This book is a casual exploration into nuclear weapons and its history. McCarthy provides a captivating historical insight and easy to understand language all to understand. From the Manhattan project to Broken arrows to Doomday to the future. The reader can read all about nuclear progress. I found the history fascinating as I wondered how nuclear fusion was invented and by whom. This was definitely an interesting read!

I absolutely love reading Wickstrom books! Always so interesting, fun adventures and keep families engaged in the new stories! Stories focus on friendship and kindness mixed in with eager curiosity to learn something new about who they are interacting with as well as knowledge of the fascinating world around them. In this book, an alien Eee-ahh meets new friends and goes to school with them. At school, the alien teaches the teacher and school mates about where he comes from and what he calls the constellations. Same ones they have learned of with different names. It is great for children to learn to appreciate how the same world to others may have different names and find common ground. Love reading this one and cannot wait to read more!

Cruel Hate is the 5th book in the Hidden Valley Elite series. I am sooooo hooked on this series, and am always happy when another is released. Especially since the author is queen of Cliff Hangers!! This book shouldn’t be read as a stand alone, as it continues from the previous books, picking up right where Cruel Start left off. We continue the story of Phoenix and Aspen, as they try to navigate their difficult situation. Both are trying hard not to end up like their parents, even as they find them self in the same situation. I love both characters, as well as the supporting characters. The close knit group that Phoenix has with his brother, cousins and their girls friends is very sweet and realistic. Aspen quickly became a protected member of their group and fits in perfectly. Now…. please hurry in releasing Cruel Love so I can see how this ends!

Annabelle is a rock n roll fan, and attended a Balefire concert 2 years ago. Attending a rock n roll concert requires dressing for the part, so Annabelle dressed in sexy lace and tight leather, and it ended up paying off – she had the best night of her life with band member Dakota. She left the next day and convinced herself she made it all up, knowing Dakota was a ladies man with many notches on his bedpost. Dakota expected the same, but has been surprised ever since by thoughts of her and imagining he was able to find her again.
Fast forward to now, Annabelle was asked to be in her friend Clio’s wedding – who happens to be marrying the drummer from Balefire, Jack. She had never expected to see Dakota up close and personal again, and was sure he couldn’t possibly have remembered her – until she catches the fire in his eyes as he stares at her and realizes he hasn’t forgotten her.
After a mistake on Annabelle’s part, she ends up with a management internship with the Balefire band with a guarantee of a scholarship in a leading program for graduates – if the band manager doesn’t succeed in getting her to lose her opportunity, first. Honestly, he’s a real jerk and has his sights set on ruining her opportunity in any way he can. He is obviously threatened by Annabelle. While she is protecting herself from the manager on one side of things, she is being sucked back in by Dakota on the other. While their scenes together are hot, there is a lot of struggling through their relationship because they refuse to speak to one another, and Dakota is constantly making crude statements about his past and never sharing any feelings for her. They had hot chemistry and scenes together, but it is a little hard to follow along with them being a love match when they are virtually strangers throughout the book and have zero communication skills. The band and crew look out for Annabelle and are offering some level of protection, which feels like it tells a lot to what they think about the two of them together.
I enjoyed this book and look forward to starting at book 1 to learn more about the rest of the band!

The beginning of the book has you in suspense as to what is going on at that moment and keeps you reading nonstop. This book is very well written and it flows really well. All the characters are very well developed which makes for a good story. The characters are also very relatable. I like how the author includes details that were in the first book into this one, it does make the book series interrelated which is all the better.

Lucky Break is the 2nd book in the Trentbridge Tales series. I did read the first one, but you don’t have to before reading this book. It is good enough for a stand alone, just with some cross over characters. This author writes good books and with a lot of thought put into them. They are like an episode of Law and Order, and keep the reader engaged. My one complaint, which I had with the first book too, there are too many characters. It is so hard for me to keep everyone straight on who is who and how they fit into the story. By mid way through, I had it all connected, but the first half I really struggled with it all. The mystery was maintained throughout, until the reveal at the very end. If you enjoy crime thrillers, I highly recommend this series.

Tears, so many tears, I needed all the tissues. This was such an amazing read. It caught my attention from the beginning, and never let go. Tragedy struck this family, and all their lives changed. This is an amzing example of the true and genuine meaning of love and family.

