Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie’s Grotto) by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah – Review by Ayla Eddy

Nessie and the Viking GoldNessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another cute story following Nessie, Craig, and Linda. The siblings are at a concert, but this event is causing problems for Nessie in her grotto. It was an enjoyable adventure story perfect for bedtime with my tiny humans. Having read the first book previously for a bedtime story the kids were excited to continue with these characters. 

I highly recommend this as a bedtime story for younger children. My family looks forward to reading more books by this author.

Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance Prequel (Hidden Valley Elite Series) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Ashley Lape

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite series and authors. I have read every book this author has published and they keep getting better. This book was the prequel to Savage Start. Cole and Riley have a rocky start. Riley is trying to not be noticed at a house party but when a goth chick walks into Ken and Barbie’s party is pretty hard to stay undetectable. Especially when the hot eye candy that is giving alpha male vibes catches Riley where she has no business being. This book gives an insight as to what happens to Cole and Damon´s parent’s marriage and the tragedy that taints his family name. I can’t wait to see what else this author comes out with!

This woman goes on quite the journey. I enjoyed reading this fast paced story. Never really knowing what would happen next or who I could trust. I like stories that make it difficult for me to figure it out. I always had hope just like Margo does and was not disappointed in the ending. I could easily see myself reading more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore Lois Wickstrom’s stories. They’ve quickly become a favorite for me to recommend to my educator friends. Her quirky stories, full of whimsy and magic, and brightly illustrated pages. Such a great thing to have in every classroom library. The Round Box is just another one of the many stories I’ve added to my collection I’m building for my nephew. He loves when I read him the stories (he’s almost 4) and I’m hoping that one day, he will enjoy reading them on his own.

Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie's Grotto)Nessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nessie and the Viking Gold is the delightful second magical book in the Nessie’s Grotto series. The beautiful cover and illustrations by Sara Silvestris Strand bring the story to life making it an even more imaginative and captivating tale.
The story is 47 pages and is aimed at children aged between 7 -12 years old, but it is a fun read for children of any age. My grandchildren aged 3 and 5 really enjoyed this engaging story even though they could not read it their little eyes lit up as they went on this adventure.
Craig and Linda find themselves caught up in another fantastical adventure with the Loch Ness Monster and the hidden mystical world beneath Loch Ness where there is action, magic and a little suspense.
What do the Loch Ness Monster, Viking treasure and a rock concert have in common? To find out you will have to read it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our entire household loves every book I bring home by this author, and this one is no different! Both of my kiddos are always excited when we open a story to see where it takes us, and we went on a really cool journey this time around. I enjoy how some of the words are in different fonts, so they feel different. The illustrations are also cute and fitting. Carrie misses her grandma and can’t seem to find anything interesting to do. Nothing seems fun throughout the entire house. Once she finds a box that’s a little bit different, everything changes! This sparked our imaginations so much that we made our own ‘Fascinators’ to play along. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the young ones in your family or at school!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a cute tale about a little girl who is bored and misses her grandma who moved. So, in search of something to do to make herself feel happy, Carrie looks through the stuff grandma left behind. At the bottom of the closet she finds a round hat box labeled fascinator, and this is where her fun adventure begins, using her imagination as the key.

I love the cover art and wish the inside art was more like that. Although the illustrations do flow with the story, I just found the cover art more aesthetically pleasing. This is a fun book about the power of imagination and all the places your imagination can take you.

Nessie and the Viking GoldNessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This has been my least favorite book by this author so far, but it’s still an enjoyable story.

Everyone’s favorite rock star is in town for a big concert. However, when Craig and his sister go back to visit with Nessie, they learn that all the drumming is causing issues in Nessie’s grotto. Can they stop the concert and save the grotto before it’s too late?

It was a good story but it did seem to lack some plot development. This is the second book in this series and I have read the first one prior to this one. This is a book that is a bit longer than most of this author’s style of books as well, so maybe that’s a bit why. I would still recommend this book to be read by young readers or reading it to younger listeners.

