Talisman is the beginning of a series of books that involve warriors, talismans, Celtic folklore, and powerful paranormal powers and a bit of steamy sex! How could this get any better? Rowan is a warrior and as such must find his talisman before his 28th birthday and with only a few months to go, the hope is looking dim. But then a woman walks into his business seeking protection and a sense of security at her house and that’s where our story begins of how Rowan found his talisman in Alyssa and how they prepared for the goddesses return. Poor Alyssa had no idea of the protection spells, charms, and amulets that kept her safe and she definitely did not know who or what she was. Along comes Rowan and turns her world upside down. Does she have what it takes to be a talisman for her warrior? Such a great diverse cast of characters with very strong personalities and the sex scenes were steamy! I absolutely loved this book and the Celtic lore and legend written into the story is fantastic! I want to find my warrior now!!!

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for her. I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a story that has twists and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. A story of revenge and stakes that could destroy. The characters pulled me into the story and brought life to the story. They made the story realistic and added so much to the story. They are relatable and made the story for me. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and hard to put down. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot throughout which made the story easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. I highly recommend this book.

This was a great read. I really loved Jacklyn character. Even after everything she is going through when push comes to shove her fighting spirit and strength really come out as she fights for her freedom and her sanity. I really didn’t like Dusty’s character, I felt like he was always just looking out for himself and what he could get. His sister on the other hand i do believe she was doing what she thought would help her mother and was conned by Dusty just as much as Jacklyn was.
Jacklyn Stone is going through a traumatic time. After losing her husband suddenly and uncovering secrets he kept from her it’s no wonder she’s a bit all over the place and struggling with things. She needs time to grieve and to make sense of everything she is finding out. However her children don’t see that and think she need medical intervention. Especially Dusty. He has power of attorney over his mum and decides he knows best. And that is to put her into a mental instution. Packaging it up as a retreat to give his mum some peace and time to recover they persuade Jacklyn to to to Shore Lodge. What happens next is Jacklyn’s fight to escape a institution she doesn’t belong in while trying to keep her sanity and come to terms with the deception and her sons part in it. Can Jacklyn fight her way out and escape a place which wants to keep her stuck and “mentally impaired”. Does she really need to be at Shore Lodge after all?
It’s a gripping read that you won’t be able to put down.

It was good to be back in Quimby Cove ! It missed the town and it’s people and I know 2 of my favorite people are loving their HEA but I could wait to see what’s in store for darling Max…..
So we know Max has a mystery beach girl that he hooked up with and Ellawyn even did a painting for him 🫶🏼so imagine the Jurassic butterflies that hit his stomach when he heard her voice and the saw her at their wedding rehearsal !!! Yes I squealed and no I’m not embarrassed 😉❣️😂
So beach girl has a name , Marley and she’s still beautiful and still a wedding planner and her memory of Max still leaves her hot and wanting 🔥That moment of recognition was epic ! I wish I was a fly in the wall tj have seen it all 😍😂
A wedding in Starlight Bookstore ! Perfection at its best ❣️a real fairytale and while I’m grateful to be part of it I’m just curious to see what happens with max and Marley ….
So Max and Marley created 2 little beings and after the initial shock Max is keen to meet them and man are they cute ! Jax and Izzy are adorable and everyone just sort of find their groove and gel and life seems perfect till someone from Marley’s past brings a lot of suspense , chills and angst to the table , my heart couldn’t handle it and I chewed nails to the quick !
It was a sweet goodbye but I know I’ll be back in Quimby Cove soon enough because Avery and Kennon have a story to tell I’m sure ❣️📕

From the very beginning, Susan pulls you into the story and you are in the setting of it all. The vivid image of loss is shown throughout the story. Jackyln is, as the kids these days say ‘a baddie’, and it shows from chapter one to chapter 56. Susan writes a witty, yet suspenseful tale of the ultimate betrayal. I would definitely recommend this book and even read it several more times.

