Black Canvas is not your everyday psychological thriller. This is my favorite genre and this book has quickly climbed into my top favorite reads. It literally kept me on the edge of my seat trying to read faster just to see what happened next. The author tells this story in a way that keeps you guessing until the very last page. Pay attention because you won’t want to miss a single thing!

King Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 6) by India Kells
5 out of 5 Stars
In this series finale, the author is able to wrap up all loose ends and bring all the characters together. I enjoyed this series from beginning to end!
Lazarus King is the eldest of the bastard sons. Lazarus’ plan to find and end his father led him to find all 5 of the other brothers. Now as the danger is finally closing in with his father on the run, Lazarus has pushed everyone away, determined to finish their father on his own. The only person that stands in the way of that is Sasha Landry.
Sasha Landry came back to Chicago to rest. Sasha didn’t expect that coming back to the closest place she can call home would put her in the crosshairs of danger. Sasha has been off using her medical skills in some remote part of the world. She is back and decides to stay with a colleague from her time overseas. The last thing she expected was that her colleague turned out to be the mother of the one man Sasha can’t see to get out of her mind.
Together, Sasha and Lazarus must figure out the latest plan of his father while keeping the brother and their loved ones safe. Will Sasha’s resilience keep her safe? Can Lazarus let go enough to allow his brothers to help bring down the man that sired them?
The author does not disappoint in suspense or twists! There are lots of both to be had. Be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat until the end. The only bad thing about this book is that it is the end of the series and my time with these characters. I will always be a Dark Sparrow in my heart!

Master Trentino: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate #3) by Sylvia Black
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It won’t be my last either. I’ve loved every book in the Masters of the Consulate Series so far. Master Trentino is an amazing book and I certainly hope this series never ends.
Trentino is out to question Lazareth, but doesn’t make it in time. When he meets Angel he tells her that they’d meet again, he didn’t quite know what he was getting himself into. The quote I chose for Trentino is: “Unfortunately, but I’ll be back in a few hours. Can you make dinner arrangements for tomorrow? I’d like a table reserved for three at the Pleasure Palace, around eight p.m. I’m meeting with colleagues, and it can get pretty busy on a Friday night.”
Angel is caught by the mysterious Trentino and for some reason can’t help but fall for him. She is turned by him and really can’t seem to keep herself from him. She goes to her best friend when her store is broken into. The quote I chose for Angel is: “Absolutely not. Best friend or not, don’t make me regret telling you, Kelsey. If Roman finds out, I’m going to know exactly who ratted me out. The three of them are absolutely smothering me right now, and if they get wind of this? No, just no. I’ll get some security measures put in place and that’ll be the end of it. I’m twenty-three years old, I can take care of myself.”

This was a really good and well written book! Now I’ll admit, it took me about 30% of the way in to actually enjoy this and get into it, but once I did I was hooked. I loved the ending! It was great and kind of enthralling towards the last few chapters. The characters are interesting and it instantly grabbed me. I enjoyed the historical aspect of this clean romance novel. I also enjoyed the authors note at the end, where she describes how she was inspired and goes on to talk about the historical accuracy of this book. Overall I really enjoyed this book and wouldn’t mind reading the other installments of this series!
I have never read a book like this and it was sooooooo good! It seems that all men named Jace are hot, strong and romantic. This is a beautiful story of romance with a bit of mystery and crime. Surprisingly one of the main plots are surrounded in the setting of a train, my biggest fear and I still loved it! Historical fiction is becoming a favorite genre of mine. And this author really has me hooked to the characters and the romance. Falling in love with your brother in law? Give me more its so fun! This was an easy five stars. Do not judge this book by the cover, it is a beautiful story that is light and entertaining from beginning to end.
Cora Lee is such a doll. Sweet, caring, hard working with a good head on her shoulders. Jace is everything you could want in a guy. Strong, provider, protector, good morals and family oriented. I fell in love with most of the characters. This story is an easy read, joyful, exciting, and romantic. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I wasn’t sure how much I’d like a historical romance but This was such a great book. I didn’t want to put it down.

