This book is such an interesting read from the moment you pick up the book. It was much more intense and in-depth than I expected from the blurb, which pulled me in, in a way that I did not expect. I connected with the characters with ease and wanted to know so much more about them. It really felt like I went on their journey with them. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really like the fact that I was so surprised by this book. Having read so much, it really does take a lot to present me with something I wasn’t expecting, but that is exactly what this author did. I am really looking forward to seeing what else she has to offer.
This book is a great addition to the Detective Dylan series and I think has to be our favourite one so far. Dylan is a great character to read about and, as a family, we always seem to become so invested in his adventures. For me, what made me really connect with this book was how engaged my son was. He thought the whole thing was so entertaining and has insisted on reading this book multiple times already. This series was our first introduction to this author but she is slowly working her way into being one we have to read more about. This book was a pleasure to read and we are already looking forward to more fun adventures to come.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is book 3 in the series. Each book can be read as a standalone however, it’s best to read in order so you don’t have any spoilers from previous books.
This books is about Coach Bowman’s adult daughter Chloe Cooper who recently became a widow and the best goalie ever who is currently with the Storm Chasers Nikolai ( Niko ) Drugov. Nikolai is going thru a rough custody battle with his ex wife over their daughter Ayana. He currently needs to find a nanny to show he has proper childcare for her. Chloe and Niko shared one kiss on Toronto which could’ve led to more if he didn’t get a call from his lawyer.
Niko didn’t know she was coaches daughter until they get back home but they seem friendly enough and she offers to help him out as his nanny until he finds someone he trusts to care for Ayana. She ends up being a live-in nanny when there is a flood at her place. Of course she keeps flirting with him but he does well keeping his distance until he can’t take it anymore. They both agree it will be casual and nothing serious.
Both are on board with that until one of them isn’t. Will they be able to remain friends when Chloe moves back into her place or will they grow apart and regret their time together. Another great read in this series. Cannot wait for more!

The perfect mix of spice, romance, and drama. The character development and pace of the story was perfect and kept my attention from the first paragraph.
The story takes place in Braebeach and follows Ash Chambers (up and coming rockstar) and Calla Bryson (university student) as they rekindle a past friendship leading to a summer romance. They quickly realize what they wanted to be just a fun summer fling was becoming way more than either of them intended. Calla and Ash both had a crush on each other during secondary school, however due to a mutual friend they never acted on it. They now have a chance to see where their relationship could go. Calla’s life starts to change as she discovers she has a brother, and the band Ash is apart of is about to take off. Will they be able to manage their relationship with the distance, outside forces plotting against them, and will Calla be able to handle all the newfound attention Ash will be receiving due to the bands fame?
Be on the look out for more from Lorianna as the Braebeach Romance Series will continue to follow the lives of the other 3 band members!

The Crown of Stones by C.L. Schneider is a Trilogy Box Set and happens to be a complete set of The Crown of Stones Series. In this series, we are introduced to Ian Troy, and he is the main character who is on a mission to try to solve the mystery of The Crown of Stones.
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price is the first book in series, and this book gives quite a bit of the back story of Ian Troy and the Shinree people. We quickly learn that the Shinree people are addicted to magic, and because of their addiction, they fall into being used as slaves. Ian unfortunately finds himself in a situation where he must use his magic again which causes him to fall into the trap of being addicted to the magic. Ian struggles as he finds that he has to accept the darkest parts of himself in order to be able to fight back and help his people. To me the world building in this was complex and extremely interesting. I felt that as the story developed there were times it gave me Lord of the Rings vibes. Ian is truly an interesting character, and I was very interested in his internal as well as external struggles that he faced. I truly think that this was a great book to start a series!
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars is the second book of The Crown of Stones series. Ian Troy, our main character is back and quite honestly a lot has already happened to him! Ian is beaten down and has found himself being held prisoner. There is a two-year space from after the end of the first book, to the beginning of this book. Ian is finding himself in a rather rare predicament and now has a lot of people looking to him for leadership. Ian doesn’t know how he feels about this position, and he finds that the stakes are higher! I felt that the author kept up with the same complex, in depth and quite honestly well-written characters from the first book! There were times that I felt more emotions while reading this book, especially when I found that Ian was faced with unexpected situations. I think that C.L. brought a great sequel to the first book!
Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne is the third book in The Crown of Stones series, and we find that Ian is full hiding due to quite a bit that has been going on in his life! The resistance has fallen, and Ian is trying to decide what is the best way to save his realm along with his people! Once again, C.L. has written a great sequel to the first and second book of the series, and I honestly was not one bit disappointed! I feel that C.L. kept the same emotional intensity that he did with the previous books. I really think that C.L. ended the series very well and that no important details were left out!
In this series, we are also given an unexpected surprise of a preview of the Soulbound Journey Series. In the first book, The Wandering Isles, we are following Ian and his journey to the Wandering Isles with his friend Jarryd Kane. Prior to arriving to the Isles, Ian and Jarryd believed them to be abandoned, but they quickly realized that this thought is far from the truth! They find out that they aren’t the only magical creatures around, and it puts them into a compromising situation! All I can tell you that much like The Crown of Stones series, this is a wonderful read! I don’t think you will be disappointed with any of C.L.’s books, this is a great author who puts so much emotion and detail into the stories being told!

