My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although a little predictable this story was cute and a perfect romance story. I enjoyed the military aspect of it. Gina is a strong, caring and sweet soul. She was deal a tough card and learned to live and love again. The friendships she has with the other women is fantastic. I love reading about women supporting and caring for other women.
Bryce is a cute character. I loved his personality far more than his physical description. Although that was great too lol. It was a perfect story to read around valentines. It incorporates loss, love, ptsd, friendship, and understanding. A great feel good book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the best book I have read this year! As a special educator, I think we in the education field often overlook the siblings of special needs students. I am blown away with the insights gained from having read this book. The main character learns that everyone has differences, and differing abilities, not only his brother, but perhaps everyone in his world. This is a book every adult should read, for we all encounter people in our lives with differing abilities.

If you have been searching for a love story that you could pick for the book club that meets in your church’s basement, this is it! A clean romance is one that you can discuss with your grandpa, your great-aunt Charlotte, your pastor, or your best friend- no embarrassing parts to edit out. A romantic story for all ages. The characters are wonderful, and they face issues that many of us face today. The author proves that she can write a wonderful story without having to add unnecessary details.

This is a great story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is a young adult story that shows a typical young adult life struggles. Rourke is just starting the seventh grade. Not only that but he also has a crush on a girl and a brother that is unpredictable. What will happen when life steps in and tragedy strikes? I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. They are connectable and made the story easy to read. An engaging story that is entertaining and just a great story. Any young adult would enjoy this book. I highly recommend this book.

Road Rage (OUTLAW, #4)Road Rage by Karina Kantas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a MC romance story that has a little bit of everything in it. A story that pulled me in from the beginning. This is a well written story about Gem. She has a past she is trying to move on from until she meets Rage and that life seems to be pulling her back in. They are strong characters with great chemistry and great growth throughout the story. There are some twists and turns that you are not going to want to miss. This is a story that is full of action, romance, and was just hard to put down. A well rounded story that will pull you into the characters lives and make you want to know what happens next. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

A HUNDRED WISHES (BAND OF SISTERS) BY MARIANNE RICE – REVIEW BY Ana Evelyn

A Hundred Wishes (Band of Sisters)A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had me shaking my head in agreement sooo so much! It felt so very relatable, while not for the same reasons but I have had similar fears that Gina faced early on in this book. Relationships, being confident, and being vulnerable is hard. With that being said this book was very refreshing to read. I was hooked and excited to see how this story would pan out. I was constantly rooting for Gina, hoping she would find strength and courage to face all of the challenges that she comes across. She shows us time and time again that she’s a strong independent woman! This book was empowering & made me realize I too should be able to face my own fears and insecurities! In regards to the other characters- they easily bring you in and you feel like you know them. I hadn’t read any of the other previous books but understood and loved most characters right off the bat anyways! Overall it was a really great story, I loved how true and real it was. Lastly Bryce – was a sweet man of a man! A man I think every woman dreams to find someday! Overall rating 4/5 in my book!!

Arabella is back in book two of this series. She is being sworn into the witch sisterhood and there are more adventures ahead. Secrets are coming out. Sisters are having break downs. Mom has issues. You really should read this installment: relatable characters with lots of quirks; plot twists abound; and a pretty quick read that will make you smile. Oh and I can’t wait for book 3. Love her cliffhangers. Recommend you push the one-click and give this one a read.

This was an interesting book. Kick-ass women, like Arabella, in the form of witches in a power struggle over who gets to be in the society of witches. If you’re not, you are dead, that is all. Now, I can’t tell you much, you’re going to have to read it. The characters are very relatable. Many sisters to annoy you, who can’t relate? An older brother to help keep an eye on things. The plot has a couple of choppy spots. It’s a quick weekend read that will make you smile and maybe even giggle. I recommend this.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in this series and is a paranormal romance. This tale is different and unique and has suspense and drama, danger, and romance. It is well-crafted and the world the author has created is magical. It is engaging and entertaining with beautiful characters that have dimension. I was drawn to them. Their connection is something to believe in. This is one of those stories that tend to stay in your mind long after you have finished it. The chemistry is off the charts in this insta love story where good and evil battle to win. I couldn’t get enough and was sad when it ended because I wanted more.
I will be reading more of this gifted author’s stories if they are all like this one.

A rogue mysterious yet handsome stranger with a dark past. A headstrong woman who is looking to escape with her sisters and their plight but also rebels against the “norm” of society.

This is such a beautiful historical romance. I was instantly transported to the past, where Charmaine has to look for a suitable match if she doesn’t want her family home to be passed on to a distant male relative. It isn’t fair that a woman had to make such choices back then simply because she was a female. However much Charmaine wants to do what is best for her family and her home, she still wants that true love even though she fears she will never find it. She ends up crossing paths with Kosta and the attraction is immediate and undeniable. She doesn’t feel that he is the match that she should make but her heart tells her otherwise. He’s hiding a big secret that can make all the difference for their future. I really enjoyed this book, it’s absolutely a swoon worthy romance that had me hooked from the first page. I’m looking forward to finding out more about the other Brightley sisters in future books.

