This is the third book in the War of Destiny series, the previous books should be read before this one.
Once again, the author has created great characters and scenery that you feel you’ve stepped into their world. This book is darker that the other two, exploring some darker elements, and the emotions behind it can be felt so clearly as you read.
More danger arises, as well as the consequences of the last book make for an extremely emotional and perilous experience for Julia as she seeks to take steps to make things right. I really felt more Julia in this book, more so than the others as you can feel the guilt and exclusion so clearly. She remains strong as she makes her journey and I admire the strength she displays.
So glad I was able to jump straight into the next book as I currently cannot get enough of this world.

WOW. I absolutely loved this book! It’s a magnificent start to the War of Destiny series, and I am definitely putting this author on my watch list. Their writing style is addictive, and I couldn’t get enough. Be sure to check the trigger warnings that the author so thoughtfully provided so you aren’t caught by surprise. Julia has been through so much in her life and is faced with a decision that she knows will change everything. You’ll never be able to guess what happens next as this emotional rollercoaster takes you for a ride! I highly recommend picking this up if you enjoy a good vampire fantasy read.

I LOVE a good sports romance novel so when I saw this one I just knew that I had to read this book! I have read other books by this author and I have enjoyed reading them so I had to read this one too! I was ENTRANCED with this book. It gripped my attention and I was unable to think of anything OTHER than this book! I found myself wanting to read it while I was on my breaks at work wanting to know what was happening. This series is fast becoming one of my favorites and I cannot wait to read more by this author!!

Wow the first thing that captured my interest with this book was the caption. I started reading this book and I could not put it down! The way that this author wrote the stories between these two was amazing. I felt like I was in the story with them! This is a book that I will be rereading over and over again. I cannot wait for more books in this series and to read more books by this author!

This is the second book in the War of Destiny series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just as with the first book, the world build and character creation were done very well and you can almost feel yourself step into the book. You will need to read the first book to understand what is happening.
This book jumps ahead a little (70 years) and new trouble arises, danger around every corner. This will keep you as gripped as the first book as you want to find out what happens next and how they will escape the current danger.
While the first book is the better of the two, this is still a great read, I don’t regret it.

This book was much better than I imagined it would be. I absolutely loved the plot, it was historical whilst also being paranormal – 2 of my favourite genres rolled into one!
The characters were well-written, especially Julia. It starts so young with Julia being 15 when we begin to experience her struggles and grief with her as the story progresses. But we also get to see her strength and the start of her development.
The story is unique, and the plot is put together well. The author’s written was easy to follow and I moved straight onto the next book as I couldn’t wait to continue Julia’s story.

This is a great introduction into the Bound by Blood series, I’m certainly hooked!
To start with, the author has a way of writing that flows so smoothly and captures the depth of emotion the characters have, so that you feel it as your own. They paint a vivid picture that you feel you could easily step into and live the ‘adventure’ alongside the characters.
The characters were written incredibly well. Salvatore and Serafina both have pasts and how they became who they are and how they respond to things is very well reflected in the book. I was rooting for them from start to finish, they captivated me, and I grew emotionally attached – definite book hangover because of them!
The twists and turns had me guessing (and not always correctly which I loved), I couldn’t put this book down. It had everything I wanted, strong characters, suspense, secrets, romance and more! I’m sad this book is over but I’m excited for the next!

A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo is my favorite kind of second-chance romance. It pulled at my emotions but was a lot of fun with just the right amount of spice. Plus, it takes place around a winery, what wasn’t there to love????
This book had me hooked within just the first few pages. The author gave me a good, quick background on Laurent, and then boom, Phoebe entered the scene! She definitely made an impression. Even though she has been gone from his life for many years, she is still the one that got away, breaking his heart in the process.
Laurent and Phoebe were best friends at one time with the possibility of being so much more. One night the lines blurred, and she walked out the next morning taking his heart with her. Now, she needs him desperately, and she re-enters his life wanting him to keep his promise…marry her. They made a pact almost twenty years ago that if they weren’t married, they would marry each other. Laurent could never turn his back on her, and he doesn’t plan on doing that now. However, he also has to protect his heart. When he agrees to help her out, he makes one condition, she can’t fall in love with him. She thinks she can do that….right…she has had feelings for him to begin with, she just ran from them. Now, she might not be able to outrun them.
I was not prepared for the twists and turns in this book, not just the main characters, but the secondary characters. I love reading a book that has a few sub-plot points occurring simultaneously. Sometimes that doesn’t work, but it really did in this one. I adored all of Laurent’s siblings, and I even came to like Phoebe’s half-sister, Parker. I enjoyed the way in which Paolo brought both their past and their future together.
Theresa Paolo is a new author for me, but this book will definitely not be my last. I’m looking forward to other books in this particular series and discovering her others as well.

