Operation Blackbird (Brass Compass Series Book 2) by Ellen Butler – Review by Jana Lewis

Operation BlackbirdOperation Blackbird by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Though not one who typically gets into Cold War-era stories, I found this one to be wonderful. It is full of twists and turns, tension, unknown as to who can be trusted and who people really are. I found the characters realistic and the pacing was spot-on. I enjoyed the connection to The Brass Compass, but am glad that the author selected another character to focus on, and that she still connected the two novels together. It is a good way to show how lives diverge when the immediate need for spy services is not as critical. The times and the work were dangerous and the author did a great job of expressing that. If you like historical fiction, spy stories, strong-willed heroines, but still want it to feel real, this is your book!

Grace Under Fire (The Anderson Sisters Book 2) by Jennifer Raines – Review by Tori Werkheiser

Grace Under FireGrace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story follows Grace as she takes over her family farm much sooner than expected due to her mom becoming too sick to stay on the farm. Grace has had some hardships in life to overcome already, including the death of her best friend as a teenager. The brother of her best friend is now her neighbor on the farm and could be what she needs to save her farm but they havent spoken in years. The death of the one person they both loved has kept them at odds but may also be something that links them together.

This was a unique and interesting story for me to read. I was super intrigued about the farm life for Grace and i really felt like i was experiencing that with her. I also liked the interactions between her and Ryan. They felt genuine. I was not entirely sure how i felt about Ryan at first but then he kind of started to grow on me. I enjoyed Grace and loved seeing her with her family which clearly means a lot to her. This story was fun to read and watch Grace and Ryan put their issues aside to do what is best for the farm and turns out they could be whats right for each other as well.

Absolution by Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray – Review by Dawn Brown

AbsolutionAbsolution by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dominic is in love with Juliana when she disappears. Presumed dead, her wealthy father blames Dominic and has him arrested.
Years later, Dominic runs into Juliana, only she claims to be Whitney. Dominic doesn’t know what to believe because she looks exactly like his Juliana. All he knows is he is extremely angry for everything he went through. When Whitney ends up having a special skill that can help him, he must get past the anger at Juliana, even if he still believes the two women are one in the same.
Opinion
This book has some trigger warnings at the beginning for a very good reason. It goes down a rabbit hole so dark that it is not for everyone. If you do not like dark romance (and I do mean dark), this book is not for you.
That having been said, the story was captivating. Following along with Dominic and Whitney/Juliana kept my mind spinning with possibilities of what happened. The book does end in a good light but it did get pretty dark and sketchy for a while.
I will give a warning of my own. This book has a lot of intimate scenes. I would say they happened every two to three chapters, with the first one in the prologue. If that is not your kind of book, this book is not for you. If it is your kind of book, make sure you read it while your partner is in town.

Fate Promised Love, but Duty Had Other Plans

Wild Lavender, Best Fantasy Romance, The Golden Quill Contest

Both healer and warrior, nothing will stop Lady Aubrianne from protecting the people she loves. Together with her closest friends, she labors to find the reason behind her nefarious husband’s frequent absences. They fear the worst and race against time to avoid being implicated in his treacherous acts.

Larkin, a Royal Guard of Aurelia and second-born noble son, tires of his rakish ways. He craves adventure and jumps at the chance to investigate the increasingly wealthy Lord Roger and his dealings with a rival realm. In Aurelia, there’s only one punishment for treason: death to all involved—including the woman who has haunted his dreams for years.

With ambition, murder, and sizzling romance, Wild Lavender delivers! The first book of the Heart & Hand Series introduces a sweeping fantasy epic, one that spans realms, a mystical prophecy, and royal intrigue.

“The epic and sexy world of Wild Lavender is filled with castles teeming with secret passages, political intrigue, war horses, horrors and love. The story sucked me right in on the first page and didn’t let me go until the very last.” —Pat Esden, Author of the Dark Heart Novels

After being thrust into a long-standing conflict between the witches and wizards that has destabilized the Magical Realm and finding the antidote for the Virus of Beauty, Wilf would like to return to his normal soccer playing teenage life. But he can’t rest until his stepsister, Myra, is caught and brought to justice. It’s been three days since Myra took to the skies above Hong Kong and disappeared. Now Wilf is accused of corrupting the Veil, a defensive barrier between the witch and wizard cities. As the spell expands throughout the magical realm it is attacking witches and wizards. But Wilf would rather embrace his witch friend, Katryna, than his wizard powers. When evil forces have other plans and they kidnap Katryna, Wilf realizes that he’d do anything to save her and the Magical Realm, even if it means risking his own life by connecting to the primary source of all magic.

