All I Want For Christmas: Military Romance Short Story by Vivian Fiano is a great contemporary military romance. The story is quite a short, quick and easy read- but even though it is quite short, it isn’t lacking in any way- it’s well written with depth and interesting characters who are really well crafted and likeable. I thought the story was very enjoyable. The characters really make this story, and it definitely wouldn’t have been the same without them. Kinsley and Brysen were great- I found myself rooting for them the whole way through the story- and even though there were a few angsty moments with a little drama and emotion- the story ended leaving me feeling good about the outcome. If you love contemporary military romance- and love a quick and easy read- then this is definitely the book for you.

Santa Got Run Over By a Vampireis Book #3.5 in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. As with the other books in the series, it is a superb and highly original Paranormal Romantic Comedy. It’s a such a fun addition to the series. I have read all Ms. Pulkinen’s books now and have loved them all. The series, and this book are a little less spicy and intense than some of her other work/s- having a definitely cuter, sweeter, fun, and more humorous perspective of the New Orleans paranormal world. As I said, this is a paranormal romantic comedy- with vampires, Santa, reindeer, Mrs. Claus, magic, politics, supernatural elements, and drama- with an enchanting and humorous storyline and all set in mystical and magical New Orleans. We met Jane back in Book #1 when she was involved in a daring selfie moment that went wrong- that then resulted in her being ‘turned’ by Ethan (her now husband) to save her ‘life’. Ten months have passed since then and Jane is thriving in her undead life. Finding love and getting married, and taking on a job she loves running the hottest Vampire club in New Orleans. So, things look pretty bright. But then her father announces he will be arriving for Christmas- and he has no idea that she’s married, let alone a Vampire. Fate intervenes and her perfect life becomes even more complicated when Jane accidently runs Santa over- and the only way to save him, and Christmas, is to make him a vampire. But things won’t be quite that simple- with only three days to ‘train’ Santa on vampire life and laws brings a few hiccups’ with it that threaten her immortality- a bit of chaos ensues with funny banter, antics, and quips- making for some hilarious moments that made me laugh out loud. Can’t wait to see what Ms. Pulkinen has in store for us next!

I found Liliana Hart by accident about 8 or 9 years ago when I saw the cover to her first JJ Graves book and that book blew me away. I’m a bit behind on the series, but every book I have read has been loved. So, when I was looking for a quick cozy mystery book I came across this one and let me tell thank goodness i did! The setting is perfect, I love that it’s light but has mystery and I love the connection between Agatha and Hank. I would have liked to see a little more build up and suspense in the book like she writes in the JJ Graves series, but I’m hoping that will happy as the series progresses. If you are looking for a light cozy mystery that is a quick read then grab this book!

Love Heels! The TV News Business Can Be Murder (PJ Santini Series, #3) by Lynne Russell is a romantic crime book that has comedy in almost every part! This author created a fun book that i enjoyed from beginning to end. The banter between the characters is probably my favorite part of this book because it made me like the characters even more. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good laugh. Happy Reading!

I give Sweets and Santa: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery (The Matchmaking Baker Book 2) by Rosie Pease , 5 stars.
What a fun read! This is my first book by this author, so I knew nothing about the characters or world this is set in. While I liked Joanie in this book, I hope she grows more into herself in future books. However, this book seems like it’s leading up to things, which is great for me, you are constantly waiting for the next thing to happen. Trying to solve the puzzle is the best part of a cozy mystery and this book exceeds expectations in that part. I love this inclusion of the gnomes too, what a brilliant, fun, and original idea! The other characters in this world really make this good book exceptional.
If you are a fan of paranormal cozy mysteries, I definitely recommend this book.

This series just keeps getting better and better. The story of Rowena and Vincenzo took a bit of a turn but I really was glad to see them come together again. I found the world created by Alexander Charalambides is vibrant and full of very interesting characters. I look forward to learning more about all of them. There is some mystery involved and it will be exciting to discover the answers to the mystery. Alexander Charalambides is a great author and I highly recommend him if you are looking for something new to read.

