This book is a great book by an fantastic author and a unique take on a shifter story. It is unusual for a book like this to bring something new to the table and yet this author managed it with such ease. I was pulled into this story so easily and I loved watching how it all unfolded. I really enjoyed learning about the characters in this book too. They were intriguing and engaging right from the word go. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop as the book went on and always hoped that they would find their way. This is a well written and exciting story and it is definitely worth the read.
This book is yet another fantastic addition to the series and is possible my favourite one so far. It was just as dark and intense as the others I have read and yet this one also had a lighter tone running throughout it. For me, this added a different level to the book that the others didn’t have. The characters were so well matched too. They are exactly what the other needed, even if at times that wasn’t clear. It was so easy to become invested in their story and want the best for them. This author is one that I never hesitate to pick up a new book by because they are always so good. This book is the perfect example of that and I would urge everyone to read this series.

Earl – Review by Kerry Baker
I really enjoyed Hannah and Doyle’s story. The author wove an exciting and intriguing romantic suspense story and one that I as fully invested in the whole way through. I liked the characters; they were both likeable and relatable. Hannah’s character came across well and I could feel her emotions regarding the loss of her brother, it was a loss she felt deeply and the author got this across really well. I liked Doyle and I have to be honest I could feel the attraction between the two of them straight away, he was determined to keep Hannah safe from her stalker. A great read that will definitely keep your attention the whole way through! I’m looking forward to reading more from this series!

Wild Lavender is the first book in the Heart & Hand Series by Nicole E. Kelleher. This is a medieval historical romance. It took me a about a third of the way through to actually capture my attention, the pace goes from very slow to extremely fast. The beginning is not bad, it just is very slow, and you MUST pay attention to every detail as Nicole E. Kelleher drops small hints throughout the book, which I loved, but just wished the pace was consistent throughout. At times it felt like there was a good bit of filler information.
This book is full of castles, secret passages, war, betrayal, strong heroin, and arranged marriage. Anna is such a headstrong and brave young woman, her idea of a blissful marriage is quickly shattered when she realizes her husband is a cruel, sadistic, hateful and abusive man. Lord Roger hides behind a mask, he can be charming and alluring. Anna, with the assistance of several people want to get rid of Roger, but he is two steps ahead of them – Roger ordered that if he is to die, that not only is his Captain supposed to kill Anna, but they are also supposed to kill her entire family and harm her hometown, Chevlain.
Lord Roger is up to something, but they cannot prove it. Larkin and two other men from the Royal Guard show up in Stolweg to try to uncover any wrong doings by Lord Roger. When he arrives, he is stunned to see the woman who has haunted his dreams for years. if Lord Roger is proven to be guilty, Anna may be implicated as well since she is his wife.
By the end of the book, it was a captivating romance with plenty of action, violence, prophecy, and challenges. The book really starts progressing when Anna decides to save herself and her people from the sadistic Lord Roger. I recommend reading this book if you love medieval fantasy romance! I cannot wait to read book 2. PLEASE CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR THIS BOOK!

Kelleher – Review by Helen Dawkins
This is part of the Long Claw Pride series. I have read previous books by this author and have enjoyed them all and this one was just as good. I love a paranormal romance where the Shifter mates are protective and possessive, where neither one can fight against what they are feeling the connection is that powerful. However this is a mated story with a twist. There is a saying that love in blind and the same is true in the Shifter world except its called the Mating Haze. When Laramie Mackenzie meets Trigger Bain the Mating call is activated and they realise they are meant to be mates. Laramie is the sensible one of the pack so it is unlike her to just lose her mind over a guy. However that is what she is doing, not only does she accept her mate she also sees an opportunity to fulfil her dreams when Triggers Step-father offers the opportunity to improve their town, make it more profitable and allow Laramie the chance of having her own store. But when things are too good to be true they normally are this isn’t going to be the perfect dream she is expecting.
Trigger is a Shifter who has grown up in the human world. He has very little experience within a pack and only knows what he has learnt from his mother. He follows his step-father around helping him improve the lives of shifters or so he is told. He trusts his step-father. After everything he’s done raising him why would he lie to him? When Trigger’s step father realises his fated mate is part of the Long Claw pack he knows he can use this to his advantage. As Trigger and Laramine try to get used to their bond and learn more about each other they also need to uncover secrets and lies which could destroy their future before it even begins.
This story is action packed with twists and turns that will keep you guessing. There are characters you will love and characters you just don’t trust. The author does an incredible job of writing that allows the reader to picture the scenes in vivid detail as if they are there seeing it with their own eyes.
I am a huge fan of this author and have read every single installment of her Notebook Mysteries series. I had very high expectations for this book before picking it up, and I am excited to report that it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Mark Sutherland’s adventures as a reporter in the late 1800s are captivating and intriguing, and the author’s talent for capturing and describing the given time period is evident. This is an excellent read for history buffs, as well as mystery chasers, and will absorb you from start to finish. What added an even deeper appreciation for me was the connection to the main character in the Notebook Mysteries series, Emma. This book can be read by itself, though, so if you have not yet indulged in that series, no worries…although, I highly recommend doing so. As with everything this author writes, if I could give it more than five stars, I totally would.

