Chasing Redemption (Quimby Grove #2)Chasing Redemption by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a good read – I really enjoyed it. I loved Marley and Max! Even though their first encounter was only the one night there did seem to be this instant and genuine connection between them. I loved the added suspense in the story this was great and definitely kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next in Marley and Max’s story. The author had a wonderful and engaging writing style that certainly kept my attention throughout. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am certainly excited to read more from her in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yet again another wonderful read from this author! I loved Hunter and Selma! They were such wonderful characters to read about, there was just something about this book that made you want to keep reading long in to the night! It definitely had that can’t put down feel about because you just want to find out what is going to happen on the next page. The way in which the author writes she really does draw you into the story and the characters’ lives that in parts it felt a little bit like reality. I will admit this book is longer than your average read but it is so worth it in my opinion! Beautifully written with wonderful characters – a must read!!

I loved the emotional pull between Finn and Abi. They were so guarded with one another while trying to navigate their rolls both in the show and in their personal lives. I could almost feel the emotional rollercoaster between them. I devoured this book in one setting!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After reading book 2 and 1 back to back, there is a lot of times Elinor shows humor in her investigation. Elinor wants to seek the truth in the murder of her father but the Duke always gets in the way of her case.

My kids love Nash mystery novels ever since I bought the 2nd book for them.

I’m between a 3-3.5 star for this book. This book began really good and then somewhere along the way, it lost me. It was enjoyable read, I was just waiting to feel more from the characters, especially with this being such a deep and dynamic foursome. Overall, I was entertained for an afternoon.

Underboss's Retaliation (Sicilian Gods Book 2)Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This books pick up on right where book 1 ends off but can be read as a stand alone. You don’t feel you miss too much.

This books follows newly promoted underboss Dominic who kidnaps Emilia, the rivals daughter. Emilia is a incredibly strong and independent woman. A line is crossed that they are not sure they can come back from.

As with book one I enjoyed the story but the repetitiveness is a bit much. I can only read capiche before it gets really old.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Underboss’s Retaliation is the second book in the series that flows seamlessly from the first book, Boss’s Vendetta. I love how the story goes from Salvatore’s story (the first book) to Dominic’s point of view. There are always multiple events going on to keep you on your toes. The main characters are dealing with their own issues and need to figure it out, this will keep you anticipating what’s going to happen next.

We never know what we truly have until we lose it. That is never more apparent than reading this novel. My first by the author and will not be my last! I read this as a stand alone and I am not certain that it was intended so, however I didn’t feel lost or like I was missing something. I will definitely be going back to read volume one and two and anything else I can find by the author. She has an attention grabbing thrilling style of writing that pulls you right in and allows you to feel as if you’re front row to all the events and rollercoaster rides of her novel. I couldn’t put this book down, and when it finished I was so glad I held out because it was just so dang good!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is just one of many books that I have read by this author and enjoyed. Her writing skills and attention to detail give so much life to her stories. They are engaging and great books for any child. This is a story where an earthquake shakes things up and a magic wand is left to fix things. I enjoyed the characters because they are creative and unique. The pages are colorful and interactive. The author did a great job of bringing this story to life. This is a great children’s story that I highly recommend.

Married Blind (King of Screen Book 2) by Morgana Bevan

Married Blind is the second book in the King of Screen Series and is a Hollywood Romance/Contemporary Romance that can be read as a standalone. This is a new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out the other books in this series. I truly enjoyed reading this little rom-com the characters are fun and developed and make the story come to life. I found myself chuckling at Finn and Abi and their bantering back and forth. These two have amazing chemistry between them. Is there more to their marriage than just convenience? Can they actually have a HEA? Are their feelings real or part of the script? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Elinor is trying to have herself a good holiday when she finds that someone has targeted the king. Duke de Archambeau is also on the case and feels he can solve this mystery before Elinor. She’s being kept busy with other paranormal happenings as well but she is determined to find who is behind the plot against the king. The pace of this book was a little quick, however it never makes you feel like you’re missing out on any part of the story. The author does a great job building onto the story and the characters from the first installment. If you like paranormal crime and mystery this would be a great book to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought it was going to be a bit cheesy. A famous star joins a reality tv show to marry a non-famous, random girl he’s never met before. I did not account for how great this book was written! It’s so entertaining! There’s comedy, friendship, spite, sorrow, pain, and acceptance. There are so many layers to this story, and I loved it from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down, but I also wanted it to last longer. Read this book, there is something in it for everyone. And read it with the accents, so much better!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Married Blind is the second book in a series called Kings of Screen. Abi is just a regular girl, working three jobs to help her sister pay off her debt from her cancer treatments. Finn is a hot, playboy movie star with a lot on his shoulders and trust issues. They meet in such an unconventional way one needs the money for her sisters debt and one needs to save his reputation so they agree to get married at first site and see what happens three months later. I was so surprised by how much I actually enjoyed Abi and Finns story, all of the books in this series are standalone stories, I haven’t yet read book one but had no issue following book two. Once I started I didn’t want to put this book down and Finn had me hanging by a thread once he opened himself up to Abi and the ‘real’ Finn came out, if only we can all find one of those, lol. The tension and spice level throughout the book is pretty high and it made them seem so much more connected. I absolutely enjoyed this book!

