Stop That Lion: A Tale of Friendship Love and Peace (Kingdom of Mir)Stop That Lion: A Tale of Friendship Love and Peace by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stop That Lion is a good story for little kids. I read it with my 8 year old, and he enjoyed it, but i would say his age is the limit. My favorite was when I read the last page and looked over at him, and he was smiling and said she’s smart! The book is a take on the Lion and the Lamb story. There are two kingdoms side by side. One kingdom has sheep and the other has a lion. The lion keeps crossing over, and eating the sheep. The king asks for solutions to the problem, with the stipulation the solution must be fair. Several people fail, and then Winnie approaches the king with her solution. Initially, she is disregarded because she is a little girl, but she presents her case, and the king allows her to try. This teaches us that you sometimes need to rely on others when you’re in need, and should listen to all, without judgment. The illustrations are bright and colorful and aided the story along.

Murder on West Main: A South Shore MysteryMurder on West Main: A South Shore Mystery by I.M. Foster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder on West Main is the second instalment in the historical South Shore Mystery series set in the early 1900’s. IM as usual does a good job of incorporating the history of the time into the story.
What started out as a normal day turned out to be anything but!
We once again find ourselves embroiled in this cosy mystery along with coroner’s physician, Daniel in a murder investigation where the victim is an evil and horrid person. Things hot up when he tries to piece it all together to save an innocent man or is he?
Kathleen decides to insert herself smack dang in the middle of everything even when the consequences could be fatal. The story definitely keeps you on your toes as you navigate through the clues. Even though I pieced it together before the big reveal I still really enjoyed this tale.
Murder on West Main is well written, intriguing, and full of suspense. There is a few twisty turns, mystery, danger, murder, mayhem, angst, and drama. All of that makes for an engaging read and have you immersed in the story and the pages turning.
If you like cosy mysteries, then give Murder on West Main a go.

War in Sorcery's Shadow (Ruarnon Trilogy #3)War in Sorcery’s Shadow by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
The adventure continues in War in Sorcery’s Shadow the third book and last book of this Epic YA fantasy trilogy. I definitely recommend you start with the previous books starting with the first book Manipulator’s War, so you get to know the characters and the world that they live in.
It is an all-inclusive LGBTQ+ action-adventure story with an MC’s who is asexual and nonbinary.
Everything is culminating toward the final war as Ruarnon, Linh and friends race against time to bring word to the people who have been lied to. Armed with understanding, knowledge, fear and hope they can defeat a mad man who wants to annihilate them all.
As with the other two books there is murder and mayhem, myths and lore, assassins and magic, drama and sorcerers and more.
If you love Epic YA fantasy tales, then give this trilogy a go.

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is about an important topic- our military veterans, and some of the issues they deal with. The attention to medical detail by the authors is wonderful. It is informative enough without being too heavy on the medical jargon. The characters in this book navigate through some of life’s difficulties with the help of therapy and supportive relationships. Some secrets are kept, and others are revealed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secrets everywhere! Double lives. Different paths collide.
I have read several of Christi’s books now and have enjoyed each one. It seems I have once again come in from the end. I discovered that this is the last book in the Swan Cover trilogy which means I need to go back and read the other books. I must say though that I did not feel as though I was missing out on anything so this can be read as a stand-alone.
Will You Pretend Marry Me by Christi Barth is a contemporary romance that has several tropes with an enemies to lovers and fake boyfriend story. This makes for a fun and romantic read. There is witty banter that will have you laughing along with some tension, angst, drama, insecurities, emotions, chemistry and humour.
Need a book to curl up and spend some Me time then give this book ago. You won’t be disappointed.
There are a cast of many interesting characters in this entertaining tale that would seem to be more of a delightful Rom Com.
This unconventional duo are opposites in a lot of ways, but they say that opposites attract but are they really that different underneath it all. To find out you will have to read it for yourself.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more.

