This was a fabulous book! Having been homeless myself, the storyline really resonated with me. The protagonist and the antagonist had actually crossed paths several times. The theme of irony is prevalent throughout the story. I made it to the very end of the book before realizing I had read the first in a series of what I am sure are several more amazing tales, I am elated- and I know what I am reading next!

LIz’s Road Trip was a fun, unpredictable, and thought-provoking read. Having just lost my grandparents in the past two years, it was a refreshing and cathartic read for me. I connected with the main character, LIz, and laughed along with her along the way, because even when life gets you down, laughter can be the best medicine.
I really appreciated the depthness of the characters and the characters aren’t static but grow from the beginning to end. The story between Mark and Liz grows and unfolds slowly, but liked the format of the book (made it more mysterious) and Liz tries to discover another side of her grandma she never knew.

Typical Italian Scala (“eating in a hurry without time to enjoy is a waste of time. Hopefully, the detectives stomach would also agree”) is back again, this time unraveling an intermingled web of families with drama and interconnections. As with the other Commissario Scala books, I really enjoyed the realistic crime scenes and aftermath that author PJ Mann sets up.
Comical relief between Scala and his colleagues lighten up some of the more intense moments in the book. I have truly enjoyed this series so far, and can’t wait to read the next one.

Mann – Review by Jennifer Crain
I’ll start off by saying that I was not aware that this was a book deep in a series when I picked it up. This can be read as a stand alone but for me, I’m going to go back and read the previous books to understand more of the back story.
This book is full of emotion…some that came to me a bit unexpected. There is also, as with any book with a political figure, lots of lies, secrets, grief and more. I appreciated that this was a clean romance novel with a sweet story of two people who are broken and needing each other.
I look forward to reading the previous books in this series and “catching up” on the characters!

Tequila Midnight: A Jessica Watts Southwest Suspense Novel is the first book in this series. Set in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, we get into the life of Jessica Watts. This is a gritty story of a stubborn woman trying to find a Mexican tycoon’s missing daughter. Jessica has lived a tough life and does not trust easily. I liked this story which had suspense, crime, and more. The characters and setting are realistic and put you right into the story. I liked that this explored how someone handles trauma and uses their experience to help themself find new and different pathways. Jessica is a relatable character which makes her story more interesting. Because she is relatable, it pulled me further into the story, and I wanted to know what would happen. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in this series.
Vampires of Atlantis is a fun, interesting, paranormal read. Courtney Davis combines folklore and myths surrounding Atlantis with vampires, monsters, werewolves, humans, and other paranormal beings in this original story. While the idea of the story is very intriguing and the book itself is easy to read, I felt like some pieces were missing. The characters were one-of-a-kind, but it seemed like they didn’t have much of a backstory and seemed rather shallow. I did enjoy Courtney Davis’s world building and felt myself transported to the underwater world of Atlantis or the steamy streets of Miami. The end of the book did feel a bit rushed and it almost felt as if things were left up in the air. Overall, a good, quick read with lots of drama and suspense.

This was a fun read for an 80’s kid! Brought back so many memories! The story is a cute rom com. Blaine and Eric find themselves in a situation that pits them against each other. I really liked how Blaine problem solved her way to saving her 80’s novelty shop from Eric’s deconstruction plan. Taking him on a trip back in time not only piqued his interest in her story and her, but it brought back so many memories for me! The 80’s were a great time! I recommend this if you are looking for a sweet story that has great voice and good pacing with the romance, humor and fun throughout!

Reichert and Kerrie Flanagan – Review by Tanya Wall, August 2023
I LOVED this story. I do not think there is enough of a word to describe how much I loved Mona and her journey. Mona believes in the healing power of gardens. She has gone so far as to dedicate a portion of her land as a therapeutic place for young people who have suffered through traumatic events to go and seek healing. This has been a passion project of hers and she has gained the traction to see her vision to come to life. This piece of Mona alone made her, quite possibly one of my favorite characters I have ever read. Kit is Mona’s business partner and he is also very charming. I loved that he shares her vision and passion of the garden. However, when a third person, Holly, enters the mix things become very different. This is my first book by Jennifer Raines and I cannot say enough about her ability to develop characters and write stories that people want to read. This story was filled with complex, well developed characters and a plot that kept the story moving at a good pace. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun read!

When Eric’s company is set to tear down the mall that Blaine’s store, Back to the 80s, is set in, they make a bet. If she can convince him of her store’s worth, she will get to keep it, and the mall by default. Opinion Perfect for the title, this book follows the basic 80s movie plot with the over the top apology at the end. I loved it. Parts of it were cheesy but that is something I would expect out of the 80s. This book was a great read. I would love to read the story through Loraine’s eyes and see her relationship with the karate master.

