Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series Book 9)
by Lara Ward Cosio

I have loved the Rogue series since I read the first book and this one is no different. In this book we get to watch Donal and Conor figure some things out. Donal Whelan is the son of Martin Whelan, a member of Rogue. Conor, Donal’s godfather has been depressed since his father passed away. These two end up on a road trip, they both discover new things about themselves and each other. This book is so well written, you can feel the emotions jumping off the pages. I was happy to see all the old characters we know and love in this book as well. This book can be read as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read all of the books in this series so you have more back story of the characters and because they are all really great books! I can never get enough of this series and I hope it never ends. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this story, but I will say that this is a must read! I highly recommend this book.

The journey with Izzy and Kain is fraught with mysteries and suspense and is truly one of a kind that is totally engrossing.

I loved reading the book Tidal Love by KM Lowe. It is a beautiful romantic story that touched my heart and had me hooked from the beginning. I loved the characters of Harleigh Harrison and Giovani Russi. Harleigh is a strong and intelligent woman. She has a past that she is trying to overcome. Trying to move forward is what brings her to Bulgaria and in meeting Giovani. Giovani is a successful businessman. He also has a past that has shaped his current life. Then he meets Harleigh. The chemistry between them is off the charts. They both discover feelings that they have not had in a long time. With their past still in the minds will they take a chance with each other? Will they get a HEA? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time. I grew to care about Harleigh and Giovani with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between them. I also enjoyed reading about other additional characters that interacted and cared about Harleigh and Giovani. The book also has some very romantic scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. The author has an amazing way of making the story and characters come alive on the pages. Don’t miss out on a romantic and entertaining story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

This is Books 4-6 in the Hero High series, I would recommend reading the first three books before reading these. I loved the series from the start. Following Fridays journey has been a whirlwind for sure, she’s a easy to like character and you will have a instant like for her. Mina Chara is a great Author, she’s very good at keeping the readers attention, the books are and the shorter side but you feel as if it’s a full length story and are not left with any missing links like I’ve found in some shorter books. I highly recommend this series please give it a go.

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series Book 9) by Lara Ward Cosio. Wow just wow. I’m finding a little hard to truly come up with the words to do this book justice in this review. From page one I knew I was in for quite the adventure with all these amazing characters. This coming of age story took me on a journey that had me on the edge of my seat more than once anxiously waiting to see what the next pages would bring. The attention to even the smallest of details had me in complete awe of this author and her writing style. The characters are complex and relatable making them seem very life like. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five big stars all the way and highly recommended. Can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer.

This one isn’t as light hearted and hero-ey as the last ones. In here we get into the nitty gritty of the show and the school. I am saddened it has lost its flair for fun times. This one seems more serious. The characters are mostly the same with a couple added in.

While it the ending to the story I think it focuses too much on messages and the story gets lost in the mix.

IRRESISTIBLE – FALL INTO ROMANCE (Irresistible Romance Book 5) I’m a sucker for a great set of stories that pull at my heart. That’s exactly what the set of stories has done. Each one brought me all the feelings. Each one with amazing characters that were all so easy to connect with and had me lost in each of their worlds for a bit. One of my favorite things about an anthology is I get to visit new authors as well as some authors I already love. I think anthologies are a great way to bring authors together and readers also. This set pulled at every single heart string I’ve got an I truly loved every minute of it. I had a couple favorites I’ll be honest one of which was Two Hearts Truce each character pulled me in from beginning to end and I was sad to leave them but there was more to read! Another favorite was The Lies between Us this one really kept me on the edge of my seat. While I say those are favorites I promise you each story is awesome! Five huge stars and highly recommended!

The Dating Itinerary by Brooke Williams – Review by Tehreem Tahir

The Dating ItineraryThe Dating Itinerary by Brooke Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Dating Itinerary is about a journalist who is semi-forced into going through different dating routes such as tinder, matchmaking, dark dating etc. and she has to give her feedback on it every week for her company’s magazine. If she ends up finding love by the end, she might finally get a cover story! The twist however, lies in her old colleague/nemesis who has the same task as her (albeit in a different magazine) who ends up bumping into her everywhere! Will they finally become friends or is he annoying until the end? Well… read and find out?