This fast-paced read wasn’t quite what I was expecting. While touching on many tough subjects (including a volatile mother-daughter relationship, protesting for a cause, and incompetent city officials), The Mothers Threat falls short of the expected thrill and suspense. The focus seemed to be mainly on Violet and Daisy’s barely veiled by love hostility toward one another rather than the impending threat posed by the protesters. There were definitely some moments where I questioned whether Violet would be able to remain professional in the face of her mother’s insensitive, selfish, criminal actions. The storyline also felt a bit disjointed, like some elements, such as the anarchists trashing the town, were thrown in without much reason behind it. Overall, a quick read that left me wanting more than what was there.

We love bringing these books home because this author is amazing! We are also a bunch of stargazers, so it was quite fitting for us. I love that we continue to learn about Eee-ahh and Shirl. They learn about all of the different constellations which I absolutely love! The illustrations are fabulous and definitely add a bit more to the story. My kiddos are 7 and 11, and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. It even started an evening of laying outside on a blanket and seeing which constellations we could find. We also may have made some up as well, so it was a memorable time. I highly recommend picking this up and share it with the younger ones in your life!

I’ve read several children’s books by author Lois Wickstrom and each one encompasses a great tale along with a fun learning moment for the reader. Rocketship Made of Stars is no exception as it is a fun story about Shirl and her alien friend who has traveled through the stars to visit her. The reader gets to learn the names of stars and constellations along with what Eee-ahh, the alien calls them.
This is a beautifully illustrated book by artist Nicolàs Milano. The colorful, engaging illustrations help you visualize the story and make it come alive for the reader. Ms. Wickstrom’s books continue to be great reads for my family and myself.

Wonderful second chance contemporary romance story that I really loved. This is a new author to me and I was excited to jump right in and start turning the pages. When We Fell again gave me all the feels that I love about reading romance…….angst, second chances, spark and sizzle and the emotional roller coaster that this story of Jordan and Alexis go through.
Jordan and Alexis knew each other years ago during their time at the university…but jealousy leads into a total break up that left each of them in different directions. When Jordan and his band are now up touring again after a long break…..their new tour manager is none other than Alexis. The reunion of Jordan and Alexis at first is a bit cold….still thinking about their hurt past and their break up. When Jordan sustains an injury and Alexis has to help monitor medication and keep him on track…. past truths come out that are not easy……
Will Jordan and Alexis’ love for each other come back…or will jealousy come between them again.
Definitely read and find out!! I really loved this story and I am looking forward to more from this author!

This was such a good story. I was really captured from the beginning. One phone call can change your entire life, and for Julie that call gives her the news of her brother and sister in laws passing but also that she was named guardian of her twin niece and nephew.
We watch as she learns to navigate parenthood and the bumps along the way that not only kids bring but life too since it doesn’t stop when tragedy happens.
I felt a connection with Julie early on and my heart broke for the kids and all they are working through. I wasn’t expecting a couple of the bombshells we encountered along the way but I felt they would help along their journey. Will be reading more from this author.

Born to Die (The McIntire County Series Book 2) by Winter Austin. I am loving this series and I can’t wait for the next. This author is quickly becoming one of my very favorites. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order to get to know all the characters. This is Cassy’s story. Cassy is a Deputy in Elder, Iowa and there is a new case that is creating havoc in town. They are going to have to call in Special Agent Boyce Hunt to come back to Elder to help with the case. Cassy is not happy with that because Boyce broke her heart to the point she doesn’t think she will ever try again. Due to Cassy’s past she is very shattered and that past left her broken to the point she never wanted to try again but she trusted Boyce and gave him her heart and all he did was love her and leave her. Boyce has demons in his past as well, such as his mother is a criminal, and he doesn’t want Cassy to get hurt by that. He loves Cassy but knows she deserves better than him. Will he be able to convince Cassy he won’t hurt her ever again and will they be able to find the criminal before more murders occur? Read this wonderful romantic suspense to find out!

This was such a cute and fun read. I read it with my daughters and they both loved it. Great way to engage in subjects about science and constellations. Loved this because it made such a fun time with my kiddos! They love to read just as much as me so we loved spending time before bed to read a couple books! This was one of their favorites. Highly recommend.

