Outcast (Her Royal Harem: Ember Book 1)Outcast by Catherine Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by this author, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I am absolutely blown away by the journey this story took me on! The cover drew me in, and once I learned it was a paranormal romance/reverse harem, I was diving in. I’m not ashamed to admit that I neglected ALL of my responsibilities for the day as I devoured this book! The flow of the story is marvelous even though it starts a little slow. It didn’t take long to pick up the pace and find my groove as Ember goes on an incredible adventure. The characters were absolute perfection. I can’t think of one thing I would change about them as they were diverse and relatable. There are a fair number of steamy scenes throughout, but the author doesn’t rely on them to make the book. The storyline will have you invested immediately! I know I’ve only read one book by this author so far, but I am definitely headed to pick up more of their work right now. If you love paranormal/shifter why-choose romances, don’t pass this one up!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very easy and descriptive read. I can see all the details in the book about what is going on. The illustrations are very well done. The illustrations and where they are in the book coincide together. I love how the sisters get along and how the older sister helps out the little sister. Overall, I would recommend this book for children who want to learn about a different culture and how important families are.

Outcast (Her Royal Harem: Ember Book 1)Outcast by Catherine Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging reverse harem paranormal romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Ember lives in a tranquil forest and is a healer who tends to wounded animals, shifters and hybrid outcasts. When a stealthy cheetah, a witty tiger, and a stalwart bear arrive on her doorstep she tends to their wounds, but she feels a connection with all of them. Then the charming Prince Caleb turns up determined to help Ember and once again she feels a connection, and soon the lines between duty and desire start to blur. Ember is happy living in solitude within the sanctuary she’s created but when she’s involved in a mystery which threatens this, she has to face painful truths about her own past. This really is a story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery and at the heart of the story is Ember who’s a likeable and relatable character. The setting and the characters were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, and I felt fully immersed in the paranormal world that the author has created. I look forward to book two in this series.

This book is very much a tale of two halves. The book started in a way that gave a very definite idea as to how things would play out. I settled in for one book and then the author completely changed the direction it was heading in. It was unexpected and made me enjoy it even more.
Enemies-to-lovers books are some of my favourites and I can definitely say this was a good one. It was engaging and really caught my attention. The character development was fantastic to read and I very much enjoyed getting to know them. This was a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This book is a great addition to the series and a brilliant way to teach kids how to correctly care for their pets. We are at that point in our family where we frequently get the question of “when are we getting a pet?” and this book is a brilliant first step in teaching our kids the responsibility involved with it.
Beyond the teaching moments, the book is fun and engaging. Children can easily connect with the story and illustrations that bring it to life. We enjoyed reading this book and going on the journey with the characters. We would definitely recommend this book to any family.

Planting Seeds is a great, engaging and resourceful book and perfecting for teachers to help children learn the practice of yoga. I love the activities within the book and also each lesson plan and how it is broken down.

Not only this is the practice to help the young ones with yoga but also how planting seeds in woven into the lessons including healthy eating, taking care of yourself, gratitude and kindness.

While this book is more for ages 5-13; I believe there is lessons for any ages that can be learned as well. I love the Yoga Song to the YMCA Tune :).

Planting Seeds by Janett Pratt is a comprehensive and engaging resource for teaching children mindfulness and yoga. The book provides practical lesson plans, activities, and guidance for parents, teachers, and homeschool facilitators to help young children develop a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

The theme of planting seeds is effectively integrated throughout the book, emphasizing the importance of nurturing and caring for our minds, bodies, and spirits. The exercise of planting actual seeds serves as a powerful metaphor for personal growth and development, encouraging children to cultivate positive habits and qualities.

One of the strengths of Planting Seeds is its age-appropriate approach, with lesson plans tailored for children aged 5 to 13. The book offers a range of activities, poses, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques that are easy to follow and implement, even for those new to yoga and mindfulness practices.

