This is the first book I’ve read by the author. If I had a Magic Wand is a fun little read. If you’re a new mom to be or a mom of several this will make you feel loved.
This book I couldn’t choose a quote from because the entire book would be the quote. This book made me and my little one smile. I remember thinking along the same lines as the author.

This was an interesting book especially since I read this one without reading the first two books in the series so to say I was confused when it came to the backstories is an understatement. I still pushed through the book and tried my best to understand what was going on. The book itself was entertaining, but I still plan to go back and read the previous two books, and most likely read this one again just to make it all make sense! From what I gathered from how the book was written, the book focuses on Soraya who is now in charge of leading The Circle. She finds herself in quite a bit of situations of having to go and save people, replace those that were lost, and strengthen the ones that she still has. There is a lot going on with magic, a good vs evil point of view, people being removed from the land due to the color of their skin, broken relationships, and so much more. The characters are very well thought out and entertaining and you may find yourself relating to a character or two in this story. It’s hard to put down this book but, as I previously mentioned, it would be extremely beneficial to read the previous books before indulging yourself into this book!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Amaleigha and the Big Idea is a great little read for you and your family. Amaleigha reminded me of my daughter at that age.
Amaleigha is a five year old who likes being outside. She likes to be in nature. She runs around with no shoes because she likes it. She wants to share her special place. She gets her family to help her out and they build a Barefoot Park. I couldn’t choose a quote for Amaleigha because the entire book gives you exactly what you’d need.

I really enjoyed this romance. There is just the right mixture of hot steamy passion and danger to make this a great read. The characters are really well written and I love the connection between them the constant flirting and teasing really adds to the story. I could understand both sides of the arguments when it came to certain areas. Kate is a strong and independent woman so when she meets Chase and he trys to take over and protect her I can understand her resistance but at the same time I also understand Chase’s need to protect her. The twist in the story is one I did not see coming and I was very surprised at how it worked out.
Kate is tasked with working alongside Chase to build a new medical facility. She has always said she would never mix work with romance but when she falls for Chase she doesn’t even realise who he is. Now it is too late for her to walk away but little does she realise that just being with Chase puts her in danger but not for the reason you would think. Overall, despite the push and pull there is no denying the love and passion between Chase and Kate and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for them next.

5 Stars Freedom Rings (The Circle Book 3) by Brenda Hardwick
Freedom Rings is the third and final book in The Circle Series and I highly recommend reading the previous books if you haven’t already as they give a better understanding of what has happened and you get to know the characters better plus they are just as good as this one. The authors style of writing blows me away and her characters are real, relatable and fully developed plus they bring the story to life and made me feel like I was apart of the story. Get ready for a ride like no other as secrets are revealed and friendships are tested while lives are at stake. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. This is one you don’t want to miss. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

A beautiful story with positive words and meaning. A mothers love for her child and all that they could be. Each child receives a wish with love attached. It’s a true testament to wanting the best for your child and providing them with a life of love and more. A sweet story and a great family read.

The moment I saw this cover and read it’s synopsis I was eager to get my hands on this book. It was a beautiful and heartfelt story. It captured the familiar feeling of love when the timing may not be right, second chances, fate, and the beauty in us and around us. Phoebe and Enzo’s story is one that makes you smile as it brings out emotional tears along the way. It was amazing book and it definitely left an impression.

UGH. SO FREAKING GOOD. I ADORE Jake and Lily. Their banter? Hilarious. Their chemistry? Off the charts. Once I picked this bad boy up I just couldn’t put it down. The storyline was interesting but the chemistry kept pulling me back in. I love books that alternate the MCs viewpoints- it just gives me a better look into the characters and their development. Also the side characters? I ADORE Sam. I seriously loved this book and would have given it a 10 out of 10 if I wasn’t limited to 5. I’ve never read this author before and Im glad I have now! Check this one out y’all- so cute and so good.

