The Anchor Knot was a great read for me. It was definitely a page turner for me. I had trouble to putting the book down, it was THAT good. I would love to check out other books written by this author because I loved her writing style. The details was on point. The characters and world building was on point.

I was so excited to read this book after reading the first book in the series and it did not disappoint at all. I absolutely loved Lev and Daphne! They really were two of the best characters I have read about in a long time. They hated each other but that hate led to the most electric passion ever! The chemistry between them literally oozed off the pages! Because we had already met the characters in the first book I felt like their story was able to start with a bang and that it did! I loved the first book in this series but I have to admit I think this one has knocked it off the top spot! I was completely riveted form beginning to end – an absolutely fantastic read and one that I highly recommend!

I loved this book so much! I absolutely adore these authors and I was glued to this book from beginning to end. A wonderful writing duo that you have absolutely no idea who writes which parts because they complement each other’s writing styles so much. I loved Bridget – she was such a great character to read about and Prince Fynix was one of those characters you fall in love with instantly. I adore stories like this one when a royal falls in love with a normal down to earth person – definitely movie material this book! I loved all the twists and turns in the story and I was rooting for these two the whole way through the book! Fantastic book and I can’t wait for the next one!

I enjoyed this book, I thought that it was a really good read and I find it easy to read. The characters were easy to engage with and I can imagine many young adult readers would really enjoy it. There was a lot going on for our main character, Mina. She was the target of many bullies during her younger years and I really did feel for her, school can be an awful time for some people. I liked Wes, I didn’t think I would but he surprised me. I loved the story was written by two authors and you had no idea! Their writing styles matched each other perfectly. Overall this was a really enjoyed able read and one I would definitely recommend. I will be looking forward to reading more from these authors in the future.

This is a captivating, gripping, dark Mafia Romance. As you would expect it is filled with danger, secrets, lies, enemies and death which is always alive in the Mafia world as well as protective, possessive men and the underlining thing that you do what it takes to protect your family.
This is the second book in The Vaccaro Empire series and wow what a read. In this story we follow Luca and Valenzia.
Luca was raised away from the Mafia world and the rivalry between the Valenzia’s family and his. When he discovers that his father and the rest of his family were wipes out by the Vaccaro’s (mainly Valenzia’s father) Luca decides he will get his revenge. His plan is to take the eldest daughter of the Vaccaro family, make her his wife and for her to produce an heir to his family. All while her family watches on. Luca thinks his plan is solid and knows once he gets what he wants he will destroy the Vaccaro family like they destroyed his. What he didn’t expect was to actually be attracted to and to fall for his captive.
Valenzia is a strong women but lived a very sheltered life. However when she finds herself in the grasp of Luca she resists him at every turn until he starts threatening her siblings. She knows she must do what’s necessary to protect her family even if it means giving up her life. What she doesn’t expect is for there to be an explosive chemistry between them. Could it be something more or is it just pure hatred that is driving this chemistry. What will Luca do when he realises that he is falling for Valenzia? If they succeed will their relationship survive? And what will happen between the families if the join together? Will they still be enemy’s who won’t stop until the other is dead or will their partnership but exactly what is needed to repair the damage between the families. What happens when the vengeance you wanted and planned for isn’t the most important thing to you but the love of the enemies daughter is?
I loved the characters of Luca and Valenzia. My heart went out to Luca after everything he went through but also to Valenzia as she uncovered secrets in her families past she never knew existed. Luca and Valenzia both have a passionate fire inside them but together they seem to soothe each other. I loved their chemistry and spark. It really jumped off the page.

This book is the second book in the series ans is a great follow up to the first. This is a fun, entertaining rockstar Romance that I enjoyed reading. I thought the characters develop was.great. I loved watching their relationship develop and I also loved watching their interactions with other characters, especially Blu’s mum. This author is firmly cementing herself as one that I will.happily read. Each of her books are so different and yet I have enjoyed everyone I have read. This was a great book and I look forward to more from this series.

This book is slightly unusual for this author. It is longer and aimed at an older age range. However, in this author typical style, it is well written, topical, educational but engaging. It touches on a sensitive and yet highly relevant topic, teaching children about it in a sensitive yet informative way. I love the way this author doesn’t seem scared or put off by any topic. Her books are a fantastic way to broach difficult subject matters and kick start conversations. Our whole family enjoy her books and we have yet to read one only once. This is another great book to add to her collection.

In this third book from the Protector Wolf Shifter series you’ll continue to follow Tamaska and her journey into shifting. I recommend reading from the beginning book as these aren’t stand alone books. It is a paranormal love story. It has action and mystery and stubbornness. It is an easy read and allows you vivid imagery.

Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants is a few steps up from the normal Lois Wickstrom books. Still a children’s book but an older child. I believe children in fifth grade to seventh would love this story, maybe even earlier than fifth grade if they like chapter books. It has all the science and imagination you see in all her books. It is a wonderful tale co-written between Milagros Darling and Lois Wickstrom. They do an excellent job of telling the story easy and not getting you lost in the magic or science of it.

