A New Day for Cray (The Adventures of Cray Series) by G Pa Rhymes – Review by Anantha Rusum

A New Day For Cray (The Adventures of Cray on the Bay)A New Day For Cray by G. Pa Rhymes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very cute story about a crab who is very playful, bullies and pinches his friends. The story conveys a strong message to the kids not to bully others and it is the kindness which is the basic foundation of friendship. The illustrations are very beautiful and characters are adorable. I loved all the characters, the crab, Gull, tortoise, fox. I overall enjoyed the book.

Relic Hunters: Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Series) by Martin Ferguson – Review by Katie Matthews

Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Book 5)Betrayal of the Gods by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So, I haven’t read any of this series previously but I actually found it pretty easy to read and follow. This isn’t my usual genre to read either but I thought the synopsis sounded interesting so thought I would give it a try. I was really impressed with the authors writing style, his writing was very engaging and I know my attention was kept throughout. It was easy to read and was a perfect book for YA readers. There was quite a lot going on in the story, it was very fast paced and full of action but at the same time it wasn’t confusing and easy to follow. The characters are really interesting and I would certainly like to read the previous books in the story to find out more about them.
Overall a really good read and one that I would highly recommend.

A New Day for Cray (The Adventures of Cray Series) by G Pa Rhymes – Review by Katie Matthews

A New Day For Cray (The Adventures of Cray on the Bay)A New Day For Cray by G. Pa Rhymes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute read for young children about how being nice to people means that you end up with far more friends around you and to make you feel happy. Cray was a little crab who liked to pinch his friends who often moved away when they saw him coming. Cray had to learn his lesson the hard way. I like how this story provides talking points for children about how they behave and what is nice and not so nice. The story had a lovely rhyme to it which is bound to capture children’s interest alongside some beautiful and colourful illustrations.
A really lovely story that my 4 year old especially enjoyed!

Sasha Smart: Short Stories for GirlsSasha Smart: Short Stories for Girls by Shermaine Perry-Knights
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a lovely collection of short stories about Sasha and some of the things she comes across in her everyday life. I really liked the length of the stories, I can imagine children reading one each night before bed. Each one provides different opportunities for children to think about what they would do in Sasha’s position. There are some illustrations in the book to accompany each story but this book probably would be more suitable for children 7 and up I feel.
Overall a lovely book of short stories that I would definitely recommend for young readers.

Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie's Grotto)Nessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve really enjoyed these longer length books from this author. I love the magic that comes through in this story as we go along with Craig, Linda and the Loch Ness Monster. With all the superstitions around the Loch Ness Monster and does it really exist I like that these books are opening up some magical and imaginative world underneath the loch where the monster lives. It’s great for getting children’s creativity and imaginations going.
This was another great read. It was a lovely engaging story with nice illustrations to accompany.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book two to this series and I must tell you that if you are not a fan of violence, dark romance, dubcon, mature langue, sensitive content, adult situations, jealous/possessive themes, and the such then this book is NOT for you! If you can get passed that type of content, then check this dark romance out! This also can’t be read as a stand alone. You need to read the first book to fully understand where this one starts and is heading. So Ava is a prisoner. Kidnapped and trapped by Kingston for her brother’s debt (2.6 million). Instead of selling her to the highest bidder he has decided to keep her. She belongs to Kingston now and she rebels at almost every turn. Which makes him want to punish her and break her into submission. She craves his touch just as much as he wants to touch her, but the hate is clear in their eyes. He will have her break so he can put her back together again. All while she tries to win his heart so she can escape. Both falling but both don’t see the danger rushing towards them. This is a book about a villain and his captive. He always gets his way. But will he this time? Such a great story. I wasn’t prepared when I read the first one, but once I started this one I knew what kind of content to expect.

