My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gwyn has done it again! Just like all the other books of her’s that I have read, this one captures you in it’s grip and you don’t even care. Until the book ends and you can’t wait for more! You don’t need to read the first generation to read this one, but let me tell you that once you get into these you will want to go back and read them! They are all so, so good! So, just trust me and read them all!! LOL. And make sure you read the prequels too! So much good stuff in them all! Reticent Hawke is about Angie and Jude’s story. This one was so gripping. You get to learn more about the allusive Jude who was kind of adopted into the family. He hates being apart of the family, but that’s because he loves one of them. He sits in his window, hidden away from everyone, watching. Jude had a very horrible start to life and because of it he has locked himself away. Building up walls to keep people away from him. Allie is the exception. She is his best friend and one of the only people to see him in person in two years. When Allie starts to act weird and disappears for days he and Angie team up to find out what’s going on. Even when she comes clean she’s hiding something and they both know it. Getting to the bottom of her secrets is going to be tricky. To top it off a pesky company is gunning for Angie’s coffee shop along with the other Hawke family businesses. Will they finally find out who is behind it? Boy oh boy! I don’t want to give anything away, but you have to read this one!! Curl up with a drink, some tissues, and get ready to get sucked in!

Vampires of Atlantis by Courtney Davis- 4 out of 5 stars

 

An interesting, paranormal book full of myths and legends, all centered around Atlantis. What if Atlantis truly was ruled by vampires? The author gave life to a unique book and I found it to be very captivating. I do feel like the story was rushed at times though. I wish there was more to the story.

Night Hawke (A Second Generation Hawke Family Prequel) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Night Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation #0.5)Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a Prequel to Nolan (Isaac) and Jack’s story. I actually didn’t read this prequel first, but I wish I had. It just gives their story a little taste of what’s to come and man oh man is it good!! Isaac just finishing law school decides a night of celebrating is needed before he heads back to NOLA to help run the Hawke empire. With his whole life mapped out for him settling into the family business can wait a couple days. He just happens to have his sites on a red head that would fill those days before life and family demands him back. Jack has slipped out and gone to a dive bar no one would ever think to look for her at. She wants some much needed time away from her life and family. Playing pool and having a few drinks with Nolan is harmless. She’s looking for a fun distraction and so is he. No strings. Not giving each other their real names they set out to have a great one night stand with each other. Their one night stand turns into two and before they know it this have changed. This book is steamy! It will have you rushing to grab their story asap, so you can dive right in some more. More than one of Gwyn’s books has had me up late reading when I should have been sleeping! LOL 🙂

Wow! Although this is the sixth and final book in the collection, I feel like it worked great as a stand alone. I do encourage readers to start from book one in the series so they do not miss details about different characters. Romance, secrets, lies, greif, this book as a whirlwind of emotions entangled throughout. This book can empower women to speak up and have a voice amongst all the chaos. The author did a great job and I recommend trying out this series.

Regaining Integrity (Code of Honor)Regaining Integrity by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a quick read for me and I read it in a day. That said it is an amazing read and grips you from he beginning. You get all the feels straight from the first chapter. You feel connected to the characters refuse. You can relate to either knowing someone like them or because you were one of them in high school. The situation that happens between the main characters in high school sets the tone for the remainder of the book. You will keep turning pages to figure out if the leading female will get over what happened or if the leading male will figure things out and possibly grow up. There is a decent amount of steam in this book that feels natural to the situation. There is character development and growth throughout the book as the characters get older in life. It is a sweet story that has you hooked and rooting for the characters. Even though it is the 4th book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. I haven’t actually read the others in the series and this book makes me want to go and read them all.

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1)The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Silent Woodsman had me on my toes for quite a while! Almost the whole book I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I kept hoping Ali would find her way back to her woodsman somehow, but man was it hopeless!! Ali was told that her brother was killed in an explosion, but she refuses to believe it. She FEELS that her twin is still alive and out there somewhere. In an attempt to get a sign from him, she goes for a hike in the rainforest. They loved to hike together, so she finds a fitting area to hike. Getting trapped in a sudden storm she seeks shelter in the only random remote cabin around. Fortunately for her JJ (Joe) isn’t an ax murderer who has people cut up in the walls! Unfortunately for them both though, JJ can’t speak due to his vocal chores healing and being under orders to completely rest his voice. Trapped together for a couple days with only paper and pen, charades, and facial expressions to communicate the two get a little closer. Ali is the main speaker, but JJ keeps his identity a secret and with much regret he never tells her who he is. She leaves back to her life after an unforgettable kiss and he slowly gets back to his own as well. He searches for her, calling every coffee shop he can, but never finds her. She dreams of him, but knows it’s hopeless with only knowing his nickname JJ. When she runs into his double she has a spark of hope, but it’s quickly dashed away. Can either of them move on? Will they forever pine for the one who got away? There are a few twists that will have you wondering how this book will end, but I don’t want to give an hints. Very up and down with the storyline that will keep you guessing. You just have to read it yourself to see how it ends though!! I can’t wait to read the 2nd book to the series soon, which is about her twin brother!!