I absolutely loved this book! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did! It gave me such ‘The Hating Game’ vibes mixed with the movie ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ and I’m obsessed with both of them so needless to say, I had a blast! The characters are so real and I found the story to be so easy going and every time I put it down, I was dying to pick it up and start reading again! I would highly recommend this book!

The reason I gave it a 4 stars instead of a 5 is because I think the reason for George’s (the main man’s) reasoning for wanting the promotion was justifiable but took me out of the story a bit since it was never properly dealt with at the end, nor did it change during the book. Other than that though; the plot, the characters and the writing as a whole were highly enjoyable and exactly what I was looking for after a tiring week.

This was an interesting, historical story about John the Baptist and how his teachings about love and equality helped to change people’s thoughts and beliefs.

It is a heartwarming story as his relationship and connection with Mischa  grows but it is also heartbreaking because of the outcome.

Its a story that teaches us that everyone is equal no matter who they are or what they believe and that everyone deserves love and compassion. It is a very thought provoking story especially in the current world.

Clive loses his father and his mom comes to take him back. He takes off after he graduates because he can’t take living with his mom. The quote I chose for Clive is: “What did that guy really say?”

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series Book 9) by Lara Ward Cosio – Review by Karyn Taylor

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series #9)Rock Star on the Verge by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rock Star on The Verge is the 9th book in the Rogue Series by Lara Ward Cosio. This series is set around Irish rock band Rogue, the band members and their families. I had read a couple of the earlier books in the series, those with Danny Boy’s story and really enjoyed them and was looking forward to reading another book in this great series.
This book is a bit different in that the romantic element totally takes a back seat, the book is much more of a coming of age story for Donal and a re-evaluation of life for Conor. I hadn’t read the books with Conor’s story but I really loved getting to know him in this book. It was hard reading about him struggling with depression after the death of his father after losing my own father to Covid recently but could totally understand what he was going through.
I absolutely loved the camaraderie between Donal and Conor as they went on their journey, literally and figuratively. Donal has always hero worshipped Conor and I loved reading about him getting to see the real Conor.
Another thing that I really loved about this book was seeing the other Rogue guys and their families again. There is such a great bond between them all and the support they give each other is fantastic (as are the put-downs they give each other too).
I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone considering reading it.

5 out of 5 stars

I have read every single book in this series a few times. I loved seeing the crew and what they have been up to and what trouble they are causing. I have always though that Gavin was my Favorite but nope Connor F###ing Quinn is my favorite. I loved seeing how Ms. Cosio has shown how the characters have grown and they still go through everyday drama. We have watched these guys grow from boys to men and their families grow. Now we get to see what the younger generation and if they too have musical talent like their famous fathers.
This story is about a journey for two lost souls. Connor has been feeling the blues for a while now and Donal Martins eldest son has been making a name for himself but not in a good way. Connor is turning 40 and felicity throws him a surprise party. At this party Connor and Donal are talking and Connor realizes that all their kids are living the privileged life even though Donal has lived the ridicule and scrutiny. So, Connor suggests a road trip what goes on, on the road trip is totally different than Donal is used to and not just that Connor is not acting himself.
I am going to end this review like this because you really need to read the story to find out what happens and what their Journey has entailed and where they go from there,

A DEAD MAN SPEAKS (A CLIVE JANUARY MYSTERY BOOK 1) by LISA JONES GENTRY – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

