5 stars!

Such a fun read. I really enjoyed this story and the period that was portrayed. The characters were all really nicely written and the storyline flowed nicely, I was never bored and couldn’t stop reading. I always feel sad for characters that have arranged marriages, some cases it works out nicely, but in Bridget’s case it did not. I was devastated for her when her ship was seized by pirates and they killed off the entire crew except her, and then she gets rescued by the wonderful Valan. You can tell throughout the story that there is real chemistry between Valan and Bridget. Bridget is so sweet to fall in love with Valan only to leave him to fulfill her promise to her clan to marry the laird Rodrick. I liked the the evil that was placed in this story in the form of the greedy Rodrick. Fighting through some trials together, find out if Bridget and Valan can truly be together. The ending was sweet, steamy, and surprising. This is my first book by this author and after reading this one, I can’t wait to see what else Mrs. Siddoway has to offer.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this exciting historical romance, it had an exciting storyline with swashbuckling pirates and plenty of romance. As the newest pirate captain of Clan MacNeil, Valan sets out to prove his worth but rather than finding treasure he finds a women in need of rescuing. Lady Bridget MacKay has unhappily set sail in order to fulfil her promise of marriage when her ship is attacked by pirates. Neither Valan or Bridget can deny the instant attraction they feel for each other or ignore the chemistry. Valan must reconsider his vow of bachelorhood and Bridget must decide whether to carry on with her marriage or continue her adventures with a pirate. I loved all the diverse characters in the story from Valan and Bridget to the pirate crew. I liked how the chemistry between Valan and Bridget sizzled off the page. I found that the plot was action packed and I was hooked from page one. Due to the authors detailed descriptions I really felt immersed in the story and ‘life at sea’ was really bought to life.

Rescued by Valan is the second book in The Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders series by Jennifer Siddoway. This has quite a lot going for it- from pirates, historical romance, action, adventure, danger, drama- and did I mention pirates?
This should have grabbed me right from the get-go, having all the ingredients that I love to find in a story. This could have been a red hot five star read for me- but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations.
I really did try to connect to/with the story and characters, but something was missing for me. I’m not sure exactly what- but there was something a little ‘off’ with the story- especially her capture, what transpired prior to her being rescued, and then her reaction afterwards. It just didn’t ring true….
The idea of the series does intrigue me, so I will go back and read the first book and explore that story. As well as reading this book again in a month or so, just to see if I still feel the same way, or if I was just having an ‘off’ reading day with this book.

Thank you, Jennifer Siddoway!

I love a good historical adventure/romance. And I LOVE when there is an accent involved. I can always hear the lovely brogue in my head but cannot replicate it on my own. Regardless I thought this was an exciting, extremely well written adventure that held my attention from the very first page. Exciting, passionate, and action packed, this book had my attention immediately. I loved this book and cannot wait to read more in this universe.

This is my first historical pirate romance story. I would have to say that this story grabbed me from the first page until the last. The story’s foundation is solid which makes it believable. The characters are complex and fully developed. I love the idea that a pirate learns to love more than the sea air and the treasure they find/loot/steal. Valen is a new captain of a pirate ship. He thought that he would never have romance as his life is on the seas. That all halted when he found Lady Bridget. He has fallen for her but there is one problem, she is betrothed to another man. There are some tough decisions that Lady Bridget needs to make and Valen needs to live with the decisions that she makes. Will the high seas call to Lady Bridget? Can Valen be a new captain and respect the decisions that are made? Will he fight for the woman he falls for? I highly recommend reading this story to find out these answers and so much more.

This is my first book by Jennifer Siddoway I was highly interested in it because of pirates which turns out to be a wonderful story.

Valan never thought he find love heck he didn’t plan it just to be part of the pirate crew.

This is fresh concept and reads really well.

Rescued by Valan (The Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders #2) by Jennifer Siddoway
Was a great 5 star read. This was a great historical romance, I was pulled right in by the authors writing.

Lady Bridget has an arranged marriage and is on her way to go through with the wedding, when her ship is overtaken by pirates. When she meets Valan there are instant sparks. Will the hot pirate interfere with her plans?

Valan is a new captain of the MacNeil clan, so getting a big treasure would be great. What he didn’t expect to find was a woman that he finds himself very attracted to.

We get so much in this great read, action, danger, romance, and so much more. I really liked both characters very much. They were perfect for each other. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, you feel like you are right there with the characters. This can be read as a standalone. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great pirate romance this is the book for you, 1-click and get started today.

