Clearly, this book is “meant” for elementary and middle school aged kids. I however, a full grown woman, thoroughly enjoyed this book. The magic and adventure included in this story is captivating. There are also relateable life experiences too that kids may relate to. My 6yo is at a 4th/5th grade level and I believe we will be adding this to his homeschool reading list! I think he will enjoy it. I hope there are more.

Small – Review by Crystal Brehant
OMG! I never wanted to shake two characters so bad. They just needed to stop guessing and actually talk to one another. Not that it was cool what Theo did to help keep Mattias and Ava apart. It was not.
Ava and Mattias were in love but they didn’t know it and everyone around them conspired to keep them apart. Starting with Ava’s father, who said they could never be together. Then Mattias’ father, parroting what Ava’s dad said but adding his own flare. And Theo, his brother and her best friend added to the plot to keep them apart. I can almost forgive Theo because he thought he loved her as more than a friend.
I was not expecting the massive twist. That was not very nice. But then things had a way of working out. I hope that Mattias learned how valuable each brother truly was and started a better relationship with each.
If you are looking for an emotional rollercoaster with some steam, this is for you!!

What an adorable and informative story. This is a great story about a stray cat who shows up on Oscar and Emmy’s door step. The kids feed the cat and soon, more show up. As the story contiues on, their mom tells them about TNR. At the end of thte book, there is a very informative, detailed page all about TNR. I read this with my 6yo son and he enjoyed the story and learning about strays.

4/5 stars I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I wanted to read the 2nd. I did like it, I just enjoyed the first book more. I’m not sure why, but the writing in this book seemed a little more historical than the first. The good thing about these books is that they can be standalone reads.

This is one of my favorite genres to read! I love stories about growth and finding yourself. I thought I knew where the story was headed but I was wrong. At least about most of it. Some of it I was right about but it did not make it any less amazing. I read this book at the right time. I needed it somehow and plan to read it again. I absolutely love how this story is written and I love this author style. Liz has so much growth and I loved every second of it. Learning about her grandmother’s life with her made me not want to stop reading until I reached the end. Of course then I did not want the story to end. And Mark, don’t even get me started on Mark. The overwhelming patience he has is so sweet. This is such a great read!!!!

The 4th book in this series and the 3rd one I read. I missed book 2 somehow, but I digress. Love Shots was a great addition to the series, but even so book 3 is my favorite. The characters the author has written across the whole series are wonderful. Each book brings the main focus to two of them. This is Teddy and Summer’s story. Their chance at forever. Best friends since they were kids, these two always kept their true feelings to themselves. Both characters left home, yet now they are back. And they’ve run into each in full force. With their emotions running wild, will they finally admit how they feel? Will demons from their past threaten any potential future? Both characters have secrets they’ve never shared with any of their family and friends. Can they get the courage to share with one another? This book as mentioned is part of a series, but it’s very much a standalone as well. Would I read it without reading the others for sure! But I bet you’ll want to go back and read the other’s. Me? I’m going to track down book 2… lol

This was a good 4 star read. The author pulls you right in with her writing. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. My emotions were all over the place, and had several LOL moments. Autumn has always wanted her grandfather’s bar, but gets a surprise when she returns home. She is very upset with Teddy and definitely lets him know it. There is something about Autumn that Teddy has always liked. When he finds out she is in danger, his protective instinct kicks in. WIll he finally get a chance to show her his true feelings and keep her safe?
Overall this was a good read, I really liked this couple and their story. This can be read as a stand alone. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. If you’re looking for a good read and series, 1-click and get started today.

5 Stars Love Shots (Bluestone Series Book 4) by Isobel Reed
Love Shots is the fourth book in the Bluestone Series and is a Friends to Lover’s/ Contemporary Romance that once you start reading its hard to stop until you’ve finished. I’ve read other books by this author and this one may be my favorite yet. Its got everything I love in a good small town Romance, a ex navy seal and a feisty woman who wants what she thinks belongs to her. Teddy bought her grandfathers bar, she finds herself going back to Bluestone to find it had a new owner. The chemistry between them is hot and steamy. There is definitely an attraction between them. Throw in an ex into the mix and things get interesting. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give anything away. I definitely can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Of course, the girls get blamed for the fire but neither one committed the crime. This action-packed book comes with lots of angst, anger, frustration, challenges, sex appeal, and chemistry. It is a fantastic book that is part of an excellent series. I can’t wait to read other books by this great author.

