This is the first book in the PolyAm Fam series. First off Molly Rose the main character is a curvy girl and I love a book with a strong curvy FMC. Lachlan is Scottish and agrees to help out in a student’s thesis project. The sparks between Molly and Lachlan as the play progresses. Molly is part of a polycule. This is the first poly book I have read and I found the whole dynamic interesting.

This is the second book I have dread of the Game Time Series and I just loved it. Wyatt (Bax) and Piper have unbelievable chemistry. Neither of them were looking for a romance but what they found could be more than they thought they would ever find. Piper is so strong and independent and Wyatt is more than anyone realizes.

This series is like fine wine it ages we’ll with each addition 📚❣️😉
When you’re about to bring up your breakfast while reading you know you’re in for a treat ! I know it sounds a little twisted but when you’ve a visual mind and the writing is brilliant it’s inevitable!
Before I go any further I just must say how much I enjoy this descriptive writing style I can almost smell and taste the delicious coffee shop , I can see the elderly couple in the restaurant, I’ve formed a very vivid picture of the characters by Becky’s descriptions of them … love it when I live a book like this , I get totally lost !
Noah is on the hunt for “Romeo” a killer that leaves rose petals and beautiful music but a grotesque scene behind and right now he’s in Philly but he’s changed his MO and something feels different …..
Sadie our undercover Land Rover driver zoots around on her line green Vespa looking more like a college youngster than the professional forensic artist that she is has crossed paths with Noah , it was a painful time in her life but she found comfort in Noah …..
Noah and Sadie are very comfortable around each other and Sadie is very perceptive of Noah’s character and I think that’s why they work well together
I’m not going to lie I had moments where I thought I’d loose my stomach content , my heart rate went sky high and I held in to the edge of my seat this was a brilliant read ! There’s was enough suspense and tension to keep me on my toes and not get totally lost in Sadie and Noah ( I can’t help it they’re amazing ) this was one of those reads that I wanted to shout about from street corner but held onto to that thought because orange isn’t my colour 🤣🙈

This is the 5th installment in the amazing Becky Flade’s Philly Heat series, and let me just say, I couldn’t put this book down once I started!

Here we have another friend of Cray. The Rhymes are spot on, the illustrations are fantastic and engaging as per usual. I really enjoy these stories. The quick easy lessons that captivate the little minds around me. I will continue sharing these stories with the Littles.

Marcy is asked to help put together costumes for the local theaters upcoming play. Mike, the director, wants the beat play possible. Marcy finds herself battling with Mike, her ill mother, and a ghost she encounters in thr costume room; can overcome it all to help solve the mystery that was brought to her. This was the second installment in the series and was just as good as the first. It was a fast paced mystery that pulled you right in. This can be read as a stand alone novel but I don’t know why you would want to.

Young – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Free Men and Dreamers, Volume 1 takes place just before the War of 1812, and documents the events leading up to in a fictional drama/romance. Following the story from a historical viewpoint was really fun for me, I loved learning more about the times before the war and this story covers both America in her early days as well as England following their loss of the Revolutionary war.
This book is heavier on the scene set ups and background building than conversations and dialogue, which made it more of a challenge for me personally. It was also heavy on the miscommunications and love almost and possibly still lost. I love world building but also need more dialogue so if you’re like me, keep that in mind. Otherwise it was a really amazing read and I truly did enjoy it!

True North is a private detective who has been hired by an ultra rich man, Skidmore. True is investigating the untimely death of Skidmore’s son. Skidmore does not believe that the man who was convicted of the crime is guilty. This book had my attention from the very beginning. Book 1 is very good and I look forward to reading the next book in the True North Series!!!

This is the 3rd book in the DAG Team Series. This is the first one that I have read and I didn’t feel like I was lost so it can be read as a stand alone. It did make me want to go back and read the first 2 books. Mateo wanted out of his life of crime. Janey had finally got her life on track after escaping her abusive home life. Neither of them expected to see the other again. He had saved her before, could he do it again? Would the twist of fate that brought them together destroy them both? The dynamic between Mateo and Janey is sweet and spicy. I absolutely loved the characters in this story.

