Such a wonderful compilation of stories. Each contained a wonderful hero or heroine for the reader to fall in love with. My absolute favorite story in this anthology was When Time Stood Still. I really felt the whole book was a great holiday read. The characters were amazing and the storyline in each short tale was easy to follow.

The Confectioner’s Truth is the final book in The Confectioner Chronicles by Claire Luana. It is the final gorgeous cover and the final magical visit that we will get and I am so book depressed. When I first started this series a few months ago I immediately got swept up into this world that Luana had created so vividly and I have been enamored ever since. The way these covers scream magic and adventure the story lives up inside with an incredible world-building. I almost felt as if I was within the novel itself, something I absolutely love.
The magic, action, and adventure continues for Wren a couple weeks after the second book, The Confectioner’s Coup. I would highly recommend that you read these books in order, including the prequel because this is as mentioned a finale to a series. We meet a lot of new characters, get some new romances, unexpected tears, and a conclusion to remember. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Claire Luana! I am sure it will be outstanding.

Leaving Jackson Wolf is a brilliantly YA Coming of Age book by P.A. Kane. Kane is a new author to my list of authors. He has an amazing way of telling a story, He brings you into the story from the very first page until the last page. It seems to me that there are many Coming of Age stories and most of what I had read is about a girl/woman. Now that does not mean there aren’t any about boy/man but I have not found many of them. This story makes you think about things you may know about teenage boy/male struggles. Kane provides this insight and I am thankful he did write this book. This story was breath taking, tearful, and emotional. I would recommend reading this story with a box of tissues because you maybe surprise how a teenage boy sees the world.

I have read a few books from this talented author and she always seems to surprise me. They way she writes her characters make them come to life. I absolutely adore Christmas books.

It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible story.

I give Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2 by Ellen Butler *This review may contain spoilers from book one.*
Karina is back and finding herself in the middle of it again. When one of the senators opposes a bill she is lobbying, she wants to know why. While talking to him outside, he literally dies right in front of her. The FBI thinks it was murder and that she could be a suspect. Apparently someone else thinks she may know something as her house is broken into. Not one to ignore her curiosity, Karina decides to find out more about the things that have been happening. Who is behind it? For what purpose? How far does it go?
This is a good political suspense/mystery book. Karina is the main character again, now with her current boyfriend, Mike. She is getting into trouble and needs the help of her friends. It is interesting to see the relationships evolve from book one. Quite a few of them play bigger roles in this book. The story itself involves the political end of things much more than the first one. I didn’t realize that and it took me a little bit to get into it. But the action really speaks for itself and the further you get, the more compelling it is. There are many things that happen that I didn’t see coming.
If you like political suspense/mystery books, I highly recommend this. I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary to read book one first, but you will understand this one better if you do.

For the Love of Laura Beth (A Chicago Christmas Book 4), by Aubrey Wynne, was a beautiful love story. The author had a magical way with their words to craft a stunningly written story that strokes upon numerous emotional feels, as well as, relaying how these characters lived during that era. This story held much appeal as it progressed, showcasing Laura Beth’s perseverance. Beyond enchanting, this story captured the rawness of the characters during that time and relayed in a spectacular style.

Angela McPherson’s Hope’s Defeat is the third book of The Fated series. This stunning conclusion brings together what has occurred in the previous two books culminating Trinity’s fate. This story/series has kept me fully engaged throughout leaving nothing to chance. Trinity has been a strong and vibrant character, we continue to see that resolve in this final book. Top of the list in the teen/young adults genre.

Well Angela McPherson sure knows how to write one heck of a finale! This book really just blew me away. I was left wanting more because it was that great, but I was also satisfied with how well it was concluded. Both great signs of a wonderful ending to a wonderful series. I really must reiterate what I have been saying along with my other reviews for The Fated books. Angela Mcpherson’s strong suit is here. I had read some of her other novels prior to picking up these and they were good, but not near as shiny great as these have been. Now as I am mentioning this book is a conclusion to a series so please don’t pick it up before devouring the first two novels and in order or you will be lost as all get out. Besides its worth every second of your reading time. I am not going to go into details and ruin this amazing end for you, I just can’t bare to do it. I do HIGHLY recommend this read, you won’t be disappointed you did! Thank Angela McPherson for the amazing adventure with Trinity and Blain!

This book is a sweet , romantic Christmas story that you won’t want to miss. The cat (Brian) (Bagpuss) (Damned cat) is one smart animal. The author did an awesome job making me feel like I was in the coffee shop with them experiencing the smells and tastes with her attention to detail. There are great characters in this story that make it that much more interesting. Let’s not forget all the flirting and chemistry between Dan and Kat. I really enjoyed reading this story with some unexpected twists. I recommend this book, it is a fun, sweet read with a hint of mystery.

