Curse of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 2)Curse of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book to the Kingdom of the elf series. I did not read the first one to this series. But I have to say this book still didn’t disappoint. I will be going back and reading the first book thou, this book really made me want to. The characters were very well written that I didn’t feel the need like I was missing out on something when it was mentioned. It was so well written I did feel lost and confused. This book was very fast paced, that I just couldn’t read it fast enough to know what was going on and know what was going to happen next. This book took a hold of me and wouldn’t let me go till I was done reading. I will also be differently looking for the next book to this series. Very entertaining and enjoyable.

Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1)Talisman by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had not read any of the author’s previous books before this one, something I will be remedying immediately; as this was a fantastic start to what will be an explosive series. The author did an amazing job with the character development of Rowan and Alyssa and how their bond and connection grows. You feel the hesitancy of Alyssa to just take at face value what she is being told and Rowan’s urgency to help her feel safe, but also needing her to understand what he is telling her. The author’s background and understanding of Celtic mythology in the modern world gave me Percy Jackson vibes, but with a much more adult twist. Being from Montana, I do also enjoy a solid story that takes place here as well. If you are looking for an amazing Celtic mythology story that that been modernized, full of steamy romance, and vivid action and adventure, this will be a series for you!

A Dowry of Snails and MudA Dowry of Snails and Mud by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fun YA historical romance! Getting to marry a prince even by an arranged marriage would probably make most girls very happy but not Rhiannon. For her it is a big fat no thanks but at the same time she knows she really has no choice. She has to handle marriage to someone she doesn’t know anything about and try and save her village. It definitely makes for some interesting times.
Having not read anything from this author before I was looking forward to seeing what she had in store for us. I was totally entertained thanks to the great characters and imagery created by this wonderful author and I can’t wait to read more from her.

This medical suspense romance story was a well written one, and i liked that the main overall story was believable and interesting. The chemistry between the main characters was off the charts even if they were in middle of a hectic and dangerous time. I enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to more by this author in the future.

This book is another successful addition to a series that is clearly shaping up to be amazing. I am always blown away by how easily I get into one of these books, the storyline and the characters. The author weaves the two together in such an effortless way that I cannot help but be drawn in.
This book picks up where the previous one leaves off so I would recommend reading them in order. However, this can be read as a standalone without too much being missed. Via Mari has easily become one of my go to authors and this book is a great example of why. It is so easy to read her books as it feels like the pages turn themselves. This is an amazing story and I cannot wait for the next!

I liked the idea of this story more than the story itself.

The story started out alright, but once the two main characters meet up the second time, it felt like they barely even had a connection on Alyssa’s end of things and they were already jumping in bed. It also felt like Rowan was pressuring Alyssa. An example without being spoilery – Rowan goes to get some extra clothes. Alyssa comments on him looking like he’s moving into her house and he blows it off. Then, he moves his clothes into her dresser and closet without telling her. But he’s expecting her to trust him, even though he’s pulling shady stuff. I didn’t like that vibe at all.

I did enjoy the mythological aspects of the story and the attention to detail.

All-in-all, it wasn’t the read I was hoping for, but it was entertaining.

Talisman: The Talisman SeriesTalisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
Tam DeRudder Jackson is a Paranormal Fantasy romance writer and a new author to me, so I was excited to get started. Talisman is the first book in the Talisman series and there is a lot going on. There is Celtic mythology, druids, gods and goddesses, supernatural abilities, magic, a curse, revenge, and good vs evil. It is written in multiple POV which makes the story that much broader.
It is a unique modern day paranormal tale set in Montana. The story and colourful characters are interesting and the premise is good but the even flow of the story was missing. The story starts out well but there is a lot of over details throughout the whole book which kind of made me skim over a lot it. The ending was interesting but there are a few things that didn’t mesh throughout. I also wish there was more action.
Alyssa is a shy woman and has no idea about what is out in the world and who they really are but one night changes all that. She really was a little naïve and had a lot of catching up to do and not be so accepting of things.
Rowan is a warrior and doesn’t have much time left to find his Talisman. However, she has no idea about his world or the supernatural in general. Unfortunately time is against them. Will all be lost? Rowan was a little frustrating at times and I just wanted him to calm down a bit.
As this is the first book in the series I am going to continue to read more books and hope that this is just first book teething issues.