A really enchanting book. The short stories cover multiple shifters, from Big Cats to Gargoyles and everything in between.<br />WE start with Elorah and Rowan, we meet Terra and Bryant,Ezekiel and Lorena to name a few.<br />Many of the stories could easily continue on to a full length book, and there were certainly 2 that I feel I need to know what happens. Saying that I found the book easy to read and enjoyed the ability to start and finish the stories in one or two sittings.<br />I will certainly be looking for more from this author<br />

I cannot wait to read more in this series. <br />The world building and character development is really good. I found it hard to put down,<br />The 7 sovereigns of the country are at the Bastian, the magical academy. Where we are introduced to multiple characters and their backgrounds are touched on. It is told in multiple POV which gives a better take on all the characters and their backstory. <br />Fated Mates, Arrangements, Werewolves,Dragon shifters, Fae, Witches, Necromancers and Royalty all in one place. <br />In this book we meet and follow Princess Amelia and Prince Dane as they navigate their relationship. Amelia is trying to finally make her own decisions, which means trying to get out of the arrangements her father has made and make her own choices. And Dane fighting the need to continue the job of alpha without allowing his tether to his fated mate control him. Will they be happy ever after?<br />

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was not prepared for this book at all. With that being said, it was wonderfully done!! If you are not a fan of violence, dark romance, dubcon, mature langue, sensitive content, adult situations, jealous/possessive themes, and the such then this book is NOT for you! If you can get passed that type on content then check this out! You might really enjoy it. This book is all about the villain getting what he wants. Which was a great twist really! Kingston is a bully. He gets what he wants or he takes it by force. He protects what is his. He’s a business man kingpin. Ava is a sweet little lamb. So naïve and pure. Ava’s brother unfortunately owes Kingston money. A LOT of money. 2.6 million to be exact! Due to this he has Ava kidnapped and he plans on selling her to highest bidder, if her brother doesn’t pay up. He wants to break her and have her submit to everything he wants, but she’s got a wild-fire streak. He can’t wait to snuff it out while he takes her to new places she’s never even dreamt of. This is just book one to the story and man oh man is it steamy! You can’t help but love AND hate these characters for various reasons. You will want book two asap after reading this one. Trust me! I grabbed them both and can’t wait to read more!!

CUTTER (Devils’ Spawn Daddies Series) by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Angela Shirley

Cutter: Devils' Spawn DaddiesCutter: Devils’ Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emily has worked hard to get were she is and now she requires a blast from her past to help her bring this horrendous MC down, but will Cutter help her and can she keep her attraction towards him under cover. She has always remembered the man who as a rookie she could not help but will she redeem herself now.

Cutter is always in the cross hairs of the law, they deem him trouble and he lives up to the reputation but he is unprepared when sitting in the integration room and in walks the woman of his dreams, but when she asks him for a favour all he can dream about is the reward he may get from her.

This is not the first book I read by this author and it definitely not the last, this story is more than just BDSM and role play but it gets into the two main characters flaws and quirks and how there past played a part in the future for them.

This story is full of twists and turns and is well written, with the elements of the chemistry which flies off the page and is great to watch the relationship development and explore the world of DD/LG which was interesting to read as I had not really read much in the way of this Dom/Sub role before.

I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read more by this author in the future.

This is the third book in the Love on Tap series. This story follows Miller and Maisy. Miller is kind of the odd one out of the family. Maisy sees past all that. These two meet after Maisy jumps in his car after running away from her wedding. That is when you know the fun is about to commence. The chemistry is definitely there, but should they really entertain the idea?

Everything goes wrong after she is charged for over $400,000 in damages to her hotel room. Who would do this and why? The twists and turns the story took were sometimes questionable but it was still easy to catch up with.

Resisting Nature is the fourth book in The Powder River Pack series by Brooke May. This is a wonderful paranormal romance, with shifters, werewolves, fated mates, mystery, angst, action, drama, chemistry, steamy developments, struggles, heartache, and emotion.
Alexa Hart’s past experience with love brought her nothing but pain- so she’s determined to protect her heart at all cost.

