Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy Book 8) by Jen Talty – Review by Jenni Bishop

Trouble's Wedding CaperTrouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy Book 8) by Jen Talty is another unique and wonderful story that is a second chance romance/mystery. I enjoy Jen’s books, they are always fun and exciting and hook me from the start and keep me engaged till the end. I just love Trouble who I am sure thinks he is human. He makes me laugh out loud at his antics and his clever mind. If only he could speak. Jen’s characters are always loveable and there are others I just wanted to smack. The plot is clever and wonderfully woven and the writing is told in several POV’s.

Annabel is sassy and independent and left despondent about relationships. She has finally come back home and soon finds herself in a situation that is dangerous and possibly illegal but she has Trouble to watch over her and lead the police in the right direction.

Don’t miss out on a this exciting story that I highly recommend.

Claimed (The Torzial Affair book 3)
By Via Mari

Claimed is the third and the last book in The Torzial series. To get the full effect of this series I would suggest that you start with book one Shattered, move on to book two Bound and finally Claimed. You will not regret reading this whole series and I have to say it’s kinda sad that its finished. This series just got better as the series went on and I have to say Claimed is my favourite book of the series, I don’t normally pick a favourite book in a series but this time I did. Via just seems to have such a passion in her writing and that comes through with the strengths we read in her characters. Thank you, Via, for such and awesome series and like I said before it’s kinda sad that this series has ended.

FEATHERS – A NOVEL BY KYLIE STEWART – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Feathers - A NovelFeathers – A Novel by Kylie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an absolute fairy tale! I adored this book! Feathers is written by Kylie Stewart and is a standalone, although I would love to hear the other girl’s stories (Hint Hint). Feathers follows a young Charlotte “Lottie” from the time that she was taken by her mother’s boyfriend and sold to ungodly men. There she goes through things that most people would never imagine to a young girl. Then she is sold one more time, to Mrs. Ames. Mrs. Ames was her savior. There she meets Mrs. Ames’ grandson, Hawk McLean. Hawk is 7 years older than Lottie. But for some strange reason, he is drawn to her. In the same token, Lottie is also drawn to him. Throughout the years, Lottie learns to heal and learns to take her life back. Hawk has his own past that he has to deal with and his uncertainty about Lottie. These two get incredibly close throughout the years even though Hawk leaves for his internship and then moves to open a business. But when Lottie is 22 everything falls into place for the both of them and let me tell you, fireworks happen! I love this author and every book that I have read from her is fantastic. This book in particular gives you those wonderful good feelings because these two deserve everything that they received and it would be heartbreaking if it was any different. The characters are wonderful and Lottie is such a strong girl, it kind of makes you proud. I can’t wait to read more from Kylie Stewart!

Feathers by Kylie Stewart gutted me on page one and had moments throughout the book that my heart just broke.

Charlotte hasn’t had the life of a typical fourteen year old girl when we meet her. She is finally somewhere she is safe and secure and that is not the only change to her life.

Hawk is the type of guy any mother would love to have their daughter bring home. He’s so honorable, but there is so much more to him.

I loved what the feathers represent for Charlotte and seeing them pop up from time to time set my heart a racing.

There are some pretty tough situations but if you can get past the discomfort then I think you will enjoy the book.

Trouble’s Wedding Caper is the eighth book in the Familiar Legacy series, this book is by Jen Talty. How this series got to eight books before I discovered it have no idea but now that I have found it I do plan on going back and starting from the beginning.

I loved Trouble! He was just an amazing cat and I hope to have a cat as cool as he is the next time I have one. Reading parts of the story from his prospective was great and I don’t think I have had the pleasure of that before.

Annabel and Ethan have quite the adventure with some assistance from Trouble. I loved their back story and how everything happened for a reason. And it had me guessing until the very end which isn’t always the case.

I throughly enjoyed this book.

Feathers - A NovelFeathers – A Novel by Kylie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feathers by Kylie Stewart is a book I absolutely could not put down. I read this book in just a few hours because I HAD to know what was going to happen next.

