Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I so enjoyed the push and pull in this story between Lilly and Jake. Both have reasons to be how they are but sometimes it’s worth taking a chance again. The chemistry between these two was felt so strong and rightfully so. I love a book that can make me laugh as well as feel all the range of emotions. Must read!

I absolutely adored this book. It’s Christmas time and this put me right in the mood. I felt like I was watching a movie play out as I read and wasn’t disappointed at all.

This book was amazing and hard to put down. The character development and constant changes made it a wonderful read.

When she gets pushed by her family to try a ridiculously seeming process that is a little wild, she just could not turn that down.
Finn is famous and with a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts and underwear. What happens when he needs to switch up his image? Finn never imagined getting married and now he is doing it to reform his image.
What happens when the producers find him the perfect woman? Will she be able to change him and steal his heart? Can two people from different worlds play nice? Read to find out.
Freedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brenda Hardwick’s Freedom Rings is the third book to The Circle fantasy series. I cannot say that I have read the two previous books beforehand. However, I am definitely intrigued to do so after reading this book to get the full scope. I was still able to follow along well enough and was completely enamored by the storyline and most of the main characters, even if there were a few gaps for me. I especially adored Soraya, with whom we get to share her journey of growth in power and leadership and fight against this hatred of people of color.
I absolutely recommend checking out this series if you are at all intrigued by witches and magic, good and evil. The writing was fantastic, with a strong and descriptive narrative. So, if you’re a fantasy fan, don’t deprive yourself! Check out The Circle series by Brenda Hardwick!
Freedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story was incredibly fast paced with enough items to keep your flipping the pages to the end. Full of amazing characters, a great plot, and of course good vs. evil, this book was the perfect way to end a trilogy. One of my favorite things about this story is that it is told from multiple povs, having multiple povs really gives you the book as a whole. But this book was such a perfect ending to a trilogy that if you haven’t read the whole trilogy I not only recommend book three but I definitely recommend books one and two as well.
Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience Hollywood Romance by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a fun and fast read. A lot of the books I read I pick based on synopsis, but this one drew me in with just its cover and once I started I didn’t want to put it down. But this fun and humorous read definitely did not disappoint. The characters were well developed, funny, and overall realistic. The story as a whole was refreshing and different, and did I mention that the cover draws your right in? So if you’re looking for a quick read with some humor and romance make sure you pick this one up today.
And Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m a sucker for a good psychological thriller, and this met all of my criteria. I felt an emotional connection to Catherine, the main character in this book. It is difficult for me to really delve emotionally into a novel, but this author managed to pull me in: hook, line, and sinker. Being a mom can be incredibly difficult but being a mother of a child that has passed has to be a million times more difficult. I think becoming a mom for the first time has really put that into perspective for me.
Enough about myself.. this novel is spectacular and I highly recommend for anyone who loves a good psychological thriller. The characters, plot, and emotion in this novel will leave you wanting to read until you finish it.

Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a wonderfully illustrated book that helps provide parents with many talking points they can use with their children in multiple child households. This story shows how a family of four, a boy and a girl, have lots of sibling rivalry, and have a really hard time getting along with each other until it comes time to agree to disagree. I’ve read many books by this author and I have really enjoyed them all. I love to share them with my children and we usually have a really good time talking about them.

The Daredevil by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such an amazing book. I’ve read a few of the authors books and they never disappoint. This book is about two people who start out as friends into romance! If you love a good book that’s all about twists, turns, suspense, and romance then this is the book for you. The story line you could tell the author put a lot of thought and effort in. I highly recommend this book.

Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Carl and Mira are siblings and also enemies. When one wants to go swimming, the other wants to climb trees. When one wants to play Wildcraft, the other wants to play Labyrinth. One wants to be a superhero while the other wants to be a super villain.
They go to the beach and Mira continuously smashes the sandcastles that Carl makes. Each time he tries to improve them so that his sister will not be able to destroy them easily.
By the end, the two siblings agree to come back to the beach the next day.
This was a bit accurate when it comes to siblings. And the artwork is really nice. I feel like it ends abruptly but I think it is because the two finally agree on something.
The Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Hawke Family Complete Collection
This series is absolutely addicting. Savage Collision was my introduction to the author and I was hooked almost from the beginning, the fact it takes place in New Orleans made me live it a bit more.
Savage Collision – Danika Eriksson is a reporter for the Times and she barges into Savage Hawke’s office to confront him for “forcing” her sister to work at his club and drop out of school at Tulane.
Tortured Skye – Skye Hawke is Savage’s younger sister who has been emotionally withdrawn from her family and everyone after her twin sister Star was killed in an accident. Gabe Anderson is Savage’s childhood best friend and has watched Skye grow from a kid into the beautiful woman.
Stone Sober – Stone has an ego the size of Texas and doesn’t do anything to hide it but he seriously meets the one person to stand up to him and bring him to his knees all at once. Stone’s successful, financially stable and a total Alpha which adds to the hotness level. There were twists I didn’t see coming. I believe my jaw hit the ground during on particular scene
Building Storm – Storm reminded me of a phoenix rising from the ashes from the moment I started reading this book. Storm is having to learn how to live a new normal but thankfully she’s not alone. Her family is amazing through it all. I think I was crying or fighting tears through most of this book, made me think if a friend who is two months into this exact same journey.
There are so many raw emotional moments from the beginning to the end. I have loved this series from word one but there was something about this book that grabbed me.
Tainted Saint – Saint captured my heart in this story for a few reasons. He is strong, protective and has a heart a gold. Also the fact he represented the Who Dat Nation didn’t hurt. 😁
Caroline is similar to Dani in personality which is helpful since they’re best friends. She gets a “brilliant” idea which could end up costing her and others everything though her heart was in the right place.
Steele Resolve – Bryon and Steele are a couple I want to hang out, actually I would love to hang out with the entire Hawke Family. They just seem like a group that knows how to have a lot of fun and each one of them love their partner and family like there is no one else.
Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a story detailing your typical brother/sister relationship at an early age. I loved it and I laughed the entire time. This reminded me of myself honestly. As the oldest child I was always the one that sabotaged anything my siblings did. And no matter how mad they were at me at the time we always laughed about it. And when we reminisce on those times now it still brings us immense joy and laughter. This story was no different from the trips to the beach we took. We would all spend our time making the most elaborate sandcastles just for our siblings to do anything they could to tear it down. It made beach days a blast. I love how the author was able to resonate on so many levels with me. I think this story will be an enjoyable book for parents to read to their children. It will not only bring laughs but also give parents a chance to teach their kids that no matter what siblings say, and do we are still family, and it is important to laugh off any anger. Another delightful story from a wonderful author I highly recommend.
Freedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is book three in the fantasy series by this author. I have fallen in love with this series and could not wait to get my hands on this book. While these can be read as stand-alone stories, I feel to get the most of it you need to read the books in order. I think this will give you a better understanding of the story and the characters. Now, just as with the previous two books the author did a wonderful job pulling me into the story with her amazing characters. I feel like she personally connects with these characters just as I did. She does a wonderful job of making these characters so relatable and understanding. And the way that she uses them to tell this story is wonderful. Another remarkable story that I could not put down.
Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience Hollywood Romance by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the second book in this series from an author I am quite familiar with as I try to read all her books. Since I started reading her books I have found that I cannot put them down because she pulls me in from the beginning chapter. This was no different. She has a way of making these characters feel like they are friends or family that you have known your entire life. I loved that she took a reality TV show and made it seem like something that I would want to do. Except I do not think I would ever be able to marry someone I have never met. That to me just seems like an accident waiting to happen. The main characters in this book were steaming up the pages with their chemistry. This was the one thing I questioned because while you can immediately have chemistry with someone I just do not believe it is possible to be “in love.” More like be in lust with one another. And while that may have been the actual case with these characters they did end up with an amazing love story. It was quite a satisfying ending I thought. I highly suggest you read this book as well as her others if you are ready to laugh, cry and wet yourself laughing aloud. Delightful story. Cannot wait to read book three in this series.

I am so glad I was about to enjoy this book. Even with it being the third in a series, it was a great stand alone. The characters show the author’s attention to detail. I found myself relating to them. This book was well written and entertaining. I will be reading the others in this series.

Where Do Pirates Go on Vacation? : Fun pirate story that encourages imaginative and creative thinking. Ages 3 to 8, preschool to 2nd grade. by Kim Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Minotaur’s Lair by Luciana Cavallaro
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Greek mythology retelling that leads into epic twists and turns. A good continuation of the first two books and a journey for a third relic to regain the Olympian favor in a twist to rewrite history. Taking place in Ancient Greece, the story leads through familiar characters with a brand new twist designed to captivate at every turn.
Writing as sharp and calculated as steel, Cavallaro wins again with this final installment. A satisfying end with a bittersweet feel hits hard. Very good read.

My sister and I bickered back and forth quite a bit when we were young, so this book brought back those memories. It is a silly book, kind of funny for an adult, and possibly helpful to a child. Possibly. Great illustrations.
The Husbands by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is truly one of my favorite authors and I absolutely hands down LOVED this book so much. This is more of a contemporary romance, which is a different spin than what I am used to reading from this author, but also just as fabulous!!
What happens when something so unexpected that may turn out as a possible disaster lead to a spark of love? While in Hawaii for a job, Dorian has it all planned to do his job and head on home to his wife. When the job does not go as originally planned that leads him to meet Augustine. When Dorian and Augustine get to know each other, the sizzle between them is off the charts…but end up abruptly leaving Hawaii. Years later, upon a random chance, both Dorian and Augustine’s wives meet each other, then this goes to both Dorian and Augustine meeting each other again. Lots of laughs, get togethers, ideas and such that both couples become very friends. When a job puts everyone in danger that Dorian is working…this leads to a snowball of events. Will the couples survive and will there be any chance at romance?
It is hard not to give any spoilers …….I could talk about this book forever…..this is a definite must read in my eyes! Danger, romance, spark……….this story flowed so easily and hard to put down. Thank you Ms. Naomi Valkyrie for another fabulous story!

