Ghosts of AldaGhosts of Alda by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book two to the series The Obscured Throne Trilogy, this book picked right up from the first book. This book is a dark horror fantasy in the land of Alda. This has multiple different viewpoints of each character; it goes thou their struggles to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. The rupture destroyed the world and the magical Aldyr trees. This book is filled with so much from suspense, drama, mystery, magic, secrets, danger that it will be hard to put down. It was so vivid like the first book it makes you feel like you are right there beside the characters, feeling, and doing what they are doing. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to know what was going to happen next. This book had me invested and intrigued till the end. Highly recommend reading the very first book. Cannot wait till book three.

Someone to Watch Over Me (Wounded Hearts, #3)Someone to Watch Over Me by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Wounded Heart Series. It can be read as a standalone however once you read one you will definately want more. This author has an amazing way of writing which allows the reader to feel every emotion, from happiness to sadness, from frustration and anger to complete bliss as well as love, flirtatious behaviour and heartaches that follow along the journey.

This is a friends to lovers romance which isn’t straight forward. For a start Angelo has always grown up protecting Lucia. He has never allowed himself to act on his feelings even though he loves her. You can feel his conflicting emotions as he trys to remain the protector and friend, the guilt of wanting her so badly battling with his responsibilities to protect her.
Lucia on the other hand wishes Angelo would stop seeing her as a little girl but see her as the woman she has become.
After a drunken night where she offers Angelo her virginity leaves her feeling rejected she decides to move on.
Fast forward and their paths cross again. Will now be the time when they are honest and confess their true feelings for each other?
Or will there be too much water under the bridge to ever make this work. Can love conquer all or will some obstacles be to much to overcome and any attempt to try may destroy their friendship.

This is a slow burn romance that deals with some difficult situations such as loss and miscarriage. It is a beautiful emotional love story

I found this book enjoyable, and at times hard to read, drawing you into the very emotional and hard hitting story of Benjamin. <br /><br />I feel the author spoke from the heart and with lots of empathy when telling this story; encompassing mental health, depression and the struggles that many people have when dealing with their sexuality and their family. <br /><br />Relationships are tricky things at the best of times but when you bring into it some forms of therapy, abuse and suicide then this book covers many things. And some may find it touches on triggers.<br /><br />Benjamin, his family consisting of a supportive but controlling wife, two children and best friend is a successful business owner, and should have everything to make him happy, but he cannot be himself until he has found himself, this story full of twists and turns hope and denial will keep you hooked and take you along for the ride to a possible happy ending.

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1): A Small Town Fake Relationship RomanceA Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1): A Small Town Fake Relationship Romance by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging second chance romance which had me happily turning the pages. Set in the small town of Vine Valley book one in this series introduces us to the Grasso family who own the local vineyard. This story focuses on eldest son Laurent, who twenty years ago made a pact with his best friend Phoebe that if neither of them were married by the age of forty then they should get married. She then disappeared and Laurent didn’t think anymore about it, until she suddenly reappears asking him to marry her. Phoebe never expected to be taking up her childhood friends offer but having reached forty, not married, and desperately wanting to survive another family event, she sees no other option. However, having had his heart broken by Phoebe when she left, Laurent has one condition, that she can’t fall in love with him. Phoebe agrees to a fake relationship but didn’t realise how hard it would be to not fall in love with Laurent. I love the characters in this story and the main characters Laurent and Phoebe have real chemistry. The descriptive narrative brings the small town of Vine Valley and its inhabitants vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story. I look forward to the rest of the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All teacher’s teach from their heart – no matter what. This is a cute children’s book about teachers. Being an educator, this book spoke to me. It is so correct to say that all teachers are different, but they all have one thing in common – they teach from their heart. I liked the illustrations in this book. The story is an easy read aloud- it has good rhythm and a catchy cadence.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Someone to Watch Over Me: A Forced Proximity, Childhood Friends to Lovers, Unexpected Pregnancy Romance (Wounded Hearts Series Book 3) (Wounded Hearts Romance)

I haven’t had the pleasure of reading the first two books in the series, but it wasn’t necessary to know the players and their background.

Angelo and Lucia have a very deep friendship sine they have known each other since her birth. He is her protector through her life and he is the first one she thought to run to when her world came crashing down.

I loved both of them so much and while I got frustrated with them, I also understood. They were willing to remain friends and nothing more out fear of not having one another. Jumping from friendship to a relationship isn’t always successful and ends up causing more pain than a normal break up would.

