Not So Wrong (Love Grows series, Book 2)Not So Wrong by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I have been really looking forward to reading the second book in this series as I was especially excited to read Melanie and Spencer’s story! And as expected I was not disappointed at all! I fell in love with the two main characters straight away. There was just something about them both that drew me in straight away – Melanie was a strong, independent woman and Spencer – well he was just so hot I fell in love with him as soon as I met him – but as well as that there was a slight vulnerability about him that I really liked. There was just something so special about the two of them that together they just seemed to work, they both had their own secrets to deal with and I just knew that together they would be able to help each other out.
The author has written a really beautiful tale, the pace and flow of the story is excellent and my interest was kept from beginning to end. I absolutely loved Not So Wrong and I cannot wait to read more from Ms Regent again in the future!

This series is addicting! The books are filled with danger, intrigue, magic and love. These fantasy filled pages will keep you on the edge of your seat. The concept of magical desserts is so delicious and original. Claire Luana has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her books are exceptionally well written. These stories will immediately pull you in and immerse you in the unique world of the Confectioners’ Guild.

I absolutely loved this collection of stories!! They were so magical with a good amount of suspense and along with it some fantastic plot twists and turns. I really liked the characters and I loved reading about them. One of the things I loved about this series is how unique it was and I loved the author’s writing. The stories were written it in such an engaging way that I couldn’t put them down. Having read books by her previously I know that her world building is usually good but I thought that it was excellent in this series. I really liked Wren and I actually liked that I had to work hard to get to understand her, I found her character really intriguing but there was something about her that I just instantly liked. She was a fantastic, strong heroine to read about. I think I would definitely like one of the deserts that she bakes!! All of the characters in the stories were great to read about.
I 100% recommend this series – it was a fantastic read!

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks is the second book in the Shattered Hearts Series and a book I couldn’t put down till the end. This is the continuation of Jasmine and Angel’s story. I do recommend reading the first book if you haven’t already. Both feel broken and are dealing with demons.There is definitely attraction and chemistry between them. Will they learn to trust each other? Can they have a future together? I found myself at times on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. Find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Shameless (The Orphan Train Saga Book 2)Shameless by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truthfully, with the first book, I was very unsure what I would find in its pages. I knew I was intrigued but was afraid I might be bored. The joke was definitely on me – I was astounded.

It’s follow up continues to hold the bar at a very high level. The characters continued to draw me in to the historical fiction in its pages and transport me back to a very different time.

Burton does a masterful job creating a universe and cast of characters that are intriguing, relatable, and captivating. The story is vivid and certainly stands the test of time. Absolutely loved it.

I loved everything about this book. My only question is how, as a lover of Terry Pratchett, have I NEVER stumbled across Chappell before now? Her wit oozes from each page and happily finds a home in your heart regardless of your age (good thing since I’m most definitely not in the YA group!). Sharp, poignant, fantastically tongue-in-cheek, this book had me enraptured from beginning to end. What a wonderful addition to every library. You must pick it up – NOW!!

Just don’t read these books on an empty stomach because the food and sweets discussed in this book sound down right sinful and I would love to try them all!
The characters in these books are another thing I should mention. They were fantastic. Even with the magic elements incorporated in them, they were relatable and they were extremely well liked. I couldn’t wait to see where their stories were going and I was sad when the end finally came around. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this box set to a friend!

Discovery
( The Orphan Train Saga
Book 1)
By Sherry A. Burton
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a historical Fiction.This is a full novel, worthy of your reading.

Cindy Moore is a school teacher, who has the summer off. She has decided to stop paying monthly charges, for her grandmother’s storage unit. She plans to sell some of the items, in hopes of getting some of the money she has paid. During her sorting of said boxes, she finds some interesting journals. Written by her grandmother. That is all I’m saying about the journey that takes place in this fantastic story.

First let me say, I really do not like historical fictions. But this one involves children. There for it became a must read. The book Sherry A. Burton has written, was absolutely heartbreaking, loveable, and had many surprises. The many characters in this book, all have their own story to tell. I enjoyed reading this story, tears and all. My recommendation, if you read this book, is have tissue, wine and chocolate available. You can bet I will be looking forward to reading book 2! Well done Sherry A. Burton!

Discovery was an intriguing and fantastic 5 star read.
This was the first time that I have heard about the Orphan Train and once I started reading I couldn’t put it down.

We switch between past and present throughout the story. Cindy decides to finally go through her grandmother’s storage locker. As she is going through things she is discovering some secrets that intrigue her and makes her want to learn more about her grandmother’s history.

As the journals are read we get pulled into so many different things. My emotions were all over the place, how could children be treated this way. I don’t want to say too much more and give anything away. There is so much more I would like to see and all of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Sherry pulls you right in with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started on this great historical read.

