Sylvia has done another fantastic job on this series. In this book we meet Master Oradea and Natalia. While it is a stand-alone, it does follow the storyline of the rest of the Masters of the Consulate series, so I do suggest reading the previous stories to get a general idea of the storyline and what’s going on. The chemistry between Oradea and Natalia was burning off the page. Natalia’s fiery personality clashes with Oradea’s dominant. Secrets are being stolen and revealed, and lines are being drawn. Who comes out on top and who doesn’t come out unscathed? I loved reading this book, and the characters were wonderfully well done!

I love the illustrations and the rhyming, I am just not sure about the content. Kids all think poop is funny but to me it’s not. Love that the main character is mixed race, love that there is a bully but the other kids stand up to the bully and include Stega anyway. Very colorful and I am sure kids will love it.
I was a little hesitant about this at first with the amount of Authors listed, but I was proven wrong. This is the first book that I have read in this series or by any of these Authors. You honestly cannot tell where one Author ends and another begins. This story had me hooked from the first chapter. I read this super fast because I couldn’t wait to figure out all of the details that continued to make this story grow. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a quick, romantic, fantasy novel. I could not put it down!!

Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Jade Brunton
The prequel to the Echo Series, this book is about Gene and Amanda and how they connect. This book will give you that small town Romance vibe with some Suspense thrown in to keep you on your toes. I could NOT put this book down and truly think it is probably the best book of the series. But I did love them all!

Alam – Review by Kelli Harper
Amese of Animalis by MJ Murray is the first book in The Borosa Legacy Series. This book is written with readers 10-14 in mind, but can be read by anyone who enjoys a good story with lots of magic and adventure. We are following 13-year-old Amese. She is training to rule, and trying to convince others she is worthy of the task. It seems like not everyone wants her to succeed in this quest. The story is fun and magical. She has to turn into animals for her training which is really cool. The story ends on a cliff hanger and I am looking forward to the next book 4 out of 5 stars.

In this prequel to the Echo series by C. R. Alam we find out how Gene and Amanda find each other. Gene is burned out in his position as an ER doctor. He takes a sabbatical from the hospital. He spends his first 3 months in Costa Rica and then returns home to work at a local clinic. Amanda is the town’s beloved baker. She is in an accident and Gene helps her out at the scene. They both feel an immediate connection. I loved reading about their journey to love. I always enjoy reading prequels that tell the story of the connected characters in book series and this one does not disappoint. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Alam – Review by Alicia Furlan
Even being the second book in the series, this book worked just fine as a standalone. There were a few mentionings of things that had happened in the previous book but not to the point where you are confused. More intrigued than anything. The author does a great time taking you back to a time before cell phones, before television, before cameras and DNA. When the coroner does a lot of the detective work and the pharmacist helps verify things. Finger printing is new, and the comment about how fast vehicles were going made me giggle. There’s enough romance to notice that some sparks are flying, but not enough to distract you from the mystery of it all. I truly enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it. I’ll be going back and reading the 1st book as I eagerly await more in this series.

Foster – Review by Jessie Hopkins
This is the first book I have read by this author and I cannot wait to read more, I absolutely could not put this book down! The characters are so well developed and have such complex relationships. This book had everything I needed, from romance to heartbreak, internal and external struggles, self-discovery, etc. Barbara is a very successful black lawyer who deals with multiple problems throughout the story, like the death of her mother, a cheating fiance, a man she cannot have, the loss of her job, and the struggle of race in the workplace. We get to see her slowly find herself and fall in love with a man that is the complete opposite of her, he is white, he is from a lower socio-economic background, and he stole her job! Yet these opposites attract in this awesome storyline.

This was a cute romance between Gene (a doctor) and Amanda (a bakery owner). At the start of the story, Amanda hits a tree with her car to avoid a girl on the road. She passes out and is saved by Gene who is passing by. Amanda becomes more worried about the “lost girl” than herself and is refusing medical attention. Gene talks her into allowing him to stay with her to make sure she doesn’t have a concussion, etc. Amanda recognizes Gene even though he just came back to their hometown, she grew up with a crush on him and just the feeling he was important. Their story is about how their relationship grows and develops trusting aspects as they try to search for this “missing girl”. While both are gaining feelings, they are at different aspects of their lives – Amanda is ready to settle down and Gene doesn’t even know where he will be in a couple of months. Both of them work together to solve a mystery about a missing girl and about feelings that begin to blossom. I have read all the other books in the series and it was good to learn about Gene and Amanda’s story. I loved both characters. They had great independent characteristics but also had a great connection as a couple. The book was fast-moving and kept my interest the whole time. So if you are looking for a little mystery with a happy ending this is a great choice.