This is a very cute book that can help kids learn how to count from one to ten. The illustrations are cute and well done. I love the fun educational tidbits at the end. There is also a cute song that can be downloaded included. Great book to get a child’s attention and to keep it while reading.

Grab some tissues because you are going to need them with this book. There is some talk about grief so a little trigger warning for you.
It’s been a long time since I have fully fallen in love with a story and cried my way through it. This one had me feeling all kinds of emotions.
Ava and the King brothers have grown up together since she lives on their Estate. Her father works for their father. The brothers and her experience losing their moms and growing into adulthood together. The oldest Matthias has been anything but nice to Ava all these years. Theo and her are best friends and he always jokes she’s going to be Mrs. Theo King one day.
The dynamic between Ava and the oldest King brother changes when they are stuck together during a snowstorm several years ago. Fast forward 5 years and they discover that his dislike towards her is all because he was told by both fathers to steer clear. Even though he really didn’t want to.
Now Ava and the brothers are all back at the estate because the elder Mr. King is dying. When Matthias spills the secret he and Ava have shared all these years to Theo. The real test is can Theo and Ava repair their friendship? Will things change between Matthias and Ava to go back to those 2 snowy nights they had together? Will grief pull them apart?
I could see this book playing out as a movie the whole time I was reading it. It did not disappoint and as the first book I’ve read from this author I am now HOOKED!

This is a first read for me by Toya Richardson and I was hooked from the beginning! There is suspense, romance, plenty of steam, plus heartache, and supernatural elements. Told from both Antoine and Donna’s perspective, this dramatic story kept me on my toes throughout the book. Toya Richardson uses such vivid details in her world building that I couldn’t help but find myself transported to the ocean-view home of Antoine or feel the exhilaration Donna felt while experiencing her new world. The characters are all original, realistic (even if many of them are supernatural beings), and rather likeable. This is the second book in the Hybrid Lovers Series but I was able to read this as a standalone and did not feel as if I missed anything by not reading the first book. Finishing this book, however, makes me want to read the first! Amazing supernatural romance by Toya Richardson!

This book is a heartbreakingly beautiful story. Parts of it are ripped from today’s headlines. The author gives a nod to various conspiracy theories. The main characters, two siblings along with their cousin, must use a science experiment to help a relative. The ending is happy-ish, with an important lesson about the way life works out sometimes.

This is a bit longer than the typical Lois Wickstrom book and is geared more towards ages 7 and up.
In this story, Xenia is living with her mom and brother. Xenia’s mom is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. Her American father died while serving in Iraq before he was able to marry Xenia’s mom. Both Xenia and her brother are legal US citizens.
Having fear for being deported, Xenia’s mom rarely allows the kids to play outside. They also are expected to make great grades but not so good that it would bring unwanted attention to them. When a science fair project arises with a pretty cool reward, Xenia has to be careful with how she presents her project. Before she can turn it in however, her mom is arrested and sent back to Mexico. Xenia and her brother are living with a local lady from a church group and have to try to find a way to spend as much time as they can with their mom.
This book focuses on a great many issues that arise in our country today. This book is sad, yet encouraging. It is written in a way that could explain some of these issues to a youngster, while incorporating some aspects of fantasy to keep it on a lighter note. I also picked up on a few new spanish terms throughout this book.

This book was an amazing adventure story! Reading to the littles before bedtime and they absolutely loved it. So much so that we ended up reading the whole story in one night. The time travel off a carousel ride was a great way to transport the magic. The way Russel struggles with school and home had both my children ready to jump into the book to defend him. Grandpa was an adorable old man. I would highly recommend this book to other middle grade readers. My littles and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. A new bedtime staple in this home!

Love shots was a very good read for me. I’ve read others by this author and this will not be the last. I enjoyed reading about Summer and Teddy and their relationship from when they were younger. I loved the way they were with eachother. Couldn’t wait to see what happened between them. Definitely recommend this book along with others by this author.

