Love Tools (Bluestone Series Book 1) by Isobel Reed

Love Tools is the first book in Bluestone series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that I freaking loved reading. I was pulled in from the beginning and I pretty much devoured this book in one sitting. I’m fairly new to this author but I’m definitely interested in finding out what other books they have written. This is Lilly and Jake’s story, she has a habit of picking the wrong men to date and now finds herself in Bluestone running her estranged father’s hardware store. Jake has one love of his life and that’s his ranch he’s considered the king of casual until he meets her. Now he can’t stop thinking about the mouthy blonde and must convince her somehow that he’s not the other men she’s dated in the past. Can Jake show her what a real relationship should look like? Can Lilly open her heart and let Jake in? I highly recommend reading this fast paced story to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2)Reckless Heart by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book two of the series but can be read as a standalone. This is a contemporary second chance romance.

Mary and Brad were friends growing up until Mary broke Brad’s heart. Brad is back in town for his sister’s wedding and still holds onto his hurt feelings from all those years ago. Mary is fresh off of a break up ready to do her own thing. Thanks to a mutual friend, Mary and Brad reconnect but it’s not as easy as that. They are forced to face the past and all of the hurt and misunderstandings. Will the crushes they both had lead them to a second chance?

I really enjoyed this book! Mary’s character was relatable. Brad was a little harder to like but his holding on to the grudge he had against Mary worked for the storyline. Overall it was a good book!

As a sailor whose life is centered around canvas sails and the sea, the last person Isaac ever expects to find in a fairytale is, well… himself. Yet here he stands, on the edge of the River from the storybook his mother used to read to him as a child, watching it flow from one world to another as far as his eyes can see. Adding to this absurdity, he’s been dragged here by a beautiful, green fairy with vines for hair and an explosive anger problem—yes, explosive. Also, he had to fight a vicious little old man and his air dragon to get to this point.

How much more will he have to face before he can return to his dinners of mashed potatoes and turkey? His adventure couldn’t possibly include giant worms, massive flowers with eyes, clairvoyants, shapeshifters, or that terrifying man Isaac calls Snowman…

Could it?

Arabella Brightley never wanted to be the lady of a grand house. But when her eldest sister marries and leaves England, Bella takes on that role. At least for now. With a male cousin set to inherit Cortwood Manor, Bella focuses on her youngest sister’s forthcoming first season: a task for which she is ill-prepared. The shyest of the Brightley sisters, Bella has occupied her time with novels, sewing, and dabbling in her late mother’s mysterious book of herbal remedies and family folklore. 

While a suitable match for Rosalind is imperative, Bella plans to remain alone. The man she loved, the Duke of Rigby’s son, disappeared while riding across Hampstead Heath to see her at Cortwood. Convinced her romantic life has been cursed, Bella fears any gentleman who loves her will meet a similar fate. 

Until the night he returns. 

Thomas Beecham has spent the past year in service, paying off a debt his father incurred to the steel-willed Lord Trenholm. Thomas has allowed Bella to assume he is dead for her safety, but his desire has never faded. So when an opportunity to reveal himself presents itself, Thomas can’t resist, even as he continues to keep his worst secrets from her. For Thomas Beecham is not who Bella thinks. And the truth could destroy any chance he had of winning her back.

Lily is running. From a dead-end job, a neurotic mother and all the losers she dared to date. Moving halfway across the world to Bluestone County seemed like a good idea at the time. So did reopening her estranged father’s hardware store. But now she isn’t so sure. 

Small town living has its perks though. Wide-open space, clean air, and sexy cowboys. Well, one sexy cowboy. Jake. Who also just so happens to be the new bane of her existence. At least when he’s not talking, she can admire the view.  

Jake is the king of casual. The love of his life has always been his ranch, and that was fine with him. He never really saw the point in long-term. But all that changes when a mouthy, blonde sasses him into oblivion. He should have known she’d be trouble as soon as he laid eyes on her. Now it’s too late. She’s all he can think about. All he has to do is convince her that he’s finally the right man. 

Isobel Reed’s hilarious, emotionally charged romance will have you holding your side with laughter or reaching for a tissue. Reminiscent of small-town romance by Tessa Bailey or Kristen Ashley, you will fall in love with LOVE TOOLS and Isobel Reed’s unique writing style.

