Get a glimpse of what a war in a city under siege looks like! 

Sarajevo 1992: a page-turning witness account of teenage life in a city at war that will immerse you in a world where survival is the only thought.

At the age of fourteen, Nadija watches from her window as tanks roll into the airport across the street. It’s the beginning of the Serbian siege of the Bosnian capital. When a sniper kills their next-door neighbor, Nadija and her family are forced to flee. Where can they find safe refuge? How does this young girl cope during the terrifying and seemingly never-ending war?

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting is the true and occasionally humorous story of a teenager who learns to survive under the brutal war-sculpted lifestyle and losses under siege.

Cassandra

Growing up, I was mesmerized by a man soaring the skies.

The greatest silk aerialist in the world, Chandler Moreau.

The day before my parents died, they took me to see his circus, and it was then I knew my fate was sealed.

I would do everything in my power to perform with them one day.

To perform with him.

Little did I realize, he would be far more than I’d ever imagined him being.

Far more than just a mentor.

He was a man I didn’t want to live without.

And someone I wanted to keep safe from a past that seemed to keep following me.

Chandler

My entire career, I’d been waiting for the right student to take under my wing.

A protégé with whom I could share my lifelong journey in the circus.

Little did I know it would be Cassandra Blackstone.

A woman who’d grown up admiring me from afar.

I never intended to fall in love with the student I was supposed to protect—from myself and the demons that lurked in my shadows.

But sometimes fate has other plans.

My grandfather’s taunting words still linger.

Mieux vaut plier que rompre.

Adapt and survive.

They weren’t just his adage but also unmistakably true.

A reminder that Cassandra and my shared history seemed to intertwine us more than the silks we’d spent our lives mastering ever could…

Sera Kain has a mission, one she can’t complete with a pilot. Using her background as a logistics and data controller, she’s found the one man that might be willing to help her find her missing uncle with a little incentive.

Markus Engle resigned from military life to escape the destruction left by human expansion through the universe. He wants only a life of leisure and enjoyment on the pleasure planet of Kafgar. When Sera walks through the door of his business everything changes because he can’t tell her no. Not when her scent activates the military DNA modifications that make denying her impossible.

It’s a simple rescue mission on the prison planet, Earth, with Sera guiding the way. Only the snatch-n-save turns into an ambush and the pair find themselves trapped without a ship and no way out. To escape alliances will need to be formed and bargains made with the worst Space Force has encountered. For Markus and Sera, their future is fated, but making it off Earth alive to enjoy it will be damn near impossible.

Landra Graf has always been a sucker for stories where true love conquers all. She believes in the inspiration and joy the written word can bring. Add in her personal mottos of ‘whatever it takes’ and ‘better to be busy than bored’ and she’s two steps from overload. She writes romance with the goal of granting happily ever afters to everyone, fiction or not.

When not writing, readers can find Landra reviewing books, cooking up a storm, deeply immersed in a mad game of Scrabble or Rummy variation, and searching for moments to laugh and smile through it all.

She lives in the wilds of Northwest Arkansas with her partner and two children.

After the war, I was driven to the human world by a vengeful leader. My only chance at survival? Run.

With the help of a genderfluid shifter, I learned to hide in plain sight and harness the powers within, but my luck soon ran out.

This time, she captured my sister and sent an assassin after me. Running is no longer an option.

If I want to live, I have to fight.

But how do you defeat the same power that turned your clan to ash?

You build an army and start a rebellion.

Small-Town Yeti, Big-City Problems

Peaceful, unassuming Wylie Kang—a Yeti with an appreciation for more human creature comforts—lives a quiet life in his self-built sanctuary on the outskirts of Embarrass, Minnesota. But when violent dreams disturb his peace, and a series of strange murders plague the area, a Hunter comes to town, nosing after Wylie’s trail.

Fleeing pursuit, Wylie packs up his truck and heads for the Twin Cities, hoping to lose himself in the urban jungle, only to find a thriving supernatural community.

Just as he begins to settle in—with the help of some new-found friends—he discovers the bloodshed has followed… as has the Hunter.

Can Wylie catch the killer, before the Hunter catches him?

Right in Front of You (Morris Valley Gang Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Heidi Sturgess

/0 Comments/in /by

Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian (Morris Valley Gang Book 1)Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I must just start off by saying this is my favourite by far ! I’ve read a few of Brooke’s books but Brinley and Adrian are my favourite ❣️📚

Brinley lived in Morris Valley for a while and she had a tight friend group , they were more like sisters than friends but her family moved away and the youngsters promise to always be in contact and bless their hearts they do so it’s only natural for Brinley to head home , to her safety net when things with her stalker get a bit much …..