New York Police Department’s Sixteenth Precinct in Manhattan is under siege by the flu, and Detective Nick Larson and his partner, Detective Victor Sacco, are up to their armpits with work overload. The captain’s cigar is seriously chewed, and everyone is working around the clock. To complicate matters, on a personal level, things aren’t going smoothly, either. Laura Howard, the woman Nick loves, is also having issues with a psycho twin sister who is doing everything to ruin Laura’s business and her life.
Then Nick’s captain assigns a new case, a suicide. From the moment Nick steps on scene, however, something doesn’t feel quite right, especially when, upon investigating the case further, the supposed suicide looks more and more like an actual homicide. Immediately, Nick’s instincts kick into gear, but rev into overdrive when similar, questionable suicides pop up around the area. And with the way things have been going lately, it would just be Nick’s luck to have a serial killer on the loose.
Set in New York City, Hanging Softly in the Night is a story of murder, mental illness, dedication, perseverance, and, ultimately, justice.

This is the first book I have read in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed how the reader found out things about what had happened in Adrik’s (also known as The Beast) past as he revealed them to his love interest. It’s sweet how they both have this desire for each other, and although he has worked for the family for years, Adrik has attempted to maintain his professional distance from Annika. The two have their individual traumas that both eventually feed into the events that unfold when Adrik and his best friend Tim are the two Bratva members assigned to be Annika’s personal guards when she begins receiving threating text messages. I am excited to go back and read the other works in this series! I have not read a book written by Mrs. Georgeson that didn’t have me hooked!

I’m not sure if there are spoilers in this book for the others in the series. At the beginning of the book the reader is introduced to Tenley, whose podcast is called TJ on Par. She wants her listeners to not mistake love for convenience, and views marriage as a business contract. TJ Mack (Teagan) is the self proclaimed guru of romance. Teagan says, “We fall in love by chance, but we stay in love by choice.” Tenley is challenged by Reagan to spend a week at Kamana Wanalya, which is a resort in Hawaii where he grew up. I loved this sweet story, and the way the characters were written kind of made me root for them all. I found myself wanting to know more about the side characters, so I may continue reading the other novels in the series. At the end of their time in Hawaii what new discoveries will be made? You’ll have to read it to find out

This is a beautifully written and illustrated story. It is a story of a mother’s wish for her child, passing the wishing wand from one mother to another – all the messages are just the same, a wand to vanquish all the struggles of a child’s life. It is a beautiful story, primarily written for the children to understand the struggle and the love of the parents. But the book adds a lot of meaning to an adult, or a mother or father who want the best for their kids. The language is poetic and lyrical. It was a very soothing, heart touching book.

Small eyes, big dreams. Amaleigha is a five year old who has big ideas. She loves spending time in nature. She runs barefoot in the woods, spends a lot of time gazing at the sky. She suddenly has this idea of sharing her experience with someone. She brings up the idea before her parents who whole heartedly support her. Her friends and family join in and together they make a big difference in the community! A cute story to remind children that you can start making a difference to this world at any age. The illustrations were very nice and the plot was neat. I loved the concept.

This author has really wowed me with her contemporary romances before but this one definitely takes the cake. The story really pulled my heart strings and took me on an emotional roller coaster ride. I smiled, I cried, I even laughed, but the characters and the plot were just simply amazing. One thing I really love about this author is she really has a way of writing characters that pull you straight into the story and you feel every emotion that they do. This book really had it all from romance, emotions, amazing chemistry I just simply couldn’t put it down.

I read this book to my 3 year-old and he loved it! This is the pirates vacation in the vacation series. It read like poetry but not too sing-song that a child would get bored. The book asks a great question of where do pirates go on vacation and do they need to. Each page had beautiful illustrations and added to the story. Recommended book!

I wasn’t sure how I felt about the book at the beginning as there were a lot of moving parts. At times, I had a hard time following the storyline. As the book progressed, characters made sense. The author did a great job at generating strong emotions for each character, whether it was love or disgust. The ending took me by surprise and it wrapped things up well.

