Ten Little Sea Turtles by Kim Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Such a cute counting book. I loved the artwork, so beautiful, I had to look at each page thoroughly to take it all in. At the end, the search and find game is a nice touch to help kids count and play. I also really loved the facts about sea turtles, there were a couple as an adult that I actually didn’t know, so it is a fun book of learning for all ages.
Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 4th book in the Love on Tap series and just like the rest of the series it is AMAZING!!! Joey and Lynn are fantastic characters and their path to love was so fun to read. There is an element that ties into the previous books which I don’t want to give away so I’ll just say I so did not see that coming!! Do yourself a huge favour and read not only this book but all 4 Love on Tap books you truly won’t regret!! I loved them all from start to finish. All the characters weaved their way straight into my heart where they will stay for a very long time!
Italian American: Jack & Mariella’s journey continues… by Luigina Vecchione
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a wonderfully detailed historical romance which kept me captivated throughout. Having met American Jack and Italian Mariella in the previous book I was keen to continue their journey, however you can happily read this as a standalone story. The storyline picks up nine years after Jack and Mariella’s fateful meeting in Rome, and now Mariella is ready to leave her beloved city to start a new life with her husband in America, but it means leaving her family behind. Having arrived in America Mariella has to cope with a disapproving mother-in-law and gossiping housewives, whilst Jack is working nights at the restaurant so she is not even spending time with him. Moving into their own house in Wanamassa Gardens is a new start for Mariella and she starts to settle into life in America and as their family grows the couple are hopeful for a better future. However, Mariella is soon called home to Italy having received a heartbreaking call, and once back she has to confront the decisions which led her to cross the Atlantic. Mariella struggles with having to say goodbye to her family for a second time but if she stays and does not return to America she will loose the life she always wanted with her husband and children. This really was a tale of “hope, sacrifices, and the unbreakable spirit of women who shape their destinies”. I was hooked throughout by this enjoyable, emotional and engaging story. Mariella and Jack are such likeable and relatable characters and I felt invested in their journey. The wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative brought the settings vividly to life whilst the added historical details transported me back in time. I felt fully immersed in the story and found it hard to put this book down!
Greetings from Asbury Park: A World War Two love story by Luigina Vecchione
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
How beautiful is this cover ?! I’ll be honest this was a very hard read and more than once I put it down because it was just to hard to read and I had a tough time processing it but it’s a period in history that cannot be denied and this is based on a true story so I had to honour these beautiful people so I pushed cred through and was rewarded with a tragic but beautiful story 🥰😢and I reread the dedication and that was my inspiration to push through , thank you for sharing a beautiful love story , it gives me hope 🙏
Also one reads of German occupation in most of Europe but I’ve not read much of how Rome and it’s people were affected so this was also informative, despite heartbreaking
So we’re in Rome and the war is hard and nobody is safe from the Germans and their hatred of anyone different ….
Mariella is the oldest child in her family and they rely on her heavily to help and she makes many a sacrifice and she still has guilt that she is burdened with unnecessarily …..
The Americans then come to liberate Rome and that is when Mariella meets Jack who is Italian , they spend one night together and agree to be pen pals when he heads back to USA and as life return to normal their lives moon on Jack is engaged to Lauren and Mariella is dating Lorenzo and both relationships have their flaws ….quite frankly their current partners are quite shallow and snobbish 🙈 so opposite from who they are and their life experiences 😢
Jack goes back to Rome determined to find his Mariella and convince her of his intentions but I don’t think she needs much of it 🥰 this really was a love story that stood the test of time and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for theses two beautiful families that are now united in marriage 🥰
Italian American: Jack & Mariella’s journey continues… by Luigina Vecchione
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this cover even more than the first one because I know the journey Jack and Mariella had to make to get to this point where they now are and the dedication had me in tears because it’s just so beautiful and I loved the picture of a smiling Mariella 🥰
After finishing Greetings from Ashbury Park I could wait to see what the future had in store for these 2 beautiful families joined by marriage 🥰
Ok so opening chapter is already breaking my hart but at the same time it reminds me of a life well lived of an intentional love and a beautiful family , it’s life’s full circle …..
Jack is back in Italy and has come to fetch Mariella now that her visa is ready , it’s been 7 months and the reunion is sweet 🥰 the farewell from Mariella’s family had me howling like she was one of my own , letting your children go is no easy task and it must’ve been daunting for her as well , new country , new culture , new language but she has Jack do he’s her calming beacon 😉
They move into their own home and start their own family , friendships are formed and despite strained relationships with her mother in law and jacks’ along hours at the restaurant their love remains strong and let’s not forget the meddling ex and the gossiping housewives 🙈😡I wish they would stop and take the time to get to know Mariella they’d realise how much time they wasted on being mean and appreciate the gem she is and the love she had for her family .
When her dad takes ill she and kids go to rime and Jack at one stage fears they won’t come back and I think it’s partially the fault of those gossip mongers and again their love prevails the obstacles thrown their way …..
This was definitely one that made me grateful for my family and respect the decisions and sacrifices Mariella had to make , another hard yet beautiful read and I just want to thank the author from my heart for being so real , vulnerable and honest and for sharing her family with me 🙏❣️
Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This one is good but not written with the same flair as previous books. It kept me interested and engaged but this one I struggled with and more than once and just flipped forward past all the narrative. That did not bother me at all and I was able to keep up with the story. I thought this would be thrilling with Madame Chalamet have an apprentice. It was good but the girl is more of an irritant than a good addition to the story. I was expecting hi-jinks in regards to her but it was more serious.
Overall its an okay story. Not my favorite in the series. That sensual tension between the Duke and the Madame is palpable.

