In this installment of Eee-ahh and Shirl’s adventures, Eee-agh follows Shirl to school to hear stories. They have a good time and learn about Eee-aah’s home and constellations. Constellations have many different names. As always it’s a fun, informative book with great illustrations.

Violet has signed her first client to her brand new security business. Everything looks to be going in the right direction for her except one downfall there are protesters coming and she knows one. This story, like all Susan Specht Oram stories, is full of twists and turns that you don’t see coming. A great addition to the Millersville Series. Small towns, big problems.
This book combines romance and suspense. It follows the story of a young woman who gets caught up in a dangerous world of Russian mafia and royal intrigue. The book explores themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of navigating dangerous relationships. Lev and Daphne are essentially enemies to lovers – and honestly, those are the best stories! These two are total opposites. You know what they say about opposites attract!

Holy mackerel! This story is an emotional rollercoaster that I will ride over and over. Jordan and Lex’s story is a rough one. They both have some baggage to deal with. This is a story with drama, definite angst, overcoming addiction and relationship issues. Those are hard issues to deal with but the author did a wonderful job of making a realistic story of how a pair battles these issues. This is a story that really touches the heart and home. The characters are easy to relate to. A definite must read.

I was so excited to start this book, Dead Keen is book 2 in the Things Unseen series, because I really enjoyed book 1. Neve and Con got into even more shenanigans in book 2. In the process of helping Ciara, cons younger brothers wife, with her mental illness and phantom pain that stems from her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Max. Neve ends up stowing away in Cons car when he tries to question Max, which makes him look incredibly guilty, they end up being left to die in a cave, and are arrested, and taken to jail. I also really enjoyed the sweet, wholesome relationship that is still developing between Neve and Con. They care about each other so much but have fun with each other and the snark level was adorable. I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoys a good thriller with some romance undercurrent to give this novel a try. They don’t have to be read in order to understand the plot but it would help with understanding the characters, their motivations, and relationships. I loved it.

Bridget is on her honeymoon but without the groom, finding that her fiancée was having an affair with his secretary will somewhat put a blip in the plans. So arming herself with her best friend and deciding not to waste the trip she finds herself in Lovolia. When Daphne starts pushing her to forget the idiot she was going to marry and have a holiday fling, but when Daphne comments get too close for comfort off storms Bridget with a bottle of tequila.
While wondering Bridget finds herself on a small beach with no crowds accept a lone man surfing in the sea, when all of a sudden she is starring at the most handsome man she has seen in ages and when he approaches her demanding she leaves the private beach something happens between them that makes it impossible to move. Until advances are made and tequila regrets maybe on the cards.
Fyn has pressures most people could not conceive, the next in the line for King all he wants is to live his life the way he wants to live it, but when the King and Queen are pressuring him to marry Princess Abigail who he does not even like it all becomes too much. Fyn does what he loves to unwind and goes surfing at the private beach until he is rudely interrupted by a trespasser. As Fyn gets to know her better the chemistry between the two of them is off the charts but just as he has found her she vanishes and he is lost.
Over the year of searching for her she shows up back in his life and he is not letting her escape again, but with the unrest in his country can he keep hold of the woman he loves and help save the country he loves from the rebels out to destroy the monarchy?
I have read a lot of Gwyn’s books and they all offer strong female leads and this one does not disappoint, although at the beginning Bridget is lost and seems grown down by the end of the story she is determined to fight for her man even if it upsets the Queen/Fyn’s mother. Fyn’s character has different dimensions and with his strong relationship to his best friend Lev shows another layer to this complicated character.
The story flows and is well written, with twists and turns throughout the story will have you engaged until the end. As this is the first book in the series it sets up the world of Lovolia brilliantly and has you wanting to visit to see the various sites that is described within the pages.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series regarding Lev and Daphne as this seems a fiery relationship in this book.

A great read!! This is a sequel, but can be read as a standalone. The author has an engaging writing style that draws the reader in and the storyline is captivating. We join Neve and her boyfriend, Con, on a trip to help Cons brother and his fiancé with a medical mystery, but it soon unravels into much more!
The author develops plot and characters well and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. The author gives us everything in this story and keeps you guessing throughout. This is a well written, engrossing psychological thriller!

