Before You Say I Do by Marina Hanna – Review by Deborah Joseph

Before You Say I DoBefore You Say I Do by Marina Hanna
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Multi pov with some chapters having both POVs (Clearly labeled)

Before you say I do by Mariana Hanna is a fast burn. There is spice.

Emma- Bartender. Doesn’t want a relationship, and only has one nightstand due to her ex.

Liam- Lawyer “hottie” who doesn’t want anything serious but also wants only Emma.

The MCs met at a bar and after weeks of trying to get with her, the MMC finally got her information and had a chance. After having “fun” a few times they decided to become FWB- MMC idea- but both right away feel more of a connection than just FWB and don’t speak on it. There are twists in the plot and has a HEA ending even though it seems it might not. I personally didn’t care for the beginning of the book, but it did get better so if you are struggling just give it some time before deciding if you want to continue or not.

Mermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Deborah Joseph

Mermaid TailsMermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My daughters absolutely love mermaids so when I saw this book it was a no-brainer, I HAD to get it. It did not disappoint either! Both my girls loved this book and interacted with each page so easily. The author even includes little facts about each fish at the bottom. Between the imagination of what each mermaid could look like and the bright bold colors, my girls were instantly hooked and wanting more.

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series) by Alicia Street – Review by Deborah Joseph

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series Book 9)Make Me Burn by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a multi-pov book. There are multiple POVs in chapters too and the only telltale that it’s a new POV is a break in the page.

Logan- grumpy, workaholic. stopped trusting people due to an issue that happened between him and his ex-best friend.

Jinx- sleeps around with guys while waiting for her “larger-than-life true love” while also running a shop with her best friend.

This is a fast burn and there are spicy scenes in this book.

Overall the book wasn’t that bad. Make Me Burn by Alicia Street is the first book from the series I have read and will most likely read the others now. There’s drama, being reunited after so long, rekindling love, and finding out the truth for these two love birds and I am here for it!

THIS STORY DOES HAVE A HEA!

The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu – Review by Deborah Joseph

The Missing Red EnvelopesThe Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Missing Red Envelope by Yobe Qiu is based in New York City and is about the Lunar New Year. The story is about two sisters, Lorie- 13 and Weina- 9, and their lost lucky envelope. They had been trying to save up to buy their grandmother a present. The older sister didn’t show her anger though, and instead tried thinking of resolutions to try and find the lost lucky envelope. This is such a cute story that not only goes into detail to educate children on the Lunar New Year and their traditions, but is also a lesson that teaches if you just stop, breathe, and think you can resolve issues, but that you should also talk with your parents about them as well for help.

Hood of Sedna (Stevie Capot Chronicles) by Mina Skye – Review by Deborah Joseph

Hood of Sedna (Stevie Capot Chronicles Book 1)Hood of Sedna by Mina Skye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a multi POV story between Stevie, the cousins Sebastian and Gabriel, Shaw, and Jamison (only short POV for him) Some chapters have multi POV but are clearly labeled whose POV it is.)

Hood of Sedna by Mina Skye is the first book from this author that I have read. It has magic, shifters, fae, and more…. All the fun fantasy stuff one could ask for rolled up into one book. On top of the fantasy, there is also love, drama, and betrayal.

Stevie is a reincarnation of a beloved princess named Stephanie who was murdered. When she was reborn she didn’t remember anything at all from her past, not even her name, and moved around a lot due to the fact she never aged. The first family that brought her in when she was reborn is who gives her a name and also teaches her how to steal.

Sebastian and Gabriel both love Stephanie. Sebastian’s love for her was so strong that after she died he had his memory of her erased, this has caused some trouble for the two cousins since and many deaths.

Rowan Shaw is a bounty hunter who was tasked by the prince to find Stevie and keep her safe, but he is not who people think he is.

Jamison- a marshall who wants Stevie behind bars for theft.

There are a lot of twists throughout and it ends in a cliffhanger. Some parts of this story left me a bit confused and there were a bit too many POVs in some chapters but was an easy, quick, read.

~This is not my typical type of book I read so while I give it 3 stars others may enjoy it more and give it 5~
