Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series is fantastic and this is another great book to add to the collection. I always find it so easy to reconnect with these characters and pick back up with their story. I like that they are keeping my interest even though we are eight books into the series.
This particular story is fast paced with a lot going on. Juggling three cases at once would be challenging for most and yet the story, characters and author handled it with ease. I didn’t get confused by any of them and could follow along which each case. I looked forward to the resolution of them all. I have enjoyed this latest addition and will be looking forward to more.

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

Breach of Trust is the eighth book in The Madeline Dawkins series. This can be read as a standalone and enjoyed. I recommend reading the earlier books first to enjoy them fully. Madeline and Mike are back at it with a busy workload. Hit with three cases at the same time, and they tackle all of them. I know this can sound like a lot to handle in one book, but the author takes the storytelling well without leading to a confusing or bogged-down read. I always enjoy the dialogue between Madeline and Mike. One of the cases involves a horrible ex-husband that Madeline relates to all too well. Also, one of the cases involves a senior retirement village with a poison pen writer.
Even though we have the same primary characters in each book, they are still developing and have yet to get stale. Madeline has come a long way since the first book. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Book 2) by A.L. Morrow – Review by Kerry Carr

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Star- Crossed Celestials Duet series. I would really recommend reading these books in order so you follow the story of our characters and understand how they are in the position they start this story from. This is a paranormal MM romance. It is also a twist on Romeo and Juliet. This is a story of forbidden love and all the pain and hurt that goes along with it when you can’t be with the person you really love because of circumstances out of your control. Jace and Cyrus finally found each other and found their soul mates, however that wasn’t meant to be. With Jace being removed by law and Cyrus choosing to stay to carry on protecting the world by keeping demons under control the lovers are forced apart.
Jace is a Watcher who’s job is the look after the humans and keep the demons under control. Cyrus is a Messenger and his role is to keep the Watchers under control. Because of their differences they shouldn’t be together. Its not right or the way things should be. When Jace is involved in trouble he is banished from Las Vegas leaving his home,family and love behind.
Neither Cyrus or Jace are coping well being apart and Cyrus is trying desperately hard to find him to reunite with him. But with a war that keeps breaking out, being monitored by his fellow Messengers and an ex lover who will stop at nothing to get Cyrus back it’s going to be one long fight for him to find the man he truly loves.

This story is emotional, you can really feel the heartbreak and torment that both Jace and Cyrus go through being apart and also their determination to find a way to get back to one another.
The author really brings this story to life and invites the reader into a world that is fast paced, engaging and makes you feel like you are beside Jace and Cyrus every step of the way.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We enjoyed this book. It’s a scientific twist in Little Red Riding Hood. Plus, it fit in nicely with our forensic science course. Instead of plants, we’re doing animal tracks, but this has got them interested in plants now as well. A little gross where the wolf vomit is concerned but still an enjoyable read.

Rogue (The Talisman Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Mary Espinoza

Rogue (The Talisman Series)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rogue is the sixth book in The Talisman series by Tam DeRudder Jackson and is my first time to read a book from this author. This is a paranormal romance with quite a bit of steamy romance, deceit, magic action, mythology and so much more!
Baz (the main character) finds out about a huge lie that has been hidden from him and now he’s not too sure about his life choices and about the path that his life is on. As a rogue warrior, he has definitely had his fair shares of going to hell and back and now finds himself wrapped up in the middle of a supernatural battle. He also discovers that there are some high stakes and things are not looking good at all. Delany (other main character) is a talisman-warrior who happens to also be a hybrid, has found herself doing nothing but protecting her warrior community for as long as she can remember. She has now found herself in a unique predicament, not only has she been kidnapped, but she also has to fight her fatal attraction to the ‘enemy’. Will sparks fly or will she be able to accomplish her task at hand and be able to defeat her enemy?
This book actually happens to be the sixth book in a series, I read it as a stand-alone book, but I really suggest reading the rest of the books that come before this one. There were times when I found myself very lost and confused. Now I will say that the book was entertaining, I just felt like there were times when things weren’t described or refreshed from the previous books. But nonetheless, great job to Tam!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As we all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood. That may be true. Little Red is off to grannies house. No talking to strangers and “Please pick me some flowers for my tea.” This author did so much more with the story. She made it more about plant discovery and their uses. Which once again gets the children out of the house. There are all kinds of flowers within our neighborhoods. With Spring here new plants and flowers are blooming. What a great time to pick up this book and enjoy the adventure that this author has planned out for her readers. I must say this author has impressed me every time she plans out her stories. My grands have loved each of this author’s story. The projects that follow are amazingly fun as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat; I finished it in 2 days. The author did a great job of leaving each chapter off on a cliffhanger. This definitely keeps the interest of readers & them wanting more. The book is well written, with a lot of detail, making you feel like you were in the story yourself. I would absolutely recommend this book for those who are into Romance.

