My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wish I read the previous books that Nora was in ! Girl you’re a hardcore survivor! All is not as it seems and the past doesn’t always stay hidden , sometimes it comes back to haunt you …..

Nora hasn’t had it easy and I think she thought Cayman Islands was going to be a fresh start for her and it was until a young girl disappears , desperate to save her she has to face and complete challenges …….

A brilliant read that had me on the edge of my seat at times and biting my nails , in between packing my bags to head off to the Cayman islands ( the author really makes you want to go there ) I was a bit of a nervous wreck 😉

Looking forward to more time with Nora ❣️📕

OMG what a cozy little romance read! Get ready to cuddle up and fall in love. This book is like 3 stories tied into one. Each romance is set in a bookstore (which I absolutely love). Kinda reminded me of every reason I fell in love with my husband. Such a happy and lovely read.

I really enjoyed this romance story. What made it unique and different is that you get 3 romances for the price of one. The author does an amazing job of linking all the characters which makes the story flow really well. This story has it all and no matter what the circumstances proves that love will always find a way.

Firstly let me start by staying that it is Leona and her bookstore who are the matchmakers of our story.
Firstly we meet Sadie and Charlie. Both were in the book story looking for something neither of them knew they needed. When Leona sees their chemistry she plays a little switch with their purchases which means they have to reconnect. And so their friendship blooms into something amazing.

The 2nd relationship is between Fiona Gable and her ex husband. They find themselves in the same town at the same. Can Leona work her magic and repair and rekindle a love the died within the marriage?

And finally we have Leona herself. Her one love is her bookstore. She has never found that special someone. But when she hires Jon to help with repairs on her shop that could all change. However Jon is not without his own baggage. Can Leona finally give her love to more than just her bookshop? Will she finally get her happily ever after?

Jake the Growling dog Shares His Trail (jake the Growling Dog Book 3) by Samantha Shannon- Review by – Stephanie Driskill

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His TrailJake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jake the Growling Dog loves running his trail daily and meeting up with his friends that he shares his trail with. One day, Jake and friends find strange tracks on their trail and are very afraid of the unknown marks. Jake and his friends go back to the trail and eventually come across another dog whose name is Tuck. After making friends with Tuck and playing for a while, Jake realizes that his new friend Tuck is making the strange tracks due to his missing leg. In the end, Jake and his friends learn that being different in physical appearance is not something to fear and doesn’t change the inside or basic make up of a being. Great story about acceptance of those who do not appear as we do. Cute story and likeable creatures. Great lesson for our children today in a story that is easy to relate to and the discussion and projects given at the end of the book are a great way to help them understand the lesson of the story.

Bookstores are amongst the happiest places on all the earth! Leona is the owner of the bookstore and she loves interjecting into the lives of others. When Sadie stops in to grab the newest book on the shelf and, quite literally, runs into Charlie who is buying a book for his grandmother, Leona works her magic and brings smiles to many faces.
Fiona is in a new town and stumbles into Leona’s bookstore. Fiona has a new book that’s about to be available to the public and Leona wants to host a book signing party for her. It’s that flyer in the corner that catches Fiona’s eye though. She’s not sure she ever wants to see her ex-husband Prince again. Then he walks into the store during the book signing…
The pipes are a mess and water is leaking everywhere but here comes Jon to the rescue. He’s always wanted to buy this old dilapidated building and fix it up but the codgy old man who owns it won’t even consider selling. Then the pipes burst and Leona’s bookstore is a total loss. Maybe the old man will change his mind now…

This story features 3 couples with a 4th playing a huge silent role! I was having a hard time believing in this story at first because, well, it just seemed to good to be true. However, the more I read the more I fell in love and by the end of this book, these characters almost felt like family! I have never read this author before but have since added all her books to my TBR pile! I love how she writes a clean novel that is enduring and leaves the reader feeling like they get their HEA after finishing the book!

Sweet contemporary romance.
This little gem of a book has 3 stories that are interconnected and built around a very special book store. This is a clean romance with a bit of comedy, drama and HEA. Very cleverly written so that there is a natural flow from one story to the next and the timeline doesn’t miss a beat. A brilliant quick read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just absolutely adore Dragon/Draco books and this definitely fit the bill. I like how there is a complexity to the characters and plot. I love how the author builds the story conflict and then is able to get everything to work to a complimentary conclusion. The characters are very well written and really seem to jump off of the page. I really lost myself in this book. I also thought it was a very good conclusion to the trilogy.

