My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dinosaur Friends: A Present for the Volcano
This is a very cute book of friendship and science. Conifer and Spike are two friends that see a volcano erupt. They are trying to get out of the area. Spike has an idea. They try to improve the volcano’s mood with a gift. Making a “necklace” for the volcano ends up saving them from the lava. The story involves dinosaurs, volcanos and rocks. What more could kids ask for. Parents will see the kids get some fun out of science reading it. It’s a win win. The illustrations are bright and colorful. Bite size text. It’s the perfect book for storytime.

Dinosaur Friends: Saving Conifer’s Eggs
A forest fire threatens Conifer’s eggs. Spike helps Conifer figure out how to safely move them. Again, the kids are learning science in a fun way as they read about the dinosaurs trying to figure out how to get out. A win win because my grandson loved this book. He’s pretty black/white in his thinking so he took it a step further: how can they float? They are very heavy.
These books are really good for starting conversations.

Grave Digger Academy (Grave Digger Academy Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Carlie Del Gallo

Grave Digger AcademyGrave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW WOW WOW!! C.A. King has done it again! I was floored by this novel! When I was reading the synopsis before purchasing the book, I was drawn to the story because it was giving me “Harry Potter” novel vibes and I was not disappointed! This book was revolving around Makayla, who is staring her first year in school learning potions and how to become a grave digger. She is met with many obstacles as well as trials in the story. I read this book in one sitting and was so entranced I did not put it down once. Reading this story was wonderful as it was original and such a great read. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next books and see where she and her friends go and what they learn or accomplish. If you are looking for another GREAT read, then look no further because this book is AMAZING!!!

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so cute, original and just such a fun read! The story is around blind dates but not in the typical sense of blind dates that we are accustomed too, but where the people meet in darkness and get to talk/interact where they cannot see the person. This version of blind dates would be something that I would enjoy being a part of as this way you met and fall for the person not their appearance. Jake is one of the main characters who has had a bad go of dating as the women who chose him only want him for his money. On the other hand, Lauren does not have a lot of money nor does she like rich men as she does not want to be thought of as a gold digger. When they met sparks fly but will it be enough for them to stay together through different trials and tribulations? This book was wonderful and the authors’ writing style was wonderful! I cannot wait to read more books written by this author as well as more books in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok first I will say that going on a blind date in a completely dark restaurant is odd but kind of intriguing at the same time. This book was great. Jake wants to find someone to love him for him, not his money. Lauren is always working with no social life to speak of. Their friends set them up on a blind date at the blind date restaurant. When Lauren finds out that her date is her boss’s friend whom she has met previously she is concerned. The last thing she wants is to seem like a gold digger. Will they hit it off? Will he give her a chance knowing she is just an assistant? I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book one of the series. I’ve never read anything by this author but I enjoyed this book.

Jake hasn’t had any luck with dating. Which is understandable when everyone knows who Jake is and how much money he has. It’s hard to know who is just using you for what you can do for them. During poker night, Jake’s friends talk him into not giving up and instead they are all going to use a blind date service but they can’t pick their own dates. Jake doesn’t really want to but figures he has nothing to lose. Lauren just wants to find a nice, respectful man to share a life with. She’s got a painful past and rich men who think they own the world are kind of a trigger for her. After some convincing from her bosses (who happens to be Jake’s friend Cade) sister, Catherine she decides to give blind dates a try, even if just to get her off her back. Neither Lauren or Jake expected these dates to ho anywhere but they click. What will happen when Jake and Lauren learn more about the other?

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the premise and the characters were easy to like. It was well written and I can’t wait to read the next book.

Desperate to make his fantasies a reality, Bax unleashes a creature called Ifrit, but soon learns this djinn isn’t what the ring led him to believe. Feeding off the depths of his subconscious, the sinister demon fulfills what he thinks Bax wants by manipulating, threatening, and murdering.

Two Dinosaur Stories in One Book. Flip it over and read another story. These dinosaurs are best friends, but sometimes they disagree.

A present for the Volcano

Spike (an ankylosaurus) sees a volcano erupting. He thinks it is unhappy.  He wants to give the volcano a present to cheer it up.  He gets his friend Conifer (a tyrannosaurus) to help him build a necklace of stones around the base of the volcano. When it does erupt, the stones block the lava flow.