I laid in bed and read most of the book in one sitting which isn’t something I have done in quite a while. Unable to put it down and fall asleep. Worth every minute of lost sleep.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

A Teacher’s Heart by Melissa Lavi is a sweet, illustrated ode to teachers. It is a very short ‘story’, which makes for a quick and easy read. The illustrations that accompany the story are bright and colourful- and add extra interest to the whole book.
I think this book would be great to help take some of the apprehension out of meeting a teacher for the first time- ease the mind of younger readers who are just about to start school, or join a new class.
The story is cute and has a lot of heart- and as mentioned before, it is an ode to dedicated teachers who put their heart and soul into teaching their students.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Melissa Lavi!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m on the fence with this book. While it was good, it wasn’t great. I was waiting for an attention grabbing moment but it never came. While I liked Angelo almost entirely, his way of thinking is very strange when it comes to his feelings for Lucia. Lucia’s over-reaction to almost every scenario was overplayed as well. The end of chapter 17, I had to walk away for a few days and then attempt to engage in the story. Overall, Lucia’s BFF, Prisha, was the most honest and relatable character. I would have loved more scenes with her realism. I was hoping to enjoy this more and find a reason to rate higher but it was just an average story that kept me entertained.

A Way Out (Rock Star Book 2)A Way Out by Tami Lund
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

A Way Out is the second book in the Rock Star series by Tami Lund. It is a wonderful rockstar romance with plenty of chemistry, drama, angst, challenges, and emotion.
I didn’t expect to like this story as much as I did, I thought it would be a good palate-cleanser between ‘meatier’ reads- but proved me wrong on that front and was ‘more’ than expected. Ms. Lund surprised me with an engrossing story that had more depth and development than I was anticipating- and has left me with a taste for more and made me want to explore more of Ms. Lund’s work. Lucky for me, she has quite an extensive catalogue of work for me to binge through.
This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone without feeling lost, confused, or like you are ‘missing’ something. Having said that though- it has made me curious about what happened previously, so I will definitely be going back and reading the previous two books (prequel and Book #1), before continuing with the rest of the series.
The series contains:
-Before the Band (Prequel) – Sam and Holly’s story.
-Why Can’t We Be (Book #1) – Lacey and Parker’s story.
-A Way Out (Book #2) – Maria and Oz’s story.
-A Little Too Soon (Book #3) – Travis and Ava’s story.
-All Keyed Up (Book #4) – due for release in August.
Can’t wait to jump into the rest of the series now-
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Tami Lund!

Ladies of the Links #2 is the second instalment in the Ladies of the Links series by Haley Rhoades. This is fun, sexy contemporary romance with a single mother, a blast from the past, a huge secret, drama, angst, humour, banter, friendship, and emotion.

This was quite an entertaining read. I am enjoying meeting the Ladies of the Links and look forward to seeing what they get up to in the next instalment.

This is the second book in this series which is just as great and maybe a little better. I enjoyed this author’s books as I know I am in for a great romance story. I enjoy her writing skills and attention to detail that make her stories pop. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story about two people a little reluctant to open themselves up to romance. What will happen with these two if they do? I enjoyed how they pulled me into their world of romance and their one night. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and had me wanting to know what happens between these two. I enjoyed watching their chemistry and growth throughout. Don’t miss what happens with these two characters. I highly recommend this book.

A Teacher’s Heart is a sweet story of how all teachers are different. Melissa Lavi describes how teachers can be different in appearances, teaching styles, personalities, and gender. The best thing about the teachers though is how teachers all love real big because they have big hearts. I think this story will teach kids a lot about teachers and going into school. That it isn’t scary and they are safe. That teachers will love them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Master of Demise by Nadija Mujagic is a bit of a dark, chilling psychological thriller with plenty of mystery, suspense, drama, intrigue, twists, secrets, obsession, revenge, violence, betrayal, murder, pain, shocking developments, and more. It isn’t my first read by this author- but is definitely my top pick out of her stories.
This proved to be a thought-provoking story, and had me following along trying to figure out what was going on. And for the most part it was gripping. But it wasn’t as dark as I had thought, and I wasn’t quite on the edge of my seat the whole way through- but it was definitely intriguing, and had some gripping, twisted moments- but maybe just a little more predictable than I had hoped for. But, still worth the read, nonetheless.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Mujagic does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nadija Mujagic!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Toast to Laurent is the first book in the Vine Valley series. It is a second chance romantic tale and a good start to this series. Set in a new small-town, where everyone knows everyone, and everyone is all up in your business.
This small-town romance is an entertaining read even though it is a little predictable. A tried-and-true formula but it works. Theresa puts her own quirks and charm into the characters and the town and that keeps you coming back for more.
Theresa has written a wonderful tale that will have you swooning one moment and giggling at another as you fall in love. The characters are realistic and the chemistry between our main characters is sweet, sparks fly, and I love the witty banter.
She left and broke his heart now 20 years on, a fake romance and NOT falling in love has never been so hard.
I can’t wait to enjoy more of this delightful small town and its inhabitants.
I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a small-town romance!

