Wild Hare’s Daughter by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wild Hare’s Daughter is a story full of family, magic, and more. I like the incorporation of magic and realism to tell the story. The story and characters are interesting and left me wishing I had read the first book before this one. I would have liked more to the backstory, but now I have another book to read. I enjoyed the development of the characters and story. It is an interesting dystopian setting that adds to the storyline. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Imperfectly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The one thing I enjoy best is reading a book that is down to earth and realistic. Even though the characters are fiction it is good to see that they had flaws and that they have to battle for things just like normal people. I found that the author had such a good balance of drama as well as romance. I like the fact that it wasn’t predictable. I also like how the author made the characters relatable.
I like how life wasn’t perfect and the characters had to overcome obstacles. There is just something that draws one in more when nothing is predictable and you are hooked on the book and don’t want to put it down as you want to see how it will all end. I will definitely read more from this author.

This is book 2 of the series but can be read as a stand alone. I loved it. The twists an turns between Elsa and Anton show what can happen to an everyday average couple an in any marriage. Shows how to really lovevan support each other rather than just give up. Add their amazing romance makes me wanting to read book 3!! Cant wait!

Theodore’s Ring: BWWM Action Adventure Romance by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This fairly quick read is full of action, drama, suspense and of course romance, everything I expect in a story by this author. I liked the main character, Lydia and felt she was likeable and relatable. When Lydia’s boyfriend Cam is kidnapped by Efrain she does not hesitate to get him back, even though it means going into the difficult terrain of the jungle, dodging bullets and fighting the bad guys. In order to get Cam back Lydia must deliver a legendary artefact, known as ‘Theodore’s Ring’, which is worth millions, to Efrain. To complicate things further, she is embarking on her dangerous journey into the Casanu jungle with her ex-lover, Sullivan, who is determined to get Lydia back, whatever the cost! This is a fast paced read with an exciting storyline and plenty of plot twists, all of which had me hooked from start to finish. The characters and the setting are brought to life by the descriptive narrative and I felt fully immersed in the story. An enjoyable and engaging read.

Theodore’s Ring By Stacy-Deanne
Review by Susan Ratchford
Action, Adventure, and Romance abound when Lydia Quarter comes home to find her Boyfriend Cam missing, kidnapped by the merciless Efrain. With a sinister threat lingering in the air and only days to accomplish her mission Lydia must traverse the Casanu jungle to find a legendary artifact named Theodore’s Ring to trade for Cam’s life. With her Ex-boyfriend Sullivan as her guide (the man who wants her back feverishly), Lydia’s life is about to get even more dangerous and complicated.
This book was so fun to read! Theodore’s Ring is the perfect blend of excitement, suspense and humor, with unexpected twists and turns you never see coming. This book gets you emotionally invested with its vivid storytelling,relatable characters, and bold testaments of love. I also really liked seeing the similarities and differences of how both Cam and Sullivan treat Lydia. I recommend it to anyone who likes a really satisfying read.

Theodore’s Ring was a fast paced, easy read. I couldn’t decide at first if I was rooting for her ex-boyfriend or her current boyfriend to end up as her HEA. It didn’t take long for me to decide who I was rooting for to win in the end. Lots of adventure keeps the story moving. I was able to finish this book in a single day.
Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Seed on Fire is Book One in the Moore Family Saga series of books. We are introduced to Kaiden, a musician, and Alicia Moore, a young couple that fall head over heels in love and soon become married after a whirlwind romance. Alicia unexpectedly becomes pregnant on their honeymoon, something which threatens to tear Cade and Alicia apart. Kaiden, or Cade as his friends call him, and Alicia, or Lecia as her close friends call her, find their relationship put to the test with this revelation.
Cade never expected to settle down but that all changed when he met Lecia. He is now struggling with the sudden life changes and his impending fatherhood. Lecia finds herself overjoyed and cannot wait to become a mother but is struggling with the loss of her career because of her impending motherhood. These life changes cause a rift between Cade and Lecia but soon a series of horrific events not only threatens to break them apart but also puts the life of their unborn child in danger. Will their love be strong enough to endure the threats and hardships put before them?
This book was full of action, adventure, romance, danger and ultimately the family ties that bind. The author does a great job of tackling the difficult topics of the sacrifices and the often-difficult concept of forgiveness that most couples are faced with throughout their relationship. The characters of Kaiden and Alicia were described so well so you could not help but feel that you knew them. I loved the relationship that they had and the lengths that they would go to remain together. No matter what they went through and who tried to tear them apart their love for each other was undeniable and unbreakable. From the very first few pages I was hooked, and I needed to learn more about this couple and what was going to become of them and their relationship and ultimately what would become of their unborn child. I was hooked and not only quickly devoured Book One but immediately moved onto Book Two in the series, Playing With Fire, followed up by the next few books in the series. I highly recommend the Moore Family Saga series of books.

A Sublime five-star read. This is number two in the Titans of Manhattan series, and follows on so well from the first, we met Anton and Elsa in the first instalment, but they come to life in this one. This is a fast-paced story, and you can feel the romance and passion the main characters show each other, but the pain is also palpable and so real between the couple. There are so many layers to this story, they will all suck you in and make you feel the story. The author has a way with words that will just keep you hooked from the first page to the last.

