An enjoyable and engaging read which although part of a series can be read as a standalone story. Carly Lawson works during the winters as a ski patrol and the summers as a rafting guide. She loves her job and has a new relationship each winter that ends in the spring. Carly also has a secret that she has been keeping for some time. Meanwhile, Chris Markham a downhill ski racer had hopes of making the Olympic team but then he had an accident that left him a paraplegic. However, he is determined to now make it to the Paralympics. When Carly and Chris meet on the slopes at ‘Big Sky Ski Resort’ in Montana they both feel the chemistry between them but are both unsure of starting a relationship. The author took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this heartwarming story, and once I had picked this book up I could not put it down. The narrative flows well and the plot has plenty going on to keep the readers interest.

This is a quick read that encompasses a wonderful faery tale. It is easy to read and enjoyable. It’s been a while since I’ve read a historical romance. I was delighted in being taken back to a different time. The story moves at a fast pace. The character easily drew me in. While I didn’t connect much with the Davenports, the two guys seemed fun and I liked their camaraderie.
Overall for a sweet, fun read..this is your book! Who doesn’t love a little faery tale?

The beginning of this book starts out with a BANG! It literally gave me chills! I loved reading this! Reading about a ski patrol job is as interesting as it probably is exhausting. I enjoyed all the little details and joy that came with Carly’s job.
I was excited to get Carly’s story. And Chris? He is a total surprise and shock. I enjoyed his tenacity and strength. He was a winner in my book already even before getting together with Carly.
It is nice to see her brothers, wives and kids. Catching up is alway fun with them. I want to give a shout out to Taylor. He is a friend of Chris’ but he goes above and beyond his duties. He is the Best kind of friend there is.
Overall this is a wonderful story. I don’t feel Carly’s issue was as big as her brothers stories. But still a problem for her. Chris really stole the show for me.

This book far exceeded my expectations. I don’t usually read this genre as I’ve found in the past I haven’t been as invested in the plot as other genres I really enjoy, but this one may have just converted my interests. Right from reading the synopsis I was hooked with the idea of this dystopian future where the world had been divided and chaos caused. The plot was both intriguing and exciting and I knew I had to continue reading. The characters are well explored and I feel we really get a sense of who everyone in Tommy’s life is and how they matter in the story. I particularly enjoyed Havall 16’s character, she reminded me a lot of Katniss (Hunger Games) and Tris (Divergent Series) and I loved that as I really enjoyed both of those characters in their respective books. Havall 16 was cool, courageous and captivating throughout the entire story and I feel her and Tommy worked really well together which made their story an absolute joy to read.
There were several moments which I was not expecting, certain people who I weren’t expecting certain things from and was shocked to read. This made for a “can’t put it down” reading experience. Ullman’s writing style was very easy to read and flowed nicely. There is enough description in the writing that you can paint a detailed image in your head, but not too much that it becomes convoluted; which I really enjoyed. The whole book is riddled with “on the edge of your seat moments” and really kept my interest from start to finish.
There are a couple of twists towards the end of this book which I LOVED and definitely did not see coming. No spoilers, you’ll have to work those out on your own. But they were very well thought out and if anything I would have like to know slightly more about them. I would like the details of Tara and the queries surrounding her to be explored more, there was mention of her not being trustworthy but this was in passing and was not explored again after this and it became unclear as to why Havall 16 might feel that way. I would also have liked to know more about the future world that Havall 16 describes but this is the only criticism I have of this book.
This was a credit to its genre and I cannot wait to read more like this and more by A.J Ullman. Very well done.

