This is book two in the series and it is amazing. This book makes it hard for you to stop reading and go do other things. You will find yourself sitting in your chair and not wanting to do anything but get lost in the world of mafia. You will keep turning the pages because you have to know what it next. This book has deep character connections and growth. This also has all the dark mysterious grit that you get with mafia romance. This author is amazing at developing string emotional connections between the reader and the characters; with that you get very deep character growth. This is a fast paced book because the plot keeps your interest and turning the pages. The twists and turns that the book takes will have you on the edge of your seat and scratching your head because you just don’t predict some of them. I highly recommend reading this book if you like mafia romance but more importantly like character development with an amazing plot. Reviewed by: @bbohls View all my reviews

I absolutely love just about everything Gwyn McNamee writes and this is no exception!
This is the second book in the “The Hawke Family Second Generation” series. While it can be read as standalone, I do highly suggest not only reading the Book 1 in the Second-Generation, but also reading all of the books in the First-Generation Hawke Family. There is a ton of useful information in all of the books that make the reading experience that much better and easier to make deeper connections.
This is book includes tropes such as forbidden romance, billionaires, reverse age gap (The woman is older), Best friends’ older sister. There is a good bit of angsty, spicy romance scenes that are AMAZING! One of the main points, the author, Gwyn, is trying to get across is that blood doesn’t necessarily make you family, your heart and the love you share makes you family.
The forbidden romance is between Jude, who technically is not a Hawke, but has been best friends with Alessi since they were 10, and Alessi’s older sister Angelina (Angie). Alessi and Angelina are the children of Storm Hawke.
Jude has only ever had one obsession, one woman who stands taller than all of the rest, and it is the one person who he cannot have. He is teetering hard on whether or not he should keep ignoring his feelings for Angie, or if it is time to come clean and hopefully have a shot at his happily ever after — his family PLUS the girl.
Angie pretty much despises relationships, and always has due to losing her father at such a young age. But she cannot deny the insane pull she has to Jude – who is also forbidden, he is technically family after all.
In the midst of Angie’s sibling Alessi going missing, lying about small things, avoiding family members. Her and Jude now have to work side by side to figure out what the heck is going on. Now that they are together regularly, that pull, and connection only grows stronger. They both have had so many obstacles and more heartache than a person should deal with, but neither allow themselves to open up which causes them to be misunderstood quite a bit.
Prepare to be captivated by this series, as Gwyn never fails to deliver a compelling storyline filled with romance, danger, family, love, and angst. But what truly sets this series apart is the emotional rollercoaster it takes you on as a reader. Each book allows you to intimately know the characters, every word resonating with you long after you’ve finished reading.

Gwyn has done it again! Just like all the other books of her’s that I have read, this one captures you in it’s grip and you don’t even care. Until the book ends and you can’t wait for more! You don’t need to read the first generation to read this one, but let me tell you that once you get into these you will want to go back and read them! They are all so, so good! So, just trust me and read them all!! LOL. And make sure you read the prequels too! So much good stuff in them all! Reticent Hawke is about Angie and Jude’s story. This one was so gripping. You get to learn more about the allusive Jude who was kind of adopted into the family. He hates being apart of the family, but that’s because he loves one of them. He sits in his window, hidden away from everyone, watching. Jude had a very horrible start to life and because of it he has locked himself away. Building up walls to keep people away from him. Allie is the exception. She is his best friend and one of the only people to see him in person in two years. When Allie starts to act weird and disappears for days he and Angie team up to find out what’s going on. Even when she comes clean she’s hiding something and they both know it. Getting to the bottom of her secrets is going to be tricky. To top it off a pesky company is gunning for Angie’s coffee shop along with the other Hawke family businesses. Will they finally find out who is behind it? Boy oh boy! I don’t want to give anything away, but you have to read this one!! Curl up with a drink, some tissues, and get ready to get sucked in!

