Chatroom with a View dives right into the story from the beginning. There isn’t a ton of time spent on setting the scene or providing backstory like in a lot of other novels I’ve read, but I personally prefer this. Troy is a complicated character and I didn’t know how to feel about him. I felt bad for him and at the same time hated him. But he was a well written character that makes you feel many different things. Overall it’s a darker psychological thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This book pulls you in right from the start with super relatable characters who attend the dreaded 10-year high school reunion. I mean who hasn’t had nightmares about that thing and the way Ms. Fletcher draws you back into your own memories through the character descriptions and obvious high school cliques. So, when a chance encounter happens between Katie and Clay, the irresistible pull draws them closer together. What starts with a simple admission from Clay about having a crush on Katie since high school turns into a full-blown fling. Will it be a one-time thing, or can Clay go against his ideas about having a long-distance relationship? Can Katie come to terms with promises made or risk the career she worked so hard for? This is a must-read romance book perfect for summer reading on the beach. The characters are incredibly relatable, and it’s hard not to want to find out what will happen between Katie and Clay!

The Halfling’s Court is an amazing far story, personally I couldn’t put it down. Ms. Ackley-McPhail gives us everything that we could hope for including drama, fantasy, magic, mayhem and more. Her characters are so descriptive, and her scenery descriptions leave you breathless with the right imagination. Ms. Ackley McPhail certainly has a wild imagination that creates incredible stories for her readers. This will be my second series by Ms. Ackley-McPhail and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I have not read anything by Jane Suen until Beginnings and Endings. I LOVED all three short stories! My favorite was “The End Of Summer.” All of these stories have such emotion and are so powerful. Definitely 5 stars!

Well, I’m not really sure where to start with a review for this book. Chatroom with a View opens with some of the most disturbing chapters of any novel I have read lately. Enter mid-twenty something Troy, still living at home with his parents. He believes that he can keep his mother safe from his abusive father by staying at home. But can he really? Throw in Troy’s ex-girlfriend Veronica–stalker, determined, and claiming to be pregnant, and Troy is overwhelmed by life. When he finally decides to get revenge on those who have messed up his life and others like his, it all falls apart. Veronica begins digging into Troy’s family history, only to learn that Troy’s ancestor is none other than Lizzie Borden.
This is a solid 5 star read. Although I did not connect with the characters because I couldn’t relate to their situations, the story was so twisted, dark, and unpredictable that I was drawn into it anyway. This book is one of the best written ones I have read in a long time. The pace of the story is perfect, and make the book impossible to put down. Highly recommend and will be looking forward to reading more from Glenn Maynard!

Journeys through SpaceTime (Book 1) by James Talisman is an intense page turner! This isn’t a typical genre of book for me to pick up, but I am sure glad I did! This book is so engrossing that it is hard to believe it’s a debut novel. It is quite obvious that the author planned and fleshed out his ideas and plot-line in order to make it not only good, but believable as well. There are several different narratives weaved together, and each one is compelling and unique. I find the story itself to be so interesting, and I love how each character believes and experiences similar things, and yet they are so completely different. Like I said, this story is intense and there is a lot going on straight from the get go, but if you hang with it, it’s totally worth it. That being said, it is not hard at all to get swept up with each character because they are described so well. All in all, the entire novel is well-written, well-planned, and well-executed. I am stoked to get my hands on the next installment and give a 5 star recommendation to this book and author.

