Great introduction of a new to me Author. Coyote Summer is a book that gives us a very thought provoking point of view of a tragic event that is unfortunately an everyday occurence in today’s society. Ben witnesses the sexual assault of a high school girl and then struggles to come to terms with what he saw. I absolutely loved the fact that the Author brought us this story from a male perspective. Ben is also in a strange relationship with a fascinating girl, with a completely different upbringing than him. This is a completely different coming of age story with excellent characters and amazing depth. The only thing that was a miss for me was the supernatural aspect. But it doesn’t take away from the great story.

This is a romance with haunting suspense woven into it, which pulls you along as you engage more with Allison and Logan and this pull only gets stronger as you read to the end.

I still don’t know how I feel about Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber. It is the first I have read by her, and as much as I want to love it, I have mixed feelings. (Side note- This description is so much better than the one on AZON) The story was great, until about halfway through, then I don’t even know what happened. Literally- I still don’t quite understand what was real, exaggerated, dreamed, hallucinated, etc. The book is centered around Ben’s senior year and a series of events that changed his life. Claire’s assault stuck with Ben forever, and changed who is was as a person. It made him question his life, his friends, his morals, everything. And I love that- We saw how Ben changed his way of thinking, struggled with his feelings, and matured into a young adult. However, everything surrounding Puppy and her family, I’m still iffy on. I feel like the author had 2 story ideas, and mashed them together- and I don’t think it worked well. At least for me. I really want to love it… the writing in the first half, I loved. It is written primarily inside Ben’s head and his feelings. I felt his internal struggle to figure out right from wrong. To break away from friends he has had his whole life. To question his family’s way of life, and what being part of it means. But, seeing other reviews, it seems it is a love or hate for most. So, Read the book, and decide for yourself. I hope to read another book by this author and see if I love it more.

This is the third book by McKinley that I’ve read. I thought Dom and Mason had hot stories. Mindy knows what to do to draw readers back. I really hope this isn’t the last time we see the characters.
Sebastian is known for his jazz music. For his band and of course his last name. He doesn’t think he’ll meet his match like his brothers. Going in to do something new changes his thoughts. The quote I chose for Sebastian is: “Are you sure you’re alright? There’s quite a lump. Is there someone I can call? I could take you to the ER.”
Maelie is a music teacher and loves her violin. When she meets Sebastian she doesn’t know what to think. As she gets to know him the more of a decent person he seems to be. The quote I chose for Maelie is: ” I talked to him last night about it. I’ll take care of it after you leave; I promise it won’t be so bad next week.”
Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.
I love all three of the Adams brothers. As I read each of their stories I thought to myself this brother is my favorite and I guess since Sebastian is the last of the boys he will forever be my favorite.
There was a vulnerability in Sebastian that I didn’t see in Dom or Mason that really seemed to grab me. He has a drinking problem and it wasn’t until he hit bottom and he acknowledged his problem things slowly started improving. He was finally able to make himself a priority and I think that gave him the opportunity to open himself up for live.
Maelie is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. I loved her from the moment I met her. She impressed me so much with being self sufficient though she didn’t have to struggle as much as did. She had a huge and difficult decision to make and I feel like she made the best one for her.
I hate to say bye to these three wonderful couples but I don’t see us finding a long lost Adams brother unless…….
This book was a nice way to wrap things up but I wouldn’t mind running into these guys again in the future.

At All (Adams Brothers, #3) by Mindy McKinley was a great 5 star read. I was pulled right in from the beginning.
Maelie is a music teacher and loves it. Her father keeps trying to get her to follow in his footsteps but she has no desire to. She meets Sebastian in a hilarious way that left her with quite the goosebump.
Sebastian isn’t excited about teaching music but he has been forced by his band to get cleaned up and this is the only choice he has at the moment. Once he can prove himself he hopes to be accepted back.
There are a couple of incidents where Maelie talks to Sebastian about his noise levels. These two also have a connection building up between them and when Maelie ends up needing Sebastian’s help they finally give in. And boy do we get some steamy moments.
Will these two work through the issues and have a HEA? Will their careers interfere?
Overall this was a great read. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This was a fun enemies to lovers read, the characters were perfect for each other. 1- click and get started today on this fun series. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Love at First Haunt (Haunted Ever After Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen was such a fun read! I enjoy Carrie Pulkinens writing style and voice. I love how instantly I could relate with Allison and Logan. The pacing was easy to follow and I enjoy all the details. I love the humor laced in the story, it was so easy to laugh along.

