This book was so gentle in explaining loosing a pet. I enjoyed how the vet explained to the kids one step at a time what was happening and allowed them to sit with their sadness. Me and my kiddo both cried it was such a beautiful story.<br />

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics - A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind's Most Dangerous GameThe Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics – A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting and thought provoking read into the history of nuclear weapons, how they are made, who’s idea were they, and what happens when they fell into the wrong hands. It is an eye opening read about a subject we hear about but don’t really pay attention to. This book had made me realise that we do need to pay attention. It is terrifying to think of the power and how much damage could be causes and innocent people lives lost from the production and use of nuclear weapons.
The author does an incredible job of making the material in the book book informative and engaging and it is written in a way that makes the reader feel good as it’s easy to understand. It is a scary but interesting topic and makes you realise just how insignificant the human race are. We are literally creating the weapons that could one day end up the destroying us.

Cruel Start (Hidden Valley Elite #4.5)Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Cruel Start in my opinion could have just been apart of the next book Cruel Hate. It’s very short with a plot that ends as soon as it starts. Had I known just what I was getting myself into I might have passed. I am reading the next book which has more promise but overall disappointed in the start to the series!

Taz: (Devil's Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter)Taz: by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This MC story is book 3 in the Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter series. While it has a good story line it is not my favorite. For some reason I just wasn’t feeling these characters. With that being said, I love how all the characters from the previous stories are still involved. The Club is more like a family and the “sisters” protect each other no matter what. I love that. This story, like the rest of the series, shows that family isn’t necessarily those related by blood.

Taz and her son, Teddy, are in trouble because the past never stays buried. With the help of her MC family and the Intruders MC, the past will have their hands full!

Recommend reading this series from the beginning and I am looking forward to what comes next for this tough group of women!

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rowan and his brother, Phaedron, survive in the World’s End in the Land Below. That is, until Phaedron’s arm is cut off by a monster, which Rowan then drags to the King before setting out for revenge on all monsters for what happened to his brother. Arryn is a lady from the Land Above, determined to show everyone she is more than just an object by travelling to the Land Below to find her beloved Prince. Rowan and Arryn meet in the Land Below and, naturally, try to kill each other. But they end up getting along better than either of them would have thought. My favourite character was Rowan and my least favourite character was Folwynn. I recommend this book because it’s an enemies to lovers fantasy romance, what more could you want? The one-bed trope, threatening each other with knives, hating everyone but each other, sacrificing their lives for each other. The characters are layered and complex, the story is interesting and compelling, the love is pure and strong. ‘How wrong I was. There is nothing cold here, nothing at all like ice.’

Vixen: (Devil's Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter)Vixen: by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love being back with the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, and yet again I was hooked from page one and literally could not put the book down! This is Mira’s story, known as Vixen and like the other MC members she has a tragic and traumatic past involving trafficking and prostitution. When a friend from her past needs help the fierce and fearless Vixen, along with the MC help her escape, even though it means facing her demons and the horrors from her past. It also means asking the man who broke her heart, Lucas Dombranski, known as Ironside for help, but she’s unsure if she can rely on him. This gripping read is full of drama, tragedy, suspense, angst and of course plenty of romance, all of which kept me happily turning the pages late into the night! I was once again transported into the Devil’s Handmaidens MC’s world, as it came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. The well defined and developed characters, despite their pasts and their flaws are likeable and relatable, and I felt engaged with the main character of this story, Vixen throughout. The chemistry between her and Ironsides sizzled off the page and I enjoyed ‘catching up’ with past characters. I love the realistic banter between the members of the MC, and I look forward to returning to the Devil’s Handmaidens MC again soon in the next book.

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing romantic fantasy that Meredith Hart has created in a wonderful world of never-ending possibilities. Our two main characters are complete opposites of one another, and that is what makes their romance so much sweeter! Rowan Undervale is from the Wolds Below where they have the Kingdom Fall. He is an odd character with amazing magic like no other, as he is the only child born in the Worlds Below, where everything is covered in snow and ice, and very little grows there. They have orbs of light that shine during the day so they can see, but at night everything goes dark, there are no stars to be seen. He and his big brother Phaedron are orphans and of a lowly class, hence they live in the outer region away from the Crystal City where everything still grows in luscious greenery. Lady Arryn on the other hand is from the Wolds Above, where they have the Kingdom Summer. It is beautiful there, the night sky is filled with the stars, and everything is surrounded by sunshine and fresh air. The people there are golden from all of their time in the sunshine. Lady Arryn is of high class and is bred to marry the Prince of the Kingdom Fall once he asks for her hand in marriage. There is only one problem, her prince has disappeared into the Worlds Below, and Arryn takes it upon herself to rescue him. This is why she meets Rowan, and their adventures begin together, learning through their trials and tribulations to depend upon one another and get to know about the other’s world and how life is so different for each of them.
What an amazing read this was, the main characters have so much personality, you can feel the tension so thick, that you could cut it with a knife. The plot of the story kept me on the edge of my seat awaiting what could happen next to these characters, and would they be able to survive one another’s company? This book is the first of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone, I don’t advise stopping after this book but continue reading the series because there are so many more adventures ahead with our other characters.

