I don’t want to be just another woman you lay with for a couple of times and then what? We won’t be able to work together when the lust is gone because surely, it will disappear. This conversation is way too deep for this time of morning, so let’s change the subject. Why did you blame me for canceling your fireworks show?”

The easiest and quickest route is by auto over the causeway.”

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic & Daily Conjurings by Maria DeBlassie
This is the first book I’ve read by the author and as a non-fiction it won’t be my last. Usually I don’t do non-fiction, but when I saw this book I picked it up.
DeBlassie has a way with words and throughout the entire book you learn different things. Each chapter will teach you something new.
The quote I chose for the book is: Goodbye Old Man Gloom, today and every day. With my light, I banish you. With my light, I banish stagnate energies. With my light, I banish old selves that no longer serve me. With my light, I banish the woe others cast my way. I let the flames of my soul burn them alive until they are nothing but ash and charred bits of history, good for nothing but fuel for my cosmic compost.

Go home now, and tomorrow, return with a new attitude and work ethic if you want to continue being employed by this organization. OUT!”

This is the second book I’ve read by Tammy and I love it! She has a way of bringing the characters to life. She is an amazing author.
Zenia, Zen as everyone calls her, is excited that she is going to meet her favorite idol. She had his poster on her wall when she was 16. The quote I chose for Zen is: “If I’d known that this was the way I’d meet the swim star I’d admired since I was a teenager, I would’ve worn some perfume or at least a little more makeup. I never expected it to be this intimate.”
Sebastian, aka Seb, is a known Olympic Swimmer. He’s going back to his hometown after being away for years. This is the place where he learned to swim. The quote I chose for Seb is: “I’m serious, Zenia. I’m not throwing out empty compliments to win you over, I swear. I really mean it. I see how you talk to people, even with your family, your sister. It’s within you, this force of support and motivation. Your sweet, genuine nature makes it easier for people to believe when you tell them they can achieve anything, that their dreams are attainable. I saw it yesterday when you were talking to new clients. You honestly want to help them triumph in whatever goals they set for themselves. It’s really admirable and much more selfless than what goes on in my world of glitzy functions and media exploits.”
This is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it for you!

Ava, Gabe’s sister, is in love with the two of her best friends. One night leads to seven years of misery, hurt, and loss. When Ava comes home from work one night to see that Hunter had left something. The quote I chose for Ava: “Hunter, that night we shared was seven weeks ago. When you went for breakfast, you were mugged. You were left to die in an alley, shot and beaten, with no way to identify you. The reason I’m thirty pounds lighter is because I spiraled down after you left, stopped working and holed up in my house. I didn’t answer my phone, I didn’t answer my door, I hardly ate. Gabe got me out of the house the day he found you by kicking in my door, throwing me naked in a cold shower and yelling at me.”
Thomas is one of Ava’s best friends and lovers. Things hadn’t been good for several years due to one night that changed everything. He is yearning for his friends and lovers. The quote I chose for Thomas is: “At the beginning I tried my best to give you the benefit of the doubt but at the three-week mark, you were still incommunicado, Ava had written me off and I was as low as I’ve ever been. I quit the firm without notice and moved to a firm Kevin recommended for me. I can’t tell you how much guilt we both feel about you laying in a hospital bed while we assumed the worst of you. I think I can speak for both of us telling you that we don’t expect your forgiveness. We let you down.”
Hunter is the one who messed everything up by walking out the next morning. Things were tough for him at home and his head wasn’t straight. He didn’t understand what was happening, but he fixed it. Until a mugging goes bad that is. The quote I chose for Hunter is: “That right there is why there’s no forgiveness to ask for. All the three of us need to do is prioritize and love each other. I can’t ask for more than that. I love you both , forever and always.”

