This book is another interesting and unique story from an author who really isn’t scared of pushing boundaries and writing something different. I really enjoyed this book and watching how it all unfolded. Everything felt interconnected and yet I always felt like the author could have taken it in a new direction at any time. The characters were all brilliant. Each fit with the story in their own way and added so much to what was going on. This is the kind of book I would love to rave about, but equally don’t want to spoil anything at all. I would recommend everyone read this and be prepared to be sucked in.

As always, Loriana Cappello does it again, “Strings Attached” is emotional and heartfelt. The characters are well developed and relatable, making it seem like you are right there in the moment. Music and love makes for a great cozy read.
I didn’t need to see what this book was about when I saw who the author was. I instantly picked it up and did not put it down again until I had finished reading it. I was pulled into the story straight, which is exactly what I have come to expect from this author. I loved the characters in this book. They were both so complex and interesting. They each had so much going on in their lives and yet, their connection was undeniable. I loved watching their relationship develop and could have easily kept reading about them. The story was well written too. I was completely invested in what was going on. This book is a fantastic start to a new series and I am really looking forward to the other books.

Knight On Edge by Alice Bienia is like a campy murder mystery. The story writing blended really well with the murder but also with hearing about Jorja’s life. This book is great for people who love who dun its books, people working in detective agencies, and people who love action-packed books. The book also talks about how the wife suspects her husband of cheating and killing his lover because her gun is missing. The book also focuses on the police doing their job but also how the wife keeps calling to get more clues about the case of the murdered victim. Who do you think the killer is, was it the wife trying to frame the husband for murder or was it the jealous husband thinking that the wife is cheating? Find out in this new murder mystery book.

This book is part 7 of the Jorja Knight Mystery Series, and is no less amazing than the other 6. Jorja is a private detective in Canada. Her cases are usually run of the mill investigations into missing people, adultery or similar situations. Her latest case, however, turns into a mess that is most assuredly not what it appears from the outset. Sherrie Langcaster hires Jorja to find out if her husband is cheating, and when she discovers the truth, Jorja assumes she is done with Sherrie’s case. What neither of the women could possibly foresee is just how connected their lives would be from that point, and just how twisted everything around Sherrie and her husband was just about to get, when his mistress turns up dead, and Sherrie’s missing gun is the murder weapon. This mystery is great and will pull you in from beginning to end, but there is plenty of story line to remind you that Jorja is more than just a detective.

This is the first book in the Buck Greene, Railroad Special Agent, Mysteries series. I really enjoyed this murder mystery story and I can’t wait to read more from this series. The author does an amazing job of transporting the reader back in time and fully immersing the reader in the way of life back then. The story is so well woven that I couldn’t guess which turn would be next. It kept me guessing which is what I love. The chapters are short which for me means I read them quickly. I had a constant feeling of reading just one more chapter and then realising I had read 3. The story is so immersive that I couldn’t stop reading once I started.
Buck Greene has just got back from fighting in the Civil war. After fighting for a better life he finds himself returning home to nothing as his parents have been killed during the war. Now he knows he needs a new start so he sets off to find his fortune along the railroads. When he discovers the body of a railroad worker he places himself into the investigation in the hopes of getting a job as a railroad agent. However what he soon realises is that this is not the first murder and it is now a race against time to capture the murderer before they strike again and claim another life.
Will he solve the case before another life is lost? If he does solve the case will this give him the break he needs to become a proper agent?

Woo Hoo Hoo! What a tangled web we weave! I really enjoyed this suspenseful romance. It easily kept my interest between the story and the characters. The story went places I did not expect it to go. The characters are wonderfully driven. The two MC have an idea in mind and will pursue it but not at all costs. They seem to have good chemistry and seemed believable. Secondary characters are somewhat delightful. I really like his roommates and hope they get their own stories. I look forward to more in this series

This book is intended for young children around the ages of 7 to 9 years old, but can probably be read and understood by children of other age ranges as well. This book tells the story of a group of friends who are trying to find what they are best at. As the friends explore and try to figure it out, they discover that for each of them, what they are best at is helping others. The illustrations were well done and colorful, making them engaging for young readers. I would recommend this book for any parent or teacher of young children who is trying to promote kindness and friendliness in the little humans around them. Toward the back of the book, there is even a guide on discussing kindness along with a couple of “games” that can be played with dice to help get the point across even more.