L. Schneider – Review by Mary Espinoza
This is the second book in the Braebeach Rockstar Romance series, which follows each band member and their current lives. Love and Fate has the perfect combination of drama, anger, grief (if death triggers you be aware this story does touch on a wife and her journey after), forgiveness, romance, and a few spicier scenes! Love and Fate follows the lives of Angie and Tommy while also giving us time to catch up on Ash and Calla’s life as well. Tommy and Angie shared a summer romance which ended in a not-so-great way ultimately leading Angie to the love of her life, Scott (Calla’s Brother). Angie, Ash, and Calla were faced with a huge tragedy which pulled Tommy away from his current girlfriend Chelsea so he could be there to help his chosen family through their hard time. Tommy’s feeling for Angie start to resurface leading him to ending his current relationship, shortly after this Tommy winds up trapped in a toxic marriage to Chelsea; after finding out she is carrying his child. This very toxic marriage eventually ends due to Chelsea not being faithful, leaving Tommy to parent Ozzie on his own. He moved back home to Braebeach where his friends (Ash, Calla, Angie, and the other band members currently live). Tommy never really lost feelings for Angie, however due to circumstances the timing has never been right. Will Tommy’s divorce and decision to move be the start of something more for Angie and him or will their timing never be right? Crying, laughing, irritation, anger, and happiness; If you want to feel every emotion possible within a short time this is the book for you!

Sarge: Going Deep Is an action-packed sci-fi adventure that continues the adventures of our main character Sarge, who we were first introduced to in previous books ‘Sarge’ and ‘Mission 3047’. This story tells us more about Commander T.J. Madison, AKA Sarge, and delves into his personal life and past struggles. Through it all, he has managed to persevere and overcome difficult challenges to become a Navy Seal. In his newest adventure he is joined by some of the characters we met in previous books as well as some new characters. The author has put his heart and soul into this unique story that is full of quirky and interesting characters, strong female protagonists, drama, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, top secret missions, covert ops, UFOs, and alien encounters. This is a captivating read that will draw you in and keep you hooked until the end.

The first quarter of this book is devastating. However it truly does capture several different ways people handle grief. It has captured raw and real realities for some and pulled out some horrifyingly traumatic truths. Throughout the book Tommy’s strength, resilience and love for the people he cares most about shines bright. Getting over the death of Angie’s husband, Scott, destroyed her and despite how much he loved her Tommy put it aside to make sure the surviving wife of one of his closest friends was okay in the best way he knew how. He offered space when it was needed and always made sure she knew he was there. Dealing with Chelsea was a whole different can of worms. Marrying her when he felt like it was the right choice and giving her chance after chance to do what was right despite all she had done to destroy her relationships was admirable. It speaks to his character growth. Calla, Scott’s sister and Angie’s best friend, was the rock every person needs. Despite mourning the death of her brother she was there for Angie from the beginning. She always had the best interest at heart for her best friend and it truly marked what a best friend is. Angie faced what was thrown at her with grace. Sure she had her moments but I can’t imagine going through all that she had and be the best version of myself at all times. She went at her pace to process everything that had been thrown at her and made sure her obligations were tended too. She showed so much tact and strength in the face of a gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking situation. While Tommy and Angie were slow to come together their stories were unique and it was very worth it. This book is captivating and emotional.

