Her fiance is from a weathly family and as such she is expected to behave in a certain way. However she seeks to find excitement and gets the chance when her step sister invites her to a concert. It’s not really her scene but going to a rock concert couldn’t hurt, could it? Damien, the broody lead singer of Rebel Rebellion catches her eye. Or does she catch his? The attraction is instant and the sparks fly. Damien doesn’t have time for relationships no matter how fascinating the woman in question may be. Damien & Cadence are perfect for each other and I feel that the author made that come through the pages. The characters are relatable and likeable which makes you root for them to be together. It also makes for a page turner that you won’t want to put down. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

“Absurd” Said Bird is part of the Mouse Traveler series of kids books, but the only I have read. It is a cute and fun children’s book, with bright, colorful illustrations. There is a little bit of rhyming from each of the barnyard animal friends. Mouse has dreams to make it to the moon, and he need’s his friend’s help! They work together to build an airplane, gathering parts and pieces from a pile of trash. But, will that plane make it to the moon? Let’s see!

The only good things in her life, so she thought, were Cameron and her love for ice skating. But she even lost her passion for skating when she started being bullied. When she turned to the one person she felt most comfortable with she got quite a shock when an unknown female answered his phone. This causes her to move away which breaks Cameron’s heart. In all the years that Jessie was gone Cameron was able to pick up the pieces and move on. He has met someone new and things appear to be going well. Now that their good friends are getting married Jessie is back. Their feelings come roaring back as well. While they try to find their way back to one another there is someone who wants to keep them apart. I enjoyed this rollercoaster of a ride. This was a fairly fast paced book with lots of emotion and drama. It will keep you turning the pages and has a guaranteed happy ending. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

Murder the Tey Way is the 2nd in the Golden Age of Mystery book club series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. There is some backstory of the characters- mainly Lexie and Brian’s history, as well as Lexie and Al. But, the author gives us enough details to be content if you skip book 1. Lexie finds herself in the middle of another murder investigation. I think the author did a good job keeping the readers engaged and without revealing the murderer until the end. There is a lot going on, and new character Gayle is introduced- Lexie’s sister, who finds herself as a suspect. It is a good cozy mystery that I enjoyed reading- I’ve never read any of Josephine Tey’s books.

Sparky is back and this time with a big personal adventure… going back to school. She is not happy about the decision but she knows it will be good for her in the long run. Instantly bullies make their appearance and call her names and push her around.
After her first day of school, Sparky goes to Bookie to see if he has any jobs for her. Instead he invites her to go to Monkey Island with him. Never been, Sparky is excited to go. What kind wouldn’t love to see hundreds of monkeys jumping around?! While there, Bookie talks to a man in all yellow. He looks uncomfortable so Sparky decides to keep an eye on him while also watching the monkeys. Next thing you know, the man in yellow is dead and Bookie is accused of murder. Sparky knows that he has been framed and no one is willing to help him. It is up to her to clear Bookies name and get him out of jail. She has a lot of obstacles in her way. The biggest one is school.
Sparky is like a whole different kid this time around. She actually thinks of others and has calmed down significantly. In the past, I found it hard to like her as the main character. This time, she is more caring and sweet. She no longer is homeless and it has made a huge difference mentally. This book has been my favourite so far in the series.

Throughout this story, there is a lot to keep up with what is going on. I do like how the author goes from the present to the characters backstory to explain what Cam and Jessie went through in their relationship. The story does have a way to get you away from the real world. The main characters are very well developed and complement each other.

I had been reading psychological thrillers over the past few weeks and was looking for a book with a different level of excitement to pass my time. Enter Taste of Honey by Julie Castle. A change of pace comprised of three SPICY novellas. Each novella is approximately 10 chapters long and packed with entertainment from the first word. My favorite was the first story (The Gift) where we watch Penny’s character development as she begins to learn a whole new world. While each of the novellas have a damsel in distress type of undertone, the females were never hopeless and always palpable. Overall, this was a great series paced well with tons of spice and a great variety of spicy tropes in each installment.

Sparky is once again finding herself in a situation, figuring out why her criminal boss Bookie has been arrested on Monkey Island. Sparky is certain Bookie isn’t the murderer. It’s time for Sparky to use her wits, her street knowledge, and friends to find the actual murderer. At the same time, Sparky has not quite gotten used to the care and benefits she receives from her benefactor Tootsie and Tootsie’s employee Gilbert. The author writes in such a way that you can picture the setting and connect with Sparky.

This is the third book in the Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery series, and I think it’s our favorite so far! I have read all three of these with both of my kiddos although my 12-year-old is definitely the target audience with her ability to sit still through a couple hundred pages. Sparky is an incredible super-sleuth and such a wonderful character in the 1930s. The author painted such a vivid, detailed picture of Los Angeles in that time period and really made me feel like we were there experiencing it. Even though I am far from the target audience of teenagers, I found myself excited throughout this entire book. I highly recommend picking this up if you are a fan of cozy historical mysteries!

