High Heels And Mistletoe
By C.A. King

This is a quick holiday read. I enjoyed this story, the laughs, romance, great characters and a little bit of magic. This is a book I read in one sitting because I needed to know what was going to happen between Julietta and Luke. These two characters are opposites and they are definitely attracted to each other, but is that enough for them to become romantically involved? If you want to find out then you need to read this book. I was put right into the holiday spirit with this story and I recommend it.

The North Wind Descends (The Lord HaniMysteries Book 4) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Kerry Carr

The North Wind DescendsThe North Wind Descends by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Lord Hani  Mysteries series. I really can’t praise these books enough. They are full of Ancient Egyptian history and mystery which are my two favourite things. The authors knowledge of the time period is very good and they really give you a sense of what life would be like in the times of Ancient Egypt.

Lord Hani is back and when he is honoured by the king he wonders why? All through the kings reign Lord Hani has been a thorn in the kings side so why now is he being honoured. Things aren’t what they seem of that Hani is sure.

Add to this a task he is asked to complete with means getting his daughter involved in court politics and Hani struggles to protect her and keep her out of things.

Why did the king give him this honour? Can he protect his daughter and stop the court politics from involving her or is it too late to protect her anymore.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start this by saying that I read this entire book in one sitting. It is such an easy read and the way that the characters are written, it leaves you wanting to know more. I love that the author took the time for us to appreciate the main characters as individuals first before unfolding this love story. I started rooting for them from the very beginning. I won’t give anything away but it’s worth the read for sure!

Romance author Brooke May spends her days writing whatever her overactive imagination has brewed up and her evenings reading while she works alongside her mom. Telling stories is second natural to her, from a young age she has told anyone who would listen what she had thought up. Now, a mom of two, she splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her beloved Bighorn Mountains.

While on maternity leave with her youngest, Brooke was putting laundry away when she looked at a poem she had written in high school that was framed in her son’s bedroom. That poem triggered the idea of My Cowboy and soon she was sitting in front of her computer with her infant next to her writing her first love story that wasn’t a fanfiction.

King is a one click author for me and I always enjoy seeing how she easily navigates between several different genres. This book is a charming romantic comedy that puts King’s character building on display. From page one, I was endeared to the leading lady and her mysterious allergy. This holiday caper was full of wit, charm, and holiday cheer. Fantastic dialogue and plot pacing, this story will most definitely become part of my regular holiday reading. Loved every page!

The Dog Thief and Other Stories is the first book have read by Jill Kearney. It definitely won’t be the last. The twelve short stories are thoughtful and awe inspiring. I really enjoyed the stories about the dogs and a few cats. They got me thinking of some of my grandmas dogs. It brought back great memories of my childhood. Some of the stories brought to life hardships and different points of view. This book left me feeling good about the wa animals (pets) come and go throughout our life time. I highly recommend this book for all animal lovers.

The overall theme of the stories is about the animal and human relationship. Individual stories show the love, trust, and heartwarming of these relationships. The stories show the unconditional love from the pet to their human. There are life issues but it shows how the pets can heal each person differently. I was hooked from the beginning because I believe in the healing power of the love between the animal and human. If you are feeling down and out I recommend reading these stories because it will tug at your heartstrings.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Carmen Radtke is a new author to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This book has a solid storyline. This is accomplished by the detail writing by Carmen Radtke. Her characters are fully developed and complicated. The feeling I had reading this book is a fun cozy mystery story. I finished it in one sitting as I felt drawn into the story. I love the fact that it was done on water which makes this story even more interesting. Our main characters Frances and Jack are an act on a voyage ship doing a magic act. They were called into action when a passenger was murdered. Will Frances and Jack find the murderer? What else can possibly happen while investigating this murder? I highly recommend this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one surprises the heck out of me. There are many lovely, sensual and seductive moments in here. These two are OFF THE CHARTS! They are intoxicating! I couldn’t turn pages fast enough. Normally I favor the male character but in here they both rise to the top! I laughed, cried and got chills while taking this trip with these two. Completely Worth It!

Dominic is a great character. He has charisma and knows it. This man could meIt my heart/ears with his seductive words and kindness. I loved watching him change his tune about Lula and relationships. Lula is a dream! I can only picture her voice but man I would love to hear her sing! I think she feels like most women when it comes to men..not good looking enough. I loved watching her blossom.