A. J. Ullman has created an awesome murder mystery! He truly set the bar high with the first book of this series, Murder at Music Hall. This first book seems like a very interesting series from A.J. and I love me some really good crime stories. A.J. has a unique way of writing dark crime stories and has a way of making you feel like you are part of the mystery. I started reading the book and before I knew it, I was completely consumed by the story. There was so much mystery and suspense, drama and angst. True knows this case is going to take everything he has and is going to take some major thinking outside the box. The murder isn’t even his biggest hurdle he has to jump, it’s the rich, snotty, and pain in the butt people that seem to be making things more complicated for him. It was a long night of reading because even if I wanted to, I could not put it down. This story is full of lies and betrayal, and manipulation. I found myself lost in every word turning page after page and I am looking forward to reading more from A.J.!

J. Ullman – Review by Mary Espinoza
Basil is a delightful concoction of paranormal romance and comedic adventure that left me craving more! K. Rose masterfully weaves together elements of the supernatural with the everyday struggles of modern life, creating a unique and captivating world.
The protagonist, a curvy biomedical engineer turned vegan vampire, is refreshingly relatable as she navigates the unexpected twists and turns of her newfound existence. From opening a juice bar and tanning salon to attracting the attention of a diverse array of supernatural suitors, her journey is both heartwarming and hilarious.
Rose’s writing is witty and engaging, drawing readers into a world where danger and passion collide. The chemistry between the protagonist and her suitors is palpable, keeping me eagerly turning pages until the very end.
Basil is a must-read for fans of reverse harem romance and paranormal fiction alike. With its clever premise, lovable characters, and pulse-pounding action, this book is sure to leave readers thirsting for more.

This is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free series. This story follows Suki and Frank. Suki works in a club as a flapper and Frank works for Al Capone. The club comes under fire and Suki barely escapes with the help of Frank. She is injured and will not be able to dance for weeks. Frank claims her as his own and can take care of her. This was a great glance into what life looked like during the Roaring 20’s.
Piper is sitting in the bar trying to drink away her problems but why do these college boys keep trying to chat her up, so it becomes a game to get rid of them until Charlie her ex decides she is destine to be his again. After some uncomfortable back and forth conversations she hears low timbre voice behind her which saves her from her ex.
Wyatt “Bax” Baxter has been watching the firecracker all night batting away the boys until he sees that this one is different and comes to her rescue. Upon chatting and find out her name she proceeds to escort her to her car, but things get heated up pretty quick and when she leaves without giving him her number, he becomes obsessed with finding her.
Piper had her one night with the star football player but as she interacts more with him the feelings are coming to the surface although she swore off men, Wyatt is starting to inject faith in her that not men are bad.
Can Wyatt convince Piper he is nothing like her ex and hopefully have his forever woman?
This is not the first book I have read by this author and is not going to be last, you know when you pick up a Tam DeRudder Jackson book that the writing and character are well written and developed and this is brilliant.
Piper’s character is trying to shield her heart but as you read through her story you she that even with money you can be just as miserable and lost in life. Although when she meets Wyatt from the first interaction you are willing her to trust her instincts and go out with the character. Wyatt although is an alpha male character you get to see his vulnerable side and kind, charming character with each interaction the two of them have in the story.
I love the secondary characters and am hoping with get Chessly and Finns story as there is something bubbling and would make a great book to read. Can wait to read more.

Molly is just finishing her Master of Fine Arts degree and as part of that she has to written, produce and direct a play. While her search for the leading man has not gone to plan her girlfriends brother suggests an employee at the University who may be perfect for the role.
When Lachlan auditions for Molly she sees he is perfect for the role but takes a chance as he has no acting experience. As the rehearsals go on there is some flirting and attraction between them when Molly explains she is in a Polycule and this enhances there chemistry even more.
I love Phoebe’s writing and this is a new genre which needs more representation on and was a joy to read. Understanding the terms and relationships added a layer to the story and you uncover more about the people. This is definitely a story around Molly’s characters and what she wants from both partners in her relationships.
I can’t wait to read more books in this series and from Phoebe.

