My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good read! I enjoyed this one a lot. It was sweet, romantic and at times emotional. This was fast paced which made it a pretty quick read. This is a great series and I love that each book can be read separately as a standalone so you don’t have to read the previous books in the series.  I can’t wait to read the next book in this series either!

The Happily Ever After Bookstore

When I started reading it felt weird reading a holiday story in July, then I kept going and it wasn’t a holiday book and I ended up enjoying it.

There were 3 stories with in the book, though individuals there are also crossed with the center being Leona and her bookstore.   That is where the magic happens.

Charlie and Sadie were just meant to be together.  They meet at the bookstore though their paths should gave crossed several times before that fateful day.

Price and Fiona kind of broke my heart.   They loved each other but life had other plans for them.  They are reunited at the bookstore after several years.

Leona the unofficial match maker has helped with at least two couples (I’m betting there were more that we have no clue about) finding their happily ever after but neglected herself and her happiness.

This was a book that warmed my heart a little and was glad I picked it up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is amazing. Nicco and Destiny are not in a rush to do anything together. Their chemistry is off the charts but they have both been badly hurt before and have no desire to experience that again. Can they find love together? Will they over come all of the walls they each have up?
After spending weeks getting to know one another, what happens next?
WONDERFUL story. Definitely worth the anticipation from chapter to chapter.

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail Order Bride by Debra Parmley – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Isabella, Bride of Ohio (American Mail-Order Brides Series)Isabella, Bride of Ohio by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella Bride of Ohio, American Mail Order Bride is not the type of book I normally read, but it sounded interested. I admit, I didn’t know American mail order brides was a thing, but it intrigued me. The topic being quite taboo, made it all the more interesting. I liked Isabella, but also felt quite bad for her situation. She has had a hard life, and she is only still a teen! I was at first astonished for her to be all alone, but then had to remember it was a different time. I enjoyed reading the book but found her very naive, falling in love too quickly. I kept waiting for something to happen. She made me think of the movie Frozen – “You can’t marry a man you just met!” But yet, Isabella met, got engaged and wed very quickly. Again, the time and situation was different then. I wasn’t much surprised by the encounter on the train but if left me wanting to know more of Tom. Who is he? What did he mean by “like a constable” but yet wasn’t one. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? The mystery behind him kept me intrigued. The author kept sprinkling more facts as the book went on, and I kind of saw the ending coming, but still enjoyed it. It wrapped up all the loose ends. The book itself was a short quick read, so I didn’t get too invested in the characters, but it was enjoyable.

Someone Exactly Like Me (Wounded Hearts, #1)Someone Exactly Like Me by Debbie Cromack

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book SO much!! The characters were so enjoyable and relatable—the reader can’t help but fall in love with them, as they were slowly falling in love with each other! TOTAL relationship goals. Magnificent feel good read. Can’t recommend it enough!

Handsome & intriguing, up & coming Italian actor, Niccolo Mancini has quite the reputation as a playboy. Indie romance writer, Destiny Cardone has sworn off men and the notion of ever finding her soul mate. When their paths cross on Destiny’s 30th birthday, the attraction is instant & sparks sizzle all around them! Destiny was aware of Nicco’s reputation and knew there was no way that someone like him would be interested in her. When they engage in a business relationship, a beautiful friendship begins to form and the facades begin to fade, but will it be enough to bridge the lifestyle differences and allow them to have a shot at that happily ever after, true love?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At Happily Ever After Bookstore, you come for a book but you get a Happily Ever After with it. Sometimes that happy ever after is in the book you’ve purchased, other times, you might just find it with someone else. Leona loves helping her customers find the perfect book, but when possible she might meddle a little more and help them find something they were missing.

When Sadie comes in looking for a Christmas Romance, Leona points her in the right direction. While looking for the perfect book, she bumps into Charlie. After both have selected their books, paid and left, they soon discover that Leona has mixed up their books! Now, on the hunt to find one another, they find themselves in the midst of match making and a holiday miracle starts to happen.

Sadie and Charlie aren’t the only ones who are finding their Happy Ever After from the bookstore either! When Fiona moves to town, she’s planning on starting over years after her divorce. When Leona discovers that both Fiona and her ex-husband Price are in the same town, she uses her skills to get them alone together. After all, it’s obvious there is unfinished business there.