Having only read the previous book in the series recently, we were excited to get our hands on this story. This is a great follow up to the first book and it was nice to see my children remember the characters and re-engage with them. This story was just as fun and exciting to read and it was lovely to join Craig and Linda on another adventure.
With every book I read by this author I always think that the next one can’t be as good. Yet time and time again she proves otherwise. I am already looking forward to the next book we can read as a family and always enjoy reading each and every book again. I would highly recommend this author and this book.

Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden Valley is a typical place for those made of money, the elite of the elite and they know who they are and how they are supposed to behave, but for one young woman who tries to blend in wherever she is, she stands out.

She is young but has experienced a lot in her short life so far and she is hoping that here is the new start she wants, but she is also always looking over her shoulder and around her for her next grift.

This doesn’t perfectly when she goes for a walk on the beach, spots a target and tries her hand, however she finds something else altogether, something much more dangerous.

A gorgeous boy who kisses her such a way that she forgets where she is, but will this boy be her downfall, and will she be able to escape if she needs to? This is a fast-paced novella with an “opposites attract” theme where emotions are dangerous and grifting should be easy, but plans are seldom straightforward.

Ariella Talix is a new-to-me author and I had no idea what to expect with her writing. I enjoyed the easy banter, characters, and plot of this story. It’s definitely a spicy one, so be prepared!
When the three main characters, Weston. Callum, and Petra, all find themselves living together after some undesirable circumstances they find that being roommates is a tall order to fill.
Getting the perspective from each character is perfect for this book as there are so many things to consider from each perspective. Group Hug is a story of friendship, love, and overcoming obstacles.

You will be taken away into a fantasy world/ I found myself caught up in the characters and their story lines and it was really hard to put the book down. Every time I got a few minutes I caught myself sitting down to read just a little more.

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: WolfKingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf by R.C. Reigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns is the first book in this series about four young royals managing their way through a school that began as a way for different kingdoms to build relationships with one another. Coming out of a war that their parents almost lost against the underworld, the royals realized that they had to stop infighting so that they could defeat their common enemy. The forming of a school to teach their children altogether is their hope for a better future of peace. However, their children also have a mind of their own.

Amelia of Avonlee has been promised to Dane of Carpathia and is not too happy about it. She would much rather choose her own path. Dane does not want to make anyone do anything they do not want to do, but fate steps in and has other plans. Cora wants nothing but her cousin Amelia’s happiness and safety. Kessara, the necromancer’s daughter, is a loner that just wants to cause chaos. New friendships are made, hearts are crushed, and attacks abound on this new school. Can these teens work together or will they end up mortal enemies?

This is my first time reading this author. I have to say, I really enjoyed this book! I would have liked more background information on the war, but there is enough given that I could piece it together. The characters were easy to read about and picture in my mind. The relationships made, the self-discovery, and disappointments were relatable even though it is fantasy. I am looking forward to the next book to see where this story goes, especially with Kessara. I hope the author will surprise the readers with a character twist!

Weston has hit a bump in the road, with his relationship gone and a house which he wants to keep as it holds memories of his grandad but as his financial position becomes more of a problem he is forced to seek a room mate. So when he adds to advert to the site he receives instantly two applications.

Callum is fresh out of school and just embarking on his career as a chef, this is the perfect place to stay but with his two new room mates, can he divert the attraction to both of them to concentrate on his career.

Petra has just come out of a horrendous situation, a bad relationship and her last room mate was not the best and arriving here to meet Weston and Callum she is loving the vibes and it helps they are both gorgeous. Having a safe place for her and her dog to stay is great but these two hunks are a added bonus.

This a lovely story and the chemistry is off the charts. I love all the characters although Weston is my favourite if I had to choose.

I thought the dynamic was brilliant and as it is written in all three point of views it is heart warming to read how there love for each grows with each chapter. With each character struggling with issues in there lives they become closer and start to become a family of sorts including the four legged family members too. The story is well written and the characters are well developed and draw you into the story.

I loved the this story and can’t wait to read more books by this wonderfully talented author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Botosoni has a lead to the rogue elements trying to bring down the Consulate but can he follow the rules and stay away from her or is the attraction too much for him to resist.

Catina has visions of where the shifter den is but when she is enlisted by the consulate to find the rogue Vampires and shifters but when her vision leads her into danger can she get out in time or is her fate sealed.

