K.C never thought she would see Chamberlain Lawrence again, the man known as The Predator when he is in the ring. Seeing him again is a punch to the gut and it has K.C. remembering the past and how they got to where they are now.
K.C. had her life planned out, not a life she wanted but was expected of her and she hated it. She had a plan to find her own path away from her wealthy political family. Pressure mounts though as she finds herself falling hard for the wrong man, Chamberlain, at least the wrong man in the eyes of her parents. She is ready to give everything up for Chamberlain but is he willing to do the same?
Riveting. I was not sure quite what to expect with this one, but it exceeded my expectations. I felt for K.C. she had such a rigid grin and bear it life and to see her blossom into herself was wonderful. I am so anxious to read the next book, can’t wait.

“Marilyn Levinson’s ‘Murder the Tey Way’ skillfully blends elements of classic whodunits with modern storytelling, creating a gripping mystery filled with twists and turns. Levinson’s characters are well-developed and realistic, each with their motives and secrets, adding layers of intrigue to the plot. The pacing is excellent, keeping the reader engaged from start to finish as they unravel the puzzle alongside the astute amateur sleuth. ‘Murder the Tey Way’ is a must-read for mystery enthusiasts, offering a satisfying blend of suspense, wit, and a nod to the beloved works of Josephine Tey.”

This is a fun and entertaining story that helps to teach kids the importance of seeking help from friends. It was really interesting to see the dynamics between the two main characters. I loved what they had to teach and I loved even more how engaged my kids were with the story. Although different ages, by my children enjoyed the story. They found the adventures to be so amusing and really enjoyed the rhymes within the story. Overall, we thought this was a fun story and it is one that has been read multiple times.

This book is a great paranormal mystery story that is easy to engaged with and an enjoyable story. I connect with the characters of this book straight away and loved watching how they all interacted. They were each interesting in different ways and added to the story overall. I enjoyed how the author developed the story. I was invested in everything happening and wanted to find out what happened to the sister. The book starts of fairly slow, but builds as it goes on. I thought this lent itself to really drawing the reader in even more. This is a great start to a new series and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

I love this author and she is one of my favorites….Unexpected Heros is a MM Romance as Jude and Elijah try and navigate feelings, knowing that they were hurt in the past for different reasons. This story was fantastic and I love the bond of Jude and Elijah. I love a good second chance romance and this story gave me all the feels…..
Jude is trying to live each day at a time. Realing from a loss, he is alone in his thoughts…and in between his security detail jobs, he does not want to go down the deep spiral….until he ends up getting a new neighbor. Elijah is new in town, trying to start a brand new life with his son. Elijah never expected to be embraced by not only his new neighbor, Jude, but also his new job. When unsettling things start happening to Elijah…will Jude be able to save Elijah and his son when they need him the most? Will Jude be able to get past his loss and be able to move on and love again?
I enjoyed reading this romance story. I enjoyed this author’s writing style that made her characters come to life. I found this book to be well written and has some darker themes to it. It is a story about Becka and how she wants out of the life she has and just wants songs written about her. Then you have the Blind Rebels that look like they have it all together but behind the scenes they are barely hanging on. What happens when this group meets and what happens after is something you don’t want to miss. The characters are connectable and add so much to the story. I enjoyed watching their growth and the steam they bring to the story is great. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that is entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this story and I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book.
I enjoyed reading this second chance romance story that has a twist of suspense to it. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. It is a well written story about Jessie and Cameron. They had something once but demands had Jessie running the other way. When they meet again unexpectedly and what happens after you don’t want to miss. They have great chemistry and growth throughout the story. They are relatable characters that bring their world to life. Their story is easy to read, fast paced, and engaging. It is a hard to put down story that I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book.

Fun story for nap time, with a twist of science. I love the discovery Dinopotamus makes as he helps the children to keep warm at nap time. I think your children will love this story as much as mine did. The pictures are nicely done and the story is easy to follow. The author shows her love for our children with the stories she writes. She is so creative and her open-ended stories are always fun to read. Where is your warm spot for nap time? Review@cinful
This book has it all; fairytale romance all the way to international conspiracy. The reader gets drawn into the ups and downs of the main character’s life, as well as the corruption present in world politics. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the second installment.