Shore Lodge by Susan Specht Oram – Review by Jenni Bishop

Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller (The Millersville series)Shore Lodge: A high-stakes psychological thriller by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Susan has woven threads of deceit and lies, suspense and danger in this thriller. Where tensions run high and the fear is palpable.
The characters are fully realised and well developed to the point that you feel so much compassion for some and some you hate so strongly that it is a testament to Susan’s writing that evoke such strong emotions.
It’s so easy to get lost in this fast-paced thriller that soon the pages are flying by because you are so engrossed on wanting to find out what is next.
Imagine your whole life has just been ripped apart and you are trying to grieve only to find that there have been lies and deceit behind your back. Then imagine those who are more interested in themselves and greed who decide to lock you away and there is no one to help you. Imagine a place where many go but never leave……..
I am now going to go back to read other works by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Even I as an adult really enjoy Caspian’s Unbirthday’s and Grandpa’s gifts along with my grandkids. Although I was a bit hesitant to read this one with them. Why? Because I was wary that they would want to spill hot chocolate on their socks. I was right they did.
Grandpa and Caspian find themselves transport in a broom and mop and zoom off on adventures. It is a story that will make even an adult dream of being able to fly and the places you could go.
With bright and colourful illustrations that children will love join Caspian and Grandpa on this fun magical adventure.

I love this series! Not only is the idea of blind dating in the dark a novel idea, but it makes for hilarious stories. I love the friends to lovers trope, and this couple make it super sweet in this story. Evan and Kayla are business partners with Kayla heading up the blind date app. Evan, spurred on by his friend actually finding love, decides to give it a try. Great main characters as well as secondary characters, a hilarious plot, and a hot chemistry. Ready for the next one!

5 Stars

 

Storyteller’s Tale is the first book in the Wretched Soulz MC Series by Manda Mellett. It is also Ms. Mellett’s contribution to the Mayhem Makers Series, a collaboration by several authors associated with the Motorcycles, Mobsters, and Mayhem (MMM) author event.
Storyteller and Sheri are really great characters, I felt for them, rooted for them, and was completely invested in their connection and story. Ms. Mellett doesn’t hold back, doing what she does best and delivering a MC romance with plenty of heart and soul- while strumming my emotions along the way.
There’s plenty more here that made this a captivating story- with drama, action, adventure, intrigue, insta-love, pain, betrayal, trust issues, chemistry, steam, surprising developments and more. So, if you love a really well written, riveting MC story- with complex, quirky and loveable characters, and an original plot- then this is definitely the book for you.
As I always say about Ms. Mellett’s books, be warned…. as you may discover that her books are quite addictive, and one won’t be enough! You might find yourself on a book binge in no time. So, limber up your one-click finger while she takes you on an emotional ride…
Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Thank you, Manda Mellett!

4 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow this story was truly dark and twisty….and not all love stories end in happiness….or so to speak.

Dominic Price only ever wanted was to give Juliana Rutherford the world….his love for her was truly impeccable…forbidden as well. Juliana comes from a rich family and her father is very powerful and Dominic is not good enough in Grant Rutherford’s eye for his daughter. When one fateful night of love turns into a fight and things being left unsaid between Dominic and Juliana……Dominic leaves and that departure comes back to haunt him. Juliana goes missing and Grant Rutherford points his fingers in the direction of Dominic…leaving Dominic to fend for his life.

A few years later…Dominic is truly ruthless, cunning, dark…..hatred in his heart for the one man who destroyed 2 years of his life for a crime he did not commit…but when Dominic meets Whitney Green, whom totally resembles Juliana, there is so much hatred………is Whitney playing games with Dominic when all she wants is to help Dominic and deliver a message from Juliana? Will Dominic see past his hatred and let Whitney into his heart and mind?

This story had me all twisted up…it was a roller coaster of emotions……hatred, ruthlessness, rough, twists that I did not see coming for sure. This story definitely had some “dark” moments that are true triggers just a warning.

This was an interesting read. The synopsis and blurb sounded interesting so I was excited to try this one out. It was a lot darker than I was expecting. It kind of turned me off from the story a bit, because while I was expecting some darker themes, this book just a whole other turn I wasn’t expecting and there were no trigger warnings that I personally noticed to prepare for some of the content so that definitely should be a warning for some people. Other than that the story was intriguing and the characters were well written, while very twisted. I did enjoy this book, just not as much as I wanted to pr expected to.