The Sneaky Kitten (Invisible Magic Wand Book #4) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Angela Hayes

The Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book FourThe Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book Four by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

The Sneaky Kitten is the fourth book in the Invisible Magic Wand Series by Lois Wickstrom. It is a captivating children’s fantasy story that has a really cute storyline, bright/colourful illustrations, plenty of fun, and adventure- with just a touch of sci-fi and magic.
Caspian and Grandpa notice a frisbee fly by and Caspian really wants to play with it. But when they find it, they also find a kitten who is stuck up a tree. They set out to rescue the kitten, and so their adventure begins. The kitten and frisbee are much more than they appear.
This quirky story was imaginative, engaging and fun.
Looking forward to more ‘Invisible Magic Wand’ instalments.
Happy reading…

Another great read by Lois Wickstrom! Caspian and Grandpa are out for a walk when a frisbee comes whirring by them. It gets stuck up in a tree and Caspian realizes he can’t reach it. Then he remembers his hot chocolate socks Grandpa gave him so he runs home to put them on. When he returns, he’s able to retrieve the frisbee but gets so much more in return when a sneaky little kitten is also stuck up in the tree.

Super cute book but you might have to let the kiddos know that hot chocolate socks aren’t actually a thing! 😉

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mary and Brad have some history together but not the kind that Brad was really wanting to have. His heart was broken by Mary right before prom when she chose another man. Such is the life of men all over the country today. However, in the case of Mary and Brad, they are given an second chance at love when a well-meaning friend brings them back together.

I enjoy reading books by this author. They are real, raw, clean romance novels that have you feeling like you are a part of the story, or at least watching from the closest armchair. The characters are relatable and you’ll be cheering them on in their journey. There are a lot of ups and downs but in the end, the second chance is worth it!

Have you ever had a lost love story that you’d like to have a second chance on?

This was a really cute book! It wasn’t very realistic, but it had a good story to it and cute illustrations. I think this would be a book that could make kids laugh. I would love to read this to my daughter but she’s too young to care or understand what’s going on. I would recommend this to any young child! This author hardly ever disappoints when it comes to children’s stories and this one wasn’t a disappointment!

I adored this second chance romance. The characters were lovable, the storyline believable, and the setting endearing. Brad and Mary missed their chance in high school, will they have better luck ten years later?  Jane Suen has an engaging style that pulls you right in. I loved this sweet little tale.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good second-chance romance!

Brad and Mary had crushes on each other back in high school (even if they never admitted it to each other)…but Mary ended up dating Brad’s friend Jim. As soon as Brad could leave after graduation, he did. He has been busy growing his own business while keeping the past in the past. However, a return home for a wedding changes all that.

Mary has just experienced a break-up and is single and ready to mingle. When she is pushed together with her past crush at her sister’s wedding, she is ready to see what kind of fun she can have. When Brad and Mary get to reminiscing about the past, will they be able to move past the misunderstandings of their younger selves? Do they have a future? Or is whatever they could have had doomed by the past?

This was quick read that I enjoyed spending time with. This is the second book in the series…with some crossover characters…but you don’t have to have read the first one to understand what is happening. I think both characters were relatable and their story made for entertaining reading. Overall, a good book.

An easy, sweet read. The author does a wonderful job creating a setting and developing characters in such a short read!

Mary and Brad are believable characters and the reader can feel their struggle and tension with one another as they hold on to pain from the past. Coming back into each other’s lives wasn’t what they had planned, but can they work through the pain from the past to have something better than they ever had?

This is a sweet, clean story about second chances and a journey through healing wounds from the past. It is an easy, quick read that keeps your attention and is easily finished in one sitting and is recommended if you looking to pick this one up!

Reckless Heart (Second chance romance series Book 2)

I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to read other books by this author and enjoyed each of them. She hasn’t pigeon holed herself in one genre which means you never know what she will be releasing next.

The local cupid is working her magic to help two hearts reconnect after several years apart and she’s pretty slick. I even fell for it.

Mary and Brad have some pain associated with the other but even after more than ten years those wounds aren’t completely healed.

Mary keeps way too much to herself and I wish she had reached out to her sister or anyone really.

