The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 1) by Rowan Rossler
Genre – Sports Romance
Page Count – 311

Chavez Delgado should come with a warning label: Caution explosive material. A volatile tennis prodigy once tipped to win majors, this wildly unpredictable fan favorite never quite lived up to all the hype. So when he leaves the tennis tour without explanation during the best year of his career, no one expects him to grind out a comeback on the second-tier Challenger circuit eight months later.

I’ve met my share of hot messes. Call it collateral damage of being Flynn Dryden—motivational guru to struggling millennials. But I have never met anyone like Chavez. Young and yummy with complications written all over him, he pushes all my right buttons. But when he asks me to join him on tour as his mental fitness coach, I say yes for all the wrong reasons.

As it turns out, we both have unresolved issues.

And playing a game called love puts us both in danger of getting burned.

An unusual anomaly in outer space opened portals. A black mist poured through, bringing something along with it. War fell upon the human race.

About C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche. Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time. To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger. People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years. I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different. I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference. Fast forward to today… I am an award-winning & USA Today Bestselling Author with over 50 books available across multiple fantasy sub-genres.

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind. I love a good rock star romance but this book exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the amazing Balefire series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this book as well. I was so excited to get this book I stopped everything and started this book right away. I could not put this book down until the end. I can’t wait to see who she will write about next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a well written book! I cannot wait to read the rest of this series! I was sucked in by this story from the very beginning. There is so much chemistry between Dean and Rae. I love that she is quick witted and doesn’t pull any punches, she speaks her mind and Dean is easily drawn in by her. He is charismatic and a tad bit sad if I’m being honest. These characters are definitely relatable, as I have been through my own share of heartbreak and trust issues, honestly, who hasn’t experienced that at one point in life or another?

I’m excited to see what this new author brings and I know if there as good as this the. I will not be disappointed.

Grace Under FireGrace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great small town romance between old neighbors. Watching the two main characters discover a new path forward was enjoyable. I read the book in a single setting. I didn’t want to put it down.

Grace has plans to take over her family’s farm in a decade, but with her mother’s help deteriorating her time has just dramatically shrunk to 3 months. Not nearly as much time as she was counting on to be able to buy the farm from her folks. Another hardship tacked onto her life that has already had a fair share of them from losing her best friend to suicide as a teenager to watching her father get swindle from prime farm pand.

Ryan, who believes he failed his younger brother by not preventing his death, has moved on from the town. In that time away he has made a business of flipping farm properties. He has no attachment to land or to people. It is that reason he is back to sell his mother’s farm.

Grace was his neighbor and his brother’s best friend before he died. With hard ballers and sabotage being thrown at them will the past they share bring them closer together? Will they both be able to work through their own issues from mistrust and abandonment to being haunted by tragedy? Will Grace be able to achieve her goal of buying the family farm?

Pick up the book to find out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hands down one of THE BEST Psychological Thriller story I have read in a very long time. This gave me all the feels……..my heart palpitating, edge of my seat trying to figure out what comes next!!

When grief hits Jacklyn with her husbands death, she is trying to get through each day just to survive. When her two children, Dusty and Rose, recommend a retreat lodge to help Jacklyn with her grief, the ultimate betrayal happens. Greed and money is all it takes to commit Jacklyn to Shore Lodge…and it locks her down finding out it is a psychiatric facility, not just a retreat. When Jacklyn starts to slowly put the pieces together of this betrayal and fights for her freedom and life…will she succeed or just succumb to being a patient at Shore Lodge forever?

I have never disliked a character as much as I did Dusty in this book….wow…a piece of work is all I can say without giving any spoilers. I loved Jacklyn in this story, such a fighter as well as Buddy the beagle (my heart)….

If you are looking for a psychological thriller that totally engrosses you and a story you cannot put down….I HIGHLY recommend this book!!!