A Dead Man Speaks (A Clive January Mystery Book 1)A Dead Man Speaks by Lisa Jones Gentry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Dead Man Speaks is the first book in Lisa Jones Gentry’s Clive January Mystery series. The premise of the book is that the deceased Mr January can’t rest until his murder is solved and is able to communicate with Detective Bob Greene to help him. Which should really make the case easier for Greene except that what he gets from January are a series of powerful memories from throughout his life which send him chasing up all kinds of leads which may or may not have anything to do with January’s death.
The story takes a while to get going. For the first twelve chapters it feels like January’s life is flashing slowly before his eyes. This gives us a fair bit of backstory which is useful later on, but I think interspersing this with aspects of the murder investigation would have given the story a more momentum. It is worth persevering, though, as it is an interesting story and the pace and tension do pick up later in the book.
Detective Greene is a complicated character. He testified against a partner who murdered a black teenager but did nothing in the moment to stop his partner. This means that pretty much everybody dislikes him, and his apparently confused morals make it hard for the reader to warm to him. He is persistent, though, and determined to find justice for January.
For me, this is a four-star book. It requires a fair bit of attention and patience but rewards you with an intriguing, tangled mystery with plenty of twists and surprises. I’d recommend it to mystery fans who are interested in ghosts and the paranormal. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel!

Rock Star on the Verge (Rogue Series #9)Rock Star on the Verge by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s never too late to discover yourself.

Connor is in a plato at the moment with life events catching up with him, turning 40 and losing his father he has kind of lost his purpose in life. Although his wife understands there is just no real drive anymore for his career until he takes his godson under his wing and they go on a road trip of discovery.

Dolan has been a part of the rock world ever since he was born, having everything handed to him, he does not seem to have the drive to make his band successful. His relationship with his father is rocky, so when his godfather and idol decides to go with him on a road trip to meet a girl he met online, they both discover things they didn’t know that they need to find within themselves.

This is the first story I have read within the Rogue series and I have to say although I followed the story and characters I would recommend reading the series from the beginning, I have missed the growth of these characters through each book and would love to go back to read them in the future to understand these complex characters.

Although I had not had the chance to meet them before this did not deter from the well developed story that was woven in the book, the relationship between the two main characters was heartwarming and believable. I loved the self discovery moments within the story as you are never too old to find yourself especially after tragedy. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves to read a great book and story.

The Saint of Liars is the second book in the Lucky Devil series. I highly recommend reading the first book before you read this one to get a good grasp of the characters and events that set this book up. Plus, the first book is an amazing read too.
I truly love the blend of tech and magic in this series. In Saint of Liars, Rune discovers more about her abilities, which is a fascinating aspect of the story line.
The tension between St. Benedict and Rune is nearly palpable. I’ll be interested to see how that plays out in future installments. St. Rachel is kind of a person I love to hate. Well, not hate really, but she keeps throwing a wrench in the potential romantic works.
This book is a stellar read! Highly recommend it.

As always another fantastic collection of 5 star stories in this anthology. I love all of the authors in this box set and I would never hesitate to pick up any of their books. It’s so hard to choose favourites when you enjoy all of them but as always I have to mention Tamara Ferguson! I absolutely adore her stories long and short! The characters she creates are just amazing and in the story included in this anthology Two Hearts Truce they were just as I expected wonderful, relatable characters who you just cannot fail to take into your heart. I love how her stories are always different, nothing is every the same. I also really enjoyed Whiskey sour by Jen Talty – I fell in love with this story straight away, Boone was so lovely and I desperately wanted everything to work out for him – there was definitely some chemistry going on in this story. I’ve read a few stories by this author now and I love her writing style, she never fails to engage me and writes about wonderful characters! Another story I really enjoyed was Falling into Love by Natalie Ann, this was a really nice read with wonderful characters.
Overall another AMAZING anthology that I would 100% recommend!

I have really enjoyed this series so I was looking forward to this fifth instalment and I wasn’t disappointed at all.

There are some great twists and turns that had me guessing what was happening and would Madeline and Mike being able to solve these cases!

I loved reading the book Self Made (Freshwater BOOK 2) by Belinda Williams. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I love the characters of Jessica Jinks and Ant Monticello. Jessica is a woman who has an online fitness brand. She is smart, independent, and determined to be successful. She is the perfect one to help transform Ant. She doesn’t expect the feelings that she begins having for him. Ant is a man who has a comedic comeback for anything. He can make you laugh.

I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between them. I couldn’t help but wish for them to be successful and happy. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interacted with Jessica and Ant. Each one has a part to play in the story. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the pages. I found myself lost in the book. Don’t miss out on an entertaining and exciting story.
