This book was a cute quick little read. I can’t wait to read this to the kids I care for next week. They loved the last book by this author that I read to them. This book is about Caspian and his un-birthday gift of a know it all pencil. As with the previous book I’ve read by this author, the pictures are amazing.
Very cute story and great illustrations. Caspian is celebrating his birthday and a gift from grandfather, which is a pencil, turns out to be part of an adventure to school! I loved the overall message and any child or child at heart would love this story!
The Know-It-All Pencil is an original and imaginative tale for children between the ages of 6 to 8 years. It is a delightful, and fun fantasy story. It is the fifth book the “Invisible Magic Wand” series by this author. I read this book to my grandsons, and they were entertained and engaged and loved looking at the colourful illustrations. If you want to know what the pencil knows then you need to grab a copy and a snuggle buddy or two and journey along with Caspian on his UnBirthday adventure.
I enjoyed reading this book and wow I can’t believe someone would actually do this kind of thing to their children. Colton, Clark and Damien are brothers who grow up in the same house yet turn out to be totally different from eachother. Kally and Clark have always been close. They have feelings for eachother but at Kally’s 18th birthday party things change. Clark was waiting for Kally to turn 18 to act on his feelings and claim her as his but now he might be to late. This book is so messed up on so many levels in a good way though haha! Colton has lost his mind. I can’t even imagine having to deal with someone like him. Will Clark get his happy ending? Will Colton finish what he has started? This book had lots of great characters. Love Caleb and his brothers. Definitely a lot of suspense in this one and wasn’t sure what was going to happen next!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl. This is my first read by this author and its the first book in the Wolf Hollow Pack series. This isn’t my favorite genre but I truly enjoyed this book. Its a young adult, paranormal book with werewolves, shifters, and romance all in the middle of young adult problems. Its a quick read and once you start you won’t want to put it down. Its the story of Lily who serves the royal wolf pack family as a “slave”. Jason is a Prince and when he picks up Lily’s scent when she has cleaned his room he wants to find her. There is also a member of the Royal Guard who is interested in her and will have her one way or another. Jason is kind, helpful and everything you want a Prince to be but Lily is stuck between a rock and hard place as a slave because she really has no say. Lily would love to be with Jason but feels her place in life will never allow it. There are some hard scenes to read so be prepared!

Vampire stories are my heart. This is the first book I have read by this author but will not be the last! Sam, a Navy SEAL, and Layla, a vampire hunter. Two people that should not be together, when tragedy arises, and they have to work together, can they resist their natural instincts? The intensity between the two and how well they work together is a must read! I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for these two next.

Alexander – Review by Angela Packard
This book had it all. Boss romance, mafia romance and enemies to lovers romance which are some of my favorites. I loved Summer and Lucs story so much that I flew through this book, just like I did with all the other Mafia Elite books. It was filled with the right amount of action, romance and emotion. Highly recommend the whole series. I seriously can’t wait for Treys book!
This was a cute story. I think that my second grade students would have a good time discussing what their “know it all pencil” would write. I had to read the story a few times because I felt like some of the plot was rushed and didn’t always make sense. I would be interested to see other writings by this author.
Shamrock and Clover: Fields Apart is a sweet romance about love and luck. Clover should live a life filled with luck, but she has nothing but challenges. Shamrock lives a life of debauchery and has become complacent in life. What happens when Clover and Shamrock meet? Will they be lucky in love? I always enjoy this author’s books, and this did not disappoint. There were some tears, laughs, and more as I read the story. This is a short but excellent read. I felt for Clover as she went through her challenges and could relate to her hurt and heartache. Shamrock was harder to embrace, but in the end, he won me over. I look forward to reading more from this author.
This dark and gripping story is simply amazing. While this is not my first book by this author this one was dark, emotional, gripping, and dramatic. Personally I can’t wait to read the second one in this series. While it may be full of pain, and heartache can Kally and Clark over come the obstacles in their path? Can they over come the greed and hatred from those that are supposed to love them more than anything? This story will keep you reading and I’m not sure how soon you’ll be able to read a book after this story…..Clark and Kally will stay with you even after you read your next book. So make sure you don’t miss this griping story.

My Valentine’s Day Cookie Match is part of the Welcome to Cupid’s Cove series. The series is set in Cupid’s Cove, written by different authors. I grabbed this one because I have read many books from this author, and they never disappoint. Graham is new to town and has a great dating app connected to a bakery. Lara works in her mother’s bakery and does not like the new competition. This is a sweet romance that I read quickly and left me in a great mood. I liked the characters and their will they/won’t they story. I look forward to reading more from this author soon.

