England is part of The Hidden Gem series. The world building and characters was well thought of. The detailing was good. My only complaint is I felt at times the story got repetitive. I still recommend the book and I enjoyed it.

Holly has made a home in Emerald Hollow and all is going well. A man shows up during a snowstorm and has no memory of his life before this.

This book gave me a severe case of wanderlust! Although Scotland and Ireland are top on my travel bucket list, England is close behind them. I was drawn in by the gorgeous cover only to find even more stunning pictures inside! The author has such a way of putting this together that it feels like you’re transported to the country itself. I absolutely loved the chapter on superstitions and beliefs as I love to learn about all cultures. There is also a lovely chapter on planning your trip to England and all of the questions you may not think about! They review how Bed & Breakfasts are delightful to stay at and not at all priced like the United States. There are also great tips on budgeting and how to find good deals. Whether you are looking to plan your trip to England or just learn more about the country, this is a great book to pick up!

Scotland is one place at the top of my bucket list, so when I saw this book, I knew I had to pick it up. I was completely immersed once I opened the first page! The photographs are absolutely gorgeous and make me want to visit even more now. I truly enjoyed the author sharing less touristy spots because those are some of the best gems anywhere in the world you go. The chapter on superstitions and beliefs was incredibly interesting, and I hadn’t heard of many of them. There is also a great chapter that will assist in planning your trip to wonderful Scotland. If you travel often then some of these tips are probably already in your repertoire, but for someone like me who doesn’t have the opportunity to journey often, that chapter is SO appreciated! I highly recommend picking this up if you’re planning travel, or if you just want to know more about Scotland!

Kris & The Pirates (The Adventures of Kris) by Art Blegen. This is such a good kids read. Its the story of Kris who is not looking forward to going to a costume party with her dad. Trying not to think about it she decide to read her book. Her book is a lot more fun than some costume party, its full of pirates, secret treasures and fun animals that talk. While she is reading her book the story also talks about not wasting time and spending time with family along with learning about boats and the names of certain spots on the boat. This book is for older kids maybe around 11-14 and is so fun and full of adventure. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a standalone! Great book for the pre teen, early teen in your life!

I was so excited to return to Emerald Hollow and unravel another character! Holly is a full-time resident now, and there is no shortage of magic involved! But in this story, we get to know Sofia and follow her on her journey. Sofia is sweet, but has her guard up, having been hurt in the past. She does not let men in easy. However, when she found Isaiah in need, she was the woman for the job. There were sparks between her and the new stranger, but she was hesitant to act on her feelings, thinking it wouldn’t last. Isaiah is a mystery for many reasons. I loved trying to guess what would happen with him next and his story did not disappoint. This was another page-turning, fun and entertaining story! My favorite part was the loose ends at the end, meaning there should be more to come from Emerald Hollow!
This is an interesting and informative guide to ‘Hidden Scotland’ which I found to be an enjoyable read. I enjoyed discovering about a country bursting with history and beauty, the ‘land of whisky and tartans’. The author is an obvious seasoned traveler who not only knows about Scotland’s legendary landscapes but is also knowledgeable about the many stories and myths surrounding it. I particularly enjoyed the information on Scotland’s geographic phenomena and the many historical sites to visit. This was a fascinating guide with a difference, and it definitely gave me greater knowledge about both the hidden places, and the more well known ones. The guide also includes practical information including budgeting advice and detailed plans of places to visit, and how to explore whilst avoiding the crowds. The narrative is written in a knowledgeable, friendly, conversational style which is easy to read, understand and navigate. I would have liked a few more maps to have been included as I feel these would have been helpful when planning itinerary’s. This really is an invaluable resource for anyone visiting Scotland and those just interested in learning more about this magical place.

This is an interesting and informative guide to ‘Hidden England’ which I read from cover to cover. As I live in England I as was pleased to see some of my favourite places mentioned in the book, but I also liked discovering new ones which really are off the ‘well-trodden’ paths. The author obviously knows England well and has done her research as this comes across in the quality of the information included. I love how the author has included English history, local myths, superstitions, as well as information on everything from Gods and Saints to what the best food and drinks to try are. The ‘Plans and Mechanics’ chapter is particularly useful for those travelling to/around England as its full of practicalities including tips and budgeting advice. I particularly found the write ups on geographical marvels and historical sites fascinating and it definitely gave me greater knowledge on places that were both known and not known to me. The narrative is written in a knowledgeable but lighthearted, friendly and easy to read style, and I found the resource section at the end very helpful. I would have found an index at the end helpful in order to refer back to specific places more easily, and although I enjoyed the pictures that were included I felt that more photos would have added to the over all look of the book. Overall this is a guide with a difference and it really does let you discover the hidden gems of the English realm.

