Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood – Review by Mandy Ott

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series #1)Secrets, Lies and Betrayals by Lynn Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by saying, “Wow!” I did not know what I was getting myself into by reading Secrets, Lies, and Betrayals. Book 1 of the Protect and Honor Series by Lynn Wood is an amazing political thriller that I simply couldn’t put down. This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. In light of the current political situation in the US, this book is chilling. There is so much going on in this book; suspense drama, danger, romance, secrets, and much, much more! Lynn Wood weaves an intricately chilling tale of conspiracy theories, political extremists, assassinations, and secret identities. The characters are all realistic and believable, although my modest lifestyle reeled at the thought of the many private jets, stunning homes and palaces, and security measures being utilized throughout the book. Michaela’s journey and growth throughout the book, despite the obstacles, heartbreak, and opposition intent on keeping her down, was truly inspirational. The story is so well-written and imaginative that I could picture myself at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, overlooking the ocean in California, or listening to the gentle waves in Cape Cod. This was my first time reading a book by Lynn Wood but it will certainly not be the last!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love Rinkside is the first I’ve read in this series, The Playmakers, but I loved it, so I’m sure I’ll go back and read others. This book is a perfect rom-com story. The beginning is hilarious and the laughs kept coming. Both Drew and Katie were wonderfully written and likeable. The supporting characters are well developed and give a preview of the other books. The ending was perfect, it was both funny and sweet. I like how the author built their lovable dogs into the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Raccoon Reunion is a cute story that addresses the fear of meeting new people. My son was a little thrown off by the family of humans in the beginning, since the rest of the story focuses on the raccoon family. But overall, we liked the story. I like how the young raccoons pair up at the end, but wish they would have done it during the 3 legged race so they had more time to bond. The pictures are super adorable and colorful. Now my son wants to plan a family reunion for our family.

Love Rinkside: A Spicy Hidden Identity Hockey Romance Novella (The Playmakers Series)

If you’re looking for an entertaining book to distract you on your commute or whenever you listen to books I suggest you get this one.

Katie and Drew’s initial meeting had me giggling at first then the picture of what was described had me laughing out loud. Their story was a cute one and I throughly enjoyed listening to it to get me through my work day.

The narrators Ryan Lee Dunlap and Shiloh James did a great job bringing Katie and Drew’s story to life. This was the first time listening to either one of them but will definitely look for more book they narrate.

This was not my introduction to Ms. Brady or this series and this is not the last time I will be reading her

The Chaos Clock: Tales of Cosmic Aether is an anthology of 14 stories by 13 authors focusing on the common themes of clocks and time.

I was not disappointed and will look for more to read by authors with stories in the anthology. The stories took me away from my day-to-day stressors and took me into different times and spaces. I especially enjoyed the stories from Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Rachel A. Brune, and James Chambers. All of the stories flowed from one to next easily with links in themes and stories.

Orange Forest Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom and Lucrecia Darling. Lois Wickstrom is my favorite children’s author so I knew I would love this book but wow it was sooo good. You actually get 3 mysteries in one book. My 11 year old nephew truly enjoyed it as much as I did. It all begins with strange happenings on Jennifer and Gregory’s rabbit farm. There is the Mystery of the Missing Meteor Fields Carrots, The Mystery of the Haunted Amusement Park and The Clue in the Airwhale Art. You and your young one can work thru each of these mysteries and try to solve them yourselves. There is fun, family, teamwork and spies. This book is geared toward ages 9-11 and they are so fun. This would make a great gift for the young one in your life. Such great lessons and pictures!

y children and I (especially my 7 year old) love reading Lois Wickstrom books together and I was really excited to find this chapter book. I liked that it was comprised of three different stories with cute, enjoyable characters. I do wish there was a picture here or there even as a chapter book. I have one young reader and a lover of graphic novels so that would be a fun addition. The kids and I looked forward to reading these little mysteries before bed each evening.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Are you like me always searching for the one thing that will change your life after a lifetime of being overweight? Well then Kristens approach is a way to go. I have not put it into practice, but her book takes a look at the whole being instead of just the food aspect of weight loss.
Its not a magical pill you can take or snap your fingers and you are thin as we would all like, but it does have a methodical look into the struggles of everyday life and the choices that have caused stumbling blocks for most of us.
The End of Try Try Again is about health, food, mind, body, exercise and more. You never know this could be the breakthrough for you so give it a try.

This book is full of bright colourful pictures that I am sure the little ones will love. Mouse is determined to fly to the moon to get some cheese. He tells the other farm animals if they help him build a plane he will bring them each back some cheese. All the animals think it is a clever idea, well except for bird. Bird thinks it is an absurd idea to build a plane. All the other animals help build the plane, take off does not go well for mouse at all. Bird swoops down to rescue mouse and tells him it is an absurd idea to build a plane to fly to the moon. Bird tells mouse he needs a rocket. Mouse thinks this is a clever idea and all the animals scramble for parts to build the rocket. For Bird this is not an absurd idea and leads the way to collect what they need to build their rocket.