I have to start off by saying my kids really enjoyed this book. It was about a racoon that goes in a family reunion but has never meet any of his family that is there before. Rocky the racoon is scared and really doesn’t want to talk or play with anyone. This book really taught my kids that its ok to be scared and that yes it can be scary to go to a new place can be scary. The artwork was super adorable, detailed and has some Amazing vibrant colors, and flowed very well with the story. This was a great learning book to understand feelings and the feelings we get with doing something new.

An enjoyable and engaging M/M Romance which introduces us to Elijah and Jude, who meet when Elijah and his baby son, Griffin move in next door to Jude. Jude helps out with the crying baby one night and a friendship develops between the men, and despite both of them having troubled pasts they can’t deny their chemistry or their instant connection. When Griffin is in danger both men are determined to save him. This fairly short story has plenty of drama and suspense which kept me hooked throughout. The chemistry sizzled off the page between the likeable Jude and Elijah and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story.

I have to start off by saying my kids really enjoyed this book, they were right into each story and mystery trying to solve it before the end of the story. This children’s book is for kids 5 and up. This is a chapter book with three mysteries to solve in this book, first the mystery of the missing meteor fields, all a meteor that hits a carrot field and what happens. The mystery of the haunted amusement park, what is happening at carrot world. The clue in the airwhale art, a carrot ship that has a mystery of its own watching. These books also had little life lessons into the stories that weave into each story together perfectly. Each story was very well written that you could almost see what is happening in the story. Very easy to understand and read.

I absolutely feel in love with this book and really couldn’t get enough of it. this is the first book to the series so always a good starter book, it really did a great introduction to Maxwell Cole. The characters in this book made you really feel like you know them on a personal level, and it was hard not to like them. this book was filed with so much from suspense, action, conspiracies, danger, mystery, secrets, lies, even some romance thrown in there. this book really made me stay on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen net to Max, and wondering if the life she tried leaving behind was going to catch up with her. I really can not wait to read the next book to this series.

This story had witches, vampires, and Humans they call mundanes. It was a good story about a woman trying to find her missing sister. It combines mystery and fantasy. It ends on a cliff hanger which will make you want to read the next book. At first I wasn’t sure about the story but when Hazel, the MFC makes it to Shadow Hollow I was hooked. It has a lot of detail for the location, the surrounding areas, the people, and the places she visits in the town. I always love me a story with detail.

The book I have looked the most forward to and I was not disappointed! As with the others it ties in story line wise but I also enjoyed how the other stories continued within this one. They really meld together so you get a continuation of the other stories with a new one it’s fantastic. Would recommend this series to anyone!

I love Drew and Katie, their relationship build up is entertaining and steamy. For two people who are against dating, they make an awfully sweet couple, with them trying to keep it a secret that they are seeing each other, I completely get the all of the misunderstandings. I am not sure Katie’s dog not liking Drew is really an obstacle have to tackle but, I was rolling with it. The ending is super sweet, I love that Drew put thought into his apology and explained why he chose what he did, because Katie is spicy! Eleven months later! Absolutely in love with the eleven months later portion and how their relationship has progressed.

When we start this story in the trilogy, we are met with Rachel and Miguel. I am falling in love with this author’s writing. Her characters really make you feel with them. Relating with Rachel was refreshing because we have all had those relationships and what not where we feel stuck but know it is not the end. I cannot wait for the next story in this trilogy.

As you start this series you are met with Tess and Ryan. Upon further looking into this author I found out that this is actually a spin off of another series that they have written. I am a sucker for small town romances. This was so fun to read and the characters’ chemistry was well written in all aspects. You get to experience the ups and downs with both Tess and Ryan. This had me ready to dive into the next as soon as I got the chance.

