Pulling Together by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

/0 Comments/in /by

I absolutely love the message, “We all pull together” that is evident throughout this book. Lois Wickstrom has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her illustrator, Janet King does a wonderful job of bringing the story to life with the illustrations! Lila is spending time with her Grammie who is putting the finishing touches on a poncho just for Lila. At first Lila is not too sure about the poncho, but it ends up pulling her and others together. Pulling Together is one of my favorite books with an Important message that even though something might not seem great at first, it can all come together well in the end. Another thing that can be learned is to forgive others and bring them close. Wrap up with your favorite cozy jacket, poncho, or blanket and enjoy this sweet book!

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. Abby is getting older and she really wants to be a mom. She is also a successful business woman. It doesn’t help that her mom keeps giving her a hard time as well. When her best friend Nate offers to help things start to look up. She has cared for him for years, will things change for them? Will Nate finally admit his feelings to Abby? Overall I really enjoyed this read. All of the characters were great. And I also want to add that Nate is a firefighter, yum. The author does a great job with this story and I look forward to reading more from this series. I was really happy with how Abby and Nates story ended. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first by this author and I’ll be coming back for more. This is a romance with a touch of suspense and drama and I’m here for it!

I loved Brinley and Adrian’s connection and the development of their story, as well as the whole cast of characters! I can see the future stories lining up with the cast! The characters are likable and are developed well, which is something I really value as a reader and draws me into the story….and who doesn’t love a broody rancher. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book! Best friend romances are sweet and this one was no different. The author’s take in Just One Time was just different enough that it’s something I will remember. It stands out from other books in the genre. The way these characters were written was slightly frustrating at times but you still were rooting for them.
Nate and Abby have been best friends for over 30 years. That’s how they ever saw each other. Unfortunately Abby wants the family and baby she always wanted and turning 40 has brought that need to the forefront. That’s where Nate comes in, they decide to try “Just One Time” to see if he could help her have a baby. What neither of them realized before that though was how much they truly cared for one another. How they actually loved the other more than a friend, but how does one navigate that? Especially when they agreed it would be just one time. So instead they are jealous and stubborn about each other. Keeping their true feelings in because they feel that’s what the other wants. All they want is for the other to be happy.
Now the questions become:
Was it really “Just One Time?”
Did Nate help give Abby what she wants?
Do they ever admit how they truly feel?
I invite you to jump on the rollercoaster ride of emotions these two navigate on this adventure of life. You will be happy, sad, and even mad at them, but feeling those emotions makes for a great story. The author beautifully wrote a standalone best friends romance that didn’t disappoint.

Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1)Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Lies follows the prequel Savage Start.
Enemies-to-lovers and high school bully are understated. This is dark and full of scandal, so much scandal. It’s also full of angst, lies, drama, and even more secrets, jealousy, and bullying.

Riley thought a new place would make a great place to hide, as she always does. Her life is still full of secrets, but this time her mom is changing the rules of the game. Unfortunately for Riley she can’t escape the one causing her so much trouble because of her mom’s relationship with Cole’s dad. She has to stay out of his way or find a way to win.
Cole is one of the Elite, the leader is reality. The Elite are privileged boys who rule their private school. He hates his dad and his mom is dead. Cole’s agenda is to make his dad miserable, no matter the cost.

The characters are so easy to love, Riley, or hate, Cole. The pages fly by once you start. Savage Lies ends with a major cliffhanger. I need the next book now!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved how the author jumped us right into the story and then sprinkled the backstory in and she wove an amazing paranormal story. The writing style keeps you on the edge of your seat from the get go, wanting to learn more about what happened and what will happen. Gwen is a fabulous heroine, strong, fierce and sassy. She is the type of character that you would want to go get a drink with and see what happens. The author has created a wonderful world full of paranormal creatures mixed in with regular humans. I absolutely can’t wait to read the prequel book and what comes next from the author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brinley and her friends make a blood promise pact as kids that they would always keep in touch and always be friends. Brinley’s parents move her to Texas for her mom’s work and this pact was made minutes before she left the only home she ever knew.

Fast forward a few years and Brinley has completed her military service and is an Olympic athlete. She’s just coming off tour when she has a stalker that just won’t leave her alone. Brinley decides to go back to her hometown and catch up with her friends. Not much had changed in her hometown except the addition of Adrian.

Adrian is a tall drink of water and is also super quiet and reserved. He’s a rancher who prefers to stay to himself but when he sees Brinley and she’s hanging out with his friends, he has to get to know her. He never predicts just how much they need each other, but especially Brinley when her stalker hunts her down.

I loved the mystery of this book! It made for a pleasant story with a good plot line. This is the first book in a new series by this author. I look forward to seeing where this series goes!

