I enjoy reading this author. This is the second book I have picked up from this author and I enjoy her writing style. The period of the War of 1812 is not my typical go-to genre but I gave it a try and I’m glad I did. The attention to detail and the storyline build are just a few of the traits I love about this author. The building of the relationship between Jed and Hanna is truly wonderful and pure. Jed is the heir to a plantation and a family with years of secrets; buying slaves to build back up the Willow’s Estate. Now little does Jed know Hanna’s family is the key to putting all the family secrets together. I definitely recommend the book and author!

Lewis – Review by Ashley Lape
This is Wickstrom’s third book in her Nessie’s Grotto series. My niece and nephew couldn’t wait to see what would happen on Craig and Linda’s summer adventures this year. They have enjoyed several of Wickstrom’s other books, including the first two in this series. They have really been drawn into each book in the series, looking forward to the next. The illustrations are well done and engaging. I would recommend this book to others.

If you are looking for a book with mystery, a murder, charming characters, and a whole lot of kitty cuteness, then this cozy mystery is for you.
Murder She Meowed by Ruth J. Hartman follows author Christy Bailey and her cats, Milton and Pearl, as they try to prove their friend Janie is not a murderer.
I found the book to be a quick, fun read full of quirky characters and adorable cats. I loved the way the mystery unfolded and how I did not want to stop reading. It definitely made me want to cuddle my feline buddy a little closer.
So grab a cup of your favorite beverage, a cozy blanket, and your furry friend and try to solve the who-dunnit along kitty mystery solvers Milton and Pearl with the help of their human Christy.
The Curse of Jean Lafitte is full of history, adventure, and mystery, and a spin of humor as well. Set in New Orleans, the author spins a vivid supernatural tail that pulls you into the rich paranormal history that surrounds the city. You can easily tell the author took the time to do some research, and make the story believable and easy to follow. I have never visited New Orleans myself, but the author makes you feel like you are there, and gives great recommendations around the city! Now, about the actual story…When a food critic almost chokes on a plastic baby in one of the King Cakes, Juliet is left without a job. Before long she finds herself working to break a treasure’s curse with only two weeks to succeed. She ends up finding help in some unlikely places, and with a time crunch, the story progresses quickly. I actually really liked this more than I thought I would, and will be looking into her other books as well. reviewed by @zoltrixes

I thought this book was well written. It utilizes great world building and interesting characters. I liked that there was some action with the romance. For anyone who likes second chance romances, this would be a good book.

Magic and imagination!!! This story is full of a bit of both. This is the perfect book to share with the kid in your life who still takes all those adventures without every really leaving home. Wickstrom has continued to paint a story showing you can have a strong bond with someone even when they are not with you all the time, which is what Carrie and her Grandmother have. When she moved, she left 4 boxes each that have contained items that have helped on the other adventures Carrie has already been on. I would recommend the whole series! You won’t be disappointed.

I liked this book. I enjoyed the chemistry between Giuliana and Landon. The mystery about Landon’s life as “Mr. Parker” was intriguing and kept me reading to find out more. I loved the descriptions of the islands and the characters. I could really envision what the characters looked like and their surroundings. I felt the characters were likable, as well, especially Giuliana. It was refreshing to read a romance about two successful, determined people. I would recommend this book to someone looking for a quick read with steamy romance. I’m looking forward to book 2!