This is the seventh book in the Nashville Assassins Series, however, it can definitely be read as a standalone. I have read some, but not all of the series and am definitely going to go back and read the ones I have missed after reading this one. I forgot how much I enjoy this series. This book features Dimitri who is a very talented hockey player. He just wants to play hockey for his dad’s team, the Nashville Assassins. He is in Nashville and ready to accomplish that goal. He lived his life in Russia but definitely kept his eye on the prize. Austen is ready to lead the Assassins minor league farm team. However she ends up crossing paths with Dimitri. Dimitri and Austen are very well written characters. They both have a good banter about them and this also was a well written, almost forbidden potential tryst. I loved their banter and the fact that Dimitri believed that their crossing and meeting was fate. I do love this series and the hockey team aspect is something I have truly enjoyed in this series. I definitely recommend this for a good sports romance that is fun to read!

This is a collection of first in series romance books by various authors. Each author included in this anthology is talented and has created their own unique story for our enjoyment. Most, if not all the characters contained within, are well constructed and lovable; each with their own issues and challenges to face for love.
I’ve chosen a small number of books to review to provide a snippet of what to expect:
Unexpected Heros:
I first discovered books by the same author through another anthology so was happy to see their name on the list again. Unexpected Heros is well-written and contains some of my favourite characters Jude and Elijah. The pair both struggle with their pasts but slowly come together processing from friendship into something more. I think it was sweet for Elija’s son to be a key factor in this and seeing Jude be protective of not just Elijah, but also his son.
I couldn’t help but get emotionally invested and will once again look for more from the author.
Quin to the Rescue:
This is another sweet romance. Short and sweet, this was the perfect one to take with me to work. The writing flowed well, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with Quin and Mira There are certainly issues that the characters need to work through, but following alongside is a great journey and would happily seek out more from this author in future.
Just Another Hallmark Fool:
I admit I do enjoy a good cheesy Hallmark film, so was prepared to get defensive from the title, but there was no need, the title iss brilliant. This was a fun read following newly single Kate and Sawyer. I loved Kate as a character she reminds me of a friend of mine in some ways and that has endeared her to me. I also loved strong but soft Sawyer and his whole thing he has going on. The characters are well-written, and the plot has a bit of everything, romance, suspense etc. Just the type of story for me.
What I love best about an anthology like this it gives people the chance to dip their toes into new genres/type before fully committing. Even for people like me who already know what they like, it’s good to discover new authors and potential sub-genres.
This was a fun and enjoyable collection overall and will be keeping an eye out for more.

PJ Mann is a new author to me having never read any of the previous books in this series. My genre of choice is mystery or thriller so after reading the synopsis of Leaving No Traces I was eager to see if this was a series I could find myself getting into after. I really did like this book, I felt that it really hit the ground running from the very beginning with twisty unraveling until the end. I like that the book itself wasn’t too long, about 200 pages start to finish with a sneak peek of what is to come.

Mann – Review by Felicia Bates
An enjoyable and entertaining collection of romance stories each one written by a different author. This anthology contains a selection of stories by thirteen different authors, and each one is the first book of a series. Meaning it’s a great way of checking out different authors writing styles and getting started with some engaging new series. Each story is about how the everyday hero can sweep you off your feet and provide a happy ever after, just as much as any knight in shining armour can! Most of the stories were written by authors I was not familiar with, so I’m pleased to have discovered some new favourites. However, I was excited to find that Naomi Valkyrie had written one of the romances as I always enjoy her books. ‘Unexpected Heroes’ is a M/M Romance which introduces us to Elijah and Jude, who meet when Elijah and his baby son move in next door to Jude. Jude helps out with the crying baby one night and a friendship develops between the men, and despite both of them having troubled pasts they can’t deny their chemistry or their instant connection. The chemistry sizzled off the page between the likeable Jude and Elijah and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. I thoroughly enjoyed every story in this romance collection, and I liked that there are a variety of storylines, so definitely something for every reader.

Tequila Midnight follows the journey of Jessica Watts, a real estate agent that deals in cross-border relations. The picturesque writing really sets the tone for the vastly dry desert that is El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Riddles with a dark past, Jessica takes on a job to locate Doraliz Velasco, the missing daughter of one of Mexico’s richest tycoons. The case takes Watts all over the world, from Harvard campus to Belize, and back to Mexico. The journey comes at quite a price, as she is captured, beaten and drugged. While Jessica is pursuing the lost girl, she is also facing her own past demons. The only comfort she can find is at the bottom of tequila bottles and in the beds of strangers. The main character is a train wreck from the start, even before being commissioned on an impossible journey. Will she find the missing girl, and herself along the way? Will she find the answers she is looking for? Will she ever soften her heart and find love? I absolutely was drawn into this book and the constant swirl of drama and excitement over and over again. I am looking forward to reading the next one!
The Secrets they Hide is book two in the five book Commissario Scala Mystery set. I have only read book four in this set so far, so these books can be read as standalone or out of order. Reading them in order will most likely help with understanding character development, and I do recommend reading them all. A young man is found dead in a cemetery with a note that talks about secrets and hints that their may be other victims. Now Detective Scala must find out who this mystery killer is before any other bodies show up. As a no-nonsense detective, Scala is invested in making sure this murderer is found and brought to justice. What is the murderer after and why did he kill this man? Are the other murders linked to this one, and if so what is the connection? The Secrets they Hide is full of mystery, drama, suspense and plot twists. The author has a knack for setting the scene with very descriptive and vivid wording, and the character building is spot on. I am becoming more and more intrigued with the Scala mysteries and intend to read the rest of the series.

