My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so sweet and I enjoyed everything about it! It was actually the first in the series I’ve read but now I’m definitely going back to read the rest. Kiki and Eric were wonderful characters. I loved going on their journey with them, even over the road bumps. I just love a small town romance and this one hit it out of the park. Highly recommend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dudes in fast cars – LOVE it! Add in paranormal and magic and I’m in heaven! I haven’t read anything by this author before but actually quite enjoyed this book. It’s marked as book 3.5 in the series; and whilst it’s a stand alone read, I think character wise I would have benefited from reading the previous books. It was still enjoyable though…..

This is definitely not a book I would normally read but I really enjoyed it. The author did leave a cliff hangar at the end of the book.

A Quirk of Destiny (Quirk of Destiny Book 1) by Catherine Greenall

A Quirk of Destiny is book one in the Apocalyptic Trilogy and is a Sci-Fi Thriller Dystopian story that definitely will have you thinking about things long after you’ve finished. This is a bit out of my normal genre but I truly enjoyed reading it and I like this authors style of writing along with characters that brought the story to life. I had a hard time putting it down. This will make you think twice before buying certain things . Im gonna tell you this makes our worlds current situations more terrifying than they already are. It definitely gives you lots to think about. Im not going to give anything away but I do highly recommend reading this book and I look forward to reading the next book in this Trilogy.

The truth is out there
This thought-provoking book had me on the edge of my seat, quickly turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. The author has based the book on a foundation of true-science which is scary enough in itself, let alone woven through with the global conspiracies and epidemic. My heart raced and my mind was blown by the possibilities. A strong start to what looks to be a thrilling trilogy. Highly recommend.

WOW this book had my full attention, I could not put it down!!! I have not read any stories by this author, and I was blown away as this was such a great Mafia Romance book to read. This book revolves around Leah, who has a trouble past who is a famous country singer whose life changes when Dominik comes into her life in a quick second. Their story was something that has me on the edge of my seat with many twists, turns and unexpected things. This book was so great that I am now going to read the other books in the series.

Steam, mystery and second chances
This contemporary romance is a page turner with action, angst and a whole lot more. Each character has a depth and the storyline unfolds descriptively. The author does not hold back on the steam. This is book 2 in the Central Florida Stories but is a stand-alone.

This was a quick read. Paige was taken with Mark from the getgo… What’s not to love? Horses, wide open spaces and romance. I haven’t read anything else by this author but enjoyed this read. As someone who lives in Aus I have formed an affinity with Montana and this book fed that addiction. Worth the time to read!

Love in the RosesLove in the Roses by T.L. Clark

I’m not a massive historical romance reader but was looking for something different. I really loved this book! Set in the 15th century T L Clark did an awesome job of setting a lifelike reality for that century. You could see the effort that had been put into the researching the accuracy of the writing for both the landscape, characters and even the way they talked.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Its the first book in the Love Through the Ages series but it was definitely a stand alone read.

Highly recommend!

Joshua Templeton married the wrong woman. Tess Browning was never meant to be his wife. He never should have said I do – but… she also never should have slept with the neighbor. 

When divorce shatters the illusion of perfection, Josh reels from the mistakes he’s made, retreating into the past to determine where it all went wrong. But when an old letter from long-lost, high school sweetheart Mavis Benson reappears, the real search for answers begins. 

Ten years before, Mavis vanished from his life. The desire to finally learn the truth ignites a fire in Josh, and her memory catapults him on a journey to uncover the mystery behind why she left. But one thing is certain – the last place he ever expected to find her… was in his brother’s bed.

What happens in Oasis, stays in Oasis.
Lisette’s father killed the King. His execution leaves Lisette alone, disgraced, and without the magic he intended to pass on to her. In Oasis, that’s a problem. Glutted with enchanted performers, Oasis is a sin city where courtiers pay in gold to drink, gamble, and above all, be entertained. To survive on its competitive streets, Lisette peddles paltry illusions in place of magic.
Desperate to prove herself, Lisette enters into a deadly competition to be chosen as the highest-ranked magician in the world, the Queen’s Jester. But her rival, the irritatingly handsome Luc, possesses the one thing Lisette does not―real magic. Lisette will do anything to win, but when evidence implicating the Queen in her husband’s murder surfaces, Lisette must choose between redeeming her family name, or seizing the fame she’s hungered for her entire life.

