My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wooowza Author Sylvia Black is amazing. Always keeps you guessing, everytime you think she’s gonna zig she zags. The Masters of the Consulate books have everything you’re looking for when it comes to the supernatural, Witches, Vampire, Shifters etc.Since I started on this one, I’m definitely going to go back to read books 1-3 before the 5th book comes out in October.My only problem is that I should have started this series sooner 🤣🥰. I’m looking forward to reading the other characters’ stories.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Haunted Christmas by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Erin DeRoma

Notebook Mysteries Haunted ChristmasNotebook Mysteries Haunted Christmas by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just love this cozy mystery series. Another Notebook Mystery I couldn’t put down! Have you ever started a series, or collection from an author and nothing lives up to the first book you read and loved? Well don’t worry because this is NOT the case with Notebook Mysteries by Kimberly Mullins. I read it in one sitting, I just couldn’t put it down, there were twists with every page turn. Such a fun mystery that leaves you guessing but doesn’t make you terrified to turn out the lights. I am giving this a 5/5, I can’t wait to get my hands on the next Notebook Mystery. I think Ms. Mullins hits it right out of the park with the setting in the 1800s Chicago. The added details of the recipes from the story are fantastic! I can’t wait to attempt the German Apple Cake with the apples my girls bring home from Apple Picking. Highly Recommend for Mystery Lovers of all ages.

River Witch by Cheryl Burman – Review by Nakyshia Leger

River WitchRiver Witch by Cheryl Burman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A beautifully written tale of magic and lore. We all hear tales from our perspective areas while growing up. Every place has at least one mystic tale. I love that this author took that and brought it to life. My great grandma was known as a “healer” when I was growing up, so some aspects of this story really hit home for me.

Hester is an ambitious girl, full of life and wanting more than just working on a farm. She is told stories by her father of a grandmother accused of being a witch because she would heal others with herbs. Hester hears the voice of the river, Sabrina, speak to her and finds herself wondering of the possibility of bringing that magic back and helping those that need it. She meets Aaron, who also speaks to the river and knows how to heal with herbs. Aaron has a dark past and is reluctant to help Hester, but does so at the insistence of Sabrina. Together they go on a beautiful journey of self discovery and growth.

This story flowed from the first page to the last. From darkness and heartbreak, to light and laughter, I felt it all as I was engulfed in the story. When I had to put the book down, I would find myself thinking about the characters, wondering what the pages would bring me next. This is definitely a beautiful read.

Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire (Forerunner Series Book 4) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Ayla Eddy

Kara Shieldmaiden of Eire (Forerunner book 4)Kara Shieldmaiden of Eire by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The series only gets better and better. Book four does not hold back from delivering the same page turning adventure from each of the past books one to three. Reading the books in order is recommended, but there is a detailed recap at the beginning of the book to cover what happened thus far in the series. Each book adds more depth into the lives of the different characters and the world in which the story takes place. Set in the early time frame of the British Isles and Scandinavia with all the details to transport you back in time to this world of long ago. There are Vikings, witches, adventure, magic, love and war. This book centers around Kara and her arranged marriage that she journeys to escape from. Becoming a shieldmaiden and learning all what it really entails to be a warrior. Karl, Sorven, Thorfinn, and Cub each continue on in their own journeys. A must read series that I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!

My Bronc Riding Cowgirl (My Cowboy Series Book 6) by Brooke May – Review by Jenni Bishop

My Bronc Riding CowgirlMy Bronc Riding Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My Bronc Riding Cowgirl is a contemporary romance story set in the world of the rodeos/circuits and horses where real Cowboys and Cowgirls exist.

Being the daughter of a legend has its pitfalls. She just wants a chance to show her talents to the world she has grown up in. She just has to show she has what it takes to be seen in what has been a male dominated arena. But do read the books in order. Can she show she is more than her father’s legendary ways?

Brooke has given her readers another intriguing and interesting read that is easily read as a standalone as is most of this series. I always enjoy the worlds and characters that she brings to the table and it is the latter that always brings the story to life.

If you love a good romance story with the dangers of a competitive sport then you will like this one.

This was a new author for me to read and enjoy, certainly I know for a fact now, I will be looking forward to reading more by this author! The writing style was easy to read, and very light and refreshing!

I loved this story, it was a light hearted read, yes, but there was so much to it. Of course I will read anything under romance, throw in animals, and you know I am sold completely. I loved the author did a good blend as if making a good smoothie, you had romance moments, stressful moments, and moments where you did not know where the characters would end up as you turned the pages. The story and intrigue, and moments where you HAD to know what would happen next after the events. I very much enjoyed the author’s writing style and the story and characters they created. Look forward to reading more!

Wonderful read. I felt it was refreshing, like the smell outside after it rained. Definitely a read worth reading. Highly recommend this book as well as the author. Both are a must read Author has gained a new fan!

