Fate, Frankincense & Funerals Naomi Valkyrie this is a very short story. I normally won’t read anything under 200 pages but I figured I’d mix things up. I loved this story and wish this would become a full novel as well as a series, Its that good. I was so sad when it ended. It takes a different spin on shifters and that intrigued me as I continued to read I fell into the story and didn’t want it to end.
I have never read a book quite like this one! Lauren Besoner is a court stenographer who is trying to start fresh after a recent divorce. She soon finds herself accused of murdering a local judge. In a page-turning whodunit, author Merissa Racine kept me thoroughly engrossed with secrets and reveals. I love, love a smart female main character!

This book was such a sweet Christmas Hallmark Movie in the making! Liberty Johnson is a reporter who has been working on a piece for a few years now. She is looking for a Secret Santa Claus who has been donating millions of dollars worth of presents for families in Maine who deserve a true Merry Christmas. When she narrowed down her choices, she came down to a young millionaire named Sawyer Campbell. Ever since they met for a quick interview, they have been seeing more of each other closer to the holidays. There is love, family, and friendship in this story that deserves it all!
This is the second installment in the Bobbins Sisters Series from Debra Parmley, Check In, and I would have to say I really was excited to get my hands on it after reading the first one. You don’t have to have read that one to enjoy this one, however we do meet our main character in the first book and have some background there so that may enrich your reading since this is a fast and brief read. I would have to say this is a struggle for me again with this book. I just wanted a bit more again. It had so much going for it and I loved some parts but every time I got going and invested it just felt like I was slighted and cut off. I would have invested the time and read more if I was given it so I hope that the shorter novels aren’t to appeal to the reader and keep them interested. I felt as if this story could have really just exploded in some places and become a huge thriller. I do look forward to seeing what book three will bring us and the hope that we will get a bit longer of a read in that one. I am looking forward to spending the dime with the Bobbins sisters.

I really enjoy every book that I have read of Ms. Moody’s so far, but I have to say this collection of novellas, The Elements of the Crown, has to be my favorite I have read of hers so far. This has just about everything you could want in a fantasy and adventure read. I was constantly on the edge of my seat and found myself struggling to put this sucker down to get anything done in the adulting world. I mean this is a sign of a good book though so what could be wrong with that?!? I loved how this book had so many different layers to it. Even though it is labeled as a young adult genre novel, I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved it as a middle aged woman and feel like it had a wonderful balance of romance, suspense, adventure, intrigue, and more, all on a level that could be enjoyed at many ages. I am excited to see what comes next in this series and whatever collection may come next from Kay L. Moody!

Moody – Review by Liz Vrchota
Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series centering on Sofia and Enzo’s story in the thrilling world of the Italian American mafia. Sofia and Enzo grew up together, their relationship becoming strained after a few life-altering events that eventually put a rift between them. However, neither can deny the chemistry and unshakable bonds that link not only their day-to-day lives but hearts. Soon their shared past comes back to haunt them and secrets are revealed. Blood Oath filled in some of the few questions I had after reading the first book (No Way Out) and I really enjoyed learning more about the lives these characters live and the rules they live by. Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series though you can read any of the books in the Mafia Elite series as standalones.
This book made me feel all the sappy emotions! This is such a cozy snuggle by the Christmas tree read. Love always grows in unlikely places and this pair is no different. Highly recommend for those who like romantic happy endings. Book 4 in the series of Wilton Hills series

Who doesnt love a book that starts right off walking into find your bosses bloody body? This book has many twists an turns, the cop an reporter procedures kept the book interesting when the rest was lacking. Looking forward to seeing what the next book in the series has in store for us. I hope Lauren and Sam come back again so we get to see where their romance takes us.

I completely loved this book. These two had me laughing, and rooting for them the whole time. Not wanting to open her heart to love, Nadia is fighting her feelings for Luke. I love this series of brothers and them finding love. This is a great series of standalones but you’ll want to read them all no matter what.

