Blue Magnolia (Red Farlow Mysteries, #2)Blue Magnolia by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had an interesting cover with a single man with a cowboy hat walking into a town. It looked like it was right out of the midwest, or a modern ghost town. The story is unique and intriguing. Red Farlow walks into a cult following, Blue Magnolia. His client is in a heap of trouble with Blue Magnolia and wants help. Will Farlow be able to help or will have trouble coming at him. One thing I really enjoy is Red Farlow’s character. He is a strong male character who does not mind getting his hands dirty. The story line grabs me from the first page until the last page. I am interested in cult societies. It fascinates me that people are able to be easily controlled. Highly recommend this story to see what happens. Will Red find his match with Blue Magnolia? Can he help his client Will?

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist (Karina Cardinal Mysteries #1) by Ellen Butler

This was the first book I’ve read by Butler, but it is not going to be my last. This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat wanting more. I couldn’t put the book down until I was done. I still want more.

Karina is a lawyer and self made mystery solver. She is dating someone who has family money. What happens when she finds something she wasn’t supposed to see? Will her and the boyfriend survive? The quote I choose for Karina is: “No. I’m sure it wasn’t like that. As a matter of fact, I’m positive you put it on to make sure I wasn’t cheating on you. Like your past girlfriends. Is that what it was like?”

Patrick is a boy from money. He doesn’t follow in daddy’s footsteps, but past relationships mess with him. He wants to believe that Karina isn’t cheating, but does the unthinkable. The quote I choose for Patrick is: “I know. Our plans changed, but now that we’re here amidst your family, I simply can’t wait any longer. Karina, my love, will you marry me?”

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good crime, mystery, and romance all rolled together. Butler had really brought these characters to life and I can’t wait for more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a lovely romance with a suspense factor. The story is good. The characters were easy to like. Matt, the town doctor and eligible bachelor has found a women who interests him. At one time I thought he was A bit on the stalker side in his pursuit of her…but at least she didn’t think so. I do like that he is single minded enough though and doesn’t give up on what he wants.

These two live in a small town where everyone know everything about the townies. Rumors fly about and are shared with over a beer at the bar or shopping around town. This is what causes the secondary part of the story take over. I almost enjoyed this plot path better than the romance side.

Overall this is a good read. Not my fav by this author but still interesting enough to keep you engaged.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Drawn to him by Tammy Mannersly is a really enjoyable read. At the beginning of the book it seems like it will just be a romance novel however it quickly develops into a thriller. Erica has decided that a relationship is off the table, she is determined not to commit to another man until she meets the handsome local doctor. Matt is drawn to Erica and is determined to change her mind when it comes to romance. However, someone else in town has their sights set on Matt and is not going to let anyone get in their way. I really enjoyed the storyline of this book, I am intrigued by the secondary characters too, particularly the two best friends of the main characters, Seeley and Nate. I would recommend this book to lovers of romance and mystery. I loved the fact that this book kept me guessing right until the end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flicker to Fire: Crimson Sash: Book 3 by Amanda Marin is a YA dystopian fantasy story. It is a bittersweet tale and sadly the end of the series. It is both heart breaking and heart-warming and is engaging. You really need to start at the beginning with the first book and work your way up to this one. The story is wonderful and full of many new characters as well as those from the first two books. Amanda has done a wonderful job with the two leading characters who are beautifully written. The journey they have been on has been fraught with heart ache and I have never seen two people more deserving and who all they want is love and freedom and are finally fighting back.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blue Magnolia: Red Farlow Mysteries: #2 by W.F. Ranew is a crime/mystery story. It is multi layered and has an original storyline. The premise is good, but I found it tough going in the beginning as it was a little slow and had to retrace my steps sometimes. There are also a lot of players and it took me a while to settle in to WF’s writing style. Having said that it was an interesting read and I was definitely intrigued to see how it would all play out. It is a compelling puzzle that keeps us on our toes.

Hank is a magnet for trouble, mayhem and havoc and Red is hired to look out for him. Red must dig deeper than he has before to keep Hank out of trouble.

Her Blackened Soul is the first book in the Blackened series by Isra Sravenheart. This Fantasy/Fairytale is the first book I have read by Ms. Sravenheart. I was sucked in from the very first page. I had to keep reading to find out how it was going to end. Lady Isra is a dark witch who over time just drops deeper into the dark side. Taking the power of a dragon and spiraling into the darkness until she meets Astrid, the raven. The story flowed smoothly and the characters were well defined. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book in this series.

