I absolutely loved both books. I truly started using British words and slangs because I felt I was living in the story; I got that into it ! So well written, original, funny, so much character development, twists and turns, it is a must read!
Such a cute love story in both books also, which is also a huge plus 💗 Hope you all love it as much as me
The book starts out rather slow but don’t worry that will change. We first meet Alice and her friends and get a peek into their lives. Alice is trying to win an archery competition and scholarship. She hopes that her parents won’t want to make her move if she wins. An innocent afternoon at the park changes everything for them. The friends are transported through a portal to Parsa. What follows is a great adventure full of action, drama, danger, and magic. This book is a wonderful start to this series. Even though it starts slow the action and drama help to keep the story building throughout the book. Can’t wait to see where this series will take us next.

5 Stars Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance (Fall Lake Ballers, Book 1) by Isla Vaughn
Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance is the first book in the Fall Lake Ballers Series. Just when I thought I couldn’t love this authorany more than I already do bam she knocks this one out of the park. I’m a huge fan of Sports Romance that has secrets, drama, little bit of danger and Fate relationships then this is a book for you. I pretty devoured this book in one afternoon because I had to know what was going to happen next. One thing I can about this author is they add just the right amount of danger and twists and turns to keep you guessing till the end. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give up to much. This is a must read. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

This book had me laughing out loud every time I read it. The banter between the two characters was incredibly. I loved that Chloe was honest and raw about her previously relationship, that isn’t seen in many books. I loved that she was not only able to admit it to herself, but was able to say it out loud also. I also loved that Nikolai was able to do the same about his relationship with Peyton. I have read all three books in this series and I have loved all of them. You are able to read this as a stand alone, but some of the characters are introduced in the previous books. I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a good, quick read.

Another enjoyable and entertaining mystery featuring private investigator Jorja Knight. Her latest case appears to be routine, proving a husband’s supposed infidelity. However, when the mistress turns up dead she worries that her investigation may have led to the death. Jorja is then involved in the murder investigation having been hired by the defense lawyer. The more she discovers questions are raised about the accused’s innocence. Whilst dealing with personal crises Jorja unearths secrets in the victim’s past, and discovers more deceptions and deadly motives. Jorja is determined to expose the killer and uncover the real motive, even if the person she’s defending is the one who pulled the trigger! I loved being back with our smart, gutsy heroine Jorja as she investigates another intriguing mystery. The fast paced storyline with plenty of plot twists kept me hooked throughout.

4 stars Allan is a unique storyteller, especially when his characters are facing overwhelming challenges. *Spook Squad* is the third book in the Abbey series and follows 14-year-old Abbey, who possesses extraordinary gifts (or a curse), alongside her best friends Kelly and Lexi in this high-stakes adventure. I really enjoyed *Class Clown*, so it was a no-brainer to one-click this book. I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series to understand more of Abbey’s backstory, but they can also be enjoyed as standalones.
In this thrilling paranormal YA tale, you’ll find danger, drama, suspense, mystery, and humor. In a world where communicating with ghosts is the norm, searching for dangerous artifacts is the main challenge, and strong-armed federal agents keep the Spook Squad on their toes in an action-packed, fast-paced adventure that you won’t want to end.
The characters are well-developed, relatable, and a bit quirky. Allan’s narrative makes it easy for readers to visualize Abbey and her surroundings. You might think twice about reading this with the lights off—or maybe you won’t!
Abbey knows she is lucky to have her best friends by her side, as they support her even when spirits come knocking and chaos ensues. Will they find what they are searching for before the evil Manfred Krug catches up with them?

5 stars This is the third and lastly final episode in this gripping series Things Unseen. I am sad to see the series end but look forward to more from Anise. You do not have to read them in order even though they could be read as standalones. There is too much you are missing out on if you don’t. Anise Eden gives us a psychological thriller at its best. Dead Late is a dark psychological romantic thriller with lots of suspense and had me just as addicted to it as the first two books. This is a dangerous and deadly world our characters suddenly find themselves thrust into and broken promises made just to survive. It’s a world that goes far beyond what one can imagine, one where the reach is far and wide. Anise has cleverly thought out and masterfully crafted a complex and intricate web of well executed threads. What is waiting for them in the dark? Whatever it is it had my heart pounding and on the edge. There are lies, deceit, danger and tension that is palpable and deadly games are being played. Step between the pages if you dare.

