This is the first book in the War Brothers MC and what a great start to this series. Reaper is the President of the club. Ava is running from an abusive husband. The attraction between these two is instant and strong. Can the MC protect her from the man who hurt her? I love the characters in this story. I am on the edge of my seat waiting to read more about all the members and their stories.

Afflicted Love is the first book in the Rhythm & Heart series and it is a MM dark romance. This emotion filled book kept me intrigued but also kind of ping ponged back and forth with enough angst, i got whiplash. Other than that I thought it was a good but dark book that goes through the many hard emotions and pain that the main characters experience. I enjoyed this authors writing style and the story overall even if it ended in a massive cliffhanger that left me with a lot of questions but eager to read more. I would recommend this to someone that like a more angsty dark read! Looking forward to more by this author!
I absolutely love this series. It has everything you could want from a romance book. I read this book in no time just like the others in the series. It is quick to grab and hold your attention throughout the entire book. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.

This was a great start to a new series. I read this quickly as it had me completely engrossed. I really enjoyed the twists throughout, I wasn’t expecting that. It was also very easy to relate to the characters, especially Riley for me. I definitely recommend this author and I can’t wait to check out her other books.

This is a new series for me and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Reaper is the president of the MC club, he falls for her the moment he sees her for the first time but she’s married. Her husband is a bad guy, he is abusive and an Alcoholic. Ava ends up contacting her sister who is connected to the club and that is how she and reaper collide. This time he is determined to keep her and not let her go. Such a really good read, definitely going to read the next book.

4.5 stars Lap Baby is an original, unique, engrossing and refreshing read. Lap Baby was inspired by a segment of a TV show making the story that more intriguing not to mention I actually learnt something. I have not read any of Amy’s work before and I am glad I picked this book up. Amy carefully entwines the stories of three women who find themselves connected and experiencing love, pain, loss and forgiveness and the harsher realities of life. The characters are wonderfully developed that felt real, relatable, likable and easy to connect with. They may be surviving but they aren’t living, they are much stronger than they think. It is an emotional read that will tear at the heartstrings. Tissues may or may not be needed. But a good strong drink will be. I would highly recommend this book.
This was a good story! I enjoyed it, but as not as much as I really wanted to. The synopsis showed a lot of promise and I was very excited to read this. However, a lot of the names were hard to pronounce and it was difficult for me to keep everything together in my head. I think I had an off reading day, and just wasn’t in the mood for this particular story however. It was very interesting though, and I had a lot of different elements that I haven’t seen in a story before.

This story has come full circle from Wilf in the first book not wanting to be part of the magical to being immersed in his magical abilities to help save the girl he loves and the Magical Realm. This journey has strengthened his abilities and him as a whole. Now with the Magical Realm hanging in the balance of things, Wilf has to decision if expanding his abilities is the best risk to take. Besides picking this one to read because of the magical witch world, I was also interested in this YA read as my daughter is a big fan of fantasy stories and I know she will absolutely love this series! It is a great character building seeing a teen deeming to be who he wants to be and becoming who he is meant to be. Lyall has done such an amazing job with developing strong characters that are very relatable even with the magical aspect!

Chandler is an aerialist who is looking for the perfect student to mentor. Little did he realize that Cassandra was also looking for the perfect teacher. The lines get crossed in this story, they fall in love with one another. I didn’t really know what to think when I first started reading this story. This is the first book in this series of The Ties that Bind. I am not normally into romantic storylines. I feel like there too cheesy. However this story is nothing like that at least in my opinion. You can either read the book or listen to it. I normally read books but I am wondering if I would like the audio version as well. It’s your turn to try it now. Let me know if you prefer reading or listening.

Absolutely loved this second book. Wilf starts making the realization that going back to his normal soccer loving days may be over. After finding cure for Beauty Virus and now dealing with the effects of the corruption of the veil that protects witches and wizards from the outside world. In the midst of all these other things, his stepsister, Myra, who needs to be found for her crimes and disappears. As all of these challenges come about, Wilf is then accused of harming the veil and as their union becomes stronger with Katryna, evil lurks them and she gets kidnapped. Now Wilf is on a mission to save the Magical Realm and the one he truly cares for. Cannot wait for the next one!