This author is one of just a few where all I have to do is see the name on the book and I know I have to read it. This book absolutely delivered with every page turned! I was hooked from the start and held captive by fabulous writing that made you truly see everything the author was writing about. I highly recommend reading in order to enhance your experience. I don’t want to give too much away concerning the storyline, you really need to discover it for yourself, but I will say Ian and Jarryd are back and if you love a bit of adventure and magic with some danger thrown in then this is the book, no series for you! I promise you will be as hooked as I am. I can’t wait for more!

I LOVE this series and the fantastic characters brought to life by this talented author. They weave their way straight into your heart and stay there long after you’ve read the last word. I really loved Teddy and Summer. They are such fun characters. They have been friends for years and even though they had feelings for each other neither one was brave enough to tell the other. Life took them in different directions but now they are both back in Bluestone and they can’t fight their attraction and longer. This book can absolutely be read as a stand alone but why do that and miss out on all the other amazing books in this series!! Grab them all and get bingeing! You won’t regret even a second of it.

WONDERFUL!!! This book is full of detail and it will take you through so much in Russel’s life. While this story is geared towards kids, I (being almost 50) was drawn in and captivated by the details and the adventures. What a wonderful way to spend time with your Grandfather. Wonderful book that will hopefully be enjoyed by many!

What a cute book!! I got this for my 10 almost 11 year old, but as I read it I really enjoyed it myself! I was captivated by each horse/pony! What little/big girl doesn’t love horses?! Poor Russell’s’ life is been all downs lately in life’s’ crazy ups and downs. He’s not been doing well at school (about failing!), his over the top storytelling grandfather moved in and took his room (plus he has to care for him after school!), he was basically banished to the basement (yelling up and down stairs all the time. ugh!), and he can’t seem to do anything right (dad’s drinking isn’t helping!). Pre-teen life at it’s finest! He has big dreams of being a firefighter like his uncle, but he really isn’t courageous/brave enough. He can’t stand up to school bullies, his grandpa keeps making him go to the park for a baby ride (the carousel), and everyone seems to yell at him for everything. Life sucks. One day after fighting with his grandfather (about that stupid baby carousel), he rides the carousel with him and they’re magically sent for a ride!! Shot back into the past where they face a life and death experience, has Russell looking at his grandfather’s “crazy” stories closer. Has he really lived all these stories? Different lives almost? Each time he rides a horse, he is brought into that horses’ world and he gets to experience their life for a short song. Each ride has it’s own obstacles and adventures though, and when Russell looses the magic brass ring (his grandfather gave him) he could be stuck forever!! Can he make it back? Will he learn all the secrets to the ring and the horses? What about the lead horse? Will he find it?? There are so many questions you will find yourself asking throughout this book (I suggest you ask your kids what they think while you read together for more interaction!), but it is so wonderful! I really enjoyed “getting to know” each of the different horses on the carousel and so did my daughter. I can’t wait to read more from this author!!

This small town historic romance book has some pretty hard issues within its pages. Billie is fighting for her rights and equality! And she’s also falling for someone, that others don’t agree with. This book sucked me right in because of the angst, the drama and the story alone! I really enjoyed the characters and I wish the book was a bit longer so I could read more about them. I always get sad when a book ends. Super fast paced book!

Amaleigha Makes A New Friend is a cute addition to the Amaleigha series by Janice Pratt. I absolutely love the beautiful illustrations in this sweet children’s story, they really help to bring the whole story to life. The story is sweet, interesting, educational, and has meaningful messages about friendship, helpfulness, compassion, and making a difference. The author sprinkled in a little drama and angst too, which gives the story an added element of interest. Amaleigha’s third grade class learns a lot about the Ukraine when her teacher assigns their class a pen pal program. The class will be exchanging letters with student in the Ukraine, and Amaleigha’s pen pal is Vova, a nine-year-old boy. Through exchanging letters back and forth with Vova, Amaleigha learns about him, his family, and life in the Ukraine. With war on his doorstep, Amaleigh worries for her friend. Things seem quite dire. She and her classmates all want to help and decide on a class fundraising activity to try to make a small difference. And so, a sweet story is born. As with Amaleigha’s other stories, this book also promotes the idea that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. The messages are inspirational and easy for children to understand. Happy reading!

I gotta say I had fun reading this book. The chemistry between Ashleigh and Blu had me holding my sides when I was laughing. They were fun with each other and Ashleigh challenged Blu to be better and the shenanigans that Blu did to try and wear Ashleigh own had me in stitches. Both are really sweet characters and there were some moments where I wanted to beat them over their heads, but overall I really did like the characters. I love when author’s do the dual POV’s because its great getting an inside look of how the character’s thinking works. Out of all the characters in Sing For me, Blu’s mom was my absolute favorite. She was caring, wholesome and definitely made sure that Blu stayed grounded and didnt let him get away with things just because he was a big rockstar now. She seriously need her own book! I can’t wait to read about the other band members books, and for sure will be adding this author to my bookshelf so I can read her books over and over again!