But, what happens when secrets are revealed? Can Miles still win her heart and convince her that they were fated to be together, and that that kind of forever-love is worth the risk. Well, this is well worth the read to find out.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Broke May!

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Jayme Raffauf

Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite #1)Savage Lies by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading the prequel novella, I was very intrigued to read more about Riley and Cole. This series is a quick read and very interesting. I would strongly encourage reading the prequel (Savage Start) before reading this book. It will provide so many details and background information about the significance of the interactions between Riley and Cole, the dynamics between Cole, Damon and their dad, and the story of what happened to Cole’s mother. Isla Vaughn does a great job of developing the characters and all the quirks and nuances of a story about high school students. I really liked all the layers of the story – Riley and her mom; Cole, Damon and their father; Cole and Damon’s cousins and their need to work hard to earn football scholarships and how Cole and Damon can help them; the elite clique of boys and girls at girl; and the connection between Cole and Riley. This was a good read and I look forward to reading more in the series.

This was a cute 5 star read. Miller and Maisy’s story pulled me right in. I had several LOL moments with these two. Miller ends up helping Maisy out of a not so great situation. An attraction of course is there and starts to build. Can Maisy break through Miller’s walls and get a HEA? I have to say I really enjoyed this read. It was nice seeing characters from previous books. There was one character that stole the show a few times and had me LOL. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. You can read this book as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading from book 1. If you’re looking for a great fun read, 1-click and get started today.

It is true and Amelia at first wants no parts of having an arrangement of marriage that serves value to her people…she wants to make her own choices.

Prince Dane is trying to get to know Amelia slowly, especially through Amelia’s cousin, Cora…but his patience is wearing thin to where it is very frustrating. With a necromancer’s daughter, Kessera, with a mist of chaos and her own agenda, Prince Dane and Princess Amelia must try to work together for the greater good…but with vampires, goblins and attacks happening at the castle…will Prince Dane be able to be there for Princess Amelia……….and will the princess finally be able to break down her wall around her heart and give Prince Dane a chance….

Portrait of Deception (A Southwest Suspense Novel) by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Portrait of Deception (A Southwest Suspense Novel)Portrait of Deception by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Portrait of Deception is a fast paced, action packed, suspense filled thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final pages. The story centers around the character of a photographer named Margo who has been nominated for a prestigious award. If she wins the coveted Butler Prize it will not only help her financially but most of all it will open numerous doors for her and launch her career as a professional photographer. On the day of the award ceremony, Margo awakens in her motel room and discovers that it has been trashed and she must pay the hotel $46,000 in damages. Margo has no recollection of the night before because she blacked out. She was on her way back to her room with a fellow photographer who was also nominated for the prize and vaguely recalls seeing glimpses of faces of people she did not recognize. The rest of the night is a blank and she feels that she must have been drugged. Margo not only has to pay the hotel damages, but the Butler Prize Committee found out about damages to her room, and she is taken out of the running for the prize. Margo is horrified, shocked, and saddened that she now has this reputation and must find a way to salvage what is left of both her career and her reputation. She has no other option but to accept an offer put forth by a tyrannical and sleazy foreign politician to visit his castle and take his portrait for the sum of $100,000. Once there, things take a dark turn for Margo, and she must fight to save her life.

This was a gripping story with an intriguing storyline, well developed characters, and twists and turns that fully immerse you into the story. I immediately felt a connection to Margo because she is smart, feisty, determined, and courageous. As a photographer myself, I loved that she is a photographer and was really drawn into the scenes through the author’s vivid descriptions. I found myself wanting to stand alongside Margo and photograph the magic and beauty of the setting sun in the park, the old part of the city, and the graffiti. I must add that I loved the cover for this book! It captured my attention and had me picking up the book to read and I am so glad that I did.