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

Well, well, well a ghost story with suspense. Elinor Chalamet a crime fighting medium. She is not only independent but plays a strong role in this case. While things seem to be quiet around her, life gets boring. Getting an invitation from the King Guenard, she chooses to visit the King and the great cook off. Taking her friend Dr. Charlotte LaRue with her on the adventure. But things change quite quickly. Murder and mayhem keep this story going with its twists and turns. This is a new author for me. But I am very pleased I gave her a chance. Her fantasy ghost story with its action and suspense held my interest and was fun to read. I am looking forward to what happens next for Elinor.

Handle With Care (Chase Care Book 1)Handle With Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Handle With Care is the first book in the Chase Care series, which is a spin-off from the Chase Security series which is one of my favourite series. I was so glad to jump back into the Chase world and this certainly did not disappoint. Far, far from it!
When reviewing a book like this, I realise that I give to many 5 star ratings. By this I mean that this book is so good that I feel that it deserves more than the 5 stars I’m allowed to give it.
At over 500 pages, this is not a short read, but in all honesty I could have read another 500 pages of this story. I was totally engrossed in this book and hated having to put it down to go back to the ‘real’ world.
Hunter and Selma are 2 fascinating characters among a large cast of characters, many of whom I loved and others I hated. Hunter and Selma’s story is so much more than a romance story. This story has soooo much drama. It really is edge of your seat, heart in your mouth reading as characters lives are hanging on by the thinnest of threads.
This is a book that I know I will read again and I can’t wait for more in this series.

Things are ShakingThings are Shaking by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Last year Caspian received a Magic Wand from his grandfather. It could speed up and slow down time. In this story, his cousin Belinda asks for a Magic Wand because she wants to be able to do the same. It is pretty cool to speed up time through things you might not like so much and slow down time to enjoy the things you love. Speeding up time through an earthquake, getting out of the house safely, and running fast are just some of the things Belinda does in her adventure.
As always, Lois Wickman’s books are a great read for children!

Talisman: The Talisman SeriesTalisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Talisman is the exciting first book in the Talisman series of Celtic Urban Fantasy Romance. It utilises the soulmate trope – every warrior has to find his talisman between the age of 21 and 28 or face dire consequences. Rowan, the warrior in this book, is 3 months from his 28th birthday so the pressure is on.
This is a captivating story, with plenty of world-building drawing on Celtic history, culture and mythology. There’s lots of action, as Rowan and Alyssa face supernatural forces determined to keep them apart. There’s also plenty of research scenes as Alyssa works on her masters thesis and tries to learn more about her family history!
This is the perfect read for when you’re staying warm with a snow storm outside, would definitely recommend it! Although don’t feel like you have to wait for snow to enjoy it. Talisman gets five stars from me and if you enjoy urban and Celtic fantasy I’m sure you’ll love it!

This book was fantastic. I loved the ferocity of Emelia. She is not one mafia princess that I would mess with. Best book of the series so far!!!

Emelia knew she was in danger when her father told her and her brother to flee. When she was found Emelia thought it was the end. Little did she know it was just the beginning.

Dominic was a vicious soldier and knew what he needed to do. Dominic thought he was lucky to capture the two youngest DeRosa children. He knew his Don would be pleased, they would have the edge. But things never go to plan. Not only that, a strange protective instinct when it comes to Emelia has blossomed. Dominic will do what he has to do to save his family but will that cost him his new obsession, Emelia?

I loved the action, the banter, the tenderness Dom shows, the cunning Emelia possesses and all of it. Emelia is badass!!! I absolutely despise what happened to Leo. My heart ached for Emelia. I can’t wait for the wedding!! Totally loving this series!!

An entertaining romance built around a Celtic myth! I fell in love with this tale of Rowan and Alyssa. He must break a curse and needs her. Oh, the adventures that include all the figures you would expect: the druids, fairies, bairds, etc. This story is so well-written and planned out. I was glued to it from the beginning. I am a big fan of anything that feels like time-travel. Romance makes it even better. I could feel the chemistry between these two. All the characters were done well and just all tied in to the story in such a way to entertain. My husband kept wanting to know what I was reading because I kept smiling as I read. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series as this is book !.