My first introduction to Adrian had me in stitches and reminds me of my own farmer husband who is allergic to coming into town and having to pay for coffee when the perfect cup can be brewed at home 🤣 doesn’t say much and isn’t a fan of change so I just fell in love with Adrian at first “ read” ❣️😉

Adrian is loved in his little town but he’s also known to be the grump and most want to set him up with a woman especially the older ladies , like Polly 🤣 but his friends also try with disastrous results like Delilah but again dearest Polly was his saving grace 🌸🤣🙈

Adrian is a hard worker and loves his family ranch with a passion , his dad and him live a rather quiet life until Brinley comes along and brightens it with her sunshine ❣️

Brinley is home to breathe and hide from her stalker but she’s also considering putting her Olympic Gold Medal for shooting to good use , if settling down in a small town, she can give proper gun training to folks or have an upgraded range , she has options but watching her find love was a gift❣️

Adrian let’s Brinley come and “ hide out “ on the farm and instead of a wallflower he gets someone that loves to work the land like he does and watching things unfold between was a real treat and if ever there was a perfect match it would be these 2 ❣️

Clover, Lexy , Lilly, Julia , Mina , Eliza are the best friends a girl could ask for and their bonds are unfailing , these friends made want to climb into my book and join in in their antics , fun , laughter , tears and life ❣️

Nash, Gage , Gentry and Beckett are good guys and real characters that keep and eye on Adrian so they’re all stoked when their friend friend finds his HEA

A read my heart needed ❣️📚

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  1. This book was really good. This supernatural world was extremely well written and immersed you immediately. First introducing you to Connor and then to Niamh is captivating. Conner story is heartbreaking at first and then you begin to see the world through his eyes. Niamh is in a way trapped in a gilded cage, only to be let out when she is needed to perform. They meet and sparks immediately fly. When an entity comes and takes Niamh away and takes everything of hers leaving nothing but an empty slate, Conner is devastated and will do anything to get her back. The introduction of other characters was well done and I want to know more about their story! I can’t wait to see if this author will expand on the world she has created! I look forward to reading more books by this author!

His Forever Muse (Book 2 of The Echo Series)His Forever Muse by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My nerves are shattered as Calliope is escaping her prison , my heart aches for her but at the same time it soars because she is so brave and determined ! The man she was involved with was a monster but he is also a man that comes from a very powerful family , this isn’t going to be an easy battle for her ……

So we catch up with Rae who is being rushed to hospital to have her baby and her bestie Brandon is on hand to get her to the hospital , her husband Dean is on his way to meet them and again I feel my heart beating faster because the precious bundle is coming to early but she’s in good hands ….

Brandon is not only a talented musician it a gifted artist and he’s already had his first exhibition which was rather successful and after a crazy work tour he takes a breather and starts touring and it’s in Morocco where he meets up with his “ muse” his forever love , his best friend and band members sister Calliope aka Callie and as youngsters they were tight and feelings were there but never talked about it acted on , their paths parted but what a beautiful reunion in Morocco and then Paris , hand on my heart ❣️

Brandon and Callie are just poetry in motion and there were moments we here my heart stopped with fear thanks to man that won’t be mentioned ( he deserves no airtime) but it also soared because of Popo with her delicious meals and warm heart , you just want to sit around her table , hug her , eat her food and talk your heart out with her . Then there’s Callies tribe , her Amazonian warriors ❣️Genevieve, Anais and Madeleine that protects her so fiercely but love just as hard and let’s not forget the precious little Eleanor aka Ella ❣️all these people just climbed into my heart and made me part of their family !

Loved
Every
Minute

The written was done excellently and I didn’t feel like it was too immature for someone older to read, as I have with other YA reads.

Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book by Cynthia Hamilton

Breach of Trust is the eighth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series and is a wonderfully written Mystery/Crime that once you start reading it’s extremely hard to put down. Im a huge fan of not only this author but this series is mu favorite and I am definitely putting on my list of favorites to reread. If you haven’t already started this series I recommend reading this series in order although they can be read as standalones. I’m a sucker for reading series in order you get to really know the characters and what’s been going on. Madeline and Mike are back and three new cases to investigate. This will definitely keep them busy. There are a few twists and turns I didn’t see coming and found myself on thr edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next you won’t be disappointed that’s for sure. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is the first book I have listened to by Helen Steadman. Although I usually don’t read/listen to Greek Mythology this story really captured my attention. It was an entertaining story and I will definitely be looking for more stories from this author. 