Rescued by Valan by Jennifer SIddoway is the second book in the Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders series. This is a well written and exciting book with just the right amount of romance to it. This book can be read as a standalone.
Overall I have to say I definitely enjoyed this book. I liked the clear difference in the main characters: the sweet innocence of Bridget and the experience and rawness of Valan. Even though on paper they wouldn’t work at all the author did a good job of them complimenting each other.
The story I found to be engaging and knew how to keep me interested. It definitely felt exciting to read although there were a few times where it felt like it could have done with just a bit more depth. However if you want something that you can lose yourself in for a few hours and have a great time then you should read this book.

I loved reading the book Rescued by Valan (The Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders) by Jennifer Siddoway. It is a story that had me hooked from the very beginning. There is action, danger, and romance included. I loved the characters of Valan and Lady Bridget MacKay. Valan is the newest pirate captain for Clan MacNeil. While he is young, he also has been well trained. He is also handsome and charming. When he rescues Lady Bridget, he never expected to fall for her. Lady Bridget is a young woman whose marriage has been arranged. She never guessed that she would be rescued by Valan from those who would do her harm. She also never expected to fall for Valan. What does the future hold for Valan and Landy Bridget? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is exciting to read. I grew to care about Valan and Lady Bridget with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The author does a wonderful job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. I also enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that are introduced in the book. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

They bring action and romance to a new level. I had no problems connecting with the characters. The story is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. This is a story about Valen who is a new captain of a ship. He never thought about finding romance on the sea until he meets Lady Bridget. She is promised to another but she can’t help having feelings for Valen. What will fate have in store for these two? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these two. They made such great characters and really made the story for me. They have great chemistry together and I found myself hoping they would find a way to be together. You don’t want to miss reading what happens to these two.

Valan thought it was impossible to find love on the open sea. He was wrong.

The newest pirate captain of Clan MacNeil has something to prove. When he goes in search of treasure, Valan may have bitten off more than he prepared for. When they stumble upon a woman in need, his fate seems fit to change. Something about the sharp-tongued lass that manages to capture his attention and makes him reconsider his vow of bachelorhood once and for all.

Lady Bridget MacKay is young, beautiful, and in desperate need of help. When her ships traveled south to fulfil her promise of marriage, they were set upon by pirates. It isn’t until Valan and his crew rescue her that she manages to escape. Will Bridget go forward with her upcoming marriage, or leave it all behind to seek adventure with handsome pirate who loves her?

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story (The Daughters of Night Chronicles) by Matilda Reyes & Jennifer Siddoway – Review by Gail Guerrero

Four Stars

I love a good story about fae. You have so many different directions you could go in. I felt the possibilities that could come from a story like this. The authors had a great structure for this story. Though it missed the mark on some parts. The characters were good but you had so much information repeated and changed that it was a little hard to follow. I wasn’t sure if the characters names where changing or if there were new ones being introduced. It was a good story and you could see the direction the authors were wanting to go it just didn’t quite get there. Cassandra is a great character and that’s why I did four stars. She is really lovable. It’s like she is an angel. Through the whole story I felt her and all she was. So kind, intelligent and beautiful. I think I’m going to stick with this series. I feel like it’s only going to get better.

4-Stars

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story was a sweet, romantic, and adventurous read. Cassandra recently moved home to begin working as a teacher when she runs into her old flame Michael. Things are going well but she is being hunted during her other task she is bound to. She is to travel to peoples dreams every night to collect a special dust. While there her fellow dream weavers are disappearing. Given an ultimatum by her father, can she fight against the odds to keep her true love and stop who ever is causing the disappearances?

This book was a quick and easy read. It was organized well and had an easy flow. I loved the characters and their different abilities and even those that didn’t have them. I thought Michael’s ability was awesome and I would love to be able to have it. I also loved how the authors ended this novel. I was not expecting that. Great read!

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story is a romantic fantasy story in The Daughters of Night Chronicles by Matilda Reyes and Jennifer Siddoway. Cassandra is a new 3rd grade teacher by day and a Dream Weaver by night. Just as Cassandra is starting to figure out her new day to day life as a teacher, her Dream Weaver duty of collecting the dust of dreamers starts to get dangerous. There are other Dream Weavers that are disappearing which brings much alarm to those around Cassandra, including her father, the Lord of Night. Cassandra must do everything in her power to remain safe, for herself, her students, her family, and her latest love interest. Cassandra feels torn as everyone is telling her not to return to the Realm of Dreams because she is in danger, but she also knows the importance of maintaining the illusion between the two worlds.

