White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson. I loved this book. I could really relate to it. Its the story of Julie Cahill who is a Army Brat so she knows what its like to move all the time. She knows what its like to not know anyone in school so she was determined not to do that to her kids. While her marriage seems perfect she is left feeling unappreciated and unloved. She is a great mom and she has given her life 100% to her kids so she is left feeling like a stranger with her husband. Clinging to her kids even more after a horrible tragedy she smothers her kids only to cause permanent damage. Will she lose her husband and kids? This book is so full of emotion and tragedy and the life that’s left after that tragedy. Please keep tissues close by and be prepared to read until you are done with this great book.
Just turned 40, Abby is feeling like time is running out. She has not found the man to capture her heart and share the white picket fence, plus kids with. After talking to her doctor she realizes that she could still achieve one dream, have a baby. When her best friend Nate offers to be the donor, she is not sure what to think but decides who better to do this with. What happens though when they both navigate Abby being pregnant and not communicating with one another one what each other truly wants?
This was a great start to new series. I thought a bit angsty at times but then I think it would be hard to to switch from being best friends into another level neither considered. If you like friends to lovers story this is one to pick up.

Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun is the third book in the Tapestry of Worlds Series. Conner became a vampire a century ago and has spent decades plotting revenge against the one who stole his humanity. He has been consumed by hatred for so long that he cannot remember how his life was before being turned into a vampire. He only cares about protecting his family until he sees Niamh and hears her sing. The moment he spots this beautiful sidhe princess he aches to possess her. When Niamh meets Connor her whole world changes. Until meeting him she spends her days locked away at the shining courts because she is no longer safe in her court. She comes out at night to play the fiddle across the veil in the world of men.
When an old enemy resurfaces Niamh and Connor’s lives are thrown into turmoil. Niamh’s power and memories are stolen from her and she is hidden away in the world of men. Kept away from the safety of the Other World Niamh is helpless and it is up to Connor to keep her from fading away. Will his affection be enough to break the spell she is under and save her?
The author did an amazing job of weaving a tale that takes place in the real world while simultaneously taking place in the nine mystic worlds. It is a beautiful blending of the real world and lands where magic exists. The characters of Niamh and Connor were wonderful and you could not help but root for their relationship to work. Connor is initially a vampire filled with hatred and the desire for revenge after being turned against his will. That all changes when he meets Niamh and falls in love. Now all he wants is to protect her at all costs. Niamh has been through a lot as she taken from all she knows and locked away to keep her safe. She is suddenly thrown into a world of power, blood and a web of games and must choose between blood family and the family she loves. A beautiful story with fae, vampires, magic, politics, suspense, intrigue, revenge, action, lies, passion, love, and mythology. I was intrigued by the existence of the nine mystic worlds along with the real world. Loved the author’s playlist that was included at the end of the book.

The Rogue is a story of a rogue warrior and is the 6th book in this series. If you are into Celtic mythology, this is the book and series for you! The dark turns and fighting elements in this story kept me on edge. While you can read this as an independent book, I would highly recommend reading the full series in order so you understand the build up and background of the characters involved in this extraordinary story. It is filled with thrill, deceit, grief, and passion. Highly recommend this book and series!

A fantastic read with Brilliantly done characters, twisting and turning plot with vivid imagination and descriptions. So well done.

Normally I don’t read romance, and had some extra time on my hands and picked up The Silent Road. The banter, conversation, and emotions between Jake and Dan what drew me in. I personally didn’t care for the erotic scenes (not my cup of tea), but wanted to keep reading to find out what happens do Dan- if he ends up finding the college money for his daughter and getting his license. Had a soft spot for Dan, for I work with children that have similar reading difficulties such as dyslexia, trying to navigate in a printed world.
The third character in the book was a pet dog, Mimi, which provided comic relief when feelings got too intense. I would love a sequel to figure out what happens to Jake and Dan next!

