The 45th Parallel Antipodes Series Book 6 By: T.S. Simons Review By: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
I hope this book isn’t the last one in the Antipodes series! I am obsessed! T.S. Simons creates a wonderfully unique world that is amazing to explore, where both the characters and setting are completely mesmerizing. The 45th Parallel and the Antipodes series itself is full of great detail and emotional pull. It takes you on this grand adventure where you will find tension, mystery, romance, and the unexpected. I know I will be thinking about Sera and Cait for a while to come and asking myself what if? T.S. Simons gives you everything you want in a series where the installments just get better and better. I love her style and I am truly looking forward to picking up more of her work in the near future! I highly recommend the Antipodes series to any lover of the Sci-Fi genre, you will not be disappointed!

Swoon! I am not sure that I have fully recovered from this book. I am on that amazing high from reading a book that puts you through all the emotions with twists and turns throughout. This book totally works as a stand alone, but if you are like me you will run out and get the first one as well! Seriously, this book is fake dating at its best. Ryan is a super hot major league pitcher with no use for the baseball groupies that hang around. Peyton finds herself in a situation she never thought she would be. Ryan and Peyton start “dating” to save face and keep the peace for a few weeks. The chemistry pouring off these two is palpable.

This book is a hot and steamy roller coaster ride from start to finish. It starts how any typical one night stand goes with two strangers meeting across a crowded bar. Both looking to lose themselves and their responsibilities in one night of passion. However, when the morning comes Hawke realizes one night is not enough. He still has another day before accepting the crushing weight of future responsibilities and lucky for him the redhead who called herself Jack decides to see where another night might take them. Two nights is still not enough for Hawke and he realizes he must know her real name to contact her to see where this could lead. After all she is the first woman he has been able to see a future with but what if she’s not on the same page. Can Hawke find his mystery woman that fled his bed with no number or calling card? Or is he doomed to pine over the one woman that could have been his everything?
There are so many emotions tied into these characters as they try to escape the paths already destined for each of them. One seemingly has more control whereas the other is at the mercy of her family. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series to find what happened next. As soon as this one was finished, on a cliffhanger of course, I went and looked for the next book only to find it won’t be released until later this month. Now I wait with bated breath to find out if Hawke will ever find his mystery woman or if the past is best left in the past!

I am a sucker for a good family/kid’s book. I enjoy reading these as all of my friends have children and these allow me to have fun time with them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it was one that was not only kid friendly but one that kept me interested as well. The illustrations were wonderful and bright. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

3.5 stars There are things that may be a trigger to some readers. What a Psychological Thriller it is. I love psychological thrillers but I’m not sure how I feel about this book or where to start this review. There is so much pain, and emptiness to the main character. Her naivety is overwhelming at times with the situations she finds herself in. Hoping for a life full of dreams she sets off for LA however she finds herself in situations none of us want to find ourselves in. A stranger promising her things turns out to be the devil himself. Nadija has given us an original tale with an interesting premise. There were times when I could see things coming but there are enough twists and turns the biggest being the ending that was a surprise. It is one of those stories that the pages keep turning because you have to know how it ends.
This is the second book in the SEAL Team 12 series, and once again Debra Parmley draws me in with her relatable characters and realistic story lines. The real-world themes and how not only the enemy of the story plays out but the way the main characters handle things are realistic. We first meet Cutter in book one, more in passing but he is mentioned, and, in his story, he goes on the unintended adventure of finding his one person. Starting out Cutter is on the way to yet another wedding of a SEAL brother, and he finds himself wondering if there is someone out there for him. Having his grandma and cousins was all that brought him back to the states after missions he didn’t need a permanent girlfriend holding him down that didn’t understand his job. Zarifah thought she found the one, until all the red flags made her find a way out, to be herself and to be happy. She was engaged but he thought the ring on her finger gave him control over her life. Being an American belly dancer makes her happy, she enjoys her job and life but her ex-fiancé wanted her to quit, and yet only focused on her dancer persona, never getting to know the real her. Cutter and Zarifah were drawn to each other both helping the other in ways they didn’t fully understand at the time. Until her violent ex returns crashing one of her performances determined that if he can’t have her no one can. Only Zarifah has a protecter and he will do anything and everything to protect her and get her free of her ex once and for all. Will her ex be stopped in time? Is Zarifah truly his one person? Cutter loves everything about Zarifah, but can his grandma accept her? The author once again gives you characters that you can’t stop routing for. Cutter and Zarifah have a connection that is deeper than deployments and crazy exes can destroy. I once again couldn’t put down this book until I learned all of its secrets and look forward to hopefully another book in this series. Quick reads with real world situations and happy endings.

