Let’s talk about earthquakes. That is the storyline for this book. Caspian and cousin Belinda are at the table eating breakfast. When Belinda asks her grandfather for her own magic wand. That’s about where everything changes for Caspian and his family. Will the magic wand help in an earthquake? Does Belinda get a magic wand? Reading this story is the only way to find out. I have grown to love this author. Her children’s stories are not only fun to read but they are interactive as well. The characters are full of adventure and that opens the door for our children to ask questions. What a fun story to read. I hope you enjoy this story as much as my kid did.
If this is how my reading year is starting I say roll on 2023 !!What an epic way to start 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So I was spoilt with not but 6 books in 1 ❣️📕 how did I do it , well it’s like eating an elephant , bit for bit 🤭😂 what an absolute treat this was !!
SAVAGE COLLISION
When Danika storms into Savage’s office I brace myself but this girl is afraid of nothing and I wasn’t sure who was more entertained me or Savage😉
There is not a scared hair on Danika’s head and as an investigative reporter that serves her well but it also gets her into a rather precarious position and thank all that is good that Savage and Gabe are around but for every action there’s a reaction and it adds a lot of suspense to the tension between Danika and Savage 😱nail biting , riveting and absolute brilliance !
Savage has issues and demons of his own as does Gabe but these 2 friends are lifers and watching them deal with their issues was a gift , a privelage and it made them human 🤗 I just love these guys and I know I shouldn’t have favorites but Savage you’re it for me 😉🥰
TORTURED SKYE
I don’t blame Skye for kissing Gabe ! If it wasn’t for Savage owning my heart I’d have been all over Gabe like a bad rash 🤭 but this can only get complicated 🙈bring it on 😉
Both Skye and Gabe have had some serious pain and loss and those scars stay behind but these 2 are pure perfection together and HOT 🥰🔥
I must say these 2 have had me on the edge of my seat and emotionally rather drained but it was oh so worth it 😉❣️📕
STONE SOBER
How hot is this cover !?! I nearly self combusted and I hadn’t even started reading 🥰😂🔥🤭
Stone is that every man hates and every woman wants ! Good grief I think he could make a nun denounce her vows #truestory#
Now Nora may be a dancer in the club but there’s a purity and an innocence to her that Stone finds appealing and let me say she’s one lucky girl to have attracted his attention 🫶🏼
This series is like aging red wine each one is better than the previous one and I just so invested in these Hawke boys!
I laughed , I cried , ok I sobbed and just remember secrets always have a way of coming out .
This was beautifully twisted and I loved every single moment ❣️📕
BUILDING STORM
Storm and Landon ripped my heart out !
Storm is an exceptionally strong woman to have survived all that she has and not be swallowed by sadness and bitterness blows my mind !
Landon is hurting and dealing with things and I think that’s what helps him be more empathetic to Storm and he draws from himself to help get heal
When these 2 got together I was panicking , I thought this was going to be a recipe for disaster but these 2 are just pure perfection and they had be all hot and bothered most of the time but there were moments where I didn’t think I had any more tears left , this Hawke family is going to be the end of me yet 🥰
TAINTED SAINT
Caroline and Saint had me all over the place if I must be honest and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m so emotional over the Hawkes that I’m sensitive but I just want peace and serenity for these people and we’ve journeyed together now ,, they feel more like family than friends 🥰
Saint may be a BIG man but he’s a real old softy don’t let his size fool you and Caroline is all bark and no bite and these 2 are soooooo good together 🥰
STEELE RESOLVE
I met the Abellos a long time ago , like 5 books back and they’re not the type I would want to cross but everyone no matter how strong or mean or cruel they seem have a soft spot somewhere , we all have an Achilles, even the Abellos 😉 Luca show us the softer side of his family
This was a different read to the others to a degree , yes it did make me feel a little uncomfortable but that doesn’t take anything away from the pure brilliance of this series in actual fact it shows the diversity of the author and that right there already earns 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Byron managed the club and his “ affiliation “ with Luca had me on edge , there’s so much at risk and I was on the edge of my seat , yet again 😱😂
I didn’t want the series to end but the saying all good things come to an end and I may have got to the last page but the Hawkes will always be in my heart !

