Carrie’s Flight (Grandma’s Closet) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jennifer Ramos

Carrie's FlightCarrie’s Flight by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a beautiful story! Another great story told by Ms. Wickstrom. I’ve read quite a few of her books already and love each one. Wickstrom has the amazing ability of creating a cute family story as well as making the reading experience a learning one too! This story tells of the amazing bond between grandmother and granddaughter and one of their favorite pastimes. When grandmother moves away, her granddaughter, Carrie, shares her memories and finds new ways to solidify their bonding over Starling bird watching. As a mother and former teacher, this book is great for a gift as well as one to share within the classrooms.

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series Book 4) by C.R. Alam – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series, #4)Dangerous Rhythm by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dangerous Rhythm is Book Four in The Echo Series. It is an intriguing read with a great storyline that puts a spin on the roles we would typically see in society. The story centers around the characters of Curtis and Lina and the smoldering flame they have carried for each other for years. Curtis is a rockstar that plays in the band Canis Major. He seemingly has everything you could possibly want with wealth, fame, and good-looking women swooning over him. Lina is a bodyguard that has been hired to protect the members of the band. When she has the chance to be around Curtis again after two years away from him, she cannot help but be anxious and excited. He has a charm and presence about him that she has not forgotten and cannot seem to resist. When Curtis witnesses a horrendous crime, it is up to Lina to protect him at all costs. As the two spend more time together the chemistry between them intensifies and becomes undeniable. Lina feels conflicted between keeping Curtis safe and giving into her feelings for him. Curtis has not stopped thinking about Lina since they first met two years ago, and he is determined to show her that he is the man for her. Things heat up in more ways than one with danger lurking around every corner and the passion burning between Curtis and Lina. A fantastic read with drama, danger, angst, passion, chemistry, romance, rockstars, a mob boss, and suspense. I loved the reverse protector roles and how Lina was Curtis’ bodyguard. I especially loved the character of Lina and that she was the protector in this storyline. She was smart, strong, courageous, fierce, and unafraid to look danger in the eye. I highly recommend not only this book, but this series!

Unclutter (Inner Voice Book 1) by Winnie D Pagora – Review by Tanya Wall, December 2023

Unclutter: A Survivor's Story (Inner Voice, #1)Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story by Winnie D. Pagora
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story, the first book in the Inner Voice series by Winnie D. Pagora, is a rollercoaster of emotions that dives deep into overcoming trauma and finding your way back. The story is heavy and gritty, tackling sensitive topics like sexual abuse, mental health, and domestic violence. There are trigger warnings because it’s no light read. Truth is – I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy it.

Tina’s journey is shockingly heart-wrenching, but you get to see her grow and overcome, adding a layer of depth to the story. Despite the heaviness, there are touching moments, true friendships, and resilience that balance it out. Pagora nails the realism without falling into stereotypes, and the relationships in the book feel authentic and nuanced.

Sure, it’s a bit wordy, and the heavy stuff slows it down, but that doesn’t take away from the overall impact. “Unclutter” pleasantly surprised me. It’s not your typical contemporary, but it’s a genuine, slow-paced exploration of recovery and relationships. It might lag a bit in the middle, but if you’re patient and up for a deeper dive, it’s definitely worth a read.

A Journey for Dorothy (The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride Series) by P. Creeden – Review by Cindy Mayberry

A Journey for Dorothy (The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride #8)A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is Dorothy and Reverend Elias’ story, number eight of the many stories in this series. I enjoyed reading how these two unlikely people come together. With 2 plans and two people set in motion. These two live very different lives. After Dorothy lost her husband, she just can’t seem to pull her life together. The house is a constant reminder of the love she lost, and a love she will not have again. The good Reverend has seen his share of death, but when it hits close to home he decides to follow God’s lead and move on. So having that in mind what do you think happens next? I recommend you read this series from the beginning. There is so much that goes on with the wagon train, it quickly became a must read. This author is new to me, so is reading historical romance. But… this story caught my interest and I am happy I read this book. The characters are loveable and the writing makes this a fast paced rollercoaster of emotions. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.

I am loving this series of books that Nevada and Chen are putting out for children, doggos, and owners alike! The concepts are easy to grasp, inclusive, and so well explained. The illustrations are absolutely phenomenal. I really just cannot get over how beneficial this book is not only for the dogs, but also the owners and their children. It is so educational and age-appropriate. This is definitely a must read and should be on your list of gifts to give new dog owners (especially if they have children). I cannot wait to see what these authors do next.

Auctioned: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance by Via Mari is the third book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This is yet another amazing book that I have read by this author. It is such a strong addition to the series. I loved the characters in this book. They had such a strong chemistry together and their connection felt relatable.