Charlotte Waters has experienced things no one should ever have to go through. She’s finally safe but vows to never trust another man. She does not expect Hawk McLean to see into her nor does she expect to forge a friendship with him. When Hawk first saw Charlotte, she was just a young teen but he couldn’t look away. He had a desire to know her unlike the other girls his grandmother saved. Charlotte can’t help how she feels about Hawk but he keeps leaving and she thinks it might be time to give up. Does Hawk realize his feelings for Charlotte or are they destined to stay the friends they became?

I absolutely loved this story. I didn’t know what to expect when I started it but I couldn’t put it down. Charlotte experienced so much pain and trauma but she came out the other side and built a life. I loved her resilience. Hawk was really trying to do what he thought was best. You could see his genuine care for Charlotte. This is definitely a five star read!

Feathers - A NovelFeathers – A Novel by Kylie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read the blurb for this book and passed it over several times before I cracked the binding. Yes, the beginning is dark and horrible and should not be over looked.

This story is a fast read. I read it in about 3 hours and when I looked at the page count, I was surprised to see that it is over 200 pages.

Told in dual POV over a 7 year time span, FEATHERS grabbed me from the very first page to the very last word. It is emotional and moving and light and hopeful – even in the darkness.

I think this is the first book I’ve read by this author and I will absolutely be picking up the novella mentioned at the end of this book.

While I’m not sure I would recommend to my younger cousins, I would recommend if you enjoy New Age/College stories.

Broken Sand DollarBroken Sand Dollar by J.D. Boudreaux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Broken Sand Dollar by J.D. Boudreaux is the third book in the Sand Dollar Series. I really recommend reading the first 2 books before reading this book. The story continues with Alex and his development and progress in life. I really like the story has not always followed the progress I thought it would take. The turns are great and very well done. Alex is a wonderful character whose kindness has brought wonderful relationships into his life. Each of these has helped him to grow as a person and all served a purpose in his life. I have really enjoyed this series and the realness of the relationships. The characters are not perfect and each has their own issues to overcome. I like how the author has handled the situations and made everything relatable. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

The Billionaire and the Therapist (Clean Billionaire Romance Reads Series Book 1) by Kim Koby – Review by Angela Hayes

The Billionaire and the Therapist (Clean Billionaire Romance Reads, #1)The Billionaire and the Therapist by Kim Koby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Billionaire and the Therapist is the first book in the Clean Billionaire Romance Reads series by Kim Koby. It is a sweet, clean, second chance romance that has some secrets, angst, and a little drama.
John Callahan lost his wife in a car accident a couple of years ago leaving him a single father to their daughter Catherine. Their loss has changed them both, especially Catherine who has gone from a happy, talkative child, to not speaking altogether- and John just doesn’t know how to reach her. When speech therapy is recommended, he isn’t convinced, but is willing to try anything if it means helping Catherine.
Natalie Ross is a Speech therapist who has had her life turned upside down by a traumatic event a few years earlier. She moved states and started over- but is still looking over her shoulder, stuck in the past and not really living. She’s exhausted by it all and all she really wants is to feel safe. When she’s offered the job of working exclusively with John’s daughter, she isn’t sure about working for an arrogant rich man- but when she hears Catherine’s story, Natalie wants to try to help her. As she starts working with Catherine, she becomes closer to John and he makes her feel safe. But what happens when her past threatens to destroy everything? And what kind of chance does a paper plate kind of girl really have with a silver spoon kind of guy? You will need to read the story to get all the intriguing details for yourself.
If you like a lovely, sweet, short and easy romantic story- then this is definitely the book for you!

Thank you, Ms. Koby!

The Devil’s Shadow is the fourth book in T. Birmingham’s Wild Beasts’ series AND you absolutely need to read the stories in order as there are so many threads that come from the previous books that give us this complex story of dark and light! You will wander in the dark and get frustrated like hell if you do not do so (I know some people say it doesn’t matter but…well, I do not agree! I have read most of her books and oh my goodness, the imagination that the writer has … she still keeps blowing my mind with how she can go from paranormal to wounded warriors … in one breath …
The Devil’s Shadow is the story of Ginny and Kieran and their journey towards each other and their destiny of being fated mates … but that is only the main thread of the story, there are so many other threads that get their answers though well, the writer does leave us with more questions and impatiently waiting for the next instalment! You will cry and laugh and your heart breaks and there are moments that touch your heart and leave you with hope … I cannot wait what the writer will bring us next!