This book is part of The Talisman series but it is a prequel. I have loved every book in the paranormal romance series and this one is just as amazing. The author does an amazing job with the story creating a world of.good vs evil, as well as a fated mate storyline too. One thing I really love is that the main characters complement each other. We have a warrior and a talisman but both are equalling strong and equally needed if they are to succeed and defeat the evil against them.
This is Riley and Lynnette’s story. Both of them have just reached the age of 21 so neither of them expect to find their mate so soon but the gods have other plans when they bring them together. Riley is already a skilled warrior and even though Lynnette doesn’t know what her skill is or how it will aid Riley there is no denying their connection and love for each other. When they go away to start bonding and try and figure out Lynnette’s skill they are attacked. What follows is an adventure as Lynnette figures out what role she is to play by being at Riley’s side and we learn just how strong their bond is when it is threatened. Will they defeat the evil force against them that is trying to stop their bonding? Or will they prove just how strong they are when a warrior finds his Tailsman.

This book is probably one of the most beautifully written that I have read in a very long time. The author does warn of the content in the story but ye whilst I cried a lot it was also dealt with so sensitively and unfortunately it is something we all have to go through. The way the author wrote about certain things in the books she really did make me feel what the characters were feeling. I could feel that joy, happiness, kindness and also that deep grief, sadness and hurting of all of the characters in the story. The dual point of view was great I really did feel I was able to connect with both Hope and Adam and truly understand how they were both feeling. It’s hard to write this review without giving away too much of the storyline and it is too beautifully written to be spoilt! I honestly cannot recommend this book enough; it is truly a beautifully written story!

This book is a great way to start a series. Shifter romances are not my normal go to for reading. I was not disappointed with this book. The author does an amazing job describing details of the MCs and the settings that you actually feel like you are there as a fly on the wall. All of that being said, this book explores the shifter world of a mountain lion, which I have never heard of before. I probably shouldn’t have been surprised as anything can be a shifter. That is was intrigued me with this book. It was my hook into it. Once I started reading, I was not able to put it down. I kept turning page after page to see what was going to happen or how something was going to end up. It was a very fast paced read and kept me entertained the whole time. I highly suggest reading this series. If you aren’t into the shifter genre, this book is still worth it. If you haven’t dabbled in this genre before, this is a great series to start with.

I’ve read a few books by this author now so when I saw this new release from her I was really excited to start reading and it was as I expected a really great read. It was entertaining from beginning to end and the authors wonderful descriptive writing felt like I was right there in year 1897! The genre isn’t my usual but I really like the historical accuracy that the author uses in her writing, you can tell that she clearly researches the time periods that she sets her stories in. I really liked Mark, he was a great lead character to follow. There were some great twists and turns in the story too. I’m definitely looking to reading more from this author again!

This book does not disappoint. I was intrigued with the blurb about this book. The haze that could surround the MCs of this story if they don’t take the mating mark right away. This is something that I haven’t read about in other shifter books. It is something that I can come into this series and consider a new take on the shifter genre. That said this book was excellently written and very descriptive. I was able to picture everything in my mind like a picture. There are some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. It definitely kept me turning pages to see what was going to happen and where everything was heading in the story. The romance in this book is spit on for the story. It isn’t too much and not too little. I feel like this book was really thought out. It is part of a series and I would highly recommend reading them all. I was bot disappointed at all while reading this book and I intend on reading the rest of the series. This is a fast paced book and will keep you turning pages. It will allow you to loose yourself for a few hours while reading it. I always feel that a great book will make you loose track of time and this book did that and then some.

