Under the BandageUnder the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars
Under the Bandage is another unique children story from Lois. The story is told in a rhythmic rhyming way that makes the kids want to join in. Not only is there is the main story, but Lois also includes smaller pictures and information facts pertaining to a certain portion of the story.
Follow along as what started out as a scrape turns into a war. A troop of soldiers ready to defend and repair and stop those that are attacking.
What better and fun way to teach little minds and explain what is going on so they are not so worried about scrapes and injuries. But this is what Lois does, she takes a topic and makes it into a bright, colourful and fun learning experience without them even knowing because to them it is just a story.
I would recommend this book for any 5–8-year-olds. Have fun reading.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
I can’t believe we are at book five in this series already. I have loved this series from the very first book and each book there after only gets better and better. This is my favourite story in the series although I have said that about the others. This is one series that you should get behind because it is great reading.
Each book can be read as a standalone, but I say make sure you start with The Mastermind which stars the first of the WaterFyre men to get his story told.
The Strategist is Arrow’s story and Nadia has woven a complex tale that I could not set aside I had to keep the pages turning because I couldn’t get enough of it and wanted to see how it all went. I love getting the inside thoughts of the characters instead of it being one sided and Nadia does this by writing in dual POV.
Arrow left the life of a Navy SEAL behind but that doesn’t mean he can leave behind painful memories that is until her but when danger comes calling can he help her? Or better yet does she need his help? Will her secrets keep them from what could truly be? Danger and dark secrets that may just destroy it all. What happens next makes for one intriguing and engrossing read.
As always, I look forward to seeing what Nadia gives us next.

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings (Hot Flash Hookups #2)Mood Swings and Hockey Flings by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this book! What more could you ask for? A RomCom full of witty banter and relatable characters.

I was so excited when the book began with a meet-cute! Only for things to take a turn after a single interaction. Ten years pass and the pair is forced into a last resort situation that both Kaitlyn and Ben claim to both hate but neither want to end. The banter between the pair had me laughing out loud.

I love the authenticity of this book. It wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies, but neither is real life. Perceptions of people change and forced proximity forges new relationships.

If you’re looking for a quick read with a show burn and forbidden love, this one is for you.

I can’t wait to read more from these authors!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seeing this I had to give it a try, like who better to write a medical murder mystery than two MDs 😀 you just know the lingo was going to be a plus. This is my first time reading work from these authors and I’m glad I did. Although I have a hard time stopping myself from going to the end to peek at who did ( i may or may not have done it lol) I enjoyed the nail biting ride it was getting there. I will 100 percent be going back to reading the previous book.( even though you don’t have to to understand). The author did a fantastic job at keeping you intrigued while reading. Switching from multiple POVs, which furthers the tangled web of mystery and secrets like i said it will keep you on your toes. I Highly recommend you give this book a try, if you haven’t already.

The Better Man (Silver Buckle Brides, #2)The Better Man by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Better Man is book two in the Silver Buckle Brides Romance series. I was worried about starting in the middle of a series but quickly found that these books can be read as standalone novels. This was a sweet, feel good, squeaky clean romance that very closely resembled real life, and real life struggles, woven through with fun banter, and good humor despite those aforementioned struggles. These characters became friends, and with this authors writing the characters come to life throughout this novel. I loved seeing how much progress the characters made, how the characters grew, and came into their own. Laramee and Jamie definitely ran away with my heart. A wonderful novel about overcoming fears, obstacles, and redemption.

Kris & The Cowboys is the third book in The Adventures of Kris series by Art Blegen. It is a colourful and imaginative chapter book adventure story. It is appropriately aimed at children from six to ten years old.
This delightful children’s story is fun and is vividly rich in its story telling. It brings delight to young minds as their imagination puts them into the story along with Kris. It’s not just a story as there are things to learn along the way.
Follow along as Kris is out in the beautiful countryside where things are not what they seem. With Cowboys, Indians, horses, cattle rustlers and much, much more there is something for everyone.