Lucky Stars is a modernized sci-fi version of Audrey Hepburn’s Roman Holiday. I was intrigued by the cover and the description in the cover blurb. Princess Mora is being put in an arranged marriage to merge two families and not getting to live her own life. She makes a break for it, and adventure follows. This is a quick read that has kept me wanting more. I always enjoy sci-fi romance, and space pirates add another level of fun. I enjoyed Mora and Darin, the rebel pilot. The two are a good match, and I looked forward to getting to the end to find out if there was a happily ever after. If you are looking for romance, sci-fi, fun, and of course, space pirates, this book is for you. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Hunter and Selma both drs, are trying to navigate a relationship but with past damage. Her, an abusive marriage and him, loss of a loved one. Selma gets some surprising news and gets spooked and runs away to work with drs in a third world country. A deadly outbreak spreads fast and kills many. The drs work quickly to save who they can, find out where the disease came from, who made it and why. The author for sure did lots of research for the medical portions of the book. It seemed to be written in the format or a journal and for me personally I didn’t like it. The timeline sometimes skipped back and forth.

My Inner Critic is a relatable story of self-discovery and finding self-love. The story is relatable and made me feel understood. Like the main character, I am an introvert in an extrovert world with so much going through my head. I enjoyed that the author put herself as a character into a fictional world to tell her story. I worried the story might touch too close to home. I was pleasantly surprised that though it hit close to home, I loved embracing Emily and accepting her as one of the team. The story was well written, relatable, funny at points, and tender at others. I love that other women are coming into their own and finding comfort in themselves, as I did later in life. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I enjoyed reading this romance story that has a touch of suspense to it. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is one of my favorites yet by her. I enjoy how the author uses her attention to details to pull me into the story with her characters. These characters are no different. They are strong, relatable and add so much to the story. They have great growth as well as chemistry. They made the story for me. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. A hard to put down story where the characters will question themselves and each other. What happens with them you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend this book.

Storyteller was just a breath away from getting his patch with the Wretched Soulz MC, before his life takes a completely different turn. ST patches in but spends five years as a nomad, back at the club ST is reading a book when it is pointed out to him that the book is signed and that the owner would probably not give it up. Interest sparked, ST ends up looking for the lady who owned it only to find that she is a world of trouble of her own and ST is determined to find her Will his club have his back?
This was great, completely unique from any biker story I have read. I really liked ST and the story had grit to it. Read a couple from this author and each book gets better and better. Highly recommend.

Lyall Review by Jenni Bishop
This book started off with all the drama! Peyton was shocked and her counterpart – the true one – is revealed and the “second inning” begins.
The characters develop throughout the plot and the author throws in plenty of curve balls that I didn’t expect. This wasn’t just a sports romance…there were real life situations in it.
An fake romance with a small twist of enemies to lovers. Lauren created a world within the book that draws the reader in and you don’t want to put it down.
I am looking forward to reading more books from her.

This is the first book I have read by Debra Parmley and honestly, I couldn’t put it down. Being an army veteran, I don’t usually read books with anything military related but something about this synopsis drew me in and I was not disappointed. This book is mainly told from the perspective of Diesel and Pippa, though it does have moments as other characters such as Diesel’s father and even Pippa’s ex-husband Stan. Groomed from a young age by Stan who is 15 years older than her Pippa married right out of high school, but the honeymoon phase quickly turned dangerous after her father passed away six months into their marriage. With no other choice Pippa ran, with nothing but her purse and the cloths on her back, she has been running and looking over her shoulder for over a year when she is in living in Virginia Beach and finally gets a call that Stan is in prison for three years, she is safe. Diesel called in with his SEAL team for a meeting before going back out on missions is home in Virginia Beach. Its Halloween and with help both end up at the masquerade party. With the fresh news that she is safe and can relax and have fun Pippa goes dressed as a woodland fairy and gives into her inner desires for a night of fun. Diesel looking to have a good time before shipping out again is dressed as a gladiator. Pippa works up the courage to approach the mysterious gladiator and asks him to dance and then more, but no names, no faces, and no numbers. In the moment something more intense happened that neither had ever experienced before but Pippa stuck to her rules of the night and went home. Quickly Pippa regrets not at least giving her gladiator her number, then finds out she is pregnant but no matter what she is going to be a mother and that’s all that matters. Two years pass, she has a handsome little boy named Bryce, a chance encounter with an older man at a park sets her one prayer the day her son was born in motion. That her son’s father is safe and if it is best for them that he may come back to them. Only when Diesel finds her it’s too late, her ex is loose, and he found them first. Will Pippa survive the wrath of her past? Can Diesel find his new family in time? What will happen to little Bryce? The world the author creates is one of reality, the moments the bad luck and the good luck are all possible. The characters are three dimensional and grow, being relatable. I read this entire book in less than a day and couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened next. I can’t wait to read book 2 Saving the Bellydancer, from Diesel’s fellow SEAL brother Cutter and learn his story.

