I really enjoyed this book, I wasn’t sure I would as to begin with I found it rather heavy for my usual fantasy read, but once I was a few chapters in I was hooked.<br />The story follows Ian a Shinree (magic wielding) soldier as the lands fight over the right to control areas. Shinree are either slaves or healers, so in this Ian is an anomaly. <br />Both armies are killed when he releases his magic after the queen dies, and then he is a hired hand, <br />The Character development and world building is great and we meet many other magical and observant people as he finds his way, Malaq is another character that after a meeting becomes an integral part of the story.<br />Plot twists and storytelling keep you truly engaged with the author. I am away to read book 2 straight away as I need to know what happens.<br />If you like indepth stories this is the one for you. I now need to find a quiet place to dive into book 2<br />

Wow I managed to go straight into book three of this series and I was not disappointed. <br />Again we find the characters from the previous 2 books all making appearances as Chris finds it is his time to have his story told. Rowan needs a knight to step up and be her partner in a fake relationship.<br />There is certainly chemistry, and the well written banter between the characters that I have come to enjoy from this author. The story is interwoven with the previous stories (as with His Forever Muse book 2 in the series).<br />The author continues to give us romance with a twist, angst and emotions. I feel that it can be read as part pf the series or as a stand alone. Personally in the series you get to see the bigger picture and get a full feel for how the author builds their worlds.

How happy was I to read the second book in the series soon after the first.<br />In the follow up book to Echoing Hearts we follow Brandon artist in paint and music as he finds himself. Re-kindling the relationship with his best friend’s sister from their friendship 15 years previously.<br />Calli has lived through a lot since she left home, never feeling like she met the expectations of those around her, she moves away, and falls in love. This is pretty short lived. Leaving her life behind for a second time she is reintroduced to Brandon.<br />Callis past will not stay in the past and she finds herself in trouble again.<br />Another really enjoyable contemporary romance; with a definite twist. The characters have developed well in their own story with snippets of the other characters we have already met. This book can be read as a standalone as well as in the series.<br />

What a well written contemporary romance with a twist on the trust issues that come along with great friendships and non-traditional families.<br />Dean entrepreneur with a history that ensures he does not open his heart to anyone, and Rae solo traveling writer who has history too. <br />They meet under coincidental circumstances and then the sparks fly, but neither of them will admit to it. The question is can they move forward without visiting their pasts; accepting each other’s lives, family and friends. <br />They both go their separate ways only to be brought back together, trust issues, and character flaws make this book a really interesting read. The character development finds one making the move whilst the other backs off then the tables are turned in a true yo-yo of emotions. <br />Emotional and heart-warming the world built by the author has room to evolve into a wider story involving other characters.<br />

Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this gripping series, I was looking forward to this eighth instalment and once again the author delivers. I loved being back with PI Madeline Dawkins and Mike and feel invested in these main characters now. Madeline has been summoned to the assisted living complex, Monte Verde, where Mack her father lives. However, instead of a personal problem, the facility director enlists Madeline and her team at MDPI to help discover who is sending poison pen letters to the residents, someone who seems to know their past dark secrets. If these secrets are exposed then it could have devastating consequences for those involved, however the deeper Madeline looks she soon learns that everyone seems to have something their hiding.
Another case is a client of the attorney next door to the office of MDPI, who’s going through a very ugly divorce, where the estranged husband is being particularly intimidating in order to wear his wife down. The husband wants to force her into relinquishing her share of the couples community property assets, but his tactics are almost criminal. This was another fast paced page turner which had me captivated from start to finish. The plot kept me guessing, and the wonderfully descriptive narrative brought the characters and setting to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. I’m already looking forward to book nine!

Unexpected Entanglement (Book 3 of the Echo Series)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rowan Kelly and her family are enjoying refurbishing their family farm and Inn. With her brother Kieran running the farm and making it a success, the building work is going along on the Inn which is her domain. When one night her Dad decides to divulge a secret which rocks the family but also leaves Rowan and her brother in limbo.

Chris is visiting the Farm and Inn which Rae has been informed that she has a third in, but that her siblings are just getting over the shock of her arrival on the scene, so as Rae’s friend he offered to scope out the Inn and see what is going on.