Stars in the City is the first book of the series, by the same name. The book is definitely geared toward a teen audience. It is full of teen drama- jealousy, self doubt, back stabbing, social media trolling, etc. While it did contain immature characters, it was nice to see them evolve over the course of the book. Valeria is an actress, on a soap opera. She has some friends on the show, as well as frenemies. I really loved her relationship with Gloria, who is a bit of a role model for her. She is struggling with self doubt on the show, while having to navigate working alongside a co-star ex boyfriend. She is reconnecting with her high school boyfriend, who is a bit of a celebrity himself. He is a college basketball up and coming. They have a lot of unresolved feelings, and must learn to communicate effectively and trust each other, if they want to have another go at their relationship. The ending was a little abrupt, but the author stated their story will continue in book 2. This book wasn’t one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it, and would read the 2nd book to see how it all wraps up. I think teen girl readers would love the book.

This was my first book by this author, and I am blown away! The author grabs your attention from the very beginning with some steam and a woman who knows what she wants. I loved Emma the entire way through and her chemistry with Liam leaps off the pages. There are plenty of spicy scenes, but the author in no way relies on it to carry the storyline. I appreciate the flow of the story as everything progresses naturally, and the characters feel incredibly well-developed. Emma feels relatable as I feel like we’ve all been burned by an ex-partner who made us build walls and draw bridges to keep others out. Her ex-boyfriend, Stuart, had made some awful decisions and without revealing any spoilers, I definitely yelled out loud at him when some of the twists and turns happened! The author had me ALL the way invested in Liam and Emma and put sleep behind me as I stayed up to read the entire book in one day. I highly recommend picking this up if you’re looking for a steamy romance with a bit of unpredictability! I can’t wait to pick up more books by this author.

Finders Keepers, Cowboy is a very sweet country romance and the first book in the Match Made in Montana series by Rachelle Paige Campbell. The story follows antique shop owner Meg as she helps her neighbour Hank sort out his overcrowded storage shed, much to the dismay of Hank’s grandson, Ryan. Ryan is hoping to turn the family ranch around and turn it, and subsequently the tiny town of Herd, into a bustling resort. Ryan is conflicted about his feelings towards Meg and the feeling is mutual. However, Hank has his own ideas on the situation. I liked this book, it was a lovely story of two adults with a shared connection. I liked how the story hinted to what was going to happen in the next books in the series. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

Touched is the first book in the Elemental Passions series, this book took me a little bit of time to get into but after the first couple of chapters I couldn’t put it down. The story follows Aeris, who is an air fae with a thirst for knowledge, when she accidentally bumps into police detective Callum while exploring the city of New Orleans, which is a shock to Aeris as she should be invisible to humans. However, there is more to Callum than either of them know. The pair are not aware that the instant spark between them start a prophecy that has implications for both the human and fae worlds. This book had a good mix of mystery, action and romance. Would recommend for fans of paranormal romance.

A fun, well-illustrated, entertaining children’s book to help kids understand what it takes before getting a dog and everything in between. The information contained within is vital, easy to read, flows well, and is written in a rhyming pattern which I think makes the information stick in your mind better. There is also a little parent’s guide on one of the last few pages that breaks down everything kiddos can learn inside this story. I’ve enjoyed all of the Porter and Midge stories thus far and I look forward to reading any others.

This was a really enjoyable romance with plenty of chemistry, drama with an ex and a undeniable connection between our main characters. I was hooked from the beginning. We meet Liam and Emma. Emma has had problems in the past with men so the way she overcomes that is only having one night stands. Never wanting or expecting more. Until she meets Liam. Liam is the same not wanting more from a woman but there is something about Emma that keeps him coming back. As they navigate through the change from one night stands to friends with benefits could there be a possibility for this to become something more meaningful? And when Liam gives Emma an offer she can’t refuse will this bring them closer or push them apart? Add to this drama caused by Emma’s ex and this is a story that will keep you turning pages. Can friends with benefits progress to something more? Or are they both destined to end up heartbroken all over again?

Detective Dylan and The Hunt for Home Plate was a super adorable children’s chapter book. It’s the second book in The Young Sleuths children’s book series. It would be perfect for children who know how to read but are beginners at reading chapter books. There are only ten short chapters. Dylan, his sister Emily, and their pup Theodore arrive at the baseball field to find that home plate and the rest of the bases are missing. They luckily have Dylan’s detective kit to help solve the mystery. I think children would find themselves caught up and immersed in the book with MJ Murray’s engaging writing until reaching the satisfying ending.

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. After her ex-boyfriend’s behaviour leaves her not wanting another relationship, and being untrusting of men Emma sticks to one-night stands. Then she has a passionate night with the confident, handsome Liam with his seductive smile, and soon it’s another night followed by another night of him satisfying her needs, and before she knows it they are friends with benefits. As Liam manages to break through Emma’s walls she starts to fall hard and even starts dreaming of a HEA. However, Liam has his own commitment issues and does not want a relationship. That doesn’t stop Emma saying yes when Liam makes her an offer she can’t refuse, but then when her ex turns up unexpectedly she feels her life is spiralling out of control. Neither Emma or Liam planned on falling in love but now they are worried they are going to end up with a broken heart, if they are not honest with one another. I love Emma and Liam as they are both likeable and relatable characters who’s chemistry sizzles off the page. I like how their relationship develops throughout the book. I was hooked by the storyline and I felt invested in the main characters, whilst the romance and steamy scenes kept me reading late into the night.

