My first dive into a book by this author and I am so glad I jumped. <br />The World building is brilliant and the character development is continuously good. The introductions and back stories really set the scene, we are introduced to the Xanthos (magic users) . <br />They are feared and untrusted by others, they are easily spotted by their yellow eyes. We follow Leora of Mae who escapes her adoptive family and is almost sold into servitude. On her journey she bands together with others like herself and we follow them as they face many things as Comet HaleBopp streaks the sky.<br />A really well written book and I cannot wait to read the second to see what happens next. <br />

He’s the sensible brother in the family who’d do anything to help a neighbor out. She’s a single mother on the run. Can the two resist temptation when they become unexpected roommates?

She’s the beautiful and funny travel nurse hired to help his dad. She’s also a single mom to her eight-year-old son which means she’s completely off-limits. But there’s something captivating about the auburn-haired beauty and he finds himself drawn to her like a moth to a hot flame.
When James learns she and her son are living out of a suitcase in the local economy motel, he invites them to stay with him and his two big dogs at Bennett Farms. Sara reminds him what it’s like to desire a family of his own. She’s everything he ever needed, and nothing he ever imagined.

The Rise of House Valdis (House Valdis Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

The Rise of House ValdisThe Rise of House Valdis by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Rise of House Valdis is the first book in the House Valdis series. It’s an exciting urban fantasy featuring plenty of action and romance! I’ve enjoyed other books by this author so I knew I was in for a treat with some fascinating characters and LGBT+ romance.

After getting to know Xenobia in the prequel, it was fun to see how her life on earth had developed and learn what she can do with her powers. There are also plenty of new characters to meet – I particularly liked Matthew who we learn a lot about as the story progresses.

There are plenty of threats as Xenobia tries to protect the various characters who’ve ended up under her care. She has some difficult decisions to make as she works out how to keep everyone safe, including deciding who she can trust to help her.

I’d recommend this series to readers who are fans of the author, and anyone who’s looking to get into an urban fantasy with superb world building. This book gets five stars from me!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Featuring wonderfully diverse characters, this book seeks to explore a time in our nation’s history that can be uncomfortable. The main characters are progressive and forward thinking, particularly for their times. Readers wrestle with the theme of religion versus spirituality. How can dignity be brought into totally undignified situations? Is it possible for compassion to override the inhumane? Read to find out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Treasure hunt is another fun book on the Grandma’s Closet series. Carrie opened the Dowse box from Grandma’s Closet. These boxes are always filled with fun and magical things, however, these just look like sticks. But, turns out they are magical sticks called dowsing rods, which Carrie takes around her house and yard. We had fun looking for the white cat in many of the pictures. My son says he needs the next book to find out what’s in the box from Grandma. These books are very colorful and magical.

This was a cute story. I enjoyed Fox and Bailey’s development. Both characters had growth they needed to make in order to move forward. I liked that the characters were older and easier for my demographic to connect with than twentysomethings. It was cozy and a quick read.

Magic Wanda (Grandma's Closet Book 3)Magic Wanda by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Magic Wanda is another book in the Grandma’s Closet series, and I read it with my 8 year old. We are big dans of this author, but this book was not our favorite. It required the stretching of imagination a little further than my son has, so perhaps for younger readers. Carrie’s Grandma no longer lives with them, but has a closet full of goodies. Carrie often goes into the closet when she is missing her Grandma. This time she found a box of “Wandas” – magic wands. She takes these Wandas on magical adventures around her house and yard, having them transform into various things. The illustrations are always colorful and engaging.

Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Book 3)Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mavery Ellscott has quickly become one of my go to authors. She is one author readers should get behind. After reading the first book Shadowed Obsession I was hooked. You can read each standalones, but I encourage you to read them in order because the characters interchange and you really will be missing out on all the delicious darkness. The stories just keep getting better and better.
Shadowed Deception is the third gripping book in the Shadow Defense Security series, and I think my favourite so far which hard because they have all been my favourite. I love the thrill of strong alpha males in protective mode and equally strong female leads.
I love a riveting suspense thriller, and this is one thrilling ride with twisty and surprising turns. I found myself on the edge of my set more often than not as the tension is palpable. Lets not forget the hot and sexy ex SEALs.
The characters are well developed and interesting and plot lines that are dark and gritty but feel believable. It is a captivating and engrossing, and an absolute must read you won’t be disappointed.
I need more now. I love a good psychological suspense thriller and Mavery delivers.

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago, #1)Deceptively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Wow! Anise Storm left this reader on her toes, I could not put the book down. It is a dark romance and the plot twists are around every corner. When two childhood sweethearts are swept apart by death and distance, they find themselves together again under unlikely circumstances. Storm creates a tragic backstory for both main characters, and the journey they go through to find one another again is unbelievable. The reason I rated it 3.5 stars is due to the lack of character development. I feel that I could not completely connect to them, their situation, and the storyline in this regard.

