This is a sweet and endearing story. Jordan works hard at her shop and even though she hurts every time she sees her ex come in with his new love, she cannot seem to tell him not to come in anymore. There is a light though in her days and that is Cane. Jordan never imagined what she could enjoy with Cane and when he comes to her with a proposition Jordan must decide what path she will take. It was nice to see the two find their way. Looking towards the future and away from their pasts. Their story moves at a good pace and shows the magic in love.

Roux – Review by Gabrielle
Sizzle. Sizzle. I am proud to state that from this day on I am officially a devoted fan of E.L. Roux. This is the first book I have read by them and my oh my it was a fantastic little read. Jorden gave three years of her life loving a man that one little sip of a special drink had her world crashing down. A year has passed, and the pain still aches inside of her daily as her ex-fiancé Nathan and his new fiancé Tiffany visit her coffee shop daily. Many have asked her out in the time that’s passed but only Cane cracks her façade. Saying yes, she struggles with her internal emotions. She gave her heart away once only for it to be thrown away and she was not afraid that if she tried again and failed, she would forever be alone. Cane needs her help for a vision quest, for their exes Tiffany and Nathan. Giving in everything changes in the blink of an eye. Everything with Cane is easier and without overthinking. What did Tiffany need to know? Why did Jorden see the answer? What did Cane see? This was a short, sweet read to kick off the month of June and honestly, I need more. I want to know what makes Volur different from Pixies, Nymphs, and other magic casters other than not being in cities much. I cannot wait to read book two, Unrewarded Love, to see more about Perri and Kyla’s story, and where their sparks lead them. Also, sidenote, that spice be extra spicy in this one the buildup and the ceremony missing the big finish was interesting. Overall, an extremely well written novella to fit in a single sitting without realizing you finished it already. This one will consume your time from start to finish.

Unrequited Love (Magic and Heartache Series) by E.L. Roux. This is such a wonderful fantasy romance.

Unfortunately her ex has decided to bring his new girl into the shop every day and Jorden is sick of it. There is one person who has made her day better since the break up and that is Cane. She is in heat over him. When he makes her a deal she can’t refuse she thinks its a win/win situation. If the deal includes her being next to Cane more than she is all in. When he wants to create a spell that will see the future of her ex and his new girl, Jorden isn’t so sure she wants to see that but the offer of Cane makes her change her mind. As they spend more time together will Jorden realize she’s completely over her ex and ready to move on or will she realize she’s still in love with the jerk? Cane might just be what she needs to get over that hump. Such a great fantasy romance with a little spice.

This is an introduction to a new-to-me author, as well as a new series. This is a romantic suspense featuring Lea Milan. Lea was once known as Michaela Manning but due to circumstances that put her in harm’s way, she’s had to change her name. A decades old murder is still haunting her and now that her dad is rising in power, it’s putting all that she’s worked to move past in danger.
This book has a little bit of everything. Mystery, suspense, romance, lies, betrayal, murder, political tones, and more. It’s a very intriguing book that will hook you pretty quickly.
I look forward to the next chapter in this story. I do hope that we will hear more from Max!

I wasn’t sure what to think about this book at first. Ducky seemed to be a low level shifter that wasn’t going to amount to much. However, as soon as I got further into the story the more I smiled and even giggled when Ducky came face to face (kind of lol) with The King! This story is pretty different from other shifters stories so it really clumsy attention. The author did a fantastic job creating the characters, not just Ducky but all of them. I really liked the King’s mother Trisha.
Maddy is a little upset when she sees she’s received a DNA test from her grandmother for her birthday. I mean, what teenager would want to do this? Well, Maddy soon learns that she is one quarter villain. Life changes a little bit.
This is a fun twist on a fairy tale. It’s also a clean enough read that I can recommend it to young readers. I really appreciate that in a book! Prepare to read this in one setting, or at least where you can finish it in one or two because it will take off quickly!

Ten books deep and I can’t wait for more. Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone, however if you read through the series from start to finish there is a much deeper story experience. I love books that have cross over characters and this series has that too.
If you don’t want to read the nine books before this one that’s okay too. You can start with this one. It’s a fantastically dark story with mafia vibes, vampires and just the right amount of spice to story ratio!