In this second installment of the series, the author presents a page-turning mystery. The story picks up shortly after the ending of the first book, which I admittedly didn’t get a chance to read yet. However, that did not stop me from understanding the storyline or the characters in book 2. Great story, interesting characters, and a slow building relationship!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this book! Full of feelings and understanding. If you’ve been following this series, this book is organized differently from the rest. Joker is a member of the Satan’s Devils Vegas chapter, then he transfers to the Tucson chapter.. This is his new family. What they don’t know, is that his own family has shunned him and despised him into seeking acceptance anywhere else but at home. Joker hides his true self because he has been convinced that he is an abomination. Lady’s Man is new to the Satan’s Devils MC. And Joker hates his guts. He’s never done anything to make him dislike him, so he’s concerned. Lady’s Man doesn’t know that he is Joker’s only chance at being able to accept who he is and possibly learn to love himself. Read this book, it changed my perspective and made me understand love in more clarity. This book has aggressive moments, parts where people fall apart, and times where they are put back together.
Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience Hollywood Romance by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such a cute story! We have the playboy actor who gets caught in a compromising position who’s trying to save his rep. His leading lady (aka HEA) is a regular woman who’s spent a good part of her recent life dedicated to her sister. Very different personalities that are trying to accomplish a goal. The dual POV helps the reader get to know the characters and connect with the story. This is the second book in this series but can be read as a standalone. So good!

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider
Nite Fire : Exit Strategy (Audiobook) is the fifth and final book in this series. Im a huge fan of this author and this series has been one of the best I’ve listened/read in a while. Its definitely going on my re-read/listen list. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and keeping my attention throughout the story. I didn’t what to stop listening I had to know what was going to happen next. All good things must come to an end but not if Dahlia can help it. Half her team is missing and she’s in a race against time. Can she find a way to save what remains of this new reality before the Renewal extinguishes all that is left? I loved everything about this story and the ending blew me away. I highly recommend listening to this book to find out what happens next. If you haven’t started this series I highly recommend starting with the first book and reading/listening in order. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

I went in blind and enjoyed this book immensely. Sadly I have to read 1 and 2 for the full effect, but this book itself was amazing. I adore anything related to Greek Gods, mythology, philosophy, fables, and stories being retold with a twist. There was so much depth and detail which truly enhanced the journey!
Super Enemies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was soo much fun! Great illustrations, relatable lessons, and all around read. Having 3 girls who fight like everyday is a dual to the death and every moment is a competition it was fun to read it to them. The best way to help kids understand is a story like this. A fun side to sibling rivalry and what it’d really like being siblings.

AH! What a CUTE read. I love finding books that my daughter and I can enjoy together. This was such a fun read- I loved ladybugs as a kid and thanks to this book I know how I kept killing them. 😂 I had no idea they stay dormant during the winter. I love not only reading with the kiddo- but learning with her! I’m excited to find a new author that my baby and I can share books with. She’s 4 and she loved it! (:
Falling Home by Libby Kay

A sweet second chance Christmas romance!
Ginny is returning to her sleepy hometown of Buckeye Falls, to support her Dad after his hip surgery. The likelihood of running into her ex-husband, Max, is high but Ginny is determined to avoid him, help her dad recover and get back to work in New York City. Max has never stopped loving Ginny and realises that this may be his last chance to get her back.
I fell in love with Ginny and Max within the first few pages!
The friendships around both Ginny and Max were so endearing and really made the heart feels flow. This was so much more than I expected.
Libby Kay is now a must-read author for me!
Very much looking forward to reading the next in this series.
Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was the second book to the series, and it did not disappoint just like the first one. Recommend reading the first book in the series first thou. This book was just as enjoyable as the first one. I really enjoyed this book adventure, with historical fantasy, paranormal, some mystery. The book is quite a fast paced which kept me wanting to know what happened next but always surprised me, and really held me attention. The story line and plot were very thought out and the fast pace and growth with it made it very enjoyable. The characters are extremally well written that fit perfectly into the story with each other. Elinor is a very strong will women that talks to ghosts and tries to help with finding out what has happened. The connection between both Elinor and the Duke is more in depth with this story which I found a nice little instalment and entertaining read. Highly recommend this book.
