My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was drawn in by the synopsis of this book and truly looked forward to reading a novel with paranormal elements. I tend to gravitate toward a lot of the same authors so I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book, since this author was new to me. Not only did the storyline exceed my expectations, I was really impressed with the author’s writing style. What I enjoyed most, however, were the main characters. Each character was written in a strong way and truly enjoyable. I was also surprised by the range of emotion the story held. There were a lot of entertaining complexities, far more intricate than the “campfire ghost story” I was anticipating. This is definitely a book I’d recommend by an author I will be looking out for.

Stars Like GasolineStars Like Gasoline by Jessika Grewe Glover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book that I read from this author and found it to be enjoyable. This paranormal mystery has it all – ghosts, romance, danger and more!

The plot was intriguing and the author balanced suspense and humour well to create a great story. This alongside a collection of well-developed characters made the story really stand out to me. I loved it!

Events and characters are woven together so well in a way that isn’t always obvious. The ghost element drew me in at first, but the connections in mystery elements blew me away.

I was very invested and couldn’t put the book down. I’ll be looking out for more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute book. A look from the other side of the woods. The animals give their perspective as to what human life looks like from their point of view. Cute and informative. Also a lesson on being aware of your surroundings and listening to what your parents say. My 3 yr old nephew loved all the pictures and we named all the animals and he sat still for the story so I call that a win. Thank you, Feather Chelle, for such a cute book.

I really enjoyed reading Stars Like Gasoline! This was the first book I’ve read by this author, so I was pleasantly surprised by the complex characters and incredibly detailed world-building. The author expertly combines past and present creating a magnificent flow of the story, as well as a very realistic experience for the reader. I find that most stories only dive deep into one character and the rest support that one, but this book really developed each character incredibly well! I plan on following this author closely because their writing style is nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend picking this one up, especially if you enjoy romantic suspense with a major paranormal theme.

Wow. Usually, MM books aren’t something I get invested in, but this book had me begging for more. Autumn has a way of writing a world where you feel like you’re watching the story take place around you. I didn’t want to leave the world. The obvious love these two share for each other is undeniable. No matter how they try to fight it, it’s there. They’ve been through hell and back, and it’s a battle to make it to where they end up. You wont regret reading this book. I promise.

An entertaining read with an intriguing storyline and a host of fascinating characters, which kept me captivated throughout. Florida art curator, Celia purchases the house of her brother’s deceased fiancé, only to find that its haunted. In order to get rid of the malevolent ghosts who are threatening her life and career, she enlists the help of Oscar, her brother and Adrian, his late fiancé’s best friend. Celia discovers a hidden journal from the 1980s belonging to a revered artist, and this is the start of a series of events which involve a dead French artist, a Dutch aerospace heiress, and a missing presumed dead Japanese painter. Things take a sinister turn when Celia and Oscar are threatened by a stalker. Meanwhile, as Adrian and Celia spend time together deciphering the clues they cannot deny their mutual attraction. However, they get the feeling that someone is playing a game with them all and their lives might actually be in danger. This is an enjoyable and engaging read which drew me in from page one. The setting and characters where brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline had a mix of paranormal, mystery, suspense and a slow burn romance, which kept me happily turning the pages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

KG does it again and again. Breathless Love is another wonderful friends to lovers romance tale. There has not been a story that KG has written that I have not fallen in love with. Hank and Ella’s story is one of my favourites.
This sweet story is filled with fun, passion and pain, struggle and loss, drama and tragedy, pain and heartache.
The chemistry is off the charts, and it is sexy and steamy.
A magical rock star romance story with the southern charm of the small town of Langston Falls and a look at the music world.
What more could you want with music, family, love and great characters.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers so grab a copy and fall in love all over again.

This is a new to me author and I really enjoyed this book.
Eleanor or Elle, moves back home without warning running from her husband with bruises both visible and not. Her family welcomes her home with open arms but also wants to help her gain her confidence back.
Being back home in her small town brings her face to face with Blake, who has his own issues.
When Elle becomes his new “boss” they push each others buttons and build each other back up in the process.
I liked the interactions with everyone in this story, yes even Ty despite what he did. I felt connected to this story but I did not expect that twist in there so great job to the author on that one. Hope we get to see more of this town.

It was imaginative and so interesting. The combination of characters the author introduced fit perfectly. I could easily visualise what was going on from the writing.

It has been a while since I read a book from this author and as soon as I picked this book up I couldn’t understand why I had waited so long. This book is everything I have come to expect from this author – a fantastic story, brilliant and engaging characters and chemistry on almost every page. It took no time at all for me to connect with this story and before I knew it I was finishing the book in one sitting.
These characters were made for each other. They have such a deep connection and I loved to see it develop throughout the book. I was behind them the whole way and couldn’t wait to see how things would work out between them. This author really does know how to create fantastic characters. This is a fantastic book and I would highly recommend it.

