This is an eclectic work of modern poetry. Ryan M. Becker takes you on a trippy, edgy yet completely relatable ride through his poems. I really enjoyed reading his poetry and I loved that I could read a poem or two here and there. Some where longer than others, but they weren’t too long. A lot of his poetry was very nostalgic and brought back memories of my childhood and teen years. I loved his word choice and more than once I was running to the dictionary (which I love to do) to see what a word meant or how to pronounce it. I absolutely LOVED the artistic aesthetic of this collection of poems. The art done by Matthew Revert was spot on with each poems and equally as trippy and edgy. Even if you don’t think poetry is your genre, give this a shot…I think you’ll like it!

Bake Happy is the third and final book in the Bake Believe Trilogy. I read this book without reading books 1 and 2 in the trilogy. I wish I had read the other books first, but I still enjoyed this book on its own. I love the characters in this story! Cat and Robyn have an enviable cousin bond. I love that their families get together often and support both main characters. I like that the author included recipes to go with each chapter of the book. The ending wasn’t how I predicted the book would end, but it was a good ending to the story. Reading this book makes me want to go back and read the first two books. I would recommend this book for my junior high students to read, especially if they are interested in baking.

I love to read a book that goes into the story of who the author is, who they were, and how they became who they are now. This book was beautiful, inspiring, and enlightening. I was not able to put it down till I reached its completion as I read. I was very moved by the words that came to life as I read!
To explain the depth of all this book possesses, I can only tell you that you need to read it to envision and feel the what this author lived through and endured. From things she witnessed to events she had to go through, it was not all sugar and lollipops. I enjoyed reading her feelings and emotions as she became who she is, The book was more than a memoir to me, it was a truly heart opening and inspiring motivational read. I cried at times, everything felt so real. The beauty of this book was more than just words, you really felt everything. This author put everything out there, and allowed the reader to be a part of their most sincere and private moments. Nothing was more inspirational and beautiful to me! I loved this so much!
I personally thank this author for all that they gave when writing this memoir. A thank you doesn’t justify enough, but know I was touched as I read. This a must read for sure, and a very high recommendation.

I loved the first book in this series! So of course I had to get my own paws on this beloved gem. I love animals, and cats are very special to me, so of course reading this and hearing about the cats in the story and around the protagonist warms my heart completely! This second installment does not disappoint at all.
We have our fan favorite Ellie back with another mystery in her cat cafe at hand. I loved how her personality and ability to be as curious and inquisitive as she was in the first, was just as strong in this book! This book I found was a quicker pace than the first, as we knew the main characters and some of the felines, and I found the story took different turns than I expected, I was very much immersed in the story and wondering what would happen next! Could not put it down! I was hooked! Love this book and this wonderful author!
The series appeals to me as I do love cats, and I love a good cozy mystery. I love when an author takes all your personal favorite things and makes a book off them! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

Hartman – Review by Lorrene Huisman
I really enjoyed this rom com. It is part of a series, however it can be read as a standalone and enjoyed just as much. I loved the characters, the author does an amazing job of making the characters relatable and their personalities jump right off the page.
The story is is set in a paradise where you can imagine falling in love would be easy. However the course of love is never straight forward and when it involves a past love then things just get even more complicated. Add to the corruption and lies that are found in this book and it really adds an extra dimension to the story so it has something extra than just being a rom com
I love how the author brings in humour and innuendos to really highlight Marrisa and Westons past and the way they communicate with each other in this way really shows their relationship for the amazing connection it has. But will past events and current lies stop them from rekindling their relationship.

I have been a fan of this author for quite some time now. I really enjoyed this new series, the story was full of realistic moments, characters you cheered for, and moments that made your heart tender
I loved the story how it had its ability to be sweet more than once throughout the story Jake was a great guy. He had a heart of gold, who just wanted to find the person who would complete him. His heart made him who he was and I really admired that. I related to Lauren a lot. She had walls, for reasons she felt were justified. I loved her and Jake together, they had so much chemistry, and to me they were meant for one another. Sometimes fate has plans. such as their blind date. I love as usual, the author’s writing style and how the book weaves with the story! I enjoyed it very much! Loved it!
The story was amazing and heartfelt. I could not put it down. I can’t wait to read more in the series! This book alone is a must read for sure, and with no doubt, a high recommendation from this reader!

