This was a lovely romance story. The characters are so likeable that you feel every emotion they go through. It was a nice easy read and goes to show dreams can come true if you really want it.

Reign (The Larussio Legacy Book 3) by Via Mari was such an emotional rollercoaster ride. It felt like so much happened that I was flipping to get to the next scene. The steam and drama were all there and kept me glued to the pages. The pacing and storytelling was phenomenal. I loved the ending!

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the third book of the kissed by fate series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I love a good young adult book but this author always exceeds my expectations. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately and I couldn’t put it down until the end. It only took me a day to devour this incredible book.
Ashley and Brian have been friends ever since they were young. They never thought that they would be attracted to each other. It is the summer after graduation and Ashley is getting ready to go to college. She is excited to see where life takes her but she is shocked when her and Brian share an amazing kiss. Ashley never thought that her and Brian could be more than friends. When tragedy strikes they are pushed apart and ten years later they are reunited. Ashley has to get to the bottom of her family secrets and she is shocked that she runs into Brian. She feels the connection right away but can they overcome their past? Will Ashley find the answers she is looking for or was the answer right in front of her the whole time? Review by @heatherbass

I really enjoy this authors writing and this was such a great story. Its a quick read but has al you could want in a book. We meet Zen and Seb and they were so great to read about. And their chemistry was so fun to read about. I always let myself get lost in a good story and I did this here. Cant wait for more.

We are first introduced to Ava in the first book in this series…and her story is definitely one that should be read. Ava’s friendship with her two best guy friends has been transforming into something more for years. After a night filled with liquid courage, Ava gets to live out her fantasy with her guys. The aftermath, however, is heartbreaking and eye-opening. Hunter takes off, leaving Ava and Thomas behind to mend what’s left of their broken hearts. When Hunter comes back, years later, to make things right between the three of them…is it too little too late? And what happens when their insecurities from their first encounter threaten to end things before they can really get going again? (Hint: You have to read it to find out!) This is a beautifully written story that is realistic and super hot! I mean put your kindle down and look around to make sure no one else can see the sexiness on your screen! I found myself immersed in Ava’s story and am left wanting more of her and her guys. Can’t wait to see what is next for this series!

The Dating Itinerary by Brooke Williams was a good 4 star read.
We meet Penny and Geo (George) in this story, they are both journalists. These two have a complicated past. When Penny gets a new assignment things take an interesting twist. She has to try a bunch of different dating strategies to see which one is the most successful. What she didn’t anticipate is that Geo has the same assignment.
Overall this was a fun read, seeing all the dating options these two went through and the connection that was building between them. There are some LOL moments. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. This is a quick read that will pull you right in. 1-click and get started today.

A Dead Man Speaks ( a Clive January Mystery Book 1) Lisa Jones Gentry 4 out of 5 stars
I’ve been reading (and enjoying) a lot of books outside of my normal genre as of late. This was a great read and a bit more of what I gravitate toward. This was my first book I have read by this author and much to my pleasant surprise, a first in a series. This is one of those books that has characters that you find yourself growing attached to. I found myself intrigued from start to finish as a Dead Man Speaks has elements of a good mystery/thriller. The idea of the victim taking part in solving his own murder is fantastic to me! While there is an obvious paranormal element to the story, I never felt like the author was reaching or that the twists and turns were over the top. I wholeheartedly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by Lisa Jones Gentry.

Book 9 in the Rogue Series, Rock Star on the Verge by Lara Ward Cosio was simply an amazing adventure! I truly love this series and the depths that it goes to. This is not your typical “rock star” book. This story follow’s Donal, a 17 year old on the verge of turning 18 that has no care in the world except going to clubs and his following on Instagram. He wants to be a musician but doesn’t want to put the effort into it. Donal is also Martin Wheeler’s of Rogue’s son. Conor, the guitarist of Rogue is on a downward spiral of depression. Having just lost his father, he doesn’t have any enjoyment out of life anymore. So what do they do? Go on a motorbike trip from Ireland to Spain so that Donal can finally meet his girl and to find a sense of adventure. It will also help Conor do a bit of healing too. It was a really good book, as I couldn’t put it down! There are so many elements and emotions to this book it made you connect with it on a different level. I can’t say enough about this book and this series. I would definitely read the books from the beginning so you can have a background to place it all. However, I’m sure you get away with reading this by itself though. I can’t wait to read the next one to see where Donal’s career as a musician has taken him!

