This was a really fun book with beautifully engaging illustrations. I read this book with my 3 year old and he seemed to really enjoy it. I have to admit I did struggle to read it out loud at times with the way in which it was written but it was the perfect language for the story about piggy pirate school! The pig character names were funny. I loved the for older children you could really use this book as a talking point about how we need to have patience and wait for things. Overall an engaging and fun read with beautiful, colourful illustrations!

It’s been a while since I read a book by this author so I was really excited to see a new release from her and didn’t hesitate to grab a copy. It was everything I expected a really great read with a lot of mystery that makes you try and solve what is going on with the characters. I really love this authors writing, I find she creates really engaging storyline and her attention to detail means I get to know her characters really well. I liked Delilah, she was a fun character to read about and I am definitely looking forward to reading more about her in the next book in this new cozy mystery series!
As always a great educational read from this author! I really enjoy reading her books as they are such great short stories that are full of great information for children. I always love the activities she includes at the end of the books and in the case of this one it was how to make a bees nest. I think there are some great talking points in this book for children and would make a great addition to schools if they are doing a topic which includes learning about bees. Another great children’s book from this author!
Wow! What a book. I don’t think it is over for Elizabeth and Lila. The whole thing had been going on for too long for it just to be over now. But I guess we will see in the next one.
Elizabeth Benoit, County Sheriff, is haunted by the deaths of her friends. When the anniversary is recognized by another young girl turning up dead in a similar fashion, Elizabeth must confront the ghosts of the past and the evils of the present. The only problem is that she is laid up because of recent emergency surgery and the lead detective has declared that half the sheriff’s department can’t be involved in the investigation due to close ties to the original victims.
Enter Lila Dayne. Recent transplant to the area and the Deputy Detective in charge of the case. As much as she needs to maintain the departmental distance from the current case, the players are too interwoven. Lila has to overcome her own demons to successfully solve this case. As Lila and Elizabeth race against the clock and unseen players to keep loved ones safe, the realization that those loved ones just might be the bad guys sets in. Will they lose everything and everyone as they work to put a stop to the evil haunting the county since they were kids?
Once you figure out all the players, the action and pace keeps you on the edge of your seat and pages turning. Kept secrets and promised threats keep these two finding twists and turns, never knowing who they can trust. Will finding the killer bring everything to a conclusion? We don’t know. So many questions were answered, some many secrets uncovered, but was everything and all the players?? Looking forward to the next installment to find out!! Great read!

Young Loretta is bringing an armful of firewood into the house when a round tube with holes drops out of the center of the logs. She is told that it is a leafcutter bee nest and that leafcutter bees are better than honey bees for pollinating plants. Loretta is told to put the nest back in the woodpile outside so the bees can find it. Loretta keeps an eye on the bee nest and discovers more holes appearing in it but cannot see any bees.
As the weather warms up outside, she also notices that there are holes in the leaves of the rose bushes, but she still sees no bees. It comes as a complete surprise to Loretta when she finally discovers where the bees have gotten to.
I absolutely adored this book and feel that it is the best one that I have read so far by this author. The illustrations were beautiful and really helped to bring the story to life. Although this book was geared for children, I walked away with knowledge about leafcutter bees that I did not previously know. I had no idea that they were better than honey bees for pollinating gardens. I loved that the author included instructions for building your own leafcutter bees’ nest so that you can attract more bees to your yard. I am anxious to build one with my young nieces and put them in our yards. A must read for all ages!

This book was a page turner. Dominic and Julianna are young lovers, forbidden to see each other. After a romantic evening turned to an argument, Dominic leaves and Julianna disappears. Dominic is accused of her disappearance and murder. After a year and a half, Dominic is acquitted of the charges and begins a new life, fueled by revenge. His life is turned on axis again when he sees Whitney, Julianna’s doppelganger. This romance is full of dark romance and BDSM scenarios. The plot takes many twists and turns, as we learn that Whitney didn’t just cross paths with Dominic, she has a purpose: Julianna. This book had me hooked from beginning to end; although some parts of Whitney’s life go unanswered, I enjoyed reading and would recommend this book.