I was so excited to read the second book in the Pierce Brothers series and it certainly did not disappoint! Spoilsport by Belinda Williams was a quick read for me, full of steamy encounters and tangible chemistry between the two main characters.
Nadia and Luke were both introduced in the first book and I was happy to learn more about their relationship as well as hear updates about Chelsea and Tom in this installment of the series. The book watches as ‘cold-hearted’ Nadia slowly warms up to Luke, whom is helping her with her fixer-upper house. The author wrote the book in such a way that I felt like I was going through what they did as I was reading it, which was right on par with the first book! I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Baby/pregnancy romance can definitely be a guilty pleasure! This book is no different! I wish I could go back and read book 1 of Stephanie Harrell’s Curvy Ever After series, but that’s just me! It’s definitely not necessary! Surprise Baby for Mr.Fischer can definitely hold its own. Harper, the baby of seven girls in her family, meets Kade when he thinks he’s saving her from drowning. Which leads to a wonderful weekend spent together and I’m sure you can guess the outcome. What Harper doesn’t know is that Kade is his middle name and that Lincoln Erickson is a rising star in Hollywood. Harper lives under a rock with her love for antiques; she doesn’t have time to keep up with celebrities. Lincoln never thought a wonderful weekend would leave him longing to see her again. Heading into the holiday season this book is about the adventures ahead for Lincoln and Harper as they navigate what they feel, their impending child, and Lincoln’s fame. Harper who’s stubborn as a mule and doesn’t make it easy(also very frustrating, I wanted to jump into the story and scream at her.) Lincoln wants to give her everything and then some, but will she ever be able to handle and accept it? I guess you’ll have to read and find out. A sweet romance set in Rhode Island is what dreams are made of!

Hold onto your horses and strap yourself in because Caught in Midnight Shadows will take you for a ride! The suspense throughout the book literally keeps you on the edge of your seat! This book has two povs, Brant and Audrey. Without giving too much away, Brant has some weird things going on in his life. His barn being burnt down, and a few other things. Audrey is haunted by her trauma from a little kid, brought on by the death of her Great Aunt Tilda. Both seek solace in each other while trying to not get attached. The romance builds between them it’s almost palatable and you can feel it as the reader. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I greatly enjoyed the book, The ending wrapped everything up in a neat little bow, although it did have me a little worried there for a minute. The writing was phenomenal and Sharleen Scott has a good way of hooking you in and keeping you there. I loved how nothing was too over the top, but still down to Earth and relatable. I could see that happening to me without too much imagination. I cant wait to read her other books!

Sofia is a mafia princess making her own name in the world. While preparing for her debut show in Milan, she spots one of the member of the Russian mafia watching her. This results in everyone raising their guards and trying to keep Sofia safe while finding out what it is he wants from Sofia. All the while she is trying to not cross the line with Enzo, whom made a blood oath to her when they were children to always protect her. He isn’t hers to have and she can’t be his. But will they fall into each other’s arms after 4 years of pushing the other away?
Spoilsport by Belinda Williams.is the second book in the Pierce Brothers series. I thought this book was even better than the first one and I loved the mix of seriousness and comedy. I thought the author got the balance just right which added a depth to the book. Luke and Nadia are great characters. They have such a strong chemistry but there are so many things in their way. I enjoyed what the author did with the book as a whole. I thought it was entertaining and a great read from start to finish. I can’t wait to see what is next from this author.

Life in the mafia is far from easy, but as the hated daughter of a crime boss, Liliana has experienced more hardships than most. The newest edition to her bodyguard team is a carefully placed assassin who is trying to do more than just protect Liliana. Max has a plan, and Liliana is part of it – whether she likes it or not – and has to learn to trust him. Unlike most heroines we see in that kind of situation, Liliana is tough and cautious, not relying on others so heavily that she’s anywhere near ‘damsel-in-distress’. No Way Out sets up a world of action and danger where you have to fight for what you want and the ties that really matter are the ones where love is strongest. Action, romance, and secrets – what else could anyone ask for from a steamy mafia romance?

I think this book is pretty awesome. First of all I love the idea of shaping elemnts… I always wanted to do it myself but you guys know… is not quite possible. They whole story around Talise is pretty awesome. We are not talking about someone who had everything but someone who worked for what she has and honestly it shows us how worth it is it. In my opinion the world building is pretty amazing because is not easy to create a world that you truly believe is real. I felt I was going to get outside my house and be instantly there. I love the work Kay L. Moody has done here and I can confident say that if you love elements shapers and a great story, this book is for you. I don’t know if I have any more word to describe how great it is and unbelievable how much someone can get immerse in this world.

Okay… wow! I took a few days after reading this wonderful story to gather my thoughts and emotionally heal. Overall, I am giving this book 5/5 stars. Amy Argent’s “Come Back Tomorrow” is beautiful and gave me all of the feels including tears, awe, anger, happiness, and love (in no specific order). This story of fighting cancer gave me a new perspective on what patients go through as they decide to forgo medicine and how their pain can impact friends, family members, and partners. I am looking forward to, and hopefully not crying through, book 2.