Whispered Surrender (Sinful Duets #1)Whispered Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wayward by Via Mari is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards Series. This book is full of drama and intrigue. It will have you hooked from the start and does not let go!
Via Mari is a relatively new author to me but is one that I have already become hooked on. And this book is probably the best so far. I loved everything this book had going on. Right from the start I knew I was going to be in for a ride. The book had loads of drama. You could feel the tension and the chemistry between the characters.
In the best way possible I honestly felt like I didn’t know what was going on or what was going to happen. This author keeps you on the edge of your seat and firmly behind the characters. Which is amazing given that I didn’t really care much either way about Sasha in the Torzial Affair.
This was a brilliant book and a great way to start a new series.
Undercover by Via Mari is the second book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This book is a great follow up to the first in the series. This author really knows how to create lasting characters. I love how all of her series have that slight crossover. It really helps to connect even more with the characters she has created.
The story was fast paced and exciting. It grabs your attention right from the start. With the mystery surround Marenah it was easy to become invested in the story.
This is a great book and a series you should definitely try!

I have loved this series from the moment I started reading and I think this one has to be my favourite so far. Seraphina is a fantastic character. I connected with her so much more than I expected I would and I loved to see how she developed throughout the book. And Seth was just the perfect pairing with Seraphina. They were brilliant together and highly entertaining.

Vanishing Day (Logan McKenna Series Book 4) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Heidi Sturgess

I’ve enjoyed this series so far but I must be honest this one has been my favourite so far !

So Logan’s new neighbour and her daughter are definitely hiding and or running from someone or something and she’s concerned for them ….

Lori was married to a nasty , narcissistic, abusive bully but she’s on the run and she’s got her daughter with her but she also has something to hold over her husband and he knows it and he’ll do anything to get his hands on it and he wants his daughter things escalate but lucky for Lori and her little girl they have Logan on their side and she’s a tough cookie our girl 😉 even in the face of danger

This was really a good read , I was in the edge of my seat quite a few times and I appreciate that the author dealt with the subject of domestic abuse in an honest yet sensitive way 🥰

Looking forward to the next instalment ❣️📚

The BefallenThe Befallen by Cambria Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the debut novel for this author. This is a fantasy novel. It started off kind of slow for me but to be fair, I don’t typically read fantasy so I’m just not used to this style of writing. These characters were so well written. You feel Sloane’s persistence and strength. Sloane doesn’t quit and it really inspires especially given everything she’s had to overcome. The book was so well written you’d never know it was a debut novel. It made it worth reading!

While fantasy is not normally my jam, I’m glad I gave this book a chance. If you enjoy fantasy, this one is definitely for you!

A Journey for Dorothy (The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride #8)A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden is the 8th book to The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride series. Dorothy is a volunteer nurse after 25 years of working in the nursing field. Her husband has passed away several years prior and her only companion has been her faithful dog, Scout, whom she enjoys roaming the land with. An opportunity arises for her to move westward on the wagon train heading to Oregon, and she wants to go. But the thing she has been avoiding since the loss of her husband is her only ticket to make this new life possible.

Reverend Elias Stone’s faith calls him to travel from Tennessee to the west to bring aid to lost souls. Dangers along the way lead him to Dorothy and the two of them entwining in what they plan to be a short-lived relationship of sorts. But is that really want destiny has in store for them?

I really adored the strength both characters displayed and trusting in their faith to guide them on their adventure to a new life. Beautifully descriptive, characters were well developed and yet seemed to continue their growth on their journey. For a feel-good, sweet adventure, this story was very enjoyable to read and would recommend to anyone who enjoys historical, clean romance.

The Magic Man Audiobook (The Olympic Peninsula Book 3) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Laura Jones

The Magic Man is book 3 of the Olympic Peninsula Series, and I have not read the first two books. However, I found this book easy enough to follow along with (and now I want to go back and read the first two!). This book follows the story of Maddie and David. It’s obvious they should be together, but the timing is just never right for either of them. David has his fiancée Sylvia to worry about, and Maddie is having a fling (as she knows it will be) with Kilo. There are obvious feelings there, but it seems they have a hard time admitting it in the beginning. Also, we see David’s special talent for healing the ones he loves in this book, and Maddie learns the secret. A very interesting book, indeed! And so refreshing that the author, Cat Treadgold, narrates her own book!

Carrie’s Flight (Grandma’s Closet) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Megan Conley