This is an amazing, heart-tugging story that really draws the reader into the character’s lives. Between her past and his broken heart, the reader is left turning pages as fast as they can to get more of the story. Miss Barrett has created a world of small town life with vivid, delightful people who make the reader want to visit Cinnamon Bay. The struggles that are faced by Brian and his family, as well as Tess, are realistic and heartbreaking.
I fell in love with the characters in this book and am left wanting to know more and more about the characters and the worlds that Miss Barrett has and will create in the future.

I was so looking forward to this book. I met these two in the first book in this series and knew this was their story and couldn’t wait to dive in.

Spencer and Melanie won me over immediately and the world around me did not exist while I read this book. It brought out all the feels and I’m not sure why but books that have to do with singers or music in general don’t normally catch my attention but this one sold me completely. I sincerely loved every word and that is thanks to this author’s beautiful writing style and her way with words.

“There are so many regrettable things I’ve done in my life. But it turns out, there was nothing so wrong that it couldn’t be made right. All it took was the truth.”

That statement totally touched me and I’m not sure why but I dont think Ive ever had it put like that and I love it!

I can not wait for Audrey’s story and I also can not wait to read these books again..I can not recommend enough!!

LOVED IT!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not So Wrong by Renee Regent is the second book in the Love Grows series. This is a standalone contemporary romance with great characters.
Renee Regent is an author that really knows how to write a great book. She weaves such a tale with strong and engaging characters. This is definitely something that is prevalent throughout this book. Melanie and Spencer were brilliant together. Their chemistry was instant. The whole way through the book I was willing them to find a way to make things work.
I thought the overall story was good. It was well paced and the author did a great job of developing the arc. It was an easy book to fall into and one that I found I had read quicker than I thought – it was definitely over too soon! I can certainly say that this author is one that, although I have only discovered recently, I enjoy reading every single time.

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks. This is the second book in this series and its amazing. Fair warning, It’s not for the faint of heart. Its the continuation of Jasmine and Angel’s story. This book is better than story 1 because you get more in to the emotional side. Jasmine is becoming a stronger women in this book and Angel just wants to help her heal from the past. The horrible event that happened to her is still causing her pain but she is trying to heal and move on. Angel is trying to get over the guilt of feeling like he should have done more to save her from the attack. We are introduced to another couple in this book that I hope to read more about; Chase & Kris. They seem super fun! I just can’t wait for the next book to see how Jasmine & Angel have grown as a couple.

I love these 2 main characters and the secondary ones as well, but Angel and Jasmine are kind of my favorite right now. They’ve been through so much apart and now they are trying to navigate how to be a couple without unloading all their baggage onto the other for fear of setbacks or scaring off the other.
Lots of things happen in this book and it had me turning pages so fast to read all the words.
Great read can’t wait to see what happens with the next book with this group.

I LOVED this book!! After reading book 1 in the series I couldn’t wait to read more from this author, I still don’t know how I’ve missed her books before and I was not disappointed by book 2 whatsoever! This was a brilliant read, full of intrigue, great characters with off the charts chemistry and a great storyline! I loved Connor and Rika; they had an unusual meeting which I actually really liked. The on screen chemistry was bubbling and I was really excited to see if that would carry over once they met! It’s possible that I am a little bit in love with Connor!! I thought he was very swoon-worthy!! I really liked Rika too I thought that she was a great female lead! I was definitely rooting for these two the whole way through the story!
A fantastic second book in this series – I can’t wait for more!!

I have been really looking forward to this book – I have loved this series so far and I have to say Ms Mellett has definitely saved the best until last! I was completely captivated by this story from beginning to end, I honestly could not put my kindle down at all. I have to say I am usually consumed by this authors stories but there was just something about this one, she really did take the story and characters to another level. She definitely brought the series full circle with this final instalment.
Truck and Allie’s story was so beautifully written, the emotional moments of the story really grabbed me at times. It’s been a while since a book had me in tears but this one did all within a few pages! I was so into what I was reading, I could feel everything to characters did and I think that’s definitely what had me so emotional!
Truck Stopped was an amazing ending to this series and a story I cannot recommend enough. It could be read as a standalone but I would 100% recommend the series as a whole!
As always I look forward to seeing what Ms Mellett comes out with in the future.

September Breeze, A Cinnamon Bay Romance Book 2, by Nikki Lynn Barrett. This is not the first time that I have read books by this author. I have truly loved reading her books. This book will tug at your heart strings. I loved the strength that Tess had after everything that she went through. She was afraid to open her heart again but how could you not fall head over heels in love with Tatum, Alice and especially Brian. I think one of the best parts was reading the interaction between Tess and the girls. This was a sweet romance but with a powerful story. I absolutely fell in love with Cinnamon Bay and the Taylors.