My absolute favorite part of this book is that each of the three sort of main characters all want the same ending all just want to live in peace and stop the wars. I also like how there was a forbidden love entwined into this. I really get lost in paranormal fantasy books and I look forward to reading other books by this author in future.

Let me just start this with WHAT A FAST PACED thriller. We are met with Nora, a new Constable in the Cayman Islands. She is thrown into a situation she never dreamed of.

I do wish we had more of Nora’s background and why she was “chosen” for this particular situation. We are told part of her story but not the whole thing. Maybe that will come in the next part of the series.

This story was fast and full of dread and hope. I highly enjoyed everything this had to offer!

This is my first book by this author, and it was great! There are previous books where Nora, the main character, shows up but I did not feel like I was missing anything while reading this. I think it was a great introduction book for the character. The storyline keeps you on your toes and makes you want to know what will happen next. The ending was tied up nicely and answered all my questions. I would definitely read this author again!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nora is a native Norweigian who is living on the Grand Cayman Islands. She is a newly inducted Constable with the local police department. This particular area doesn’t see a lot of crime but Nora is chomping at the bit to do “something fun”. Little does she know that her life is about to change!
Entering a house that had a sign that lured Nora and her partner, Nora finds herself in a dangerous mind game with a girl’s life at stake. Can she maneuver through these grueling tasks that this insane kidnapper is demanding, while knowing that he’s livestreaming every step she takes?
This is a new-to-me author but not much longer! There are other stories that give a little bit more of Nora’s back story but I don’t feel like I missed a lot by not reading them prior. The author gives enough background to grasp the gist of her story. I do look forward to going back and reading other books that contain her character to see how she progresses. This book did not disappoint and kept me on the edge of my seat!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bree has always been attracted to jocks – those guys with the tight bodies and overwhelming confidence. In fact, all the men who have ever burned her have been jocks. This is why she has created some pretty strict dating rules and vows to stick to them to avoid future heartache.

After finding duds on dating apps, Bree’s best friend Chloe sets her up for tennis lessons as a way to meet new people and take some of the focus off of if every new man she meets is her soul mate. After finding Nate in her favorite chinese place and then being matched up with him again at tennis, she reminds herself that his tall, taut body is outside of her dating rules – and keeps reminding herself as she realizes not only is he easy to talk to, but he listens and remembers things she has told him. She becomes friends with Nate, but thanks to his being in good shape, she keeps him at arms length.

In the course of this book she meets other men, and some of them check most of her boxes. Will Bree find the man of her dreams, or will she choose another dud? Will she recognize what is right in front of her?

Bree was fun to read about and had a lot of periods of internal thought that felt very familiar to me. This was a light, sweet read great for the summer and I really enjoyed the relationships and characters.

Another fantastic story in this series. This one may actually be my top pick. I just felt a strong connection with the characters. All the stories have been amazing don’t get me wrong, this one just sank into my heart just a little bit more. From the very first page I knew I wouldn’t be able to put it down until I finished it and boy was I right. Glad I started it on my day off work because I couldn’t put it down. The characters are complex and relatable, they immediately had me so drawn in and I didn’t want to leave them. It’s well written and paced nicely. And you won’t forget these characters ever! Definitely adding it to my reading again list! Five huge stars and highly recommended!!!

Finally we have a book about Jonas. He is probably the most notorious of all the Titans. He’s a playboy through and through. He never goes back for seconds. He has been this way since high school. After becoming CEO of his grandfather’s company, life has been busy. Opening his new hotel, Jonas decides to hold auditions for the chef of his restaurant. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect one of the contestants to be the woman who changed the course of his life.

Mackenzie Broderick fell for Jonas in high school and her life has never been the same. Ten years later and she is still suffering. Having her own restaurant would definitely change things for the better. If she knew Jonas was the owner though, she never would have applied. Fate threw them together again. Will they reconcile their differences or will they repeat their past mistakes?

This is another amazing book in this series. I can’t even pick a favourite because they are all so good. I was happy to see that there was more depth to Jonas than what we saw in the other books. Now that I’ve learned more about him, I definitely like him better. My heart went out to Mackenzie. She suffered tremendously. The author did a fantastic job of describing her attacks. I don’t suffer from what she does but I could fully feel what she went through. The chemistry between Jonas and Mackenzie was off the charts. I looked forward to reading scenes where they interacted. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Titans of Manhattan series does not disappoint with this 4th installment. This book is an easy read and a page turner. It takes you on a roller coaster of emotions. The main characters met in high school and a bet led to a series of events that unfolded both good and bad. 10 years later, they see each other again with a job on the line. Can they overcome what happened in high school that changed the trajectory of events for them? Can the hurt ever go away? When the female lead thought she had overcome everything that had transpired just to see the male lead and realize she wasn’t as over things as she thought. This book is really well written and the angst, family issues, torture, secrets and love will have you reading all the way through the night. You want to see what will happen and you become physically and emotionally involved in the progress of the characters. Don’t get me wrong there will be times that you are mad like spitting nails mad but it doesn’t last that long.