I enjoyed this book. This a fast-paced thriller. Nothing like having to choose between your business or your mom. I was enthralled with how well the author put together the story. The details, the characters, they are so well written that I found myself not wanting to put it down. This a suspense novel that will definitely have you on the edge of your seat. This author did a terrific job with writing a mother/daughter suspense.
What a read! This book is a romantic comedy but it’s got its fair share of twists.
What to say about this book. I don’t even want to say too much because this is just a book you have to experience. It’s got relatable characters, humor, and twists you don’t expect. I couldn’t put it down. I HAD to find out how everything was going to play out. I highly recommend giving this book a read!
This book is book 5 of the series. This is the first part of Phoenix and Aspen’s duet but Cruel Start should be read before this one. I have loved every minute of this series and this book is no different.
Phoenix and Aspen can’t seem to communicate without fighting. Which is pretty inconvenient when they are experiencing something they need to communicate about. I’m not going to say much about what happens in this book because I don’t want to give anything away but seriously, read it!
It is so well written. The characters are great, even though their behavior sucks sometimes. I was hooked from the beginning and can’t get enough of this series. There is so much angst and feeling you get sucked into the world! I highly recommend!

A personal first for me by Scott Warren, this book is a TERRIFIC read!! It immediately sucked me in… and then I turned the page and it said chapter 1. I kid you not, I was instantly hooked and was ready to know what was going to happen by the end of the prologue. The entire time I read this I got Lord of the Rings meets Deadpool type vibes. The main character, Marluck, reminds me of Deadpool in his personality. This is an awesome adventure and the character development throughout is fantastic. I will be looking for more Scott Warren books in the very near future!

If Hallmark made raunchy movies, this would be it. Small town girls meets her Prince after a horrible breakup while she goes on her pre-purchased honeymoon. Sprinkle in civil unrest and an evil princess, you have the classic romance novel. I wish we got a little more backstory with each character. Even though they felt an instant connection, I didn’t feel that with our two main characters. I did however, feel the instance hated if Fyn’s parents and abigail towards Bridgette. The descriptions of their encounters were spot on. Ultimately, this This was a quick entertaining read that you will not want to put down.

Royally Complicated: (A Stand-alone Royal Forbidden Romance) (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1)
So very thankful for long weekends, if today had been a work day I might have called in sick so I could finish devouring this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and only put it down long enough to make supper and eat.
Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s writing styles blend perfectly in this book. I have read several of their books individually and one other collaboration and have not been disappointed one.
I love trying to figure out what’s going to happen next but they were able to surprise me a few times.
Fyn and Bridget work so well together and even with all that they have to deal with, they find their way.
I already have the next book loaded on my Kindle to read and I can’t wait.

This was an amazing read. The development of the plot and the characters was wonderful. Gwyn does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged.
This book follows the stories of Bridgets and Fyn. Bridget just wanted to get away from the reality of what happened back home with her ex. her best friend talks her into going on a girls’ trip to help her forget him and move on.
Fyn is tired of his parents meddling in his life and telling him what he can and cannot do all of the time. He just wanted a few hours of solace alone in his favorite place on the island. His own beach where he can enjoy a stress-free ride on the waves.
When Bridget gets fed up with her friend she wanders off with an old friend, a bottle of tequila. She finds her way to a beach that seems to be empty. When she notices a handsome man off in the distance riding the waves. Once he finally, emerges she is entranced by his features. One thing leads to another and they are getting very close and personal. Unfortunately, their intimate moment gets interrupted by the royal guard.
What happens when a commoner sleeps with the crowned prince? Can they be together or is this just a fling? Will the royal family approve of a woman with no noble blood? What happens when two souls are ripped apart?
Read this book to find out what happens with Fyn and Bridget. I also suggest some water because the steam in this book is sure to heat your blood.

A Rainbow Like You by Andrèa Fehsenfeld was such a great story. This is the first I’ve heard of this author and believe me, if they always write like this then sign me up for it all. The characters, the story line, the emotion… truly I have nothing I would change. I appreciate each of the characters and their growth. The book is really big on that, and the friendship between Adrian “Jazzer” and Hastings was beautiful. After coming back from a year long hiatus, Adrian has realized it’s not going to be an easy comeback, he cannot write, his band is falling apart and he’s just found someone has been hiding on the bus, and that’s the last thing he needs. But turns out it’s exactly what he needs at after all. The pair push each other and help one another on their journey through friendship. There are some twists and a lot of heated arguments but lord I can’t with what happened. You’ll have to read it for yourself!!