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vortex by Kimberly Packard was an heart pounding, original fresh read, that had me flipping the pages.

My first read by this author, I jumped in without much research into the book, and I was pleasantly surprised. Richly detail and fast moving, I found myself falling more and more into this uniquely refreshing read. I will say that if you are a fan of the 90’s movie twister, then you will love this book, as it had some similar themes.

This book was truly an outstanding read. The writing is topshelf and the MC was solid, complex and well rounded. She really pushed this story and it fit in perfectly with the equally solid and complex plot. I loved the added mystery of her past and the heart stopping moments that surrounded the storm chasing. Attention to detail was another driving point, I swear I could hear the swirling storm as I was reading.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get captured by this heart clutching, emotional, pulse jumping read.

Happy Reading

Annie was my favorite character from the first book in this series so I was thrilled that this book centered around her. The revolutionary war has also been of huge interest to me so huge win there too!
One of my main problems with the first book was that the jump to different times was confusing me but for some reason the jumps to Germany and whatnot were easier to wrap my head around timeline-wise.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy #8) by Jen Talty was a fast pace, fun, entertaining read, that had me hooked.

My first read by this author and for this series, don’t be put off by the number, though this says book eight, it reads as a standalone. I fall right into this story and no point did I feel confused or felt like I was missing something. Nicely balanced and witty, I very much had a good time reading this unique book.

Right away I was pulled into this book, I’m not going to tell you how it opens cause I think it’s a nice little surprise and a fun treat. After that opening we meet Annabel, right away I liked her, and that doesn’t happen very often for me, to actually like a MC right out of the gate. She was fun, witty, and someone I could see wanting to be friends with. A very strong MC, Annabel carried this story, and really made up fro some of the weaker areas.

Overall this book, as I have said, is a super fin read, and you will get hooked right from that unique opening. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will have a time reading this quirky rom-com.

Dig Two Graves (Solomon Gray, #1)Dig Two Graves
By: Keith Nixon
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dig Two Graves (Detective Solomon Gray #1) by Keith Nixon was a heart pounding thriller that had me hooked.

My first read by this author and for this series. I have to say I was hooked right away, and I didn’t stop reading until the last page was flipped.

Richly detailed, and emotional, this book will take you on a raw heart clutching ride, from a murder mystery to our MC’s going through the memories of the days following and losing his son. Detective Solomon is a solid character and extremely well rounded and multi layered. Not a perfect person, the flaws make him relatable and realistic.

Having such a strong MC, mixed with an equally as strong and solid plot, you have the perfect storm of books. I was engrossed and absorbed into this book, and frankly I didn’t want it to end. Full of twist turns and misdirections, you will not be bored. This book holds your attention, there is no filler or lulls.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this book is worth your time and energy, and I swear you will not be able to put it down.

Coming Home: The Sequel to Flowers in December by Jane Suen – Review by Maura Harper

COMING HOME (Flowers in December, #2)COMING HOME by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jane Suen is one of those authors who doesn’t have a formula for how a story is written. I’ve read many of her stories, and each is different from the other – she writes with a poetic style that is ripe with metaphors and stylist visuals.

On 12/14/18 I lost my mother and as I read COMING HOME I wasn’t sure what to expect. This is the sequel to Flowers in December so I knew what the basic premise would be and I was a little worried that my heart would break a little more. This story did the opposite for me.

It’s a tale of healing and moving on. A beautiful telling of putting a life back together. It’s a lovely and quick Christmas story that I read and enjoyed in one sitting.

I recommend this story and this author.