Be careful, you are going to want to read this one all night staying up for the end of the story! My heart is so full.

I read The Sneaky Kitten to my 6 year old. He said it was strange, but good. He loved the pictures and kept pointing things out in them. He remembered Caspian from previous books and now wants to read the one where he got his hot cocoa socks. Stuck is a silly kitty with special powers. I love how colorful the pictures are, and that the book is multi generational.

Road to the Mansfield: Express Investigations Series #1 by CB Laurence
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author sure knows how to write. Road to Mansfield is the first book in the Express Investigations Series.
Francie left her home because her mom was dying. She didn’t know at the time that her momma was sick. It wasn’t until after she got to her new home she learned the truth. Now she’s being investigated because people around her keep dying. The quote I chose for Francie is: “I don’t know how I would have survived without you. It’s because of you Miss Claire doesn’t sell me. Not so far, anyway.”

This what book 5 in this series. I would have never known that this was book 5- as it was a good stand alone.
I didn’t know what I was getting into when I started this book. This is the first time I’ve ever read anything my Alice Bienia – I would absolutely read another one.
The main character- Jorja follows the final moments in a former law enforcement offices life when the current officers label his death an accident. Something about his death from the beginning is super suspicious!!
As she digs deeper into this death she realizes drawn in deep to Albertas notorious killer.
Fast pace. Page turner.
Absolutely would grab another one of her books to read soon!!!

This is the sweetest love story. It is about two paralympic athletes who are training by themselves at a ski lodge that is closed for renovations. They are the only two there with their trainer over Christmas. Both have reputations that proceed them, however, there is more to both of them than their reputations. I loved watching the two of them fall in love. I loved Sienna’s character and could definitely understand how she was feeling, especially about how she didn’t know what was going to happen with the rest of her life – just knowing that she was ready to stop being micromanaged. I truly enjoyed Connor’s character. I also loved how he was ready to be more than a party boy and a womanizer. I loved their banter and they were just so much fun. This was a very fast, easy read and I definitely loved reading about it snuggled up under the blanket by the tree. Its the perfect book if you are looking for something to read during the time between Christmas and New Year’s

This is an enjoyable, slow build romance that focuses on the journey of the characters. I was a little hesitant when starting this book as I knew that Paige was already married and I tend to find cheating storylines unnecessary. I didn’t need to worry though as the author didn’t take that route and I found myself engaging with the book and the characters. I really do enjoy a sports romance and this one was no different. This book is all about the characters and the situations they find themselves in. It was great to watch their development over time and to see which way their journey took them. The book was fairly slowed paced but worked well for the story the author was trying to create. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

I can’t believe it ended like that with the revelations just coming out like that. So much T just spilled there at the end by mom.

Amazing! Heartfelt, heartbreaking, and heartwarming all in one! Adrik is a loyal Popov boyveik, or soldier, and he has been for a long time. It’s the only place he ever felt accepted because of his facial deformities. He is known as the beast. From the moment he saw Annika Popov, the granddaughter of the Popov mafia leader, he knew he needed to get to know her. But she was off limits, and he wanted to shield her from having to see his deformed face. This is a love story, but it’s also a family story. The Popov family is strong and wealthy, and they worked very hard to be in that position. Adrik’s family, and family trauma, are nothing like the Popovs. Sadly, his past comes back to haunt him. Read this book if you love suspense, betrayal, family loyalty, and fighting for someone you love.
Wow. This was the perfect mix of dramatic, emotional, loving, exciting, dangerous, and relatable. Read this book! This is the first book in this series that I have read, but I can’t wait to read the rest! This book is about Leah and Dominik. Leah is a pop country singer with a secret past nobody knows about, while Dominik is a part of the Bratva brotherhood, his mob-like family businesses. Dominik is a thief, but he stole the wrong girl’s car, or so he thinks. Read their story! It is exciting and you won’t be able to put it down! I loved Dominik and Leah’s story and I know you will too! It’s the perfect combination of action and romance.
