Wow! What a wonderful finish to the trilogy! I’ll Love You Tomorrow is Lauren and Mitch’s story. Lauren and Mitch have known each other since childhood, so marriage was a natural progression. The wedded bliss has faded; Lauren wrestles 24/7 keeping her restaurant afloat, and Mitch has become distant. I’ll Love You Tomorrow was a page-turner. The characters and story are well-written. You cannot help but to root for this couple! This is a trilogy that I will read over again!

I have read a few books Lois Wickstrom and all of them I have enjoyed. What I loved most about this book is it teaches children to use their imagination. The book includes some science about magnets. I read this book to my 9 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it as well. The details and world building was good. If you are wanting to teach your children to use their imagination, I think this would be a great book to read to them.

I loved this story so, so much! Every time I read a book by this author I know that I am in for a brilliant read and yet again she didn’t disappoint with this opener to her new series. Adrian …. What can I say about Adrian – he was just one of the best characters I’ve read about this year, I think I fell in love with him the very first moment I started reading about him. I love how he stepped up as soon as he though Brinley was in trouble. He’s definitely the type of person you want to protect you in a scary situation. I liked Brinley too, she was a really down to earth character who really just wanted a quiet life with her friends. Overall I really loved this story and I’m exciting to read about more of the characters in the next story.

This is the third and final book in this trilogy and what a book to end it on. I loved the first two books in the series and couldn’t wait to get started on this one and I wasn’t disappointed. This story was about Mitch and Lauren. Both of these characters were clearly struggling in their marriage and their journey in this story wasn’t the easiest but I was rooting for them all along because it was clear that they still loved each other but had just lost their way with the relationship. Yes they both made mistakes but reading about them and waiting to see if they would find their way back to each other kept turning the pages for sure. The authors writing was again flawless in this book and I am definitely going to be eagerly awaiting whatever she may come out with next.

I chose to read this book because we think my daughter has a higher functioning Autism and can’t get her tested for it for another year. I love how the story tells about the daily struggles Emerson goes through being a teenager who has non verbal Autism. I felt like the book was relatable because I have a friend who’s son is non verbal with Autism. If you don’t know much about Autism, I feel like this book can teach you a lot about it. The details was great. I have no complaints at all who this story was written. I think it was written beautifully!
This is the third book in the Waterfyre Rising Series. Even though it is part of a series these books can be read as a standalone as the main story focuses on individual couples. One thing i love about this series is that author attention to detail and character building. Her characters have so much depth and back stories that you can’t help be captivated by their story and how it unfolds
In this story we meet Grayson and Natalie.
Grayson has had a tough upbringing after witnessing a murder with his friends and then suffering more lies and betrayal in his family he has grown to become a man who trusts no one and allows no one to get to close to him. Relationships aren’t something he does as he loses interest too quick that is until he meets Natalie. Natalie is quick witted, she had a spark about her and she’s not afraid to bite back which makes her interesting to Grayson. Shes not like other women.
Natalie however, isn’t all she seems to be. She too is hiding secrets and lies revolving her family which is she on the hunt to find the truth too. The last thing she needs is to get distracted by a man. Especially a man that makes her blood boil as much as Greyson does. Why does he have this effect on her? Why does she allow him to possess so much control over her feelings?
This is a steamy enemies to lovers romance story which will keep the reader gripped till the end. As secrets start to be unraveled between them and their closeness grows will Natalie be able to break down the wall around Greysons heart or are they both too damaged to be able to fixed the damage they have already suffered?

This is a glimpse into what it is like for Emerson to live with Autism. It is a very unique perspective to see things through her eyes and ears. I have a sister who is non-verbal and we have always wondered about what she understands and what she doesn’t. This book will challenge how we speak to and think about those who don’t have words to express what they are feeling inside.
This was. an interesting read, set in 1800s Paris, but complete with automatons, robots, and other futuristic technologies. One of my favorite aspects of this book is the twin sisters, Jacquie and Angel play off each other well, one being an artist/musician and one loves tinkering with metal in her workshop. It takes both of them, with their unique skill sets, to solve the issue of ending an engineered war.
I appreciated the use of French language peppered through the book, but appreciated the translator built into my Kindle. This added to the atmosphere of feeling like you were in 1800s Paris.

Isla just slays me with every book she writes but this one… WOW. I laughed I cried and I was in utter turmoil but in the best way if that makes sense. The chemistry is out of this world and the book is definitely not for the faint of heart. She writes in such a way that makes you feel every single thing and it truly takes you to a different place. Honestly couldn’t reccommend enough

