Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #2)Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red is a fun and short read. It is the second in the story so it is after Ashes (Cinderella retelling) and does continue on with parts of that story was well. It can be read as a stand alone still. George is Harry’s best friend and going thru a rough patch in his life due to his love disappearing at the prom (who was really a fairy godmother playing the part of Georges true love). Merilee now must fix her muddling with the help of an annoying guardian angel who is full of himself and get George and Lily together as they are supposed to be. Lilly is a broke college student that needed a place to stay and ended up finding her best friend and running into her true love. I found this retelling of Little Red Riding Hood to be fun and engaging with a nice modern twist. I can’t wait to read more modern-day fairy tales by M.K. Harkins!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this cute book, Rocky does not want to go to his family reunion because he does not know anyone who will be there. Rocky does not enjoy any of the games because he does not know how to play them. When it is time for dumpster diving though, Rocky saves the day and ends up enjoying himself. When it is time to leave, he makes plans to visit the country and his cousin says he will visit Rocky in the city. A cute book about making the most of situations and learning from others.

I enjoyed this addition to the series very much. I believe middle grade readers will enjoy it. It is its own unique story while also having Greek mythology through it. Tally meets Theo who has also lost him Mom as Tally has. He believes he has a plan to bring them both back to life. But can it work?

Red (Modern-Day Fairy Tale, #2)Red by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Modern Day Fairy Tale Series. These are a great mixture of a retelling of a classic fairy tale with a modern twist. This story is full of paranormal elements, magic, danger, and a sense of fate.
This story could be read as a standalone as the main characters are different to the first book, however some of the characters from the first book do reappear.
Me personally I would recommend reading them in order as it really enhances this magical series.

This is George and Lilly’s story.
George is still trying to get over his heartbreak and he struggles to come to terms with losing Laura (read the first book) he is positive there is no one else and that she was his soul mate. However Laura wasn’t all she appeared.
Lilly is finally on her own making her way in life and when she meets George sparks definately fly.
But will George be able to recognise that Lily could be his soul mate before it’s too late? With 2 fairy-godmothers in training trying to help and a grumpy guardian angel trying to clear up the mess from the first story there is a lot going on.
And when someone from George’s past returns with evil intentions will anyone be safe?
These stories are amazing reads and a beautiful retelling of a classic tale with a twist that makes them relevant today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Red is the second installment in the Modern-Day Fairy Tales series by M.K. Harkins. I was unaware of the first book when I picked this up, so I would definitely recommend reading Ashes first as it’s a bit confusing if you haven’t. This book has a little bit of everything fairytale related, with magic, adventures, and of course Fairy god mothers. I absolutely adore any sort of Fairy Tale spin offs, interpretations, etc., and this was no exception. The characters are right there with you, you’re put right into the settings, and it’s just an overall great book. I will definitely be looking into Ashes!

This is one of those must read series. You definitely want to read it in order so that you can understand the characters and what’s going on. I came away from this book feeling satisfied, yet sad. It was the end of the series but what a series. Edward brought us to a close with action, drama and secrets. I couldn’t put the book down. I’ve gotten wrapped up in everyone of these books. This author is one of those that writes in such a way that you feel like you may be among friends. It’s easy to feel like they are easily relatable. Such a wonderful family. It’s story that will draw you in and let you feel what they feel. A definite must read.

Wow! One intense book that will leave you feeling some big emotions even as a reader. This is one of my favorite authors because of her writing. She writes stories that you can relate to and feel. This is definitely one of those. Rich girl, poor boy. It teaches you to not judge a book by it’s cover. I was in it from the start but couldn’t put it down. Mostly based on flashbacks, this story is emotional, dramatic and romantic. The characters will leave you blindsided. A great read. I can’t wait to get into part 2. What a great book!

The Predator (Part One) by Brooke May

Book79/50 was 4⭐️! I really enjoyed the dynamics between Chamberlain and Katie! I also love Scott! However, Gwen knows what she’s doing and she’s got to go!! She infuriates me.

There’s a sequel to the book called, “The Predator Two”, and I’ve already started reading it because Book One leaves the reader with a cliff hanger! I MUST know what is going to happen!!

This book is the perfect combination of what’s going to happen next, rooting for love, but hating the interference, spicy, a bit of a mystery as to what’s going to come, and ‘OMG! she didn’t!’ combined into one book!