Engaging This is Storyteller’s and Sherri’s story. It is captivating from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoy this author’s writing style and their previous works, and this did not disappoint. Storyteller is a very interesting character – his journey has not been an easy one. The road to Sherri was filled with heartache and demons from the past. This book is a stand-alone but forms part of The Mayhem Maker Series – Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem. It’s not flowery romance but dark and gritty. Highly recommend.

Intense story. It’s a definite psychological thriller. I loved the characters. I find these stories are awesome as I get the chills because it’s not often easy to guess who did it. I couldn’t put it down until I was done. This story is written so well that you just can’t help but be drawn in from the beginning. You feel like you are right there. Excellent!

This was a very interesting prequel. I’m excited to read the full story and see what happens.
Riley and her mom have been moving from place to place without any stability. Riley would love to stay in one place long enough to make friends. We don’t know why they are on the run. They do whatever is necessary to get money to survive on.
Cole and Damen are twins from the right side of the tracks and don’t have any struggles with money but are at odds when it comes to their parents. Their mom is struggling in the relationship with her husband and the boys are caught in the middle. Cole is on his moms side and Daman is on his dads side. This is all causing more friction in the household.
So much happens in this prequel to get me excited the read the story and see how everything comes together or falls apart.

This was a great 5 star read. This author is a must read for me. Storyteller is a great character. I enjoyed the adventure he had trying to find the owner of a book he found. He is a nomad who was recently called to come home by his Prez when he came across the book. Little did he know the dangers it would involve. Sheri finds herself in extreme danger and is surprised when Storyteller shows up to help her. Will he be able to help Sheri? Overall I really enjoyed this read we get some steamy moments from these two along with a great story. The author pulls you right in with her writing. I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

This was a great 5 star read, being only 50 pages I read it in one sitting. This genre is quickly becoming a favorite for me. The characters were great, you could feel their connection coming off the pages. Riley and Cole definitely come from different sides of the track but money doesn’t always make things better. Of course we end on a cliffhanger, looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I need to see where their story goes. I will warn that 18+ readers are recommended due to the content and some darkness. If you like Bully Romance 1-click and get started today on this great read.
Adorable illustrations go along with this great story. A treat for any child that is getting ready to go back to school. Just like for children, it is an exciting but scary time in life. Hopefully this will be a favorite for your kids like it has been for mine.

“ One mistaken touch, one mistaken caress, one almost mistaken taste, and already I’m fighting battles I shouldn’t. I brush my fingers under my nose. It shouldn’t be possible, but, (f)uck, I can still smell her. ”
“ Me? I’m non-confrontational, introverted, socially awkward, and have no clue who I am. I go through the motions of life and lose myself in exercise because it’s the only thing that gives me a satisfying rush and reminds me that there’s a beating organ inside me. ”
“Most people would be running in the opposite direction after what went down today,” he says. “But you’re running toward the fire. Why?” Inhaling an unsteady breath, I answer, “Because I’d rather get burned than continue to walk around feeling like a ghost. An empty shell. A lie.”
“ She likes to play coy behind her bubblegum scent, cute, braided pigtails, blinding bright colors, but she’s no saint. Soleil Stratton is a calculated sinner, just like I am. ”
The Golden Garza is the fourth book in the Red Cage series by S. Ann Cole. It is a fantastic romantic suspense with sizzling chemistry, action, danger, intrigue, drama, angst, tension, mystery, humour, banter, family bonds, a private investigation firm, emotion, and so much more. I love everything about this series and was so excited to find this fourth book had released. I put aside everything else I was reading so I could plunge into this book and soak it all up. I love the Garza’s! And even though we get to ‘meet’ the family members through the other instalments, I love it when each one gets their own book and we can get to know them so much better. Tripp is the youngest of the Garza brothers, he’s a bit of an enigma- a wild card and adrenaline junky. Always looking for ways to feed his inner demon, whether it be motor sports, underground fighting, MMA, secret covert missions, no-strings sex, or flying down the freeway as fast as his motorcycle will take him…. Tripp always lives close to the edge. Soleil is his younger sister’s best friend- and entirely off-limits. So, it’s lucky that he finds her completely annoying. Really! He can’t stand her. He can barely tolerate being around her. So, helping her when she needs it the most is completely out of character for him. Keeping her safe becomes top priority, especially when everything she ever thought she knew was nothing but a lie…. There’s more to her story than meets the eye. And he’s just the man to get to the bottom of it all. But what happens when feelings become involved? But what happens if the past doesn’t want to be revealed? What happens when secrets come to light? Well, the tension mounts, the suspense increases, sparks fly and the pages sizzle as it all unfolds- making for a riveting, unputdownable read… Even though this is the fourth book in the series, it could be read as a standalone, but let me tell you, you would definitely be missing out! The other books are fantastic in their own rights, as well as giving more depth and detail to the other characters, and providing backstories that are incredibly intriguing. Having all those other details on board before you start this book, will definitely enhance your reading experience of not only this book, but the series as a whole. I am excited to see that Tillie will be getting her own book with the next instalment, “The Crowned Garza”- but also a little sad to discover that it will be the conclusion to this brilliant series…. not sure I am ready to say goodbye yet. But, still…… Bring on Book #5!!!! Happy Reading…