Once Chris arrives he is instantly drawn to Rowan and with things mysteriously going wrong at the Inn and trying to cater for Rowan’s cousin’s wedding, can they find the saboteur and making the wedding a success in a matter of weeks. All trying to juggle Rae arriving and a fake engagement, you will have to delve in to find out.

I love this series and was waiting for Chris’s book as he has flitted in and out of the past two books you don’t really get to the bones of the man until this book. This can be read as a stand alone book as the author does reference some information from previous stories which enhances and adds information to this story.

I loved the chemistry between these two characters and that at first they were prickly to each other but as they got to know each other you are just willing them to believe they are meant for each other. I loved the secondary characters and would love to read Kieran’s story in the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very intriguing story !! Carefully thought out, planned and executed. A little pg13 romance, mystery, and magic really served this reader well.

I enjoyed the twists and turns including the ties between the main characters. It all turned into a beautifully thought out plot maintained with a great amount of detail. Linking past to present giving a deeper understanding of each character.

I thoroughly enjoyed the end; experiencing the girls as children in their father’s presence was heartwarming.

In the end I finished the story hoping for a second to see how the love stories all turned out. Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but that feel. That feeling is how I define a good book.

Rejected by a teenage god.

Lies so dangerous our lives are at stake.

A game worth playing.

Cole Savage doesn’t hate anyone as much as he hates me… or the fact that he wants me just as much.

We all have issues, and the less he knows about me, the better. I just have to keep him unbalanced, which is harder than I thought it would be.

Yeah, he wants me.

But I want him just as much.

And that’s a secret I’ll kill over.

Until I overhear Cole saying “she’s not my type.”

Game on, pretty boy.

Because the kiss that seared me to my core told a different story.

Let’s see how tall and proud he walks when I put him in his place—which is hands-off of me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rowan has inherited her family’s inn and wants to prove herself worthy. What better way to do that than to plan an amazing wedding for her cousin?!? Even though the inn might not be fully ready…and she doesn’t quite have the staff she needs…she (begrudgingly, at first) accepts the help of a stranger.

Chris comes to the island on vacation, and as a favor to a friend to check on the inn. What he doesn’t plan on doing is helping to plan a wedding and pretending to be the fiancé of the inn’s owner. He also doesn’t plan on the intense attraction the two have. But, when things start to get crazy, will Chris and Rowan be able to work together to get to the bottom of it?

I was really rooting for these two. This book has so much going on…love, loss, grief, drama, banter, angst, fake relationship, sabotage, healing…the list goes on and on. The author does such a good job at keeping you guessing til the end and making these characters feel so real. As the third book in the series…it can definitely be read as a standalone. However, C.R. Alam leaves lots of little gems in this book that refer to previous books in the series. This is a good book that I enjoyed reading.

Little Red, the Detective: a science folktale (Science Folktales)Little Red, the Detective: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has a science twist to the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. This is one of the books in the science folk tales series written by Lois Wickstrom. Little Red heads over to the forest to get purple cone flowers which her grandmother has asked her to bring for tea. She cannot find the flowers anywhere and suspiciously a friendly wolf comes with up with the exact flowers she was looking for. Red does not trust him, but he gains speed ahead of her and reaches the grandma’s place before her. When Red comes to see the grandma, she had disappeared. Red uses her sleuth skills to uncover the mystery.
I usually like Lois Wickstrom’s imagination to introduce science to the kids through different concepts.
This twist in the fairy tale is not one of my favorites, but I can see the point the author is trying to convey to the children.

Lauren has everything a girl could ask for, her own restaurant, and married to her best friend Mitch. The two got married in Vegas and had wonderful years together after the Honeymoon, and then out of nowhere, Mitch starts acting distant, and Pier Ninety-Two is barely getting by. When tragedy strikes and a fire burns down Pier Ninety-Two, Lauren pulls up her bootstraps and gets to work in saving her restaurant and her marriage. She hopes that a trip back to Vegas will help jumpstart everything back again and that Mitch will be back by her side, once again. This second chance story was very sweet and you could see the love the two characters had for each other within the pages. It was a wonderful conclusion to the Trading Heartbeat’s trilogy, and I loved reading each page of it!