I’m obsessed with romance mafia stories! I knew I was going to love this after reading the blurb and I’m SO glad I read it. Falling for your enemies daughter? YES PLEASE. The suspense, the action as well as romantic? SIGN ME UP. Dominic is the new underboss and he captures Emilia for revenge. Enemies to lovers is my FAVORITE trope so this book is 10 stars for me. The characters are phenomenal, the story is great. I couldn’t put this book down and I never wanted it to end. SO. DAMN. GOOD.

Marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes. This book hit the mark for everything needed. Humor, drama, love, angst, and the almighty when it’s right it’s right. Abi was a great down to earth girl and you can’t help but love her. Finn was the actor and bad boy who needed a touch up to his image. Together they both have things they need within the other and although random it’s a story where love is born.

Book 1 in the series and and a very enjoyable read. Ms. Chilson told a story of passion and courage and of course the wonders of magic.
I loved Jessa and felt she was very relatable. Her love for nature and her dedication to her family and town was clear. So many elements to this story and I am eager for book 2.

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this first book, our main character, Madame Elinor Chalamet, is determined to find her father’s killer. It was this goal that led her to be trained as a medium by the elite Morpheus Society. Now she helps others as a female Sherlock Holmes type, while also trying to find leads about her father.

Our main male character is Tristan Fontaine, Duke de Archambeau. He often takes pleasure in denouncing frauds who claim to have medium abilities, and he has Elinor in his sites. Will he prove that she is indeed a fraud or will Elinor show him her skills are in fact real?

I love a snarky, strong heroine and Elinor definitely is that. The adventures, romance, humor, and amazing descriptions all add greatly to this quick read. If you think a female Sherlock who also may or may not be a REAL medium is your kind of story, then you should definitely pick this up. I honestly can’t wait to read more as this story kept me turning the pages.

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This paranormal mystery starts off with Madame Elinor Chalamet, our fmc from book one, wanting a little excitement as she’s been bored since her last case. Just as luck would have it, she receives an invitation from King Guenard for the Winter Revels. What starts off as a fun escape from the lackluster daily hum drum turns into yet another mystery to be solved as she finds out the King is being targeted. Tristan Fontaine, Duke de Archambeau, is determined to solve the case before Elinor. It’s through this competition of sorts we get to continue to see their sarcastic, snarky, and often humorous banter. We also get to see as feelings blossom between the two.

Byrd Nash has done it yet again. Her descriptive writing, amazing mystery plot twists, and humorous banter between characters has me wanting more. I love a strong, smart, snarky female main character and this series has just that in Elinor. Elinor often reminds me of a historical type, Charlie from Daryanda Jones’ First Grave series, as she solves cases, talks to ghosts, and is fine being alone despite starting to crush on a man. This is a fantastic series that has just gotten better in this second book. I honestly can’t wait to read more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imagine marrying a complete stranger, a celebrity at that…for a TV show. Abi and Finn go back and forth at first and Finn tries his hardest to keep his distance and not fall for Abi. He strongly believes she’s off limits and it’s hard for him to trust anyone. He’s had a bad experience with a woman and he assumes everyone ends up using him. Things could be so intense between them just as much as it was heart warming. I really do love the connection the main characters have, no matter how hard they try to fight it. Great story all around and I loved EVERY page. I love a good rom com with SPICE 🌶 I encourage every one to read this fantastic book if you love a good romance and a sucker for forced proximity!!