  1. There Be Demons by M.K. Theodoratus is the first book in the Andor Demon Wars series. If you love YA novels then you should definitely give this book a go.
    This book has been centred around some pretty great characters. Britt I found to be really likeable and a great heroine for this story. It was easy to get behind her and want to know more.
    This book is obviously going to be part of a series as it was all about setting the scene of what is to come. That being said it still had a lot of action and adventure to it and has definitely left me excited for what is to come.
    This book appears to be the start of what is going to be a fantastic series and I can’t wait to see what else is to come!View all my reviews

Feathers: A Novel by Kylie Stewart is an amazing story with such a journey that has left a mark in my mind and my heart. Charlotte has endured so much in her life, so much pain, loneliness, due to her mothers boyfriend that sold her for drugs. A gang kept her for a year, treating her so horribly and finally she was sold and was able to escape the hell she endured. Being free Charlotte vowed and made a promise to herself to never love a man, and then Hawk comes into her life. They both find trusting each other easy, after both having issues and fears. As time goes by, the passion, the caring, and the trusting builds. But both being jaded, the questions will raise, can they overcome the past to lead to a beautiful future together.

This 5 star read was intense, emotional, dark, and one that I SIMPLY LOVED and did not want to put it down. The journey both take was real and so raw. From the dark subjects, to the passion, to the steamy scenes, I just wanted to stay lost in the land of Hawk and Charlotte. Kylie Stewart really gave us a read that will leave its mark. The characters, the meaning of feathers, the story line simply are SUPERB! I will be waiting and watching for WINGS!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Cold Dark Place is the first book in the Cold Justice series by author Toni Anderson. Mallory Rooney is a newbie Special Agent with the FBI and the twin sister to a kidnapping victim missing since they were nine years old. Mallory has made it her mission to find out what happened to her sister eighteen years ago and she won’t stop until she finds out who took Payton and why. Along the way Mallory finds herself searching for a vigilante who has been murdering suspected kidnappers and pedophiles before the FBI can uphold justice. The search leads to Mallory realizing that maybe there is more going on behind the scenes than she ever expected. Now Mallory must find out what is going on, who is behind the vigilante and when will her sister’s abductor strike again?
Wow! I can’t believe I have never read this author! I am a huge fan of romantic suspense and psychological thrillers and Ms. Anderson certainly gave me an excellent one! From the first page this book had my attention, the author did a great job peaking my interest and holding my attention. This story had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. At one point I thought I had the killer figured out, but no, the author pulled a quick one. There were several twists and turns within the story I couldn’t tell what was going to happen next, truly a mark of a good author and I look forward to ready the rest of this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is unlike any I have read before. It takes the angel/demon mythology to a whole new level and though it did take me some time to get used to the terminology, the story gripped from the beginning. It is very easy to underestimate a YA story and think of it as challengingly written but I personally love the genre so when a book like this comes along and changes that perception I am very happy. As I read this story I found myself pulled in by the imagery of the surroundings and the build up of the characters at the same time. This is the first in a series and though I may need a break to reset my brain, I am excited to tackle the next one. I will just have to remember my demonology when I do.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trouble’s Wedding Caper is book eight in the Familiar Legacy by Jen Talty. A first read for me from this author, and although I am coming into the series rather late, I feel it is better late than never. Stories of finding love the hard way are some of my favourite, and I haven’t come across one that didn’t warm my heart. I felt good things about this story and  I was not disappointed.

Annabel goes home with a broken heart, and ends up with a unit full of treasure. But even that has trouble attached. She is a train wreck. Along comes Ethan and a black cat, and total chaos reigns supreme in her life. She falls hard for him and  her run of bad luck seems to bed relentless. She doesn’t want to risk giving her heart only to have it broken again. This tale is energetic, suspenseful, intriguing and funny. Trouble was the cherry on top of a fantastic story. I connected well with the characters and was always eager to turn the page and learn more. A brilliant tale that made me anxious to go back to the beginning and start from book one. 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Devil’s Shadow was a great 5 star read and book four in the Wild Beasts series..
I was once again pulled right in by the author and couldn’t stop until I was done. This was a great storyline along with being a paranormal/mystery read.

Why do we desire, above all other things, that which has the greater power to destroy us?

This is Ginny and Kieran’s story. I quickly fell for these two, I really liked Ginny’s strength. These two were definitely meant for each other. The connection between them was great. There are several twist and turns that will pull you in and add more to this great story. Will they solve the mystery behind the abductions?