Complicated Choices by Risa Nyman is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Complicated Choices brings us the story of Claire and Harry. Clair is a senior in high school and Harry is her unplanned, fatherless four month old brother. Clair puts aside her needs to care for her brother during a very difficult time. Instead of focusing on high school and college, she finds herself raising her baby brother while her mom is hospitalized for postpartum depression. Amongst it all, her Uncle Pat is trying to take Harry away from them stating he would be better off being put up for adoption. Clair will not let him rip apart their family no matter the costs.
Complicated choices is full of……well, complicated choices. Our main character Clair is strong, resilient, and determined. She is faced with numerous confrontations not only with her Uncle but with friends who had no idea she had a baby brother. Clair is exposed to secrets and lies by the people she should trust the most. Clair finds her first love and has to put those feelings aside to focus on what matters most right now, Harry. This novel is a perfect example of how teenagers in today’s society are expected to grow up way too fast for all the wrong reasons. This was my first time reading a novel written by Nyman and I was extremely pleased. The story line made perfect sense and flowed well with just the right amount of detail. The characters were all lovable and had me rooting for them the entire way. I would not hesitate to recommend this novel to a friend. Definitely a five star rating from me!
A wonderful adventure story for young adults. The main character Russell is relatable and you can’t help but feel everything he’s going through. His father drinks to much, his grades are slipping, he’s responsible for watching his aging grandfather while his mother goes to work. He’s lost his bedroom when his grandfather moved in with the family and now is stuck in the basement where its damp and dreary. Every day Russell must take his grandfather for a ride on the carousel, something which Russell feels is so babyish until that one day when something magical happens. The stories his grandfather used to tell have come to life in this heartwarming tale.

Small – Review by Kimberly Filer
This is the second book in the Olympic Peninsula series. I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one to get a deeper background on the characters and their connections to each other.
Liam is a character I took an interest in in the first book, as despite not actually meeting him properly he was featured heavily. It was thought that he may have been dead by most, but his sister firmly believed him to be alive. Getting to know him in this book was interesting, pieces together what I thought I knew to what is revealed started filling the gaps in knowledge, answering questions I’d had since the first chapters of the previous book. Liam has certainly been through and lot but remains strong despite this and his mistrust in people, he remains caring. I loved Teresa in the first book, she was so sweet and welcoming so I’m glad to see her get a shot at true happiness in this book, she truly deserves it. They both do. Their story is a sweet one, slowly their opposites attract.
The descriptive language once again paints vivid imagery of both the scenery and characters, creating a world you could almost step right into.
This was another enjoyable book in the series, and I look forward to reading the next one in November.

Ian is a vampire Prince from Atlantis. Protector of humans. When Atlantis sank, it had a prison filled with all kinds of monsters. When one escapes, Ian has to go to the surface to hunt it down. It had been years since Ian had been to the surface and struggled with how women dressed and acted in this time.
While on the trail of the monster named Norgis, Ian comes across a scent of a woman, named Katherine, that compels him to her instantly. He ends up following her trail instead. Soon he finds out that whatever Norgis is after, this woman seems to be involved somehow. Finding Katherine near death, Ian decides to take her to safety and heal her. Norgis is not known for his intelligence so Ian thinks there is someone else pulling Norgis’ strings.
A few days later, Katherine awakens and has no idea where she is or who this handsome man is in the room with her. When the memories of the attack flood back in her mind, she realizes that this man saved her. She tells Ian what she remembers and what the monster was after. Instantly, everything changes. The descendent stone is a very powerful artifact and now someone has it. Ian needs to find it before it is used all while protecting Katherine who he has now considered his mate.
At first, I thought the relationship between the two characters was going to be stockholm vibes but it’s not. Katherine is a strong, independent woman who isn’t afraid to voice her thoughts and feelings. Ian is out of his element with this female. Although he is swoonworthy, she holds her own and demands to be treated as an equal. I loved that about her.
I have read a couple other books by this author and they have written a masterpiece once again. The synopsis is quite unique and excitable. I have a lot of questions about some of the background things that were left unfinished but I expect they will be touched in the next book in the series (which I will be reading as soon as it comes out!).