Oathbreakers Anonymous by Scott Warren- 5 out of 5 stars
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was not disappointed. It is packed full of adventure! A very hard book to put down for sure. It will have you tearing through the pages, craving more and more. Originally I was expecting to not like this book but I will admit that I quit enjoyed it. Don’t judge a book by its cover because it will make you miss out on the magic within. Highly recommend this book.

Vampires of Atlantis by Courtney Davis- 4 out of 5 stars
An interesting, paranormal book full of myths and legends, all centered around Atlantis. What if Atlantis truly was ruled by vampires? The author gave life to a unique book and I found it to be very captivating. I do feel like the story was rushed at times though. I wish there was more to the story.

This book is a Prequel to Nolan (Isaac) and Jack’s story. I actually didn’t read this prequel first, but I wish I had. It just gives their story a little taste of what’s to come and man oh man is it good!! Isaac just finishing law school decides a night of celebrating is needed before he heads back to NOLA to help run the Hawke empire. With his whole life mapped out for him settling into the family business can wait a couple days. He just happens to have his sites on a red head that would fill those days before life and family demands him back. Jack has slipped out and gone to a dive bar no one would ever think to look for her at. She wants some much needed time away from her life and family. Playing pool and having a few drinks with Nolan is harmless. She’s looking for a fun distraction and so is he. No strings. Not giving each other their real names they set out to have a great one night stand with each other. Their one night stand turns into two and before they know it this have changed. This book is steamy! It will have you rushing to grab their story asap, so you can dive right in some more. More than one of Gwyn’s books has had me up late reading when I should have been sleeping! LOL 🙂

The Anchor Knot: securing the Knot of truth- 4 out of 5 stars
Wow! Although this is the sixth and final book in the collection, I feel like it worked great as a stand alone. I do encourage readers to start from book one in the series so they do not miss details about different characters. Romance, secrets, lies, greif, this book as a whirlwind of emotions entangled throughout. This book can empower women to speak up and have a voice amongst all the chaos. The author did a great job and I recommend trying out this series.

Great romance! If you like love stories, this is definitely for you. I do have to say though that at times I was a bit triggered. Second book in the series but it can be read as a stand alone. Pretty good book, all in all. I do recommend reading the first book as well.

This was a quick read for me and I read it in a day. That said it is an amazing read and grips you from he beginning. You get all the feels straight from the first chapter. You feel connected to the characters refuse. You can relate to either knowing someone like them or because you were one of them in high school. The situation that happens between the main characters in high school sets the tone for the remainder of the book. You will keep turning pages to figure out if the leading female will get over what happened or if the leading male will figure things out and possibly grow up. There is a decent amount of steam in this book that feels natural to the situation. There is character development and growth throughout the book as the characters get older in life. It is a sweet story that has you hooked and rooting for the characters. Even though it is the 4th book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. I haven’t actually read the others in the series and this book makes me want to go and read them all. Reviewed by: @bbohls

This is book two in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series. It begins at the exact moment book 1 ends.
Kodiak and Tamaska are both still actively looking for the stolen Blood Opal. Tamaska wants absolutely nothing to do with Kodiak, but she can’t deny the pull she has towards him. Kodiak tries to protect her as much as possible, but it seems to be an impossible task. Their relationship is a forbidden love.
I think the characters in this book are a little bit more tolerable than they were in book 1. I do think this book is definitely better than book 1, and I am eager to read book 3.
Tamaska puts herself in more harm’s way (The Vampires) and Kodiak is having to answer to the pack.
What makes Tamaska so special that the vampires keep coming for her? Will they be able to put away their fears and succumb to their intense connection? Even if they embrace their relationship, will the pack accept her?
I recommend reading this series, but the characters put a damper on the storyline for me. I will continue to read to finish the storyline!