I will say it was refreshing to read a story where the main character dealt with anxiety. As someone who also suffers from anxiety, it was almost as if I was Cassandra as the authors described her panic attacks. The authors were very thorough and detailed which really helped paint the picture of the fantasy side of this story, such as the Realm of Dreams. I do feel that there could have been a bit more detail given when dealing with the main conflict. There was so much build up to it and it seemed to be over in a single chapter. Other than that I thought it was a very well put together story.

Chasing Starlight:Cassandra’s Story (The Daughters of Night Chronicles) by Jennifer Siddoway and Matilda Reyes is a pleasantly slow build. A very sweet and warm love story that rocks along at an unhurried pace. The characters are slowly developed as you go along in an unhurried pace, giving you plenty of time to really know this couple. Then like a stream that starts at a trickle and then becomes a raging river, before you know it you cannot put the book down. Cassandra and Michael are only focused on their relationship and finding a way back. The deluge that engulfs them will hold you in the book until the end. Very good read, I’m ready for more.

“The boogie man is real, and Cassandra Williams would know—she’s seen him”
Cassandra Williams is a elementary school teacher in Southern California, she is a likeable character and very relatable with her relationships with her family, a potential love interest in Henry and her concerns at starting her new job. All very normal until we then learn that as well as her day job as a teacher Cassandra also moonlights at night as a ‘Dream Weaver’, oh and her father is the ‘Lord of Night’.
This is the first book in the fantasy series, ‘Daughters of Night Chronicles’, by Siddoway and Reyes. I am new to these two authors, and I really enjoyed this fantasy read, with mystery, adventure and a touch of romance thrown in. It is well written, and the authors set the scene with their descriptions, bringing their fantasy world, the ‘Realm of Dreams’ alive. As a Dream Weaver, Cassandra must “collect the dust of dreamers to maintain the illusion between our worlds”.
The storyline had me hooked form page one and follows Cassandra as she learns that Dream Weavers are disappearing and that she maybe next, for in the shadows lurks a demon who wants to prevent Cassandra from leaving the Real of Dreams. Therefore Cassandra must find a way of defeating the ‘Shadow Demon’ and return to her daytime life as a elementary school teacher.
This was a lovely fantasy read, and it was so engaging that it kept me turning the pages well into the night as I was cheering Cassandra on. I look forward to the rest of the series.

The boogie man is real, after all, Cassandra Williams has seen him.

Cassandra is thrilled to start her new career as an elementary school teacher, when she moves back to Southern California, as well as moonlighting as a dream Weaver.

Her father, the lord of the night, demands she collects the dust of dreamers to maintain the illusion between our worlds, but things turn complicated when a creature lurking in the shadows try to keep her from leaving.

Other Dream Weavers are now starting to disappear, and the palm of dreams are not what they used to be, they are not safe. Yet, Cassandra cannot ignore her call of magic, but can she find a way to defeat this demon……

This is the first in the series of The Daughters of Night Chronicles and Cassandra is a brilliant character to get to know, very caring, loving and intelligent. I feel you got to know her quite while throughout the book, bringing in the anxiety was commendable and a great way to show this in the story.

This book is brilliant, a great page turner, magical, suspenseful and a wonderful fantasy read. It has brilliant characters, as well a great story line trying to find out if the demon is going to be caught! Would highly recommend and I cannot wait for the next one in the series.

I was very excited to read this book. I loved the cover and the synopsis sounded intriguing. I was thrilled that I found a book with an original storyline. Cassandra is a dream weaver. She enters your dreams to help you then collects dream dust to send to the Fae Realm. How cool is that! She’s also the daughter of the Fae king, so far so good.

I started reading and found out that Cass has crippling anxiety, which is fine. Unfortunately this overtook the storyline. It became repetitive until it was tiresome. Almost every page was about her trying to breathe through an anxiety attack. I felt like the actual story about the creature after the dream weavers took a back seat. It was thrown in as a reminder between her attacks and her relationship with Michael.

Certain things didn’t make sense. She’s finished school, has a degree and is now working as a teacher. Therefore that would make her mid to late twenties yet when Michael kisses her gently, she runs away like a ten year old. The Fae are supposed to be a strong race yet Cass was confused and unsure of herself throughout the entire book. When the confrontation happened between the creature and Cass, it was anticlimactic. This creature was supposed to be strong and killing dream weavers yet Cass, who can barely function through a day without a panic attack, defeated him so quickly. It didn’t make sense.

This series has potential to be great. The story is original and there are seven sisters. Each one can have her own story. It can be truly amazing.