Crave is a fantastic contemporary romance by Evelyn Sola and is the first book in the Clark Family series. I had never previously read any of this author’s work so was unsure what to expect. What I can say now is that I would definitely read more of their work as I absolutely loved this book. I absolutely adored both of the main characters Jacob (Jake) and Sandra (Sandy, Dee, DeeDee…Lol). This is very much an opposites attract story. Jake comes from a very wealthy family, whereas Sandy comes from a ‘normal’ hardworking, everyday family. I loved that this was an interracial romance and that all of those in Jake’s family did not bat an eyelid about the fact that he was having a relationship with a black woman. She was welcomed into his family with open arms. I also loved how sensitive Jake was to Sandy’s worries about the big difference in wealth and their racial difference. He was sweet and understanding with her and did everything possible to allay her fears. The whole family dynamic makes this a fantastic read. The Clark family may have all the money in the world but it’s not a harmonious family. The storyline around the family dynamic (I don’t want to give spoilers) make this a gripping and enthralling read. It’s most definitely a ‘page-turner’. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend this book to others. I LOVED it!

Askew Ever After by Aubrey Wynne is a lovely short romance story. The whole story has your heart throbbing waiting to see what would happen next between the characters.
Askew Ever After does have a love story for everyone. After I finished reading this one I went straight to look at the rest of the collection. I can’t wait to read more of these short love stories. I could not put this book down it was an adorable romance that just filled you up.
I have never loved a love story so much. I ended up rereading it.

The Longest Run (Lawson Family Series, Book Four) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly was a really good read! This is a standalone novel. This is the first book in this series I’ve read, and I didn’t feel like I missed anything important or vital from not reading the others first. It was very entertaining and well written. It was very descriptive, I felt like I was right there on the slopes with Carly and Chris the whole time. There’s was also enough steam in this novel to keep the chill of winter away! It did take me a little bit to get hooked in this story. It didn’t grab me at first in the way I thought it would. Overall this book was a very fun and easy read. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!
Athalie (Sacrificial Chronicles Book 1) by Jordan Elizabeth. It’s all about Athalie and the gods. This story is full of adventure and unexpected revelation.
Athalie meant to be the yearly sacrifice just wants to live but knowing she will benefit her emperor accepts her fate. Unknowing to her empire the emperor wants to use a deadly weapon that can unknowingly destroy the planet once activated.
The book is full of twists and turn. You never know what will happen next. It leaves you on the edge of your seat with each new chapter. I can’t wait for what this series may have in store.

I really enjoyed this story. It is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. There are so many relationshipship dynamics in this book that you really feel drawn into it completely. No family is perfect but the other manages to take two people with troubled past together and it works.
Jacob has had bad relationships. After being hurt and decieved by his brother and his sister in law it has left him bitter and angry towards everyone including his brothers. There is always arguments when ever they are together because Jacob is carrying so much pain and can’t let it go.
Sandy is a hardworking woman. Who isn’t looking for a relationship. Especially not with someone with a lot of drama. That is until she meets Jacob. After their first meeting the attraction and connection between them is instant however with both of them dealing with pasts and the drama of the families can they work things out to be together or will their pasts keep destroying any chance of them having a future.

Stone of Destiny (Juniper Samoni Trilogy Book 1) by Nadine Travers 4 Stars
This is an action packed fantasy novel filled with adventure, danger and some mystery. Juniper is a witch warrior who has some extra special powers. Magical relics call to her and this time she needs to retrieve the Stone of Destiny. If it falls into the wrong hands, the fallout could be devastating. She’s not the only one that wants it, she just needs to get there first.
I found the story to be quite original. With the witch warriors and the magical relics, it almost felt like an epic adventure. There was an underlying sense of foreboding. The world building was fantastic. The author has a vivid imagination. In this book there is clearly the “good “ guys and the “bad” guys but I believe that as the series progresses, these lines will get blurred. The author left enough crumbs in this novel which will have you wanting to pick up the pieces in the next.

Another fantastic book from this author! I absolutely loved it. This author has a fantastic writing style which draws me in straight away. I loved the first book in the series and I am so glad that this one didn’t disappoint. From the beautiful descriptive language to the fantastic characters I was hooked from beginning to end. I love Maggie and Will, their journey is far from easy and I loved the story plot for this book! It was so exciting to read! I would definitely recommend reading book 1 prior to this one to fully understand the characters and their story. I think if you love historical/time travel stories then this series is absolutely one you should read!

