My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a book that really held its own! I was captivated when I first began to read, and it held me all the way through! It was impossible to put down! The writing style flowed nicely as well!

The story had a very interesting appeal. I could not put this one down or let go of it! The book had its strong sense of appeal as you read. The characters and the interactions are what made this story for me! Haunting and strong willed as I read. The story was convincing and I enjoyed how the author made the point of views. It was a wonderful read and I happily enjoyed it all the way through!

Wonderful read that brought on a lot of intrigue! I could not be happier with how this book was. A must read for sure, and one I certainly highly reccomend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I felt everything within this book! I could not ask for more, I do love sport based romances and this one simply nailed everything that it held within its contents! Wonderful characters as well.

The main two characters, were very relatable and realistic to me. I loved how easy they talked and seemed like they were living body people that you could run into in your daily life adventures. Sometimes with business and pleasure, there is a line that can be crossed, and when it does, holy moly! The book built up the story nicely and was engaging all the way through. I very much loved this must read romance!

Exceptional writing that flowed ever so perfectly. I was very much invested in the story as well as the characters. Could not put it down! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moby plays the flute was a very inspirational story – perfect for a kid who seems to be struggling with a task. Moby does not realize how important playing the flute is and the life lessons it will teach her. However, it takes her over a year to realize how important it is to stick with something and to keep trying, no matter what!

This was hands down one of the best children’s books I have read in a very long time. It includes facts within the storyline and makes the lesson of sharing/caring fun to read! Every mom will go out of her way for her own children, but what if someone just dumped a child with you? How would you feel? How would you react? This story shows how Mama Warbler handles this situation with grace and teaches her neighbor how to be grateful for every situation – even when it means doing twice the amount of work.

Grave Digger Academy IIGrave Digger Academy II by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am immediately going back now to start book 1, this was such a good, fun and interesting book.

MaKayla is going into her second year at Grave Digger Academy, and like her, no one was able to transfer out. The inter-academy games are this year and the Academy HAS to win to keep their doors open, so it’s probably better to already know each other. The games start and it becomes obvious quickly that something strange is happening. (As I have not yet read book 1, a lot felt a bit strange but it was all very interesting and fun)

Very cool writing, very cool read, and I’m looking forward both to year three as well as learning a bit more about the characters in book 1!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. The author does an amazing job with the character and how they mix fantasy with modern day makes this a story that is magical. I also loved the way the author uses the culture that Hassan is born into in a way that makes it easier for a reader to understand why he is struggling with the choice of doing a job that is high paid or doing something he loves that allows him to be the creative person he is.
I also love the connection and attraction between Hassan and Yasmine.
I love that Yasmine encourages Hassan to be anything he chooses and when she opens up her world to him that’s when he really comes alive.
However this story isn’t all sweetness and magic. There is a danger that surrounds Yasmine and when Hassan goes to a ‘job interview’ and meets Victor that danger becomes more obvious and very real.
As New Years Eve approaches Yasmine introduces Hassan to a world he never believed existed and turns his life from a boring daily struggle to one of excitement, danger and magical beings that only live in books and nightmares.
Will they be able to escape the people trying to get Yasmine? More importantly will Hassan be able to survive the night?

It was an amazing adventure, there were twists in the story I didn’t see coming and it kept me glued to see what the author would come up with next. It was a very captivating read that I couldn’t put down.

A Cuckoo bird lays her egg in another bird’s nest. The bird doesn’t mind and keeps it. The neighbor bird says to get rid of it. I couldn’t really choose a quote for the bird.

Highly recommended for Kids and Family lovers.

This book shows that people change for the better as they grow older. I am glad Beck was able to find a good friend in Jacqueline.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful. I read this while recovering from surgery and let me to you no matter how tired I was, I wanted to keep reading.
The story follows Hester, and from the start we are made aware that she is different from those around her. She yearns to be a healer and seeks to do so through herbal practices. Her mother and brother do not like this snd they believe her to be a witch, and believe that forcing her to marry someone from town will help her settle and be normal. Marrying is not something that she wants, especially the person that her family has chosen for her.
At some point she meets Aaron who also knows a lot about healing with herbs and teaches her some things. Including the name of the River that continues to call out to Hester since childhood. The River’s name is Sabrina and she seems to be trying to guide Hester through life towards a goal.
I love that this isn’t just a happy go lucky whimsical story. The treatment of Hester during her time period is very realistic of what women went through back then. And the author did an amazing job of merging history with fantasy. 5/5 stars from me. Please grab a copy now!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very interesting read. This is not my typical go to genre, but I was easily sucked into the story. Vandal is a tech turned Chevalier, and I won’t lie, I had to look up what the word Chevalier meant, and I think Vandal turned out to live up to the name. He didn’t really want this for his life, he would rather stay and repair and work on the tanks, but it seems he has a skill of going fast and being able to control it. His friendship with Rocco is great and I really like to see Rocco always having his back. Colonel Swift on the other hand, irritated me, and I was happy to see in the end, basically Vandal and the way he handled himself in the fight, rubbed it in her face that he is not the worthless tech she thought him to be. Very imaginative and creative!