I recommend this read, as it’s quick and enjoyable!! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

As always,
Happy Reading! 🩷

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. The Halloween party and it’s shenanigans following had me laughing so hard I had tears coming out. Drew and Katie make an adorable couple and I was rooting for them the entire time. I was hoping that they would work everything out and that Kate’s Chow-mix pupper would come to love Drew. It was a really good read and a good pallet cleanser between books. G.K. did a wonderful job creating her characters, and this awesome world of hockey. I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the series!

Ryan has had his heart broken by his ex-fiancee Vicky. He feels that a camping trip may help to clear his head and heal him up just enough that he can start moving on as a single man. For Tess the journey is one of reflection. She regrets her past behavior and wants to be a better person as well as treat others better. Neither one of them expected to fall in love, especially Ryan. Tess doesn’t feel like she is worthy of his love and is determined to keep her past indiscretions close to her vest. It could make or break their fledgling relationship.

They had met previously when her sisters engagement party was held there. He is getting over a failed relationship and feels that he’s ready to put himself out there again. They hit it off over mushroom ravioli and wine. Could this be the happily ever after they have both been looking for?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everyone in my household loves it when I bring a book home by this author. Many of them have been shorter picture books, but we have also found a few chapter books as well. This is kind of in between and has definitely made it to our favorites list! I read this with my 8- and 12-year-old and the first thing they noticed was the illustrations. They are simple yet beautiful, and I feel they are helpful to my younger kiddo who can get distracted easily. The mini mysteries are marvelous in length and content! If you’ve ever had a kid in their ‘why’ phase, this book is a great choice for you. I love it when they ask questions, and this book is here to answer them. We really enjoyed all of the facts after the mysteries and even experimented with some that we noticed. I highly recommend having this in your library, daycare, or home to experience with the young ones in your life!

The Predator Part OneThe Predator Part One by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five years ago, I read a book that I fell in love with called Back in the Ring by Brooke May only to find it was the fourth book in The Predator Series. It has taken me all this time to go back to the beginning to where it all began.
The Predator is a series of intensely intertwined complex threads woven into a heartbreaking story.
Chamberlain is an MMA fighter from the wrong side of the tracks but on his way to becoming something. KC has it all but the one thing she truly wants. Together they could be wonderful, but nothing was ever that easy.
Brookes writing skills evokes such strong emotions that will break your heart but will also make you smile at times. Sexy, steamy and sizzling is the added bonus.
I was disappointed it ended but am off to read The Predator part 2

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The excitement that ran through me when I finally got the chance to read this book was insane! This is the second book in the Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy, and I had been looking forward to picking it up for some time now. Though I will definitely sing the praises of the first book and recommend that you read them in order, you could get away with reading this one as a standalone if you would like. That being said, the author does have recurring characters throughout her books so you will get a better experience with reading them all. I love the author’s writing style and have started to pick up more of their books. Rachel and Miguel may just be a couple of my favorite characters now. They are both relatable and something about Rachel pulled at my heart quite a bit. Miguel is such a sweetheart and makes the perfect book boyfriend in my opinion! If you are in the mood for a contemporary romance with emotional pasts and wonderful chemistry, look no further than this book. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!

I had only read one book by this author before, but I really enjoyed it so I picked this one up as well. This turned out to be such a cute and romantic story! I truly love the main characters, Tess and Ryan. The chemistry and banter between them felt so natural and made it a joy to read about their relationship. The author’s writing style is subtle yet addictive, and I found myself finishing the book not long after picking it up. The flow of the story is natural and unfolds at a wonderful pace. I highly recommend picking this up if you are a fan of contemporary romances with relatable characters. I am so excited to pick up the next book in the series because I absolutely need more of this author’s writing!

Trusting Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 1)

I devoured the original series and was so excited to find a new series by Ms. Navickas. This is a spinoff series which it took me a minute to figure out and when I did I was so happy.

Tess who was hated by many is finally moving on with her life after the divorce from Josh. She bought the local paper and keeping herself busy. A chance encounter changes everything.

Ryan has a wall around his heart after it was shattered. He isn’t opposed to a good time and having fun but has no plans to fall in love at this time.

I loved seeing Tess redeem herself from an angry bitter woman to someone who finds happiness and getting to know not only Ryan but his siblings too.

Reading the earlier series isnt necessary but it will make you understand Tess and her transformation. Already finished the second book in this series and impatiently waiting for the third book.

