Wondogfilled (Boys Unboxed) by Dr. Kimberlie Harris

Wondogfilled is a super fun yet cute children’s book that children 0-8 can enjoy. The illustrations are colorful and bring the story to life. This is a story about learning different animals and how not all animals are the same. Kingston and his mom like to take walks and Kingston loves dogs and easily recognizes them. But what will happen when a different animal is introduced? My five-year-old son loves dogs and loved reading this book and pointing out the different animals. I highly recommend reading this book.

Going into this book i thought I knew what to expect being this is a best friends sister romance. Well I was wrong on my assumption and what we got was so much more. This is my first book by this author but I’m definitely a fan already. Im definitely going to be looking into the first two books in this series. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with raw, yet developed and relatable characters make for a wonderful story. I literally felt like I could feel the emotions coming from the characters. What I wasn’t expecting either was the emotional rollercoaster ride but man it was worth the heartache I felt for Brian. This is Brian and Amanda’s story. He has a big secret he keeps hidden. He’s a one and done kinda guy and doesn’t let anyone in. He thought he was not looking for love but boy does that change when she walks into the room.. Amanda is one of those hopeless romantics who wants it all but its come at the worst time.

Its thought provoking and really makes you think. I know know and understand more about nuclear weapons and the power behind them and of course the political side. I’m glad I jumped into this not knowing what exactly to expect because I learned so much. I recommend reading this fast-paced book. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

A Forever Kind of Thing by Carrie Thomas and Melinda Harris

A Forever Kind of Thing is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance/YA that once I started reading I couldn’t stop reading and read it in one long sitting. I’m new to these authors but im already a fan. Their style of writing and attention to detail made me feel like I was back in high school dealing with all the things that are high school. Their characters are relatable, fully developed and made the story come to life and made it fun to read. Mina and Wes have been best friends since fifth grade. Mina was the target of being bullied by many and didn’t feel like she belonged. But Wes saved her in more than one way that is until he up and left with no goodbye or nothing. Lots changed in five years and when Wes reappears senior year she finds herself struggling to keep up the appearance. I truly enjoyed reading this book and fell in love with both Wes and Mina. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from both these authors.

As Though You Were Mine by J. Marie Rundquist

As Though You Were Mine is a wonderfully written Women’s Fiction that will take you on quite the emotional journey. I dove into this book with the mindset that it was going to be emotional so I had kleenexes right beside me and boy am I glad I did. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely interested in what else she has written. Her style of writing and attention to detail along with developed characters make for a wonderful story. This story is packed with drama, family drama, love, loss and grief plus so much more. Julie does a selfless thing and donates her eggs to her sister in law and brother who is having issues with infertility. But when tragedy strikes she finds herself with custody of four year old twins. She’s struggling trying to figure out how to raise these two kids and help them with their grief but shes grieving as well. Throw in a curve ball or two and we find our heart being pulled in several different directions. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens. Definitely have tissues and be prepared to laugh cry and go on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Deadly Vengeance (The Vaccaro Empire Collection Book 2) by Anise Storm

Deadly Vengeance is the second book in The Vaccaro Empire Series and is a Dark Romance that is packed with, suspense, drama, revenge, secrets, heartache, lies, family drama and so much more. I love a good Mafia Romance that grabs you from the beginning and has you turning the pages till the end. This is a author that I never hesitate picking up anything she writes. I’m a huge fan and each book is better and hotter, intense and raw than the last one. This one definitely checks all those boxes. There may be a few areas that may be a trigger warning for some but if you can push through them, I promise it’ll be worth it. Luca sets out on a quest to get revenge but it turns out to be way more than he ever expected. Valenzia pretty much has lived a sheltered life not knowing or understanding exactly what the family business is but has heard some things others have said. Luca and Valenzia are not friends at first that’s for sure. There’s some pretty tense moments that had me holding my breath. Can these two heal the past? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.
