Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is intensely satisfying, entertaining, action-packed but makes it an incredible read. I loved how original the action is and where the author takes us but this book has a bit of everything for you to enjoy. Check it out and you won’t be disappointed!
Daire’s Devils by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This action-packed read will have you on the edge of your seat as you become enthralled in this adventure. The characters really carried the book with the action that followed. I enjoyed every part of this read!
A Hundred Wishes by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love stories like these where life and love collide in the most beautiful of ways. This book is no different in the way it uniquely ties it altogether. Love always prevails in the sense of imperfections, embracing love, and finding the strength to do it all again with love like these two have found. I found the story romantic, sweet, and charming.
Journeys Through Collection: Volume 1-3 by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is one of my favorite box sets since I’ve been reading them and that’s a long time coming. The setting of these books transcend you to a different place, time and dimension which leaves your mind blown. The originality the author provides makes this a great read! You’ll be fascinated as you quickly indulge in book after book of action-packed entertainment with great characters to boot. Enjoy!
To be a Fae Guardian by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is an exciting read that’s thrilling and action-packed. From the first book of this series, Tricia takes us to a faraway land that’s exciting to be a part of in this read. Grenat book from start to finish!
Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This fast paced book swept me off my feet because the action was so intense. Suspenseful was the romantic element that kept your heart pumping just as much as the action parts. I’m so enthralled with the characters that it all made this an exciting read! This is beautiful and very enjoyable.
The Web of Humanity: A Novel by Maria Turchin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I fell in love with the characters more than the actual story surrounding it. That’s really odd for me to say but if you follow the flow of the way it unravels. So much of this book warms my heart in so many ways. It was almost like I was drawn to this book and it was well worth the read as it flowed easily, well written, and a whole experience!
Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Like books or movies of this sort, you’re unsure if you can believe what these characters are asking of one another. Upon further reading, you realize that they’re in over their head or exactly what the other needs. I enjoyed the book but feel like there should have been more effort in Caspian making up with Paisley. This book was an enjoyable read nonetheless.
Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My heart bled for the main character in this book as she tried to become resilient in the face of something she’d tried to overcome but when the story unravels, this story will have a tug that’s unmatchable. The chemistry between the two characters with their history (not just towards one another) but to be willing to give love a second chance. This is truly a feel-good book to curl up with any night of the week, it will have you laughing then crying and most of all, the characters will have you beaming from ear to ear.
Cross-Country Christmas by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Though this book starts off rocky, it easily takes a turn for the better as these characters get better acquainted. I love their chemistry but hate when they try to tear into one another but love how or when they get closer. What keeps me glued to this read is the positive and warm energy that warms your heart as these characters get closer. A real page-turner as obstacles derail their experience but they always find love back with one another. These always make for the best love stories, at least for me.
Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Let me just start off saying I love this series but I also love the fact they all can be a standalone. From the beginning, I instantly fell in love with Scott but Zelda and their connection makes me further deepen the story that is their life. It’s exciting to be a part of each book as a read. I love how detailed the author writes but the paranormal activity that is tangled in their story makes it so intense. Haunting, but not in a spooky way: in a way that appeals to your senses. Their story will leave your heart torn up in so many directions it’s hard to know which way is up and down. What’s interesting for me is how the author writes from so many different angles hitting so many spots that leave you craving for more. I look forward to reading more and more. Bravo!
Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
From start to finish, like the other books of this series I’ve read from the author, this book is entertaining. This book like the others had me eagerly turning the pages to figure out how Logan gets it done. The characters take shape and throw you into the mystery which makes it more fun. This story will have you craving more of the series as the other books have.
Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love the element of surprise from the beginning to the end. The rabbit hole this sends you down, you’ll be more than happy where this book ends. The mystery and suspense will leave you mesmerized: This is entertaining, witty, and full of wonderful characters to make this read enjoyable.
Spooked by a Suspicion by Risa Nyman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book and even though my boys aren’t old enough for a read like this, I’m sure my 5-year-old would enjoy it. My oldest loves mysteries and stories of this kind! It’s unpredictable, witty, and original from start to finish. Great read!
Boy Released by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
We’re still with Tyler in this third installment of a series I’ve grown to love. As an advocate for mental illness in real life (outside of being a reader), I was heartbroken at how they stigmatized Tyler. My heart also goes out to Hen as he’s dealing with a lot on his own as well: This book is what I call refreshingly honest. From that perspective, I dove right in and was gripped with all of this story and never looked back. I love this book so much I keep re-reading. Pick it up and enjoy!