Heaven Only Knows was a really sad book. It started with a massive tragedy and ended with love. The characters felt real and the pain in their stories completely plausible. The tragic story of love lost and the deep pain it causes struck a chord in my heart. The inability to let go of the happiest memories of a person after their death all too real. Unconditional love was shown in many ways from Lou’s life choices after the death of Jacques to Barrett’s final declaration and grand gesture. The Louisiana swamp land feel was present, at least it felt that way to an outsider like me. The landmarks explored and true disasters Louisiana has faced added realness to the book that tethered reality to the fiction. The heartbreaking truth about what different families can look like and how hard it truly can be to see the side from the other point of view was captured. The familial love between siblings/parents and the fear attached to those cast aside by their own families a true testament to how people see the world in adulthood. Lou’s calm nature and desire to help others with compassion and communication derived from her own harrowing past.
This title says it all! It indeed IS Cool to be kind.
I read this book to my 3, 6 & 8 year olds and it held their attention. My 8 & 6 year olds loved the illustrations and the story. We continued our discussion after reading the book about other ways we could be kind in our neighborhood. A great feel good book for kids.

An enjoyable and engaging romantic comedy which kept me happily turning the pages. When pro hockey player Niko shares a passionate kiss with Chloe in a crowded bar, he didn’t know she was his coach’s daughter. However, having realised she’s off limits it’s proving harder than he thought to resist her. Nico is embroiled in a custody battle for his young daughter as well as coming to the end of his hockey career. Meanwhile, Chloe is a widow who is starting a new chapter in her life, whilst trying to ignore the annoying signs of impending middle age. Having decided to focus on fun and adventures she continues to flirt with Niko and show him her own impressive hockey skills. Chloe becomes Niko’s daughter’s nanny when he needs to prove to the judge that he can take care of her. With Chloe moving in and filling the house with her vibrant personality and fun energy, she’s soon winning over both Nico and his daughter. I loved the likeable and relatable Chloe and Niko and their chemistry sizzled off the page, leading to some steamy scenes! I loved the developing relationship between Chloe and Niko’s daughter. It was particularly nice to read a romance where the main character, Chloe is in her 40’s and slightly perimenopausal, as this made her a very realistic character, and one who I could relate to.

HOLY COW THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!! I want to be a character in this book! I loved everything about it! Fantasy mixed with paranormal and suspense! The best part for me is that the group of amazing women in this are over 40!!! It’s so refreshing to read a book with women I can truly identify with, minus the magic! If you’re looking for a read that will keep you turning the page because you have to know what happens then this is it!!! I look forward to the next one in the series and following this group of friends as they navigate the darkness we can’t see and the darkness we can!
I am not sure how to feel about this book. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is nice. Its about a girl who stands her ground when it comes to a bully and does her best to push forward, even when the odds are stacked against you. It also teaches you to be nice to a bully. Now- for the part that makes me iffy…. And this may be because of where I live… but the thought of a bunch of kids chasing around a piglet just irks me. It also talks about the injuries the kids get from chasing the kids, and even has an illustration of the little girl with a black eye from the piglet.

This was a quick easy read that shows not only big dreams and ways that you can be kind but small ways every day to be kind. From helping to carry groceries to showing someone how to tie their shoes to just being nice to someone when others aren’t. Kindness is free and deserved by all. Bright colorful illustrations help grab your attention in this inspirational read on daily ways to be kind, and beyond.

