Fiddle and Fire by Ariella Talix was my first time reading a Historical Romance. The story is a MMF that takes place in 1850’s San Fransico. Our story begins when two best friends, Walter and Isaac meet the newcomer in town Suzette. Suzette and her brother Pascal moved to San Fransico from France. At first Suzette tries to push her attraction for Isaac away as she believes he is rough around the edges. She finds Walter a much more Gentlemanly suitor. However, Suzette could not have predicted that she would be the spark that would ignite a long Kindling romance between the two best friends. Together the three of them go on a sweet journey of finding love with just the right amount of spice. It all comes crashing down when someone from Suzette’s past slips in from the shadows to ruin it all. This cute and sexy romance is beautifully written. I devoured this book in one day.

Noah's Not So Super SummerNoah’s Not So Super Summer by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Noah a typical normal kid is looking forward to spending his summer in The Super Youths Program which would give him popularity, respect, and maybe days without being bullied., but after an incident involving mutant rats, he is doomed to work all summer with his dad in maintenance or clean-up of these types of accidents. What a total bummer! He is rescued from a bully by the girl he so desperately loves and in turn finds out that she is a Super but nobody knows but him. Noah begins his investigation into this world of mutants and with the help of his new super friends, they learn the secret of the mutants and take it on themselves to stop the destruction of Lincoln City. Such a great book full of fun, mystery, and a few mutants that have invaded the city causing havoc for Noah and the super summer he had planned. Great characters and well developed plot with twists and turns made this book a pleasurable reading experience and I highly recommend it to all tweens and teens looking for a read that shows we are not as simple or normal as we think we are!

Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 8th book in the Madeline Dawkins series. I honestly can’t express how amazing this author is. Every book is unique and gripping and no 2 stories or cases are the same. I do recommend reading this series from the beginning to give yourself a complete background of the main characters and to help you better understand the position they are in now.

We are back with the Private Investiagtors with another 3 cases to work through. The first case involves posion pen letters that start arriving at Monte Verde retirement complex. Someone is threatening to expose the residents past and secrets but for what purpose? What could a group of retired old people have to hide?

The second case is the help a woman get evidence of her Husband’s wrong doing to fight him in divorce proceedings. Everything about this story feels too close to Madeline’s past. Is this husband just as evil as Madeline’s was? Is the clients life in danger? And can Madeline protect her while snooping around for evidence?

The 3rd case is a case of a missing woman. After leaving home to join a religious cult Alison realises it isn’t what she thought it would be and so she escapes. Now she’s on her own and no one knows where. When her father enlisted Madeline and Mike and their PIs to track her down they start on a trail neither of them expected.

This book is full of secrets, deception, revenge and twists and turns which keeps the reader gripped. I love these stories.

A Spot of Earl SlayA Spot of Earl Slay by Aubrey Elle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery novel, and was hooked from start to finish. Naomi Front and her teenage daughter Ella, move to the small town of Fayette, looking for a new start after an ugly divorce. However, they didn’t expect to find the corpse of the local busybody Yasmin LeFluer in their storage shed on, day one. Whilst waiting for the police to arrive their new neighbours, Barbara and Ingrid welcome them into their home, and over Earl Grey and biscuits they learn the gossip about the locals. Apparently, Yasmin will not be missed as she was extremely nosy and made plenty of enemies, making the list of suspects a long one, including her ex-husband, her sibling and even her friends.
As if adjusting to a new home isn’t difficult enough, the mother and daughter have to deal with the aftermath of having a murder victim in their shed. Whilst Ella seems keen to team up with Barbara and Ingrid and discover who murdered Yasmin, Naomi struggles to settle in. With the case dragging on and the murderer still not caught, Ella and Naomi worry that they might be in danger. This gives Ella’s ex-husband a reason to stir up trouble regarding custody of Naomi, and so along with their tea loving neighbours they try to solve Yasmin’s murder. This is an enjoyable and engaging, easy, lighthearted read, with an intriguing storyline and plenty of plot twists which kept me happily turning the pages. The characters are wonderful and the setting really came to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the storyline.

Garrett and Olivia get the second chance at romance that they should have had. Garrett has gotten a reputation for being a putz with the ladies in the band (the guy’s gals). They aren’t too fond of him. Now Garrett has found Olivia and is wanting to win her back. It’s a long road for them but to watch them work on it is kind of a redeeming road. You are glad to see what happens. A romance that will have you feeling the emotions and enjoy seeing old faces in the story. Entertaining and fun, serious and romantic, a definite must-read.

I found this to be an entertaining story. It did remind me of Harry Potter in some ways. It does have a fresh and original way in other ways. The characters, especially the brothers, have such a tight bond. This makes their adventures kind of exciting. I found the whole book to be exciting when looking at it from a child’s stance. It’s got that sense of adventure and fun that kids are looking for. I loved the suspense between the parents and the doctor. It’s a good book.