Mann – Review by Amanda Swindle
This is an intriguing story that captured my attention right from the start. I loved how this story built on itself the more it went on, developing the storyline and the characters. The author built the suspense, throwing in twists and turns to keep you as the reader on your toes. I enjoyed learning about the characters. They were engaging and I connected with them easily. This is a new author to me and if this is the quality of work to expect then I will certainly be checking out more of her work.
This is a fantastic collection of romance stories and I enjoyed each and every one of them for entirely different reasons. I chose to read this book for Naomi Valkyrie. She is author that I have become a huge fan of over the last couple of years so when I saw her name on this collection, I had to get it. But each book in the collection is fantastic in its own right. I read a new story every couple of days and I loved the fact that they were all so different and stood out from each other. I have grown to love anthologies as they offer an insight into so many authors. I have discovered so many new books to read through anthologies and this one is no exception. My TBR list has grown exponentially and I cannot wait to start discovering them.

Holly Cooper loves being a nurse, but when she witnesses a murder during a shift in the ER she needs to find herself again. With childhood fears fast on her heels she’s following music festivals around Australia working and volunteering.
Kit Silverton is one piece of a research project about gardening as therapy. The project is working with children who have survived domestic violence. As a survivor himself, Kit has a lot of pain and guilt and he struggles to form and keep relationships.
When Kit’s partner in the project, and Holly’s grandmother, is injured, Holly is suggested as a replacement. She’s qualified, but Kit is finding it hard to believe with her pink hair and free spirit.
While working together, Holly and Kit can’t help but fall together, so when something goes wrong Kit is confronted by his worst fear: the violence inside himself. What will it take to prove he’s wrong?
This was a sweet, emotional read. I loved almost every step of the way, as it started out a bit slower than I anticipated.
I love the dynamic between Kit and Holly and Mona. The love and determination they have to help the children is evident in all the moves they make.
I think the only thing I’d love more is pictures of the gardens they’ve created!

This was a great thriller read with lots of plot twists! I was not expecting all the twists and turns in this story. Detective Scala has to use his instincts to solve these murders. I did not realize this was the second book in this series until after I had already started the book and I will say it was not needed to read the first. I am sure you miss some character background so I will be reading the first one. I enjoyed the writing style and this book made for a quick read since I was anxious to know what happened next. Detective Scala has so much compassion for his victims that I feel it makes him a better detective. There were plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep me wanting more. I am excited to read the rest of the books in the series with Detective Scala. If you are looking for a good mystery/thriller then I definitely recommend picking up this series!

This was a gripping story that had me turning pages so fast. The author immediately draws you into the story and the action starts from the page. The main character Jessica is a strong determined woman but she is also hurting and carrying a lot of pain around from her childhood which she hides by drinking too much Tequila and one night stands. My heart went out to her but also to her best friend Angus who tries so hard to help her save herself and stop her destructive ways. As someone who has watched a loved one drown in drink it is part of the story I can’t relate to.
Jessica is a Real Estate agent. She is used to crossing the borders and securing deals. So when she is offered a job of finding the missing daughter of a rich Mexican she thinks it will be an easy job with great payment. As she starts to investigate she realises she knows nothing at all about this type of things and her investigating brings her to the attention of some very dangerous people. Can she find the missing girl? Will she pay for her searching with her life? Add to this the constant battle she has already going on inside herself with demons from the past and this is because a fast paced story where Jessica doesn’t know who she can trust, and who is spinning her lies.
I loved this story and I couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. Jessica is an amazing character, I loved how strong and resilient she is, how determined she is to make things work and see things through no matter the cost. The author does an amazing job of showing the audience the internal struggle that Jessica goes through as she starts to fight and overcome her demons from her past.
Back to the 80s is a delightful rom-com that transported me to an era I love. If you’ve lived through the 80s, this book will resonate with you and evoke a sense of nostalgia for the fashion, music, toys, and everything that defined that era. The story revolves around an enemies-to-lovers romance, but what sets it apart is its refreshing and laid-back approach compared to typical books of this genre. The chemistry between the main characters is palpable, and I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing their relationship evolve throughout the book. Right from the start, I was captivated by the plot and loved Blaine and the other shop owners. The characters were well-crafted, relatable, and oozed creativity, immersing me deeply in their journey. Blaine’s ownership of the quirky “Back to the 80s” novelty shop, passed down from her late mother, adds an endearing touch to the story. Meanwhile, Eric, a developer connected to his family’s construction company, threatens her shop’s existence as he plans to develop the mall where Blaine’s store stands. The author beautifully blends humor into the narrative, with some lines genuinely making me laugh. In contrast, others brought on a cheesy smile and eye roll—just the perfect ingredients for a rom-com experience. This book was an entertaining summer read, and I recommend it to fellow rom-com enthusiasts who enjoy 80s nostalgia.