Cora Lee’s life ended as she knew it, her aunt passed away and left her penniless. She takes control of her life and decides to be a mail order bride. She gets on the train headed for Holiday, Oregon. A newly settled town, where her soon to be husband runs a ranch. Disappointed to be met by her future father-in-law and not her intended, Cora puts a smile on and keeps her hopes up. Will she ever meet her intended? Will she fall for Jace, the brother, and can they find their happy ever after? I don’t always appreciate historical stories, but as this one is based in my native state, Oregon, I grabbed it up. I enjoyed the emotions and hardships of life in the 1800’s. Sometimes I forget that no matter how “hard” I think life is, I was born in a time that everything comes easy to me, compared to so many years ago. I am putting this author on my TBR list.
This is the 2nd book in this great paranormal, vampire romance series. Technically each book can be read as a stand-alone but it will make for much better reading and more enjoyment if the series is read I order as there is a background story running along in the background of the romance storyline. We were introduced to Master Christian Tuscano and Delilah in the first book in the series and this book starts at the exact point where book one finishes. This time Tuscano and Delilah are the main characters but we do still have the characters from book one playing a large role in this book. I really enjoyed reading Tuscano and Delilah’s story. I was intrigued by both of them in book one and was glad that they got to tell their own story. I love that the book is written in dual POV so we get to see what’s going through the head of both main characters. I’m really gripped by the ongoing storyline of the vampires and their struggles with others that is running through this series. The author has done a great job of creating a great storyline with many twists and turns that keep you entertained and not wanting to put the book down. Book 3 is already waiting on my kindle for me to dive into and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Holiday Hope: Sweet Historical Holiday Romance is the first book in the Holiday Express book series. I enjoyed this historical romance and am glad I have found an author I had not read before. In the late 19th century Cora Lee has traveled to Holiday Oregan to be a mail-order bride. But, when the prospective groom is a no-show, will her heart find love elsewhere? I really liked the characters of Cora Lee and Jace. I enjoy historical fiction and this takes place during my favorite time period. I do not know much about the railroads but found the character of Jace and his job as a train engineer interesting. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.
This was really, truly a great way to start a new series. This author gave us so much in just one installment I can’t wait to see what she gives us in the next book. This story was full of drama, train robberies, love, danger, and kidnapping, and I just simply could not put it down. This author did such a beautiful job with this time period, set in the 1800s, this author clearly did her research and paid very close attention to detail. While this is not usually my kind of genre, this author really hooked me from the very beginning with her wonderful characters and attention to detail, I personally can’t wait to see what she gives us next.
Cora Lee Schuster is a young woman who has been left all alone after her parents died and with few prospects for work or her future where she is currently living, she decides to apply for the advertised position of a mail order bride. Jace Coleman is a young man who lives on his fathers ranch with his father and aunt, by day he is an engineer on the Holiday Express line where he works on the newest train, Hope and during his free time he helps out on the ranch and around the house as needed, he has always had a love of trains from childhood and has his dream job with the best hours he can get.
Cora Lee’s decision is quickly made and after corresponding with her betrothed, she packs up her things and takes the train to her future home of Holiday, Oregon, as she is travelling she ends up sitting in the same bunk as another young woman heading to the same place for the same reason and so the journey passes quickly as the two young women become fast friends. The journey isn’t completely without hitches, however, when Cora Lee arrives in Holiday, she expects to be meeting her future husband, but instead it is her future father in law complete with excuses that she will meet him as soon as he is back home.
Cora Lee says goodbye to her friend after having dinner at the local hotel and restaurant and goes with her future father in law to see where she will be living, when there, she meets his sister and decides to retire to her room until she has had chance to freshen up and rest before dinner. Later on, she hears voices and goes to investigate and hopefully introduce herself to her future husband, however, it is not to be and instead she is introduced to his brother Jace, she is as surprised to see him as he is to see her, but they are polite and courteous towards each other as the family have dinner and get to know each other. Later that evening after the ladies have retired, Jace asks his father why there is a mail order bride and what he thinks that his brother will get out of it, but his father has hopes that it will settle him down, even if Jace isn’t as hopeful.
As the weeks pass and Cora Lee becomes a fixture of the household, it is clear that her intended isn’t coming back to the house while she is there, but yet she doesn’t want to leave, meanwhile, Jace is fighting his attraction to Cora Lee and is finding it harder to stay away from her. Will Jace and Cora Lee allow themselves to listen to their hearts, or will they fight against what is right to maintain what is proper? This is a heart warming and sweet romance which gently draws you into the ranch and the lives of those who dwell within it, as you discover the meaning of a Christmas romance in the west.
Sandy has grown up with her parents, but when it is only her mother who is left to look after her, a new man comes onto the scene and becomes her mums live in boyfriend, but when one day he makes an abusive which move Sandy doesn’t appreciate or understand, she runs away and never returns.