This book is the third book in a series. It absolutely can be read as a stand alone. This book focuses on additional characters in Buckeye Falls. I have read the other books and loved them. This one was enjoyable but focused a lot more on the sexual tension and interaction between Anthony and Natalie. Anthony and Natalie have almost a fairytale marriage. They couldn’t possibly be struggling – or could they? I did really enjoy the realness of their struggles. They have busy lives with their jobs and their kids. They haven’t had time for each other, and it is wearing on them and their marriage. Ultimately this story is about them finding their way back to each other and rekindling their marriage. I love this world and the characters and will continue to read about them. While maybe more steamy than the first two books, it was still great!

Grand Slam is book 3 in the series and this series just keeps getting better and better. I love these characters and want to be friends with them. Haha This book is focused on Heath and his love interest. Back when they did the bachelor auction he met a thorn in his side names Grace who ran the animal shelters they were raising money for. She seemed very bossy and tested Heath like a child. They both seemed to Dislike eachother a great deal. Why can’t either of them get the other out of their mind? They see eachother again at the hospital when Hannah has her baby. Grace and Heath end up sleeping at Hannah’s house for the night until Grace leaves first thing in the morning trying to put space between her and Heath before something could happen. To bad for Grace, Heath doesn’t give up Easily. This was such a great read and cannot wait to see what else this author has to share with us.

This was such a delightfully refreshing children’s book that encourages readers to consider the importance of self-care. I feel like it’s such an amazing topic to start teaching kids at a young age because it’s typically not brought into the picture until you’re older and very stressed out. Helping Hudson is a magnificent jumpstart to the conversation and there’s a good chance that adults would benefit from reading this as well. I love that the author shows helping others is great, but helping yourself must remain in your focus as well. This was cute and my kiddos absolutely loved it. I’m grateful for this author and can’t wait to pick up more from them!
This author struck gold with this series. The first few books were great and add this prequel in and now I’m dying for the next book. This is mainly about Aspen ( the new girl to town ) and Phoenix. She doesn’t know him or his reputation and he doesn’t know her as they go to different schools. They literally run into eachother one day and neither can get the other out of their mind. A few days later they see eachother again and this time they get to know eachother a bit. When their time is over He walks away without looking back. They both are going to Thane so they will see eachother around campus. What will happen when Aspen lets him in on what she finds out. Aside from the chemistry between these two. Phoenix just might be a genius for what he manages to pull off with Shane. Cannot wait to see what happens there. Amazing addition to a great series and impatiently waiting for Cruel Hate!
This is the second book in the Rock Star series and is 247 pages in length. This story follows Maria, a wealthy divorcee, and Oz, the hot guitarist. Maria heads out to be with her sister. But her sister is in out of state planning a wedding. Oz happens to be watching over the house and allows Maria to stay there. Maria has to be at the wedding and Oz kindly offers to go with her. From here, things start to get complicated!

I was drawn in by the cover and by the time I read the synopsis I was sold. Twisted Eros is the first book in the Modern Mythica series, and it is a steamy start! I love that it is a bit darker with twists and turns. I didn’t want to put this down at all, so I read it in a single day! Kay is such a strong female character and seems to have everything she could want in her professional life. While we all know that vacations are absolutely necessary, her sisters book an extra special month-long vacation for her. Will this vacation with a smoking hot stranger show her a side of her she never knew existed, or will she just end up longing to get back to her successful career? I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the second book! I highly recommend giving this book a read especially if you love spicy romances.

Salvatore grew up poor, orphaned and learned at a young age he wanted revenge. He took his time learning the De Luca ways. Although ignored by his mafia family as the bastard son he watched and planned his revenge for losing his Mother. He blamed Alessandro Giordano and seeing Serafina, the oldest daughter to Alessandro, he plotted his revenge which will include taking Serafina as his bride. What he didn’t plan for is to fall for her.
This was absolutely riveting. I was captivated by Salvatore, he is solely focused on revenge and Serafina once she accepts her role even though she is not happy with it falls for Salvatore. There is so much that unfolds during the story that you wont be able to put this one down. I am anxious to read the next book.