This historical time traveling book will be loved by kids!! I am an older adult and enjoyed it immensely. Russell is not happy when his grandfather moves in with his family and things begin to change. Add to that a bully and an abusive drunk father and Russell begins failing at school. But, one day his grandfather shares something magical with him and things begin to change. Such an inspirational book!!

Marluck was once a paladin, but after making the mistake of not listening to his God he broke his oath. Without his powers he turned to booze. Until he stumbled upon oath breakers anonymous, people in the same boat. He hears rumors of being able to gain his powers back. He sets off with a few other oath breakers on the journey to hopefully restore their powers. They find there is more to life than just power.
If you play DND ( or just like fantasy) read this beautiful story about redemption, adventure, and a little betrayal. Oathbreakers by Scott Warren is an absolute masterpiece. A book that makes you sad it is over. I was so engrossed in the story and characters and fell in love. I hope to see more of this rag-tag group or individual stories of their backgrounds.

Derek is the owner of Wilson Creations, a fashion house that has him traveling all over the world. Derek returns from his holiday early to find his new assistant. Something about Melinda rattles Derek and he wants her gone. Melinda has a back bone that Derek never saw coming and once he gets to know her he realizes he wants more. Will Melinda share the same sentiment?
This was a fun read, good chemistry between Derek and Melinda. I liked the fashion design angle which only heightened the believability of the story. Looking for a entertaining quick read this is one to pick up.

Cruel King by K.M Scott is a wonderful second chance romance. Ava has been best friends with Theo King for her whole life. Living on the family estate as her dad is employed by the Kings she has been around the family for as along as she can remember, when she unexpectedly finds a connection with the eldest King brother over a snowed in weekend she thinks things are finally changing. That is until she is ripped away from all she knows. When she returns 5 years later everything has changed, most notably her relationship with her best friend but more so with his eldest brother, who is not as happy to see her return. I really enjoyed this story, it was enraged at times as the main characters were misled by those around them but in a good way. I felt that some parts felt a bit rushed but overall found this to be a very enjoyable read.

Rogue Wolf is the third book in the Protector Wolf series. It picks up where Marked Wolf left off with the destruction left behind by the vampire attack. The shadow clan must rally together to defeat the vampire threat and get the blood opal back. Tamaska wants to become a wolf and part of the pack, but questions arise on if this is even possible. The ending of this book is worth the read and finally, it left on less of a cliffhanger than the rest of the series. I will be patiently waiting for the next book to come out.

I cannot say enough amazing things about C.L. Schneider! Fortune’s Favorite is the second book in the Soulbound Journeys. I also recommend reading The Crown of Stones Trilogy first. I absolutely loved this adventure of Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane. It picks up after the events of The Wandering Isles with both of them continuing the Shinree’s ancient journey. At first glance, Maldarehm is a prosperous city without war or struggles. Though Ian has an uneasy feeling about the island and its inhabitants. Ian searches for clues on the island’s past while Jarryd gets wrapped up in gambling where the stakes increase drastically. The growth that Ian and Jarryd go through in Fortune’s Favorite makes the impact of the story much more chilling. The layering in this story and the bond between Ian and Jarryd make it impossible to put the book down. I cannot wait to pick up the next book by C.L. Schneider!

L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna
The author has written a book about something a lot of women have a problem with and think it is taboo to speak of. She does a good job with showing how Rebecca learns the truth about intimacy. After being put down for so long and being called an ice queen, she finally meets the right guy who will help her learn and feel comfortable about it. I couldn’t put the book down.

Mr. Lucky is a great book to read. I started reading it thinking that crime would take place and our main character, James, would have to solve it since he is an ex-detective. James’s story slowly is revealed in the beginning with him begging on the streets and how he got there. It is incredibly heartbreaking what he has been through and details his life trying to survive on the streets. There are many different points of view in the book that move the story along including Dave Rex who is the main opposing force in James’s life. Once James gets incredibly lucky is where the story starts to pick up and I didn’t want to stop reading it to figure out how the story would end. Mr. Lucky is a different book with a great emotional impact on the reader. I feel like Lee Wood is giving us hope and showing us positive changes that can make a difference in the lives of others.