Cassandra is readying herself to start her new job as a teacher, she suffers from Generalised Anxiety Disorder so things are difficult for her at the best of times but she luckily has her twin Halle to help bring her out of her anxiety attacks. Cassandra is also a daughter of the king of the fae and with that she has a special job that keeps the fae world secret, she’s a dream weaver, she collects the dream dust of people she helps but there’s danger out there for dream weavers like her from a shadow demon who wants the dream dust for itself.
This book was written by new to me authors so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was very happy I got to read this story, I felt the characters were well thought out and each had their place in a well written story, I am eagerly waiting for book 2.

I absolutely loved reading Chasing Starlight by Jennifer Siddoway and Matilda Reyes! The book took only a couple of chapters before it drew me in, and after that I was hooked! I’ve read several fae books before, but none like this. This one was very unique in its content and fae abilities. I loved the romance and slight suspense I felt. I was very anxious to see what happened with the Shadow Demon and was not disappointed! Also, in non-spoiler fashion, I absolutely loved the lion wanting to be called King of the Murder Kitties! I died laughing. I enjoyed this book so much and I highly recommend it!

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story (The Daughters of Night Chronicles) by Matilda Reyes & Jennifer Siddoway is a short fantasy romance and an interesting tale to add to the series. It does take time for the story to get going though. It seems that being Fae is not everything it is cracked up to be when you have to live the life. Whilst I did like the story the premise was not quite there and there were somethings that detracted from me getting lost in the words and it becoming a great story. There were lots of mistakes with editing & words and that made me have to stop and read through that part again, so there was not that easy flow. There was also a bit of repetition in parts that didn’t need to be told again as it did not add anything more to the story. I liked the characters, but they did not draw me in they seemed to be a little lacking. Having said that if you can overlook these things, I am sure you will like the story. I look forward to seeing what the ladies have next.

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story is my first book by Matilda Reyes and Jennifer Siddoway. I will be reading more by these authors. I found myself lost within the pages of this book. Reyes and Siddoway attention to detail allows the reader to see what is happening within the pages of the book. This is a fantasy book and the characters are complex and adventurous. The story’s main character is Cassandra who is a strong female. She is getting her life in a routine whereas she is a teacher by day and a dream weaver by night. There is one small problem there is someone is hunting dream weavers. Will Cassandra be taken like so many others? You will have to read this short book. It is a fast read that you would want to finish in one sitting.

Wow, what a brilliant introduction to these two authors, they have created and brilliant fantasy read that takes you along on a very creative imaginative story that hooks you from the beginning. I was captivated by the details and the mentally visual aspect of this read, I could picture everything in my head as I read along. I absolutely loved the storyline of this read it’s not very often you read one revolving around dreams but also one that has suspense and mystery. This read has some brilliant characters that i loved reading about and following along their journey. For this being a read on the shorter side, it was jammed packed with everything you could need from this genre of book and flowed effortlessly. I can’t wait to see what else these authors bring us and can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Chasing Starlight. Cassandra’s Story. I really enjoyed reading this book. At the start of this story Cassandra (Cass) seems to be a shy and anxious young women, trying to deal with what life has thrown at her, she’s helped largely by her sister Halle and Cass starts to develop in confidence. Henry is a sweet young boy with a few troubles of his own and the relationship between him and Cass is heartwarming. I really hope there will be another book featuring Cass and Henry as I long to know what happens next.

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story (The Daughters of Night Chronicles) by Matilda Reyes & Jennifer Siddoway – Review by Liz Vrchota

Chasing StarlightChasing Starlight by Jennifer Siddoway
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story, and a what appears to be the first novel of the Daughters of Night Chronicles promises to be a fantastical story with fae, drama, and a laced positive message. The cover reels you in from the get go and is absolutely gorgeous. Now, I will be the first to admit that I am picky when it comes to the fantasy novels that I will read. Normally this is a topic or genre that can be a real hit or miss for me depending on how the book is written and the premise or underlying story lines. I sincerely wanted to absolutely love this book, but I just struggled with it so much. I hate giving low rated reviews but I this book needs more work before it should be properly read and reviewed. Again, this book is fabulous in the get go and has all the pieces that would make for a wonderful read but it has several areas that need work in order for that to be the actual case. I spotted lots of grammar errors and spelling errors but the real issue for me was the bouncing and ever changing fact contradiction. We had characters that names completely changed, obvious repetitive areas of information that just looked like it was missed in the editing process, and over all the story lacked a general polish. I felt as if I was reading a rough first maybe second draft. Again this book has all the potential to be great it just needs a bit of fine tuning. I would be more than happy to read and review again if that is ever the situation that this book finds itself. For now I will leave a three star review for the bones that have a good general direction, the fabulous cover, and the mere ability to make me read this book in whole when I was frustrated several times throughout.
