Holding Up The Sky (Giants and Monsters) by Lois Wickstrom 4 Stars
This is a cute, imaginative story about Colleen and her dad. Most little girls think their daddys can do anything. Colleen’s dad can. He’s a giant and he holds up the sky. Problem is , no one believes her. Colleen tries to think of a way to show everyone what he can do. When he lets go, things start happening. Read the book and find out what happens. The story is fun to read and has colourful pictures to enthral the children. I love reading this author’s books.

This was a really good kid’s book. This is a picture book that I think was super cute, it has Hudson helping doing things for others and doing chores around the house. But one day he started to feel overwhelmed, and I would even say stressed. So as the family sees what’s happening the story teaches Hudson that he needs to also take care of himself with doing self-care which is important for himself. This book was well written and a very learning experience for children to care of themselves. The pictures were well drawn and illustrated to the book; it really painted the picture of what was happening. We could all use some self-care and that its ok for others to help us too not just a one way.

This is the third instalment of the Central Florida Stories series, focusing on Ethan and Siena. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but I advise reading from book one.
As with the previous two books, the author has managed to enhance the reading experience with descriptive language and a smooth writing style. The characters are well-written, and you can’t help but get invested in them. Both Ethan and Siena show great growth and development as the story progresses from the difficulties of their pasts to their current predicaments.
This was another enjoyable read from the author and now I’ve come to the end I’ll be exploring other series by them.

Overall it is a good story. The abduction had me a bit confused but it worked out in the next few pages. The story of Kay and Eros is an erotic BDSM story. The story is very much twisted and full of turns. Worth the read if you are into tales like this.

I’ve read the first two books in the Ground Rule series and this third one is just as good as the other two. All can be read as a stand alone but I do like knowing a bit of the back stories. Bree Kraemer does a wonderful job of helping you envision every moment in the book. Heath and Grace’s banter back and forth leading to the best decision. A wonderful read that will keep you engulfed for hours.

This is the series book in the Central Florida Stories series and focuses on Arely and Kurt. This series can be read as standalone but previous characters do reappear so I would recommend reading the first for a deeper understanding.
The authors descriptive writing style adds to the reading experience and the characters are well-written. Arely and Kurt show great character development as their story progresses, which I love. Their struggles and reactions feel real, and you can’t help but root for them.
The more I read from this author the more I want to devour, and this hasn’t been any different. On to the next exciting read.

This is the first book in the series and focuses on Joe and Hunter.
I enjoyed the descriptive writing from the author and the way in which this book was written, it added to the reading experience. However as much as I loved the plot, it was the characters that left a mark on me. I loved that we came to know them both over time, not everything was revealed right away. This I felt also led to great character development.
There were times I wasn’t sure what was coming next, there were certainly some twists and turns and I was hooked beginning to end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

An enjoyable and engaging sports romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Professional baseball player Heath Bailey has a good life, amazing friends and family, and his team just won the championship, but he wants someone to love. Well, not just someone but the women he can’t get off his mind, Grace, and so in an attempt to see her he decides to go to the animal shelter that she runs and get a dog. Having met the incredibly cocky and arrogant baseball player at an event for the animal shelter and disliked him, Grace Dyer is not that happy to see him again. However, after their second encounter she can’t seem to stop thinking about him, but coming from different worlds she doesn’t think that a relationship would work, but Heath has other ideas! A sweet and steamy romance between two characters who’s chemistry sizzled off the page.

This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories. I have read every book in the series and I have to say that I am disappointed to see it come to an end, as it is just absolutely amazing. One of my favorite parts of this series is the characters. The depth of the characters is incredible. The book is filled with fantastic dialogue that drives the storyline. This plot is definitely dark and full of twists and turns. However, it is the kind that sucks you in at the beginning and you just want to keep reading and ignore all of real life. In my opinion, those are the very best kind of stories. I definitely recommend this!

Holding up the Sky is part of the Giants and Monsters series by this superbly talented author. Colleen’s dad is a giant who walks around all day holding up the sky. The townsfolk think this is ridiculous and make fun of her dad to Colleen by telling her that her dad needs to get a job. Colleen’s feelings are hurt from being mocked all the time by the other kids as well as their parents, so she comes up with an idea for the kids to get to know her dad. The idea, however, involves her dad putting his hands down and once he does weird things start to happen. Was Colleen’s dad really holding up the sky? What will happen when he puts his hands down? This was a cute, entertaining, and funny story with beautiful, bright illustrations that really make the story come to life. As with all this author’s books the story contained messages for children to learn from. In this book children will learn about being kind, helpful, understanding, compassionate, and about not judging someone based on their appearance. A wonderful read that I highly recommend!