Having read and enjoyed the previous two books in this series about the Adams brothers, I was looking forward to reading this novel and to discovering Sebastian Adams story. Sebastian was the best tenor saxophonist in the country but now he is back home in Chicago teaching private lessons after one to many alcohol fuelled mistakes. Struggling with teaching things become complicated when Maelie Barre moves into the studio next to his. Maelie is a successful and respected violin teacher who has spent her life in her fathers shadow, as he is a world famous violinist. She didn’t have time for men until her new studio neighbour turns out to be a very sexy saxophonist. Even though Seb finds Maelie a bit too uptight and they seem to have constant arguments he can’t deny their chemistry and following a very hot kiss neither can she. However, Maelie is reluctant to upend her quiet life and Seb is supposed to be proving he can go without alcohol and women. I loved Seb and Maelie and their chemistry really came across in the narrative and led to some steamy scenes. As usual the storyline flowed well and the plot had plenty going on to keep me happily turning the pages. I was hooked from page one and felt totally immersed in the story. ‘At All’ can be read as a standalone story but I would recommend reading the other books in the series first to get to know the Adams brothers better.

Love at First Haunt (Haunted Ever After Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen 4 stars
Love at First Haunt is the first installment in her Haunted Ever After series. Logan is an empath but he doesn’t know. All his life he knew that he could read people’s emotions and now , on top of that, he has a ghost in his house. Everything is driving him to the point of insanity. He meets Alison and his life changes. She teaches him how to block his empath abilities and shows him what live really is. He falls fast and hard for her. One tiny problem, she’s a psychic who’s afraid of ghosts. How can they have their happily ever after when she would have to face her fears? Facing her fears means putting her life at risk.
I enjoy reading Ms. Pulkinen’s books because they are light romantic comedies with a paranormal twist. I noticed with series, she writes on a more serious note. Although there isn’t as much comedy as her other books, it is still filled with romance, wonderful characters and this time, mystery and danger. While the romance blossoms fairly quickly, the suspense has a slow build up that will leave you breathless. This is a great book and a fantastic start to her new series. I am looking forward to book two.

What happens when you become the pawn in a game but when the game gets real what will happen to the friendship built.
Ellie, Drew and Jason have grown up together and are inseparable but when the boys band, Razes Hell starts getting recognised and the press pick up on tension between the two brothers Ellie unfortunately is stuck in the middle.
So as they go on Ellie realises that she is drawn more to one brother and it’s more than friendship she wants, she feels its felt by Drew but will her pleading love to one brother break up the friendship and cause a rip in the brothers relationship forever.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I thought it was a wonderful story with great characters and a well-developed plot. I love when an author draws you into the story and you do not know where the fantasy and reality line is drawn. Although at first, I did not take to the character of Jason as you go through the book you get to understand that Ellie and Drew have always been there to kind of mop up the decisions which he makes but when he loses that some what you do feel for him in the end. I loved the interactions between Ellie and Drew and seeing how these two really felt about each other it was wonderful to see them grow.
This is a brilliant story with wonderful characters and I can’t read the next instalment and more books by Kyra Lennon in the future.

Nobody Knows by Kyra Lennon is my first book by this author. This rockstar friends-to-lovers romance has me wanting more from these characters.
Ellie, Drew, and Jason have been friends since childhood, but what will happen when two of them start having more than friend feelings for one another? Oh did I forget to mention that Drew and Jason are brothers and in a band together. Intense emotions between Ellie, Drew, and Jason. Ellie trying to play the peacekeeper between the brothers but her feelings for Drew always put her in a difficult position.
Knowing that I don’t have to wait that long to read Jason’s book is great, I can’t wait to see him get his HEA.