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

Flynn is a former tennis player turned motivational speaker who recently returned from her book tour. She’s a well-known speaker and writer, yet hides so much of her truth from the world. She’s determined to not let her past catch up with her, even if it means ruining all that starts to go well in her life.

Chavez was at the peak of his tennis career when he abruptly left the circuit. He is hot-headed, extremely sure of himself, and doing all he can to cover his family drama. He aspires to reach the top of his game again too.

Sparks and tension are ablaze when Flynn and Chavez meet in their therapists’ shared waiting room. Chavez wants more than a relationship with Flynn, he wants her to be his new tennis coach too. Flynn agrees, but her flight or fight response kicks in when old problems surface as things with Chavez get more intense.

I love Rowan Rossler’s writing, so it was no surprise that I enjoyed these characters and the overall story. Between the age-gap (it’s not as much of a gap as I anticipated) and everything else the characters have to navigate, it kept my attention from the very beginning. The Challenger is the second book in the series, but is easily read as a standalone. The first book, The Cruiser, is definitely worth reading if you want to fully understand the friendships and connections.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Start is a prequel and a quick read to set the stage for the rest of the series.

Riley lives with her mom and it’s obvious that they don’t live normal lives. Running cons is the mother/daughter duo’s game. They’re always running from something, or someone, and getting comfortable isn’t an option. Or is it?

Cole is the football star, all-American boy, and tough guy. He appears to have everything a person could possibly want. Along with his brother and cousins, Cole seems to run the school. Cole’s parents are not happy and neither and Cole and his brother.

Savage Start is a great foundation and teaser that makes me need to read the first book in the series, Savage Lies.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Most of this authors stories have been hit or miss for me. I almost always give her another chance because that story might be the one I love. Sadly this one is a miss for me. There is a lot of titled/military characters and while some of that information is useful mostly especially on secondary characters its not needed. Also this is full of medical procedures and medical jargon. To me that all takes away from the story and gives unnecessary information and I get bored and start flipping pages. The connection between characters and the suspense in here was nice. That Silas is one dark guy.

This is the second one in this series I have tried and I won’t be trying anymore. I will give this author another try on her next series.

The Challenger by Rowan Rossler is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

“When love meets its match, its game on!”

The Challenger is the second installment of The Hustler’s Series. Although part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. This reverse age gap, sports romance is full of steam, spice, and suspense. When Chavez Delgado, a tennis prodigy, leaves a tennis tour unexpectedly his fans are heartbroken. Flynn Dryden, a motivational speaker, meets Chavez at just the right time and agrees to go on tour with him as his mental fitness coach. Sparks fly and the two of them have to decide if their unresolved issues can stay in the past. Will they both be able to overcome their challenges for a happily ever after?

Rowan Rossler aims to make the world a better place one love story at a time, adding a touch of spice to kick it up a notch. The Challenger will give you nothing less. Just when you think Flynn’s life couldn’t fall apart any more another piece comes crumbling down. The family drama and insecurities within this novel are heartbreaking. Rossler will send you on an emotional roller coaster so don’t forget to grab the box of Kleenex for this one. The witty banter, tension, and chemistry between Flynn and Chavez stole my heart. I highly recommend reading The Challenger. I will definitely be on the lookout for other novels by this author.

The Lone Star ChildThe Lone Star Child by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

The Lone Star Child is the third book in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw. This follows on from the previous book, so I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one as there is a continuing storyline here with important information contained in the first two books that you should know in order to avoid feeling a little lost here.
As with the previous books, this is another fantasy adventure with action, emotion, sci-fi elements, gods, revenge, family, loss, heartache, betrayal, magic, royalty, zodiac/astrology, powers, reconciliation, intriguing world-building, and interesting characters.
Ms. Tataw has created an intricate world with unique characters, lore, culture, and beliefs. There are magic and fantasy elements, all woven around things we are more familiar with- which makes the story all the more relatable and believable. She also provides a substantial reference guide at the end of the book full of helpful information.
The adventures continue in ‘The Sisterhood of Secrets’ (Book #4).
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winnifred Tataw!

Right in Front of You is the first book in the Morris Valley Gang series by Brooke May. I always look forward to reading Ms. May’s stories, as she never fails to deliver an engrossing read. This turned out to be one of my favourites of hers, so far- and I am really looking forward to seeing what the rest of the series holds.
This is a western, small-town romance with cowboys, a protective MC, drama, danger, humour, witty banter, chemistry, sizzle, connection, emotion, and more.
Brinley Moore has returned to Morris Valley, the place she feels most like home- and to the friends she had left behind. She doesn’t expect to find a connection with the quiet, but hunky cowboy. Sprinkle in a little danger, and a protective cowboy, and this story takes an interesting turn.
Looking forward to Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Brooke May!

