Deceptively Yours and I just didn’t see eye to eye! There should definitely be trigger warnings involved. I had high hopes for this book and it fell flat. The story seemed forced and at times the book didn’t flow. I think I kept looking for something that was missing and it made it hard to get into and really love the book. I will not let this deter me from this author though and I will try other books by her.

Romance and dogs are on top of my list of things that will help me enjoy a book. This book had both of those and a lot of spice. If you don’t enjoy M/M/F then stop here, it will not be the book for you.
Callum, Weston & Petra were right together from the very beginning in my opinion. They just had that vibe that worked.
They all gave their back stories and I feel that Petra’s had the most potential to be a bigger part of the book and was a little disappointed that wasn’t explored more but it didn’t make me like the book any less.
This is the first time I have read anything by Ms. Talix and sincerely hope it’s not the last.

Sasha Smart by Shermaine Perry-Knights is a wonderfully written children’s book of short stories that children of any age can enjoy. It’s aimed for middle school aged children 8-12 but my son is almost six and he loved this book. I love that there’s a lesson to be learned and that it’s ok to be different and it’s ok to make mistakes because that’s how we learn. My son liked the illustrations and Sasha he kept saying he understood what she was going through but for a girl. .Friends and Friendships are important yet so is family. I know this might be about Sasha and young teen girls but my son really liked this story and said boys can read it too. We highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. We look forward to reading more from this Author.

This is a collection of novels, all featuring one family. They are good people, but certainly not perfect. Can they be manipulative? Absolutely. Overbearing? Without a doubt. But in the end, they will always have each other’s backs, and some of them may even experience growth and humility along the way.

This was such a great book! I love mysteries! I like to read books that keep me on the ends of my seat. I just could not stop listening! I drive for work and this was great to listen to while on my route today. I recommend for anyone who drives for work and anyone else who love mysteries. This kept me so busy!

I enjoyed reading this romance story. I enjoyed how the author pulled me into the story from the beginning. This is a well written story about what happens when a best man and a maid of honor need to work together to make sure a wedding comes off without a hitch. What they don’t expect is their attraction to each other. Gabriella and Colby are great characters that you don’t want to miss what happens between them. I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry throughout the story. They are strong characters that have a strong attraction which adds to the story. They are relatable and had me coming back for more. This is a fast paced, hard to put down, easy to read story. I really enjoyed reading this book for sure. I highly recommend this book

C. Sheppard – Review by Bobbi Wagner
I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed their writing skills as well as their attention to details that made the story come to life. This is a well written story where the twists and turns will have you coming back for more. The characters are relatable and add so much to the story’s entertainment value. Janey and Mateo are great characters. There is a mole amongst them at DAG. Will Janey and Mateo figure out who the mole is? Will they give in to feelings and work through issues they have? This is such a great story. It is fast paced and hard to put down. A story that is easy to read and one you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

Another book that met my expectations. I loved learning more about Macy and Brandon and their very non traditional start and the journey of getting back together. Reading about Miranda made me laugh so hard and as a mom, I could just envision all the chaos that little girl was causing! I have enjoyed the connections to the previous books and all the overlapping of characters and storylines. Another successful book from Brooke May.

Another good read from Brooke May and the Powder River Pack Series. I enjoyed the storyline between Rylie and Mason. Loved the added twists and turns along the way, taking the reader on a fascinating journey of these two fated mates. I really loved the characters of Rylie, Mason and Archer, which made the book all the more enjoyable. If you like werewolf stories, this is another great one in the series. Ready to see which pair is up in book 3!

I am enjoying the Pact stories by Tricia/Maria and was excited when I saw there was another book out. I have read a lot of work written as Tricia and have enjoyed them all immensely. I love the variety of genre’s that she writes in both names. Perfect Office Pact by Maria Jane is a contemporary romance tale. I liked that she is now writing in the third person POV because it gives a story more depth and gives us as readers a much broader and in-depth insight into the person, their feelings and their thoughts. Declan and Mira have a push pull relationship neither quite knowing how to express their feelings. There were times I wanted to smack them and tell them to get it together and other times I wanted to hug them. The jury is still out on Mira’s use of the pact. Perfect Office Pact is written well but the ending for me feels like it ended abruptly. It didn’t quite finish as smoothly as it could have. Having said that the story is fun and keeps readers engaged. This book will keep you entertained with fun and humour, emotions, some angst, a fair bit of frustration and some sweet romance.

4.5 stars Oh, Anise you don’t know how happy I am to see another series is out. Deceptively Yours is a deviously dark second chance romance with some trigger warnings. It has romance, steam, spice, chemistry, drama, angst, danger, action and some violence and more that keep those pages turning and before you are ready it is over. The characters are well developed as is the twisty storyline. I wanted to smack them at times. Gabriel and his hatred and Harper who continues to keep the secret of why gave him up all those years ago. Even though 9 years had separated them she could not let the boy now man she loved be in danger. Gabriel never knew what Harper sacrificed for him and he doesn’t want to know. What will he do when he finds out? If he finds out. If you love a dark romance tale and want to know what happens you will have to read it for yourself, and I strongly suggest that you should, or you are missing out on a good tale.