We pick back up with Vanessa and Grey in the Underworld in this book; but luckily for all of the readers we get some bits of the other brothers as well. 🥰 Elysium is supposed to be the best part of the Underworld but when Vanessa gets there – it’s quiet, colorless and feels like it’s missing something. And!! The judges of the Underworld found enough favor in her to land her right in Grey’s living space which is enough of a shock for him to tuck tail and run. Join Vanessa as she connects with new characters and discovers more of the mystery that makes Vanessa the god magnet she is. This book was devoured in a day and I’m not even mad about it because it was such a fun read.

I’ve been a major fan of novels with Greek mythology themes and this book did not disappoint!! I was a little thrown off with the name changes for a bit at first, but I caught on eventually and the storyline is excellent; not to mention, the verbiage of the steamy scenes had me grinning like a fool. Vanessa Maan is a young woman that loves her family and loves to leave the world around her a little more beautiful than it was before she got there. Her little brother Piper is fighting cancer and all she wants is for him to beat cancer and have a chance of life. How fortuitous it must be when the Don of the Underworld moves in across the street. But is it really? Meanwhile, Reaf – who is a half brother of Mr. Grey (Don of the Underworld) finds himself drawn to Vanessa and the vibrance of person that she is. Rivalry is never pleasant when it is amongst the gods and Vanessa’s life is torn asunder with the new changes happening around her.

This was a funny romance. First off, thank you for the eye candy on the front cover. Yum! Second, it was such a wonderful experience to read a romance about a curvy woman. The story caught me from the beginning with ocean mishap and just kept going from there. It felt real and like it could be happening. The flow was smooth. I loved all the characters. They felt like people you might now and relate to. Just a really great story that you find yourself chuckling through. A quick read that you should definitely pick up and put on your reading list. I am recommending it to everyone.

This is the second book in the Pierce Brothers series. Luke and Nadia, where to even begin. Luke is the oldest of the Pierce boys and has been in love with Nadia for awhile now. Nadia met Luke while he was separated from his now ex wife Tash and has regretted it ever since. She felt that he lied about being married and having a kid. Nadia has never truly known what love is due to her parents relationship when she was younger. She feels that if she does fall in love she will turn out to be just like her mother. Nadia unfortunately is around Luke more than she would like because one of her best friends Chelsea is dating Luke’s younger brother Tom, and Luke stays with them when he is in Newcastle. Nadia has bought a house that she says is trying to kill her; termites, floors are rotten, and the breaker box tried to kill her when it kicked the breaker. Well Luke wants to put in a bid to help her make the house of her dreams. Will Nadia allow it? Read SpoilSport by Belinda William’s, she does not disappoint!!!!

This book was had me intrigued from page 1. I love shifter books and this was the first time I have read a mountain lion shifter story. The story of Cheyenne and Lane is full of pain and trouble. They had to overcome a lot. Cheyenne hoped she could find her own man before the “pull” got her. The story flowed perfect. I really didn’t want to put it down because I could relate to Cheyenne. She wanted to do her own thing away from her family in the small town. Lane just wanted to get away from his past. Together they worked to over come a lot. The characters are well-written and relatable. The plot feels like it could have come from anybody’s life (take away the shifter part, lol). Fantastic book that kept my interest all the way. Give it awhirl. Great read, you won’t be sorry. Highly recommend.

I loved this book and I loved the characters. Nadia and Luke have a second chance at love but after the first time, I don’t think Nadia will give him the second chance. I think Nadia needs to get a grip though. Like was separated….he wasn’t involved with his wife when he met Nadia.
Now Nadia buys a house that pretty Much needs to be gutted because everything is wrong with it. From the holes in the floor and the faulty electric, this house is an accident waiting to happen. Good thing Nadia’s best friends have connections. Nadia wants to have anyone but Luke work on her home but, his quote comes in way less then anyone’s. Luke owns the company so his quote is without his share. Luke had very strong feelings for Nadia during their short relationship and now with him working for you and being so close to her, what will happen? Will Nadia finally see him for the nice, caring, hot, dependable person he is? I thought this book was very well written. I didnt like Nadia at the very beginning but then things become clearer. Cannot wait for Seth’s book!