As always Lois Wickstrom NEVER disappoints!! I lovedddddd this one because it had a small jack and the beanstalk feel. But it wasn’t Jack and the beanstalk AT ALL. It portrayed how kids are a bit greedy nowadays days. But it also showed how clever children are. The illustrations were great! Very colorful! Oh and did I mention the book was funny?!

While I don’t usually go for these types of books, I took a chance. I had not read a poetry book in over a literal decade; probably closer to two. But this brilliant book jumped out at me, and I have to say, I was absolutely not let down in the slightest. It absolutely beat any kind of expectations that I had. This book of poetry is astonishing with how it combines so many things, with rhythm and rhyme, and so full of emotions. I highly suggest taking some time to sit, breathe, and read this.

This is the second book in the Green St. Girls Series. Indigo is a strong and capable woman in her career but not so much in her relationships. Her friend’s dying wish for her is to live a life not just work. Gideon is one of her best friend’s brothers as well as her roommate. When she starts getting threats Gideon tries to keep her safe. This book is full of exciting twists. There is just so much in this book. So many emotions and so much heartbreak from the past.

(Green St. Girls Series) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Michelle Collier
I found this book to be an interesting story to read. This is not my first book by this author but it is one I enjoyed the most. I enjoyed how the author used details to give the story a realistic feel, as if you are part of the story. This is a story about Ian and his quest to save the Descendants of Atlantis from a monster and his queen. But what will happen when he saves a woman from death? What will happen when she finds out what he really is? I really enjoyed both of these characters. They bring life to the story and make it easy to read. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as the plot’s growth throughout the story. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. This is a great story and I highly recommend it.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for him. I enjoyed how the author used details to make the story come to life on each page. The characters pull you into their world with ease and keep you there until the end. They have great growth and made the story easy to read. I found this book well written and hard to put down. A story where one day you have everything in life and the next you are out on the streets. He now finds himself in a world of crime bosses, drug dealers and just trying to survive. I enjoyed Detective Sheldon’s character. He is strong and determined. I had to feel for him in some cases. His twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a great suspense story that I highly recommend.

This book is a standalone coming of age story. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author but it did not disappoint.
Pyper has all the answers. Just ask her. She is a very positive, happy girl. However, the prospect of prom does not make Pyper very happy. In fact, the girl with all the answers knows prom needs to be cancelled. Through the story, Pyper learns more about herself and starts to realize, maybe she doesn’t have all the answers after all. How does senior year turn out for Pyper and her friends? Find out!
This was a very well written story. The character growth and development was on point. Pyper is a relatable character. I’m sure any one of us could relate to Pyper at one point or another. So glad I gave this book a chance!

(Green St. Girls Series) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Anastasia Dodson
Dimitri is descended from Assassins history with his father playing for them, now Dimitri wants to join the iconic team which means moving the family from Russian back to the United States. All though he loves his family when it is suggested he stay within the players apartments he jumps at the chance to relax on his own and think about hockey.
Austen has been sent by her grandfather to shadow the GM Shellie at the Assassins so she can gain the knowledge and confidence to run the farm team her grandfather has just purchased. Austen is really enjoying her first day when a conversation between her and Shellie has the GM offering her a place in the Players Apartments save going back and forwards while she is shadowing. Austen is thrilled and once settled into the apartment, although one night when a stranger breaks in and she attacks him and his xbox the realisation that the apartment has been doubled booked starts to make sense.
As the story goes on Austen and Dimitri start to have a flow of living together and thus there relationship grows move and they start having feelings for each other. Can Austen overcome her past and can Dimitri prove he is worth his spot in the team.
I loved this story and although I have read some of the series but not all it can also be read as a stand alone book. I loved the interaction of the two main characters and the differences in there backgrounds added a depth to both characters. Austen’s character was heart breaking to read about her background and history but the way the soft side of Dimitri came over was lovely to read and be a part of.
The story is well written and flows beautifully through the ups and downs of these two brilliant characters, the chemistry which jumps off the page enhances the story and drives you along to read what will happen next. I can wait to go back and read some of the stories I have missed and look forward to the next book in the series.