This book was a heck of a ride. I will warn you now there is no fairy tales here, no reminiscing over happy childhoods and not fond memories to be had really. One thing I can be sure of is P.A. Kane sure can write one emotive coming of age novel sure to well remembered by me for a long time to come.
There are some difficult situations dealt with in the novel, from abuse to alcoholic parents, which also leads to emotional abuse which in my opinion is just as bad as physical abuse. As much as I hate attaching a warning label to a novel (I really think everyone should go into books with an open mind it could be exactly what you need.) I am going to say this even had some moments where I was struck in the feels and things touched some chords. Just keep in mind if you have some lurking substance abuse in your family history this could be a bit of a touchy novel for you to read.
This is the coming of age story about Jackson Wolf. His life is far from easy, actually it’s a nightmare and I was crying for this boy more often than not while reading this. We follow him and his new friend James McDougal as they attempt to steer through a world that makes very little sense and they are doing it the best they know how considering the role models that they have had. I really enjoyed each of their personalities and the way they managed to get through things, even when they are not very good. This is definitely not one you want to miss, especially if you love coming of age and emotional reads. I can’t wait to check out more of P.A. Kane’s work.

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a five star novel. Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it is a standalone. The series only is a series because they are short, happy Christmas stories. This series has been a lot of fun to read and really helped to put me in the Christmas spirit. When the season starts, not all of us are ready, not all of us are happy for it to be here and not all of us enjoy the season as much as others. When trials happen in our lives, it is sometimes difficult to put that on the back burner and still be able to find the joy of Christmas. I feel this series tries to show that in a tangible way. When Kay moves away from home, she finds herself lonely and without her best friend. She finds a hole in the wall coffee shop and quickly finds her place there but because of a misunderstanding is having a difficult time being content. As the book progresses, we find out more about each of the characters and helps to bring them all together. Brian’s story was my favorite part of the whole book!

Fatal Legislation was the second book in Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series. I got hooked on KC, which is what she is fondly referred to in the books as, with the first in the series, Isabella’s Painting. You will want to read the that one prior to reading Fatal Legislation as this one is a continuation of sorts.
This was not my favorite of the two so far, but was still good. KC is a headstrong woman and she knows how to trust her gut and get the job done, but this was a bit thick with the political law thriller for me. I just get bored or tired with the details with these books and they are not usually the first type I will pick up. This would be my reasoning behind the four stars instead of five. Clearly a personal opinion and nothing to do with the quality of the writing that Ellen Butler displays once again in this one. Like I mentioned above KC gets herself caught up this time in a political mystery that will keep you on your toes trying to figure it out right along with her. I do hope that we will get some more of KC and her mystery solving quirky self in the near future. Thanks for the great read Ms. Butler.

Hometown Heroes has a good mix of stories centered around Christmas, heroes, and love. It has a little somethin for everyone. Courtship and courage is a historical romance with a sassy girl and a determined boat captain, centered around Christmas. I like how he’s making all his choices to be ready for a future with her, it’s sweet. When time stood still is sort of an opposites attract situation. These two were meant to meet, it was fate. Though they definitely butted heads for sure. Safe Haven takes place at this hotel I’ve read about before. All sorts of paranormal things going on, but falling in love is what it’s all about. Such a fun and sweet story.

Hometown Heroes is a great anthology! These following authors provided me with so much Christmas entertainment: Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, J D Boudreaux, CJ Peterson, E.A. Hale and Jolie St Amant. Some of these authors are new to me, while others I’ve read before. I absolutely loved reading these novellas by some of my favorite authors and being introduced to some great new authors.
Each novella captured my attention and had me hoping for a happy ending! This anthology is one I would recommend to anyone looking for their next Christmas read!

The Debt Collector is part of The Underground Bad Boys series. It can be read as a standalone. There is one part of the story involving Gage that is left open, probably to be explored further in another book.
I read this book in just a few hours because it kept me hooked so I couldn’t put it down. The interactions between Locke and Gage…wow…I thought my Kindle was going to catch fire, lol! Definitely not a book for anyone under the age of 18.
The author has done a wonderful job of creating complex characters with interesting personal histories. Although I was actually more entertained by the dynamic between Locke and Gage, the Tessa character definitely bridged between them well by adding a compassionate strength to offset their physical presence.