Just when Leona thinks she’ll never find her happily ever after, something goes wrong with the bookstore and Jon Ford, handyman, enters to help fix it up. In no time, Leona starts to believe he could be her happily ever after but then finds out it’s more than just him she’s getting into. Is she ready to live a man and his kids with her whole being?

I loved this books set up and idea! The author does a wonderful job creating her characters and helping the reader see them fall in love. I only wish that it had been more interspersed or that each set of characters had their own book with more detail in it. The way this is set up gives more of a short story feel, which leaves me craving more.

Happily Ever After Bookstore definitely makes you believe in the magic of a good book and I’m curious to see if we get anymore of the happy ever afters that Leona has, or will, play a part in. Great writing, great premise and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Levi (The Brothers of Creekside Ranch Book 1) by Edith Mackenzie

Levi is the first book in The Creekside Ranch series and a Cowboy Romance that I truly enjoyed reading. This is a fairly new author to me and I look forward to seeing what other books she has written. This is a fast paced short story that I read in one sitting because I had to know what was going to happen next. The characters are relatable and fully developed and easy to fall in love with. The storyline flowed so well that I felt like I was apart of the story. This is a wonderfully written story about Levi and Bella. These two couldn’t be more opposite from one another but you’ve heard the saying “Opposites Attract”. One thing these two do have in common is the one thing that is keeping them from finding love and happiness. The chemistry between these two is definitely there. Find out what happens next with these .i highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is another cute story in the continuing Mermaid Science Story. I love how once again the author has managed to introduce a new scientific experiment into the story while also making it interesting as well. While this one isn’t my favorite of the series, I did thoroughly enjoy it. I love the use of the mermaid but just hate that both characters can’t see her. That’s the reason one of the characters believes it is made up. I feel that it would be a nice inclusion for all the characters to be able to see her. Once again the illustrations are beautiful and eye catching. I am sure that your kids will love this. And not to mention, it’s a great way to include another science experiment into your home.

Truth or Kill speaks to that little corner of your mind that binge watches serial killer documentaries and adds some steam just for kicks! It is a little dark, pretty twisted, and a pretty killer read. I can honestly say that I have NEVER read a book like this before! It is the ultimate version of a “Come to the Dark Side” romance. Absolutely worth it!

The love these two had for eachother was magical and beyond anything I have ever seen. I wanted it to go on forever, but I will just have to do a reread.

Maia, Fig, and Trezzie are teaching science again! This trio does a great job in such a simple way. However, Fig isn’t able to see Trezzie so things just seem to happen in front of her. Trezzie brings them a treasure that has a pattern on it but they can’t see it. With the help of a plastic box, they finally discovered that they had a trilobite, which is a fossil. The plastic box, along with some water, acted as a magnifying glass to help them see what they were holding.

I love this series and how it’s teaching simple lessons about science!! These are great books to share with your kids and grandkids. They would be great in a homeschooling environment as well.

Tom is that guy, in every way. But, he showed her that nice guys does not mean boring or geeky. I fell in love with Tom and the way he was with Chelsea.
He was nice, interested in what she needed and wanted but he could also be sexy and dirty. What women would not want that? This book gave me some ideas to go find myself a nice guy. Really amazing book.

This book is about a second chance romance. Nadia and Luke was so good to read, their relationship was so eye opening. Nadia did not do relationships and Luke was aware of this.
Nadia hired him to fix her home and all the feelings were coming back but is it going to be a repeat?
I loved this book because I understood both the charactors feelings and where they were coming from. Love and relationships are so hard and when you both have baggage it can be even harder. I enjoyed this book so much.

When Lauren’s friend Katie starts a gossip wall for the school online magazine, posts pour in about the possibility of supernatural presences at Amberwood Hall. Classmate Alfie is determined to root out the spirits, and Lauren worries for her ghost friends, Grace and Rodney. But when rehearsals start for the House Choreographics Cup, the rumors take on a more sinister turn and Lauren faces losing her best friend if she can’t find who is behind the wicked whispers.
This is the first book that I have read from this author, and it is also the third book in the series. I recommend reading the first two books before reading this one, so you will get the backstory and will understand what’s going on. But this book was amazing, and I do recommend everyone to read this series. The characters were wonderfully written, the plot is amazing also.

