This is book #6. Just like all the books I have read so far, I can’t seem to put it down. There are so many new characters in this one. I especially like that Logan finally has met her half sister. She and her guy (Ben) bought a house on the Oregon Coast, they are fixing up. However, during this renovation they discover some things that may hide hints to the murder of Charlotte Collins and maybe even more. The details of Charlotte’s murder is a bit hidden so in true fashion, Logan has to get involved. Of course this time she is taking her half-sister Olivia with her. Can they find out who murdered Charlotte Collins or is her death a mystery? Continue the series to find out!!!

This is book one of the Logan McKenna Series. I have the whole series but I am slowly reading them all. Logan McKenna is this amazing woman who tends to stick her nose into some rather dangerous situations but she doesn’t realize that its dangerous until its almost too late. I really wished I had started with Shattered when I started reading the series. Each character has a specific role to play in the telling of this story. This is where Logan finds out about a few things that are life changing. Including a Viking of a man named Ben. I can’t wait to finish the series and tell you all about how Logan’s life has turned out. Is it for the better, be like me and continue reading the series to find out.

Makayla is a witch and for the last two years has attended the Grave Digger Academy and no, it isn’t somewhere you learn how to bury a dead body, that’s the job of a gravedigger, a Grave Digger, stops them from coming back out. Makayla hasn’t had it easy these last two years and seems to always be the centre of trouble, however, when she goes back to the Academy for her third year, it isn’t as she remembers it, its empty!
That along with an ominous feeling brewing in her gut and nobody to talk to means that Makayla is destined to have a lonely year, but when she starts the actual term, the loneliness doesn’t last for long, but she realises just how much she relied on others for help, especially when none is forthcoming.
Will Makayla find out any explanations for why the Academy is so empty and why nobody wants to even associate themselves with her, or will the trouble she is always trying to avoid find her again? This is yet another fantastic glimpse into a world where skeletons aren’t just in the closet, where secrets abound, danger lies around every corner and mythical entities are revealing themselves.

N. Jackson – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
This was my first venture into the world of the Grimm Wolves. Although I was clearly missing some history, it was easy to catch on to the characters and their places. Excellent story.
Celestina “Celee” is finally escaping her past with a plan. She has run away with a biker. This is going to work. Now if she can just find a way to stay ahead of those hunting her, she will be okay.
Frank or Dingo is that biker. They met online and he fell hard. Now that he has his Celee within his grasp, he is not letting go. He will do anything to protect her, even risk his patch. Frank is just a prospect with the Grimm Wolves. This could cost him everything. The Grimm Wolves have become his family, since his birth family was a nightmare.
As Frank and Celee grow closer, so does the threat to them and the club. To Celee’s surprise, the Grimm Wolves help protect her every step of the way. The biggest surprise is when her cousin, Shadow, comes to aid in the plan to keep her safe. When it all goes down, Celee and Frank discover strengths they didn’t know they had and realize that family is more than just biology.
This book does not disappoint from the beginning until the end. Action and excitement from the start. Another amazing story from this author.

I’m also new to the M/M stories no matter what the genre so it’s like a whole new world is opening up to me. The story is told from the dual points of view of Mordecai and Lucifer. In my personal opinion it doesn’t always work but it did seem to enhance this story. Lucifer is new to Eden Cove and is eager to find out the mysteries surrounding the manor. He sets out to uncover these secrets and meets Mordecai. Mordecai doesn’t like that someone has invaded their privacy, but they are missing link to something and Lucifer may be it. This was a good and quick read that could have gone on for several more chapters. Even so the author got her point across and told a full story that keeps you entertained from page one. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

Makayla is back for a third year in the paranormal academy system, bringing with her brand new insights into her classmates’ lives. With more than just dead bodies being dug up, no secrets are safe. This year’s students are about to learn some skeletons are better off hidden in a closet, rather than buried in a shallow grave.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you differently.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.
Fast forward to today…

Have ghost. Will travel. When your not so very departed great-great-aunt relies on her old belongings to cling to her particular form of spectral life force, what do you do when some of them come up for auction in Tuscany? Travel to Italy, of course! But what Genie Darling expected to be a smooth, if expensive operation, soon becomes a haunting experience. The auction house goes up in flames, there’s a dead body, and her great-great-aunt Adriana’s evening gown from Chanel is a pile of ashes . . . or is it? So much for la dolce vita. And when it looks like the wrong man will be suspected of arson and manslaughter, it’s time for Genie and her merry ghost sidekick to sleuth again!
Carmen has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side. She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter. When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life.The shaken but stirring novel made it to the longlist of the Mslexia competition, and her next book and first mystery, The Case Of The Missing Bride, was a finalist in the Malice Domestic competition in a year without a winner. Since then she has penned several more cozy mysteries, including the Jack and Frances series set in the 1930s and the paranormal cozy Genie and Adriana Darling mysteries. Carmen now lives in Italy with her human and her four-legged family.