Bittersweep is a romance taking place in the late 1890’s Texas but it has a mystery aspect to it as well. The main character, Elizabeth, left Bittersweep when she was kicked out of town at 5 years of age. Years later, she returns with a school teacher job and under a false name. She has questions about her past and she thinks she can only get answers from Bittersweep. Elizabeth is a very stubborn and witty woman, also very pretty who can turn the heads of almost all of the men who see her. She meets a man by the name of JP who seems familiar but she can’t quite put her finger on it. All she knows is not to trust his last name.
JP is what you would picture when you imagine a stereotypical 1890s rancher. Strong, handsome, and intelligent but with a soft spot. Both characters are very likeable from the beginning. I was rooting for them to get together the first time they met. JP immediately has a soft spot for Elizabeth. Being in charge of most of the town, he was involved in finding out who, what, where, when and why of a body was found shortly after a bank robbery took place.
I really enjoyed this book due to all the different aspects it touched along the way. It wasn’t just a romance, which made it so much more interesting to me.
This is the 3rd book in The Journals Trilogy series. This is a Romantic Suspense and is just under 4 hours listening time. This is a dark romance so only 18+ should listen and there are situations in the story that could also cause triggers. This story follows Quinn, Stone, and Walker. Due to her past, Quinn has been through the wringer and that has made her stronger. She will do whatever it takes to keep her family safe. Stone guided her to become who she is today. All she wanted was to move forward and away from her past. Stone is there to make sure Walker never comes back. This trilogy was an intense one and the narrator did a fantastic job with it!

Earl – Review by Heidi Schoolman
I am sitting here trying to come up with words to express my thoughts on this book and i dont think i can even come close to doing it any justice. We meet Samantha, and like any mother would do, runs at the first word of anything happening with her child, grown or not.
Through the events she wants revenge of course but with some help she gets a purpose to her life again while working towards that goal.
I really hope we get more of this story or even more of the characters on this one. I was hooked to see what happened and I will be the first to say i am not a fan of flipping between past and present but it was done well here and needed for the story.

Julia Colbourn is a new author to me and I am so glad that I picked up this book. Normally I do not go by covers and in this book I went by the cover. This author knows how to keep me in suspense. This plotline was off the charts. I would consider this to be a fantasy book. There were some undertones of politics, discrimination, dark drama, and assassination. It also shows the women as the top of the world and the men slaves. The characters are intriguing, so much that I felt as if they could be real and on another planet. The story did take me on a roller coaster ride. I kept wanting to see what was coming next that sometimes there was a twist in the story that floored me. Living in this world would change the outlook of a woman and a man. What transpires in my mind is still working out the details. I highly recommend this book. I cannot wait to read more from Julia Colbourn.

Oh my stars!! Georgia Clay is such a sweet romantic story! It will draw you in from the beginning, it sure did me! I’m such a hopeless romantic who loves a great HEA too! Being the first in it’s series it is quiet the perfect southern love story! I LOVED the book oh so much. I fell in love with the characters and the author’s smooth writing style. Was just awed with Katie and Clay’s story it was light and fun, it definitely had its share of steam too. First time read from this author and am so excited to read the next book in this series!

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) by KG Fletcher
This is another fantastic read by Fletcher. This story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. You’ll fall in love with Georgia Clay and Katie.
Katie is loving her career filled life. Never one to take time off. She goes to her high school reunion and finds herself with Clay Watkins. One thing leads to another and she is falling hard. The quote I chose Katie is: “I can’t believe it’s happening. I’m finally traveling and it’s not for work.”
Clay is a big up and coming music writer. He’s penned some great songs big name artists have sung. Going to the ten year reunion was just what he needed. The quote I chose for Clay is: “I know it’s selfish of me, but I really just wanted to hang out with you for a little longer before I head back to Nashville. I’m not ready to say goodbye to you, Katie Parker.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Unlikely in Love is the first book in the Parker Lake series by Olivia Sherwood and I really enjoyed the book. Ms. Sherwood has a way of getting you wrapped up in the story and does a great job developing her characters, even ones that you really don’t think have a big part in the story itself. I have read a few of her earlier books and this is the best one she has written to date.
Annie gets exactly what she deserves when she and Wyatt find their way to one another. She is such a caring soul and the love she has for her late Granny and all of their animals, not to forget her two best friends. She didn’t have the best beginning in life but thankfully her Granny stepped in and took care of her and raised her to be one incredible woman.
Wyatt is an Army Vet who is able to let his emotional wounds heal once he and Annie start working together and they develop their friendship. He is also a caring soul and will do anything for those he loves.
Looking forward to keeping up with this series and these characters since I tend to develop a deep relationship with the characters in the series I like.