What an amazing story. I love the “rock star” trope. I instantly fell in love with Lex and Jordan. They have history, but they also have this amazing chemistry they can’t deny. This was well written and I am eager to read more books by Julie Archer. She truly knows how to build a world I enjoy getting lost in. I connected with her characters and just didn’t want to put this book down! Highly recommend!!!

This is another great book for kids by the author, the second in the I am an Alien series. What I love is how it makes learning about constellations fun and easy for young children, keeping them engaged in the fun story as they learn. The story itself is fun as well as educational, and the illustrations are bright and keep the younger kids engaged. The constellation facts are accurate and displayed in an entertaining and creative way making it easier for children to learn. I am never disappointed by the author’s easy and simple writing, making the harder aspects of a topic more accessible to the kids, and there’s always a chance for the adults to learn something too! If you’re looking for an enjoyable and educational book about constellations, this is the book for you!

I enjoyed this book and I think it will interest many kids. It will be especially interesting for those kids who enjoy watching the stars and dreaming of exploring them someday. The book had a lot of interesting information on constellations and interesting concepts about how children can have fun renaming them based on their own imagination. It is a good book and I recommend it for children who love to explore and learn new things.

Oh wow. So, this is the first book I have read by Terri Sabol, and it was a lot heavier than I expected, especially for a book aimed at 5–11-year-olds. Having lived through this exact scenario I found myself choked up and shedding some tears as I finished the book. While this book uses a stray animal that a family took care of the emotions were very strong and while I think this book is beautifully illustrated while shining light on a very difficult topic it was hard to read because of the intense emotions of having experienced the loss of a pet to euthanasia. Charlie and Abby felt the pain of this cat that they took care of it keeps it slightly lighter than the full intensity of what it would or can be like if it was their own.

Once again, beautifully illustrated. This book picks up after the first one. Eee-ahh is on Earth with their new friend Shirl and asks about school, when they find out Shirl goes to school to hear stories Eee-ahh decides that they want to go to school with Shirl. At school Eee-ahh shares the names they have for the stars and learns about Earth’s names and stories for them. This is a quick read that helps get kids more interested in looking up at the stars and not at a screen. Very cute and informative book that leads to hours of learning with your little ones looking at the wonder of the stars.

This is again another great book by this author that helps young kids learn. I like how this author is able to bring science to kids and make it fun and interesting to learn. I really wish that my children were younger but I know that I will keep this in my library for the future when I eventually have grandkids. The author really has a very unique writing style that makes harder subjects easy for kids to learn and comprehend. I will definitely recommend this to anyone with younger kids who want to introduce them to science and get their interest peaked.

OMG OMG OMG that cliffhanger will be the death of me! I don’t know how Isla Vaughn does it, but she has a way of pulling you in, twisting you all around, and leaving you gasping right at the very end. I never know what’s coming next with her work, but man, do I love the way she keeps me on the edge of my seat. I need these characters to have a happy ending like I need to breathe.

The last thing Blake wants is to become a nanny, but with her savings diminishing following the loss of her previous job, she will take whatever she can in order to get herself back on her feet.
She just so happens to accept the nanny job for Morgan, who has a little girl.
Morgan has a history of being a bodyguard to high profile people and after some time, decides to open a company based on protective services. With the custody battle with his ex, he comes to the conclusion that he needs a live-in nanny and hires the sister of a friend. He didn’t expect that his daughter would like her so much, let alone did he account that he would like her as well.
The story is short but it is worth reading. If anything, it displays the many and different forms that family can be. And how you find what you need, when you least expect it.
I have not read the previous book in this series and though they can be read as standalones, I plan to read more by this author.

This book is one of my favorite listens of the year. I have read and listened to many of this authors books. It is always a treat. This story is short enough to listen in one setting and it kept me entertained while I was flying home. The narrators Devon Grace and Troy Duran are new to me. I look forward to more from them. They really brought the characters to life.