Faith is the daughter of a preacher who travels on his tours around the world through his Ministry and sings hymns and songs to the crown, until she is brutally attacked by a man who takes what he wants and leaves her to deal with the consequences.
This is the story of three women from different walks of life and the shared experience which bound them together to create a bond which would last a lifetime when in 1965, Sandy, Faith and Becca meet in a Maternity Home Hospital in New Orleans, Mississippi and it is here that their stories intertwine as they have to acquiesce to the expectations of those around them and give up their babies for adoption so that life can go on as if nothing happened at all.
This therefore is a secret that these young women keep to themselves and try to continue to live their lives, until one day, twenty five years later it is brought back into the fore and threatens to topple the lives these women have worked hard to create. What will these women do to protect themselves from those around them and how did carrying this secret and ball of emotions affect their lives afterwards?

This book was outside my usual genre I prefer. I really enjoyed reading it. It was well written with all the twists in the story. The way the setting and characters were described was amazing. I can sense that the author has a deep understanding of the subject in the way he made it come alive.

This story was different than the usual holiday romances I read due to it being a period piece. I really liked the characters in this story and the slow burning romance as well. Being set in 1884, it was interesting the idea of a mail order bride and the way of life during this time. I also appreciated her formed friendship with Ann. This book definitely had some charm and I’m glad I picked it up to read.

This novel is well written and has a very diverse cast of characters. While I enjoyed the premise of the tale I found it lacking in detail and in answers. Why are these lost souls stuck and can they move on? Are they doomed to purgatory in Limbo forever? Thus I gave it 3 stars. I really feel there is more to this world that needs to be built upon and with a little more detail and a better back story this book could hit the best seller list. It is definitely a book I would love to see updated with more information. I can see a great story in between the lines and I really like the idea behind the scenes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming historical Christmas romance and was hooked from start to finish. This was a wonderfully written western romance which was full of the Christmas spirit, full of hope, humour, warmth and of course love. Following the death of her parents Cora Lee Schuster signs up to become a mail-order bride and has to travel across the country to the newly established town of Holiday, in Oregon. However, when she arrives she is met by her future father-in-law rather than her betrothed, and it soon becomes clear that he has no intention of marrying her. Cora is taken to the family ranch where she meets Jace Coleman, her betrothed’s brother. Jace loves trains and works as an engineer driving the Holiday Express line’s new engine, named Hope. When Cora arrives at his family’s ranch to marry his brother, Jace is suspicious and wonders if his father is matchmaking. As Cora and Jace spend time together, Jace finds it increasingly difficult not to fall for his brothers fiancé. Whilst Cora wishes she was Jace’s mail-order bride and not his brothers. This was an enjoyable and engaging read and I found myself happily turning the pages, completely immersed in the town of Holiday and it’s residents. The author really made both the era and the setting come alive through her descriptive narrative and all the small historical details. I fell in love with the likeable and relatable characters and was just hoping that Cora and Jace would get their HEA. This is the first in a series of holiday romances and I look forward to reading the rest of the series this festive season.

What a lovely way to spend a cool winter’s night by reading such a sweet little historical romance. I really got swept up into this book and could not put it down. I just love historical romances and this book really hit the spot.
The characters are very lovely and written so well. I like how the author is able to balance a bit of drama with the romance and create a lovely world. I love how it is set in the old west. The setting really adds to the story as well. This book is such a nice little romance and the characters have such a personable quality. I like how it has such a romantic ending and I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future. Reviewed by @caraleeloonat
I usually shy away from this genre but I’m so glad I took a chance with this book! Not only is a sweet romance, but the historical part isn’t too much. It’s written in a way that I can understand and identity with even though it’s set in the 1880’s. I knew from the first few chapters that Jace & Cora Lee would be a good couple. I was so glad the way things turned out for Jude, lol. This author is an excellent writer that writes in a way that makes the time period seem just as exciting as today.

