My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Sun At Twilight by N.L. Holmes is the fourth book in the Empire at Twilight series. This is another well written and detailed story by an author who really knows how to create a vivid story. I was pulled right into this story simply from the way the author created it. It felt like it was right there with Tudhaliya and could feel his anguish and conflict. I was interested the whole way through as to what he would do. This book is really all about the characters. They are at the absolute heart of it all and really make this book what it is. I would definitely say, even if this is something you wouldn’t normally read, this series is definitely worth it.

8 Second Ride by Shannon Nemechek

I seem to be on a cowboy kick right now, this is one of the few I have read or listened to over the last few weeks.  This book was a very quick read and I was surprised when I hit the end.  It flew by as I got lost in the story.

Tuck had the patience of a Saint while dealing with Jessie and her antics, though he had no idea what he was really getting while dealing with her.

Jessie was a brat, but the reason almost makes sense to me. I guess the old lady in me sees things differently now than I did at that age.

I wish this had been a bit longer,  but that’s mostly because I’m nosey and want to know what happens next.

If you have an hour or so to yourself,  give this book a try.

Kissing the Kavalier is a wonderfully written Historical Romance that I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t stop reading till the end.

Countess Zdenka doesn’t expect to be falling in love that is until she dresses up as a man and then she meets Kavalier. Has she put everything at risk of being lost?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so completely invested in this series! It just keeps getting better and better. Witness is the ninth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This story has Detective Edward Petrosky scratching his head. With a typical burglary that turned into a giant mystery when he shows up to the crime scene and finds way too much blood for his liking. There is also questionability about the woman that fled the scene. She was supposedly killed 10 years prior in a fire. He also discovers that his surrogate daughter is at the center of all of this. Once again I am completely enraptured by this novel. I absolutely love Detective Petrosky and this series. There are always so many twists and turns that I have no idea what is going to come up next. This book will have you at the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going to come next. You can’t and will not put this book down! As I always say with series, start from book one. However, you can read this without doing that. I can’t wait to see what Ms. O’Flynn has in store for the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Professor Valentine by Diana Vale was a really good read! It was very easy to read, and went very quickly, especially since it was a short page novella. While this book was really good, it was also predicable to me. I saw where it was going almost immediately, and so it felt a little boring. I enjoyed the writing style and easily became enraptured, I just wish the story itself had a little more in it, especially with how the book started out. I thought the beginning was hilarious! Overall though I really did enjoy this book and would definitely read more from this author in the future.

The Tears of Boabdil by Neil McDonald
Four Stars

The Tears of Boabdil is a psychological crime book by Neil McDonald. This is the first book I have read by this author. This book had me enthralled from the beginning. This book is complex, but you know that from the beginning when the MC, Vince lets you know that truth is how believable you make the lies. This is an undercover agent infiltrating a Jihadi Group, so his life depends on the story he weaves. This book is full of action, drama, intrigue with romance added in. A good vs. evil line with deep thought inducing content. This is not my normal genre, but I alway like to expand my reading choices. I would recommend this book especially if you like intriguing undercover/spy novels.

This novella did not disappoint! It may have been a quick read but I am impressed with how much Sonya Jesus and Cam Johns fit in this story. The blurb had me intrigued. Attorney involved in a murder? Attorney in love with someone in the Mafia? I started reading and between the steamy romance between Seth and Braelynn and the Mafia action I didn’t stop until The End.

I give Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9) by Meghan O’Flynn, 5 stars.

I have been following this series, but I somehow forget just how good it is until I pick up the next book. This one is no exception. The story pulled me in right away. There is so much going on, and you never know which turn in this thrilling ride you will take next. It is full of action, suspense, some gripping terror, and lots of what will happen next. I kept trying to figure it out, to know avail. But that’s a good thing, I don’t like my suspense to be predictable.

As I have said, I have read other books in this series and I love how the characters are constantly evolving and growing. It’s not always in a good way, but it’s the only way they know how. They are trying their hardest though to do the right thing. These characters are what really make this book and series what it is.

If you are a fan of gripping suspense, this book and series are for you.

I want all the strings attached. I want the mess and the neat. Give me all the promises to keep. I really liked this story. You have a young man with a lot of difficult choices to make. To finish school, sign his band to a record deal, his family commitment and the love of his life. This is where that saying “have your cake and eat it too” comes into play. He can’t please everyone. I loved how their relationship made no sense but was perfect. The author did an amazing job. It was well thought out and intense. Calla wasn’t what I expect but I wasn’t disappointed. Very strong lead characters. Definitely give this story a go. I will be browsing the authors page for more.

This is a wonderful young adult book. As a mother of a couple preteens I appreciate that the main character is a boy. It’s a refreshing change and I know my son would enjoy reading this book some day. It is exciting to see a more in-depth story about the magic of Jinns, aka genies.
Liam, the sixteen year old main character sees colors around people whenever they are about to do something bad. He learned early on that this wasn’t normal. So he tries his best to stay away from these colorful smoke or mists around his classmates. But Liam seems to attract trouble pretty much anywhere. When he gets hurt on a school field trip, things start to really get dangerous. What will Liam learn through this experience? I’ll let you find out.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Reading this book pulled at your heartstrings for the characters. The author helped you see both sides of the characters’ stories and really made you feel for them. I was drawn in to the drama and just wanted to know how it all worked out in the end.