I found this to be an interesting story of teen angst with a touch of mean girls. Cecily is just trying to achieve her dream. Right from the start, she’s dealing with drama. I found the story to be fairly relatable. You could feel her anxiety and trust issues. I found the characters to be well-written. You could feel the emotion, their personalities. I felt like it could have been happening right there around me. The plot was well-thought out. This is a good YA novel and a quick read.

This is a fantastic short story book to read and/or have children read. These are encouraging stories that really do help young ones look at things with new perspectives. I read these with my grandson. Our favorite was “Tonight is the Night.” He is autistic and some nights its hard for him to sleep alone. This story really caught his attention. We are working our way through the book for the second-time (oh, yes, this is a favorite obsession now. 🙂 ).

This is my second book that it had me on my toes. I can’t believe Madeline was so clever and had ways to get to the bottom of things. Madeline is one tough cookie but it seems like she had her own secrets as well or that only me…
I love this book because it has action coming from everywhere. This type of book that keeps you in the story is one of a kind.
I am curious though how the Author Cynthia came up with this story because every page had its own secret and the more I read the more I had to reread to put the pieces together.

I seriously loved this story. Little sister is blind so big sister is describing what a monster would look like. The descriptions are vivid and the colors in the illustrations are my favorite which makes this my favorite book by this author yet. The ending will grip your emotions and just melt your heart like the Grinch’s. Ooh, such a sweet and cute story. I look forward to new stories from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book kept me turning pages and sitting in the edge of my seat. It starts with an attack at work leaving the leading female character injured and unsafe. Then some stranger swoops in and tries to protect her. He has secrets of his own. The two together try to navigate things with their powers while keeping them a secret. All while this is going on there is another attack. This attack brings in another male character and causes some tension between the two leading men. They have to figure out who to trust and she has to figure out if she can trust either of them. This is a great beginning to a new series and I am thoroughly looking forward to what happens next. This book will leave you turning pages to see what happens next. It has everything that I look for in a book; suspense, action, paranormal characters, and angst. This book is written in multiple POVs and I feel that it adds different views of things happening in the story. It is a really well rounded book that is a very quick read. Also this review was difficult to write without giving things away in the story because there is so much I want to share but don’t want to spoil all the feels that you will get while reading this book.

If anything I am a little sad I didn’t start from the very beginning of the series however I will definitely be going back to the beginning of the series and reading more. I am sure you will be hooked from start to finish just like I was. With so much happening and so many secrets and lies to untangle you will be turning page after page as quickly as you can in order to get answers just like I was.

Unexpected Entanglement (The Echo Series, #3)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Echo series and I loved it!

Wanting to prove that she is capable of running her family’s inn, Rowan Kelley is determined to turn things around for her cousin’s wedding. Things change when she meets Chris Sullens.

Planning on just staying for a day, Chris Sullens finds himself helping Rowan with the Inn. He finds himself faking to be her fiancée and helping her with the Inn.

I can never turn away from a fake relationship trope. I must admit that this is the case of don’t judge a book from its cover. The cover is cute but I never would have imagined that this was the story written between the pages. A plot that hooked me from the first page.

There are other novels in this series so I will have to go read them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amy is twelve years old when they kill a man.

With the help of a shifter, they run to the human world where they learn to camouflage themselves but soon they are discovered.

It is time to fight and stop running.

The cover and plot caught my attention. Amy is a fierce and fearless main character and I really loved them.

I don’t read a lot of stories where the main character is trying to build an army.

This book does a great job of incorporating world building with the other elements such as suspense and action.

There are a few options for love interests and I love the slow burn enemies to lovers.

I didn’t know there was LGBTQ+ representation when I first started reading so it was an added surprise that made me love it more.

I saw there were two prequel stories so I probably should have started with those first before reading the main stories. I feel like it would have added some details as far as why certain events happen. But I do plan on going back to read them.

I was really hoping there was a sequel book cause I really want to know what will happen next.

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm

A River of Crows is a Crime Thriller that is packed with revenge, suspense, drama, mystery and so much more. This is my first book by this author and I’m a fan already. This is full of suspense and the twists and turns had me turning the pages on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. There’s so many layers to this story I was pulled in from the beginning and found myself lost in the pages. I lost all track of time until I finished. This story a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride with all the different things going on and all the emotions the characters are feeling. There was a couple spots my emotions were all over the place. This story touches on Mental Health , trust and PTSD. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to accidentally give anything away. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This was a new author to me and sometimes you just never know what you’re going to get. I am glad I gave Ms. Gluhm a try with this gripping murder mystery tale because I could not put this book down.

We start off cryptically with a water scene and crows but never truly knows who is exactly speaking to us. Then we find out about Ridge and how they suspected he died but never actually recovered the body. Could that be the voice that started off the story? Sloan is hitting a rough spot in her life with her divorce coming to a close and now her mother checking herself out of her facility. Sloan returns to the town she grew up in and the place where they lost her brother. However, she gets more than she bargained for when things regarding her brother’s death don’t add up. Add in another boy’s body being found and Sloan is on the case to solve exactly what happened to her brother. Unfortunately, what she unravels will shock the entire town.