If you are a fan of detective and romantic suspsense books then this one is for you. Throw a little pull at the heart strings and have some emotional, tear induced moments and you are all set. Fast paced read that you don’t want to put down. You start to fall in love with the main character a few chapters in, at first she comes off as smug and hard nosed but once you start to really get to know her story, your mind will be changed. Highly recommend this great read!

It has been a long time since I have read a book in this genre, a western set romance, but thanks to this wonderful author, I can tell you it wont be so long before I read another this time around. This new series has me captivated. In this first book we are brought the story of Cora Lee Schuster, a young woman in search of better life and mail order bride and Jace Coleman, a young man with a deep love of trains and being a train engineer. While Cora is intended for another true feelings develop between the two and with some shall we say adventure along the way Love will be found. This will truly warm your heart.

Tally and Jophiel are back at it again with a new adventure! We go the exact opposite of warm India to cold snowy Canada and its definitely a wild ride! We learn sledding with Tally and I adore the huskies. The village was a complete surprise and then for Tally to have to face the fear of losing someone else so soon after her mother’s death my heart went out to the girl. It’s another great story where we learn of more mystical beings and once again we see Tally being her strong and courageous self with the help Jophiel.

Hanging Softly in the Night: A Detective Nick Larson Novel AUDIO BOOK
By Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
5 stars
This audio book was such a fantastic listen! I wasn’t 100% sure when I first read the synopsis but once I started it I was hooked from beginning to end. The author’s writing was fantastic, so gripping and engaging – it didn’t change the whole way through the book either. The characters were complex and the story was multi layered – it honestly is one of the best books that I have listened to this year! I can’t believe I have never come cross this author previously but that will absolutely change now I cannot wait to get my hands on more of her work!
As well as the amazing story the narrator was great too, really brought the story to life! 1 100% recommend this audio book!

This series just keeps getting better and better. Each time I start a new book I honestly rhino there is no way it can top the last and each time it does. I love the story to this book. It pulled me in completely and I just had to dins out what was happening. The characters just added to this even more. They were so engaging and fit the story perfectly. This is one or those series that you honestly can’t describe enough to do it justice. I would highly recommend reading it as it is such a fantastic collection of books.

Oh oh Master Trentino – I think you may be my favourite! This author is for sure becoming one of my favourites! She definitely knows how to write dark paranormal and has certainly captured my interest in a genre that I’ve not really read much of previously! Trentino has to act fast when he finds Angel and I really liked reading about her as she recovered from her transformation. There was so much passion and chemistry between them but he knew he couldn’t act as he wanted. I loved the new friendships that were formed in this story also. The story is fairly fast paced and with some fantastic and unexpected twists and turns I couldn’t turn the page fast enough! Another wonderful book in this series and one that I 100% recommend!

Oh my what a wonderful read. I absolutely loved this book and have definitely found a new author to love! I was completely swept up in the story from beginning to end. There was so much going on and some of it quite unexpected which made the book even more exciting to read, it definitely felt like I was watching a movie at times with the authors wonderful attention to detail. I loved the characters Cora and Jace! Things were definitely unexpected with them considering Cora was meant to be marrying Jace’s brother but I adored them both! I loved the time period for the story too. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in this series and I would highly recommend this book to other readers.
This was such a good children’s book. Teaching that there is greatness in everyone is a good lesson for everyone to learn. My kids loved it. The main character being a cat made it even more adorable. My kids laughed and loved the pictures. The message was simple enough that my 5 year old understood what was going on and my 9 year old understood that little things can build up to bigger and better things! This author did a wonderful job! I’m glad to have it on my shelf for my kids to read over and over again!
What a lovely, sweet book! This is a historical fiction set in 1884. Cora Lee Schuster has lost her parents and is left alone with no money or real way to care for herself. She decides to become a mail order bride. She travels to Holiday, Oregon to marry Jude Coleman. Upon her arrival, his father, Grant, picks her up and takes her to their ranch.