This is such a clever and well written book about fairies. From the moment you start reading it draws you into the story. My daughter in particular loved this story. She thought it was entertaining and she easily connected with it. As always, this author has done a brilliant job of weaving in educational topics without it seeming like she is trying to teach kids anything. It is always done with such ease.
This book has to be the one that has my favourite illustrations so far. I thought they were perfect and matched the story perfectly. Both kids engaged with them and I think it made them love the story even more. This is a brilliant story and is one that will be read again and again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder on West Main by I.M. Foster is a well written mystery that will keep you entertained from the first page until the last page! This is my first book by this author, and I was not one bit disappointed!! This mystery is set during the summertime when a young man named Colin finds himself part of a murder mystery and unfortunately for him…. all fingers are pointing to him as being the main suspect. Lucky for Colin, his sister Kathleen doesn’t think that her brother could be a murderer and she is set to find out who the true suspect is. We are also introduced to Daniel, the town’s coroner and from Daniel’s findings after inspecting the body in question, he doesn’t think Colin is the murderer either. Now Daniel is on a mission to find who could have done such a thing, but he’s having a hard time finding a murderer because as it turns out, our deceased gentleman wasn’t a very liked person in town. Kathleen and Daniel have their work cut out for them to figure out who could have done such a thing! I.M. Foster has a great way of telling the story with great detail! I felt like I was in the story trying to figure out the murder mystery with Kathleen and Daniel! It was very hard for me to put down this page turner once I started reading it! I hope that you will pick up a copy and find out for yourself if the mystery is solved or if Colin continues to be blamed for the murder! I look forward to reading more books by I.M. Foster!

As most of Wickstrom’s story’s do…this one too has a moral to the story. Stega has to try a find a gift to bring to Benny’s party, but she eats every gift she finds along the way and eventually has to poop by the time she gets to his house and she can’t hold it anymore. So she poops right outside his house…but since she’s half unicorn it’s not like any other poop…it’s a rainbow! This is a funny and cute story for your littles that will have them laughing and begging for you to read it over and over again. This illustrations are fantastic and follow the story. Another great addition to your ever-growing Wickstrom collection.

Charlotte's Control (The Control Series)Charlotte’s Control by Maggie Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a historical romance with a twist a very steamy twist which I really enjoyed. The author does an incredible job of transporting the reader back to that time period with old fashioned values with a modern twist. In this story you will find romance, a reverse age gap, sizzling chemistry and a little BDSM elements.
Charlotte never expected to find herself a widow at the age of 30 but that is the position she finds herself in. When she re enters the social scene she catches the eye of a young guy called William.
William is heir to the Earl of Harrington. He should be looking for an young woman with whom he can produce and heir however he wants Charlotte but he has his work cut out to prove to her that nothing and no one should stand in the way of them being together.
As the story unfolds and their chemistry ignites we learn that Charlotte is more than the mild mannered Lady she appears

This was a really captivating story. I love their interactions between each other and how determined William is to make Charlotte realise she’s the one for him. Their happy ever after maybe not being easy or conventional but are they determined enough to get it?

I’m always looking to ‘shake things up’ in my reading because I have a bad habit of getting stuck in only a few genres or tropes until I read so much of them I throw myself straight into a reading slump. Maggie Sims is a new to me author and while I love Historical Fiction I haven’t delved much into Historical Romance. This sounded interesting so I gave it a try and I wasn’t disappointed. She may be a new to me author but I will continue to read her novels. Charlottes Control was a well balanced, well written, engaging novel that contained some fresh ‘tropes’ if you will, ones that aren’t populating every single popular romance novel lately. Charlotte and William had great chemistry and the spice, including a little BDSM element, was great between the two characters. I was invested. I can’t wait to pick up another novel by Maggie Sims.

This is one of the funniest romances I’ve read this year. The chemistry between these two is off the charts, even with them trying to fight the attraction. He’s not thrilled she’s there. She just wants to finish here student teaching semester. She’s not sure she wants to continue being Kia. She kind of wants to go back to being Abigail. I loved the story. I felt like the fly on the wall observing these two. Even with the mentor-mentee relationship, those comments were priceless. Watching this relationship develop was priceless. This author does excellent writing and gives us characters to love. This is a must read.

Their journey had me wanting to know what would happen next. They are connectable, relatable and brought the story to life. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout which made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced story that has so much entertaining value. This is one you don’t want to miss.

Stupid feral hogs. Biscuit and Katie were such terrific supporting characters to the story. Katie basically showed both of them that love is possible. I found myself feeling this story. It was hard not too. This author writes so that you feel like you are experiencing the story with the characters. I was in it right from the start. A heartwarming story that showed the challenges and that love is worth it. You can find happiness again. This a definite must read.

An engaging story that had me turning pages fast to the end. Will Linh and Ruarnon are hoping to unite a group of people who feel they are different from each other. But are they truly different? The question remains if they are able to pull them together before they destroy each other. You don’t want to miss what happens and if Linh and Ruarnon are able to pull them together before it’s too late? There is great growth throughout which makes the story easy to read and entertaining.

