Four children visit Mr. Barsin’s Toy Emporium to find imaginary friends. The twist: Mr. Barsin doesn’t ask for money in return for the imaginary friends…but something else. The author does an amazing job at creating a fun world where imaginary friends are real. The story follows the four children, each with a unique situation and personality. Fast-paced and magical, this book is full of fun and adventure.
I have been enjoying reading some YA fantasy books recently and this was yet another good one. The author is able to really create such a unique world and bring the characters to life. I was really drawn into the world and felt as though I was just so eager to see how things would progress. I really like how the characters have such an amazing chemistry. There is so just the right amount of drama and adventure. The book really draws one in and keeps the attention as the story evolves. I like how the author brings two different kinds of magical people and puts them at odds with each other and is able to evolve the story and keep the reader’s imagination flowing. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series in the future.

This is the third book in this series that is just as great reading as the previous books. I highly suggest reading the previous books to help your enhancement of this author’s writing style. This is a well written story where the author used details to make the story come to life on each page. The characters pull you into their world with ease and keep you engaged to the end. They are strong, creative characters that add so much to the story. They bring the twists and turns to a new level. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout which made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

This book is the fourth in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. I read it alone without reading the prior 3. I was able to follow along with the story, but would like to read the first books for more background into the characters. In this story, Eve and her friends look forward to a winter vacation but it’s interrupted by a potential murder (or was it a suicide?) at the house where they’re staying. Eve tries to solve the mystery. I liked this book. I enjoyed the characters. I love that a dog was the one who discovered the body – it adds a unique touch to the book. I appreciate the length of the book. It was long enough to include relevant details, but also short enough to follow the mystery from beginning to end without days of reading. I recommend this book for those interested in mystery novels, especially if they have read any of the other Eve Sawyer Mystery books.

Eve Sawyer, amateur sleuth and journalist, is back again in a winter mystery. When she and friend Randall are invited by mutual friend Cassidy to housesit at her aunt’s, Eve is excited for a chance to rest and relax!
Things are afoot very quickly when they are woken by police knocking on the door after they found a body hanging from a tree nearby. Was it a case of suicide or murder? Eve normally likes to investigate and get to the root of the problem in the cases she takes on anyway, but when Mead’s mother begs her to find the truth of what happened, she can’t resist.
Will Eve be able to answer the questions his mother is asking? How many people are holding on to secrets they’d do anything to protect? Will she be able to keep herself safe as she begins digging deeper?
Another quick read I couldn’t put down. Eve is a wonderful main character, always asking questions and listening to people when they speak. Intrigue, mystery, secrets, and unfortunately for Eve, not much in the name of relaxing. Another great Eve Sawyer book!

In this enemies-to-lovers romance, Arryn is betrothed to a prince who has disappeared into a forbidden world called the Lands Below. With the help of a bitter sentry, Rowan, Arryn sets out to find her prince. Do they find him? Do Rowan and Arryn settle their differences and become friends, or something more? Find out in Heart’s Rescue. The characters are likeable and relatable. The reader can feel right along with the characters. The details in the book make you feel as though you are right in the story with the characters. Heart’s Rescue alternates between Rowan and Arryn’s point of view. Full of twists and turns, Heart’s Rescue will have you gripping the edge of your seat. Heart’s Rescue is a fun, exciting, and quick read. It had a decent amount of romance mixed in with the action. I enjoyed every moment of it and cannot wait to read more in the series.
After the way Cruel Hate ended I needed this next book immediately. That is your warning to read these in order!!
Phoenix and Aspen are recovering from the accident that left us on the edge in Cruel Hate. Phoenix isnt the same and Aspen is learning there is much much more to him than she ever knew. I was invested in this book and was rooting for these 2 the whole way.
Now I won’t say I wasnt left wanting more at the end because I would be lying but it is about another character so we will see where the next on this series goes. I’ll be watching everywhere for a release date for the next.

This was a very fun little book. The exploration of a child’s imagination and how wonderful it can be was fascinating. I enjoyed the interesting world created by the author and the characters as well. I recommend this book to parents who have children that like to read and enjoy exploring new ideas and have great imagination.