This book was a very quick read for me. I was able to finish it in a day. It is really well written and will have you turning pages as quickly as you can. The characters in this book are amazing and you will feel like you want to be their friends by the end of it. It is a slow burn romance with a bit of spiciness tied into it. The characters have some amazing moments with quick wit and banter. It deals with relationship issues that a lot of people commonly find themselves in and it gives hope to that situation at the end of the day. I highly recommend reading this book because it has everything you could possibly want in a romance reading. The spice level was just enough to make you blush but not enough to make you question where you should be reading this book (well at least for me). I look forward to reading more from this author.

So he makes his way back to Port Townsend his childhood and family home but what lies await for him when he gets there.

So, when Edward enters the café and starts getting to know Lisette he becomes more intrigued with her everyday but can she hide her past from him especially when his family is against there friendship.
This book was lovely and heart warming, the characters were well developed and just brilliant to read you felt as a reader that you were invested into the story. I have not read the other books in this series and although I followed the story and understood a lot I feel if I had read the whole series I would have had a better understanding of dynamics of the family and each family member.
I loved these characters and all the secondary characters just adds to this story and with the fast pace its makes it unable to put down. The chemistry jumps off the page and I fell in love with these two beautiful people. I will go back and read the series from the beginning as this story has made me intrigued to get to know the O’Connell’s in more detail.

It’s a very good story. There is lots of drama and action. It’s a very engaging story right from the start. The characters are written to connect well and flow into the story. I found that it had good flow with a slight glitch around 3/4 through but then the flow smoothed back out. Fans of this trope will enjoy this.
Wonderful start to this series. I enjoyed the twists and turns to this paranormal mystery. Hazel is trying to find out what’s going on. Nothing like a good coverup. Nothing is as it seems. Noone is who you think they are, magic or mundane. Every time I thought I had it solved, nope. I found the story entertaining, light (even with trying to solve a murder), full of paranormal. The romance was great. Let’s fall for the….(you’ll have to read it). The characters are awesome: Quirky; Odd; Weird. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.

I loved “Unexpected Heroes” by the wildly talented Naomi Valkyrie which is a M/M Story that is so well written you just want more and more. Elijah and Jude are wonderful characters that weave their way into your heart right from the start. I will 100% be searching for more from this fabulous author. I am hoping there is more to be read not only about these characters but other side characters that we met because they have me intrigued as well.

Damien and Cadence definitely fit together like a puzzle piece! The growth of their relationship was perfect!
Elijah- eff you! I did not like this guy and any time he and Cadence were together I would scream at my Kindle wanting her to leave him, even before Damien came into the picture.
Their relationship was so toxic and full of red flags that it’s easy to hate Elijah, there were absolutely no redeemable parts to him as a person or their relationship. I hated how she kept trying to get him to be the person she met/fell in love with, but that is also what made this feel so real for me since it does happen in real life, when they did finally break up though I was so happy!
I don’t normally read books like this so going into it I didn’t know how I would like it… and boy did I like it. No… LOVED it! I couldn’t put my Kindle down. This story hooked me right from the start and if it wasn’t for real life getting in the way I would have devoured this book so fast. The story is easy to get into, the characters are relatable, and even the internal pov was amazing and never boring. There are some sad parts, or at least to me they were, that made me want to jump into the book and give Damien the tightest hug.
This book is a slow burn, though, with them not getting together until chapter 22 for a while. Some twists happened and they were broken up again until chapter 32. The build-up for their first time together was so worth it though, and of course, I was screaming at my phone when Elijah came between them (again eff you, Elijah).
I give only a few books a 5-star rating, but this work of art deserves it! Watching the growth between Cadence and Damien, the personal growth of Cadence and her finding herself again after losing who she was, the relationships between friends and family, all of it was just perfection and so well written that giving it any less would be a crime.
Welcome to my never-ending list of book boyfriends Damien!

