A Rainbow Like You by Andréa Fehsenfeld

A Rainbow Like You is a Contemporary Fiction that I absolutely loved reading. I’m a huge fan of Rock star Romance stories so when I saw the intriguing cover I was sold. This is so far off from being your normal Rock star book. This is so much more. It’s a wonderfully written heart achingly story that is unlike any other. There’s drama, heartache, love, music, loss, struggles, tension and so much more. What a unique experience and emotional journey the main character takes us on. This is a new author to me and I really like their style of writing and attention to detail and the raw emotions you feel from the characters that are fully developed and creative yet relatable at the same time. I literally read in one sitting because I got so invested I couldn’t stop reading. I highly recommend reading this book and recommend having kleenex near by as I teared up a few times. I don’t want to give to much away but I promise it’s worth the read. Im definitely looking forward to reading more from this Author and I’m going to be looking into what other books they have written.

Liz’s Road Trip by Bernadette Marie – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Liz's Road TripLiz’s Road Trip by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a beautifully written story that I just couldn’t put down. I have read other novels from the author and she has written such a heartfelt and uplifting story that just gives you the feels all over. I absolutely loved how well written the characters were, and seeing Liz’s growth and change as she learned about who her grandmother was and the life she lead, was spellbinding. I felt like the characters felt authentic and realistic in how they behaved and reacted to different situations. I absolutely adored Mark and felt he was such a positive presence for Liz as she completed her journey. I also loved her bestie Grace and felt she was absolutely the type of best friend anyone would be lucky to have. I am always a fan of any story that also includes a fun pet and Cosmo definitely fit the bill! If you are in the mood for a story about self-discovery and romance, this is another amazing story by the author.

When I first started this book, I had no idea what I was getting into, however it definitely turned into one of my favorites. I can’t wait to read more from Tam DeRudder Jackson!!!! I want to read the whole Balefire series now. This story leads down some weary roads but it might end somewhere along the best road of living and knowing where Blu’s life might end up. There are some moments in this story that make it seem more real then anything. I love how Tam’s books always makes me feel connected to them.

Mr Lucky (Trentbridge Tales Book 1) by Lee Wood – Review by Julie Johnson

Mr Lucky (Trentbridge Tales #1)Mr Lucky by Lee Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Life has a way of changing very quickly. One moment, everything is on the up and up. Family life is great, job is showing the prospect of a promotion, life if grand. That is, until it isn’t.

Detective James Sheldon was living the life as one might say. His wife and best friend Miriam took their two children to go visit with her parents. Expecting them to show up at any time, James was taken aback when there was a knock on the door and bad news to follow. That bad news put James in a place where he eventually found himself at the bottom of the barrel and living on the streets pandering for spare change.

But again, life has a way of quickly changing. A kind soul persuades James to go buy a lottery ticket. He seriously could have eaten a decent meal with the money but decided to take the advice and bought the ticket instead. Life changed again in just a short amount of time when he checked his numbers and they all matched. He was the lucky recipient of the largest lottery ever, $168 million!!

Now his life is in danger because of a devious man trying to ruin his life. How will James handle his newfound wealth and this lunatic?

This book started out a little rough for me but by the middle of it, it was gaining speed and I ended up really enjoying the story. The beginning had a lot of details that I felt were unnecessary at first but eventually came around to being important. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series!

On a side note, I guess I could say I’m lucky as I was reading this. My kindle shut off just as I read the last word!!

Cruel King by K.M. Scott – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Cruel KingCruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is quite an angsty story that had me wanting to toss my Kindle to the side numerous times out of frustration!

Ava is friends with all of the King boys…except Matthias (which means that’s who she is going to have feelings for, right?!?). She is best friends with Theo (who has feelings for her)…and Matthias treats her like the dirt on his shoe (cruel is the perfect way to describe him). This creates quite the unrequited and messy triangle. Forced proximity between Ava and Matthias allows them to act on their feelings…but it’s like it never happened once they are back in the real world. Both go on to see other people…but will these two ever be able to be truthful with the feelings they have for each other?

This book had me frustrated so many different times. The push and pull between Ava and Matthias is full of angst and I wanted to knock sense into both of them! While the ending allowed some of the frustration to dissipate…I’m excited that there are more brothers that books can be written about!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Protector Wolf Shifter series and it as a great way to continue the story. This book definately follows on from the first book so I do recommend that you read that first to get a complete understanding for this book.
This is a great read filled with action, adventure and danger. I love paranormal romances and the whole fated mates has always been an element that I love. However this story is a little different with the female lead not knowing anything about that side of things. She didn’t even know werewolves and vampires existed but now she does she doesn’t want nothing to do with them. But unfortunately that isn’t her choice any more. Hunted down by vampires and the fated mate to a werewolf she is getting hunted by both sides which is going to cause a war.
Kodiak is the one forming the bond with her and even those his pack refused to accept her he can’t deny or fight what he is feeling. The problem comes when he has to choose between fighting with and protecting his pack or fighting to protect the person he believes his his mate. Can he do both? What if he pack never accepts Tamaska?
This is a great series and from this book it is just going to get better. I can’t wait to read the next one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well this story took me by surprise. I normally do not read Historical stories. But this one caught my eye and thought I would give it a try. I am so happy I did. It was such a well written story that kept me turning the pages until the end. I love that Billie Jean is such a strong independent woman with the courage to fight for her people, family and friends alike. Then there is Fisher Locke who wants to show his parents what he is made of. Two strong attractive people who know what they are feeling is wrong. Two independent people who are fighting for what is right. Who is right, Billie or Fisher? What will happen next for them? Read this story to find out what happens. While this story could be a standalone,I felt it is in my best interest to read the series. This author writes fast paced, page turners with plenty of history. Great Story!!!!!