Resisting Nature (Powder River Pack Series) by Brooke May – Review by Jenni Bishop

Resisting NatureResisting Nature by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was happy to see a new book by Brooke May was out and couldn’t wait to get it in my hot little hands. There is not one book that Brooke has written that I have not loved. I like that she writes several genres and always comes up with a good storyline but paranormal is my first love. Resisting Nature is a paranormal romance tale in the Powder River Pack series. Make sure you read them in order, or you are missing out on all this alpha goodness.
With fated mates and alpha shifters, werewolves, love, action, drama, passion, heartache, pain, hope, secrets, longing and more. This is my favourite book to date and love the characters that are a part of this world. They are interesting and well developed and it’s hard not to like them. There are also times where you find yourself laughing as well.
Alexa is trying to start over and move on from the mess that was her life. She wants a peaceful life, a good life only if the past stays in the past. Is l ready to let someone in? Could she truly be happy?
Miles has never been one to have control when he sees something he wants. S is more than something he wants she is his fated one. He will make sure all she sees is him. He finds the one thing that will make his life complete, but will she accept him or will her past keep them apart?
If you love paranormal romances, then you will need to grab a copy and enjoy.

The stories described real issues that young girls and boys deal with daily in their journey as they are growing up and in school. It also offered real solutions that every child can put into action to resolve the issues if they are facing it. I recommend this book to every young girl who needs help navigating the real world.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Heart So Savage is a continuation from book one in April Moran’s Savage Duet and should really be read second (in order). The first book ended on a cliff hanger so that A Heart So Savage could pick up where we left off. I was lucky to find this duet when both books had already been released so it was a very smooth read and I was invested immediately. I liked A Heart So Savage even more than book one, it was pulse racing and filled with a lot of entertainment, especially after the “introductions” were long out of the way. The characters are as dark and steamy as the storyline and April Moran writes dark romance well! I hope to read more in the future.

I’m such a sucker for cover art ! Loving this one and it was definitely judging a book by its cover in this instance for me and yay it was a good judgement 😉

When I read the dedication I already teared up and I just want to say thank you to Sara Vinduska for being vulnerable , for sharing a piece of her heart ❣️

Hayden is out checking the ranch perimeters when he’s shot , there’s a blizzard on the way and home is far away especially in his injured state thank goodness for Gunner his trustworthy horse that gets him to safety , one of the rental cabins …..

Ruby is on the run and is hiding in a remote place , she can hear , breathe and heal she can also think of her next move , she’s just made a fire to warm her rental cabin when she sees a horse and a man slumped over in his saddle …..

Despite her fear she brings him in , he’s bleeding and has been shot after all she can’t just leave him and there I know she’s a survivor because despite her fear of her past she doesn’t hide away she takes the bull by the horns , you go girl !

Ruby and Hayden find their rhythm while she’s nursing him and like Ruby I love his milk drinking ways 😉 Hayden realises she’s on the run and being confined they start sharing with each other and there’s an undeniable chemistry between then and Hayden is a saint in so many ways , he’s gentle , patient , kind and caring but he’s also protective and when her past comes knocking on the door , things get scary but Hayden and his family are there and Ruby is enveloped within their family …..

This was a read that my heart didn’t even know it needed and the cherry on top was my milk drinking cowboy 🤠 loved every page and Ruby deserves the peace that Hayden brings to her 🥰

A New Day for Cray (The Adventures of Cray Series) by G Pa Rhymes – Review by Ayla Phipps

A New Day For Cray (The Adventures of Cray on the Bay)A New Day For Cray by G. Pa Rhymes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED. This was a new author for me and love the rhyming makes things so much easier for young kids to follow along with and helps in their learning journey of becoming strong independent readers. While I understand the underlying meaning of its better to be friendly than to be a bully the story made it slightly confusing. It took Cray, losing a limb essentially to be nice and stop bullying. He didn’t apologize or anything, just all the other characters came to comfort and support him after to start a new beginning. Now the second meaning that after something bad something good is coming your way I love this, and it is so easy society today, it’s often hard to see an upside or positives out of something bad. I look forward to seeing what adventure little Cray will get into next.