K.C works as a waitress at The General’s Golden Club with Beth. Since she graduated from college, she has been looking for a job as a teacher. All night long, she has to deal with grabby men in the bar. Her best friend, Beth, begs her to watch the upcoming boxing fights. She agrees, and Beth helps her dress up for the event. K.C becomes nervous when she watches her ex, Chamberlain “The Predator” Lawrence, fight. He wins and turns toward her. Shocked that her nickname is tattooed on his chest, K.C grabs Beth and rushes towards the exit. One of his entourage stops them, saying Chamberlain wishes to speak to her. She refuses and drags Beth into the car, waiting for them. Beth tells her to explain what the heck was going on. K.C shares her past with Chamberlain and what led to her move from Boston to Denver.
I was hooked immediately, as K.C is the black sheep of the family. I completely empathize with her struggles to establish her identity as an individual. The status quo of privileged socialites and power marriages is present in the book. Chamberlain is the guy every girl dreams of as Prince Charming. Despite possessing endearing traits, he also has several flaws, such as severe jealousy and not recognizing that Gwen, his best friend, is a bit too handsy. The character development in this story makes the unpredictable plot breathtaking. Exceptional detail made it easy to envision what was going through K.C’s mind as she told her story. I am eager to read the sequel and fully support a five out of five star rating for this book.

“ABSURD.” SAID BIRD by Tricia Gardella is such a fun little story book that my grandchildren just adored. The pictures are very cute, colourful, and engaging- which made the fun little adventure come to life. What happens when mouse plans to fly to the moon? He persuades his barnyard friends to help him build an airplane to fly there. Now they just have to find the parts and assemble it. Easy, right? And Bird thinks it’s absurd. And so…. the adventure begins- An engaging, fun, imaginative, and enjoyable children’s picture book. Looking forward to whatever Tricia Gardella brings us next. Highly recommended. Happy Reading!

A witch’s mission to find her sister’s killer leads to otherworldly dangers.
When Hazel Goode’s search for a murderer lands her in Shadow Hollow, she thinks the strangest thing there is herself. But this little midwestern town has been collecting supernatural creatures for centuries, and the arrival of one more could shatter the paranormal veil.
Corwin doesn’t plan to disclose he’s a vampire. After all, vampires are supposed to be extinct. But when he enlists Hazel’s help to solve a mystery – the same mystery she is trying to solve…but for a very different reason – his secret will put them both in danger.
Helping Corwin could crack Hazel’s case wide open, or could make them the next target. Now, with the Last Vampire on Earth and Hazel both digging around in the Midwest’s magical underbelly, it won’t be long before an uncontrollable darkness is released. And this time, there will be no escape.
Fans of True Blood and Midnight, Texas will find their next fix in Creatures of the Midwest series, a thrilling, additive paranormal drama.

Casting Vows is a story of lost love, found love, and misunderstood love. Three people with hearts of gold need to find their way through seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Danger strikes from all directions. Nothing is as it seems.
Nicolo Stark-James loves with his whole heart, but he finds there are despicable people who are willing to ruin everything.
Matty Remington needs to be safe, but he’s trapped. He has strong faith and a heart made for loving, but he needs to reconcile his love for God with his personal desires.
Eden Godwin might be the one to hold them all together, but her future isn’t her own to decide. She is pitted between love and saving her family from ruin.
Obligations are questioned, and promises are made that may not be kept. The duty to family, faith in God, and devotion to a lover seem to war with one another in this stunning and steamy MMF romance set in Los Angeles in the 1880s.
Ariella Talix is the nom de plume of a bestselling author who lives in America’s Heartland.
Her goal is to preserve the dignity of family members who would rather not be associated publicly with a woman who writes such scandalous and stimulating novels. She’s not going to stop writing them, though.
She loves her family, pets, great books, not-so-great books that still entertain, and art.
Born and raised near the beaches of southern California, Ariella Talix traveled the world extensively and then found her true home in the Midwest. She has a second-degree black belt in Karate and has been a professional artist for many years. Her work is displayed in countries all over the world.
A sudden brainstorm prompted the first of her novels, Make Believe, and since then the ideas just keep tumbling out like an avalanche.