The excitement was real with my kids when they realised we had another new book by this author to read. And what a book it is. This is a great addition to the series. It is fun, imaginative and a truly great story to read. As usual, we have already read this book multiple times and I am sure we will read it many more.
For me, with every book this author produces, it is the illustrations that are the best. They bring any story the author writes to life and makes them more engaging and entertaining. We all love looking through each of them and this book was no exception. This is a fantastic book and another favourite to add to the collection.

This book is a brilliant example of how to write a great historical romance story. It is engaging right from the word go and I found myself really connecting with the characters. The way the author told this story made it even more interesting.
I loved the fact that the book was set both in America and Scotland. The characters were really well suited and it was great to watch their relationship develop. There was so much standing in their way and yet the fight in them was evident. I really enjoyed reading this story and it was a fantastic way to discover a new author.

Magic Wanda (Grandma’s Closet) by Lois Wickstrom. I love this series and my 6 year old nephew loves them as well. We read each one that comes out together. Its the continuing story of a young girl named Carrie and her Grandma who used to live with her but has recently moved. Her Grandma left a closet full of stuff so Wanda loves getting into it. When she looks this time she finds a box full of wooden flowers that her grandma calls Magic Wanda’s. The Magic Wanda’s want to play and Carrie’s mom is getting aggravated because she is trying to get ready for a party. These books are so fun and full of imagination and play.

House Valdis Origins: Xenobia (House Valdis, #0.5)House Valdis Origins: Xenobia by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

House Valdis Origins: Xenobia is the prequel to the House Valdis urban fantasy series. It is a short story that introduces Xenobia, one of the main characters in the series, and gives some of her backstory. I would say it’s not essential reading to enjoy House Valdis but it has been helping me to understand Xenobia’s motivations and behaviour.

This is quite a dark story as Xenobia and her friend Urd are subjected to slavery and violent treatment. It’s fast paced and there is plenty of action as Xenobia tries to find a way out for herself and Urd. There are moments of hope and lightness – one of my favourites sees Xenobia and Urd dancing around their room. This helps keep the story balanced.

This book gets four stars from me! I’d recommend reading it if you plan on reading the House Valdis series although it has quite a different feel in terms of pacing and genre. It really is a short read and will get you ready to delve into the series!

The Scottish Play (PolyAm Fam Book 1)The Scottish Play by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first PolyAm Fam book and I am so glad that I gave it a chance! I really enjoyed the story and characters. It was witty and adorable, but also tense and informative. In this book Molly lives with a polycule and is completing her grad school thesis project. A play she wrote is to be cast and shown for a weekend, for her to pass and graduate the program. Thankfully her girlfriend finds that PERFECT guy for her leading male role! Lachlan is even a Scotsman!! Which is perfect since the man in her play is a kilt-wearing Scot! Talk about luck right? Wrong. Unfortunately, even though he looks and sounds the part, he knows absolutely NOTHING about acting and being in a play. Molly is determined to make it work. Lachlan gets roped into helping which he doesn’t mind one bit. He thinks that Molly is cute, curvy, smart, and it doesn’t hurt that she likes his sexy scot accent. Molly starts giving him lessons, but she worries about their attraction to one another. Her polycule pushes her to find out what’s there, but she’s had a line of bad luck when it comes to dating males. Lachlan finds her whole arrangement very odd. Molly has a girlfriend after all. How can he date someone who is already taken, especially because he doesn’t normally date. Maybe a fling is both what they need. After the play they can do their separate ways right. But what about Molly’s girlfriend? Will she be okay with any of this?? Read the book to follow this funny, cute, sassy story!! You will fall in love with the characters and their world. I loved getting a glimpse into a polycule and learning more about their family. If that is the reason you are on the fence about this book, I have to tell you to just give it a chance!! It was a wonderful book!

Laurie has done an amazing job of pulling you back in time, and has clearly done her research! Every character was wonderfully written, and I fell in love with (almost) each and every character!!

Dancing Butterfly (Butterflies Fly Free Series Book 2)Dancing Butterfly by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Dancing Butterfly is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free series by Debra Parmley. It is another spicy historical romance- set in the 1920’s, with showgirls, dancing, gangsters, guns, danger, drama, angst, adventure, chemistry, sizzle, and finding love unexpectedly.
This story went in a slightly different direction than I expected, which made for a more engrossing read. I really enjoyed getting to know Suki and following all the highs and lows, challenges and achievements, along the way.
Even though this is the second book in the series, it could be read as a standalone as each instalment follows a different ‘couple’- but having said that, there are catch-ups/crossovers with characters from the first, and next book- so I really recommend reading the first book in order to get a fuller reading experience, then continue with the series.
Again, Ms. Parmley has brought the 1920’s to life, her historical details adding a very vivid and authentic feel to the story. I felt like I was transported through time.
This is a short story- so it made for a quick and easy read. I read it in one easy sitting.
Looking forward to exploring Book #3- ‘Exotic Butterfly’, which is Phylis’s story.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Debra Parmley!

Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.

A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by Jess Engel

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago, #1)Deceptively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good start to a new series. I really enjoyed the other Titans series by this author and was excited to start this one!

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. The author sets up a great plot with characters you want to root for. There is a lot of tragedy and some darker themes, but they are important pieces to the plot and really create depth to the character arcs. The author has an engaging writing style and I found myself engrossed in the book and turning the pages to the end, having to know what would unfold next. The attraction between Gabriel and Harper is palpable and there was steam coming through the pages.

While I really enjoyed this overall, I did feel there was a lot of repetition throughout the book. It is told from alternating points of view and frequently the reader would receive the same information several times as the characters rehashed events. There were moments I felt myself urging the story to just move forward because I had anticipation for what was going to happen next, but had to deal with the rehashing first.

Gabriel and Harper have a wild ride and there are wounds that run deep…can their relationship survive this wounds and the danger lurking around every corner?

Colby and Gabriella had a steamy time together once upon a time. Now they are back in each other’s orbit and they will probably spend time together off and on for many years to come. Her best friend is marrying his best friend and teammate. The push and pull between these two was a bit cliché, however it was still a fun book to read. I haven’t read any of the other books in the series and you don’t have to in order to follow this one. If you like fast paced romances with sports wrapped in I suggest giving this one a try.

Perfect Office Pact

I don’t find myself relating much to these younger characters, but I felt a connection Mira and her quest. I unfortunately decided too late to start my quest.

Mira is too young (as is her sister) to be as grown up and mature as they both are but I understand why they are both like that.

Declan has all the confidence in the world except it seems when working with Mira who was also a student of his while she was in real estate school.

I couldn’t put this book down and even stopped watching a baseball game because I had to find out what was going to happen next between the two and how it was going to end.

I absolutely adored this book, the characters and their story. I’m so glad to be off work so I can read all day instead of working. Great way to spend my day.

Dirty Heartbreaker: Hamilton Steelhawks Book 3

Why am I just finding this series? I wish I had stumbled across it sooner, but Colby and Gabriella were a great way to be introduced to the Hamilton Steelhawks hockey team.

I love sports series, while this particular book mostly takes place during the off season I enjoyed the relationships the players have with one another as well as their partners relationships with their men as well as the other significant others.

Colby and Gabby are dumb for two intelligent individuals. They don’t see what is right in front of them and do everything possible to avoid one another. But thankfully we have a happy ending.

The guys are great and I’m not sure who’s story I’m more ready for Gilly or Rocky, because I think they are both going down in flames.

I will be going back to read the first two books and will be keeping up with the Steelhawks in the future.

But of course fate happens and at her best friend’s wedding she finds herself face-to-face with Colby. They agree to play nice for the wedding but can they keep their feelings at bay? Will they work things out and get a HEA? I really enjoyed this read and their story. All of the characters added a great element to the story. This is book three of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I would suggest reading from the beginning so you can get to know everyone. If you’re looking for a good second chance sports romance this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago, #1)Deceptively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Harper and Gabriel were young, and in love, until tragedy rips them apart. Years later, when Harper returns to finds herself in Gabriel’s presence once again, their reunion is anything but happy. However, these two fight the line between love and hate time and time again. And, when everything is on the line, the side that wins will seal their fate.

I love these characters. It is intense and dramatic, while also being steamy and emotional. This is not the first book that I have read from this author…and every book has been one that I haven’t been able to put down. As this is the first in the new series, I can’t wait to see what the rest of the series has in store.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story between Colby and Gabriella was great to read. Gabriella and Colby want their best friends wedding to go without a hitch, but they absolutely loathe each other. They somehow manage to get along for the wedding and they find that they have an attraction to each other. Gabriella is former figure skater who makes costumes for figure skaters. Colby is a sniper for the Steelhawks. Their worlds clash quite a few times in the most spectacular way. I loved reading this story was quite impressed with the story building. I’m going to find the rest of the books in this series!

Fade Into the Night (Philly Heat series, #5)Fade Into the Night by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve enjoyed the previous books in this series so when Fade Into the Night became available I scooped it up. This book delivered as the previous books did and I enjoyed reading Noah and Sadie’s story. Each of the books can be read as a standalone, which is nice if you happen to start in the middle, and are edge of your seat, suspenseful, romances.

Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Kristin Boutelle

Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite #2)Savage Truth by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book starts right where it left off from the previous book, Savage Lies. The way this book is written will keep you on edge and will keep you on your toes, so that you will need to know what’s happening next. There is a lot going on at the same time between the main characters, Cole and Riley. I like how the author goes back and forth between the characters, it does give a sense of how they each relate to what’s going on in the story. Overall, as you start this series, be prepared not to get much done around the house.