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series Book 9) by Lara Ward Cosio
I have loved the Rogue series since I read the first book and this one is no different. In this book we get to watch Donal and Conor figure some things out. Donal Whelan is the son of Martin Whelan, a member of Rogue. Conor, Donal’s godfather has been depressed since his father passed away. These two end up on a road trip, they both discover new things about themselves and each other. This book is so well written, you can feel the emotions jumping off the pages. I was happy to see all the old characters we know and love in this book as well. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read all of the books in this series so you have more back story of the characters and because they are all really great books! I can never get enough of this series and I hope it never ends. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this story, but I will say that this is a must read! I highly recommend this book.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2). By Tabi Slick.
I have been waiting for this book for what feels like ages. (About two months) I absolutely fell in love with this magical, dramatic fantasy trilogy. We pick back up with Izara and Kain’s story, them struggling to come to terms with there new lives at Tompkins Academy and what they have become, we see their confusion and pain throughout this book and all credit to the wonderful author Tabi Slick, Tabi is a wonderful fantasy author, you are pulled into this story as if you’re right there in the thick of it along for the ride. I can’t wait for the next book.

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick is a YA paranormal/supernatural story. The story is unique and original and Tabi made me fall in love with her first book and drew me into a world that is different and enticing. Her cleverly casted words and crafted characters leave you wanting more. The journey with Izzy and Kain is fraught with mysteries and suspense and is truly one of a kind that is totally engrossing.

I loved reading the book Tidal Love by KM Lowe. It is a beautiful romantic story that touched my heart and had me hooked from the beginning. I loved the characters of Harleigh Harrison and Giovani Russi. Harleigh is a strong and intelligent woman. She has a past that she is trying to overcome. Trying to move forward is what brings her to Bulgaria and in meeting Giovani. Giovani is a successful businessman. He also has a past that has shaped his current life. Then he meets Harleigh. The chemistry between them is off the charts. They both discover feelings that they have not had in a long time. With their past still in the minds will they take a chance with each other? Will they get a HEA? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time. I grew to care about Harleigh and Giovani with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between them. I also enjoyed reading about other additional characters that interacted and cared about Harleigh and Giovani. The book also has some very romantic scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. The author has an amazing way of making the story and characters come alive on the pages. Don’t miss out on a romantic and entertaining story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

All i can say is wow, i am speechless! This set is 4-6 in this series and i highly recommend reading them in order, and just reading them in general! I have read this series from the start and i’m still thrown for a loop every time i read a new chapter! Mina Chara is an excellent and talented author, who knows just how to keep you guessing. I have absolutely loved reading about Friday and the relationships she has with those around her, as well as the predicaments that Friday finds herself in. This series is fast paced, and will keep you hooked on every line. I very very much look forward to reading more from Mina, I absolutely love her work!!

Hero High:: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 4-6) by Mina Chara.
This is Books 4-6 in the Hero High series, I would recommend reading the first three books before reading these. I loved the series from the start. Following Fridays journey has been a whirlwind for sure, she’s a easy to like character and you will have a instant like for her. Mina Chara is a great Author, she’s very good at keeping the readers attention, the books are and the shorter side but you feel as if it’s a full length story and are not left with any missing links like I’ve found in some shorter books. I highly recommend this series please give it a go.

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series Book 9) by Lara Ward Cosio. Wow just wow. I’m finding a little hard to truly come up with the words to do this book justice in this review. From page one I knew I was in for quite the adventure with all these amazing characters. This coming of age story took me on a journey that had me on the edge of my seat more than once anxiously waiting to see what the next pages would bring. The attention to even the smallest of details had me in complete awe of this author and her writing style. The characters are complex and relatable making them seem very life like. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five big stars all the way and highly recommended. Can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer.

This may be on the shorter side but it still packs a punch with a great storyline and great characters. Characters that draw you so completely in that I was happy to be lost in its pages for a while. Each character brings something unique to the storyline and they are so easy to connect with. The storyline is unique in it’s own right and I loved every minute of it.

This one isn’t as light hearted and hero-ey as the last ones. In here we get into the nitty gritty of the show and the school. I am saddened it has lost its flair for fun times. This one seems more serious. The characters are mostly the same with a couple added in.
While it the ending to the story I think it focuses too much on messages and the story gets lost in the mix.

IRRESISTIBLE – FALL INTO ROMANCE (Irresistible Romance Book 5) I’m a sucker for a great set of stories that pull at my heart. That’s exactly what the set of stories has done. Each one brought me all the feelings. Each one with amazing characters that were all so easy to connect with and had me lost in each of their worlds for a bit. One of my favorite things about an anthology is I get to visit new authors as well as some authors I already love. I think anthologies are a great way to bring authors together and readers also. This set pulled at every single heart string I’ve got an I truly loved every minute of it. I had a couple favorites I’ll be honest one of which was Two Hearts Truce each character pulled me in from beginning to end and I was sad to leave them but there was more to read! Another favorite was The Lies between Us this one really kept me on the edge of my seat. While I say those are favorites I promise you each story is awesome! Five huge stars and highly recommended!