I am blown away with this amazing book! It is filled to the brim with suspense and mystery. I love ballet so seeing it woven into this incredibly book was wonderful. Our main character, Elena, is in for some very interesting secrets as she accepts the invitation of a lifetime. I thoroughly enjoy thrillers that are heavy with suspense, and this author knocked it out of the park. It was like a rollercoaster of twists and turns that I never saw coming! You’ll have to read to see for yourself what surprises are in store for Elena. If you enjoy mysteries that keep you guessing, this one is your next read!

If you are looking for a feel-good book that is full of romance, enchantment, and magic, then grab this book!
Finding Cheer by Heather Schneider is the second book in the Magical Emerald Hollow series. It follows Sofia Reyes as she helps an attractive and mysterious man who does not remember his own identity. Will she allow herself to open up and fall for him?
I loved being back in Emerald Hollow and catching up with some characters I loved in the first book.This story is both magical and enchanting and keeps you smiling all the way through.
This novel is a must-read if you are ready to start spring with some romance. The characters are just as lovable as in the first book, and the story pulls you in from start to finish.
Get your spring colors ready, smell some flowers, and dive into this lovely book that will get you springtime ready.
I enjoyed this book and it was very nice to read the continuing story about the master vampires and their loves. This book is about Oradea and Natalia and how they find each other in the midst of the battle that is going on. I enjoyed being able to follow their journey and how even through the twists and turns of the battle they were in, they came together. This is an excellent series and I recommend it to others that enjoy paranormal romance.

The cover of this book grabbed me immediately, and after reading the synopsis, I knew I had to dive into it! This is the first book in the Elemental Passions series, and what an astonishing beginning indeed. It took me a chapter or so to find my groove, but once I did there was no stopping. I finished the entire book in a day (sorry, responsibilities!) I love a good romance novel as well as anything even remotely related to Fae, so this was right up my alley. The chemistry between Aeris and Callum is marvelous! Aeris is Fae and Callum is a detective. A union between them is absolutely forbidden, but will that be enough reason for them not to pursue this? I won’t give anything away, but this book is worth your time. I am waiting on pins and needles for the next installment of this series!

I didn’t realize I was picking up a series when I read this book, but I felt like it did pretty good as a standalone. It was absolutely gripping though, so I have run to pick up the previous 3 books now! This was a perfect blend of sci-fi and romance which are two of my favorite genres. We waste no time getting right into the middle of drama, action, and all the secrets. Drag and Bridget have quite the history that I’m sure I’ll get more background on in the other books. What’s apparent from the get-go is their intense chemistry together! The development of each character is just perfection, and the flow of the story is enjoyable and natural. I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a fast-paced sci-fi read. I’m on my way to pick up all of these books right now!

Drag me Down is the fourth book in the Full Throttle Cyborgs Series but it’s the first book in the series that I have read. This was a totally unfamiliar world for me, but I found that I really enjoyed this book. I did not feel like there was anything that I would have missed, and I did not feel lost while reading Drag and Bridget’s story, so I can say this would be ok read as a standalone. Drag and Bridget were together once before, but they split when she betrayed him, so when she comes to him for help it brings up lots of still existing feelings that he doesn’t want to experience. It’s a great redemption, second chance at love, super interesting universe, and a well told story.

Marshmallow Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom is a fun and imaginative story with colorful illustrations that bring the story to life. This is one of my favorites from this author and I know my great nieces and great nephew enjoy this story as well….full of fun.
Mr. Bonbon, the local candy maker, is trying to prevent Annabelle from stealing any more candy from his factory tours…and comes up with a plan. Mr. Bonbon is trying to teach Annabelle from lesson of not to steal and take things. His plan comes to light….but does it work….or will Annabelle continue her ways…
This is a very fun read….for the young and the young at heart.
I was so excited to read this book since I enjoyed the first one so much! Holly and Ash are basically supporting characters now and we get to focus on Sofia. I really Iiked her when we met her in book one, but I grew to like her even more in book two. And we meet Isaiah, who Sofia is very suspicious of but also very attracted to. I do recommend this book, though you should really pick up the first one so you can understand the town and the characters better. I finished it with some questions still not answered so fingers crossed for a third book.
This is book two of the series. I did not read book one, and I do feel some parts were missed. Trigger warnings are PTSD, suicide, addiction and trauma. This book shows you a great look behind the scenes of the VA hospital and what happens when a young veteran is found with an apparent gun shot wound to the head in a parking garage. Was it truly a suicide or is something more sinister going on?

