Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series Book 1)Secrets, Lies and Betrayals by Lynn Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed how they brought the twist and turns to life. I also enjoyed their attention to details that made the characters come to life who pulled you into the story with ease. This is a well written story about Michaela. Her grandfather was assassinated in front of her and almost took her life as well. She has remained hidden for a long time. Now that she is back, she finds herself in the middle of a media mess. Maxwell was head of security back then and has been asked to do security presently. What will happen with the things that are lurking in the shadows? I enjoyed watching the growth from beginning to end of the characters and the plot. The twists and turns will have you coming back for more. This suspenseful story is one you don’t want to miss. I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book.

Man oh man! Such a wonderful book! You get hooked in so fast with this one! The first chapter had me cracking up! You will fall in love with these characters so quick. You’ll be yelling at them, laughing at them, and so much more while you follow their story. In this book you meet Libby and Zach. Libby has been in Woodvally Pines all of one day and she’s already caught her kitchen on fire. With toast! Yes, you read that right. Toast!! LOL. Who knew that toasters could just spontaneously burst into flames? She sure didn’t!! So she’s in shock still when the firemen come to the recue. Zach is trying to look over Libby to make sure she is okay. She’s in pink Disney pajamas, ranting about people keeping toaster fires a secret, and boy is he trying his hardest not to laugh! The spark between the two of them is instant. Only problem is Libby doesn’t date. So begins the rollercoaster of Zach trying to change her mind. Will these to burn each other before everything falls apart or will the spark ignite and last forever? These two are so cute and funny. You will really enjoy this funny romance. Plus there are hunky firefighters! 🙂

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff – Review by Shadel Ayerbe

Summer of MudSummer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff is a great historical children book

Twelve-year-old musical prodigy Scoob hopes to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Louis Armstrong and become a jazz legend in the summer of 1976. She must, however, leave the streets first. Scoob believes her luck is going to change when she gets a lucrative gig; she gets to perform in front of a well-known band leader who has his own TV show. However, RC, Scoob’s elder brother, takes his younger sister along on an unwanted road trip. Scoob and RC are broke and unable to buy food, so they “borrow” gas along the route until they become stuck in the tiny Idaho town of Rexburg. Residents of the picturesque rural village are divided over the safety of a recently constructed dam, which is the subject of intense discussion.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Unrequited Love (Magic and Heartache Series) by E.L. Roux – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Unrequited Love (Magic and Heartache, #1)Unrequited Love by E.L. Roux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging fantasy romance which kept me happily turning the pages. This is a fairly quick read as it’s a novella and is set in a world where magical and non-magical people live in harmony. Jordan is a seer who owns a coffee shop where she serves coffee with a special twist, however she’s been in a rut since her boyfriend Nathan dumped her. She now has to watch him with his new fiancé in her coffee shop everyday and it’s suppressing her seer emotions. Then Cane who is grouchy with an awkward smile and curled horns makes her body come alive again. Cane offers her a deal, for her to perform a Wiccan vision quest for Nathan and his fiancé and in return she will have a steamy night wrapped in his muscled arms. I liked the chemistry between Jordan and Cane and also how their relationship developed throughout the story. I felt the magical setting was brought to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story.

Unrequited Love (Magic and Heartache Series) by E.L. Roux – Review by Kerry Carr

Unrequited Love (Magic and Heartache, #1)Unrequited Love by E.L. Roux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Magic and Heartache series. This is a short story at only 96 pages long but it was action packed and i loved every part of it.
This is a paranormal romance with a mixture of magical beings and a coffee shop with an added touch of something special in each drink.
One of the owners is Jordan. She loves her coffee shop and how it brings everybody together but there’s one thing she doesn’t like and that’s her ex and his new lover showing up at her work everyday.
As much as she hates to see them she can’t tell them to never return.
There is one person that brightens her day and that is Cane.
When Cane approaches her to help him with a spell to see the future for her ex and his new partner at first Jordan doesn’t want to help. However the more she learns of the ritual, and the opportunity to see more of Cane proves to be the thing that seals the deal.

What happens when they get a more intimate knowledge of each other? Will the spark between them explode into a fire or will it sizzle out? And is Jordan even ready to move on? Will she lose her chance at love again by still being hung up on her ex?

For a short story this packs so much into it and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Summer of MudSummer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting story. I liked the suspense and drama that follow these two along. This pulls on the ol’heart strings for a couple reasons. None that I will mention because of spoilers but believe me they are there. I really kept tuned into these two main character’s, which are kids. I felt sorry for them and was very suspicious of RC more than once. This is told from Scoob’s point of view and while she is a twelve year old she seems much older at times. In the end it shows the strength, endurance and love can help some prosper. I loved all the Dad sayings and thoughts that ran through Scoob’s head on repeat.

Overall this is a wonderful story that kept me turning pages so I could figure RC out. The ending is good and had me feeling complete with a little wonder. Thanks for letting me come along on your trip.