I’m not even ashamed to say that I picked up this book just for the cover alone, but I was pleased to find that the story inside was just as incredible. It starts out in Austin, Texas which is a place that is very close to my heart so I had hoped it would do that lovely town justice. This was a new author to me, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they did an amazing job crafting a gripping, emotionally charged novel. Josie is one of the most relatable characters I have met in quite a while with raising kids and a love life that is far from perfect. It gives off ’13 Going On 30’ movie vibes and I loved every second of it. As soon as I finish this review, I am off to pick up more from this author because everything from the characters to the entertaining time-traveling story was perfect. I highly recommend this book to pretty much everyone!

This isn’t typically a genre that I look for and I hadn’t heard of this author before, but the cover and synopsis drew me in. There is a ton of action throughout this entire book which gripped me from beginning to end. I couldn’t put this book down which surprised me as I thought I would be able to read this leisurely throughout the week. The detailed and vivid imagery captured by this author was unnerving but seemed to accurately portray that period of time in history. The abuse (SA) of a minor was difficult for me especially the first one early on and took me by complete surprise. This is an intense and emotional book that seems well researched. If you enjoy historical fiction then you will likely want to pick this one up.

Bradbury – Review by Shannen Kern
This is the second book in the Loves Ties Us series, and since I fell in love with the first one so quickly, there was no doubt in my mind that I was grabbing this as soon as possible. I would highly recommend that you pick up the previous book before reading this one, but I promise that it is totally worth it! The stories of Cadence and Damien are emotional, heart-wrenching, and inspiring. These characters are so well-developed that they felt real like old friends of mine. I should have cleared my entire day before picking this book up because I couldn’t put it down and got nothing else done! It is absolutely addicting; don’t say I didn’t warn you. This author proved once again why they quickly made it on to my watchlist and I already need more. If you are looking for a steamy, addictive romance then this should be the next book you pick up!

This was the first book I had read by this author, but the synopsis sounded interesting, so I took a chance and picked it up. I’m so glad I did because this was an incredible book! The amount of time and effort that was put into not only the plot, but into each character, is evident as no detail was left out. There are no holes in this story and every character feels absolutely real and relatable. It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me, so brace yourself for the intensity. I can’t believe I had never heard of this author before, but now that I’ve found them I will be looking out for more of their work! I highly recommend giving this a chance if you love a good second chance romance with intense emotions and marvelous characters.

In a nut shell this book is the Prequel to the Blind Rebels series and it contains some extras goodies as well. I have not read the Blind Rebels series so I found the prequel part was a great introduction to both the series and this wonderful author and her talented writing which has now made me want to read the series! The “extras” while fantastically written, they didn’t have the impact on me that I am sure they would if I had read the other books. So I will come back to this once I have read the series.

This epic war drama set during the American Revolution had me gripped throughout. Young Peter Beale is being raised in poverty on the streets of Portsmouth, and is forced into crime to survive. He is then abducted by an uncaring Naval Officer and finds himself pressed into service. Once aboard the HMS Progress he learns to cope and harden himself against the constant abuse. When the ship docks in Boston, Peter escapes taking refuge with a local couple. However, his goal is to seek revenge against his abuser. As the war sweeps across the colonies Peter finds himself fighting on the side of the Americans. A fierce sea battle brings him face-to-face with his tormentor, a perfect opportunity to carry out his goal of revenge. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written and researched American Revolution historical novel. I loved the likeable Peter who from humble beginnings participated in pivotal events in history. It was an exciting read but also an emotional one, with regard to Peter’s life and the awful suffering he endured. The historical battles in particular came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I look forward to book two!

This is the second book in The Love That Ties Us series. This is a romance with a rockstar and if full of banter, chemistry, desire and angst as they both try to fight against the chemistry they feel. This book had me hooked right from the beginning and I couldn’t help but fall in love with Damien and Cadence. They just fit so perfectly together like a beautiful piece of music with lyrics to match.
Damien is the leader singer of a group called Rebel Rebellion. Along with his career he also has a family who relys on him and trauma from his past that stops him getting close to anyone. He doesn’t have time for women and romance and wasn’t even interested until he met Cadence.
Cadence already has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is part of a wealthy family and so as his partner she has to ask and behave in a certain way. As time goes on she starts to feel trapped inside a world where she doesn’t belong. Desperate for a break she goes with her sister to a concert and there she meets Damien. The spark between them is instant and undeniable but why does he act like he can’t stand to be near her?
With things already stacked against them surely they stand no chance? Even though Damien knows he shouldn’t get close to her he can’t stop the pull towards her. With seemingly everything stacked against them and keeping them apart with they ever get their chance to find out just how perfect for each other they truly are? This book was really moving, you could actually feel the couples feelings and emotions jump right off the page. I was totally invested in their story and couldn’t put it down.