I especially enjoyed the snarky wit of Andrea. She is a real, take no crap kind of girl! Everyone needs to have a friend that knows them inside and out and that is there for them no matter what.

Witness by Meghan O’Flynn is the ninth book in the Ash Park Novel series. This is rare to say but this series only becomes more intriguing and interesting the deeper it goes. Detective Edward Petrosky is back and has gotten what looks like a simple case. Of course, nothing is as simple as it seems. This case links back to a previous case and leaves many questions for Petrosky to figure out. I will not write about the plot more because I do not want to give any of this thrilling book away. This is filled with mystery, crime, thrills, and intrigue. I really look forward to reading more from this author and this series in the future.

This is my first book by this author and the story was amazing. A kids’ adventure mystery, the story focuses on the main character (Annie Tillery) and her late great-grandmother.

Charlotte Wheeler was a WWII WASP, women assigned to build and pilot planes to naval bases. A love letter written by Charlotte to a naval pilot was found in the recently discovered wreckage of an Avenger, a plane that had crashed in 1943. The NCIS tracks down Charlotte’s granddaughter and great-granddaughter. A trip to the family home leads to an even bigger mystery; just who was Charlotte, why was a note written by her, in the plane that had gone down, and who was trying to kill her? A fun story full of mystery and ghosts, I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first spy thriller, and not my usual type of book. The narration was difficult to follow at first, jumping from reality to story-telling, and back to reality. Once I sorted that out, I couldn’t stop reading it.

Vince is the spy sent undercover to infiltrate an Islamic group. As Zami, a new convert to Islam, he falls in love with the target’s sister, Ayesha. He tells stories to Ayesha about the character, Don Vincent and his love affair with the beautiful Ayesha. Vince/Zami begins to lose his grip on what is real and what is the story he tells. He must soon make a decision between being loyal to his country or to Ayesha. I am still undecided on this genre, however “The Tears of Boabdil” was an interesting story.

The characters are relatable and made me laugh a few times. They brought the story to life. They made it fun and easy to read. Marlowe wants nothing more than to live in her sweats, write her books and spend time with her pets. Heath is ready to give his glamorous life on the road to run the family business. He is also ready to Marlowe his. The only problem is that she feels unlovable and really needs to take control of her life. They made such great characters that I really enjoyed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this lighthearted fun romantic comedy novel by a new author to me A.D. Brazeau. I found this to be an entertaining and engaging read which had me laughing out loud in places. I was hooked from page one and could not put this book down, ‘Love Between the Lines’ is a contemporary romance and the first novel in the ‘Page Turners’ series. The very likeable and relatable heroine of the story is Marlowe Bennet, she lives in sweats, writes romance books and loves her cats whilst hates ‘real life’ men. Marlowe suffers from anxiety and believes she is unlovable but book cover model Heath Rochester does not agree and following a drunken kiss has not been able to stop thinking about Marlowe. Heath is ready to stop modelling and settle down to run his family’s bookstore, hopefully with Marlowe by his side. Marlowe’s best friend Iris and sister Lucy are also wonderful characters who all bring something different to the storyline and I look forward to reading their own stories. This book is full of love and laughter and is a sweet and heartwarming novel. I fell in love with the characters who are bought to life by the authors descriptive narrative, which made me feel immersed in their story. I liked how honestly and sympathetically Marlowe’s anxiety was discussed throughout the book and how supportive her family and friends were. The chemistry between Marlowe and Heath came across in the story and I liked how their relationship developed as the story went on. This was a great read and I am pleased to have discovered a new favourite author in A.D. Brazeau.

I was expecting the typical Romance, but this book was so much more than that.  The depth of all the characters not just the main ones was great.  I know each one of the boys has their own story and I can’t wait to read them.

I don’t know if there was one part that was my favorite, but I loved their stolen moments at the pier.  I think those moments helped build the relationship to what it was.

Now I have to sit and wait.

This book is all about second chances with a first love. The story between Erick and Dre is like a roller coaster ride with all the ups and downs. This story was well written, heart wrenching and at times a true punch in the gut. Dre’s character is so head strong and Erick is looking for a second chance with Dre due to his decision that he made years past. I really enjoyed the story of love, life and the ups and downs on forgiveness and moving on.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie is the first book in the Keller Family series. This is a sweet book with relatable characters in it. I think there were certain parts to the book where the story could have used a little more detail – the idea was there but the execution was a little off. However, as the book went on the author clearly found her stride and it felt more cohesive and became much more enjoyable.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and although the story felt a bit predictable I thought the writing was good and well paced. It feels like the story was a great way to set up the start of a new series and introduce characters that we will read about later. This is an overall enjoyable story and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.