This book was ok for me. There was a lot going on and I felt a lot was introduced. I understand that in the first installment of a series there is a set up but I felt that some of it got lost in the plot. I enjoyed the characters and hope that the next book has a smoother flow for me. There were some interesting perspectives and ideas.

That was actually really interesting! I’ve never read a book like this, but I’ve always wanted to travel. It was fun to read a book that contained some of England’s history, most traveled spots, and places people don’t travel there that are beautiful and must-see. The author tied it in with stories, and it made the book more than just a travel guide.

This book was an interesting story on falling in love. Chloe is the main character and it follows her from college into working adulthood and all the romances that she has in between. The story is told in different parts through Chloe’s point of view as she dates and falls in love. Each man and relationship is different but each one leads her to where she is in life and her career. Some of the stories overlap and then you may rewind and have to reread a part in a different way. Chloe is relatable and inspiring and so are each of the men that she dates. This story is completely her journey, she knows what she wants in life, and she gets to make all the decisions hoping to get her happy ending.
I really wanted to like this one but it just is too much of a struggle. It starts out great as we meet the characters and find out the situation but as the story moves along it got so slow. There is way too much “thinking in their head” and it became confusing at times and interrupted conversations between the two MC. The conversations are very stilted and a lot of times I am not sure what the purpose is and where it is going. Even at the end I just did not understand what Ryan’s issue was with not speaking to Meg. I did not really *feel* the connection between the two even though I assumed they would end up together.

Good fairies, bad fairies, they must all be written about, especially if you want to stay in each of their good books! This story encapsulates the thought process of a child and speaks in that child’s voice! I won’t give away the ending but let’s just say there’s a twist!!! A great title to read with the youngsters in your life!

I love to undercover boss concept and it did not disappoint! Cy is sweet and his character growth from perceived villain to someone we can all fall in love with is great! As the undercover boss he gets to see where the employee are coming from and I’m sure his infatuation and frequent visits with Jolie helped.
This book was full of tension between the characters and the spice is well worth the build up! Now I’m off to read the next book in the Spicetopia series!

G Pa Rhymes did it again! Another fabulous book about Cray and his friends. My kids (6 & 8) really enjoyed this one. My favorite part is the last page, the discussion page where it gives us the opportunity to talk about why turtles migrate as well as list some ways to be kind. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book! I’ve read books from this author prior to this book and I’m going to say this one is my favorite. Why you might ask? Because the way the author wrote Before You Say I Do gave me the feels. And when books can give me the feels and make me feel like I’m part of the story it says a lot. Now the characters aren’t easy to love because they are stubborn, independent, nonbelievers in love. Yet at the same time jealous, attentive, possessive and protective. Which leaves the reader in a conundrum. But trust me when I say it all works. I feel like I was friends with the lead female character. Emma and Liam are people who don’t want relationships or commitments. However they crave each other physically. This story revolves around the ups and downs that their “friends with benefits” status takes them. Liam wants his trust fund, but he can’t access it until he’s 35 or married whichever comes first. Being he’s started this friendship with Emma he feels she’s the perfect candidate to help him in his task. Two big problems: 1 will his family believe them? 2 They are both falling for the other and are too stubborn to admit it. Sacrificing their potential happiness together by sticking to the script. Of course we know nothing is cut in dry and these stories and the exes don’t make it easy either. Will they stick to the script? How will the exes interference impact what they have? Again it’s a story I loved, that had a lot to offer for fans of this genre. It’s worth it! Happy Reading!

This touching children’s book is a great read. It’s a great book for beginner readers. The journey in this book follows three young children Loris, Cam, and Inaya as they train for a race to raise money for a fellow student.

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England, by Christy Nicholas, is a very interesting travel guide of England packed full of a vast amount of topics for anyone wanting to learn more and explore the land and culture. Not only does this book cover places to see, but also lots of bits of history, legends, people and more! If you have a desire to learn more about this fascinating land, or plan to take a visit, you may find this book helpful for ideas on places to see. I’ve always wanted to visit England, and this book only made me want to go even more. This book is a quick, easy read but l felt there was a lot to learn from it.

This book really amazed me. I chose this book because we recently got our daughter a cat. This book was about pet ownership, so I thought she could learn from it. My daughter loved the book especially the pictures. The pictures was colorful. If you are wanting your children to learn about pet responsibilities, I highly recommend this book!

This is the second book to this series. It is a chapter book to get young reader engaged. The author grabs your attention from the beginning to the end. The characters and world building was great. I know this is a kids chapter book, but I really enjoyed it myself.

This really gave my “PS I Love You” vibes. Laura lost her husband and part of herself. She threw herself into caring for her daughter and grandkids and stopped doing things for herself. But when she joins a book club, all the other ladies convince her to take a chance and she winds up going on a trip to London. She ends up meeting Hugh and quickly falls for him. There are some unexpected speed bumps in the story that they have to work out, to decide if they want to be together. It was a cozy and short read that serves as a reminder that you can still find love again, no matter what age. And that sometimes when you take a chance you can really find yourself and your happiness again