Lyall – Review by Jennifer Ramos
Wilf appears to be a typical teenage boy living in Hong Kong whose fixation is devoted to playing soccer and making it big. He puts all his energy and focus on his sport rather than his realization of his magical family and his destiny of being a wizard. As he avoids this part of him, he doesn’t have full control of his magic, which his father is insistent on for him to start his training. Unfortunately reality comes to light with the sudden and unexpected loss of his father. Now with others coming to him for help, he may need to consider his future. The other unfortunate occurrence is that of a virus that is ridding witches of their abilities and replacing it with beauty. Now as he becomes close to one of the witches, Katryna, the virus affects her. Wilf does discover his father’s journal may hold the secret of undoing his horrible virus. Absolutely getting to know these characters and with the cliffhanger, I cannot wait to continue reading to see what happens next!

This was my first read by Bianca Lee Ward, but it is certainly not going to be the last. Reaper is the first installment of the War Brothers MC series, and it’s off to a great start! I really enjoyed the amount of action, chemistry and steam that comes with many MC stories. It starts off a little slow, but don’t toss it aside because it really picks up. Once you get a bit invested, you’ll breeze through it and want even more! I think the author did great on the flow of the story even though it starts off slow. It may just have been an off day for me, but it absolutely captivated me after a while, and now I can’t wait for the second book in the series. If you love the dangerous, steamy action of the MC genre, you will fall in love with this one!

I have been waiting for this book for quite some time, and I was so excited to pick it up that I devoured the entire thing in one sitting. Sorry not sorry to my real-life responsibilities! This entire series was just absolute perfection. I’m guilty of picking up series out of order, but you will definitely want to read the first two prior to picking this one up. If you don’t then you will be a little lost, and you won’t get the full experience either. We continue our magical and suspenseful journey with Wilf and Katryna with a great deal of twists and turns that caused me to read faster than I thought humanly possible. Wilf is trying to get to the bottom of harnessing the full potential of his magic but finds it’s not so easy with wizards and witches wreaking havoc in the Magical Realm. I thoroughly enjoyed the last installment of The Virus of Beauty series. The flow of the story was utterly wonderful, and I loved connecting with both Wilf and Katryna. It’s very apparent that C.B. Lyall dedicated so much time creating this beautiful world and relatable characters. I highly recommend picking up this entire series and getting lost in their reality!

Lyall – Review by Shannen Kern
A captivating MC romance which had me hooked from page one. Reaper is the president of the War Brothers Motorcycle Club, and when Ava, the one women he’s ever wanted, turns up at his clubhouse seeking refuge from her abusive husband he’s not going to let her go again. Reaper is angered by the bruises on Ava’s face but also by the fear in her eyes, however, as an ex special forces sniper he’s used to hunting down evil men. Reaper avoids relationships due to the wounds he has left over from his sniper days, which are more than skin deep, but when he finds Ava in his bedroom he’s determined not to make the same mistake twice. He let her go once before because she was married and so didn’t belong to him, but now she does. As Reaper and Ava’s relationship develops they have to deal with her dangerous husband, the jealous women in the club, and then an enemy the MC didn’t see coming. This is a slow burn romance which introduces us to Reaper and Ava, who’s chemistry really comes across in the narrative. The storyline is full of drama, suspense and romance whilst dealing with the difficult subject of domestic violence sensitively. The descriptive narrative really brought the world of the War Brothers MC, and it’s members vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story and engaged with the characters. I look forward to the other members getting their own stories.

I love finding new authors and reading all sorts of new genres and books. This book was certainly a filler in all these categories. I just wish that I had younger children to read this to. I will certainly be recommending this book to all with small children. The author does a really great job of creating a story that teaches children as well as entertains them. The characters are very loveable and even though animals very believable. I would definitely read more from this author in future and recommend others to read as well.
Meg, who is blind, doesn’t understand how monsters are scary. Her older sister though assures her they are. With descriptions and using her senses Meg begins to understand what Monsters are.
Very creative, I thought the way this was written makes you think about using other senses to understand what a person who does not have the same senses might use to understand. The art work is great in this one as well.

At the wedding for one of his War Brothers MC brothers, Reaper sees the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, Ava. Ava though is married and as much Reaper senses that not all is as it seems, Reaper lets her go. A year later Ava has contacted her sister who is married to Axle and needs help, she has been beaten and looking to get away from her marriage. Reaper lets her stay with the MC but he also takes his time to earn her trust, could she accept him in her life when she is ready to move on?
I thought this was a great beginning to a new series. Action packed, great characters for future books. Ava grows strong in this book and takes charge of her life, had some funny moments too.