I wasn’t for sure what I was getting into when I picked up this book. It’s different than what I usually read, but was good. It was an easy read and had a hard time putting it down.
Ducky is an outcast. Her whole town is filled with shifters. Wolf shifters, feline shifters, not to mention the vampire family that rules over the town. Meanwhile Ducky is a duckling shifter. One that can’t control her shifts either. She is ridiculed and made fun of all the time.
When word gets out that the Vampire Lord Kobreon is possibly looking for his potential bride, all the women line up to meet him. Even Ducky wants to meet him. She knows that it is impossible that she will be the one chosen but wants to at least catch a glimpse of the mystery man. Hiding in a bush she ends up pricking herself and making a sound, when a woman starts towards the bush, Ducky panics and transforms. The woman scoops her up and brings her into the castle out of harm’s way. Kobreon sees the duckling and instantly takes a liking to her wanting to keep her as a companion. She has to stay in the castle longer than intended under the guise of being just a duckling.
The treaty between humans and shifters is on the brink of shattering due to the human princess being poisoned. The humans are blaming the shifters and demand a culprit and a cure or else war will be imminent. It’s up to Kobreon to find a cure to make sure his people are safe. Especially Ducky.
I thought this was a cute story. At first I wasn’t sure about it because the premise of a duckling and a vampire kind of sounded weird to me. Who would have feelings for a duckling?! Instead you get a platonic relationship between the two for the most part. Ducky feels like a failure and needs to learn how to properly control herself. She has no confidence. She works to find herself outside of being just a ducky. Kobreon has the weight of the world on his shoulders but no one to share the weight with. Just having Ducky around has helped give him hope. They both have their problems and at the end of the day they can cuddle up and relax.
So far, I have read quite a few of C.A. King’s books and loved them! This also falls in that category. The author has a way of writing about something unique and out there making it so you never have a dull moment reading their books!
I loved this. It’s about a child who is lost and unhappy and how the simple hand of friendship can make the world of difference to how a child is feeling. It’s about kids showing bravery and strength, it tells us how children should behave and will help children talk about how they are feeling. It’s aimed at young children but the message portrayed in it can be for anyone of any age to take note of.
Dinopotamus Goes to School is a part of the Dinopotamus Series by Lois Wickstrom. This is such a cute story about Dinopotamus. He watches the other children daily and does what they do. As they go to school he goes to school too. We get to see how fun it is for Dinopotamus to learn and he handles doing things even though he is different. This is such a great way to show children how fun learning is. It also teaches a great lesson on how to adapt to various situations. The illustrations are wonderful. They remind you of something you would be able to learn how to do yourself. This is another fun book by Lois Wickstrom.

Dinopotamus just wants to be one of the kids and do what they do – play, go to school, learn things. Unfortunately, Dinopotamus is half T-Rex and half hippopotamus, which means they are much bigger than the children and has difficulty even fitting in through the school door! In this story, children learn about differences and the importance of finding solutions so everyone can join in, but in a cute, fun story. I would say that children aged 4-8 would enjoy this story.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed how they brought the twist and turns to life. I also enjoyed their attention to details that made the characters come to life who pulled you into the story with ease. This is a well written story about Michaela. Her grandfather was assassinated in front of her and almost took her life as well. She has remained hidden for a long time. Now that she is back, she finds herself in the middle of a media mess. Maxwell was head of security back then and has been asked to do security presently. What will happen with the things that are lurking in the shadows? I enjoyed watching the growth from beginning to end of the characters and the plot. The twists and turns will have you coming back for more. This suspenseful story is one you don’t want to miss. I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I highly recommend this book.