I did not read the synopsis of this book to know what it about. I chose this based on the cover and assumed that would be some kind of romance involving royalty of some sort. There is royalty and there is romance, but there is also magic. Rowan is an outcast due to his dark magic. The only person he cares about has been attacked by a monster and he sets out to save him. Once his brother is safe a woman who is looking for a prince comes along, as well as a second monster. Now Rowan faces a dilemma, does he hand the woman over to the king? Or does he keep this lady safe? This book is a genre that I don’t often read, but whatever it was about the art on the cover intrigued me. The characters are well developed and keep you engaged in the story as it progresses. Plots twists are always welcome and this had plenty to keep me hooked and wanting to find out what happens next. I’m always glad when I choose a book on a whim and discover a new author. If you like a bit of romance mixed in with some humor and magic, this should definitely be in your collection.

This was such an emotional read but I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and I’m glad that I decided to pick it up. Julie is the main character. She makes the decision to donate eggs to her brother and sister-in-law who are unable to conceive. Unfortunately the couple dies a few years later leaving the twins she helped conceive in her care. She must take care of them and when their uncle shows up to help with the care she is worried his help isn’t genuine. I enjoyed this story even though It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I’m looking forward to more by this author in the future!

Mr. Barsin’s Toy Emporium by Lois Wickstrom is a great little children’s chapter book. Again, this is another book that is a little different from most of her other works as it doesn’t contain any illustrations. It is also a much longer story. What we get is an interesting fantasy story with adventure, imaginary friends, paranormal creatures, friendship, action, suspense, intrigue, mystery/mysteriousness, imagination, drama, and a little danger.
What will we find at Mr. Barsin’s Toy Emporium- join Jack, Audrey, Nick, and Lily on an adventure they won’t ever forget…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Heart’s Rescue is the first book in the Heart’s Below/Fallen Hearts series by Meredith Hart. It is a wonderfully epic romantic fantasy- with an enemies to lovers theme, action, adventure, magic, danger, drama, monsters, fate, family dynamics, chemistry, steam, superb world-building, interesting characters, layers, banter, violence, emotion, and more.
As I have come to expect from Ms. Hart, her rich, detailed and descriptive writing easily brought her world, and all the characters, to life- and quickly grabbed my attention and pulled me into the story where I got to experience all the action and developments right alongside the characters.
The story hooked me right from the beginning and held me in its grasp the whole way through. I got quite lost in the story (in a great way) and I didn’t want to leave, even when I had devoured every last word. I can’t wait to see where we go from here!
Meredith Hart has done it again with this fantastic start to her series, because if this book is anything to go by- the rest of the series is set to be even more awesome! Bring it on!
Highly recommended!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Meredith Hart!

The Truth About Myths (The Winemakers)The Truth About Myths by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

First, can we just take a minute of really appreciate this gorgeous cover- so beautiful and romantic.
The Truth About Myths is the third book in The Winemakers series by Giovanna Siniscalchi. As with the rest of the series, this is primarily an historical romance with a bit of an enemies to lovers element, secrets, agendas, pushing boundaries and proprieties of the day, politics, duty/responsibility/obligations/expectation, emotions, mystery, cultural details, chemistry, spice, and a touch of danger.
Even though it is the third book in the series, it could be read as a standalone if you wanted, without feeling like you are missing anything, as each book in the series follows different MC’s. But having said that, the individual stories are really wonderful in their own right, and well worth the read, too.
Again, this book has such a unique identity and flair that sets it apart from others in the same genre. Set in Portugal in the 1870’s, the author sets the scene beautifully as she expertly weaves a tale that transported me through time and space. Her writing is rich, vibrant, detailed and descriptive- which made this book a joy to read.
Looking forward to more from this talented author!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Giovanna Siniscalchi!

What We Never Say: Empowering Contemporary Women's Fiction (Bold Journeys Book 2)What We Never Say: Empowering Contemporary Women’s Fiction by Paulette Stout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

2.5 – 3 Stars

 

What We Never Say is the second book in the Bold Journeys series by Paulette Stout. It is a women’s fiction story with drama, angst, sensitive subject matters, emotion, and more.
Rebecca and Kyle’s story continues from where we started in book one, so I recommend reading the first book before starting on this one. This book gives us a deeper look and understanding of Kyle which was lacking in Book One. I thought that knowing more about him would help me connect better with the characters and their story, and while I appreciate their story and can ‘feel’ for them and what they have been through, I am still struggling to really connect with them and become invested in them and the outcome of their story. But I will wait to see what Book #3 brings, and hopefully things will just finally ‘click’ for me there.
Happy Reading…

Tears Into Gold by Cori Cooper is an original and fun fantasy story that has a definite fairytale feel to it. I got the ‘vibe’ of several well-known and loved fairytales from this story, such as Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and the Emperor’s New Clothes. It gave the story an extra element of intrigue and mystery that I really loved.
I have read and enjoyed all of Ms. Cooper’s books, and this was no exception. I Can’t wait to see what she does next.