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The way the author draws you into her stories is just outstanding. The story line is great and the characters are very realistic and relatable. I love reading books from Manda Mellett. They are the perfect way to escape from your day.

I’m not sure how I feel about this book, so I’m going to start this another way and I’ll make a decision at the conclusion. First let’s start by saying the way this book reads, tells me the author did a lot of research before writing. It might be a book of fiction but Handle with Care read as something that could be very informative as well. There was slight romance tied in, but it mainly focused on a deadly outbreak and how to stop it. Finding the source of how it started. Containing it to the general encampment of 400,000 people. Yes, that’s a lot of people but worldwide would be worse. Finding out why it impacted men at a more casualty rate than women. The author when answering those questions put lots of thoughts and responses behind it. There was really only one question that came to mind while reading it. That was, Was this intentional? A question that’s addressed by characters and becomes part of the context about midway through, then till the end is how to answer that question and respond. Dr. Hunter Montgomery and Dr. Selma Bryant have known each other for years. Both of them former military medics for different branches of the military. However they constantly crossed paths and worked together. Selma was married at the time so personal interest between them wasn’t a thing. Even though her husband suspected it was. Now years later they’ve found one another again and are building a life together, till Selma runs. And ran she did, right to the UN relief agency Doctors Abroad, which landed her in Northern Rusda. Signing a contract that would bring her home in April she thought she was doing a great thing and helping out those who didn’t have easy access to care, despite the real reason she was there. You can guess what happens next: people start getting sick/dying at an alarming rate and they can’t figure out the how and why? As I continued to read I started to wonder if the jealous ex-husband had something to do with it. At the same time that would be a lot to get revenge on one person. So I bumped it to the back burner but the question continued to simmer. This book is written to me in a journal type format, each day this is what happens. I think that’s what took me out of it some. I didn’t dislike it but I didn’t love it either. If you enjoy medical outbreak dramas this is definitely for you. The author displays knowledge and understanding of what’s being written. Giving the reader so much information to help them understand everything that’s going on keeping them locked in on the story.

Arrrgh! Me Hate to Wait! By Evanson Bleckwehl is one of my all time favorite children’s books. This book is about how a pirate pig named Half-Pint Porky is in a rush to go up so she can attend Pearl of Pork Pirate School. I love all of the fun names for the characters and the language used throughout the book is right on hook (I mean point) with pirate speech. The illustrations that accompany the story are simply amazing creations by Gabby Correa. Gabby did a wonderful job ensuring that each illustration captured the essence of the story. This book is great for children who are impatient. You can have a little lesson about waiting and how waiting can sometimes be hard.

I really enjoyed this book though it isn’t what I would normally go for. I am not normally into sport romances however this one knocked it out of the park! The drama, chemistry and romance was amazing and I enjoyed losing myself in this one. Second book of the Playing for Keeps series however, I only read this one and felt it stood on its own just fine! Nice easy read!