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

I swear I could not put this book down, I was hooked all the way through. I was left wanting more, hoping for the best for the main 2 characters, and constantly in suspense! Such a read full of intrigue!

The first book was amazing, do not get me wrong, but this one I feel had already established character characteristics and you knew who everyone was. So things happened at a much faster pace. The intrigue and wonder was there as I read. I had to know what would happen to characters as I read. The writing style was perfect as it could get. Would not change a thing. THE book gripped me and held me. The story, as I said went at a good pace, and ended beautifully which I loved. I’m very excited for the next installment!

Great read. Great installment. And one heck of a writer/author. I cannot get enough, seriously! This is a book/author/series I very much recommend. Do not pass up. Definitely a must read all around!

Euphoric Wonderland by Ryan M. Becker – Review by Codi Parham

 

Amazing work. I loved the prose and amazing use of language. Phrases like “night so mare” really speak to me. Also speaking about butterflies soaring in the “azure sky.” Just incredible. Then again, I’m a dreamer- but I’m not the only one.

Tori Foster has dreams she keeps to herself until the time is right to show her talent. Her father Justin Foster is a legendary bronc rider. Cord King is just starting his rookie season and doing quite well. His father is also a legend. Both want to make it out in the bronc world. This may be a man’s sport but can it stop Tori? There is also Cord. Can he coexist with a woman in the field of bronc riding? Better yet can these two get along as well as resist each other? This author has opened a new genre for me. Cowboys and Cowgirls what a great story this was. I love the strong woman Tori portrays. The fast paced story will keep you reading and the next thing you know The End appears. I have read many books from this author and have enjoyed everyone. Now I must go back and read the other books in this series.

I enjoyed reading this book. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed how they were able to pull me into the story by using realistic details. This is a well written story that is about greed and forgiveness. A story about a fisherman’s murder and the person who took his life. The guilt that he felt keeping the secret. I enjoyed the growth of the characters as well as the growth of the plot throughout the story. This is a fast paced, engaging story that was hard to put down. This is a great story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up by her. I enjoy her writing style and her attention to details that make her stories pop. This book is no different. It is book two in the series which is just as great if not greater than the first one. This is a well written story about a new group of students at the academy and they are about to learn there is so much more about this academy than meets the eye. I enjoyed how the characters are creative and unique. They kept the story engaging and made it hard to put down. They have great growth throughout the story as well.

Master Romano (Masters of the Consulate Book 4) by Sylvia Black – Review by Karyn Taylor

Master RomanoMaster Romano by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the fantastic Masters Of The Consulate vampire romance series. I want to say it’s my favourite in the series so far but maybe that’s just because this one is so fresh. I know I loved the first three too but I read them one after the other several months ago, and maybe my old memory isn’t allowing me to remember well enough. But hey, I’ll go ahead and say this one is my favourite…so far!
Raven is a reluctant witch who just wants back to her ‘normal’ life and not be forced to attend a witch academy where she has the fact that vampires are the enemy drummed into, even more so by her aunt Devora, a very powerful witch. So why is she so drawn by Master Romano, a very powerful vampire, one of the masters of the consulate who her aunt hates with a passion. Vampires and Witches are not meant to fall in love. Heaven forbid! Or is that Hell forbid!
I adored Raven and Romano’s story and I absolutely loved both of them as characters. Raven is far from your typical witch and she’s extremely sassy. Romano is just a HOT alpha male who makes you tingle in all the right places. The sexual chemistry between them is explosive and you just know there will be fireworks when they finally give in to one another.
This is an amazing series that I’m loving so far and I can’t wait to read more.

My Bronc Riding CowgirlMy Bronc Riding Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Read this if you:
*Like Rodeo’s and romance
*Appreciate an independent, strong willed female protagonist

Meet the Author: Brooke May spends her days writing and her evenings reading while she works alongside her mom. From a young age she has told everyone who would listen what she had thought up. Now a mom of two, she splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and hiking, hunting, fishing, and four wheeling in the Bighorn mountains.

Synopsis: Tori has big dreams! After practicing in secret, she is ready to saddle up and show the world what she is made of. Cord, in his rookie season, is trying to live up to the hype of his father. Both families are well known in the bronc rider community. Will these two young riders keep their head in the game or will thoughts of each other cause the focus to become cloudy?

Reader’s Thoughts: My Bronc Riding Cowgirl is the 6th installment in the My Cowboy Series written by Brooke May. Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. This is the first book I have read by May, and I am hooked. It excites me to know that it is the 6th book, meaning I have many more to go back and read! This was a quick afternoon read for me but kept me wanting more. The characters were loveable, and the relationships never felt forced. May put a smirk on my face with the scene on the plane with the matchmaker grandma. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, especially sports romance.