When I was a little girl, I had a blankie that I took around with me. So did my youngest son. Lilly has a bunny. These are soothing items that have special powers to help us when we are anxious or scared. Lilly accidently forgets her bunny and when she gets to school she is full of anxiety. The school nurse helps her to learn some techniques she can use when she feels anxious. The story explains where the anxious feelings come from. This would be a great book to get if your child is anxious and needs to understand where those feelings come from.

This is an amazingly written enemies to lovers trope. I was constantly turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. The hate to hate to maybe like to love is beyond what I was expecting. There are twists and turns that I didn’t see coming but were everything to the story line. The growth of the characters felt organic and not rushed or dragged out. The flow of the book was well done. It didn’t feel like certain scenes carried on or others were rushed. It was a very steady fast pace. Well, not super fast, I just read fast. This book made it hard to put down and I found myself getting agitated at anyone who interrupted me reading. This is how you know it is a good book. I highly recommend reading this if you just want to escape for a few and forget about your day to day.

Lilly Tames Her WorriesLilly Tames Her Worries by Carole Heaney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I chose this book in mind of my kids going back to school this week. Children often have emotions that affect their bodies and many times they don’t know how to manage any of it. This book helps kids understand why it is happening and it offers a couple of solutions to help navigate those feelings. In this book the main character Lilly forgets her favorite stuffed rabbit at home. She uses this stuffed rabbit as a support stuffy. When she gets those pesky heebie-jeebies she would normally rub her rabbit’s ear, but because she forgot it at home she can’t. Once at school she sees the nurse who helps her with a breathing exercise that calms her down. A new friend at recess also shows her another way to help with belly butterflies. Throughout the book Lilly learns many things about her emotions and how they make her body feel. I would defiantly recommend this book to kids! My youngest daughter is eight, but I would say reading this to younger kids would be great as well. They younger they learn about their emotions and how they can affect your body the better. The illustrations are also wonderful! You can see the heebi-jeebies floating around her throughout the book. I can’t wait to read more from this author with my kids!

Ava and Matthias don’t get along. He’s never been nice to her, but she’s best friend’s with his brother Theo so she’s always around. Growing up together their families are super close, but she doesn’t know why he always looks so miserable around her and every word towards her is cruel. She hates the way he treats her and for the life of her she doesn’t know what she ever did to make him hate her. One winter day after an argument and fall Ava is laid up at the estate. Then if things couldn’t get worse they’re snowed into the estate, while the rest of the Kings and her father are snowed out in New York. I don’t want to give to much away, but one thing leads to another and the next thing she knows, she’s in this crazy love triangle with him and Theo! Who will she end up with? I really liked both brothers for her in different ways, but I never saw some of the twists in this book coming! If you love a good contemporary romance, enemies to lovers, a little jealousy, and easy banter between characters this is one you need to add to your to-read list!

This is the second book in the next generation of the Hawke Family Saga. I can not get enough of these books. The way this story is written gives you so much to digest. It has amazing characters and you get to see some characters from other stories. The character development is so well done that you feel yourself going through the emotions of all the characters. While reading this you feel like you are right there along with then and going through everything that they are going through. Adding in the forbidden thoughts of your best friends sister, gives the reader just enough intrigue to see how things end up. There are some controversial topics and traumas that the characters work through. This gives the readers opportunity to get gripped into the story. This book is another page turner that you won’t be able to put down. You will want to know what is happening, who did what, etc. This book can be read as a stand alone but you won’t want to. You will want to know the other characters and their stories. You will want to know all the dirty deets with everyone else. You won’t be disappointed but starting this book and getting to know everyone and you won’t be disappointed to read the whole series.

Bones of the soul- one of the best takes of Pinocchio. Nazar is slowing freezing because of his disease. Doctors said by 18 he would no longer be. Nazar only painted people he had some connection to. At the end how two of his muses meet when Nazar pass and connecting everyone together. It was beautiful. Definitely a must read!

This book is not the first in the series but when I say that it is okay if you haven’t read the others; I actually mean it. The author does an amazing job with making sure that the reader is able to pick up and carry on through the book as if they have read the entire series up to this point. That speaks volumes upon volumes of the amazing writing that is in this book. It was also a quick read for me because of the story line and how I just couldn’t put the book down without knowing what was going to happen next. The characters make you fall in love with them. You will go through emotions that they are going through. There is amazing chemistry in this book with the characters and the steam is off the charts. The magic, suspense, steamy times, and wonderful characters; will leave you wanting to read every book in this series. It is a great escape to a complete amazing place that you never knew you needed.

The author brings life to this gated retirement community of seniors. Each senior has their own back story with love, secrets, and heartache. I love how well rounded the character development is throughout the book. I do wish the author would have brought everything to a solid end but maybe she has more in-store for us in the future.
