The Better Man (A Silver Buckle Romance Series) by Laurie Lewis – Review by Faith Jackson

The Better Man (Silver Buckle Brides, #2)The Better Man by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can most definitely relate to Laramee’s ailing family situation. I could also relate to Jamie in getting others to believe in you after they gave up on you. From the summary, you’d think they belong to and with one another, right? Not when Sutton comes out of nowhere to get Jamie back after Laramee and he had become emotionally tied.. But it’s all in Jamie’s hands and what his heart desires.
Honestly, yes: I was and am pushimg for Laramee to win this one but then again, you never know what the author cooked up and I won’t spoil it for you. I loved this book as it was romantic, for me an escape from reality (at least for a few days) but it was steamy in a sensual way outside of sexual, easy to read with wonderful characters to match leaving me fully entertained.

oPlanting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Though Yoga by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen – Review by Faith Jackson

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga (Yoga for Kids: Lesson Plans for the Teacher Book 1)Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga by Janice Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even though this book is 85 pages, it’s full of knowledge about planning and kid-friendly which I greatly appreciated. Honestly, it couldn’t come at a better time cause I want to peel and ween my oldest son at 9 away from tablets, YouTube, and his game or being inside all the time. But yes, he and I now both enjoy gardening together to create a better bond. Also, I love, as a Taurs, (Earth sign) grounding myself into the Earth.
To watch and experience things grow in front of your very eyes after laboring over it, you’ll fall in love with its growth and the peace of mind you get from it and your kids will enjoy the process plus never forgetting what they’ve learned with a sense of achievement under their belt. Here’s to that!

Stars in the City (Stars in the City Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Faith Jackson

Stars in the CityStars in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book seems to glorify spinning the block (returning to an ex) for no reason other than your feelings. While this works well in novels and books, it’s not realistic, for some. Honestly, I’m not hating on it but it seems predictable.This book also highlights how to balance work, love, and ego which I can appreciate about it, nonetheless. So, if you’re looking for a Hallmark movie in book form, here you go. Again, I loved the book for reasons other than love: But that’s just my take.

The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Faith Jackson

The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 4)The Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me on the edge of my seat with so much happening so soon (not a bad way to start a book) by the way. From the relationship with his twin brother to the other characters, Jake is a man on his own embracing a new environment. the way that everything shaped Jake into being more than who he is beautiful as he handles his own. Dealing with his own painful strides, Jake is overcoming it in a way that’s heroic at least in my eyes.
I’m glad I read this book as it led me to trust myself more and the position I’m in at the present moment. Great message, great read: get you a copy!

I love to read and watch westerns on and in books. This book is no exception: I enjoyed watching as Fenimore transform into Simon. This grew into unexpected storytelling as we see the relationship and environment interchange with the character and his life. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!

This is a chilling yet suspenseful read that kept me on the edge of my seat. I love murder mysteries, suspense, thrillers and all things true crime. As a suspense fan of all, this one kept me on my toes! I love that it added a much needed mental health esthetic to it as well because this conversation has to be held. So, overall pretty great read from all aspects.

My two sons enjoyed this reading. I couldn’t tell which son loved it more. As I read the voice of the piggy, my baby son would crack up the oldest would follow. Both enjoyed learning about patience through the pig and the story. Plus the illustrations made my son mimic him. My youngest son reminds me of this little piggy in the story. So, we all learned something especially him. Thanks for the read and the story with the lessons.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved reading this as an adult and as a parent. My 7-year old son could definitely relate to Landry even though he’s just in 2nd grade. He learned a lot about his personality, being accepted (or not), FOMO, and what it’s like to be true to himself. As an adult raising my kids alone, it taught me how to point him in the right direction and away from frenemies. Great work to the author, Ms. Lindsay Hager!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was easy to follow and intriguing to say the least. I was excited about the murder mystery itself but the further you read, the more you get caught up in the lives of the characters, how the business is going and Snowflake Valley itself. This is not only a cozy mystery but very entertaining and fun!