*READ TRIGGER WARNINGS*
This was not what I expected. I have not read this genre before and should have tried something not as intense because… wow… I am not sure if I will continue to dip my toes to broaden my horizons and try new books in this genre, but if you like it… you will LOVE this book. I think I will be having nightmares for the next few nights.
Great stories, and great writing skills. I did get drawn into the stories as I do with others I read, I still feel like I have bugs crawling on my skin from all the stuff in this book that gave me the creeps.
-Let’s Go Home Wolfie (Autophobia)
-Not In My House (Katsaridaphobia)
-I’ll Float Away (Lepidopterophobia)

-Deep Thoughts (Taphephobia)
-It’s All Fun and Games (Thanatophobia)
-Happy Anniversary (Ophidiophobia)

I didn’t even know some of these were actual phobias, and learned I have some of these phobias… just wish I learned in a not-so-scary way!
Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this one. It’s George’s story, yet also an angel/fairy love story (you’ll see). I really loved that concept. The ones helping him had their own love found too. It’s an intriguing story. I found myself right back into the fun of following George as he’s trying to get over his broken heart. The story is well-written. I loved all the characters. The details are so thought out and planned well. It’s such a relatable story even being a fairy tale. You just can’t help feeling for George. I can’t wait for the next book.
Whiskey Throttle by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Whiskey Throttle (Moto X Series Book 6) by Brooke May is a great contemporary Romance series
Parker Bartin appears to be a man who has it all to anyone who looks at him. The family, the wealth, and the celebrity to round out his universe. However, Parker’s life is not at all ideal. He’s gone absolutely insane, just as lost as his sister Paige, from when he was a party animal, drowning himself to cope with the tragedies of his past in a very different way. Parker ignores what is going on in front of him as he tries and fails to be what he believes he needs to be. He is in danger of losing everything, including his lucrative work, his freedom to pursue his interests, and his partner with whom he spends every evening.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.
Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Stars
Finding Love is the second book in the Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy by Julie Navickas. This is a sweet, heart-tugging contemporary romance story about letting go of the past in order to embrace the future. About journeying through heartache, by finding the healing power of love.
This is Rachel Prescott and Miguel Rodriguez story- who were wonderfully developed individuals, beautifully flawed with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. Rachel has been unlucky in finding love, her experiences begin to weigh on her. While Miguel has had his own heartache when it came to love. But love always finds a way. Together they became so much ‘more’.
Looking forward to Chasing Love (Book #3).
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Julie Navickas!