Another book by this author that does not disappoint. Storyteller vowed off love after being betrayed, Sheri didn’t think anybody could love her. Fate had a different plan and brought these two together in the most unique way. This book does not disappoint and has a great mix of action, suspense, and love. I enjoyed seeing things through the eyes of a nomad that has chosen that lifestyle and the struggles it can bring. Storyteller and Sheri work perfectly and the chemistry upon their first meeting was instant. Fantastic story. Looking forward to hopefully reading more about the members of the wretched soulz.

This author does a wonderful job of not just creating a MC but brings out characters in the MC’s she writes about that connect you to them in ways you don’t expect. StoryTeller’s Tale is no different. He’s been traveling the US going wherever the road takes him. One day, he finds that he needs to help someone who he doesn’t know but will change his life. I started following this author a couple years ago. Anytime I come across one of her books, I get so excited. StoryTeller’s tale is my new favorite!

What a great read!! This author always writes an exceptional story and this one is no different. I became completely enthralled in this story from the beginning and I was captivated throughout its entirety. This book put me through so many feelings, so many ups and downs that I became invested in the characters and their outcome. You will not want to miss out on Storyteller and Sheri’s story. This book is full of action, suspense, romance, betrayal, love and more. I highly recommend this book.

The 3rd book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. Can be read as a standalone, but you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t read the first 2. I read them out of order reading book 2 first, 1 second and this one 3rd. One would think that you would need a notebook and create some kind of character map for all of the characters you are introduced to in this series, but Austin writes in such a way that you follow along with ease. The characters are actually a huge reason why I love this series, I’m attached and invested at this point. they have become my book besties. The plot just like the two before keeps you guessing until the very end.

I really enjoy every book written by this author and this story is fantastic!! Roller coaster of emotions, danger, twists and turns this book was easily consumed by me as I read each page.
StoryTeller (which I love this name for a member of MC) thought he was lucky in love until he was deceived and upon being a member of the Wretched Soulz MC, becomes a nomad on his own. While at a stop for a break when out riding…he stumbles across a book that intrigues him and decides to keep it for himself, not realizing the impact of this decision.
Sheri is trying to find her way, trying to put herself a bit out there….she decides to do something for herself by attending a author signing for that she is excited to go to alone. When at a local stop for a break, Sheri finds herself in a bit of danger with another MC and is taken.
When Storyteller finds Sheri’s book and looks more into why she lost it, this really opens up danger, as Storyteller has to decide if he can help Sheri, whom is in danger. Will ST help Sheri before it is to late?
This is a definite must read!! I loved how both ST and Sheri are “bookworms” (as I can totally relate) and both come from hurt pasts. Another fantastic story by Manda Mellett! I am hoping for some more from the Wretched Soulz MC.

Although book 2 in the series, I read as a stand alone, and can easily be read as one. This is a very gripping story that keeps you guessing until the very end. There were a few times I was sure figured it out, but I never did. I really appreciated the characters and their relationships, some of my favorite thrillers are not solely based on the plot but my attachment to the characters. This certainly has the plot and the characters you want to keep reading about. I can’t wait to go back and read book one as well as book 3 in this series.

I truly enjoyed this book! The main character Rhia has grown up in a small village that has not been paying their taxes to the King so his sixth son is sent to marry her and figure out a way to get the gold. I love Rhia, she is witty and sassy and strong. She is a twin and is not dainty like most girls, she is tall and broad shouldered and has worked hard her entire life. Emerys, the prince and her new husband, grew up in a larger city and is not used to getting his hands dirty. They are enemies who have to work together to save the town. When they start to work together and actually talk and get to know each other they learn they have more in common than they thought. This was a fun historical YA novel and I couldn’t wait to see how it ended.