Little Red, the Detective is similar to Red Riding Hood in some ways, but with a little twist. Red (real name Maureen) got her nickname because her grandmother knitted her a sweater that she wore all the time and it happened to be red. Her grandmother called her to come over for a new sweater but asked her to pick her some flowers to make tea along her way. Packing her plant book to help her look for the flowers, cookies for grandma that she and her mom made, and her flinger print kit she sets off to grandma’s house. While looking for the flowers, a wolf comes along and helps her find some purple flowers that smell like vanilla. She stops to look them up in her book and the wolf runs ahead to grandma’s house. The wolf then eats grandma and Red has to use her detective skills to see if Grandma is really Grandma. I don’t want to give it all away, but it’s a super cute book and take on an old classic tale. I thought that my 8 year old would love this book, but I think that younger kids would enjoy it as well. You could easily read this to a 5 year old. This author is great at adding in some “learning” into her books, which I LOVE! For example, in this book you learn a little about finger prints. Check this book out, but also her other ones too! I have a few of them now, and my daughter’s and I love them all so far!!
Lois Wickstrom teaches the way magnets work and what ways you can use them. This is a fun story that caters to the youth and teaches them how to use their imagination and scientific uses for magnets. A book that could be used in a science class to help children better understand magnets and is fun enough for them to actually listen.

This book is an amazing insight of what it’s like being nonverbal and a teenager. There are many issues that present themselves in the teenage years but what if you can’t voice them and tell someone how everything feels. I really enjoyed reading this book and seeing how Emerson’s mind works and how she deals with it day to day. A great read to help you understand what it is like to be nonverbal.
Being an educator, I absolutely fell in love with Emerson and her struggles to fit into a verbal, speaking world; I love trying to put myself in students’s shoes to enhance my practice. Noneducators and educators alike will find her very likable, and the realism in the book between the interactions between Emerson and her parents, parents and the teachers, etc. make the story very realistic and poignant to any reader.
Be warned, however, to have tissues nearby- Emerson tries so hard to adapt and find her place in the world, I got a little teary with her struggles (which I normally don’t with books). The writing is wonderful, I didn’t put it down until I finished the entire book in one sitting. Molly Zenk captures the teenage world perfectly and makes one aware of a very difficult time period for a special girl Emerson.

This is my third book I have read in this trilogy and the author has NOT disappoint in any of them!! The world building and character details are amazing. She grabs your attention from the first page to the very last. I hope she writes more books because I would like to know more how Lauren and Mitch’s relationship turns out in the end of the series. I highly recommend this trilogy!!!

The amazing ending to a magical journey. Oh, I have enjoyed traveling with Wilf on this trip as he learned about his magic and the adventures he was on to save his family and the magical world. This story was full of adventure, drama, a little of everything you could ask for. It all fit together and came together so nicely to bring a close to this trilogy. The characters have been just that. The author has give them such personalities that some of them, like Ermentrude, felt like they might be your cranky neighbor. All Wilf ever wanted to do was the right thing. This has been an amazing series. I do recommend reading from the first book, it will make more sense.

I like that the author has a few different cases being worked simultaneously but the way she writes never makes you feel lost. Any one of the books in the series can be read as a standalone, you don’t have to read them in chronological order to get any back story. This books deals with a divorce, someone sending poison pen letters to a senior living facility, and a father trying to find his daughter. The team has to split up so all the cases can be worked simultaneously and it will take some coordination and co-operation from each member to keep this well oiled machine running. Will the daughter be found safe? Will they catch the culprit behind the nasty letters and get to reveal his motive? How much more will the wife in the divorce be able to take before she throws in the towel? So many things were going on in this book but it was sure entertaining. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

4.5/5 Stars This book is so good! Lauren & Mitch pulled at my heart strings. It’s a redemption love story that hits all the feels. This is apart of a series, but just like the previous books, it makes a great stand alone too. It’s not confusing to jump into the series with this book. It would make a great TV drama too.

Brinley and Adrian are brilliantly written! Brinley is no stereotypical, weak female but Adrian is still the strong, male protector which I love! I love the town of Morris Valley and its many characters – young and old, they’re all brilliant! Definitely looking forward to reading more in this series!

The thing about this book that captured my attention was the description of the student-teacher relationship. Cassandra has admired Chandler basically her whole life. She followed his acrobatic career in the circus. When she gets the chance to work with him as her mentor, she quickly begins absorbing information from his knowledge and experience. Chandler knew from his first glance at Cassandra that he wanted to be the one to show her the silks used in his circus act. Their feelings for each other quickly develop beyond a mere professional relationship. However, tension follows them as they both are keeping secrets from each other. I didn’t realize until the end of the story that this is actually the start of the series, but I feel like the story Ms. Snow penned wraps up the introduction to Cassandra and Chandler’s lives. It also left enough of a cliffhanger that I am excited to read the next book. There are some spicy bits, that enhance the story in my opinion.

This was a good 5 star read. Brinley had a good group of friends, when her family moved she tried to stay in touch with her friends. She has accomplished quite a bit, she is an olympian. When she is put in danger she decides to go home. When she meets Adrian there is an instant connection. Adrian had no plans for a relationship but something about Brinley calls to him. When her stalker comes to town things take a scary twist. Will Adrian be able to keep her safe? Will this bring them closer? I really enjoyed all of the characters, they added a great element to the story. The author pulled me in with her writing and I didn’t want to put it down. I look forward to reading more from her. 1- click and get started today.