This is the first book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series.
It is in dual POV of the two main characters, Tamaska and Kodiak.
Tamaska is a woman who is on the path to success. She is an event coordinator, and the auction of the Blood Opal may be her ticket to her own company.
Kodiak is the beta in the Wolf Shifter Pack. The pack is having to learn how to adapt to modern times. They have created the Shadow Protection company to earn an income as security. In addition to their modern job, they are meant to protect all humans. Everything had been smooth with the vampires, or was it all a smoke screen?
Kodiak and his team were last-minute security added to Tamaska’s event. Immediately, they had a strong distaste for each other, but neither could deny the immense attraction. During the event, Kodiak notices the presence of vampires. While his sole duty was to stand guard at the glass case, he left his post for a mere second in order to save Tamaska, who was drugged by a vampire.
Will they get the blood opal back? Is it even possible for a relationship to blossom between Kodiak and Tamaska? One is a wolf shifter who hates humans, and the other is a human who hates dogs.
What is so special about the blood opal that makes everyone want it so badly?
I love the storyline and plot. It is a wonderful mystery of who is lying, who is on whose side, and ultimately what is everyone’s motives. The heated scenes with Tamaska and Kodiak are amazing.
With saying all of that, I strongly dislike ALL of the characters…. they are all insanely immature and slightly annoying. I completely understand the push/pull dynamic with Tamaska and Kodiak, but when it is explaining their thoughts, they are very whiny and sometimes don’t even make any sense. The entire Shifter pack I dislike as well. It seems that literally none of them care for each other.
I will continue to read the next book because of the storyline, and I hope the characters get better along the way.

The Silent Woodsman had me on my toes for quite a while! Almost the whole book I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I kept hoping Ali would find her way back to her woodsman somehow, but man was it hopeless!! Ali was told that her brother was killed in an explosion, but she refuses to believe it. She FEELS that her twin is still alive and out there somewhere. In an attempt to get a sign from him, she goes for a hike in the rainforest. They loved to hike together, so she finds a fitting area to hike. Getting trapped in a sudden storm she seeks shelter in the only random remote cabin around. Fortunately for her JJ (Joe) isn’t an ax murderer who has people cut up in the walls! Unfortunately for them both though, JJ can’t speak due to his vocal chores healing and being under orders to completely rest his voice. Trapped together for a couple days with only paper and pen, charades, and facial expressions to communicate the two get a little closer. Ali is the main speaker, but JJ keeps his identity a secret and with much regret he never tells her who he is. She leaves back to her life after an unforgettable kiss and he slowly gets back to his own as well. He searches for her, calling every coffee shop he can, but never finds her. She dreams of him, but knows it’s hopeless with only knowing his nickname JJ. When she runs into his double she has a spark of hope, but it’s quickly dashed away. Can either of them move on? Will they forever pine for the one who got away? There are a few twists that will have you wondering how this book will end, but I don’t want to give an hints. Very up and down with the storyline that will keep you guessing. You just have to read it yourself to see how it ends though!! I can’t wait to read the 2nd book to the series soon, which is about her twin brother!!

Liz’s Road Trip by Bernadette Marie- 4 out of 5 stars
First book I have read from this author. I found the book to be really sweet and entertaining. The characters and their personalities were well developed but at times I struggled to get past some parts. The book follows Liz as she discovers her grandmother’s hidden life after she passed away. All in all it was an easy read.

When I was a little girl, I had a blankie that I took around with me. So did my youngest son. Lilly has a bunny. These are soothing items that have special powers to help us when we are anxious or scared. Lilly accidently forgets her bunny and when she gets to school she is full of anxiety. The school nurse helps her to learn some techniques she can use when she feels anxious. The story explains where the anxious feelings come from. This would be a great book to get if your child is anxious and needs to understand where those feelings come from.

So cute! This adorable book is full of colorful images that attract little ones to the pages. I love how this book is both educational and fun. As a parent I appreciate the sing-song rhythms because my children absorb information easier when the books are not boring. This book is anything but. I highly recommend this book for even the littlest of readers.

This is an amazingly written enemies to lovers trope. I was constantly turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. The hate to hate to maybe like to love is beyond what I was expecting. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming but were everything to the story line. The growth of the characters felt organic and not rushed or dragged out. The flow of the book was well done. It didn’t feel like certain scenes carried on or others were rushed. It was a very steady fast pace. Well, not super fast, I just read fast. This book made it hard to put down and I found myself getting agitated at anyone who interrupted me reading. This is how you know it is a good book. I highly recommend reading this if you just want to escape for a few and forget about your day to day.

