UnexpectedUnexpected by Laylah Abrams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very cute, angsty read that will have you silently cursing at the characters until the very end. It’s a whirlwind of a romance for Claire, the beautiful celebrity heiress, and Nick, the struggling artist, who meet while Nick is serving Claire and her friends all they could want and more at a high-end restaurant. Nick and Claire rendezvous by chance in the hallway that night and things go from there…but little do they realize that they are falling in love and that may pose a problem. I really enjoyed the plot line of this book and I absolutely loved that we get a dual POV in a roundabout way. The story is really sweet and does end in an HEA. The spice is there but it is very behind the scenes. I really recommend this book. It’s quick and great if you are wanting a palette cleanser between bigger reads.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in this school age children’s book. The series is about a boarding school for children not only studying the expected curriculum but also learning ballet. We continue to learn about Lauren and Grace (the resident ghost and Lauren’s best friend) in this paranormal adventure series. There’s mischief, drama, loyal friends, some misunderstandings between good friends and so much more. The author has created wonderful characters and world where young readers can learn about friendships. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order. The books are geared toward 8-13 year olds but can definitely be read by those young at heart. I know I would have loved this series as a kid.

Sweet Dreams by Claire (Capture the Light, #2)Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Sweet Dreams By Claire is the second book in the Capture the Light series by Nanette Littlestone. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from her writing- but do I love a sweet romance, and this promised to deliver that- so I one-clicked a copy and set off to explore.
This is a touching romance with magical realism, a little drama, family dynamics, baking, intriguing characters, emotion, a small-town setting, a mysterious antique brooch, feelgood moments, tender touches, sweet developments, and delightful details – which is all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Emerald Isle.
I loved meeting Claire and following along on her journey of discovery- self-discovery, discovering love, and more. Finn is such a great character- he’s arrived for his sister’s wedding, and the connection between him and Claire made the story quite romantic. They do have their challenges though- which the author cleverly wove into the story- adding a touch of drama and adding even more interest.
I will definitely be going back to read Book #1 (For the Love of Brigid) and finding out what happened there (it’s Brigid’s wedding in this book that brings Claire and Finn together) before continuing with the rest of this series.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nanette Littlestone!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Action-packed thrill ride! Pavlo maybe the alpha-hole that you think he is but he totally seems worth it. Regan is almost everything you want in a FMC, except too selfless. She should totally care about what happens to herself, which she never does.

Regan is a romance author on a short book tour with Pavlo, a spy thriller author. Pavlo is also a highly-skilled private security contractor. That part of Pavlo’s world is just kept on the DL. When Regan is unknowingly pulled into an assassination plot, she tries to figure it out on her own but gets in way over her head. Pavlo and his former SEAL friends are there to protect Regan from the crazies and, as it seems, herself.

There is a major twist when the action starts going down. People Regan thought were not loyal turn out to be her allies. People Regan thought would always have her back were only using her for their own benefit. All except Pavlo. He has been there from the beginning of this mess and despite him saying that he could only be a short-term situation, he appears to be very much in for the long-term.

This author writes genuine characters. There was some great banter. Even a few laughs along the way but what gets you the most is the selflessness Regan shows for her daughter. Fantastic read!

Lost Property is the sixth book in the Tom Grant series by Samantha Adair. It is a suspenseful crime and investigation thriller with plenty of dramatic developments, action, adventure, mystery, intrigue, tension, danger, agendas, and much more.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)

As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series I think I loved this one more. I was completely sucked in from the first page until the very end.

This book has a little bit of everything a hot protective alpha, mystery, danger and romance.

Pavlo and Regan worked from the very beginning, even though they didn’t get along and were thrown together due to the book convention.

Regan is the type of woman I strive to be and stick to my beliefs no matter how difficult it may be and it was very difficult for her to do it.
This is definitely worth the time and I can’t wait to read more.

Regan and Pavlo are quite the match. They have a history and can’t stand each other. When they have to spend time together due to being paired by their publicist on a book tour the lines between love and hate start to blur. Things are going as expected until Regan starts to get threats. As much as he would like to let her deal with this situation on her own he can’t turn his back on her, especially when there is a child involved and he may be starting to catch feelings. Being in the field of protecting also plays a huge part in Pavlo throwing himself in between Reagan and any harm that is coming her way. The suspense will make you keep turning those pages to find out what happens next. The slow burning romance will make you wonder why they weren’t a couple to begin with since the underlying attraction was clearly there. I’m not sure how many books are in this series, I’m banking on five at least since in book one it mentions Cade and four of SEAL brothers, but the next one can’t get here soon enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unexpected

The title of this book couldn’t have been more perfect and I absolutely adored both Claire and Nick instantly.