Fetching Dreams is a book about 12-year-olds becoming pen-pals and learn about other cultures and lives. Worlds apart as one Neyah lives in a village in Kenya Africa and worries of harsh living conditions and one Abby in a modern city in Minnesota.
It is a heartfelt story aimed at middle school aged children where they get insightful lessons of tragedy and fear of change.
It is an engaging tale about bonding and finding one’s voice and speaking out to make a difference. It is about making connections no matter where one lives in the world.
We learn about plants and wildlife and the differences of people around the globe. We also learn that “Water is life,” for those that have to work for it and others take for granted.
Fetching Dreams is worth the read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ladies of the Links #2 is a second chance, New Adult sports romance story. I haven’t read anything by Haley before and was unsure where it was going to go with the golf references, but it did not disappoint.
The story is well written and it’s easy to connect with the characters. The group of friends made me laugh with their antics. Just like my group of friends and their carrying on.
It is a crazy, sweet and sexy tale with a little heartbreak and pain, hope and love, fun and laughter.
Christy thought it was love but he left them.
He loved her but he loved NFL more. Now he is back and hoping she will forgive him. But there is one thing he didn’t know.
Ladies of the Links #2 follows friends who make no apologies for the way they live their lives. True friends that have each other’s back when the rumour blog hits the hood.
A great read that will have you engaged from the beginning. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Someone to Watch Over Me (Wounded Hearts, #3)Someone to Watch Over Me by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book I’ve read from Debbie Cromack, and let me tell you, I am excited to go back and start at Book #1 in the Wounded Hearts series! This book was excellent, I was in awe at how much I learned about the characteristics of the characters in so little time. Debbie Cromack weaves a tight web between her main characters, Angelo and Lucia. I was rooting for them from the first chapter to be lifetime partners. The path that I was on was like riding a roller coaster ride, and I did not want to get off until I had my happily ever after! This is not your typical next-door neighbor book, but so much more. The passion I felt between these two characters was incredible, but boy they both go through so many trials and mishaps because neither of them are willing to admit their true feelings (unless alcohol is involved). This romance was a hot, steamy one with a twist that you would not see coming. Will Angelo and Lucia be able to overcome the mistakes of the past, or will it be too much too late? You will not want to put this book down once you get started, so be prepared everyone for a good read, with more than a few bouts of anger, tears, laughter, and of course, your frustrations at seeing what our characters are too stubborn to see.

Maria just recently left an unhappy marriage. Sure, she has money, but she has nowhere to live and no plan in place as to what she wants to do. She hasn’t worked the last several years because she hasn’t had to. Now she finds herself trying to figure things out and dragging her daughter along for the ride. She showed up at her sister’s house expecting to find her there to give her comfort and advice. The only thing is her sister is off planning a wedding that she is supposed to be at. She instead finds an attractive man in her sister’s house that she has never seen before. Oz finds himself in a predicament when the lady of the house’s sister shows up at the door unexpectedly. It’s in his nature to take care of those in need and she was clearly in need. They are both heading for a wedding in Louisiana and it’s a win-win for both of them. Maria doesn’t need to travel alone with a child and Oz doesn’t have to worry about his car breaking down along the way. When Maria says that she is willing to finance Oz and his band lines will become blurred. Now she is not only going to be a woman he is wildly attracted to, but she will now be his boss. What will happen? This was a fun story to read. The characters were likeable, but I will say that I couldn’t fathom not having a plan after asking for a divorce. Oz was amazing for taking on his sister’s children after such a tragedy. This story was well written and I look forward to enjoying the rest of the books in this series.
