My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the prequel to a new series. This was a quick read but it’s a good one!

You are pulled in right from the beginning with Riley’s character. The back story is intriguing and you definitely want to find out what’s going on. You can tell that while Cole and his family are well off, they are just as dysfunctional as the next family. This book did a really good job of setting the stage for the series. It introduced characters and gave some back story. You get hooked just enough!

I can’t wait to read this series!

Hit on YouHit on You by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m not new to this author , love her writing and to me she’s pretty diverse and an all rounder ❣️📚 I love myself a good mafia romance so I couldn’t wait to get lost in between these pages 🫶🏼

At first I struggled with Luke being a woman ( the name ) but after a chapter or 2 Luke reminded me she’s a woman, all woman , a seductive , sultry and beautiful woman 😉

Luke is not only strong but independent and has had no qualms of looking after herself and the man that he has his eye on her is wise not to try and box her or her character in , give her freedom to be who she is …..

Nikolai is part of the Seattle mafia and a man of poet , he also happens to be a man that loves Luke , see everyone has an Achilles heel !? Anyhoo he declares his love and Luke runs , but he has his eye on her and when she needs him most he swoops in and “saves” her

These 2 had me all over the place but I love them and they captured my heart , their story may not be traditional but it’s beautiful 🥰

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a cute children’s book about a piggy that does NOT like to wait. I have two kiddos of my own that aren’t a big fan of patience, so we read this one together. We all loved the illustrations, and they said they understood what piggy feels like because they also don’t want to wait most of the time. We laughed and played alongside pretending to be pirates. Overall, this is a very enjoyable book and would highly recommend to families teaching their young ones that good things come to those who wait!

Real Movie Hero (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book #2) by Debra Parmley – Review by Angela Hayes

Real Movie HeroReal Movie Hero by Debra Parmley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Real Movie Hero is the second book in the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII series by Debra Parmley. It is a military romantic suspense with SEALs, danger, tension, chemistry, sizzle, intrigue, emotion, action, a protective Alpha-type hero, and dramatic developments.
This is another short story in this series, and my favourite so far. It’s a very quick, and easy read. I read it in the time it took me to have my lunch.
As I have mentioned previously with some of Ms. Parmley’s other books, that though this story is complete, and an interesting read, I would have preferred it to be much longer, more detailed, and a ‘meatier’ story… because then I would have had more time to fully immerse myself in the story, really get to know the characters, and for them to have more time to fully develop. Plus, who doesn’t want to spend a longer time between the covers with a hot and hunky SEAL?
I did like the story, and as I said, it is definitely my favourite of Ms. Parmley’s books, so far….
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Debra Parmley!

I have always been an avid reader, and have always dreamed of becoming an author one day. So, when I came across this book, I decided it was a MUST READ. I am a librarian/book worm by day, but dreamer by night. I have a handy notebook for writing. This book has enticed my creative side, and magnified my desire to become an author. While I know it is not an easy journey, I have people that will support me. I also have an amazing new resource to help guide me through the process. I am looking forward to putting the steps to the test. As a librarian, I had a basic understanding of some of the information about books, but I love how this book dove into the deep end to give me a better understanding of the process of becoming an author.

This was the best Fantasy Romance book I have read in a LONG time. I had not read anything by Nicole E. Kelleher before, but this knocked me right off my feet. Wild Lavender is the magnificent first book in the Heart & Hand Series and I cannot wait to read the next. The author has such a brilliant way of creating such an all-encompassing world, I wouldn’t pass this one up. It is a gripping, fast-paced read full of romance, danger, and lots of chemistry. Heading over to pick up the second book in this series because I simply can’t wait any longer! I highly recommend giving this one a chance and you’re sure to fall in love with the beautiful world and intriguing characters.