Secondary characters are outstanding. They push, help and antagonize Dom and Lula! I enjoyed meeting the Adams boys/family and eagerly look forward to their stories.

Overall this is excellent and is a new favorite of mine. The characters are fun, sassy and entertaining. The story is sweet, sexy and romantic. I loved everything about this book!

Murder makes waves is book 3 of a series. I’m guessing you do not have to read the books in order because I haven’t read any others in the series and I didn’t feel lost. This was a good mystery book with great character and a good storyline. My favorite character of course is Uncle Sal. I feel like he made the book. I’m not a big mystery reader but I did enjoy reading the book. The author did a great job describing 1931. I would definitely recommend this read for the mystery lovers out there.

Talk about a page turner! I read this in about 3.5 hours. I couldn’t stop! The story drew me in. It’s dark and twisty…perfect thing to me up into the night. The characters are equally evil and complex. Did I laugh or cry at this? no but my eyes stayed glued to the pages anyway.

While this is the Nolan Mills series…Elle completely captivated me. We learn more about her as the story progresses. She comes of flakey but she is strong and impressively smart. Kacey I am not overly impressed with. He would be one that could be left behind. I know…I know they have a shared history. Yeah wrong choices and all that but not sure that forgiveness is the key with them.

I did enjoy the tasks that Dr Nolan gave them to work on. Great idea! I do look forward to more in this series. This is a twisty romantic thriller.

Its the story of Lula Stanley who is a literature teacher who is wanting to find her father. Lula is beautiful, smart and too worried about her low key life and lack of family to want romance.

Dominic can have any woman he wants but since he met Lula he doesn’t want anyone but her. Lula doesn’t thinks he has time for a relationship with all the secrets she’s finding out about her family. Dominic and Lula become close and he tries to help her find out what’s happened with her father. Will Lula let down her walls and let Dominic in. This is a sexy emotional read.

High Heels And Mistletoe
Kisses Under The Mistletoe
By C.A. King
☆☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Full length romance novel. During the right season, Christmas, this book is top notch. Even though someone’s plans don’t go as someone thought. I just can’t get over this sweet romance.

Juliette Romero’s idea of Christmas, is to be as far away as she can. Having many reasons, being allergic to mistletoe or the family curse, she stays away. She even plans her vacations around Christmas. That was fine with her. But this year has a whole other plan, that is standing in her way. The name is Luke Winslow, the company’s playboy and the boss’s son. Luke has never hooked up with a woman more than a roll between the sheets. But for some reason Juliette has him intrigued. He must figure out how to get the girl. But she wants to get the job, signed, sealed and delivered. Then move on to her vacation. Then there is Luke. Guess you need to read this story to find out what happens, as there is no spoiler here. I’m sure you will love it, as I do.

Well C.A. King has got a sweet story here. A real page turner as well. The characters are people we know. OK not personally, but I know a few people just like them. I have read several of the books written by C.A. King. She never disappoints! C.A.King is my go too writer, as I always find something in her many books. Well Done C.A. King! Well Done!

At Last: Adams Brothers: Book 1 by Mindy McKinley

I don’t even know where to start there are so many things I want to mention.

First,  all books taking place in Chicago must have the characters love the Cubs. 😁

Second, holy cow.  Totally didn’t expect things to play out the way they did for Lula and finding her father.  Think the build up was well written and it left me wanting more.

Third, where can I find a guy like Dom for my daughter?   If she were to bring home such a well mannered man who feels the way he does about family it would make me soooo happy.

I throughly enjoyed this book and wish I had read it slower to savor instead of reading as fast as i could to find out what happens next.

Looking forward to the next book.

This is a gut wrenching story of tragedy, coping, friendship and family.

There is good in all things, even tragedy. We don’t all see it the same way, we don’t all learn the same thing, and we don’t all see any good ever, tragedy or not.
I am speechless, heartbroken, but still speechless.
Molly does one heck of a job getting into this topic right from the start and she holds you there until the very last sentence. Very well done.

Love Heels! The TV News Business Can Be Murder is the third book in the PJ Santini Series by Lynne Russell. This is a private eye mystery with humor, family dynamics, murder, intrigue, tension, suspense, and that somewhat sarcastic sense of humour that I love about this series.
We met PJ Santini back in the first book. She’s a television news reporter and private eye. We follow her as this latest investigation as she is once again put through her paces.
As with the other two books, this was quite entertaining- keeping me flipping the pages to find out what happens next. PJ is a great character- along with her family and the other supporting cast- add the witty banter and this comedy has some really funny scenes.
The story was interesting, with cleverly crafted elements that made this book a memorable read.
Again, I can’t wait to see what PJ gets up to next!