Twisted Oath is Book One in the Bound by Blood Series. It is a fast paced, dark romance story that centers around the characters of Serafina and Salvatore. This story is beautifully crafted, with fantastic characters, and will pull you into the twisted worlds of Salvatore and Serafina as they are drawn together while simultaneously being torn apart. Serafina is the head of a powerful family in Italy and dreams of escaping but feels misunderstood by everyone except one man. That man is Salvatore whose sole mission in life has been to seek revenge on those that wronged him. Salvatore had to learn to be strong to survive after being orphaned at the age of four years old. He vowed that one day he would take his rightful place and claim his birthright. The chemistry and attraction between Salvatore and Serafina is undeniable but for Salvatore revenge must come first. He has sworn to take vengeance to gain what is rightfully his as head of the family. Serafina finds solace in Salvatore but must push aside her dreams and do whatever it takes to protect her family. The relationship between the two is intense and explosive as it progresses through the story. A great read full of love, hate, vengeance, justice, passion, angst, drama, chemistry, suspense, romance, and intense emotions.

This author was new to me, but I am sure glad I picked up this book. It is a very sweet, second chance romance story that will pull at your heartstrings and bring tears to your eyes. It has drama, deep friendships, highly charged emotions and some seriously whitty humor. Lovers of Romance, YA, Adult Romance and sports romance will adore this book! A super fun 4 out of 5 stars for me!

Grand Slam is Book Three of The Ground Rules Series. It is a sports romance story that can be read as a standalone, or as a part of the series. I highly recommend reading the entire series because this author has a fantastic writing style that will draw you into her stories and make you want to read more. This story centers around the characters of Grace and Heath.
Grace is working her dream job at the local animal shelter which she loves but it barely pays the bills. When she first meets Heath, it is during an event that she planned for the animal shelter, and she instantly dislikes him. She found him difficult to deal with as well as cocky. Heath is a professional baseball player who makes a lot of money and that also rubs Grace the wrong way. Months later Heath’s sister is having a baby and when he arrives at the hospital he is surprised to run into Grace. A woman he found bossy, rude, and who treated him like a child incapable of doing the simplest task while he was trying to help with the animal shelter event months earlier. Grace and his sister have become friends since the event which Heath was unaware of. Although Heath found Grace bossy and rude, he has not been able to stop thinking about her. Grace finds herself attracted to Heath as well but neither want to admit to their attraction to the other. Is there a chance of love and romance between them?
This was another phenomenal story by this talented author. Her writing style immerses you into the lives of the characters who you instantly feel a connection to. It was interesting to read Heath and Grace’s story and watch them evolve and grow as characters. The initial attraction between them slowly grows into more and you find yourself rooting for them to be together. Heath is a good-looking, professional ball player that makes a lot of money, but the fame and fortune have not gone to his head. He is down-to-earth, looking for the right girl and is not into playing the field anymore. Grace is smart, feisty, hard-working, and determined. She loves her job at the animal shelter and puts her heart and soul into her job. Although the two come from different worlds the attraction between them is undeniable. This book has love, romance, attraction, passion, humor, angst, and a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

A heartwarming contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Annie Miller moves to Marietta to set up a B&B in the picturesque Bramble Lane, following the death of her parents. Having her brother and sister near by helps Annie to heal and also to forget her ex fiancé, who left her just weeks before their wedding. Meanwhile, workaholic marketing whiz Craig O’Sullivan from Portland is on a two week vacation in Marietta to see his cousin get married. When his Aunt Janice asks him to help Annie market her B&B he didn’t expect to fall in love! However, with Craig living and working in Portland and Annie’s life being in Marietta, the couple have to decide whether their developing relationship is forever or not. The chemistry between Annie and Craig comes across in the narrative and I felt engaged with the likeable and relatable couple, hoping they would get their HEA. The setting was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and the storyline had me hooked throughout. I look forward to returning to Marietta soon!

Shalom Israel is a guided tour through the land of Israel and its culture. The author immerses the reader into the landscapes, culture, history, and beauty of Israel through poetry and colorful illustrations. As a photographer myself I must note that the photographer did an amazing job of capturing the history, beauty, customs, and culture of Israel through his photographs. I loved the colorful photos that capture the very essence of Israel and thought the cute little cartoon characters were a nice touch that added a sense of whimsy and fun. This book takes the reader on a journey from lush forest to deserts, beaches, The Dead Sea, graffiti, the food, and everything in between. The glossary at the end of the book with information on the words used and fun facts was a nice added touch. Although it is a children’s book, I feel that it would be a good read for anyone of any age that wants to know about Israel.

