My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author! One of my favorites! Quarterback Keeper gives us a promising start to a brand new series. I always love when A favorite author of mine comes out with a new series. Gives me something to get excited about and something to look forward to! Like the last series I read by this author, football is involved. Which just ticks off another box for me, I’m a sucker for a sports romance. Obviously different characters and setting but the same can’t be put down till you’re finished reading. I love the twists and turns of these books as well as the character dynamics. This new book is no different.
Gia is on the run. Hiding from an abusive ex. When she stows away on a random boat she feels she’s currently in the clear. What she doesn’t realize is that the boat’s owner is going to change her life.
Will it be for the better? Well I guess you will have to jump in to find out.
Kylian is stressed. Dealing with football, class, his mom’s prognosis, on top of his dad trying to force him into a relationship stumbles upon a happy surprise. Deciding to take his boat out one night, not realizing he has a passenger, he’s trying to clear his head. It’s not till he stumbles across Gia that he comes up with a plan. A “you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours” idea. Fake date, fake engagement, and if need be fake marriage. He wants to make his dying mother’s last wish come true, while keeping his dad at bay.
Will Gia agree? Will it actually work?
You know these stories, nothing is ever that simple. There’s always a twist. There’s always drama. And Quarterback Keeper is no different.
Now it’s up to you if you are going to jump in on Gia & Kylian’s adventure. All I can say is if you do, you won’t be disappointed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The trouble with possibilities by Nancie Abuhaidar, this was an amazing book that starts off with our FMC Delaney or Del for short. Landing in Africa for a non profit teaching program. Here we meet our MMC Ben who is an absolute sweetheart. From here we learn Del is a widow with two kids trying to figure her life out. We follow her journey of clumsiness and determination. She is funny and realistic, she is a wonderful character to follow around. Throughout the book we get to learn about her life and her kids. We also get to watch her try and learn how to love and be loved, it’s a tough journey and definitely worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author hit it out of the park with this one..hmm wrong metaphor..she scored the game winning touchdown with this one! Kylian and Gia meet in an unorthodox way, but quickly figure out they can help one another and begin a “fake” relationship to meet one another’s needs….but things aren’t always so simple. Gia’s past and the danger it brings lurks beneath the pages throughout the read and Kylian’s mess of responsibilities add to the complexity.

I’m very familiar with this author and have read previous series from her, so I knew I had to pick this one up and I was not disappointed. The author, as always, put together a page-turning read with excellent characters. She has an effortless writing style that pulls you in as a reader from the first pages and makes you keep going until you’ve devoured the whole story. She has excellent character development, slowly developing and adding complexity to them throughout the story, but giving you everything you want and need as a reader. There is suspense, a bit of heat, and just an overall excellent start to a new series. I’ll be picking up every book as it releases!

Master Slobozia (Masters of the Consulate Book 12) by Sylvia Black – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Master Slobozia (Masters of the Consulate #12)Master Slobozia by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the final book in this intense and action packed, explosive series and I couldn’t wait to finish it to see how it ends. We have followed the Masters of the Consulate as they chase the rogues and find their chosen mates in the midst of the hunt. With Slobozia, he is completely suspicious of the witches, due to the centuries of hate between the two groups. Taylen is hoping to join the Warriors Group and has zero interest in getting involved with Slobozia, but as the hunt continues, they are thrown together in a race to defeat the rogues. The twists and turns that the book takes you on will keep you reading until the last page. While it was amazing to see the series wrap up, its bitter sweet as it’s such an engaging series. Definitely a great series and each book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend starting at book 1 and reading your way through the series to get the full impact.

A Safe Place: Philly Heat Series, #6

I need a dog like Bravo in my life, think he would get along great with my sweet Daisy. He was such a good boy, protecting Madison and Kat even when it wasn’t necessary.

Madison’s story broke my heart, she built a good life for herself in spite of the tough beginning. She pours her heart into a pretty thankless job to take care of kids who have no one else or could have better people in their lives.