Emma Evans is a intelligent, independent young lady.. uncovering mysteries across the city of Chicago in the 1880’s. The author did a good job giving all the characters depth and a reason to be in the story. A most enjoyable view of the streets and society of that time. Alongside emerging women’s rights, cameras and user friendly bicycles, the Author and Emma take us on a wild ride looking deeper, finding the wrong doings in plain sight. Looking forward to #3 in the series!

Book 3 in this series delivers! Our heroine continues to evolve and find herself steeped in continuing intrigues. This installment sees Emma and Jeremy travelling to New York City and across the Atlantic to Paris. The travel and sights of the late 1880’s are captured wonderfully by the author. And still every step of the way adventure, danger and mystery combine with Emma’s determination to help people. Picking up right after Book 2 in the series, this is another great read in the Notebook Mystery Series.

This is another great read by the author. Slash and Burn is the fourth book in the Nite Fire Series. This book is full of twists and turns.
Dahlia is once again at it. She’s trying to fight what’s going on in the world. She has to fight to get back to where she was. The quote I chose for Dahlia is: “I’m not claiming he’s an upstanding citizen, just…Goddammit, Alex, think about this for a minute. You aren’t in the position to go after anyone with power right now. Not after Arno Gant and what happened with Mayor Anderson.”
Highly recommended for Supernatural Fantasy lovers.
The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla #1) by S.B. Alexander
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. It won’t be my last by her either. The author had me entrapped from the moment I started reading. It’s a hard book to put down. This is the first book in the Vampire Navy SEAL Series.
Sam is a vampire who was turned by his father. He is a Navy SEAL and on the lookout for the bad guys. He must protect the humans, but when the Vampire Hunters come into play things get messy. Layla will be his and doesn’t know it. The quote I chose for Sam is: “You’re mine, Layla. That wasn’t a line to get you into bed.”
Layla has been hunting Vampires for as long as she can remember. Her sisters are working beside her on these hunts. Their father taught them what to do. Now they’ve got problem after problem. One sister is compelled, one sister is being held hostage, and she is stuck wanting to kill Sam or get him into bed. The quote I chose for Layla is: “You know, I just realized something. I’m going to enjoy killing you when you lose that bet you so confidently slapped on the table. I mean, if you keep me chained, I win. Right?”

This was a cute children’s story that I thought taught trust and helping others. A special gift from his Grandpa for his unbirthday, Caspian never knows what to expect. This year was no different when he received a pad of paper a pencil. This pencil took Caspian on an adventure where I thought the story did a great job of showing the importance of helping other and trusting those that are out to help you. Both my daughters enjoyed this cute story and really like the illustrations.
When I say I couldn’t put this book down, I literally mean I finished in one sitting – at 3 am! The story grips you immediately, intense action from the very start. It has everything you could want – thrilling, surprising, and SO SIZZLING!! I want to hear more about Luc and Summer!! Amy McKinley does a masterful job of bringing you into the world of these characters. Laced with innuendo and tension, you can’t help but root for the main characters and everyone in the Chicago Mafia family. Each one very well distinguished from the next – I will likely go back and read it again! Though I came late to the party, I immediately went and purchased the first four books to read as well. I cannot say enough good things about this. If you like wit, steam, romance and strong characters – with a hint of danger and thrill – run to get this series!!
I love that this set offers the opportunity to meet and fall in love with the characters, and then embark on another journey with them together. Melodie is a powerful package in a small box; You take an instant liking to her and her hopeless romanticism. This is a fun series that also incorporates serious vibes and storylines. Perfectly imperfect with just enough passion and humour! Laura Rossi does an incredible job of taking you on the journey with her in London. A flirty romance, an atypical main character, great support characters, and a lot of scenery. I can’t wait to read more about the entanglements of the broader characters in the series! Let’s have one about John and Mike, whose wit and style give the main characters a run for their money!!

Very cute children’s story! Caspian’s grandpa has given him another “unbirthday” gift and this year it’s a pencil. The pencil gives Caspian clues and he has to figure out what they mean. While the premise of this idea is good, I’m not sure a child would be able to figure out what the author was intending. The illustrations were bright and descriptive. The sentences were fairly simple so someone working on learning to read would be able to read this book. Overall, good children’s book.

Graham is quitting his city job to move Cupid’s cove and launch his new matchmaking app and coffee shop. He is banking on people making it popular in their quest to find love. Lara runs a bakery with her mother in Cupid’s Cove. After her recent breakup, the bakery is all she has to keep her sane. That is, until the mayor (who happens to be Lara’s father) approves a new coffee shop to open up in town.
However, when Graham’s business opens up, Lara finds herself spending more and more time with Graham and their chemistry and banter is there in spades! But, as it is with small towns, his ex comes through town and stirs up some drama and families meddle under the guise of doing what’s best. Can these two make it work despite being rivals (and the age gap)?
The story was a cute small-town rivalry story. It was a quick read and a quick-paced story. Using the radio intros was something I enjoyed reading…and the recipes sprinkled within the pages sound yummy!