The Husbands is an exciting and unconventional romance. I have enjoyed other books by the author – predominantly fantasy – so it was interesting to read her work in a different genre. I particularly enjoyed that it’s very much a bisexual romance. Dorian and Augustine falling for each other doesn’t negate their feelings for their wives. I also enjoyed how much the story is driven by Magnolia and Aubrielle’s friendship! Dorian and Augustine’s complicated history, as well as the secrets they are keeping from each other, add layers of interest to the story. Can they find a way to make things work, or would they have been better off never seeing each other again as they’d originally planned? This is a great read, it gets five stars from me! If you’ve enjoyed other books by this author do give it a try – I enjoy the diverse queer relationships in her books and this story gives you that! And I’d recommend it to fans of LGBT+ romance.

This is an enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance novel, which kept me captivated from page one. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone story. The marriage-of-convenience Hollywood romance theme intrigued me from the start and the storyline had me hooked. Both Abi and Finn enter the reality TV show, ‘Married Blind’, for very different reasons, but they both agree that the first time they meet they will get married, and stay married for three months. For Abi it means taking a break from her regularly scheduled life in which she’s working three jobs, and in which she has no time or the opportunity to meet ‘Mr Right’. Meanwhile Finn’s reason is simple as his agent signs him up in order to rehab his image and salvage his career after his latest sexcapade. For Finn the role of a 24-hour loving husband on a reality TV show will be the hardest part he has to play. Abi definitely did not expect a reality TV husband to be ‘The One’, and Finn never thought that he would have the perfect woman chosen for him. But the problem with reality TV is that it’s difficult to know, what is for the show and what is for real. I loved Abi and Finn as they are both likeable and relatable in their own ways. Their chemistry really comes across in the narrative, and I was cheering them on hoping they would both get their HEA.

This book was a good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a story about a peasant girl who is fiesty, has her own mind and bows down to no one. She is forced into a marriage with a Prince in the hopes of saving her village. Needless to say the marriage isn’t a happy one and things go wrong. They are losing the village and now the Prince has been kidnapped by a tribe called the Wildmen sworn enemies of the people of Lians. Now the Princess has to use everything ounce of courage and strength inside her, that the royals don’t like such as her not backing down from a fight or her sharp tongue to try and rescue the Prince which she now realises she does actually love and save her village. Can she save the Prince in time? Will her village be saved or destroyed? And how will the snail’s Rhiannon despises become something she truly adores?

This novella is a prequel to the Blood Fae series. It is the first work I have picked up from this author, and I am not disappointed. This is a quick, but compelling, read. The main character, Jessa, is relatable, and I had no problem falling into the world of the fae along with her. As Jessa struggles with coming to terms of who she really is and what she really wants, there is no shortage of mystery and intrigue, as well as vibrant storytelling. I absolutely will be looking into more work from this author. I highly recommend this short book! You will wish it were longer!

Practically Pagan An Alternative Guide To Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie is a book I wouldn’t have thought to pick up and read – I’m not a practicing magic type of person. However, this book was quite surprising and I made tons of connections within it to my own life. A couple of quotes from the book that spoke to me: “Look for the beauty in the little things too often overlooked in our rush to get from one place to the next.” “The Divine Feminine is the nurturing and creative energy within all of us, regardless of our gener – she represents healthy sexuality and relationships…” This book is about the five major parts of everyday magic… “radical self-care, routine as ritual, pleasure magic, synchronicity, and exploring the energies of the un/expected.” It talks about tuning into yourself and your connection withe universe instead of manipulating things to get desired outcomes… to trust the path you are on is the correct path. As an educator, wife, mother, woman, the idea of self care and self love is so important. So be okay to find the quiet time to focus and practice listening to your mind, body and spirit.

This was a really quick and fun read. It’s the prequel to a series that I am excited to read. The world building was good and the mysteries surround the main part of the story was really interesting. I hope Jessa steps out of her shell more as the story goes on. Ready for more.

Holy Moly!! Talk about hot!! If I was able to give 10 stars…. I would in a heartbeat! This is a prequel to the Hawke Family Second Generation Series, and I definitely recommend reading! It’s a super quick read but let me tell you….it is an attention grabber from the first paragraph! I truly couldn’t put this book down…. the book had me thinking…. Christian Grey who! I’m not going to give away anything from the book, but dang…there’s a LOT of spicy! You want to talk about secrets, romance, plenty of emotion, and of course hot as hell spice! This was an extremely entertaining book and I sat down and read this in one sitting and was beyond prepared for the next book! And let’s talk about the way the author leaves us on a cliffhanger?! All I have to say is that I’m ready for the next book, and I 100% recommend this book…especially if you’re into hot romances with a little bit of mystery! Happy Reading!