The Authorpreneur Yellowpages is a one stop shop for information on resources available for authors who need help with book and publishing services. What I like is the community of authors who take their time to put together books like this to help other authors or upcoming authors on their way. I am sure there are many, many writers out there who wished they had something like this to help them out. Need an editor? It’s in there. Need that one special look to entice readers pick a cover designer. Need someone with marketing services this is where you will find them. Winnifred has taken all that information and more and put it in this directory just to help you. You never know which one of these services may be the one who will help you to become a best seller.
We begin this story with Peyton who is meeting the team because she is dating one of the players. And boy does he turn out to be a player. Just not the type of player Peyton wants to be with. When it rains it pours, bad things happen in threes, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Peyton is living this way. She just wants to be happy and helping the kids at her center is what makes her heart the happiest. But getting the local baseball team to volunteer is a dream come true.
The baseball team includes Ryan. Ryan is Kendall’s brother. We met Kendall in Book 1. (Everything to Me). I love this story so much more than book 1. By chapter 3 I was already loving it! These characters are funny, feisty and sassy. Again, this author throws a curve for her characters. And we get to enjoy the game!
Another homerun by this author. Looking forward to who’s up next!

Wild Lavender is the first book in the Heart & Hand Series. It is an historical romance fantasy/paranormal story that takes place in the Kingdom of Aurelia with various realms. I can take or leave Historical romances, but I was drawn to this book because I thought there would be more paranormal, more fantasy, more magical elements. Anna finds herself in an arranged marriage to Lord Roger. He is a sadistic, cruel and evil man, a vile creature. She has found strength to overcome her fear when it comes to him. However, her life may just be taking a turn for the better when a stranger comes to town. There is political intrigue, beautiful horses, castles and sexual violence. There is fear and loathing, angst and hope, heartache and heartbreak, passion and courage and much more. If you like Historical romances read this book.

Throwing the Curve is available now in Paperback and eBook ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️ Book Review
“When life throws you a curve sometimes all you can do is swing for the fences.” Throwing the Curve is an enemies to lovers, sports romance written by Lauren Fraser. It is the second installment of the Playing for Keeps series. Although it is a part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
Peyton Sharp prides herself on being an honest person and doing what is right. When she realizes the baseball player she is dating is a married man she can’t continue with the shenanigans and must escape from the mess. Ryan Graves, another member of the baseball team comes to her rescue and agrees to be Peyton’s fake boyfriend. This fake relationship doesn’t come without stipulations.
Lauren Fraser writes about love and relationships but in the end she’s a sucker for a happy ending. Throwing the Curve will not let you down in the happy ending category. The characters of Peyton and Ryan were relatable and lovable. Ryan’s team mates as secondary characters really wrapped up the storyline. The pace of this novel kept me wanting more, never bored throughout. I did feel like the forced fake relationship was awkward but overall I really liked the story. Despite this the characters and Fraser’s writing style really drew me in. And the SPICE, oh my! It will not disappoint. I can’t wait to see what installment 3 of this series brings to the table.

This story is about Pete and Kendall. What starts out as a typical “can’t love or even lust after my best friend’s little sister and I love my brother’s best friend” type of story turns out to be pretty good. This author gives these characters a fun and flirty life with a baseball twist. Super cute and sweet.
I loved how the author told their back story without having actual flashbacks so the story continued to flow. There’s sexy time so this book is not for kids or easily offended readers. This story is a quick read and has a HEA. And the fact that there are secondary characters is even better. Nothing better than more stories to read by an author who knows how to write.
Would recommend this story and looking forward to who’s up to bat next!

This book is absolutely amazing! I have never felt so seen by a book, by an author, by a main character. In so many ways, Emily’s story was my story. This was such a relatable book, I definitely feel like Emily most of the time. I definitely appreciated how accurately Christine depicts struggles with depression and anxiety. I also truly love how Christine shows that it does get better. I truly love this story and recommend it to all!

