Ocean's Three (Made In Heaven, #2)Ocean’s Three by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jocelyn, Cameron, and Reed have a special connection and for years they have been coming to one another talking and getting to know each other through their dreams. Although they all have the ability to see each other in their dreams Cameron has a special gift that allows him to know things before they happen. When Cameron has nightmares about the death of Jocelyn’s mother he keeps it to himself and becomes riddled with guilt when her mom dies. He feels that he should have been able to prevent it and protect Jocelyn from such a horrific loss.

After losing her mom Jocelyn is overcome with grief and pushes away Cameron and Reed and convinces herself that they are not real. When she is hired to photograph a wedding on a cruise to the Mediterranean, she cannot believe her eyes. Across the room is Cameron and Reed in the flesh but she is devastated to see them both with other women. Jocelyn flees from them before they can hurt her any farther. Cameron and Reed are not willing to let the woman they love get away from them again so they find Jocelyn and explain that it was all a misunderstanding. The rest of the cruise is filled with love, lust, and passion as the trio get to know one another better. Will their relationship survive in the real world once the cruise ends?

Another interesting story by this author who does not cease to amaze me with her writing on connections through dreams. The characters were wonderful and I enjoyed how the story unfolded between Cameron, Jocelyn, and Reed. Their connection initially started when Jocelyn was a pre-teen and evolved over the years. As they grew older their connection became stronger. They all knew from the first moment they met in their dreams that they loved one another. However, they had to navigate their own feelings and determine how a relationship as a trio would work. This book was filled with love, lust, romance, passion, anguish, revenge, and drama. A great read!

What Loretta’s Katydid Did (Loretta’s Insects) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

What Loretta's Katydid didWhat Loretta’s Katydid did by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Another enjoyable children’s book and I love learning something new even as an adult that this story of Loretta’s Katydid Did.

Loretta’s grandmother visits Loretta from Florida and bring her a present, a small orange tree. Loretta was so excited to learn about her new orange tree, espeically with the upcoming school science coming up. What was not expected were aphids on the orange tree, and they can be harmful, but Loretta loves insects, while her grandmother suggests to rid of them.

Does Loretta keep her insects to see what comes about to her orange tree?

This story is great for young and old. The only drawback a bit for me is the illustrations, I feel like they could have been a little more clearer detailed.

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) by Reggi Dupree – Review by Jenni Bishop

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book 1)Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Return to Hoodoo a magical story and is book 1 of 2 in the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue duo. What an adventure there is in this Paranormal Women’s Fiction and Reggi’s amazing writing skills. How have I not come across this author before? Mind boggles.
Hoodoo is a place with such a diversity of characters who are a quirky and unusual mix of complexity, multidimensional, multifaceted and dare I say all in all a crazy bunch of riff raff. With ghostly servants, uncontrollable relations, witches, cantankerous vampires, vindictive ex’s, werewolves, magic, a haunted house and so much more.
Reggie has given us a gift and one beautifully and skilfully woven tale with so many threads that you do not want to put down. It will have you laughing, on the edge of your seat and an ending that may just do your head in and a pinch of sadness.
I love that the MC is a little older than the norm and has had real life experience. Well real life for her in this unruly town.
It’s so easy to get lost in this crazy world of action, murder and mayhem where midlife does not look the same.
I love paranormal, supernatural, mysteries that are thrillers with a little romance.
I cannot wait to get stuck in to the next book.

