My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!

I love Christmas and romance so put the two together and its magical. Olivia’s sister Jane sounds like a real witch. I don’t understand how any sister can one, feel like they are better than their sister and two, steal away that sister’s boyfriend, it makes me so furious. I like how Olivia just said screw it and booked a cruise instead of spending the holiday with her sister and seeing her ex, awkward. The way she meets Jace is so crazy, how did a man that she wrote on paper become real. I felt like their relationship moved too fast in a short amount of time, but that could also be “Santa” working his “Christmas magic” they seem perfect for each other, and I really like seeing Jace in love with Olivia while caring nothing about Jane. The pace of this book is nice and steady. The twist on what happens to Jane is nice, and the issue between Jace and Olivia is fun to watch. I really enjoyed reading this couple’s story.

The Mating CallThe Mating Call by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thus was a enjoyable, no an amazing read. I loved the how the females in the story appeared to be very strong minded and more of the dominant and struck me more as the alphas than the male at certain times which was a main contribute to the book. Fast read for me, and truly loved it! Freaking amazing story!

This story was a shape shifter book, so of course I had to pick this one up, as I love all those type of stories, this one truly delivered and then some! It was more of shifters meeting and drama with their romance. The story had action and the drama, and love that can go deeper than the grass on a night with a moon being your light! I personally loved the drama side with Cheyenne and her siblings, as they are lion shifters and they are selected for mates, they worry as how their father was. I did not expect that part of the story to come into play, it was a good addition that added to the story and developments of the characters, Cheyenne was for sure my favorite, she changed more than her form, was very admirable!

Cheyenne and Lane, were awesome characters, especially when put together on the same page. I loved Lane almost as much as i admired Cheyenne. For me, though they were each other’s chosen mate. They struck me as a very realistic couple, I mean life is no fairy tale, and you have to go though a lot to get to that happy ending. Again, this is where the character development of Cheyenne really comes into play, from her development with her heart, her trust, and allowing herself to care and more, especially from the trauma she endured. I was hooked with this book, finished it quickly, and I still long for more!

As I have made clear the writing was amazing, and I really loved how the story went about and how all things came together. I did love truly the female lions and how strong they were, they were no easy prey to say for sure! The ways of pack was an interesting thing to learn about, and I enjoyed seeing how things went about with all things that contributed to the story! Amazing, fun and a good read. A must read!

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a great rom com, and very enjoyable from the start. I loved how things started off all the way to the ending of the book. It was very enjoyable and a light hearted read, with moments that brought on the humor as well as the charming moments between our characters. Great read!

I loved how different our main two characters were, and in reality, how much they were the same. I love reading stories where the characters get all these signs as Nadia and Luke did about them being destined to be together, but as modern day people the signs were ignored. Especially by Nadia. The character growth was amazing, again I really enjoyed Nadia’s change the most. I can say I know from experience that letting your guard down is no easy task, but sometimes its something that we all must do?

What was different for me, with this rom com was the true manipulation between these two. Yes the whole enemies to lovers genre, but the games they played on one another was very fun and different, and yes it was unexpected. It really added to the story to what it was. I had a lot of fun reading this book in the series, and I will for sure continue to read the rest of the series by this author!

Again, this was a rather remarkable and enjoyable read for sure. I had a lot of fun, and the characters and plot were different from others I read, and made this story stand out from the rest. The character’s background and development was very realistic, which I loved. Highly recommend this gem of a read!

Unlikely to Fit (A Parker Lake Novel Book 2)Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Fit is the second book in the Parker Lake series by the wonderful Olivia Sherwood and it is absolutely fantastic!!! I fell in love with these characters in the first book and I was so happy to be able to read their individual stories this time. I simply could not put the book down and greedily read it in one day. OMG I haven’t laughed out loud so hard, while reading a book in ages!!! Griffs MeeMaw is absolutely hysterical!!!! I hope I am that sassy at 90!
Griff and Breckin have both had their hearts totally broken, in very different ways, but being able to understand each others pain is something that I think helps them bond and a new love to grow. They are just such wonderful characters and from start to finish you want only the best for them. They will face some more heartache and some twists and turns along the way but together they can get through anything.
Do yourself a huge favour and head on over to Parker, you won’t regret it!

