BOOKBUB – The Other Side of Together by Emily Cox and Nicole Allen
An evocative story of first love, possibility, and rewriting our destinies, this YA romance captures the ache of Laura Nowlin with a romantic innocence reminiscent of Jenny Han.
Marcus is destined for big things. He’s a star soccer player, a straight-A student, and gorgeous beyond the hopes of most girls. Especially since they’re off limits. Because of his detective dad’s painful past with women, Marcus made a bet with him to avoid girls until after high school. So far, so good.
Mei Li’s world is anything but bright. She’s a pawn in a dangerous game to keep her and her family in America but dreams of a very different life. However, dreams turn to fear when she discovers the guy she’s supposed to trust with her heart is more disturbed than she could ever imagine.
Even though Mei Li and Marcus live around the corner from each other in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the only thing they have in common is a trolley stop. Until the day they step through the same shop door and into a new possibility.
What starts as secret notes and texts quickly becomes a desperate attempt to be together. But together is impossible. Opposing futures, a tangle of dark connections, and one big secret come between them, forcing them to risk their safety for love or leave the possibility of together behind forever.

We’re Emily Cox and Nicole Allen, and our book The Other Side of Together will be released in January 2024 by Monster Ivy Publishing. We’ve been co-writing “Clean Steam” YA novels for twelve years and have been picked up, dropped, hopeful, and discouraged but always fearless.

Emily Cox is a fast-walking cloud watching, big thinker who believes in aliens, has superior hearing, a mostly-titanium face, and a rhyming maiden and married name (Box-Cox). She lives in Utah in a house of all boys and two fluffy writing assistants. She had a hard time choosing only one dream job so she has three: counselor, teen social/emotional wellness coach, and author. She loves to plan all kinds of trips then take them, read multiple books at a time, and explore new places, cultures, and ideas.  The inside of her head is the craziest place she’s ever dared explore.

Nicole Allen is a crime podcast junkie, travel enthusiast, and Diet Coke addict who not-so-secretly hopes heaven looks exactly like Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A. She fills her head with and likes to share useless, random facts and news headlines, has crazy-vivid dreams almost nightly, believes in karma, but is skeptical about dinosaurs (sorry paleontologists). When she’s not writing novels, she loves acting in and watching live theater, is president of a local theater company and runs a youth theater group. She resides in Utah with her supportive rockstar husband (and webmaster), three amazing kids, and two adorable cats.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deja Brew had me laughing out loud. The characters are great. The family drama is real and so funny. Mango is just a delight. Cash was out to break hearts and take names.

Maisy has everything on the line. Her brother, her future, her dad’s approval all hinge on this one little thing that she is about to do. She just can’t bring herself to do it. All she has to do is walk down the aisle and say, “I do.” But, she can’t. Maisy doesn’t know how she will figure out any of the rest of the stuff but she does the one thing that she can. She runs. In her wedding dress and all. Maisy lands herself in the least expected place of all. Miller’s car.

Miller is getting out of the courthouse for something he has not told his family about when he is sitting in the car and she opens his doors, sits down, and tells him to take off. Miller doesn’t know who she is or what is going on, but he puts the pedal to the metal. Miller can’t hide his attraction to this beauty that just plopped herself into his life. While Miller is trying to figure out how to right a few wrongs from his past, he needs to figure out what is chasing this bride and how to protect her.

As Maisy fights to keep her brother, Miller is haunted by his past. As Miller and Maisy grow closer, their problems try to tear them apart. When Maisy has to make a choice of a lifetime, Miller is devastated. Miller finds a way to help Maisy and Cash. So cute!!

This is an amazing addition to this fabulous series. Love the characters. Love the family. Love the humor. Can’t wait for Lynn’s story!! If you haven’t already found a reason to jump into this series, this is it. Maisy, Miller and Cash will win you over in a heartbeat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had it’s grasp on me from the very beginning. I’m usually a very slow reader, but once I got started with this one I couldn’t put it down. I love the characters and their personalities, the banter between Maisey and Miller, and the quirky funny personality of her little brother Bear. There were a couple spicy scenes between the main characters, but they were pretty mild in my opinion, which is great because I’m not much into heavy smut. I think Miller made a great cinnamon roll character. The rumored bad boy with a sweet side determined to protect the people close to him. There were some good twists in the story as well with Miller’s past chasing him down and Maiseys overbearing parents. Overall I really loved the book and will definitely be reading more from this author

