A really neat story that teaches about the responsibility that comes with taking care of dogs. I like how the author sets her story up and the kids are telling their parents what they learned in their research. The pictures are attention-grabbing. My grandson wants a dog so we have really enjoyed reading this series to him, especially this one. A really neat story that teaches about the responsibility that comes with taking care of dogs.

Mistaken Identity (London Detective Agency Book 1)Mistaken Identity by Stephanie R. Caffrey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fast-paced suspense book. Right off the bat, I was sucked right in. The two girls bounced off each other and there our mystery starts. There’s lots of action, intrigue, mystery and a little bit of romance. I loved how spunky and feisty she is. This is a really great novel for a debut. She’s new to me and I can’t wait to read book 2. Fantastic writing that keeps you engaged the whole way through. The characters felt totally relatable. Father and son interactions, who hasn’t been there. I’ll be eagerly awaiting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing series. Let start off by saying that I am a sucker for box sets. I love being able to go from book to book without a break or even having to search for them. This story has an amazingly well described setting that you can visualize yourself there. That is just the tip of the iceberg. The characters in this series makes you want to be their friends and to hang out with them on weekends. You will find yourself absorbed into their relationship with each other and the other characters. I even found myself trying to figure to who out of my friends is like the characters in the book. The love stories in each book are endearing in their own unique ways. Each book revolves around different couples but the characters are intertwined that you feel as if you’re reading one incredibly long book. This was a quick read even though it was multiple books. I found myself being drawn from one couple to next while seeing snipers of the other characters. I highly suggest reading this series if you love romance, amazing couples, wonderful meet cutes, and incredibly deep connections. I will find myself back in this series to enjoy these characters in the future because it is just that good, that re-reading it is must.

This book was a really fun exhilarating read for me. I did not have a chance to read books one and two, however, this book did not cause me to read the other books to understand the storyline. Learning about Finlay and her role in this story as an investigator, while she worked with law enforcement was eye opening. The setting in Paris of human trafficking felt so real as the author depicts each scene, filling me with suspense for the next moment. One of the best things about a mystery is the amount of suspense in each moment or scene. This book had me on the edge of my toes and quickly sparked a vivid imagination for every scene in this Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott – Review by book. I really enjoyed reading it and I enjoy the authors writing style.

This is another great installment in the Porter and Midge series about teaching kids the responsibilities of pet ownership. While Porter and Midge are dogs, the lessons learned in the book can be applied to any pet looking to be adopted. I love the way Chen and Nevada use rhythm and rhyme to get the kids involved as well as teaching them very important lessons about not only pet ownership, but also communication with parents and respect between parents and children. There is so much to learn from this story. Definitely pick this one up to add it to your growing Porter and Midge collection.

Cover Designer – The Book Brander – Sylvia Frost
Ten years ago, I met the man of my dreams. A stupidly gorgeous and wildly talented venture capitalist named Dallas Evener. I was the fiery yin to his dominant yang. He set my entrepreneurial heart aflame. Our destiny was clear as day … and then he had to go and ruin it.
I swore never to do business with him.
A decade later, I’m eating my words.
A scandal rocks my startup passion project and I’m left in a lurch when the lead investor backs out. My only hope for money? Dallas. But that means I play by his rules. And the whispers around town imply he funds his projects with dirty money.
Is that why we fly to Argentina to close the deal with a mysterious financier? Dallas promises this is a no-brainer, although nothing comes risk-free. I’ll take a chance with my company. The question is, do I put my heart on the line again when our simmering chemistry reignites? Because there is more to this transaction than meets the eye. And everything I thought I knew about Dallas and love tangles into a compromising position neither of us expects.

My goals are simple. To make the world a better place one love story at a time!

 

Q: What can you expect from my books?

A:  Where heat meets heart!

 

Every writer sprinkles their brand of DNA magic into stories and my ingredients are glamorous destinations, brilliant, sexy minds, and juicy plots with just the right amount of spice stirred in to kick things up a notch.

 

I also love messy characters. Ones who struggle, but never give up. My women are strong-willed and successful, but never infallible when it comes to matters of the heart. My men are maddeningly imperfect and sexy AF.

 

If you like all of the above, it might be love at first page read!

 

The Hustlers is my first series, an interconnected trilogy that can be read as stand-alone. You’ll meet three alluring BFF’s navigating dreams, desires, and all the beautiful complications of falling in love.

 

Set against the backdrop of sultry jet-set lifestyles, if you crave vivid characters, adventurous plots and sensual moments, these mid-steam romps are the perfect escape!

Since I can remember, I have been a reader, often having several books going at the same time. If anyone was my teacher, it was the wonderful authors who shared their hearts and souls with me through their stories. My first story was published in 1999. Today I work on stories that talk about the amazing power that children have and the mark they can make on the world. I hope to inspire children to feel their truth and know that they can make a difference.