Brad probably keeps way too much to himself too, but I think he reason is a little different. He’s a good guy with a great heart.

Looking forward to what comes next from her.

I read Beast in one day. I kept telling myself ok one more chapter then I’m going to stop. Next thing I know it’s 2 am and I’ve finished the book. What I enjoyed most about this story is that Adrik’s past was revealed in little pieces. It kept me reading. When the whole story of his childhood was revealed my heart hurt for him. Annika is such a treasure. I enjoyed her character a lot. She’s had her fair share of trauma but she’s strong. It was like their lives led them to each other. This was a good read worth the lack of sleep.

Words have escaped me when it comes to this book! I love the underlying message of the book, that everyone has magic inside of them, but not the kind of magic one would think! This is such an important book to read to little ones, it will instill self confidence in them from an early age. The illustrations were also beautifully done, and I loved how they were inclusive of many different ethnicities and cultural groups in them. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has children!

Amaleigha and the Big Idea by Janice Pratt – Review by Jamie Burns

/0 Comments/in /by

Amaleigha loves everything about nature, playing outside, exploring the wonderful world around her- even the tiniest parts (insects), and watching the seasons change. There are many things that I adore about this book! First, let’s start with the fact that I was Amaleigha… Growing up, I was always playing outside, going on adventures, and building things out of items I found outside. Secondly, I love the rich vocabulary that is used throughout the book. As a teacher, I could think of many ELA lessons that could be tied to this book. As a school librarian, I loved the detailed illustrations created by Alina Kralia. Kralia’s detailed illustrations ensure that children can see the wonderful world of nature that Amaleigha loves. Readers can see the changes in seasons throughout the book as they explore the world with Amaleigha. The thing that I love most is the message that even though you are young, you can still do great things like Amaleigha.

This is a delightful book for any nature lover, it makes me just want to get outside right now and explore! I think this book would be fantastic to share while on an adventure with your little one. Take a blanket and Amaleigha’s Big Idea outside to enjoy, then go on a mini adventure of your own. Build a love of nature and books within your child! 🙂

I would give this book more stars if I could because I absolutely loved it!

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2) by Jane Suen

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Reckless Heart is the second book in the Second Chance Romance Series. Reckless Heart is a great read. The author knows how to build words.

Mary has broken up with her long term boyfriend. Right before her sister’s wedding. Now she’s single and her old high school crush is back in town. Can they hash out the past and move forward with the future? The quote I chose for Mary is: “You’re planning to expand?”

Brad is back in town for Katie’s wedding. He doesn’t plan on sticking around for long. Then a friend sets him up with the one who broke his heart. Can he get past that and everything else that has happened? The quote I chose for Brad is: “Kell? She’s long gone. Kell almost broke me, pulling a stunt behind my back. She was ruthless, aggressive, and greedy, and became a competitor who’d do anything to get an edge on a business she was secretly setting up. And that’s what she did. Double-crossed me. In hindsight, it was a hard lesson. I’d trusted her again, but I learned from it, and in the end, I became a better person, and the business is in a better place.”

Highly recommended for Sweet Romance lovers.

Revenge Never Rests (Tallie Brown Suspense Book 2) by Laurie Lewis. I loved this book just like I loved the first one. I do recommend reading the first book before this one to better understand what is happening. Its the story of Tallie Brown who is strong and independent but when she sets out to help many people who have been kidnapped or drugged she realizes she may be in over her head. With Tallie realizing she could have had a whole different life if circumstances were different in her past is hard for her to swallow. Fast paced, full of action, crime, kidnapping and intrigue keeps you flipping pages late in the night. You will root for Tallie all through this book and the adventure it takes you on is fast paced and very interesting. Do yourself a favor and read the Tallie Brown Series today!

Another great open ended book for children. One I can honestly say kids will love. Caspian sees a kitten stuck in a tree. Using his gifts from his grandfather, he is on the rescue. This author has children in mind when she writes her stories. She encourages the children to interact with the story as well. I have recommended this to many of my grandchildren and they LOVED it too.

This was a quick read and enjoyable – it was my airplane read this last weekend. I enjoyed the characters and thier connection with each other. Austin leaves his broken heart behind and moves to Chicago for a new job. While there, he finds new love in Casey – a friend from the past. They will have to learn to grow together… but they are really good for each other. This is a second book in a trilogy – I didn’t read book one, but wished I had. I think the story of Austin would have been more meaningful to me if I had.