This is not my first book by this author but one of my favorites. I enjoy this author’s writing style that makes her stories pop. Engaging stories that have lovable characters that add so much to the story. This is a well written story where the author used details to make the story feel realistic. I had no problem picturing myself with these characters. I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry throughout the story. They pull you into their world with ease and keep you there until the end. A fast paced story that is full of romance and hard to put down. This is a great story that I enjoyed very much. I highly recommend this book
This is the seventh book in this series which I highly suggest you read the previous books in this series as they are just as amazing. I enjoy this author’s writing style that makes her stories come to life. This is a well written story about second chances and forgiveness. I enjoyed how strong and relatable the characters are. They have great chemistry and growth throughout which just added to the story. They pull you into the story and have me coming back for more. A fast paced story that is hard to put down. A must read story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this amazing story.

Earl – Review by Bobbi Wagner
This is book 7 in a series. New characters, a new situation but still a continuation from the other stories in this series.
Earl has a special way of writing that makes you feel as if you are a part of the story you are reading. I love chance encounters, like everything happens for a reason. We may never know what fate has planned but it will all work out in the end.
These characters are funny, determined and brave. They each have their flaws, but no one, even fictional characters, are perfect. Perfectly imperfect…well actually Fractured.
Can’t wait to read about the rest of the brothers in this club!

Logan wants to enjoy a peaceful vacation with her family because they have not done so but in true Logan fashion, she ends up entwined in a murder down at the harbor. Can she gather enough information in time to save innocent lives? Can she keep herself out of prison when they turn to her as a suspect? Her past also comes up to haunt her in this book and can she come up to face it when she has no desire to do so? This book was a page turner and kept the reader guessing until the final chapters. Well written as always.

This series follows a young couple’s relationship and all of its twists and turns. I love the characters in this book, but the writing is so real, it feels like your heart is breaking for them. Read this book if you like romance, struggles, and true love always finding a way.

The trigger warnings at the start of the book were extremely helpful and let me know what to expect. Wow! Just wow! This book was a fantastic read! Cahki is someone I don’t want to meet in a dark alleyway if I was on her bad side, but she and I would be fast friends. She does not hold herself back and holds herself to that standard. It was a little frustrating at some parts, where better communication would’ve resolved some misunderstandings, but overall I really did like her character. Sung-Juin was not was I was expecting. With his background I was expecting a woe is me, or a jaded closed off person. He did have his moments, but I thought he was a well balanced character. This book had a little bit of everything for me. Action, romance, suspense, and everything in-between. Also I gotta say this, the cover is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I seriously can’t wait to read more books by this author. I’m definitely going to buying a physical copy of this book to keep on my shelves!

This is book 5 in the Logan McKenna series. The story starts in Newport Oregon and continues on the Oregon coast. As with the other books in the series, Safe Harbor can be read as a stand alone novel. I have read other books by this author and I’m always drawn into the storyline. There’s plenty of mystery and intrigue to keep the pages turning! This is a powerful story with themes of loss, forgiveness, family, and love. It’s a wonderfully written crime novel with captivating characters and beautiful descriptions of the scenery along the Oregon coast. A joy to read!

Valerie Davisson is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine. Her Logan McKenna Series is full of mystery, drama, intrigue, and so many twists and turns. The fifth book in the series, Safe Harbor, checks all those boxes and more. The reader finds out more about Logan’s family and her past, which collides with her present day and her connection to a murder, as a suspect. The world building in this series, and especially this book, is amazing! I felt like I was right there beside the family, fishing off the Oregon coast or walking along the beach. Valerie Davisson provides such vivid details in her writing and has also created characters that the reader can’t help but connect with. I feel like Logan McKenna could be a friend of mine in real life. The characters are so realistically flawed and believable. I can’t wait to see where the next Logan McKenna Thriller takes me!