I enjoyed this romance. It is sent in a time in the past and I enjoyed how the author gives us a background to the time and place the story is set. This is a romance story and it’s very unique. This story is about Lovely Jo and Dusty.
Lovely Jo works as a maid for a well respected family in the town. When the man of the house turns up dead Lovely Jo is the number one suspect. Now she needs to run for her life and the person she runs to is Dusty.
Dusty is a widower who is up to eyes in debt. He is struggling to survive on his ranch after losing his wife. When Lovely Jo arrives pleading for his help he is tempted to turn her in for the bounty on her head. But things aren’t that simple. Their are feelings between Lovely Jo and Dusty that have never been allowed to be explored until now. Could this be a sad story? Will they finally find love and happiness just to have it cruelly ripped away from them? Is Lovely Jo guilty of murder?

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books. They are well written and the author uses details to make them come to life. This book is no different. This is a shorter cowboy romance story that packs a punch. There is alot going on in a short amount of time but the author did such a great job of keeping it flowing. I enjoyed the steamy cowboy and other characters in the story. They are relatable, strong and unique characters that brought so much to the story. I enjoyed watching their chemistry and growth throughout the story. I read this book in one sitting as it is that good and one you don’t want to miss. A fast paced romance story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Anise does it again. A totally unexpected spin on another amazing angst filled romance. Dominic, Juliana, and Whitney are all amazing characters and they are perfect for the storyline. I was hanging on for dear life with this one. Lots of amazing twists and turns, highs and lows. Revenge is the goal and one I wasnt sure could be accomplished. As always a romance novel with Anise Storm’s name is one you should read no question there. She writes a tale that makes you feel as if you are there, and you can’t help but buckle in and enjoy the ride right to the very end. I was up all night reading this book because I couldn’t put it down!

This author writes very interesting stories with usually a twist. I found this one to the same. This time period is one that doesn’t usually support the BWWM. Dusty and Lovely Jo are a rare combination that come together. I found the story one that really kept me intrigued and I couldn’t put it down. I had to know what was going to happen. The characters were wonderful. The story is well written, as usual. The author always does a wonderful job of trying to make it as historically accurate as possible. You can almost feel that you are right there. A quick romance to devour.

This book is completely different from what I normally read but I wanted a palate cleanser, so to speak. Plus, it is a boxed set and I am a sucker for series and collections. Let’s start this by saying that this collection will take you on an incredible journey that flows really well from book to book. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this but I was so pleasantly surprised by the way the author took certain aspects of everyday ideas and used them to give you a different view into things or to expand what you already thought you knew. It was a fresh take on things like spirituality, time travel, wisdoms of the world, connections through multiverses, and character development through each book while maintaining mysterious twists and turns. Since, I am not the most educated in Sci Fi, I was not sure how easily I would be able to follow the books or be able to get into the story. It is amazing how the author makes it easy for readers like me to follow along and get just as swept up into the story as if this genre was my normal go to genre. I was intimidated at first because I felt like there was going to be a lot of things that I would have to keep going back to read over just to make sure I don’t forget anything. That is not the case with this collection. The way the author makes sure that things are intricately written but yet in laymen terms make the books even better, in my opinion. I was able to visualize the creativity of the authors words and actually feel what the characters were feeling. This collection has inspired me to read more Sci Fi because I thoroughly enjoyed them. I feel like if you are just starting in Sci Fi or been around reading it for a while this collection would be a great to add.

Short and sweet read. I feel like there could have been more, more in regards to the relationship between Dusty and Lovely Jo. It seems like the book jumps into the middle of a story and we are missing the build of all the relationships in the book. I appreciate Dusty’s character wanting to do what is right. He is a man after all, but holds himself back until Lovely Jo is ready to move forward. He appears to be different than most white men at that time and I like reading about the men who would cherish, love and protect a black woman in a very diverse world.

I can not wait to see what comes next! I have read many high school bully romances and none of them have left me craving more as much as this book has. I already have a feeling about what could transpire between Riley, Cole and Damon. I have a strong feeling the three are going to be in a strong desire and hate relationship at first and I can’t wait to see it all unfold.
Short but intense This novella introduces Cole and Riley and gives a bit of their background. There are hints of what is to come – family toxicity, romance, bullying and some darker themes. It is a very short taster of the Hidden Valley Elite series and I can’t wait to read more.