This is book 3 in the uniquely quirky The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. This series is an unusually different Sci Fi fantasy adventure story with time travel.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was great to read a sports book about a sport I enjoy and watch. It made it much easier to get into as I felt like I already knew what was going on. I enjoyed the characters that were paired with this book. They both had some much baggage and a lot to try and work through. They had a great chemistry and just seemed to work so well together. I don’t really think I would class their ages as an “age gap” but it was still nice to read about a reverse age gap.
This book is a great follow up to the first and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see what the next book in the series is like.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What is there not to like about a book that has the Disney Fairytale feel to it?! This book was a fantastic fantasy read that I feel young readers would really enjoy! I mean come on there’s fairies, magic, adventure, evil villains, witches, and castles it has everything that the world of fantasy needs. The novel is being told from Zarina’s point of view; she is also the main character. Zarina is a spoiled princess, (like the evil sisters from Cinderella spoiled) with quite a bit of older siblings. And as tradition would have it, she is about to have very her own Royal Advancement. And being the spoiled princess that she is, she has to have the best, most extravagant dress that the kingdom has ever seen, and even though there are plenty of troubles brewing in the kingdom, the only important thing to the Princess is having this amazing gown for her big day! Deals were made, but like always, anytime you make a deal… it doesn’t come out the way you thought it would. Now, Zarina has to make a choice on whether or not she is going to come to the rescue of her family’s kingdom. Does Zarina stay the spoiled princess or does she grow up and fight for her kingdom? The only way to find out is to pick up the book and get lost in the world of Zarina and her kingdom.

Frozen by Lies (Sleigh Riders #1)Frozen by Lies by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Sleigh Riders series. I really enjoyed this fantasy romance. The author does an amazing job of bringing the story to life. The mixture of fantasy and secrets and danger with something as sweet as Christmas really makes this story unique.

This story follows the Frost and the Klaus clans. For generations there has been a battle between the 2 families. Neither one wanting to budge and inch. But what happens when a boy and a girl from opposite families realise they are fated mates. That’s what happens to Noelle Frost and Nikolaus Klaus.
Their romance is powerful and such a great read as it unfolds but is it strong enough to mend the rift between the two families? Or make the war between them even worse?
Add to this the secrets and lies that have been told through generations of the Frost clan that makes the females of the clan not realise the power they hold and this story really starts to heat up as the lies and secrets slowly start to be reveled.
This is one book that promises Christmas feelings, snow, hot chocolate and romance with the added spice of bikers, hidden magic and a romance that could heal or destroy everything around them.

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading and look forward to the next book in this series. This is a fun, entertaining story that has a little bit of everything in it. An engaging story where the characters are relatable and will keep you engaged throughout the story. I enjoyed how they pulled me into their world along with their twists and turns that kept me turning pages. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A story that will make you question the saying three times is a charm, in this case it may not be such a charm as it is just plain unlucky. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot as well as the characters throughout the story. This is a fun story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend it.

Another breathtaking book of this winning series. Book 4 is Will and Maggie’s story and it is a whirlwind of time-travel, suspense, deceit and romance. I found the story so exciting that I just jumped in and didn’t come up for air until I was done. Thank you, Kindle, for the reading app on my phone. I was sucked in and loved it all. The author gives it the authentic feel with the language and descriptions. The personalities of the characters are so well-written and well-done. I had to chuckle at the conversations of the ladies and the men. This was a thoroughly enjoyable story. I’m going to be eagerly awaiting more, I hope. If you like time-travel romance, this whole series is for you. I can’t recommend this enough. Another author on my favorites list.

This installment of the Harry’s adventures had me on the edge of my seat. I can’t really tell you much because it might just spoil it. At times, you feel you are right there with him experiencing his small world, teetering on the edge of his “cliff.” The story keeps you engaged and thinking as you follow along. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know what was going to happen next with Harry. I love Tristan and Elena but Harry is my favorite. He’s also our main character. Critter was an interesting twist. The story had a really interesting flow and ran smooth. I enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read what happens in his next adventure.

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Moriah Venable

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1)Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved the Hawke Family series by this author. When I saw there was a spin-off, I quickly got to reading.

This novel picks up 5 years after the events of Night Hawke. Isaac and Jack still think about the time they spent together and although Isaac tried to find her after, he was unsuccessful. Fate brings the two back together with secrets and identities now revealed.

While I did not read the prequel to this, I did not feel lost while reading. Reading Night Hawke would have given more character depth and background for the characters, making this more impactful but I enjoyed the story and romance overall. I do plan on reading it.

It did take me some time to associate the name Jack with our female heroine because I am used to it being used for male characters, but once I did, I found that I really liked the character and started associating her with the phrase ‘a Jack of all trades’ which I think kinda fits.