Blurring The Lines is everything you’d expect in a prequel. I went into this one, having never read the other installments of the Blind Rebels series, and now I’ve downloaded all of them to read. I am looking forward to getting to know each of the characters more and learn about each of their stories.

This is an enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense story, which kept me happily turning the pages. The quaintness of the small town setting of Swan Harbor was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative. The storyline follows Jessie and Cameron as they get a second chance at love. After Cameron saves Jessie he then captured her heart. However, when Jessie left, she left Cameron broken hearted. Years later and Cameron is ready to move on after an unexpected meeting with someone new. Then Jessie returns and their chemistry is still sizzling and they can’t resist one another. However, when the threatening messages return they realise that someone in Swan Harbor wants to keep them apart. They must decide if a second chance at love is worth the risk of staying together. The storyline had me hooked because as the mystery unfolds the suspense mounted. This was a fast paced story with plenty of drama, emotion, action, suspense, and of course romance. The chemistry between Jessie and Cameron came across in the narrative and it did lead to some steamy scenes. I love a story with a guaranteed happy ending, and I recommend picking this book up today!

Unexpected Heroes is an M/M romance. I’ve read several paranormal romances by this author in the past but this story is set in the real world without any fantasy or sci-fi elements. That said, it has many of the other themes and features I’ve come to enjoy from her work such as found family and recovery.
This is an enjoyable read for romance fans who like stories with a bit of drama and action in them. Elijah and Jude both have had difficult experiences in the past that they need to come to terms with as they realise their attraction for each other. In Elijah’s case, the problems of his past aren’t quite over yet.
The pace of this story picks up a bit towards the end, after a gentler start. I felt it left me wanting more, so hopefully there will be more books that tie in with this one to explore some of the other characters!
Unexpected Heroes gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of M/M romance who like stories with loveable supporting characters and plenty of plot to keep you entertained.

The Music That Ties Us By Nicolette Terry is the second book in the Love Ties Us series. I would say this could be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the first book either way. I absolutely ate this book up, read it beginning to end in less than a day. It’s beautifully written, and extremely relatable throughout almost the entire book. Cadence and her story absolutely resonated with me, which is probably why I devoured it! Definitely keeping an eye out for this author from now on!

This book will definitely make you cry, pulling right on your heart strings. Terry is a new author to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading her work. Worth the read and I absolutely recommend it!

This was an enjoyable read from start to finish. This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m glad I chose to dive in. This story has drama, second chances, mystery, family, friends, small town, and great characters. Cameron and Jessie had been through so much in their lives since they were young. I couldn’t help but find myself rooting for their love to conquer all. This book goes back and forth in time to bring the story together and gives us a good understanding of how everything played out. There are also other great characters in this book that are going through their own situations. This book was a quick read for me and I was entertained throughout. I recommend this book.

This collection of cutscenes and the novella gives you a deeper, richer view into this series. The anger I felt when Becka did all the dirty things she did!! Oh my! And she stopped taking her meds!!! I might not have liked Dom, but he was right about her.
This was a great small collection! I actually like this type of thing, when authors give you the extras you can’t get on the DVD. 😂
The novella was phenomenal. Add the extras were a blast. If you love this series, you will love this bonus! However, read with caution because you just might want to unalive/hurt/ma!m Becka. I know I did.

The Sins of Men: An American Revolutionary War Drama by Danny J Bradbury is the first book in The Peter Smith Chronicles. An absorbing historical drama centering around the era of the American Revolutions occupation in Boston, Concorde, and Bunker Hill. I’m a sucker for anything history based so I grabbed this as soon as I was given the chance. This book is wonderfully written, from several POV’s that make it easy to keep yourself on track and invested. Such a moving work of historical fiction, I can’t wait to see what else is in store!

I love The Playmakers Series!! And Love Rinkside is the next book I dove into. This time it’s not the players of the team but people on the outside. People who run in the player’s circles but aren’t professional Hockey players or work for the team. This author has a way of sucking one in. And if you’re like me and a sucker for sports romances you won’t be able to resist! Must love dogs! If Katie finds someone like that it’s the key to her heart. However she’s on a “manhating” adventure in her life. Feeling used in dejected she decided it was time for herself. What she didn’t expect was for Nat’s brother Drew to fall right into her lap. However despite their agreement for no strings she’s falling and falling hard. What is she going to do? Drew does things to make his sister happy. That is when he has time. So when she drug him to a mascot costume party he thought he could just do what he usually does. Sit in the corner as a loner. He wasn’t expecting the breath of fresh air Katie just happened to be. A spitfire that allows him to be himself. One problem he’s quite happy being single, however he can’t ignore the attraction. He also can’t ignore the deep feelings he’s developing. What started off as a fling is becoming much more. They are both afraid of what’s ahead of them? Neither wants to get hurt or hurt the other, but unless they can figure out how to communicate that potentially the road they are headed down. Do they admit how they truly feel? Or will it be too little too late? Again I’m a sucker for a good sports romance, and this author is a good one for that. You won’t be disappointed!!