The Slaughter of Leith HallThe Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Slaughter of Leith Hall is a very interesting historic novel filled with mystery and suspense. I am a huge fan of outlander, and this book grabbed my interest as it is set in Scotland shortly after the Jacobites fight with the British.
John Leith is trying to gain social status by fighting for the British army shortly after the war between the Jacobites and the British. He is back in Scotland, and takes a fiercely determined and intuitive young man Charlie Rob under his wing. Charlie learns a lot shadowing Leith wherever he goes, and is content with his job, until one day, he is thrown in the middle of a murder mystery.
Charlie’s strong sense of justice urges him to get to the roots of the mystery and he finds himself obsessed with the murder.
It is a very gripping read and transports you into a different world. As I was turning one page after another, I could visualize Scotland and outlander before my eyes. It is a very interesting read which mixes fiction with historic facts together. The reader learns a lot about the Scottish history in this book.
A very good read, do not miss it.

I fell head over heels in love with Tyler and Gianna. At first I was slightly upset because of the way Gianna was being treated by her boss but as soon as her and Tyler met, I was back on board. I was worried that I wasn’t going to love Tyler as much because of the way he was, all about himself, in the first book. As I read on and got to know more of the reasons behind the way he was, I absolutely loved him. Throw in a spunky Italian from New York and we had a WINNER!!! I can not wait for Trey’s book!!!! I will just have to wait until I read that one to figure out which one of the Prentice brothers is my favorite, so far it is a close tie between Tate and Tyler!!!’

The Trouble With Paradise (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 4) by Cynthia Hamilton

I think this is my favorite of the series so far. I’m sure I felt that way about the last one too but I really enjoyed every minute I spent reading this book. Madeline is a bad a&^ lady and she proves it time and time again.

The two cases Madeline and Mike have this time are almost impossible to figure out. Two women widowed. One is jail, one isn’t but they both want answers. If anyone can figure out what happened it’s Madeline and Mike.

Can we talk about Samir for just a second? How awesome is he? I feel he is under appreciated and no matter what Madeline does for him it will never be enough.

Can’t wait for the next book to come out so I can find out what happens next.

Flicker to Fire by Amanda Marin is the 3rd book in the Crimson Sash series and was a great installment to read! I’m pretty sure this was the final book in the series, and if it was it was a great conclusion to a great series! You will definitely want to start with the first book though, or some of the events and past remembrances won’t make sense. It took me a while to remember what happened in the second book. The characters were great, the storyline was amazing, and this is the kind of book that makes you wary of what the future might hold if somet things don’t change. I definitely recommend this series! It was a great read.

I am loving this series! Falling for the Texan is the second book in the Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge by Nicole Flockton. Tyler Prentice is ready to lunch his winery but first, he needs some marketing help. Tyler thought he was having a friend help but he wasn’t expecting Gianna Lucchia. Gianna is the opposite of any girl in Texas, but can we say opposites attract. Tyler and Gianna were traffic characters and had me loving their romance.

I have fallen hard for the Prentice Brothers but I’m impatiently waiting to see what will happen with the third brother.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawn to Him is a feel-good easy romance by an Aussie writer Tammy Mannersly. I was feeling for some romance and I love Aussie writers and I had read one of Tammy’s other romances (second chances one) so I felt pretty good when picking up the copy of Drawn to Him. I was not disappointed! She delivered for sure AND in addition to the romance you could close your eyes and pretend that everyone was speaking with an Aussie accent and feel as if you were there, down under!
Drawn to Him gives us Erica, an art teacher and art store owner, and Matt, a mall country town doctor. Erica has sworn to stay away from love after all those failed relationships so she is not too happy when she feels that crazy electrifying connection to the doctor that is taking care of her after the injures herself. Matt is wishing for love but the way the single young women go after him, well, it is a bit unnerving and as it turns out his gut feeling was not wrong! Mix together exhilarating attraction, past failed relationship, a dangerous secret admirer and you get a romance that strikes a balance between a drama and easiness and you will not hesitate to pick up Tammy’s book in future!

Drawn to Him by Tammy Mannersly is a small-town romance. The story is about Erica and Dr. Matt who meet by chance. The two feel instant chemistry. Both have had their hearts broken in the past, will they be able to put the past behind them? I instantly liked the characters, especially Erica. She is smart, independent, and not caught up in all the small-town drama. I found this to be a quick but delightful read and wanted to see how the story would progress. This was a cozy story that I curled up to read. I look forward to reading more from Tammy Mannersly in the future.

I loved reading the book Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson. It is a story that includes mystery and suspense. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. This is the second Logan McKenna book that I have read, and it is just as amazing as the first one. Logan is a woman who is intelligent, independent, strong, and kind. She finds herself in Portland, Oregon where she meets new friends and is across the street when an explosion occurs. She is determined to help. Read this book to find out the full story. This story had me trying to guess what was going to happen next. The book is written with such detail about the people and places where Logan goes to and meets. I felt like I was right there with her. The story has many additional characters that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the book. The author does a wonderful job of making the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on an entertaining and unforgettable read. I highly recommend reading it.