I’ve read quite a few books by this author now and I really enjoy her stories and I think that Murder at Lolly Beach is probably one of my favourites. I loved that I was kept guessing until the very end – there were so many twists and turns I really enjoyed trying to figure out what was going to happen. I really like the characters; they are all great to read about. I would recommend reading the books in order just to get a better feel of the characters and what has happened previously. Overall a fantastic 5 star read and one that I would absolutely recommend to others! I look forward to more from Ms Suen again in the future!!!

Heartbeats and Roses was a nice, romantic read and I found it very enjoyable to read. This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author and although sadly I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others it was still a good read. I think for me I struggled with connecting with the characters and I’m not sure why to be honest. They were nice enough and I liked them but I just didn’t feel that connection with them like I have previously. Rose and Liam obviously had a past and that connection between them was still there all those years later however I was missing a little bit of passion between them, thy did seem to have a genuine connection thought which was lovely to read about. I liked how Liam’s character developed over the story and I feel like I got to him more than I did Rose. Overall a good read and I am definitely looking forward to more from this author again in the future.
Black Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg 4 out of 5 Stars Emma Aubrey is a force to be reckoned with. This sweet romance has a twist of the paranormal but once you read about Emma, you fall head over heels for her. Toby himself is mysterious, and I love a handsome mysterious innkeeper. Who wouldn’t want to fall in love with someone like that? Caulberg did a fantastic job of engaging the reader and keeping the suspense and mystery going until the very end. I also LOVED reading about the English stores of paranormal creatures. I recommended this book for lovers of mystery, romance, paranormal, and sci-fi. 4 out of 5 stars.

Stormy’s Thunder (Satan’s Devils MC Utah #2) by Manda Mellett was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Stormy disappeared from the clubhouse leaving his cut behind. The MC brothers all thought he had abandoned his club and ran. He returns with a literal “bang” and he ends up in the hospital. It appears like he has been tortured, but by who?
While he’s in the hospital the MC tries to figure out where he was, will they find the answers they are looking for?
Overall this was an edge of your seat read. I couldn’t wait to see myself just where Stormy was and get the answers along with the club. He grew on me the more the story developed. The author does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing and finally getting to see Stormy’s story was great. I would suggest reading the other books in the series so you can get the build up to this book. All of the characters were great, it was a family reunion of sorts. If you’re looking for a thrilling MC read, 1-click and get started today on this great series.

Daddy’s Girl (Freshwater Book 3) by Belinda Williams
There are so many things I love about this book. First is Emily being the main character, my younger daughter is Emily. Second is Aunty Em which is what we call my Emily when talking to my grandson. Third, holy cow Emily falls in love!
After reading the first two books in this series I really wasn’t sure how it would happen but it was spectacular. I loved Joel from the beginning, there was something about him that I instantly liked. The more I got to know him the more I liked him.
Joel has secrets and they are pretty big but with the upbringing he had I wouldn’t have expected anything else.
I have questions and hope this isn’t the end of this series. I’m going to hold out hope that there will be a book four.

At Last: Adams Brother by Mindy McKinley is book 1 in this series. And let me say I absolutely loved it, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wasn’t disappointed. This is a contemporary romance book that goes from hot to scorching with the main characters quickly. Lula and Dominic have off the chart’s chemistry and you can’t help but hope they work. The author wrote an amazing story that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I can’t wait for the second installment.

Heartbeats and Roses is a cute contemporary story that is just what the doctor ordered. With everything that is going on in the world right now (covid 19), I know personally, I need some good times with a special someone. The plotline is engaging and the characters are really interesting. Not only is this a contemporary romance, but it has second chances. This is a small town and everything that goes with that distinguishment of being a small town. I was hooked into Rose. I enjoyed her love of life and how she is creating the life she wants in this small town. Rose is the town matchmaker. She loves helping others find their match but can she find her own love? Liam is a surgeon who comes back to this little town. Will Liam want to return to the life he had 20 years ago in this small town? How is Rose dealing with Liam back in town? Does she have feelings for Liam all of this time? I highly recommend this book to find out the answers to these questions and more.