The Girl and the Raven: A YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber is a well written YA story. It is so easy to connect with this book and become involved with the story. I thought Lucy was such a relatable character. Even with her newfound gifts she still felt very much like a girl trying to find her place. And that is something every girl can relate to! This is a new author to me and I was surprised by how refreshing her take on this genre was. I enjoyed every part of this book from the moment I started reading. I would definitely recommend this author and I am looking toward to discovering more of her work.

The Heart of Baker’s Bay by Danielle Jacks is a quick and romantic story that I found to be sweet and heartwarming. I thought Jody and Adam were so well suited for each other. They each had their own pasts and experiences that made then slightly reluctant but once they got past the reticence their connection was great. This isn’t my first book by this author and I always enjoy her stories. They are easy to read with great characters and great storylines. I don’t hesitate to pick up one of her books because I know it will be worth the read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to more of her work.

Not all heroes wear capes. I enjoyed the complexity of the plot and the development of the characters. I admired the approach that Manda took in creating the main characters, the vulnerability of Grumbler regarding his age and how the opposite sex views him (this alpha male combating his insecurities). There are two sides to a coin; with Grumbler there is no difference; he is a badass who gets things done and on the other hand, he’s an absolute sweetheart when it comes to those he calls family. Can Mary be a more kick-ass understanding mom! I loved how she was portrayed in this novel. Go, Mary! There were certain situations in the novel that did not sit well with (unfortunately for some this is a reality); bless the heavens justice was served. Readers beware. I recommend this slow-burn intriguing page-turner.

Everything a historical romance should be! Lady Isabel Carlyle is just trying to do the right thing when she breaks into Viscount Matthew Rutherford’s home. Little does she know, he is desperately in need of a wife. But for Lady Isabel, things aren’t as bad as they could be. In marrying the Viscount she is able to escape her half brother and his horrible cousin. And for the Viscount it provides him a wife after two engagements that ended in death for his betrothed.
Wareeze sets a perfect scene. The perfect amount of drama, intrigue, danger and romance with characters that are fully developed and carry the story well. I look forward to reading more novels by this author.

The Heart of Baker’s Bay was the first book I read by Danielle Jacks and I loved it. Its a really cute, clean romance book and I didn’t want to put it down. The characters are great, with wonderful realistic personalities, and the chemistry between them is entertaining. The supporting characters are well written too, not just the main two. Jody is stubborn and full of spunk and Adam is like a grumpy old man, but with good reason. The town of Clover Bay sounds wonderful, on the top of a hill, secluded from the rest of the world, but in reality, only a couple hours outside of the city. This book had my emotions on a roller coaster, many times laughing, sometimes in near tears, and then a good happy ending. I highly recommend it, and look forward to reading more by Jacks.

Jody not a one for settle but finds herself in trun when she needs to be there and do things for the family. A wildfire at best can she do this. The interaction are slow and it builds up through the story which is refreshing to see. Adam he’s not what I liked at frist His character grew on me though. This is what I noticed through this book people grow in you just like life.

Manda Mellett does not disappoint. This is the second book of hers I read, and once again, the characters are flawed, relatable, and complex. It’s easy to get Lost (see what I did there?) in the world of bikers that she builds. I loved that the MC’s were older. I love the close bonds of family and friendship that exists between the members of the Satan’s Devil MC. The mystery was intriguing, and the character and story development was exciting to experience. My only problem is now I think I will need to read her entire collection… Oh no, there goes my TBR!

I enjoyed this short steamy read. I love that Poppy was a sweet, cute, nerd and her neighbor Turner was totally into that type. She was so lovely and naive, thinking that she wouldn’t really be anyone’s type but little does she know that Turner has been wanting her for weeks. The misunderstanding at the bbq shows how truly introverted she is, and Turner is so sweet to not give up on her. I look forward to what comes next.

Disturbingly creepy book. Loved every minute of it. Revenge plotted with a capital R. Blamed on the father yet he plan’s it out with the art of a pro on people who picked on him. You will feel the chills throughout this book. Through in a psychotic mentally disturbed stalker and you have the makings of a terrific thriller. Best crime book I’ve read in a while. Well plotted and well-developed characters.