Refrain (Off the Record) by Madelynne Ellis- 5 out of 5 stars
This is the third book in this amazing series. Let me just tell you, WOW, it takes you into a rabbit hole. The intensity that Spook goes through with his mental health is heartbreaking. After his soul mate’s brothers attacked him, Spook withdrew and ran from everything. I wanted to jump into the pages and give him a hug. This is definitely a must read! I do recommend reading from book one so that you don’t miss any important character developments.

The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider- 5 out of 5 stars
The Wandering Isles is a novella that takes place after The Crown of Stones series. This book follows Ian and his friend Jarryd as they set sail for the abandoned Wandering Isles. Only the joke was on them. The Isles were inhabited by magic beings and soon their past comes back to haunt them as they struggle to determine their reality. This book was riveting! I absolutely love how the author kept me captivated and craving more. I am excited to see what else this author has in store for the future.

Fortune’s Favorite by C.L. Schneider- 5 out of 5 stars
C.L. Schneider deserves a round of applause. This book was a great second addition in the series. Mystery and magic, risk and sacrifice, you will be on the edge of your seat the whole time. I recommend reading the first book in the series so that you get a better background on the characters. I don’t want to risk ruining this action-packed adventure for anyone, just know it is worth it.

Lilly tames her worries by Carole Heaney- 5 out of 5 stars
I loved this book! My own daughter has anxiety and sometimes it can be really hard for her to calm down. Lilly learns to cope with her anxiety throughout this book and I found it to be informative. I love how easy the book is to read and how educational it was. I definitely recommend reading this book.

Back to the 80’s by S.E. Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan- 5 out of 5 stars
So nostalgic! Very easy to read and it will get you stuck in your feelings. The authors did a great job with this fun book. I would consider this to be a rom-com type book. I recommend reading this book, you will not regret it.

Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan – Review by Elisha Johnson
I chose this book in mind of my kids going back to school this week. Children often have emotions that affect their bodies and many times they don’t know how to manage any of it. This book helps kids understand why it is happening and it offers a couple of solutions to help navigate those feelings. In this book the main character Lilly forgets her favorite stuffed rabbit at home. She uses this stuffed rabbit as a support stuffy. When she gets those pesky heebie-jeebies she would normally rub her rabbit’s ear, but because she forgot it at home she can’t. Once at school she sees the nurse who helps her with a breathing exercise that calms her down. A new friend at recess also shows her another way to help with belly butterflies. Throughout the book Lilly learns many things about her emotions and how they make her body feel. I would defiantly recommend this book to kids! My youngest daughter is eight, but I would say reading this to younger kids would be great as well. They younger they learn about their emotions and how they can affect your body the better. The illustrations are also wonderful! You can see the heebi-jeebies floating around her throughout the book. I can’t wait to read more from this author with my kids!
This book was so good!! I am so glad that I read it and I can’t wait to read more from this author! This one was a first from her, but defiantly won’t be a last for sure! Ava and Matthias don’t get along. He’s never been nice to her, but she’s best friend’s with his brother Theo so she’s always around. Growing up together their families are super close, but she doesn’t know why he always looks so miserable around her and every word towards her is cruel. She hates the way he treats her and for the life of her she doesn’t know what she ever did to make him hate her. One winter day after an argument and fall Ava is laid up at the estate. Then if things couldn’t get worse they’re snowed into the estate, while the rest of the Kings and her father are snowed out in New York. I don’t want to give to much away, but one thing leads to another and the next thing she knows, she’s in this crazy love triangle with him and Theo! Who will she end up with? I really liked both brothers for her in different ways, but I never saw some of the twists in this book coming! If you love a good contemporary romance, enemies to lovers, a little jealousy, and easy banter between characters this is one you need to add to your to-read list!