The author brings you right into the heart of the story right away as we meet Kyle and Lyle and learn of how immediately intense the connection is between them. Honestly my thoughts of their home lives were so sad in that they grew up in such extremely tragic situations. But in the midst of everything, they have each other as brothers. As the story unfolds, we learn that the bond between them is much more than brothers. I was intrigued by their connection and the way they tried to hide it even though it was evident. This was a really well written book! I highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable and engaging story involving the Bennett’s of Langston Falls. This contemporary romance can be read as a standalone story, however having read and loved the previous books in the series I recommend reading them all! This is a friends to lovers romance which takes place in the small town setting of Langston Falls, which is once once again brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. Hank Bennett’s dream is to be a country music star, but following the breakup off his band he’s at a crossroad and is wondering whether to continue with his music, or working on his family’s farm. Attending the hometown concert of his country music idol, Travis Miller changes everything, when he meets Travis’s award winning songwriting sister Ella Mae.
Ella Mae invites Hank to join them on the tour and their mutual attraction is obvious and their chemistry leads to a passionate night. However, her famous brother becomes jealous and Hank starts to think that as a wannabe musician, he’s not good enough for Ella Mae. Meanwhile she’s dealing with the darker side of fame with her brothers drug and alcohol addiction. I loved Hank and Ella Mae and their chemistry really sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. I enjoyed how their relationship developed throughout the story, and liked their hayloft serenades. I felt both immersed in the story and engaged with the characters, and was cheering the couple on to a promised HEA.

It’s awesome to be able to relate to someone else who loves The Beatles just as much as you do.

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Liza Snow’s book Obedience had me at the edge of my seat from the first page! There are so many twists and turns, that you never know what’s coming next. I love the characters and the deep understanding that you get from reading Chandler and Cassandra’s points of view. Right from the start I was cheering for Cassandra to get her idol, the magnificent, high-flying Chandler, the master of the silks. I loved the push and pull that these two characters went through, the sexual tension could be cut with a knife as they go back and forth as they got to work together and get to know each other. No matter how much Chandler tried to deny his desire for Cassandra to protect her, the more she wanted him. The more he tried to push her away, the stronger the sexual tension grew. The setting of the story is so beautifully portrayed that I felt like I was right there watching all of the circus acts as well as all the practices with the silks, on the edge of my seat praying no one fell, or had any mishaps. I kept wondering about Cassandra’s mysterious past, and her Uncle who was in prison. What is Chandler hiding in his own personal past that he is trying to protect Cassandra from, and why does his father hate her so? Could their pasts be connected deeper than the two realize, and if so will they ever be able to have their happily ever after? You’ll have to read the book to find out, I’m not spoiling it for you! So excited for the next book in this series to come out in October, the wait is killing me!!!

A Curse of Ash and IronA Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris is a fantastic story of curses, magic, and a great twist on the classic Cinderella. I loved the character development, as I got to know Benjamin (Ben) Grimm and Eleanor (Ellie) Banneker starting in their childhood. These two were an inseparable pair, hiding out in Ellie’s attic, and constantly getting up to mischief, until the day that Ben’s mom got fired by Ellie’s terrible stepmother for no known reason. Several years later Ben happens to see Ellie, both all grown up, in a theatre that his Dad ran and employed Ben in, amongst other jobs Ben had, all dressed in a beautiful gown and accompanied by her stepmother, Olivia, and her stepsister, Rebecca. As the two reconnect, without the knowledge of Olivia and Rebecca, Ellie is shocked that Ben recognizes her, which she will explain upon their subsequent encounter. Ben is unbelieving of Ellie’s story that her stepmother has cursed her and her father, believing more in the mechanics of things, that he can physically see or touch. As the story progresses, Ben comes to the realization that Ellie is correct, now will they be able to work together to break the curse that Olivia has cast upon Ellie and her father before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, or will they be bound in their fates forever? I absolutely loved this steampunk version of Cinderella, the geniusness of making Ben a mechanical genius who has a knack for the illusionary just adds to the mysteriousness of this amazing story. This book had me reading straight through from beginning to end, excited to see who would persevere, the evil stepmother Olivia, or our wonderful heroine Ellie.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book of short stories is a winner for me. This is a book for children but absolutely can be enjoyed by adults just as much! Each little story is a vibrant lesson about what it means to be brave. This would be a wonderful tool for parents or guardians to read along with their little and create a dialogue around each story and its message. This book includes great storytelling, and at the same time, keeps the stories short enough to keep hold of little attention spans. I definitely recommend this book of stories for any child or even any adult. The messages are universal and span the ages. Five enthusiastic stars.

Stay For Me (The Balefire Series Book 5)Stay For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the Balefire Series even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. However I do recommend reading them previous books as the characters are in all of the stories and you will be able to understand all the characters and their stories.