I was excited to read this story. We met Nadia and Luke in the last book. They really seemed like oil and water. I knew fireworks were going to happen. I was not disappointed. These two would have had a tougher go of it if they didn’t have friends and family.

The story is a good one but at times it seemed overly long. I almost would have preferred more action between them (not sexual but forced proximity or more run ins). I also feel the storyline with Esme did not get finished.

Overall this is a good story that gives the feels. We get to see a lot of the two MC from book 1 who help the story along.

Wow what a fun read Spoilsport by Belinda Williams is! I have to admit I absolutely loved the fact that it was set in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley region, being a Hunter Valley girl myself it was so much fun being able to completely connect with the places mentioned. Don’t worry though anyone reading this Fab book will love it, you don’t have to be a local to enjoy it.
The path to love is definitely not a smooth one for Nadia and Luke and at times I wanted to scream at Nadia to wake up to herself and see what an amazing guy Luke is. To me that’s the sign of a great book if you are that involved the characters become so very real to you. As you delve deeper into the book you realise all Nadias strong bravado comes from some very painful places and you want nothing more for her than the love she deserves…Luke is just the man for that job, he just has to convince her of that.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A story of what comes of three adults who suffered a childhood of abuse in many different forms, by their mother. Turns out their mother was not only torturing them and making their lives miserable. When the death of their mother brings the middle child Vic back to Grimsby more mysteries blossom through the town. Each of the children possess a special talent that makes them a force to be reckoned with. Will the death of their abusive, narcissistic mother bring the siblings back together?

I really enjoyed this book. I read it quickly and couldn’t put it down most of the time. There was always a mystery to be solved in it. Byrd Nash has a way of writing her characters and describing everything that has you picturing everything as you go. I do like how she kept you wondering what more could possibly happen and how deep did the corruption in this odd town go. Definitely glad I read it and I would read more by Byrd Nash!

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery with a magical twist and witches to boot! There are so many things happening throughout this book that you will never be bored. It will keep you turning those pages.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the fourth book in The Caught series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on the first page and could not put it down until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will write about next.

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett is a really good read! This is an MC romance, with mystery, danger, drama and more.
In this story, we follow Red, who is mentioned in previous books of the Satan’s Devils MC series.
Red, in search of warmer weather to ride his Harley year round, is on a mission of self discovery. He meets a waitress, at a café he’s stopped at and one thing leads to another and well, you know… things happen. He hasn’t always had it easy and climbed his way to the top to become the Prez of the Satan’s Devils Vegas Chapter.
But is there more? Is this all there is for him? The book did end in a cliffhanger and I’m excided to read Part 2 to see how things play out!

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
You could feel the connection between the characters and the author does a great job with their story as well.

Both Elgin and Mary Beth have things they are trying to move forward from. There is something about Elgin that calls to Mary Beth and she has the need to help him. Can these two help each other move forward? Can they have a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this steamy read. My emotions were all over the place. I loved Mary Beth, she was feisty and she cared deeply about helping Elgin. Elgin tugged at my heart strings with the things from his past. If your looking for a great erotic romance I highly suggest this one. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Pierce Brothers series, and we get to watch another brother fall hard. Belinda Williams knows her way around romantic comedy, and this book will definitely having you smiling, laughing, and cheering through to the end.