Riley is a single mom trying to get her career back on track after losing everything four years ago. Well, she lost everything except for her adorable son, Dylan. Mitch is part of the Miller clan and he’s always such a sourpuss, or in Dylan’s words, always yelling! When Riley and Mitch meet up at yet another Miller family wedding, Mitch saves Riley from having to dance with the crazy drunk party crasher. There is an electricity from the first touch and, while they both try to deny their feelings at first, they really can’t. Riley is dead set on getting into another relationship but then Dylan starts asking questions.
This was a much more enjoyable book for me than the previous one in this series. It wasn’t horrible and I was probably just having an “off-reading day”. I loved how the story progressed but Dylan is my favorite character in this story!!! Will he get his Christmas wish?

The more books I read in the Logan McKenna Series, the more hooked I get! The fourth book, Vanishing Day, finds our heroine/musician/amateur sleuth, Logan McKenna, investigating the brutal attack of her neighbor. I love that Valerie Davisson not only captures the mystery and drama in her stories, but also touches on sensitive subjects; this book involves spousal abuse and the effects, physically and mentally, of that abuse. This book had me captivated and on the edge of my seat till the very end. The same wonderfully realistic characters return and the vivid detailing and creative, original world building is front and center in this dramatic, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Once again, Vanishing Day, as well as the other books in the series, can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them in order to fully appreciate the connection between the books.

Cruel Love by Isla Vaughn is the sixth book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. It picks up at the end of Cruel Hate as this is Aspen and Phoenix’s Duet. This enemies-to-lovers story is a page turner you will not want to put down. When an unexpected accident sends all their lives spiraling out of control, will Aspen and Phoenix make it or will their rocky relationship crumble under the pressure. After the accident that could have taken their lives, Phoenix is missing the last five years of memories. Aspen is carrying his baby and unsure how to handle this less guarded and kinder Phoenix. I don’t want to spoil anything but you will absolutely bot put this book down. Isla Vaughn is a weaver of webs and a breaker of hearts. We love you for it. 5 out 5 Stars!

A steamy romance that starts just about at the beginning of this prequel? Riley, his brother Rio and their friend Seamus are Warriors and they’re tasked to find their Talisman mate. Riley can’t stop staring at Lynnette when they first meet. Wouldn’t you know it, they seem to be attracted to each other in more ways then one. When they decide to figure out their connection things go off the rails. What happens to Riley and to Lynnette? This is a fun read and I enjoy reading about their connection to each other.

Devil’s Claw is the third book in the Logan McKenna Series and it hits even closer to home for Logan. This time around, Logan’s daughter, Amy, is involved in the drama. Although I hope that no one has as bad of luck as Logan, in the fact that all these murders, kidnappings, and overall bad things happen around her, they do make for an exciting series! Valerie Davisson delivers again with the same realistic characters and amazing world building. There are so many twists and turns and several point of views, yet Davisson is able to keep things from getting confusing or jumbled. There are so many factors going on in this book, but they all somehow come together wonderfully in a fantastic, thrilling tale, complete with fuzzy, cuddly sea otters!

I recently started reading the Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller series. Safe Harbor doesn’t disappoint! The main character Logan seems to get herself sucked into situations that aren’t exactly safe but sure makes for a great story! As usual, this book sucked me in from the beginning with some great world building and character development. Enjoyed learning a bit more about Logan’s family in this book. I think it’s easy to connect with Logan’s character as a reader and it makes me want to read more about Logan and her family & friends.

The second book in the Logan McKenna Series, Forest Park, delivers the same great characters along with some new and lovable faces. I love the introduction of so many unique, diverse characters and the way Valerie Davisson discusses sensitive topics such as homelessness, PTSD, and addiction. She delivers a harsh reality while not becoming overly sentimental or preachy. I did read the first book in the series and believe that, although having some of the back story helped navigate this book, the books could be read as standalone stories. This book seemed to flow a little better than the first and still included amazing world building and descriptive imagination! Davisson paints such a vivid picture in the reader’s mind of the setting in which the story takes place. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Another great story from a wonderful author. My kiddos love it when we get to read these together, and this was no different! I loved that this was more based on STEM than some others. Both of my kids (7 and 11) enjoyed reading this and sparking conversations on finding solutions and how you can make a bad decision without fully realizing. The illustrations are incredible, and I feel they definitely add more to the story. While you can read this as a standalone, I highly recommend picking up others in the series for the young ones in your life because they are all amazing!
