I have read a few books from this author and I love the way she tells stories. I read these books to my niece and she loves them as well. This book is a little more complex than her other kids books but it is still very good.
Lily, Jack, Audrey, and Nick all go to this amazing toy store. When they enter Mr. Barsins toy emporium is a brand new world. These kids are in shock at all the things this toy store has plus there are things you can even dream of like dragons and even mermaids. They are so excited but is this real or is it just their imagination?
This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy her writing style and attention to details that make her stories pop. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is hard to put down. The characters pulled you into the story from the start and kept me engaged to the end. They are connectable, strong characters that have great growth throughout which made the story easy to read. This is a story about saving a kingdom when the odds are against you. This is a story you don’t want to miss. It is fast paced and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

My niece and I like to read this author’s books. She likes that the pictures go very well with the book. They also learn about science in a fun way. This book takes you into outer space and I can’t wait to read another book from this author with my niece.

This is a refreshing YA novel with an alternative family unit and a young lady who isn’t picture perfect. The dialogue between the mother and daughter feels as if a teenager is speaking through the text. The plot pulls you in as a reader to find out what happens next. The angst of going through teenage years will have you following Stas on an emotional roller coaster ride. Finding your mother murdered and having your father as the suspect would be enough to drive anyone over the edge. Death, grief, pain, and loss full this story but so does love.

Ross is the fourth book in the Central Florida Stories series by Victoria Saccenti. Even though this is the fourth instalment in the series, it can be read as a standalone as each book in the series focuses on a different ‘couple’. This is a contemporary romantic suspense with DDLG dynamics (he’s a DD and she’s a Middle), tension, chemistry, pain, angst, danger, drama, agendas, mystery, action, and emotion. (Possible triggers of abuse and violence) For Ross, Hadley was always ‘the one who got away’. He’d secretly given her his heart but never thought he was good enough for her, to give her the future he thought she deserved. Now he hasn’t seen her in in the four years since she rode out of his life, so when she contacts him out of the blue, begging for help, his protective instincts kick in and he can’t refuse. Throw in Outlaw MC danger, drama, angst, and the DDLG dynamic and things certainly get interesting. Again, Victoria Saccenti developed her characters really well- crafting fully realised individuals with their own unique quirks and flaws. Both our MC’s have their own complexities, challenges, and pain- which adds an extra element of angsty tension, and plenty of emotion, to the whole story. The history between them that adds another layer to the story and gives them more depth, and a little vulnerability. I didn’t realise going into the story that there is a DDLG dynamic, as I am not a huge fan of that genre- but in saying that, the DDLG component of this story worked well. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Saccenti does next. Happy Reading!

The Earl, Her Reluctant Guardian by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance with a paranormal element, mystery, chemistry, family dynamics, drama, agendas, tension, and more. As with the other book of Ms. Woodson’s that I have read, this historical romance is written in keeping with the language, terminology, social norms, and styles (etc) of the era. Vanessa thought she knew what to expect when she finishes ‘school’. She’s excited to be going home, and eager to start her next on the next phase of her life. But thing get a bit complicated on her arrival home when she finds that not only is her guardian residing there, but some relatives have also moved in. Add a ghost, and some simmering chemistry to the complicated mix and things take an intriguing turn. I love Ms. Woodson’s story ideas and her attention to historical details- and her characters are always very interesting, so I am keen to see what she will do next.

Aubrianne “Anna” was given an arranged marriage with Lord Roger but his cruelty once they married was horrific. She could have cowered and survived, but she is a woman with a plan. Gaining the trust of others around her she vows to protect them even as Lord Roger of Stolweg does his best to break her.

I was thrilled to return to Buckeye Falls for a fourth time! This is a book you can read as a standalone, but I absolutely recommend that you read the previous books in order first. We met Alice briefly in the third book in the series and she had definitely intrigued me. We got to see her through the eyes of her brother and sister-in-law, which was a bit skewed. Seeing Alice take the lead in this story was fantastic, we got to see how she thinks and feels about returning home and having to deal with all of the gossips and well meaning, but meddling people in her life. I loved her interactions with James and the chemistry they had right out of the gate, despite both of them trying to deny it. James was such a sweet and amazing guy for Alice and see them fumble through fake dating while they help plan the Fall Festival was adorable. This was a great addition to the Buckeye Falls series!

This was a wonderful fantasy story that I was intrigued by the beautiful cover and decided to dive right in. I love the feels this book gave me with romance, love, kingdoms, powers, lineages, power and secrets…very enjoyable and very well written. I look forward to reading more….

Aubrianne love her people and they love her in return. Her only solice is when he leaves for long periods of time for reasons unknown. When Larkin is set to task if Lord Roger is committing treason, Larkin is out to prove is this is true…but does not realize the woman that Lord Roger is married to Larkin met before and never forgot her.