Great story. Pretty cool the way the main characters come together to find a way to make things work even though they are on different sides of the situation in the beginning. They are definitely feeling something for one another but are they willing to cross that line? They both have walls up and are having a hard time facing the reality of their feelings for one another. I really enjoyed watching their growth in friendship and eventually more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series so much. I was so excited to see that this is a series because I really loved Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes. I really love this series because it’s about women in their 30’s-40’s going through life as single women and fighting for love. This book really drew me in because Kaitlyn with a “K” is a career woman and reality starts to change right in front of her eyes and VERY quickly. As a single career woman myself, I found it so fun to sit down every night and read a little bit more about how she handles her career, her heels, and her dating life. I think this book is a GREAT read for all ages, but especially single women in this age range. It gives me a little bit of hope that a Hockey player will come and sweep me off my feet. (Kidding…kinda)

After reading the Detective Dylan and the Hunt for Home Plate another Chapter Book by this author.( which the kiddos love ) I had to check this out.

We made quick work of this magic filled adventure, just like the other book. After the Cliffhanger we definitely can’t wait for this next part to come. What another great book from this author.

This is the second book in this series and while you can 100% read it as a standalone this is a series that will bring up characters from previous books so it may add to the experience if you read book 1 first (but you don’t have to). Jamie and Laramee are two people who are dealing with past issues and have to interact with each other. There is humor and wonderful character development. Their romance is gentle despite the head butting and is very sweet to read. This was a lovely book.

Healing Hearts (Echo #0.5)Healing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am new to this author and the Echo series in general. Having no prior knowledge of this series did not hinder my enjoyment or understanding of Healing Hearts since it reads well as a stand alone. Right away I liked Gene and felt he was a realistic, warm and compassionate character (consistent with a doctor) and I came to believe Amanda’s character was well written as well. This book was longer than I anticipated but
it read well without any lulls or difficulty following the storyline. I enjoyed this author’s writing style, varying from the alternating narration so many novels feature. Overall,I enjoyed this backstory and look forward to reading more in this series.

In this first book we have the story of the Muses. Mainly Bianca and Sebastian. Bianca is close to flunking out of Brightling Academy. She offers to help Sebastian settle in at her school. Bianca is your sweet kind of girl. She has a lot of power but doesn’t quite know it. She has a lot of self-doubt but by the end of the novella, she has beautifully transformed into a butterfly who knows her worth. I really enjoyed this book! I will be adding it to my daughter’s library when she gets a little bit older. I think she will absolutely love this book!

This was a really cute novella. It was quick to get through. I was quite sad that it didn’t take me very long to finish it. I wanted to read more and hear more about Corisande and Noah’s story. The way it ended was very sweet, but I was wanting more. I will say though my favorite character was Sera. She was everything a best friend could ask for. I am for sure going to read more about Mythic Academy! It tied in the different myths of the sirens beautifully, and the storytelling was amazing. When the accident causing Noah to fall off his boat leads into some interesting turns and twists. Are the feeling between Corisande and Noah real, or are they just because of her curse?

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

It is the summer of 1976 and Scoob has the chance of a lifetime to play trumpet with a band. Even though she is only eleven, she is talented beyond her years but when her brother RC insists they are heading out of town so he can perform at a music festival, Scoob has no choice but to follow. Scoob learns some tough lessons in life all the while trying to get back to audition for a major band. Life has a way of taking turns you do not expect though and Scoob will turn twelve soon and life lessons are going to be a bit harder to swallow, but hope is a powerful thing.

This was intriguing. I think the author got the vibe of the seventies correct, it was a different time and people were a bit more carefree and open. Scoob’s story was a bit heartbreaking as she had her own life path she wanted to follow. Was pulled in and curious where the story would go.

Under the BandageUnder the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you read any of my reviews, you know I’m a huge fan of Lois Wickstrom! Of all the books I’ve read by her, this one is, hands down, my ABSOLUTE favorite….so far!! She writes so well that this one might be demoted at some point but it will take a lot.

This story features a young boy who loves toy soldiers. One day he has a boo-boo on his knee and his mom puts a bandage on it. The story talks about how the toy soldiers and engineers are working to put his skin back together.