This story follow the bands manager Garrett and Olivia.
Garrett and Olivia have a past. They were young loves but their relationship fell apart when Garrett choose to follow the band as their manager instead of staying with Olivia. Olivia was left hurt and heartbroken but she pushed forward in her life.

Fast forward and Garrett made his dreams come true, he manages one of the most successful bands ever but he can never get Olivia out of his head.
Olivia has done well for herself too. Her determination means she owns her own production company. When Garrett contacts her to produce the next music video for the band she is filled with loads of emotions. Why does he want to see her now?
As things progress Garrett realises she is the one for him and he is determined to win her back. But is it too late? Can Olivia forgive him for what happened all those years before? Even though the attraction between them is still there and strong can too much have happened for them to work through it?

This story is a steamy read. I wasn’t a fan of Garrett in previous books but after reading this i can understand the things that lead him to be the way he is today and the way he was with the members of the band and their ladies. I can understand Olivia’s reluctance and determination to not be hurt by Garrett again. It took her so long to rebuild herself after he broke her heart the first time.
This story is a rollercoaster full with past heartbreaks, trust issues and hope that they can overcome all the odds to get to their happily ever after.

Breathless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #3)Breathless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breathless Love is Book Three in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. This story focuses on Hank, who dreams of being a country music star, and Ella Mae, who is a songwriter for her famous country music star, Travis. Hank was in a band, but they did not share in his dream, so he is now trying to figure out whether to continue pursuing his dream or work on the family farm. Hank meets Ella Mae purely by chance when he goes to her brother Travis’ concert. She invites him to go on tour with them and as they spend more time together their attraction grows and romance blooms between them.

This was an exquisitely written, wholesome contemporary romance with vivid scenes that fully immersed you into the storyline with the characters. The characters were wonderful, and I found them to be lovable, relatable, and easy to root for. Hank was old-fashioned, sincere, kind, smart, ambitious and it was refreshing to see how much in love he was with Ella Mae. He will do anything to protect her and be there for her as she struggles with her brother’s drug and alcohol addiction. Ella Mae is sweet, kind, sincere, driven, smart, and talented. She loves Hank and wants to be there for him as well even through her own struggles. The two share a mutual love for music which is the starting point for a romance between them to bloom from friendship to mutual attraction, to unconditional true love. A beautifully written love story with downs that will have you reaching for the box of Kleenex and other moments that will leave you breathless.

Talks Like Thunder (Red With Native Blood Book 1) Audiobook by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter – Review by Cindy Mayberry

/0 Comments/in , /by

This was a hard story to listen to. I generally don’t listen or read historical stories. But this one caught my interest. I am happy I took the time to listen to the story. A story told by a young child of seven. Talks Like Thunder is a remarkably strong young child who had to grow up fast. Her family had been taken from her, then a strange man comes along claiming to be her grandfather. Taking her to a new reservation, where she knows nobody. But that is just the beginning for Talks Like Thunder. Her story is told well and the authors knew their history. While this story was heartbreaking. I felt like I was sitting close by watching and listening. The authors, while new to me, I will be looking for more from them. I am interested to see where they take this series.

Hank is a sweet, sweet cowboy that is the best kind of heart you could hope to find. The story is both heartwarming yet tragic. Faces from the Bennet family pop into the story (I sure hope we get Becky’s story, too). I love this author’s writing. It’s real, relatable and you feel the writing. I smiled, laughed and cried with them, tears of pain and joy. This is a beautiful story that will take you behind the scenes of a musical artist’s life. Gritty, yet if can be romantic. Oh, this is one of my favorite authors and this series will be joining my library. Absolute beauty.

Country music romance
Book 3 of The Bennetts of Langston Falls brings us Hank and Ella Mae’s story. It’s a composition made in country heaven. The writing is brilliant and draws you in, and I quickly became vested in the characters. It’s dual POV, which I love, and there is drama, romance and tension that keeps you turning the pages. This can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s worth catching up with all the Bennetts. Recommend.

ObedienceObedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cassandra has waited all her life to be a top class aerialist, studying with the best in the industry, Chandler Moreau but can fantasy and reality match up. Once she has passed her audition she is embraced in the world of the Circus, with friends who knew her parents but one person is her obsession and curse as your hero’s are never quite the same.

Chandler Moreau is stuck in the illusion of a perfect life on the outside but a tortured soul on the inside, with his father’s and family pressures all he wants to do is fly in the circus. Until one day she walks into his life and plants herself deeply in his soul but will his dark family history and her thirst to find who killed her parents come crashing down around them and drive a wedge through them in the end.

I enjoyed the story and the characters within greatly, they way it built up the tense was brilliant to read. The chemistry between Chandler and Cassandra was palpable off the page and during the Shibari scenes where erotic in description and wording.

The one regret is I feel the story dragged a little at the start and took a while to build with the relationship between the two main characters but other than that I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read more by this author in the future.
