I can most definitely relate to Laramee’s ailing family situation. I could also relate to Jamie in getting others to believe in you after they gave up on you. From the summary, you’d think they belong to and with one another, right? Not when Sutton comes out of nowhere to get Jamie back after Laramee and he had become emotionally tied.. But it’s all in Jamie’s hands and what his heart desires. Honestly, yes: I was and am pushimg for Laramee to win this one but then again, you never know what the author cooked up and I won’t spoil it for you. I loved this book as it was romantic, for me an escape from reality (at least for a few days) but it was steamy in a sensual way outside of sexual, easy to read with wonderful characters to match leaving me fully entertained.

Laramee is on her way back home after a frantic call from her mother, after leaving the ranch four years ago she is nervous about coming back and confronting her father, but she was not accepting the news when she arrived back. Lost in her world she strives to not let the only things she can slip from her fingers the ranch. When arriving she meets Jamie who’s business is real estate after being prickly initially they discover they have more in common than first thought.
Jamie is on his way to look at a ranch but first he was having some R and R in The Alpine a Ski resort but when he wonders into the reception area and sees his ex- fiancée getting ready to marry someone else all the air leaves his body, he rushes into the bakery onsite to get refreshments when he meets a lady and strikes up a conversation, unbeknown to him they will meet later and a lot less friendlier.
So when Jamie meets Laramee again at the Ranch things go decidedly a rye, Laramee wants him gone but he was instructed by her father so he is obliged to carry on with the job in hand but over the time of working together they see that they are so different after all.
This is a lovely story of family entanglements and expectations which are put on ourselves or others. The story weaves along and slow draws out the reasons that both of them have baggage and that they can just be friends rather than enemies in the long run that Jamie is only trying to help and somewhere along the way they become more.
With the secondary characters enhancing the story it is a lovely nice easy read, with characters who compliment each other and a clean story. I would love the read the next instalment in this series.

Kaitlyn is a top range hockey agent although being a woman in a mans world can be tough she has a reputation of a killer in the boardroom. Now she is representing young blood in the team and is damn good at it, although no-one ten years ago told her she would have to be a babysitter and agent all in one, but now she has her own agency and can pick and choose who she wants, until a friend asks her for a favour and in steps Bennet Banks her sworn enemy.
Can she put the past behind her to help him extend his contract and be a better person?
Ben “Bennett” Banks has lived to annoy Kaitlyn seen that day they meet ten years ago in the airport, she seemed okay with him then but once she knew who he was it has been daggers and teeth when ever they meet, but when he falls out with his agent just before a crucial extension of his contract no-one will touch him accept Kaitlyn. But can he keep his feelings for her under wraps as she has made it plain she hates him and is only doing this as a favour and to stick it to her old boss.
So, when something is released in the press at a critical time can Kaitlyn believe in Bennett or will she let him loose?
I love this calibration, the writing is brilliant and the characters are so real you wish they were your friends. This is the second book in this series but can easily be read as a stand alone novel but I recommend you read the first one as it is just as good.
Kaitlyn’s character is fiery and strong but as always you get to see the venerable side of her and that not everything is rosy in the garden. Ben’s character is lovely the rough alpha male on the ice but behind the scenes is a man who is misunderstood, caring and humble which makes these two characters just brilliant for each other.
The secondary characters as always are full of depth and life and just add to this wonderfully developed book, with you wanting to know the more about them in the next book. I hope Niko Drugov is our next mean hockey player to find love as it would be great for him and Chole to have some sparks in their future.
Can’t wait for the next instalment going forward.

Mood Swings & Hockey Flings is the second installment of Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart’s Hot Flash Hookups series. It follows Kaitlyn, hockey agent at the height of her career who, at the age of forty, is starting to think about starting a family, and Banks, hockey player who isn’t ready to retire at thirty-eight. I read a lot of hockey romances, but it was really refreshing seeing a woman of colour lead, and the leads being in their late thirties rather than early twenties. I think the authors handled the balance between having a career and starting a family really well, because I don’t think women should have to sacrifice one for the other. I also think they handled a woman nearing menopause really well, because women tend to feel old once they start thinking about menopause, but Kaitlyn is still confident and she still feels attractive, despite her mood swings or weight gain or fatigue. I did think, at the beginning, that Banks’ behaviour was immature for someone his age, but the more I read the more I changed my mind. My favourite character was Kaitlyn and my least favourite character was Ed. I recommend this book, mainly because it’s so refreshing to see an Asian female lead and a romance between two people in their late thirties. I also appreciate how the romance didn’t lead to anyone sacrificing any other important parts of their lives. ‘So much so that I might have been half in love with her by the time we said our goodbyes.’