Nadia was unexpected. You truly feel for her and the emotional baggage she holds regarding her parents toxic marriage and messy divorce. She was very jaded about love and relationships with a determination to never let that sentimental 4 letter word break her. She was a hard character to love and connect with in a sense. However there were many times I adored her, wanted to yell at her, shake her, or just hug her with the way she had my emotions going lol. Eventually I warmed up to her character, and I was rooting for her. Luke was sweet, lovable, and a great father. He saw past Nadia’s cold exterior, and saw the beautiful and amazing woman she was.
When Nadia and Luke reconnect because her house is in dire need of a little TLC it becomes Luke’s chance to get his girl. Opposites truly attract as he pushes her outside her comfort zone and we are pulled into their many cheesy moments adorned with playful banter. Nadia is determined to keep her heart and distance from Luke even with the daily close encounters. The miscommunication and the tension runs high, but deep down they are both aware that the one night stand they had would never ben enough. Luke wants his next love story to be the works, and he wants it with Nadia. A dream home is not truly a house without a family, and this story really brings you home.

It just keeps getting better. The second book in series in the Pierce Brothers series; was just as good as the first. While I was a fan of Tom from Mr. Nice Guy, I’m even a bigger fan of Lucas. I enjoyed the chemistry between him and Nadia, how they both had to work on being vulnerable with each other. Spoilsport is fun, witty, charming, easy to read, lighthearted and humorous.

This is my first time reading any of Manda Mellett’s books, and I was not disappointed. Red’s Peril Part 1 was not what I was expecting, honestly. I haven’t really read any MC books in the past so wasn’t sure what to expect but Manda Mellett’s description of the brotherhood surrounding this particular MC was very well written. I could feel the trust and connection the characters had with one another. And I couldn’t help but fall a little bit in love with Red. His realistic growth throughout the book, his haunted past, his sometimes uncertain future, and his can’t-miss-him hair draws the reader in and doesn’t let go. I can’t wait to read more about Red and the rest of the Satan’s Devils MC!

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Elements of the Crown is the first book in the Elements of Kamdaria by Kay L Moody and is a combination of four novellas: Ice Crown, Wind Crown, Dust Crown, and Flame Crown. It is a story about a girl named Talise who came from the farthest reaches of the Kamdaria where the criminals reside, the Storm. No one leaves the storm unless they can shape elements and become a Master Shaper. Ten years of training at an elite academy for a chance to compete before the Emperor for the title of Master Shaper. For a girl from nowhere she has more skills than anyone in her training until Aaden arrives at her academy to train for the last year with skills that rival her own. The story follows these two main characters who have both trained for this moment. Who will be the chosen by the Emperor? What fate does that really entail for them next?

The story was a page turner that kept me reading to find out what would happen next. Trying to figure out the motives and next moves for the different characters was a continuous cycle from start to end. It kept me hooked with all the plot twists. Her character and world building were great. I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to continue reading with the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snowflakes & Stockings is another really cute book by Marianne Rice, in the Wilton Hills Christmas series. It can be read as a stand alone- it is the first book I read in this series and I loved it. I look forward to reading the others, as they are each about one of Liberty’s siblings. At first it had a Fifty Shades vibe to it- not the bondage, but the characters. Young innocent reporter interviewing gorgeous millionaire bachelor. The mystery surrounding he and his family… But, this book was clean and adorable. I loved the characters and their chemistry. Liberty has a really tightknit family and they are all loveable. I liked the added tidbit of how she and her siblings got their names, it really brought the family to life. I like that Sawyer was really sweet, and wish there was a little more detail about his childhood loss. I felt it was breezed over and he didn’t get as much background built as Liberty. I recommend this book as a quick cute romantic book to get you in the holiday spirit, and enjoy the happily ever after.

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am notoriously guilty of finding something I’m interested in and then immediately overwhelming myself with so much information that I don’t know where to start. The practice of magic is something that has interested and entertained me for as much of my life as I can remember. Like most other things, any knowledge I gathered seemed overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start and not screw something up.

Maria DeBlassie does a phenomenal job of making the practice of magic be much more achievable in this book, and reading it has made me finally understand how I can do every day things with intent, and use my intentions as a way to bring a little magic into my life and the lives of those I love. There are no magical requirements listed in this book other than learning to accept and love parts of yourself you have been trained to let wither, and use them to strengthen your connection to your sense of self as well as understand your strengths and the kind of magic that is available to you when you do that. She does a wonderful job of sharing her own practices and what led her to them – as well as what parts of her life led her away from them before she started down the path she leads.