This is the ninth in the series and they just get better with each instalment. The chemistry between Catina and Master Botosoni is off the chart and I always love the loyalty these alpha man have to the charges they have, it is just brilliant to read. Although these are relative short stories they definitely pack a punch and leave you wanting more and more.

I can’t wait to see who the next Master’s story will be and get closer to them getting rid of the rogue elements.

What a wonderful story. Could this moody wounded soldier and fearful librarian come together? This story showed that challenges could be overcome and not to judge a book by its cover. I really enjoyed seeing this relationship develop. They overcame a lot. She worked through her fears to be come more confident and he learned to let another in. The narration was done well. I always wish for a male voice to do the the male. However, this narration was quite enjoyable. It’s an experience I do recommend.

Born of the Shinree, an enslaved fallen race, Ian Troy is magically bound to protect the kingdom of Rella. Since childhood, he trained to be their champion in a seemingly never-ending war. Called to the battlefield a brash young man of seventeen, Troy is anxious to show off his prowess with both magic and blade. He believes his role is vital to the realms of Mirra’kelan finally knowing peace.
Only, war is nothing like he thought.
After a year of being mistrusted and shunned simply for the blood in his veins—his magic restrained by an authoritarian queen—Troy has grudgingly learned his place. He follows orders and suffers their abuse in silence because the cost of insolence is a chain around his neck.
When Queen Aylagar handpicks him for a mission deep inside enemy territory, he thinks his time has come. Fate willing, he will prove to them all: Ian Troy is more than the “witch” they believe.

The Rocklyns Collection is a boxed set containing seven books in The Rocklyns series by Alicia Street. This is my favourite series by Ms. Street, so far- so having these seven books in one romantic package was a fantastic find, especially as there was no waiting between books- and I got to have a great binge session.
Each book in the series could be read as a standalone if you wanted- as the series follows the Rocklyn siblings, with each sibling getting their own book. But trust me, you are going to want to read them all as they are all really wonderful characters.
This is a fantastic, well-written, contemporary romance series- with characters who drew me into their story and kept me turning the pages to follow them while their story unfolded. They are all so well developed and complicated individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. They were crafted in such a way that they were entirely realistic, relatable and believable. I was invested in every one of them and the outcome of every story.
There’s a lot to keep you engrossed- from second chances, different worlds/opposite attract, secret baby, grumpy/sunshine, forbidden love, finding love unexpectedly, secrets, drama, angst, and the healing power of love- just to name a few.
Seven books for the price of one- now that’s a bargain!
The Box Set contains:
-Lovers in Training (Book #1)
-Maybe Lovers (Book #2)
-Rainy Day Lovers (Book #3)
-Encore Lovers (Book #4)
-Never Lovers (Book #5)
-Improbable Lovers (Book #6)

Group HugGroup Hug by Ariella Talix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve read a few books by this author. All of which being about the same concept and idea just different scenarios. I have to say Group Hug is probably my favorite. The author brings together 3 people from different backgrounds and takes the reader on adventure. All of which have a path to self discovery in some way. It’s just how that comes about that makes this an interesting story.
Weston, Callum, and Petra are brought together by a roommate posted by Weston. Weston was at the point in his life he couldn’t afford his home anymore, so why not find a roommate. What he didn’t expect was to find 2. Let alone be attracted to both of them. Weston lost all but his grandfather young from a freak accident. So when his grandfather passed he was alone.
Callum is ready to get out of his parents house, and the ad was the most attractive option. Because he was running behind he ended up taking the tour of the house with another potential tenant. Striving to create a life for himself in the culinary world. Callum has a decent family who is always there that loves and supports him. However nothing was ever easy for them.
Petra needs a new place and needs it fast. Being recently kicked out of her current home due to the dog she adopted. To her luck Weston was willing to open his home up to both her and Callum. Petra is from a hope with absent parents. Growing up with a slight silver spoon she never knew was family and love were.
Navigating the attraction between these 3 is never easy. And because of that it starts out extremely awkward.
The question is: Will it work out or are they just having fun?
3 very different people but the same in every way . Which is the lesson they realize throughout. Which comes with acceptance of what they have.
This is definitely and MMF menage gives the reader laughs, sadness, smile, and some spiciness as well.
