Callahan O’Reilly is the elite Athlete, the Football Star, and a god to all around him, apart from Jamaica Winslow. Callahan must try and concentrate when he is placed with Jamaica, a straight A student for a project but when he gets to know her, he sees more of the qualities he wants to go out with.
Jamaica was determined to not be attracted to the god which is Callahan O’Reilly but as she gets to know him and sees he is more than the sport he plays and the pressures that is put on him she becomes more attracted and wants to find out more behind the football.
I enjoyed this book greatly, although at times I was a little confused at the totally lack of understanding sometimes from Jamaica towards Callahan but the interactions in general were heart-warming and beautiful.
The story weaves into the world of college football and the stress that are placed on athletes to perform and the pressure Callahan has just adds to the drama within the story. Jamaica’s character was a little frustrating to me although this did not deflect from the story and the secondary characters added another layer in the story.
I can’t wait for the next story in this series.

This book was a decent read for me. I had a little bit of a hard time being engaged in the story but that could be because I do not usually choose books with some of the plot lines in here. It could be because it is the 7th of the series so I wasn’t as invested as if it had been a continuation. With that said, the plot was well done. I absolutely loved Cody!

Most kids think about flying at one point and this book feeds into that sweet fantasy. Who wouldn’t want to fly with the birds? The story of her grandmother’s wings and how they are passed down through the family is sweet and it is nice to see they have a special bond. I love the end has a history and facts about starlings to teach children.
What a fantastic and smart opposites-attract sports romance!!!
Jamaica and Callahan had me hooked from the very first pages of their story!! The electricity between them was evident from their very first meeting in class, and from that moment on, I was firmly in their corner!
Jamaica and Callahan are polar opposites. When they are paired up for a class project, she is less than thrilled, but not Callahan. He likes her and likes getting under her skin even better. She wants nothing to do with him, I mean, he is a player both on and off the field or so that is what Jamaica thinks. As she spends more time with him, she realizes he is so much more. He reads Jane Austen, and he is NOT the dumb jock. In fact, he is quite intelligent. To top it off, he is actually a gentleman as well.
Jamaica isn’t like any girl Callahan has ever met. His past hookups have been casual and easy, and nothing about her is casual or easy. However, he doesn’t mind. As he spends more time with her, he falls even deeper. But, he has a hard job ahead of him breaking down the solid walls that she has built around her heart.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t love about this couple. The banter between them was priceless. I enjoyed the way they teased one another, and their nicknames for each other were so cute!!! Even though there was some lightheartedness in the book, there was also some seriousness as well. Jamaica won’t give any man her heart easily. She has serious trust issues because of her relationship or non-relationship with her father. Even though what she and Callahan have is special, and he has done everything right to gain her trust, she still pulls away. She saw how her mother had struggled because she gave her heart away, and she didn’t want to give up a part of herself or her independence.
There are so many of these types of romances, but this author made her book stand out from the pack. The characters were complex and multi-layered, and she had some real surprises for us in the book that I didn’t see coming. And, her analogy between football and chess was GENIUS!!!! This was a romance that was witty and smart! I LOVED IT!!! I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series!!!!

Cozy mystery The third book in The Diamond District Mystery Series is a story filled with tension, suspense and intrigue. This was balanced with witty banter and an array of interesting characters. I enjoyed the storyline but did struggle to connect to Mimi, she was a bit over the top at times. This didn’t detract from the story as the writing was good and flowed well and kept me engaged until the end. I’m curious enough to want to check out other books in this series. Recommend.

Lela Vella has been a dutiful daughter and aunt for the past decade. But her plan to wean her father and orphaned niece off their dependence on her is scuttled when her niece and boyfriend flee Sydney for Malta. Lela suspects her autocratic father of provoking the flight. Lela’s desperate to reach the teenager before her father’s ultimatums blow another generation apart.
Widowed, Australian international child-protection lawyer, Hamish McGregor accepts Giovanni Vella’s request to remain in Malta after a conference to search for Vella’s missing granddaughter. Hamish’s formidable reputation is built on putting the needs of the child first. He doubled down on his work after the revenge murder of his pregnant wife by a client’s husband, vowing never to get close enough to another woman for her to be a target.
Lela doesn’t expect her father’s henchman to beat her to Malta. Hamish doesn’t expect the girl’s doting aunt to see him as an enemy.
Reluctant partners, they navigate false leads and unexpected attraction. Can Lela balance her family’s demands with her love for Hamish? Can Hamish accept living life is all about taking risks?
Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly, but not exclusively, in Australia – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ?. A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters.
Jennifer fell in love with romance as a teenager. Starting with historical romance. Everything in the school library and then a personal treasured collection of Georgette Heyer, hard copies and paperbacks. Historical romance remains comfort food, like vegemite toast, for those times when she feels low, but Georgette Heyer was an early star, under the blankets after lights out using a torch.
Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of Australia. Three times a finalist in the Emerald competition, including in 2017, 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022 (Quinn by Design – July 2024). She’s a member of Romance Writers of New Zealand, winning the Pacific Hearts competition twice, including in 2019 with Grace Under Fire, the sequel to Taylor’s Law. She’s also a member of Romance Writers of America and has been a finalist in chapter competitions in 2019, 2020 (Winner Orange Rose contemporary romance category – Planting Hope) and 2021 (Taylor’s Law). Jennifer values competitions for the constructive, honest, not always comfortable feedback they provide.
Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversations, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.
Jennifer lives in inner-city Sydney, Australia, with the requisite number of partners (1) and animals (2). Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best ideas during long yin yoga poses or walking – anywhere. While Jennifer adores historical romance, she chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research while she was holding down a full-time job.