Saving Conifer’s Eggs

Spike and Conifer smell smoke and know they must leave the forest. But Conifer is sitting on her eggs. She has three eggs and only two hands.  When she lifts her nest, she must walk carefully so they don’t clack together. Spike is impatient and swings his tail back and forth.  He knocks down a Ginko tree. The two friends decide to take the fallen tree to the river and use it to float away from the fire.

Learn about volcanos and egg-laying dinosaurs. Learn about friendship, too.

Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children, four grandchildren and a dog.

But her mother scorns her ambitions as witchery and decrees her daughter must have a husband to settle her.

While a desperate Hester battles for her dream, Aaron must reconcile his past to accept the future. Will the river help, or hinder?

Remember to Forget Me (Too Lost To Love, #1)Remember to Forget Me by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I devoured this book in one sitting, once I started I didn’t want to put it down. Wesley has lost 6 months of his memory from an attack 10 years ago. His career is booming, he is a heartthrob rockstar. He has been having issues sleeping and when he sees a woman that is familiar to him it starts to stir things in him. Of course fate steps in and he sees the woman again and this time he is able to talk with her.
My heart went out to Addison, to watch the man you love grow his career and not remember the love you shared. Watching from a distance, until one day she comes face-to-face with him. Will he finally remember her? Can they get back what was lost years ago or will he hate her?

There is so much more to this read. We get dual POV, which I love so we can see what both characters are experiencing and thinking. We get several twists and turns that you won’t see coming. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. A couple of them made me angry for the way they treated Addison. We get some steamy moments. If you’re looking for a great 2nd chance romance, 1-click and get started today on this one. I look forward to reading more in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve never read anything by this author, but I’m really impressed with this book. The beginning is a little slow, and feels very cut and dry with his writing style, but it is fan freaking tastic. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m happy I gave it a chance. It is a longer book, and took me a while to finish it. If you’re a crime person, then this is a book you’ll enjoy. I’m on a bit of a book hangover from a series I recently finished, and this is the aspirin that helped take the edge off. Definitely give it a try!

The Girl Who EscapedThe Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This thrill-a-minute story kept me entranced and reading. The plot is excellent. The characters are real and flawed and fun. The super intelligent dog is amazing. The fast-moving pace is driven by the action and is fantastic. The multiple point of view story telling gives you such a 360 view of the story.

Brenda is an FBI agent with an elite division. This elite division works as a team to serve as victim advocates for survivors of mass killing events. Brenda is doing it alone. She is working with single survivors such as Angie, who is the only survivor of the event that left her three friends dead and Angie mute. Brenda tends to follow the rules which left her on the wrong side of the person that could help her the most with Angie, Jake. Jake is a former Marine that works with an elite K9, Cody, that serves as a therapy dog and search dog and much, much more.

Brenda, Jake and Cody must work through their past issues to help Angie regain her voice and solve the mystery surrounding her friend’s murder. Or determine that Angie is making it all up and actually is murderer.

The banter is delightful and makes you laugh out loud. This was my first book in the series but I think I might go back and catch up. The sizzling chemistry between Brenda and Jake makes me hope that in one of the future books that they might actually get together. But would that ruin the blossoming friendship?? Oh dilemma!! Thank goodness I am just the reader. Loved this book.

So hale and his mates get together for a round of poker and now that he’s free again they’re all keen to set him up but he’s a little nervous , he wants someone who sees him for Jake the man and not his purse strings ……

Lauren has a thing against rich men , she doesn’t like that see woman as an “accessory “ she feels that because they’re so wealthy they can dictate and while it’s true in some instances I feel it’s an unfair “judgment” but she her reasons …

So Jake and Lauren seem to hit it off but there’s a slight twist in the tale … Lauren’s friend Catherine has a brother Cade and she works for him but get this he’s Jakes’s friend so you can imagine their surprise when Jake visits Cade and puzzle pieces start fitting together …. I had a chuckle but I was also nervous as to Lauren’s reaction but it turns out I had no worries that is until Lauren’s mum pulls a nasty move , girl this is your daughter back off ! I was mad 😡 but these 2 ride this challenge as well …..they’ve got their cheerleaders 😍

Such a fun read actually and it was so easy to love these characters and cheer them on in their journey of love and happiness ❣️

Max Logan is a Marine recovering from wounds suffered during his time in the service, physical and mental.  Max moved back to the one place he felt was the closest thing he had to home.  It was working well for him.  He had a steady job, a routine, friends and he was getting better.  The only thing missing in his life was something he never thought he would find, love. 

