Murder by Moonlight (Felines of Fairytale Forest Book 1)Murder by Moonlight by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a fun read! A theme park, cats, and a murder mystery! I love the characters in this story. It’s really interesting to see how the cats interact with the humans in the book to try to solve the murder. No one wants their park to be shut down. I love the fact that the cats seem to have different gangs in the park. It adds a lot of interest and fun to the story. I cannot wait to read more!

One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper – Review by Mandy Ott

One Quarter VillainOne Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cori Cooper’s YA fantasy, One Quarter Villain, is such a fun, exciting, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of read. I fell in love with the characters, who are well-rounded, humorous, and fabulously flawed. I fell in love with the world building, the added elements of well-known fairy tales mixed in with unique and adventurous new places. The drama, secrets, friendship and family dynamics, touch of magic, and additional challenges kept me guessing until the very end. Maddy’s world, and her belief in only good or only evil (very black and white existence) is turned upside down when she learns she is one quarter Villain by blood. There is so much going on in this story, but it all flows well together and creates a one of a kind story that I couldn’t put down.

Percy's Brides: A Double Trouble RomancePercy’s Brides: A Double Trouble Romance by Ivy Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. Going in, I had completely misunderstood what the book was about as far as the two brides thing. I didn’t really realize it was a “mail order bride” type of a thing. It was definitely my first book with that plot line. I thoroughly enjoy reading new themes unlike others I have read, so this ended up being a huge plus for me. It can show how family butting in and pressuring you can be really tough. It can put you in circumstances you likely would not have been in without their “help”.
Percy writes multiple letters in order to find someone to settle down with. Two women end up showing up and he must choose one to spend his life with. They soon realize, sometimes there are more important things to worry about, like loss and community. It really changes how things are seen for all of them. Who does Percy choose in the end? Read to find out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After how much I enjoyed the first two books in this series, I could not wait to start reading the third. This book is the perfect example of the amazing work I have come to expect from this author. The story is just as unusual and exciting as the others in the series. I was pulled into the story with ease and I could not put this book down.
I loved how unique this whole series it. The descriptions really give nothing away about these books and how amazing they are when you get into them. They are the best original surprise you could ask for and I would highly recommend the whole series to anyone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book forms part of the Serrulata series, although it can be read as a standalone. However, I would definitely recommend reading all of them to get the most enjoyment! This book is a tale of forbidden love and the perils the main characters face when they navigate this. The overall story is exciting to read. It spans over a number of years which allows the story to really build, even though it is only a novella.
This whole series is a great read and one I would definitely recommend. Each book just adds to it and I enjoyed this particular addition.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed all of the books that form part of this series so far, but I think this one must be my favourite so far. Partly, this is due to the fact my kids enjoyed it the most, with the Christmas theme to this one. They loved following the adventures of Oscar and Emmy during the festive period. It is also partly because of the images in this book. The whole series has been full of vivid and brilliant illustrations but the ones in this book are just incredible. They really bring the whole story to life and reinforce the festive feeling this books holds. The book was fun to read, and it one we have already read multiple times. We are all looking forward to what else is to come next.

Catch A Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Book 2)Catch A Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Catch a Cowboy is the 2nd book in the Match Made in Montana series by Rachelle Paige Campbell. I am enjoying this series so far. This book follows yoga instructor/kindergarten teacher Stephanie and cowboy Ted. Stephanie has had a crush on Ted all summer but somehow loses the ability to speak when she is around him, when Ted’s niece becomes one of Stephanie’s students, she realises she will need to communicate with him to make sure that the little girl is looked after. However, the extra attention she pays her newest student doesn’t go unnoticed by a few devious parents who are determined to make Stephanie fall in line. This was a really enjoyable read. I felt for Ted, who was scared to be hurt again after a tragedy in his past and felt myself getting quite angry about the treatment Stephanie was receiving from the helicopter parents, I found that I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know how it ended. I am looking forward to the next installment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bad Enough is the 2nd book in the Dead Man’s Tribe series by Nicole Craig and I am really enjoying this series so far. I would recommend reading book 1 first as this story carries on directly after it. This book follows Sylvan, better known as Flame, who is a romance writer interested in learning more about the BSDM scene, when she is connected with TB she gets a bit more than she bargained for. When their online relationship is catapulted into the real world their worlds collide when the missing women that Tribe is investigating overlaps with Flames apparent stalker. Desperate to keep her safe TB needs to learn more about the woman he is determined to save, however, Flame’s past has some secrets she would rather never come to light. I really liked this story, I love the supporting characters (especially Nemo) and am looking forward to the next book.

