On the magical streets of New Orleans who knew there could be a whole underworld of magical Fae. Aeris is a young curious fae who can’t help but cross the world from Laric to the human in search of adventure. Aeris’ older brother Cyrus warns him to be extra careful because he has a bad feeling. Come to find out that bad feeling lands Aeris to finding her Kinder or her sole mate. Callum has no clue what is going on but he just laid eyes on the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. The problem for Aeris is that humans can´t see Fae unless that human has magical blood themself.
I have read Fae books before but this particular book was one of a kind. The author’s development of the story, characters, and plot was beyond amazing. I can’t wait to see what else this author comes out with.

Rhapsody in Black: An Elena del Carral Mystery by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop! We are introduced into the world of ballet from Elena’s point of view. She’s a principal ballerina that has been invited to audition for Black Rhapsody, at her old ballet theatre. She gladly accepts and is excited to audition, but not for the reason everyone thinks. From sabotage, to secrets to accidents, something is going on at the world renown theatre, and all fingers point to Elena. Just when I thought I figured out what was going on, Maria would throw a curve ball and I would have to rethink everything I knew and go back and go over everything all over again. This novella was beautifully well done, and the character development was absolutely phenomenal.
England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have had a desire to travel abroad for many years. The likelihood of actually travelling abroad for me is pretty unrealistic, however if anyone wouldn’t mind tucking me into your suitcase, I’ll gladly go!
When I came across this book, I was excited to see that it is a true hidden gem. I feel like I’ve travelled to England through the pages of this book! The author has compiled an extremely thorough book of everything you need to know if you were planning a trip to England. She covers various legends and myths, hidden gem locations, the best places to eat and times to go, places to stay, how to manage converting money, best times to travel, best ways to travel and so much more! Terminology used there that might not be familiar is also defined.
Great resource and I’ll refer to it again if I ever do get the opportunity to actually travel there. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through the pages of this book!

Drag Me Down by Landra Graf

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from her first book that I picked up by her. I never hesitate to pick up her books as I know that I am in for quite a journey. This author never lets me down. This is the fourth book in this series which is just as great as the previous books in the series. I highly suggest reading them as well, you won’t regret it. This is a well written story where the author brought the characters to life on each page. They are strong, creative and add so much to the story. This is a story that starts out as revenge but then turns into something more. These characters don’t see it coming. I enjoyed watching the growth and chemistry throughout the book which made it easy to pick up. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. An engaging story that will keep you coming back for more. This is a really great story that I enjoyed reading. I highly recommend this book.

The Winemakers – Box set: A Series of Sun-Kissed Historical Romances by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Winemakers is a beautifully written set. The character development and world building are outstanding and add to the overall plot. This historical romance series is a taste of history with enough action and suspense to keep the story moving. The characters have real depth and the historical details add to the story rather than slowing it down. Worth a read!
Sugar and Spice by Phoebe Alexander is the first book in the Spicetopia series and one I did NOT want to put down. I could read any book by this author and NOT be disappointed. The characters are so developed, the story line intriguing, and just as the title says, a little bit of sugar and a little it of spice. I was able to read this book in one night and still thinking about it.
Cy and Jolie, the main characters, truly will grab you. Cy being the black sheep in his family sent in to find out who is having employees go on strike. Jolie, a single mom, working two jobs just to help raise her two kids. Both fighting hard to not fall in love, but can they fight it?
I truly loved this book and can not wait to read more in this series, I highly recommend this, and I hope that the others in the series grab me just as this one did!

Their struggle to find a cure and keep their relationship together is left in the hands of fate. This story has great world building and growth throughout.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My entire household loves this author, and the kids get so excited when I bring a new book home. Imagine their surprise when it was centered on their favorite insect, lightning bugs! When Loretta happens upon some luminous larvae, she is intrigued and embarks on a journey to understand the life cycle of these new creatures. I love the way the author is able to flawlessly weave educational tidbits without losing the interest of kiddos. The illustrations were a little different from other books by Lois, but they are still wonderful and helpful for the young ones to gain more context. I loved the facts about fireflies even as an adult! These books always spark such wonderful conversations with my kids. I highly recommend having this in your classroom or at home and letting it light up your little one’s curiosity!

This is my favorite book in The Olympic Peninsula series by far! I already loved the previous books so it was a no brainer that I would pick it up and enjoy it. Although you can read these as a standalone, I highly recommend reading them in order to get the full extent of the characters and background. I was excited to see that this was Jake’s story because we met him early on in his less-than-pleasant stages. He’s made enormous leaps and bounds in his life it seems, and his family isn’t sure what to make of him now. Getting to see Jake’s side of the story is eye-opening and pulls at your heartstrings. This was quite the emotional rollercoaster with plenty of angst, romance, and family ordeals. The flow of the story felt effortless which is no small feat! I highly recommend picking this up as well as the rest of the series. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the next installment, I’m on pins and needles!