Great, short read. Kendall is very annoying at times, I feel like she I pressuring Chad to admit things he doesn’t want to bring to light and forcing him to reveal secrets and come out of the shadows. It seems she is just worried about her career and showing up her co-worker who thinks he can do her job better. Chad on the other hand, he doesn’t need to be so tight lipped especially because reading, we can tell he is already falling in love with Kendall, so why not take a leap of faith. Kendall’s dad Rich is my favorite character, he is a great father to her, and tells her like it is when its needed. He know the secrets Chad keeps but will not divulge the slightest hint to help her career, but still very supportive of both of them. The ending was sweet and I was very pleased. I loved the romance, drama and all the main characters.

Quick, great read. It was nice to watch Samuel come into his thirteenth birthday and everything that was to happen for him now that he hit “manhood”. Watching him get invited to participate in the Passover rites, I could tell he felt like he was now accomplished. His chosen scripture of Isaiah 53 is the perfect passage to have read for what was to come, and it is so cool that he was drawn to that passage to come into his manhood. Samuel and the Rabbi then discover that the rumbling and disturbance while they were at the Temple was caused by one of the most important moments of all time. I really love that in the end the author asks for anyone who believes to repeat the prayer and be saved.

This is a book in a series, but can be read as a standalone – the love story of Ella and Jared. Ella and Jared are in a push/pull relationship. They are attracted to each other, but yet not. Throughout the story, we learn about Ella and Jared understand why they act the way they do – the fact that they both want to be part of a relationship but are afraid to take the risk to fall in love.

Ella struggles with her feeling for Jared because he isn’t kind to her. Jared isn’t kind because he is fighting his attraction toward her. It’s like if he pushes her far away, then he doesn’t have to worry about her rejection.

But what happens next? Trapped in a storm they have to come to terms with their feelings, but will they last past the snow melt?

This is one of the most entertaining books I’ve read. Annie, Cat, and Robbie have a story that will keep you engaged and eager to know what’s coming next. There is one main story and several little plots going on. I love how they all tie together so that things are flowing together smooth and easy to follow. The chemistry between Annie and Robbie took a little bit to ignite but it did finally come along. Robbie reminded me of a high school kid with a crush. Of course, with Delooney as your mentor, I’m not surprised. The man needs a new mentor. Finally, the romance kicks in. I loved the drama, the humor, adventure. The contest was fun to watch it develop. A really cute and fun story that took a weekend to finish ( I did have a child that needed sustenance, lol.) You must read this one. A worthy read.

What a fantastic story! Hassan took us on the ride of a lifetime in this urban fantasy tale. I found it intriguing, engaging, exciting and quite enthralling. The characters were developed to be the most delightful creatures out of your imagination. That doesn’t mean good but just fanciful. The storyline was such a surprise because I wasn’t expecting an urban fantasy (nope, didn’t read the synopsis.) I loved the flow. You went from normal story right into the fantasy. Great job and I look forward to reading more from this author. New author to me and a new favorite. Highly recommend

This fantasy was definitely different from the normal fantasy that I typically read. But it was different in an amazing way. Centered around a coming of age character with plenty of amazing support characters, magic, witches and more I simply couldn’t put this book down. This book was just perfect it was fast paced, and intriguing while the plot was full of originality and a uniqueness. So if you need a new read then look no further then this one

Chad and Kendall are two people that fight the chemistry they obviously have. She’s a sports reporter. He’s a hot MMA fighter. This is an entertaining, sports romance. The drama unfolds as Kendall’s just trying to find a way to keep her job. The characters are well-developed. I can just picture walking into a gym and meeting them. They just feel so real and down-to-earth. The plot line flows smooth. The humor has you chuckling, even as a few twists are thrown in. There’s even an appearance by a “Dick Tracy” wannabe, lol. A romance read that’s perfect for that chuckle you may need. It’s modern, contemporary and I recommend you buy it.

When the FBI asked me to do this undercover job, I never thought I would be lost in a sea of darkness, I have been in this world for so long that it may consume the last bit of humanity out of my soul but having to do this job he has sacrificed so much and so many people will he be able to love again.

I have my world on track, everything is going brilliantly until I see the person who broke my heart all those years ago, but he still has the draw he used to have, but I don’t know him anymore he lives in the shadows. Can I put myself those the torment again to have the only man I only ever really loved.