I absolutely adore this book! I love when I get so lost in a book that I don’t realize how much I’ve actually read. I didn’t check the page number one time till I finished it…that’s how much it caught my attention. Brinley and Adrian are absolutely adorable. Adrian is having trouble finding the “one” so when Brinley catches his eye…he’s instantly drawn to her. Adrian wants a woman that understands his life and Brinley is THAT woman. They have a lot on common. And I love a good spicy read as well! And this book had plenty of it. There’s a little bit of suspense and drama and it was a good add to this! I really enjoyed this! I can’t wait for the next book to read about Lilly ♥️

Brinley Moore is in desperate need of a vacation, but she wants to go somewhere where her stalker will not be able to find her. She has no idea who he is, but she certainly doesn’t want to be in his path. Heading back to the one place that holds her heart is just what she needs.

Adrian Cook lives to work on his ranch that he shares with his father. His grumpy behavior though has his friends determined to find him a woman. Adrian doesn’t believe any woman would sign up to be with a man who is dedicated to his ranch, but he has not met Brinley yet.

This was a quick paced romance. I liked both Adrian and Brinley, Adrian is a bit gruff initially but you warm to him as the story progresses. I am definitely eager to see if the other characters get their own story, they were an interesting group of characters.

Return to Hoodoo is the first book in the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue Series (Audiobook) and my first book by this narrator. I’m fairly new to this author but I’m definitely a fan and will be checking out what other books they have written.  I literally listened to this book in one sitting the narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life and keeping my attention throughout the story. I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next.  This narrator had me feeling like I was apart of the story right from the start. I highly recommend listening to this fast paced story to find out is three times a charm as lucky as you think it is? I look forward to reading/listening to more books by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the prequel novella, I have been looking forward to more of Cole and Riley’s story.

Riley has moved (again) and her goal is to graduate while keeping her head down. That is quickly thwarted when a guy that she shared a kiss with months ago puts a target on her back as soon as he sees her. However, when they find out that their lives may be more intertwined than they thought…the bullying and hatred increases. But, as we all know, there is a thin line between lust and hate…and these two cross it every chance they get. The real question is…who will destroy the other first?!?

This book is the definition of enemies to lovers..to enemies…to (you get the point). There is so much back and forth that you keep turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. A couple of words of caution…you don’t have to read the prequel to understand what is going on…and you are going to be left with a cliffhanger that has you wanting the next book! A great story that I enjoyed reading!

I just love to find new authors and new sereies. With this being said I also love when the books have an audiobook version as well. This is a great way to be able to do your everyday chores and get lost in the world created by the author. This book was the first from this author that I have listened to and I was not let down at all. I really enjoy paranormal style books and this was a great change to my usual genre. I like how the author brings the characters to life. The story line in the book really flows well as well as the characters chemistry is really explosive.

This book really has a great underlying topic and I am really glad that an author really chose to use it. I cannot wait to be able to read the next enstallment in this series. The narrator chosen really brought this book to life and I loved the charisma brought to the character. I will definitely be getting more audio as well as proper books from this author in future.

God of Fire: Greek Myths A New Retelling Audiobook by Helen Steadman – Review by Cindy Mayberry

/0 Comments/in , /by

This was a nice travel audible story. Greek Mythology has retold many of these characters and yet I enjoyed this version. The humor as well as the tragic events, made this story enjoyable to listen to. My heart went out for Hephaestus. To have been thrown away because of his looks. If that was not enough Hera threw him from heaven, breaking his little body, from his landing in the sea. But Hephaestus is a fighter. Can he live through these events? Will the unwanted child find a family?This is a New author for me. I would never have picked this book, but it caught my interest. Not only that but it was audible, so I got to listen to the story. So in the end I did enjoy the story. If you like Greek Mythology you will Love this one.

There is a prequel to this story that gives more insight into the tension between Riley and Cole, but it’s not an absolute must in order to understand what’s going on in this book.

As with the prequel, Riley’s character didn’t land as well for me as Cole’s, but overall, the story has a lot of angst and build up between the two that keeps you reading. Even though I didn’t connect with Riley’s character much, I think the character development on the whole was well done, as was the world building.

If you like enemies-to-lovers new adult stories, this will probably be right up your alley.

This story is about a man named Dan who is a divorced truck driver with a complicated relationship with his daughter, due to being absent so often for work. It seems that one thing is going wrong after another and he can’t catch a break as he tries to navigate through the minefield that is his life.
Though he has driven a truck for years, getting caught without a license sets him way back. He has another chance to get his license and work, but he is on probation and has to have an instructor with him so he can re-learn the job he has done for so long. As he drives, his relationship with Jake, his instructor develops and he begins to feel things he never expected to feel for another man. His character grows a lot through this book as he admits his wrongs and discovers himself.
This story is well written. There is good character development and the story is enjoyable, if you are into this sort of book. This is not the type of book that I am normally am interested in, but that is personal preference and nothing to do with the authors writing. If you like this type of story, this book is worth a read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book and can totally relate to Brinley. She and her girls are best friends forever. She ends up moving away and they promise to keep in touch which they do as much as possible. Brinley is all over the place shooting documentaries ever since she was in the Olympics.