Melissa brings her story to life by sharing the beauty of Israel through her eyes. Discovering new lands and historical facts of a land that is as diverse as its characters. Shalom Israel is a wonderful tale, and the pictures bring the story to life and the clipart is bright and colourful. I love that Melissa brought something a little different to the norm of picture books. It is a book told through rhyme which sets the tone of the story. Children will love this guided tour and give them a look at a place not many will have heard of. Not only is it a great educational story but it is fun as you journey through this adventure.

Twisted Eros is Book One in the Modern Mythica series. It is an erotica romance full of raw, unbridled passion, explosive chemistry, lust, and role playing that will have you gasping to catch your breath. Kay runs her own business and has no time for fun, games, or relaxation. Her sisters decide that she needs time away and pretty much force a vacation on her. They feel that the best thing for Kay is to have an “abduction” experience where she can have fun and walk away afterwards with no-strings attached. Kay is reluctant but once “abducted” by Eros she finds herself relaxing, enjoying herself, and actually getting into the role of her alter ego, Pysche. Eros is more than her “abductor” and has sinister plans for Pysche/Kay that are being plotted out by Kay’s rival. What neither Kay nor Eros expect is to fall for each other during the kinky role-playing sessions. The result is a rollercoaster ride of love, lust, passion, angst, drama, betrayal, and revenge, as the two try to come to terms with their feelings and maneuver through the family drama. This book will leave your reading glasses fogging up as the steamy sex scenes build between Kay and Eros. The characters of Eros and Kay are wonderfully written, and you feel drawn to each for different reasons. Both have baggage they are carrying around and that is what draws them to one another. Eros has clearly had a rough childhood with a less than ideal role model in the form of his mother. A fantastic read from beginning to end!

Grand Slam is the third book in the Ground Rule sports series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but you should start at the beginning with Walk Off and work your way through. Bree’s storytelling and the ease in which she comes up with amazing stories and the journey into relationships. This book is well written and is fun and with humour and emotional and intense at times. The story flows nicely and making it a quick and easy read making it easy to become lost in the story. The stories will keep you on your toes to see how things go and by the time you have finished you won’t be disappointed. Bree writes complex characters that are relatable and know what they want. Each couple have their own trials and tribulations to work through to become one. The men in the series will make you all hot and sweaty and these sassy and smart women feel like friends. The story is steamy with yet at times emotional and intense. Grace has never met a man she disliked so much until she met him. Now it appears he is back in her life, and she sees another side to him. Not that it would ever work. Or would it? Heath has everything he has ever wanted but the one thing to make him complete. Now he is ready to move the bases and make his play. I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to see what Bree comes up with next.

All consuming. This is the first book I have read by Victoria Saccenti, and though it is the third book in the series I have never read the previous two but plan to go back and read them. Twisted Proposal is just that, twisted but not exactly in all the ways you would expect. Told from both Ethan and Siena’s perspectives it pulls back layer after layer of secrets and twists to keep you hungry for more information. Ethan was born into an empire of wealth but found his own interests and only stepped into his father’s role when asked. Siena, also born into money, had a hardship that took everything from her including her parents’ deaths. Now with a dream to start her own fashion design brand Siena seeks out investors. With some start up from her first cousin Joyce, later discovering it was stolen funds from her husband, Siena seeks the investment of The Big Seven. Ethan, the one person that has a deep-seated need for revenge on Joyce, ends up being the only one that can help her, but he has some terms of his own. With no choice and her brother going missing Siena accepts. Everything begins coming to light when Bart, Siena’s brother, goes missing and the mob comes looking for payment on his debts. Joyce, having cheated on Ethan when they were in their twenties, over ten years ago, feels that he is still hers. Under it all Ethan has been both determined to take out his revenge on Joyce by using Siena, and entranced with her in every way, from her beauty to her personality he can’t get enough of her. Will Ethan get his revenge or let it go? Can Siena succeed in getting her brand started and turning her family’s money issues around? Will the truth of Joyce and the depth of her schemes ever be brought to light? The characters the author creates keeps you guessing on what they will do next and how they will respond to the circumstances that keep piling up against them. Enemies to lovers has always been my favorite troupe and this book checked all the boxes. Twists. Erotic. Complex. It has it all. I look forward to going back and reading more from this author starting with the first two books in this series.