The Reluctant Spy is a fun chapter book aimed for children ages 7-12 but I think children of any age can enjoy this story. This author is one of our favorites so we had to read it This one doesn’t have colorful illustrations to go along with the story but that didn’t stop my son and his imagination. Follow along with Timmy on his adventure of a lifetime when he finds a very special mouse named Hildegarde. What happens when they find themselves on a spy mission? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. We look forward to reading more from this Author.

Another wonderful book by a new favorite author of mine, Naomi Valkyrie. I absolutely love her style of writing. Each one of her books draw me in and I have a hard time pulling away to do real life! This one was no different. She does a great job world building and the characters are just amazing. The story was a little slow at first but just wait. It picks up and is very worth your time. I do recommend reading the short prequel but it’s not necessary.

Such a fun book to listen to! I did not read the book first, so this was my first experience with it, but I loved it! I’m not a big history buff, but listening to it read by a narrator with an awesome accent that feels like old time story telling really captured my attention! Crazy story! Good characters, totally worth the time!

Naomi has to be one of the most creative authors I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Who would think aliens and werewolves would go together? This story has me hooked from the first sentence. Nothing else mattered but finishing this book. Xenobia is such a wonderful being. Her dedication to protecting women who escape slavery and abuse is honorable. This novel has action, romance, friendship, lessons that you can apply to your own life.

Her girlfriend, Poe, recommends a guy she knows and speaks with him about auditioning for the play. Enter Lachlan, a maintenance man who has never acted before, but he is Scottish. He is unsure of trying out for the play until he sees Molly, then he is all in. Sparks fly but she hasn’t been with a man in about a decade and he isn’t looking to date.

BOOKBUB- It Comes From Within (House Valdis Series) by Naomi Valkyrie
After six months, the stress of the House Valdis expansion is starting to take its toll on everyone. Xenobia has taken her time with the transition in an effort to show the former House Muerte members that she is not like their former Master.
Unfortunately, her good intentions have left the way wide open for insurrection. An unsanctioned blood den is discovered, and in the process of investigating the parties involved, an unexpected enemy is revealed.
The new discovery sends Xenobia on a trip down memory lane. Will she find that her memories are the solution to victory, or will they only be there to haunt her forever?
This book will be best enjoyed after reading the first book in this series, The Rise of House Valdis. The House Valdis series is intended for readers 18+.
Naomi Valkyrie, often called a Firebrand Provocateur, brings her unique Autistic perspectives and curiosities to life by weaving tales of deep connection, mystery, and romance. She is inspired by being able to spontaneously create a thought that takes on a life of its own, opening up new adventures for her readers.
The Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy realms are particular areas of interest for Naomi as they allow for the vast exploration of magic, adventure, and the impossible while creating diverse characters that her readers connect with on an emotional level.
When she isn’t attending to familial connections, Naomi loves a dark, comfy reading space surrounded by the symbolism of her spiritual archetypes and her daemon/familiars, while she sips her tea and immerses herself in imagination.

Murder At Music Hall is the first book in the True North Murder Mystery series by A.J Ullman. This is a thought-provoking crime thriller that had me engrossed right from the get-go. As expected from Mr. Ullman, this story is well-woven, intriguing, and suspenseful. And again, Mr. Ullman’s attention to detail and meticulousness gave this story the authenticity, believability, intrigue, depth, and mystery that others in the same genre are sometimes lacking. I was completely immersed in his story, and can’t wait to continue the series. Bring on Book #2! So, if you love crime and investigation thrillers, twists & turns, intriguing storylines, complex characters, depth, and plenty of tension — then this is definitely the book for you! Happy Reading…

