Safe Harbour Audio Book by Valerie Davisson is the fifth book in the Logan McKenna series. As a book I had already read I was looking forward to listening to the audio version and I can definitely say I enjoyed it. I did notice a little more with the audio book that, without having read or listened to the previous books in the series, you could miss a few details. It can be a stand-alone but I would highly recommend starting at the beginning to really get all the extra details.
I still love the book – the intricate story and the brilliant characters. I don’t think for me that the story hit home quite as well with it being narrated, it felt like some of the intensity and mystery was lost. However it was easy to picture the events taking place and feel like I engaged with them. This is such a brilliant series and this won’t be the last audio version that I listen to!

Ready For Flynn Audio Book by K.L. Shandwick is Part 1 in the Ready For Flynn series. This book was such a surprise for me and how emotional I found it. I pretty much went into this book blind and I found myself completely swept up in the story and the journey of Valerie. I completely didn’t expect just how emotional I would find this book. Even as I was listening I knew what was about to happen and yet it still caught me completely off guard.
I thought the book itself was well written and paced perfectly and it was also narrated just right. I could easily picture everything that the author had written and I found myself getting lost in the voice. This is a brilliant book and a great audio book. I would highly recommend it!

SHANDWICK – Review by Kerry Baker
Murder at Honeybee Lake is an enticing crime novel with paranormal elements. It’s the second in Jessica Aiken-Hall’s Shadow of a Doubt series and can be read as a standalone or enjoyed alongside the first book. Randy and Ben’s world is turned upside down when they find a body underneath the dock at their lakeside property. At first it seems like homophobic cops are their biggest problem, until the evidence starts pointing to Randy as the culprit. Their found family is convinced of Randy’s innocence but will have to fight to prove it, and to look after Randy and Ben. This is a real page-turner. I couldn’t put it down until I knew what had really happened, and why. There are plenty of developments along the way that kept me on the edge of my seat. There are some great side characters in this book as well. I particularly liked Dora, the nurse who befriends Randy. She’s such a warm, caring character and was a point of light in an otherwise dark book. I’d recommend this to fans of paranormal mysteries. If you want a story where the ghost gets involved in solving their own murder, this is the book for you! It gets five stars from me.

Our Wicked Lies by Gledé Browne Kabongo 5 of 5 Stars I was gripped by this domestic crime thriller by Gledé Browne Kabongo and could not put this book down. The setting is a beautiful town in one of the country’s wealthiest zip codes full of wealth and privilege, but you soon discover that nothing is as it seems and all the characters are hiding something. The main character is Alicia Gray who is married to Eliot a successful man who takes her on romantic trips away. The couple have two daughters and live in a beautiful house, basically Alicia has an enviable marriage and life. However having witnessed a suspicious moment between her husband and her best friend Kat, Alicia then finds dozens of unsent emails from Eliot to a Faith. The deeper Alicia digs to find out her identity the more lies and secret she uncovers and then a shocking death which could have been either a tragic accident or cold blooded murder complicates things further for Alicia. The storyline flows well and the descriptive narrative brings both the setting and the characters to life which made me feel immersed in the story. The characters were all very realistic and Alicia was a very likeable main character who I felt engaged with. The dramatic plot twists kept me hooked and guessing until the very shocking ending, which left me thinking about this book long after I had finished reading it.

I love Regency London books!! This book did not disappoint! I just found this series and will be looking for more! You could read this as a standalone book, but if you are like me, you will probably want to find the other books, too! The author writes witty dialogue and intriguing word play between the characters. I couldn’t help but read this in one sitting!

Who doesn’t love a good historical/Regency England love story?! Jane is a character that you couldn’t help but love and feel sorry for, too. She knows she is not the prettiest girl in the room but her character more than makes up for it. When she meets the Earl… you can’t help but root for them to end up together! Their banter is wonderfully written!
This was a fun, witty and definitely an adult book.