This book is another fantastic addition to the adventures of Oscar and Emmy. I really do enjoy the way that the author tells these stories through the eyes of the cats, and how entertaining she makes it. It perfectly engages the intended audience with a fun yet educational story.
The illustrations are imaginative and beautifully drawn. They really bring the story to life and make it easy to picture everything that is going on. This book was another success in our house and I am looking forward to see what these cats will get up to next.

Whiskey Throttle is the 6th book in the Moto X series, by Brooke May. This is the first book I have read in this series and wish I had started at the beginning as I think it would have made the book more readable for me, I will go back and read the others. I have, however, read books by this author before so knew before I started that it was going to be good. This book follows Parker as he realises that the life he was living wasn’t the life that he wanted and he needs to make some serious changes in order to regain his family before they are lost forever. This book was a real page-turner as I wanted to find out what happened next. Would recommend.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a western, historical (clean) romance and it was good. I enjoyed the drama of not one, but two “brides” showing up within days of each other…both expecting to marry Percy. And then there’s the town drama when the coal mine collapses so there is enough drama to go around. I liked the characters and I thought the plot was OK. There were some inconsistencies throughout the book and a few plot holes, but I would definitely pick up another book by this author if I’m looking for a pallet cleanser or something light to read.

I absolutely love this author and read nearly everything she puts out. This one had me laughing out loud many times and I easily read it in one sitting. Valkyrie is phenomenal when it comes to writing relatable characters even though her plot lines are usually out of this world. She amazes me every time because I get pulled in on the first page and she doesn’t let me go until the very end. The characters in this book are very unique; however, still extremely relatable. If you are looking for a good laugh and something quick then this is the read for you!

Percy’s Brides is the first book I’ve read by Ivy Hart. It’s a historical western romance. Not typically my cup of tea, but I found it a rather enjoyable read. Percy is the youngest of his family and he knows his brothers will get the family farm so he makes sure his future is set and owns a hardware store. His mother wants him to marry. He’s just interested in running his business. Unexpectedly, a woman, Clara, shows up believing she is to marry Percy. She’s a mail order bride! After spending a week with her, he starts warming up to the idea and thinking maybe this won’t be so bad. Then a second woman, Amelia, another mail order bride, shows up expecting to marry him as well! I would definitely recommend this book. It was a rather quick read.

This was a great informative read into the reasons why we procrastinate and how we can make changes that will make us more productive with our time and lives.
I am bad when it comes to procrastinating and it interesting to read that by doing that it puts me in a disempowered state which I was never aware of before. This book allowed me to look into the reasons why I procrastinate and lose focus and I was very surprised.
The hints and tips to overcome this was amazing and after implementing some I can feel my attitude and focus improving.

I would really recommend this for people who want to get a handle on procrastinating and want to find a way to improve their focus on all tasks and areas in their life.

It was very informative but written in a way that everyone could understand and digest the information.

I enjoyed reading this second chance romance story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoy their attention to details that pull me into the character’s world with ease. Their characters come to life on every page and keep me turning pages to the end. This is a well written story about Lord Patrick and Commandant Iseul. Patrick’s only responsibility is to take over for his father and get married someday. But he has a secret that could destroy everything for him. Iseul has a lot on his plate. He has given in to his passion once and vowed not to do it again. When fate throws them into the same tavern, will their passion reunite? You don’t want to miss this story for sure. These two characters are connectable and make the story easy to read. They have great growth as well as chemistry throughout. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

his story is by an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy their writing style as well as their creativity that make their characters pop off the pages. This is a well written story about Maddy. She is one that always follows the rules until she turns seventeen and a DNA test changes everything for her. Now she finds herself in a fairytale that she has always dreamed of. Will she have to make a choice to be a villain or the happily ever after she has dreamed about? I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. I felt for her in parts and way to go in other parts. She made the story easy and entertaining to read. There is great growth throughout the story with Maddy and the plot that made it hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

This book has the potential to be Great but, I believe the author missed the mark with character development, or perhaps that is how she wanted her main character to be. This is a new to me author, I will have to read another of her works before I will be recommending her to friends. I would say give this book a shot and form your own opinion. There were too many Agatha Christie references for me. I like to form my own conclusions or guesses of who done it and I feel this author was holding my hand leading me to the conclusion.