This was my first read in this series and by this author. I absolutely loved this twisted, funny, witty and yes steamy tale. Definitely a must read! The author’s writing style is exactly what I look for. Katrina is a heroine you can absolutely root for and Gabriel is so cocky and witty that I fell in love with him. It always makes the story so much better when the characters are people you can love. I am going back and reading the rest of this series!! I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!!
The Bear at Midnight by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the 4th book in the series and even though I haven’t read the first 3 books I still really enjoyed this one. I think if you read the books in order you would get a greater understanding for the characters but it doesn’t mean that reading this as a standalone spoils the story but it was still an amazing read and I can’t wait for more. The author does an amazing job at describing the scenes. You actually feel like you are in the great hall, experiencing everything that’s happening. The author takes you a historical murder mystery set in the Orkney. It is written so well that I didn’t know who was responsible for the murder until it was revealed which I loved as i normally realise who the suspect is before then so it was refreshing to have no clue until it was revealed.
When the leader dies and other people turn up murder our two main characters, Ketil and Sigrid must solve the murder before the killer strikes again.
With enemies around every turn, a fight to become the new leader and now these mysterious murders the pair need to figure it out before its too late and gets too close for comfort.
To be a Fae Guardian by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This author is one of my absolute favorites! I have read almost all her books and love everyone of them. This series is so intriguing and the characters are so well detailed that you can’t help but fall in love with them.
Titania is the queen of her kingdom and bears the weight of a worlds worth of responsibility, but she does so with such grace and wisdom. You would think that if she did everything she could to save her realm she would be worshiped yet she is instead put under investigation for taking actions to save her people. She becomes so overwhelmed that she has a heart breaking decision to make.
This book held my attention from the very first page to the very end! I could not put it down. I am so relieved there will be another in this series because these characters deserve more, maybe even more than one … maybe five more or six more heck maybe even a whole 10 more to make it an even dozen!! If you are looking for a great YA paranormal read you should definitely read this series, you won’t be dissatisfied! Can I give this ten stars please??
Wild Hare’s Daughter by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is wonderful on so many levels. You are grabbed from the beginning right into the story of Amy wanting to figure out who her dad is and finding she has magic powers. The story is so well-written. Amy is a teen trying to figure out her life, which isn’t easy because she is learning she isn’t what she thought she was. She will be on a journey to discover herself with the help of people in her town, her family and her BFF, Petey. You can’t help but relate to her teen angst. The author did a bang-up job of keeping things running smooth. The author also has slipped some climate thoughts and political thoughts in there. Reading about Bobby describe life at Bear Lake and loss of nature around it, you get a little lesson in climate change. I found it intriguing. It puts another perspective on loss of nature. We are losing some of our nature. The political items in there were spot on. I think it helped pull the story into today. Though I don’t agree with some of the messages, I did find they just fit in well with the story and the hunt for those with magic. This is a really good book. Great for young adults but adults just may enjoy it too.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Theodore’s Ring was a fast and interesting read. I enjoyed the main couple, Cam and Lydia, and would have definitely loved to see more Cam instead of Sullivan. I think the story definitely would have benefited from some scenes from Cam’s point of view. I would have loved to get to know him a bit more. All in all, I think a bit more background for Cam and Lydia would have helped flesh out the characters for this story since this is the first story for them. I enjoyed the premise of the book. It is a good book if you want something quick and entertaining.

Oh to crawl into the fae world with this author! I love the way she writes their world. I have been not so patiently waiting to read this book and will continue that wait for the hopeful third book! This book picks up soon after the ending of the first. Titania has grown so much yet has more growing to do. This read will make you feel all the emotions with the characters. You will meet some new characters and say painful goodbyes to others. This is definitely a must read but I highly recommend reading the series in order!

To be a Fae Guardian (Realm Chronicles #2) by Tricia Copeland
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. To be a Far Guardian is the second book in the Realm Chronicles. The first book let us in on the characters and now we get to see what happened.
Titania is now the queen and it’s not going as easily as she wants. Now with the trials and her wanting the best for everything may not turn out the best. Her cousin has put in her head that things may not work out. The quote I chose for Titania is: “I have not been charged with such. But it was I who kept us up into the wee hours of the morning. That will not serve us well today.”
Holden has now confessed his love for the queen and she has said it back. He’s got to work although he doesn’t want to do the trials. He wants everything to work out, but doesn’t understand why she keeps her cousin around. The quote I chose for Holden is: “I do not wish to speak these words, but it is late, and I must rise early. I want to be well rested for the trials.”
Highly recommended for YA Fae lovers.
Wild Hare’s Daughter by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an apocalyptic dystopian tale set in a small town with fairies and other magical creatures but not as we know them. They are a mixture of what one would consider “traditional” but that is the beauty of fiction, they can be whatever strikes the author. This author writes so that her words are easily imagined and brought to life. It is a story of those struggling for survival in a world where the militia rule. One young woman wants to know her other half, where she came from. Especially when she realises that magic is real and not just some rumour the militia spread.