Claiming My Mate was a great short read. I haven’t read a shifter book in quite a while and this one reminded me how much I enjoy them. I can’t wait to read the second book… especially because of that ending! I really loved Lily, she is such a strong fighter. Also… Jason… *swoon* need I say more? I highly recommended if you’re looking for a good shifter romance.

Let me just wipe these tears before I start this review. This book was so so heavy. At the same time it was so so good. Kally is an absolutely amazing person and everyone deserves a Clark in their lives. Also Jared, Caleb, Nancy, Damien and Clay… I literally just loved all of them lol. I can’t wait to read the next book and read more about them!

This was a cute children’s story. I liked how it used the child’s imagination and also taught them a bit about trading. Probably a good book for children 4-8. Bright colors and a fun adventure would keep the child engaged.
First off I’ll have to say I hate clowns. I think that they are creepy and most definitely belong in a horror novel. That being said, this book was marvelous. Horror stories have always been one of my go to genres, and this one proved that even young adult ghost stories can make me jump. The characters were likeable, the plot unique. Scary clowns, spooky ghosts, and a read that can’t be put down. Bravo 🙂 can’t wait to read more
Regan always thought she was cursed, wanting to leave Boston and travel the world. Being the first in her family to graduate her world was ahead of her but in one walked Jeremy and her world stood still.
Jeremy is destine to inherit Stone Development, he has worked hard to prove to his father that he is capable to takeover the business. So this project in Boston starts off great he has the backing but when they step into the diner across from one of the developments and he sees her, all his dreams and aspirations do not seem that important anymore.
This is the first story I have read by this author and I really enjoyed the well written and developed characters. I loved the sassy, strong character of Regan, she knew what she wanted as was not afraid to let Jeremy know exactly what she was thinking and feeling.
Jeremy for me was a great character to match the strong willed character of Regan, but with him being that bit older his responsibilities to his family made your heart ache for the both of them. I loved the secondary characters and would love to know the story behind Shane her brother in the end and does Phillip find his love as I wish he was my best friend also.
All-round I loved this book from start to finish, the story was engaging and at times my heart did break for the two main characters, thank you for a great book I can’t wait to read more.

This is a great, heart-warming contemporary romance that I devoured in a few hours. It’s a feelgood romance that was great to read after having read a heavy, dark romance before it. I enjoy both types but this was just what the doctor ordered at the time. Marketing specialist Graham has decided on a career move, opening a cookie shop with the added bonus of having a dating app based on your purchases. Very apt in a town called Cupid’s Cove. What he doesn’t expect is Lara, the mayor’s daughter, whose family own the local bakery. Intent on hating Graham for proving competition, she’s surprised by how much the two of them click. As always, true love never run’s smoothly and Graham and Lara’s love is put to a very big test to prove just how true it is. This is a great read, which I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend it to others, especially if you are looking for a quick, heart-warming read to lose yourself in for a few hours.

King – Review by Karyn Taylor
I have been reading this series since book number 1, and each time I am hooked and amazed by the amazing writing. The author is very good at what they do, and craft a engaging story that gives you a lot of feels and emotions, and most certainly, this was a book I could not put down. Very compelling!
This one follows the lines of the other books in the series. This time around, Chains and his story is finally told. I have patiently waited for his story for quite some time. I knew had a a lot of layers that must have been caused by past stuff, but I never imagined it would go as deep as this story allowed it to go! The past truly haunts him, but the 2 souls that care abut him help him even in his darkest times and darkest hours. It was really beautiful in truth to read that. I enjoyed reading and learning of Chains and all he had to undergo. It really made me feel for him. I defiantly sensed as well as felt the strong character development. This book alone was a must read. Defiantly worth picking up and giving it a read!
Amazing series, and this installment was a freaking wow factor type of read. Highly recommend this series if you have not read the prior books. This book alone was amazing and full of spirit and emotion. Not one to be passed up by any means. Highly recommend this must read book/series!

Earl – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This is just another great book in this series. This book has continued the series and I have been long awaiting this book. I have read the whole series so far and I find it just gets better as it goes on. I like how the author keeps the balance of drama and intrigue. I really was at the end of my chair as I got further into the book. I didn’t want to put it down.
I was really interested how the author would carry on after the ending of the last one and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the mix of supernatural and human characters. I really like how the author is able to weave the story and branch it to make the series flow and grow. I really cannot wait to read more from this author cause if the ending of this book is anything to go by there is so much more to come.