Betrayal at the Beach (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery
5 +++++ Stars
The Cozy Mystery genre has quickly become one of my favorites recently and when I saw that one of my favorite authors ever had one coming out I absolutely had to have it. Then I realize it’s going to be a series!! Win, Win!!
I had really high hopes for this book and in Classic KL Montgomery fashion those were met and included more. I loved this book…I felt like Sunshine’s right hand man on this one, I suspected everyone and couldn’t put the story down until I knew how it ended. Then I was left with yet another mystery I see coming in the future. I loved Mom and Dad, they made me smile, and I’m left with a lot of curiosity about Chief James. I can not wait for the next book to be available, and I love the covers on these books, they seem so inviting, and they will look so nice on my bookshelf!
I will absolutely read anything this author comes out with, she has written 2 of my favorites of all time and I can’t recommend her and her books enough.

Wilde does a fantastic job with this book. As a fan of historic/regency romance, I loved the setting immediately. It was a quick and enjoyable read for me and one that I can absolutely see myself reading again soon. Great characters and easy plot pacing. Just a truly enjoyable read.

If you are a fan at all of romantic suspense, Mari is a one click every time. This latest in the Billionaire Bodyguards series continues to hold the expectations high with another book filled with heart stopping moments, and scenes that will make you breathless.

I read Dragon’s Heart by Carrie Austin-Malone, featured in Myths and Legends: An Indie Love Anthology. This is the first work I’ve read by this author, and my interest has been piqued. Dragon’s Heart is a fast read, but it contains a lot of details that are both steamy and witty. Main character Mary’s dreams are vivid and intense which makes the imagery in this story really pop off the page, and definitely stimulates the senses. I really appreciated the author’s use of color in her description of the dragons. There is a LOT packed into this shorter story, and I feel like making it longer would do it more justice. All in all, I feel this is a great read when you need an escape, and will be looking into more by this author! 4 out of 5 stars.

I loved this book first of all! I really loved the main female character Hannah, she had a rough time with love and with the time frame of the book being valentines day it really added to it,
Feeling down and that love isnt on your side is no fun for sure…but throw in a bachelor named Kyle who is basically everything not expected or even ready for of what Hannah wants
Hannah wanted love and Kyle was so against it! But read on and see how it plays and oh I must say I enjoyed the heart pouding steamy romantic moments and aspects of the book very much,
I really enjpyed this treat. Im a die hard romantic myself and this was like a good box of chocolates..with the chapters you cant just stop at one!
I highly reccommend, you will not be dissapointed 🙂

What happens when you find a body under your property but in the end all the leads come straight back to you for the murder.
Randy is living his dream life with Ben now, but after his horrendous past can he finally put the past behind him and move on to the next step with Ben. It is coming up to the couples first anniversary and Randy is ready to take that commitment but will one night change that forever.
This is the second book in this series and follows the relationship and life of Randy, we get to see a glance into their world in the first book but this book explores more of their relationship and the way the story twists whether Randy can convince people he is not mad and did not do anything. When Randy finds the body to the investigation you feel for him as in the end, he feels no-one believes that he was not involved in anything.
With hints of the paranormal and the secondary characters with the story this makes for a compelling read. The story is well written and draws you further into the story as it goes on, can they discover the reason why this is happening and can their love for each other help them through to uncover the secrets which lie within the story.
This is a great mystery story and I believe you will be just as hooked as I was.

Love by Design (The Meraki Series # 2) by Effie Kammenou
5-stars
This incredible author has completely blown me away once again! I always have high hopes when it comes to this author and Love by Design far exceeded those expectations. It was sweet, romantic, touching, unexpected, heart wrenching and truly captivating. As this is the second book of the series, I would suggest reading book 1 first, this could be read as a standalone but it will be better enjoyed in order.
I read this story in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading, I was so invested in Mia and her story that I didn’t want this book to end. This author amazes me with each new release, experiencing a roller coaster ride of emotions with each new chapter and connecting with the characters on a level I never thought possible. For that reason, I will always recommend this author and all of her work. This is a series you do not want to miss.

