Ashes by M.K. Harkins My rating: 4 of 5 stars I have mentioned in reviews before that I shy away from main characters in their teens because I find them immature and whiny… I suppose that’s a sign of a well written character as immaturity is part of our teen years but there is often […]
Stitch by Stitch by Marie-Thérèse Hernon My rating: 4 of 5 stars Stitch by Stitch was not as “fast moving” as I had hoped it would be, yet it managed to keep my attention from start to finish. Elizabeth as a character was real and relatable as she tried to do what was best for […]
Misfortune of Vision by Christy Nicholas My rating: 4 of 5 stars Misfortune of Vision: Druid’s Brooch Series #4 Christy Nicholas 4 out of 5 First and foremost, I absolutely love the cover of this novel.

Enchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett My rating: 5 of 5 stars I LOVE the cover art of this book. Admittedly it was what attracted me to the book in the first place, the author was a close second. I have read several books from this author and as usual, this didn’t disappoint. The […]
Ritual Obsession by R.L. Dunn My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was drawn to this novel originally because I looked forward to a book with a female detective as a main character. So many novels have your typical, tortured male detective and I was looking forward to a different approach to your average crime […]
I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am a HUGE fan of this series and was SO excited to read the newest installment. As predicted, it did not disappoint. It has been a long time since I read book number three, so I could have easily reread it […]
The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent My rating: 3 of 5 stars I don’t read a lot of books with high school characters because I tend to get caught up in feeling they’re too immature, flat or even annoying. I decided to pick up the The Lie That Binds because I’ve read and enjoyed […]
Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you know me personally in any capacity you would automatically know my draw to this series!

Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first picked up this novel. This was a new to me author and not a genre I read frequently. I was drawn in by the synopsis and I stayed for a fierce female main character. I […]
Burned by Fire by Danielle Jacks My rating: 4 of 5 stars Burned by Fire is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was a short and an easy read, one that I found myself picking up in little crevices throughout my day. I have to admit I was not a big fan […]
Caring for Kingsley, Believing in a Better Way When Canine Cancer Comes Crashing Into Your World by Alli Eldridge My rating: 5 of 5 stars I can write anything I want about this book- the writing style, the author but the main thing that comes to mind is how absolutely therapeutic it must have been […]
Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was drawn to this book initially because I LOVED the cover. Secondly, I don’t was intrigued by the synopsis, as intended. The book itself did not disappoint. I felt the author’s writing was strong from the very beginning. I didn’t notice that the […]
As Close to Perfect by Maria Jane My rating: 4 of 5 stars Close to Perfect was a fun, fast paced read that really showed the trials and tribulations of the dating world. I really liked Bree as a main character and felt that above all else, she was relatable. Who hasn’t had “enough” bad […]

The Scent of Gardenias by Lorraine Haas My rating: 5 of 5 stars I could probably count the number of historical or historical women’s fiction I’ve read in my life, on just one hand. When I stumbled across The Scent of Gardenias, I fell in love with the cover and couldn’t help but give it […]

The Sound of Murder by K.L. Montgomery My rating: 5 of 5 stars It’s been a long time since I read something by this author but I wasn’t disappointed. I loved this cozy mystery. It had humor, great characters and of course- mystery. It was a really quick read but a lot of enjoyment. The […]
Shamrock & Clover: Fields Apart by C.A. King My rating: 5 of 5 stars Full transparency- it took me until I was halfway through this book before I really loved it. Once pieces started to fall into place and both characters met, the storyline really picked up for me. I have to say, I love […]
the mermaid and the rainbow by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have two young children that love reading with me. Both are intrigued by “experiments” and science and my daughter is a lover of mermaids. That being said, this book seemed like a no brained to one-click. This was a neat, […]
Reunion in the Outback by Nicole Flockton My rating: 4 of 5 stars While this book is part of a series, this is the first I have read from it. This didn’t impact the storyline, I still had no problem relating to the characters and following along. There were times, especially at the beginning where […]
Class Clown by Allan Evans My rating: 4 of 5 stars I have never been one to find clowns creepy or chilling but there was one particular scene in this book that STILL sits very vividly in my mind. I get a shiver even thinking back on it. This was a really well written story […]

Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett My rating: 4 of 5 stars Lingering Spirits is the fourth book in the Soul Connection series and in my opinion it’s a 4 star story worth reading. When I picked up this book, I was certain I had read the three books prior to it but it turns […]
Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall My rating: 5 of 5 stars Depending on You is most definitely a 5 star read. I grew up in a small town and my adulthood friends are the same women that I have known since elementary school. The bonds in this book meant a lot to me and […]
Road Rage by Karina Kantas My rating: 4 of 5 stars I am new to this stand alone series, Road Rage being the first book I’ve read. It has been a long time since I read a motorcycle club book and I’ve never read one by this author so I was really excited. Overall, I […]
Wild Hare’s Daughter by Laura Koerber My rating: 4 of 5 stars I hadn’t realized when I started this book that it was a sequel to another book prior.