4.5 Stars
Trusting Love is the first book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas. It is an angsty and emotional contemporary romance all about new beginnings, redemption, and finding love unexpectedly.
I have to be honest here and say I was not sure I ‘wanted’ to read this book when I first read the blurb as I realised ‘who’ the FMC was. But, as I have always enjoyed the stories that Ms. Navickas has written, I decided to trust her, take a chance, and dive in. And I am soooo glad that I did.
We met Tess Browning in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, and I didn’t particularly ‘like’ her there (and that’s putting it very mildly)- so I was pretty certain that I wouldn’t like her here either. But, I was so wrong. She, and Ms. Navickas won me over with this heartwarming story of love and redemption!
All the ‘feels’…
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Julie Navickas!

Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series, but this can be read as a standalone if you want. I enjoyed the first book as well, so you’ll likely circle back to enjoy more of this fantastic writing! The author expertly crafts a mysterious adventure with phenomenal characters. It feels like you get to experience the story instead of just standing on the outside looking in. I love the flow of the story because it’s so natural that it sucks you in and never lets go. The main character is a strong, determined woman that is sure to be an inspiration to everyone that picks this book up. If you enjoy the Sherlock Holmes adventures, you will absolutely adore this book (and series). I highly recommend this book if you enjoy suspense stories with an incredible cast trying to solve an unbelievable paranormal mystery!

This is book six in The Moto X series, although I would bet it is best to read them in order, and If they are all this good then you definitely should. I did read this as a standalone and did fine. Yet I will be reading the others because I liked it so much.
This is Parker’s story, whom you will find to be a complex dark kinda guy, yet very intriguing. It is a very thought-provoking story so full of emotion (maybe some triggers) as Parker rises up from rock bottom. A very well written contemporary romance with motorcross, fast paced, great characters, heartache, drama and second chances. Definitely grab this book. You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve read the first book in this series and enjoyed it! I was very much looking forward to the continuing story. Just as in the previous, there is a strong female detective lead in this story as well. Elinor is in the midst of the holiday season and is looking forward to enjoying its festivities. Then the mystery of poisoning the King happens and it is up to Elinor to find out who could have committed such a heinous act. The story keeps you so captivated by its illustrious steampunk atmosphere, delving into detective work in sorting out through possible suspects and some twists and turns. It is such an enjoyable quick read and I look forward to reading more by Nash!
Productivity is Power 2: For Creative, Business, and Other Professionals by Hillary Rettig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I feel this is a good read for those who are trying to help their procrastinating ways. I like that right in beginning the authors speaks on mental health and advises to see a specialist, especially because sometimes our procrastination comes from struggling with a mental health disorder. The author includes in the book different strategies/exercise to try to help combat your procrastination, as someone with ADHD I kind of felt good about myself for already doing some of them on days I’m not letting my quasiproductive procrastination win. And there are some I need to keep in mind to try. I really like that she encourages to stop that inner bully that I know a lot of people have. I really enjoyed part 2 on perfectionism. My complaint with the book is when she’d state something and then say that she’ll go more on it in a different chapter. I didn’t feel the book was one to skip around in, so I felt that it wasn’t needed to include it’ll be talked about again later on. But other than that I think it’s a good read for those looking for a little extra help.