When I saw this book was available, I instantly looked forward to getting to know more about this character. I enjoyed the first book he was in and this one certainly allows you to expand on your knowledge of him. I connected with the character again with ease and felt like I just got straight into the story. I almost forget these books are science fiction, as I get such an action / adventure feel to them. But I think that makes me enjoy them even more. I was pulled into the story and found myself really engaging with everything going on. This was a great follow up to the first book.

This is yet another fantastic addition to an already great series. I find it so easy to reconnect with this character each and every time. I love that each of her adventures are so different to each other and yet they all have such similar feel to them. This was a really exciting book. I think this one is my favourites of the series so far. It action packed right from the start and I was pulled in so easily! The story got more complex as it went on and I felt myself being taken on the journey with the characters. This author has created a great series and I am already looking forward to the next.

Just WOW! I am so glad my family is old enough to look after themselves cause they sure had to while I was completely hooked on this book. I just could not put it down!! Brynn wants answers about her sisters death and while searching for them finds journals detailing her sisters lifestyle she kept hidden. She uses that info to slowly tip toe into the lifestyle to see if she can find out more to help her solve this mystery which in turn sees her more drawn to a particular Dom than she ever expected. Adrian is that Dom and he is filled with Demons!! I don’t want to say too much more because you really need to experience all the greatness of this book yourself. The Authors are just so damn talented. I need book 2 ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

Railway to Murder was my first book by this author. I don’t normally go for westerns but I’m really glad I did. The characters were realistic and I really like the historical accuracy. It’s a super easy ready and I enjoyed it.

Finally, a book with a grown adult woman! So refreshing! Midnight Deception follows the story of Sabrina Henry, unassuming Executive Secretary to billionaire CEO Brent Fraser by day, and MC of The Gilded Lily nightclub by night. When Brent’s former colleague turned nemisis tries to bring down Brent’s company, he and Sabrina work together to unravel the villain’s plot before it destroys everything Brent Fraser has built.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I loved that our FMC was in her 40s instead of a barely-adult who has somehow developed the emotional intelligence of a 35 year old. There was a little, realistic spice. Nothing over the top. Definitely a good place to start if you just want to dip your toes into sexy scenes. The writing was good, if not a bit repetetive. There are only so many times we can read about the storm brewing in a man’s eyes before we suggest medical attention, right? We get it. He’s full of unresolved emotional trauma. Perhaps some therapy for Mr. Fraser. But that dark and brooding attitude is a little sexy, so it’s fine.
I would have liked a bit more development in Brent’s backstory, and more of the double life of Sabrina at the Guilded Lily, because the plot rushed by pretty quickly. Another 50 pages, and I think this had the potential to be a 5 star read for me.

What wonderful story! Enjoyed the story, characters and the fact that there is downloadable material for classroom learning. It was quick read and any beginning reader can read.