This is a great collection of the first two books in the London Detective Agency series. They are Mistaken Identity and Be My Baby
Mistaken Identity This was such a thrilling read that was action packed right from the start. The twists and turns in this story kept me hooked and the chemistry between out two main characters is recognisable from the beginning and sizzles throughout the book. This is also the first book in the London Detective Agency Series so I can’t wait to see what else the author has in store for us.
Evelyn was all set to embark on her new life and adventure but a accidental collision with another person and picking up the wrong bag has changed her plans and added a whole level of danger to her life. The problem is the woman she collided with and that she looks almost identical to is a lady on the run. As a witness for PI Patrick Miller against a crime family she decides to flee. However in doing so she has now placed Evelyn in harms way. When Patrick catches up to her the chemistry and attraction between them is instant but he knows has to protect her from the family who are looking to get rid of the witness against them. Together then now need to work together to bring this family to justice while making sure the Fitzgerald crime family don’t get to Evelyn.
This story is action packed and fast paced. I enjoyed how the romance between Patrick and Evelyn was slow burning in the background of this story which only made it better. The characters are both well written and likeable. Both are strong in their own way and I loved how Patrick was focused on getting justices, you get the feeling that even if there wasn’t chemistry between him and Evelyn he would still protect her with everything he had. I am really looking forward to reading more.
Be my baby This is the second book in the London Detective Series. After enjoying the first book I didn’t hesitate in picking this book up and I wasn’t disappointed. This is a romance suspense filled with drama, intrigue, danger, and investigation.
In this story we meet Tessa. She goes to the London Detective Agency for help when she starts to recieve letters and photographs. Knowing she has a potential stalker on her hands she enlists the aid of PI James Moore to get to the bottom of this. As they start to solve this case the chemistry between them also heats up.
However James has made it a rule of his that he doesnt date clients so what will that mean for the attraction between James and Tessa. And as they get closer together what will happen to Tessa’s stalker. The stalker is determined to have Tessa all to themselves so how will they react as the spark between Tessa and James grows. Will this lead them both into a dangerous situation with targets on their backs, or will they be able to stop the stalker in their tracks before they go too far.
Wow I can’t believe I have never read anything by Evias before! This book was absolutely amazing! Following Alice and friends while they navigate different parts of Parsa evoked almost a nostalgic feeling of being a teenager again! As someone who used to be in the archery club at my highschool it made me really happy that Alice was an archer. Evias is an author to for sure look out for! With wonderful characters and a solid fast paced plot The Discovery Of Magic pulls you into a world you don’t ever want to leave! I cannot wait for the second book!

What a fun and unique prequel! With only sixty-six pages this paranormal romance flew by. Acheron and Errapel deserve the happiest of ever afters and I hope Naomi Valkyrie expands on this intriguing world she’s created! Even though the book is short she includes tons of details and vivid imagery in her writing! I would love to and need to know more about Valkyrie’s amazing world!
I’m so happy that The Discoveries of Julia Xero got a book 2 and I finally got to read it! What an amazing main character! Following Julia through her perilous journey has kept me on the edge of my seat! Gloria Oliver has such a fun and engaging way of writing that makes you feel so close to the action! Here’s to hoping for a book 3 and more adventures with Ms Xero!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was really well written and so descriptive to where the characters feel like my besties and the whole thing was being acted out in front of me. Being able to just lose yourself in the book but not feel like you are reading more like watching a movie unfold, is amazing. I wasn’t able to put the book down because I had to see how things went and what happened next. There are points where it is almost like watching a tennis match, where your head whips from each side of the court, because you are caught up in who will the leading female choose. Each of the crushes have amazing qualities but you also get to see a little ugly because let’s face it, when it comes to a little competition, there is always some ugly. It is in those ugly moments where you feel for the characters and the book becomes more real to the reader. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. I would highly suggest this book to anyone looking to be entertained and have an escape for a little bit, this is where they should go. I can’t wait to read more from this author because if they are anything like this book, I won’t be disappointed. Reviewed by: @bbohls

What do you get when you combine magic, a strong female lead and adventure? A masterpiece. Once I started this story I could not stop. Alice and her friends were very intriguing characters and you can tell the author put a lot of thought into each one. I enjoyed the different perspectives. I cannot wait for the second book.