Holy wow. So, this is the first book I have read by the incredible Reggi Dupree, and I am so sad it took me six months to find this gem. This is by far one of my favorite books of the year. Gwendolyn Carter is the last member of her matriarchal bloodline. While that could be viewed as a good thing to some considering the stunning house and fortune to change her entire life, Gwen is not an average person. Forty-fifth birthday, the curse that had claimed the lives of every woman in her bloodline at a young age was rumored to end if you made it past your forty-fifth birthday alive. Only she is shot in the back and killed but she’s from Hoodoo, Texas and death isn’t one of those black and white finalities. Twenty-seven years ago, at the age of eighteen Gwen had been forced out of her hometown, accused of murdering one of her best friends. Now summoned back for a mysterious inheritance and a promise to her mother after he second death, to return to Hoodoo and find answers. Twelve hours, that’s how long she allotted to being back in the town that threw her away nearly three decades earlier. A catch to keep her legacy intact leads to her having to live in the family home for six months to receive her inheritance, seems simple enough, right? Her first love Carlos, who betrayed her, is now the sheriff. The man Ash that she met just before she was shot suddenly appears in Hoodoo. Duncan her best friend that forced her into a blood vow to keep his dark secrets, whose lies written in his journal led to her being accused of murder and ran out of town haunts her everyday since his death when they were eighteen. He warns her that he wasn’t the only one lying to her back then that she needs to know the truth to protect herself, and now the evil has returned and is near his sister Rita and his mom. Needing her help, he begs for her to listen if afterwards she’s done with him, he will leave her alone for good if she listens. Carlos warns her that Ash isn’t what he claims, but what is he? Her new home holds the history of her family, but will she survive long enough to discover its truths? What is “the Evil” and why is it back? The world the author creates sucks you in, with its wonder, mystery, and humor. While the cover drew me in, making me curious about the boots, the synopsis had me ready to jump into the pages and discover the truth for myself. From start to finish this book keeps you on your toes and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this amazing series, Conjure Ink. Also, I am going to have to go back and read the novella Hoodoo Heaven, the prequel of Return to Hoodoo, when she meets Ash.

Love this prequel to the new series Hidden Valley Elite by Isla Vaughn. It introduces us to the two main characters Cole and Riley, who meet each other at a party. What they don’t realize at the time is that this meeting will affect their lives in many ways in the near future. This prequel is easy to read and sets the atmosphere for the series beginning. Riley is very independent and has grown up with a single mom and are both ready to be on the run at any given time. Cole is the high school jock that every girl seems to want to be with. Although Cole’s family is rich, their life is messed up in a different way. Where will their lives lead after their encounter?
Savage Lies: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1)
For someone who usually gets annoyed with the dark agnsty books I was surprised by how into this book I got. I read the Prequel and knew I had to read this one as soon as I could. I couldn’t put it down and was more than happy to finish it when home sick.
Riley and Cole have incredibly strong feelings towards one another even if they are conflicted. Cole refuses to listen to reason when it come to Riley, but at the same time has a hard time staying away from her.
Definitely looking forward to the second part of their Duet for so many reasons, especially the answers to all of my questions.

The Crown Of Stones: Magic-Borne Book 3 By: C.L Schneider Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
The Crown Of Stones series has kept me on the edge of my seat for three books straight! This final installment did not disappoint at all! This book and series is written with such passion and grace! The world and the characters just jump off the page and you cannot help but feel for their lows and root for their highs! As a lover of Lord Of The Rings and The Witcher, this series was completely satisfying from the first page of the first book (The Crown Of Stones: Magic-Price) to the last page of the last book (The Crown Of Stones: Magic- Borne). I will truly miss reading about Ian Troy, Jarryd Kane, and Malaq and their adventures. I really hope Schneider will continue this series so this epic journey doesn’t have to end! I highly highly recommend The Crown of Stones series to anyone looking to take an epic journey of their own!

Schneider – Review by Susan Ratchford
How can you crave someone so deeply and loathe them at the same time? This is what Riley and Cole are trying to figure out as their battle of wits encounters many ups and downs for each.
I devoured the prequel, Savage Start, where we first met Riley, the quick thinker who has grown up helping her mom with numerous cons, and Cole, one of the ELITES of Hidden Valley. It isn’t a necessity to read the prequel, but I would highly suggest it as it’s an enjoyable read that made me see a softer side of Cole than the one we see now. It also lets you in on the backstory of why there is so much tension and heat between the two. This book alludes to it but doesn’t go into specifics.
Savage Lies picks up one year after the prequel (Savage Start) when Riley moves back to the town of Santa Monica that Cole lives in. Cole isn’t your typical good-looking jock though he pretends to be, all he is trying to do is take care of his brother and cousins while evading his father until he can escape to college next year, but Riley and her mom throw a wedge into his plans. It’s barely been a year since Cole’s mom passed away, now his father has already moved on, which upsets Damon (Cole’s brother) and Cole tremendously. The tension continues to build as Cole takes part of his frustration out on Riley, though she doesn’t back down, proving that he might just have met his match. Be aware, this book ends on a cliffhanger that has me counting the days until Savage Truth comes out on April 27th, 2023.