This is an enjoyable and entertaining YA historical romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Set in Wales, and sixteen year old Rhia Caddell lives in a small village, with her father who is the Mayor, and she works the land as a farmer. With the village in debt to the king, Rhia’s father agrees to an arranged marriage between her and the Prince of Wales. However, Rhia is not impressed by the “oh-so-dainty Prince of Wales”, after all, “what good is a man who can’t out-lift her or bring a belligerent steer to the ground.” Rhia sets out to either whoo or intimidate, whichever works best, her new husband in order to get him to erase the village’s debt. Unfortunately, the Prince has been told to sway his wife into giving over the gold in order to earn his father’s approval. For Rhia, the outcome is either to lose the only life and home she’s ever known to the king, or give up the fragile prince who she’s tried hard not to fall in love with, but she has. I loved the likeable and relatable characters in this romantic comedy, and especially liked the dynamic between the Prince and Rhia. The storyline flowed well and the plot had plenty going on in it to keep me hooked. The descriptive narrative and added historical details made the characters and the setting come to life, making me feel immersed in the story.

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.

This is the final book in the series, and I have eaten up every single one. Having the audio version available is such a treat! Cassandra King is a phenomenal narrator who does justice to the series. She really plays Dahlia well, making the character come alive in a new way.
As far as the story goes, Dahlia has remained true to her core self. Without giving in spoilers away, she has also evolved into something quite new. Her supporting roles and friends along the way have developed, as well as the world(s) around her. This is such a unique story line, and is such an easy decision to pick up and read. You definitely won’t regret it.
I do have to say even the villains/anti-heroes I find myself empathizing with, or at least seeing from their perspective. This is such a nice wrap up to an enthralling fantasy series I know without a doubt I will be reading again. It was also, just a little bit of a shock I was not expecting!!! While Dahlia isn’t the most lovable character, she certainly is inspiring, strong, and extremely loyal. I haven’t met a character or being quite like her yet, and it was such a pleasure to hear her story. Love, love, love this series.

Schneider Reviewed by Taylor K Stephenson
Hagen drags himself to the gates of Hell, body and soul shredded by the bloodlust that consumes all the unmated of his kind. Awaiting the painful atonement that will buy him ten more years to find his eternal mate—or face oblivion. But Hades himself kicks him out with the bloodlust still prowling, unsatisfied, in his veins.
Bargained away by her parents to Master O, a mysterious, cruel wizard, Faiza serves in his household, keeping her small magic a secret, plagued by wild, confusing visions of a strange, suffering man. Then the master brings home a wounded Titanian warrior whose touch sends ice, fire, and desire racing through her body.
When she learns Master O plans to use Hagen as a weapon to conquer all races, she devises a desperate plan to free him—a plan that opens a portal to a world she’s never known. And a destiny entwined with danger that could destroy them all.
16-year-old, Rhia Caddell, doesn’t know what’s worse—arranged marriages or high finance.
Now she’s stuck with both when her desperate father agrees to marry her to the oh-so-dainty Prince of Wales in an attempt at royal tax negotiations. As a farmer, Rhia prefers toiling in the earth over romance. Life in a fiefdom requires muscle, and what good is a man who can’t outlift her or bring a belligerent steer to the ground?
But now, the pressure has fallen onto her to whoo (or intimidate) her new, royal husband into erasing her village’s debt before the king’s final deadline comes due. Problem is, the prince has been given the same task—to sway his new wife, the mayor’s daughter, into forking over the gold and finally earning his father’s approval.
For Rhia, losing their new, delicate game would mean turning over the only life and home she’s ever known to the king. Winning, though, could mean giving up the fragile prince she’s tried so hard, and failed, not to love.

Night-Hawke is a very very fun and easy read especially when you want to escape reality for a little bit. The way the characters interact with each other is amazing. Both the main characters compliment each other well. If you want a lot of steamy romance then this is the book for you.