This is book one of the Elemental Series. This is not my normal genre since I don’t get into supernatural and fantasy but I figured I’d give it a try. While Aeris and Callum were good characters that have the great tension plus bad girl, good guy scenario…I just couldnt get into it. It was too far fetched. I did love how these two learned each other, compromised and listened to each other in every way possible. Hopefully you have better luck!
The Winemakers – Box set: A Series of Sun-Kissed Historical Romances by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Winemakers Series is one boxset to get behind. The author brings you into a world of love, happiness, drama, loss, conflict, and so much more! 3 books that will keep you reading for hours that you won’t want to put down.
Pedro is my favorite character across the series. Being heavily featured in book 1 & 2. He’s a man who is misunderstood but will eventually get what he deserves in life. I would go into detail but I don’t want to give any spoilers going from book 1 to 2. Let’s just say, don’t judge a book by its cover when it comes to him.
These books come with a lot of lust and passion amongst the characters. Maybe not as steamy as some, however that’s not the only way to feature lust and passion. Every character has a story, it’s just a matter of which book it’s featured in. They all also come in and out in supporting roles when it’s not their story.
Can they be read as standalones, sure but is that any fun? Reading them straight through would be my suggestion. Just make sure you have time because as I stated before you won’t want to pit them down.
Good luck, and I wonder who you’re favorite character will be?!?!
Loris Opens Up His Heart: An Emotional Story For Kids by Dagmara Sitek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Loris Opens Up His Heart is a emotional read that is aimed at children from 5-10 years of age, but I believe that this is a must read for anyone. The story of Loris really brings out emotions of being afraid, angry and feeling alone and abandoned but also educational teaching of love, acceptance, patience and kindness.
Loris is being juggled around to many foster families until he is with a family that include Cam and Inaya whom want to make Loris feel welcomed. When Cam and Inaya are getting ready for a charity run for Susie, they want to include Loris…who has no interest at first. When Loris finally opens up about his feelings and heart…he soon learns that he is loved and accepted.
This is truly a must read for the young and young at heart. The story is heartfelt and the illustrations are beautiful and engaging and bring the story to life. We can all learn a lesson how to open up our hearts…There is someone who always cares….
Rhapsody in Black: An Elena del Carral Mystery by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rhapsody in Black by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is the first book in the Elena del Carral Mystery series. It is a tribute to her mother who was a famous prima ballerina.
This cleverly crafted mystery is fast-paced with some thrills that is as interesting as it is intriguing.
With accidents, drama, threats, scheming, sabotage, secrets, agendas, romance, and so much more Rhapsody in Black takes the reader in to the cutthroat world of dancing, ballet. But it is not all doom and gloom there are some laughs to be had as well.
The characters are well written, and the plot is cleverly crafted but some of the story is told by recounting of events that I feel would have been much better had they been made a part of the main story itself.
Elena a ballerina and choreographer has been invited to perform but she soon remembers why she left this life behind. Nothing has changed from when she was in it but now it seems it has only gotten more deadly.
Ballet enthusiasts will love this story and if you aren’t it is something different than your average cosy mystery.

The Changed Man is Book Four in the Olympic Peninsula series. It is a contemporary romance with family dynamics, drama, secrets, intrigue, mystery, suspense, angst, and conflict. The characters are interconnected from the previous books in this series, so it is best to read the previous books prior to this one. This story focus on the MC Jake O’Connell who has returned to Port Townsend for his brother David’s wedding. Jake has been estranged from the family and returned without letting anyone know that he was coming so his return causes quite a stir within his family. He has held a bit of a grudge against his brothers because they left him to run the family business while they ran off to pursue their dreams. Jake has left his life as the CEO of the family business in North Bend and has turned to a life of writing. The story focuses on how Jake has transformed his life, and the complex relationship Jake has with his family, especially his twin brother, the famous country singer Joe Bob Blade. When Jake meets Chiara, his brother’s son’s guardian, he feels an instant connection, but she is married. He wants her despite the obstacles that are standing in his way. This book builds on prior ones in the series and delves a bit deeper into the complicated lives and relationships of the O’Connell family. The characters were relatable, engaging, multi faceted, complex, and experienced tremendous growth throughout the story. The storyline was well written with intricate details that fully immerse you into the lives of this complex family.
Drag Me Down by Landra Graf