I loved that this book had us traveling back and forth in time. From the times of Prohibition to 2020, we’re thrown into a murder mystery that’s unlike any other. I love that the author’s personal settings happen to be thrown into these stories as well. Logan is also balancing a private life with her professional life which we know can be tough for her. This book is multilayered in numerous ways but the author definitely gets the reader to think about a lot while indulging in a murder mystery. These kinds of stories do wonders for my memory and for a new way of thinking.

Love Heels!: The TV news business can be murder is the third book in the PJ Santini series by Lynne Russell. Being a huge fan of Janet Evanovich, this book was right up my alley. I loved the wittiness of PJ Santini. Another great aspect of this book was PJ’s interaction with her family. I wanted to be a part of this family and all of their craziness. The murder mystery kept me on my toes the whole time. This was my first time reading a book in this series or by this author, but I look forward to reading more.

So, I have read the super “popular” vampire series, but haven’t really given more thought to the genre. I loved the cover of this book (which is how I pick all books, no synopsis reading here) and wanted to expand into something other than my usual genre. I was NOT disappointed at all. I enjoyed the interactions between Edith and Darren and I appreciated that this was a story led by actual storytelling and not sex. I found the premise to be one with great promise, I loved that it flowed and was a quick easy read. I would have liked the characters to have a little more depth and backstoroy, but am hopeful it will be in the next book. Overall I felt the authors did a great job, and can I just say this book had some of the best editing I have ever seen! If you enjoy vampires, minimal violence, and more substance than sex this will be a book you will absolutely enjoy!

Yule Lads Legend: Iceland’s Jolasveinar by Heidi Herman is a lovely “untraditional” Christmas story that is really heart warming and unique. This isn’t the usual story that everyone will know and associate with Christmas, instead focusing on an Icelandic tradition. I really enjoyed reading this to my daughter as it gave a little extra something to the build up to Christmas. This book is definitely one that will become a yearly tradition for us. Not only is it fun and entertaining to read but it is a fantastic way to introduce children to the ways in which other cultures celebrate this time of year. My daughter loved the story which alone would have been enough to make me read it again however I also found it appealing and enjoyed every moment. This is a brilliant book and one I would recommend!
Cuckoo Clock – New York by Elisabeth Marrion is the third book in the Unbroken Bonds series. This is a well written and detailed story that once I had started I just couldn’t put down. It was such an interesting novel set in an interesting time in history. The author has created a vivid tale that will have you feeling like you are part of the characters journey. The characters were such strong people to read about and they really added to the overall story. Both of them complimented each other well and it made the story that much stronger. This isn’t an author I am overly familiar with but if this is an example of what all her work is like then I am definitely going to be an avid fan. This book is absolutely worth reading and I would recommend you getting it today!

Love Heels!: The TV news business can be murder by Lynne Russell is the third book in the PJ Santini Series. So glad to get another PJ Santini book. This series is full of laughs, groans, and twists and turns. PJ is a sassy and smart woman with a great cast of supporting characters. This series is always a quick read for me because I am caught up in the story and this was no exception. PJ is one the case again and always gives it her all, but sometimes and often things do not go as planned. I love how she means well and enjoy where her mind wanders as she thinks through everything going on. This is a fun getaway to what has been 2020 and I’m glad this is one of the books I’m finishing the year out with. If you are looking for fun, read with great characters you have to pick up this book and series. I look forward to reading more from Lynne Russell in the future and hopefully reading more PJ Santini books.

I have read a few books from this author and she always exceeds my expectations. This is the second book for the addictive series The Chicago Vigilantes. You can read this story as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on the first page. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.
Sloane Friday is one of the selected few to be part of this vigilante group. She was a cop before this so she knows danger. Sloane is told to go undercover to get a professor’s help. He is the key to stopping this dangerous drug that is killing a lot of people in her city. Sloane was thinking that this professor was going to be old but he is drop dead gorgeous. She can’t get him out of her mind for some reason. When they are joined together sparks start to fly but they have a job to do first. Will Sloane find love that she has been waiting for or will the darkness take that away from her as well?