I have read several books by Ms. Alexander and have yet to be disappointed. So often you get a female lead without an ounce of fat and is happy with her body. Ms. Alexander is a wonderful role model for body positivity. I wish there was a lot less fat shaming.
Molly and I are both short and curvy, but I’m not nearly as comfortable in my skin as she is. She’s got a loving partner and built her own little polycule and is happy. She’s stressed with Grad School and her play which is her final project for school and lacking a leading man. Enter Lachlan thanks to a shove from Poe.
Lachlan’s voice is still going through my mind, or at least what I think it would have sounded like and yum. Not sure why some accents are more appealing than others but I’m a sucker for a good one. He is an average guy who was simply working when approached and convinced to help Molly.
As always the main characters along with the supporting characters are all wonderful and intriguing. Ms. Alexander does a wonderful job developing each and every character on her books.
She is one of my favorites and don’t think twice when I see she has a new release. Looking forward to the next one.

Prequel is a must before you read this book. Naomi Valkyrie is like my book goddess no joke. Her mind, her characters, her worlds, stories, just everything is diamond level amazing. This book is told from the perspective of primarily three to four people but has a total of six pov’s by the end of the book. Xenobia has been on Earth now for seven years, arriving after the events of the prequel with her newly discovered powers. While she has worked hard to learn how to control them an event five years ago caused her to unleash for a moment. Now that issue has returned. Javier is a power-hungry man that will do anything to become a vampire, including forgetting his previous encounter with the true Xenobia and start to send her “messages”. The first is by kidnap of a man’s daughter to “repay” a debt only he is erased when paying it. Luckily, he was able to call Xenobia and she went there to save his daughter and take her in only to heal her in a way she never had before. Giving her blood to the girl to save her life had some risk of powers developing in the girl. Mercy is now alone having lost both of her parents and is now different on a cellular level and now can compel vampires. Detective Matthew Winters is not just a man but a shifter who after a “dream visit” reveals himself to Xenobia and she returns the reveal of herself. Onyx is a vampire that has a very entwined past with Matthew so when he shows up as Javier’s second messenger Matt is thrown for a loop when a painful truth is revealed. Chi is an ancient guardian and feels drawn to Xenobia to support her in the upcoming events with Javier. Xenobia has cut her heart from feeling now she has two men she is drawn to and a growing mountain of stress and threats coming her way. Who will Xenobia chance her heart with? Can she and her allies beat Javier? How far will he go to get the power he craves? Everything about Xenobia draws you in, how she feels others’ emotions and yet can’t read their minds. She must earn their trust and her theirs to truly understand the private feelings and the meanings behind them. Saving Mercy gave her a blessing in a way she is no longer alone in what she is at least not completely anymore. The twists, turns, growth, evolving and morphing that the story and the characters go through pull you in deeper with every page and I cannot wait for book two, I must know what happens and how it will all end. I’ll meet you there, book two, It Comes from Within.

Piper and Bax didn’t have the easiest path but I loved their journey. She is recovering from a broken heart and he swoops in to save the day.
Following Piper as she started figuring things out with her sister Pippa (who I really didn’t like), parents and love was quite frustrating and entertaining at the same time.
I wish my daughter had found a guy like Bax while she was in college. He is q good southern young man who listened to his Mama. His manners and respect for women was wonderful to read.
Have I mentioned I really don’t like Piper’s sister? She caused a lot of damage to Piper and her relationship with her parents on top of everything else she did.
I love the dynamic of the guys, they act what I feel like teammates would, just like brothers.
I cannot wait for the next book and find out what’s going to happen. I’m fully invested in this series.

This was a great 5 star read. Once I started I was pulled right in. This is James and Sarah’s story. Sarah is a travel nurse that is hired to help Jame’s father. There is an instant attraction between them, can James convince Sarah to be with him?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great, even though James pushed my buttons at times. We get drama, love, steaminess and so much more. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, you could feel it coming off the pages. I also had some LOL moments with the bantering between them. This is the last book in the series and can be read as a standalone. I highly suggest reading from the beginning. If you are looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today.