Written in the Stars by Angela Christina Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book gripped me in so many ways as a mother I could never imagine a time like these. As both of my kids are out of wedlock and coming from a religiously strict family, this hit home as I choose to live as a mother who is single (by choice) and it’s weird to travel back in this book. I could only imagine how Betty feels as she’s left to an unruly world after her baby is given away and no idea where the child’s father is and what this means for them. Then, decades later we follow that child to discover her truth of adoption: I won’t give anything away but I loved how and where this story ended because it was meant to be written the way Ms. Angela Archer orchestrated it. Great read!
So Close by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an emotionally riveting book that keeps your gears turning. I am a sucker for romance and especially this kind. This book was a juicy read but also entertaining from start to finish. I think you’ll enjoy this read and where it takes you.
Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve read previous books by this same author in this series and I’m happy to have a backstory on Lady Isra. Through reading this one, I hate the turn it takes as these characters become enthralled in a love triangle like no other. The drama is intense and worth reading about but as the light and dark squabble over Isra, it becomes more intensifying than we thought. The fact that this sends you on a plane with her, you’ll feel shuffled but this story needs to be told if you’re invested as I was through the series. I don’t want to give it away but I’m sure you’re gonna see what I mean.
Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Like Cynthia Hamilton’s books of this series, this will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was consumed in this book from start to finish with two stories in one for me. The story with Russell Barnett took on a life of its own as did the other storyline with Cat Kingman. These stories within this book will keep you on the edge! Take a dive down the rabbit hole and enjoy what this has to offer. You won’t be disappointed.
Hold Me Forever by Lea Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love how relatable I can see myself in Lark (the main character) but the sensational journey their love sends us down in this book will leave your heart racing but in a good way. I love the way this author returns both characters back into one another’s life with their history: The fact they’re reunited with another couple’s union is powerful in its own right. A love story within another one is great reading, to me, the sucker for romance. The chemistry within their body language described in the story speaks to exactly what draws me into these characters. Their bodies speak more than they actually do to draw them near. I have been pulling for them to rekindle and also for them to give one another a second chance. This story goes in depth on connecting these two. Pick up your copy and enjoy this read!
Drifting, Falling — Diary Of A Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is a different kind that grabbed my attention because I’ve been through a lot just like Ripley but I wanted to see how she would overcome her suicide attempt. I even related to how she has bigger dreams but I was enthralled with how she could overcome so much. This book will take you to new heights as it pivots you into different places you’ve never dreamed of. I absolutely loved this read!
Avenging Devil Part 1: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This author seems to pull at your heartstrings in the most profound ways through storytelling. I’ve read numerous books by this author and have captivated me after reading them. This book is no different as worlds collide but don’t end like you’d suspect. You will enjoy this one just as much as I did.
Of Fire and Bone by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great book to indulge your senses that was easy to read and understand. Very easily a page-turner from the beginning. These characters are easy to love and give you so much to look forward to. The fantasy element makes it unpredictable. I love how entertaining it was that I couldn’t put it down. Very original but interesting!

Tangled Roots by Denise D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was a beautiful start to a “tangled” story. See what I did there? No, but seriously, this book is seriously good with the way it wraps around you as the reader is entwined in this great story.
Amazing read for anybody interested in fantasies as I am. I liked this read from start to finish. I’m ready to delve deeper into the rest of this series as it’s captured my attention and it’s worth the read!
Competing with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book teaches a young woman lessons about friendship, love and betrayal. The way Ms. Krysten Hager writes her stories are something anyone young enough to acknowledge can learn from. This book is interesting but brings you back to your teenage years if you’re a mature woman who likes reading the young adult genre. Pick up your copy and you won’t be disappointed!
Lake of Flowers by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have followed this series from the start and it keeps getting better. I love the entire series and what it means for the historical references. I love how the author takes the time to make the books seamlessly coincide and are also filled with action. I love how much I’ve learned from or about the characters and it’s all for the best. Enjoy this book and the others as well!
Moonlit Kiss : A Venice Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amy McKinley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. From the descriptions of beautiful scenery to the way the characters magnetically come through as endearing from the reader’s perspective. I read this entire book in one sitting as I am in love with this one but the entire series as well. You will enjoy this one and everything about it!
Moonlit Kiss : A Venice Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For me, this was the most beautiful book I’ve read in quite awhile. This book was beautiful as it brought to light just what makes Italy a great country. The scenes bring you closer to being in Italy itself as the author’s words transcend you there through the pages. The story wrapped around the scenery draws you in. This is one of the best books in a long time: Pick up your copy today!
Lighting the Path: Leaning into a Hopeful Future as a Special Needs Parent by Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book had me with just the title till you tune into what’s being written within the book. Once you learn to take in all the knowledge from the doctor but also apply it to your daily life. The detail-oriented lessons from life and approaching special needs is very helpful and gives the reader a better understanding for the way we treat special needs children or just special needs in general. This book is impressive and incredibly written for readers and parents alike.