This is the 3rd book in the Adams Brother’s series.I loved all these stories. I love how the brothers are single and proud and all it takes is one woman to change that and change them for the better. In this book we follow the youngest brother Sebastian Adams. With his two brother’s happily settled down and his mum due to remarry Sebastian realises just how lonely he is.
However when he makes an alcohol infused mistake that leads him to rehab he has to give up his old life style. That means no touring with his band, no drinking and no women.
He seems fine with that after all music is his passion and if no women means he can get back touring with his band then so be it. That is until he meets Maelie.
Maelie is a teacher at the store where Sebastian is now working. After a bumpy start between them and a few arguments over noise their attraction becomes too much to bear.
One kiss is all it takes to turn Sebastian world upside down. Should he be entertaining entertaining idea of being with Maelie? How can a woman be more addictive to him that alcohol? Can he be the type of man to have a relationship with a women like his brothers do?

This is a fantasy novel and comes in around 230 pages. This does touch a bit on rape, so reader beware as this could be a trigger for some. This story follows Ben, Clint, and Claire as they grow up together. They were all supposed to grow up and become something. But one fateful night proves to change their lives forever. I felt this was a great coming of age story and the choices younger ones must make and the possible impacts of their future.

The secondary characters were wonderful. They are interesting and fun and add to the story. I hope we get to see more of them in the future.
Overall I Enjoyed this and zipped through it fairly quickly. I look forward to reading more.

Love at First Haunt (Haunted Ever After Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four Stars
Love at First Haunt was a fun mystery filled story. The author had a great play on words. Knew how to keep you engaged throughout the story. Allison is a physic that took a break due to a mental break down. Her character was great throughout most of the book. She was definitely trying to grow. Logan was on his way to going insane with his empath abilities. The ghost haunting his property were definitely not helping. They both have a lot of baggage but they find a connection. I enjoyed the flow of the story and the character growth. They knew what they were afraid of in the other person and worked to overcome it.

In his own right as a jazz musician, where he plays the tenor saxophone with the Jazzmen, or at least he was until an alcohol fueled mistake sent him back home and into recovery, but it is harder than it looks and when he ends up teaching in a music store, he realises that he has no idea what to do with all the time he now has. Maelie Barre is the daughter of a world-famous violinist who is just as talented, but she prefers to teach the violin rather than perform with one, plus she is successful at it and her students love her, not to mention that she is writing a pedagogy book and trying things with her students to see how the exercises would work with their intended audience. Both of these musicians end up next door to each other at the store and are introduced to each other when she walks face first into the door which Sebastian has just opened up in front of her to let their boss out of his room, but when they see each other for the first time, they have no idea how to act around each other, but at least Maelie can blame it on her head, Sebastian just just has to use his notable charm to cover his reactions up.
When Maelie gets home, she is bombarded by her housemate with questions and concerns which she doesn’t really mind, but tries not to show it. The next day Sebastian is woken up at an ungodly hour by one of his brothers who is trying to convince him to go running with him, but Sebastian just wants to go to bed, but he appreciates his brother checking in on him and offers to come over for a boys night with his other brother if he feels lonely. Meanwhile, when Maelie arrives at the studio the next day, her thoughts are still filled with Sebastian and the fact that he will be next door, but she tries to push them aside and prepare for her students, however, when Sebastian gets in, she ends up having to go and see him to demand he keeps the noise down so she can actually do some teaching. When Sebastian’s first student arrives, he goes into full panic mode and fumbles his way through while sweating profusely and wishing he had come in with more of a plan.
The next day, Maelie and Sebastian have another confrontation about the noise, but they also cannot deny the attraction between them and how itis developing the more arguments they have, but neither of them want to admit it to the other, however, their bodies aren’t getting the memo and when Sebastian ends up having to give Maelie a lift home when her car breaks down, they can’t deny it any longer and end up getting kissing and this just sets off a chain reaction, but will they give into temptation, or will other outside influences stop their passion in its tracks, as they help each other to recover from life’s challenges? This is a scorching romance which will pull you along in its wake and leave you wanting to know how the story ends and not letting you go until you find out.
Love at First Haunt by Carrie Pulkinen a five-star read that will sweep you away. This is just simply so much fun, I adored the story, the characters and the spookiness. This is number one in the haunted ever after series and I am so eager for number two, there are some great characters in this one, and you can see them developing and sniping and just creating a great story adding depth and drama at each turn. Allison Grey will sweep you into the story and just enable you to forget everything and just enjoy the story.