This is a very well thought out and detailed work. While I balked initially at the list of names at the start of this book, each was introduced well, and it was fairly straightforward to follow. The story itself is deeply layered and clearly a lot of planning went into creating this diverse and interesting multiverse. The imagery was rich and colourful, making it easy to imagine these worlds and beings. I loved the character of Queen Neferities, with her wisdom and insight into her world. This is a well-written Sci-Fi that lovers of the genre will enjoy.

Beginnings and Endings is a trio of short stories by Jane Suen. I really enjoy the variety of Suen’s work – I had read several of her books before it really clicked for me that they were by the same author! – and this collection really showcases her skill in storytelling. It gets four stars from me! Although the three stories are separate and distinct, there is a thread running through them of commitment in relationships. We see couples’ relationships developing and enduring through the ups and downs of life. My main (only?) complaint is that there isn’t more! The stories themselves are quite short and with only three of them (plus a bonus really cute flash fiction) this will not take most readers very long to read at all. I would have loved a wider variety of stories – perhaps including some in the realm of speculative fiction – that I could dip in and out of. I would recommend this collection to readers looking for stories they can quickly enjoy in a coffee break or similar. They’re short, satisfying and thought-provoking. I think they could also work really well for reading and discussing with teenagers, as accessible stories touching on important issues as well as excellent examples of the short story format.

An engaging MM thriller romance which does have trigger warnings and is book two in the ‘Remember My Name Series’ but can be read as a standalone story. Wren Stafford is an Empath, and so the intrusive feelings of others enter his mind and haunt his dreams. Having met the love of his life, Henry, Wren was pleased to put the pain of his past behind him but then he started having predictions of terrible atrocities to come. Although Wren warned his husband, Henry was found murdered and soon after Wren was named the prime suspect. Whilst being condemned by the public and harassed by the police Wren is also having nightmares of his own death, but he is determined to continue his hunt for Henry’s killer. As Wren tries to find clues in his visions to stop the murderer he is running out of time and may even become the next victim. This is a fast paced page turner of a novel which had me gripped from start to finish. The plot twists kept me guessing until the end of the story, which kept me hooked. An exciting storyline and great characters along with the authors descriptive narrative all added to the overall atmosphere of this suspenseful thriller, with a touch of the paranormal in Empath Wren.

I am totally all in with this book! The narrator was truly fantastic in this audio as well. This book is full of twists and turns with suspense, fighting MMA, mafia and mobsters. I loved the spark between Aleksei and Deva. Having a strong female character with Deva, I enjoyed her spirit no non-sense style. Deva comes back from being away as a favor and has to get close to Aleksei whom has some dark ties. This book is just so fantastic, cannot wait to continue this series.

Remember His Name is the 2nd book in the Remember My Name Series by Laurencia Hoffman. It is loosely a series, with not as much overlap/continuation as I would have hoped. I with they were more intertwined, as there were only a couple small mentions of overlap. I wish there was more time spent on the killer and how or why he chose his victims. I would have liked it to be a continuation of the first book, as it had a massive cliff hanger ending. That said, I am not totally disappointed in this series, it was good and held my interest. It just left me longing for more. It is a story that focuses on Wren and his heartache and pain throughout life, being an empath. The story starts out with Wren as a child, and there is a lot of focus put on his dad, and his job. I thought maybe it would take a Mafia twist, but it just kind of set the groundwork for the rest of the story. Without giving it away, I hope the character introduced toward the end gets a book of her own. I want to know what comes of her and to know what happens to the killer… is he caught? Do we learn the why behind it? This book has a trigger warning, and pay attention to it if it might bother you. These themes are strong throughout.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by this author. I enjoyed being pulled into this story by the characters. This is a well written story that I found to be engaging and fast paced. This is a romance story that has characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. They are relatable and just made the story entertaining to read. Jody has come to a new town to help her grandmother but she is not very reliable. Adam wants so much to not like Jody but he finds that he can’t help himself. What will fate have in store for them? Could it have a happy ending? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens to these two characters.