Being a writer of any sort is an ambition you hear of many but how do they do it? Tataw has put together such insightful and thorough details of so many parts of becoming an author and getting the word spread of the author’s wonderful work. Between my daughter and myself, aspiring writers, it was great to see a laid out checklist of the process and resources of where to go for specific services. This is a staple tool in our library for many years to come, whether it is recommending this work to other aspiring writers/authors and within my family. With such a guided map of the process and the publishing industry, you never know what lengths inspiration may take you.

I have to say that this book was a good one to pick up. I’ve never read anything by this author before but I will definitely be reading the other books in this series as well as be looking for other books written by her. The story keeps you engaged from start to finish with the great plot and character development. Aubrianne is determined to find out what her husband does when he leaves for days at a time. She was tough when it was needed especially when it came to her loved ones. Her husband, Larkin, is seeking adventure and jumps head first into investigating Lord Roger who deals with a rival realm. Will he be implicated as one of those that has committed treason? I’ve only started getting in historical romance books and read very few fantasy. These two genres mixed together was not what I was expecting and was pleasantly surprised. If you’re looking to mix up your book shelf a bit this would be a good book to add.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the prequel to the Isla Vaughn’s new series Hidden Valley Elite. The story follows two young teenagers, Cole and Riley. They comes from drastically different background and financial statues. Riley and her mother move around constantly, never staying in one place to long because they are con artists and hiding from her biological father. Her mother says that this time is different, that they will hopefully be able to settle in and stay. The first day Riley is in town, she comes across a house party at a mansion sized beach house. After scoping out the house, Riley steals a gold lighter and get caught by a dangerously attractive alpha male. Cole, catches Riley in a bold face lie and when taunted by Riley, kisses her. To both of their surprise it is the most intense kiss either of them have ever experienced. Riley’s mother’s plans of staying are quickly changed and before they know it they are on their way to moving again. The book ends with a cliffhanger! I cannot wait until Book One is released to see what happens between Riley and Cole!

This story is is a must read for any child getting ready to start school as it shows that they don’t have to be scared as they will meet new people and make friends. I recommend this book to any parent with children ready to start school.

Ouroboros is a very good read. I love how all the characters grow from how they were when they first met in the first and second book to how they are now. The author did a really great job in how the characters can relate to each other even though they all have different backgrounds. There are a few plot twists that one would never think of happening which makes for an interesting read.

This is such a good book! I truly enjoyed the characters and have to say these are some of the most detailed characters I have ever read. This is the second book in the series, however, it definitely can be read without reading the first one. However, I recommend reading the first one just so you gain a better appreciation for the Bennet family and what all they have been through. This book has the perfect happy ending and definitely leaves me wanting more (in the best way possible).

This is the start to a new series. I really enjoyed this story. It is the first book in a new series that I have enjoyed this much in a long time. I really enjoyed the characters and thought that they were multidimensional. I also liked that this was a little dark and really was reminiscent of high school in many ways – especially the stereotypical high schools that were found in TV dramas. It reminds me of many of my favorite tv shows which means that I am really looking forward to more in this series. I definitely recommend this!!

As always, this is a Hawke family book that does not disappoint. This is the first book in the Hawke Family Second Generation series. However, it does contain some of the characters in the original series. This book also has a prequel, it is not necessary to read it to understand this book, it just demonstrates the amount of chemistry between MIna and Isaac. This chemistry was absolutely undeniable and continues in this book. Isaac is a man who will do anything to protect his family but in this book the danger is so close. I definitely recommend this book, just as much as I have recommended every other book by Gwyn McNamee.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging fantasy romance with an epic storyline spanning realms, mystical prophecy’s and royal intrigue. Healer and warrior Lady Aubrianne protects those she loves, so when she discovers that her frequently absent husband Lord Roger, maybe caught up in treason she must avoid them all being implicated. Meanwhile, Royal Guard of Aurelia and known rake, Larkin is investigating the increasingly wealthy Lord Roger, and what his dealings are with a rival realm. Craving adventure Larkin sets off, but is shocked to find the women who’s haunted his dreams ever since they met years before, Anna (Lady Aubrianne). Unfortunately the punishment for treason is death to all those involved, meaning that if Lord Roger is found guilty, so will his wife, unless Anna can prove her innocence. This is an exciting fantasy epic with a story full of ambition, drama, murder and sizzling romance, which had me hooked throughout. The characters and settings were brought vividly to life through the wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. I look forward to the next book in this series.