Bookbub – Triple Trouble at Amberwood (The Amberwood Hall Ballet School Series) by Eleanor Dixon
Vengeful ghosts at the Ballet School? Is Lauren to blame for their presence? Are Grace and Rodney at risk?
Lauren only wants to help a new ghost in town. But her act of kindness sets off a series of unexplained events at Amberwood. Her friendship with Grace is put to the test, and she is torn between loyalty to her ghostly bestie and her commitment to saving the school. Can Lauren find out who is behind the mischief and put a stop to it? With a prestigious show in the town’s old theatre and important exams just around the corner, the clock is ticking.
I spent my school life in a girls’ boarding-school specialising in classical ballet and on leaving I danced professionally, touring Europe, for 4 years. After that, I ran my own ballet school in Athens, Greece for several years and simultaneously volunteered as a veterinary nurse, as my love of animals is the driving force in my life. I returned to England with my horse and my cat, and now live on a smallholding in Shropshire with my husband, various farm animals and a constant stream of pets.
I started writing while in Greece and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writers’ Bureau. The same year, I won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult Fairy Story.
On my return to England, I wrote two children’s books, but my new life, caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens, and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. I continued my love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.
I am now writing full time and THE GRACEFUL GHOST was my first self-published book. It was shortlisted for the UK Selfies 2021 Award and draws on my own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and early teenage life. Book two, Ballet School Boys, introduces boys to the school and book three, Ballet School Rumours continues their adventures with the resident ghosts, Grace and Rodney.
I am also working on a six-book series called TALLY AND THE ANGEL. Tally and her angel’s first adventure takes them to India. In the second book they go to Canada, in North Yukon and the third in Japan. I intend them to have adventures in Greece, Egypt, Peru – anywhere I have been, really. Each book has an extra story woven into it because every chapter starts with a paragraph telling the back story of one of the mystical elements of the story. Book One tells the story of Jophiel, the Angel. Book Two tells the story of Auric, the Spirit of Gold.
I am truly passionate about writing and have all my books professionally edited and proofread before going to print.

This is an adorable story about a husky. The text is written in poetic form but not too sing-song. Illustrations are vibrant and being out the husky personality. I read this book too my grandson and he loved it! We also have a husky malamute mix, and he doesn’t howl either. Small acts of kindness and love are the theme in this story. I love the friend and family Luna has on her life.

Susan has so quickly become one of my favorite authors. Honestly I know I’m going to sit down and lose all sense of time and place because she sucks you in so deeply. My heart was racing, palms sweaty more than once reading this one. I cannot get enough of the mystery/look over your shoulder thrillers. The characters she creates captivate your attention and you just feel as if you have been friends for a long time. Read any book by Susan and you won’t be disappointed.

I will be the first to admit that sports romances aren’t typically my go to however the push and pull made the chemistry for these college students on fire.

I don’t know what it is about T.S. Simons but they have a way of just pulling you right into the story. This was even better of a read as a Canadian getting to see some culture there. Caitlin and Gio are such great characters and I really was pleased the second in the series didn’t drop the ball so to speak. Thrilling read with some great ups and downs to keep you pulled all the way in!

If I could read books like this everyday, I’d be in reading heaven!! I absolutely loved this book! First of all, it’s a clean mystery read. I’d let my young daughter read this without any qualms. Second, it’s witty and fun to read about Ivy and her new position at work. There is a budding romance that’s very sweet to see develop. I was a little disturbed that Ivy referred to him as Mr. Humphrey, although he is her boss and this is a very new relationship.
Overall, a very enjoyable read! I’m going to be reading more by this author and in this series.

Honestly, I was not expecting this book to blow me away as much as it did. I have gone through a lot of things within this last year and was needing something that would help me as much as it has. Doing the exercises, helped me let go of a lot of heaviness that I had within me. I was absolutely blown away. I cannot speak more highly about this journal/book. The author OUTDID herself. I absolutely loved this.

