Pet Me (The Toye Shoppe Book 1) by Angelique Jurd – Review by Heather Bass

Pet Me (The Toye Shoppe #1)Pet Me by Angelique Jurd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I have not read a male and male book in a long time but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of The Toye Shoppe series. Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive book.

Bailey Roberts is very shy when it comes to what he likes in men. He sees a new way to play online and he needs to try it. Bailey goes into a toy shop to buy what he needs but he sees someone instead. He is attracted to the store owner Sam. Bailey thinks he is so out of Sam’s league because he is all new to this type of world. He is shocked when Sam starts to show interest in him. Will they be able to see past the age difference or will it be too much?

Sex on Fire (Naughty Neighbor Book 1) by Ashley Bostock – Review by Rachel Moss

Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read (Naughty Neighbor Book 1)Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sex On Fire by Ashley Bostock was a very quick read. I honestly expected it to be a little more steamy, but for how short it was I was very impressed with the story. Less is more indeed. It was very quick and to the point, and interesting. It was also interesting to have a female lead interested and in the business of video games as that is usually a male dominated area. So I really enjoyed that small aspect. If you’re looking for a quick happy ever after story this is the book for you. I can’t want to read the next installment in this series.

Snowflakes and Holly (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson – Review by Betsy Melano

Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance (A Hartwood Holiday Romance)Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance by Jae Dawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Snowflakes and Holly by Jae Dawson is a wonderful story. Holly has deep rooted trauma stemming from her father’s untimely death when he was caught in an avalanche. Blake is a former Olympian who lost one of his legs due to cancer. They meet on the ski slope when Blake crashes into Holly in an attempt to save a child who veered into his path when he was snowboarding. Their first meeting wasn’t the best and wouldn’t you know, they very quickly find out they will be working together. These two had a somewhat bumpy start but find ways to crack each other’s walls. I loved this book as much as the other books in the Hartwood Falls series.

AWAKENING THE GODS (RISE OF THE CELTIC GODS) by KRISTIN GLEESON – Review by Christine Taysom 07/18/2021

Awakening the Gods (Rise of the Celtic Gods #1)Awakening the Gods by Kristin Gleeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this novel is by far one of the best books I have ever read, and I feel like I have a consistent history of finding, picking and reading novels that turn out to be just fantastic reads. I sat down and finished this book in one session and let me tell you I could not put this book down! I have had a long standing interest in the myths and legends of Celtic, Gaelic and Irish origin. My maiden name is McCarty and my ancestors immigrated from Galway, Ireland leaving the surname McCarthy in Galway and switching to McCarty upon arrival to the United States. I got such a kick out of reading this book that was inspired by legends and myths of gods and goddesses that have always interested me, set in the parts of Ireland my family originated from. Then to top it all off Kristin wove this beautiful tale that just kept me intrigued and in love with the characters she created. Saorise is an amazing protagonist and I loved learning about this urban world seeped in myths and legends through her eyes and mind. I am eagerly looking forward to November to read the next book in this series because I can’t wait to see how this story and the characters continue to develop and unfold. In the meantime you will definitely catch me rereading this book! Awakening the Gods (Rise of the Celtic Gods #1) isn’t a book you can only read once for satisfaction, it necessitates the re-reading of it in order to surround oneself with the magic for a little while longer.

Pet Me (The Toye Shoppe #1)Pet Me by Angelique Jurd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Pet Me: The Toye Shoppe 1 by Angelique Jurd is a sweet MM romance story. Unfortunately, there are a few problems that often stopped the easy flow of the narrative. But having said this it was still a fun and cute read. Our MC is a vulnerable and shy young man who is learning to explore who he is and what he likes. His vulnerability makes him so endearing to any reader because I am sure we all want to mother him. There is angst and anxiety and motions that tug at your heart.

Courage of Us (Code of Honor Book 1) by Brooke May – Review by Alexandria Richard

Courage of UsCourage of Us by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A heartfelt second chance, military guy romance

This is not a fun and light romance read, which is why I enjoyed this book so much. The two MC’s are real with problems and hardships to overcome outside of their potential romance. But that’s not to discount the push and pull to see if they will give their love another chance.