The Predator Part One
By Brooke May

I have not read anything by Brooke May before and have to say I loved the book. Not sure where to start with so starting by saying it is a 5-star read.
There are so many characters in this book that can be written about. Starting with KC’s family, she felt no love from them at all and knew she was the outsider of the family, the only love she felt at home was from the family cook Fiona. Since her parents had wanted a boy, to continue the family powerful legacy. Unfortunately, their son had passed away, so unfortunately for KC this left that legacy in her hands, this is something she wanted no part of. KC was also expected to marry the boring Timothy who was part of another powerful family, but she was having no part of that either. KC wanted to pick her own partner, much to the disgust of her parents. Running late one afternoon she bumps into Chamberlain. She marvels at his height; how big his muscles were and his beautiful blue eyes that reminded her of the ocean. However, her first impression of Chamberlain was that he was arrogant. That is until he takes her for a meal when she realizes that she has judged him wrong. Moving on she meets Amber and Lizzie both girls are pure evil. Amber wants Chamberlain back, while Lizzie is hell bent on getting Chamberlain’s best friend Scott, in the process of this they make KC’s life hell whenever they bump into her. Then we have Gwen she openly admits that she does not like KC, but the feelings are mutual as KC does not trust Gwen. Personally, I think Gwen is in love with Chamberlain, but will let you make up your own mind on that.
Scott comes across as a bit of a player but he as a heart of gold and besides Fiona and Chamberlain he is the only people in her life that treat her properly. That is until she meets her Aunt Jackie and her partner. This is where I am leaving this review and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Can not wait to read Predator Part two.

Finding Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 2)Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We met Rachel and her boyfriend Ian in book 1, while her brother Ryan was handling meeting the love of his life. In book 2, we meet her again after she and Ian have broken up. Her history with men is abysmal, but she still holds out hope. In an effort to get back in the saddle, she agrees to a meet up, but he doesn’t show. When Miguel spies her at Pier Ninety-Two after being stood up, he offers to cook her dinner and they share a few bottles of wine while their attraction to and chemistry with one another grows throughout the evening. After going back to Miguel’s place together, they are both forced to confront themselves and their own emotions and pasts to see if there’s really a chance for them.

As in book 1, the character building is fantastic and the books are quick reads full of people and interactions that seem familiar. Lots of emotions, plenty of chemistry, nice heat between the two of them. Great reactions between characters and laugh out loud moments. Looking forward to book 3.

Ryan and Tess are both people with pasts that were unlucky in love and haven’t found much reason to trust it again – until they meet one another and their chemistry and attraction for one another is off the charts! They rapidly enter pretty serious feelings for one another and bring everyone in their vicinity along for the ride. Their true emotions and fears involving relationships come to the surface and need worked through in order for them to grow and become what each other needs to really reach true happiness.

Character building was superb – I loved the interactions amongst them and it feels like familiar friends with their chats amongst one another. I liked meeting the future MCs and getting to know them the way Tess felt familiar to me from previous books, as well. I laughed, I cried, I cheered.

Rocky the Raccoon is scared because his family is going on a trip to a family reunion hosted by his family outside of the city he lives in. He’s nervous because he’s never been out of his hometown, and because he’s the only family member that’s never met the rest of the family. At first, Rocky feels left out and uncertain, but eventually, he is able to help his family and bonds with them. By the end of the trip, he almost doesn’t want to leave. This is a great book for young kids, especially those who are about to go on their first trip, or have a big change coming. The illustrations are cute and engaging, and the story is easy to follow.

Each of the mysteries are well thought out and detailed to further the storyline from the first mystery.

This author writes children books that are enjoyable to read and also have some opportunities to learn something new. I recommend this book to parents for their child who likes science.

This really is a fantastic series. This author bases her books on a special country with each one. This one is based on Greece with it’s traditions, mythology and fascinating history. Geared to tweens, the story is a fantasy journey full of adventure, drama and fantasy. I love the fact that she has an angel with her for her adventures. I absolutely enjoyed Theo and Artemis. I found the characters were perfect. I was intrigued with the topic around the ocean and diving. The story was so good that I finished it in one sitting. This really is a great book. It really opens up the country and makes you want to dive in and learn more. This is a series that you can read alone or in order. I do recommend that it is read in order so you know what she is referencing in past stories.