A Death on Fool’s Lane is Book Four in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. It is a cozy mystery with action, suspense, drama, intrigue, secrets, lies, and crime. Although it could possibly be read as a standalone, I do highly recommend reading the first books in the series because they introduce you to the FMC and give her backstory. The story centers around the character of Eve Sawyer who is a college journalism student with the uncanny ability to find a good story. I love the character of Eve and was drawn to her in the first book in this series. She is smart, feisty, determined, strong, and brave. Eve is also a bit of an amateur sleuth who enjoys tracking clues and solving mysteries that may otherwise go unsolved. When Eve and her friends decided to spend the Christmas holidays together house-sitting for her friend Cassie’s aunt the last thing, they expected was to be awakened to the police knocking at the door. As they soon discover a retired police detective and his retired cadaver dog have discovered a dead man hanging from the tree in the backyard of Cassie’s aunt’s house. Now Eve and her friends must determine who this man is and why he is there. They must also try to figure out if this man’s death was a murder or a suicide. As they try to unravel the clues, they discover that someone is not keen on the mystery being solved and danger lurks around every corner for Eve and her friends. The ensuing investigation takes some twists and turns that kept me guessing and that grabbed my attention until the very end. I highly recommend this book!

Another enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense story in this exciting series which I’ve enjoyed reading. This was a real page turner of a story, as Detective Doyle Murphy has to protect Public Defender Hannah Patel from an obsessed and terrifying stalker. Hannah’s brother was tragically murdered and for the following year she withdrew to the comfort of her family and career. However, as time passed she realised that the man who is obsessed with her is now a real threat. Meanwhile, Doyle was doubting his future in law enforcement following a fatal error, but being put in charge of protecting Hannah could be his redemption. However, they didn’t expect to find each other attractive and then their forced closeness results in their genuine feelings to develop. Their relationship seems to annoy the stalker though, making him even more dangerous and putting both their lives at risk. I was hooked from start to finish and the descriptive narrative brought both the characters and setting to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. The plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story, and I felt invested in the likeable and relatable Hannah and Doyle’s relationship.

Holly Claus is responsible for the Cheer levels at the North Pole. She must go out each cycle and get the required amount so that they have the correct amount of magic. While in Sweden, she sees a flyer for a festival in Oregon and decides to go there. Ash Hayes is worried about his little town of Emerald Hollow. His business is doing fine but others seem to be closing almost as soon as they open and if something doesn’t change, it will affect his business too. Knowing the festival is coming up, he steps it into high gear and does more advertising and tries to make this festival the best yet. When Holly and Ash meet, Cheer is in overabundance and Holly needs to figure out why. Opinion This book reads like a Hallmark movie. You know what is going to happen in the end but you want to watch knowing it will be a fun ride. I found this book super cute and it definitely put me in the mood for the holidays. Great winter read.

Boy, was this one a page-turner! The author just keeps making this better and better. Jodi gets herself a case and a man. Xavier brings a mystery and secrets. Can’t say much because you’ll have to read to learn it but this is some action packed entertainment wrapped in a mystery. Nic, Con, Cassy, and Sheriff Hamilton are all here to help her as she makes her big deputy ‘debut.’ Some twists that I didn’t see coming. antagonists that I didn’t see coming with some big britches and some strong strength from Officer Murdoch. Excellent book and series that I recommend highly.

This book is a great escape from the reality of every day life. You will be swept away into a historical fantasy romance. The book will have you turning pages to find out what happens. Not only is the story about romance but, there is adventure, secrets, second chances, mystery, and evolution of characters. You will want to know what happens when two people who met once and couldn’t forget the other one, meet again. It will have you wondering what is going to happen to the traitors in this story and who is it going to affect. Being able to be get lost in the words on the pages and so caught up in the story that you won’t get much done until you finish this book, speaks of how well it was written. This is the first book in the series and it will have you wanting to keep reading every book that follows. I know that I am going to be reading the rest of this series. It has been a long, long time since I have been sucked into a fantasy romance book. I can’t stress enough how amazing this book is and how if you are remotely considering reading, you should just go ahead and do it. Reviewed by: @bbohls View all my reviews

What was supposed to be a peaceful holiday vacation with friends quickly turned for the worse. Eve and her friends become wrapped in the middle of a death investigation to help save someone as a person of interest and find the killer so Mead can rest in peace. This book had me guessing who the killer was or if it was suicide throughout the whole book and was captivating. If you are looking for a light, easy reading mystery book, this is it!

The Moon That Fell From Heaven by N.L. Holmes is a story about an emperor’s daughter named Ehli-nikkalu. She is married to King Niqmaddu, and it is quite evident from the start that their relationship is not one crafted of love or respect for one another. When Ehli-nikkalu discovers a secret the King has been plotting, it sets her forth in motion to try to do the right thing and warn her father of the King’s deceit, along with the evidence. However, things do not go as well as she had hoped. More twists and turns take the reader on a bumpy road with Ehli-nikkalu. With elements of history, suspense and mystery, I feel the author did marvelous work crafting this adventurous tale. The story is well-written with lots of detail to really make your own imagination come alive as you read along.