“Unexpected Revival” by E.L. Roux is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that blends space opera, romance, and high-stakes action into a fast-paced narrative. The novel follows Shannon, a woman who wakes up after a thousand years in cryogenic stasis to find herself in a future far beyond her comprehension. With no memory of how she might have contributed to the destruction of Earth, Shannon must piece together her past while facing a looming planetary threat that could annihilate life as she knows it.
The premise is immediately gripping. Shannon’s disorientation in this futuristic world is portrayed with relatable confusion and determination, and the gradual unraveling of her involvement in humanity’s demise keeps the tension high. Roux’s world-building is vivid, presenting a future filled with strange alien species, corrupt corporations, and secrets waiting to be uncovered. The novel offers a sense of immersion in its space-faring settings and futuristic technology, all while maintaining a strong human element.
One of the standout elements is Shannon’s dynamic relationship with D’lane, a cat-like alien who initially comes across as intimidating but evolves into something much more. The slow-burn romance between the two is delicately handled, providing an emotional counterbalance to the book’s action-heavy plot. D’lane’s internal conflict, torn between his duty and his growing feelings for Shannon, adds depth to their connection, making their interactions engaging and believable. While the romance adds warmth to the story, it never overshadows the larger stakes at hand—saving the galaxy from another catastrophe.
The novel does an excellent job of blending mystery and suspense, especially with the overarching question of Shannon’s forgotten role in Earth’s destruction. The tension is compounded by enemies lurking in every corner and a corporation that may not have Shannon’s best interests at heart. As Shannon and D’lane race against time to prevent another planetary annihilation, the plot delivers several twists and turns that keep readers hooked.
However, some readers might find the pacing uneven at times, with sections that feel rushed in comparison to others that delve deeper into character development and world-building. While Shannon’s backstory and the larger mystery are compelling, the resolution might leave readers wanting more in terms of clarity and depth regarding some of the novel’s grander themes.
Overall, “Unexpected Revival” offers an exciting and emotionally resonant ride through a future filled with danger, intrigue, and romance. E.L. Roux has crafted a space adventure that is both fun and thought-provoking, with enough twists and emotional stakes to keep readers engaged until the very end. It’s a great pick for fans of sci-fi with a touch of romance and those who enjoy stories of forgotten pasts and uncertain futures.

Amazing book ! Loved the story from this author. The lessons learned from this book, dream big, perseverance and creativity, just to name a few. I read this book to the grands and they can not wait for me to get more from this author. The illustrations we absolutely perfect, the characters were well developed and the theme was spot on. Will be recommending to others with Littles.
Ian Troy is a Shinree, a race of magic addicts whom have been taken into slavery, drugged and made to forget their history, identities and their addictions, but Ian was brought up differently, he was brought up to be a soldier for Rella, a kingdom in a perpetual war, but underneath is an innate talent for wielding magic which he wishes he could use more, but the Queen forbids it, until one day, in the midst of the latest battle, there is an earthly upheaval and during the throes of it, Ian starts to feel the vibrations of magic nearby. As he searches for the item, Ian is unaware of the power he is about to unleash, so when he finds the Crown of Stones, all he can feel is the magic within it, the pleasure and the pain combine and block out all sense and all he wants to find is peace, so he casts using the magic he has found, however, it isn’t until afterwards that he realises the price that he has just paid to achieve that wish.
As the years pass, Ian is devoted to another addiction, regret, his regret for what happened and the losses he still feels, so he tries to drown the pain and the need to cast with wine, women and bounty hunting, but as he is chasing his latest target, he is confronted with something entirely different. He has been chasing this particular woman for what seems an age, however, when she finally confronts him, nothing is as it seems and he is thrown back into that seamless addiction he had ten years before, but this time, Ian is not sure that he can control, or curb it again, but that is not the only thing that has him worried, this encounter has made Ian sure that the Crown of Stones is being sought by another.
As he makes his way back across the realms to Rella, he encounters more than he bargains for in both the people and the places he travels through, but deception surrounds him, as does magic and that is the one thing that he does not want. Will Ian be able to get to the Crown of Stones before anyone else has the chance to use it with nefarious intent, or will the danger and his addiction prevail?
Magic Scars.
Ian Troy is back and he is numb, everything has been taken from him, his memories, his magic, his will and his freedom, as well as the freedom of his friends. As everything slowly and painfully returns he is recruited into a desperate rebellion against the High King Draken, a long time enemy of Ian’s.
He is tasked with the job of retrieving and repairing the Crown Of Stones, an object he has used in the past which creates the magic scars which cover his body, it is an artefact of his people which is now lost again, but which is needed to overthrow the High King. Ian is reluctant to use it again and put himself in the path of addiction his use of magic causes, but he knows he doesn’t really have a choice in the matter if he is to save his scattered friends.
What he cannot understand is why his scars are multiplying even though he is not using his magic, this is where he learns about his ancestry and the secrets which have been buried in the past, but can Ian reconcile the man he was, the man he is now and the man everyone needs his to be?
Magic Borne.
Ian Troy returns and he has more magic scars than ever, but when his spells show him something he was not prepared for, he has to think about his past, present and future and base his decisions on the uncertainty surrounding him. He is still a fugitive, thanks to his past castings, but he is now wanted in multiple lands, as well as by his father, but he still tries to make the world around him a better place, even though as usual, it doesn’t always go to plan for him, or those close to him.
While he is casting spells to find out what his father has planned, he journeys to different times and places, but not all the answers he seeks are available to him and while on one of these journeys, he experiences a bleak future where everything he has worked towards has been thwarted. The resistance he has been routed, the tenuous relationships within it destroyed and nearly everyone he knows is dead and all hope that was there is now gone, so when Ian returns to the present, he is determined to stop this future in its path, so he uses the knowledge he gained while there to do this.
Meanwhile, tensions build between the lands of Mirra’Kelan as peace treaties are stretched to breaking point and political posturing is showing people’s true colours and is leading the armies closer to the return to the brink of war between the lands. Ian is also realising his increasingly apparent transformation his casting is causing, so he tries to stave off from casting in an attempt to buy himself some time, but as he searches the past for a way to defeat his father, bring peace to the lands around him and break the transformation the Crown of Stones is causing, he has to battle his inner demons too.
How far can Ian go before he breaks and how big a sacrifice will he be willing to make in order to reach his goals and will he be able to pay the price demanded?
This series is a race against time in a fantasy land where good versus evil and all the grey areas in between, as a reluctant hero faces the past and future in order to save a world which he struggles to merge with. A world where apartheid rules, magic is both life, death and currency and those who wield it are both saviours and destroyers. An epic aventure where one man has to face his demons head on in order to find the peace he truly desires, is what you will only be able to find by reading this addictive, roller-coaster of emotions until its conclusion.

