I have read many anthologies and books written by dual authors but this is the first specific book that I have read with multiple authors attached. I loved the way the book was written and the story was developed. This is fantastic fantasy story with so many moving parts which made it so easy to connect with. The characters that have been created with this book are so interesting. They caught my attention immediately and I was pulled into their story effortlessly. The book is so fast paced and exciting, I was carried along with ease. This is a brilliant story and I am really looking forward to book 2.

Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Kerry Baker
If you love mythical romances, this is the book for you. This story follows Aeris, a fae rule breaker, who often sneaks into the human world to explore, and Callum, a detective in New Orleans, who finds out the truth about his bloodline. These two fall in love and have to battle to save their worlds. It is a great read and very well written, in my opinion. It has great character building, but world building could be improved on.

This is NOT the typical story that I reach for, but, what can I say? I was feeling extra spicy one day…This first book in the Spicetopia series is quick, fun, steamy, and just hit the spot. Cy and Jolie’s story is enticing and well-written, so I had absolutely no problem falling right into it. This is not just your normal steamy romance, but an original take that makes it interesting and is actually relatable. Even if romance isn’t what you normally pick up, I highly suggest giving this book a shot. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one!

This is book one of the Elemental Series. This is not my normal genre since I don’t get into vampires 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. Hopefully you have better luck!

The Glow in Loretta’s Garden by Lois Wickstrom is a cute and educational children’s book that uses story telling to teach about the life cycle of fireflies. This story is the perfect way to trick your kiddos into doing something educational without their knowledge. I even learned some things that I did not know. I highly recommend this to anyone with kids! The illustrations are also stunning! 5 out of 5 stars.

I have not completed this series but I have read the first two and cannot wait to read the third. I really love the historical part of these books and I love the settings. Being set in my Favorite country to go on holiday I just find myself lost in these books and really recommend them to all.
The True Purpose of Vines Book 1:
Oh man I am in heaven. This book incompasses three of my favorite things; Portugal, History and Romance. I was just hooked and loved reading this book. I enjoyed how there was just as much drama and romance to balance out the book. I like how the characters were not simple but had depth and that the story was set in a historic setting. Historic romances are one of my favorite genres to read.
The chemistry and interaction of the characters makes the book flow. The storyline was rich and brought the characters to life. I really felt as though I was back in historic Portugal and could smell the vinyards. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.
The Taste of Light Book 2:
I couldn’t ask for more in a romance book than including two of my favorite things. This book is set in my most favorite place to go to on holiday and also it’s a romance I really couldn’t ask for anything else. To make it even more it is a historical romance which is one of my top favorite genres. I like how the author is able to bring the back story to add to the present of the characters. I was really drawn into the drama of the book and hooked. I really didn’t want to put it down. The author is able to bring the characters to life and draw the reader into the adventure. I really felt as though I was right there in the midst of the drama and adventure as it unfolds. The author draws out the story and grabs you and I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Oh my what more can I say? I have found yet another author and series I just want to get lost in. I really love mythical fantasy type books and this really just hit the spot. I love how the real world and mythical are combined to bring an electric atmosphere and just made me want to escape. I love how there is just the right amount of romance mixed into drama and adventure. I love how there is a sense of mystery and I cannot wait to see how the whole series will pan out. I just couldn’t put this book down and I plan on reading it again and again.

Amese of Animalis is the first book in The Borosa Legacy by MJ Murray. A wonderful start to a magical fantasy adventure intended for a younger audience, however I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book regardless of my age. Truly an enthralling and enchanting book, with beautiful imagery, world building, and fascinating characters. I felt a personal connection to Amese immediately, and couldn’t get enough of her narrative. I haven’t read from this author before, but I can guarantee I’m waiting for book two!

Touched: Elemental Passions is the first book in a series. It follows Aeris, fae rule breaker, as she ventures into the human world of New Orleans and bumps into- literally- detective Callum, who is not all that he seems. It is later revealed he is part sylph.
I did enjoy this book but I felt like there was a lot thrown in there that wasn’t all fully explained. Seemingly every mythical creature became involved, a lot of plot holes and things that just didn’t seem plausible.
**Possible spoilers**
Callum is an experienced detective and after he gets attacked by werewolves in a warehouse, saved by his fae girlfriend, then attacked again at his home by werewolves within a couple hours they make an escape to a grandmother he suddenly remembers was ‘different’. Turns out- sylph. (her house is bascially a woodland and he just never noticed…) Upon escaping, instead of focusing on answers in the short time they have (Aeris needs to be back home by dawn) they instead get intimate- a couple times- THEN come down for answers on what he is and why they’re being attacked. Maybe I’m being too pragmatic, but I don’t see a cop putting physical above ‘uhh, I’m a mythical creature and attacked by werewolves twice in one night, I need answers’.
3/4 of the way through, there is a prophecy is introduced and neither Aeris nor Callum press for any details, because the sylph who found out who he was is now leading an army of all mythical creatures he knows nothing about. Oh, and his human boss is blowing up his phone in one chapter for going MIA, and then nothing more really said about it in the next… Just a lot that doesn’t really add up from a practical/human standpoint.
The world building is great, the attention to most detail is nice, I just could not get past these plot holes and believability. :/

