The Rebirth: Part One: Aliens and Royalty (Planet Amazon Book 1)
By Crystal Dawn

I must be honest when I first started to read this book, I did not think it was going to be for me. By the end of the first chapter the storyline had me wanting to know what was next. I like how all the main characters in the book had their own strengths with the females of Amazon being slightly stronger than the men. She is Andrea Stanton, and she has found the doorway to Amazon and has gone through it. On getting through the door Andrea wakes up feeling so dizzy she did not want to open her eyes. Queen Lydia had hit her on the back of her head with a staff. It did not take long for Lydia and Andrea to become close friends in fact over time Andrea became Lydia’s second in command. Andrea noticed Marcus as Lydia was showing her around and was told she could not have him just yet, Andrea has also noticed Jonne, she found herself attracted to both of them on sight. I love how the storylines of the two men that become part of Andreas life are so different, yet they both are a perfect match for her. The storyline continues to build throughout the book and at no time does not hold your attention. What we have in this book is romance, lust, action, and a war between two worlds. I can honestly recommend that this book be read.

Finding Hope: A Small Town Beach Romance (Half Moon Bay #1)Finding Hope: A Small Town Beach Romance by Erin Brockus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Hope wins a raffle, and the prize is a scuba resort in St Croix, her life just might be getting the change that it needs. Alex is the diving instructor at the resort, there to escape his own past. These two are determined to keep things professional…and keep those walls up. But, as time passes, and unexpected things are happening around them, the two must work closely together to figure out what’s going on. The more time they spend together, though, the closer they become. Will they both let their walls down, and let each other in, to see if they can have a future together?

This was a good read. It was the perfect book for reading at the beach…imagining myself on the sand in St. Croix. I could almost feel myself there with the descriptions given in the book. I enjoyed both characters as they got to know each other as the book progressed. As this was the firs tin the series, I will be looking forward to future books!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of DeceptionNotebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series never disappoints! We continue following Emma and Jeremy on an investigation that would involve some of their very own “family”. This investigation leads to Emma and Jeremy having to play the role of being someone else, being away from their family and brings more family into the picture.

This particular book in the series just kept me guessing all the way until the end! Just when you think Emma was going to solve it, or that you had guessed what was next, something else exciting happened. This case has Emma and Jeremy working with Tony and Peggy in order to find out who killed the brother of Peggy. So much is uncovered and revealed in this book in regards to a con scam, and missing jewels.

This could be read as a stand alone, however you should read from book 1 and continue. It will make the character connections make sense and just answer some questions that could come up with certain characters in this book.

Sometimes an itch is just an itch. Honestly my favorite book by Tricia Gardella so far. Such a cute little story of relatable everyday kid stuff. All of Jack’s friends work together to help him help his dog Shank. From the different home remedies that each child has heard to their own interpretation of what to do was a fun silly read.

The Apothecary's CurseThe Apothecary’s Curse by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Victorian London, Simon Bell makes an elixir created by Gaelen Erceldoune from an ancient manuscript. Simon gives his wife the elixir meant to cure her cancer but instead it kills her. Simon takes the leftover elixir only to discover he can’t die. The two men connect 5 years later as they try to conceal their immortality. The novel continues to weave through time following the lives of Simon and Gealan.

I really enjoyed this first book in the series. It took me a little longer to get into the book as I found the first half moved slower. Although I usually find this the case with books from a series – it just takes longer to build the characters and their histories. It’s worth it because the characters in this one are well written and the story is fantastic.

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator #3)Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beth and Scott are working the women’s featherweight boxing circuit. Scott fell in love with Beth a year ago but since then, Beth refuses to let him get close again. Beth visits a children’s cancer center and meets Tilly. Returning to the hotel, Scott is shocked to see Beth’s hair is gone. She had her hair cut to make Tilly a wig.

In Denver, Bob enters the locker room while Scott uses the bathroom. Seeing Beth standing frozen and Bob telling her to give him a kiss, Scott rushes to her side, telling Bob to leave immediately, claiming to be her boyfriend. Later that evening, Scott discovers Beth has a hidden secret. She takes a step to confide in Scott, telling him the details as to why she doesn’t trust anyone. Instead of abandoning her, Scott consoles her and declares he will always be there for her. In Dallas, Beth and Scott are closer, though she still isn’t fully committed to Scott. They are spending time in a dance club when someone from the past changes the future of Wildfire’s rise to the championship.