This story was a heartwarming contemporary romance. It is book 2 in the North Fork Series but you are definately able to read it as a standalone. The author does an amazing job with the characters, making them realistic and relatable. The chemistry between Morgan and Blake is captivating and with the addition of Morgan’s little girl it really warms your heart. Morgan is a single dad. After working as a security guard he now has to fight to protect his own daughter from his ex who is toxic and only wanting her daughter for her own gains. Needing help to care for his daughter Morgan hires an nanny and that’s where Blake comes in. Blake is down on her luck after losing her job. With no way to pay the bills she needs to find work and fast. Being a nanny definately isn’t the plan she has for her life but needs must. When she arrives she makes it clear that it’s just a temporary thing that she has plans to leave. But what happens when Morgan and his beautiful little girl work their way into her heart. Will she be able to walk away from them and will Morgan want her to?
This story is full of sexual chemistry but also love and emotion as Morgan and Blake learn to navigate this situation they find themselves in as well as care for Morgan’s daughter and fight a custody battle to protect his daughter. Both of our main characters have flaws and quirks which make them unique and charming in their own way. They both have things to work through but by giving into their attraction will this make them stronger or will it just add more drama and angst to a already tricky time for them all.

Cruel Hate (Hidden Valley Elite Book 5) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Jessica Stone
First off, if you haven’t read the book before this, go back and read Cruel Start, and if you have the time the other few books before this one. Ok with that being said, these books are soooo good, they have me in a choke hold. I’m not super big on sports romance that take place heavily revolving around said sports, and this book has the perfect amount of sports romance and enough angst, heat and drama to keep it fun and entertaining for me.
Phoenix is my best and worst nightmare, he just wants to do what’s best for him, his twin, mom and cousins, to have a good life and succeed, but man, he can be such a moody butthole about everything. I’m in love with his kind protective nature, that he rarely lets show besides to those closest to him and I hate how he hides so much behind the angry macho guy thing. His character development for me in this book was wonderful to see, he’s blossoming. But he still has some growing to do.
Aspen, Aspen, Aspen, my starving little pregnant artist. Aspens one unlucky girl, the night she decides to lose her V card she gets pregnant, jezze. Pro girl can’t catch a break, all she wants to do is pursue he passions with her sister and go to college, a relationship and unexpected pregnancy is the last thing she needs.
So what does this author throw into this mix, a fake relationship, yesssss start the popcorn and buckle up because it’s a bumpy ride with these too. I’ll warn you though, unlike with Cole and Damon, Phoniex’s book is a slow burn, but like the other books in this series, this story ends with a cliffhanger that has me dying to see how she ends out Aspen and Phoniex’s story. Please give this series a shot, seriously, you will not be disappointed.

This is book two in the I Am An Alien series. I like the cuteness of the alien and the friendship with Shirl. It’s cute how the kids at school all the alien a bunch of questions. The constallations map is a great conversation starter about the nigh sky. I didn’t know Hercules was a constallation. There are pictures of different constallations throughout and at the end of the book with additional information. I have read several of Wickstrom’s books and they are entertaining!

I love this author and this book was no exception. Violet started her own security company. Their first big client/project looks to be in jeopardy. The real question is can Violet separate family and work and survive the downfall?
Providing security for a company that is at the frontline of a protest that no one in town is taking seriously. Violet quickly discovers her mom is in town and helping with the protests! Will we see the downfall of what is remaining of their relationship?
This book contains crime, family drama and suspense. It was hard to put it down because I needed to know what was next.

5 Star’s Ignite My Heart (North Fork Series Book 2) by Alicia Street
Ignite My Heart is the second book in the North Fork Series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that is heart breaking yet heart warming at the same time. I loved everything about this book from the amazing developed characters that make the story feel so real. This authors style of writing is simply amazing and her characters are real fully developed and relatable. I got lost in the pages and read it in one sitting. Blake and Morgan literally stole my heart with this story. Morgan is in desperate need of a Nanny for his nine year old daughter. Blake is in desperate need of work,her savings is dwindling down faster than she cares to admit and is desperate for a job. These two have great chemistry and attraction between. Sometimes love finds us in unexpected ways and times. Can these get the ending they both deserve? This story is packed with drama, family drama, love and so much more. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This was very much a riveting read. I am not particularly scientifically literate, but this book definitely gave me a crash course in the lead up to the nuclear arms race. I felt the author did an amazing job of taking such a complex subject and breaking it down into such easy to read sections I felt confident that I was able to understand what he was writing about. This book definitely had me feeling a sense of both awe and fear for how much damage has been done with nuclear weapons. If you are looking for an easy to read, but fairly comprehensive book on nuclear war, this is a great book to start with. The book has a giant list of references as well, that would be great follow ups.

As someone who lost a loving pet to cancer, this brought back some memories. As an adult it made me emotional 🙂 this is a great read to teach younger kids about losing a beloved pet.
