My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a YA enemies to friends to what I can assume will eventually be lovers. The daughter of the mayor of a small town, 16 year old Rhiannon is to marry the sixth son of the King of the land. Prince Emerys is 17. Emerys sent to Lians to marry Rhiannon and to settle the debt that the people of Lians owe the kingdom.
This is a very good read and I hope there is more, Rhia and Emerys have set out to make Lians a better place and have a good start. I really want to know what happens next. Loved this story.

This book is a very cute story for the kids. I read this to my three year old niece and she loves it. Her favorite part was the pictures . They were so colorful and bright.
Caspian’s cousin Belinda comes for a visit. He shows her his new invisible wand and then she wants one. Caspian’s grandpa gives Belinda her very own wand as well. Then all of a sudden an earthquake happens and the adventure begins. Did their wands start the earthquake or was it something else?

Falling Home (Buckeye Falls Book 1) by Libby Kay – Review by Helani Kihe

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling Home is a Hallmark Movie worthy story. Definitely a quick read. I love that it’s set during the holidays. Christmas & Love just go together.
I’m a big believer in 2nd chances (if deserved). I really liked the lost love and finding it again aspect of the story. Ginny & Max are very lovable characters.
Falling Home was the 1st title I’ve read from this author and I can’t wait to check the other books in this series and whatever else she has to offer.

Sharing His Nanny (Forever Our Girl Book 2) by Tori Chase
Genre – BBW, Erotica, Romance
Page Count – 340
Cover Designer – Bookin’ It Designs

A billionaire, a lawyer, and a personal trainer walk into a Malibu beach house with a four-month-old baby…and no idea what to do. Sounds like a story you’ve heard before, right?

Add a curvy nanny they can’t keep their hands off and a summer vacation goes from sunny to scorching.

Stella:

I’m an up-and-coming plus-sized designer who gets strong-armed into playing nanny for a month so I’ll have enough money to put my fashion line into production. Sounds like an easy plan.

Only, the dad of that baby is my first crush. The star of my late-night fantasies beneath the sheets. The guy who never noticed I was alive.

Charles Harlow. Older. Rich as sin. Sex on a stick. And my step-brother.

I can handle this. One month caring for an adorable baby and my money troubles will be solved.

It’s living with three chiseled alphas that might be my downfall. Especially when innocent flirting with Jordan and Alex turns into nights of pleasure at their rough hands.

All while my employer…my step-brother…watches us with the look of a predator. He’s hungry for me too, but keeps his distance.

I’m the nanny. The hired help. The forbidden little sister. The longer Charles resists, the more explosive it will be when we give into our taboo desires.

One month… I’ll have my money to launch my fashion line and we’ll all go back to our lives as if none of this ever happened, right?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a quick, fun read. It is the second story in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series and I would recommend reading book number one first, because this one picks up not long after book one ended.. It was fast paced, funny and we go along with the main characters trying to help solve the mystery. I enjoyed this book and well written book. I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

I just love how these characters are total opposite and not in the way we’re used to in a genre like this. The female isn’t your normal damsel in distress as she knows the lay of the land, literally. The fact that it’s not your normal “fairy tale” makes this an interesting story to keep up with. I don’t want to give too much away but it’s the best story I’ve read in a minute as it kept you guessing but in unexpected ways.

I absolutely love when books branch out from such a singular, heteronormative style. It’s fantastic to read books that are inclusive. My only complaint with this book was that it was too short!! I’d love to revisit the romances; this would be a great book to create a series! It was a quick entertaining foray into a romance oft not found in novels. Loved it.

The best thing about this is that it was the complete collection of the Hawke family so you could delve into it and immerse yourself in the world for a while. The characters are complex, distinct, and well developed. I didn’t want the series to end! Perfect for some winter break reading while by the fire. You will not want to put it down!

The Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee

The Hawke Family Complete Collection is a collection of six books that make up The Hawke Family series. My first book by this author was Savage Collison and the rest is pretty much history. I never hesitate to read whatever she writes. Her style of writing along with her creative characters make for one heck of a story. Each one is about a different family member and we get glimpses of other characters. Her stories have just the right amount of steamy scenes that will have you turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. Her characters are real, relatable and fully developed which makes it easy to fall in love with them that much easier. I highly recommend reading this Complete Collection by this amazing author. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Dowry of Snails and Mud was interesting. I wasn’t too sure what I was reading at first. It took some time to pique my interest, but once it did I appreciated what it was. The author wrote a beautiful story that starts off kind of slow(don’t let that deter you) but turns into something so much more. A very strong female lead that grows even so much more throughout. I struggled to get into it but once I was, I couldn’t put it down. So worth it.
Rhia has been bartered to marry the King’s 6th son in hopes of the king forgiving her home for refusing to pay taxes on the land. Frustrated and treating it as the end of the world she does everything to make everyone miserable with her. Prince Emerys may be soft but he is no pushover. The push and pull between the two of them will be the end of Lians. Unfortunately dealing with the wildmen brings that potential to a screeching halt, but it could be just what they need.
Now saying all that, I’m sure you’re curious. Why would I go to the trouble? Because this story and author deserve some recognition for what was presented in this book. Keep an open mind and jump in. If you struggle like I did at first trust me when I stay push forward because it’ll be worth it!

A Dowry of Snails and Mud was such a delightful read. Two completely opposite people are forced to marry a stranger for the sake of their families. One from a small poor community, and the other is the Kings youngest son. Can these two put aside their differences for the sake of their people or will everything fall apart? Brittany Tucker did an amazing job with the depth of these characters. Both had lessons to learn and both found strength when everything seemed lost. Both have a way with people and their differences kind of balance each other out. I look forward to reading more by this author. If you’re on the fence about the book, definitely give it a try.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling Home by Libby Kay is a heart-warming, second-chance love story. It follows small-town high-school sweethearts Ginny and Max years after their divorce and Ginnys subsequent move to the big city. Going home to help her Father through surgery, Ginny isn’t exactly excited about being home or the holidays but she’s less excited to run into her ex-husband Max. However, life isn’t predictable and neither is the heart – putting both Max and Ginny into real, relatable situations. I liked the characters and the story left me intrigued to read the next book in the series.

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

There’s a wedding in the village and Rhiannon’s not happy about it. Actually, no one really is! Due to some poor mismanagement of his territory, Mr. Caddell is having to marry his daughter off to the King’s son. One would think that this would be a fantastic arrangement, especially for Rhia, but the King has six sons and she’s to marry the sixth…a rogue named Emerys.

Rhia and Emerys know nothing about each other before exchanging “I do’s” and it doesn’t seem like they are going to get to know each other if Rhia has anything to say about it. She’s doing everything she can to push Emerys away, not realizing that he feels the same as she does about many things.

Can they overcome these differences and save the land from the King’s clutches?

I loved this read! It’s a bit of a rom-com with a medieval twist. There are several very funny expressions and the way that Rhia acts…well I found myself giggling. She’s very independent and strong willed! The story kept me engaged the entire time.

This was a really good read! I was pleasantly surprised by this one, and it kept me entertained throughout reading it. I loved Rhia’s attitude, humor, and just general self. I giggled several times just from her internal thoughts about the royals. For a book that has somewhat of a mystery surrounding it and some turmoil with the king outlying people, it had a happy ending! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would definitely read more from this author in the future!

He is a patient loving guy and wants nothing but happiness for Ginny. She just want to chase her dreams. When she has to come back home to help her father she starts to question what her dreams really are. Would walking away from her life in the city really make her happy or resent Max forever? This story is such a sweet read and you really will fall in with Buckeye Falls. I am looking forward to reading more from this author and more about this small town!

Underboss’s Retaliation (Sicilian Gods Book 2) by Via Mari – Review by Dawn Brown

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

Coming from enemy mafias, Dominic and Emelia should not feel an attraction to each other, but they do. Aside from being forbidden, they should also stay away from each other because Dominic’s cousin has been kidnapped by Emelia’s father and Dominic has taken Emelia until his cousin is released. The biggest problem, though, is they just can’t stay away from each other.
Opinion
I’m a huge fan of Via Mari’s mafia books. While they offer some gore, they are much more about relationships, and not just between the man and woman but between family members as well. Just reading through them can almost make you envious of the support the families have.
This book was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the fact that Dominic and Emeila are from rival mafia’s. That is not necessarily something I expect in a mafia romance book.