I enjoyed this book so much. Enemies to lovers are my favorite type of romance novels and this one hit the mark. Julia and Griffin couldn’t be more different yet just exactly what each other needs. The book cover is beautifully done and the way the story is written really captures that time frame. Definitely give this story a read, you won’t regret it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a quick, fun, slow burn beach read and I really enjoyed it! The main character Giuliani and her best friend Morgan meet every year for their birthday at a resort in Turks and Caicos. They enjoy the sunny vacation while it is cold and snowy in their hometowns. This is their 10th year doing it and they are excited! Giuliani hears that Morgan is delayed by snow and will be there by herself for the first few days. On the flight they hit turbulence and she ends up in a creepy old guy’s lap, but the cute guy behind her catches her eye and they share some fun banter. Then they figure out they are both headed to the same resort. Landon is going to the island to take care of business after his uncle passed away. He was not expecting to meet a beautiful woman that he wants to spend so much time with. Giuliani and Morgan had a pact, no men, on their trip but as Morgan is engaged and they are now more mature, Morgan pushes her to see Landon and find out where it could lead. Will it be just a vacation hookup? It says another book is coming this year and I will definitely pick it up!

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” by Lois June Wickstrom is an entertaining and engaging children’s book that takes readers on a thrilling adventure involving stolen coins, a legendary Loch Ness monster, and a rock concert at a historic castle. The story follows Craig, who unwittingly steals coins from a Viking treasure chest at the bottom of Loch Ness.

What makes this story particularly interesting is the unique twist that the stolen coins are somehow blessed or cursed, leading Craig to Nessie’s lair. The author manages to create an atmosphere of mystery and suspense with this plot point, keeping readers engaged from the very beginning.

The book also incorporates elements of Scottish culture, such as the setting of Urquhart Castle and the rock concert featuring the characters’ favorite singer. This adds depth and authenticity to the story, making it more relatable and enjoyable for young readers. Even as an adult, I learned things, such as the Loch was formed because it is on a fault line.

Overall, “Nessie and the Viking Gold” is a well-written and imaginative children’s book that successfully combines elements of adventure, mystery, and Scottish culture. The characters are likable and relatable, and the plot is engaging and fast-paced. Young readers will surely enjoy the thrilling escapades of Craig and Linda as they navigate their way through this exciting tale.

When I picked up this book to start reading, I hadn’t read the description or the reviews at all. I saw the name of the author and that was enough. I was completely surprised by the BDSM element to the story but I think the author portrayed it really well. It entirely changed what I was expecting from the characters and it was great to just be taken along for the ride.
Cutter was definitely my favourite character. I connected with him instantly and I loved the growth we saw throughout the book. For me, the author has created one of those characters that carries the story with ease. I really enjoyed reading this story.

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

This is the first book in the series called Wolf. It is going to be a great series I can tell already. Each book will focus on a different couple and this couple is Princess Amelia of Avonlee and Prince Dane a wolf shifter. They are all in an academy where people from the Seven Kingdom have all joined together. Once enemies of each other are they really going to live peacefully now or is something sinister happening underneath the surface.

Amelia and Dane have been promised to each other as a way to keep the alliance between the wolfshifters and the Avonlee people secure. However Amelia has her sights set else where and is planning on changing Prince Danes mind about the whole arranged marriage.
Dane however has no intention of ending the agreement when as soon as he meets her he knows she is his fated mate. Now he is more determined than ever to show her that despite their arrangement they are actually fated mates. Amelia however is very stubborn and determined to push Dane away at every turn.
Will Amelia realised the truth or will her constant refusal lead to a breakdown between Amelia’s family and Dane’s pack?

The author does an incredible job of weaving this story full of adventure and magic. There are so many creative characters from wolf’s to dragons and witches to Fae. Each character is unique and I can’t wait to see and learn more about them as the series progresses.

Vacation Flirtation…or More? Is a fun and sexy Rom Com and the first book in the Winter Getaway romance series even though it is a standalone book. It is a nice and easy read that will lighten your day as you dip our toes in the sand and surf in Turks and Caicos.