Kelleher – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
Camden’s mother died when he was young but before she succumbed to death, she made a pirate by the name of Resh promise her that he would keep Cam safe and away from his father who wanted him dead. Thus began the pirates life for Cam.
Years later, Cam accepts a dangerous job that ends up with the ship being burned along with most of his crew and with his captain Resh and his best friend Nathan being kidnapped. Cam went down with the ship. He comes back as a fire branded revenant. Camden is tasked by the same man who sent him on the first job to head to an island to get information on Lord Duskin and potentially find Resh and Nathan in the process. Plus revenge on the revenant that murdered him and his crew. After years of running away from his past, he once again takes on his original surname of Camden Callahan.
Annie, Lord Duskins adopted daughter, hates her job. She is tasked with researching patients with the rot and how the drug ‘pearl dust’ affects the people. She hates her life and her adopted family but obedience is better for survival. On top of that, she sees the ghosts of patients she has had a helping hand in sacrificing for research. When Annie meets Camden, she is quick to not trust him but when he offers her an out of this life, she accepts his partnership. The ghosts seem to become more corporeal as time goes on. Sometimes even helping her out. Is there something more to Annie than just being a mere mortal?
Camden is in over his head, there is much happening on this island and it’s hard to tell who is on which side. Who can he trust? Will his father catch wind of Cam resurfacing after all these years? Will they make it off the island?
This book was chalk full of adventure and had elements of magic, murder, ghosts,and pirates. It also delved into some darker themes like sacrifice, sexual assault, and suicidal thoughts. This book is not for the faint of heart. The characters have a lot of depth but are very relatable. I found myself connecting with Annie. She seems quiet and dark but she has a sweet side and wants to help those around her. Camden appears arrogant and full of himself but is actually full of self doubt and regret. I enjoyed getting to know these two.

Maeve O’Reilly Kensington is a midwife struggling with infertility who’s married to William. William has disappointed his family by opening a catering business instead of having a well-esteemed career like the rest of the family. They are desperately wanting to start a family but so far, it’s just not in the cards for them.
The wedding of the year is coming up soon and Will is hired to cater it. Everything must go as planned so that he doesn’t have to take out another loan and prove his family just how much of a failure he is. The bride’s father is the head of the Obstetrics unit where Maeve (rhymes with “brave) is employed. During the toast, Dr. Whitaker appears to be having a medical emergency and subsequently dies. Now everything that Will had planned to perfection is under a ton of scrutiny and his business may tank.
Maeve and her sister Meg begin to put together a variety of theories as to “whodunit”, against their brother Patrick’s better wishes. He desires for his sisters to let him do his job as a police officer and that they keep their day jobs as a midwife and realtor respectively. Not about to let a good situation pass by, Maeve and Meg do get involved and help to bring down the murderer.
First of all, I appreciate that this author has medical experience and that the terms and procedures described are done so accurately. That being said, a disclaimer should be issued for this book as it does have triggering issues for those who’ve experienced infertility or the loss of a child(ren). There are a few scenes that did not pertain to the overall solving the murder that could have been left out, however, they also give a “real-life” view into the role of a midwife. I did find the story engaging and appreciated the nice little twist at the end, although the murderer was pretty high on my list the whole time.

Mystical Midlife Mate: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel (Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo) by Reggi Dupree
5 out of 5 stars
Reggie Dupree has created one of my favorite series. I’m obsessed with the characters and their stories. The main character is such a strong wonderful woman and so relatable. The fun way the character handles all the nonsense that happens to her is so amazing. I highly recommend all the books from this series.
This was a great second book in the series! I really enjoy this author’s writing style and the way her characters have so much sass. I definitely suggest reading the first book before jumping into this one. The characters pull you straight in just like the previous book and jump right into the story. Gwen is just as great in this story as the first. After how the first book ended I was excited to jump into this when it came out. Things get crazy in this one and there are some great plot twists. I really hope we get more stories from Hoodoo! I will be on the lookout for more from this author for sure.
This is the absolute most informative book I have ever read. I did not know much about nuclear weapons when I started this book and I picked it up because it sounded intriguing. This delivers on being a crash course into nuclear power. I was concerned at first about reading this because I was a little worried that it was going to be heavy or hard on technical terms. However, that is not the case. It is actually an easy read that gave me so much information. I feel much more knowledgeable about the history of nuclear weapons and I definitely feel like I have a much better understanding of them. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is interested in finding out more about nuclear weapons. It was so well written and easy to read!