This book is the fifth book of the ‘War of Destiny’ series. Julia is still struggling with control of her powers of speaking to the dead. For years she thought she was crazy, now that they are catching on that her past actions have to do with her powers, they are trying to teach her more control while getting ready to convince the council that Julia is sane and remorseful of the past.
Julia has no faith in herself but knows that she will have to step up for the sake of her ka-tet. When it came time to convince the others of her powers, she called upon Valerie in hopes that what is said is convincing enough. On top of that, she has a vision that Jonathan is planning to ambush a group. Julia acts quick and makes a plan to change the outcome of the vision. Unfortunately, some believe it was a vision while others believe she is still attached to Valentino and that’s how she knew about them being there.
It’s hard enough to work together when there is so much distrust let alone the possibility of Valentino coming back into the picture.
Although this isn’t my favorite of the series, it was still a great read. The rollercoaster of emotions I have had for Julia throughout the series is crazy. I liked her, then loved her, then hated her and now I am back to liking her. The author did a great job writing the redemption of the ka-tet.

This was such a great read and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I haven’t read the first book in the series and I would definitely like to read that one also. I like sports romance reads but never read a golf themed book before and I really was enjoyable. I liked Christy she was a lovely person and Ryan wasn’t quite was I was expecting either! They did seem to have a genuine attraction and chemistry. There were some great characters in the book and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Another lovely read from this author and her lovely community at Buckeye Falls. What I love about this series is the couple featured all seem real and have relatable problems. I enjoyed Anthony and Natalie’s story and it does go to show that sometimes people can seem really happy on the outside but inside things aren’t always that great. I feel like these characters were really honest and genuine people who had just lost their way a bit. I loved seeing them find their way back to each other with a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls!

Ok so Brutal Nights was everything I hoped it would be and more! Talk about angst in this book, it had it in bucket loads! I was fortunate enough that I didn’t have to wait after that cliff-hanger of the previous book and it was straight back into the action in Brutal Nights. I really did feel for Sky, she definitely found herself caught up in the middle of something she really didn’t want to be in and all because she is such good friend and wanted to help Gia out on her quest for her senior year and unfortunately chemistry got in the way and thing didn’t go quite as planned! This book was so easy to read and I honestly could not put it down, I was completely caught up in Sky and Damon’s story. Brutal Days should be read prior to reading Brutal Nights – both stories were amazing read and I would highly recommend.

Brutal Days was a fantastic story. I was hooked from the very first page until the last. The authors writing was really engaging and the characters were well thought out and brilliant to read about. Sky was a fantastic character – I really liked her and Damon well he’s one of those characters you should really hate but you have to love! The chemistry between the two of them was HOT!! I loved that Sky wasn’t intimidated by Damon at all, she was perfectly capable of holding her own! That cliff-hanger though …… I was so pleased I had the next book to dive straight in to – I’m not sure I could have waited!! An amazing book and well worthy of the 5 stars I give it! Highly recommended to other readers!

Craig and Annie, two different people, with completely different lifestyles on different paths, but they have one thing in common, neither of them ever want to get married. This is a story of what happens when those two paths merge. What happens when opposites attract? Annie wants to start anew and opens a bed and breakfast in a new town, but how will she get the customers to keep them afloat. Craig is all business, all the time, and he knows the ins and outs of marketing. When he comes to Marietta for a wedding, these two paths merge as they lean on each other for more than just business. Was it fate? Will these two different people fit together? Will they have a change of heart when it comes to marriage? Read it and find out. This was a very enjoyable book. It is one that you just fall into and feel like you are a part of it all. Like the characters are your friends and you are with them through it all. I definitely recommend this book. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because I am very stingy with 5 stars and save them for very few books that are all time favorites.

I’m not sure if I’m just having a hormonal day or if this book has caused all my tears from happy to sad to so very happy. This book was written amazingly giving you the right amount of everything. Love, sex, tragedy, all the feelings, the best help, companionship it really has everything even some action. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who may need that sappy love story with plot.

Hudson is always helping everyone else until one day he doesn’t want to do anything. Follow along as Hudson learns that to help others, you have to help yourself.
This is such an adorable book about taking care of yourself. It’s great for those littles in your life that are all about helping others and helping them not to burn out too quickly. I’d definitely set it up with some great, creative self care ideas for a small lesson about the topic.
Looking forward to using it to teach my littles about taking care of themselves!

This is the 5th book in the War of Destiny series. This is a great paranormal adventure. I do highly recommend reading these book in order so that you can fully understand everything that has happened to our characters and how they have developed. The author’s character and world building really brings the story to life. This is a series which is full of intrigue, danger, and twists and turns that keep the reader guessing and wanting more

The second book in the series, I thought this was a great follow up to the first book and can be read as a standalone. I thought this book was even more entertaining than the first. The connection between the characters was just as strong as those in the first but I found these ones to be funnier. I enjoyed watching their relationship build as the story went on. I am very much enjoying this series so far and I really hope that it carries on the way it is. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and will be checking out some of other books by this author too.