This is the 4th book in the Masters of the Consulate series. I have loved every single one of these books and I really recommend reading them from the start so you follow the full story. The author does an amazing job with these vampire romance books. There is so much more happening than just the romance, there is danger and traitors in each side of paranormal beings from the witches and the vampires. It is a fast paced story full of twists and turns that keeps the reader gripped from beginning to end
They now have to find a way to work together after years and years of being enemy’s. The romance side is really well written I love how opposites attract and how even though they are ment to be enemies Romano and Raven can’t deny or fight the attraction between them. Even though everything is telling them they can’t be together what do you do when you can’t fight destiny. Will this bring the witches and vampires together to make them stronger against their enemies or will this union only serve to make the animosity between witches and vampires even worse. Fighting against their attraction whilst also fighting enemies set on destroying both the vampires and witches are they going to be able to survive?

This was nothing like I’ve ever read before. I read the many many warnings prehand and felt capable of handing such scenes or stories. The closest thing I can describe this to would be 50 shades of grey, but multiplied by 10. In darkness and levels of bdsm. Also this was a really long book since it went so far into detail. Which isn’t a bad thing, it made sure all basis we’re covered. However there was some repetitiveness that had me sighing like here we go again. Overall I would call this a good read, definitely not for the faint of heart. Definitely opened my eyes more in the realm of bdsm!

Destiny’s Daughter is Lynda’s third memoir and is an inspiring story from the heart. It is a look at her life trying to find a place where it would feed her mind, body and soul and her passion of writing. It is Lynda’s story where she followed her dreams and fell in love putting down roots in the mysterious and exotic city of Istanbul and where she once again found her stories.
As I was with Cafe Confidential Lynda once again gives us an unfiltered and intimate look into her life. I was fully immersed in the story and it was over before I knew it, but it left an impression on me.
Imagine seeing warships in Istanbul on their way to start a war with Ukraine. It would be enough to make one take stock of their life and that is what Lynda did. This is an emotional, raw and heartfelt story where she focused on positivity and used her strength and her courage to persevere and create to tell her stories.

I absolutely love this series with these seriously sexy men of the dark and each book gets deliciously better than the last.
Master Romano is the fourth book in the Masters of the Consulate in this paranormal vampire romance series. It is so easy to embrace the world of darkness with vampires and get lost amongst the pages of this dark tale. I have said it before and I will say it again the world building and characters make this tale enticing and delightful. Sylvia paints a vivid picture for a world that is harsh and yet comes with a deep sense of beauty that is hot…….
With paranormal beings, century old feuds, one particular sassy witch, some seriously sexy vampires and the Consulate the story is intense and keeps page after page turning. This fast-paced tale is full of suspense and is sexy mexy. Don’t miss out on this wonderful series.
These fanged lords of darkness (I love the authors description) will do anything to protect what is theirs even if it means going against and old order.
Make sure you read these books in order and start today because you are seriously missing out if you don’t.

This is such a fun read. With great characters, especially the main characters Marissa and Weston, and an intriguing storyline that keeps you captivated from start to finish this is definitely a book you don’t want to miss. The very talented author created such a beautiful place and community on Postscript Island that had me really wanting to go there! I for one will be now finding the first book and reading it as well purely because I enjoyed this so much and I can’t wait for the next book as well.

I was introduced to Toni’s work when reading Out of Time and I enjoyed her writing.
Jake is the first book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series. Toni has given a different spin on the usual Billionaire tropes. A novel idea of having to rely on other senses getting to know someone makes this one interesting read.
Jake wants someone to want him for him not how many 0.00’s he has. Lauren has lumped all rich men in the same category and money isn’t everything.
A blind date might just be what changes ideas, wants and misconceptions in this steamy romantic adventure. It is easy for the pages to keep turning and keeping you intrigued wanting to know how it all turns out I enjoyed the easy banter between the friendships of the male characters. You will definitely enjoy it.
I look forward to reading about the other four friends in their own books.