The Keeper is the first book in The Fall River series by G.K. Brady. This book features an enemies to lovers romance that is on par with a Hallmark movie though with a little more spice. It follows Noah, small town bar tender and big time heartthrob, and Hailey, large city dreamer and county inspector. The love/hate relationship between kitchen inspectors and restaurant owners is well known. What happens when they start to see eye-to-eye? Find out in the small town of Fall River and meet the people you’ll be waiting to see again in the next book.

This book does a great job in showing kids that there is a reason behind every bully. Beefy’s reason is jealousy due to his parents not being there. You find out that even though his parents give him everything he wants, he really just wants them to show up. This also gave ideas on how to help deal with a bully situation, which include asking for help and pointing out the good. While this does have a simplistic solution as to why Beefy is a bully and how the problem is solved it does relay a good message to kids.
Reunion is the first book in The Hellgate Chronicles by Jocelyn Lindsay. It labels itself as an over forty urban fantasy novel but that doesn’t do justice to the unique book found here. As highschoolers, Meg and her friends saved the world from apocalypse at great costs. Now, 25 years later they are midlife and mid-life when the unthinkable happens and it is time to save the world again. This book was a thrilling read with plenty of relatable situations even if you’re only edging on forty and not in charge of stopping evil forces.
A Tale of Two Crushes by Cori Cooper follows Holland as she enters a new school and discovers not one but two hot guys in a matter of days. Coming from a smaller town, Holland is not used to running into guys that she hasnt known since kindergarten and are interested in her. Things get complicated as she navigates life in a new city, new friends, and brothers?! This book was filled with quirky characters and a relatable heroine. I found it to be a pleasant afternoon read that was perfect for a clean romance.

I wanted to read this book because I can relate to feeling confused about your identity, especially as a child. Sheeba Varghese explains this really well at the end of the story, and delves into a little bit of backstory, history, and culture, but I wish we got to learn a little bit more and possibly have some stronger character introductions. I recommend this book because it could help children of colour better understand their identity, and other children learn about a different culture. The illustrations by Tori Tilahun are beautiful. “We are not just Indians today when we were these fancy clothes. We are Indians every day.”