She has a stalker that seems to always know where she is and decides it’s time to go back to her hometown of Morris Valley and visit her girlfriends while someone else tries to go to a different location making her think her stalker is with her instead of back with her friends. While staying with friends she meets Adrian who is a tall, dark, muscular rancher who is quite good looking. Both have their eyes set in eachother but, Brin is only visiting. Adrian usually works very long hours on the farm and no one really understands it but Brin definitely gets it because her family has a farm back home. When Brinley’s stalker makes it known that he/she knows where she is, Adrian offers to bring her to the farm which is somewhat further from town and vows to keep her safe.

One night all the girls, Adrian and the guys go out to a bar and think they have a well thought out plan to keep Brinley safe. Adrian doesn’t like the plan at all to use her as bait but decides to go along with it. What could possibly go wrong with about 10 sets of eyes watching one girl in a bright shimmery dress? This book was great. I loved it from beginning to end. I loved the friendship between Brinley and her girls. Great characters, great storyline.

Rogue (The Talisman Series Book 6)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in The Talisman series. I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. This is a story of good vs evil with hints of celtic mythology. It involves fated mates, magic, a curse, a one man’s search for survival and redemption by finding his fated mate (Talisman).
This story is action packed and the author has a unique way of writing that grips and reader and doesn’t let you go. I would recommend reading the books in order so you can get the full story with regards to the evil that has cursed the warriors and what it means. This story is told from several points of view which keeps the story engaging and moving forwards at a fast pace. I love the main characters of Delany and Baz. They are both strong characters fighting for and protecting the people they care about. When they meet they are enemies but what do you do when you realise that your enemy could possible the fated mate you’ve been searching for your whole life.

This story is full of action packed adventure and a romance that is so special that I couldn’t put it down until the end. It was one story that I completely lost myself to and really enjoyed.

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is about Abby and Nate. Best friends since they were in grade school together.
Abby just turned 40 and she is losing hope to ever find “the one” but her dream was always to be a mother. She could easily go to a doctor and have a procedure done to make it happen or her best friend Nate might even volunteer to help her out. When he offers to be the baby daddy, he is offering to do it the old fashion way. It would be just one time and they could go back to being best friends.
Both Abby and Nate are attracted to eachother more than the other knows.
Personally, I didn’t care for Abby’s character. Nate was probably the sweetest guy and from how he was described he was gorgeous too. Not to mention how he treated Abby. I feel like Abby was just breaking his heart over and over again in the book. Both of them needed to get over it and tell the other how they feel. Will Abby and Nate be able to save their friendship or will crossing the line ruin it forever?

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

An enjoyable and engaging romance, which had me hooked throughout. Brinley is an Olympian shooter, who returns to her childhood home of Morris Valley when she’s in danger from a stalker. She’s always kept in touch with her group of friends, and so was looking forward to being one of the ‘tribe’ again. Whilst in the local pub she’s introduced to rancher Adrian Cook, and their chemistry is instant. Adrian loves being a rancher but remains single after his last girlfriend left having discovered that being a rancher is not how it looks on the TV. As Brin and Adrian, with some help from Miss Polly get to know each, Brin’s stalker turns up and she’s once again in danger.
Adrian, along with her friends hatch a plan to help keep her safe. Although their relationship started as a fling they both feel that it could be something deeper, but Brin never planned on staying. I loved all the characters in this romantic suspense and the plot kept me gripped. The descriptive narrative brought both the small town setting and the characters vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. The chemistry between Brin and Adrian sizzled off the page and led to some romantic, but steamy scenes. I also liked how their connection developed over the story, and enjoyed the interactions and banter between the friends. I really felt as though I was one of the Morris Valley gang and I look forward to reading each characters story.

Under My Care (Chase Care Book 3)Under My Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Under My Care by R.L. Dunn is a romantic thriller that is the third book in the Chase Care series. This book is able to be read as a standalone. We follow Pete Walker and Rowena Anderson as they come face to face after having a history with each other in Afghanistan. I really enjoyed this story. Pete and Rowena are great characters and have wonderful chemistry. The plot is intriguing and thrilling. This was a very moving story. I really enjoyed the action and the romance. A very fun story.

Insomnia (A Short Stories Collection)Insomnia by Kelly Covic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book full of short stories. Every one of them is fun and just creepy enough to allow you to use your imagination to the most. Great stories to read any day or anytime but extra creepy in the dead of night when no sound is being made.