I really found this book to be so emotional and utterly gripping. I connected with this story from the moment I started reading. I loved watching how it all unfolded and getting to know about the characters involved. Each were unique and interesting and their interconnecting journeys were fascinating to read. This story really hit home as I could not help but to compare it to when I travel with my children. The whole situation is unthinkable and yet the author does an amazing job at navigating the differing emotions. This was a gripping and well written story and I would highly recommend it.
We always enjoy books from this author in our household but I think this one has to be one our favourites. The characters are brilliant and so easy to connect with. They were entertaining and fun and I loved the fact that they were sisters. As usual, we have read this book multiple times but this is the first one from this author we read more than once in a day. Both of my kids really enjoyed this story, despite their difference in age. In a short space of time this author has become one of our most read and I can’t wait to keep reading her stories for years to come.

When trouble arises and Jacek is called back into service to fight for Poland, he learns that things are not as black and white as he once believed. When orders are given that place the entire alliance in peril, Jacek must decide where his loyalty truly lies. I LOVE this series. The description of the characters, estates, and battles is sensational! I highly recommend this book, and the series.

Lap Baby tells the story of three women who survived a plane crash twenty years prior. Each woman has coped with the crash in a different way as they try to move forward and overcome their grief. Paige was a baby, a lap baby, when the event occurred and was adopted after the accident. She is happy and just wants to forget that it ever happened. Marie has never gotten over the loss of her son who died in the accident and needed to blame someone for the crash. She has decided that it was Julie’s fault and wants revenge as the anger and hatred eats away at her. Julie was the flight attendant on the plane who had had to live with the choices she made during that day. She lives with the guilt and the consequences of her decisions. Each woman has learned to cope in a different way as they try to heal. They struggle with issues like alcoholism, PTSD, and self-doubt, that have a ripple effect through their lives.
This author was new to me, but I know that I will be looking for more of her writing. This book was based on a true story, which I did not know when I started to read it. It was compelling, heartfelt, heartbreaking, and hard to put down. The author did a beautiful job of sharing the stories of the survivors of this horrific plane crash and how it affected their lives even years later. The characters are beautifully written and relatable, so it is easy to get invested in their individual lives and story. This is an emotional read that will tug at your heartstrings and have you reaching for the box of Kleenex. I highly recommend this book!

Vassal of Magic is Book Three in The Virus of Beauty Series. The book picks up where the first two left off so I highly recommend reading them first or you may feel a bit lost. The story continues with Wilf as he struggles with his magical powers. As much as he wants to be a normal teenager, he must make the decision to tap farther into his magical abilities or allow an ancient magical realm to perish if he stands back and does not intervene. The problem is that he is unsure how to fully harness his magical powers and that makes things a bit trickier. The stakes are higher for Wilf this time and time is running out for Wilf to make a choice as he struggles to protect his girlfriend Katryna and his loved ones.
I have read and enjoyed this entire series and the author never fails to provide an entertaining story with magnificent writing. The scenes are vividly described and pull you into each scene with the characters. I loved the way the author wrote and described the magical realm and felt transported there with the characters. The characters are beautifully written, unique, quirky, and lovable. You cannot help but root for Wilf as he struggles with the dilemma of being normal or of fully harnessing his magic. Wilf struggled to believe in himself and his capabilities as he tried to decide whether harnessing the powers within him would make matters better or worse. He bore the weight of the world on his shoulders and was burdened with a major dilemma to save a magical realm and his loved ones. In this installment we see Wilf grow and become stronger as he and his friends work together. This book was full of action, suspense, danger, mystery, magic, wizards, witches, family, friendships, and love. I highly recommend this riveting and entertaining series.

