Coyote Summer – Laura Koerber

4-stars

Coyote Summer is truly the most unique book I’ve read in a very long time. It’s a coming-of-age story full of unexpected, intriguing and surprising moments. The story is written from the main characters POV, and I thought the author did a great job in portraying the young man’s thoughts and feelings. They seemed really true and honest for someone with his status and age.

Though I enjoyed this book I did at times feel lost and unsure of how everything was going to be connected as there are some magical realism aspects thrown into the storyline. They certainly weren’t my favorite part but they definitely kept me intrigued the whole way through.

I really enjoyed how this story kept me on my toes and had me feeling all kinds of emotions from start to finish. It’s a story I’ll never forget!

I enjoyed this story. It may be a trigger for some but if you are able to get past the subject, it truly is a great story. This is a story about a group of kids that society expected to be promident adults like their parents. What will happen when one tragic incident changes things for them? This story is written with a lot of emotion and I felt that through the characters as they bring the story to life. I had no problems connecting with them as they go through consequences of one person’s actions. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

3 ½ Stars

Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber is another original story with plenty of thought provoking content. Again, Ms. Koerber brings a realism and complete believability to her story- making you feel as if this actually happened. I was completely engrossed right off the bat.
The story does centre around a sensitive topic, rape- but Ms. Koerber doesn’t use it gratuitously, but it is central to the story as a whole. This is ultimately a magical realism coming of age story- with drama, angst, and a first-person POV.
Ms. Koerber takes a different approach here, giving us the perspective of the male witness to a rape, Ben- as he struggles with what he saw, did, and didn’t do. His struggle with how to deal with it all is what really sets this book apart, and made for an intriguing read.
This story is an unusual blend of a character study, fantasy, coming of age, crime, a little mystery, and magical realism. I wasn’t sure of what I would make of it when I purchased it- but having read some of the author’s previous work I thought I would take a chance, and I am glad that I did.

Thank you, Laura Koerber!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Is This Me? (Being Me Book 1) by Tricia Copeland. I’ve recently been introduced to this awesome author and I’ve enjoyed most I’ve read so far, but I have to say this is probably my favorite so far. The characters are complex and relatable, they easily pulled me right into their world. I liked getting lost in this story, it’s a wonderful coming of age story that kept me engaged the entire book. Couldn’t put this one down. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Coming of age books can sometimes make me frustrated because the characters do things that make me want to smack them but I also think that’s a true feeling on how well the story is written because you feel strongly. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

At Once by Mindy McKinley is book two of the Adams Brothers series. I couldn’t wait to read this book after finishing Book 1 and this one leads you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Gabi is starting over after a divorce. Once she starts to heal in walks Mason and that charm of his that she just doesn’t need in her life right now. So can they work together and not let the chemistry between them take control? I love how the author puts so much detail into her work! You feel like you are there with them . You will fall in love with this story and the characters! I cant wait to see what the next one will include!

At All by Mindy McKinley is the third book in the Adams Brothers series. This is another excellent book in what is already such a strong series. I loved the enemies to lovers theme than this book was based on and the chemistry between the main characters. You could feel their intense connection right from the word go.
The book is pretty fast paced and is so easy to read. You easily get caught up in the story that has been so well developed. This is a great series and is one that is sure not to disappoint.

A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts, Book Three) AUDIO BOOK by KG Fletcher – Review by Liz Vrchota

/0 Comments/in /by

A Sun So Bright is the third book of the Reigning Hearts series from KG Fletcher. These books can be read or listened to completely as standalones or together in a series. I have to say I struggled with this one but only for a bit. The main female lead, Fiona, is not one that I wanted to like. Darn it all to hades though by the end Fletcher had me feeling all the feels and completely hooked on her as a person. She really grew into a woman I completely never thought possible in those early chapters. I am so glad I stuck with it and was able to see how this sweet little love story played out. I am excited to see what the next book in the series will bring. I am sure it will be its own sweet soul female lead with a completely new spin just like this one and the books before it.

This was such a cute read! I really liked the male role in this novel! I think normally writers are lead to believe women want to read about a rugged, rude and dominant male but I enjoyed how he was so secure with himself but was patient with her! Would definitely recommend!

I also really enjoyed the princess and the pauper take it had and how we’re so consumed with what society says about us. Also, i think it’s interesting that her friends are the judgemental ones, despite them coming from a family that is ‘well educated’. I think it shows a lot about that phrase and how being of high class doesn’t mean anything if you’re not a nice person.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this but there were a lot of things that were really bothersome. I felt like Jake was very domineering but he does get better as the book goes on. Sandy started out as a badass woman who didn’t need a man, but becomes more insecure as the book went on. I did enjoy the whole family drama aspect of the book and I would definitely read the about the other brothers of the Clark family!