I haven’t been reading MC books for very long, but have certainly come to love them. This is the fourth book in the series, but this is the first one I have read. Having a hard past, Gem is a strong woman who has overcome a lot. Meeting Shep, was a thrill for Gem, but is she going to end up the same place she was before? I absolutely love the grittiness of a good MC story, and this one did not disappoint me. I was on the edge of my seat till the end.

Unlock the Angel is the first book in the Seraphim Angel Order series by Calla Zae. This is not my first read by this author and I am enjoying exploring Calla Zae’s work, as she always seems to bring something new to the table. This is a sweet and spicy paranormal romance that kept me reading well past my bedtime. It is well written with fully developed and endearing characters as well as an original take on Angel lore. This originality and the wonderful world building gave this sweet story an extra element of interest too. Add in a bit of danger, good vs evil, emotion, and some dramatic turns- made it a story that wouldn’t let me put it down. I did want to know more about the ‘world’ and the ‘Order’, but I am hoping that will come in further instalments.
Looking forward to the rest of the series now.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Calla Zae!

This was a good 4 star read. Gem is working at the supermarket when she meets someone who eventually introduces her to Rage. She misses being part of a family and she craves being a part of Rage. It’s not easy and the man she thought she knew turned into a monster. There is someone else who comes into the picture and he is great for her. There is a twist and her past ends up coming back to haunt her.

Gem is a very strong character that has been through alot of dark painful things. She definitely knows how to take care of herself, she is a fighter for sure. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I will warn there are some scenes that could cause triggers for some. Overall I did enjoy it and I look forward to reading more from this author and series. This can be read as a stand alone. 1-click and get started today.

Once again I was drawn in by this author and her beautiful covers, and amazing synopsis. Upon starting to read this book I was blown away with the world that our author has created, and her wonderful characters. Full of twists and turns, drama, suspense, danger, romance and more I just simply couldn’t put it down. Probably the only complaint I have is that it was just too short, I really started falling in love with my favorite characters on for it to end, but I’m hoping our author will bring back our favorite characters in the next installment. But will put main characters get their happy ending or will we be left on a cliffhanger? You’ll have to read this book to find out for yourself.

This book is one of those books that you just can’t resist reading based on it’s beautiful cover. When I first came across this book I didn’t even bother reading the synopsis I knew based off the cover alone that I would love it. This book was everything that I imagined it would be with just enough romance, entertainment and just a little mystery, I just simply couldn’t put it down. I am also a sucker for a fairytale retelling and this one gave me a very Cinderella feel. With a strong female lead, a handsome male lead pretending to be something he’s not, and great supporting characters trust me when I say that you should pick this book up today. I know personally I can’t wait to see what our author gives us next.

The Clockwork Solution is the second book in The Clockwork Solution. The book is the continuation of the story of Arabella and her magical power of technomancy. I enjoyed this book more than the first and could get into the story more. Though aiming for a YA audience, I think teens and older readers can enjoy this series. The characters have become better developed, which has helped drive the story. However, it did end a bit abruptly, so I hope there is more to this series in the future.

This was an unexpected read for me in a wonderful way. The author was able to bring out the good vs bad, love vs hate, loyalty vs distrust among all the characters.

Our main character Cathy is a strong independent focused career woman. She has seen heartbreak first hand having her heart trampled on. She picks up the pieces after expelling brute force on a nail with a hammer. That part will make you chuckle under your breath.

Daedriel is an angel who is on earth to find Rath, a former friend turned evil betrayer. Although this book has both sides of good and evil, you are left with an overwhelming feeling of pureness and wanting to be the best you can to yourself and those you love. I felt at peace and warmly happy when I finished this book. Thank you to the author who took me on a ride of the unexpected.

There is a cast of many interesting characters some you will love others you will dislike. The storyline is well written and the some of the characters are well developed but there are others that I felt should have been. All in all I enjoyed this thrilling ride.
I love the strong female protagonist and her badassary, but the pain and abuse she went through made my heartache.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Gina is a very strong independent woman. She got injured pretty badly in a roadside bomb and even though she’s physically healed there are some emotional scars. Gina has been through quite a bit of stuff in her life which is why she’s such a strong woman, plus she has a close knit set of friends that she calls her sisters, who are there for her.
Bryce meets Gina at a crafting fair and he finds her very attractive. He tries to talk to her and she shuts that down quickly. These two happen to see each other again and the chemistry is very apparent. Bryce asks Gina out but she turns him down because of a misunderstanding. After the misunderstanding is cleared up they end up enjoying each other’s company but Gina has her heart guarded and tells herself she won’t be anything but friends with him. In this story we see both of them learn more about each other. Can Gina get past her insecurities to make it work? Can Bryce get past his fears? To find these things out you must read this wonderful story. This book hits on a lot of different emotions and makes it a good read. I can’t wait to read the next one. I recommend this book.