Seal Gray is playing with his beach ball when he loses control of it. Several things transpire from that and Gray finds himself in a situation where he’s lying about the ball being his. This book focuses on telling the truth and preserving friendships.
The illustrations in this book are very colorful and attractive. Be sure to show anyone you are reading this to the pictures. If a young reader is reading to you, use that as a teachable moment about items in the pictures, as well as the story itself.

Wow! Another great read by C.A. King! Although the author got the whole story into this short book, I wanted so much more. I really got in to it and then it was over! But as usual, she shows her talent in world building and the paranormal.

From the moment I started reading this book I found it impossible to put down. It is well written, intense and such a great story. I loved the characters. The push and pull between them is captivating and I could have read about it so much more. Even through the hatred, there was an undeniable chemistry and for me that is what I loved the most about them. I thought the story was really strong. It matched the characters so well and I was swept up in what the author was telling us. I love this authors writing style and this book is a great example of why. This book is absolutely fantastic and I loved it from start to finish.

The first thing I would like to say about this book is that it needs a trigger warning. There are discussions of unwanted assault that I believe needs addressed for all readers.
Other than that, the book is interesting. The characters are easy to understand and they obviously care deeply for each other. It is repeated multiple times throughout the book that they are each others first and only love. Quite tedious, actually, hearing it over and over again. It is also a little frustrating watching Harper and Gabriel go back and forth being irritated with each other. The author stimulated my emotions, so obviously they struck a cord when I read this book. I just do not know that the book is for me.
Overall, I would recommend this book to romance lovers. Perhaps this just is not the romance book for me. There are multiple scenes that are not for young adult readers. I do hope this author continues to write other novels because I enjoyed the writing style, I just hope for a less tedious plot.

This is the 4th book in the Kings of Screen Series. Even though this is the 4th book they can all be read as stand alone reads as they each focus on a different couple. This is a friend’s to lovers story filled with chemistry, push and pull, angst and humour which really brings the story and the characters to life. This is Jackson and Ros story. Jackson and Ros have been friends for a long time and even though Jackson wanted more Ros didn’t want to risk their friendship even though she was attracted to Jackson. So they look like they are destined to remain friends until ….. To clear his name for sleeping with a married woman Jackson tells the world that he and Ros are in a relationship and have been for months. What follows is a story of a fake romance as Ros tries to keep up appearances without falling for Jackson and Jackson tries everything in his power to show Ros that his playboy ways are over and he only wants her. Will he succeed? Or will Ros continue to think it’s just another act?
This was quite the enjoyable lovers to enemies to lovers. A hot one-nighter to lovers after being best people at their friends wedding. I loved the flirty snark in this relationship. Being a snarky one myself, it is so much fun to watch people hide their attraction behind it. You can feel their chemistry as they try to hid the way they feel. I loved the interactions with the teammates and how they had to deal with their friends wedding. Drama, action, steamy romance make for a fun read. It’s definitely a sport romance. I love some of these hockey romances. They are really qyite entertaining. I definitely recommend this one.

C. Sheppard – Review by Shelly Kittell
This is yet another great installment in the Kings of Screen Series by Morgana Bevan. I’m a sucker for a fake relationship story any day, but it’s hard to find one that really draws me in and feels realistic; however, that is exactly what the author has accomplished here. With the dual point of view, we get to see what both main characters are thinking and feeling as they embark on this new fun adventure, allowing us to feel closer to them and their story. This contemporary Hollywood romance was definitely a fun fast read. I cherished the characters’ entertaining, often sassy banter along with the awkwardness of being forced together. I love the vulnerability Jackson, the main male character, shows throughout as he deals with the walls Ros puts up in order to protect her heart from encountering heartache like her parents went through. Will Jackson and Ros be the next Hollywood IT couple for real or will their fake relationship stay just that? I love this series and have read 3 of the 4 books (somehow I missed Book 3) in it and I definitely want to read more things by this author.

Easy to read and get lost in. I love how the author gives us both Mira’s point of view as well as Declan’s. I like that Declan has lots of layers to him. I like that the romance isn’t rushed. It made it feel more realistic. Definitely a good read.

4 Stars Dirty Heartbreaker (Hamilton Steelhawks Series) by A. C. Sheppard
Dirty Heartbreaker is the third book in the Hamilton Steelhawks Series and is a Contemporary Romance/ Sports Romance that I truly enjoyed reading. I’m fairly new to these authors but like there style of writing and attention to detail This series focuses on different players from Steelhawks Hockey team. This is Colby and Gabriella’s story. He’s a shoot and score kinda guy on and off the ice. But when he’s asked to be best man for one of his teammates he realizes that means having to put up with one person he can’t stop fantasizing about. She’s a former figure ice skater who is now a business women she’s bound and determined to see that her best friends wedding goes on without any issues. One problem she has to put up with the one person who not only gets her worked up but ignites a fire in her. These two definitely have chemistry between them in the bedroom. Can these two have a relationship? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. If you like Sports Romance then this series is definitely for you.