Thank you, Lynne Russell!

Dreaming of Christmas is a collection of five festive novellas. I’m not always a massive fan of short stories, I like to have a bit more time to get to know the characters, but in this case I really enjoyed it! Each story was filled with wonderful characters and was a heartwarming tale. It’s the perfect type of book to dip in and out of. It’s especially good if you find you haven’t got a whole lot of time at the minute, it’s easy to read and doesn’t take long at all to get invested in the stories and the characters.
I’m a huge fan of Christmas themed romances, they really help get you into the spirit of things. If that’s the type of book you are looking for, I would definitely recommend this.

Starvation by Molly Fennig is a young adult story that tackles the sensitive topic of eating disorders- from a male perspective.
It is raw, honest, and at times very confronting. Molly Fennig doesn’t shy away from this difficult topic, giving a warts-and-all account that really made me sit up and take notice.
The story alternated from past to present and back again- theses transitions were seamlessly choreographed into a seamless and powerfully realistic story. We follow Wes as he grapples with his emotional turmoil, leading to an eating disorder- we witness as he is held in its grip- and look on as it takes over his life. Will he find a way through this experience and come out the other side. Or will it completely consume him. This is well worth the read to find out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

 

“I get a little excited when I start talking about playlists. In these pages you won’t find any transformational religious, political, or sexual experiences. You also won’t find a life-changing symbolic event resulting from a windy or tempestuous day. What you will find is a thoughtful rendering and reasonable analysis of some of the situations and events of my life along with a really good playlist.”

 

“Make your playlist personal. You are the artist here telling your story through music that has meaning to you. These mixes should be a collection of your thoughts and feelings and evoke memories of all that you’ve won and all that you’ve lost.”

 

“…music is everywhere. It’s in the grocery store and the dentist’s office as background noise. At a party or in a bar it’s part of the celebration. When a break-up or death occurs, it adds poignancy to pain. It’s everywhere. And as I’ve said, music is the prism through which I see life. You will soon learn as you go forward with this reading experience absent music, I could not form these letters, words, and concepts. Without judgment or recrimination, music has been my best teacher and friend. Life is always hard, sometimes unjust and often devoid of meaning, but it is my hope that in these pages you will feel the power of music to teach, heal and be a friend.”

 

The Last Playlist (A Sonic Epitaph) by P.A Kane is the author’s story- a journey through his life- with music at its core. This book is a collection of essays about events/periods of P.A Kane’s life which he then links to a song/music. He uses the song to partially narrate the essay and link the two together.
The essays cover many different periods in the author’s life, and many different topics- from growing up, to a social commentary of the times- with history, politics, life, death, humor, challenges, family, race, and much more- this book provided an interesting journey.
P.A Kane also provides some basic rules for making your own playlist- encouraging you to create something that speaks to you and reflects your life and feelings. His simple steps make it all seem quite easy- and had me itching to shuffle through my own collection of songs and albums.
A thought-provoking read.

Thank you, P.A Kane!

Grumbler's Ride (Satan's Devils MC San Diego #2)Grumbler’s Ride by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grumblers Ride is book 2 in the Satan’s Devils MC San Diego series, by Manda Mellet.

The story starts with Grumbler….who certainly earns his name at first. He’s an older member of the club and you get the impression he’s seen almost everything. His bike is his pride and joy, so when he agrees to it ‘modelling’ in a photo, he gets annoyed very quickly when his fee isn’t paid.
Mary is having the same problem, except it’s her daughter who’s waiting for her modelling fee. She didn’t want her seventeen year old daughter involved in this anyway, but there’s no going back now, and she deserves to be paid rather than conned.
Grumbler and his MC brothers soon come up with a plan, and when grumbler spends more time with Mary and Alicia, we begin to see the softer side to him….there’s more to him than his name lets on.
I loved the relationship between Grumbler and Mary, she softens his grumpiness and he brings her out of her shell and shows her there’s more to life that she’s been missing out on. I would recommend this story, and can’t wait to read more books in the series now.
