My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This might just be my favorite book so far by this author. Great illustrations, great rhyming storyline,and as always a great lesson within. This time, about kindness. There’s also questions at the end that help your child openly chat about the story/lesson. The characters go around helping their friends with various things and learning how fulfilling it is to help others

The Better Man (A Silver Buckle Romance Series) by Laurie Lewis – Review by Amber Howard

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

Wow. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect this story was going to be like, but it turned out to be one of the best romance stories I’ve read. The emotional turmoil the characters faced was spot on. You could feel the hurt from the past. You could also feel the joy. There were lots of life lessons imbedded as well. This is a great read for romance lovers but also for anyone grieving over a loss in any form. For those who have hit rock bottom and climbed back up. For those who have fought their demons and won. For those who struggle to find their worth. For those who simply want to be seen. There is something in here for everyone. Including forgiveness and Gods love.

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Megan Conley

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in Valkyrie’s Life is Hell series and it is superb! I was hooked from the first page and I literally could not put it down. I finished this book in a day…maybe a day and a half because ya know…responsibilities and all. I fell in love with all of the characters in this book and just how they interacted with each other and evolved was *chef’s kiss*. The plot of No Rest for the Wicked is original and very well-done and so seamless. This is a very fast-paced book that you are going to have a very hard time putting down once you pick it up so go ahead and cancel your plans for the day or night…whatever. I cannot wait for this series to continue and see what Valkyrie has in store for the other characters!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is another fantastic addition to the Cray’s Adventure series. In this book, Fay the Turtle has to make her way to warmer waters for the winter and along the way spreads kindness by helping out her fellow creatures. I love the sing-songy nature that Rhymes writes in. It gives the story such a nice flow and rhythm to read out loud in that children love. The lessons that kids will get from this book (and all of the others) are lifelong. The illustrations are fabulous, brilliant, and so vibrant that they will capture the attention of children and adults alike. I’m also a huge fan of the discussion points at the end of the books. This is a great opportunity for teachers and parents to look for comprehension and understanding from their littles. I love this series and can’t wait for the next one!

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series) by Alicia Street – Review by Kerry Carr

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series Book 9)Make Me Burn by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 9th book in the North Forks series. Even though it is part of a series this can be read as a standalone. This is a steamy read. it is an enemies to lovers, best friends sister, forbidden romance. There is steak, angst, passion, unresolved issues and chemistry between our main characters that just sizzle off the page.
This is Logan and Jinx’s story.
Logan is a successful businessman. He grew up in North Forks with his best mate Victor and even though there way something between him and Victors sister Jinx Logan never crossed the link. His best friends sister is off limits.
Fast forward and after Victor and Logan’s friendships falls apart and Logan crosses paths with Jinx again, does he take this chance to get the woman he’s always wanted now her brother is gone and she is no longer off limits?

Jinx has always wanted Logan even when he was best friends with her brother. She was frustrated that he showed no interest in her. Now things have changed and with him now having no loyalty to her brother will this be the chance she has always wanted?
Will they get their chance at a HEA? Or will them being together cause old arguments to resurface and put pressure on them? What will Victor’s reaction be to finding out his once best friend and his little sister are getting closer? Even though Logan and Victor are no longer friends should Jinx have been left in the untouchable category?

This was an enjoyable read and was captivating that I read it in one sitting. This author does a great job of bringing the characters to life and making the reader feel like they are right there watching things unfold.

I absolutely love the Shattered Embrace Series and this second book, Managing Mischief. This book is a continuation of Ashton and Zach’s story and their Dom/sub relationship. The author does a great job connecting the reader to the characters as you join them on their journey as they navigate life. As with any relationship, there are ups and downs and good and bad but the author does an amazing job bringing everything together.

Before You Say I Do by Marina Hanna

Before You Say I Do is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that I absolutely loved reading. I’ve read several books by this author and this may be my favorite yet. Her characters are real, fully developed and relatable. They make the story fly off the pages and you find yourself not only invested in the characters but the story to. Her style of writing and attention to detail makes for an amazing story. This is Emma and Liam’s story. She’s only interested in one night stands, she doesn’t allow them to stay over. This all changes with him. Their one night turned into more and more . But what will happen when skeletons come out? Can these two have a relationship they both deserve ? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im already looking forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
I have read a lot of Laurie’s books and really enjoy them. She doesn’t just write one genre which I really like because you never know what you are going to get.
The Better Man is the second wonderful book in the Silver Buckle Brides series. Cross-Country Christmas drew me in and so did this one. It is a heart-warming romance that is full of lots of different emotions. Two souls who have had tragic pasts that have shaped them to who they are now.
This story has a little bit of everything with Cowboys, an ex who will do anything to get what he wants and a ranch. There is also tragedy and pain, angst and hurt, hope and forgiveness, family and friendship, treachery and love, healing and spirituality.
Jamie is trying hard to leave his past behind, but old doubts rise when an ex turns up. Laramee has her issues but returns home to save what is hers but when her ex turns up, he threatens it all. She literally crashed into his life, now it is not just a truce they have found they have found so much more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a first for me for this author. I read this book and absolutely fell in love. Meg’s and Ryan’s story was sweet and touching. The slow build up between these two was adorable. When they were young, Ryan found Meg his next door neighbor pretty annoying. They butted heads often, but found amusement from it. Years later Hank asks Meg to clean out his shed, and she can sell whatever she finds in her antique shop on consignment. Ryan who still lives there, is finding this quite annoying and bothersome. But as time goes on, he finds that he’s actually enjoying the time that she’s there. However, Meg finds a piece that shocks both of them. Do they continue with their budding romance, or do they leave and forget each other? I absolutely loved reading this book and Henry’s character made me laugh a few times. The writing and story were extremely well written and I enjoyed every single word. I hope to read more by this writer soon!