Delicious Death is the second book of six in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series by Byrd Nash. This has been said before, but Elinor is very much like a female Sherlock Holmes. I find myself enjoying Elinor and even the Duke a little more this time around. They are both really growing on me. I love how her character is so well written. I truly feel like I would get along with her in real life! I enjoyed seeing Elinor’s character showing a softer side where she just wants to relax and be a lady. I felt this was a very quick and easy read and you don’t have to read the books in order to keep up. But I am definitely excited to continue this journey into book three. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance mystery with some ghosts thrown in!
One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book I have read by the author Cori Cooper. It is a surprising and fun YA fantasy book. There were times that the book was a little on the slow side, but it wasn’t so slow that it took away from the book. It is jam-packed with adventure, quirky & loving characters, wonderful fantasy worldbuilding, teenage drama, magic, emotions all over the place, and so much more!
The concept of doing a DNA test to see if you have “villain” in your heritage is such an interesting idea and then to expand that idea into finding out your ‘tendencies’ is even more interesting! The most fascinating aspect for me is that we all want to be seen for who we are now, or who we are trying to become, not who we used to be. No one wants to be known for the past. What had me hooked was the statement “Every good fairy tale needs a villain” because YES!!
Maddy is less than thrilled when her DNA results come back with 1/4 villain, not only is she not thrilled, she is insanely confused by her mom and grams reactions to the DNA results. What does this even mean?
Maddy figures out quickly that the world she knew is completely incorrect, there are magical realms. After Maddy’s best friend is banished to another realm, she MUST go rescue him. After things take a turn for the worst, Maddy starts to think there is fact to her DNA results – could she actually be villain, does that make her a bad person? Maddy’s black/white view of you can only be good OR evil, but not both, is turned upside down, and I absolutely loved how she grows as a person!
All of the characters involved in the story were so personal and entertaining, especially Leo. There is a wonderful mix of modern day teenager and magical fairytale. The ending was *perfection* – one of the best endings I’ve read! The book does not end on a cliffhanger, BUT, I would love to see where Maddy and Leo’s story goes, so I am looking forward to that. This is an amazing book for YA, while there is some romance, it is wholesome. This would also be a good pallet cleanser for just a clean, fun, and quirky book! Highly recommend too anyone YA (and even older!) who enjoys a little modern mixed with their fairytale magic.

Trusting Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Tess Browning has the nickname ‘Little Vixen’ and she has earned it! Playing by the rules just resulted in her having been trapped in a loveless marriage. Commitment and faithfulness are not important to Tess, preferring to keep things ‘fun, flirty and sultry’. Meanwhile Ryan Prescott has been left emotionally damaged and with a broken heart by a past relationship. When Tess and Ryan meet they share an instant connection and Ryan manages to charm his way into her heart. But Ryan is wary after his last relationship and when the details come to light, Tess knows he won’t like her past indiscretions. Therefore, she will do anything to keep him in the dark, but Ryan hates dishonesty and if he finds out her secret it may ruin both their chances at true love. I liked how the story was told from multiple POV’s, but I wasn’t keen on the third person narrative. However, over all I enjoyed the heartwarming and emotional storyline and I found the characters likeable and relatable. Ryan and Tess’s chemistry came across in the narrative and I was hoping they would get their HEA, No Spoilers, I recommend reading this romance to find out the outcome!!

This is a creative and fun way for children to learn to count while developing a love for ocean life. I think that this book and series will be read over and over.
Bad Enough by Nicole Craig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Romance novelist Sylvan Jones is venturing into the world of BDSM for her book that she is writing. She knows nothing about the lifestyle and has been given an anonymous mentor through chat. Over time she feels closer to TB, even though they have never met. TB is intrigued by the woman he chats with whose name is Flame. He pushes her boundaries and when they meet it all ignites. TB feels himself torn though as his team is investigating the disappearance of a missing woman and it looks like Sylvan has already caught the eye of the man behind it.
I enjoyed the way that Sylvan and TB had the chat dialogue and it built up to something special between them. Great chemistry, the story is intriguing. Filled with characters who peaked my interest for future books.