Sizzle, heat & steam This contemporary romance, with a dash of paranormal, follows Dominic and Whitney as they navigate demons from the past and danger in the present. This is a well written book but it did feel a little repetitive at times. Besides these little bumps the book had a strong engaging storyline and a helluva lot of steam. Recommend.

Book 1 was Amazing! Book 2 was Amazing x2! Can’t wait to read Book 3. I’ve gotta say I fell in love with Austin in book 1. Of course I had to read book 2 and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The chemistry between Austin & Casey is magnetic. Austin has been drawn to her since book 1 but he allows Mavis to cloud his judgement. I love how the author has several love stories going at once. So we get to see a continuation of book 1, of course we get Austin & Casey’s story, and a look at what book 3 will be about with Lauren. Overall a great read. Super steamy. I couldn’t put it down.

Half-Pint Porky is absolutely adorable and fun. As with anything exciting you wait for she’s impatient for pirate school because it’s her first time at big kid pirate school plus her siblings will be there. Unable to wait to go, but frightened when it’s time Half-Pint Porky has a lot to learn. Cute story made to teach valuable lessons to our own little Porkys. A story that teaches kids in the most positive abs fun way. Big lessons in learning to be patient, and being confidence.
Beautiful illustrations and hilarious pirate banter will have any kid ready to read.

Is this widower cowboy prepared for the feelings stirred up by this much-younger feisty maid running from the law?
When 40-year-old cowboy Dusty returns to his ranch in small-town Clear Creek County, he is shocked to find 19-year-old, beautiful black servant Lovely Jo hiding in his stables. She explains how she ran off after finding the master of her household, dead. She swears she’s innocent, but needing money to save his ranch, Dusty tries to take her to the Sheriff to claim the bounty for her return.
Desperate with her life on the line, Lovely Jo promises Dusty the one thing she has in her possession if he’d help her escape town: her virtue.

If you are like me and love a detailed story then this book of for you. The author doesn’t skip over even the smallest of details making the picture form that much more clearly. This cute (yes, I know cute is an interesting word to use to describe crime) mystery is full of drama, intrigue, fun and charm. This was my first book by this author and they did not disappoint. I felt the both the storyline and the characters were very well developed and complementary toward each other. While this was a fairly quick read I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Savage Start is the prequel to the Hidden Valley Elite series and debut novel by Isla Vaughn. It is a very short (50pgs) story that gives a very small taste of what to expect from the rest of the series. It made for an intriguing, quick and easy read. I read it in well under an hour. This is a New Adult (High School) bully romance, although there was very little in the way of romance, bullying, or really much else- as this basically just lays the ground-work for the next instalment/s, giving cause as to why the bullying/enemies to lovers/ angst/ and emotion aspect of the story arises- which I imagine will come in the next instalment/s. The ‘Elites’ are the top of the food chain at the Hidden Valley Elite high school. They are brothers Cole and Damon and their cousins, twin brothers Phoenix and Shane. They are their high schools football stars and every girls wet dream- and they know it. I guess as the series goes on, each of the elites will get their own book/s. This prequel sets us up for Cole and Riley’s story, which is set to continue in the next TWO books- “Savage Lies” (Book #1) and “Savage Truth” (Book #2). This book depicts a toxic family environment, with parental conflict/cheating/yelling matches etc- as well as suicide- darker topics- so this may be triggering for some readers. It ends on a cliffhanger and the story continues in the next book. Happy Reading…