The narration was also, a new to me narrator, Christopher Swift. I truly loved the way he brought the characters to life. This was a great way to start a new genre.

Undying LightUndying Light by Aurora Wildey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surviving a robbery/attack at work, Kaela finds herself in a safehouse of sorts. The man who saved her is not only the district attorney prosecuting the case but also a werewolf. The man who is harboring her is an undying, something akin to a vampire who feels a pull to Kaela. Being pulled in different directions, Kaela just wants to get out of this alive. Each of the other two men also have their own motives in helping her.
Opinion
This book is not a quick read. It is one you will want to sit and think about while reading it. Going from chapter to chapter, I found my brain trying to piece together what was happening and what would happen. It truly was a fascinating book that I enjoyed immensely. The book did leave in a bit of a cliffhanger without a resolution to one of the issues that played a minor role in the plot but could potentially be a major problem. I can see this particular issue playing a minor roll in several more books until it comes to a culminating point.
This book is worth a reread, especially right before the next book in the series is released.

I enjoyed watching how v things played out and really getting to know these characters. As the first book in the series I think its sets a good premise of course what is to come.

The Challenger (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2) by Rowan Rossler – Review by Christie Mitchum

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2)The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Challenger is the second book in The Hustler Series by Rowan Rossler, and it’s a good addition to the series!

This book is Flynn’s to tell. Flynn is best friends with Vandana, the main character in book 1. Flynn meets Chavez, in of all places, their psychiatrist’s office. Their attraction crackles with chemistry, and Chavez, who proclaims that he doesn’t chase women, does finally wear Flynn down and convince her to go out with him. It doesn’t take too long for these two to fall for one another, even though he has a hard job ahead of him destroying the walls she has so carefully erected around her heart.

Rossler has created two complex characters who have been hurt badly in the past. Both have had much success in their lives despite the secrets they have. Flynn is a “motivational guru” but now she has a stalker threatening her. Chavez has been a champion tennis player. He has been nicknamed, “Talented Tornado” for his playing skills, but the past few months that name has been used to describe his demeanor off of the court. He left the sport while he was at the top, and no one knows why. So, like Flynn, he has secrets too. This was a book about how love can shed light on secrets and bring healing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this couple mature and grow throughout the book.

The Challenger is a great description of what takes place within the pages of this book. This couple really does challenge each other. It is an age gap and age reverse novel. Honestly, I was just too invested in them as individuals and as a couple to even take much notice of it. Age gap novels don’t bother me anyway. If a book is good, like this one, I don’t care about issues such as an age gap.

The book is not only character-driven but also plot driven. If you like a good sports romance with some mystery intertwined, this one should be a sure winner for you!

Other People's Money (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 7)Other People’s Money by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Other People’s Money was the first book I have read by this author. It is the 7th book in the Madeline Dawkins series, however can be enjoyed as a stand alone. There is references to the past, but with enough detail that I didn’t feel like I was missing important details. It was a pretty good mystery, that did not reveal all until the very end. The characters are well developed and the story was a steady pace. Madeline and Mike are married and private investigators. They are debating expansion, after a busy period, when they are landed with 3 cases at once. They have 2 missing women, and a possible gold digger after a friend’s widowed father. I liked how the cases wound together, but I didn’t like the ending. It was not what I expected, and I felt it wrapped up suddenly. Over all, it was a decent book that kept me engaged, and I would read more in the series.

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy (Sinful Delights)The Sweet Temptations Trilogy by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really love this author and his saucy reads so when I saw this trilogy I couldn’t wait to get started. As usual his writing didn’t disappoint. The three stories contained within this trilogy all had different tropes but were short and sexy reads.

The Baby Sitter – this story may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I did enjoy it and whilst I 100% don’t agree with cheating it is at the end of the day a story. There was a lot of passion and chemistry between the characters and although a short read – it certainly wasn’t short on anything else! This story does led into the next one so don’t worry if you feel it finished a little abruptly!

The Boss’ Daughter – in this story we meet again and see him continue with his forbidden love interests. This time his Boss’ Daughter who we briefly meet in the first book. After Richard receives a visit from Rebecca we see Scarlett let him in on a secret of her own!

Menage A Trois – The third book in the trilogy sees Richard’s secrets exposed – but Alice has a secret of her own for him! This third book definitely had a lot of passion and chemistry going on. The story is well written from the passion side and it is completely believable.