In this second book we Have Austin from book 1. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but there are somethings that I feel that would make a lot more sense if the reader read book 1 before reading this book. That being said! Austin in this book in the beginning was heartbreaking. He tried to win over the girl but in the end, Mavis chose his brother Josh. Right then you want to give this man a big hug for the big feelings that he has to sort through. Deciding that space is needed between him and Mavis, he decides to go to Chicago where he meets the lovely lady named Casey. Casey is everything that he isn’t. She is his exact opposite, and he absolutely loves it. When an opportunity comes up, that could take him back to California. He must choose to give up Baseball, or lose his girl that he loves dearly. Like the first one, the story draws you in and gives the characters life. It’s beautifully written and I was not disappointed!

This is a great read and a great series. Unexpected Entanglement is book 3 in the Echo Series, and I highly recommend reading this series as characters are tied in throughout the book, and I would have to say this while I loved all the books this would be my favorite story. I loved Chris and Rowan.
Spark, sizzle, fake relationship with banter, secrets, suspicion, drama, unexplained “accidents” and healing.

Chris Sullens, planned a vacation spot in Vinalhaven and a bit away from work as a successful hotel owner…but upon coming onto the island, he meets a fiery, Rowan Kelley. Chris’ plans also including to help out Rowan and her brother Kieran with their Inn, especially coming from experience….but this help at first comes with much questions and push-back.

Rowan wants to prove she can run her family owned Inn successfully…she is so determined. Things change unexpectedly with a loss, but it does not deter Rowan to fulfilling her family legacy and keep the Inn going. When Chris Sullens shows up to help, with at first hesitation, she ends up learning so much more. Rowan is determined more than ever to have the best wedding for her friend at the Inn…but when strange things start happening at the Inn…..will Rowan be able to have the wedding that she planned for her cousin be successful while working with Chris as they also navigate their feelings?

This is such a fantastic read, I highly recommend! This story gave me all the feels as I devoured each page and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Rowan Kelly has inherited an inn and she’s super excited to host her cousin’s wedding there. Everything has to be perfect and beautiful for the big day. Rowan can handle just about anything that is put in her way but having an extra hand or two never hurts!

Insert Chris Sullens. Chris is a well-known hotelier who is more than happy to dig in and help Rowan make this wedding the best ever. What he didn’t expect is the role that he’d be asked to play in order this wedding to go off WITH a hitch!

This is probably my favorite book of this series so far! There is an overlap of some characters from previous books (it was good to catch up on them!) but this book can be read as a standalone easily. I look forward to seeing where this series continues to go!

This story grabbed my attention right away and kept me hooked till the end. This is a speculative steampunk fantasy with mystery, history, historical fiction, secrets, high stakes, the paranormal, supernatural, action, danger, suspense drama, emotion, and so more. I found it to be quite interesting, with wonderful world-building and details and descriptions that really brought the whole story to life. This a very well-developed and extremely put together story, along with the characters that I really felt like I was right there in the story with them. The characters get into an adventure full of mystery as they scramble to try to stop a war. What ends up happening makes for a fun read, and all the adventure kept me turning the pages to see how everything would play out in the end. This book was a must read, and I was glad I was able to pick it up.

I’ll Love You Tomorrow is book three in the Trading Hearts trilogy by Julie Navickas. I have enjoyed this trilogy and this book was probably the best. Though I really loved Austin’s story! Mitch and Lauren have been together since they were in school. They have been married for 7 years and it seems as though their whole marriage is over. They do decide (with the help of their siblings) to give it one last chance. Are things really done for good? Or will they be able to rekindle their relationship. If you’ve read the first two books this is a good ending. Though there is a particular someone who no one likes that Id be interested in getting their own story just so they’d leave the Templeton family alone! But that’s for another book I hear!

Another great children’s book from Lois Wickstrom. After reading this with my six year old and asking her thoughts she gave an enthusiastic “awesome!” and explained her favorite part. While her favorite part was a silly wolf antic, mine was the subtle education the storyline had to offer. I loved Red’s resourcefulness and keen investigative skills.
Once again, I would definitely recommend adding this to your library.

The author really knocks it home with this one! Two previous storylines wrap up in this book. I really like how a former plot that was only so-so resolved, became well and truly resolved. Characters that have previously been on the bench, so to speak, get brought up to bat in this story. The author gives nods to history, with a famous detective agency, as well as bicycles, and the still-new automobiles. This book features a strong female protagonist, and loving family/chosen family bonds.

Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1)Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is a continuation from Savage Start so definitely start there. Teenager Riley and her mother are con artists. However, it seems that mom has had a change of heart. She insists that this is the real deal and that Riley can be a normal teenager. Riley isn’t sure of anything anymore. Including the attraction to Cole.
Teenager Cole is considered the high school’s elite and he’s the football star. Everyone wants to be with him or be him. Cole is typical in that he is mad at his parents and the world. However, Riley enters his world and things are a little more interesting but why all the lies? What is the truth about her and her mother?

This story is a really good teen angst story. Everything seems like the end of the world. They know it all. Noone loves them. Parties, football and hatred for the parents. This author seems to know teenagers.

I am left with questions as this story ended on a cliffhanger. So I am looking forward to reading the next story, Savage Truth.

Oh WOW!
This is my 1st read from this author and I was NOT disappointed. I instantly fell in love with the leading female character. She is strong and stubborn and everything I look for in a leading lady. Our leading man was no let down either. I was instantly drawn to their chemistry. I felt their attraction. I knew without a doubt that this story was going to leave me wanting more, and it DID. I want to live in this world. I want to befriend these characters. I need to visit the Inn and befriend that townspeople. C.R. Alam has done an AMAZING job of creating a place you WANT to be, and I am here to tell you, I WANT TO BE THERE. Thank you so much for creating a world for us to get lost in.

Unexpected Entanglement (Book 3 of the Echo Series)Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another sizzling romance story! Unexpected Entanglement is the third book in The Echo Series by C. R. Alam. Chris Sullens and Rowen Kelly are a really fun and steamy couple. Chris is a handsome and wealthy hotelier that finds himself entangled in a fake romance with sassy, beautiful Rowena that now runs the family inn. These two were so great together. I loved the witty banter and the passion between these two. Another plot that has you on the edge of your seat. Although I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series, this one was my favorite!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His Forever Muse is book two of The Echo Series by C. R. Alam. Brandon and Calliope have known each other since they were young and reconnected after many years. Calliope is trying to rebuild her life but her past keeps coming back to haunt her. I really enjoyed the story of Brandon and Calliope. I loved Brandon as Rae’s best friend from Book 1. He and Calliope are awesome together. Their chemistry is nice and steamy. They are really enjoyable together. Once again the characters are relatable and well-written. The plot is well-paced and keeps you hooked. Another great book.

Unexpected Entanglement
By: C. R. Alam

This is the third book in the Echo Series. This brings what readers of C.R. Alam have learned to love. A great plot, characters that feel like they could be someone that you know and some love.
Chris is such an amazing character. I love that he is a famous entrepreneur but he is able to come into a small town and really fit in and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Rowan has come into an inn and she is pouring her heart and soul into fixing it up. She is facing a serious deadline, the inn needs to be up and running before her cousin’s wedding.
Chris is a famous hotelier. His hotels are located all over the world. But being in this small town he knows how to get things not only done but done well.
What happens when Chris and Rowan’s paths meet? What begins as a fake entanglement may just become something more.
I definitely recommend reading this book and the others in the echo series. Each book is a stand alone but I wouldn’t miss a single one as they are all excellent.

Echoing Hearts (Book 1 of The Echo Series)Echoing Hearts by C.R. Alam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Echoing Hearts is the first book in The Echo Series by C. R. Alam. Rae Allen is a woman that has vowed to never fall in love after watching her mother deteriorate after having her heart broken. Dean Rowland has sworn off women after being left at the altar by his fiancee. When the two inevitably meet, sparks fly. This was a very well-written story. The characters are real and relatable. The chemistry between Rae and Dean is amazing. I really enjoyed watching them build and navigate their relationship. I highly recommend this book.

How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor #2)How to Make a Flying Carpet by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars
Who doesn’t love flying carpet stories especially one where you can learn how to make one?
This interesting story is aimed at 4- 8 years. They will get lost in the bright and colourful illustrations whilst getting involved in the story. Lois gifts her readers with stories that engages small minds. Stories that makes then believe and teaches them that anything is possible.
Alex loves to invent things and tinker with old things and in this story he puts his mind to making a flying carpet. Imagine exploring the world of wonders and make believe and learning new things along the way.
My grandbabies wanted to have a flying carpet of their own.