As in previous books, Marie Deblassie takes a wonderfully informative approach to magic and it’s power by introducing it in such a relaxed way. As someone who thinks that, if I’m learning about new things, I must know EVERYTHING or else I know nothing, her approach makes learning about spirituality and all it entails much more within reach.
It’s beautiful to be led through how magic is within the world around us, and having the extra knowledge makes it both more accessible and more every day while also really teaching you and leading you through your own journey of discovery. I will continue to follow this author and continue to appreciate and participate in the magic of the world each day. If you have any interest in spirituality and what the signs all mean, do yourself a favor and enjoy the prose and beauty of Marie DeBlassie while increasing your knowledge!

I have followed this author through many stories and am pleased to find that this book is just as wonderful as the others I have read! Bridget is going through it right now. Her fiancé cheated, and now she’s on “their” honeymoon because who wouldn’t want to get away after an earth-shattering revelation like that? She finds a surfer, Fyn, who turns out to be a prince. Could this turn into a real-life fairytale, or is this just a simple rebound? I really enjoyed the flow of this story as I was sucked into this reality before I realized it. I sat down to read a couple chapters and looked up to find it was hours later! This has romance, drama, steamy scenes, and plenty of other emotions, so go ahead and pick it up to get lost for the day.

Eve is a journalism student who chooses to write an article about a woman who went missing twenty years ago. The only clue to the woman’s disappearance was a bloody scarf that was left behind. Eve decides to delve into the case acting as an amateur sleuth to solve the cold case. Eve has an ability that few others prior to her had which give her a bit of an upper hand in solving the case. As an empath she has unique abilities that allow her to notice minute details that others might overlook. Eve can also feel and sense the moods of others which allows her to tune into their mindset. An added bonus is that as an empath people feel more comfortable with Eve and will openly confide in her.
This was a wonderfully written book with an intriguing storyline and relatable characters. I adored the character of Eve and felt a connection with her. She was smart, feisty, determined, and courageous. I loved that the author chose to write Eve as an empath because I have not yet read about a character with that ability. Empaths have unique gifts and abilities that often get overlooked. They can pick up on energy, moods, and feelings of those around them. Empaths can often sense when someone is lying and picking up on negative energy. Empaths are those that others generally feel comfortable around enough to open up and discuss things that they generally would not divulge to anyone else. How do I know this? I know from personal experience because I discovered a few years ago that I am an empath. Random strangers have come up to me at bus stops and at my workplace and told me things that they have never told another person. These individuals were surprised afterwards that they told me what they had. I can sense other people’s moods and pickup on their energy. Negative energy is emotionally draining so it is important to be surrounded by happy, positive individuals. A huge shoutout to the author for giving the character of Eve the unique ability of empath. This book had action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and a few twists and turns that kept me reading until the end. I anxiously await the next book in this amazing series!

We return with Tamaska and Kodiak…the Blood opal is missing and Tamaskas world has been absolutely rocked to the core. The passion builds between these two as they begrudgingly work together unable to deny the connection between them and the heat that fires so quickly into an inferno.
Tamaska continues to be stubborn and there are many unanswered questions about why she’s starting to feel a little less human and a little more….what exactly.
Can Kodiak protect his pack while dealing with his Alpha who doesn’t want him anywhere near Tamaska and protect Tamaska from the Vampires who want her… blood… or is it more than that Good read!

I have read quite a few books by this author, and none of them disappoint! This one is slightly different as it is non-fiction, but I still absolutely loved every bit of it. I enjoy her point of view on magic, the Tarot, and spirituality in general. It’s no coincidence why I’ve picked up so many of her books! She writes a poem with each card she draws and really leans into how you should reflect on yourself and your situation in order to best receive answers. Instant knowledge or persistent questions will not lead you down the path you’d like with the Tarot. This author will not be losing me as a fan anytime soon, and I urge you to give any one of her books a chance. If you find yourself drawn to Tarot, spirituality, or magic, this one is definitely for you. Even if that doesn’t seem like your genre, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed this story….the boys are back!! Jon and Frank Reed are on another journey while attending a school for the Perceptually Gifted …this time Zodiac Games are on the horizon. While trying to hone in on their gifts and learning how to use them, Jon and Frank also want to participate in the Zodiac Games and bring home a win for their house. When strange things happen….there are so many questions….this shadowy figure is causing some problem….Jon is seeing this questionable figure and feels like he cannot tell anyone to help while having issues sleeping as well…and sickness is hitting the students, will Jon and Frank be able to figure out what is happening with this and also what is going on with this shadowy figure that Jon can see that haunts him…
This book was a fun read full of gifts, mystery, adventure and magic. I highly recommend reading book 1 as you get to know the characters and continue into this story.