A great read about determination. Joe hasn’t let anyone into his life lately due to his mysterious and dark past. He sees Gwen at a party and that all changes. He wants her but she is closed off and cold towards him. Can he break down her barriers and win her heart?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Joe determined to get what he wants but caring underneath or Gwen standing up for herself but vulnerable underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the cautious Heath or the supportive Gabbi
I loved the visual detusl throughout the novel like with the scenes with the party full of life and people and colour and sights and sounds so vivid it’s as if you’re actually there.
I liked the mystery with their pasts with little details revealed slowly to keep you reading to find out what they did. I liked their worries of trying to put the past behind them was powerful and emotive but sometimes had repetition which could be reduced. The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in chapter titles. The only issue I would raise is that these first person narratives often felt like they went off tangent into thoughts and were hard to follow. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars

Into Pieces (Shattered Hearts Series Book 2) by Nicole Banks continues from book 1 and I must say I enjoyed this part of the story than the first. It is well written and it is about real life problems and the angst of love. It is a story where all your emotions are out on display right along with the characters. The characters are more developed and you could feel that Nicole really put her emotions in them as well. This heart wrenching, soul searing and yet beautiful story will leave you wanting more. It also features our next couple in the romance department and it will be just as interesting read I am sure as this one was.

Jasmine and Angel and finally got their shit together and decided to work as a couple but as we all know falling in love and nothing is ever a walk in the park. They still have a lot of work to do on themselves and as we know taking a good hard look at yourself in the mirror is never a pleasant thing. Just when Jas thought her life was safe the horrors of her past are once again front and centre and taking its hold of her and threatening everyone she loves and her own sanity.

I look forward to reading Chases’ and Kris’ story next, I just know it will blow us away.

The Confectioners Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series
By Claire Luana

The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1)
The Confectioner’s Guild by Claire Luana is the first book in the Confectioner Chronicles series. I have to say I loved the prequel and this book is written just as well. The writing style of this author is quite enjoyable. The series is aimed at the YA readers but can be enjoyed by us adults as well. The author has made the characters in this book quite enjoyable and its was a pleasure to have read this book and I do look forward for more instalments. In this book we have mystery, magic and cooking. Not your normal mixture in a book but it works well. So, grab yourself a copy of the book and have an enjoyable time in getting to know not only the characters but the authors wonderful way of telling a story.

The Confectioner’s Coup
The Confectioners Coup is the second book in the Confectioner Chronicles series by Claire Luana. If you enjoyed the first book, then this book will not disappoint you at all. Get yourself ready to meet new characters which you will either like or dislike, but they help make this book enjoyable. I will say this book contains so much sadness and may take you on a roller coaster of emotions. But on saying that it has a few twists and turns that you want to keep turning the page. Book one is my favorite so far in this series, but I am looking forward to book three and a nicer ending.

The Confectioner’s Truth
The Confectioner’s Truth is the third and final book this series. Please don’t start with book three I wouldn’t recommend them read a standalone. We have the pleasure of meeting some new characters in this book, each one I feel enhances the storyline. Wren went through some time in self-doubt and tries to learn from mistakes she has made. Will she be able to learn and not make the same mistakes again? The only thing I did question was why so many couples, but all in all I enjoyed the book. The thing I liked about this series is I found most of the characters to have their own strengths, I could be wrong but that’s my personal opinion! I really liked how Claire just kept building up this series, sometimes I find the last book in a series to be disappointing, but not with this book. The Confectioner’s Truth has ended this series perfectly. I would also recommend anyone and everyone to read this series, you won’t be disappointed.

The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella
The Confectioner’s Exile is the prequel in the Confectioners Chronicles series by Claire Luana. This novella you find will be a nice quick read and you will find it gives the background of Hale and when he joined the guild. Yes, this novella is short, but you will still find twists and turns, love and some adventure. I did enjoy the novella and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.

Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1) by Sherry A. Burton is a five star novel. I cannot wait to start the next book in the series. I absolutely love historical fiction and this novel does not disappoint. Years ago, I read a different historical fiction novel on the orphan trains and then did my own research because it was fascinating to me that they loaded up the orphans and started sending them out west. Many children’s hearts were broken and mine broke for them too. From the research I had done years ago, this novel seemed very historically accurate. This story depicts the life of a granddaughter trying to figure out her grandmother’s estate and finding so much more into her grandmother’s history than she ever could have imagined. Did I say already that I can’t wait to start the next one in the series because it is true!

This story really has something for everyone: Love, mystery, drama, and past/present stories. My absolute favorite part of this book is how the stories in the past and the present intertwine with each other without becoming confusing. The story from the past was an important part of the present story.

My favorite character in the story was Liz. I didn’t think it would be. However, I feel that she grew and learned throughout the book. I particularly liked the ending of this story. I feel that Linda Bennett Pennell did a great job of wrapping up both storylines.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

September Breeze was a great 5 star read and book 2 in the Cinnamon Bay series.