The True Purpose of Vines is the first book to the Winemakers series by Giovanna Siniscalchi. As I read the first chapter, I was not too sure where the book was going to take me. But as I continued on, I realized it was going to take me to a far more beautiful place than I imagined. In 1870 Portugal, during a timeframe when it was not considered normal for a woman to work so hard and be the household provider, there lived a headstrong widow, mother and passionate winemaker named Julia Costa-Ferreira. Julia has taken over her late husband’s business and does not need help or directions from any man. But here comes the handsome Griffon Maxwell, a pretentious Englishman who agrees to travel to Portugal initially to chase a debt with hopes of striking a deal. He didn’t realize he’d be chasing after the debtor’s heart as well. But can her independent ways and his conservative mindset find a way?
I loved the slow buildup of romance between these two characters, the descriptions, the setting. The author clearly took her time to do a lot of in-depth research to be able to take her readers to a historical period with elaborate, accurate detail. This was a beautiful story, and I look forward to the next one. I’d also like to mention how vibrant and gorgeous the cover is. A perfect representation for this tale. If you love a good historical romance and wine, this is the perfect story to find yourself lost in.
The Taste of Light – Book 2
The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi is the second book to the Winemakers series. I have to say this book was absolutely beautiful in every way. From the setting of Portugal 1872 to the character growth of Pedro, who is previously portrayed as a bad guy. I really loved Anne. She is not just a proper lady who teaches Tony English, but also has the ability to be tough when required. These characters have so much depth and layers, along with the plotline. I absolutely implore you to give this story, as well as the previous book ‘The True Purpose of Vines’, a chance if you love a good historical romance. The author has a fantastic way of ensnaring you into her writing and helping you visualize everything as you read along.
The Truth About Myths – Book 3
The Truth About Myths, by Giovanna Siniscalchi, is the third installment to The Winemakers series. And what an enjoyable third book it was! In the beautiful setting of Portugal’s city of Lisbon, we meet a prim and proper Portuguese princess named Isabel. Although she is a woman, she has no problem with upholding what she believes is just and right. Isabel is sent off at the request of her brother on a trip to Spain concerning political matters. However, a frustrated princess finds herself beings escorted by a man, Henrique, who seems to get under her skin and infuriate her. And at the same time, you sense a curiosity brewing underneath her surface from the moment they meet. Their personalities do not mesh, but the attraction between them is evident from the beginning and the tension between them builds. The author has done beautiful work yet again at creating an equally fascinating world with wonderfully diverse and developed characters. If you love a descriptive story accentuated with beautiful history and romance, I recommend this entire set! I don’t think you’ll have any regrets.

This story is the interesting journey of Amese, a young teenager learning how she must rule her part of the universe. Amese must discover secrets, secrets her family is hiding and secrets of magic. Amese must learn how to use this information to keep peace for all creatures everywhere and the six guardians of the ancient magic. This is a fun story for pre teens. I loved all the animals involved. Amese’s family and friends are entertaining as well.

The Better Man by Laurie Lewis is the second book in the A Silver Buckle Romance Series. When Laramee Stone’s family is in danger of losing their family’s ranch, she returns home. While there she meets Jamie Cannon. Laramee and Jamie have a rough start but grow closer as time passes. Laramee and Jamie find themselves falling for each other but an ex-fiance comes back around. I enjoyed this book. Jamie and Laramee’s relationship is so healing, wholesome, and sweet. These characters are wonderful together. They really make you believe in a second chance at love. There is so much fun dialogue. I found myself drawn into this world. It was a wonderful escape.

An enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery with an intriguing storyline which had me hooked throughout. Elena del Carral has been invited to dance at a Gala Performance by the founder of the world-renowned Terpsichore Ballet in New York City, Derek Michaels. Elena will also be auditioning for an unfinished ballet named Black Rhapsody by the late René Fauchier. This performance will enhance her career both as a principal dancer and a choreographer. However, Elena has a secret regarding the ballet, Black Rhapsody, and by returning to New York her revelation causes a chain of events including an attempted murder. This story had me gripped until the last page and the mystery element really kept me guessing. The world of the ballet really came to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story. I love the likeable and relatable Elena, and I look forward to future books in this series.