When you are fighting a invisible force, then you find yourself attracted to someone but has Sloane time to find out if it could be more.
Sloane has put her career behind her and she is now a part of the Guardians Angels as the vigilante, can she carry on and try and stop the evil force which is still in the city.
Luke has had his fair share of violence being within the military but when he sees Sloane and feels the attraction can he be drawn back into the world and still be able to open up to Sloane and with the chemistry sparking can they start a relationship in the middle of chaos.
I love this story, as the second installment it is full of action like the first story and with Sloane’s character it drives through the chapters and has you drawn in from the beginning. As the book goes through you wonder if they can ever be together with Sloane’s secret will she let Luke into her world. The chemistry between the two characters jump off the page and I love the way the story weaves in and out of the city which builds the suspense of the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

This is the story of how thirteen troll brothers find that all the pranks, stealing of items and mischief that they are used to, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
When the first troll arrives and starts getting up to the same old mischief he always does, he is seen by a human and makes the boy a gift to persuade him to keep his secret, but when the boy does keep the troll’s secret and then the next morning finds the gift as well, he is happy.
The troll sees that the boy is happy with his gift and is confused to begin with, but when he feels happy as well and tells his brother troll’s what has happened, a chain reaction begins and a whole new world of happiness and smiles are brought into the troll’s world.
This is a lovely short story which is a modern take on an Icelandic Legend of The Yule Lads, it is a tale which shows that even something that starts off as selfish can be changed into something wonderful when done for the right reasons, it is a quick read and one which children and adults alike will enjoy.
This is a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy novel with an added crime mystery element which had me hooked from start to finish. It is book three in a series and personally I would recommend reading the previous books first, to be introduced to PJ and find out her backstory. I love the main character, private investigator and television news reporter, PJ Santini who the author really makes come alive and who brings the story together. When a divorce case turns into a homicide investigation it puts PJ at risk but it doesn’t stop her from investigating. Louboutin wearing PJ is a brilliant lead character as she is independent, feisty, sassy and not afraid to speak her mind and I fell in love with her whilst reading this novel. PJ’s crazy family all bring a different element to the story and the witty banter between the family members had me laughing out loud at times. The crime mystery element had me gripped and kept me guessing. The narrative flows well making this an easy read and the plot is action packed and kept me happily turning the pages. I found ‘Love Heels’ to be an engaging and enjoyable read and you can tell that the author really knows about the world in which she writes about as the, “first woman to anchor a regular network nightly newscast”. I look forward to reading future books in this series.

Urban Justice is the fantastic 2nd book in the Chicago Vigilantes series by India Kells. I have been a fan of India Kells writing for a couple of years now and was looking forward to the 2nd instalment in this series as I had thoroughly enjoyed the first book. It was no surprise that I adored this book too as I’ve never read anything by India Kells that I did not absolutely love. India Kells has an amazing knack for writing characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. This was also the case for Sloane and Luke. Sloane is a totally badass ex cop, now vigilante and Luke is the ex marine, professor who just exudes sex appeal. A match made in heaven or hell? Let’s just say that their road to romance is far from a straight, smooth path. As with other India Kells’ books this had a storyline that grabbed me immediately and had me hooked throughout. It was full of emotion, danger, violence and suspense. I love India Kells’ style of writing and the way that the stories flow so well, taking you on an amazing journey, that as much as you want to know what happens, you just don’t want to get off and Urban Justice is a prime example of that. It really is a great story with amazing characters and I can’t wait to read more of this series to see which vigilante we get to learn more about next.

This is a great enemy to lovers romance. The characters were really well written that you can’t help but love them.

Can Gianluca realise and see the woman in front of him or will he always see her as an incompetent intern? Can the spark between them ignite a powerful successful relationship or will it burn down both of their dreams.

Cuckoo Clock – New York (Unbroken Bonds Book 3) by Elisabeth Marrion is a historical family read. It is set in WWII and is the story of a woman who is escaping Germany and is hoping to make a better life in America. We follow her through different countries with bravery and fear and the people around her going through the same thing. It is a very emotive storyline as we see the horrors of what people had to go through. This fascinating story is intriguing and engrossing and moves quite quickly.

Secure Boxed Set (Chase Security #1-3) by R.L. Dunn was a great 5 star read.
Secure Desire – Book 1 All I can say is wow, I was pulled in right from the beginning.