This is a standalone romantic suspense story in the Central Florida Stories, Club Nexus universe and the first book in the series I had read. Although I am now keen on reading the previous books as the characters and setting do crossover. Ross Michaels knew that Hadley Keller, with her innocent sweetness had his heart even if he knew she was never going to be his. He hadn’t seen her since she took off on the back of his younger brother’s motorcycle four years ago, and Ross now works at the members only Club Nexus. When he receives a letter from Hadley begging him to rescue her daughter from the outlaw MC they are both trapped in, he realises that she still has his heart. Ross is determined to not only rescue her daughter but also Hadley, especially once he sees her bruises and the helplessness in her eyes. The Daddy Dom in him also recognises that Hadley is a Middle and that she needs his help, however her experiences have left her traumatised. Ross also needs to keep her safe from the MC who want her back, and will do anything to silence her as she knows the MC’s secrets. This heartwarming and at times heartbreaking romance took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. I really felt for Hadley, and I liked how her relationship with Ross developed throughout the story and that their chemistry really came across in the narrative. The story contained DDLG dynamics which not everyone may enjoy, but it did add an extra element to the storyline and was part of Hadley and Ross’s relationship. An enjoyable and engaging read.

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance with a paranormal twist which kept me captivated throughout. As usual the authors descriptive narrative brought both the setting and the era vividly to life making me feel immersed in the story, and transported back in time especially with all the added historical details. The storyline focuses on Vanessa who on leaving ‘The Academy for Young Ladies’ is returning to her home, Hill House. However, she was not expecting her guardian to be residing in her home, or for her aunt by marriage to have taken charge of the household and moved her relatives in. Vanessa expected her guardian, Jacob, Earl of Danville to continue looking after her interests from afar, so is surprised to see him at Hill House. There is something about her handsome guardian which awakens Vanessa’s senses, and she doesn’t think that the attraction is just one sided. Meanwhile, more disturbing than her Aunt and her relatives living in the house, is the ghost which also appears to be living there and who fills her with dread and unease. I loved the main character, Vanessa and enjoyed how her relationship with her guardian developed throughout the story. The plot had plenty of drama, a hint of mystery, plenty of twists and turns, and of course romance, and even a paranormal element, all of which kept me hooked from start to finish.

5 Stars Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks
Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries Series and is a wonderfully written YA that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. This was the perfect book to read as the weather is cooling down. The characters are developed, creative and relatable. The storyline flowed so well there’s even a few twists that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out. I breezed right through it in on afternoon. Gumshoe is back at it again but this time she’s trying to solve the mystery before the fifteen-year-olds birthday party is ruined. Can they solve the mystery before it’s to late? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Reggie Dupree has out done herself. Mystical midlife mate is fill with all the characters you fell in love with in Return to Hoodoo (minus a witch that shall not be named) plus way more. While Gwen struggles with her new found powers her father makes his grand entrance . We find out more about Ash’s past and his closeness (or rather his lack of) with Gwen’s family . Gwen is reunited with those relatives, they shine a light on her past that has her questioning Ash. Dupree is one of my favorite authors so I might be bias, but her writing is so entertaining. Gwen’s wit to her humble downfalls make her such a relatable character even with her being the descendent of a fallen angel. Plus Dupree brings in a dose Greek mythology and biblical characters, putting them into a more modern setting. If you haven’t given the Hoodoo books a read you should. You’ll be entranced!

Before I start my review.You must stop and start with Cruel Start. It is very important to start at the beginning of the Phoenix and Aspens story. All because of an accident these two strong people have their whole lives changed. Memory loss, pregnancy and college. The ending will surprise your heart, that’s for sure. I love this story! The author leaves nothing out. I could not read fast enough. The very beginning gets your heart pumping and racing. This fast paced story keeps you entertained and your emotional rollercoaster at high speed. I could not put it down. Who needs sleep when you’re reading this story? Waiting for the next installment will be a challenge, but I can wait.

I liked this book but it was different from what I’ve usually read by this author. Usually multiple POV’s is good in my eyes but this book, didn’t have the same affect on me. I loved the story. I loved everything about Kate and Ben with their relationship. How they met, how they got together and everything about them. It seemed odd to have so much about Jenny and Josh. I get they were best friends with the Mc’s but I didn’t really care much about their drama 🙂 Kate and Ben had a fair amount of drama which some was caused by Kates insecurities and couldve been avoided but I loved the ending. This is one of my favorite authors to read so cannot wait for her next read.