I have to say I have read a few books by this author and this book does not disappoint, the chemistry between these two characters jumps off the page and I was drawn into their world. The characters compliment each other brilliantly with the sass and fire from Evelynn and the dark moody side of Damian this just adds another depth and element to the story.

From the start my heart had a little space for Damian, as a child being dragged around state to state by his father just wanting to stay in one place long enough to make some friends was hard to read, but through the book you saw snippets of light when he meets back up with Evelynn was just a joy. I hope that some of the mini plots come off as books as I would love to see conclusions to some of these stories. As always can not wait to read more.

Curse of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 2)Curse of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

~Elf Lord Kingdom~

This is the second book in the Kingdom of the Elf Lords series. The author continues this saga with the very loved characters heavily dipped in Norse Mythology. In my opinion, this story is very well-developed, and a little less confusing (for me) than the first book. All of the background has been set for us to fully enjoy the 9 worlds and characters in them. Very gripping uniquely spun fantasy that transports you once again into a realm you wont want to leave anytime soon.

The author delivers suspense, disappearances, and of course strained familial bonds. In this tale you have shapeshifting, different creatures like; Fae (and dark Fae), wolves, undead, among many others. Of course… there is romance, in a sort of enemies/lovers way and secrets relationships.

Our beloved Emilian being forced to do what he doesn’t want to do, but is obligated to do over and over again. He is easily one of my favorite characters, and I’m always shocked by his choices, he’s not the easiest man to read.

Can Emilien and Hel work together long enough to save the very fabric of the nine worlds, or will they let their humanity lead everything to ruin? Can Shalendra ever find it in herself to accept her destiny and forgive her father? I wasn’t disappointed, and will need to read the next in this series to find out!! In addition to that there are so many other stories by Heidi Vanlandingham I’ve found I may need to add to my reading list. Thank you so much for such an excellent continuation of this series, what a thrilling read!!!

Lab Spill (The Cool Thing Series Book 2) by Robert Rife. This is the best dark comedy, sci fi read. I loved this first book so I was so excited to read this one. It can be read as a standalone. Just like in the first book this one is no different with lab experiments gone wonky. These experiments leave us with crazy mutants and all kinds of misadventure. All the great characters are back from the first book along with some new ones. This read is twisted, weird and full of murder, mystery, monsters and tons of craziness. Once you pick this book up you will not want to put it down. If you don’t like dark, twisted comedy this might not be for you but I loved it. Can’t wait for the next one!

The whole thing, every book in the series is an amazing read. World building, depth of characters, and “keep you on the edge of your seat” plots!

#4

Finally Elena and Marco!! This is the fourth book and while you can jump in here, you will miss the lead up to these two characters. A lot of background is covered in previous books. So the Mafia is tough and the Mafia sons are even tougher, but these Mafia daughters are no joke. They have not just seen the danger, but lived it. You immediately know when they are strapping weapons to their thigh that things have gotten out of hand before and they learned to be prepared. We know Elena’s name. She was often referred to in the other books but now we get to know her. She was definitely my favorite. Danger, secrets, and loyalties collide. I could not put this book down!

#7
Wow, this plot…it’s just fantastic! I mean we have a mafia princess, a human trafficking ring, and a marriage of convenience. What’s not to love? Mia is taking charge of her life. She decides to get away from her father and the human trafficking, but she knows that will be the ultimate betrayal. She needs protection so decides to go to her family’s rival. She approaches Nico with a proposal of marriage. One that will benefit them both. Nico is the epitome of quiet strength. Their arrangement may be of convenience but their chemistry is undeniable. The author’s grasp on this subject is absolute. She is queen of mafia romance.

Unveiling Beulah Audiobook by Dana Wayne – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

/0 Comments/in , /by

I really enjoyed listening to this story. Beulah has moved to a small town in Texas after her grandmother passed away. She buys a merchantile store with the money she inherited and it is her new beginning. She moved from New York as she felt unwanted there not only by the people she thought were her friends, but her own parents. Poor Beulah grew up thinking and feeling like she was ugly due to a scar on her face received during an accident. This especially seems true to her after a broekn engagement to a man that didn’t want her just the fortune she would eventually end up with. The only person that ever showed her unconditional love and support was her grandmother. Lucian ended up in the small Texas town two years prior to Beulah. Although they didn’t know each other their families were in the same social circle. They both have a lot in common as they will soon come to find out. As their attraction grows both parties start to open up and reveal their pasts but are both afraid of getting hurt. Soon enough the people they were trying to get away from come barging back into their lives unexpectedly. Will they be able to keep budding romance alive or will their pasts be too much to overcome?

Overall this was a great read. I liked both characters very much. Dominic was a hot alpha male, he always seems to get what he wants. Gemma is great, she challenged Dominic and was strong herself. The chemistry between these two came off the pages. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