Carrie's Flight (Grandma's Closet)Carrie’s Flight by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Typically Wickstrom’s stories have a very overt lesson to be learned in them. This one takes a little longer to come to the surface. This is not one of my favorites from Wickstrom and it’s because I think that what she’s trying to convey to her readers isn’t overt enough. I understand that she is tackling the IDEA of loosing a loved one; however, it’s not clear and I think it may be hard for children to grasp that concept with the way that it’s been conveyed here. However, I think Wickstrom has opened the door for parents to talk about the loss of loved ones with this book and that may have been her intention all along. I always love Wickstrom’s combination of nature and science and learning into her life lessons. And per usual, the illustrations are wonderfully done. This book is just not as whimsical as her others (and dealing with the topic it does, it makes sense) so that could be why it just doesn’t catch my eye like most of her other books do. But like I said earlier, I think this book can open up a conversation about a very difficult topic.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very cute, angsty read that will have you silently cursing at the characters until the very end. It’s a whirlwind of a romance for Claire, the beautiful celebrity heiress, and Nick, the struggling artist, who meet while Nick is serving Claire and her friends all they could want and more at a high-end restaurant. Nick and Claire rendezvous by chance in the hallway that night and things go from there…but little do they realize that they are falling in love and that may pose a problem. I really enjoyed the plot line of this book and I absolutely loved that we get a dual POV in a roundabout way. The story is really sweet and does end in an HEA. The spice is there but it is very behind the scenes. I really recommend this book. It’s quick and great if you are wanting a palette cleanser between bigger reads.

This was an amazing book. I couldn’t sleep until I finished it. It was a quick read because I became so involved in what was going on. There is so much in this book that I am having a difficult time trying to say why y’all should read it without giving anything away. You will get so emotionally involved in this duet that you will find yourself talking out loud to the characters and wanting to smack them at the same time. I always think that if you can get emotionally attached to the characters, that is how you know the book is written really well. The suspense in the stories if this duet is amazing. You will be on the edge of your seat waiting with bated breath to see what happens. You will also be blushing at the steam and romance of this story. The only exclaimer I can suggest is to be aware of your surroundings while reading this duet. I say that because I. did walkout loud and groan while reading this and my kids looked at me funny. I found myself having to walk around or to just stand up because of what was happening in this duet. This is an incredible duet that had me physically reacting to what was going on. You will not be disappointed when reading this.

There’s mischief, drama, loyal friends, some misunderstandings between good friends and so much more. The author has created wonderful characters and world where young readers can learn about friendships. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order. The books are geared toward 8-13 year olds but can definitely be read by those young at heart. I know I would have loved this series as a kid.

Encounters with Old CoyoteEncounters with Old Coyote by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful story of a woman’s life, and her search for the meaning of the world beyond. Andrea was a successful woman who loved to write and tell stories and was ready to leave this life behind after being told she had a short time left to live. After much planning and preparation, she travels to a place she deeply connects with and slips away while under the stars. Andrea has an out of body experience, realizing that she is now a ghost floating above her body, unsure what comes next. She comes upon a coyote, who she questions about all of the topics that have been weighing on her mind, but instead of giving her direct answers, as spiritual coyotes, tricksters, are well known to do, he tells her a story. Throughout the story we are told multiple stories, mostly by Andrea, who has a talent for recounting tales and stories. In the end the coyote tells a powerful tale to Andrea and a small group of friends while around a campfire, with Andrea snuggled into her sleeping bag, under the stars. This story was so beautifully written, and has such an impactful influence about it, with deeper meaning. I really enjoyed the telling of the tales between the two companions.

4 Stars

 

Sweet Dreams By Claire is the second book in the Capture the Light series by Nanette Littlestone. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from her writing- but do I love a sweet romance, and this promised to deliver that- so I one-clicked a copy and set off to explore.
This is a touching romance with magical realism, a little drama, family dynamics, baking, intriguing characters, emotion, a small-town setting, a mysterious antique brooch, feelgood moments, tender touches, sweet developments, and delightful details – which is all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Emerald Isle.
I loved meeting Claire and following along on her journey of discovery- self-discovery, discovering love, and more. Finn is such a great character- he’s arrived for his sister’s wedding, and the connection between him and Claire made the story quite romantic. They do have their challenges though- which the author cleverly wove into the story- adding a touch of drama and adding even more interest.
I will definitely be going back to read Book #1 (For the Love of Brigid) and finding out what happened there (it’s Brigid’s wedding in this book that brings Claire and Finn together) before continuing with the rest of this series.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nanette Littlestone!

Action-packed thrill ride! Pavlo maybe the alpha-hole that you think he is but he totally seems worth it. Regan is almost everything you want in a FMC, except too selfless. She should totally care about what happens to herself, which she never does.

Regan is a romance author on a short book tour with Pavlo, a spy thriller author. Pavlo is also a highly-skilled private security contractor. That part of Pavlo’s world is just kept on the DL. When Regan is unknowingly pulled into an assassination plot, she tries to figure it out on her own but gets in way over her head. Pavlo and his former SEAL friends are there to protect Regan from the crazies and, as it seems, herself.

There is a major twist when the action starts going down. People Regan thought were not loyal turn out to be her allies. People Regan thought would always have her back were only using her for their own benefit. All except Pavlo. He has been there from the beginning of this mess and despite him saying that he could only be a short-term situation, he appears to be very much in for the long-term.

This author writes genuine characters. There was some great banter. Even a few laughs along the way but what gets you the most is the selflessness Regan shows for her daughter. Fantastic read!