Oscar and Emmy’s family have started to volunteer at their local animal shelter where they read to the residents there who are waiting to be adopted.
One day, they bring some tiny kittens’ home with them, and Oscar and Emmy immediately lend a hand by helping them to settle into home life and treat these temporary residents like family, or at least until they are adopted by another family.
This is a lovely book about how to start looking at fostering young kittens, what goes into looking after them and the responsibilities involved, and it is done in an easy-to-understand way which everyone can learn from.
The Winemakers is a box set of 3 amazing books- While they could stand alone with enough backstory to explain the previous book, it reall would be better read in order. All 3 take place in Portugal.
The True Purpose of Vines follows a widowed winemaker (Julia) and a foreign Englishman (Griffin) who are thrown together, and cannot keep apart no matter how much they both feel they should. Even though it has a ‘hero saves the day’ theme at the end, Julie is independent and stubborn (both are, really) and I loved reading about her story. Happy endings and great historical tales weaved throughout.
A Taste of Light follows the ruthless Count Almoster, who we met in the first book. Though he played the role of the villain there, this book sheds more light on his tragic upbringing and history that lead to the jaded and wounded man he is today. Anne, Griffin’s sister is the heroine in this one, though they both end up saving each other. More happy endings.
The Truth About Myths surprised me. I really thought the 3rd would be about Almoster’s brother or cousin from the previous book; however, this tale follows Princess Isabel and notorious rake Count Henrique who are VERY reluctantly forced into a trip to Spain together. Of the 3, this one was my favorite. Political intrigue and scandal, of course a hefty amount of hesitant romance that leads both to find each other while also finding themselves and who they really are as individuals. The mystery and suspense in this book was, in my opinion, a lot more intense than the other two.
Overall, great stories! Amazing world building and historical accuracies, truly lovable and hatable characters, steamy romance but not to the point that it takes over the book and becomes the theme. Very well written, page turner and neatly wraps up the ending without leaving anything missing. I really can’t wait to see if there are more from this author and hope that Cris finds a happy ending as well!

This is the first book in the Elemental Passions series. And I have to say I loved it. What I found very unique is the fact that so many authors have written parts of the story and have had input into it but it reads and flows really well. All the different inputs have created a really unique and captivating book that is full of action, adventure, Fae, danger and fated mates. This is a steamy paranormal romance. I love the main characters of Aeris and Callum. Even though they are from different worlds they work so well together.
Aeris is a Fae. All her life she has been told to stay away from humans, that humans can’t know about Fae and their world. So she has visited humans under the cover of Glamour. She loves seeing their world even if they can’t see her. However that all changes when she bumps into Callum and she realises he can see her when no one else can. Detective Callum has seen loads of strange things in his line of work but when a beautiful woman stumbled into his life with a story about Fae’s and other paranormal beings that exist in fairy tales, can he even believe her?
What follows is a story of two people who are fated mates and they struggles being from opposite sides. Could their attraction towards each other even become more? How is it possible that Callum can see her when other humans can’t? And what danger has Aeris put the rest of her community in by revealing what she is and the existence of Fae?

Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Kerry Carr
Laramee’s life was torn apart, so she ran, until she was forced to come back home to decide her family’s ranch fate. Jamie has spent most of his life trying to redeem himself from past mistakes. Their lives collide and are changed forever. This book is a beautiful rocky romance and shows the courage these two must face their past issues head on in the company of someone they barely know. When neither of them can admit their short time was as impactful as it was, it breaks the readers’ heart to see them part ways. The chapters are engaging and evolve the story quickly.

The Better Man by Laurie L.C Lewis 5 stars After 5 years Laramee Stone returns home because her parents are looking into selling the Ranch. Laramee ran into Jamie Cannon along the way, he is the realtor that was asked to come check out the homestead. Laramee does not want to sell but she is not sure what it really is that she wants to do with it. Both have a past that has a sad tale and both need to learn to trust. After making a bet that Jamie couldn’t last a week as a hand and both working together to make necessary repairs to the land it seems they both are developing feelings. There seems to be a few things in the mix that’s holding them back. Sutton, an ex-fiancé of Laramee and the area sheriff is still in love with her and wants to rekindle what was lost, then there is the fact of both Laramee and Jamie’s tragic past, along with the sale of the ranch. Loved the book and gave it 5 stars as Laurie L.C Lewis told a charming story of two people who have family that loves them and needing to heal and be loved. This is book 2 of the Silver Buckle and I am looking forward to reading the 1st one soon.

Aeris a fae is not supposed to leave Laric, a warded colony for fae. Aeris enjoys seeing human things and frequently leaves the safety and sanctuary of Laric thinking humans can not see fae. That is until she encounters Callum, a human detective who can see her. There is an immediate attraction between the two that pulls them back to each other. How can Callum see Aeris when humans are not supposed to see past their glamours?
I found this book to be interesting. It’s not like other fantasy books involving fae that I have read. I kept reading just wanting to know what was going to happen next. It’s a great story filled with mystery, attraction, forbidden love, and intrigue. I look forward to a continuation of the series.