A woman grieving the loss of a loved one. A man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Does one fateful summer really have the power to change everything?
Rising photographer Annie Baxter is ready for a fresh start when she makes her way from New York to the sparkly sands of South Beach. A recent college graduate, she has no plans other than to distract herself with sun and surf, pictures and friends. Then a man named Cal Prescott steps in front of her lens… When he first spots Annie on the stairs of his best friends’ home, he’s enamored. It doesn’t matter if they only have the summer. Or if twenty years separate them. They soon find that nothing — not temporary circumstances, panic attacks, or an age gap — can keep them from starting what their hearts desire.
Follow Annie and Cal on a journey of love, loss, and what it means to give up defining themselves.
Author Note: Previously published in 2018 as The South Beach Connection Trilogy: Landslide, Wanderlust, and Continuum — Where the Ocean Meets the Sky combines those three books into one, as the author originally intended. Although heavily edited, combined, and relaunched since their initial release, the overall story remains. Literary fiction meets contemporary romance — a love made in the stars. A connection not to be forgotten.
200,000-words — over 800 pages. Part of the two-book series: The Ocean Series. Either book may be read first. The reader must choose. This is the main title. Contains graphic content that may trigger some readers.

She loves the ocean.
Chocolate.
Her children.
And Cary Grant.
She annoys those darling little children by quoting lines from Back to the Future, but despite her knowledge of eighties and nineties pop culture, she was actually meant to live alongside the Lost Generation after the Great War and write a mediocre novel while drinking absinthe with Hemingway. Instead, find her sipping unsweet tea near a beautiful garden as she weaves fictional tales of love and connection amid reality.

Hadley
He’s a surfer. A loner. A man on a quest to rid himself of pesky feelings.
After his grandfather passes away, Cal Prescott begins to see life differently.
Money wants his attention, women beckon, and the pursuit of success becomes a cycle he can’t seem to break.
Follow Cal from age sixteen to forty-five, from 1985 to 2014, from the tangerine fields of Ojai to the neon streets of Miami Beach — from being ready to take on the world to hitting the bottom of the sea.
Cal spends half his life waiting for the perfect wave to break over the horizon, looking for comfort, searching for peace — and he’ll chase every last drop of water … until he finds release.
Author Note: Part of the two-book series: The Ocean Series. The Ocean in His Veins may be read as a companion to the main title Where the Ocean Meets the Sky or as a standalone. Please be advised that reading this story first may change the way Cal is initially perceived in the latter book. This can be good or bad, depending on the reader.
Literary fiction, not romance. The characters and their intense and realistic actions drive the plot. 76,000-words. The Ocean in His Veins details Cal’s life from age sixteen to forty-five. The story ends the night he meets Annie in 2014. Contains graphic content that may trigger some readers.

What does one do when they get invited to their ex-husband’s wedding? Well that’s how Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes began! The author takes us on a whirlwind of an adventure in a sometimes unusual situation. Sometimes exes are friends but most times they aren’t. And in this case Olivia had decided she wasn’t going to go… However if that happened we wouldn’t have had a book to enjoy! Olivia was strong-armed by her daughter into going to her ex-husband’s wedding. With her insistence that they will have a date for her. Boy did she not disappoint! The most gorgeous, frustrating, specimen of a man was found waiting for Olivia when she arrived in Belize. What she didn’t know is that this man is a famous hockey player and that his daughter is her daughter’s best friend so he’s not just any stranger. Starting off on a frustrating foot she couldn’t deny how she was feeling and eventually gave in. Roman thought his daughter was out of her mind inviting him to be a blind date at this wedding. He only agreed because his daughter would be there and he would do anything to spend time with her. A professional hockey player didn’t allow him to be present in her life. What he wasn’t expecting was a beautiful woman, that he made his mission to prove to her she’s exactly that. Starting out as a fake date turned into something real. The chemistry is undeniable. One problem is that they live in different states. Have careers of their own so how can it progress more than the destination wedding vacation. Well that’s exactly why you’re reading, right? To find out what happens. The author displays wonderful growth in the story especially for Olivia. Roman’s character goes through some growing pains too! I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I’m always a sucker for a sports romance. What about you?