This was a really interesting read. I really loved this author’s writing. It felt like the author’s writing was describing my life in parts. As a mother I know the feeling of losing yourself when you have kids. You do everything you can to protect and support your kids that in the process you lose yourself and the relationships you had before the kids came along. Julie Cahill has tricky life growing up. She was always on the move never staying for long periods of time in one place she never felt like she was settled or that a place was home. She vowed that her own children wouldn’t grow up that way. Fast forward and her family are dealing with a sudden loss. No parent imagines they will have to bury their child. Now the whole family are dealing with this loss, Julie’s relationship with her husband is suffering and she is trying to hold on tighter to her girls to protect them like she couldn’t protect her son. Julie is battling grief because the one time she did something to rediscover herself was the same day the accident happened and Curtis was taken away from the family. This is a story of love, grief, loss of a loved one and loss of yourself and about rediscovery. It is a very heartwarming and moving story and there is definately parts that I could relate to.
This is the fifth book in the series but can definitely be read as a standalone. This book pulled me in from the beginning and I finished it so fast!
Lily is used to people using her for her money and connections. She just wants to find someone to connect with. She offers up a date for a charity auction. The problem: the person she should be meeting doesn’t show up! Is anyone worth the effort at this point? Rhys hasn’t been ready to date and he certainly isn’t about to start with a rockstar. Especially one like Lily. That is until he realizes he may have pegged her wrong. After spending some time together, Rhys and Lily realize they don’t want it to end. What will happen when their feelings are tested?
I really enjoyed this book. It was different than most rockstar tropes I’ve read and it was refreshing. Rhys grew as a character pretty quickly and you could see that change. Their chemistry was very evident! I highly recommend this book!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I don’t usually read this genre either but it was a good read. This book is full of adventure and growth.
Princess Zarina isn’t a character many would like at first. Her Royal Advancement Ceremony is approaching and she just has to have a special dress regardless of any danger that may be present. Princess Zarina quickly learns she’s capable of more than she thought and discovers who she truly is. She discovers strengths she didn’t know she had.
There is a lot of character growth throughout this story and my opinion of Princess Zarina changed by the end. If fairy tales are your thing, this book is for you.

Small – Review by Angelina Frazzini
This book is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone. If you are looking for a spicy m/f/m romance this one is for you.
Jocelyn is struggling after the death of her mother. She can’t handle the guilt she feels so she pushes everyone close to her away. Her dreams are trying to tell her something but it can’t be real right? They are dreams after all. Cameron dreams of Jocelyn every night. He’s not sure the significance but he’s always seen things others haven’t. His dreams take a turn when Reed makes an appearance as well. Will these three connect or are these dreams just that?
This wasn’t a book I’d typically read but it was really well written and pulled me in. It didn’t lag anywhere and the story was engaging. I’m glad I picked it up!

Isla did an amazing job writing this book. I do recommend that you read Savage Start before this book so you know all about the history between Cole and Riley.
Cole is the man at school. He is rich, good-looking, a star athlete, and part of the elite group. Riley is the girl that has never really called on place home for longer than a few months. She is used to being ready to move at the drop of a hat.
Riley comes back to Santa Monica and the history she left behind with Cole. Can the past be forgotten or will he still hold onto that same grudge? Cole is used to getting his way and having people hang on to his every word and listen to him. Riley is not that kind of girl she is not afraid to push back against him.
Is there really a thin line between love and hate? Can you mend something that was broken before it even started? Can you really just get someone out of your system? High school is not easy with all of the emotions that come along with it. Read this book to find out if Cole and Riley can figure out high school relationships. Beware all is fair in love and war.