This is a nice book that shows young children that bees are not something to be afraid of and that they will help your garden grow. Young Loretta finds out a lot about bees and how they help to pollenate the plants in the garden. She learns about how the bees grow in the different seasons and what the bees nest look like. Nice to see the way the parents show and teach Loretta about bees, she is able to learn as she is encouraged to be curious and to enjoy nature. It was also nice to see a section at the end of the book showing children how they can make nests for the bees themselves. It is an easy step by step guide with pictures.
Delilah has recently moved to Snowflake Valley and she’s opening up a muffin shop. As she’s getting to know the community, she meets some very interesting people who become friends to her. Those friends are starting to share some of the recent happenings around Snowflake Valley, including a recent murder at the shop that she’s wanting to open.
Once Delilah gets opened up, she’s running from open to close. There isn’t much downtime at all and Delilah needs to hire some help. Once she starts that process, things start become more eerie. Can she keep this shop open and her sanity intact?
This was an enjoyable little mystery that I read in just a few short hours in one setting. There were a couple of times that I wanted to smack Delilah for the choices that she made but the ending made up for it all.

This is a short novella, a prequel to a promising new adult series. Be aware it does end in a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more. Can I just say wow, I’m so glad I picked this up to read, but I want the rest of the series now because I have to know what happens next to Cole and Riley.
Riley is a quick thinker she’s had to be, as she’s seen and helped with more cons than she wants to admit. Her mom and her have just moved yet again, and Riley is waiting to find out what the new con will be despite her mom telling her they are finally safe from her father and won’t be conning anyone or moving again. She is trying to figure out her new look to blend in when she stumbles onto a party. It’s there she meets Cole, one of the ElITIES of Hidden Valley. Cole isn’t your typical good-looking jock though he pretends to be, while he hides the family drama he is trying to deal with.
This is a fun, fast enemy to lovers and a new adult bully romance that has left me wanting to know more about Riley and Cole. I honestly can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out.

Manda Mellett’s book StoryTeller’s Tale is part of The Mayhem Makers Series – Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem (MMM) author event and world collaboration. These standalone novels and are by several bestselling authors who write twisted chaos. What more could you want with bikers, mobsters, and dark romance. I will have to go and check out the other authors. Wow! What a tale it is. A great start to what promises to be an amazing series the Wretched Soulz MC. Ah Manda Mellett does some of the best MC stories around. She is one of my fav authors so it’s always yes please gimme now when she has a new book out. It is full of intrigue, suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected. It is also action packed and steamy. StoryTeller has always wanted a somewhat normal like but unfortunately it wasn’t in the cards for him. Betrayal is a bitter pill to swallow. Now he is ordered to return to one place he doesn’t feel welcome. Trying to do the right thing he soon finds himself facing one of the darkest sides of humanity that there is. I absolutely fell in love with this story and it’s characters. It is a very emotional ride, but it is a great ride. You will not be disappointed.

Storyteller has a shell of stone and a heart of gold. Sheri has a gentle exterior, a brain like Einstein, and a selfless heart. Sheri is constantly worrying about others, something many of us understand too well. Storyteller finds himself hooked on this woman he has never even met. Sheri finds herself in a predicament and fantasizes about being saved by this nomad. Is it a dream or does she end up with the man she has always wanted?
This author never fails to disappoint. From the get-go I was pulled in. The prologue left my jaw hanging. The author seemed to put their heart and soul into this book. The interest that both of the main characters have in reading is uncanny and all too familiar. Particularly their interest in MC storylines. I have not found a novel written by this author that I have not loved. The only reason you will regret picking up this book is because once you start, you will not be able to put it down until you are done. So make sure to set a few hours aside in your schedule because you will not get anything done until you finish this book.

StoryTeller’s Tale (Wretched Soulz MC) by Manda Mellett 4 Stars
This author is definitely in my top ten favourites. I’m so excited that a new series has started. She absolutely nails the MC romance genre. Once again the story is filled with action, danger and romance. There was great world building and character development. There are lots of interesting characters to expand upon within the series. I really liked StoryTeller. He’s honest, loyal and has a heart of gold. After what happened when he was a prospect, I don’t blame him for going nomad. I don’t know if I would have trusted my “brothers” afterwards. Sheri was refreshing. She’s definitely not your stereotypical biker chick. She’s quiet, reserved and a bookworm. Their story has a unique beginning. Fate definitely had a hand in brining these two together. If you have never read a book by this author, this is a good one to start with.