A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson Abbott. This is the 3rd book in this series but I do believe its become my favorite. Its the story of Billie who has left her small hometown to pursue her dreams in the big city of New York. The one thing breaking her heart is that her boyfriend Leroy doesn’t follow. After 5 years Billie has to return home to help her family and she runs in to Leroy. Will she be able to trust him again or will she lose him forever. Maybe all they need is some Christmas magic to make it work out. This book can be read as a standalone but I’ve read them all and love them all. Very quick sweet read!
This was a fantastic collection of short Christmas stories by some amazing authors! I loved that there were couple who I have read work by before and then also some new tome authors but each story in this anthology I thought was a well-deserved 5 star read! Although there may only be 5 stories there is definitely something for everybody from historical, contemporary to paranormal! The 5 stories included in the anthology are as follows Courtship and Courage by Carrie Dalby When Time Stood Still by Chelsi Arnold and J.D Boudreaux Hobbes House Noel by C.J Petterson Talking in Code by E.A Hale Safe Haven by Jolie St. Amant I don’t think I can actually choose a favourite from this anthology which unusual for me there always seems to be one that stands up but I absolutely adored all of them. Each one was different and the author or authors were able to drag me into their stories easily. I actually would have happily read full length versions of any of the stories. As I said before there is definitely something for everyone in this great collection and I cannot recommend it enough!

This was a beautifully written and highly emotional read. The author’s attention to detail during the story was excellent and I really felt like I was right there along with the characters. This is my first read of anything by this author and she has really impressed me with her vivid storytelling. I will absolutely be looking forward to reading more from her in the future. I loved reading about Laura Beth and Joe – I was so wrapped up in their story, the highs and the lows. I think because I was so invested in them I found it really emotional in parts, I was desperate for them to get their happily ever after. I love historical romance stories but I haven’t read one with a war-time setting so it was really interesting to read and I had a hard time putting it down. A moving and emotional read that I highly recommend!

The Something Series – Box Set Books 1-3: (Tell Me Something, Ask Me Something & Bet Me Something) By: Aubrey Bondurant 5 out of 5 stars
This is an amazing set of stories. Each book hooks you in and I found myself getting lost in the pages. Each of the stories focuses on two main characters. I loved reading about the attraction and chemistry that each one had for the other. The feelings that they have for each other are undeniable. The main characters are well-developed, and I found myself caring about them and their happiness with each chapter that I read. My emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading these books. There are moments that will warm your heart and make you smile. There are steamy, red-hot scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. There are also other secondary characters introduced. I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the stories. This is an author that does a wonderful job in weaving stories that you will not soon forget. I would highly recommend reading them.

The Only Series Boxed Set by Bree Kraemer is a 5 book set with different romance stories Only By His Touch, Only With Trust, If Only, Only You, Only For Love but based around the same group of friends and finding their soul mates. Each couple had their own trials and tribulations to work through to become one. It is an amazing series and the men in the series will make you all hot and sweaty and these sassy and smart women feel like friends. I am a huge fan of Bree’s writing and the ease in which she comes up with amazing characters and their worlds. I loved that all five books are all together so I could just keep reading without stopping.
The stories will keep you on your toes to see how things go and by the time you have finished each one you will need to cool off.
I highly recommend this box set, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to see what Bree comes up with next.

For the Love of Laura Beth is book four in the Chicago Christmas series by Aubrey Wynne. What an emotionally charged story. Laura Beth and Joe face so many obstacles that threaten stand in their way of happiness, but they do not let this deter them. Their soul deep love, courage, determination and endurance is commendable and so sweet to read about. This story was also a heartbreaking, and had me sobbing my eyes out. It touched me in a deeply memorable way. I felt like I was experiencing their lives with them, as I was so emotionally invested on their happiness.
The struggles were relentless and debilitating, but never once did they give up. Never once did they throw in the towel. Never once did they leave each others side. A true love story. One of the very finest I have read and one that left me breathless. 5 stars.