A wonderful book to read. The character development and the storyline were well thought out and executed.
This book is about Cole and Riley. Riley is a girl that is not used to staying in one place for very long. She is used to not getting to know people too well because she knows that she will inevitably leave them sooner rather than later. Cole is the guy that everyone thinks has everything in the world and the best of the best. As well as being a high school athlete his life is not all that it seems to be from the outside looking in.
What happens when the jock meets a stubborn girl. In this story first impressions are important and the impressions that these two made on each other were not great. Enemies from the first talk are definitely how these two started out.
Read this book to find out, what really goes on behind closed doors of the perfect family. What causes a high school girl to have been to more schools and new places than some people move in their lifetime? Can you build trust from something that started with lies and hatred? Read this wonderful book to find out.
C. R. Alam’s book His Forever Muse, The Echo Series Book #2 continues the story of Brandon and unfolds the mystery behind the one that stole his heart, which was hinted at in Book #1. I love that this book opens with Rae and Dean having their first child Maya and the fact that Brandon got to be there with Rae when she needed him most. Watching their happiness, Brandon is reminded that something is missing in his life, and this leads him to travel around the world searching for what he is missing. What a coincidence that he runs into Callie (Curtis’s big sister, who Brandon hasn’t seen in 15 years) while he is visiting Chris at his resort in Morrocco. Will Brandon be able to reconnect with his long-lost love, or will her haunted past pull her away from her past love? What is she hiding from Brandon, and her family, that caused her to go quiet for all these years? If you are a fan of The Echo Series, this is a must-read that jumps right in with the drama, the romance, and the amazingly developed characters that we have grown to know and love as well as some new ones that we get to meet. @Brandy Rymer 04/2023

Noah Reagan has always dreamed of making it big—for science. A place in The Summer with Supers Youth Program would provide him with just that. Popularity, respect, and maybe even a bully-free semester.
But when Lincoln City’s mutant infestation leaves Noah’s dreams crushed beneath a pile of rubble, he’s forced to spend the summer working for his dad’s failing Mega-Maintenance company, cleaning up after the very creatures that have stolen his freedom.
With the real heroes battling back the incoming hordes, Noah begins his investigation into the madness fueling the monsters, hoping to end the mega-meltdowns before his last chances of a super summer are swept into the dustbin.
Though, with the mastermind holding the keys to Noah’s dreams, interfering may doom him to an off-brand existence, and a future of atomic wedgies, forever.

5 Stars Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King
Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General) is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no putting it down until you’ve finished. I pretty much devoured this book in one sitting. I’m a huge of this author and have read several books by her but this one definitely tops my favorite yet list. This is Frank and Barbara’s story. Dr. Frank Enstein is a Plastic Surgeon who wants to helpmake a difference in his patients lives. He has the passion but he lacks the proper bedside manner and doesn’t always make a good first impression. Barba just wants to feel normal and hopes Frank can her with that. She’s not impressed with him at firsy but man the chemistry between them sizzles. These two are such well developed characters that make the story come to life. Can Frank help her to feel normal? I highly recommend reading this fast paced story to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Savage Lies is the 2nd book in the Hidden Valley Elite series (It says book 1, but there is a prequel Savage Start, which is worth reading too). I was hooked on this series instantly. Aside from the awkwardness of reading steamy scenes between teenagers, this series is perfect. There is a good mix balance of romance and mystery. Both Riley and Cole are well developed and strong characters. Riley and her mom have a life of baggage and have lived on the run as con=artists for the last 15+ years. Now her mom says they are done and things are different. Riley is having a hard adjustment and is waiting for the other shoe to drop. She has a love hate relationship with her soon to be step brother, literally. The ending was total cliff hanger so on to the next book!!

Notebook Mysteries: Suspicions is the 5th book in the Notebook Mysteries series. It’s set in January 1889, and Emma and her team back to solving mysteries. This can be enjoyed as a standalone, but I think that it would be more beneficial to read 1-4 first. I know I wish I would have. In this book, Emma & the team is busy with multiple cases going on, as well as the return of someone from her past. I really enjoyed reading this book. If you enjoy mystery and historical fiction with a strong female lead, then you will also enjoy this book!