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oooo, the goosebumps. This is the first book I have read by the incredible Meredith Hart, and I cannot wait to read more of her work. With a guaranteed Happily Ever After it makes the book so much more rewarding seeing how much they overcome and how they reach that happy ending. Dual perspectives of Rowan and Arryn.
Rowan is a sentry in the Lands Below, the screams of his neighbors draw him out into the night to find his fatally wounded older brother Phaedron. Using his “freak” magic Rowan saves his brother by doing something Charay has never seen done before with magic. Arryn is a high-born lady of the Kingdom of Summer in the Worlds Above. Her unofficially betrothed Prince Folwynn went missing while trying to travel to the Lands Below and back to rescue his sister’s heart. After a talk with her older brother Petya, she decides she is going to take out some of the chance and go find the prince herself in hopes of getting a proper betrothal to him. Rowan finds the monster that killed three of his neighbors and cut off his brother’s arm, delivering him to the Royal Guard of the Crystal City, only after giving him a good beating and taking the solid crown he wore. Arryn succeeds in escaping her mother’s watchful eye to go find her prince, when darkness begins to fall, she uses her magic, for a simple moment she relishes in the feel of the warmth before the voice of shame crashes into her mind by way of her mother’s voice. Rowan takes over the day patrols of the Outer Ring, while the Void Beasts patrol at night. Until she falls into the void…. changing everything. No longer a pawn to her mother’s “plan” she begins to see the pain it caused and the lies she saw as love and affection. Rowan sees light and finds a warmth he never expected to find in the void.
Will Arryn succeed in finding “her” Prince? How do they find the happy ending they deserve? The world the author creates is so in depth, each place has pieces throughout the book that build more on the world as it expands during their travels. While this may be a fantasy book the characters are complex and relatable. They surprise you repeatedly in their actions and keep you on the edge of your seat as you search for the happily ever after. I can’t wait to start book two, Hearts Lost, to learn more about Aloserin.

As a fan of Sarah J Maas, I really enjoyed this book. Arryn and Rowen’s chemistry was palpable and such high intensity. They clash a few times because they come from such different backgrounds, but overall I really liked it! My only problem was there was some errors in the text that made things a little difficult, but once that I got passed them, it got easier to read. Arryn having to go to the Frozen Lands Below to rescue her prince, and Rowen being asked to escort her, neither one is too thrilled. But as the story progress, they both realize that the other person is nothing like they would seem to believe!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. We start out with Aspen and Phoenix agreeing to a fake relationship for a conversation with her parents, which did not go well. These two hooked up at a summer party and now Aspen is pregnant. These two have an attraction between them that is intense. Phoenix was getting on my last nerve with some of the things he would do or how he would react. These two needed to get their things together and see what was in front of them. Of course Aspen had jealous girls to deal with at times as well.
Overall I really enjoyed the book. The characters were great and seeing characters from previous books was great as well. We get lots of twists and turns and my emotions were all over the place. And the cliffhanger ending, ugh…I need the next book asap. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started on this book/series. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This story has many themes – family, identity, survival, and sacrificial love. But the hook is the relationship the reader develops with Julie, Lucy, Mikey, Grant, Zach. How does one come to find themself in order to save those they love?

I definitely enjoyed reading this book. There was so much drama in the book but it was soooo good. Ethan and Olivia had chemistry right from the beginning. Too bad Ethan didn’t check all Olivia’s boxes for what she looks like in a guy but technically he did. Hence where the lies come in. Guys should know by now, no sense in hiding the truth. It always comes out before you let us in on it. Olivia and Ethan met in a coffee shop one day when Ethan came to
Olivia’s rescue when she wasn’t seeing eye to eye with a guy she was set up with on a blind date. Ethan and Olivia kept meeting eachother every day at the same coffee shop and became friends until they decided, enough with the blind dates, he will be her plus one for a family destination wedding.
Ethan and Olivia actually end up falling for eachother until she realizes everything has been a huge lie. Will they ever have the chance to fall in love or will those lies be to strong to overcome?

This book is romantic, funny, and a wee bit spicy! Even though this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone. I’ve not been disappointed by a book from this author!! Looking forward to more!

As Though You Were Mine

This book is an emotional gut punch from the start. My heart broke for Lucy and Mikey and it make me think of my grandson which of course made me cry more.

Julie is not the first woman thrown into motherhood unexpectedly, but most women have 9 months to used to the idea, she had a day. Thankfully I have not been in this situation, but could definitely relate to the struggles of being Mama and doubting everything.

Grant is a dream come true. He was so present with the kids the day he met them. He got to know the kids, Julie and himself and learn so much.

I loved this book. I binged the last half of the book while laying in bed. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep until I knew what happens.

Heart's Rescue (Fallen Hearts)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked this book on a whim and wasn’t disappointed. The author has great world building skills. She creates a place you absolutely want to visit. Her characters are well rounded and well thought out. I enjoyed the romance in the book and the HEA was a nice ending. All in all I would absolutely recommend this book if you love fantasy and romance!

Me and my daughter loved this book. Eee-aah went to school with shirl so she could hear stories from the teacher. And everyone got to learn about constellations and their names. I love at the end how there are actual constellations so we can go out at night and try to find them!