Stitch by StitchStitch by Stitch by Marie-Thérèse Hernon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I started reading this book, it caught me off guard thinking how realistic it was. I know many people that have been sucked in by MLM pyramid schemes and I cannot count the number of times I have been asked to host parties by acquaintances on social media. The author further delves into these types of businesses and very succinctly describes the people involved. The book gives a great sense of everyday life with the suspense of a murder mystery. It feels like it could be the story of people you know.

The thing that I think is most important about this book is that the author includes marginalized people and very astutely presents flawed characters. No one character is all bad or all good – as Elizabeth points out many times. There is a significant portion of the book dedicated to bullying at all levels/ages and there are characters who call out the bullies regardless of the tense situations doing so can lead to.

There is great messaging wrapped up in the package of solving a mystery, and I did not foresee the resolution! Good story, better characters!!

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

I love the research that went into the writing of this book. This helped bring the characters alive and the events plausible to real life. Some chapters are written from a different character view point, or continues the same viewpoint. This gives refreshing insight into what propels the story forward.
I liked the idea of the therapy dog helping the main character through her trauma and the FBI having a victim’s unit. The apple airtags was something my daughter told me about when she bought some to use. Thank you to the author for adding a section to let the reader know what was fiction and what was fact.
There is plenty of suspense to keep the pages turning. I enjoyed the book and will go back and read others in the series!

Princess of Prias by Courtney Davis – Review by Beverly Finnie

Princess of PriasPrincess of Prias by Courtney Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well Princess of Prias, I’m not sure what possessed me to jump into this book, it’s typically not my genre. I would have to say it hasn’t converted me to the genre but it’s also decent. The author put a lot of thought into the story being told. It’s well written, which was the main reason I kept reading. A book well written if it’s of interest to me or not genre wise, will always keep me interested. Also appreciative of the work assembled for enjoyment. This type of genre definitely appeals to a lot of people, and I recommend all of them to check it out!
L, never feeling like she belonged, finds out she’s not only a different species but a Princess of another planet. It’s her destiny to lead the rebels against Temis and the enforcers. Kind of sounds like something out of Star Wars, right? The problem is does she believe it, let alone believe in herself. Life on earth seems so much easier now.
Locan, destined to return the Princess to her rightful place, is battling. Battling those who feel the need to stop him, his inner warrior, and the feelings he doesn’t want to admit he has for L. He’s a royal guard that can’t happen. Learning to accept his inner warrior is going to be his biggest struggle, because he fears it. What will it make him? His father accepted his warrior and killed his mother in the process. Locan refuses to let that happen to him.
Does L accept who she truly is?
Do they get to Prias without a hitch, knowing they have Jabon and the enforcers after them?
Again if this book is your sort of thing, definitely read it. I will reiterate how the author wrote a wonderful story for all who enjoy the genre!

Thief (Popov Bratva Book 4) by Leslie Georgeson – Review by Jenni Bishop

Thief (Popov Bratva #4)Thief by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thief is a gripping and thrilling dark Mafia romance suspense tale. It is the fourth book in the Popov Bratva series. I read this as a standalone but I will be going back and starting at the beginning as I enjoyed it so much. This twisted tale will leave you addicted and wanting more. The characters are compelling and make the story come alive. It is full of everything to keep the reader enthralled with intrigue and suspense, passion and angst, lies and deceit, secrets and betrayal, danger and violence, plus a little enemy to lover’s romance.

No one steals her baby and gets away with it. No one can make him deviate from his work. That is until the two collide in the most unusual way and sparks begin to fly.

Wow! From the beginning the author gets you to visualize the workroom at Becker Courier Service. You can feel the excitement and chaotic atmosphere of those who work at there. Aimee wheels takes the bet and the bonus to get a last minute delivery out in less than a half hour. What she doesn’t realize is this delivery will change her life when she ends up saving “Mr. Moneybags” and gets shot while doing so.
The story is well written, I connected with the characters, felt the ups and downs of two different worlds colliding in a romance, and the action and danger that Aimee and Qadir face throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this book and I’m looking forward to the next book in the Girls from the Street series.

