Lighting The Path
Leaning into a Hopeful
Future as a Special Needs Parent
By Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon
☆☆☆☆☆
This may be one of books that help a parent with special needs children, not feel so lost and even answer some unasked questions. Full length and loaded with information for parents as well as siblings. I found this book to be very informative and only wish this came out when my sister was born. I hear quite a few children are lost in the process of parents who struggle with everyday challenges. But when you add injury or illnesses to the mix. All they knew goes right out the window. This is a Must Read!

 

Thank you Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon. You have put some great information out there for all to read. As a sibling to a special needs sister, I’d say this book is spot on. It thrills me to see such a great book. This story is well written and a fast paced book. One I will be sure to have all my friends take time to read this jewel. Well Done Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon! WELL DONE.

This is a full length novel. In this first book of the Special Weapons and Tactics. This has some scenes not intended for those under 18. But the rest of you go right in.

This is a full length steamy romance story. Definitely not for those under 18. But the rest of us can listen and enjoy.

Which he takes, but no true romance and never the same one. He loves women sometimes 2 at a time. But there is still something missing. Will conversations and honesty help him find what is missing?

So much so I could not stop listening.The characters played their parts well. Coral quietly questioned her choices. But the boys have their own questions as well.  I found this story informative as well as interesting. K.L. Shandwick never disappoints, this book proved that. Well Done K.L. Shandwick! Well Done!

Until everything around her changes. Her best friend is ghosting her. Everything between the girls is great until Lila’s boyfriend calls.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loyalty & Lies
Spicetopia
Book 6
By Phoebe Alexander
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length steamy novel. While this is a Contemporary Romance, you will find suspense of the best kind. Once again this book will not disappoint. Not recommended for those under 18 due to the adult theme.

This story will introduce you to Calvin and Paisley. Calvin is taking Paisley on a vacation of her dreams. He has kept this secret until the plane takes off. While she had not known of Spicetopia, it does not take her long to find out. He is vanilla and she is not. That is all I can say about this story. You just have to read it to believe. Have fun! I did!

Phoebe Alexander has done it again. This book was so fun to read. Your emotions will be toyed with as well. Oh and the rollercoaster ride is exactly what you will find in this romance. I absolutely loved Calvin and Paisley! They are a true couple in love. Even though the green monster may want to join in this story, Paisley trusts her husband and reads between the lines. This is a must read. Little romance and a little suspense. Be sure to follow the series, you will find it will help you to know all of these characters. Well done Phoebe Alexander! Well done!

THE ISTANBUL HEIST
Code Raven
Book 8

☆☆☆☆☆
So be prepared to sit for the long haul. This is a full length novel. That will make you feel as though you are there. Pandemic and all that we are living with today. Only this story is full of action.
Luke Raven and his operatives from Raven Group are back in Istanbul. Where another secret mission is taking place. There is so much I could tell you, but I think it best for you to read this incredible high action novel. What is ahead for Luke Raven and his team. What is he hiding from Samaar? Who is behind these terrorist attacks? Will the family secrets shatter Luke and Samaar trust?

Lynda Filler has taken her readers to a different new captivated story. Her writing is smooth and full of interesting insights. I love the characters in this story. Even more the strong independent women, who insist on working side by side with their team. This is one story you won’t want to put down. One more detail you will want to read this series in order.

Hacker
The Mercenaries Series
Book 2
By Nadine Travers
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length, edge of your seat, romantic suspense. Be prepared to go for the long run. Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. Highly addictive, hot and steamy, and even some Mafia Kings.

Chris “Hacker” Montgomery has met his soul mate. Okay maybe his one true love, she disappeared in the night. As he continues his work and searches for her, she can’t be found. He is not willing to let her go. Marie Costa is a beautiful young lady, she has raised her sister and followed her father’s demands. But enough is enough! She escapes only to be threatened to return home. Her father has promised her to a rival mafia king. He only wants to join groups and become more powerful. Deciding on her and her sister’s fate, she goes back for help from Hacker. Hacker is angered and yet willing to bring his team in to help Marie and her sister escape. Now! Will he be able to keep his head about him? Will Marie get the help she needs? What about the mafia kings? Who gets the girls?

Nadine Travers has written this non stop action story. This is one of those books that will keep you engaged and reading. The emotional highs and lows, along with the fighting for freedom is what this story holds. Nadine Travers writes her women to be strong, while very frightened, yet they still show some grit. You can’t help but love the characters. Hacker and Marie are both strong willed. But you will also love Tank and the other Mercenaries as they help out Marie. I can’t wait for the next installment. Well Done Nadine Travers! Well Done!

Witness
An Ash Park Novel
Volume 9
By Meghan O’Flynn
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length thrilling crime story. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, it is that good.Not for those under 18 due to the adult theme. While this is a standalone, I recommend you read the others in order.
Detective Petrosky is back and with him comes a story of epic twist and turns. As a detective he has seen more than his share of awful crimes. To date after 9 books I have to say this is by far the most tense of them all. Family secrets can come back at you, and most times it is not what you expected. Spoilers here, I can’t give anything away.

Meghan O’Flynn has done it again. I was on the edge of my seat with this story. Her writing skills are impeccable. So clear and to the point. It is scary to think the thought she has put into words. I love this story, it was non stop action. The characters follow each book, that is why it is good to read books before this one. Meghan O’Flynn thank you for another exciting rollercoaster ride. Well Done!

The Tears of Boabdil By Neil MacDonald Review by Cindy Mayberry

The Tears of BoabdilThe Tears of Boabdil by Neil MacDonald
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Tears of Boabdil
By Neil MacDonald
☆☆☆☆
This is a complex story of lies and truths, dark and light.
Vince is a liar as well as an Undercover Special Agent. While on a mission he poses as a Islamic. To help him filtration into a British Jihad Group. While on his mission he meets the beautiful Ayesha. Therefore he has many questions to answer for himself. Love or honor, his life is about to change. Action packed and suspenseful. Which way will Vince go, and how far will he push the limits? Only reading this story can answer your question.

Neil MacDonald wrote this intriguing story. It is well written and has great characters. This is not a book I would regularly read, but I gave this one a try. For me it was hard to keep track of who was lying and who was not. Which only means Neil MacDonald has done a great job with this story. This was not my usual genre, I was looking for something different, this was definitely different. Well Done Neil MacDonald! Well Done
