea creatures, or both you need to get this book RIGHT NOW!

However, I did appreciate the educational aspect of the book, as it includes interesting facts about various sea creatures and different types of mermaids. It’s a great way to introduce children to marine life and spark their curiosity about the ocean.

Overall, Mermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn is a cute and visually appealing book that may be more enjoyable for younger readers who are fascinated by mermaids and sea creatures.

This was a really great book and I loved every minute of it. I do love an enemies to lovers romance and whilst the characters weren’t technically enemies there was a lot of history between them and an ex best friend thrown in. I loved the characters Logan and Jinx, they did seem to have this genuine connection and I have to admit when I first picked up the book I thought I had got the whole story and characters planned in my head but I was wrong. Logan, yes was you head strong business man but he also had a respectful side to him which I really liked. I really liked Jinx too, she was so down to earth and genuine but she was also a smart business woman with her head screwed on!
Overall a really good read and one that I would highly recommend.

First off, this is my first time reading this author. She is very talented. Her world-building is amazing. Her character development is amazing.
This is the 3rd book in a series. It can be read as a standalone, but I feel like I may have gleaned a bit more information about the characters, having read the previous 2 books.
With that being said, this book was still easy enough to read as a stand alone. I enjoyed the suspense, and the stolen glances between the seriousness. I could see this play out like a made for TV movie in my head… It was awesome. I can’t wait to read the previous 2 books. Highly recommend.

Give Us Bad Boys & Billionaires by L.M. Mountford. This is such a good collection of sexy stories. One of my favorite stories was “Falling for my Son’s best friend”. Its the story of Elizabeth who is going thru empty nest syndrome with her son moving away to college. She ends up going to visit her best friend and she is out of town. The only person there is her best friend’s son Hugh. Is she seriously considering a relationship with her best friend’s son? Such a fun read. The next one I really enjoyed was “Under my BFF”S daddy. Its the story of Cassandra who is getting over a rough break up so she decides to go on a trip with her BFF. Her BFF’s dad happens to be there and Cassandra has always had a secret crush on him. Will they cross that bridge that they can’t go back from? “Her Dark Savior” is my other favorite. In this story Kate is hunting down whoever killed her brother and she is out for blood. She ends up making some dangerous people mad and is in danger. Out of nowhere a dark handsome stranger come in and saves her and she needs to pay him for that rescue doesn’t she? Such a fun collection of erotic romances.

I just love all of these books! There are a few to this series and I have read a few so far. If you are even thinking about getting your child a puppy/dog/pet you should definitely read this book with your child! These books teach you so much about the needs of the dog, the responsibilities with having a dog, and everything in between. Which of course you can use as a lesson with any animal you get. In this book you follow CJ and Lora on their quest to learn everything they can about dogs. What they need (food, water, training, vet visits, grooming, personal space, exercise, patience, etc.). They also learned about different breeds (small, medium, big, some that need more space to run, some that are small and need more attention, etc. etc. etc.). After learning as much as they can they go to their parents to ask for a dog and tell them everything they have learned and what they must do to have a dog. The parents believe they are ready and you get to meet Porter, who is a Mastiff and Midge, who is a Greater Swiss Mountain dog. Both different and both have different needs. If you read some of the other books in this set you will get to see them more and learn all about them, other dogs, and all their needs. This is a wonderful set for kids. They will learn all kinds of things! Adults could even learn from this book! I did and I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life!!

No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Laura Quinn

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book of the Life is Hell Series.
What a ride! This book is a short, fast-paced that has a bunch of characters that you learn about in a short amount of time. The author takes each character and goes in depth so you get a
good feel for each of them.

Give Us Bad Boys & Billionaires by L.M. Mountford – Review by Barbara Bohls

Give Us Bad Boys and BillionairesGive Us Bad Boys and Billionaires by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is quite the surprise. I was not expecting the level of steam from this book so quickly and the short stories are amazing. They have a plot, great characters, steam, and are just enough to get you hooked. I flew through these pages so quickly that I was left a book hangover. I found myself so emerged into the stories that I didn’t even move for an hour. The steam that is on these pages did make me blush a time or two because, wow, is all I can say. One of the best things about this book is that there is something for everyone with these short stories. You could read a story a night and feel accomplished or you could read the whole thing in a couple days. (I did that) I really liked the writing style of the author and found that each story contained everything you would want in a full size novel. There wasn’t a lot of fluff that can sometimes happen and the scenes didn’t feel to drag on. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and can’t wait to read more from the author.