Drag Me Down is the fourth exciting action-packed tale in this unique Sci Fi romance tale. I think this one is my favourite so far. Landra takes her readers on a thrilling ride of their life with fast cars, artificial intelligence, cyborgs, sabotage, gangs and so much more. This fast-paced tale is full of high speed, action, suspense, adventure and revenge.
Drag has been battered, bruised, betrayed and left for dead but now it’s time for revenge. They say revenge is sweet and he can almost taste it. He won’t be fooled this time.
Bridget makes no bones for what she does so when she tries to infiltrate the enemy, she is thwarted at every turn but what she hadn’t counted on was her traitorous heart.
They race fast and live hard doing what they love. It’s full throttle and pedal to the metal all the way. This enemies to lovers tale gives us a romance where the sexual tension is so palpable it is off the charts. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Giovanna has put these wonderful stories into a boxset for us to enjoy. No need to scramble to find the other books as they are now all together so you can go from one straight to another to enjoy.
The True Purpose of Vines is a historical romance is not really my thing, but I was pleasantly surprised by this compelling story and the authors narrative. This enemies-to-lovers story is Giovanna’s debut novel and as a first book she has done very well. It is an historical romance story set in the 1870’s in the Douro region. It vividly showcases Portugal’s rich history, culture and lore’s and traditions and winemaking mixed in with a dash of romance. Giovanna’s beautifully written tale will not only capture your heart but will leave you wanting more. With cultural differences and prejudices and a plague can one headstrong woman and one man who believes himself above others come together and find true love? Julia is the best winemaker in the region. She has everything she loves and will defend it to the bitter end, but it is all threatened by her late husbands’ debt. Griffin is an arrogant Englishman. He doesn’t want to be where he is, but trade dictates the need. However, he may just have met his match.
The Taste of Light is a historical romance tale and the second book in the series. I was pleasantly surprised by the first book and enjoyed Giovanna’s storytelling. This tale is richly told from 1872 Portugal and port to port as our characters are on the run. The story is steeped in history, traditions, cultures, a conspiracy and accusations and the love of winemaking. There is heartbreak, compassion and passion, tenderness, danger and tension, angst and animosity, chemistry and romance. We met Pedro in the first book, but he is front and centre in this book. We find that there is so much more to this character and how he has been shaped. It is hard not to like him. As long as he cannot reconcile his past and present there is no future and all that he longs for. Anne finds herself in the most unlikely of circumstances and on a ‘road trip’. She is young and naïve but is full of light and wonder but don’t let that fool you. Under it all is a woman that has a backbone and strength.
Will they make it together or will the past be too much to overcome? This intricately woven tale will have you hoping against hope that love will prevail.
The Truth About Myths is a historical enemy to lover’s romance tale and the third book in fabulous The Winemakers series. It is easy to imagine the world and time period as Giovanna writes with rich historical detail, descriptions, and world building, with such passion and in a vibrant style. This Regency romance is set in Portugal and Spain amongst the Monarchy and court politics, secrets and scheming. This beautiful love story shows the difficulties and struggles they face with their relationship. There is heartbreak, compassion and passion, tenderness, danger and tension, angst and animosity, chemistry and romance.
I love that it was told in dual POV as we learned so much about these characters and especially Henrique’s rakish ways. Their journey is filled with sense of duty, patriotism, and unexpected twists and turns. The swoon worthy playboy Viscount Henrique doesn’t believe in love, and he has big dreams, but he is about to be whacked over the head with it. He is witty, charming, sexy and an unapologetic rake. It’s hard not to like him. Princess Isabel is the epitome of entitled princess. She is a determined, strong and intelligent woman who cares about doing the right thing for women and is about to find out there is much more to life. I loved their wit, banter, chemistry, and the perfect amount of push pull denial and tension as they learn more about each other. I often found myself laughing at their antics or situations they found themselves in. I recommend reading this book if you are a fan of historical romance, enemies to lovers, opposites attract forced proximity stories.

Loretta loves insects and while digging in her flower bed she finds glowing larvae. She places them in an empty ant farm and watches them as they dig little mud houses underground. After several days of observing the activity of the larvae Loretta notices that there are fireflies coming out so she takes the ant farm outside so they can fly free. She then spends time watching the fireflies and makes some interesting observations about how they flash.

This is a tale of forbidden love, forbidden fruit, fate, destiny, Fae, magic and lots more. It is steamy and sexy, alluring and passionate, supernatural and fantasy.

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a spicy romance between a single mom and an undercover billionaire. Cy Sweet’s family owns a theme park and the family is concerned that their employees are plotting a strike against them. Cy is the free spirit of the family who is being forced to go undercover to find the person responsible for plotting a possible strike. What Cy doesn’t realize is that he would start to like the undercover job (in the bakery), but he would really like his co-workers. One co-worker who has his attention is “The Queen” of the theme park, Jolie Cox. Jolie is a single mother of 2 children and one of them has Cystic Fibrosis. Many of the employees, including Jolie, are coming together to out the company about their lack of pay, benefits, etc. However, she also starts to like Cy or “Marcus” (his undercover name) to the point that they start a little escapade in her dressing room. This romance turns into Cy really wanting to date her and get to know her, even when he finds out about her age, her kids, etc. While Cy is making progress in finding the leader, by getting close to everyone, he also starts to realize that his parents don’t really treat their employees well enough, and that matters to him because he starts to care for these people. Will this change when they all find out who he is? Will he have to choose between family and friends when it comes down to it?
I enjoyed this book. I thought the progression of events were a little unrealistic in how fast the sexual aspect took place and without much questioning. However, all the characters we likeable. I think when it came to Jolie, I gravitated toward her because I also have a child with Cystic Fibrosis. I also like how they fought for what they believed in, but then she also handled all of the craziness well and the storyline wasn’t over-dramatized. I will probably go on to read the others in the series.
