Outcast (Her Royal Harem: Ember) by Catherine Banks – Review by Jenni Brown

Outcast (Her Royal Harem: Ember Book 1)Outcast by Catherine Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new to me author that I will definitely be following for more work. The story starts off a little slow, but it’s well worth it, trust me. Ember is a sweetie that didn’t expect that her peaceful world in the 100 acer woods would be turned so completely upside down.

She’s on a journey of self discovery, wrapped in love and mystery and danger and I can’t wait to see how it is all going to end. Obviously it is a RH romance so she won’t have to choose but Caleb is definitely my favorite. I can’t wait to see their relationship grow and can not wait to learn more about this interesting new world.

A Fun way to learn about the responsibility of pet ownership. Lora and CJ are great role models for kids who want the responsibility of getting a pet. This book is an excellent resource for kids to read before actually getting their pet.

It takes you through everything you need to know and what puppies/dogs will need to have a healthy and fulfilling life with your family. The best part is that while it is so informative it is also fun for kids to read.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets Series) by K. Rose – Review by Jen Brown

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vegan Vampire hooked me and the hot Broccoli twins kept me hooked. This book is filled with characters I haven’t seen anywhere else and it was a wild ride. It is a Reverse Harem so there’s more unique creatures that all want a piece of Basil and I was here for it.

I wish there was more development of the Main character and it seemed like the book was supposed to be longer. (maybe I just wish it was lol) The spice was a pretty good 3.5. Overall I will be reading more from this author as well as the rest of this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My kids loved this book and made me read it to them several times. they love Cray and Hay and their woodland adventures.

As a parent I really like how the characters show kids it’s okay to be scared and how to overcome it and be brave. I think this would also be a great resource for teachers as well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My family loves the Adventures of Cray but this one is the best one yet. They loved all the returning characters, as well as meeting the new seal, Grey. The kids were excited to see what antics the beach ball would get into and we’re thrilled to see the throwback to A New Day for Cray.

As a parent I enjoyed this book because it teaches kids the importance of telling the truth and self accountability.

Magic Wanda (Grandma’s Closet) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jenni Brown

Magic Wanda (Grandma's Closet Book 3)Magic Wanda by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

My kids liked the story and were interested in what the Magic Wanda’s could do. They asked a lot of questions about the magic Wanda’s and wanted more adventures!

Overall it was a cute story for an adult to read to a child. The constant change in font style and size may make it hard for kids to read on their own.

Vacation Flirtation...or More? (Winter Getaway Romance Book 1)Vacation Flirtation…or More? by Stacey Komosinski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vacation flirtation… or more is a cute slow burn rom – com. The chemistry between the two characters is wonderfully written and builds throughout the story. I never thought kisses could be so steamy!

This is the first book in a new series and I am looking forward to reading the next chapter of this couples story.

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new to me author and she did not disappoint! Let me tell you that I devoured this book. It was just the right amount of spice combined with fantastic characters and page turning action.

When I first picked up this book I didn’t realize it was so far I to a series of other books but I still enjoyed it! While it certainly can be read as a stand alone I think that if I started from book one I would have enjoyed it much more. I can not wait to start this series from the beginning.

Curse of Forbidden IslandCurse of Forbidden Island by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Short and Steamy! I blew through this book so fast. It’s a quick read that starts off a little slow but when it picks up it flies by. This story left me wishing there was more! It was equally steamy and interesting!

While I do wish that there was more character development of the other island owners I understand that it’s a short story. However I will be reading more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second of Cray’s adventures that I have read to my kids and they love it. We were so glad to see Cray using his pinching claw for good in this story!

This story teaches a lesson to children about being environmentally conscious in an easy and fun way. I also liked the last page with tips to do so. We look forward to more adventures with Cray.

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns – Wolf (Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns Series) by R. C. Reigh – Review by Jen Brown

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

Seven Kingdoms of magic and intrigue. 4.5 Stars!

I haven’t been this excited about a YA series since Percy Jackson. Wolf, the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns, is an enemies to lovers tale. Duty bound Amelia of Avonlee is betrothed to Dane of Carpathia with the hope that their union will provide her smaller kingdom with protection. To make things even more complicated, she must now attend a school with children from all seven kingdoms, including Dane.

Bastion Academy is the realms last ditch effort to build bridges between kingdoms but some of the nobles just want to watch the world burn and I am so here for it!

R. C. Reigh has renewed my love of YA Fantasy, and I cannot wait for the next book!

A New Day for Cray (The Adventures of Cray Series) by G Pa Rhymes – Review by Jennilee Brown

A New Day For Cray (The Adventures of Cray on the Bay)A New Day For Cray by G. Pa Rhymes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was age appropriate for my three littles and they loved it. The were engaged for the entire story which is rare for them. As a parent I liked the message it had about friendship and helped me to talk to them about some social cues they can look for when they play with their friends. Overall, I will be adding more of Cray and his adventures to our home library.