Imagine sitting at the beach with a cocktail in hand and a good book in the other well that is exactly what Tropical Date is.
I love a good RomCom and that is just what RS has given us. She is a new author to me and one I look forward to reading more of. This is the third book in this series but I have read it as a standalone and I didn’t feel like I was missing out. I will however be going back to read the others.
Tropical date is fun and full of all the things I enjoy in a romantic comedy. I mean my sense of humour had me laughing when a girl was hit by a bus in Bad Girls.
There is nothing straight forward on the road to love especially when there is a past between them which makes for some delightful barbs and puns.
With a beautiful tropical setting, delightful wit, lots banter, a condom company and a nudist colony I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The delightful humour, wit and banter infused throughout this adventure added with a tad of mystery and a dab of danger there is something to delight your senses.

This is book 2 in the series. It can be read as a standalone. It is an erotic novel with suspense and excitement! It will definitely take you on a ride of ups and downs with everything a reader wants in a book. Noah and Callie’s chemistry is amazing. To think that Callie has been attracted to Noah for 6 years, and when they finally hook up…WOW!!!

Oh, this author knows how to write a paranormal romance that will please a reader. Romano and Raven are the latest pairing in the Masters of the Consulate series. The drama, romance, adventure, and mystery all make for tremendously entertaining reading. Vampires, wolves, and witches with the mob thrown in are involved in the crazy war to find out who is behind trying take out the Vampires. Descalia, Lucianna, Embry, Lucas, Trentino, and others came to fill out this intriguing tale of love and suspense. The plot was enthralling. I was engaged from the beginning. I love this series because you can pick up where you left off just like you went to visit an old friend. Oh, but there is a cliffhanger and I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. This is one of my favorites. You must read this. It would get more than 5 stars if I could give it.

This book truly topped the WOW factor! I love a good action thriller, but this one really blew my expectations really! The book was a quick read, and not a dull moment in my reading! I was highly invested!
Tegan Stone was wonderful female lead characters. I admired her ability to be strong, touch, and intelligent as she was, She had that never give up attitude. I loved how she handled her mission, and what shocked me was leading to the end, where her mission led to questions that made it difficult to complete her mission for what it was. I loved the writing style of the author, how they created a quick fast read that was amazing from start to finish! I could not put this down to the end! The suspense was too much to stop! Loved it!
The book was amazing and pumped full of action and suspense that I did not hesitate to love! I cannot wait to read more by this author and partake in Tegan’s adventures! Highly recommend this must read!!

King – Review by Lorrene Huisman
Blind date. I have never been on one but this makes me want to maybe try it out someday. Jake is loaded with all the money he could want and all the girls that throw themselves at him yet none of them are who he wants after all, they all only want his money. Lauren is getting by as an assistant for Owen. She is living with a roommate who is toxic. Owen and his sister set Jake and Lauren up on a blind date and Lauren hesitates because of her past and fear that Jake will think she is just like all the other women. These two are adorable and the support that they have around them and family is everything.

I found this to be the sweetest billionaire romance. Our heroine is a sweet working girl. She’s just trying to get ahead. The sister of her boss hooks her up on a blind date with his billionaire friend. The whole “blind date” restaurant concept, what a crappy way to have a date. These two were pretty good sports. I found their chemistry charming and entertaining. He doesn’t want gold diggers and she doesn’t want to be viewed as one. They have some issues to work out. The tone of the story is contemporary and very engaging. I couldn’t put the story down. I’m looking forward to reading the series. Great romance that I recommend.

I have been reading this book since the first book came out, and each time I am swooning in my own way literally! I can never get enough of these deep in depth characters or those steamy moments that impact my entire kindle screen! The author is certainly talented at making this series come to life!
I enjoyed this book with every part of my soul! The characters in this one were deep as they can go as always, the romance was steamy. The suspense was shocking at times, and kept you on the edge of your seat! I loved how things went with this book not in the ordinary sense. Everything was a risk it seemed, and to take it, meant putting everything on the line. As per usual, this book was impossible to put down. The story was different compared to others, and I was very much intrigued! Freaking loved this book!
The entire series is a must read for sure! I loved this book as a independent installment for all it was. The author has an amazing writing style! Highly recommend it all around! A must read with no doubt!