What an entertaining book. For the week I had, this book made it so much better. I love a good romance that I can dive in that’s full of humor, romance, and fantastic characters. Right from the start, the story engages you. As a mama, I thought I was going to fall off my chair chuckling at the beginning. I haven’t read any of this author’s books before but I am going to need some more. You come away with a smile from this one.

Great story, I thought the way Rocky was a bit shy in participating was spot on with what a child would do with kids unfamiliar to them. Beautiful illustrations and a entertaining spirited time for the raccoons.

The Music That Ties Us is part of the Love Ties Us series by Nicolette Terry, I have never read a book by this author before, but I will be keeping an eye out for more. I really enjoyed everything about this book, it got me mad which is a good thing. The story follows Cadence who finds herself in an unfulfilling relationship with a who is stifling her, when Cadence goes to a concert with her sister Jade, she does not expect to have an instant connection with the smouldering lead singer of the band. Damien is not in the market for a relationship, especially one with a woman who is already taken, he has been burned before and has learned his lesson however, he cannot deny the attraction he feels. This was a really enjoyable book, I got so mad at Elijah and the way he treated Cadence that I was practically shouting at my Kindle. I really wish this book had included him getting his comeuppance rather than seemingly being able to walk away without consequence, but hopefully, future books will revisit some of these storylines. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series.

This has to be one of the funniest romances I have read in a while! The entire book is filled with humor, but sizzling heat between Drew and Katie. The whole mascot idea was hysterical. I think my favorite part of the book was the way these characters actually met. It was a quick read and I didn’t want to put it down.

I have never met a more relatable character than Blakley. I too binge watch Greys Anatomy and indulge myself in my favorite DoorDash order when I’m taking a mental day.

I really enjoyed this story. It was extremely realistic. It showed the different aspects of human relationships. We saw grief, love, betrayal and forgiveness. It wasn’t a fairy tale romance but you can feel how deep the love runs. I don’t personally have experience with a loved one seeing the horrors of war, but it seems like the author did a very good job capturing survivors guilt and ptsd.

I really love the playlist at the front of the books. I think they are great companions to capture the essence of the story.
I loved this story, instant connection is so hard to come by but it’s so beautiful. It really is as if that person was made for you. The chemistry between Damien and Cadence jumps off of the page. I enjoyed every minute of the book.

An enjoyable sci-fi romance which had me hooked throughout. When Dr. Moira McCann’s twin sister Claire doesn’t turn up for a visit, she gets concerned. Claire’s last text came from Allenville, a small town in the North Carolina mountains, so Moira travels there to find her. Arriving in the remote county of Allenville, Moira seeks help from its Police Chief, Seth Call. He knows that being early summer its mating season in the mountains for certain vicious species, meaning that anyone who wanders off the known paths becomes prey. However, despite Seth’s instant attraction to Moira, he must keep the secrets of his town, his people and their history. Although Seth keeps the truth about Claire’s true fate from her sister, Moira starts to think there is more to the little town than the sexy, but secretive Police Chief is saying. Moira is determined to discover her sister’s fate, even if the truth is unearthly. I found the characters to be likeable and relatable and the chemistry between Moira and Seth came across. The setting came alive through the descriptive narrative making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists, element of suspense and of course the romance all kept me gripped until the last page.

Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #2)Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We all grow up with fairy tales. I’ve always enjoyed works where they update the stories to more modern events and is reimagined a bit, and this book absolutely fits the bill. There is a lot happening with multiple POVs, lost loves, great fated loves, adventures and more – but it’s so well written that it’s easy to follow as you read through. Not as easy to explain when you’re trying to review without it getting jumbled. This was my first read by this author and the second book in this series, but I had no problems following and am working on the Cinderella book next!

Lily has gotten away from her mother and the tales of doom and gloom she carries when she goes away to college. The world is huge and exciting, and it’s really her first chance to experience things now that she is away on her own. In her journey, she meets George and they immediately have sparks flying – but George is stuck on a lost love and Lily is too ready to move forward after being held back by her mother for all of her life. He recognizes how drawn to Lily he is, but is scared and has to take a leap. Will he? Will Lily convince him how made for one another they are, or will she be forced to walk away from her soulmate?

Speaking of soulmates – any fated love needs a support team, right? This is where Merilee (an inexperience fairy godmother) and Zuriel (a guardian angel to another important character) come in. Merilee and Zuriel have explosive chemistry between them no matter the situation and are a lot of fun to follow with all the missteps they stumble through.

There are a lot of layers to this story and I did feel some of the scenarios could have been tied up differently for a better result, but overall I loved the rework and POVs. It wasn’t hard to follow although it was book 2 and there were several characters with a lot happening throughout the story. Cinderella’s book 1 is proving to be off to a fantastic start and I hope to find that this series grows!