True Colors (Landry’s True Colors Series Book One) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Rosanna Ingram

True Colors (Landry's True Colors #1)True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Remember, back in middle school, where the popular girl was the one who always had an interesting story or event to talk about?!? That’s who Landry wants to be. So, when she gets chosen to move forward in a modeling competition, she thinks this could be the start of that journey. But, her “best friends” alienate her and she doesn’t understand why. She tries making new friends, but it seems like everyone has their own group of friends and she isn’t quite sure where she fits in. Throw in some boy drama and you’ve got middle school in a book!

This was almost like reading the diary of almost any middle school girl. It was well written and dealt with the issues that teen girls everywhere face…friendships, jealousy, conforming to feel accepted, boys, and finding where you fit it. I was transported back in time as I read it. I loved Landry’s character. She went through quite a bit…and I believe she found herself along the way. I’m interested in seeing what happens in the next book.

True Colors (Landry's True Colors #1)True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a good 5 star read. I felt like I was reliving some of the things my teen daughter encountered when she was in school. The author does a great job with her writing and makes you feel like you are right there in the story feeling everything that Landry was. To go from being part of the group and having jealousy rear its ugly head causing her to be ostracized by her supposed friends was heartbreaking.
Overall this was a great read and I would suggest young teens to read this. My emotions were all over the place with the things she would go through and how she was treated. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

True Colors (Landry's True Colors #1)True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So let’s talk about nostalgia! I mean come on, every girl that was in middle school had to deal with drama at one point in time. I found that even though True Colors was a novel more geared towards the middle school aged audiences, I still found it entertaining. I found myself able to read the book quite easily as an adult who hasn’t been in middle school for a very long time! The author did a good job of touching on many of the topics that middle school girls go through on a daily basis! There were mentions of the trials of friendships, of course self esteem issues, bullying, we can’t forget the notorious gossiping, and of course trying to find your way through middle school and preparing for high school, oh yes and I almost forgot… boys! I personally do believe that this is a well written novel that many pre teen and teenage girls would enjoy reading. The book was not overly long, and was written on a level that they would be able to understand. Great job to the author for making such an age appropriate, entertaining book for the younger generations of females.

Caspian gets unusual gifts from his grandfather, of course, they’re never what they appear to be. I love the imagination the author has in creating these books! Something so innocuous as socks can be great fun with just a little imagination. The illustrations are straightforward and make the story easy to follow and visualize. Whimsical and fun, this story has magical elements that are sure to inspire young minds!

True Colors (Landry's True Colors #1)True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is such a good book for young girls in middle school.
Landry goes thru losing/gaining/losing/gaining friendships over the course of the school year. Also while navigating having parents living apart and the start of a modeling career as well.

Landry shows grace and how hard it is to navigate that awkward age of 13/14. I thought the author did a wonderful job in the inner monologue along with the characters being super relatable. Middle school is so rough in all aspects and Landry shows that you can make it thru and have various friends groups and even how to handle those when they can’t cross paths with one another.

If my daughter was a little younger I would have her read this book/series because it’s relatable for those navigating the awkward teenage years between middle school and high school.

Straight for the Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery, #3)Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin

While I read this book as a stand-alone, it is book 3 in the series, it it didn’t make or break the story/book for me. This was a titillating suspense/murder story. It provides all of the elements of an amazing murder mystery: unsolved murder case being brought back years later, relationships to the victims, personal vendettas, and the forever sought after twist! This is definitely a strong, ‘can’t put this down’ book.

Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book #1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Angela Hayes

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Manipulator’s War is the first book in the Raurnon Trilogy by Elise Carlson. It is a YA action/adventure fantasy with tests, trials, and challenges- as well as myth, murder, mayhem, assassins, threats, drama, and high stakes.
We meet Raurnon, the non-binary heir to the throne of Tarlah who has to step up and assume the throne when their parents are kidnapped. With war looming, and no one to turn to things take a complicated and dangerous turn. What happens makes for an intriguing adventure story.
Although I found the premise of this story interesting, I just couldn’t find my groove with this story as I found it hard to connect with the character/s, which then made it difficult to immerse myself in the adventure or invest in the outcome of their story. I also found the story quite slow in parts, and because of that I found my attention wandering a lot- and then it continued to lag and drag along the way, on and off, making for a bit of a choppy and somewhat frustrating read for me. I have put this down to this being the author’s debut novel and they were still finding their own writing groove. I think the rest of the series holds a lot of promise and I am curious to see where we go from here.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Elise Carlson!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Fantasia Yu, and I am so excited to read her other work. One of the main things in the synopsis that drew me in was the space pirates and moon planets as I have never read anything with either before. Princess Mora is the first-born princess of Xitlych, and as such she has several obligations that embody her life. Darin is a “criminal”, pilot and the moment Mora first sees him she feels as if all the air in her lungs is gone.
Ten days, Princess Mora has been betrothed to Prince Fidge of Xot, to lead in the way of alliances to be made through the Nexus of Planets. While first impressions of his picture don’t sit well with Mora or her younger sister Pola, seeing him as a rigid geek, or principal look to him. The light in the tunnel for Mora is that she was accepted to the university of her dreams in the Bronze City, far away from Xot and Prince Fidge. After a long day of boring activities and duties Mora wants to see local statues, she has read about when doing her research on the moon planet. Meeting Gota, a local criminal that is often hired as a guide for official purposes due to her knowledge of the terrain and space pirates being afraid of her, Mora sees hope. Being a princess is smothering Mora, she dreams of being free of being a normal person no royal expectations associated to her, and when she meets Darin she has her chance, and she takes it.
Will Mora get to go to university? Can she escape her royal duties and have freedom? What will happen if Darin finds out the truth of her identity? The world created by the author truly is a fantastical one, the descriptions of the worlds, the customs and characters immerse the reader into her world. Being a short read this book was the perfect little escape on a lazy Sunday, I couldn’t put it down and look forward to reading more of the authors work soon.

Landry is a thirteen (going on fourteen) year old girl who just wants to fit in. She wants a modeling career that will make her famous, friends who will be by her side through thick and thin, and something interesting to talk about with her classmates. She has friends who may not be as loyal as she thought. Throughout this book, Landry learns more about herself, meets new friends, and navigates the difficulties of middle school. I really enjoyed this book! I love the characters and the dialogue. I felt the characters were relatable and realistic. One small criticism was the technology in this book. I feel like today’s teens might not communicate in the ways they do in the book. I would definitely recommend this book to middle school, high school, and even adult readers, and I can’t wait to read the next books in this short series.

Grace Under FireGrace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I know nothing about farming, milking, or cheese production. That being the framework for Grace Uncer Fire had me questioning if I would enjoy it. But I took the chance and glad I did. The book was a little slow moving, but it did have a lot of drama that kept the story going. I was a little frustrated by how long it took Grace and Ryan to own their feelings for each other and Danny and the past. I think they didn’t quite realize their own feelings until far too long into the story. And I felt the info surrounding Danny was developed and revealed too slowly. We find out he died. Then much later we learn how. Then much later we learn the circumstances of why. Then nearly at the end, the full feelings and actions that day. So overall I feel like the author drug their feet a little and made the story much longer than needed… but overall I liked it. The characters and the past drama, the closeness of the families, etc were all likeable. I am happy that there is a pre story for Ella- I felt like there was a lot of details from the past hinted. So I look forward to reading Taylor’s law.