We are back into Eider, Shane Hamilton is happy to have some time off as it is coming but as he enjoys his away time his phone suddenly starts ringing of the hook. When he discover that they have found a body, he decides to investigate the case but can he find the murderer but can he find the killer before more bodies are discovered.
Liza Bartholomew is back in the small town of Eider, tracking the evidence of the one that got away, back in action but can she find him this time, but when the case takes a turn and she has too join forces with the Sheriff can they work together to solve the murders.
This is the four book in this series and is just as thrilling and full of twists and turns as the other books. The book can be read as a stand alone story but some of the characters do inter change within the four books, Liza was first introduced in book two and the sparks flew off the page then but in this book you get to see more behind the woman and the drive. This book is full of twists and turns which have you turning the pages of the book and nearly reading this book in one sitting.
You also get to see the intense passion of Shane and some of his back history which adds to the story and you get a better insight to what makes him tick.
Another great story and can’t wait to read more in the future.

This is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries by Laura Hawks, and is the first book I have read by this author. I found it easy to read and it was a very entertaining story! It was a fun, cozy, mystery with a touch of paranormal activities that is a good read for the young adult genre. I found the dialogue between the main character and her buddy Gumshoe to be very entertaining! Mia (main character) keeps finding herself in the middle of an adventure and all she wanted to do was enjoy her friend’s quinceanera. One thing I was very impressed by was the ability by Laura Hawks to write a plot that keeps you engaged and guessing. I was impressed by the book and I look forward to going back and reading the first book in the series, as well as any other books by Laura Hawks! I hope you all will enjoy this book as much as I did! Happy reading!

I have read a couple of books from this author and she always blows my mind. She always brings her characters to life. This is the second book in the very addictive north fork series. This book can be read as a standalone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited for this book so I started reading it right away. I could not put this book until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.

Ross was a great 5 star read. I always look forward to reading the next book from this author and I wasn’t disappointed. All I can say is Wow, Ross and Hadley’s story had so much going on. Ross had feelings for Hadley when she left town and when her cry for help came he didn’t hesitate. There are some intense scenes that may cause triggers for some. My emotions were all over the place with all the things that Hadley had gone through. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see just how things would turn out. This is a must read, so if you like MC read with some elements of darkness you will like this book. The author does a great job with her writing and I look forward to the next book. 1-click and get started today.

Imagine yourself in the past where you had to depend on a guardian to make all of your life choices for you. Now imagine that all he wants to do is get rid of you. Add in a crazy aunt and a ghost and you have this story! All Vanessa wants to do is live at her home and be at peace but her guardian, the Earl of Danville, wants her married off and to find the spy he’s been set to locate. Unfortunately he doesn’t expect to actually like the woman he’s in charge of, let alone be attracted to her. And now there’s a ghost?!? What’s an Earl supposed to do? This was a very well written book and while it sounds like there are a lot of different things happening in one story, the author makes all of it fit together. Wonderful book.
This is book 4 and I’m going back for more!! Ross was attracted to his brother’s girlfriend Hadley years prior but never acted on it. When she reaches out asking for help to keep her daughter safe he knows he’s going not only for the little girl, but also for the woman he loved. Unfortunately for him, Hadley’s life has been heartbreaking and it’s going to take more than just getting away from his brother and the outlaw mc that they have been with while they were gone to help make her whole. Will absolutely be back tracking asap to the first 3 books!!!

This is book 6 in the True Platinum series. Even though it is a part of a series I can be read as a standalone however once you’ve read one I have a feeling you will want to read them all. This book is a second chance rockstar romance. The author does an amazing job of transporting the reader into this world. This story is full of intense chemistry, heartbreak, trust issues, angst, and a fight between your heart and your head. You are immediately gripped by this couples story and my emotions kept changing from wanting them to succeed and wanting Ceri to not go back. Alex and Ceri were sweethearts. Ceri thought they would be together forever but at the time Alex didnt seem to have the same vision. His career and the fame that came with it was more important and circumstances caused them to split and left Ceri with a broken heart she didn’t think she would ever recover from. Years later their paths cross again. Ceri has moved on and is engaged to someone else so she isn’t interested in anything that Alex has to say. However Alex is regretting everything that happened and what’s her back. He is determined to prove to her that he has changes and is now the man she wants and deserves. What lengths will he go to to prove his has changed? Will Ceri take a chance on him again and risk her heart? As much as Ceri tries to deny her feelings they are too strong but should she follow her heart or her head? This was a captivating read which i really enjoyed. The push and pull between Alex and Ceri brought this story to life. I was happy that Ceri didn’t give in easily and still kept her guard up until she felt she could trust Alex again. It was really well written and realistic that you felt you were actually watch it happen in front of you.

This is definitely different than my normal reads because I usually stay away from romances set in the past/outlander/historical romance type reads BUT I am very glad I picked this one up! It sucked me right in and kept turning page after page. The story was very fast paced and I liked the authors writing style. Anna is the MC and she was awesome. She makes the best of her situation gets stronger and stronger as the story goes on even though she has every reason not too. I am very glad I got to read this story and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy reading!