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England is a Travel guide to hidden gems and treasures for tourists. This is my first time reading work from this author. I often like to look at different tourist guilds to plan for trips that I hope to one day take. So seeing this I had to give it a try. I long to travel through Europe starting at England. When I was reading this, I found the author had a lot of good tidbits and information to give that I found helpful. I look forward to using it one day lmao hopefully soon! I especially loved to part on the budgeting and local deals. I love saving money when I can. I mean who doesn’t 😀.I would love to see what other work this author has. Like the Druid’s Brooch Series the author has created, it looks super interesting and that’s just from looking at the covers.

This was an incredible book, at first, I wasn’t sure but then this book really got a hold of me, and I couldn’t put it done once I stated. It is mostly a paranormal story with an interesting twist with some steampunk, urban fantasy, Fae, history, mystery, suspense, adventure, and so much more that this book will have you gripped from the beginning. Stevie is one amazing role and she ahs the character with some grit and spit if you cross her the wrong way, and it really made me enjoy reading this book even more. She was very relatable, she lived with the people and society and her story was weaved into the story that it really made me feel like I know them and lived with them. This book was very enjoyable, and I can’t wait to dive into the next one.

Family Ties Family Lies is a definite roller coaster of emotions, family drama, secrets with love and suspense. This story will stay with me for quite some time….there is a lot of feelings and emotions poured into this story….and it was such a great read.

What can happen when buried secrets are discovered…should they stay buried or learn the truth behind it all. This happens to Rose Webster….going home to help her mother as she battles an illness.. trying to pick up the pieces as they both re-discover old photos in the attic..reminiscing. When a mysterious photo is discovered by Rose, she asks her mom about it only to be brushed off. Rose, being the photojournalist that she is, cannot let this mysterious photo go and wants to discover what this is all about. As Rose navigates this she has to be sure does she really want to discover the whole truth behind it all….or leave it alone like her mother wishes.

I highly recommend this book…the secrets and turmoil…this book was hard to put down.

This book captivated me from the very first chapter which tells me to hunker down because I’m going to devour the entire thing in one sitting. It typically takes me awhile to find my groove but not this time. This is the first book in the Stevie Capot Chronicles, and the author has started out like a strike of lightning! I love that this story is told from multiple points of view as it makes me feel like I’m getting each character’s unique perspective. This is categorized as a Steampunk/Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and I must say that it somehow fits that to a T. The characters are incredibly well developed, and you can feel how much work has gone into building this amazing world. The flow of the story is one of my favorites though because some books tend to feel like chunks of a story instead of a continuous tale when multiple POV is involved. This author knew exactly how to make it flow from one person to another with such ease. I highly recommend picking this up if you are looking for an adventurous paranormal read for your weekend!

Jamie was also running, but in a different direction. When their paths crossed during a business deal, Laramee and Jamie have to make some very difficult decisions regarding their future paths.

I love this book and am so glad that I picked it up! It was difficult to read in parts but overall, the story put a smile on my face and lifted my spirits. I was not aware that this was part of a series and never felt like I was missing any ties to possible previous characters or situations.

I haven’t had a book affect me this deeply in an exceptionally long time! I hadn’t read anything by this author before, but the cover drew me in immediately. I knew I was going to read this book before I read the synopsis, and once I did, I dove right in. It was impossible to pull away from once I started, so I stayed up all night needing to know what was coming. The emotions hit you deeply and at times I shed quite a few tears. It doesn’t feel like I’m reading about Rose and her family, it feels like I’m experiencing it firsthand which is an incredible feat! The mystery that was woven into the story was always in the back of my mind even though I couldn’t figure out what was happening. It was well worth it and one of my top reads of the year so far. It doesn’t matter your go-to genre, I think everyone should give this one a chance. You won’t regret the journey it takes you on!

This is a well written story about second chances. Laramee fled her home years ago but now that her parents could lose that home, she is going home. What happens from here you don’t want to miss for sure. The past comes to the present for these characters. Two men want Laramee but which one is the better man? I enjoyed watching the growth of these characters and the chemistry is strong. I enjoyed what they brought to the story which made the story easy to read.
