Stop that Lion (Kingdom of Mir Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Anantha Rusum

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: 5 of 5 stars

When I was a kid, my grand mom used to tell me story about a sher, which wanted to eat a cow. But the cow said it has to tend to it’s calf and she will come back the next day. That was a story about trust. When I read this book, it reminded me of that childhood story. In this book, there is a lion which keeps crossing the border to eat the sheep. The king announces a reward to anyone who finds the solution to the problem. But when a little girl comes up with a solution, she is disregarded at first. But later the king allows her to try. This book is a reminder to everyone that we should not rush to judgement and anyone can make a difference no matter how little they are.

A wonderful story for the little ones. Loved it.

This book is truly filled with so many emotions! Jamie and Laramee are wonderful characters that you will be drawn too and you will be hoping to see them have a happy ending. I know I was hoping for it with every page I turned. They have a difficult road ahead of them though as both have things from their past to deal with and people from their past getting in the way as well. This is a wonderfully written story that I know you will enjoy.

Kris & The Missing Prince: The Adventures Of KrisKris & The Missing Prince: The Adventures Of Kris by Art Blegen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another adventure with Kris, and another story I got completely sucked into. Once again, through this author, Kris creates a fantasy world, and I get so lost in the story that I don’t realize that it is just her imagination until the end. Kris stands firm that she is not a princess just because she is a girl, girls can be knights. I love that she wants to be a knight and fight for good. I really like that Kris is so adventurous and curious. It was heartbreaking to read of her and her dad’s financial situation in the beginning, but how grateful Kris was to even be able to eat at all. They are a strong and resilient family and I enjoy the father and daughter interactions as much as I enjoy Kris’ imaginative adventures. The owl, Mr. Flattail, might have been my favorite character, I loved how the author made his speech, it gave his character so much more.

Beautiful art work, Stega is such a sweet and lovable character. I am not really sure I understand all the talk about pooping rainbows, but it looks pretty. It was nice to see Benny being accepting of his friend and her poop, even when Ada was making fun of her. Stega is so sweet when she shows up to the party but missing a present, she is so distraught.

Marshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Alison Risher

Marshmallow RabbitMarshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The two main characters are a candy shop owner and a thieving child. The title cleverly comes into play. The young thief is thwarted when a marshmallow rabbit she swipes puts her into a sticky situation. When confronted, the little thief has an attitude that reminds me of Brer Rabbit. Clever thinking gets her out of the sticky situation, but the consequences of her actions will probably sadden her.

I love a book that when I start it my first thought is “oh this is gonna be good!”. I sometimes have a hard time getting fully invested into a fantasy type storyline. But let me tell you just how quickly I fell into this book’s storyline world! I’m a reader through and through I read tons of books and this one is in my top five hands down for this year. Callum and Aeris will probably be one of my favorite sets of main characters forever. Each one brought such fun vibes to the already great storyline. Aeris immediately captured my attention right from the first chapter. I simply loved my time with these characters and this book world. It’s well paced and I truly can’t wait for more! Five of the biggest stars and I recommend you go get this story as soon as possible!

When her tour is done she focuses on finishing her teaching degree as her alter ego. Everett works at the school also and lets just say there is no love loss between these two. But are there some sparks under that fire between them? I have to say I really enjoyed this couple’s story. We get twists and turns that added a great element to the story. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author did a great job with her writing and I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

Lexie’s vacation didn’t start as expected, but it ended just as it needed to. Jake happened to be in the right place at the right time not knowing just how much his life would change.
Texas Winds is an emotional contemporary romance. It has just enough of everything… fear, drama, uncertainty, love, family, and dysfunction. The story focuses on Jake and Lexie, but every reader knows Biscuit and Katie are the real stars of the story.

There are unlimited suspects since his boss was not liked by many, which just makes it harder to find the true suspect.

An adorable tale of a girl that is a knight and not a princess. Kris is spending time with grandmother at her farm while her father is off for a work assignment. It is here she discovers a world that seems right out of one of her books within the woods. In trying to find her way out she befriends Gregory, a little terrified elf. He shares grave news with her about the missing Prince and mayor of his kingdom. Good thing Kris is a knight and can use her knight training to save these missing people and find her way home. 