This was a cute book, the underling message from which the author discussed in an excerpt at the end was a bonus. I commend the author for touching on this subject. The characters were cute and funny. It was very easy to read, I got through it in about half a day due to interruptions, but easily could get done in a few hours. The development of the characters was good and I hope to see the support characters in books of their own. Overall, good book and well written.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love at First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance (Haunted Ever After Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen is a rom com, contemporary romance, and thriller. It is the first book in a new series from Carrie and this genre is something that she does oh so well. Carrie is always on my TBR list and when I see one of her books it’s a must get. In true Carrie fashion the characters are well developed and quirky and did I mention lovable and make her stories what they are. The story is nonsensical funny that had me laughing loudly and hubby wondering why I was. I was captivated and read it in one sitting.

I look forward to the next ghostly feel good tale from Carrie.

The third book in the series, I enjoyed this book tremendously. The real life struggles of the main characters brought a realism to the book where unrealistic fantasy normally resides. What I like most about this author is her ability to get buy in on the characters, you become invested in their story lines and want to see how their story develops. Hopefully the author will continue with other books in the series and highlight develoment of other characters within the world of the Adams brothers. If she does, I am totally here for it!

What happens when you have all the money and not have to think about surviving but it is a lonely at the top.

The story follows the life of Fiona. Fiona is a socialite and after trying to find a date to an event and failing she decides to get drown her sorrows she plots a plan to ask the handsome bartender to help her out.

Chris is just doing his job and in she walks, after talking to her over the course of the night she proposes that he becomes her date for a function and after that all hell breaks loose

I love this author and this story does not disappoint, the characters were great together and the story flowed brilliantly. The reader was passionate and added to the emotion of the flow to the story. As the story goes along you see into the relationship and understand that Fiona is looking for love but can she trust Chris with her heart.

I can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series.

At All is book three in the Adams Brothers series by Mindy McKinley. This is a great hate to love story about a musician and a teacher that is off the charts hot and a great entertaining read. Friction exists between Maelie and Sebastian and the level of excitement was high from the start to the end. In the melody of love, they overcome the odds and they enter a life together full of noise, passion and the unexpected. Unpredictable is this story. Unforgettable is the cast. 4 stars

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love At First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the first book in the Haunted Ever After Series by Carrie Pulkinen.

This is not my first book by this author, I am already a huge fan of the New Orleans Nocturnes series, so I was very happy to see a new book.
Book one really starts off with a bang when our main character Allison encounters a ghost at a party. Allison may be a medium, but she does her best to stay away from ghosts.
Logan has just bought a new house, he soon realises he’s not alone and that the ghost he is sharing the house with is not going anywhere.
One of the things that I enjoyed most about this book is that it is a very modern-day twist on a paranormal romance. The characters are very relatable, their imperfections make them much more believable. I also love that the other characters play important roles and that we get to know them well too.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something a bit different from the usual romance.

Author: Mindy McKinley
FIVE STARS
This book is every bit as good as the first book. I was hooked on this author and this series when I read At Last, the first book in the Adams Brothers series. This time we are reading about brother Mason and his passion for carpentry. He meets the beautiful red head Gabi and things are rocky to start. But can Mason win her over?
This book has some parts that are laugh out loud funny. The Adams Brothers are sexy and such good guys through and through. You do get to keep up with Dom and Lu from book one as you will see. Also we get to meet Gabi’s best friend Kylie.
Mason and Gabi really do go together very well as Gabi is an interior designer and Mason builds custom furniture.
GREAT STORY. NOW LET ME GET MY HANDS ON SEB!!

Stormy's Thunder (Satan's Devils MC Utah #2)Stormy’s Thunder by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say Ms. Mellett had her work cut out for her with this book as I went into this book saying “there’s no way I will ever be able to like Stormy, hes done too much that I can’t forgive” , and yet again this shows the amazing talent she has as an author, because I ate those words by the time I was done.
So like I said going in I wasn’t optimistic, I knew it would be a rough one but something about getting to know someone, the ins and outs and what makes them tick, really opens your heart up and then that person could do anything and be forgiven to some degree (thankfully its all fiction)
I won’t give details. These books have them all, but these Utah chapter members never have a dull moment that’s for sure.

Five Stars

This is the third book in the Reigning Hearts series by KG Fletcher. I believe this is the best book so far. The way she molded Fiona was amazing and Chris was such a foil to her. It was a great shift to New York  City for a change of scenery.  It also was a great change up with the billionaire being female.  This book could be read/listened to by itself, but I highly recommend you listen to them all. 