The characters have shown their resilience and how they each handle the trials and tribulations they have faced in their own way. I especially like when Percy comes at crossroads, when he doesn’t know what to do, he goes to the church to contemplate the situation in peace and quiet.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance which kept me happily tuning the pages. Set in a small prairie town, Percy Sutton is the proprietor of the towns hardware store. Percy is looking for a partner to share his life and his business with. He’s looking for love, but things get complicated when his family’s meddling results in two mail-order brides turning up to marry Percy. Clara arrives with a trunk full of books hoping to educate the town. Her and Percy share the same dreams and are planning on building a home and community together. However, when Amelia also arrives believing Percy is her match, Percy’s future with Clara is not so certain. When there is a tragedy at the community’s coal mine the three must put their personal dramas aside for the greater good of the town. Eventually Percy must choose between a life with Clara or Amelia. This was a heartwarming romance and both the characters and setting came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I found the added historical details transported me back in time, and the small ‘Western’ town feeling definitely came across. I was hooked by the storyline and I found that Percy, Clara and Amelia are all likeable and relatable characters. I was hoping for a HEA, no spoilers, pick up the book!!!

When Megan, the FMC, becomes pregnant and delivers a baby girl, Parker starts trying to deal with the past. But will the pressure of fatherhood and unhealed trauma cause Parker to spiral too far out of control or can he pull back before he looses everything and everyone he loves? This was book 6 of this series but you don’t have to read the first 5 to be able to read this. Great story line.

What a fun romance book this was, I like that the action starts right off. The humor in the story is so fun, and the characters are just awesome. I love that it’s a typical role reversal where the male is more confident in knowing he wants a relationship, and it is the female character who is very back and forth on what she wants. The character development was extremely well written, you get a feel for who your characters are right away, but there is still this deep mystery about our main female, Libby, that makes you wonder why she is so anti-relationships, especially with a cute firefighter that she is obviously attracted too! Zach is such a sweet guy, and his friends are just great to watch as they interact with one another. This is a great first book in a new series that will have you wanting to read more about the other characters and their lack of relationships. I’m looking forward to seeing what the author has next in store for this great group of firefighters.

One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper – Review by Jessie Hopkins

I wish I could read this over and over for the first time. I truly enjoyed every chapter. There are many life lessons that Maddy learns that make you think and consider your own actions. I definitely think this will be a book I suggest for my daughter when she’s older.

Maddy & Leo have such a fun friendship, and like in so many instances, they balance each other out perfectly. Maddy is thoughtful, serious and quieter where Leo is loud, spontaneous and silly. They truly are the best of friends.
Grams is so comforting and knowledgeable. Both by opening up about her own history and to help Maddy with what she is going through currently.

I look forward to reading more about Maddy and Leo and see where their relationship goes.

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood – Review by Jessie Hopkins

Holy Cow! I wasn’t even to the first chapter and was already wanting to clear my schedule because I knew this was worth a binge read.
I felt such a wide variety of emotions throughout this book. Pride, shock, devastation, heartbreak, comfort, relief, the entire array.
I truly felt connected to the character and was engrossed in the story. The desire for Lea to stay away from the media and politics, to live her own life and find her own way. The closeness that she felt with Max being the one person in her life to always protect her and help her however she should need. The joy and relationship she had with her grandmother.
I am anxiously awaiting the net book and look forward to getting to know Max better.

This author is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I have read other books by her, mainly her fantasy book. The Husbands was a quick read with only 126 pages but it didn’t skimp on any details. She still gives us well rounded and well developed characters. Augustine and Dorian met when an assassin makes a mistake. Over a short period of time they developed some intense feelings but they love their wives and know it cannot go any further. Several years later their wives have a chance encounter and become friends, which in turn leads to the men meeting again. Will they admit what they once had or continue on like they never had a meaningful relationship?