Lyall – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
Wilf Gilvary is back and this time a lot is at stake, after the recent events in Hong Kong, he is worried about those he cares about, but he is also trying to get a handle on his powers and the changes they have wrought in him. As he struggles to come to terms with all he has learnt recently, his is also trying to practice his control and he is only sometimes successful, especially when Katrina keeps occupying his mind, so when he is asked to return to the Magical Realm, he really doesn’t want to, he only wants to go back to his life before magic.
In the end, Will agrees to go back to the Magical Realm, but when he gets there, it is nothing like before, so the group he is in practice caution as they move around, but they almost immediately run into trouble and have to navigate the first set of dangers, albeit with a little help. Eventually, they manage to figure out what is happening and where they need to be, but the path, as usual, is never straight forward and barriers are thrown their way, but they are determined to succeed in their plans.
At this point, they discover something incredible which may hold the answers they are seeking, but it turns out that it is just one piece of the puzzle and only once they have all the pieces can Will hope to hone his powers into something useful, but in order to do this, he has to dive into the storm of ancient magic and uncover secrets which have been buried and maybe for good reason, but this journey is going to test him to his limits.
One good thing has come out of this trip however and that is that he is now able to sense where Katrina is, but is it real, or just a remnant from the broken love spell. Unfortunately, Will and his group are both following Katrina’s path and simultaneously being followed themselves and they find themselves in the middle of the warring factions of the witches and wizards again, meanwhile, Katrina is back in dangerous company and is again being held against her will, but the question is where is she and how will she find her way back to somewhere she knows and Will?
With the biggest decisions of his life to be made, can Will choose to leave his dreams behind in order to save the Magical Realm and all of those living within it, or will he choose a normal life in Hong Kong and sacrifice everything else? This is another magical journey against the clock, as Magic changes and evolves, while safety is constantly out of reach and danger lies around every corner in the epic journey across the realms.
I have read the other first two books to this series and I have to say just like the other ones this one did not disappoint. You can read these books any way you want but I think you would be more enjoyable to start from the beginning. I could not get enough of this book. This book was so intense that I was sucked in and couldn’t stop till I finished. Its fast pace so you need to make sure you hold on tight. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way thou. It was so detailed and vividly described that it makes you really feel like your right there beside Miranda as she goes, thou her experience of survival and struggles. The other characters of clowns, snakes, an evil corporation, mad scientists made this book very intriguing and just adds that little touch of suspense. I can stress enough on how amazing this book was and how much I really have enjoyed everything about the series and books.

This was a good read. It’s not my typical genre, but I liked the magical/fantasy aspect of it. I enjoyed being able to see the dual view points between Huli and Xiao as well as the way their relationship evolves and develops. It did take me quiet a while to get into the story and I wish the world building was done a little better. I felt parts of the plot were rushed and it does end on a cliffhanger. This is a MM romance. I would recommend this book, but I feel that there were parts that could have been done better.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. An engaging story where the author used details to give the story a realistic feel. This is a well written story that has twists and turns that you won’t see coming. A story full of suspense and action. A fast paced story about Mouse. She discovers that a family member has murdered someone but as she investigates this for a story, she is kidnapped. This is where the story picks up and is hard to put down. I had to know what happened to Mouse and if she survived. I enjoyed her character and what she added to the story made it that more entertaining to read. There is great growth of the plot throughout.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is their ability to pull me into the story and keep me engaged throughout. The characters are connectable and had me coming back for more. This is an emotional story about three women and one plane crash. How will they rebuild their lives and find themselves after a tragedy. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout. Their story is one of emotion and one you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed what they brought to the story and how they made it easy to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. You don’t want to miss what happens with these three women. I highly recommend this book.
I was a bit surprised by this story. The depth of feeling, the exposure to trauma, the direction of the story. There was just so much to appreciate. The only thing that I can’t take was the way it ended. How could Lyle do that? How could the author do that to me?!?!
This is the story of Kyle and Lyle. Brothers by heart and not by blood. Kyle grew up hard and fast. His mother died when he was very young. His father was not a good man. One day Kyle was at the playground when he saw a younger boy getting bullied. Kyle stepped up and defended that boy, Lyle. From that day forward Kyle and Lyle were inseparable. Unfortunately, Lyle’s life was not much different from Kyle’s. The only difference was that Lyle’s mom was still around until he was 12, Kyle was 14.
When Lyle’s dad found out about the relationship between Lyle and Kyle that had changed from more than just brothers, Kyle was kicked out. This was the first time Lyle felt Kyle’s abandonment. As Lyle and Kyle grew older, Lyle continued to deny his feelings towards Kyle because of all the horrible things Lyle’s dad had screamed at him for years after Kyle left. Kyle and Lyle had a huge fight, each saying some things they didn’t mean but it ended with them not talking. Now, their dad has died and it is time to go home to finally put him to rest.
Can Kyle and Lyle come together after 4 years apart to put everything behind them and move on? Will they destroy each other in the process?
This beautiful story of love, recovery, and family will touch you down to your soul. I suffered through a long day at work after a short night because I could not put this book down. I was gutted after each verbal argument. It was hard to watch Kyle walk away. It was even worse to see Lyle’s choices. I am still not sure all the pieces are put back together after the shattering ending. I can only hope the heart will mend after the next one. Phenomenal.

First off, let me say that this is a truly beautiful story. It is so well written. The story of 4 survivors of a plane crash. It follows them through their struggle as they adjust to life after the crash. The emotions they feel as they try to live their life will be felt as you read. I found the characters worked their way into my heart. I kind of felt that they had become my family as I read further into the book. This a book that you truly engage with. It is based on a true story. It is one of my favorites for 2023.