Doctor Frank Enstein isn’t like your regualar stereo type of a plastic surgeon. Not only is he the best at what he does but he does it for reasons outside of the norm. When I chose to read this book I was expecting something totally different even after reading the blurb. I was very happy about the story line and how it kept me turning the pages. This is a story you won’t want to skip on.

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the start. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series as well. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her ability to pull me into her stories. She uses details to make the story feel realistic. This book is no different. Madeline is back for another suspenseful mystery in this book. I enjoy her character and what she brings to the story. She is my favorite for sure. I found this book to be well written and engaging. This is a story that is hard to put down that has twists and turns that you won’t see coming. There is great growth with the characters as well as the plot throughout the story. Find out what investigation Madeline has gotten herself into this time. I enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

4 stars
Little Red is Lois’s retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. It is another fun tale in the Science Folktales series. Children will not only to enjoy reading about Red adventures but will actually learn as they go.
Red sets off to visit Granny and encounters a wolf along the way where the two find plants and flowers and a little bit of scientific learning along the way. Red must use her detective skills to thwart the wolf and make sure Granny is safe.
There is a little science, a little mystery and a twist or two that children 4 – 8 years old will be delighted with this story. The colourful pictures are bright and will pull little eyes and minds in to the story.

A missing person case, anonymous letters, and a divorce case that will give you chills…these are the fun things that Mike and Maddie get to look into in this installment of the Madeline Dawkins series. I found the story quite exciting and action packed. It’s fairly fast-paced and full of drama. The characters are all pretty relatable. I will be waiting to see what happens with a certain beloved senior citizen. For having three storylines basically going at the same time, I enjoyed how well they were all tied in together. It felt smooth and flawless. This is my third foray into this series. I will have to go back and start from book 1.

Breach of Trust is the eighth book in the thrilling Madeline Dawkins series. I love that Cynthia cleverly weaves several plots into a story keeping the readers and characters on their toes. I also love that Cynthia puts something in the story that makes me laugh even in the midst of hell. I cannot stress enough that these books should be read in order to ensure you get the background of the characters.
Breach of Trust is a page turner that will have you invested in what is going on and will have you on the edge of your seat.
Monte Verde is suddenly not the safe and compassionate assisted living complex for the elderly as meets the eye as Madeline Dawkins and the MDPI team find out.
With poison pen letters, dark secrets, blackmail and a lot of resentment can Madeline solve the mystery before things have deadly consequences?
Not only that but helping a woman with her ugly divorce with a nasty estranged husband brings the past out of hiding for Madeline.
As always, I look forward to more.

Oh my goodness, I loved this story with it’s teaching about the conehead flowers. I did think the wolf vomiting was a touch ick, but if you drink the right mix of tea, it will cause vomiting. In this case, it rescued grandma. Looking at fingerprints to find out that the wolf was grandma was an exciting addition. We actually went down the rabbit hole with this one and did our own finger prints. It made for a fun discussion about them. So much to learn. This was a fun story that taught about the flowers, and tea. It also taught about rescuing grandma and taking care of her. All wonderful lessons and values to learn. Another wonderful story for storytime.

Three new cases come to the MDPI team on the same morning…

When PI Madeline Dawkins is summoned to Monte Verde―the serene assisted living complex where her father resides―she’s concerned Mack’s ideal setup is about to come to an end. Instead, the facility director enlists MDPI’s help in resolving a very troubling situation.

Someone is sending poison pen letters to the residents at Monte Verde, hinting at dark secrets from their pasts—accusations that have already driven one elderly woman to take her own life.

Back at the office, Jack Waverly, the attorney next door, has a client going through a very nasty divorce. Janelle Marsby’s estranged husband has launched a particularly ugly intimidation offensive designed to wear her down. The tactics Roy’s using to coerce Janelle into giving up her share of their community property assets are ruthless and criminal. Their mission is to keep Janelle safe while they dig up all of Roy’s shady dealings.

Glen Langford enlists Mike’s help in finding his 18 year old daughter who ran off with a cult five months earlier. His own searches led him through five states before his last tip led him to Santa Barbara. His biggest break came from a rancher who took Alison in after he ran the cult off his land, only to learn that she had been physically, sexually and psychologically abused by the leader of the cult.

It’s all hands on deck as the MDPI team tackle all three urgent cases, racing against time.

Lois Wickstrom lives in a world where imaginary playmates are real. She doesn’t remember being born, so she finds unbirthdays are more exciting than the official once-a-year date on the calendar. She’s taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales.

She writes by herself. She writes with co-authors. She asks illustrators what they would like to draw. If she ever writes her autobiography, the title will be My Life as a Group Project.