The Hawke Family Complete Series is fantastic! If you enjoy steamy, spicy, action-packed drama, romance, and so much more this series is for you! The web this author weaves connecting everyone worked out beautifully. The Hawke Family is more than just blood relatives, its friends and coworkers/employees as well. This Collection consists of 6 books, each their own. Each one involves all characters throughout, but each focusing on a specific two. Written from the point of view of both main characters. I enjoy when authors do that because then you know what each character is thinking and what the author might’ve been thinking when writing them. Savage Collision – Savage & Danika Tortured Skye – Gabe & Skye Stone Sober – Nora & Stone Building Storm – Landon & Storm Tainted Saint – Caroline & Saint Steele Resolve – Byron & Luca I enjoy and appreciate each book in a different light. However there were two books that stuck out to me. Two books that rose to the top for me, which were Stone Sober & Tortured Skye. I loved both of them. I was pulled to Stone even before his novel, I wanted a deeper dive into his character, and man the author definitely did not disappoint. Everything he went through and dealt with reading and digesting it just made me love him even more. Yes, Stone is my favorite Hawke Family member. Stone and Skye were the most troubled Hawke siblings, however they were all broken souls, that gave me hope they would grow and mend themselves even “adopted” son/brother Gabe. These books are hard to put down, there’s just so much going on, that sometimes it could seem too much. However the balance the author gives throughout gives you time to digest even in thoses moment. Is there love? Yes Is there happiness? Yes Is there tragedy? Unfortunately Is there action? Absolutely Those are just a few reminders on why you should jump into this world. Am I going to say what happens in what books? Absolutely not, what’s the fun in that! It’s up to you to read THEM!
Savage Collision The first book in this series really sets the stage (plot wise) for the rest of the stories. It gets going really quick, and you literally have to hang on for the ride. Loved the build up and the twist the author threw at us! I also enjoyed the details we got to see about the businesses he was running. You get a deep respect really quick for the hero. Loved the chemistry between Savage and Dani!
Tortured Skye The second book is about Savage’s little sister Skye. Her romance starts out with that forbidden attraction and it is delicious! Gotta love that scenario! Of all the characters, Skye’s personality is my least favorite. With that said, I still enjoyed her love story, and definitely how good her man is for her. The plot line that was started in first book continues, so my advice is to read in order even if someone’s story draws you more.
Stone Sober Stone is the black sheep in the family, and I was concerned where his story would take us. His romantic interest is also off limits, and it heightens this storyline with a hint of danger. Just reading a few pages will have you worried about Nora, about Stone’s association with Dom, and impending doom for this family you have started to love.
Building Storm This was my favorite book in the series. Storm is everything I love in a female lead. Landon seeing her pain and determined to help her thru it was one of the most romantic scenarios that I’ve ever read. The way the author wrote their first meeting, second meeting, their love scenes at the beginning with Storm holding back, and the moment she finally lets go was just beautiful. Very realistic to the way grief works. I connected with this character in a way I didn’t expect. I was moved reading this story in a way I haven’t been in a long time.
Tainted Saint Novella length, but has so much that happens. Saint and Caroline’s story starts off at a masquerade party, and I just love it. They are freaking perfect together!
Steele Resolve Steele Resolve is an unexpected twist to the stories we have been reading. This one also has a forbidden romance with the two being involved with the mob and the Hawke family. It is a great plot and this story is the final installment of that plot. A great story to wrap it all up even though I am sad it is ending! Seriously, one of the best series I have ever read!

Night Hawke by Gwyn Mcnamee was a fantastic, spicy, quick introduction to book number 1 in the second generation Hawke family series. If you have read the first generation series about the Hawke family you read the books about the characters parents, which is an amazing series, and definitely a worthwhile read. Night Hawke is about Issac Hawke and a mystery girl that he meets in a bar and the instant lust and attraction that they experience. They agree to one night of fun, anonymous, with no names, and agree to leave each other in the morning. What could be better, right? I read this book in about an hour or so but it definitely has me on the hook waiting for book number one in this series to be released.

“Jack” and “Nolan” meet at a bar, like most people do. They both expect a fun time to help them forget their real responsibilities and roles in life. Turns out, that’s impossible. In this short story, you follow two very enticing characters through their 2 days together. I can’t wait to read the next book, which continues this short story. Read this if you like steamy scenes, amazing detail, and character development.

