Priscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and in OthersPriscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and in Others by Constance Mays
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

GREATNESS isn’t that a beautiful word? That is what you will find in this children’s story. A way to teach children and those around us, where to find their GREATNESS. To look for the small acts of kindness. Priscida is a plain Ole alley cat, scrounging around for food, going from dumpster to dumpster. Until the day the pound caught her. You would think a name like Priscida is loyalty, but in fact it is the name given to her by the workers at the shelter. A Classy Chassie fits Priscida. The author of this book has pets and children in mind. I love that she shares with her readers ways to read this book to their children. She encourages voice changes as well as facial expressions, to help children to get a better understanding of those feelings. Priscida is trying to teach us, We Are Greatness. This was a true feels book. I enjoyed reading it too.

All the while Xavier is investigating Lexi, his job is to see if she can do her job as a detective. While Lexi is on the job to stop this horrible killer. She is also fighting an inner battle.

The characters are the true story makers, people I would have loved to have known. Let’s not forget the attraction between Lexi and Xavier. Can these two people do their jobs, all the while trying to keep each other and their families safe? You really do need to read this story, and take a chance with this author. She is a new to me author who has got my vote. I look forward to reading more from her.

Born in Darkness (Mafia Elite #3)Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! WOW! WOW!!! This is Stefano and Emiliana’s story. Put together by this amazing author. This being the third book in this series. Just goes to say she has so much more to offer. But! Before you start this one, make sure to read the first two. Here is a Mafia Romance that should not take place. But the heart wants what it wants. I found myself intrigued by this book. I could not turn the pages fast enough. It’s filled with Romance, Suspense, Action and even Mafia politics. Your heart will be broken and healed in one book. The characters are strong and play along with the author’s mind. Emiliana is a strong woman, and nothing can stop her. Stefano knows what he needs to get done. So if I stop here you get no spoilers. I just think you should give this series and this author a go. You won’t be disappointed. Now I have to wait for the next in this series.

Red's Peril Part 2: The Prez's Old Lady (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #2)Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is yet another ☆☆☆☆☆ star read. You get sucked into the first part of this series. Leaving you to wonder and waiting for part 2. Well I could not wait any longer. As predicted. This author did not disappoint. Her story was not only intense. For me there was yet another aspect of life I had no clue about. The characters are a well rounded group of men and women. Red being the Prez of this MC always puts his family first. Char included, Char is about to reconnect with Red, but is she ready? Is Red ready to have his life changed, for the better? This is a fast moving rollercoaster of emotions. Get out the chocolate, tissues and whatever else you need. This is going to keep you locked in place. I absolutely love this MC series. I recommend you start the series with book one. Become friends with all the men of Satan’s Devils.

Being of the Shinree race he must serve his master,  even if that means going into battle. Having blood on his hand and the death of many.

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus?Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story gets ☆☆☆☆☆ stars! It is one of the cutest stories to answer that age long question. Is Santa Claus real? I love how this story leaves hope for the children. This author has taken what determines a child’s feelings, and allowed them to help others believe. In all my teaching I have always said “Santa is in the hearts of all people.” As this is what I grew up hearing. These characters are as real as you can get when it comes to school peers. What an awesome way to keep Santa in our hearts. Beautiful pictures bring this story to life. I recommend this book to all parents of young children.

☆☆☆☆☆

 

Welcome to the world of Satan’s Devils. I LOVE this Author and her MC stories. I have come to enjoy this series. This was an Audio Book so the Narrator needs to be mentioned. His voice is perfect and at times I heard John Wayne reading the story. We all know the voices make the story come to life. I recommend you follow this series and start with book one. You won’t be let down. As this author will keep you reading this exciting romance with a twist. Drummer is the Pres of the Satan’s Devils. Sweet butt was as close to a relationship as he wanted. No commitments and no Ole Lady. Sam has just lost her mother, but just before she passed away, she told Samantha the name of her father. Sam is one tough lady, and she proves so as she looks for her father. Coming to Satan’s Devils could be asking for trouble. But her strength and motorcycle knowledge may help her. Let’s not forget who her father is. He plays an important character as well. No Spoilers found in this review. I’m looking forward to book 3.