This anthology is broken up by spice level which is unique!
The first story I read was Unexpected Heroes by Naomi Valkyrie. I was immersed into this story quickly and found myself relating to the characters for different things throughout. Elijah is a single dad who has moved to a new town to start over with his infant son. His new neighbor catches him at a weak moment and he inserts himself pretty quickly into helping. With a love interest and some mystery this was a great quick read.
Another book in this collection was Into the Flames by Dawn Luedecke. A firefighter and a photojournalist spent one night together and both never forgot it. Now Sadie is back and Dalton won’t let her go. With Sadie risking her life for animals and Dalton risking his for Sadie will they fan the flames between them?
Fallen Honor by Pandora Snow was another story that stood out to me. This one had me hooked! An ex marine, mystery and heat! I really wanted this not to end. I wanted to know more.

This was a fantastic story and I just loved the overall feeling of magic, family, imagination and life lessons. The story is geared from ages 9-12 but truly this story can be enjoyed for the young and the young at heart (like me). I am already eagerly waiting for more in The Brass Ring series. Highly recommend read and just overall wonderful story.
Russell is trying to survive 5th grade so he can make it to middle school. With his grandfather living with the family, an unruly bully on his heels and some family drama….all Russell wants is to grown up and become a firefighter. When a daily outing with his grandfather to the local carousel takes Russell and his grandfather on a magical journey, Russell learns new challenges may make or break from him wanting to become the firefighter he wants one day.
As each journey on the Magic Carousel embarks on just a new adventure for Russell, he will learn not only to be brave when he thinks he cannot but to also make his grandfather happy.
Magical wonderful story……..I cannot wait to see where the Magic Carousel takes me next.

Small – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
I enjoyed this book. I think it deals with a very important topic and will benefit kids as they learn that people who live in another country are not that different from them. The story was really good and had a good flow. This would be a good story for any child in grade school as they will relate to the characters and the story. I recommend this book and this author if you have a child who loves to read and learn about new places.

What a fantastic read! Amaleigha’s 3rd grade class gets pen pals from Ukraine. It’s in these letters that they get to learn about each other’s cultures, countries, families, and everyday life. As they keep writing, they get to ask questions and learn more and more about their new friends. Everything was going amazingly until the Ukraine students wrote and told Amaleigha and her classmates about the possible war they were facing with Russia and how scared they were. This proceeded to open up all the fear the students had for their friends while also giving them the incentive and chance to learn more about different types of unrest in the world.
Janice Pratt has written a very thought provoking book about differences between individuals and the struggles they endure. She really handled the war in such a sensitive manner that allows you to ease into learning more about the world around you and how everything can and usually does affect everyone else in some way. I also really enjoyed the colorful illustrations and was pleasantly surprised to learn that they were drawn by a Ukrainian artist, Alina Kralia, who has had to relocate because of the unrest in Ukraine.

I know this was aimed at an audience way younger than me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Both of my kids (ages 7 and 11) absolutely adored this book, and it really started some good conversation in our family as well. This author is new to me, so I was pleased to find that they wrote a captivating tale of time-travel and family. We are eagerly looking forward to the second book in this series because we couldn’t get enough! I highly recommend picking this heart-felt, adventurous tale and sharing it with the kids (or just young-at-heart) in your life!

Small – Review by Shannen Kern
This book has beautiful illustrations and a fun rhyming read along for the young ones in your life. My youngest kiddo is 7 so he’s a little bit older for the counting part, but he still loved the pictures and the facts about starfish. Both of my kids thought the singalong was FANTASTIC! We had never seen that before, so it made it interesting and so much fun. This would be absolutely perfect for school and it’s definitely one we won’t soon forget. I highly recommend picking this up and having a blast with the kids!

Master Campania is searching for witches and some traitors who have set up resistance in his territory. This book kept my attention throughout and I had to keep reading. The author did a great job of world and character building. Enjoyed reading about the budding attraction between Willow and Master Campania. I would recommend any book by this author and this series in particular is my favorite. I hope you like it too.

Wow what a magical and phenomenal read! It’s for a younger audience but my goodness, I’m so glad I decided to read this. Fantastic characters and it sincerely captured my heart. It was such a magical adventure that I never wanted it to end. If you want a book full of adventure, magic, challenges, emotion, bravery and courage…please read this! You will not want to put it down.

Small – Review by Ashley Sugar
I could barely put this book down. I love the strong female characters in this series, and this book was every bit as good as the first book. Katelyn is sweet as pie and tough as nails, and strong as an ox. Reading her story unfold as she rehabilitates a broken horse, and his rider in the process, was captivating. It will have you rooting for love and letting go of expectations and acceptance until the end. Simply beautiful.