 

Maddy Ward is the very precocious 7 year old daughter of his neighbor and waitress at the local diner.  Maddy always says hello, talks, and has questions for him when she sees him.  Maddy has determined that her mother needs a boyfriend And, she thinks Max is the perfect choice.  

 

Skylar Ward has been burned by the one man she was supposed to be able to trust, her husband.  Since he chose to walk away, Skylar has been everything to her daughter.  Now as Maddy is playing matchmaker, Skylar is finding that she might be ready for a relationship again.  But it is never that easy.  There is so much standing in their way, including past secrets and old flames.  

 

I loved how the story focused on his problems.  Yes, Sky had some baggage but she didn’t need to be protected or saved.  She needed to be loved, treasured, and respected.  Max had to work through his stuff before they could be together.  She was rescuing him.  Beautiful.  I thoroughly enjoyed the listen.  Excellent story with a little heat.

This book started out with a bang! Several girlfriends are on a mini vacation in Florida when one of them gets a feeling they’re being watched. They’re offered a round of drinks in a bar but Angie didn’t want to chance anything since she was the designated driver. From there things happen rather quickly from them being taken hostage to her being accused of murdering her friends. Where is the culprit? He has disappeared into the darkness and left Angie to take the blame. Being the top guy in the line of work he does he can’t risk being caught. He vows to find her and either turn her over to the man he works for or kill her. Will she be able to prove she is innocent and get justice or will she be stuck behind bars for many years to come?

This isn’t my normal read for starters. I really enjoyed that it was action-packed and a bit suspenseful. I usually watch things like this and not read them. Romano and Raven were drawn to one another from the start and I really loved reading their story come to life on the pages. Sort of like Romeo and Juliet they are from two completely different worlds and aren’t supposed to be together, it breaks every rule. They can’t be not together though so they are faced with the trials that come with it.

I was so exciting to see another book in this series, I had to start reading it straight away as I couldn’t wait. I was instantly transported straight back into the world that this author has so imaginatively created. This book, like the others, just adds to how outstanding this series is. Each one I think is better than the last and that the author surely can’t do any better. Each time she shows us just how much more she has to give.
The characters and the story blend so well in this book. Each compliments the other and makes the book all the better. This author is one I now never fail to pick up and read as I always know I am going to get an amazing story. This is one series I would highly recommend.

The way that Theresa tells a story, makes you feel like you are part of it. I truly felt like I participated in every single word!
I will definitely read more of her books!

What an incredibly heartwarming, beautiful, and slightly messy love story! I was immediately drawn to this book from the title– the idea of loving someone in the past, and then coming back to fight for that love really pulled me in and the author did not disappoint! The author added layers of detail that both enhanced the story and added to the characters. I felt that the characters were relatable, complex, and engaging- as I read, I NEEDED to know what would happen to them next. I am looking forward to the next book following this juicy love triangle.

I love discovering new writers, and I especially love discovering ones that will bring me back for more and that is just what Hazel Storm did with Remember to Forget Me. I know I won’t soon forget this wonderful second chance romance and the characters that captured my heart.

Addie and Wesley were once friends who shared a love of music and that friendship led to a teenage romance. However, their beginning was also their ending with a tragedy that almost led to Wesley’s death. Now, ten years later that romance might get a new beginning. This isn’t your normal second chance romance though. You see our leading man, Wesley, has no recollection of who Addie is. The only thing he remembers is the songs they wrote as teenagers, but he doesn’t remember that the songs that put him on the path to stardom were written with her. If the plot of this story sounds intriguing, it is.

I was drawn into their story from the very first pages. I loved the angst, and I loved the mysterious part of the book even more. Who almost killed him all those years ago, and why does Addie blame herself? I also kept dreading when he finally did regain his memory of that time and how it would affect their new relationship.

Not only was this an emotional romance, but it was also a story about hope, forgiveness, and second chances. It also delves into bullying, and what makes someone into a person that would hurt someone else. The answer is not always such a clear-cut one.

I fell in love with both Addie and Wesley, but I have to say Ash might tie for my favorite. What an intriguing character! I am hoping he will get his own book in the series! That will be an incredible read!

Hazel Storm isn’t just a writer, she is a storyteller. Her words are magical and lyrical, much like the songs that Addie and Wesley created together. I’m really looking forward to reading more of this series. She has found a new fan in me!