Patience is a FMC that I feel so many can relate to, feeling low in life and going through the process of a divorce. Duke is an American soldier returning home after being medically discharged and diagnosed with PTSD. These two were best friends throughout their childhood, coming to the realization that they both liked one another after graduation, but Duke enlisted with the Marines and disappeared from Patience’s life for the next 8 years.

I felt that the characters and the circumstances were very realistic, though I wanted to smack Duke upside the head for the way he disappeared and stayed gone for so long. Patience has had a lot to deal with in life, but she’s still kicking and enjoying running the bakery in her family’s local grocery store.

I absolutely loved the side characters, both Duke’s and Patience’s moms and P’s aunt, and their meddling ways.

Trigger warning for mental and physical abuse, cheating, PTSD, and loss of an animal, and loss of a child.

I enjoyed this MM romance story. This is a newer author for me and I look forward to seeing what is next for her in the future. This is a well written story about two guys who are looking for something and they didn’t expect to find it in each other. Bailey and Sam made such great characters and their age difference just goes to show that age doesn’t matter and you never know what fate might have in store for you. They are connectable and made the story come to life. This is an engaging, fast paced story that kept me turning pages to the end. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and it was entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend it.

Sex on Fire (Naughty Neighbor Book 1) by Ashley Bostock is a sexy 1st installment to the Naughty Neighbor series and can easily be read in one sitting, I know I did. Have you ever wondered what happens when two neighbors are attracted to each other? Well I won’t ruin it for you you’ll have to read all of the fun and sexy details for yourself. Ms. Bostock gives us fun and sexy characters, with an equally as fun and sexy story and this series is shaping up to be one of my favorite from Ms. Bostock. While this installment ended nicely I personally can’t wait to see what Ms. Bostock gives us next.

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) is the first installment to this Sci/Fi/ fantasy story. Mr. Talisman gives us a complex and detailed story with lots of characters to keep track of. This story has everything that a reader could ask for including action, hidden agendas, politics, adventure, and danger. There’s so much in this story that you find yourself flipping the pages eagerly to find out what happens next. Since this is the first installment to this series there are a lot of suspenseful moments, some of which get tied up in pretty bows and others that are left unsolved, leaving his readers to anticipate book two. But if your looking for an exciting Sci/Fi/fantasy book to read this weekend then I highly recommend Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman.

Alterations (Alterations Trilogy Book 1) by Jane Suen – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Alterations (Alterations #1)Alterations by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a good book with an interesting premise. A magic little implant to solve your big problem, what could go wrong? A topical story premise in this age of science, where editing DNA is possible and carries with it a big debate of ethicality. Dr. Kite is as you would expect, smart but a little fanatical and rushing progress in spite of problems (and let’s not forget his questionable title of “Dr.”). The women are desperate for a change. A heady combination. The story moved along well and I liked seeing the perspective from not only the doctor’s eyes, but the patients as well. However, at times it felt like an omniscient narrator barged in to make observations that were not in line with the character’s voice. It would have been even better if the characters just spoke for themselves, not being overridden with interjections about them. Something about that felt a bit inauthentic to me. However, besides that, I thought the book was well-written and worth a read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Age gap, MM, Pony Play romance, 4.5 rounded up

This book was my first experience with Pony Play and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed reading about Bailey, an awkward and shy 25 year old who doesn’t have much in life, but has a desire to be a unicorn. I enjoyed reading about him coming into himself and learning who he is as a person, and in his relationship with Sam. Sam is an older gentleman, new store owner of the previously titled Pleasure Palace, and has taken notice of the awkward, clumsy, and shy Bailey, coming into the sex shop. I enjoyed that their relationship grew organically and wasn’t rushed. I liked that Sam was open minded in his “old age,” willing to research Pony Play for Bailey and to try something new.

I also really liked the supporting cast and their banter and wittiness. Even though not everyone was on board with Sam and Bailey’s relationship I enjoyed the extra tension that brought to the story.

This book seems to set up future stories with the others as the primary focus and I can’t wait to read them.

Despite this book being on the shorter side it didn’t leave me feeling like I missed something.