Nate and Kat’s story is sad but not like Madisons, they at least had their grandmother to care for them until she passes while Nate is overseas leaving Kat to fend for herself. She finds herself in a dangerous situation when she sees something she shouldn’t have.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Ms. Flade in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read another Productivity of Power book and it has helped me alot so I thought I would give this one a try also. The ones that helped me the most in this book were Developing a Nonperfectionist Inner, The Perils of Overgiving, and “Unproductive” Versus “Quasi Productive” Procrastination, and Other Distractions. I’m looking forward to putting what I learned here to great use. In this the author emphasizes mindfulness and self-care, by advocating for mental well-being, she underscores that productivity isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about maintaining a healthy balance. She also emphasizes the importance of time management and provides tools to do so. With these practices it aims to empower students to take control of their time and energy, enhancing both academic performance and overall well-being.The book is well-structured, blending practical advice with psychological insights. I will definitely be recommending this to people I know.

Whisper (The Entian Curse) by Kay Ross – Review by Ayla Phipps

Whisper (The Entian Curse, #1)Whisper by Kay Ross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh, wow what a ride. This is the first book I have read by Kay Ross and my oh my it was a spectacular ride. In a world where magic is known but forbidden to combine the outcome giving birth to “curses” this book gives an original take on discovering what it is to be alive.
Whisper is a disembodied spirit with knowledge, but no memories. While this might sound like a good thing, Whisper’s first experience of existence is fear, panic, and coldness. Finding compassion in a young woman named Ethene, this instantly becomes her favorite connection. All too quickly the joy of learning how to control “her” body and move, and talk she is faced with what death means. Death is an ending. Her goal quickly becomes that of staying alive and keeping others from being ended because of them. Whisper wants to make death, killing and ending outlawed. They want fear to be eradicated so that no one will ever feel it again.
Will Whisper succeed in protecting all from death and fear? Can she keep Ethene safe to achieve her goals? Or will Whisper slip back into the trees, and vines to live out their days? Being inside Whisper’s mind gave me Host feelings but at the same time so much more. Whisper isn’t a preexisting being they are a newborn and while they have no memories, they have knowledge they can pull on to quickly understand basic information. Only their first feeling of existence is nearly their ending. Ending another is quickly understood to be wrong by them and the journey they go on to try and abolish it will take you on an adventure with twists, turns, and revelations you may have never thought about before opening this book and diving in headfirst. Highly recommend. I will diffidently be keeping my eyes out for book two, to see what happens next in this amazing new and original series.

Whisper (The Entian Curse, #1)Whisper by Kay Ross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first venture into this author’s work, but the cover art grabbed my attention right away. As soon as I read the synopsis, I knew I had to dive in. I was taken aback by how much I loved this book. It has been one of the top reads for the entire year! This is a captivating fantasy novel that explores profound themes of existence, choice, and the morality of power through the lens of a sentient curse. The story begins with Whisper’s harrowing first experience, causing a death that haunts it throughout the narrative. The complexity of Whisper’s character is compelling and the relationships it builds with its allies are touching, revealing its desire to protect those it comes to cherish.

The world-building is rich and immersive, and the tenion escalates beautifully leading to a moral quandary that asks readers to ponder the cost of eradicating death: who must die for the sake of a greater good? The prose is lyrical and thoughtful, blending action with philosophical reflection, allowing readers to engage deeply with the characters’ motivations. The pacing is well-balanced, with moments of introspection interspersed with thrilling encounters, ensuring the narrative never loses momentum. The author fit plenty of humor in as well. This book truly has it all!

Ultimately, this is a poignant exploration of sacrifice and the nature of existence. It will have a significant impact on you and leave you to reflect long after the final pages. This novel is a must-read for anyone who enjoys complex characters and thought-provoking narratives in their fantasy literature. It’s a fresh take on the genre that lingers in the mind, challenging our understanding of life, death, and what it truly means to be human.

SanctuarySanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you like fantasy mixed with drama and romance, Sanctuary is the book for you. Bree Lewandowski is a first time author for me so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The cover art caught my attention and the synopsis pulled me in. I enjoy fantasies and the added elements of battle, along with the slow-burn romance and drama of life in a royal city made this a very interesting read. It did start off a little slow, but once it picked up, I couldn’t put it down! The world building is delightfully descriptive; I could picture myself in the Cloistered City with Petra, experiencing the sights, sounds, and smells of the many places she is exposed to. I felt Petra’s confusion, horror, and rejection upon learning of the circumstances of her brother’s death. I felt the connection between Petra and Rand grow and change as the story went on. The characters are fantastical yet realistic, believable, and lovable. I do hope there will be more to Petra and Rand’s story and Sanctuary will not be the last I read from Bree Lewandowski.