I absolutely love the analogies used and I wish I would have had this book back in my nursing days. I would have read this to every one of the kiddos I took care of! The author goes a little further in depth in this story by telling about some of the bacteria that invade the body. There are some larger words here but it’s great learning for kids and adults alike! She also stresses the necessity of handwashing!

I love that this book releases today in the midst of National Nurses Week too!

This was my first book by these authors, and it blew me away! After seeing the cute cover, I had a feeling I would pick it up. I love that they put the tropes up front because I knew I was in for a good read after seeing them. I won’t give anything away, but it was truly refreshing to find that this was not a typical sports romance book. Kaitlyn is a force to be reckoned with which had me hooked instantly. Banks had me flustered at first, but after awhile I found a soft spot for him. Don’t let the cover fool you, there are some spicy scenes in this book that will surprise you (in a good way). I loved their chemistry, their banter, and the forbidden romance of it all. I finished this in one day because I couldn’t get enough! If you are looking for a funny and steamy sports romance, look no further than this. I highly recommend picking it up and giving it a chance!

I’ve enjoyed a few books by this author, but this one ties for my favorite! It’s a slight change from their historical romances yet somehow, they still wove an incredible and inspirational romance tale. I didn’t realize this was the second book in the series, but I believe it can be read as a standalone because I wasn’t lost at any point. I will be circling back to pick up the previous one anyways just because this one was sensational! The characters are relatable, and the flow of the story unfolded naturally. Laramee’s situation pulled at my heart so much, but Jamie also held a special place for me. This was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster that was pulling me in page by page. I love Colorado and the author brought the area to life in my mind. If you are looking for an intriguing romance to cuddle up with on your weekend, this should absolutely be your next read!

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy their writing style that makes her characters pop and written with a lot of heart. This is the fifth book, it can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are just as great as this one. This is a well written story that is not just full of romance but also suspense. Vivian is a dentist who has no time for romance. Arrow is a Navy Seal but has a past that seems to haunt him. How will one date, one night change everything for them both. Will they get a second chance at romance? I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease. They are engaging characters that kept me turning pages to the end. They have great growth as well as chemistry throughout the story which made it easy to read. I found this book to be fast paced and entertaining. A hard to put down story that I highly recommend.

A heartwarming romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Laramee Stone returns to her family’s Colorado ranch after leaving five years ago following a family tragedy. Meanwhile, Jamie Cannon, after making some youthful mistakes is now a successful partner in his family’s real estate business. Jamie arrives at the Stone’s remote ranch to carry out an appraisal as Laramee’s ailing parents are considering selling the place. Whilst Jamie is dedicated to fulfilling his assignment, Laramee is just keen to get him to leave her family’s ranch. However, with her family’s financial future at stake the couple reluctantly agree to work together. They soon discover that they have both had tragedies happen in their pasts, but just as their relationship develops Laramee’s ex-fiancé returns. Sutton makes it very clear that he wants to get back together with Laramee and having discovered Jamie’s past makes it clear that he thinks he is the better man for her. Jamie must then decide if he can make Laramee happy despite his past baggage and if so needs to tell her how he feels. Both Laramee and Jamie are likeable and relatable characters who’s chemistry came across in the narrative. The Colorado ranch setting was brought to life through the descriptive narrative helping me feel immersed in the storyline. An enjoyable and engaging romance which I recommend reading.

The Ghostly Diva is the 3rd and final book of the Divine Vintage and while I am sad this series is completed….I really enjoyed this series and the final book. This story gave me all the feels of spark, chemistry, enemies to lovers (which I love), drama and ghosts. While each book could be read as a standalone, I truly recommend reading this series from the beginning. This is a wonderful and fun series and I am looking forward to what the author may have in store in the future.

Justine Saunders is all about finding the best treasures in vintage clothing. When the phone rings and an opportunity arises to look at vintage clothing items from a deceased actress…she jumps at the opportunity. All Jackson Maddox wants to do is just unload all the unwanted clothing and his burly attitude is a bit standoffish with Justine. But as there are pieces to the puzzle, there is more to Jackson….he wants to know where he is from truly. Justine is discovering secrets and tries to help Jackson with his family issues…and a ghostly mom. Will there also be love in the air while trying to solve a mystery…

Definitely read and find out. This is truly a great story.