Cruel KingCruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t too sure what this story was going to be as I went in blindly as the cover drew me in.

Whatever I was expecting this story surpassed it. I will not be giving spoilers so I won’t speak of much that happens that could be seen as such.

Ava is the daughter of an employee of the King family. They live on property and grew up with the King boys. She and Theo are thick as thieves and best friends for life. She’s always gotten along with all of them except the eldest, Matthias . She doesn’t know what she did but he’s rude and ignores her if possible.

During a snowstorm her homes power goes out and makes her way to the main house where she’s now stuck inside with Matthias.

Matthias was hard to read on the outside but in his POV we see the strain of being the oldest brother and the pressure their father puts on him. Ava has been said to be off limits but this snowstorm may change that.

I’m not one to enjoy a jump in time but this one was done well and kept the story from being bogged down with unnecessary details.
I didn’t expect quite a few things this story had and I’m still not over them all.

Russian and Royally Complicated
By: Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson

This is the follow up to Royally Complicated. I truly loved this one. It showed just as much character development as the last one. In it we meet the prince’s best friend Lev and Bridget’s best friend Daphne. Both of which hate one another but find a common bond in being lost after the events that happened between their best friends, the prince and Bridget. This is a fantastic enemies to lovers romance, which just so happens to be my favorite trope. They have fantastic tension and their banter was so much fun to read you could feel their feelings and tension just emanate off the page. This book has the perfect amount of sizzle to it too. I definitely recommend this book. It is such a fun read that I didn’t want to put down!

Deadly Vengeance
By: Anise Storm

This is the second book in the Vaccaro Empire Collection. It can be read as a standalone, but I definitely recommend reading both. This book features Valenzia and Luca. Who have had two very different upbringings. Luca has grown up with a vendetta against his father. He wants to abduct Valenzia and marry her. However, he has no intention actually falling for her. He is simply seeking revenge against the people he holds responsible for ruining his family. When he meets her sparks fly. This is definitely a story about the lines between love and hate. It is filled with suspense and twists and turns. It kept me wanting to read, I wanted to see how their story would end. I truly enjoy reading stories about families that are at odds and this is one of them. Where there is generations of hatred. I definitely recommend this page turner!

Master Campania (Masters of the Consulate Book 7) by Sylvia Black – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Master Campania: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 7)Master Campania: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Campania is not happy that he has witches in his territory, and what is even worse is that they are defectors. When he is tasked with finding them and getting information from them, he can’t help but feel pulled toward one spunky witch in particular. Willow has heard about pure blooded vampires, how dangerous they are, to steer clear and to never trust one. However, as she is forced to help Campania find rogue witches that will in turn lead to rogue vampires, she can’t help but feel like she was lied to. Both have been told witches and vampires should never mix. Yet there is a definite magnetism between the two of them that neither can deny. Or can they? Will they be able to put aside past prejudices and work together to find the rogue witches and vampires?

This was a quick read for me. I have enjoyed reading this series from the beginning, and it was a good addition to the series. I would have liked to have had more story between Campania and Willow. But that is just me wanting to be immersed in their world a little bit longer. It seems like there will be one more book to wrap up the series. I am looking forward to seeing who has taken up the mantle of dissent. There are so many characters in this world that I would suggest reading them in order.

Complicated ChoicesComplicated Choices by Risa Nyman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I’m so glad I did! This is a standalone novel.

Claire has the weight of the world on her shoulders. It’s her senior year and she’s got a lot of decisions to make. One thing she shouldn’t have to do is take care of her baby brother. She also shouldn’t be worrying about her mother and taking care of the house. She should be having fun with her friends and living up senior year. When he uncle gets involved, it seems like the problems will be solved. However, he places a pretty steep condition on his assistance. Put Harry up for adoption. Claire is not about to let her family be torn apart so while it seems like everything is in despair, Claire gears up for a fight with the help of some friends. What lengths would you go to to keep your family together?

This book was tough to read in the sense that you just know so many kids and teens are faced with the same or worse issues. It was very engaging. I was very impressed with Claire’s growth. At the beginning, she didn’t seem to care too much about her brother or having to take care of him. While she still resented being his sole caretaker, she definitely bonded and attached to him by the end of the book. The characters were well written as were the dynamics between everyone. I definitely suggest this book!