Lady Arryn has her whole life planned out for her. How she dresses, the way she talks, even who she will marry. Her beloved is no other than the Prince. When he goes missing after heading to the lands below, Arryn’s mother starts planning out her alternative marriage prospects. Arryn does not want to have to marry anyone other than her Prince. She takes it upon herself to try to find the Prince, instead she falls into a world she was not prepared for.
Rowan and his brother are the only sentry’s left in their small village. One day a monster gets in and kills 3 civilians and takes the arm of Rowans brother. Out for revenge, Rowan hunts down the monster and delivers him to the king. Another monster gets it but this time it is a Lady. She begs for mercy so Rowan takes her home to figure out what to do with her. This starts the adventure of Rowan escorting Lady Arryn home.
This book was a page turner that’s for sure! I loved it from beginning to end. I loved reading about Lady Arryn coming into her own. Being in a different land was freeing for her and it was refreshing to read her character growth. She’s stubborn and sassy but also classy. Rowan is used to living in his brother’s shadow. Rowan is considered a freak due to his unique magic. Arryn brought out the best in him and he slowly gained confidence. They both grew up being taught that the other kingdom is full of monsters. I was rooting for them from day one. The forbidden love. There were twists and turns, romance, adventure. A little bit of everything! I highly recommend checking out this series!
Wow! Loved it! Book 6 and I am still totally vested in this series. This is the continuation of Phoenix and Aspen’s story – so defjnetly read Cruel Hate first. Pheonix is recovering from the accident and is a different person. Aspen is having to make some hard choices for her, the relationship and the baby. This story is the conclusion of their duet and is brilliantly executed as is the whole Hidden Valley Elite series. I eagerly await the next duet in the series Wicked Games and Wicked Ends. Highly Recommend

This was phenomenal! Absolutely nerve wracking but brilliant!
Hannah Patel , public defender, tragically lost her brother and she is so focused on her career and family but she also has an admirer aka a stalker and he’s getting bolder , she’s in danger and because she’s seen as the enemy her support is next to nothing but there are still some good guys out there and they come to her aid ….
Hannah enjoys rowing and it’s her release and I’ll be honest she makes it look rather tempting 😉I love her gentle heart and that volunteers at a shelter ❣️🐾and that’s how Oscar joins her family and bless his little canine heart he comes through when she needs it most ! Love you buddy 🥰🐾
Doyle is on a sabbatical after a rather harrowing case but when a friend calls in a favour he sees the real danger lurking ..,.
Things really get hairy at a stage and I’m so grateful Doyle is around and that he knows people that can help and just as it looks like everything is safe you get this eerie feeling and spot on some more hair raising action comes our way ! But all is well that ends well😉and there were some really “ oh my gosh “ moments for me where I thought this is it , she’s a goner and she’s braver than I would’ve been !

5 Stars Cruel Love (Hidden Valley Elite Book 6) by Isla Vaughn
Cruel Love is the sixth book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that I couldn’t put down until I finished. This is a Enemies to Lover’s Romance that is loaded with, drama, jealousy, secrets and so much more. Cruel Love picks up right where Cruel Hate left us and holy cow what a ride these two have taken us on. I highly recommend reading this series in order as the characters overlap and you get to know what had been going on . The characters are spot on and developed, relatable and real. They bring the story to life and you feel like you are right there with them. This is the conclusion of Aspen and Phoenix story. She thought she had it all but know he doesn’t have any memory of her or them being together. She will fight till the end fir the man she loves. Phoenix has no memory of who he one was and everything has changed. I don’t want to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. This is my favorite yet but man this series just keeps getting better and better. I’m looking forward to what this author brings us next.

I so need someone to either punch Garrett or fire him because he needs to go. I knew he was going to be trouble from the beginning. I don’t like him. But I am totally about these boys growing up into the men the women need them to be.
Two years ago, Annabelle challenged herself to have a one night stand with Dakota, the uber-hot lead guitarist from the most popular band on the planet. Not only did she succeed but she never forgot how he made her feel, the tingles his touch left on her skin or the way he made her feel wanted. Annabelle has to see him one more time at her best friend’s wedding since he is best friends with the groom.
Even though Dakota could have a different woman every day, there is one woman that keeps occupying space in his brain. He will get the chance to see her again at The Monk’s wedding. Dakota wants to, needs to reconnect with her. Annabelle is everything he remembers plus so much more.
Annabelle gets a phone call to intern with the band. She can learn marketing and band management on the way to her MBA. Now, she only has to manage to stay away from Dakota until the band goes back out on tour. Except, Dakota’s main goal is to be wherever Annabelle is.
Garrett does what he does best and starts planting seeds of doubt and derision between Dakota and Annabelle. When the seeds take root and blossom, Dakota reverts back to his old ways. When Dakota realizes his error, he must find a way to win Annabelle back.
This series has been wonderful. Each story is full of heart and feeling. The characters have a realness to them. Except Garrett. I do hope that he gets what is coming to him. If you aren’t already a Balefire fan, this one will have you getting temporary flame tattoos and figuring out which undergarments you are flinging at the band!!

