Friend by M.L. Sparrow My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the third book in the “College Romance” series and it has been a long time since I read the others in this series. FRIEND is a “friends to more” story that has a decent flow to it and is easy to follow along […]
Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two by Lexi C. Foss My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is not a stand-alone. Book 2 of ELEMENTAL FAE ACADEMY picks up where Book 1 ends. FLOVE this series. As is typical with any good trilogy, book 2 has an arch that continues with character development and information that […]
Virtue & Vice by Phoebe Alexander My rating: 4 of 5 stars VIRTUE AND VICE follows SUGAR AND SPICE and it is super important to read S&S first because it is an integral part of the story. Can you read V&V as a stand-alone? Sure, but I think the background from the first story is […]
Evil Sushi by C.A. King My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have a bookshelf in my “library” (my husband calls it my hideout) that is dedicated to paperbacks written by this author. I love her books and and often wonder how her imagination comes up with some of the stories. EVIL SUSHI is the […]
Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a New Adult romance with open door sex told in third person. It is a story I would recommend to an older teen/young adult. While this is classified as a “stepbrother” story it seemed more like a […]
Elemental Fae Academy by Lexi C. Foss My rating: 4 of 5 stars Book One of the ELEMENTAL FAE ACADEMY is a story that I read in one sitting. It has good world building, is visually written, told in multiple points of view and decent character development. There were times when I wanted to pinch […]
Forbidden by Autumn Sand My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hmmmm. How does one review this book? This is a novella that contains 7 short stories. Each story is a stand alone with a beginning, middle, and end. What they have in common is the narrator who introduces the story. Each story is a “forbidden” […]
Tangles by Sharleen Scott My rating: 5 of 5 stars TANGLES was a blind read for me. The cover intrigued me and I have enjoyed this author’s stories in the past so never questioned what the book would be about. Told in third person with multiple POVs and set in present and past time, It […]
Ailey of Skye by Wendy Hewlett My rating: 4 of 5 stars AILEY OF SKYE is the type of book that I thought I knew what was going to happen and settled in for some predictability only to discover, within the first few pages, how wrong I was. A story of discovering one’s true self […]
The Bad Twin by Avery Scott My rating: 4 of 5 stars THE BAD TWIN is a story of mistaken identity (in case you missed that in the title). Good twin vs bad twin. Good being on the straight and narrow, bad following her whims and doing what she wants to with no regards for […]
Rebel Jewel by Natalina Reis My rating: 5 of 5 stars REBEL JEWEL is the third and final story in “The Jewel Chronicles” and I think it is important to read each book in order. All through the series there is amazing world building and character development. This is one of those series that I […]
Rogue Wave by Gwyn McNamee My rating: 5 of 5 stars Book 2 in “The Inland Sea Series”, ROGUE WAVE picks up where SQUALL LINE left off. As there is a continuing arc, I recommend reading this series in order. “So I’m alive?” “All your breathing and talking suggests that.” “Am I gonna make it?” […]
Collision by Nicole Banks My rating: 4 of 5 stars COLLISION is Book 3 in the “Shattered Hearts” series and it should not be read as a stand-alone. As with the other books in the series, it is told in multiple POVs and there is a lot going on. It is full of suspense and […]
The River Fairy’s Wish: A Lyrical Fairy Tale by Cyrena Shows My rating: 5 of 5 stars One of the beautiful things about KU is that I get to read the book to the “littles” in my life without having to go to the physical library all the time. THE RIVER FAIRY’S WISH is one […]
Truck Stopped by Manda Mellett My rating: 5 of 5 stars TRUCK STOPPED is the grand finale’ of the “Satan’s Devil MC Series” This whole series has had ups and downs. Some characters I have liked better than others, a few I actually didn’t like at all but their story was so compelling, I had […]
The Traitor, An Underground Bad Boys Series by India Kells My rating: 5 of 5 stars THE TRAITOR is book two in “An Underground Bad Boys Romance” series and can be read as a stand-alone. Fast paced in both tone and time line, this terrific story is readable in one sitting. Told in third person, […]
Not So Wrong by Renee Regent My rating: 5 of 5 stars NOT SO WRONG is Book 2 in the “Love Grows” Series and can be read as a stand-alone.

Miami Days Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell My rating: 5 of 5 stars Top Five Reasons MIAMI DAYS, HAVANA NIGHTS Is a Five Star Resd 1. Seamless transition from past to present and back again.

The Time Traveler’s Magic by Anna Applegate My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hmmmm… This is another of those books that the blurb sounds amazing, the cover is gorgeous, the premise of the book is one that I’ve read and enjoyed before, but there was something about it that just didn’t enthrall me like I […]
Surviving Wrath by Gwyn McNamee My rating: 5 of 5 stars DO NOT READ THIS SERIES OUT OF ORDER!!! Ok that headline is a little shouty, but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you read this series out of order.

The Fisher Men X-ing Lines by Rebel Nicks O’Dey My rating: 5 of 5 stars Loving these “Fisher Boys”!!! This story is a stand-alone and I am sure you will want to read Book 1 because this series is THAT GOOD. This is a witty, fast paced story with emotions, family, friends, romance and redemption. […]
The Confectioner Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series by Claire Luana My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read these as individual stories and waiting for the next story to drop was painful at times (I can be a little Veruca Salti-sh at times. These stories are full of all the things that make a […]
A Divided Mind by M. Billiter My rating: 5 of 5 stars “I talk to myself, doesn’t everybody?” POWERFUL POWERFUL POWERFUL Did you know that the National Institution of Mental Health (NIMH) has a helpline you can call.

Eternity by Sarah Biglow My rating: 4 of 5 stars ETERNITY is is the final book in the series and I think it should be read in order as each book picks up where the last one ended. The entire Captivity Series flows quickly from the beginning to end. It moves quickly with the continuing […]
Monty and the Monster by Rhonda Smiley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Super cool story about a kid who doesn’t feel like he fits in or has friends. He is always the new kid in town and doesn’t make friends easily. So of course he creates his own best friend. This is one of […]
Out Bad by Janice M. Whiteaker My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was a little frustrating for me. It takes so long to get to the reasons why the MCs feel and deal the way they do. The events for both main protagonists are openly alluded to and we get to see their […]

Ice Crown by Kay L Moody My rating: 4 of 5 stars “ICE THROUGH THE FINGERS, FIRE IN THE VEINS” This series of novellas is set up like YA Chapter Books. I am hopeful that the series will roll out quickly because I am anxious to figure out what is going on. Told in single […]
Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel by Linda Bennett Pennell My rating: 5 of 5 stars I enjoyed this story from the very first page. Told in dual time periods, the author does an amazing job going back and forth in a very seamless way. While each element is thoroughly explored and discussed, it is […]
Regency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady by T.L. Clark My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m not usually a huge fan of Regency Romance, yet I enjoyed the narrative in this story. There are several threads all interwoven through the story and they unravel at a great pace. The character development, the story line, […]