Delicious Death is the second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries and is a fast paced story that I devoured in one sitting. I recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already started as this one picks up not to long after the first one ended ,plus you get to know the characters better and what’s been going on up to this point. I Enjoyed reading this fast paced well written Historical Mystery that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Time’s running out… 

Rowan Sheridan is a warrior, a powerful being capable of bending time and space to take on the rogues and zombies the triple goddess unleashes on civilians. For centuries, his family has taken on the Morrigan, their successes against her legendary. But if he doesn’t find his talisman by midnight of his twenty-eighth birthday, he faces death—or something worse.

To convince her she belongs to him…

Wallflower Alyssa Macaulay has no clue a community of supernatural Celtic warriors lives alongside her. Nor does she know she’s a talisman, a member of that community. Orphaned at age four, she was raised by her grandmother, a druid of uncommon skill who deliberately kept Alyssa ignorant of her true self. A chance meeting in a bar on a cold winter’s night upends the bookish grad student’s life when Rowan introduces her to their world.

Their love can end a centuries-old curse.

Trying his sign on Alyssa and discovering she’s his talisman, his fated mate, should be cause for their celebration. Too bad Alyssa thinks Rowan’s only looking for a good time and she has no idea who and what they are. The goddess’s imminent arrival doesn’t give Rowan time to show her either. Somehow, he needs to compress the lifetime of training she should have had into a week—and convince her the one amazing night they shared is only the beginning of a lifetime of love. If they can live long enough…

Like the tagline of her first novel, Tam DeRudder Jackson’s personal motto is “love is worth the risk.” Readers and reviewers have praised her stories for her swoon-worthy characters, movie-quality world building, and strong writing. Though she’s a voracious reader of all genres of romance, her favorite genres to write are paranormal and contemporary. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s probably traveling or skiing or dancing at a rock concert.

This was a good 4 star read. This is Pedro and Anne’s story. I really liked these characters. When Anne shows up on Pedro’s doorstep he mistakes her for someone else at first. There is a big twist that forces them to flee. As they spend more time together their connection grows. The author does a great job with her writing. She builds the characters up so great and you can’t wait to see where their journey will take them. Will they get a HEA? If you’re looking for a historical romance I suggest you 1-click and get started on this one. I look forward to reading more from her.

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

I enjoyed Delicious Death. I think I may have enjoyed it more than book 1 in this series. The author brings us back to Alenbonne and into Madame Chalamet’s life. This time it seems to be a bigger adventure and a bigger mystery.
The resident Ghost Talker has been invited to The Winter Revels by the king. This season’s competition is among 6 chefs across the land. Of course Madame Chalamet feels Duke Archambeau is behind it. But what happens when all the fun and games turns serious. Someone poisoned the King and with all these people in the same place from high society as well as common, anyone could’ve done it.
Together and apart the Duke and Madame start an investigation to get to the bottom of it. Despite everything the push and pull between them, they make a great team. It could also be that the author is showing more chemistry between them within the writing.
I look forward to continuing on into this series!

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ghost Talker was interesting. I struggled to get into it at first but the author wrote an interesting mystery with a supernatural element. I’m a sucker for the supernatural, books of fiction in this genre have always intrigued me. Ghost Talker was no different.
Madame Chalamet has been brought into an investigation that lands her in house arrest. All because of what the spirit revealed to her. Revealing who he was and what relations said person has, Duke Archambeau felt he needed to keep a close eye on her. Despite being present in the morgue of the spirit talking he still had his doubts about Madame Chalamet’s profession.
Forced to work together to solve the murder and keep the peace treaty signing in order, the Duke and Madame find as much as they frustrate one another they also entertain as well.
The mystery the author lays before you is different because ghosts are helping to lead the investigation. But that different element makes it stand out. Keeps the book in the reader’s mind even after they are done. Makes one look forward to more books in this series. As well as what could develop between the Madame and Duke.

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review is going to be hard to write without spoilers but I’ll do my best!