This is the third book in this series and I feel like each one gets better and better. This book takes you on an adventure. What happens when you have a ballerina take to pole dancing? You get one of the biggest guys in New York to take notice. What happens from there……a bunch of things. There is steam in this book!! What happens when that beautiful dancing girl is the girl you happen to have a one night stand with? Guys, this book is amazing!! It is a very easy read. You will find that you are constantly turning pages just to see what happens next. I got embarrassed when the characters did. I got angry, sad, flustered. It was awesome. It also has some triggering sequences in it but I feel the author has been respectful of the situations and did their best to portray a difficult situation for anyone to go through. I highly recommend reading this book and the whole series.

Another new book from this amazing author and again another 5 star read. I absolutely loved this book and I loved that it was a bit different from her other reads but also equally as fantastic. I was hooked from beginning to end. I think this is definitely up there with my favourite books from her – I just fell in love with the main characters straight away. They had this raw real feeling to them that made them really relatable – I especially loved Dwarf! I loved the eerie feeling this story had and there were definitely times where the hairs were standing up on my arms and I got goosebumps – this is something I’ve never had from this author before proving that she can write more than just MC novels!

Any time I see a new book by this author, I get excited like a kid in a candy store. The stories are well written, the characters and environment come through so you can imagine being there.

This book is the story about Dwarf & Raven. Dwarf has basically been passed over by many beautiful women when they finally meet his friends. Raven comes out of nowhere and causes Dwarf to lose control of his bike. The two meeting each other is the start of something different by this author. I really enjoyed reading about this MC which is a new group to me. Also love the paranormal things that come up. Overall, I really had a hard time putting the book down so I could enjoy it for more than a day.

This book is a great follow up to the first one. It was so easy to get lost within this world again, and the characters involved. It took no effort at all to become invested in the main characters again, and really get behind everything he is doing.
The author has created another detailed and descriptive story that is easy to visualise. I could imagine being there with the characters, experiencing everything they do. The author has a unique writing style and it fits with this type of book. This is a great series so far and I am looking forward to seeing where it goes.

In the first Forerunner Saga book, we met the Agneson clan. The story mostly followed the main family focusing mainly on Thorfinn the youngest son, and his uncle Karl. In this, Book 2 of the Forerunner Saga, the story switches amongst the family much more evenly as they have gone in several different directions.
Thorfinn has shipped out with his uncle Karl and is learning about the realm between realms from new sources on his adventures. Agne and Cub have joined the call to war from Guthrum and marched off with the clan’s warriors. Leaving Gurid, Yeru, Mae and the rest of the younger children. They are attacked by the surviving Magnussen’s and driven from the homestead.
There is a lot more adventure in this book, and our characters have grown. We see quite a bit more development of the story and characters and I look forward to the next book as this one ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger.

What a great read! This novel has that touch of history that played with the notion of what could of happened in the New World for ladies brought over to be brides! This world the author created was enjoyable and exciting! With every turn of the page you could feel the main character Alyssa’s determination and curiosity, Hannah’s no nonsense but loyalty to her friends ,and the angst with the insecurity that Rosie brought to the group of girls on their journey to the wild frontier of Victorian Canada! Life will never be the same with these ladies as they traverse into Run’s End! There is a part that I struggled to see why it was necessary to add in the novel,but it didn’t subtract from the story at all. Either way, the movie just played in my head as I read this book and I would highly recommend you give this book your attention!

This book really brought everything to the table! It was not just lollipops and rainbows! It brought on the suspense like a wrecking ball! There was a lot of suspense and moments where you would not know what would happen next! The intrigue this novel brought, was beyond my expectations!

Remi & Audri were two characters that had more in common than meets the eye at first glance! I was captivated by their story and who they were as people. To have a chance at what was between them, they really needed to risk everything dear to them. And that was hard for them, as is it really worth it to lose everything to try something out that well, has no guarantee of working out? Both characters had a light within them, and their darkness showed as well. I was gripped to the edge of my sear as I read and could not put this one down as the story kept building as quickly as I turned the pages! Loved it!