4 Stars Murder on West Main (A South Shore Mystery) by I.M. Foster
Murder on West Main is the second book in the A South Shore Mystery Series and is a Historical Cozy Mystery that will have you turning the pages till the end. This cozy historical mystery is packed with action, suspense, mystery, drama,danger and so much more. The twists and turns had me turning the pages on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is a new to me author and I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect going in but I’m glad I took the chance. This authors style of writing and attention to detail pulls you into their world and makes you feel like you are part of the story. The characters are wonderful. I highly recommend reading this fast paced mystery to find out what happens next. I’m already looking forward to reading more from this Author.

This is book three in the Life is Hell Series by Naomi Valkyrie. This series just keeps getting better! We get to focus on Oren (a demon hunter newbie) and Teivel (a grumpy demon). Their attraction is clear to everyone. Oren brings out a softer side of Treivel. But can they make a relationship work? We meet a few new characters this time. Larkspur spends most of the time playing pranks on everyone and there is a baby that was dropped on Oren’s doorstep! You don’t have to read these books in order, but it doesn’t hurt to. That way you can learn about everyone involved. I definitely recommend this book.

Hilarious steamy rom-com for even those in certain stages of life. Ben and Kaitlyn are a feisty couple that brings the heat no matter where they are, bantering on the ice, playing mahjong with Beatrice, or between the sheets! These two push and pull each other to be the best.
I love all the hockey players. Psssst….these authors sound like they actually know hockey! Makes the story come alive!!

I am so glad I started reading this series, I have literally enjoyed every single one of these books so far and I really can’t wait to rea the rest. I didn’t know there was more to this series till I started looking. Each book gets better and better, and I just couldn’t put this one down like the first ones. I am a sticker for making sure all the books are read in order so this is no different, but you could probably get away with reading them by themselves. these books are paranormal romance books but there’s so much more involved. Teivel and Oren, one demon, one demon hunter, will have you on a whirl wind of a roller coaster with these two. Once again, we are back at Juniper Lake to help out Teivel ex but there’s attraction to his ex’s deputy. The fear of loving again, baggage being carried over, and the secret of being a demon hunter. What possible could go wrong? Or right? I honestly recommend this series and even thou I haven’t gotten o the rest I recommend the rest because if they are all this good.

The Better Man is Book 2 in the Silver Buckle Brides series and what an amazing read. While this book could be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading the first book in the series as some characters do tie into this book as well. The emotions and turmoil of two people whom really come from a past with hard struggle..this story really took me on a roller coaster of emotion. Drama, secrets, jealousy and grief but also a second chance in many ways to be better. I LOVED this story of Laramee and Jamie.
Laramee has come home to Colorado to her family ranch as her father and mother decided to sell due to some health issues her father is having. Laramee has so much hurt and grief coming back as there is it reminds her of a past tragedy that is truly heartbreaking. Jamie is hired to help the Stone family sell the beloved ranch and make things better, but Jamie never expected to challenged at first by a fiery Laramee. As Jamie and Laramee work together on repairs to the ranch to make it better for selling, their walls come down around their hearts very slowly…..but there is also a past love that comes about the ranch…Sutton…whom has love Laramee forever. With pasts that have heavy baggage, decisions that need to be made, will Laramee be able to overcome grief as it burdens her shoulders and find the love that she deserves…who does she choose? When secrets come to light with honestly….Jamie falls for Laramee…but is he the better man for her?
Definitely read and find out..I highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed this story. The story of how Amese finds not only her purpose but also herself was very interesting and held my interest. The journey for Amese had a few twists and turns but everything thing turned out okay in the end. There was a bit of a twist at the end, so I am thinking that Amese’s story is not over and I look forward to reading the next book.