The Dating Itinerary is about a journalist who is semi-forced into going through different dating routes such as tinder, matchmaking, dark dating etc. and she has to give her feedback on it every week for her company’s magazine. If she ends up finding love by the end, she might finally get a cover story! The twist however, lies in her old colleague/nemesis who has the same task as her (albeit in a different magazine) who ends up bumping into her everywhere! Will they finally become friends or is he annoying until the end? Well… read and find out?
I absolutely loved this book! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did! It gave me such ‘The Hating Game’ vibes mixed with the movie ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ and I’m obsessed with both of them so needless to say, I had a blast! The characters are so real and I found the story to be so easy going and every time I put it down, I was dying to pick it up and start reading again! I would highly recommend this book!
The reason I gave it a 4 stars instead of a 5 is because I think the reason for George’s (the main man’s) reasoning for wanting the promotion was justifiable but took me out of the story a bit since it was never properly dealt with at the end, nor did it change during the book. Other than that though; the plot, the characters and the writing as a whole were highly enjoyable and exactly what I was looking for after a tiring week.

This was an interesting, historical story about John the Baptist and how his teachings about love and equality helped to change people’s thoughts and beliefs.
It is a heartwarming story as his relationship and connection with Mischa grows but it is also heartbreaking because of the outcome.
Its a story that teaches us that everyone is equal no matter who they are or what they believe and that everyone deserves love and compassion. It is a very thought provoking story especially in the current world.

A Dead Man Speaks (A Clive January Mystery #1) by Lisa Jones Gentry
This is the first book by the author that I’ve read. It won’t be my last by Gentry. She’s got a great way of wording and her characters. I highly recommend this for Crime lovers.
Clive had a bad life. As a young boy his mom didn’t want him. His father takes him and they move into a boarding house. The lady of the house takes them in.
Clive loses his father and his mom comes to take him back. He takes off after he graduates because he can’t take living with his mom. The quote I chose for Clive is: “What did that guy really say?”

The Saint of Liars (The Lucky Devil series Book 2) by Megan Mackie was a good dystopia read. This is the second book in the series and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first. The world was fantastic and well written. Rune and St. Benedict were very well developed and I loved them! This was definitely a page turner that I did not want to put down.

Rock Star on The Verge is the 9th book in the Rogue Series by Lara Ward Cosio. This series is set around Irish rock band Rogue, the band members and their families. I had read a couple of the earlier books in the series, those with Danny Boy’s story and really enjoyed them and was looking forward to reading another book in this great series. This book is a bit different in that the romantic element totally takes a back seat, the book is much more of a coming of age story for Donal and a re-evaluation of life for Conor. I hadn’t read the books with Conor’s story but I really loved getting to know him in this book. It was hard reading about him struggling with depression after the death of his father after losing my own father to Covid recently but could totally understand what he was going through. I absolutely loved the camaraderie between Donal and Conor as they went on their journey, literally and figuratively. Donal has always hero worshipped Conor and I loved reading about him getting to see the real Conor. Another thing that I really loved about this book was seeing the other Rogue guys and their families again. There is such a great bond between them all and the support they give each other is fantastic (as are the put-downs they give each other too). I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone considering reading it.

Rock Star on the Verge(Rogue #9)by Lara Ward Cosio
5 out of 5 stars
I have read every single book in this series a few times. I loved seeing the crew and what they have been up to and what trouble they are causing. I have always though that Gavin was my Favorite but nope Connor F###ing Quinn is my favorite. I loved seeing how Ms. Cosio has shown how the characters have grown and they still go through everyday drama. We have watched these guys grow from boys to men and their families grow. Now we get to see what the younger generation and if they too have musical talent like their famous fathers. This story is about a journey for two lost souls. Connor has been feeling the blues for a while now and Donal Martins eldest son has been making a name for himself but not in a good way. Connor is turning 40 and felicity throws him a surprise party. At this party Connor and Donal are talking and Connor realizes that all their kids are living the privileged life even though Donal has lived the ridicule and scrutiny. So, Connor suggests a road trip what goes on, on the road trip is totally different than Donal is used to and not just that Connor is not acting himself. I am going to end this review like this because you really need to read the story to find out what happens and what their Journey has entailed and where they go from there,

A Dead Man Speaks is the first book in Lisa Jones Gentry’s Clive January Mystery series. The premise of the book is that the deceased Mr January can’t rest until his murder is solved and is able to communicate with Detective Bob Greene to help him. Which should really make the case easier for Greene except that what he gets from January are a series of powerful memories from throughout his life which send him chasing up all kinds of leads which may or may not have anything to do with January’s death. The story takes a while to get going. For the first twelve chapters it feels like January’s life is flashing slowly before his eyes. This gives us a fair bit of backstory which is useful later on, but I think interspersing this with aspects of the murder investigation would have given the story a more momentum. It is worth persevering, though, as it is an interesting story and the pace and tension do pick up later in the book. Detective Greene is a complicated character. He testified against a partner who murdered a black teenager but did nothing in the moment to stop his partner. This means that pretty much everybody dislikes him, and his apparently confused morals make it hard for the reader to warm to him. He is persistent, though, and determined to find justice for January. For me, this is a four-star book. It requires a fair bit of attention and patience but rewards you with an intriguing, tangled mystery with plenty of twists and surprises. I’d recommend it to mystery fans who are interested in ghosts and the paranormal. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel!