The dive into Scott and Beth’s love/hate relationship was written tastefully. I found the sentimental recollection seen through Scott’s memory of their night in Las Vegas during K.C and Chamberlain’s wedding gave a better idea of how he was willing to abandon his playboy reputation. Beth’s visit to the Children’s Cancer Treatment Center brought tears to my eyes. I would have had the same reaction as Scott when he learned why she shaved her head. The surprise revelations were captivating. Connecting with the emotions of the two characters was effortless and the transitions between each point of view were seamless. The use of italics in Scott’s recollection of the path made it clear what point of time was being reflected. I would recommend this romance novel to mature adults who enjoy seeing both sides of a relationship as it develops.

This book was really all about Beth (K.C.’s best friend) and how she got where she is today. There is a continued love/hate relationship between her and Scott (Chamberlain’s best friend). There are really sad parts throughout the story and I feel for Beth and everything that she has gone through since she was abandoned by her mom. I wouldn’t even now how to feel if that had happened to me. Can you relate to her? Scott is a ladies man and never that a relationship could ever happen but there is just something about Beth that he can’t quite get and he realizes that he wants the same thing as Chamberlain has. Can they find love within each other or are these two destined to be alone for the rest of their lives? You need to read the series in order to really get the answer.

“Absurd” Said Bird is a cute children’s story. When Mouse wants to build a plane to go to the moon to get cheese, Bird tells him it is absurd. When Mouse’s plan doesn’t work, Bird helps him figure it out. This is a fun book to teach about teamwork. The rhyming flows beautifully and will help engage children. The lesson regarding teamwork is wonderful. The illustrations are colorful and beautiful. I highly recommend this story for small children.

The Art of Deception is the latest book in The Notebook Mysteries Series. Emma and Jeremy find themselves investigating the murder of their friend Peggy’s brother. As they investigate, they also have to juggle the care of their ward Hen. This story is very intriguing. It is interesting to see how they fit Hen into investigating. She is such a sweet and curious young lady. I loved the mystery but I also loved the family aspects. Emma and Jeremy love their friends and family, which shows in their care to disrupt things as little as possible. The story is well-written as usual. The plot is engaging and there is plenty of action in the story. This book was a very enjoyable continuation of the series.

Very relatable story for anyone with an eager learner. Once again Tricia Gardella takes you on an adventure, this time with little Joe. His first day at school his teacher takes too long to talk about reading so he decides to go on an adventure to find the “right” place to learn. The fun and colorful illustrations bring the interpretation of a child’s journey to learn how to read into an easy-to-read book for little learners. Biggest lesson he learns is patience, nothing is learned in a day, and it takes time.

This is such a cute story. I read it with my 7yo son who liked it too. He remembered being eager to learn to read as well. He couldn’t wait to read and was impatient just like Joe! He actually even looked similar to Joe except for the glasses. Even though my son is a fantastic reader now, he still gets impatient about learning things. He related to this boy throughout the whole story. Joe is a lot like other curious minded kids. We thought the illustrations were bright and beautiful too.

I had not read the first book and while this definitely is a standalone story, I absolutely had to go read book 1 as this is an incredible series and I didn’t want to miss anything. I love how detailed the author is with the storyline and descriptions, she paints a vivid story that makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. She has a wide variety of characters, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming keeping track of who is who. I loved the relationship between Claire and Trian, Claire is trying so hard to keep him at arm’s length and Trian is doing everything he can to get her to notice him, without being obvious. Seeing the characters grow and develop, both together and separately was really well done. I loved the mix of the fantasy mixed in with romance, definitely made it a fun read!

Tricia Gardella’s narrative is filled with warmth and humor. The story is a celebration of family bonds and the joy of spending time with loved ones. It effectively captures the essence of an energetic grandmother and the excitement of discovering where she might be next. While the story is tailored for children, its charm extends to readers of all ages. The playful search for Gramma is relatable and endearing, making it a great choice for family reading sessions.

This is an intense dark romance which is a very quick read, but one that will stay with you. I would recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading. The storyline focuses on an unhealthy relationship which spirals and results in physical domestic violence. For such a short book it really had me hooked. The feelings and emotions of the couple at the heart of the story really came across in the narrative. The suspicion that was felt was particularly powerful. An intriguing and emotional read, but one which I would recommend as long as the triggers are considered first.