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, this book was just what I needed! “Practically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living is an inspirational, self-help guide to opening up your own magic. I am formally of the Pagan faith, meaning I have not practiced in some time. However, lately a lot of my life has been leading me back to this way of thinking, believing, and living. I haven’t quite dived fully back in, but as I was pondering my next moves in life, this was the book I happened to stumble upon. The author says, that there is no coincidence that I was reading this book and I believe her. Now, I have read many of these types of books, but this one seemed a little different. One, I like how she gave background and explained the perspective that she is coming from. She makes it clear the message, but also allows you space for your own pagan awakening. Two, I love an author who gets personal with you. She provides her story about how she rediscovers the magic in her life. Her story was very relatable as I was reading, but I also realized I have already made many of the changes she speaks of having to do to heal. She provides a guide of where to start, what to look for, and that it is hard work, not only to recognize and wake up the magic within us, but to maintain that magic. Last, but not least, she discusses very easy ways to rid “toxins” from your life, making a routine to allow yourself time to enjoy life, and most importantly the importance of self-care. I was happy after reading that I am on a “cleansing” path and I hope to continue to awaken the magic within myself, and find the enjoyable ways that life is supposed to present us.

Kamana Wanalaya for the HolidaysKamana Wanalaya for the Holidays by Susan Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an entertaining book! I was hooked right away by the humor and the witty playful banter between the two characters. Tenley and Teagen have very opposite opinions when it comes to love. They both have podcasts on the subject.
When Teagen inadvertently invites Tenley on a romantic retreat in Hawaii, things don’t go as planned for either one of them.
Their story is fun and entertaining, and the author tells a wonderful story. While the story is centered around the Christmas holiday, I recommend it for anytime of the year!

The Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book FourThe Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book Four by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caspian uses his magic socks from his grandpa to help keep a sneaky little kitten safe – safe from being in a tree, on a log in a river. When they go back to the tree where the Frisbee is, the kitten jumps on the Frisbee and a bubble grows around it. The kitten zooms around on his little Frisbee ship. Caspian is sad that he didn’t get to play with the Frisbee or rescue the kitten. Grandpa points out that the day was fun anyway – and that is what matters.

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2)Reckless Heart by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming second chance at love sweet romance. I was kept happily turning the pages of this standalone story, which had me hooked throughout. Mary had a secret crush on Brad when they were younger, but thinking he wasn’t interested in her, she ended up dating Brad’s friend Jim. Meanwhile, Brad left his hometown after he graduated, as he didn’t want to see his friend and the girl he had a crush on together. Having put his past regrets, of not confessing his feelings to Mary, behind him, he’s worked hard building his construction business into a success, but he’s forced to return home for his sister’s wedding.
His plan is to get through the weekend and then leave, but then he meets Mary again, and she’s newly single and ready to date. Mary is surprised to come face to face with her school crush, but instead of a shy lanky boy, Brad is now a gorgeous confident man, it’s just a shame he seems hesitant to get to know her again. When a matchmaking friend gets involved, Brad and Mary are forced to face the painful misunderstandings that cost them a relationship during their teenage years. I love Brad and Mary’s characters, as they are both likeable and relatable, and their chemistry really came across in the narrative. I was cheering the couple on hoping they would get their second chance at romance and a well deserved HEA!

Reckless Heart (Second Chance Romance #2)Reckless Heart by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one author I always enjoy reading new things from as she always seems to create sweet and interesting stories. I enjoyed this first book in this series and I was glad to see this book met my expectations. I enjoyed the characters in this book. It was nice to see their development and watch them reconnect after so many years.
The book itself was a little well written and exactly in the style I have come to expect from this author. It was a steady pace, a little slow at times, but with an engaging story overall. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Degrees of Innocence (Prestian Series, #1)Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a lot of Dark Mafia romances, but I loved this one. It wasn’t what I normally read, but it kept my interest and kept me wanting more. I just finished the first book, and can’t wait to get started on the 2nd one in this series. Chase and Katarina are characters that you will want to get to know. This was the first book that I read from this author, and I hope she has some similar books to read after I finish this series!