It turned out that he wanted to be friends with the other King. By giving him sheep as gifts, then it became important to keep the Lion out of his kingdom also. The problem was solved.

This is not your average historical romance and contains so many hot sex scenes that explore domination but with the female as the lead.

Charlotte is the older widow at 30 and William is just 19…. She thinks he is a rakelet and too young but her desire and his willingness to comply and call her mistress lands him tied up and mastering the art of being mastered.

I cannot wait to get my hands on more Novels in not only this series but previous ones too!

When Colin Brissedon arrives at work one summer morning to find his new boss murdered, all eyes turn to him. After all, the man had threatened to fire him just a few days before, and his colleagues are more than happy to tell the tale. Kathleen admits her brother is no angel, but she can’t believe he would sink this low. Fortunately for them, neither does Daniel O’Halleran, the village’s new coroner’s assistant. Of course, he needs more than his gut feeling to prove it.�
But that’s not going to be an easy task, considering the victim does not appear to have been held in high regard. In fact, Daniel is hard-pressed to find anyone who did like him, though there are more than a few who had reason to wish the man dead. To make matters worse, Kathleen is intent on conducting her own investigation despite his wishes, and he fears the consequences could be deadly.�
And yet, with the pieces of the puzzle laid before him, he can’t shake the feeling that something is missing, an integral clue that will tie everything else together. Will Daniel be able to find the elusive detail and discover the reason behind the gruesome murder of the prominent attorney? Or will the guilty party live to kill again?

Myth says the Guardians ended the Sorcery War by draining all sorcerers of their powers, or killing them. The Guardians then vanished without a trace – and so did magic. But the myths are wrong. Magic wielders lived on in hiding. Now Sorcerer King Nartzeer is recruiting them, in a world that hates and fears their power.��Terrorised by Nartzeer’s pre-emptive strike, Ruarnon’s Guardian-descent-claiming allies set sail to annihilate Nartzeer. Ruarnon hopes to free their family from Nartzeer’s clutches first, but Ruarnon’s uncle won’t abandon the army he commands to slavery.��Linh is killing two birds with one stone, using her role as Ruarnon’s envoy to potential allies to track down sorcerers to open her magic gateway home. She learns that Nartzeer is rallying a sorcery army while his neighbours mobilise against him, and sorcerers whose awesome power Nartzeer’s ideology undermines, the dreaded God Kings are stirring.��With sorcerers on all fronts marching towards mutually assured destruction, Linh and Ruarnon race to reach Nartzeer with the truth of magical ancestry and allegiance, hoping to unite people who are not so different before they utterly destroy each other.

Mega-pop star Kaia has a secret identity. Nobody knows she’s also ordinary Abigail Dilworth. With her latest world tour over, Abigail can finish her degree by student teaching. She’ll be incognito at a coastal Maine high school. When the semester’s over, then she’ll worry about whether to teach or continue her meteoric singing career. Except she’s off to a horrible start. There’s a meet-hate with the vice-principal (with a sexy academic look that can’t be ignored, but should be). And that’s the best thing to happen day one…
Everett Reynolds is content juggling his career as vice principal and teacher… and his secret career as an analyst for the EPA. As for a personal life? Well, he’s got his friends. Anything more leads to heartbreak – he knows that from experience. He definitely doesn’t need an entitled (and, yeah, stunning) pop princess pretending to know how to handle his students.
Abigail and Everett don’t like each other. Do they want each other? Beside the point. But circumstances lead to them needing each other. Who knew that Abigail asking him to be Kaia’s fake fiance would only be the tip of the favor iceberg? As they’re thrown together more, they learn that the difference between hate and love is razor-thin. And that secrets – including how they really feel – always come out…

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Robin Rankin

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana #1)Finders Keepers, Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finders Keepers, Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Book 1)

This is a serious slow burn romance. Lots of heat and chemistry between Ryan and Meg.

They have known each other for a long time after spending their summers together as kids and now being neighbors as adults their relationship shifts from the uptight guy and the chatty girl to friends with a common interest and that is Ryan’s grandfather Hank.

Hank is a sweet man who has a soft spot for Meg and is completely in love with her dog Colby, not that I can blame him. I think I might be in love with her too.

Ms. Campbell impressed me since I had no idea what to expect from her and this was my introduction to her. This is one of the more wholesome romance books I have read in a while and I enjoyed it. Nice refreshing change of pace, enjoyed it enough that I’m looking forward to reading the next book.