I’d label this book as self help more than a “witchy” book, but it is honestly the first book on paganism and a magic lifestyle that I have truly felt I connected to, and helps me provide a wonderful base to now start adding on to. The things I’ve read in the past were much more practice based, involving divinations, in depth knowledge already required, and this book made me feel seen – like someone knew where I needed to start. This book feels like Marie is talking directly to me, leading me to the beginning of the path to start daily practices for better self care, living with intent, and understanding what my goals are. I don’t think I was ever able to really visualize my witchy goals before this book, as it was more of a daydream of what I could do “when I had time”.

I loved this book and am very thankful I found it. I look forward to reading the other Practically Pagan books, as well as more by Marie DeBlassie.

This book did not turn out to be what I was expecting, but I think I like it more than what I expected. Byrd Nash weaves a wonderful tale that has a dash of magic, as opposed to a magical fantasy land with mystical creatures. It is a much more contemporary read with talk of traumatic life events, murder, mystery, and a touch of romance.

Rachel Rowan used her magical talents to traumatize her neighbors, and used her kids as pawns to use their talents in her favor. When their mother dies, Phillipa, Victoria and Liam are left to fit together the pieces of the messes she made and the fallout her choices lead to.

It’s a little hard to put a genre that fits the whole of the book, but I was hooked and happily surprised my interpretation of what the book WOULD be turned out to be incorrect. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I had no clue when I downloaded this book that there were three other books before Snowflakes and Stockings. But no the less I picked right up on the storyline. I felt like I was in the middle of a Hallmark movie scene the whole way through the book. Rice did a great job setting the tone while keeping the reader hooked.
Liberty is a driven, independent spitfire who comes from a big close family. While Sawyer is equally driven and independent, he is the co-owner of Maine’s big tech firm. While Liberty is trying to investigate the identity of Maine’s Secret Santa, which she hopes will help her to land a promotion at her job, she comes across Sawyer. Personally, the way Rice developed Sawyer’s character I found very relatable. He comes from a workaholic family background, who don’t spend too much time outside the office together. When Liberty invites Sawyer to Thanksgiving dinner, she has no idea that he would fit in so perfectly.
I truly fell in love with this book so much that I downloaded the three-book the preceded Snowflakes and Stockings. This series is a must-read series, especially with the holidays approaching.

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I think I grabbed this book having high expectations with it, I read a lot of fantasy, magic, supernatural so I think maybe I was thinking it would be different then what it really was. Don’t get me wrong the book itself was very good, the plot line is just as good and really fits the characters the conflicts made me really think and wonder what was going to happen. I was intrigued by the characters in this novel. With a wonderful mix of personalities, how amazing of friends and family that they all seem to be. The characters in the book you can’t not enjoy, trying to fix issues that came up, problem solving, and how they all got along as good friends and family. The flow and the way you can easily read this book, it was a very short read for me. I really thought there was going to be more magic and supernatural not a book about black mail and murder. It was an enjoyable book on a low-key kind of way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Naomi Valkyrie has done and stole my heart once again with Fate, Frankincense & Funerals! This little gem might be a short read but man does it pack a punch! The world that Ms. Valkyrie has really become fully developed and just pops off the screen of your kindle as you read and that is hard to do with novellas, but also a really strong point of Valkyrie’s writing skills. She knows how to create these worlds so beautifully with vivid words that make you feel as if you can taste the air and smell it at the same time as you feel the ground you are walking on while you stand beside your character you are reading. I particularly loved the journey and the world we got to experience in Fate, Frankincense & Funerals. It was slightly dystopian and built on ancient laws that are heavily outdated. The shifter races are highly believable and I really loved the way they were described. I liked the way the romance was really prevalent in this one, something Naomi Valkyrie hasn’t played with quite as much in the past novels I have read of hers. I look forward to seeing what we will get next from her!
