Grace Under Fire (The Anderson Sisters Book 2) by Jennifer Raines – Review by M Policicchio

Grace Under Fire (The Anderson Sisters Book 2)Grace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grace Anderson has spent her entire life knowing that she was going to eventually run the family farm. Grace has started to slowly make it her own by adding handmade cheeses. As her future is drawing closer, things begin to change. First was her sister’s death. Next was the custody battle for her niece. Now is her mother’s health. And for the cherry on the top, her next door neighbor that ran after the death of her best friend, his brother, 8 years ago came home. Grace manages to successfully avoid him at all the local functions, except for a hello. As the changes mount, Grace is finding that she needs him more than ever, but she doesn’t want to.

Ryan Wilson couldn’t stay in that small town that killed his brother. He had to escape. Now, he is back. Unfortunately the one person that he didn’t mean to leave behind won’t talk to him so he can explain. Grace Anderson was just a teen when he left but now she is all woman. A fiercely independent woman that lets him know it. Ryan has given up on love and relationships but is finding that Grace is drawing out all kinds of feelings from him, not just the memories of his brother. When someone starts trying to ruin Grace’s plan to buy her family farm by harming the land and putting Grace in danger, Ryan feels the pull towards his farm and a need to protect Grace. Can he do both without losing Grace?

The author takes you on another emotional ride with this family. Grace’s deeply ingrained independent streak is partially from her father and partially from surviving the schemes of those that seem to be out to get her family. This independent streak causes problems for Grace as she tries to pursue a relationship with Ryan and find a way to make her dreams come true. If Grace could only learn to think before she pops off like a firecracker, she might not have to repair the damage her mouth leaves. This was an excellent duet. I brought my Aussie to American dictionary back out a couple of times but it was worth it. I am sad that there are no more sisters.

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite Prequel) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Shannon Fowler

Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite PrequelSavage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Here is a quick read. A new series from a new to me author. It is supposed to be an enemies to lovers, high school bullying type of romance. I can feel the connection between Riley and Cole. However, this prequel begins with Riley and her mother.

Riley lives with her mom and we get the feeling that life has not been fair or easy for these two. They have a life of petty crime, and it seems it is mostly stealing and overall being dishonest. However, this is left to readers’ discretion as nothing was really given away, more of a teaser for this part of the story.

Riley and her mother have a different place to live yearly or more often, and it appears they are on the run from dear ol’ dad who sounds like he would be vicious and violent. Again, just a tease of this situation so the reader is left to wonder and speculate.

Cole is the all-American boy next door, Mr. Popularity at school. He goes to high school with his cousins and his brother. On the outside he has it all. Especially money. But even having money causes and creates problems. Money doesn’t buy love. Some even believe money can’t buy happiness. I guess it depends on what makes you happy. Cole’s parents are not happy. Is money the root of their problems? Doesn’t seem like it. Implications that dad is having an affair, implications that mom may have mental issues. Again, just a tease of this situation as well.

This story is a prequel that ends in a cliff hanger and looks to what will be a good series. Looking forward to reading more and discovering just what is going on.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fantastic book that, for me, was all about the characters. Dean and Rae are such strong and brilliant characters. Despite their turbulent start they really were very well matched. They both had a certain passion and you could feel the chemistry between them on each and every page.
But it wasn’t just the characters that stood out. The author has also written a brilliant book that compliments them. I found it engaging and could not put the book down once I had started reading it. There are ups and down and it really made the book interesting to read. If this is the first book in the series I can’t wait to see what is next.

Savage Start was fantastic! The novella introduces us two teens, Riley and Cole who come from two very different back rounds; trying to live their lives. When Riley shows up at a party thrown by Cole’s cousin, she is confronted by Cole and they share a kiss.
This fast-paced novella is short, with well-written characters. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to continuing the series.

I am really enjoying this series. While the 2nd book it can be read as a standalone.
Evan and Kayla are business partners but what happens when they’re paired in Blind Date?
I love the idea of an actual blind date, where you get to know the other person for who they are without the worry of superficial things like looks, body type etc being the first thing to notice and dismiss or gravitate towards.
I loved these two and how this story unfolded, grabbed me from the start.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read several books by this author and have not been disappointed yet! I absolutely love the easy writing style and character depth. The fact that this is a paranormal fantasy definitely was a plus. Zoe has been taught that all of the monsters came from the mist and that all of them are bad. She was born into this world and never knew life before the portals opened. As she gets older it is time for her to go to the academy to learn to use magic but can she really trust what she is being taught? As she begins to question everything she has ever known after a chance meeting in the woods she will learn some hard truths. Zoe can’t help but wonder if she will ever find where she belongs. This was such a great read and I would love to read more of Zoe’s story!