Kelly did another wonderful job with the narration with book. She has a really nice voice and she brings passion into each character. This is a wonderful and all around great listen.

FIVE STARS
Mindy McKinley is a new to me author and wow this book was great. The main characters Dom and Tallulah are so every day that you can picture them as being the friends down the street. Both school teachers, but both have other passions as well. Their story is full of energy and real life every day challenges that we all can and probably have or will come across some time in out lives. This story will leave you DESPERATE to find out what happens with the next brother.
The banter between Dom and Lu is fantastic. Witty come backs and flirty banter. This book flows so well that you will finish it in no time and want so much more.
Great book and I am heading into book two immediately!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

At Once (Adams Brothers, #2) by Mindy McKinley was a great 5 star read.
It pulls you right in from the beginning.

Gabi is an interior designer with her friend and they have a very challenging client. When her partner/friend introduces her to Mason who makes and sells his own furniture there is an instant connection. The furniture he makes is perfect will the client agree.

Mason isn’t looking for anyone special but when he meets Gabi she is just his type. Gabi has no intentions on dating, she is focusing on her work, but Mason isn’t too bad to look at and work with. The more they work together the closer they get.

Can these two finally get the happiness they deserve?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. The author does a great job with her writing and you can’t help but fall for the characters. The secondary characters were great also. It was great watching these two connect and fall for each other. We get some steamy moments as well. If you’re looking for a great romance story this is a great one to read. 1-click and get started today.

Not only the Utah Chapter but some of the others too. But as with many of Ms. Mellett’s books, you get hooked right into the story and take the twists and turns because the book is so good. I love that this book shows us the real Stormy and how lost he really feels. Is it too late for Stormy or will he find help in an unexpected way?

Stormy’s Thunder is the second book in this series and while it can be read as a standalone, I suggest that you read book one first. Stormy is the main character in this novel and he has some proving to do. Manda Mellett is a wonderful and imaginative author. She knows exactly how to write an MC novel. When reading any novel by Manda Mellett you get sucked in and can’t put the novel down. This is one of the hallmarks of a wonderful and stunning writer.

At Once: Adams Brothers: Book 2 by Mindy McKinley

This is the second book I’ve read by Mindy. I thought Dom’s story was good, but darn if Mason didn’t pull me in. This is the second book of the Adams Brothers Series.

Gabi isn’t looking for a relationship when she meets Mason Adams. Between her best friend and later her father she finally gives in and gives him a chance. When her ex-husband shows up it threatens everything she wants. The quote I chose for Gabi is: Okay, yes, he’s hot. Those shoulders alone make my knees feel funny. He really should be a model or an actor, not stuck behind a lathe all day long.”

Mason is the middle boy of the Adams boys. With his oldest brother’s wedding coming up he isn’t sure what he wants. When Gabi enters AdamsMade for the first time he knows he wants her. Things go from great to worse in a matter of seconds. The quote I chose for Mason is: “I still can’t get used to you like this, and for the record, f*ik that. I don’t need to be tied down for any reason. The business keeps me busy at all hours, and at the end of the day, all I really need is a good f**k.”

Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.

I’ve read and listened to the first 2 books in this series. I love KG Fletcher. I wasn’t going to read this book. I knew who the main female character was, and didn’t want to hear her story – lol. I’m really glad I did listen to the audiobook though. The narrator was perfect and the book was awesome. I enjoyed it and I can say I finished this series with no malice in my heart for any of the characters. You really do need to read these in order. This book focuses on Fiona, and she’s introduced in book 1. It was a great story and put together well. I recommend EVERYTHING KG Fletcher writes. This series was wonderful.

At Once (Adams Brothers, #2)At Once by Mindy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book two in this series about the Adams brothers and this time the storyline centres around Mason Adams. Mason runs his own successful furniture business and through work he meets Gabi and suddenly he is determined to make her change her mind when she turns him down for a date. Gabi Turner has literally started again following her divorce and is completely focused on her burgeoning interior design business. When the sexy local carpenter Mason, who has a bit of a reputation asks her out she says no but soon learns he’s set on changing her mind. Gabi and Mason find themselves working closely together on a gutted Victorian house and the more time they spend together the more Gabi finds herself dreaming of a future but is reluctant to trust her heart to another man. The chemistry between Gabi and Mason is instant and it really comes across in the narrative and leads to some steamy scenes. I loved both the main characters and was cheering them on hoping they would get their HEA, no spoilers! Having read and enjoyed the first book I was definitely not disappointed by this second instalment as the plot was full of romance and suspense. ‘At Once’ is a real page turner and I felt immersed in the story. I’m looking forward to reading Sebastian’s story next.