(Winter Getaway Romance Series) by Stacey Komosinski – Review by Jennie M Bechtel
Xenobia refuses to have a serious relationship with She found Javier beating Maggie five years ago, and Xenobia attacked him. Only Maggie knew that she wasn’t human. Maggie and the girls who were “employed” by Javier left as well. Xenobia had also borrowed some of his money. Despite this being a past issue, Javier has sent Mr. Smith to insist she return the women. Mr. Smith claims Javier has his daughter because of a debt of $100,000. Javier told him that if the girls were returned, then his debt would be excused and his daughter would not be harmed. Xenobia gave Mr. Smith the money, and he set up an exchange. Before he left for the exchange, Mr. Smith told Xenobia that his daughter’s name was Mercy. Something told Xenobia he didn’t think he would survive the exchange.
Xenobia receives a phone call: “Save Mercy.” Xenobia uses her power to keep him alive so he can learn where she is. She felt him die. Xenobia has to hurry to save Mercy. She arrives to find two men raping Mercy, and she intervenes by using her power to make the men commit suicide. Mercy is wounded, and Xenobia takes her back to the brothel house. She realizes that Mercy isn’t going to survive. Xenobia realizes Mercy needs blood. She uses her own to rescue Mercy, despite not knowing if there will be any unintended side effects.
The following day, Detective Matthew Winters questions Xenobia about a body that had her business card. Xenobia denied knowledge of the body. Matthew questions her about Mercy. Xenobia denied knowing her.
Matthew knew that Xenobia was lying. He could smell Mercy and sense Xenobia’s distress when he questioned her. As a wolf shifter, his senses were heightened. There was more about Xenobia that intrigued him as well. Later that evening, Matt falls asleep, and his dream shows Xenobia at the crime scene. Matthew returns to the brothel. He has one question for Xenobia.
“What are you?”
The Rise of House Valdis is a unique fantasy romance story involving Xenobia Valdis, Matthew Winters, and the women they have taken a vow to protect. The vivid details given to the characters display their strengths and insecurities as they face danger from humans and other supernatural creatures. The attraction between Xenobia and Matt is palpable, but they both carry baggage from the past that they have to face before diving into a relationship. The alternating perspectives of the characters made it easy to relate to the inner turmoil they faced. The plot is unpredictable, and the multiple twists kept me fully invested in the book. Readers who enjoy romance novels with magical creatures will enjoy Naomi Valkyrie’s The Rise of House Valdis. This series shows amazing promise to become a favorite for me.

Xenobia has the sixth sense to avoid falling victim to betrayal. At a young age, she knew not to trust anyone. That is, until Urd became her new roommate at the training center. Headmistress Xiomara assigns Xenobia to make sure that Urd learns the rules; she would be responsible for anything Urd failed. Somehow, Xenobia lets down her guard with Urd, and they become best friends. Unfortunately, every slave’s happiness comes to an end when the Chief Slave Traders arrive. Headmistress Xiomara takes Urd early in the morning. Xenobia worries throughout the day, and Urd enters the room after the night is half over. Xenobia notices a red welt on Urd’s back. The following morning, Urd doesn’t eat with Xenobia but goes to kneel before the Chief. Later that evening, Xenobia sees the man strike Urd. Xenobia attacks him and is thrown into an outbuilding in chains. The girls are sent to their new master together when they learn that Xenobia can heal Urd’s wounds. One evening, they learn that Prince Xavion is coming, and Xenobia knows they have to escape because Xavion’s reputation for his treatment of slaves is dire. Xenobia had hoped to find the rumored Underground so they could be freed from slavery. Now, they don’t have time and must escape before the prince arrives.
House Valdis Origins: Xenobia makes a solid foundation for the series by featuring Xenobia’s early life. Xenobia’s attachment to Urd becomes almost as though they are sisters. It becomes evident that Xenobia isn’t human since she has blue skin, can heal wounds, and has a feral anger that causes fangs to appear. The detail is excellent and doesn’t overwhelm the unpredictable plot. The novella is a quick read but is full of emotion and action that held my interest and left me eager to read the sequel.
This is another amazing story by this author. The message of making a mistake and lying about it is very important for little ones as well as adults. It is a reminder that our true friends will understand when you make a mistake and support you. Again the illustrator has done a magnificent job. Loved this story

Wow!!! This author never disappoints. The tension holds you in a vice and doesn’t let go. If you love to read romance mixed with danger mixed in, you will love this author’s books. This book had me in its grips quickly. The sizzling hot connection between the main characters was on fire and you were in their corner all the way through the book.
Please note trigger warnings as there are some dark issues in this book. I found this story line added to the book and the emotional roller coaster this book takes you on.