This is one of those tales intriguing dark tales that you will love. Twisted Eros is a little gritty, a bit kinky, a little bit sexy and an interesting retelling of the Greek mythology Eros god of love and Psyche goddess of the soul. When you have a workaholic, the boss, a vacation with a twist, a fantasy, and you have a woman who finds herself in the darkness of an unknown world of wants, desires and curiosity. It is a fun but twisted tale that is full of excitement, angst, drama and family and much more. Kate is a workaholic, but she has her arm twisted to try something different for the vacation she is talked into. Only the vacation is not entirely what she thought. These are complex characters and their relationships come with lots of baggage. If you like elements of stories told on the darker side and sexy then you need to get hold of Twisted Eros and jump right in.

This book is a brilliant and vibrant way to introduce children to Israel and what it has to offer. The author has done such a good job of creating a book that really makes it feel like you are experiencing it. My daughter has become so much more curious about things since starting school and this is the exact type of book that she loves to explore at the moment. It was educating yet fun and engaging, with the picture perfect for drawing you in. This book is great for readers of all ages and was a fantastic book to read.

5 Stars Sacrifice Bunt (Ground Rule Book 2) by Bree Kraemer
Sacrifice Bunt is the second book in the Ground Rule Series. This is a wonderfully written Sports Romance that once you start reading its hard to put down. I literally read this in one sitting as I had to know how things were going to end. These two have some serious chemistry between. This author is one of the reasons I love Sports Romance so much. Her attention to detail makes the story come off the pages along with creative, yet strong and fully developed characters. This is definitely my favorite of this series yet. This is a fast paced story that will have you turning the pages. Can these have more than one night? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens between Noah and Zara. Im super excited about the next book in this series and looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Although a short story, this book is action packed and exciting right from the word go. The author has created a story that really draws you in and throws you straight into the lives of these characters. If you have read the main series you already have an understanding of these characters and it was nice to get a glimpse of them all again. I thought the story was a little confusing at times. It could be quite hard to follow, especially for a short book. However, overall I enjoyed the story and wanted to see how things would play out. I would definitely say it is worth giving this book a try.

4 Stars House of Arsceneaux (Servants of Morrigan: Immortal Creatures) by Caterina Novelliere
House of Arsceneaux is part of the Servants of Morrigan: Immortal Creatures Series. This is a fast paced Paranormal Romance that is packed with secrets, lies, magic , vampires, time travel and so much more. Things aren’t always as they seem. This is a new author to me and I’m definitely going to be looking into what other books they have written. Their style of writing and attention to detail along with creative, yet strong developed characters make for a wonderful story. The characters bring the story to life and you feel as if you are right there with them. Can they have a happy ever after? Does destiny have something else in store for them? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Well I am in heaven. My favorite genre is Paranormal romance and this book really hit the spot. I love vampire romances and to add more supernatural beings into the mix has really made this a great book for me. I love how there is the lost love second chance vibe to this book I really could not put this book down. The author has a great way of bringing the characters to life. I really felt as though I was there in the thick of all the drama occurring around them. I really look forward to reading more from this author and series.

A Toast for Laurent is the first book in the Vine Valley series by Theresa Paolo. It is about small town second chance romance with twists, turns, friendships, romance and possible love. Of course, everyone knows that a love story needs some intrigue and drama…and Theresa Paolo didn’t disappoint in bringing that aspect into the story. We are introduced to Laurent and Phoebe, and the story takes us back to twenty years ago when they made a promise to marry each other if they were both still single when they reached forty. Unfortunately, Laurent finds himself heartbroken after a spicy night with Phoebe, and she disappears without a word! Even though Laurent is heartbroken, life goes on and he finds himself tending to the family grapevine and doesn’t think about love, then after all those years Phoebe is back! Phoebe has the intent on seeing her and Laurent’s pact through, but what does Laurent think of the plan, especially after the pain she caused. What happens next makes for a fun read that is hard to put down! I’m a sucker for a good book with love and drama! Theresa Paolo did a good job of making sure that you knew the backstory as well as what was currently going on, I didn’t feel like details were left out, she did a great job! This book is the first in a new series, so I will definitely be reading each new instalment as they release. Looking forward to A Thirst for Franc (Book #2). Happy Reading!

This is the third book that I’ve read by this author and she hasn’t disappointed me yet.
Mitch’s story stuch from me from the moment it started. This book was a hard one to put down, even long enough to grab a snack! It’s going to suck you in and keep it’s claws in you until the end…and maybe then some. This has a super suprise ending that I loved and I’m going to be disgesting this for awhile.
Mitch is an easy character to dislike. He’s incredibly narcissistic and his egotistical airs are stiffling to say the least. I didn’t really care for Emily though either. She should have been likeable to me but something about her didn’t set well with me. Normally I could say I had a favorite character but not in this book.
Prepare to just read this one straight through with no breaks. I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store!