I was delightfully surprised by how much I loved this book, even more so than the first! A twist of romance in this paranormal delight made it easy for me to devour this book in a short time, despite the romance part moving a bit slower than the previous novel. I am so in love with how the author puts hard work into developing each and every character in his books, makes it SO much easier to feel like you are a part of the drama in the story. I was happy that this picked up shortly after the ending of the first book and also talks a bit about what happens between the novels. No doubt will I be reading the next book in the series!

As someone who has always been interested in what lies await for us in the afterlife, upon hearing that this series focuses on a medium in the Morpheus Society, I knew it was a no-brainer that I had to read this book. I have always been interested in the 1900s, which is when this book takes place, so enjoyed seeing ‘signs of the times’ throughout the story of a heroine and a duke up against a ghost. I loved the slow-burning romance that takes place between the two main characters, and found other characters you encounter to be well-written as well. I hope to see more of these characters in future novels, this one is certainly not the last that I will read by the author. Delicious Death, here I come!
What a great prequel! This book makes me so excited to read the series. This was a quick read that packed a punch with great chemistry between Jack and Isaac, and a weekend full of steamy moments. I have no doubt that the second generation of Hawke’s will be just as good as the first. This author has a way of pulling you into the story line and keeping you entertained. This book leaves you on a cliffhanger wanting more. This is a must read.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat! This is the prequel to the Hawke Family Second Generation Series! Super quick read but my gosh did it grab my attention from the first paragraph! I simply could NOT put this book down. I’m not writing any spoilers but just know the SPICE is 🔥 for being a short read the connection between the two main characters was incredible! There’s secrets, there’s romance, there’s angst, there hot as hell spice! I loved it all. I fell in love with the characters so damn fast that I need more! I read this in one sitting and when it ended, I screamed. Because I didn’t want the story to end lol. And that cliffhanger? My goodness. I can’t wait to read the next book!! Because I’m addicted to this one! Highly highly HIGHLY recommend!

A little boy who has an invisible magic wand. He can make thing speed up or slow down. His cousin Belinda also wants one. As soon as she gets hers an earthquake happens and they have to use their wands to speed up time to help them get out. It is a cute kids book, my little one loved it.
I hadn’t read anything from Gwyn McNamee before, but I am *extremely* glad I picked this up. I was entranced from the first chapter and couldn’t get enough of this story! I couldn’t believe such a short read could have me so involved with the characters. The author did an outstanding job with this, and I have already picked up another collection of hers as soon as I finished this one. Night Hawke definitely has plenty of heat in it, pick it up and give this incredible author a read!

This series is fantastic….and I highly recommend listening this series from the beginning but it is also bittersweet it is the end…..
Dahlia, a dragon shifter, is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the fall of Sentinel City…but with missing friends, the veil between the worlds, monsters galore…..will Dahlia finally bring her inner dragon out to help save the world?!?!
There is so much to this story… details that grab you and adventure and action that await! While I am sad this series is over (but will definitely listen to all the books again) I’m excited to see what the author brings out next for my listening pleasure.

Schneider – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
“The Taste of Light” is intense, yet beautiful which is exactly what I expected having already read “The True Purpose of Vines.” The villain from book 1 is the main character in book 2, an interesting twist. The depth of the characters is remarkable. Pedro, Count of Almoster, is dark and broody, yet we see just enough light in him to root for his deliverance. Nothing in Pedro’s life has been easy, but he is so much more that what has happened to him. Anne is more than the young and naïve girl initially presented. She is resilient, resourceful, and the angel Pedro needs. Their story is a beautiful and passionate despite Pedro’s rocky past with Anne’s brother and sister-in-law. The world-building in “The Taste of Light” was phenomenal and beautifully done. The descriptions are perfect and create a brilliant picture for the reader. The final scene with Ulrich seemed more like a movie than a book due to the descriptions, bringing the scene to life. Intense is an understatement. “The Taste of Light” is an extraordinarily stunning story of deliverance for the dark Count of Almoster.

This is my first book by Gwyn McNamee and it most certainly will not be my last. This was an incredibly steamy romance that, like the characters, left me wanting more. Isaac and Jack were written with such depth and intrigue that I truly enjoyed them. This was definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I will caution that this book is incredibly steamy. I loved that about it though. This is the prequel to the Hawke Family series, however it definitely stands alone. I have not read a single book in this series and I was able to follow it all without being the least bit confused.