Holy Hanna what a ride!!! This book was full of so much suspense and tension that I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t walk away from the book even if I wanted too. Sparks fly in so many ways. Riley’s father is still on the hunt for her and her mom. Everyone could be in danger and yet secrets are putting everyone at an unknown risk.
I have to say that I have a few books from this author and I am hooked. Her writing style will keep you reading and reading and on the edge of your seat. Loved Loved Loved this book. I want more.

Wow, the author has me holding on by my fingernails. I got sucked right into the story right off the start and it never let me go. I love the way the MC handles the bully aspect of the story. Way to go for taking the high road. I had a lot of the same feelings that were going through her head as well, I could relate completely.
The love hate relationship between Riley and Cole has me reeling. The character building is on point and has you invested in the reason both Cole and Riley want to hate each other. Fear is a struggle to keep at bay in this teenage coming of age story. I need the next book.

C. Sheppard – Review by Lucy Machard
This book does talk about ageplay, dominance and a touch of violence but that is mild.
Cutter is part of a MC (motorcycle club) and a few years prior has a run in with a local police officer when he gets arrested. Emily Mayhew is police officer turned detective that has had eyes for Cutter since arresting him in a fight years ago. Unknowing that he has eyes for her to.
Being a ‘Middle’ she has been hurt in the past and wasn’t treated appropriately by her ‘Caregiver’. When Cutter reappears due to a shooting she sees her chance and takes it. However, not intentionally in the romance department. She needs Cutter for a case she’s trying to pull off. The question is tho will he accept the mission?
Cutter and his MC are pulled in to help the local PD (specifically Emily) put a stop to a new incoming MC and their wrong doings. But who is going to get caught in the crossfire? Will Emily and Cutter be able to build a relationship based on his being a dominant and her being a middle?

Anise Storm’s first book in her Titans of Chicago is Deceptively Yours. Harper Grimes and Gabriel Blake were soul mates planning to marry after graduating. Both of them had grown up together and fallen in love. One evening, Harper and Gabriel were eating dinner at Gabriel’s home when his parents came home. Mr. Blake asked Harper to meet him in his office for a minute. Harper’s parents were killed in a car accident. Devastated, Harper is shocked to learn her uncle was picking her up to live with him in Portland. Despite the Blake family offering to let Harper stay with them in Chicago, he refuses and takes Harper away.
Jayson, Harper’s cousin, tormented her two months later. Jayson rapes Harper and takes pictures of his acts. He sends them to her to prevent her from telling anyone. She felt as though she had unwillingly cheated on Gabriel. In a single phone call followed by pictures, Harper breaks Gabriel’s heart. She also stopped contact with everyone she knew in Chicago.
Nine and a half years later, Harper discovers Gabriel’s parents died in a mysterious plane crash. She knew she had an inheritance, and Mr. Blake had been trying to help her despite her uncle denying she had anything. Her friend, Jackson, had helped her look into Mr. Blake’s work, and they found something off. Just before the plane crashed, her uncle was making incremental payments to someone in Chicago. Now the same payments were being made. Harper fears that Gabriel is in danger and tries to warn him on the phone. He hangs up on her. Determined, Harper has to warn Gabriel of the danger. When White is flying to Chicago, a blizzard strikes the city. She finds Gabriel at a bachelor’s auction for a charity. When it is time to bid for the date, Harper uses over half her savings to pay for the date. However, Gabriel has other plans. Unprepared, Gabriel is angry but won’t turn Harper away since all the hotels are full. He takes her back to his penthouse.
Anise Storm’s Deceptively Yours covers several deep topics in a passionate romance story. The sixteen years Harper and Gabriel had before her parents’ deaths held onto hope. Even a decade after Harper foolishly ended the relationship, Gabriel and Harper never moved on to another real relationship. While they were apart, some of their dreams had come true, while others had fallen through due to unfortunate events that happened in real life. Despite the chemistry between them, the pain of betrayal is brought to light through Gabriel’s eyes. The alternating views are well-transitioned, and they keep the momentum of the story moving forward without being a repetitive rehashing of each detail. The personalities are well-developed, and the vivid depiction of their physical attributes adds to the appeal of this book. Readers who enjoy well-developed romantic suspense novels will find Deceptively Yours a great book for their personal library.