Kingdom Of The Oceans (Relic Hunters Series book 6) By: Martin Ferguson Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
As always, Martin Ferguson creates an amazing, thrilling, and gripping adventure. This time the chase is for the ever elusive glory filled Atlantis. The stakes and danger were never higher as Adam and Matt face old foes and a new intriguing journey. I am saddened to see this series come to a close, because I highly enjoyed this treasure hunting romp. This book and series is so much fun to read for anyone at any age and of course the cover art is stunning. The only thing I suggest besides picking up this riveting series is starting from book one Eagle Of The Empire!

I really enjoy reading books by this author. I would for sure pay attention to the trigger warnings at the start of the book, because things… get a little heavy and dark. Anise builds a fantastic world for the Titian’s. Harper and Gabriel’s story starts out sweet and then then it takes a turn for the worse. Harper has to leave due to a family tragedy and breaks Gabriel’s heart in the process. Later when Harper has to come back seeking help She seeks out Gabriel help. Gabriel makes her pay for breaking his heart. These two clash like fire and ice, but the joining is oh so sweet. Lots of spicy scenes to keep one’s heart pitter pattering and blood pressure rising. I enjoyed this book a lot and I hope that Anise writes more into this world!

Divinely Dramatic is the second book in the Divine Vintage series by Sandra L. Young. It is another interesting cozy mystery, with a touch of the paranormal which added an extra element of interest to the story. Add in some drama, secrets, a community theatre production, a 5o year-old mystery, ghostly games, some superstition, investigation, a touch of romance, fun, fashion, and a lightheaded feel. I really enjoyed the first book, Divine Vintage, and so I was happy to see this second book had released. This time we follow Marcy, who gets involved in a community theatre production as a costumer. With a fifty-year-old mystery hanging over the production, strange things begin to happen, and as things unfold, we are pulled further and further into this engrossing story. Another fun read- Happy reading…

Young – Review by Angela Hayes
Murder She Meowed is the second book in the Bookshop Kitties Mystery series by Ruth J. Hartman. I know I am always in for a treat when one of Ms. Hartman’s books lands on my Kindle- and this definitely didn’t disappoint. As expected, this is a well-woven, fun cozy mystery- a bit of a whodunnit with murder, crime & investigation, quirky characters, feline cast members, humour, banter, drama, adventure, intrigue, drama, angst, small town charm, clever touches, family, friendship, and surprising developments. Christy Bailey is thrust into the middle of a murder mystery while helping her friend clean up her pastry shop after her aunt’s wedding. But finding a body wasn’t part of the plan. Especially since the body is her friend’s ex-husband- putting Janey at the top of the suspect list- and so things take an intriguing turn. We follow along as Christy and co set about finding some answers to prove her friend’s innocence. What happens makes for an entertaining read. Looking forward to more from Ms. Hartman. Happy Reading…

3.5/5 Stars This is apart of a series but 100% can be read as a standalone with no issue. I think the ending could’ve been stronger and I would’ve liked a more climactic discussion between Ros & Jackson. I haven’t read all the books in the set but I do like that they don’t require you to.

I love curling up to a good cozy mystery and I am no stranger to this author’s books. Murder She Meowed is Book 2 in the Bookshop Kitties Mysteries, and while I did not read the first book (yet), this story could be easily be read as a stand-alone…but I will definitely by circling back to read from the beginning. This story was fun to read with mystery, secrets a few twists and turns and of course kitties!! I love how this author integrates her story along with the kitties that make it fun.
Christy and a few friends help with her Aunt Betty’s wedding event to make sure everything is perfect. What could honestly go wrong on a joy-filled day then a wedding….but to only discover at Christy’s best friends pastry shop that Janie is not only greeted by her own ex husband…..only to lead to his death. With the detective having his eyes on Janie as a suspect….what did happen to her ex. As the pieces start to come together…the question is…who would even want Tad dead….hopefully Christy and her friend Micah…along with kitties Pearl and Milton…be able to solve the mystery…
This was a fun read and looking forward to more in this series!

Hartman – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
Curse of the Forbidden Island is a paranormal romance. I’ve enjoyed many books by this author, particularly The Portal Prophecies! This is a bite-sized story with plenty packed into a short space.
I particularly enjoyed the setting! Reading this book on a bus in February, it was great to imagine a job where I could go and lie on a warm, sandy beach as soon as I’d finished for the day. We got plenty of background and development with Selene who never quite fits in or knows how to behave. Her curiosity brings readers into the story and helps us to wonder about the mysteries surrounding the island.
Although it’s a short book, I felt like it was satisfyingly complete. There’s plenty to fuel the imagination about what might happen after the story ends, but the story is well paced and the ending doesn’t feel rushed.
This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend it to adult readers who are fans of this author, and any paranormal romance fans who want to replace gloomy castles with a tropical island!

King – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This is a new to me author and she did not disappoint! Let me tell you that I devoured this book. It was just the right amount of spice combined with fantastic characters and page turning action.
When I first picked up this book I didn’t realize it was so far I to a series of other books but I still enjoyed it! While it certainly can be read as a stand alone I think that if I started from book one I would have enjoyed it much more. I can not wait to start this series from the beginning.