First of all, this is a stand alone book but I HIGHLY recommend reading book 1 (The True Purpose of Vines: An intoxicating historical romance about wine and love.) so you can have a proper understanding of Pedro. Reading this book first will probably ruin a lot of things for you!

I HATED Pedro in the first book. I mean, a deep loathing for the man. I can’t say that now. He’s found a way to redeem himself with the way he’s handled Anne. It took me awhile to be able to say that but he’s earned his redemption!

Anne is helping out her sister-in-law with the vines and dealing with an outbreak of Phylloxera when she meets Pedro. Anne is a polar opposite of Pedro, along with several years younger.

Can Anne show Pedro how to be a decent human being? Will Pedro find his redemption and deal with his past?

There’s a little bit of everything to love in this book. A great historical based story that includes some humor, spicy romance, and a redeeming heart!

The Taste of Light (A Winemakers #2) by Giovanna Siniscalchi

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Taste of Light is the second book in A Winemakers Series. I love the writing style and how the author put the words together.

Anne moves to help her brother and sister in law. Once she gets there she finds herself wishing for true love. She wants someone to love her unconditionally. Then she meets Pedro and things become difficult. Can she make it work? The quote I chose for Anne is: “When Griffin came to live here, he was an adult, but I was not yet your age. Plus, my best friend is Portuguese.”

Pedro loses his bride to someone else. Winemaking became his passion after that. Then he meets Anne. He finds himself falling for her, but that causes some trouble. Can he forgive his past? The quote I chose for Pedro is: “If by courting you mean to pay for her brother’s debts and not require a dowry, then yes.”

Highly recommended for Historical Romance lovers.

Kendall was the annoying little sister that had a crush on her brothers best friend growing up. So when she shows up at his house, he’s blown away with how grown she is now. Will he fall for the girl even if it means he’s “betraying” his best friend? The angst, the spice..I’m OBSESSED. Kendall and Pete make a deal but will they both keep their word? Or fall head over heels in love with each other? The brothers best friend trope is one of my favorites and I couldn’t put this book down. I finished it in a few hours. Great characters and great story! ABSOLUTELY READ THIS! I’m onto the next book in the series because I can’t get enough! 5 stars for me! 😍

Fantastic book! I knew I was going to love it because I just loved the second book of this series. Peyton is dating a guy named Andy who’s living a double life. She goes to this party with him and finds out he’s married. Andy pretends she’s actually there with his teammate Ryan..when really she came here with him. Peyton has no idea and is absolutely crushed. The guy she’s apparently dating (Ryan) thinks Peyton knew Andy was married and just didn’t care. Ryan instantly judged Peyton and they don’t start off on the right foot. They have to keep pretending they’re dating but is that all it’ll stay as? Fake dating? Will real feelings come into play? Ryan tends to react on things before thinking but he really is amazing. The drama, the intenseness, the romance, THE SPICE? Absolutely amazing. The characters were great, there’s characters that are absolutely AWFUL I’d love to smack them but that’s what makes a great book. You need different kinds of people. This author knows how to captivate you and keep you interested. There’s humor but there’s also some pretty dark topics discussed in this book. I loved the entire thing. I wish I could read it again for the first time. I love a sexy spice read and I loved the hot tub scene 🥵 edging is so 🔥 10 stars for me.

I’m a pretty big fan of “marriage of convenience” tropes and this one was a lot of fun. I liked the reality TV aspect of it- I haven’t read any other book that used that. It wasn’t a drawn out read- always a win to me! Finn and Abi were both wonderful independently (well sometimes- I’m looking at you Finn!) and they were even better together! The chemistry between them was great- and the development of their relationship was refreshing. I like forced proximity stories (like forced to share one bed kind of thing) and this was satisfying. I’m excited for the rest of the Kings of the Screen series!!

What drew me into this book was the mention of the killer gene and how it may be passed on genetically. I wanted to read and see how it played out. This book is a page turner. I needed to know every next move and thought. This is the first book in a long time that I didn’t like a character from start to finish. A main character at that. I despise Troy lol. As far as the ending of the book goes, it was unexpected but fitting.
