Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite, #5)Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I seriously can never get enough from this author or this series in general! Each book they have written I am Truly captivated and hooked. Each book in this series brings secrets and darkness of the character’s own to light, and I am hooked and mesmerized! It takes a skilled author to truly to achieve that again and again!

I love how each one of these books in the series that brings on two characters that are placed together due to unforeseen circumstances. I loved Luc and Summer so freaking much. They had that chemistry that you only dream about. Their ties together seemed like it was just random, but behind every thing that happens with this Mafia in Chicago, there are secrets or skeletons in the closet that always come to light…whether you like it or not. Summer quickly became a fan favorite for me. her intuition was always spot on, and how she saw the world compared to the females in other books was different and enlightening. I learned so much from the way she sees. The moments she and Luc spent together were amazing, the suspense was to die for as well. I freaking loved this one! Loved it so freaking much!

If you have not had the pleasure of reading this amazing author, I must say read books by them as of right this moment! If you have not read other books in this Mafia series, it is best to read from the 1st one to truly understand and get wrapped up in the affairs of the Mafia. This book alone is a must read, it was perfect in every which way, and I highly do recommend it! It is a must read! I am dead serious about that!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I really loved this book. It has everything I love sexy vampires, hot attraction, and danger around every bend and twist. The author does and amazing job of infusing all these elements and still keeping the story unique.
The story is definately about opposites attracting with Sam who is a vampire and Layla who is a vampire hunter. Their attraction to each other is instant and very hard to deny. But things aren’t just complicated by this fact.
Layla has been hired to kidnap Sam but she’s not sure who she had been hired by. When the kidnap attempt goes wrong and both Layla’s sisters get caught, 1 by Sam the other by Sam’s enemy.
The only person Layla can turn to for assistance is the one person she doesn’t know if she should trust. Sam.
Can they work together to get rid of the threat towards Sam and save Layla’s sisters? Or will their attraction mean they both get burnt and lose it all by giving into their passion.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Wendy Wary

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book works well as a standalone if you haven’t read the previous books in the series, like me. There was enough context to understand the story line without it being distracting from the current plot.

This was a captivating story, making it difficult to put down. Not only did I want to know who or what was behind the clown parade that seemed to overtake Pine Ridge High School, I was intrigued to figure out how it all would come to an end.

Abbey is a spook magnet who discovers the ghosts of dozens of clowns have infiltrated her life after a visit to the traveling circus. When two of her classmates disappear with clues the clowns are involved, she sets out to make sense of her puzzling and sometimes terrifying interactions with the clowns. Along the way of solving the mysteries, Abbey forms new friendships, helps a couple of other ghosts (unrelated to the main plot) find closure, and tries to live as normal a teenage life as anyone can who sees and interacts with ghosts on a regular basis.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. From the start, I found Layla to be such a relatable character, from the crafty, clumsy, nerd who’s mostly an introvert, to her kind spirit and sassy but loving friendship with her best friend, Alex.

Layla is an artist who pays the bills as a real estate assistant. She creates a cosplay of her favorite comic book character and shows up to a meet and greet at a comic convention to get the autograph of the writer from the series. Fumbling her way through the meet and greet, she’s on cloud nine after Vic, the writer, compliments her costume and asks to take a photo with her. The two end up running into each other again, and after she goes home, they end up chatting online and forming a friendship.

While Layla works to break out into the industry through her art, Vic faces some challenges in his own career that threatens to end their budding romantic relationship before it fully develops.

The book covers a lot of serious topics along the way: long distance relationships, workplace harassment, light touches on racism and LGBT dating, women in the geek universe and their discrimination, and seedy behavior from men in power in the entertainment industry toward those holding lower status or clout. I really appreciated seeing that addressed, even while keeping the story mostly light and fun to read.

I fully appreciate a strong female lead who isn’t dependent upon a man to come and rescue her, and the author did a great job of offering up a story that delivers the type of heroine who can take care of herself while keeping the reader fully engaged. I’m really looking forward to reading more by this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sweet, second chance romance
This book is a clean Christian romance. I found the story stalled a bit in places where Kayden and Liam kept being hung up on events from the past. The back and forth was a bit overdone and some of the added angst seemed forced. That being said, I found the writing easy to read and the overall message sweet. This is a good choice for an afternoon escape read.

I have read a few books from this author and every time I read her books she keeps me on my toes. This is a perfect book to read for St. Patrick’s Day. I love a good short romance but this story exceeded all my expectations. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.

She gets to know him and she can’t help but to have a connection to him. Will Clover find her lucky man or will her luck be bad once again?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual rating 3.5 stars. This book had a good story line, great characters, and a good plot twist. However it was hard to get into, it felt sort of dry, also timing of the story confused me a bit. I had to go back a few times to see if I had missed or skipped a date in the header etc (but hadn’t). Without spoiling this book also was a bit predictable sometimes, but the main plot twist did surprise me in the end. Some parts also seemed unrealistic like falling in love so quickly but then again that’s young love isn’t it? Overall it was a mildly suspenseful cute little BFF story!

Venturing into this genre, this was a new book and author for me. I will definitely be adding him to my favorites. The way the book is set up in short stories of space travel and how things may have looked kept me intrigued and on the edge of my seat wanting to keep reading. It was fascinating to read the different tales of what unfolded and what could be. The idea of black box stories from space was exciting and a fun read for me. I recommend for any reader.

This book is the perfect example of not judging someone based on outward appearances. Shamrock seems to be living it up and enjoying every second of being single. Deep down inside though he’s starting to yearn for more. Clover has had terrible luck with men but when she bumps into Patrick she feels how different and how right things feel with him. He realizes that maybe he just hadn’t met the right woman to make him want to settle down until her. They are both going to have to face their demons head on if they want to make their relationship work. This is such a sweet book that has some great laugh out loud moments and the best, sweetest ending. You definitely won’t want to miss this one.