MC club books are some of my favorites! And I’m so obsessed with this book it’s ridiculous. The angst, the drama, the suspense was all phenomenal. I quickly read this because I couldn’t put it down.

This author never fails to deliver an absolutely astounding read! She is one of my favorites to keep on my watch list because I haven’t found a book of hers that I haven’t fallen in love with throughout many different series. This is the 7th book in the Grimm Wolves MC series and what an addition it turned out to be. I’m fully invested in the emotionally tormented characters as well as the suspenseful rollercoaster of a storyline. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire book as it was incredibly intense and heart-wrenching. I was torn between reading as quickly as possible and trying to slow down to really absorb every beautiful detail that was intricately woven into this series. Dingo and Celee just have this way about them, and their chemistry is palpable. They truly evolve right before your eyes and it’s as if nothing else exists. If you love a captivating MC romance with plenty of action, drama, and suspense, don’t pass this book/series up or you’ll regret it! I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next because I am READY!

I really like the book cover art!! It’s an incredibly riveting thriller which is book 7 of this series. I was captivated from page one
The author does a great job making the continued storyline suspenseful and exhilarating. The characters are well written and they’re easily recognizable as someone you know in your life.
For those who are animal lovers, Cody the dog is my favorite character.
The twists and turns in this book will hook you and I highly recommend this read. I cannot wait to read what’s next!!

Mama Warbler is sitting on her nest keeping the eggs warm. One day, those eggs start to hatch and Mama is so excited to see her new youngins. The first one to hatch is much too big to be a warbler. She’s a cuckoo who’s mom laid her in the warbler’s nest. All the other eggs hatch but one. She’s known as the Timid Chick. She just wants to stay in her shell and when Mama Warbler is away gathering food, the Cuckoo started bullying and discouraging her from ever hatching. The Cuckoo then kicks Timid Chick out of the nest one day while Mama is away. Things have a whole new perspective after that for Timid Chick.
This is a great book for kids to learn how to stand up to bullies. It’s also great for teaching kids that it’s ok to be timid but that by doing so, they may be missing out. It’s an encouraging read that is also intended to help build up confidence in those who may not have as much as others. It’s ok to be timid but let’s work on building up courage and confidence!
Each and every book of the WaterFyre Rising Books has been absolutely phenomenal and this book definitely fits the mold. This is a second chance romance that is wonderfully well written. This book focuses on Kiera and Forrest and has a major focus on what happens when one is faced with having to choose between getting revenge and saving someone. This added a very interesting element to the plot that made it impossible for me to put down. I loved watching Kiera and Forrest together and seeing them navigate their complicated situation. Both characters were well developed and believable. I definitely found myself really rooting for them both. I definitely recommend picking this one and the rest of the series!

This is enemies to lovers done right. Each of the WaterFyre rising book is better than the next. They are filled with spice and well written characters and this does not disappoint. Grayson and Natalie have such fantastic chemistry that the tension between them just jumps off the page. Their banter is absolutely enjoyable and really makes the book move at a fast pace. I loved how these characters just jump off the page. I completely recommend picking up this one and the rest of the series! I definitely cannot wait for the next book!

Another great read from an exceptional author. This is the seventh book in this series and should be read in order so you have a better understanding of the characters and backstory of what’s going on. This story is full of danger, drama, action, deceit, love, forgiveness, family, and more. There are some subjects that could be triggering for some readers so be aware of that before reading. This author never disappoints, her stories are always engaging and every book I have read by her is always hard to put down because I get so engrossed in them. Both of the main characters have a rough past that’s hard to let go of. Celee is on the run trying to stay alive and Frank is trying to protect her. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. I found myself rooting for them and hoping they find the love that they both deserve. This book is told from different pov’s and it made the story that much more interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend it.

Earl – Review by Candida Hopper
This is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising Series. It is such a good book that really has it all and is impossible to put down. It has romance and mystery. It also has a plot that sucks you in from page one and really doesn’t let you put it down until the last page. Royce is such an interesting character. He is such a thrill seeker and really is a protective alpha. Michelle is a very relatable character. She has such depth to her and is really flawed in a relatable way. This book is filled with adventure and sexual tension. It also is filled with twists and turns. I definitely recommend picking up this book, I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series as this was such a good read to me!

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes By: Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart This is such a fun book! I love a good sports romance and this definitely delivers on that. This book features amazingly well written characters who really are relatable and just enjoyable to get to know. The authors do a fantastic job with character development and moving the plot ahead at a pace that keeps you sucked in. Olivia and Roman are just really fun characters and I really enjoyed watching them get to know each other. I definitely enjoyed this book and am glad to know that it is a part of a series as I really want to read more from both of these authors!

