Falling for You by Libby Kay My rating: 5 of 5 stars Falling for You was such a cute book. I loved it more than Falling Home, the first book in the Buckeye Falls series, which is saying a lot. This series gives me a Gilmore Girls feel- the small town, where everyone knows everyone. […]
The Thieves by Susan Specht Oram My rating: 4 of 5 stars The Thieves left me feeling similar to Shore Lodge, another book in the series. I can’t really describe it, a feeling of incompleteness…. They are stand alone and non-overlapping characters. This book, while exciting and entertaining, ended too abruptly. The wrap up was […]
Shameless Love by K.G. Fletcher My rating: 4 of 5 stars Shameless Love is the 2nd book in the Bennetts of Langston Falls series. I did not read the first book, and still enjoyed this, however, I felt like I was missing quite a bit of backstory. The focus of the story is on Elyse […]
Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ale’s Fair in Love and War was such a good book. It was a good romantic comedy, that had me laughing out loud. The story focuses on a back and forth pranking between Hollis and Cash. They both are small […]
Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin My rating: 4 of 5 stars The cover art drew me in. I don’t think I even read the synopsis of the story, but really loved the cover art and spooky feel of it. Straight for the Kill is the 3rd book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery […]
Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram My rating: 4 of 5 stars Shore Lodge was a good book that kept me engaged. It is a story focusing on Jacklyn Stone, a widow trying to re-center after the loss of her husband. Like all deaths, she is feeling off kilter, but also […]
Grace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines My rating: 4 of 5 stars I know nothing about farming, milking, or cheese production. That being the framework for Grace Uncer Fire had me questioning if I would enjoy it. But I took the chance and glad I did. The book was a little slow moving, but it […]
Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn My rating: 5 of 5 stars Savage start was so so good! I hardly put it down, finishing the same day I began. The author is wonderful at creating a story, characters and a bit of mystery with the plot. We […]
True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager My rating: 4 of 5 stars Upon reading the description of True Colors, I thought it would be good for my 13 year old. I wanted to read it first, to see how it approached the topics outlined. I really enjoyed the story line, and it was relatable to […]
Chatroom with a View by Glenn Maynard My rating: 3 of 5 stars I went back and forth if I wanted to read Chat Room with a View. I liked the synopsis, but it also sounded kinda creepy. I ended up giving it a try, because I kept coming back to it… I had a […]
My Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats My rating: 4 of 5 stars I had no idea what this book was about when I opened it. I just really loved the cover art. That being said, I have mixed feelings about My Pearl Heart. The first half of the book I was really annoyed at what […]
Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee My rating: 4 of 5 stars Night Hawke is a prequel to the Hawke Family Second Generation series. I have not read any of the others and it didn’t seem to matter. The author did a really good job of giving you just enough information to draw you in and […]
Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari My rating: 4 of 5 stars Underboss’s Retaliation is the 2nd book in the Dark Mafia Romance series. I did not read the first book, and still enjoyed this one. I could tell it was an ongoing story, and there was references to previous events. However, the author provided enough […]
Falling Home by Libby Kay My rating: 5 of 5 stars Falling Home is one of the cutest books I have read in a while (and I love that it is a clean romance). It is the first book in the Buckeye Falls series, and I am so excited to see there will be a […]
Revenge Never Rests by Laurie L.C. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars Revenge Never Rests is the 2nd book in the Tallie Brown series. It picks up shortly after the first book finished, which I was happy for. Tallie had a bomb of information dropped on her in the end of the first book, […]
Secrets Never Die by Laurie L.C. Lewis My rating: 4 of 5 stars Secrets Never Die is the first book in the Tallie Brown series. The book is pretty complex and has a complicated storyline. In the beginning I was really confused, and struggled to follow the story. The characters don’t seem to be related, […]

The Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book Four by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read The Sneaky Kitten to my 6 year old. He said it was strange, but good. He loved the pictures and kept pointing things out in them. He remembered Caspian from previous books and now wants to […]
Amaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt My rating: 5 of 5 stars My son and I really enjoyed Amaleigha and the Big Idea. Before we even got to Page 2, he stopped me and said “there are so many words and I didn’t expect that. I visioned all the stuff without it being […]
Snow in Love by Libby Kay My rating: 5 of 5 stars Snow in Love is a cute winter romance story. Grab a blanket and a cup of coffee or cocoa, and curl up on the couch for a quick read. The progression of the story is predictable, but I still really enjoyed it. Connor […]
If I had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi My rating: 5 of 5 stars I found If I Had a Magic Wand to be a very cute story. My 6 year old didn’t love it. He sat through it but said they should do cooler stuff with a magic wand. Even after I explained […]
Road to the Mansfield by C.B. Laurence My rating: 5 of 5 stars Road to the Mansfield is a 3 part story. Francie is the first story we read. If you have ever heard Fancy by Reba McIntire, that’s basically the plot to the story. She is basically sent to a whorehouse when her mom […]
I Love You Today by Julie Navickas My rating: 5 of 5 stars I Love you Today is the 2nd book in the Trading Heartbeats series. It should be read in order because there is a lot of back story. It probably could be read alone, but you won’t have the full details of […]
Reckless Heart by Jane Suen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Reckless Heart is the 2nd book in the Second Chances romance series. It could be enjoyed as a stand alone book. There are crossover characters and references, but there is enough background details provided that it doesn’t feel lacking. I really loved this book. […]
Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 3 of 5 stars I love most books by this author, but we didn’t love Super Enemies. I read it to my 7 year old, and my 13 year old listened in. Both said the ending didn’t make sense, and I have to agree. The story presents us […]

Operation Blackbird by Ellen Butler My rating: 5 of 5 stars Operation Blackbird is the 2nd book in the Brass Compass Series, however, it can be read as a stand alone. There are some overlapping characters but it is a solid story on its own. This book takes place in the 1940s after WW2 and […]