This is a very emotional read! This is a book that I would STRONGLY recommend reading with your youngster, at least the first time they read it. It’s a story that really needs to be told but is highly emotional as previously mentioned.
Loris is in foster care and this books focuses on the emotions that he goes through with each move he has to make. It takes a lot of courage to be Loris but there are so many of them out there! It’s important to have conversations with kids reading this story to explore their emotions and feelings after hearing Loris’s plight.
The illustrations in this story are very colorful and really add to the story more. To see Loris’s transformation is pretty cool.

This book right here was short and sweet. It was a great laugh but also a good lesson learned. My daughter loved it. This author has yet to disappoint on a book. Great book to read to your kid at bedtime.
Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens by Terri Sabol is part of the Oscar and Emmy Series. This was the first book I have ever read in this series. It is so cute and educational. We follow Charlie and Abby twin siblings who love their cats Oscar and Emmy. The family decides to foster baby kittens. The story is so cute and heartwarming. It also helps explains to kids in an easy-to-understand way the responsibilities that go into fostering an animal. While also showing how rewarding it can be. This is a great read for young children. Especially to help them understand the concept of fostering. The illustrations were also really cute. This is a 5 out of 5 stars for me!

This is a really cute children’s book that follows a monkey maître d’ as they serve different types of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the animals in the zoo. It’s a rhyming book so it is very catchy and sing-songy. The illustrations are amazing and go along so well with the words on the page. The colors are nice and bright and will catch the eye of any kiddo. It’s funny and will have kids laughing at how the different animals like their PB&J’s and it may even have them saying “EWWW!” a few times too. This is a great children’s book to add to your rotation.

I have loved all of the books in this series, but this one may just be my favorite! I read it with my 8-year-old and 12-year-old kiddos who also loved it. I feel like the author does an amazing job explaining the process of fostering animals and not just including only the fun parts. We always love the illustrations and these beautiful pictures fit in well with the rest of the series. It promotes reducing the crowds in animal shelters and explains how much fostering benefits everyone involved! I highly recommend picking up this lighthearted but incredibly educational book on fostering kitties. It would be a wonderful fit for your home or your classroom!
I absolutely adore this book! This is the second installment in the Hot Flash Hookups series and my favorite so far. I loved Kaitlyn and Banks’s characters independently and together. Their banter, their stubbornness, and their chemistry…OMG their chemistry. Ray and Stewart had my hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put this one down! They way they do a slow burn is phenomenal! And this book is a slow, slow burn in the best of ways. I love the other tropes as well: forced proximity, forbidden love (agent & player), he falls first (a personal fav), and many more. The character development is *chef’s kiss* as is the plot line. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment! I highly recommend grabbing this book…it’s a fantastic sports romance with just a bit of spice. A great pallet cleanser if you are looking for something a bit lighter in-between the darker readings 😉 Reviewed by @meggs1717

One book written by 10 authors!! What a fun way to write a series! First book I have ever read that was a 10 author collaboration. And it certainly didn’t disappoint!! Aeris is a Fae from the mystical realm of Laric. She has unique air abilities and uses glamour to walk around New Orleans. Not being aloud to leave her realm and being forbidden to be around humans doesn’t stop her one bit. One day while out in the world she bumps into Detective Callum, which would normally be fine. Written off as a stumble or someone else just miss stepping into him, but not this time! Callum can actually see Aeris! No human has ever been able to see past her glamour. None! This is bad. So, so bad. Fae-Human unions are forbidden and her secrets are also her realms’ livelihood. Callum has never seen anyone like Aeris. She’s captivating, mystical, and of course beautiful. His life is about to be turned upside down and he has no clue. A world of magic has been hidden in plain sight and he never knew. He certainly does now!! Will these two face what’s lerking around New Orleans? Fated love is fated for a reason right? Will destiny stand in their way? This is book one of the five book series and I can tell you right now that I can not wait to read the rest!! This one was so good!! It hooks you right in and keeps you on the edge of your seat to see what’s going to happen next! I loved the elemental side to the story and I’m excited to see more in the series.

This book is the first installment in the Elena del Carral Mystery series. The author’s own mother was the inspiration for this book.