This is a collection of a book series by an author that I’m very familiar with thanks to other books from her that I have read. I think she has a wonderful way of describing her characters and the world building is simply fabulous. I love that she decided to take the first four books in this series and make them into one book. I’m always a fan of an omnibus. This series is written for the young adult readers but as me and several of my friends have decided it’s more worthy of being an adult novel. However, if you would like your young adult to read it, they will thoroughly enjoy it as well. This is a book that is very innocent and decent for the younger reader in your life and would make a great Christmas gift if you wanted to gift it. I got a bit of a Harry Potter feeling while reading it because these kids are also sent to an academy to help learn and hone their own magical crafts. I am a huge fan, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the next collection of this series.

This was a really quick and entertaining read about Len and Leann. Leann is Betsy’s sister. We met Betsy in Check Out (Book 1). Their story is pretty simple and romantic. Two people with hurts that fall in love. Len is a pretty straight forward fellow who tries to make sure she is treated right. I loved how the book was written. A happy read that brings two through challenges to realize how much they love and care about each other. Almost a “Hallmark” moment. I highly recommend you check out this one. A quick weekend read for those cold weekends when you are stuck inside.

I will admit, it was a little bit of a slow read for me, but I LOVE this story! Very well written story line, and I fell in love with the characters at each level of change within the story! Nadia is giving all the vibes of an independent yet broken young woman, fighting with this crazy possessed home. This woman is fighting to create her own life, and deals with family drama (who doesn’t have any, amirite?), and then meets up AGAIN with this handsome builder. The incessant fighting with him was so fun to experience, as it felt realistic! I understand her desires to stay within her own boundaries….but who can really fight against true love for long?!? Great story with twists and turns, and now I want to know more about all of the Pierce Brothers!

Twilight’s Curse is the first book in the Twilight Realm Series. The series is about elves in one of the five realms: Day, Night, Dawn, Light, and Twilight. This book focuses on the royals in the Twilight realm. The book starts out with Prince Phoenix being woken up and whisked away from the danger that has invaded the Royal Tree. He watches as his parents are murdered, and he is helpless to defend them. The rest of the story follows him as he grows up safely tucked away and going by the name of Nix. As a reader, we grow to love Nix and the man he is becoming. We share in his bewilderment of Zoe, but we grow to love her as he does. Together, they must work to defeat the evil in their realm and reclaim what has been stolen from them. I loved this book so much, and I loved watching the characters grow. I cannot wait for further books in the series!

M. Wray – Review by Rebecca Hill
My only complaint about this short story is that it was to short!! I wanted to keep reading about this Vulture shape shifter, who is sent to help a dying soul, in a city that his “kind” is banned from! Feeling a pull and restlessness, he makes the dangerous journey to Mandara to help the soul come to peace and move on, but man is he in for a few surprises!! Because vultures touch the dead they are shunned and it’s forbidden for them to take mates. But fate always throws some twists in life when you least expect! So what happens when the soul he’s helping has a couple dying wishes that go against all the rules and also holds some secrets of their own?! Will this young Vulture do his job and make a record of her life and her secrets!? Will the soul get her wishes and pass peacefully? Will the cities’ people find the forbidden Vulture in their city and take the law into their own hands? Can they fight what society deems wrong and overcome the hatefulness many have towards them? Ushering souls to move on is their job, yet they are outcasts because of it. This Vulture has many things to overcome, but will he be able to? I hope the author write more! I can totally see this short turned into a series!! I LOVED IT!!!!!
Spoilsport is the 2nd book in the Pierce Brothers series by Belinda Williams. Each book is focussed on one of the Pierce brothers and can be read as a standalone. However, if you are going to read more than one I suggest you read them in order to prevent spoilers. One thing I love about Belinda Williams’ books is that they are set in Australia. It makes such a nice change from reading books set in the US and the UK. I love that I get to know more about different places. Spoilsport tells the story of the oldest Pierce brother Luke and Nadia who is the best friend of Chelsea, the heroine of the first book. Nadia and Luke have history which ended badly and now Nadia hates him. Or does she really? When Luke’s company is given the job of renovating Nadia’s house the sparks are sure to fly. Nadia is one very feisty woman. Hell, I’d be scared of her. I really loved reading Nadia and Luke’s story. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning and was certainly kept entertained and engaged throughout by Nadia’s feisty antics and Luke trying to keep the peace. This story flows really well and has great characters, including Luke’s adorable 9 year old daughter Esme. I’m a real sucker for a cute kid in a book and Esme really is cute. I’d definitely recommend this book.