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the sixth book in a series. I would highly recommend reading the series in order. Of all the books, this one is the only one that could possibly work as a stand alone. Whereas the rest of the series is about Cam, Freyja, and other main characters, this book is about their daughters Caitlin and Seraphina. I have read all of the other books and really enjoyed this follow up book about the daughters who are all grown up. We get to see how life has progressed on earth and the effects worldwide. I think because this book was about young people there was more language than in other books. Caitlin is very much a brat and highly intelligent and struggling to figure out where she fits in. I loved the story and recommend reading the entire series along with this book!

My Inner Critic by Christine Bernard – Review by Kerry Carr

My Inner CriticMy Inner Critic by Christine Bernard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this a really interesting read. I liked who the author found the courage to tell her story even through a fictional world. Her story is one of self discovery and finding self love which is very powerful. It was also emotional to read about her struggles with anxiety and how that has bothered her all of her life not just in childhood. I found that really reassuring as a person who also struggles with anxiety. It allowed me to feel like I wasn’t abnormal for still being this way into adulthood.
I found this story very emotional in parts due to being able to relate to it perfectly. Sometimes it was like the author was talking about me and my life.
The author’s writing is beautiful and the story is written in a very open and honest way which I loved. Even though fictional characters and storyline the author’s struggles and journey shone through. It was an inspirational read. And I found it comforting to know that I wasn’t the only one still struggling with anxiety even though I’m an adult.

This prequel did exactly what a prequel is supposed tot do…. it gave you a taste of what’s to come.

The author did a superb job in drawing you in and made me fall in love with the characters immediately. The story drew me in from the start and immediately captured my interest and left me wanting more. EXACTLY WHAT A PREQUEL IS SUPPOSED TO DO.

The release of book 1 can’t come soon enough!

 

The author knows her stuff! She starts off by giving you little bites of back story and insights into why the characters are the way they are. I’ve already added the first book to my TBR and I’m counting off the days to release day

This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed reading their suspenseful romance story. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. A story where there murder and a woman who has been haunting dreams for a while. There are twists and turns that you don;t want to miss. They had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. This is a well written story where the characters pull you into their world and keep me coming back for more. There is great growth of the plot throughout which makes the story easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her writing skills that bring her stories to life. They are engaging and hard to put down. This book is no different. I enjoyed reading this book. This is a story about Zoe and how everything she ever learned minus one thing and that is love. She is faced with making a choice of family or romance. What happens with Zoe you don’t want to miss. This is such a great story and great characters. They are strong, creative and supportive of each other. I enjoyed how they brought the story to life and had me coming back for more. They added so much to the story that it made it entertaining and easy to read. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved this book! I read this in one day, I was so hooked and invested in the story and the angst was real! My heart was hurting so much and I just wanted to shake Dean so much! There were times where Dean and Rae really irked me, I felt like at some points Rae was too pushy and then at other points Dean was too distrustful and because of that he acted like a total tool. I know Rae was doing all she did for his own good, but it felt rushed since they had literally only known each other for a minute. Dean’s employees, well actually only Gayle, she really got on my nerves. I hate how people kept getting into their business, he is a grown man and can make his own decisions you do not need to interfere unless he asks. I guess he was just insecure with who Rae’s best friend is and how his previous relationship turned out so I’ll give him that, but man, this was one of those books where you wanted to scream at the characters to just sit down and talk and listen to each other. Really excellently written book.

Cry Baby is the fourth book in the Pierce Brothers series and is a Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no putting it down until you’ve finished.

This is Noah and Amy’s story, His best friend has suddenly passed away and Noah finds himself the guardian of his baby girl. Amy is a nanny who offers to help him put but finds she’s super attracted to him. Noah is determined to track down the baby’s real dad. Can these two fight their attraction?

Faiza had been bargained away to Master O by her parents and is a servant in his household. When she learns the evil mage plans to use Hagan to conquer all the races she devises a plan to free him. Will her plan be successful? Will Hagan get his happily ever after? This book is outside the genre I normally read but it did keep my attention. I haven’t read any other books by this author but I will definitely be reading the others in this series.

I didn’t love the way JCee was treated through most of the book, but that changed by the end. The romance between Mora & Darin is a whirlwind & the best part of the whole book.