This is the fifth book in this series which I enjoyed listening to. This is an easy, engaging story to listen to. The narrator’s voice made the story fun and entertaining. It was easy to listen to and understand. It has twists and turns that keep you wanting to know what will happen next. Logan makes a great character and always finds herself in the middle of something. In this story she finds herself in the middle of two murders. Things turn and safe harbor is needed but will they all find it? Will someone be left out? I really enjoyed listening to this story. I highly recommend this audio.

Bake Believe is a super imaginative and original book. The recipes included after each chapter is a neat feature and had me wanting to try them. The characters are very realistic and detailed. Cat and her family all had different quirks that made them seem real. This book would be enjoyable for both pre-teens and adults. The ending left me wanting more!

I enjoyed this mystery. This is the fourth book in this series by this author which I enjoyed just as much as the previous books. This is a well developed story that brings action and mystery. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life on each page. Their twists and turns left me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. I was pulled into the story by them and they kept the story engaging. PI Red Farlow is back in another mystery. What happens when he goes to a meeting only to find the chairman with a knife in the back? His investigation reveals more murders and a real estate scheme. Will he solve this mystery before it is too late? I enjoy PI Red’s character. He just adds to the enjoyment of the story. He made me feel as if I was right there in the story with him. I highly recommend this book.
I enjoyed this supernatural thriller. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her. This is a well written story that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. The characters are relatable and made the story engaging. I enjoyed being pulled into the story which kept me turning pages to the end. I found this book to be fast paced and entertaining to read. This is a story about Paloma and a seance to contact her dead father but what happens is not what she was expecting. When she holds a second seance she awakens a spirit that wants to keep its secret, just that secret. The twists and turns left me turning pages fast. This was a great morning read and I highly recommend it.
I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are just as good. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up her books. They pull me into the story from the beginning and I have a hard time putting it down. This book is no different. I enjoyed being pulled into a story of shifting and romance. A veterinarian has rescued a wolf only to realize there is more to her than just being beautiful. The problem is, she has a past. This is where the story takes off. Can overcoming a past or has life just dealt her too much to accept? These are great characters that made the story fun and entertaining to read. They brought life to the story and kept it engaging to the end. They really made the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

So, after reading the first book in this series I had to pick up this one to continue. And it didn’t disappoint. I will say I do highly recommend you reading the first one before this if you haven’t. Just as with the first book, the author continued to have me reading as fast as I could to see what happened next. She has a way with words that keeps you enthralled in the story. Not only is this a paranormal mystery, but there is a love story intwined that will keep you on the edge of your seat and tear at your emotional heartstrings. Personally, these characters made the entire story come to life. And as with any good mystery you will find yourself pointing fingers at certain individuals but watch out who you blame because people may be destroyed in the process. Read it to find out if your suspicions are correct.

The Earl and the Peahen is the fifth book in the Scarlet Salon series by Jean Wilde. This book can be read as a standalone, as this is the first book I have read by Jean Wilde. Historical Romance is not one of my go to genres, but I like to change my reading up every once in a while. I made a great choice with this book. The storyline was fun and easy to follow. The characters were relatable and the dialogue was full of funny whit. Jane and Alexander had great chemistry. I have to say, I may go on a Historical binge and read the first four books in this series. I definitely look forward to reading more books by Jean Wilde. Review by @sunbarn