This was an amazing story and I’m so glad that I had the pleasure to read it. This isn’t your typical rom com. It’s a bit more real. Del is hurting. Deep down pain, guilt and shame. She’s lost who she is trying to be who everyone wants her to be. She constantly snuffs out her own light. She is a widow who hasn’t gotten over her husband’s death and blames herself for it although it wasn’t her fault. She’s full of fear and anxiety. But she has a huge heart. She’s smart, resourceful and great at her job. Ben is more than the celebrity on screen and may be the perfect guy for her if she lets him in. Honestly the story couldn’t have ended any better. I highly recommend this book.

I was hooked from the beginning. The premise of fighting the ‘predator vs prey’ idea is transformed with this story of a bunny who decides to fight back. Unfortunately for her, societal norms dictate that prey is all that they are so Anastasia is cast out from her home. I think what makes this book more unique is the post-apocalyptic aspect to the story and the anthropomorphic quality to the animals as the main characters. The story itself is fast-paced and packed with thrills and adventure.

As advertised, this book gives five strategies to help college students become more productive. In this day and age where we are bombarded with distractions, this book was a lifesaver for me! We all struggle to stay on track when we first enter college and are hit with deadlines. This book provides students with relatable anecdotes as well as the five strategies that I feel really make the book relatable. This was a relatively quick read that was much easier to follow than most self-help books I’ve read.

4 Stars A Safe Place (Philly Heat Series) by Becky Flade
A Safe Place is the sixth book in the Philly Heat Series and is a Romantic Suspense that will have you turning the pages till the end. There are plenty of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. There’s betrayal, tragedy, drama, suspense and so much more. I don’t want to give anything away so with that being said I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

I do recommend starting at the beginning because this author does such a great job world building and character building that you don’t want to miss out on any this beautiful story! Anxiously awaiting book 5!

Started this book and got hooked. As a social worker Maddi gets temporarily custody of Kat. Maddi has to keep Kat safe till her brother Nate can get guardianship. Nate is in the military. Nate and Maddi have a strong attraction. Kat has been through so much in her short life.
Reunion is the first book in The Hellgate Chronicles by Jocelyn Lindsay. As this appears to be the debut novel of Jocelyn Lindsay, I really didn’t know what I should expect from her writing, but the intriguing cover caught my eye, and the blurb held the promise of a great, supernatural, action-packed adventure- so I took a chance, snapped up a copy and dove right in. This definitely made me think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer having to deal with the Hellgate (Hellmouth) opening again, returning to town after decades away- but now she’s hit her midlife and is a bit of a lonely, cynical, and jaded mess. After closing the Hellgate decades earlier, Meg thought she was done with her hometown, but now things are stirring again, she returns to do what she does best, kickingbutt. But things are never quite that simple…. So, get set for an action- packed adventure where Meg deals with the paranormal, while grappling with some ‘real’ life challenges along the way. Looking forward to continuing the series. Happy Reading…

I read this book with my two sons – D (age 6) and S (age 3). This book talks about the joys and fun of having a little brother.
A review from an actual kid: D (age 6) – ”My little brother annoys me sometimes, but I do love him a lot like the brother in this book.” S (age 3) – “I love my big brudder!”

I have been seeing this series circulate my social media pages and book review group, but I thought that it wouldn’t be of interest to me because of the age group targeted, and myself not having anything experience wise to relate at all, but how wrong I was. I ended up picking up another Marika Ray Novel, and I loved it, so when I saw this book come up again I immediately wanted to read it. I now have to play catch up with book 1 and book 2. I started with book 3, and while there were references to previous books in the series and the characters were the same, the main characters were the focus of the story, I still would recommend reading the books in order, although I didn’t feel lost or anything, I definitely felt like I was missing out on vital information. Night Sweats and Hockey Mets has a few familiar tropes such as grumpy/sunshine, the ever popular hockey star, both parties fight their attraction, single dad needs a nanny, but also some fresher tropes as well like characters over 40, plus size and confident, etc. Between Nikos random Russian sayings, and Chloe’s confident flirting I found myself laughing out loud at the banter between the characters. I also found myself truly not enjoying Peyton and her attitude. This was a wonderful read, a fun, cozy romance, and you can’t go wrong with a Marika Ray novel and now I’ve been introduced to a new author, Sylvie Stewart, as well.