This book is an amazing read that lets you know when secrets come out, they can’t be taken back. It was a gripping read from start to finish and left you trying to figure out exactly what happened. Some characters you love and others you love to hate which is the telling of a great author. I now need to go read her other books because she definitely knocked this one out of the park.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Afflicted Love is the first book in the Rhythm & Heart Series by Autumn Sand. This is a heartachingly emotional MM contemporary romance with dark elements that could be considered triggers for some readers, so if you have triggers please read the TW before diving in.
This is a superb second chance romance with damaged MC’s, past trauma, chemistry, sizzle, heartbreak, drama, betrayal, and pain. It is a short story, with a great pace, so I was easily able to read it in one sitting.
This isn’t the first book that I have read from Ms. Sand, and I have loved every one, because she is a wonderful storyteller- but this is definitely one of the more memorable ones, for sure.
If you love captivating romance, wonderful characters, MM leading characters, engrossing stories, and plenty of emotion- then you will definitely want to snap up a copy of Afflicted and dive right in!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Autumn Sand!

Hang on to your hats here folk because this story packs an emotional wallop. It depicts topics that are quite graphic and confronting – especially for those with triggers. So be aware of that before embarking on this raw second chance romance.
Raising Elle is the first book in The Sweet Valley Series by S.E. Reichert. And as I mentioned, it will break your heart, then put the pieces back together again. It is a wonderful small town, second chance, western romance with cowboys, ranching, challenges, hardship, secrets, family, friendship, pain, emotion, forgiveness, hope, and the healing power of love.
Elle’s return to her hometown has been a long time coming. But she has been harboring a huge secret and hopes this move can be the fresh start she desperately needs. But what happens when she encounters her old high school sweetheart, Blake? With unresolved feeling still simmering between them- things take a bit of a complicated turn. What happens makes for a heartfelt read.
What a great start to this new series. Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, S.E. Reichert!

The author did a magnificent job in this book with a balance of not getting into the gory details but leaving you to your imagination. She has a penchant for not describing a room a character walks into but adding details here and there. I loved that fact as a reader. I don’t need pages of descriptions. The story itself will keep you guessing and your emotions flying. If you haven’t read this story or this author, she is a MUST and if she continues to write books this good, she will be a best seller soon.

After 20 years Sloan Hadfield is still trying to recover from the death of her brother. It seems like she has come to terms with it, but she is in the middle of a divorce when she gets the news that her father is about to be out of prison and her mother is being discharged from a mental facility. She has to face her past by going back to her hometown where it all went down. Her brother was never found so she had always wondered if he truly was out there living a good life like her mother has been saying. When another young boy turns up she is determined to get to the truth no matter what. A lot of secrets come out and everyone will be shocked when they finally hear what truly happened. Will Sloan be able to reconcile the past and the present?

I loved this book! I especially loved the characters in this story. I could relate most to Julie’s character. Having experienced burnout as a mother and wife, I could sympathize with what she was experiencing. I was amused by her addiction to diet cola as caffeine and motherhood often go hand and hand. I had mixed feeling about Michael’s character. At first, I didn’t like him, but warmed up to him by the end of the book. The twin girls remind me of my own teenage daughter. I wasn’t prepared for the emotional roller coaster I experienced while reading this book. Sometimes I cried, sometimes I laughed, but always I wanted to read more of this family’s story. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

I honestly don’t know if I can put into words or how to explain this book. This book is written from a teenager’s point of view on what she went thou during the war. This book was filled with so much emotion from pain, fear, love, protection, horror, survival, and so much more that you could feel these coming from the pages of the book. The author is such a strong will woman and telling her story really makes you praise her for her strength to be able to tell her story of everything she has gone thou. This book made me really think about the mundane things in life that I never would have taken for granted while she was fighting to survive this war. This book had me turning pages in anticipation to know what was going to happen next and to see how they were going to get thou the whole situation.

I loved this dark paranormal romance that gave me all the feels of magic, murder, greed, pixie dust, twists and turns. This novella is short, easy read that really packs a punch and also the author and her creative mind and story-line is top notch!

René is feeling guilt driven all over the passing of his twin sister, unexpectantly and trying to cope, feeling alone, and would love nothing more to solve his sisters murder. When another body is found in the woods, like his sister, he vows to determine whom is capable of these heinous crimes. When René sees this beautiful fae woman in his dreams, little did René know she becomes a vital part of trying to solve these murders as well. When Belladonna and René team up, all heck breaks loose…with more magic, witches and also the love that Belladonna has for René .

Will Belladonna and René solve the murderous crimes before it is to late?

This is a fun, fantastic ride of a read and I highly recommend this story!