The fish weren’t biting at Lake Fish-Or-Cut-Bait, but then the wind kicked up and a waterspout formed and began sucking all the water out of the lake, fish, frogs, and all. The wind then moved into town, picking up everything in its path. When the wind lost its energy, it began raining fish and frogs everywhere. This was a cute children’s book!

I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. One day, a hot football player notices Jamaica and starts talking to her. She of course doesn’t give him the time of day until she is paired up with him on a project for the class. Of course Callahan Is the hot football player everyone knows and loves so he has his fan club following him everywhere interrupting their study sessions. Callahan doesn’t stop trying to flirt with Jamaica and I love their banter. They really are so sweet together when Jamaica finally lets her guard down and gives in to Callahan’s irresistible charm. Jamaica is on a scholarship so needs to keep her grades up. Somehow, information is leaked that she is getting special treatment which is helping her with her grades so her big project is under review by lots of people. What will happen with Jamaica’s scholarship? Always likes this authors writing and this book was no different. Definitely another 5 star read for me.

This is a unique and interesting story that is really well written and thought through. As a debut novel it really showcases what this author has to offer. It is a historical fantasy story that draws you in with ease. It has a depth about it that you don’t always get from books like this and is more than I expected it would be. I enjoyed the characters in the book. Each had their own part to play and added something to the storyline. I wanted to know more about them and their journey. This book is a great book and I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next.

This book is a sweet and heartwarming holiday romance that has a real festive feel. It is a second chance romance for both characters and watching their relationship develop over the course of the book was lovely. I connected with each of them individually and loved reading them together. This is the first book that I have read by this author and, although it is the third book in the series, I didn’t feel like I had missed out on anything. I enjoyed how the author created the story and learning her writing style. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I cannot wait to read the rest.
Luna the Howling Husky Finds Her Howl by Samantha Shannon. This is the cutest story and the pictures are gorgeous. This story is such a good story about loving everyone and not judging anyone due to their looks, personality or ability to do things. Luna is a husky puppy and she loves being a puppy but she feels like she doesn’t fit in because she can’t howl yet. She tries and tries, practices daily and she just can’t get it. She feels like she is an outcast with her siblings. One day she finds a cat that accepts her just the way she is and she finally feels loved. While this friendship builds her confidence she begins to be able to learn to howl. Such a fun, lovely book that has beautiful pictures and lots of activities to do in the back. This would make a great gift for the beginning reader and for the younger ones as well.

Finding Your Heart by Nadia Han. I loved this journal so much that I bought one for each person in my circle group at church. Its the best journal I have found that covers a multitude of issues. If you are the type of person that doesn’t like to talk to others about your problems and keep everything inside this is the perfect journal for you. The pictures are beautiful and I enjoyed answering the questions inside. While this journal may have you getting out of your comfort zone it will be a great healing tool if you will let it. I lost a twin baby 25 years ago along with my dad completing suicide the same year. It was a very rough time and if I had this journal then it would have helped immensely. I still got a lot out of it and I enjoyed it very much!

This is a cute story about finding yourself, making friends and being loved. The message is clear as well as fun for the children. When Luna feels alone the one who befriends her is a shy kitten. The two begin a story worth reading. Can Luna and her new friend really become friends? Will Luna’s siblings stop teasing her, because she can’t howl? The author has a well written story the children will love. I know we did. We also enjoyed the extra puzzles at the end of the story. Making this a learning story as well as fun. This story is fast paced and easy for children to follow along. It also opened a discussion following the reading.. I look forward to reading more from this author. Review@cinful

This is the 3rd book in the Grave Digger Academy series. It is a must read for fans of paranormal fantasy fiction. I think out of the three books, this is the most creative and fans will appreciate it. There’s lots of adventure, fun and a touch of romance.
This series follows Makayla on her adventure within the academy after learning of her rare ability to see and communicate with the dead. The mysterious and secret school for people with her abilities turns out to be a great fit allowing her to learn more about her power plus uncover the mysterious realm called the afterlife.
This book presents Makayla and her friends with their biggest challenge to date. They are forced to fight a sinister plot to disrupt the balance between the living and the dead. There is a lot of growth throughout the series and especially in this challenging chapter.
I hope you enjoy stories that include humor, emotions, action, and suspense because this one is overflowing with it all!
I think everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this story. It is so well written and has a good balance of characters, plot & incredible dialogue. I highly recommend.

I have been enjoying reading all of Lilliana Rose’s books and series. Her ways of bringing the character’s perspectives to view have me loving fantasy romance more than before.
Tanjie works at a bookshop and she does not know that she is a witch yet. She had trouble accepting the truth at first but then she met Alaric, I believe he is the Omega in the pack of wolf shifters. Who started attacking the witches because they had control over the wolves.
The reason 4 stars is that I am still a newbie in this genre and growing into loving wolf shifters and witches with vampires.