This was definitely a cozy book to read during the Christmas season. A lot of people use this time to learn how to love again and get back in the Christmas spirit. Max still lives in Buckeye Falls, Ohio, and misses his Ex-Wife, Ginny. She comes back to visit her Dad after he had surgery. This became Max’s moment to get her back. He tries to win her over with Quesadillas and Christmas spirit. Ginny wanted nothing to do with Christmas, but was ringed into helping the town this year, and with Max. It was definitely a cute romance! 🙂

A Dowry of Snails and Mud is a YA enemies to lovers medieval Rom-Com. This is Brittany’s debut novel which is a little crazy, a lot quirky and the humour had me laughing out loud at times.
At a stalemate over money the Mayor and King decide an arranged marriage will solve their problems. The married couple are to con the other to get the money.
This historical romance stars sassy 16-year-old, Rhia who soon finds herself in an arranged marriage to help the town. Her marriage to her sick and useless husband is to ensure the greedy King gets what he wants from the town. Along the way Rhia finds that there is more to her husband and they find that working together to break down stereo typical thinking between classes that there is a better way for all.
Brittany’s writing makes the story flow easily and the adventure fun. There are characters that you will like and others not so much like the sourpuss Winnie.
If you love YA rom coms then you will love A Dowry of Snails and Mud.

Dahlia will forever be one of my favorite characters from a series as amazing as this! 🙂 We are at the final book and man, what an amazing ending! So much has happened with the other 4 books, and so much was added to this one book alone. Half of her team went to another world to retrieve Creed’s brother, as well as tackle what they can. While they are there, the apocalypse happens on Earth. Dahlia struggles with the dragon in her heart, I will always remember this series, and might even binge listen again! 🙂

A Dowry of Snails and Mud
By: Brittany Tucker

I went into this book not knowing what to expect. I picked it because the premise seemed promising, but then I never read anything quite like this – Historical Fiction with queens and kings and dowries. But I thought I would give it a chance.
I am so glad I did. Within the first few chapters I was hooked. I loved everything about this – the small village that is always under attack, the prince who is being punished by his father and set up to fail. A girl who wants all her problems to go away but she has been promised for marriage. Add to that snails and a good sense of humor and this is definitely a must read. I did not want to put it down. I definitely hope that there is going to be a sequel to this because I truly grew attached to the characters. I truly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun read!

This book turned out to be so much embittered than I was expecting. Historical romances I find hard to really fully connect with the characters because their journeys feel so far removed from me and yet this one I had no issues with at all. I thought the main character was so well written. It was easy to tmsee things from her perspective and really become invested in what was happening with her.
The story itself was well thought out and had such great detail to it. I really became absorbed in the storyline and enjoyed how the author had written it. This is my first unexpected read of the year and I am excited to discover more of her work.

I loved this book so much!! Everything about it appealed to me from the inner dialogue to the quirky sayings to the overall story. One time she said fart in a jam jar, and I laughed so hard at that! Rhiannon Caddell or Rhia as she is known is the main character. She is to marry the crown prince of Wales, Emerys. She is quite determined to not like him and to make his life miserable – not unreasonable when you are forced to marry someone. She discovers that maybe he isn’t too bad overall. He might even be able to help her land and people with the money they owe and with the wild men who attack them. I loved every second of this book and highly recommend it!

The narrator/main character of this story gives me Sherlock Holmes/Nancy Drew vibes. She’s drawn to questions and puzzles and puts herself in situations she shouldn’t by sheer stubborn will.
  Jessa travels with her aunt to a town called Milburn after her aunt receives a letter requesting help from a friend. In Milburn, near the Crossing, the Dyott Mill seems to be smothered in secrets and mysteries and it will take everything Jessa has, including what she’s scared of to solve the investigation and hopefully save the life of a few people.

Fun, quick and easy read for me. It felt like a cozy mystery with a few ghosts thrown in, which makes total sense with Elinor being a Ghost Talker. Being a visual person, I enjoyed picturing each and every scene. This is the second part of a six-part novella, and I read it first for one reason only; I wanted to see if it truly stood alone. In my opinion, it does. I would even feel comfortable suggesting this book to my 16-year-old granddaughter.