My yoga partner and I created this Lesson Plans for Teachers” series to help parents, teachers, and homeschool facilitators encourage children of all ages to realize their potential as creative and productive members of our global world.

It is my mission to bring the benefits of yoga to people of all ages. I believe there is a form of yoga for everybody on the planet. Working as a graphic designer for the ” Yoga for Kids- Move, Breathe & Make Life a Breeze” series, I’ve had an opportunity to bring two loves of my life together – yoga and designing!

The Changed Man Audio Book (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Toni Sellers

The Changed Man Book 4 in The Olympic Peninsula series.
Well, I was so excited to see that there was a book four and hope for more. I have loved each and every book in this series and yes, I do think you could read this as a standalone, but why? You will love them all. I have enjoyed the details that the author has put into this book as for the fact that I LIVE in Port Townsend and have for my whole life, so these seem to have a special connection for me. Very well written contemporary romance and all the characters are in some way intertwined, another reason you should read them all. The characters are interesting and fun to get to know them all. The family dynamics can be very relatable. Lots of emotion, drama, love, family, angst, and friends all fast paced enough to keep you engaged and wanting more.
I can’t recommend this book and the others in this series enough.

I went on quite the adventure while reading this book. So much happens with Finley and Drake.

Finley is a bad girl but in the best way. She will do what ever is necessary to help those that she cares about which is how she ended up in Paris and the mess she found herself in.

Drake is sent to get Finley home safe and sound, he has no clue how messed up of a situation she is in the middle of.

The twist at the end was so good it made me gasp out loud and may have startled my husband.

I really hope Seb is next and I know the perfect woman for him.

As with the others this book has very colorful illustrations, full of fun, adventure all good for the imagination with some nice little lessons also.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well Shadowed Deception is definitely an adventure. But not the fun type of adventure. The author brings us another challenge. Yet a budding attraction between two characters.
Finley is on assignment. Deep undercover at a nightclub trying to get as much information as possible. She knows about the trafficking but doesn’t know the details on where/how the women come in or are sold. She’s determined to find her friend’s sister as well as bring the ring down completely. Unfortunately it’s making her feel guilty for the innocents that will lose their jobs.
Drake dislikes journalists. Yet he’s in Paris chasing after the one journalist in his life that’s chasing a story. Finley is a piece of work, but she’s in so deep he has no choice but to get help from his team. as they gather information it’s becoming more apparent that Finley needs to stop because she’s going to end up in serious trouble. It also doesn’t help his growing feelings for her.
What will they do?
Do they succeed?
What connection does Finley’s father have to all this?
The author keeps the reader on a crazy ride. Keeps you turning the page. Keeps you asking questions that you hope don’t take too long to answer. With the dark sub plots just be mindful of what you’re getting yourself into. It’s really good book so it’s definitely worth it!

Shadowed Deception is the 3rd book in the Shadow Defense Security series, but the first I read. It was enjoyed without background knowledge but I could sense Drake and Finlay had a bit of a past that played into their behavior and attitude toward each other. The author did a good job providing enough information so I wasn’t frustrated or felt like I was missing anything.
The book has a good balance, being mostly mystery and investigative work, and a handful of romance scenes. I felt like there was quite a bit of a hanging to the ending. While it wrapped up the feelings between Drake and Finlay, the whole case they are investigating is still open and wasn’t all resolved. I hope it continues in another book, because if this is how the author planned to end things, I’m not thrilled.

She’s on a journey of self discovery, wrapped in love and mystery and danger and I can’t wait to see how it is all going to end. Obviously it is a RH romance so she won’t have to choose but Caleb is definitely my favorite. I can’t wait to see their relationship grow and can not wait to learn more about this interesting new world.

Sugar and Spice is the first book I’ve read by Phoebe Alexander and I cannot wait to read more! Sugar and Spice is the first book in the Spicetopia series and it was a great way to start. The characters are fabulously flawed and realistic. The growth of the two main characters, Jolie and Cy, is refreshing in a spicy romance. There is drama, romance, connection, and just the right amount of spice. It makes you think twice about what happens behind the scenes at family-friendly parks! While the majority of the story takes place within the park limits of Sweetopia, I felt the world building was spot on! I could see the distinct difference between the regular employee areas and the opulence of the management areas. Overall, this book exceeded my expectations and the ending made me anxious for the next in the series!

Jinx had a crush on Logan for as long as she can remember and as she grew older it turned into more than a crush. It’s been a few years since Jinx and Logan have seen each other, then they see each other at a wedding. Logan has always had feelings for Jinx but could never act on it because of his relationship with her brother. Will they be able to get over the past so they can act on their feelings? This story has romance, drama, twists and turns, great characters and more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.