Man oh man! Such a wonderful book! You get hooked in so fast with this one! The first chapter had me cracking up! You will fall in love with these characters so quick. You’ll be yelling at them, laughing at them, and so much more while you follow their story. In this book you meet Libby and Zach. Libby has been in Woodvally Pines all of one day and she’s already caught her kitchen on fire. With toast! Yes, you read that right. Toast!! LOL. Who knew that toasters could just spontaneously burst into flames? She sure didn’t!! So she’s in shock still when the firemen come to the recue. Zach is trying to look over Libby to make sure she is okay. She’s in pink Disney pajamas, ranting about people keeping toaster fires a secret, and boy is he trying his hardest not to laugh! The spark between the two of them is instant. Only problem is Libby doesn’t date. So begins the rollercoaster of Zach trying to change her mind. Will these to burn each other before everything falls apart or will the spark ignite and last forever? These two are so cute and funny. You will really enjoy this funny romance. Plus there are hunky firefighters! 🙂

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff is a great historical children book
Twelve-year-old musical prodigy Scoob hopes to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Louis Armstrong and become a jazz legend in the summer of 1976. She must, however, leave the streets first. Scoob believes her luck is going to change when she gets a lucrative gig; she gets to perform in front of a well-known band leader who has his own TV show. However, RC, Scoob’s elder brother, takes his younger sister along on an unwanted road trip. Scoob and RC are broke and unable to buy food, so they “borrow” gas along the route until they become stuck in the tiny Idaho town of Rexburg. Residents of the picturesque rural village are divided over the safety of a recently constructed dam, which is the subject of intense discussion.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

An enjoyable and engaging fantasy romance which kept me happily turning the pages. This is a fairly quick read as it’s a novella and is set in a world where magical and non-magical people live in harmony. Jordan is a seer who owns a coffee shop where she serves coffee with a special twist, however she’s been in a rut since her boyfriend Nathan dumped her. She now has to watch him with his new fiancé in her coffee shop everyday and it’s suppressing her seer emotions. Then Cane who is grouchy with an awkward smile and curled horns makes her body come alive again. Cane offers her a deal, for her to perform a Wiccan vision quest for Nathan and his fiancé and in return she will have a steamy night wrapped in his muscled arms. I liked the chemistry between Jordan and Cane and also how their relationship developed throughout the story. I felt the magical setting was brought to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story.

Another Wickstrom adventure you can’t help but help be drawn into. I mean, who doesn’t want a pet dragon?!? But, can she really be trained in one day?
Wickstrom’s book is well written with gorgeous illustrations that reminded my other children’s books from my childhood. My neice and nephew loved this book, and I would recommend it to others.

This is the first book in the Magic and Heartache series. This is a short story at only 96 pages long but it was action packed and i loved every part of it. This is a paranormal romance with a mixture of magical beings and a coffee shop with an added touch of something special in each drink. One of the owners is Jordan. She loves her coffee shop and how it brings everybody together but there’s one thing she doesn’t like and that’s her ex and his new lover showing up at her work everyday. As much as she hates to see them she can’t tell them to never return. There is one person that brightens her day and that is Cane. When Cane approaches her to help him with a spell to see the future for her ex and his new partner at first Jordan doesn’t want to help. However the more she learns of the ritual, and the opportunity to see more of Cane proves to be the thing that seals the deal.
What happens when they get a more intimate knowledge of each other? Will the spark between them explode into a fire or will it sizzle out? And is Jordan even ready to move on? Will she lose her chance at love again by still being hung up on her ex?
For a short story this packs so much into it and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

This is an interesting story. I liked the suspense and drama that follow these two along. This pulls on the ol’heart strings for a couple reasons. None that I will mention because of spoilers but believe me they are there. I really kept tuned into these two main character’s, which are kids. I felt sorry for them and was very suspicious of RC more than once. This is told from Scoob’s point of view and while she is a twelve year old she seems much older at times. In the end it shows the strength, endurance and love can help some prosper. I loved all the Dad sayings and thoughts that ran through Scoob’s head on repeat.
Overall this is a wonderful story that kept me turning pages so I could figure RC out. The ending is good and had me feeling complete with a little wonder. Thanks for letting me come along on your trip.