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a short story with a whole lot of feelings. This is a MM Paranormal Romance, it also contains an Adult theme. Besides recording the final words of Carissa. Acheron is fighting his mating call. With the help of Carissa and Errapel, Acheron is able to put his life into perspective. While the story is complete, I would have liked just a bit more for the mated couple. But some things are just the way they are. Being an unwanted shifter, Acheron was still brave enough to complete the work assigned to him.
Naomi Valkyrie is one of my top authors. Her stories never disappoint. This is just an example of where her story’s eye takes her readers. This may be outside of my usual genre, I enjoyed it just the same. The characters themselves tell this story. Which makes for a strong cast of players. You are about to read a unbelievable page turner. Caught up in the first chapter, Naomi Valkyrie will keep you reading. Well Done Naomi Valkyrie! Well Done! ! !

This is not only a full length novel. It’s the first of many stories in the Christmas Romance I have planned to read this Holiday Season. What a way to start.

These two are total opposites, yet there are sparks. So what do you think could happen? Will they fight the temptation or be spontaneous?

Marianne Rice is a new author for me. But when I saw this book it sounded interesting. I was right to pick this author. Her story is well written and down to the point. The romance is exciting and the Christmas vibe just adds to this contemporary romance. I fell in love with both Liberty and Sawyer. They are both workaholics and have yet to put work aside.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 

This is a full length novel and a continuation of the Nite Fire Series. Here you will once again come face to face with dragons and shapeshifters. Oh wait, that would describe Dahlia Nite. Our main character she is a powerful detective and with her partner Alex Creed, they must stop whoever is leaving dismembered bodies all over the City. So combining two worlds and working among humans, Dahlia has her hands full. She also has secrets that could destroy who she is. The goal is to find the killer and stop the mayhem scattered about the City and to protect other species.

 

C.L. Schneider  has continued to keep readers and listeners entertained with her Paranormal Fantasies. Her book is well written and flows smoothly. OK not so smoothly, as you are riding this fast paced rollercoaster. That changes with every corner. Shout Out to Cassandra King who Narrates Nite Fire. Between the author and narrator this book will continue to entertain its audience. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Well Done C.L. Schneider! Well Done! ! !

☆☆☆☆☆
This full length story really should have more than 5 stars. Yes it’s that good! This is Red’s story, how he came to join the Satan’s Devils. Red had lived through some things a child should never have to. His mother left after his dad had been in an accident that left his father paralyzed and unable to care for himself. That left Sam to care for his father, he was just a little boy. His dreams and goals had come to a stop. After his father passed, Red got on his bike and rode south. No plans, no destination. No Spoilers!

Manda Mellett has once again opened another book to this series. Every book has become my favorite. This one is no different. You can’t help falling in love with Red or the other members of Satan’s Devils. Her books are fast passed and will draw you in before you can turn the first page. You will find yourself laughing, then crying, followed by wanting to throw your tablet/book. Don’t do it! Just keep reading and it gets better. I am hoping the rest of Red’s story is ready soon. I can’t wait. Well Done Manda Mellett! Well Done! ! !

This is a story of chance. It all started out as a small group of friends and the struggles life has offered them. By chance lottery tickets were bought and someone got the prize of a lifetime. There is a secret stirring of a romance. Amelia wants more from Teague and he feels the same. But the two fight their inner thoughts. Now working together every day could be a challenge. How will Amelia and Teague keep from letting their hearts be known. Will this cause hardship between them and Alex? Afterall Alex is Amelia’s big brother and Teague’s best friend.

Christi Barth, WOW! Christi Barth has written a 3rd book to this series. It will draw you in just as the others did. It opens more hearts than the characters alone can. The characters are a true balance of friends, ones we would love to know ourselves. Once I started I could not put it down. This story has all the feels of a strong romance.