Olivia is an older FMC that is dealing with hot flashes and crazy hormones…and now she is going to a destination wedding where her ex-husband is the groom. Enter her children who hook her up with a fake date to the wedding. How bad could it be? Sun, sand, some drinks….and a professional hockey player?!?
Roman is nearing the end of his professional career. His teammates keep getting younger and younger while…well…he isn’t. When he finds himself being Olivia’s fake date, he doesn’t expect the chemistry that these two have. However, a vacation fling is just that…right?
These two had me laughing and kept me turning the pages. Due to the age range, I found myself connecting with Olivia. (Hot flashes are no joke – take stock in a fan company!) The banter was great and the chemistry was off the charts. Both have pasts that they need to work through…and somehow they each made the other a better person. A great, entertaining book that I really enjoyed! Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Fractured Hearts is the seventh book in the Grimm Wolves MC Series. If you have not yet read the first books in this series, I highly recommend that you do. Not only is the series amazing, but each book continues from the one prior and the characters overlap from book to book. This book has action, suspense, mystery, drama, romance, humor, passion, romance, bikers, villains, and intrigue. The story centers around the characters of Celee and Dingo who met by chance on a dating app. Dingo is a prospect of the Grimm Wolves MC’s and trying to prove himself to them. He is smart, funny, sexy, strong, and willing to do anything to protect those he cares about. Celee is smart, courageous, sweet, and fun loving. Both characters come from dark and painful pasts that help them to better understand one another and brings them closer. When they meet the chemistry and passion between Dingo and Celee is undeniable and off the charts. The story grabbed my attention from the first few pages as Dingo and Celee are being pursued by some heinous villains who are after Celee and Dingo is determined to protect her at all costs. A high-speed car chase, gunshots, a car wreck, and a new furry companion for the duo happens within the first few pages. From there the tension is palpable as the twists and turns kept me captivated until the final pages. I loved how the characters from previous books came into play and how they all banded together to protect Celee. This was another great book by this talented author! I highly recommend this book, and this series!

Earl – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
This book is a well written mystery story filled with suspense and intrigue. Somehow, I think this is my first book involving a mystery about diamonds and I fully enjoyed every moment of it. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone. It is easy to become invested in what is happening and I found myself swept up by the mystery that needed to be solved. The characters were all good to read about and added to the overall story. I struggled a few times to fully connect with Mimi, but as the story went one I warmed to her and enjoyed her role in the book. This is a great book and I will be going back to read the others.

These two!!! Wow do they have chemistry! It is literally leaping off the pages! That helped entrance me into the story and then I really just went along for the ride! This is the fourth book in the series and it is my second favorite. Forrest and Kiera are both amazing. Each one has their own thing going on and when they are together its fire! He has the whole vendetta going on then he gets involved with Kiera and maybe that vendetta is not as important as it once was. The many changes he goes through during this action packed story are wonderful. That epilogue was perfect and actually even before that (maybe the previous chapter) so sweet! Kiera really gets Forrest!

This was such a lovely read and a great way to introduce young readers to new and exciting genres. I liked that the book was also introducing chapters to children and would encourage them to read a chapter a night before bed maybe. The story was easy to follow with delightful characters that will definitely be great for children to begin those first connections with. This reminds me of the books that I enjoyed when I was younger. With the mystery surrounding the missing mail to will certainly get children thinking about the outcome of the story. A wonderful read and one that young readers are sure to enjoy!

I was drawn into this book straight away when the action really does kick off as soon as it starts. I really enjoyed the book overall and thought that it was a great introduction to this new author! Her writing style was great, really engaging, easy to read and the characters were brilliant. I liked Joy I thought that she was a sweet, kind and relatable person. All (well majority) of the characters in the story were really sweet and relatable. I loved the setting and time period for the story – historical romance is my favourite genre so to find this book was great and added in is that bit of Christmas magic and it was a perfect book for me! I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future.

Creeden – Review by Katie Matthews
I absolutely loved this journal! It was so accessible and just an absolutely joy to have as part of my wellbeing. I love journaling – over the past 12 months especially I have found that using something like this has enabled me to work through problems and come out the other side. The prompts in the book make you stop and think about your life and also when you are feeling like you are in a better place it’s so good to be able to look back and see how far you have come. I loved being able to fill in the beautifully illustrated pages. I loved the positive affirmations, they are so important to remind yourself of something positive everyday even when you feel like everything is negative around you. For anyone who find it easier to write out feeling than talk about this then I would 100% recommend Finding Your Heart – it would make a fantastic part of your metal wellbeing journey!