Romantic getaway – check

Surf – check
Alcohol – check
Sexy man – check

Opposites attract in this tale where the chemistry is hot, steamy and sexy and jumps off the page. I loved the playful & sometimes sassy banter between the characters that had me laughing out loud. You will need a drink or two to cool down.

It has been nice to see the growth of Stacey as a writer from her first book to this book.

Giuliana Giovanni’s can’t keep her eyes off one hella hot mystery man who sets her pulse pumping.

Landon Parker is in the Caribbean for one thing and one thing only that is until he see one sexy woman who makes his brain go to mush. But will his secrets come between them?

Vacation Flirtation is an engaging book that will have you believing in love and wanting to float away on your own holiday.

Murder off Route 82 Audio Book (Eve Sawyer Mystery) by Jane Suen – Review by Cindy Mayberry

/0 Comments/in , /by

I did not see this coming. Eve received a call from a friend’s mother. The woman was panic stricken as her daughter always called or came home from college. When she did not show up, Eve went into detective mode and followed the clues to find her friend. That is all you get as I give no spoilers. This is a cozy mystery and was enjoyable to listen to. The storyline was easy to follow, but the end was shocking for me. I enjoy reading books from this author. She sets the scene and takes her readers on quite the journey. I love a story that reads like this. The characters give you that feeling that you have met them and they are friends. The story is fast paced as well as heart pounding. I look forward to seeing where this series goes.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alexa has had some trouble in her past, walking away was the hardest thing she had to do. When now she has got her life back together a good education and is a Lawyer her moving to Montana was the best thing she could have done, until she meets Miles the towns ladies man she is drawn to him but does not understand why. So when he drops a bombshell on her, the first instinct is to run as far away from him as possible she has already a toxic relationship and survived she does not want to go down that path again.

Miles is a careful, self proclaimed ladies man but when Alexa comes into town he believes there is a chemistry and draw to her like he has never felt before. With his heritage he has always been seeking his fated he believes he has found it in Alexa, but when he shifts after one night together Alexa runs and does not look back, can he find her and convince her they are meant to be together in the end.

This is not the first book I have read by this author and this will definitely not the last. I’m not a big shifter genre reader but with this book it had me gripped from the beginning. Understanding the back story regarding Alexa was helpful and what she went through was heart-breaking but did put into prospective her life and reasons for certain reasons.

Miles as a character was brilliant, well rounded and great alpha male role and his characters care and charm made him a great character to get behind to get the girl. As I said although Shifter books aren’t my normal go to the story was a full bodied story with the Shifter element to Miles as a added bonus.

With the twists and turns in this story it will have you reading well into the night and hope you read the rest in this wonderful authors back catalogue you will not be disappointed.

Miller Brooks has long been seen as the screw up youngest brother of his family, up to and including the day that he meets Maisy when she jumps in his car in a wedding dress and tells him to drive as he is getting ready to leave the court house after yet another court date. Maisy has just backed out of a marriage she never wanted for the right reasons, and neither did the man she was set to marry. Maisy wanted to marry to gain custody of her younger brother Bear, while her fiancée wanted to marry to gain access to his own trust fund. When Miller helps Maisy to escape and tries to help her save Bear from their mother who doesn’t really seem to want to parent so much as to bring Maisy down by any means necessary, the pair can’t possibly foresee what is to come. This book is book 4 in the Love on Tap series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Once you get pulled into Ashville and the Blue Bigfoot bar and the family that runs it, you won’t want to leave them…or their pet skunk. I know I will definitely be waiting on pins and needles for the next book in this series…and anything else this writer chooses to put out.

A New Day For Cray (The Adventures of Cray on the Bay)A New Day For Cray by G. Pa Rhymes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cray is a crab living on the beach and under the water. He has many friends, whom he likes to play with but whom he also likes to pinch with his pinchers. His friends do not appreciate his way of playing, and wish that he would stop. Some have expressed their dislike of his pinching, while others try to get away from him before he can pinch them. That all changes one day, when Cray loses his pincher, and his friends come together to help him and support him. This is a great book for teaching young kids about not hurting others and how it affects those who they are harming. The illustrations are beautiful and make me wish I were at the beach, pinching crabs or not!