One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper – Review by Jennifer Crain

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

I just devoured “One Quarter Villain” by Cori Cooper, and I’m still reeling from the delightful surprise that awaited me within its pages (early on the book, the. quote “Every good fairy tale needs a villain” hooked me).
Who says a villain can’t have a happy ending? Not Cori Cooper, that’s for sure! In this charming and lighthearted tale, Cooper challenges the traditional notion of villainy by crafting a relatable and lovable protagonist who just happens to be one-quarter villain.

Cooper’s writing is engaging and effortless, making it easy to become invested in Maddy’s journey. The author’s humor and wit are on full display, particularly in the character of Maddy’s best friend, Leo Romano, who is the perfect foil to Maddy’s straight-laced personality. Their banter and friendship are a highlight of the book.

One of the most impressive aspects of “One Quarter Villain” is its thoughtful exploration of identity and morality. Cooper asks important questions about what makes us good or evil, and whether our choices are shaped by our DNA or our environment. The book’s themes are timely and relevant, making it a great read for anyone looking for a story that will linger long after the final page is turned.

Make Me Want To Love You: Love in Emerald CreekMake Me Want To Love You: Love in Emerald Creek by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shayna is just trying to live her life after divorce. With two kids that depend on her, she does not have time for romance or even the time to entertain the possibility. Burke shares a best friend with Shayna and cannot help but be intrigued by her. Having just been burned by an ex-fiancée, he is not sure he wants to dip his toes into the dating pool again. However, he sees what others gloss over when he looks at Shayna. Can they find their way to each other? Or will past baggage get in the way of their possible happily-ever-after?!

This was a fun book to read. I feel like the author did a wonderful job capturing single mom life, and dysfunctional family issues. I could not help but be drawn to Shayna and Burke’s story. While I cannot identify with all the aspects of this book, the human emotion captivated me. I did not pick up book one in this series and only realized about part way through that I must have missed it. It would have been nice to read the first one, but I do not feel like it was necessary as there was enough background information given throughout. If you are looking for a quick, fun, summer read, I would pick this up!

Fire Meets Fire: Wretched Soulz MCFire Meets Fire: Wretched Soulz MC by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another gripping MC romance by an author who I love and who never disappoints! I was excited to be back in the ‘Wretched Soulz MC’s’ world once again and this time the storyline focuses on the Clubs Prez Chaz. As the Prez he is responsible for keeping money in the Clubs coffers, keeping his brothers out of jail and his enemies at bay. The MC have a reputation and so can’t show any weakness by ensuring men who cross them don’t live long. So Chaz is surprised to learn that someone is stealing from them, and even more shocked to discover the thief is a woman. Chaz is then torn about how to treat Helo, if she had been a man then he would have killed her for this crime but should he treat her like a man or not. To complicate things further Chaz is attracted to Helo and is actually impressed by how she stands up to him, challenges him and beats him fighting hand to hand. He soon learns that she’s not invincible and that she has her own demons, but with so many of his own battles Chaz doesn’t know if he wants to take on hers as well. As usual the characters and setting are brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative making me feel fully immersed in the world of the ‘Wretched Soulz MC’. The chemistry between Chaz and Helo sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. The storyline is full of excitement, drama, suspense and of course romance which made this a real page turner. I will now wait impatiently for the next book in the series!

Greetings from Asbury Park by Luigina Vecchione is a heart capturing story about war, the strength of family and still having the room to love deeply after witnessing so much devastation. I was absolutely captivated by this story from beginning to end! I loved Mariella, her family, Jack. The author put a lot of heart into telling this story and it shines through radiantly. Splendid writing and detail. The characters were all very realistic with personalities and interactions to match the setting.

Highly recommend to any lovers of historical fiction who enjoy a story that is so perfectly descriptive that you are experiencing and feeling everything with the characters- from their fears to sharing their beautiful heartfelt moments. Very well done! I’m very excited to start the next book.

Italian American: Jack & Mariella’s journey continues…Italian American: Jack & Mariella’s journey continues… by Luigina Vecchione
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Italian American by Luigina Vecchione is a beautifully written sequel to Greetings from Asbury Park, where here the reader can experience Jack and Mariella settling into their new lives together in America. There is a lot of turmoil for Mariella leaving behind the life and everyone she knew to travel to an unfamiliar land where acceptance of immigrants is not so easily found. As things start to seemingly begin to calm, terrible news brings Mariella back to Rome and she wonders if she can really bring herself to leave again.

I really felt like this was a strong sequel to the first story. Sometimes with sequels, the storytelling is more rushed and loses its luster. However, the author really kept the momentum of this story rolling throughout. You could perhaps read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading both stories. This story was raw, emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one book, and I loved feeling everything along with the characters. I was not disappointed at all. I look forward to more stories by this author in the future!

    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you’re a Christie fan you’re either going live this or hate this …. I LOVED it ! I’m a die hard Christie fan so I was a little nervous at first but despite not always liking Lexie I like the “tribute “ to her characters , if you read the book you’ll understand what I’m saying 😉

Chapter one already had me because I could just see the scene unfolding in my minds eye I could even hear Gerda’s German accent !