I loved reading the book Alligators in the Trees by Cynthia Hamilton. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that has amazing characters and had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it.

Each of them has a starring role in this book and the author does an amazing job in making them come alive on the page. Their stories and how their lives intersect kept me turning pages wondering how it all would come out in the end. I found myself caring about Tobias, Philip, and Priscilla with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. There are moments of sadness as well as touching moments in this story. The three main characters find themselves reflecting on their lives and also sharing their stories. Don’t miss out on a story that grabs your attention from the beginning. It is an intriguing and entertaining tale. I highly recommend it.

This book was very well written and kept my attention from the first page to the last. I love how there is just enough intrigue and drama to keep the reader going.

I could really feel the emotions Charlie felt as the drama unfolded. I was on the edge of my seat to see who was actually guilty.

I enjoyed this nonfiction book about life, the living, doing and moving. This book has a few stories about how to do this plus it also gives you steps for you to follow. I found this book easy to follow and read. It gives practical ideas for you to change your life and still keep the social distance. I loved the title of this book as it makes sense with what this book will do for your life. I know that I will be trying a few suggested ideas. It is geared more towards retirement age but I think it would be good for anyone who is looking to be inspired, motivated. I highly recommend this book to help you improve your life.

I felt that the author did such a great job bringing the characters to life that I could easily follow the story line and had a good sense of what was happening and what may have happened previously.

The chemistry between Neve and Micah really is the underlying part of this story and the drama that surrounds them and their family. I felt that the author really draws in the reader and the twists of the story along with the world that has been created just keep you on the edge of your seat. I felt as though I was there and part of the story as I got further and further into

This is book 4 in the Madeline Dawkins series and these books keep getting better and better. It is a great faced paced read and keeps you guessing every step of the way.

After 4 months out recovering from injury Madeline is back at the PI firm with Mike ready to solve more cases.

When 2 cases arrive at once they have their work cut out for them. One case is brought to them by a friend. The other is brought to them by their enemy.

The 1st case is a woman who’s husband died from suicide, well that was the finding but his wife Natalie doesn’t believe that is the case. Did Andrew commit suicide or was it something more sinister? Also are Natalie’s motives for finding the truth the motives of a bereaved widow or is there more to it?

The second case was brought to them by Madeline’s ex husband who we know can’t be trusted. This case involves the murder of a man by tractor accident. However the police don’t believe it was an accident and arrest his wife Lyndsey for his murder. Was it just a tragic accident?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blue Magnolia is the second book in the Red Farlow Mysteries series, but my first read by W.F Ranew. It is an interesting crime investigation story full of mystery, drama, intrigue, danger, and lots more that kept me turning the pages to discover what was happening. I enjoyed this book and look forward to exploring W.F Ranew’s other books in this series.
Hank Tillman (“Cowboy”) is a country music singer trying to make it big. He seems to attract trouble, stumbling from one error in judgement to another mishap. When one of his songs becomes a hit- it attracts some unwanted attention in the form an extremist group who are determined to ‘persuade’ him to perform at their rally. Declining the radical organization places Hank in a precarious situation. And so enters Private Investigator Red Farlow, who is hired to help protect him. But, things heat up and the trouble escalates, with danger becoming an ever-present shadow. Red will need to dig deep and utilize all his skills in order to get to the bottom of things before it’s too late.
This was a detailed and descriptive story with an original premise and an intriguing puzzle that had my mind pondering the outcome. There was a lot happening and a lot of ‘parts’ in play, which gave the story a bit of a jerky/choppy feel. I am interested to see how the series develops in the next book/s.

Thank you, W.F Ranew!

Deception by Victoria Saccenti

This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Warning now if you don’t like BDSM then this won’t be a book for you.

Hunter is a girl who turns everyone away. She’s the type who doesn’t want to let a guy in. Known as a heartbreaker and homewrecker she likes life that way. Until Joe Reid enters her life. The quote I choose for Hunter is: “I thought I was losing my mind. See, he calls to me, and more bewildering is the sensation of healing I get from him.”

Joe, a former Marine, comes home for good. Losing a buddy of his started something that changes his life. Hunter wasn’t supposed to change his life but she did. For the better it seems. The quote I choose for Joe is: “Damn, girl. You flirt, you’ll find me and a hell of a lot more.”

This book was an amazing page turner and I will be keeping my eye out for more. Hunter and Joe are so realistic I thought it was a movie. I do highly recommend this for anyone who likes to think outside the box.