The author has a way of using suspense to grip you where you can’t put the book down which is another really why I love her so much. She quickly started to become one of my favorite authors. I may need to binge read some of her other novels while I wait for the next book in this series.

Your Trainer Says Hi!Your Trainer Says Hi! by Indie Sparks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone but there are some crossover characters so if you want to understand who’s who, read book one first. Both are good so you won’t be mad.

Nadine is doing well! She’s got her juice bar, her job, and her best friend. Everything is great! Until she receives a phone call that sends everything into a tailspin. Now, she has to confront soon to be EX boyfriend, Heath, and figure out how to keep the juice bar afloat. As payback, or to start, Nadine is stealing Heath’s personal trainer. She is sure Wick is not her type so she’s just going to get a couple months of sessions as reimbursement. That is until she finds herself in his hot tub and it all changes from there. Wick is honestly just what Nadine needs. Someone to be nice to her but also not so nice (when it counts).

Wick wasn’t at all what I was expecting but man is he everything! He was surprisingly nice (and that was important to him) but super alpha which is great! Nadine is strong and independent. She has a hard time letting Wick be nice but she comes around. These two have intense chemistry! This book was so good!

As the vampires search for the traitor to their kind, Master Calabrea is paired to work with Tansia; a human. The two share an attraction right from the start but fight hard to ignore it. Soon the two find that not all is what they think. Tansia and Calabrea cannot ignore what is between them forever. When danger comes for Tansia will Master Calabrea be there for her?

This is an interesting story that gives readers another look into the paranormal world that this author has created. Be aware that it is book six in this series and does end on a cliffhanger. I liked that Tansia is a strong woman who can hold her own and she is a good match for Calabarea. The two work hard at what they have and when evil comes to interfere Calabrea must make a choice about his emotions and Tansia. I enjoyed seeing the relationship build between these two as the worked together to defeat the evil that threatens them all. The author does a nice job of mixing the romance and action together giving readers a nice addition to this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fallen Soul is the fourth book in the War of Destiny Series, and it is just as fast-paced, full of surprises, and entertaining as the first three books. This book is shorter than the other books of the series, but still packs the same punch! Theresa Van Spankeren does an amazing job creating not only the world of the time period, but also the world of the vampires. I loved this book and its deviation from the perspective of the original characters, while also including them in the story. Much more information is learned about the vampires and some of the abilities that a select few of their kind possess. Valentino is still as evil as ever, and focusing his effort on not only hunting the members of Samuel and Julia’s ka-tet, but also hunting the rogue, Lane Marlow, whom he believes to be a threat based on his unusual powers. Overall, Theresa Van Spankeren delivers more great characters and wonderful world building that I’ve come to associate with her writing!

Her relationship with Jeremy has matured over the years, and I am happy to see her stick to her own personal morals and feelings. The ending was perfect, wrapped up all the cases and could be a good ending for the series. However, if the author chose to write more, I’d be happy as well.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was an amazing read. C.R. did a great job bringing up topics that might be hard for some readers to read. The use of these topics makes the book that much more realistic.

This book follows Calliope and Brandon. Brandon is part of a famous band and he has a very artful soul. Calliope is a woman with a few skeletons in her closet and demons in her past. Calliope and Brandon have known each other for years. They lost touch and one day meet again while Brandon is trying to find something he lost.

The history between them is vast and plenty. Knowing each other since they were young and reconnecting later in life means they have changed quite a bit. Can the person you once knew bring back lightness to your life? Can the artist that follows their heart show the person who uses reason to live freer? Can you forget your past or will it forever haunt you?

Read this book to find out what happens with the rockstar and the girl he used to know. Learn about their stories and struggles as well.

Chicken Little Investigates is a cute children’s story by Lois Wickstrom and illustrated by Francie Mion. My daughter thought this book was funny and she learned something too. She is 2.5 and she asked a lot of questions and it opened up talk of gravity and the different sounds that things make when they fall. She also loved the pictures and the part with the Fox (her words!) Overall it was a cute, short read. I liked that it was something familiar with something new. It was engaging enough that my daughter paid attention!