Just like the other books in this series, this book was entertaining and a great read. The narrator was the same two as the previous two books, and every time, they are articulate, intriguing, and perfect for the roles they are reading for. I love listening to these books. This is the third book in the Satan’s Devils series, and I cannot wait until I get the opportunity to read more. It is the perfect mix between romance, lust, and danger. What more could a reader ask for?

Meanwhile, she has a feeling that the creatures she defeated are just biding their time until they can return and complete what they started.
Will Titania be able to keep researching and find a way to defeat the evil she knows is lurking beneath their feet, or will she be prevented from doing anything worthwhile because of those of observing her every move and the possibility of those closest to her finding her unworthy of their belief?

To be a Fae Guardian is the second book in the Realm Chronicles. This book is a continuation of book one. So, if you have yet to read the first book, I highly recommend that you do before beginning this one as it really lays strong foundations and provides character introductions, storyline, and other important information that you’ll need in order to fully appreciate and understand the second book. She has yet again brought her magical world to life and transports you to Middle Earth and continues a magical journey into the realm of Middle Earth.
Titania’s power is shackled and left alone; she loses faith in her once clear path. She is convinced she knows who she needs at her side, but her world starts crumbling around her. I’m excited to see how the author continues to engross us into Middle earth.

This Sci Fi Adventure story is certainly different. We are taken on a journey to another place or is it another time? It seems this author has many different genres, but I guess that is what you get when you read from the artistic view of an author, musician, songwriter, and composer. His writing shows he is an eclectic person loves to engage, captivate, and entertain and keep his audience on their toes. I think it would be very interesting to get inside his head, although I am not sure I would find my way back. Anyhoo, you will find yourself strangely intrigued by this quirky and vividly imaginative tale if you are able see things from outside what is considered the norm.

This book is unlike anything I have read before. I have never had a book that has drawn me in and kept me there just waiting to see what happens next. I am usually a romantic comedy kind of girl and this story is far from that. There are moments when you are just reading along and holding your breath hoping that nothing bad happens. Then you take that deep breath and just read along anxiously hoping that the main characters get from point A to point B with out failing. This book was very interesting and I hope there is a sequel, I really would like to know what is next for our adventurers.

This is the second installment in this series and I simply couldn’t wait to read it when it hit my kindle. Full of family, danger, some mystery, and romance this author really knows how to pull her readers and keep them interested until the very end. Once i opened this book i just simply couldnt put it down. The characters are amazing, the plot was beautiful, and the details to the fae realm are simply breathtaking. Titania is young queen with many decisions to make and people all over that are second guessing not only her decision making skills but also her ability to lead. But with Holden and Quinn by her side she is determined that her decisions will hold firm. But will they be by her side forever?

Theodore’s Ring: BWWM Action Adventure Romance by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Theodore’s ring was incredibly twisted. A thrilling story for sure. It started off a little slow but once the story took off boy did it take off. There was so many twists and turns. Normally you can kind of see where the story is going. This one threw some curve balls at me and kept me guessing. Definitely an action packed and adventurous story.
This story definitely did not disappoint! I love Slick and Ella’s story so much. Yes, it is truly at times a total gut punch…and there are topics that can be very sensitive…but there is so much to this story.
Slick totally oozes alpha confidence being part of the Satans Devils MC. When he meets Ella…this changes. Ella’s story….. just tore at me. She was tasked to help Slick and the MC a favor that turned into something darker that Ella had to endure.
When the MC suffer a loss…and Ella asking for Slick’s help about her sister….will Slick and Ella find their way back to each other? Definitely listen and find out!
This was a fantastic listen and the narrators were perfect for this book. Highly recommend

I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into this book. It is a new author to me and with such a vague description it almost felt like going in blind. For me this book was all about the characters. They are what initially oulled me into the story and they are also what kept my interest the most. The author makes it so easy to believe the characters and their story. I found myself completely absorbed by them.
I really enjoyed this story. It is what I expected but it was well written and a great read. This is definitely worth your time.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an action filled story that easily kept my interest and the pages turning. My only issue with the story is I felt like I was dropped in the middle. Then we are given information after the fact. Some of that us fine as it adds to the suspense and mystery. I enjoyed the characters. A few of them are really realistic in their description of issue they had and I could almost see and feel the ickiness of them. That was very well done by the author. To make the reader feel that about those couple characters.
Overall this is a good quick read. I enjoyed the action and suspense plus I enjoy jungle themed stories because anything can happen. I could easily see reading more stories from this author.

I am going to completely honest that I almost didn’t read this book, the authors warning triggered many things for me but I felt like I needed to know if she could write about these things as well as I anticipated and I have to say she absolutely did. Was it hard to read at times – yes, did I cry remembering some of these things happening to me – absolutely but I absolutely cannot fault the authors writing. It was excellent, she had clearly thought about everything she wrote about and this really was an amazing story. I was hooked from beginning to end and did feel like I was right there with the characters at times, the emotion and heartbreak came across really well.
A truly wonderful read and I 100% recommend it.