Overall the three stories are good, they are definitely packed with some pretty steamy scenes and they should be read in order!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Incredible story! Emma is a wonderful model to other women and girls. She is strong, independent, fierce but she is also caring, sympathetic, and compassionate. She doesn’t need a man to help her but recognizes when it’s welcomed. I could go on and on about Emma, she’s awesome. This story broke my heart in regards to the children, and seeing Emma and her team solve the entire case was so genius. There are three different cases in this book and the author does such a wonderful job of moving from one onto the next. The three cases are all so cleverly thought out and solved, the second case with the three women and the one man they all hate was my favorite to watch unfold. I have a strong feeling we are not done with see John Harden either. Wonderful book, I could go on and on with praise.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this quick prequel, we meet Riley, who appears to be a con artist alongside her mom. We aren’t given much about their background but perhaps the series will enlighten us more. Riley meets Cole at a party where they share a quick yet heated kiss. Although this is a fast read, the author was able to lay out the groundwork for what to expect with the series and give us some info about our main characters. Looking forward to seeing what occurs in the first book of this series.

Little Red’s Grandma asks her to bring some cone flowers to her house to make tea with. On the way she encounters a wolf with a devious plan which she is not aware of until she finds her Grandma looks mysteriously like the wolf.

Different take on Little Red Riding Hood. I liked the idea of how she identifies plants. Entertaining story, I think kids would enjoy.

With Fire and Sword (Thunder On The Moor Book 4) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Kerry Carr

With Fire and Sword (Thunder on the Moor, #4)With Fire and Sword by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in The Thunder On The Moors series. I really recommend reading these books in order as the story continues through them and you would miss out on a lot of the characters backstories and history which may make it a bit of a confusing read.

This is a historical time travelling romance. I love the author’s attention to details in the time period and the descriptions and writing reflect that period which makes you feel like you are experiencing it first hand. Being a historical story there is a lot of adventure and danger as the rival clans are constantly at war with one another.
Will and Maggie have finally escaped back to the twentieth century. After everything they have been through they feel they could finally be together and be safe. However that isn’t the case. When Dylan finds a problem in the fabric of time he finds a way to contact Will and Maggie to tell them they need to return as them not doing so would change both time periods and it wouldn’t be for the better.

There are several problems though. 1stly the amulet they use to travel is out of stone so it doesn’t work anymore, 2nd they don’t know what exactly they need to do to fix the fabric of time and save both time periods and finally what will happen if they return. The whole reason they left was because it wasn’t safe for them so will returning prove to be a huge mistake?

The author’s writing is amazing and as a reader you feel transported in time, following the characters as they try to find the balance between doing what’s right and finally having their happy ever after.

The author’s attention to details really makes you feel like you are back in 16th Century in the Scottish borders. I loved this even more as that’s where I currently live so it was nice to imagine going back to that time period.

Overall the story is fast paced and engaging. You won’t be able to put it down until you find out if Maggie and Will can fix the tear in the fabric of time.

This story could have been written about my life. I felt all the emotions that Juie felt. I’m actually still feeling the emotions. Being a wife and mother is hard enough without having to deal with death and so many other emotions. If you love heartfelt stories, then this is the book for you.

C.A. King has done it again! Another great written book. The details and world building is on point. This book was a medical romance type of read. This book had me sitting on the edge of my couch wanting me to know what happened next. It will definitely grab your attention from the very beginning. This book was also a page turner for me.

Messenger (Star-Crossed Celestials Duet #2)Messenger by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is amazing. First thing first, you do need to read the first book in this series to understand fully what is going on. I skipped it, however, I will be going back to read it. I mean you can read this book without reading the first but it makes it harder to understand the dynamic between Jase and Cyrus. This book picks up where the other left off and it goes into detail about things but I feel I would have had a fuller understanding of what was happening had I read the first book before this one. That being said, this book is still amazing and I felt myself getting swept away with the story. It brings elements into the concept of Romeo and Juliet. There isn’t much of a resemblance to the actual Romeo and Juliet story because this one is between two males, had supernatural aspects, and really the only thing it has in common with Romeo and Juliet is the forbidden love between the two main characters. That said, it was an amazing spin on a timeless classic piece of literature. The slow burn between the charters that builds throughout the book. You can tell instantly how much they each care for each other and you can also feel, how everyone disagrees with some of their choices. It has angst, suspense, drama, love, and some good steam. You will not be disappointed reading this book if you like celestial, paranormal romance. I just suggest reading the first book in the series before this one so you are all caught up and not struggling to figure out things along the way. However, if you. just want to devour a great book and don’t mind not knowing everything but eventually being able to piece things together, go for it!!! This book will leave you wanting more, so I am excited to go back and read the first one in the series.