Such a fun ride!!! Courtney Davis’s, Princess Of Prias takes you on a grand adventure through the cosmos. Growing up without a mother or father, Elle has been questioning where she comes from for a very long time. Not to mention the strange blue star shaped birthmark she’s always had. When Warrior Locan comes bursting into her room spouting nonsense about Princesses and faraway planets, it’s almost impossible to believe, until he mentions her mother. Hope for the answers to the questions she’s always asked herself drives Elle into Locan’s spaceship. On a mission to save the people of her home planet from her evil uncle Temis, she learns who she truly is, and why the rebels need her help.
I had such a wonderful journey with Elle and Locan! I loved their relationship and how it manifested. This was such a unique and fun read with some deep and intense moments, it made me want more!!! Princess of Prias is fast paced and addicting. I could not put it down! Courtney Davis’s great world building and fantastical detail made the story feel so real. Every character had such rich character development even minor ones, I really felt for Leda and what she had been through. I highly recommend this book!!

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book that I have read by Grace Grahme.
She gives us a great story about Philip, who is Earl of Arburne and Anna who is his best friends sister. Anna is strong, witty and smart. I love that she doesn’t change who she is for anyone. Philip is as most see royals, very straight laced. (At least in the public eye.) The author gives you a good look at both characters sense of humor, heart and work ethic. A good glimpse at melding two different worlds. You will laugh, get frustrated and even start to think you know what is coming in some instances. As their relationship moves from friends to something possibly more there is drama but also some of the most swoon worthy scenes. I did learn quite of few Scottish words.

One of my favorite lines that had me laughing was “I’m crying more than a nun at a sinner’s convention.”

This book is absolutely one to get you thinking. It talks on the topics of genetically modified foods and plants. And as we know this is a huge topic for debate even now.

In this we are faced with what could become a reality possibly some time soon. This is the first book in this dystopian trilogy. It also shows things such as the corrupt political parties being connected to this as well.

Although at the beginning it is very science driven and slightly confusing, once you get through it is a good read for sure.

I LOVE the cover art of this book. Admittedly it was what attracted me to the book in the first place, the author was a close second.
I have read several books from this author and as usual, this didn’t disappoint. The storyline was unique and drew me in from the first few pages. The book itself is fairly short and reads quickly, so not once did my interest fade. What I’ve come to love from this author’s writing is the strong, lovable characters you become invested in.
If you’re interested in a well written, captivating storyline… give this book a go!

This is a well written story about Aimee and Qadir. They are complete opposites but they do have one thing in common, someone is out to kill them. Will they find a way to love despite what life is throwing at them? I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry. They are great characters that added to the story for me.

Shield & Shade (Ascended Guardians Series Book 1) Audiobook by Misty Hayes – Review by Alison Risher

This was an absolutely fabulous listen! Quite frankly, it exceeded my expectations. The author had angels and demons as characters, yet remained respectful of traditional Judeo-Christians beliefs. The characters were amazing. Life is rough enough when you are a high school student, but having to navigate the hallmarks of teenage drama, in addition to supernatural elements, gives listeners an added sympathy for the characters.

Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1)Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be honest, I picked this novel up because I really love when the novels I read have a character with the same name as I do, even if it isn’t spelled correctly! I absolutely loved the plot of this adventure, and the way that the female lead, Aimee, is a strong, independent woman, that way because she had no other choice. She knows what she wants and goes for it, and puts her all into everything that she does. I love that about a person, and I really was able to connect with her throughout this fantastic read.

One of my other favorite things is that there aren’t any lulls. There seems to be something always going on, and not in a way that makes the reader feel overwhelmed or unsure as to what the real story is. The author has a wonderful way with words, the descriptive nature brings the reader in and doesn’t let them go, even after the story ends. I very much look forward to reading more about the Girls from the Street, and by this author. Well done!