This book made for a great read with my children before bed. Friendship, imagination, and characters that are relatable can all be found in this adventure. It even reminded my daughter that just because she isn’t a boy doesn’t mean she cannot be a ninja turtle!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Cheer by Heather Schneider is the second book in the Magical Emerald Hollow Series. This book focuses on Sofia, a side character in Chasing Cheer. Sofia meets a man named Isaiah who has lost his memories. Sofia is wary because she has been hurt before, and they do not start easily. Of course, this is a romance so we get to see them warm up to each other. I enjoyed their chemistry and fun dialogue. The story keeps you engaged with Isaiah’s mystery and a few twists that maybe you didn’t expect. The setting is as lovely as the first book and the narrative is emotional and authentic. This was a fun and endearing return to Emerald Hollow.

Another fun and exciting adventure with Kris. I sure wish I had an imagination that vivid and exciting. This is a fun adventure where Kris doesn’t just settle for being a little princess. She’s the knight that rescues the prince. I have to say I snorted when she took the neighbor boy out at the knees. She’s got spunk. This is a fun story set for the young ones but those of mature can enjoy it too. Brings back memories. I’m going to look forward to going on more adventures with Kris. I have lots of grandkids to share this with. We can use our imagination together.

4 R’s: Roped, Risked, Rescued, Romanced (4 R’s Series) by Julie Castle – Review by Jenni Bishop

4 R's: The Complete Series4 R’s: The Complete Series by Julie Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 R’s: Roped, Rescued, Risked, Romanced is the complete 4 R’s series in one book. They are quick and easy reads that you can’t put down once you start. The characters will have you finding a new book boyfriend to chose from or all of them.
Roped (Fools Gold) is the story of Sarah and Rafe. Sarah left after finding a note changing everything she thought and wanted but was it true or was it lies? Rafe is in dire need and Sarah returns to help but even in dire need it comes with stipulations. There is lots of chemistry, wants, needs, hopes, misunderstandings and antics that made me laugh.

Rescued (Her Heart’s Desires) is the story of Sam and Jake. Sam does a runner on her wedding day and runs into the arms of another man. Jake is on stake out when a woman runs into his arms. Now he has to keep her safe from a man who is dirtier than anyone knows. This sexy enemies to lovers tale is full of spice and a little suspense.

Risked (Serena’s Web) is Serena and Mark’s story. Serena is caught up in a dangerous web of mobsters when she decides to save her father. This puts her in the cross hairs of the FBI. Can he keep her safe even from himself? This forced proximity tale sizzles with a lot of suspense.

Romanced (It Had To Be You) is Candy and Greg’s story. Candy grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, but she is back in a town she left in her wake. Unfortunately for her she has to business with someone she would rather not have to give the time of day. She loves to hate, and he just wants to love the one that got away. This old enemies to lovers tale is steamy and makes you want to believe in love.
I know you will love it.

Kris & The Missing Prince is the first book in The Adventures of Kris series by Art Blegen. It is a colourful and imaginative chapter book adventure story. It is aimed at children aged from six to ten years old.
Just like Kris readers will be swept into the story as she finds herself in a magical world of creatures of all shapes and sizes right in Grandma’s back yard. Kris has a wild and vivid imagination, and she is not one to sit back, she is one for getting into the thick of things as she is faced with trying to thwart an evil gnome and rescue the prince.
This delightful imaginative children’s story is full of fun, with illustrations. Art’s narrative leads to vividly imagined scenes that makes for a very engaging story. There are also things to learn along the way.
You don’t have to be a child to love the adventure. I look forward to more of Kris’s adventures.

The Winemakers Box Set (The Winemakers Series) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Kerry Baker

This box set is a brilliant trilogy of stories. They are a great example of historical romance books and I really enjoyed each and every one of them. The characters were all easy to engage with and I loved learning about them all. Even though I read the books back to back, they were all so different from each other that it was easy to keep them separate.
The books are well written and relatable, despite the fact they are historical fiction. The author has found a way to draw you in as a reader and keep your attention across all of the books. I found myself enjoy each for a different reason. I would definitely recommend this series, it is truly worth the read.