Her mother used to get angry with her for daydreaming. Her little sister picked on her. So she lived in books and wrote her own stories in which the bad-guys made sense, and the good-guys had a chance. As she has grown older, her imagination has grown weirder. Even she doesn’t know what she will write next.

Lois is a former science teacher. She has written a series of science-based folktales, and turned some of them into plays. In each modernized tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending because of learning scientific principles. Lois likes to garden, ride her bike with her husband, cook, and she votes in every election.

I really enjoyed this friends to lovers novel, and cannot wait to read more in the series! Abby and Nate are fun and hot and steamy together. I also feel they are a tad volatile only because even though they know each other so well, they still fail miserably to communicate; especially about the important things.

Abby and Nate have been best friends since childhood, never crossing a line, until Abby passes her 40th birthday and admits that she wants a baby. Nate is quick to offer to give her a baby if they do things the old fashioned way, it is supposed to be just one time, but will that be enough for this pair?

Messenger is the second book in the Star-Crossed Celestials Duet by A.L Morrow. It definitely gives ‘Romeo & Juliet’ vibes, with a bit of a twist in the form of a celestial spin. This is a MM paranormal romance- an urban fantasy with angst, action, drama, celestials, demons, tension, chemistry, star-crossed lovers, fate, emotion, and sizzle.
This genre is definitely A.L. Morrow’s wheelhouse, and she’s delivered another stellar read. She always manages to surprise me, in a great way. So, if you love MM fantasy with angst, and some sexy twists- then you are definitely going to want to read this story/duology for yourself.
Happy Reading!

Undying Light is the first book in The Stella Maris Series by Aurora Wildey. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Wildey, so I really wasn’t sure what I could expect from one of her books. But I was quite intrigued by the synopsis, and I love a great urban fantasy- so I took the chance and grabbed a copy to explore.
This is an intriguing urban fantasy with paranormal elements, magic, action, adventure, secrets, agendas, danger, dramatic developments, tension, and more. The story is told from multiple POV’s, which gave the story extra interest and depth.
When Kaela is attacked, a stranger with enhanced abilities comes to her rescue, saving her, but is gravely injured in the process. Kaela takes a risk, exposing her own powers of light in order to save him. And so, the adventure begins. Add in a protective immortal, more danger, agendas, trust issues, angst, and plenty of secrets- and this story takes an intriguing turn.
What does Book # have in store for us?
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Aurora Wildey!

Have you ever just wanted to reach through the page and shake some sense into a character? Well, I did. I wanted to shake some sense into both Abby and Nate. Once their relationship became more, they both should have realized that they had more than just friend-feelings for each other. I have to admit that I was completely concerned when Colin came back into town. But when Nate just took off and moved to Ocean City! OMG!!!!! Completely frustrated. This fun romp through friendship and a pregnancy is worth every minute you spend yelling at Nate just to tell Abby how he feels. The comedy, the realness of the characters, the supporting cast, the sisterhood, and so much more make this book worth every star and explicative yelled at a character! Looking forward to reading about Jane. Can’t wait for Jake to find his love.

I absolutely adored this book, Abby and Nate. They had the knowledge only best friends would have. While with some it might have been weird, it worked for them.

I personally couldn’t imagine starting a family in my 40’s but know plenty of women including several in my family that have had a later in life baby.

There were so many moments that made me laugh, a few that made me cry and a few that made me pump my fist in celebration.

This book was a best friends to lovers romance about a woman named Abby who just turned 40 and is desperate to start a family. He best friend Nate seems like the perfect place to looking for help, It could be a one time thing/hookup and if it doesn’t work then she could move on to more expensive, less convenient options. But Nate has feelings for Abby and of course she has no clue. Secrets, miscommunication and other things made this story all the more complicated and exciting to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by the talented Aurora Wildey, and I wasn’t sure what to expect other than an original story plot. Original, seems too simple of a word but Undying Light is a unique plot that follows the perspectives of three different individuals.
Terran is the only son of an old money family in his hometown with a secret “affliction” that only affects the males of his father’s family. Kaela is an extremely intelligent young woman that is 18 and about to finish college as a registered nurse. Seth is one of only six of his kind still in existence. Terran is determined to bring justice to those who escape true justice. Kaela is set on healing those that can’t afford it. Seth is determined to find his belongings that have been stolen again. In a flurry everything comes together, Terran and Kaela find each other in a lifesaving moment that triggered more events to unfold. Seth discovers the first new undying in more years than he can remember.
What will happen to Kaela? Can they achieve their goals in one piece? What exactly is Kaela and what makes her existence so important? The world the author creates is truly otherworldly while still being routed in reality. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

An alternate universe where the Romanov girls survived? Sign me up. The author definitely did her due diligence in researching this topic and incorporated fact flawlessly with the fiction.

Olga is doing anything she can to keep the family together while they investigate the rumors that their mother is still alive. This was a very well written book that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