This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I so hope it won’t be my last. The Perfect Outcast is amazing and I really hope there’s more. Hansen knows what to do to capture a reader’s attention.
Pira is a beautiful place while Carthem isn’t. Pira has no flaws, but one. Alina. She looks nothing like the other women in Pira. Now, Carthem isn’t exactly like Pira would like you to believe.
Alina, Jade, and Rex are thrown into Carthem and find challenges along the way. Alina is a hero to them. The quote I chose for Alina is: “I’ll pack my bag so it’s ready for Jade to take, and then let’s go.”
Fantasy lovers you need to read this. You’ll be happy!
The Crocodile Makes No Sound (The Lord Hani Mysteries #2) by N.L. Holmes
This is the second book in The Lord Hani Mystery Series, but can be read as a standalone. Holmes has a way of bringing any of her characters to life. I enjoy all her books.
Hani is at it again, but this time it involves several royals. Things get dangerous once again when his family is involved. His brother-in-law goes missing and no one knows where he went.
Hani has his family move to the farm house as they don’t feel safe at home. Things get tough when Hani is summoned by the Queen. The quote I chose for Hani is: “It’s going to be hard for anyone to follow me through the crowds of merrymakers today. Once I’m in the country, I’ll be able to see whoever’s around as easily as they can see me.”
If you like crime books then this is one for you. I highly recommend it.

Distant Heart Sounds (A Nurse Morgan Series #1) by Kate MacInnis
This is the first book by the author that I’ve read, but I will be on the lookout for others. MacInnes has done a phenomenal job with this.
Morgan, a nurse, is now able to see things she hasn’t been able to before. Thanks to a near-death experience she knows she has roommates. The quote I chose for Morgan is: “No, it’s actually good logic. Who’s to say? Maybe I need to do more research.”
Caleb, a new doctor in town, meets a fantastic nurse. He invites her out after having a chat with her. They have something in common. They can see auras. The quote I chose for Caleb is: “You won’t believe this, but it’s almost 5:30 p.m. Would you like to go to a local place and have an early dinner? We’ve eaten so much junk today, I genuinely need some solid food to balance all the bad. How does that sound?”

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells
Kells knows how to get attention with everything she writes. So far I’ve read all The Dark Sparrow Novels and I can’t wait for more. These characters will never be forgotten.
Liam, a cop and the fourth brother to Lazarus, is upset that they didn’t bring down their father. Gabrielle had to leave as an emergency came up, but she brought a gift. Someone to cut Finch’s money. The quote I chose for Liam is: “I never played you, in any way, Catriona. I’ve never liked deception. When I kissed you, it was because I couldn’t help myself. If Deva hadn’t barged in, things would’ve gone further than a kiss. I only stopped because I think you’re making a mistake.”
Catriona, very close to becoming a nun, is brought to Chicago to help a family out. With the eldest brother being in a coma she does what she can. When she uncovers something she runs, but she saves someone else. The quote I chose for Catriona is: “We’re on this earth to make mistakes. Do you think that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about being with a man, sleeping with one? When you choose a path, you have to relinquish several more. No one goes into a religious life without considering that, otherwise, the weight of the commitment would break you in two. I haven’t slept with anyone because each time I was convinced it was the wrong decision, until you.”
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good read.

Wild Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #3) by India Kells
The third book in A Dark Sparrow Novels. Kells has really upped her game from the first two books. Lazarus is at it again with helping one of the many half brothers and Kells captures it perfectly.
Isabel is the next Dark Sparrow to be called upon the favor. What she doesn’t realize when she agrees to the meeting is she’ll be running right into the past’s arms. Jones isn’t who she expected to see and it gets better. The quote I chose for Isabel is: “No pressure. Because all I want is you.”
Kai, Delta Force, goes to another meeting in hopes to bring down his father, Finch. What he’s not expecting is for the girl who broke his heart and got away is the one that’s helping. Things don’t go as planned and it scares him. The quote I chose for Kai is: “Are you still set on returning to work tomorrow?”
Romance, suspense, twisted lovers book is for you!
Cold Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #2) by India Kells
This is the second book of A Dark Sparrow Novels. As the second book I’ve read by the author I can say I’ve enjoyed it. Kells knows how to capture a reader’s attention.
Zoe knows her languages and is requested by Beatrice for a favor. Keep an eye on one of Lazarus’s half brothers. Not sure what she’s getting herself into she goes. She finds herself going back to the past. The quote I chose for Zoe is: “You had love in your life, and even if you struggled and battled through some tough times, you had a choice to do something with it. Grabbing that power. I will never judge you for the decisions you made, that path on the dark side. I would have done the same thing. Hell, I’m doing it right now. At least love brought you back. You always have a choice, Archer. Never forget that.”
Archer Blackwood, moves from London to Chicago, a cold man needs someone who can translate languages for him. What he doesn’t know is his half brother is really looking out for him. Zoe has thawed the cold man a little. The quote I chose for Archer is: “Don’t put yourself in danger, do you hear me? Steer clear of Finch. You’re mine.”