This was a very entertaining read! I finished it in one go, listening to it while I was working. I found it to be an enjoyable listen. This is book 3 of the Eve Sawyer series, and I’ve read the previous books. This book, however, would do fine as a standalone for anyone who hadn’t yet read the previous books. In this book, Eve and her love interest, Bob, set off to find their missing friends, Sally Rae and Drew, after Sally Rae’s mother called Eve to ask for her help in finding her daughter after she hadn’t come home for the weekend as she had planned. Drew and Sally Rae were in a relationship, but it was rumored that they had split up. However, both of them were missing with no clue as to what their whereabouts could be. Were they together? Sally Rae hadn’t been spotted by anyone since Friday afternoon, and Drew’s phone was left at home, and he was nowhere to be found. Eve and Bob do their best to track the two down, eventually receiving help from Drew’s roommate Randall. The friends are taken on a wild ride, full of twists. Another great read from Jane Suen, and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Jumping on mid series, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised to figure it could truly be read as a stand alone; however, rven with that being said I will be going back to read the previous books in the series just based solely on the little tidbits you get on the previous characters storyline throughout the book.
Suckered into helping a friend, Jackson, after he tells a lie the will majority affect both thier lives. Once Ros agrees to help keep up the ruse, things really get interesting. Will the two be able to stay just friends? Get a HEA? Or ruin a great friendship forever? Pick up the book and give it a read to find out. I would recommend it.

I’ve been a die hard fan of this author since the first titan series that they did, so when I saw this had released i was right there ready to get it. I loved the trope in this book; lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers. It is an HEA, but PLEASE read the content warnings before you jump in to the book. I made the mistake of not paying attention was quite thrown off by some of the things that happened in this book. That being said, I think the author did a beautiful job of managing the trauma that comes with some of the events of the books, and I look forward to the next!

Dirty Heartbreaker is book three in the Hamilton Steelhawks series. Let me tell you once i started i could not stop. I am late to this series, but I was able to follow along but some of the characters i was reading about are from previous books so I would recommend starting from the beginning. This book from the start pulled me in i loved the characters especially Colby. In book three we Follow the journey between Colby and Gabriella and it’s a whirl wind of adventures. I liked that i couldn’t predict what was going to happen with them next. If you are into Contemporary romance or even sports romance, you will love this series i highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading more books in this series and even more books by this author. @stephaniedulac25

Another Wickstrom story, well loved by my niece and nephew. She has become one of their most asked for authors. Craig and Linda’s adventures with Nessie have become their favorite. They can’t wait to see what adventure they all have next. While this story is geared more toward the 8 to 10 year old range, it can easily be enjoyed by younger children. My family would recommend this book as well as the author.

First off this is probably the only book I’ve read that has had trigger warnings that actually had a note at the beginning noting that.
Harper and Gabriel have become inseparable and have their whole life planned out for their future together. That is until their world gets tossed upside down with the news of Harpers parents dying.

I am never disappointed with a book written by C.A. King, and this is no exception. Wonderfully crafted paranormal romance, that is perfectly unique! This book is a short novella (52 pages) about a young woman down on her luck, named Selene. There is definitely potential to either continue the story or write a more in-depth view of the book. The story is full of steam (reverse harem) and is shrouded in mystery.
Selene is the definition of weird. She can’t hold down a job, and constantly is having complaints about her. After being fired from her job, she stumbles upon a new job adventure on the Forbidden Island. It almost seems too good to be true – the job is perfect for her, she is provided housing and free meals, and also gets the amenities of a wonderful island resort. The only people who live on the island are the 6 owners, and the guests. Selene doesn’t quite understand a few things about the island, especially the rule about wearing a mask if you go out at night. What is this horrible curse? Will she be able to keep this job, or will she be fired from here too?
I would recommend to anyone wanting a quick steamy read that is also paranormal. Also, I would VERY much be excited if C.A. King made this a full-length novel! So many possibilities!