This quick read gave just enough information for me to be interested in reading the next book in the series in order to find out what happens. Riley and her mother move from town to town…conning their way to survive. They have recently arrived in Santa Monica and her mom promises her that this time will be different. Feeling wary of her mother’s promises, Riley finds herself gathering information and storing it away…just in case. However, a kiss from a stranger puts a wrench in her plans. Cole is caught between enjoying his life as a junior in high school and taking care of his mother’s emotional well-being. He often finds himself comforting his mother while his father is out of town. While at a party, he finds a stranger wandering around…and catches her stealing. Who is this stranger? This story was easy to read in one sitting. The reader gets some good back story and character development. It leaves you with lots of questions that, presumably, will be answered and addressed in the series. Both of these characters seems to have a lot more going on than they let the world see…and I am intrigued as to how their stories will progress!
This is the first book I have read by Isla Vaughn and though it was very short, being the prequel of a new series, I am hooked. It only took me about 2 hours or so to finish. The world the author creates is a very realistic one, the characters feel raw and real in their reactions to things. With a dual perspective of Riley and Cole, Savage Start sets off a whirlwind to come. Riley is new to Santa Monica, along with her mother they have been running from city to city, from character to character since Riley was a year old. Always running from her father never safe until now, or so her mother claims. Cole is a local Elite of Hidden Valley Academy, along with his younger brother and two cousins. Cole’s life seems perfect on the surface, but the façade hides his crumbling family led by his father’s indiscretions. New to the city and a day of travel Riley finds herself walking on the beach before coming up on a house party. Allowing herself a few moments to do a “normal” teen activity she sneaks inside only to get caught stealing. The mystery man disarms her defenses stealing an epic kiss before she flees, but every moment her mind is consumed with fantasies of the kiss and the first guy to ever make her feel the dagger of desire. Is Riley and her mother finally safe? Will the promises she makes come true? Will Cole’s brother ever learn the truth behind their mother’s mental decline? The author is beyond amazing, and I have already got my calendar marked for the release of book 1 in Riley and Cole duet, Savage Lies, March 30th, 2023, I can’t wait to read more about these characters and see where their story leads. The second book Savage Truth, April 27th, 2023, is the conclusion of Riley and Cole’s story with a happy ever after. I can’t wait to go on their journey with them.
What a twisted story! But let me tell you how much I loved it!! I read it straight through and couldn’t put it down. There’s a lot going on in Absolution with some twists and turns. Especially emotional ones. The author doesn’t let up at all. Putting the reader through the ringer. At the same time making you fall in love with the characters as well. I figured the two big twists out before reveal but it was worth the mystery and suspense of it all. If you don’t mind spice and you can look past it to get to the meat of the story, you’ll be hooked. The spice is just an added bonus. You’ll be the one trying to solve the mystery and get closure. You’ll be emotionally invested that you will need to finish. That you will want to know if you’re right or wrong. It’s the challenge of figuring out the puzzle that keeps one glued to the pages. Whitney has an uncanny resemblance to Dominic’s ex-girlfriend Juliana. So uncanny he thinks she’s here back to torment him. Her family put him through the ringer when she disappeared and now he was prepared to get his revenge. Which means she must be here to disrupt his plans. It’s too much of a coincidence. Whitney on the other hand, at Juliana’s insistence, is the only one who will be able to bring him closure. It’s just a matter of how? Especially when Dominic loathes her, for someone he believes she is. I drew a lot of comparisons when reading this story. For one spicy romance, which meets Count of Monte Cristo revenge, sprinkled in with a supernatural element. If that does intrigue you, I don’t know what will. My parting words for anyone who comes across this book. READ IT! And TRUST me when I say, you won’t be disappointed.

This was a really good read! I was pleasantly surprised while reading this, not only because I wasn’t sure what to expect but also because this was a short novella, at only 55 pages. For only 55 pages this author packed a lot of story and content in this novella! This left off on a cliff hanger and there might be a TW for death/suicide if that is a trigger for anyone. But the ending and just the story in general has left me very eager to read the first book in this series! Kudos to the author for a great lead-up story!
Very fast quick read that I couldn’t put down. Riley moving back and forth with her mom changing her appearance in each city. Damon and Cole are dealing with there mom who has mental health problems. A father who is unfaithful. Cole and Riley meet at a party and instant attraction.
This book gave me so much for being a short quick read. I experienced many emotions in this must read prequel. There are some twists and turns. The author gave me enough to sink my teeth into and left me wanting more. I am on the edge of my seat waiting until I can read what this series is going to reveal to us. I can’t wait to find out more about Cole and Riley and hopefully other characters as well. This author pulled me into this story and has me completely enmeshed. I highly recommend this book.
My kids and I ( 6 and 8 years old) really enjoy reading books by Lois Wickstrom. Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet was a great addition to our kindle collection. I always enjoy learning from this author in the form of a fun storyline. Tonight’s theme was obviously bees. While it was great for our home library, I think it would be a good addition to any elementary school class as well. I really enjoyed the illustrations too but my FAVORITE part is the activity included after the story itself.
This is an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable read for young and old alike! With a creative and fun storyline it is not to be missed. The Illustrations are so bright, colourful and captivating they compliment the storyline perfectly.