Ruth J. Hartman’s “Brushed Up On Murder” is a delightful read.
The story follows Molly Stewart, a mobile cat groomer, who’s devastated when she finds the body of one of her clients, stabbed in his backyard. Things take a personal turn when her uncle Russ becomes the prime suspect in the murder, and Molly is determined to prove his innocence.
Hartman’s writing is engaging and witty, with a great sense of humor. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to become invested in their lives. Molly’s passion for her work as a cat groomer shines through, and her interactions with her feline clients are adorable.

Hartman’s writing is engaging and entertaining, with a dash of humor and wit. Her characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to become invested in their lives. The descriptions of the cats and their grooming process are equally delightful, providing a unique perspective on the world of cat care.
One of the standout aspects of this book is its ability to balance humor and suspense. Hartman expertly weaves together lighthearted moments with darker, more intense scenes, keeping the reader on their toes. The plot is well-paced, with plenty of surprises along the way to keep you guessing.

I just devoured “One Quarter Villain” by Cori Cooper, and I’m still reeling from the delightful surprise that awaited me within its pages (early on the book, the. quote “Every good fairy tale needs a villain” hooked me). Who says a villain can’t have a happy ending? Not Cori Cooper, that’s for sure! In this charming and lighthearted tale, Cooper challenges the traditional notion of villainy by crafting a relatable and lovable protagonist who just happens to be one-quarter villain.
Cooper’s writing is engaging and effortless, making it easy to become invested in Maddy’s journey. The author’s humor and wit are on full display, particularly in the character of Maddy’s best friend, Leo Romano, who is the perfect foil to Maddy’s straight-laced personality. Their banter and friendship are a highlight of the book.
One of the most impressive aspects of “One Quarter Villain” is its thoughtful exploration of identity and morality. Cooper asks important questions about what makes us good or evil, and whether our choices are shaped by our DNA or our environment. The book’s themes are timely and relevant, making it a great read for anyone looking for a story that will linger long after the final page is turned.

Shayna is just trying to live her life after divorce. With two kids that depend on her, she does not have time for romance or even the time to entertain the possibility. Burke shares a best friend with Shayna and cannot help but be intrigued by her. Having just been burned by an ex-fiancée, he is not sure he wants to dip his toes into the dating pool again. However, he sees what others gloss over when he looks at Shayna. Can they find their way to each other? Or will past baggage get in the way of their possible happily-ever-after?!
This was a fun book to read. I feel like the author did a wonderful job capturing single mom life, and dysfunctional family issues. I could not help but be drawn to Shayna and Burke’s story. While I cannot identify with all the aspects of this book, the human emotion captivated me. I did not pick up book one in this series and only realized about part way through that I must have missed it. It would have been nice to read the first one, but I do not feel like it was necessary as there was enough background information given throughout. If you are looking for a quick, fun, summer read, I would pick this up!

Jackson – Review by Desiree Ottinger
This was a cute little story about Dinopotamus who so desperately wanted to play and join in the fun of the children he saw. He joined all their fun including going to school. The story is about inclusion and the love of learning. It is an enjoyable story and I recommend it to anyone with children who love to read and explore new ideas.

Another gripping MC romance by an author who I love and who never disappoints! I was excited to be back in the ‘Wretched Soulz MC’s’ world once again and this time the storyline focuses on the Clubs Prez Chaz. As the Prez he is responsible for keeping money in the Clubs coffers, keeping his brothers out of jail and his enemies at bay. The MC have a reputation and so can’t show any weakness by ensuring men who cross them don’t live long. So Chaz is surprised to learn that someone is stealing from them, and even more shocked to discover the thief is a woman. Chaz is then torn about how to treat Helo, if she had been a man then he would have killed her for this crime but should he treat her like a man or not. To complicate things further Chaz is attracted to Helo and is actually impressed by how she stands up to him, challenges him and beats him fighting hand to hand. He soon learns that she’s not invincible and that she has her own demons, but with so many of his own battles Chaz doesn’t know if he wants to take on hers as well. As usual the characters and setting are brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative making me feel fully immersed in the world of the ‘Wretched Soulz MC’. The chemistry between Chaz and Helo sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. The storyline is full of excitement, drama, suspense and of course romance which made this a real page turner. I will now wait impatiently for the next book in the series!