This book was very much enjoyable from the start to the finish! I love shape shifter reads, but this one really had a sweet essence to it, as well as characters you were rooting for! A very enjoyable read!

I found Wednesday and Ryker the most sweet and cutest thing since cheesecake! I loved how they were best friends, and how he was a panda shifter. Wednesday reminded me of myself, always trying to figure everything out and analyze things, but sometimes when it comes to the heart, the mind cannot analyze what could potentially be true love. I really had a great time with this story, I loved the characters and loved the author’s writing and how they created the story. I will be for sure be reading more by this gifted author, as this book certainly has gotten be hooked! It was impossible not to love this book!

Remarkable reading and an intriguing as well as, sweet story line all the way through! This is in my books as a must read without a doubt, and not one to be passed up for any reasons whatsoever! Highly recommend!

I loved you yesterday is a great romance book. Mavis went through something horrible and hasn’t seen her high school sweetheart Josh in ten years. The story is all about second chances with your first love. Mavis and Josh find their way back to each other, which is satisifying to a hopeless romantic like me. Their relationship changed over the years for the better. I love that the book talked about a miscarriage because not many people talk about how that affects women. That is a very real issue that a lot of women have gone through. I loved you yesterday is a book for people who love romance movies and sappy love songs.

Love Rei, love seeing her find her place in this one, and take flight. i loved her character development in this one. The book continued where we left off and only took off more from there! I loved also how family oriented Rei was, she was roped into something she did not want to be a part of, and no way in hell she was going to let that control her as well as put her loved ones in danger. The book had more wonderful creatures to visualize and wonder about. I was intrigued all the way through and could not put this one down!

This author is amazing at all the paranormal and books they create! I can never pass up a book by them! I always must read it as soon as I can! Loved this must read author/book/series! Highly recommend!

Her struggle being the youngest of her six brothers and the pressure she feels to get into the “right” school is so relatable. Her drive to understand, even in a place she doesn’t feel she’s supposed to be is really cool too. The friends she makes, the teachers, her helpers, every character is interesting and there is something about every single one that kept me wondering more about them as I read this beginning of Makayla’s journey.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother RomanceBattling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a enjoyable romance. It is a step-brother romance but it also has a feel of enemies to lovers too which gives the story a bit of a twist and makes it a read that’s full of angst and fire.
The characters were well written. Beckett is your typical rich kid who gets what he wants. He is a character that is written to he hated and at first with the way he treats Greer hate is definately what you feel towards him but through the story we see that change.

Greer has her whole life turned upside down when her mum moves them into a new home with Beckett and his dad. The feelings of hate are strong from Beckett the moment they meet. Greer is a quiet girl who doesn’t want the constant drama. All she wants to buckle down and succeed
However with Beckett making her life hell and the addition of the mean girls at school this is going to be no easy task for her.
Things get ever more complicated when Greer starts to develop romantic feelings towards Beckett.
Will she act on them or ignore them? Will Beckett ever treat her like she is more than something he stepped in? And what things get hard and Greer is in danger will he step in and protect her or walk away?
It is a fast paced romance full of angst and tension. The chemistry between them is felt through out the story even though at first it came across as hate. As a reader it was nice to actually see and feel the change.

4 Stars

 

Friends With Benies: An AMBW Paranormal Romance is the seventh book in the Paris in Springtime series by T.B. Bond. I didn’t realise when I one-clicked myself a copy, that it was the seventh book in the series…. but thankfully it can be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing anything by not having read the previous six books. But it has made me curious about what has happened in the first six books, and wanting to ‘meet’ those characters- so I will probably go on a bit of a book binge soon to see what they contain.
This is my first ever AMBW witch and her panda shifter best friend story- so I was really curious to see where the story would lead. It turned out to be a sweet and romantic story where two best friends-with-benefits finally take a chance on forever love- after some help from their meddling relatives and a romantic singles cruise in Paris.
There is plenty of humour, fun, and antics along the way- as well as some adventure, angst, and drama to balance things out. All while their chemistry steamed up the pages along the way.
Looking forward to exploring the rest of the series.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, T.B. Bond!

Emma (Notebook Mysteries, #1)Emma by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is what I am talking about! I have read a couple other installments in this series, and was blown away by the authors ability to teach the reader a thing or two of the history of Chicago, New York, and a few other places and things throughout the creative stories of Emma, Dora, Tony, Tim, and Papa of course. I love the narrative in which their stories and the novel is told, and because of all this, I find this series to be a very healthy addiction, to say the least.

Now that I know the true beginnings of this family, and what occurred to have Emma develop within the other installments, it makes me want to read the entirety of the series over again, as I am thoroughly enjoying her character, am able to relate to their family, the character development and world building is very well done, as always, and it makes me want more. I look forward to spending more time cuddled up in blankets learning, and aching for these folks over and over again. Will be recommending to those looking for a solid historical mystery!