Gwen is a character that I would want to be friends with. Sassy, strong and independent, she’s back and just wants to do her business. I found this to be quite the story. I loved it because it wasn’t your basic cookie cutter. It’s unique, creative and full of paranormal goodies in the story. I love a hot werewolf too. I’ve been naughty. Lock me up. You can feel the intensity of the emotions throughout the story. I found everything so entertaining and intriguing that I stayed up late to finish it. Well worth losing sleep over. I can’t wait to read more. Bring on more of this deliciousness. Listening to this on audio was a treat. The narrator made it even better because her tone and narrating made it sound like she was from down south. It was just made the story even more enjoyable, and I just didn’t think that was possible. The writing is good, the characters are crazy and it has a paranormal flow that you just roll with. I loved it. I had to sit and listen in one sitting.

This was an informative historical fiction read about a time period, family, and historical aspects I have read little about. The author, Jennifer Laam, does an excellent job incorporating factual information with a fictionalized story line of Olga and her family.
The tense and secluded atmosphere the book creates provides tension and tells the “other” side of the story- the more human side- as the four sisters (as well as other characters along the way) try to survive after being smuggled out of Russia during the Romanov era. The emotions and feelings of the characters are enhanced by the descriptions of the settings and daily life the girls (and others) must endure. A 4-and-a-half star read for me!

Oh, my word! What a wonderful, beautiful story! A pampered young woman is betrayed by family and left to fend for herself in a patriarchal world. She learns to do things for herself, and for others. At the same time, she learns to fall in love. Although she falls in love, she still plans to provide for herself and earn her own income. This a lesson for all women, especially modern women of today.

I really enjoyed this story. It portrayed what many mothers/wives go through – how often we give everything of ourselves to our families, friends, jobs and lose a bit of ourself in the process. This story tugged at my heart – I could feel what each character was feeling and just wanted to help make it all better. Julie and Micheal had a great start to their married life – twin girls, a son… but when death takes someone from our life at an unexpected time, it is hard to pretend that things were okay before the death and that they can go on after. The family each has their own grief and guilt to work through… but it is even more than that. It is realizing that letting go, giving space, and finding yourself is what keeps you together.

I normally don’t read vampire romances, but a reading challenge prompted me to broaden my horizons, and I ended up unexpectedly enjoying Dawnbreaker. Chronicling the challenges of Niamh, the author expertly combines a magical world with the real world, and trials and tribulations of standing up to blood family versus a family she loves. Her love and counterpart, released vampire Connor, is likable because of turning his whole live into protecting his true love.
One outstanding feature of the book is Thorne’s ability to succinctly describe even the minor characters in the book, making it feel as you are part of the world Niamh is creating for herself.
My only hope is there is a sequel planned, because I felt the ending was lacking, and very much appears to set up for a sequel. I also enjoyed the author’s inclusion of the music playlist at the end of the book, music being a central theme interwoven throughout the book.

I have been waiting for this one…only to devour it in less than 24 hours. And then I might have thrown a temper tantrum because now I must wait (again) for Savage Truth, but I digress.
Riley returns to California and to an unsuspecting Cole at the beginning of a new school year. We are treated to plenty of drama and a bit of suspense as we try to figure out who is lying and where the truth does lie.
Friendships are formed. Allegiances are somewhat formed. Enemy lines are drawn, I mean this is high school and there must be a mean girl and some bullying, right?
Cole and Riley are beginning to suspect that not all has been black and white in their world and secrets may start unraveling.

Dr Enstein has tunnel vision. He has always had an agenda for his life. Well at least since the traumatic event when he was a child. When he was presented to run his own trauma center at the local hospital he jumps on it. While out with his co-workers he encounters Barbara the bartender. Dr. Enstein first meeting with Barbara did not go well. He was rude and at the 2nd encounter with her he starts to feel bad. As time goes on he realizes while he cannot personally help Barbara his old partner could. As time goes on, he realizes he has fallen for Barbara and she is what he wants.
As I read this story, my heart broke for not only the kid but the man he had become. I could only imagine how traumatized any one would be. The author pulls on your heart with trauma, love, and determination. Teaches you not to judge someone by their appearance.