Being a new kid in any situation is hard, but being a new kid in foster care is even harder. Loris is the new kid, he is scared, withdrawn and angry. Even though Cam and Inaya try to befriend him he is having a hard time adapting. Will the kids give up on Loris? Will Loris come around? This author opened the eyes of many with this story. The emotion put into this story is spot on. Cam and Inaya are the best siblings and have opened their hearts to Loris, they understand what he is going through. I really enjoyed this story! The courage, love, and helping others, made this book a must have to all libraries.

Touched a light and sexy read. It is love at first sight from the first moment Callum sees Aeris. The issue is their love is forbidden by the Fae. Will their love be able to conquer all? The world development and story felt/ read like a YA book, but the sexy scenes are very much adult. This was due to Aeris reading human romance books and never having a partner prior. She wants to gain her independence from her parents and finds her love in the most unlikely of places. It has the trope of forbidden love. Callum was living a normal human life until he got dragged into the world of magic that is all around him. Tt was fun to experience this from his point of view. The sexy scenes and chemistry between the main characters is fantastic! The ending leads into an epic tale that cannot be missed. Overall, I found the characters and story enjoyable and fun to read. I will be on the lookout for the next book in the series.

This is a beautiful children’s book about Loris who struggles to open up to his new foster home. This is a fantastic book that could be used to teach compassion, kindness, courage, overcoming fears, and so much more. I really love the empathy we feel from Cam and Inaya and the vulnerability we eventually get from Loris. This is a fantastic teaching tool for kids and the illustrations are phenomenal.

This is a enjoyable read full of family drama, twist and turns and romance appearing in a place you least expect it. This is the fourth book in the Olympic Peninsula series. I would recommend reading these books in order as each book focuses on a different member of the family however characters do cross over. Plus you get a better feeling and understanding for the family and the dynamics at work.
In this story we are with Jake O’Connell. Jake moved away from the family and was CEO of the family business. He has always been a driven man stopping at nothing to succeed no matter the cost. When he returns home for his brother David’s wedding he catches everyone by surprise. And they are even more surprised to hear he has resigned as CEO, rent a house and is now a writing thrillers. What has made this man do a complete 180 and change his life so drastically? With his heart heavy from the loss of his friend, resentment towards his brother for leaving him with the family business so he couldn’t pursue his own dreams and finding his muse in Chiara there is a lot of emotions to work through. This is Chiara and Jake’s story. The connection between them is instant but with Chiara being married will anything come of this flame or will it burn out? This is a emotionally rollercoaster of a story as you witness all the family angst, as well as the complicated feelings between Jake and Chiara. I have enjoyed every book in this series so far and I can’t wait for it to continue

I couldn’t put this one down! It gripped me straight away. I love this sort of story and this did not disappoint! This follows Callum and Aeris as they discover their two worlds are about to collide. Aeris is a fae and Callum is human… or so he thinks but his world is turned upside down when he meets Aeris. It’s a story of self discovery, first love, friendship, war and more. This is so well written I just couldn’t put it down, I thoroughly enjoyed this and I’m so looking forward to the next installment!
This is a really cute kids mystery that will intrigue all ages. You have to stick with it as the beginning is a bit jumpy and has you all over the place, but once Wickstrom hits her stride…you are in it for the long haul. Code Dog is the story of Timmy, Beth, and Arthur as they try to find a 200-year old time capsule so they can win the $1,000 prize. Luckily, Mrs. Vance has a map the kids can use while she is recuperating from surgery and Timmy is caring for Cody, her adored dog. However, along the way, the kids and readers learn that Cody has secrets of her own and may be the key in helping them find the missing time capsule before their time runs out. There is suspense, humor, and friendship. This is a great chapter book for blossoming readers as well as a fantastic read-a-long for bedtime. As always, Wickstrom does a fantastic job of not only telling a wonderful story, but weaving life lessons throughout.