This was a fast-paced suspense book. Right off the bat, I was sucked right in. The two girls bounced off each other and there our mystery starts. There’s lots of action, intrigue, mystery and a little bit of romance. I loved how spunky and feisty she is. This is a really great novel for a debut. She’s new to me and I can’t wait to read book 2. Fantastic writing that keeps you engaged the whole way through. The characters felt totally relatable. Father and son interactions, who hasn’t been there. I’ll be eagerly awaiting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing series. Let start off by saying that I am a sucker for box sets. I love being able to go from book to book without a break or even having to search for them. This story has an amazingly well described setting that you can visualize yourself there. That is just the tip of the iceberg. The characters in this series makes you want to be their friends and to hang out with them on weekends. You will find yourself absorbed into their relationship with each other and the other characters. I even found myself trying to figure to who out of my friends is like the characters in the book. The love stories in each book are endearing in their own unique ways. Each book revolves around different couples but the characters are intertwined that you feel as if you’re reading one incredibly long book. This was a quick read even though it was multiple books. I found myself being drawn from one couple to next while seeing snipers of the other characters. I highly suggest reading this series if you love romance, amazing couples, wonderful meet cutes, and incredibly deep connections. I will find myself back in this series to enjoy these characters in the future because it is just that good, that re-reading it is must.

This book was a really fun exhilarating read for me. I did not have a chance to read books one and two, however, this book did not cause me to read the other books to understand the storyline. Learning about Finlay and her role in this story as an investigator, while she worked with law enforcement was eye opening. The setting in Paris of human trafficking felt so real as the author depicts each scene, filling me with suspense for the next moment. One of the best things about a mystery is the amount of suspense in each moment or scene. This book had me on the edge of my toes and quickly sparked a vivid imagination for every scene in this Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott – Review by book. I really enjoyed reading it and I enjoy the authors writing style.

This is another great installment in the Porter and Midge series about teaching kids the responsibilities of pet ownership. While Porter and Midge are dogs, the lessons learned in the book can be applied to any pet looking to be adopted. I love the way Chen and Nevada use rhythm and rhyme to get the kids involved as well as teaching them very important lessons about not only pet ownership, but also communication with parents and respect between parents and children. There is so much to learn from this story. Definitely pick this one up to add it to your growing Porter and Midge collection.

The Changed Man Book 4 in The Olympic Peninsula series.
Well, I was so excited to see that there was a book four and hope for more. I have loved each and every book in this series and yes, I do think you could read this as a standalone, but why? You will love them all. I have enjoyed the details that the author has put into this book as for the fact that I LIVE in Port Townsend and have for my whole life, so these seem to have a special connection for me. Very well written contemporary romance and all the characters are in some way intertwined, another reason you should read them all. The characters are interesting and fun to get to know them all. The family dynamics can be very relatable. Lots of emotion, drama, love, family, angst, and friends all fast paced enough to keep you engaged and wanting more.
I can’t recommend this book and the others in this series enough.

Drake is sent to get Finley home safe and sound, he has no clue how messed up of a situation she is in the middle of.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well Shadowed Deception is definitely an adventure. But not the fun type of adventure. The author brings us another challenge. Yet a budding attraction between two characters.
Finley is on assignment. Deep undercover at a nightclub trying to get as much information as possible. She knows about the trafficking but doesn’t know the details on where/how the women come in or are sold. She’s determined to find her friend’s sister as well as bring the ring down completely. Unfortunately it’s making her feel guilty for the innocents that will lose their jobs.
Drake dislikes journalists. Yet he’s in Paris chasing after the one journalist in his life that’s chasing a story. Finley is a piece of work, but she’s in so deep he has no choice but to get help from his team. as they gather information it’s becoming more apparent that Finley needs to stop because she’s going to end up in serious trouble. It also doesn’t help his growing feelings for her.
What will they do?
Do they succeed?
What connection does Finley’s father have to all this?
The author keeps the reader on a crazy ride. Keeps you turning the page. Keeps you asking questions that you hope don’t take too long to answer. With the dark sub plots just be mindful of what you’re getting yourself into. It’s really good book so it’s definitely worth it!

Shadowed Deception is the 3rd book in the Shadow Defense Security series, but the first I read. It was enjoyed without background knowledge but I could sense Drake and Finlay had a bit of a past that played into their behavior and attitude toward each other. The author did a good job providing enough information so I wasn’t frustrated or felt like I was missing anything.
The book has a good balance, being mostly mystery and investigative work, and a handful of romance scenes. I felt like there was quite a bit of a hanging to the ending. While it wrapped up the feelings between Drake and Finlay, the whole case they are investigating is still open and wasn’t all resolved. I hope it continues in another book, because if this is how the author planned to end things, I’m not thrilled.