Noemie’s Journey

AUDIO BOOK

By Victoria Saccenti 

☆☆☆☆☆

This is a romance with a little bit of a history. The days when mixed marriages were frowned upon. In this story Noemie and Richard come face to face with racism. You will get to go back to the sixties and read along as these two incredible people fight for love. Richard will do just about anything for Noemie. Noemie, having racism thrown at her daily, just wants to protect the man she loves. Even if it means she can’t see him or love him. How will these 2 beautiful people’s hearts find where love leads them?

 

Victoria Saccenti has opened the door to the 60s. A time when the people were divided by race and color. A time where people could get killed over talking to the wrong person. Growing up in the 60s I remember hearing such horrific stories. This is a beautifully written story about just such forbidden love. One I think everybody will enjoy. Noemie is such a strong independent woman. Richard is a strong protector, who loves who he loves. The characters in this story are believable in how life was back then. You will find the world around you fades away as you listen to this story of forbidden love. Hop on this audio train and listen in. Well Done Victoria Saccenti!  Well Done! ! !

You are about to step into a quaint little pub. You will meet new friends and enjoy the peacefulness that sets before you. That is what makes this a Contemporary Romance. One I am sure you will enjoy as much as I did.
Pandora Sebastian is a model who just needs some quiet. Stress from work had taken over and she just needed to get away. Running from yet another photoshoot, she hops into the closest car and drives away. Many things lead up to her driving away but I’ll let you read it for yourself. Jonas Carruthers owns the little pub that Pandora walks into. He has his own story to tell as well. No Spoilers will be found here.

Nicole Flockton wrote this “easy to get caught up in” novel. It is well written and keeps you entertained. I recommend you read Book 1 so you are caught up and ready to read Pandora and Jonas’ story. This author ends her story where the next one starts. Giving you a little taste of what is coming. I have grown to love the characters and their roles in the little town. This is one of those books that make it hard to put down. I am looking forward to reading the next in this series. Well Done Nicole Flockton! Well Done!!

Rhett has some pretty hard trials to get through, but can it do it? Let’s not forget the beautiful Cassandra, the one that hurt him, well she is back as well. So read on to see if things will heat up or cool down for this couple.
Bree M. Lewandowski is to thank for this contemporary romance. I love how this story quickly became a page turner. I could not put it down. Rhett and Cassandra play their part well in this story. The whole list of characters brings Saratoga Roan to life. The book was easy to follow, leaving your focus on the main characters. I look forward to the next Second Chance Romance. Well Done Bree M. Lewandowski! Well Done!

Dating The It Guy
Krysten Lindsay Hager
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a full length novel. Great for teens dealing with loss. High School is hard enough, with homework, boyfriends and besties. Then the worst is the loss of a grandparent, well really any loss. This is one of the best books I have read, dealing with teens in mind.
Emme is close to her grandparents, and is dating the popular Brendon Agretti all while going to high school. When Emme’s grandmother falls ill, she finds herself trying to keep everything normal. Which proves hard as her grandfather is also in poor health, and seems lost. Also dating Brendon has its challenges. Read and find out how Emme deals with such trying times.

Krysten Lindsay Hager really pulled out all the stops with this coming of age story. I wish this was available when I was in school. I love Emme and her friends. Dealing with high school and home life is hard enough. This quick reading page turner holds so many questions that can be answered while reading this story. I recommend this to teens and adults dealing with losing a family member. Well Done Krysten Lindsay Hager! Well Done! ! !

This is a full length novel loaded with a forbidding romance. Just the contemporary romance we all need. No spoilers will be found in this review.
Rachel Diaz is the coach’s daughter and the forbidden fruit. Craig Turner and his basketball mates knew this all too well. Returning home for Coach Diaz’s funeral, old memories between the Fabulous Five help the men to get caught up on each other’s lives. But for Rachel and Craig it could be so much more than a goodbye to the coach. Can Rachel and Craig become so much more than friends? Only reading this story will bring this book to life.

Bernadette Marie has written this book so clearly I felt like she Introduced the characters to me and the readers. I felt as part of this story starting in chapter one. Reading as the romance built from the loss of a parent and old friends was heartwarming. Bernadette Marie kept this story going, with the emotional events as they happened. As I watched this story come to life in my mind’s eye. She won’t disappoint her readers. Well Done Bernadette Marie! Well Done! ! !