I have read a few of these books by G Pa Rhymes with my son. We always enjoy the adventure the characters go on. This time, it was an adventure of kindness. Fay and Cray start swimming to warmer waters. On their way, they find some animals who need help. These books always flow nicely and will keep kids entertained. They will also learn something along the way. At the end of each book, there is always extra fun included.

This is one of the most heartwarming books I’ve read. It’s probably one of the closest I’ve seen to explain to foster children about family. I think Loris is a sweet child. I loved how the author explained the feelings of all the kids and how what he was feeling was normal. I wish we could get a copy of this book to every foster child or therapist.

I love a good mystery. This author does a tremendous job with setting up her stories. The premise of the story was built around a former student returning as an instructor. The story had great detail. I really enjoyed how it built its way up to the end. Everything was explained at the end. The characters were well written and easy to relate to.

I really enjoyed this story. There was a really nice flow to the story. I was amazed to see that there were 10 authors. As a paranormal lover, it’s always a treat to find a romance with lots of goodies in the story. It is set in New Orleans, after all. Nobody thought it too odd that Callum was often seen talking to himself. You can feel a little of every emotion in this story. There are lots of fairies, trolls, and even things that can eat you. Such a fun paranormal tale. It’s an intriguing tale of good coming together to fight evil to save Aeris’s home of Laric. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series as it comes out.

It’s so exciting to see this in a boxed set. All three books together in one place. These books are so wonderfully written. They are historically detailed in such a way that almost makes you feel that you can see the beauty of the location during that time. You can feel the noise, etc. The characters in each story bring such depth and personality to them. Each story is unique yet tied together by the family piece. Whether as a protagonist in one story or as a supporting character in the other books, these characters will feel relatable. There were times that I felt like I was feeling their emotions. Such beautiful romances in all three books. I would click the buy button for this. Worth having.

The Winemakers is a great historical romance box set of Book 1-3 in The Winemakers series…its includes The True Purpose of Vines, The Taste of Light and The Truth About Myths. If you are a lover of historical romance with love, banter, secrets, history and taken to beautiful places you can only imagine I highly recommend this series of books….and this is perfect in a box set!
Book 1 – The True Purpose of Vines This is a historical romance set in Portugal 1870’s. This is a beautifully written story, and I enjoyed being swept up in time. Julia is a strong and passionate woman that is all about keeping her vineyard and producing the best wine, but is also in debt due to her late husband. Griffin, who is all about regaining his family’s status, makes an agreement to get payment from Julia. As the story unfolds, so does the romance between Griffin and Julia. This is a great story of romance, secrets, history and cultural differences….the author did an amazing job with such wonderful details.
Book 2 – The Taste of Light I would recommend reading book 1 first. I can say that while I did enjoy book 1, I loved this book, being 2nd in the series with my every being.
Can I say……I was not happy with Pedro in book 1….not what so ever and never ever in a million years I would end up liking him so much in book 2…..I know get it…..and my heart…. Pedro is haunted by his past and wants love. Pedro truly believe he once had love, but choice in the matter…it did not happen. A chance encounter and ending up on the run, he meets Anne.
Anne… I loved Anne so much and just her being so kind….she is helping her brother and also travels to help the other neighbors understand and learn how to take care of their vines..and an encounter she meets Pedro…and Pedro at first did not take to kind to Anne…and both end up on the run. Why are they running?
Will Pedro and Anne connect and Pedro find what he is looking for? Chemistry, banter, intensity for sure…..I Loved Pedro and Anne in this story so much!
Book 3 – The Truth About Myths Very well written and I can picture beautiful place in Portugal and Spain….The Truth About Myths is book 3 in The Winemakers series. The author is fabulous and her storytelling is amazing. The romance, tension and banter between Henrique and Isabel…I loved it.
When Isabel is asked by the King to go to Spain to help out….it is her duty to do so. What is not anticipated is who is accompanying her….none other than Henrique….which at first was a bit trying. Knowing how proper and set in her ways Isabel is….will she be able to let a bit go and see another side to Henrique and will he fight for her?

This story is about many things, Cody the Code Dog, a town with secrets, a monster in the woods, kids trying to decipher the code and discover the secrets all the while trying to be kids, homework, chores and creating a band. I’m tired just thinking about their adventures!
The beginning half of this story seems to be all over the place. The three friends, Beth, Timmy and Arthur, are all concerned about their own thing. Beth wants to finish the school project, Timmy wonders about the monster in the woods and Arthur wants to just keep writing songs for their band. They don’t really seem to get along as friends do. But then their teacher needs their help in finding the missing time capsule. Luckily there’s a map with clues, however, those clues don’t really make much sense and there are others looking for the capsule, as well.
Cute story with a cute dog and some very interesting characters. While I do love most of this author’s books, this one wasn’t my favorite. Will continue to read the stories from her and look forward to more.