My emotions were all over the place. All of the other secondary characters added a great element to the story and were very unique. We get suspense, action, mystery and so much more. You can read this as a standalone but I highly suggest reading from the beginning, this will help you connect better with the characters. .

I absolutely adore anything with Gwyn McNamee’s name on it, so I am naturally biased I will confess that up front and center, but this is such a fantastic steal you just have to grab this, I know I did and I got a few extra for some fun gifts for a few gal friends. I have read Dick Slip and Beaver Blunder and laughed so hard I nearly peed myself (no shame I have had c-section LOL) they were that good, so when I went to grab the third and saw the box set well hell yes I will take three LOL! I included my reviews that I did post of the other two books. I will have to come back and update some more when I get through Nip Slip but I am sure it will be just as hilarious and fantastic! Can’t wait to see what will come next from the ever fabulous Gwyn McNamee! Happy reading!

DICK SLIP

“Double facepalm. This calls for two.”

This was such a lighthearted and hilarious novella. Obviously, the laughs start just by reading the title, so imagine how much fun can be had between the front cover and those magical words… The End. In fact, I will say the only downside to this story would have to be the length, simply because I had fallen in love with the characters so much I wanted more from them. It is a standalone so that is another positive, but if you enjoy this book I would also recommend checking out the rest of Gwyn McNamee’s novels as they are all great.

Rafe was there for the charity, this was supposed to be a fun basketball game between him and a bunch of other celebrities. Unfortunately for him, fate had a different idea in mind. One little wardrobe malfunction and suddenly he is in the middle of fighting for his career and having to show up at his boss’s office to answer for this incident.

“Wide-eyes and gaping mouths- that’s all I see from the 15,000 plus spectators who came here to enjoy a basketball game played by celebrities.”

“And instead of playing a friendly game of basketball and raising money for the sick kids, I just shot down my career with a scud missile.”

Then the next twist of fate lies in the hands of his new boss, Andy Mason, who turns out to be a woman, a hot and kind woman. The kind that can lead to troubles. It is literally only the second day on the job for Andy, and not only is she dealing with a major crisis, but she has to prove her worth for the job she was hired to do.

“On my second day? For the love of all that is holy, why does it have to happen now?”

“Sexy and formidable. She has me almost believing my job is as safe as she says it is.”

“She is sex on a stick. There’s just something about a powerful woman who takes control and knows what she wants that does something to me, and Andy is precisely all those things.”

Turns out Andy thinks that Rafe is pretty attractive too. Only problem is it can never happen right? Because she is the boss, and the boss can’t date the employees.

“Yeah, being the boss sucks sometimes, because that can never happen. Nothing ever can.”

Will she risk everything to save his job? Will they be able to address their feelings for each other, or are they destined to be twisted by fate just a little bit more?

BEAVER BLUNDER

“Just keep your legs crossed, Madeline. Keep ‘em crossed.”

Beaver Blunder is the third novel in Gwyn McNamee’s Scandalous Slip series. I have laughed till I had tears running down my face. I have yelled at my kindle, and the characters as if they were right in front of me. This novel, as well as the other two before it, completely overtook my life for a few hours and I loved every minute of it.

“Of all days to run out of clean underwear… It’s only the biggest trial of my career.”

The concept is we are humans. And in being humans we make mistakes. The most brutal ones often come with some hilarious moments and memories that will forever be with us, or haunt us, depending on how you look at it lol. In Beaver Blunder we meet Madeline. On the most important day of her career she just happens to be fresh out of clean underwear. No problem as long as she has a little grace right? Yeah, she doesn’t have any grace, what-so-ever!

“Slipped.”

“Fell.”

“Skirt up.”

“No underwear.”

“Vagina.”

“So embarrassing.”

Madeline never thought she would see Owen Grant, a fellow attorney who just happens to witness her most embarrassing moment of her life. Problem is, Owen is thinking about the beautiful Madeline long after that initial meet up. Owen has a personality that promises to set off Madeline in all the ways that would normally turn her off of a guy. But fate has different plans for the two. It is a hot and steamy, and HILARIOUS, story of how they get from this one embarrassing moment to the very end of the book. I can’t wait to see what is to come next from Gwyn!

“Lord Almighty, it’s positively sinful.”