Under the BandageUnder the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Under the Bandage” by Lois Wickstrom is a fascinating and informative story that will help children understand the process of wound healing. The story is told from the perspective of a young boy who has skinned his knee and is forced to wear a bandage by his mother.

The use of personification, such as comparing the bacteria to enemies and the construction crew to workers, helps to make the concept more accessible and memorable for young readers. The illustrations accompanying the story are also helpful in visualizing the different stages of wound healing.

This book is an excellent resource for children who have experienced wounds or injuries, as it helps to demystify the healing process and reassure them that it’s a normal part of getting better. The story also encourages children to ask questions and seek information about their own bodies, which is an important aspect of healthy development.

Kris & The Cowboys: The Adventures of KrisKris & The Cowboys: The Adventures of Kris by Art Blegen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Kris and the Cowboys” by Art Blegen is a captivating tale that will transport young readers to the Wild West. The story follows Kris, a brave and resourceful protagonist, as she embarks on a cattle drive with a group of cowboys across the beautiful American landscape.

The adventure begins with a mystery: a cow has gone missing, along with one of the cowboys, Bart. Kris and the others are convinced that Bart is a rustler, and they set out to retrieve the stolen cow and bring the culprit to justice. However, their journey is fraught with challenges, including encounters with Indians, wild animals, and a devastating flood. I personally felt it was too many events that are farfetched in one short day in Kris’s life, but this is fiction!

One of the standout aspects of “Kris and the Cowboys” is its well-developed characters. Kris is a relatable and inspiring protagonist, while the other cowboys add depth and humor to the story. The supporting characters, including Bart and the tribe’s leader, are also well-written and add richness to the narrative.

This is the second book in the Silver Buckle Brides series. This is a beautifully written, heartwarming second chance romance that really pulls on your heart strings. This author does an incredible job of writing moving stories with characters that you cant help but fall in love with.
In this story we are with Jamie and Laramee .
Both of our characters have flaws and pasts they aren’t proud of.
Laramee returns back to her family’s ranch after time away. She has avoided returning home after she left escaping a tragedy that hit her family. Now she has to return to take over her families ranch as they get older and their health gets worse.
Jamie is a real estate partner who has been sent out to value her parents ranch. When they meet Laramee is frosty towards him to say the least.
However the more time they spend together the more Laramee starts warming up to him. Could this be the start of a romance?
Well not without some drama first. And that drama comes in the shape of Laramee’s ex Sutton.
Sutton returns wanting Laramee back and Jamie out of the picture and after finding out the secrets of Jamie’s past he plans to use that against him.
Now Jamie has a decision to make. Should he tell Laramee about his past and confess his feelings for her? Is he really the better man for Laramee or will his past stop him from having a future with her?

I love her courage to do whatever anyone else does. She’ll do what the adults don’t. She does a brave act to rescue Patches. The characters are quite interesting, and the story keeps kids engaged. My grandchildren enjoyed hearing this at storytime. I do hope we might get some more Kris adventures down the road.

Almost everyone enjoys a good PB&J, this book makes it more interesting by adding things that animals would enjoy with it, such as, a crocodile adding fish, a snake adding a mouse etc. Basically everyone far and wide enjoys a PB&J and they can be made multiple ways with different ingredients.

This might be my favorite adventure with Kris yet. I loved learning about horses and the Sioux Indians right along with Kris. I was afraid this was going to be another dream but so glad Kris is able to experience everything along side her uncle. Kris is very brave and courageous, I love that she stands up for people she doesn’t even know, showing kindness right away.

“Wouldn’t it be better to see if somebody is mean to you before you are mean to them?”

That got me! Excellent point Kris, great lesson for us all. I really enjoyed watching Kris become a cowboy like she wanted but also fitting in and forming a bond with the Sioux, even so far as being bestowed an Indian name by Chief Buffalo. Keep the adventures coming Mr. Blegen!