Betrayal (Choosing Family Book 3)Betrayal by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read quite a few books by this author, so I was excited to see another installment of the Choosing Family series. This is a compelling exploration of love, ambition, and the complexities of trust. With a keen eye for character development and a knack for crafting tension-filled scenarios, the author draws readers into the lives of Anna and Hunter, two professionals navigating both their careers and an unexpected romance.

There is fiery chemistry between them and the dialogue crackles with tension. The push-pull dynamic between the characters is expertly handled, and I found myself rooting for both of them even when I may not have wanted to! The way the author intertwines romance with personal growth is astounding. There are plenty of heartwarming connections, but it is deftly balances with the looming shadow of betrayal. I couldn’t read fast enough as the anticipation increased with every twist and turn.

Overall, this is a heartfelt and engaging read that combines sizzling chemistry with poignant themes of trust and redemption. This brilliant author has once again proven her talent for creating characters that linger in your heart long after the last page is turned. If you’re looking for a romance that navigates the intricacies of love and ambition, this book is a must-read.

This is a great historical fiction read with a bit of an Agatha Christie vibe. Ariadne (love this name!) wants so desperately to be an investigative journalist. However, this is set in 1958 when women were expected to have a far more different role than the women of today. A unique situation presents itself for Ariadne and she’s able to be a journalist, but is it going to be without controversary? You can bet not!

A very enjoyable read by an author that I’m becoming more familiar with. I’ve read two other books of hers that I’ve enjoyed. This is the first book in a new series and I look forward to reading more!

Masquerade (Choosing Family # 1)Masquerade by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read a few books by this author before, I immediately grabbed this one when I came across it. This is marvelous as the first book in the Choosing Family series. The author weaves a delightful tapestry of romance, identity, and the complexities of family. We get to know Liam and Kate who both have their own secrets and find themselves working together in a professional setting. The author expertly crafts a narrative that combines humor with heartfelt moments.

The chemistry between Kate and Liam ignites a spark that is both steamy and authentic. The tension and attraction are captured beautifully, crafting a romance that feels earned rather than forced. What stands out to me is the author’s ability to balance lighthearted moments with poignant reflections on love, loss, and the masks we wear. The playful tone is reminiscent of contemporary rom-coms, while the deeper emotional threads give the narrative a substantial foundation. The supporting characters add richness to the plot, each contributing to the main characters’ journeys in meaningful ways.

This is definitely a charming read that offers a delightful escape, filled with laughter, romance, and a touch of intrigue. For fans of contemporary romances and rom-coms, this will make a perfect addition to your reading list.

Sabrina is a secretary to Brent Fraser by day and nightclub worker at night. She works hard to keep her day and night personas separate as she juggles her work responsibilities while also taking care of her son and mother. However, when her son’s gambling debt triggers a series of events that threatens her day job and exposing her double life…she finds herself relying on her boss with her safety and her identity. While feelings are growing and lies are unraveling, can Sabrina trust Brent to keep her (and her family) safe?
I enjoyed Sabrina’s character so much. She is older than most MCs in the book I read, so that was a breath of fresh air. Watching her switch between her personas (while trying to keep each of them separate) created tension that could be felt coming off the pages. The protective streak that emerged from Brent’s character kept the story entertaining. Overall, I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading what comes next.

As she pursues her journey of self-discovery, she meets 3 spirits who watch over the town and the people in it. The more she learns from them, the more she learns about herself.

As a ‘middle age’ female, I love romantic comedy’s, but usually they are about super young, slightly childish, free woman. It was really refreshing to read something closer to my age. Sabrina is supporting both her mother and son, and has totally changed herself by day to fit into a role required by the job, offered by Brent, that allowed her to do all that. Although once night falls she becomes someone else totally at a nightclub. India is a wonderful, reliable author, and she knows how to write an intriguing, steamy, fast paced, romance full of suspense. I really enjoyed Midnight Deception and I am looking forward to book 2.