Tess arrives in Cinnamon Bay and finds that she doesn’t have a place to stay during her short stay in town. She is a songwriter hired to write songs for a movie that is filming in the area. When someone overhears her conversation she is given an ad looking for a nanny, she decides to go to the house out of curiosity.

Tess ends up meeting Brian and his girls and they love her. She gets the job and starts to grow very close to all three of them very quickly. Tess tells them that she will only be there temporarily, when she finds out what happened to Brian’s wife she starts to understand the girls better. When Brian gets some news that could change things for him, Tess steps in and offers to help him.

Brian and Tess start to have feelings for each other, but she can’t stay no matter what her heart is saying. She can’t stay in one spot too long or he will find her. He continues to call her just to let her know he hasn’t forgotten about her. When she gets a call from home she rushes back, will she return to Brian and the girls or will she move on once again?

Overall I really loved the story and all of the characters, even the three nosy matchmaker ladies that brought them together. The way that Tess connected with Brian and her girls was great. The author does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing and I couldn’t stop reading until I was done. My emotions were all over the place. I look forward to reading more from this series and author. This is going in my must reads for 2019. 1-click and get started on this great series today.

The FloodThe Flood
By: Meghan O’Flynn
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn was a dark twisted read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something not only well written, but twisted, dark and trilling. I was not disappointed. This book starts out dark, and stays that way. It keeps pulling you more and more into its cold twisted hold of horror; that not only keeps you guessing, but will have you wondering, what you would do, in that same situation. Chills, just chills. There’s just something about the whole thing, that will get you right in the darkness of your soul. I’ve seem movies like this, but I have to say, this version has been one of the best so far.

This book is crazy good, and I’m still consumed about how everything when down. How as you go back, you start making connections, start seeing the easter eggs that you missed. This psychological thriller will have you second guessing every character, every word, every decision, and it will have you trying not to root for the MC, while secretly rooting for her to survive.

Overall this read is not only worth it, this book will mess with your head, have you wondering about human nature, and of course, as I have said, have you wondering what you would do. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will get lost in the darkness and suspense that is this gem of a book.

Happy Reading

Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel by Linda Bennett Pennell. I loved this book.I started it at 8:30 pm and stayed up until 2am to finish. It hooks you from the beginning and doesn’t let you go til the end. Its 2 stories actually. It starts in Lake City, Florida in the 1930s when Al Capone checks into the Blanche Hotel for an extended amount of time. The following night a guy named Jack Blevins sees a body being dumped which is a prequel for a very violent summer. The dirty county politics & KKK start killing people left and right. As the body count rises someone is making plans to fill those voids if they don’t all die! Enter Liz Reams in 2011 who is a studying the history of American Crime and has moved across the continent to follow a man. Once she moves she realizes her family and friends were probably right and he’s not the man for her so she immerses herself in her studies. Mystery is all over the fact that Al Capone checked into a little hotel in the middle of nowhere. Why did he pick that hotel in that city. Was he behind the high body count that summer? What Liz finds out will curl your toes and keep you turning the pages way into the night! She is changed forever and if you read this book you will be too! Its an amazing book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioner Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series by Claire Luana is a fun series to read. I recommend reading them in order because the series is in chronological order.
The first book in the series The Confectioner’s Guild starts the series. This book is full of mystery, magic, and cooking. Wren is an amazing cook and soon finds herself in the Confectioner’s Guild. Here she learns more about herself and that she has special magical powers. After the death of the head of the guild after eating her cupcake she learns more about not only herself but this guild that she has been brought into. The characters are well written and the story drew me in from the beginning. Not only is Wren a great character but there are also many others.
The second book is The Confectioner’s Coup continues this series. The story continues for Wren and things are not looking good for her and others in the guild. Guild members are going missing and the King is out of control. I have enjoyed this as well as the first book and the novella. The writing is well written and entertaining. This is a twist and turn thriller that at times kept me on the edge of my seat.
The Confectioner’s Truth is the third book. The story continues with Wren and the members of the guild. There is a new ruler who is beyond bad. He rules like a madman and things are not stable for anyone. I recommend reading the other books in the series. The characters have grown and matured through the course of the series. I enjoy Wren because she is not cocky or self-centered. She is unsure of herself and does not always make the best decisions. She is rash at times and at other times she is centered and in total control. These traits make her easy to relate. There are many past characters who are back and some new ones as well.
The Confectioner’s Exile by Claire Luana is a prequel novella to The Confectioner Chronicles. This is the backstory of Hale Firena and his life. He has always had everything he could possibly want but his life changes drastically. He must learn how to survive without relying on others. I really enjoyed this prequel and read it before I read book 1. The writing is great and the action was also good. After reading this novella I was even more excited to read the series.