Myths & Legends: An Indie Love Anthology is a collection of seven original stories all based on well-known myths and legends. From Egyptian Gods to Robin Hood, Arthurian Legends, Hades and Persephone, Greek mythology, and more….there is a lot to choose from. The stories range from fantasy to paranormal romance- with F/F romance, forbidden love, second chances, self-discovery, finding love unexpectedly, crime and investigation, covert military units, dragon shifters, magic, and much more. I would like to have read longer versions of these stories, because a few of them felt really rushed and underdeveloped. I love the premise of most of them- but a few were let down by a rushed story and lack of development.
The collection contains:
–Mistress of Sky and Stars (Forgotten Gods: Origins) By: Laura Greenwood This is a forbidden love story based on an Egyptian creation myth.
–Queens of the Underworld By: Arizona Tape This is an original take on Hades and Persephone’s story, but with a twist- it’s a F/F romance.
–Frost and Flame By: R.J Truman This is a paranormal fantasy- with Phoenix’s, magic, fire & Ice, second chances, discovery, drama, and more. While I loved the concept of this story and thought it could have been quite a stellar read if only it had been longer- to allow for more depth and development. It felt really rushed.
–In Search of Ghosts By: Paula Acton This is based on the Arthurian legend of the Lady in the Lake. A fantasy fully of paranormal elements, magic, drama, and fate. Again, this story was fun- but I felt it needed to be a little longer to allow the story to really shine.
–Cursed to Love By: Erin O’Kane This is my favourite of the collection. Based on Greek mythology with Gorgons, curses, betrayal, magic, drama, and more. This was such a great little read- I would love to read a loner version of this story as I wanted to linger longer with the character/s, cos I’m greedy like that lol. The story leaves room for more at the end, so I am hoping to get more in the near future (hint, hint Ms O’Kane 😊)
–I Do It For You By: Louisa Line This is the modern retelling of the classic, “Robin Hood”- and is about finding love unexpectedly, with a little crime and investigation thrown in to keep things interesting.
–Dragon’s Heart By: Carrie Austin Malone Who doesn’t love dragon shifter stories? I know I do. A story full of action, magic, danger, fated mates, romance, covert military units, hunters, hidden agendas, and a secret society….. need I say more 😊

I have been in need of a good Viking tale, and this book exceeded expectations! I wasn’t sure what I was going to encounter when I started the book, but I was surprised throughout the entirety of it. It was a bit of a slow burn at first, but I was excited to find that it picked up speed pretty quickly. I can’t wait to read the rest of the forerunner series!

First I want to applaud the narrator, Rooke did a superb job with the narration of this book. The switch between characters and accents is some of the best I’ve heard. Excellent work.
Now time to give praise to T.L Wainwright for this amazing story. I would never have imagined that such a sweet and sexy story could take part during World War two. Love is the last thing you associate with World War two. Wainwright’s characters come to life and I found that while listening to the book the scenes played out in my imagination like a film. Especially Jenny, her innocence comes across strong in the beginning of the book and she definitely grew into a perfect MC.

Our Wicked Lies by Gledè Browne Kabongoa suspenseful story that had me flipping the pages to discover how it all played out. I would class it as a bit of a psychological thriller- there’s also plenty of emotion, secrets, mystery, deception, intrigue, lies, betrayal, discovery, and tension. Although the story was a little slow in the beginning, it didn’t take too long before it had me devouring the pages and following along intently as everything unfolded.
My Lips Are Sealed is the first book in the Sealed With A Kiss series by Carmen Richter. This is my first read by Ms. Richter, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but as it was recommended to me I took a chance and snapped up a copy to read. I’m going to be honest here- I struggled with this story, I really did. I think I had a preconceived idea of what I was getting into and may have had my expectations set too high. That’s not to say that the story was bad, it was ok- but I really struggled with the ages of the characters. I think I would have enjoyed this more, and related more to the character/s, if Zoe had been of college age, say 18/19/20- instead of her 16 years. But, that’s just me- there are probably heaps of people that wouldn’t be bothered by her age, but I was for some reason. Zoe has endured so much heartbreak for someone so young, she has struggled to find her way back from her grief. Pouring her heart out into her music, she decides to perform at an open mic night and sing about her loss. It’s there she meets Elijah, who sparks something in her for the first time since her loss. She feels a small spark of her former life start to kindle within her, and for the first time in months she feels a little hope. Something promising blossoms between them- so imagine her surprise at school the next day when Elijah turns out to be her new drama teacher. They should just walk away- but instead decide to keep what they have a secret. What happens when secrets are revealed? Will this only lead to more heartbreak for Zoe? Well, you will just have to read the story for yourself to discover how everything unfolds. The story is full of teen angst, friendship, love, loss, heartache, chemistry, secrets, and more.