This is the third book in the Pierce Brothers series. Again, I was not disappointed. I’ve just fallen in love with this entire series. Mrs. Belinda Williams is an amazing writer. If you are anything like me, then you are a sucker for a good romance book, and this is the one for you. The plot was amazing, along with the characters. I love books where I can see and feel everything the character are at that moment. It’s a rare talent and its greatly appreciated when I’m able to experience a book like that.
Victoria Verity is on a deadline. Soon she’ll be thirty and out of a job unless she can turn her journalism career around by gaining an exclusive interview with Australia’s newest tech billionaire. Except there’s one small hitch—he’s notoriously private.
Seth Pierce hates people making a big deal about his billionaire status, but he knows it’s time to appoint a media adviser. When the perfect candidate walks into his office for all the wrong reasons, Seth is determined to make her an offer she can’t refuse.
Victoria will do anything to land the story, but she draws the line at mixing business with pleasure. Only she’s about to discover that billionaires don’t give up easily. Especially when they’ve found something—or someone—they want . . .

I was not able to put the book down, i had to read the entire thing in one sitting. This book had me hooked from the very first page to the last page. This is an amazing and adorable story.

A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE IS NO LAUGHING MATTER
Nadia Alvarez likes men, but not relationships. Love she can definitely do without. What she really needs is a builder to rescue her fixer-upper house that’s threatening to fall down, and she’s desperate enough to hire a man she’d vowed never to see again.

Divorced father, Luke Pierce, takes life seriously. He’s never forgotten the dark-haired beauty he’d fallen hard for during an uncharacteristic one-night stand, but Nadia makes it perfectly clear that sweeping their past under the rug is a requirement of the job.
The only problem is Nadia’s wicked sense of humor. Getting Luke to let his guard down and see the fun side of life is becoming a pastime for Nadia. If she’s not careful, he’ll fall harder for her than he did before. And this time he might take her with him . . . no matter what her opinion on love may be.
I’m excited to see what else this author has instore for this series.

When I first saw the cover to this book I knew that I wanted to read it right away, the cover had bright colors and was absolutely beautiful, and not to mention I just love a book where the title comes full circle. The characters were well developed, the plot was wonderful, and the overall story was amazing. So if your looking for a great new slow burn make sure you pick this one up today.

NICE GUYS CAN PLAY DIRTY TOO . . .
This is the first book that I have read from Mrs. Belinda Williams, and I honestly really liked the book. Her way of writing is amazing, and the plot of the story had sucked me in immediately from the very first page and the last page of the book. I was not able to put the book down until I had finished the entire thing in one sitting. The characters were amazing, and I was able to see and feel everything they were.
‘Give me a week. Seven days and seven nights. I’ll show you what it’s like to be with a nice guy.’
Chelsea’s housemate Tom is tired of her complaining about her boyfriends. Arrogant, sexy, irresistible, bad boys are basically Chelsea’s M.O.
Pretty much everything that Tom is not. He’s dependable and sweet. He’s also kind of hot in a cute, unthreatening way. His offer surprises Chelsea. He’s right . . . she’s never really given a nice guy a chance before. And now she’s curious. Hell, it might even be fun.
There’s just one rule: this isn’t a friend with benefits arrangement. Except Chelsea never imagined nice guys could play so dirty
I’m excited to see what she has in store for this series.

I highly recommend this children’s book, and hope you work along with your child.

I’ll start off by saying that I did not read the first books in the series, however I stick found it enjoyable. The main character Julia gives a recap in the beginning of her past, that helped slightly but once I got into the story I got the gist of things. Julia is dealing with the consequences of her betrayal of her Ka-tet. It’s like a bonded group of Vampires. She feels herself losing her mind all the while yearning to fix things between her and her friends. But honestly some betrayals are just too much to forgive. The fear of her apparitions returning and ruining her life again, has her seeking aid from Mathew who at first is very reluctant to be near her again but eventually realizes that something more sinister is happening .
The author has constructed an amazing world lore around Vampires and I think most will enjoy it.