Oh my heavens, this is quite an entertaining romantic comedy. Winston and Marissa are a couple that grew up together and dated. They broke up and ended up together again, due to circumstances beyond their control. Winston has come home again to help his mom. Marissa is in a tizzy thinking it’s all about her. The adventures are many. They help solve a mystery. I love the humor in this. I love a good romcom. The humor, romance and a touch of mystery make the plot very entertaining. I found myself intrigued and wanting to keep reading. I loved the characters and how relatable they are. What a fun story. I will be looking for more from this author.

Jonesee – Review by Lorrene Huisman
I absolutely love listening to this book! It was quite out of my wheelhouse and I am so glad I chose it! That characters are wonderful. The plot was enough to keep my attention and that narrators voice was soothing enough to not be mundane or boring! I look forward to trying more books outside of my wheelhouse thanks to Sand Your Ground

I really enjoyed the introduction to this book as it is very quiet and I really like her character as she is very feisty. She’s only one out her for friend who has escaped from the horror as she watched other friends being murdered. Having a cop say they think you murder your mate wow she doesn’t know where she stands. Arrset for a murder she didn’t commit. They alot of emotions and revelation in this book.

This is the first non romance book I’ve read in a VERY LONG time. And it is now in my top 5 reads for 2022. The research, time and care that went into writing this book resonates through every line. What was extra special about this book was that it’s a story not really told. We mostly hear about what the Jewish community went through during WWll, and easily forget that other countries were kept captives in their own homes. Michelle’s story is something really special and extremely eye opening. The way that her faith carried her through this trying time is something I will always remember.
This is a must read for any Historical Fiction Fan!!

I left a career in sales in Mexico in 2019 to travel and find a place where I would write and maybe paint and continue my creative dreams. Fate intervened, and after four months of travel, I fell in lust with a young Muslim Turk and in love with Istanbul’s historic and exotic city.
Instead of Elizabeth Gilbert’s laid-back Bali, the energy and creativity of Istanbul turned out to be a writer’s dream. But soon, a worldwide pandemic, lockdowns, death, and anxiety attacks made me question if I had lost complete touch with reality. “I should be retired and living a comfortable life in Canada!”
From my early years as a military brat, I had perfected the art of starting over. But nothing had prepared me for the sight of Russian warships on the Bosphorus Strait on their way home to begin a war with Ukraine. I couldn’t write; I couldn’t read. My emotions overwhelmed me, and anxiety replaced creativity; Xanax took over from vitamin C.
One morning I woke up determined to heal myself and share this story. I slowly began to write again. And then it hit me. I shouldn’t be surprised to find myself close to a war zone. I am, after all, a product of my military father, destiny’s daughter.
I’m a writer, a poet, a dreamer, and a lover. I’m a Canadian girl, but I live wherever life takes me. For many years that was Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. In 2019 I bought a series of one-way tickets to several exotic locations around the world. After a two-day layover in Türkiye, I fell in love with Istanbul and a Turkish man. After my travels I returned to Istanbul and have lived here ever since. I’ve found intrigue and mystery wherever I turn in the Middle East. I love words, street art and capturing life with my camera lens. I create stories from what I see and what I can imagine. You will find 19 published books—spy fiction, romantic suspense, poetry, and memoir—on Amazon. My latest is DESTINY’S DAUGHTER my 20th book.

Nothing hits the spot like suspense and spice! Noah leaves little to the imagination and makes it all full reality. The chemistry and attraction radiated through the pages, and I was on edge waiting for what was next. Callie felt like the girl next door , but innocent by no means. Noah was pure sex on legs and no one trick pony. Noah and Callie together were hot !! One week was never possible because you could only see them together for a lifetime. Amazing and fun read!

It’s Makayla’s first year in the paranormal academy system. When all three of the schools she applies to deny her entry, there’s only one left. Unfortunately, she’s more interested in finding a way out of Grave Digger Academy than in learning its curriculum.
Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.
This year’s students are about to learn corpses can be temperamental, and when the dead refuse to cooperate, there’s Hell to pay.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.
Fast forward to today…