A Tale of Two Crushes by Cori Cooper is a great romance book
Holland Morriss has never really met a guy she could crush on. It makes sense. She lived her whole life in the same town with the same people. It’s just really hard to have a crush on someone you’ve seen eat crayons in kindergarten. Then at the start of her junior year of high school, her family makes a sudden move to a whole different state. Holland’s new life plan is to keep her head down and graduate early so she can hightail it back to Colorado and start college with her best friend Alicia.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down

“A Tale of Two Crushes” by Cori Cooper is a delightful, heartwarming read that perfectly captures the whirlwind of teen emotions and the joy (and chaos) of first love. Holland Morriss is an incredibly relatable protagonist whose internal struggles between two perfect crushes will resonate with readers. Cooper’s writing is fresh, witty, and filled with humor, making it impossible to put down. The story not only explores romantic dilemmas but also themes of self-discovery and friendship, with lovable characters that you root for the whole way through. A sweet, fun, and utterly charming YA romance!

This was a cute book. It was a little advanced for my 4 year old. I like how she explained to her boys a little about their heritage. They understood a bit more. I liked that it told us the names of the garments that they wore.

Ray – Review by Dawn Mitchell
While I am not generally into extraterrestrial stories, I wanted to give this book a try. I’m glad I did. It’s difficult to give much detail without giving things away that were important points in the book and I’d hate to steal the presentation to anyone.
There was a fantastic female lead in Scully that was fun to read. While this is the first book of this universe that I’ve read, it introduced pieces of Sarge’s past and past characters introduced that I’d like to lean more into this great world the author has created. Submarines and covert operations, aliens, suspense, working together, intrigue, suspense and drama – a new author for me, but I really enjoyed how much of themselves and their passion they interjected into this story. Going back to read more of Sarge and his world right now!

I know I’ve said it before but dang it these Hunnicut brothers are delectable 🥰🤣😉
So Charlie owns the renovation/construction company in town and he’s heart is in preserving the i story of the town so when Joy wants to “demolish” her aunts shop he’s quick to try and save it but Joy is a tough but to crack and she sure has her own ideas 🤣🙈
Joy Holiday a city girl just wants to get her business done in Fall River , she inherited her moms run down store “ Crystal Harmony Haven” and let’s just say she has attitude with a capital A and at first her and Charlie are at loggerheads and I’ll be honest I didn’t like her at first but then my heart thaws a little hee I see how she reacts to Charlie’s dogs I believe you can tell slit by the way a person treats animals do be patient with our little diva 🥰😉she’s very different to her quirky mom but every household has its cross to bear and tough times …..
Their road to HEA wasn’t easy and they’ve got a lot to deal with and work through but again they’ve got a brilliant support system in friends and family . I enjoyed their tension , steam and banter almost as much as I enjoyed Noah and Hailey but each couple owns my heart in a different way now it’s up to Reece to see if he can take their place 🤩😉 ( I’m excited for his story)

I’d the cover is anything to go by these Hunnicut boys are blessed with good looking genes 🥰😋😉and they’re “royalty” in their home town Fall River
Noah is about to open “ Miners Tavern “ and his nerves are frayed and his not so friendly neighbour Bruno , his neighbour down the toad and his investor from Aspen are trying their best to thwart its existence but they forget Noah has a brilliant support system in daily and friends but I still feel his tension …..
Hailey , our surfer girl turned health inspector is on her way to visit her sister but has an inspection to do on her way swerves for a dog in a storm and almost causes another accident when Noah swerved out for her , her car is in for repairs and she now finds herself and heart at the mercy of the folks of a Fall River and not only does she fall in love with the Yuen and it’s people but Noah owns her heart ❤️
Dixie , the Tavern manager if you like is a real hoot but she’s got a heart of gold she made me snort laugh on more than one occasion🤣and although I didn’t have much time for the wicked Ursula she does redeem herself so be open minded with her and of course there’s Bruno , what a chop 🙈and let’s not forget the sleazy Cliff 🤮 keep your eye on him and your fists bunched up he’s a real snake .
Rover aka Alex Luthor aka Chance is a real sweetheart 🥰🦮🐾 and could melt any ice capped heart especially with his history but fear not he’s landed with his furry butt in the gutter and is adored by all 🥰
I loved every page of this read and the people of Rivet Fall just climb into your heart and it’s a place where friends become family ❣️
Yes there was a bit of tension and yes I shed a tear it 2 but I laughed more than anything else because the people are just so real !