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Cry Baby is the fourth and final book in the Pierce Brothers series by Belinda Williams. This book gave me some mixed feeling as I was both excited to finally get Noah’s story, but also a little sad to know that it is also the last book in the series and I’m not sure I’m ready to leave the Pierce’s and say goodbye.
Having loved all of Belinda Williams other books, and the other three books in this series, I was excited to have this land on my Kindle. The Pierce Brothers have pulled me into their lives right from the beginning, and I have loved my time getting to know them. This final book belongs to Noah Pierce, and I think Ms. Williams definitely save the best till last.
Noah has been thrown for a loop with the death of his best friend- suddenly becoming guardian to her baby girl. Noah has always been better with numbers, than he has with people. What’s he supposed to do, or know about parenting? He’s not cut out to be a father. Is he? And so enters Amy- the live-in nanny, here to care for the baby. Her sassy sunny nature brings light and balance to his grumpy brooding world. They can keep things professional. Can’t they? You’ll need to read this slow-burn romantic comedy for yourself to find out how everything plays out in the end. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
This was such a fun read. One of my favourite tropes too- falling for the boss/falling for the nanny- with plenty of humour, banter, chemistry, tension, emotion, angst, and sparks to keep things interesting.
Another captivating story in this superb series! Can’t wait to see what Ms. Williams has in store for us next!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Belinda Williams!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series was a very unique and interesting read. The overall theme of connection and how we are all inter-connected really spoke to me and, made me think of how our past, present, and future all connect. I was very intrigued by the different story lines and how each of the characters developed their true selves through meditation. This series secretly brings the connection of each character through time and uniquely shows how each person has a role to play and their decisions make a big impact to everyone around them! I really enjoyed reading this series and found myself asking so many in-depth questions which ultimately were answered throughout this journey! I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy, adventure, sci fi and a unique story line that shows how self discovery enhances ones true self; thereby bringing the best version of themselves to help society at large!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well I was not expecting this book to be as dark as it was. Not in a bad way either. The story follows Troy as he has to come to terms with some evil in his life. Not only the evil at home but childhood bullies he now works with. Add in a crazy ex girlfriend turned stalker and you have a wonderful crime story!

Troy battles his own demons after seeing a crime at the hands of his father. After working with his childhood bullies and hearing what they do in chatrooms to various men he plots a plan of revenge. All while taking care of his father that he is keeping alive because of a threat he grew up with.

This book was hard to put down once I started it because it sucks you in from the very beginning! I love crime novels and this one was not a disappointment at all! In fact I was expecting a different ending!

This story has several different twists that were perfect for the storyline and this won’t be the last book from this author I read.

Evan: A Steamy Billionaire Workplace Contemporary Romance (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 2)

It has been a while since I have finished a book as quickly as I finished this one since life has been so crazy for me but this is one I had to get finished to find out what was going to happen next.

Kayla’s restaurant business is taking off and things are going well, until they aren’t. Evan tries to be her knight when things get bad.

Evan like most of the guys is genuinely a good guy, but things are definitely trying for him. His first two dates are disasters and it makes him reluctant to go on the third understandably.

I really enjoyed reading this book and the series so far. I’m looking for to all of the remaining books, but none as much as Luke’s story there is something going on there and I can’t wait to find out what it is.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates #1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading the blurb I had to pick this book up. The idea of a dating app and then an actual blind date in the dark is such a great idea. Just think how much this could help people get to know one another and grow without it just being about physical attraction, wealth, or status.

This is the first book in the Billionaire Blind Dates Series by Toni Denise. In this book we meet a group of best-friend billionaires that want to help their friend Jake find romance, because his latest relationship turned out to be another gold digger situation. So what better way to meet someone than on an anonymous app where you can talk and later meet in a dark restaurant so your identity, financial status, and even looks are hidden?This is how Jake meets Lauren.

Lauren, a secretary to a CEO, gets convinced by her friend Catherine to try this Blind Date experience. Though hesitant, she finally agrees to the blind date experience with one main condition: that the person she matches with has a similar financial status as her, because she has seen how her mom dated wealthy men and was deemed a gold digger. Will it matter when Lauren finds out she is actually dating a billionaire, or will the amazing chemistry these two share be enough to overcome?

I really loved seeing how these well written characters seemed so real that I became invested in their story. This is a fun, fast read that flows really well and I can’t wait to see which member of the friend group is up next to find love.

This was a good four star read. This is a little different from the genre that I normally read but I’m glad I read it. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. This was a good start to the series and I can’t wait to read more. The characters were great. My heart went out to Anna and I only wanted to see her happy. I love horses so that was a bonus as well. We get action, adventure, steaminess and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. If you’re looking for a good historical fantasy romance this is the book for you 1-click and get started today.