3/5 Stars When I first started the book, I was a little throw off by the writing style. I had to adjust myself to think with the mindset of a a 12-13 year old girl, that’s just entering into middle school. Once I did that, I was able to enjoy the book way more. It reminded me a lot of what it’s like to be a young girl going through changes, becoming interested in more teen-like things, and managing my social life as best as possible. As an adult I thought it was immature that Tori & Ericka were behaving the way they were, but at that age it’s totally appropriate lol. It’s a great read for young girls who are getting into reading and want a relatable read. It’s very easy to read and follow along with.

Vaughn’s Xena is SPICY!
Xena is a college student who fantasizes about her best friend Veronica’s brother, Vaughn. Vee is a wealthy, handsome man with a dysfunctional family who seemingly hates women. Xena has had inappropriate thoughts about Vee for a long time and was excited to find out that Vaughn has been yearning for her for a very long time. This kicks off their raunchy relationship. Vaughn and Xena need each other, but aren’t sure how Ron will handle their relationship, so they hide it. Is there a way to keep everyone happy?
In order to enjoy this book it has to be your type… extra spicy with a laundry list of triggers. It’s truly not for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine!
The ending was completely unexpected and truly caught me off guard. So much so, that I have to read the next book to figure it out.

The Muffin Shop Murder: A Delilah Crumbworthy Mystery BY Holly Tierney. This is such a fun read. Its a cozy mystery and I love this author. This is the story of Delilah who has moved to Snowflake Valley to open a bakery. Thinking that she is moving to a nice quiet, quaint neighborhood she soon finds out that its not so nice. She finds out that a young girl actually died in the bakery before she bought it. She finds out that the people who owned it before tried to cut corners to save the bakery and then a horrible accident ending up sealing their fate and they had to close. She starts to meet all kinds of nice, maybe a little odd people and thinks she might fit in. Then things begin to happen. She has to try and solve a few mysteries along the way and she loves that. This is a cute cozy mystery with a town full of neat things and people. I can’t wait to read more!

This is the second book of the Brass Compass series, a historical spy thriller full of intrigue bringing the reader to Cold War era of 1952. We meet Miriam Becker, who works for the CIA, arrives in Argentina for a holiday when she happens upon a man she recognizes as one of the German SS officers that should have been captured for war crimes.
This book is thrilling and kept my attention so much that I had a hard time putting the book down. Miriam is a strong character and I could feel her concern and worry as she is trying to help a family flee Berlin and find safety. I really enjoyed this book.

But their connected and the chemistry between them can be felt on every single page. For me, it is this that truly carries this book along with watching them develop as the story progresses.
I thought the overall story was well written and a great read. It is the fourth book in the series but can be easily read as a standalone. There is an easy flow to the story but the author has managed to introduce a good level of detail. This was a thoroughly enjoyable story and a great rock star romance.

Handle with Care
By: R.L. Dunn

This is such a good and complex book. There was a lot going on, but in a very good way. It was the kind of book that you don’t want to put down because you are afraid you are going to miss something.
I love the concept of coworkers that become friends that become something well.. Not so simple to define. I thought that Selma was a wonderfully complex character, who had so many things going on it was hard to not feel sympathetic for her. Truthfully, I also loved Dr. Hunter. I thought that the way he handled the dilemma of the virus and how driven he was to solve it was an amazing twist to a plot line that I thought I had completely figured out, boy was I wrong.
I definitely enjoyed this book and I thoroughly recommend it!

My Inner CriticMy Inner Critic by Christine Bernard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My Inner Critic is the author’s own journey, told through a story. It is an interesting journey to the discovery of self-love.
Everyone has inner demons and are critical of themselves but Christine has put them on paper in a made-up world. It’s a very raw and anxiety ridden story that is relatable with many.
Emily’s struggles with anxiety and accepting herself was very confronting and honest. No one wants to bear their soul but that is what Christine has done in a clever way.
I’m and extrovert and have many of the same struggles with anxiety and depression that Emily goes through and it is scary to take a look at and expose yourself to yourself in the mirror. It’s hard to not know who you are and who you will become. But it is comforting to realise you are not alone.
I really liked the character of Blake his ability to see things in colour and not just black or white. He made no fuss and he liked Emily no matter what. I enjoyed their easy banter.
There is hope out there.

Caspian's UnbirthdayCaspian’s Unbirthday by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My favorite books by this author have to be all of the books with Caspian. Not only is the artwork lovely to look at, I am so jealous that Caspian and his grandpa have so many cool adventures together. The story is so exciting and very creative, I love to see what unbirthday present Caspian gets next and what fun he gets into.