The Truth About Myths is the 3rd book I’ve read in The Winemaker’s Series and it’s probably falling in 2nd best. Book 2 definitely was my favorite but book 3 is coming in a close 2nd. The author writes wonderful tales about characters dealing with the aftermath of the exile, disaster to the grape vines, their very livelihood. Henrique is ready to leave Portugal, he has just one last thing to accomplish to make that happen. He needs the king’s signature on the deed to sell his property before being able to leave for London. However the king has other plans. He wants Henrique to escort his sister to Spain, even resorting to blackmail. Unfortunately for Henrique it’s going to be a harder task than he thought. He’s attracted & intrigued by the princess, to the point being around her is sometimes difficult. At the same time he wants to be there. Isabel wanted to decline, but was encouraged by her brother to go to Spain. To see what’s going on within their government. “Get close and report back” type of thing. What she wasn’t expecting was the man from the garden being her escort. She will do everything to resist him but her body betrays her at times. When she learns the truth that the exiled queen’s son is returning, her anxiety picks up. This can’t be good. Will his return have something to do with her? How do Henrique and Isabel handle their attraction to one another? Those questions and so many more come about throughout this book. I felt like for Isabel this was a story of self discovery, and the author displays that well. This series is different and gets better as it goes. I encourage everyone to start with book 1, though it reads well as a standalone. I just want everyone to experience the trials and tribulations of all these characters.

I read this book pretty quickly. It is a Christmas romance similar to Hallmark or Lifetime Christmas movies. I personally love those types of movies. I think this would actually make a cute movie. It is well written and had great character development.
This is my first book by Brittany Tucker and I was mildly impressed by her writing style. Such a fun adventurous book. It was definitely something I never expected to enjoy reading but I did. Brittany does a great job explaining Camden and the others and just pulling you into this awesome story.

When Peter discovers a genuine masterpiece from Picasso in a junk shop, he gets his big lucky break he has been waiting his whole life for. As he finds more and more art pieces he becomes more profitable and his competitors are up on the race to question how he is doing it. Then there is murder, and the detective James Sheldon gets involved. He has to fix all the pieces of the puzzle together to find out the murderer. But as the suspect list gets bigger, more secrets and dark pasts are revealed. This book is an out and out thriller. I read it in one go. Looking forward to read more from this author.

Christmas has arrived in the book stores already ! I enjoyed this hallmark Christmas romance, a very festive and engaging read. Holly Claus visits the small town of Emarald Hollow to find out why Christmas cheer is so abundant there. Holly travels around the world collecting Christmas cheer with which she powers up north pole and it’s operations, but she feels something is lacking in her work.
Ash Hayes is building up a tourism business at the town, and he is keen on making the town a desirable destination for people to visit. When Holly and Ash meet, romance is in the air, but neither of them is looking for love. But the cheer and the magic have their own plans and there could actually be a possibility of love between the two of them. It is a festive setting, beautiful romance and a fistful of magic. A perfect holiday recipe !
First of all, what a plot twist!!! I did not see that coming.
Book 6 brings us the twisted happily ever after of Phoenix and Aspen. He most definitely rose from the ashes to love Aspen and child.
We do see our friends from past books and are introduced to shall we presume new friends?
We learn about secrets from long ago. We learn some people in the family haven’t been very truthful or who they appear to be.
AND THEN WE GET BLINDSIDED YET AGAIN! I can’t do this over and over and over. Ma’am: I flove your books but I’m going to have to restrain myself and wait until Shane’s story is finished before I can read it. My heart can’t go through this again! {wink, wink}.

Eve Sawyer, journalism student, is fun character to follow – she is just nosy enough to get involved in a murder investigation. As Eve investigates a suicide, she finds that it might just be a murder. I kept the pages turning as I wanted to see what she finds out, all the way until the end. This is a get cozy on your couch with a blanket and beverage and be ready to read until the end. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/867231-tanya”>View all my reviews</a>