I feel like I just took a mini tour of Israel by reading this book! The photography and the illustrations are very well done. It was neat to see some of the sites of Israel and to learn more about their significance.
This would be a great book to share with someone about to travel to Israel to give them a brief taste of what it will be like. It’s also great for someone like me who would like to travel but doesn’t.

Erik is Aphordite’s son, and her personal weapon to use when someone or something does not go according to her ideal. In a corporate world, if a woman wants to hold and keep her power, she must use the guns of information at her own discretion.
Kay inherited actions from her mothers company, just as her 2 sisters: Grace and Clio. Even when Kay is the younger of the trio she was responsible for making everything work, so that leaves her without a life of her own. Having to develop fully into the role of a CEO and director board Kay lacks the social basic skills to meet and keep a steady romantic partner.
Kay’s sisters saw this, decided to give her a month of a special treat of vacation, little does Kay know how her destiny is about to change.Twisted Eros (Modern Mythica Book 1) by Aria Skylar – Review by

The story follows Tessa, an impulsive author with commitment issues who meets Simon, a super-organised scientist who is eager to settle down. They’re both attracted to each other and decide to meet up every now and then in various places around the world until they inevitably fall for each other and each has to decide whether the other is worth giving up what they thought they always wanted. I liked this concept, but I didn’t get attached to the characters until halfway through the book. Neither of them seemed likeable at first, their relationship seemed awkward, it seemed to be purely about sex until the halfway point. At that point, you can see that they truly care for each other and are willing to sacrifice to make the relationship work. Of course, this is when everything changes. I was gripped when reading the second half, finding myself emotionally attached to the characters and not just Tessa and Simon, but Jacob, Riley, Liam, and Will, too. I recommend this book because whilst I didn’t get too attached to the romance aspect of this book – which is probably for personal reasons, and so a lot of readers will probably not agree with my opinion – the grief aspect had me in tears, and I could not put it down once I got to part two. I even cried through the acknowledgements. I also have to commend Anna’s ability to switch from past to present tense, and her portrayal of grief. I would love to read more about Riley and Jacob’s story. “Unfortunately, time is temporary. It passes. You have to live with what you have here and now. Contentment, acceptance—these things are hard to come by. But if you spend your life living in the past, you’ll never be able to truly appreciate the present.

Chester, just like every other kid, does not like or want to clean his room. Also like many children they have their imaginary friends. The mess makers, the one that hides things, the one that has yet to learn how to clean as they go. This story puts a fun twist on cleaning up. I have read many children’s stories from this author. She has taken a child job and made it fun. The story is to the point without leaving the child feeling bad or sad when it comes to cleaning up. She sets the mood and has a positive outcome. I love this story and it may have slipped on to my children’s story shelf.
Twisted Proposal is the wonderfully written story that centers around Sienna Maynard and Ethan Ashford. Ethan has been scorned by members of Sienna’s family. When Sienna and her brother Bart come to the Seven to get backing for her design company, Ethan wants to be sure to be in control. Sienna will not bow to Ethan’s “charms” but learns of his dark desires; while discovering her own. These characters draw you into their world of love, hate and deceit. Although this book is part of a series, I read it as a stand alone and was not disappointed.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a unique read to me. I haven’t read a book like this before. The author does an amazing job with the characters and their growth during the story. Erik and Kay both grow and evolve in different ways but in a beautiful way that brings them closer.
I don’t want to give to many details because I can’t want to spoil the story. It is a story about passion, learning to embrace the person you are. It is a dom/submissive relationship but what I loved is that its fluid and it is when Kay becomes the dominant force that really allows Erik to be free. There is so many twists and turns in this book that you wont see them coming and you will be constantly gripped. What happens when your abduction vacation turns into you falling for the kidnapper? What happens when the time you spent free and embracing your true sexual self ends up destroying everything you’ve worked for? What happens when you realise who the kidnapper is? And is there any chance of forgiveness for this couple.

This novella was both inspiring and defeating. With the actual history of this time period matching up with the brutality toward native people, it was heartbreaking to read about this warrior girl’s coming of age while the bluecoats close in on her village and the suffering of her people. But her resolve and immense strength in such dire circumstances was also inspiring and awe-striking. This is a hauntingly beautiful story that makes me want to read more about the people of this time. Looking forward to the next novella in this series!