These Oscar and Emmy books are always so cute and informative about animals. This one specifically deals with fostering. Charlie and Abby learn so much through fostering three tiny kittens. These books always take real life pet and animal problems and bring them to an age appropriate level for children. Over crowding at animal shelters is a very real, very common thing. This touches on it gently and helps teach about what it’s like to take in kittens, but then to adopt them out so that you can take on more to help with the over population of cats.
This is a cute rhyming story that explains the responsibility of owning a dog. Friends Lora and CJ both want a puppy. Their parents tell them they must learn the ways of dog owning. Puppies are serious lifelong responsibilities. Dogs of any age require care, love and understanding.
This is a cute quick read with a great start to dog ownership.

This story is an easy and cute read for young children. Dylan and his little sister are off to the park to learn and practice baseball with the neighborhood kids. Little did they know that there would be a problem, an adventure to be had, a mystery to solve. Good thing Dylan and Emily have a detective kit and like solving mysteries.
This story was fun to read. I imagine reading it to 1st grade aged children. I love the classroom prompts at the end of the story. This story is fun and educational. My favorite type of children’s books.

Dallas is thrilled that June has come back into his life, but can he be the knight she requires or will the past be too much for her to forgive. Setting June up with his friend to invest is the best scenario but does she have the feelings I buried ten years ago when she left.
This is the third book in this series and can be read as a stand alone story. Like the others this is full of twists and turns which is a slow burn at the beginning but becomes epic by the end and will have you scrambling to finish to see what happens. The character of June was brilliant and sassy, full of what she wanted and was not afraid to go after it. Dallas is a fiery Alpha make character which with June make an explosive couple. The secondary characters add an air of twist which is great to read.
I can’t wait to read books for this author.

Wow, I want book two now. This book was a ride of emotions with so many twists and turns. The characters draw you right into the story and grip your heart. Aeris, our main female character, is a rule breaker at heart even though she really doesn’t mean to be, She finds herself in the human world often. Just usually watching people. She isn’t supposed to cross the barrier into the human world but she just can’t help herself. She uses glamor so no one can see her until one day when detective Callum is able to see her and the story continues from there.
I was so intrigued with this story. I could have kept reading for hours more. I really really need the next book.

I am loving this series! This is the second book in the Life is Hell series, and I cannot wait to read more. This one is just as good as the first, if not better. I love when a series takes a side character from the first book, and gives them their own story. We still see characters from the original, but you get to experience more. There are just as many supernatural elements in this one as the first. If that’s your thing, then you will love this book!

Emma is working her way to becoming a Sommelier but with school, work and an Ex- boyfriend she would rather forget she has no time for a relationship. Hook ups are fine but need to leave by the morning as she does not want to get her heart broken again, but when a handsome, dashing man walks into the bar she may have to rethink her whole dating life.
Liam is a player, he gives them a night and then by the end of it they need to leave. His notion on marriage and relationships is that they are not worth the energy as his only reference is his parents marriage which is non-existent, but when he meets Emma she crawls under his skin and he is doing couplie things he would not imagine him doing. So when he offers Emma an agreement can both of them come away with their hearts in tacked, you will have to read to find out.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it was brilliant flowing story. Emma was just the right amount of sass and wanting to be a wine waiter was a refreshing change to the normal career paths people go down. Liam is a confident, powerful man but in his interactions with Emma they are soft and kind, showing at times his vulnerability in his character.
The story is well developed and fast paced and the chemistry between the two characters is brilliant, the slow burn of the relationship makes it more appealing to keep reading to see if in the end their is a happy ending for the two of them. I could have done some serious damage to her ex-boyfriend but it all works out in the end lol.
Can’t wait to read more books from this author in the future.

This enemies to lovers has plenty of drama. June and Dallas also have plenty of chemistry and it oozes off the pages. June and Dallas have known each other for a while. Something went wrong over a decade ago and June swore never to work with the man again. However, due to an investor backing out of financing the business she is trying to start she is in a pinch. Dallas, ever the knight in shining armor, knows a guy in Argentina. Is it safe to take money from a stranger? Overall this series has been a good one to read and can all be read as standalones. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>