Abi and Finn’s first date is their wedding day. These two have their own reasons for getting married on a reality show. Ability and Finn find each other very attractive but they both have walls up. Will they be able to let each other in to get to know who they really are? I couldn’t help but root for them to really see each other and realize how good it could be. This author did an excellent job pulling me into the story and connecting me to the characters. As the story progresses we get to see the characters make bad decisions and make some good ones that help them grow. I can’t wait to read what the author has in store for us next.

Chatroom with a View
By: Glenn Maynard

This book is so fast paced. It is also truly chilling. I don’t know if I have read a book that has haunted me quite like this in a while. The author chooses to begin the book right in the middle of the action – in the middle of a completely chilling scene. And from there he never takes his foot off of the gas. Troy truly lives a chilling life and the premise of a gene that makes one prone to being a killer really is an interesting concept. For me, as I read, I really found myself wondering how much of Troy’s behavior was his upbringing and his experiences and how much of it has to do with the potential for a propensity for killing via a specific gene. I definitely liked this book and definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good thriller that will keep you reading!

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so was excited to start on this book. This book was even better than the one prior. It ticked all of the boxes for me and I could not put it down once I had started reading. I loved the main characters. Their connection felt so real and believable. It drew me into the story and I just had to see their ending.
This is an author that I am only recently familiar with but I am enjoying what I see so far. This series has been a strong series and this book has easily been my favourite so far. I love discovering new authors and I cannot want to discover more from this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read the first book and loved it so immediately had to next this one next and it did not disappoint. I love it just as much as the first book, if not more!
The story continues nicely from where the last left off and the relationships between the different characters only became more engaging. It was great to witness the ongoing interactions between Elinor and the Duke, how the growing attraction/relationship continues to grow from the first novella.
The author once again impressed me with their writing style, I was easily able to envision the world they had created and felt like I really had fallen into the world walking alongside Elinor as she navigated the new scenery.
While I was able to learn some more about my favourite characters there is still so much, I don’t know, but wish to, and so I eagerly await the next books in the series! Just as with the first novella, I could not put this one down and I can see how this will be the case for the entire series.
I whole-heartedly recommend this series to those who enjoy historical investigative stories, ghosts and romance!

Mystery, crime fighting, and a medium with enough spunk to do it all – this book encompasses just about everything. Acting as the second installment, the reader follows along as a satisfying new change of pace and location are reached as well as a slow-embered burn of a romance takes flame.

Ghosts and mourning, grief and acceptance, overall this book was a good pace and a fun read.

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ghost Talker is a fast-paced novella but by no means lacks intrigue and action.
I love the genres which this story includes fantasy (paranormal), historical, crime and romance so this was right up my alley! The combination was woven together very well, and the elements felt perfectly balanced – they complimented each other throughout the story. I was initially concerned that it may have felt thrown together without much thought, but as my first introduction to this author’s abilities, it is safe to say she has quickly found her place on my favourites list. It was clear that the combination of genres, events and characters were used with a purpose in mind, and all came together to create an enjoyable and gripping adventure.
The way that the characters bounce off each other and each have their distinct personalities alongside the descriptive way they are portrayed make falling in love with the characters (and the world they inhabit) so easy. I especially love Elinor’s independence and I wish I had even half of her self-confidence!
I can’t wait for the rest of the series and hope to learn more about Elinor, but I especially wish to learn more about the events of the Duke of Archambeau’s past as the series progresses.

This was my first read of the series and it was good! At first I felt like the book was too fast paced, but it slowed down and got really good at the end. Max is such a lovable character. I’m not really into the surprise pregnancy troupe, but it was done very well in this book. Based on this book, I’m guessing each book is about different characters of the same friend group. I love books like that and will be reading book one and book two.

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Could you imagine that your first date with a fellow is your actual wedding date to him? We all have our reasons for getting married- love, money, happiness, position in life but what is yours? For Abi, she married for the money to pay off her sister’s incredible medical bill from cancer treatment. Finn married to rehab his reputation. Will these two find romance or are they strictly married for their personal reasons? Not only being married but being married on a Hollywood production and having almost every moment of their lives filmed, critiqued, and questioned?
Such a great read and so intriguing! No spoilers here of course but I love both of the main characters with all their flaws, reasoning, and baggage that follows them into their marriage. The story is told from both of their perspectives and it’s very interesting to be able to hear their inner thoughts on the matter. The characters are well developed and so it is easy to fall in love and then fall out of love with these two. Can I just say that some parts of the book had me yelling at Finn and Abi for the dumb way they handled things or for making such crazy decisions. A must read if you like romance. And the steamy scenes are definitely steamy!