When a dark sexy handsome saxophonist rents the studio next Maelie will her would turnaround just as its getting settled.
Maelie is from violin royalty her father is a brilliant violinist and while she appreciated all that came with the fame of her father she too has passion for the instrument but wants to be acknowledged for her own ability. Which brings her to now, she is comfortable and has found true passion in teaching this wonderful instrument. While her life is going along on track, what happens next may knock her straight of course with her new neighbour in the studio.
Seb is at the height of his career and when all that comes crashing down after partying to hard and drinking excessively he needs to regroup and prove to himself and his peers that he is okay to come back into the world he left so abruptly. He decides to teach the instrument which has given him the greatest pleasure but boy if he thought teaching would be easy think again. Then add in the sexy uptight neighbour who is invading his dreams will he every be able to go back to old life again.
I loved this series and all the brothers but I think Seb has always been my favourite with his hint of bad boy about him, this book was a great look into the character and see that actually he is sweet as the others. The story was well developed and flowed through brilliantly with the interactions between these two characters. I love Mindy’s writing and this does not disappoint to conclude this series with no real what if questions. Although these books are great reading as a series I feel that they can also be read as a stand alone story and you would get just as much excitement.
I can’t wait to read more books by this wonderful author.

Nobody Knows is book one in the Razes Hell series by Kyra Lennon. This is my first sample of this author’s work, and it was a fantastic read. Nobody Knows was emotionally charged, revealing and thought-provoking. The story centres around 3 friends, their friendship, and feelings growing between two of them. Hidden love never stays a secret for long, and this story unpacked a plethora of tension, secrecy, betrayal. Ellie and Drew cannot deny the attraction. What started as friendship, developed into so much more. I read this story with an acute sense of urgency. I am not sure what was driving these emotions. That is, until I read the story. I read it in one go. I could not put their story down. I was 100% invested in seeing their beginning turn into a beautiful and memorable love story. Kyra Lennon gave her characters real life situations to deal with, making this journey believable and relatable. The connection between the cast was enviable and passionate. Chill evoking mayhem. It had me wishing I could start their story all over again. Blisteringly good. Cleverly written. Worthy of 5 stars.

I loved reading the book Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber. It is a story that pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. I loved the well-developed characters. The author does an amazing job of making the storyline and the characters come alive. This is a fantasy book that grabs your attention, and the book seems to be over too soon. The story takes you on a journey that you will not soon forget. The story has a bit of mystery. It also talks about friendship and the past. The author weaves a tale that is exciting, intriguing, interesting, and seemed to end too soon. Don’t miss out on reading it. I highly recommend it.

I have been slowly getting familiar with the writings of Kyra Lennon and I have to say I have not found one that was below a four star read yet. I was excited to find this series, Razes Hell, as I am a big fan of rockstar romance reads. I don’t know what it is about them but it just makes me fall in love with the characters even more. In Nobody Knows we get all that and more. I was taken away to this world where there are three friends navigating life and adulthood the best they can. This somewhat becomes that friends to lovers read and the slow burn was intense and very well played out. I just loved each of the characters, even the side ones and I am beyond hooked. I cannot wait to see what other books we will get in this series!

Nobody Knows by Kyra Lennon a rocking five-star read. This is number one In the Razes Hell series and shows us what a great series it shows to be becoming. There were parts that this was not five-star worthy, it was a bot repetitive and could do with a re-edit, as some lines kept repeating later down the page. But overall, the story and characters were well done, and had depth to them, you could feel the push and pull Ellie finds herself in and how she felt about Drew, but the conflicting emotions of Jason will push you at times, but others it pulls you, you can feel why Ellie has the emotional roller-coaster and why there is friction. It breaks your heart as a reader as you feel like you are forced to sit on your hands and not do anything, much like Ellie herself, forced to choose between doing what’s right and doing what those you love need of you.
