The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent My rating: 5 of 5 stars A New Adult novel that tackles a tough subject with heart. Would recommend for upper teens as there is explicit sex scenes and internal monologue about it. A bit of an enemies to lovers/opposites attract going on here. The main topic though […]
Castor’s Kiss by Tai James My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.25 rounded up. I have to say alien romance was not a thing I thought I’d like but I’ve read a few recently where I was pleasantly surprised. Happy to have dipped my toe into this romance trope recently. I really enjoyed the enemies […]

Premeditated by Susanna Haymond My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4 stars Partially a novel about “who dun it” and partially a novel about “who is ___ really?” I have to say I was NOT expecting the outcome. Enjoyed this semi-murder mystery novel. A highly addictive street drug is being fought against by pillars in […]
Oliver, A Story About Adoption by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars Only able to give a 4 because I feel like this book should have had more closure in the end, but I still thought the life lesson here about adoption is relevant and real. I did think that the story was […]

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars Book 6 in the series. Technically each story is a standalone novel but the stories are intertwined so it’s recommended to read the series in order. This right here is how you write a suspenseful romance without the romance […]

The Fighter by India Kells My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.5/5 stars. A wonderful conclusion to a gripping and erotic trilogy. These books should be read in order as they build upon one another. As with the other two books in the series there is graphic details of MM intimacy, as well as threesome […]

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Book 5 of the series.

The Know-It-All Pencil by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 5 of 5 stars A wonderful fantastical scavenger hunt style kids book.

Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl My rating: 4 of 5 stars A shorter read (few hours). Seemed contemporary but I don’t remember any technology so I could be wrong about that. Paranormal alternate reality where there are shifters, here wolves, who create their own packs. The Alpha of the pack head up the royalty […]
Unchecked by Carina Alyce My rating: 4 of 5 stars A fairly quick read. Warning, this one ends in a cliffy, but it’s worth the journey. I enjoyed the overall storyline, and to see Stella’s growth, from alcoholic , to renowned doctor (who loves a little loving on the side) who has a penchant for […]
the mermaid and the rainbow by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 5 of 5 stars Science, fantasy, and diversity! Loved it! A very cute young kids book. It talks about science and the cool things you can do with it. It doesn’t read like the baby books and such that I remember being read (Eric Carlyle, […]

Right off the bat I have to say that I really enjoyed the levity that Goose the Goat and little hellion Miranda brings to this mostly serious book. This one […]
A Second Chance by Brooke May My rating: 5 of 5 stars Second chance paranormal shifter romance. An emotional wringer. 4.5 rounded up.