Miguel Rodriguez is the new owner of restaurant, Pier Ninety-Two and he’s also had difficulties finding love in the past. Then they meet each other at the restaurant, but Rachel is wary of dating again and Miguel is still suffering with a broken heart. However, over a drink or two they get chatting and find that they have an instant connection. Leading them both to start thinking that it may be time to move on after all. Although some of the characters from the previous book ‘pop up’ in this one it can be read as a standalone story. I found both Rachel and Miguel likeable and relatable characters and I was hoping they would both get their HEA. I liked how the story is told from multiple POV’s, as it made me feel more engaged with the characters thoughts. This is a sweet and at times steamy romance which kept me happily turning the pages.

Catch A Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ted is a man with a quiet demeanor and a story. When he was at his lowest, Hank Kincaid took a chance on hiring him to help with the ranch and has not regretted it for a single second. Stephanie is a woman with a plan and an organizational chart for everything! She finds herself drawn to Ted, but fears that their age difference might be too vast to bridge. When Ted’s sister shows up unexpectedly with her daughter in tow, Ted is thrown into parenting his niece for a couple of weeks while his sister transitions to Herd. When Stephanie agrees to help his niece adjust as her Kindergarten teacher, it is not all selfless. She’s hoping to get to know Ted better and to maybe find a way to traverse the bridge between them. Can Ted let go of his past to see his present? Or will the gap be too great between the two of them?
I really enjoyed this book. It was a good, clean read with a lot of emotions involved. I could not help but feel drawn to Stephanie and to root for her! She is literally, the sweetest and Ted is the kindest. Their story was a very sweet one. The town of Herd sounds like a place that I would love to live in, too. After living in several small towns, I could feel the nuances of Herd as if I was there myself. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series!

On Maddy’s 17th birthday her grandmother gifted her a DNA kit to find out more about her heritage. After reluctantly not turning it in right away she finally does and finds out she is 25% Villain!! Maddy thinks its a typo but then she keeps getting calls and emails from someplace called VDA. Maddy confided in her best friend Leo and after taking a quiz where Leo answers jokingly to all the answers and Maddy answers honestly, Leo disappears the next day and nobody but Maddy, her mom and grandmother remember him.

Bad Enough by Nicole Craig

Sylvan is writing her next book, wanting to add a bit of spice she is given “Lobo’s” name to help her in the scene and understand the whole club world, so when she meets Lobo and he directs her and answers her question she is enthralled with the whole scene.
Although when she becomes involved in a case and she gets to meet the real Lobo as in TB can she put her emotions in a box like he can and get to the bottom of the missing girls or will she be the next victim.
TB has lived his life in the military, a great operative and team player but there is a side that he keeps separate from the team, the club. So his two worlds collide and he becomes determined to protect Sylvan but has the frustration when she will not give up her research to help with the case and puts her in the line of fire. Can he help her without letting his emotions come to the surface.
This is the second book in this series but can be read as a stand alone story, the story is full of twists and turns, with the chemistry of the two main characters jumps off the page. Although this is a rather long story you do not get the feeling, the story is fast paced and will have you reading well into the night to finish it.
I always love a flawed character and TB definitely is the definition of this although a strong Alpha he has had trauma from childhood and his career which has him being vulnerable in certain situations which is always refreshing to read. Sylvan also being a bit soft at first you get to see also the strong female character she is and making her a perfect equal for TB’s character. The secondary characters also gives this story an extra layer that is just brilliant to read.
I can not wait for the next book in this series.

The second book in the series by this author and the story does not disappoint.<br />We continue to follow Elinor as she is woven into another mystery again with the Duke de Archambeau. The characters continue to grow, and their interactions are one of the reasons that this series is one that you cannot put down.<br />Elinor is on holiday and is invited to the King’s winter feast; an assassin attempts to poison the King. <br />Although there is no murder to solve but a Lady’s reputation to protect and there is certainly otherworldly input from ghosts linked to the story have a lot to say to Elinor as her medium training kicks in to help.<br />