Foster – Review by Paula R Sayers
This is the second book that I have read by this author and it is just as good as the previous one. I loved how this story was told ad the characters and everything about it. I connected with them from the moment I started reading and became so invested in them so quickly. The author created meaningful and impactful characters that I wanted to know more about. The storyline was just as good as the characters. I was drawn in from the start and could not wait to see how things would play out. It isn’t very often I feel the need to comment on a book cover but each book I have read by this author has the most gorgeous and captivating covers. These alone would have driven me to pick up the books. This book is fantastic, well written and one I would highly recommend.
This book is the third book in the trilogy and I would highly recommend reading them in order. It was great to get back into this story and the character and seeing the conclusion of the story I have become invested in. I was looking forward to seeing how everything would play out and I think the author did the series justice. This author was a relatively new author to me when I started reading this series but this it has definitely cemented the fact that I will be reading more from her. Her writing style makes it easy to engage with the story and I enjoyed reading this series from start to finish. I am looking forward to seeing what else this author has to offer.

I wasn’t familiar with this book, author or series when I started reading so I was pleasantly surprised to find this was a historical story, as well as being a mystery. I thought this book was a brilliant mystery story. I loved watching it all play out and the characters piece everything together. I was right there with them trying to figure out what had happened and who was responsible. The way the author has created this story, weaving it all together, is so well done. It had me pulled in from the start and I couldn’t stop myself from reading the book to find out what was going on. I kept thinking I had figured it out until the author would add more to the story. This is a brilliant book and I am looking forward to reading more.

Foster – Review by Kerry Baker
I loved reading the first book in this series and this book is definitely just as good. I thought the characters brought this story to life and I loved the connection between them. The constant push and pull, their chemistry, it all made the book so much better to read. I thought the overall story was great as well. Sylvie Stewart is an author I always enjoy reading and this collaboration between authors is just as good. I think their writing styles work really well together and it made the book even more interesting to read. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this series.

I was so excited to get my hands on the next book on this series. By book 10, most series have started to wan and lose their grip on me but this one just keeps getting better and better. I was pulled straight into these books and the characters. I loved getting to know them and discovering even more about this world I have come to love. This author really has an interesting writing style. Her books have a dark and intense feeling to them and yet they are so easy to read because of how well written they are. This series has easily become one of my favourite to read and I cannot wait to see what else this author has to offer.

This book is a fantastic and fun children’s story, and is one that is entertaining from start to finish. It is a completely engaging story that really caught my kids attention right from the word go. They loved the idea of getting stuck to a giant sweet and really found it funny that this happened to the character. This author really knows how to write brilliant children’s books. They are a firm favourite in our house and with each book we just love her even more. This book has been added to the collection of ones we will read multiple times (and already have) and I am sure it will be joined by many from this author.
This book was so incredible!! Not only does it keep you turning the page, but you absolutely get to know each and every person in this story. It is amazing that it is wrote by 10 authors. Well done to the authors for working to create a great book.

Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Laura Quinn
This is the 4th book in the Full Throttle Cyborg series. This is a sci-fi romance with a enemies to lovers story. It is also full of action, adventure, fast cars, lies, gangs, betrayal and revenge. I was immediately captivated by this authors world building skills. It was so easy to picture and imagine yourself in the places the author was describing.
Dakota ‘Drag’ Michelson has only truelly loved one woman in his life but when Bridget betrayed him and framed him for murder the only thing he felt for her was hate. Or so he thought. With a big championship race looming the last thing he needs is a distraction and Bridget is one big distraction.
Bridget has always gone after what she wants in life no matter what she has to do or who she hurts in the process. Now she wants to be free of the gang she finds herself and the only person that can help her is Drag. After she tried to sabatage the race and her spy was uncovered she knows the only thing left to do is join forces with Drag. But Drag won’t be fooled twice. He doesn’t trust Bridget at all. After she did last time how could he possible trust her. But as old feelings start to resurface is the need for revenge going to be the only driving force? With love and hate being so close how can you tell you’ve crossed the line from one to another?
This was a fast paced story full of twists and turns. I loved the duel prospective which really brings the characters to life and makes them feel more real.