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in the Antipodes series, I was looking forward to this novel, and I was not disappointed. I would personally recommend reading these novels in order, so you have a better understanding of the continuing storyline. Set in the same dystopian world where a virus decimated the planet, this novel centres on Caitlin and Seraphine. They have both grown up on Lewis and have an ordered and calculated life. They are both ‘immune children’, created by the previous regime in order to ensure the survival of the human race. As there are only a few surviving communities left on earth, the girls destiny weighs heavily on them. Cait and Sera are expected to have babies that will then be immune like they are, they are told that their role, “in re-settling the world is critical”. However, the girls reject this role and so they leave to embark on a thrilling and dangerous adventure, reactivating the Nexus, and discovering new worlds. By doing this Cait and Sera are endangering not only themselves but their loved ones. Once again I was drawn in to the world created by the author, who brings both the setting and characters vividly to life through the detailed, descriptive narrative. I loved the main characters Cait and Sera and the dynamic between them. I was gripped throughout and was kept happily turning the pages.

Simons – Review by Jennifer Gordon
This book is full of heat and steam right from the word go. There is so much chemistry in this book it carries the whole story with ease. That being said, the book had much more depth and emotion to it than I expected. I enjoyed reading about the main characters. They fit well together and had a really strong connection. This is the first book that I have read by this author but it definitely will not be the last. If this book is an indication to the writing style and great stories I can expect to find then I will be reading as much as I can, starting with the next book in this series!
This is a short, fast-paced sci-fi story that is imaginative and such an interesting read. This is the first book that I have read by this author so I had no expectations when going in. I was really taken by the level of detail in the writing and how easy that drew me into the story. I really enjoyed the characters in this book. They had a great dynamic and really developed as the story went along. I loved their interactions and I thought they added to the overall story really well. With the way this book ended I cannot wait to get my hands on the next!
Daniel O’Halleran is left at the alter and starts a new chapter of his life as a village Coroners Physician. He is asked to investigate a two year old murder when he finds a second one at his feet… and suspects they are related. He is on the hunt for two killers, and no one appears to be telling the truth!
This historical murder mystery was just what I needed. Such a variety of likeable and unlikeable characters that were so well thought out. Daniel is such a gentleman with intelligence and a little sass. I really enjoyed the back and forth with his love interest and was so invested in the mystery. The historical aspect made this that little bit charming, and I found myself gasping and talking out loud all throughout my read!
If you are an Agatha Christie fan or just love a good mystery read with a few morally grey characters, then this is for you!

The Golden Garza (Red Cage Book 4) by S. Ann Cole. This is Tripp’s story and I loved it. These books are so good. They can be read as standalone’s but I highly recommend reading them in order. Tripp is a wild card, he’s always loved high stakes everything. He’s an adrenaline junkie, fast cars and one night stands are right up his alley. Soleil is his sisters best friend and its a good thing she gets on his nerves completely because she is beautiful!. When she needs protecting he is fine with helping her out which is out of character for him. He finds that he will do anything to take care of her. Soleil knows that when she needs help the Garza’s will be there but when Tripp gets to know Soleil better he realizes there is a lot more to her than annoying giggles. He might even be falling for her. Will he trust her with his heart? Read this wonderful book to find out!

Ann Cole – Review by Tausha Treadway
I’ve read a few books by this author know and I love her writing style. Her stories are easy to read and although generally on the shorter side they are never missing anything, her character development is good and I always enjoy what I read. This story was no exception. Lovely Jo was on the run after being accused of a crime she didn’t commit, she found herself being sheltered by Dusty who believed that she didn’t do anything wrong. I loved both of these characters, Lovely Jo was a really nice person who know sadly because of the colour of her skin she was being blamed for something she didn’t do and would more than likely not be believed if she was captured. Dusty, I’m going to be honest, was definitely book boyfriend material. There was so much chemistry between him and Lovely Jo but he was so respectful of her. I thought they made a lovely couple and I loved reading about them. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author again!

I loved this book and it’s made me so excited for the series to come! It was easy to read and had some great characters! Riley was fabulous! She is definitely going to be one who will stick up for herself and I sense there’s going to be some chemistry between her and Cole and also a LOT of angst if the story goes the way I think it will! This is a prequel story so is only short but it definitely gets you ready for the next book! I cannot wait!!! I will add there are some parts of this story concerning mental health which could be a trigger for some readers, I feel the author dealt with them sensitively because sadly these things to happen in life.