This for sure is a must-read book and I truly highly recommend it. I will be for sure reading more by this wonderful author, as I was truly held and captivated! Freaking amazing read! Excellent writing!

Wow, I totally devoured this book and could not put it down. This was one fantastic romance/suspense story that just when I thought I had it figured out……the twists and turns along with sizzling moments kept coming.

Remington is truly a “mastermind”. He is totally brilliant and really puts up a facade believe he has a dark heart. His upbringing was heartbreaking….but growing up with his best friend Grayson and his sister Audri is what he needed. Years past and Remington takes over a company that Audri works for. I love the connection between them….his need to protect Audri and I love how strong Audri is sticking up for herself in situations that happened while working before Remi and his company took over. Both characters have this sense of a dark past….Remington keeps his distance in any relationship and is all about total business. Audri has this sense of guilt growing up over an unfortunate accident. Slowly Remington and Audri break down each other’s walls……but…..there is so much greed, suspense, lies and page turning twists that put both Remington and Audri in harms way.

Will Remi and Audri be able to get through each of their pasts and stay safe at the same time? Definitely read and find out you will NOT be disappointed.

This story is truly phenomenal!!

This book was next to impossible to put down. A new author for me but definitely hit this one out of the park. This has it all billionaires, murder, mystery, and mayhem of the best kind! I am eagerly looking forward to reading the second book in this series.

The dark, mysterious, but uber brilliant Remington Starke has had to fend for himself from a young age. Seemingly having an absent father, evil stepmother, and pretty worthless step brother. Despite everything he manages to make it on his own and build a successful empire acquiring new businesses and revamping them to make them profitable. One of these acquisitions happens to be where Audri Wu works, his best friend’s little sister whom Starke has always had a soft spot for. As the sparks build between them and the secrets slowly leak out trouble rears its ugly head. Can Audri and Remington stay ahead of the nefarious plans of others or will they and their budding relationship fall victim?

This book has more twists and turns than a roller coaster which kept me on the edge of my seat. Who is the good guy and the bad guy when it seems everyone is in it for their own benefit? This is a beautifully written book that you will love reading if you like billionaire romances with a whole bunch of action thrown in.

This book was full of detail and intrigue. I absolutely loved that it was a thriller packed with mystery and a surprising connectivity that wrapped it all together nicely. The book centers on Audri – an artist at heart with a traumatic past, and Remi – someone who is part of her past but is closed off to everyone. Ultimately, these two characters bring out each other’s strengths which helps them both grapple with their past.

I really liked the addition of detail surrounding Audri seeing a hypnotherapist to process her trauma. Often, professional care/therapy/mental health topics are skimmed or vaguely alluded to. This book, however, gives the healing journey it’s due. I was happy to see that it was a major part of Audri’s journey.

The romance, the passion, the danger, the mystery – all part of an intriguing read. I am looking forward to the next books in this series. Nadia is a fantastic story teller, weaving in plenty of detail and subplots to keep you guessing until the end!

This was a fun and intriguing story. The Mastermind by Nadia Han contains plenty of action and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat. There are steamy parts but it is in good balance with the rest of the story and does not overtake the book. I love Audri’s quirky and fun personality. It provides a good balance to Remi’s darkness and brooding. These are very well-written and multi-dimensional characters. They are both awesome in their own ways and complement each other beautifully. I’d love to see a continuation of their story. The plot is also well-written and although there is quite a bit going on, it does not get confusing. I loved all the relationships between each of the characters, good and bad.

I really enjoyed this book. There are so many elements to this story and the author does an amazing job with their characters and their backstories. I love the connection between Audri and Remi. Their connection is so strong from growing up together that they know everything about each other or so they think. This books is full of twist and turns and secrets that need to come to life for them to stand a chance together.

Remi grew up with Audri. He was friends with her brother and know that Audri is off limits. After an experience that happened when he was young it had left him seriously affected. Despite that he had made a great and successful life for himself. That doesn’t include being with one woman forever
With his family causing trouble and trying to blackmail him he returns home and meets Audri again. The feelings that she sparks in him is like nothing he felt before but she’s his best friends sister which outs her off limits right?

Audri has got secrets of her own to deal with and work through, and when she meets Remi again he has an effect on her she doesn’t want to admit.

Both of them know what they feel is true and strong but their is many hurdles for them to overcome before they can get their happy ever after.