The Golden Age of Mystery Book as started up and Lexie was asked to lead it and it started with a little drama between the girls but all calms down and bookclub starts ❣️📚

Sylvia takes ill and everyone is worried but she reassures everyone she’s ok unti she’s not Lowell storms into the library , panicked and Sylvia is declared dead 🙈but she wasn’t the first to die and nor would she be the last ….

I must admit I loved the backround we get some of the details regarding Christie and others of that writing era I knew and some of it was new so that was a big tick for me ❣️📚
I loved the interaction between the characters and their quirky natures , an enjoyable easy , fun read ❣️📚

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Ghost Talker, I could not wait to read Delicious Death. Byrd Nash did not disappoint with book 2. Delicious Death had all of the mystery and angst from book one, and even more romantic tension. Once again, we get to see Madame Chalamet help the Duke solve a mystery, while also helping spirits move to the other side. In this book, Chalamet must help the Duke solve the attempted murder of the king through poisoning. The characters are well developed, the story is fast paced and easy to read, and Madame Chalamet and the Duke work so well together. Once again, I am super excited to begin reading book 3, Spirit Guide, and I cannot wait to see where Chalamet and the Duke’s relationship goes.

Michaela Manning is a survivor of terrible tragedies from such a young age, at three years old she witnessed a terrible assassination of her grandfather the state senator and was shot in the process. She’s lived her life in hiding under a different name until her secret identity is leaked. She’s not safe but can Maxwell keep her protected this time? I don’t want to give away anything else. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

The Book of Fears: A Collection of Short Stories by K. S. Gantt – Review by Angela Hayes

The Book of Fears: A Collection of Short StoriesThe Book of Fears: A Collection of Short Stories by K.S. Gantt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Book of Fears by K.S. Gantt is a collection of 8 short and disturbing stories that highlight some intriguing phobias. This is a creepy horror-esque fest full of tension, dramatic developments, twisty turns, and suspense. There are trigger warnings of violence, abuse, and more- so if you have any triggers, you will want to check out the TW’s before diving in.
This also appears to be Ms. Gantt’s debut novel, as when I had finished this I went looking for more of her work, but this is the only one that showed up…. So I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future.
The stories in the collection are:
-Let’s Go Home Wolfie (Autophobia)
-Not In My House (Katsaridaphobia)
-I’ll Float Away (Lepidopterophobia)
-Friday the 13th (Paraskevidekatriaphobia)
-Deep Thoughts (Taphephobia)
-It’s All Fun and Games (Thanatophobia)
-Happy Anniversary (Ophidiophobia)
-Have You Seen My Wallet (Trypanophobia)

I loved that this collection was so different from what I have been reading of late, and reminded me that I haven’t had enough of this genre in my reading ‘diet’ of late…
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Gantt produces next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, K.S. Gantt!

Moonlight Drive: A Novel

I wanted to love everything about this book. The characters in the timeliness while a little older than me I could relate with the time, the home issues and the amazing music we had in the 80’s and thought for sure it would make my Gen X heart happy.

While parts did do that there were other parts that would frustrate me to no end. Nick and Dani as kids are sweet and innocent to a point. Her home life isn’t great and his isn’t any better. But they find comfort and peace with one another.

Flash forward 6 years, Nick is now Nicki and in a famous band. The description of Nicki was quite easy to picture in my mind and totally got a Motley Crue/Nikki Sixx vibe which evidently what she wanted us to picture.

I did not like the 1986 forward version of Nick until the very end. There was too much push and pull for my liking but the very end of the book saved it for me.

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an overall engaging and easy read. Even with reading the synopsis and reviews, I wasn’t quite expecting what I got with this story. The writing style was surprisingly simple, making the story flow and easy to turn the pages. It was fast paced and unique. The setting was intriguing to me and helped setup the story. We find Ned, Rod, and Sally —our main three characters—in an east coast town during a time where people mostly think only of themselves and where food supply, especially fish, is depleted. In a town where fishing is a primary occupation, many are struggling due to the scarcity of resources. Then Rod and Ned make a discovery that will change their lives—little did they know just how it will change their lives as well as the world around them, placing them in the middle of a nightmare.

While the story was engaging and unique, I personally felt the overall story and characters were lacking some depth. Aside from that, the uniqueness really drew me in and I found the main characters to be likable. Ultimately, this was a fast read that I’d recommend!

From the beginning , this is the perfect easygoing book for laying out by the water & soaking up sunshine . Such a gentle, sweet love story is as refreshing as cold lemonade along with all that sunshine . So many difficult things were handled beautifully & gracefully . There were a few things I didn’t love , like how Hailey 1st spoke about Makayla , but there was redemption for it . The healing & happiness flowing from the pages had me smiling to myself so many times lol there was a lot of foreshadowing & hinting at what the bad thing was going to be , which is very much appreciated … This was a lovely , soothing story to read , & I’m so happy to have enjoyed it !

Loch comes in with a force that Hailey was not ready for….but as she gets to know Loch, her walls around her heart start to waiver. What Loch and Hailey did not realize is each of their loss of a love one can break your heart….but will they learn and find their way to healing and also love that they both deserve.

I highly recommend this story…wow….this story will stay with me for a long time.