I enjoyed this one. This follows Sam on a journey of discovery. She’s a young naive girl who runs to LA to become an actress but soon discovers its not as easy as she first thought. Her apartment is awful and her job she doesn’t enjoy either. She’s swept away by a tall good looking guy who at first seems all that, too good to be true and I had a bad feeling about him from the start. Turns out I was right. Follow Sam as she gets herself into a bad situation, trusts the wrong people and has her eyes opened about the people closest to her all too late. This one is a real page turner and once I started I had to find out what happens at the end. The ending wax a surprise to me but I really liked it! Would definitely recommend!

Evan (Billionaire Blind Dates #2)Evan by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start out by saying that this is the second installment of this amazing series, and I highly suggest you take the time to read Jake!
This book focuses on Evan, who we meet in the first book of the series. Evan is a silent backer of a dating business called “Blind Date”, which is owned by Kayla, a wonderful woman we also met in the first installment. Kayla and Evan have a good friendship, but that seems to be all, at least on the surface. Evan’s friends talk him into trying out the Blind Date, just as he had talked his friend Jake into doing. The rules stayed the same, four women would be chosen, one by each of Evan’s friends, and he would go on a blind date with all of them. Evan has a terrible experience with the first two dates, but the third seems so right to him, that he feels almost comfortable, almost familiar.
This is an amazing short and beautiful read, and I highly recommend that you take the time to read the first installment and keep your eyes open for the third book! I’ll be impatiently awaiting its release! <3

Chatroom With a View is a very dark and at times disturbing read. The book begins with Troy finding his mother dead in her own pool of spreading blood and he has beat the crap out of his father to the point of his father being immobilized and helpless! What a way to kick off this dark book! Troy, who is the main character of the story is not the nicest guy nor the brightest color in the crayon box, but he knows how to play dirty! Troy’s life is going okay between work and tending to his immobilized father until Veronica, a few night stand that he met through a chatroom and met up for some fun a few times, has contacted him and told him she is pregnant with his child! What a major upheaval in his already jacked up life. The waitresses that he works with are basic run of the mill bitches who like to play games with those in the chatroom so Troy decides to dish out his own sweet revenge for him and all the other guys that the waitresses have screwed over and played with. Very dark story but entertaining if you enjoy suspense and thrillers and being inside the mind of twisted people! The characters are very well written and definitely a very original book which is quite refreshing since most stories seem to be rewritten or updated versions! I must say that this was a very good read and I cannot give enough praise for such an original book! BRAVO!!!

One day an impatient piggy asks when she can go to big pirate school, but every time, she is told that she has to wait, it is the same everyday when she asks if she can stop doing something when she gets the chance to sail away there.

This little piggy is wishing her life away, that is until the day comes when she no longer has to wait, but what happens then, will she get cold hooves and decide she doesn’t mind waiting after all, or will she find that the treasure is beckoning and the call is too much to resist?

This is a charming story with an important message, which is brightly illustrated and fun for all the family to enjoy.

Wild Lavender is the 1st book in an epic romantic fantasy trilogy and she’s a hefty one. I really enjoyed this read. This is not a genre I’m usually drawn to; however, Kelleher pulls you in right away and doesn’t let you go. There is danger and intrigue, twists and turns, love and hate…I could go on. It’s all there. She does an great job at building these worlds and making the reader feel like they are a part of them as well. I connected with the characters and can’t wait to see where they go. The love scenes were well done and perfectly sprinkled throughout the novel. I really enjoyed this author and this book and can’t wait to sit down with the next installment.