Falling Down (Rockstar, #1)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jessie Kingston is a rock and roll star with thousands of fans but when one fan asks him for an autograph in the airport there is just something about this girl that has him wondering what if. Turn to six years later and fate has brought them together again but she is an actress and just about to star in his bands music video, can he push and get her to see the real person inside and not just the popstar.

Lucy has had a crush on the sexiest man alive for years and when she met him in the airport all those years ago she still craves after him, so when she is hired for a music video she is surprised that in walks the man of her dreams, Jessie Kingston. As he pursues her can she let her guard down and go after the once thing she has wanted for years, Jessie and Love.

I read this book ages ago and have recently re-read the series and it still hits all the places you want it to in your heart. Although I know how the series ends I was still routing for the main characters and digesting as much as the book as quickly as I could. I have been a fan of Anne Mercier since 2016 and I would recommend you read the whole series and other books she has written.

The secondary characters are brilliant and add to the depth of book and the arc these characters go on, my favourite is Sera who is a brilliant delish complex character and of course Xander who is everyone’s favourite screw up but we all love him.

Jessie is the perfect combination of complex and venerable for you to hold him in your heart and want to cuddle him but adding in Lucy and her sassy, strong attitude but seeing the warmth beneath her is just brilliant to read.

Please carry on with this great series and enjoy all the characters as they come to life on the page and you would love to be a part of the family they create.

However, things get complicated when they discover that multiple suspects are looking for money that the deceased may have been hiding. Emma and Jeremy once again have to use all their skills to solve the case. This series has just gotten better and better, and I love being back with Emma and Jeremy who are like old friends now! I was transported back in time by the descriptive narrative along with the added historical details. As usual I felt immersed in the story and was hooked by the intriguing storyline, whilst the plot twists kept me guessing. An enjoyable and engaging read.

James Moore is happy in his life, after solving one of biggest cases of him and his partners case against the mafia they are propelled into the limelight. With cases building up he is so busy, but when Tessa asks for his help he can not refuse there is just something about the baker that has him is a twist. So as the work on finding her stalker can he keep his mantra of “don’t date the clients” or will he go to the beautiful woman.

Tessa is happy building her bakery up and with the popularity growing she is in her element but there is something not quite right, when she discovers she has a stalker and the police can’t help her who can she turn to but the handsome PI James Moore. James decides to help her but as they work closely together there chemistry is off the charts but although they are attracted to each other he has a rule of not getting involved with his clients but when they start blurring the lines it becomes worth the risk.

This the first story I have read in this series and with this author and I can say I will reading more. The story can be read as a standalone and you can follow the back history of the main characters and get the gist of what they have done.

I loved the character of James with his relaxed and work obsessed life until Tessa comes into his life. The dynamic between Patrick, Evelyn and James is lovely to read and shows they really care about each other in the story. Even when James is trying to stay professional you are willing the two of them to get together.

The twists and turns in this book are brilliant to read and will have you at the end of your seat, the suspense is just enough to peak the interest and get you carry on reading til the very end. The characters are well developed and the story is brilliantly written, I will definitely be reading more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beth is a independent strong woman, she has closed herself off to everyone but when Scott comes into her life at first she is trying to push him away but can he wear her down and help her recover from her past.

When Scott sees Beth he knows he has to find out more about this woman but with him being stonewalled at every turn can he penetrate the walls of heart to see he wants her and be with her. Slowly he starts to see the true woman inside and how vulnerable she is but with his love can they survive and work through it.

This is the third book in the series and although can be read as a stand alone it is probably better to read the first two books in The Predator series as it does cover some of the story and two be honest it is a great series as well.

These two characters start off as enemies but as Beth starts to see Scott is a good guy it becomes more intense and in depth to read. Beth’s character is a dull on sassy bad a** but you start seeing the vulnerable side too her which is great to read and gives Scott the insight to her. Scott’s character is a brilliant equal and complement to Beth’s character and this had me turning the pages to try and see what happens next.

This is a novella so is short but we are not short-changed on the brilliant writing and plot to make this book a thrilling read. I recommend reading the other two books you won’t be disappointed.