You won’t like me once you know what I am – Cassie
There is a huge twist at a charity event that had my emotions all over the place. I will warn it does get graphic and had me cringing at times. My heart went out to Cassie and everything that she went through. I was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time waiting to see what was coming next. Can Ian and his team keep Cassie safe? Will Cassie finally let Ian into her heart?
There is so much more to this read. I loved all of the characters, they all added great elements to the story. Some I didn’t care for, some I loved. I can’t wait to see more from several of them.
Secure Again: Book 2 Once I started I couldn’t put it down. There is so much going on with all the characters. Elizabeth is a surgeon and Martin is the CEO of Chase Security.
Elizabeth is a very caring person and becomes concerned when she starts seeing patients from the local jail coming in with injuries. When Martin gets called home after his brother has been shot, he finds out that Elizabeth is the one keeping his brother alive. These two have a history that didn’t end well for them.

Such a cute story. I am planning to read it to my children and also ask the kiddos in my book club to read it. It is a folklore based out of Iceland where 13 Yule lad kids always go to a village to kidnap naughty children. They take back the children to their mother who is a troll to make a stew. This year, they decide to leave little gifts and presents to children instead of capturing the children. They understand the joy of giving and realize the euphoria when you see someone happy with your actions. A fun and enjoyable read, I don’t mind giving it to my boys!!!
Fake Fiancé by Amy McKinleys is my first book by this author and if her other books are anything like this one, I need to read more. This short office romance novella read like a full novel. I couldn’t believe that Amy gives you everything in such a small amount of pages. Adeline and Stone were great characters that I want more from them. Their chemistry was there from the beginning and I was intrigued to see that it took them that long to come together.

Gianluca is enjoying his successful career in the fashion industry. When his new intern is an American, there is an instant hate relationship that is born. However, the chemistry between Callie and Gianluca quickly turns their relationship into a love/hate one. The back and forth between these characters kept me turning the pages long after I should have been in bed. Like any good romance, things are not easy for the two and when Callie flees back to the United States, will Gianluca fight for her or is the American more trouble than she is worth? (You will have to read to find out)
I have read books from this author in the past, and this new series is definitely one I will be keeping up with. I really liked the relationship between Callie and Gianluca…and some of the characters in the book were great, too. A good enemies-to-lovers book that I would recommend to other readers.

CLAIM ME NOW (Heron Harbor Book 2) By Lea Nolan 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book CLAIM ME NOW (Heron Harbor Book 2) by Lea Nolan. It is a wonderful romance story that pulled me in from the very beginning and I was hooked. I loved the characters of Raven Donovan and Jack Baines. Raven is a woman who is looking to forget her sorrows at the home that belongs to her and her sisters. She is not looking for a relationship. Then she meets Jack. Jack is a man who doesn’t want a new relationship. He has rented the house where Raven has taken refuge. What does the future hold for Raven and Jack? Read this book to find out. This story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. It is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. I grew to care about what happens to Jack and Raven with each chapter that I read. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced in the book. That author does an amazing job in making the storyline and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on an entertaining and romantic story. I highly recommend reading it.

What would happen if you killed santa. Wait what happens if you have to turn him. This is Jane problem how could she not know this miracle man was real. Carrie has a way of making this comedy magical and you are laughing out loud as you read through. Wanting a feel good book for this season with a laughable element this is what you want to read.

I lost sleep reading The Sound of Silence. It is an absolute home run of a novel. I deeply respect Dakota Willink’s respectful dedication to revealing the realities of domestic abuse and allowing the countless victimized women to speak their truth through her story. Willink doesn’t use abuse as a literary gimmick, but has a clear and powerful message; Anyone can become a victim, but there is also a chance for a life of security and happiness past the trauma. This is such a delicate subject, and I feel so much more informed after reading this book. I used to wonder things like, “Why would any woman allow herself to be hurt?” or “Why would a woman stay with an abuser?” There is no clear cut answer for every case, but reading this story impresses the subtleties and complexities of these kinds of relationships.
There is a trigger warning for readers in the beginning, but I want to second that warning with another. Some parts of this novel are incredibly difficult to read. Tread with caution. Also, don’t start the book before going to bed because you won’t be going to bed. The Sound of Silence is a must read for anyone who wants to take a step out of their comfort zone and into the shoes of a woman who’s torn apart by the anguish of trauma and is renewed by self-empowerment and love.