This is a sweet paranormal mystery. Main characters Tess and Trey are cute, flirtatious, easy going and very likable characters. Even the secondary characters of Marcy, Aunt Ester and Jake seem to have their own stories to tell and I would definitely love to read them. Even if you don’t believe in the afterlife or supernatural beings, this is a fun cute story to read. It is also an easy-to-read story. I love the way Jake is brought into Tess and Trey’s lives. I love how Tess and Trey are brought into each other’s lives. Definitely recommend this author and story.

This is such a sweet story. High school sweethearts break up in high school, and are unexpectedly reunited 15 years later. The author gives readers glimpses from the perspectives of both our lovebirds. It is interesting to watch the personal growth that has taken place through the intervening years. I found myself rooting for the characters to find their way back to one another, yet I also would have understood if they hadn’t been able to do so.

This was our bedtime story tonight and I had my 10 year old who struggles with reading, read it with me tonight. I also asked what they thought of the book and anything they would want to share and this is what they had to say :

“The pictures were beautiful! I really loved all the different tricks they showed. I wish there had been more of a story instead of just the tricks. I want to know more about Trezzie’s treasure chest!”

I would recommend this book to any family looking for a fun read that includes a little bit of “magic” aka science. While I wished they would have explained a little more of why the tricks worked, it was a fun book.

This is a sweet story involving a young woman who reunites with her high school sweetheart who broke her heart several years later. It’s a story of redemption that shows a person can change if they want to. This story is a clean romance and address the issue of forgiveness and moving on from a deep hurt. The fmc does get a little frustrating with her indecisiveness at times but when you stop and ask yourself how you would feel you can relate to her. It was good to see the hea lose his temper at times as well and not just be a doormat through the entire book!

Okay! I now have a new favorite series. First off it’s not a usual end of the world book. These zombies are different. The world is different. Learning about the “Dogs” past was magnificent. Seeing the world through each of the main character’s eyes was even better. I’m on the fence with the ARKS beliefs and system. Furthermore if The ENDING WAS SO FRUSTRATING BUT IN A GOOD WAY! All I can say is that Thalia is a lot like her father. And I feel for Baron. I cannot not wait for the next installment. Just when I think a romance is brewing here comes life (the author) taking it away. Propter hominus I guess.

This was a new author to me so I wasn’t sure what I would be getting but it turned out to be an enjoyable ghost story. She turned out to have quite a niche for describing the characters and the turn of events going on around them. About halfway through this book I was immersed in the story and couldn’t put this book down. Her detail of the vintage clothing and the city of Paris was spot on perfect. I loved the take on solving the past mystery as I truly wasn’t expecting what she gave me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that loves mystery, paranormal and old school glamour.

I really enjoyed this cosplay romance that just pulled me in right from the beginning and never let go until the end. This was a new author to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when I saw the cover and some reviews I knew this was something I couldn’t miss the chance to read. I am glad I one-clicked on a rainy and dreary day because this was exactly what I needed. I felt as if I was right there with the characters as they experienced what was going on, sometimes as if I was cosplaying myself. It was just the right amount of steam and love story to balance the geeky nerd parts that I also wanted so much but can sometimes overwhelm the story. I can’t wait to see what else is available from this author and what may come next.

What a cute children’s book that teaches young children about science and different tricks involving science.  I read this to my almost four year old and he loved it. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve read it to him. He kept saying read it again and again.  He even “read” it to  me in his own  words. He loves books and especially ones with pictures.  This is about Trezzie , Maia and Fig as they learn new science tricks from the mermaids treasure box. The illustrations are very  bright and colorful. I highly recommend this book to anyone with younger children. We can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is such a sweet and clean romance that is all about the characters. The focus was all on them and their growth. It was a lovely second chance story and it was nice to see how they developed.
It is quite a quick read but is definitely an enjoyable one. I found myself invested in the characters and where the story was going. It is a little more tame than I would usually go for in terms of the writing style however I still found myself enjoying the overall story.

The 3rd book in this fantastic series certainly doesn’t disappoint in any way! It brings us the Story of Macy ( who has been mentioned a little in the first two books) and Brandon who returns home after a lengthy deployment. I love these characters and i know you will too.
Macy and Brandon first meet the night before he is to deploy, they share an unforgettable night together which leaves them both with more than they ever expected! Fast forward five years and Brandon is home and about to find out he not only has a mate he feels drawn to find but a firecracker of a daughter he created on that amazing night together. Macy and Brandon still feel that connection but has too much time past and too many things changed for them to truly make it all work?
While this 3rd book in this amazing series, could be read as a stand alone if you wish, personally I would start from the beginning purely because it is a fantastic series and you will want to get to know everyone properly! I really hope there is more coming our way soon!

Shamrock & Clover: Fields Apart by C.A. King

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. I will say it’s the first book like it that I’ve read. Shamrock and Clover may be lucky charms but they are also human.

Clover is a human who wants to find love. When Shamrock shows up she starts falling. Then his past keeps being thrown in her face. Can she forget his past? The quote I chose for Clover is: “How could I ever walk into a room with him? I’d spend the whole time wondering if the women staring at us had already slept with him.”

Shamrock wants love but he doesn’t know how to do it. When life brings him Clover he wants her for good. He can’t find a clover for Clover. The quote I chose for Shamrock is: “Change. In the future. That’s it! You’re a genius. I have to show her the future. Let’s go. You’re driving.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