This story was a lot deeper and more serious than I thought it would be, but I really enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next book. Kylian is the main character: star football player at the local college, mom is going through cancer treatments, and politician father who just wants to use him in his campaign. He has a lot on his plate and finding Gia on his boat is another one or could be the answer. Gia ran away from an abusive ex and is hiding out in a new city on a boat that has been empty. Yes, it is Kylian’s boat and he catches her one night when he takes it out to clear his head. They strike a bargain, she gets to stay on the boat if she pretends to be his girlfriend then wife to make his mom happy as she is dying. They are trying to make it work, they are getting to know each other, and Gia is getting to know his mom. Then Kylian’s father tries to ruin everything and Gia tries to call off the deal. This book had great twists and turns and was not all happy and sunshine, but I truly enjoyed it!

I read a book by this author earlier this year, so when I came upon this one, I picked it up immediately. They deliver a compelling narrative that blends high-stakes adventure with rich character development. Shannon is our main character who came out of a cryogenic stasis, finds herself grappling with her forgotten past and looming threat of planetary annihilation. The tension between her and D’lane grows immensely and leaps off the pages. Both characters go through their own evolution, but Shannon’s is my favorite. She goes from a confused and vulnerable figure to a determined protagonist willing to confront her past. The plot twists are well-timed, keeping me on the edge of my seats as alliances shift and the threat of annihilation looms ever closer.
Overall, this was an engaging and thought-provoking read that blends sci-fi romance, adventure, and a touch of mystery. Fans of sci-fi will find themselves eagerly turning the pages, ready to uncover the secrets of the past and fate of the galaxy. I’m excited to see what else this author has in store for us!
This was my second encounter this author, and I was pleasantly surprised by their venture into a slightly different genre. The shift was absolutely refreshing and I found myself more engaged than ever. One of the standout features of the book is its pacing. The shorter chapters create a rhythmic flow that makes it easy to get lost in the story. I found myself eagerly turning the pages, eager to see what Buck, our main character, would encounter next. Buck’s journey is captivating as he stumbles upon a series of intriguing mysteries that unfold with just the right amount of suspense and intrigue.
The author’s writing style elevates the reading experience. It feels more immersive rather than just a leisurely pastime. I was drawn into the world they’ve crafted almost as if I was living the adventure alongside Buck. If you’re a fan of Westerns infused with mystery and adventure, you’ll certainly enjoy this book. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to dive into a thrilling read!

Bradbury – Review by Shannen Kern
This is such a heartwarming story!! Things are not always as they seem and sometimes people project things differently because of how they are treated by others. In this story, Beefy has good things happening but he’s mad. Really and truthfully, he’s probably more hurt. He takes these feelings out on others instead of directing them towards the offenders. When the foster sibling crew get ahold of Beefy, they learn a lot from him, and they from him. Love, courage, and friendship can never be over rated!

I’ve read books by Anise Storm before although, I’ve never read anything by Taylor Ray, but I wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. I would definitely check your trigger warnings before beginning this book, but if it ticks all your boxes, pick it up. Shadows in the Dark was a quick, sizzling, mystery read that was full of spice, danger, and a secret BDSM club. Brynn and Adrian may be lost, haunted, and dark, but will they act on their chemistry, and can they come together emotionally, instead of detached and purely physically? I liked the book, but didn’t enjoy the cliffhanger at the end.

Ray – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz
This was a great 5 star read. This genre is one of my favorites and I really enjoyed this book. I was pulled in right from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down until I was done. I really like Adrian and Brynn and I can’t wait to see where their story goes. You could feel their chemistry coming off the pages. I don’t want to give too much away but will highly suggest this be an adults only read. Wowza on some of the scenes. I can’t wait to read the next book in the trilogy. If you like BDSM with some darkness this will be perfect for you. 1-click and get started today.

Ray – Review by Michelle Austin
A Safe Place is book six in the Philly Heat Series. As someone who has read all of the series so far even though they focus on a different couple and can be read as stand alone novels I always like to read everything in order. I can also attest that Becky Flade is a consistent author and this series continues to be intriguing, keeps my interest, keeps me on the edge of my seat, and full of anticipation. There is a lot of suspense, murder, and it tugs on your heart with the foster child aspect. You get some sweet romance, but it’s not overly spicy, which can be a good change from time to time. Another great addition to this series.