Royally Complicated is the first book in The Crowned Hearts Series and is a Contemporary Romance /Forbidden Love/ Opposites Attract that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. Holy Cow this book takes steamy hot sex on a beach to a whole new level. There’s plenty of drama, secret identities and plenty of steamy sex and their chemistry is off the charts. This is Fyn and Bridget’s story. She’s on what should have been her honeymoon but she caught her fiancé cheating. A nice fling while on holiday is just what she needs.

This is a pretty neat book for coping with anxiety and worries, not only for children but for adults as well. The author has come up with such a clever and simple story that we cannot help being in awe with it. Lily forgets her best pal, Hun Bun, her stuffed bunny, at home. Hun bun has always been with her and helps her get through any anxiety or stress. On the day Hun Bun is not there, Lily gets anxious. Her heart beats faster and her belly does flip flops. She goes to the school nurse who teaches her breathing exercises. She also teaches Lily to ask herself the reason for her anxiety.

It is a meaningful book with colorful illustrations. We all will gain something reading this book.

It is a beautiful story about a family which has a lot of stray cats coming to their door step. It is about how they educate themselves about the TNR program and how it comes useful to them. With beautiful illustrations and lot of information, this book acts like a guide to any pet lover. I highly recommend this book.

Marked Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 2)Marked Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Two of the Protector Wolf Shifter Series started right up where book one left off. Tamasca is ticked at Kodiak. Both of them want to track down the Blood Opal from the vampires. Both are attracted to each other. Better yet, they seem to be drawn to each other but Tamasca is struggling to understand what Kodiak has unveiled about his true self.

One is human. One is a wolf shifter.

Tamasca’s struggle often felt like a tug of war between her mind versus her heart throughout book two. I love how the struggle and internal conflict was written in book two.

If you haven’t read book one, you might want to do that before finishing up this one so you fully understand the context behind the powerful attraction between the main characters, the hurt Tamasca experienced upon learning of her bff’s fate in book one and then the bombshell reveal from Kodiak after a strange but unexpectedly hot experience between the two. This book delves deeper into the chaos, passion, mystery and excitement that makes this book even better than the first.

I’m definitely a fan of the way the author has created this mysterious plot and the personable characters. I look forward to reading book three to see if it is full of supernatural intrigue, mystery, action, and lots of drama.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

This was definitely a book I couldn’t put down until the final page. The author has created a magical world where mythical creatures still exist and Atlantis is real. I thought she did a great job of really drawing you into the story and building scenes that you could really visualize. If you love a modern paranormal romance, this is an excellent start!

Cruel King by K.M. Scott – Review by Jessica Stone

What a wonderful read!
This book is the quintessential, boys older brother falls in love with younger brothers best friend, things go utterly wrong, until they finally go wonderfully right.

Theo, is utterly besotted with his best friend, Ava, who has lived on the property his family owns all his life and they were practically inseparable, but predictably, Ava like many a young women, is clueless to Theo’s feelings. Ava loves Theo, he’s always been there for her, through the loss of her mother and her through the loss of his, they are closer to close, so it only makes sense that they should be together, right? Wrong. Ave has the HOTS for Mathias the brooding older brother set to be the heir yo the King kingdom, if only he’d stop treating Ava like the mud under his shoes, everything would be fine. Or, maybe it won’t.

Me over her not trying to spoil the whole book. Anywayyysss, I love Ava, I love her direct ness, she’s sassy yet sensitive, and she cares deeply about the people she loves. Matthias on the other hand make me want to punch a wall, he’s so quick to act and say things he doesn’t mean, and not quick at all to apologize. Even though that irritates me like no other, the soft, artistic sweet loving guy he is under his quick angry, is redeeming enough for me to get over his stubbornness.

I quite enjoy how deeply the author dives into the emotions and thoughts of her characters, it helps you fall in love with them, feel what they are feeling. I haven’t looked to much into it, but I would throughly enjoy diving into the king family some more, seeing all the brothers lives outside of the king manor would be très interesting.

So if you’re not sure about this book, take the plunge, it’s worth it, I believe you will fall in love with the characters as I have.

I Am An Outer Space Alien (I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Kristan Anderson

I Am An Outer Space Alien (I am an Alien)I Am An Outer Space Alien by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I Am An Outer Space Alien by Lois Wickstrom is about how Shirley doesn’t believe she is from this planet and how she is different from others. We normally love all books by this author but this one missed the mark with my little. Granted, it seems as though my daughter was too young (she’s three) but we love all their other books with a twist. The illustrations were nice and seemed to catch the attention of my girl. Overall, the story was okay, seemed to be about not fitting in or feeling like you don’t. I didn’t quitel get it though but maybe my imagination was off today. The story is quick and you can definitely “find” a lesson to it. But it wasn’t a favorite of mine. My girl was like what’s an alien? Haha it made for a fun discussion but she wasn’t a true fan of the book.