Glad those days are gone and makes me wonder how it’s been so long ago. Really good young adult book and coming of age read. And the friendships and the way young girls act to one another…it’s so spot on but also extremely sad. Seeing the way Landry was treated by her so called “friends” all the time actually made me sad and super angry for her. If Landry did something, there was always someone out there jealous of her or someone out there making up lies about her. The young girl bullies is something I can relate too as well. It happens a lot and I feel for Landry. Every time something went well for her, ericka was always there to talk down on her and bashing her behind her back. Making Landry feel like she doesn’t deserve what she’s achieving. Landry made it through a modeling competition but because ericka didn’t make it through, she had to start downplaying Landrys looks. Landry made it second place is this writing competition as well but because it wasn’t first place, ericka had something to say about that too. Friends don’t do that. So even though I really enjoyed this book, it also made me angry. I always say it’s a good book if you can bring out all kinds of emotions! I want to feel it all! So even though it made me mad, I loved it lol.

I was looking for a lighter read to get out of a bit of a reading slump and True Colors caught my attention. The writing and real life scenarios took me right back to middle school with cliques and struggles and oh, so much drama.. I can imagine this would be an incredibly relatable story for the younger audience and for that I would definitely recommend this book. The book was incredibly realistic with characters that felt like they could be in my own life, or could have been me many years ago. I would be curious to read more from this author in the future as well.

A Mountain in the Air: A Trilogy by Laura Koerber – Review by Jenni Bishop

A Mountain in the Air: A TrilogyA Mountain in the Air: A Trilogy by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
A Mountain in the Air trilogy is three books in one. The first two novellas were previously published as Coyote’s Road Trip and Raven Woman’s Tavern. The third is brand new.
Coyote’s Road Trip is a blend of magical realism and set in a dystopian future. It is a short and unique tale as with Laura’s other books along this line. This story touches on the topic of climate change and its effects on the world. The mysterious Coyote Jim is a shapeshifter nature spirit as old as time. He gets up to mischief both good and bad but he is not intentionally malicious or out to hurt others. He has decided it’s time seeking to find and establish a new home. What ensues is truly an interesting road trip.
Raven Woman’s Tavern is set in a future that could well become a reality. This dark tale is a quick read, and I felt the story was a little disjointed and unfinished in some instances. Overall, the premise is interesting and there are a lot of players and different aspects being played out. Raven is not what she seems. She is always around and watches everything. She is all knowing, and all seeing and hands out life and death as she sees fit. But that is only part of the story the rest is about people trying to survive in small town on the fringes and a world that has been ravished and where the militia are the law.
A Mountain in the Air is also a magical realism tale and brings the stories together and to completion where any unresolved questions are answered. This novella as like the other two are set in a near future ravaged by climate change and combines characters connected from both Coyote’s Road Trip and Raven Woman’s Tavern. It is a bit of an emotional tale, a story of being at a liminal space, a transitional space, a “crossroads”, a story of life and death.

~ Forbidden Love Space Romance ~

This is the first book in what I am hoping is going to be a series. If you are looking for a quick, steamy romance, that has a flair of uniqueness to it then you’ve found the right book. The author quickly jumps into the storyline and carries you through what feels like a short-film centered around two moon-princesses. There hasn’t quite been a book like this before, so it was easy to really appreciate the storyline.

The two moon-princess sisters are definitely head-strong, very compassionate, and have minds of their own. Which of course can lead to complications if they are always being told what to do, where to go…and who to love. There are very key characters you will meet, that you will either love, hate, or love to hate. There is quite a bit of sassiness, sarcasm, and definitely some steam. Amidst the tragedy that of course ensues, there is still comedic relief, and an ending you will want to read.

Between the laser guns, moon romance, robots, and space travel this will certainly captivate your interest. You won’t regret giving it a shot!

True Colors (Landry’s True Colors Series Book One) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Rachel Moss

True Colors (Landry's True Colors #1)True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good read! It felt relatable, and was also well written especially for a novel meant for someone younger. Some parts of this story felt a little juvenile to me, I guess because of age difference but it was still enjoyable. The storyline was cast paced so I felt like I read this one fairly quickly. I’ve read books by this author before and this one and enjoyed them all and this was no exception. I highly recommend reading this book, especially young adults.