Claire is nothing like the friends she’s with when we first meet her and it’s obvious to anyone who was paying attention to her and Nick was paying attention. Claire wants for nothing. Her Dad has money, she is a successful model trying to find her way.

Nick is a grad student getting a masters in art and struggling to make ends meet. Works as a waiter on top of his class load and never knew how much of a difference his job would make in his life.

Claire was a great woman but she was also quite frustrating and closed minded with her beliefs on love not matter how understandable they were.

This was a great introduction to Ms. Abrams and her writing. The storyline kept me engaged in the book and was a little sad when it was over. I look forward to see what she releases next.

Carrie’s Flight (Grandma’s Closet) by Lois Wickstrom. This has quickly become my favorite children’s author and my 5 year old nephew agrees. This book is a lovely description of being so close to a grandparent and trying to keep that relationship close. This books teaches that you can keep memories alive by things that make you think of that person. When Carrie’s grandma moves across town she is very lonely without her. Carrie and her grandma used to watch the starlings together so when she sees some she calls her grandma and then she finds some wings in a box that was left by her grandmother. Can she figure out how to fly to her grandmothers? This book teaches you about lots of different birds and the bond between a child and grandparent. All of this authors books have a life lesson in them and the pictures are always amazing as well. Another 5 star read!

This was definitely an interesting read. Having grown up in an indigenous community on a reservation, I grew up hearing all about Coyote and his tricks. This was an interesting and enjoyable take on that character. Andrea wasn’t a spiritual person while alive and it seems to have carried over into the afterlife. However, through the stories she tells to Coyote she was actually a fairly spiritual person as she preserves the life of a spider (if we’re being honest a good chunk of us would either squish it or run and stay up half the night wondering whether it was in bed with us, haha) and she has a great appreciation for, or is at least is in tune with, nature. Even though it was a short book it was enjoyable to read these mini stories and learn more about what the main character was like while alive. If you want a different take on Coyote, outside of being the trickster, I suggest giving this book a try.

Although it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading them in order to get a better take on all the characters and what’s happening. Tom Grant has retired but when Operation “SweetPea” shows up at James’ door, Tom is asked to help. Two young girls, Annika and Melody are asking for help and Tom can’t resist. Samantha always seems to bring out the human side of Tom and makes him seem like a real person and not some machine. I love all the characters and the setting is written so well I felt like I was there. This is a buckle up and hold on to the edge of your seat read and you won’t want to put it down. I loved every word. Full of danger, adventure and the ugly side of human trafficking, this book will rip your heart out!

We get so many twists and turns. We get danger, drama, LOL moments and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I love protective alpha male characters and Pavlo definitely was that. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The story was in dual POV which I love so we can see what they are both thinking. The author did a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read her next book. 1-click and get started today.

I am not usually one to read and enjoy fantasy novels, but wow, this one was fantastic. Cambria Williams developed an incredible cast of characters, especially Sloane and Tolvar. The story was a little slow to start, but it didn’t take long before I was completely enveloped in the story. The search for the Unsung and the trials faced by Sloane and Tolvar make this story a great one. This novel has knights, ancient lore, legends, goddesses of the various moons, and so much more. I felt like I rode an emotional roller coaster through the reading of this book, and would ride it over and over again without a question. Excellent book.

Regan is a divorced single mother living her dream as an author. Just when she thought that her next book tour would go smoothly until her publicist told her that she not only would have a guest on tour with her but also a private guest signing. Regan refused to meet for the private signing but little did she realize that by refusing it would create a domino effect throughout her private life. Pavlo, the book tour guest, is not only a fellow author but a retired Navy and owner of a security firm. Ragen didn’t want Pavlo on the book tour let alone having him catapulted into her personal life. This was a fantastic book. I was hooked from the very first chapter!

This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series. The books in this series can be read as standalones as they focus on different couples, but the characters to appear in other books.
Pavlov and Regan’s story has elements of enemies to lovers, but Pavlov’s caring nature is revealed when Regan and her daughter are in danger. His protective nature and determination to keep the pair safe is part of what makes him so enjoyable. I like that Regan is also a strong character, she stubborn in wanting to do what’s best for her daughter and you can see her develop as a character as the story progresses.
The author has again created well-written, enjoyable characters and you can’t help but get invested in their lives, especially as their stories unfold and the chemistry grows.
The plot is well developed and had me hooked throughout. There were plenty of twists to keep me guessing, and the way these were written makes it easy to follow along as things shift.
I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to get my hands on more!