Hometown Heroes is a Christmas anthology comprising of five stories, which included:
Courtship and Courage by Carrie Dalby – A dramatic story set in the summer of 1898. Claire O’Farrell guards her heart but is no match for Joe Walker. This story was edgy and well written. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
When Time Stood Still by Chelsi Arnold and JD Boudreaux – A story starring Jacqueline and Nick. They get on each others nerves, spit fire at each other regularly, and provide a reader with endless action, activity, love and endurance. A fantastic and dramatic tale that was difficult to put down. A cleverly spun story worthy of 5 stars.
Hobbes House Noel by CJ Peterson – Merrill becomes a heroine after saving a stranger’s child. Christmas takes on a whole new meaning for her and she realises that sometimes what you are looking for comes to you in the oddest way, at the most unexpected time. A moving story that stays in your mind long after finishing.
Talking in Code: A Christmas Homecoming by EA Hale – Another story set in years gone by. Evelyn is a suffragette who is fired from her job in an ammunition factory, so a war veteran can take her position. Evelyn becomes entranced by James, until she realises who he is. Explosive emotions, courageous acts, defiance and love all go hand in hand to make up an adrenalin spiking and dramatic story that will never get old.
Safe Haven by Jolie St. Amant – Haven struggles to let go, and after her fiance was brutally taken from her, she has to deal with heartbreak, devastation and loneliness. She meets a dashing musician, Chance, and there unfolds a beautiful story of second chance love. An emotionally charged story that will lea vge a readers heart full.
This anthology celebrates all our heroes and heroines, whether famous or humble in their splendor. This collection of stories points out that a hero comes in all shapes and sizes, and the strength and courage of the human spirit is awe inspiring and never to be underestimated. All the authors are unique in their own right, but together they deliver some of the best christmas reading you will ever find. 5 stars.
This was a good collection of books, and what a great cause the proceeds go to! There’s a story for everyone in this set and while they all weren’t my normal genre I love, I found each enjoyable. I also found new authors to look out for. If you like the stories of the everyday hero, this is the perfect colletion for you!
Awakening of a Soul Keeper is the prequel to The Soul Keeper series by Brienne Dubh. If this book is anything to go by, the series is set to be fantastic, and is off to a great start. This is my first read by Ms. Dubh and it certainly won’t be the last. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this series and seeing what Ms. Dubh has in store for us. This is a really great story and I really liked the authors original twist to vampire lore- this paranormal story has action, some adventure, drama, violence, tension- and much more. It is a short story, which makes for a very quick and easy read. The characters are fully developed and interesting individuals who pulled me into the story and kept me reading, needing to know how it all plays out. Well worth the read!

This is a fast paced, sexy adventure. This story has several taboo subjects such as sex trafficking, male on male loving and even a little more in the sex department. This book should be read by people with open minds and those that are adults.
The Debt Collector has twists to keep you guessing, surprises to keep you reading and sexy scenes to keep you hot and bothered.
This is the first book I have read by India Kells and it won’t be the last. I really hope there are more stories by Kells about this group of characters as I found them funny, honest, and sexy. The story line was easy to read and follow, with just enough characters to keep the adventure going.
I recommend this book and am looking forward to discovering more from this author.

This is a wonderful, sweet Christmasy romantic story. This was a great story to read with characters that are relatable and fun to get to know. I really enjoyed getting to know Billie and her loyalty to her family. I couldn’t help myself, I had to keep rooting for her and Leroy to work out their communication problem and get their happily ever after. Billie is a strong character and Leroy is such a sweet and caring man. This book gave me all the feel good emotions I love in a good Christmas story. This is the third book in the series and can be read as a standalone but my suggestion is to read them all because they are awesome!! I recommend this book, and this author as a whole because she wonderful storyteller.

Abbott – Review by Candida Hopper
This story had me laughing from the beginning. Kat was so unpredictable. She was random and unfiltered. I really liked the chemistry between her and Dan. I was glad there wasn’t any back and forth between the three people. Dan and Spencer can be friends. I really enjoy this authors books. The only thing that had me checking out was the cat . I didn’t understand his part in the book. But I saw it as a fuller to give the story more pages. Overall a fun read.

Beachcomber Gone is book 9 in the Beachcomber Investigations series by Stephanie Queen, but it could be read as a stand alone book. I haven’t read the whole series, and I enjoyed this book. The chemistry between Dane and Shana is fun to read, and the book is full of suspense. The pace is quick, so it makes you not want to put it down. Dane and Shana are finally engaged, and have decided to travel before tying the knot. They went on vacation to Australia, so Dane can meet Shana’s mom. But before they could even land, they found themselves in the middle of a case, and shortly after arriving, Shana is taken. She has become the lead suspect in one of her old cases, and must avoid being framed, while she and Dane work together to solve the case. Such a fun, fast moving book. I highly recommend it.

Hometown Heroes is a collection of five stories: Courtship and Courage by Carrie Daley, When Time Stand Still by Chelsi Arnold and J.D. Bourdreaux, Hobbes House Noel by CJ Peterson, Talking in Code: A Christmas Homecoming by E.A. Hale, Safe Haven by Jolie St. Amant. Each story features a different genre but they all have a Christmas theme. The short stories are all well written and held my attention from beginning to end. I haven’t read any of these authors so I’m glad a chance to get a little snippet of their writing styles. I love the heroe aspect of these stories. The strong characters and the romance. This is a great collection and I would highly recommend this collection to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Bourdreaux, CJ Peterson, E.A. Hale and Jolie St. Amant – Review by Sunday Barnaby
What a great end to this book. The author truly knew how to pull you into this story. The magic alone would’ve been good. But the author added the twists and turns. Love, death, tragedy and sweets made this story even better. Wren was really brave even though she didn’t do very much. She has been. Through a lot in this story and I was glad with how it ended. The author did an amazing job developing the characters throughout every book.