Second chance romance? Yes. The years that have passed since Angie and Tommy went separate ways have led to a lot of heartache and growth. This one starts off with a punch to the gut and a ton of heartbreak. But it leads to something fated.

This book was so much fun to read. The characters are well developed and has you wanting to learn more about them. I really enjoyed the fact that there is a strong female lead character and other strong female supporting characters given the time period this book is set in. Every character is under suspicion and I couldn’t wait to find out who the true killer was. Ms. Butler has you guessing till the end in this historic who done it.

I absolutely love getting to read about Sparky’s different adventures and the author does a great job of making each one feel fresh and original. This time she is stowed away on a cruise ship, she thought was headed for the South Seas, but it turns out to be filled with silent movie stars! She is mistaken for someone else and forced to be the lead in the all-girls chorus. As always, Sparky somehow manages to get involved with a mystery surrounding her mistaken identity as well as a passenger going overboard. The author continues to write vivid tales that really make you feel like you are back in the 1930’s and experiencing that Sparky is. The story continues to have well written characters that are easy to imagine and connect with. Another well written and researched cozy mystery from the author in a series you will want to keep reading.

This book is geared to ages 7-9 but I think it should start a bit younger and go older. So many kids can benefit from learning kindness. The illustrations are very cute and will draw your child’s attention. There are interactive and educational games in the back of the book to further engage the kids.

My favorite character throughout the story is Alice, an archer with a fierce desire for autonomy. The pacing of the narrative is commendable! It’s fast-paced yet allows for moments of reflection that deepen Alice’s character. It picks up as Alice and her friends cross into an ancient realm full of magic and danger. The author excels at world-building, painting vivid imagery that pulls you into the experience. Every character is well-developed, each with their own motivations and secrets that add depth to the narrative. The author’s knack for expertly crafting relatable dialogue and moments of levity balances the darker elements of the plot.
This is a marvelously promising start to The Intrigue of Magic series! It captivates with its blend of relatable characters, powerful enchantments, and relentless action. Fans of YA Fantasy will undoubtedly find themselves swept away in Alice’s adventure and eagerly awaiting the next installment. If you’re ready for a journey filled with mystery and magic, this book is a must-read!

J. Evias – Review by Shannen Kern
I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind with her characters. This is the second book in the amazing Fall River series. I love good enemies but this story exceeded my expectations. This book could be read as a standalone but there are previous characters in this book as well. I was so excited to read this book that I started it right away and couldn’t stop until the end. You can’t help but to fall in love with these two characters. I absolutely loved their banter with each other. I can’t wait to see who she will write about next.
Joy loves her city life in Chicago and she never wants to go back to the small towns again. She is shocked when she finds out that she now has inherited her moms old shop called Crystal Harmony Haven in Fall River. Joy has had some good memories in that building but she wants to tear it down so she can get back to her city life. When she meets the very handsome Charlie she knows he will get the job done. Joy is upset when she finds herself fighting with Charlie about this building. He wants to restore it because of the history so she is stuck in this small town once again. Will Joy get the job done and leave or will she find herself in love with the small town once again? Review by @heatherbass

The Fixer: An Enemies to Lovers Small-Town Romance (Book 2 in the Fall River Series)
Of the three brothers I think Charlie is my favorite, I think it was Noah that described him as a golden retriever and honestly that is a pretty accurate description of him. He and Joy while they are interested want nothing to do with the other and I understand it at first.
Mother/daughter relationships are challenging on the best of days. Joy and her mother don’t have a relationship and speaking from experience it sucks to not have the love and support of the one person who should be your biggest cheerleader.
The dynamic between Charlie and Joy is a very very cold to maybe tepid initially but that changes, they seem to grow on one another.
I cannot wait for Reece’s book. I’m dying to know what makes him tick. Until then I will sit and wonder.

This story of Angie and Tommy will piss you off, make you cry, make you laugh, and make your heart flutter with happiness and love. There is so much depth in this book that I couldn’t put it down. You will be on a roller coaster of emotions through out the entire story. I read this from cover to cover in one sitting. This is the 2nd book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone.
I really hope there is another one. (And I am going to go back and read the first)