Askew Ever After: A Limited-Edition Romance Collection Anthology is a collection of short romance stories. I personally fell in love with Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne. This story follows Joss who grew up in New Guinea but found herself in the United States due to unwelcome news. After a failed relationship and the heartbreak, of losing a loved one. She needs to figure some things in her life so the last thing she is looking for is someone. But life always seems to throw us curve balls when we least expect it. This is a fast read and one I couldn’t put down! Highly recommend.
This is a review for Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye Well, I really enjoyed this story and I wish we could’ve gotten more of these two, I would’ve read them all day! Perrie and Ash have some history, and she’s never forgiven him for it. Needing a new roommate, she places an ad and never expects who it is that moves in. From there it just got better. The chemistry between the two was coming off the pages, and I love those types of reads. Would love to get to know them better as there was a lot to digest, which the author did a good job summarizing it all but more details were wanted in places for me. Overall it was a great read, and that ending, ugh I loved it so so much!

Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley, I absolutely loved this book. I have read a couple of Mya O’Malley’s books and none of them have disappointed. This book has some action, suspense with a little bit of romance. Miriam Marty is such a strong female lead who you can’t help but fall in love with and the supporting characters add jus the right amount to the story. I had trouble putting this book down as you start it and the story pulls you in, Miriam Marty is a detective who faces a few issues. This story truly does grip you, the author did a great job writing it!

Who doesn’t like a book that offers a collection of stories at once that you can pick up and choose what you’re in the mood for whenever you feel like it? The story that really caught my attention is Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye. Marie Skye is an author I’ve read in the past and enjoyed, so I had faith in the writing but I was really drawn by the synopsis. I will be honest with you, at the very beginning I was not sure I would enjoy the story. It didn’t start with the addictive qualities I am so used to reading. It did pick up fairly quickly, thankfully and the characters were enjoyable. I truly appreciate a storyline that holds characters with good banter, this had it. I would recommend this collection if nothing more than to read this 4 star story but with a collection to meet anyone’s reading needs, how can you go wrong?

I enjoyed this cozy mystery novel featuring journalism student Eve Sawyer who sets out to investigate a twenty year old missing persons case. Lacey Walken disappeared in suspicious circumstances from Murder Creek, a place named after the infamous murders that happened there centuries before. The deeper Eve digs into the story the more danger she puts herself in as someone in the small community is not happy that this old case is being looked into again. I found Eve was a great main character as she’s likeable and relatable and really bought the storyline together. I found Eve’s psychic visions really added a different layer to the overall story. The author really bought the sinister setting of Murder Creek to life with her descriptive narrative and I felt engaged in the story. I was hooked from page one and the twists and turns kept me guessing until the end as the suspense built. I look forward to further books in this series.

Ride With The Moonlight by Andrea Matthews is the second book in the Thunder on the Moor series. This series does have to be read in order as it is a continuation of the characters story. For me this book was even better than the first. I found it so easy to jump straight back into the story and reconnected with the characters immediately. I was excited to see where their journey was going to take them next and how they would overcome everything that seemed to be in their way. The writing in this book was just as imaginative and detailed as it was in the first. This meant it was so easy to picture everything going on. This has been a strong series and this book really just reinforces that completely. I would highly recommend you give this series a try today!

Carly is happy skiing during the winter season but she has a secret from years ago which intersects her life and her relationships. Carly enjoys the one a season lover who can vanish at the end of the season with no strings attached. Until she sees Chris and something stirs inside that she has not felt in a long-time but will the feelings reciprocated or will she be left wanting again.
Chris was a Olympic Skier until that fateful day which changed his life forever. Although he is now determined to make the Paralympic team and is dedicated to the task he can’t stop thinking about the woman on the slope.
I loved this story and we the chemistry between these two characters was brilliant and that jumped off the page. The story delves into the both characters ups and down, plus the sheer determination that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.
The story is well constructed and draws you into the story and bring the characters into your heart, especially when you are urging them forward into their relationship and feeling you are living the story with them. I can wait to read the next book in this wonderful series.