Note, I especially loved the “Road to el Dorado” reference :-p

This book is very cute, and there were a lot of layers with it. Nash and Betsy Felt something the moment they met. Nash is very much the ideal book boyfriend. He is sweet, handsome, protective, and loyal. The moment he laid eyes on Betsy all those instincts came out , and a silent courtship began. Betsy was a bit harder to gage. She felt the attraction but she was very introverted and to herself. She had the feelings for him, but it took a lot more warming up for her. When her sister Leanne arrives Betsy Is a bit more free, but on the fence with Nash. There is quite a bit of cat and mouse play between them, and when he steps in to help with Leanne’s stalker it ups the ante for everything. It’s a very romantic story and there’s lots of intrigue attached to it. This read is very much worth it.

I recently did my DNA and found that I have a large amount of Scottish and Irish so at least that explains my love of this culture. This book by Kristin Gleeson has totally fed into this passion. Saoirse and Smithy both have a deep connection to music around them. That shared link takes them on an unexpected journey. The words just pulled me into the story and the adventure. I can not wait to dive into this world again in the next book.

How do you make a book even better? Simple you create the audio version. I love being able to be able to listen to my favorite books and keep up with my tasks. This is a action packed story and kept my attention. The characters seem to jump right out of the phone and right into my vivid imagination.

I have also read this author so this is a good way to continue my enjoyment of her books. I love this series as it is a nice balance of supernatural and intrigue. I really like how the author brings her book to a new life with a great narrator. I will definitely be getting more.

Picked this book up on Kindle Unlimited and didn’t realize it was part of a series. There are a few parts that I was a little lost on, like why was there an issue between Alex and Will. Why are people calling Will to collect on his sister’s debts.
There are a few unanswered questions. However, I am enjoying the chemistry between Jessica and Will. They are trying to fight their feelings for each other yet seem to be losing the battle.
Jessica is really awesome with Will’s neice and nephew and includes them in everything. Love this story and I am truly going to have to go back and read the other books in the series to tie up the loose ends I have.

Pet Me is the first book in the The Toye Shoppe series. It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger but you can tell there are some lead ins to future books in the series… And I can’t wait!

I loved Bailey so much. He’s so relatable to me with his shy, personality and his clumsiness. Super sweet vibe to the story, which is not something I usually go for but it totally works with these characters. Even though the two main characters were fairly quick to fall in love, it didn’t feel forced or like there was insta-love with no foundation building.

I look forward to reading more in the series to discover how things play out between the other shop owners/employees and “the brats.”

Alterations by Jane Suen is the first book in the Alterations Trilogy. This is a brilliant book that focuses on the old adage of be careful what you wish for. What I loved most about this book is that fact that it isn’t too far removed from reality. You can so easily imagine this type of scenarios being exactly where society is headed. Because of that I thought it was so easy to connect with the story. Although it was a pretty quick read you become invested in the characters and everything that happens to them. As the start of a series this is a strong opening. It has definitely piqued my interest and I cannot wait to read the next books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Cold Day in Hell is the fifth book in the series Life Is Hell. Naomi Valkyrie is an author that never disappoints me as a reader. When I see her book, I pick it up because I have to know what is going on with her characters. This book is a part of a series and it would be beneficial to get to know the characters. The story took me on a wild ride. There were some twists and turns where I was blown away because I did not see that coming. The characters are fully developed and full of personality. This book is about Hadassah’s story on probation from heaven for sharing her powers with her brother Malakhi. She is doing her best to stay on “good behavior” because she wants to return to Heaven. Hadassah stays out of her brother’s affairs to return to her paradise sooner. That is until Jezebel comes into the picture. What is going to happen now with Hadassah? Will she keep her good behavior going or is she going to make some sacrifices to prevent her from going to Heaven like she wants to? I highly recommend reading this book to see what Hadassah ends up doing.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was completely outside my normal genre of reading. I have to say, though, I was quite impressed with the writing, the characters, the feelings, and the overall storyline itself. Martin Ferguson did a fantastic job creating a new world of characters for us to dive into and love. Our main character, Alena, goes through an extremely traumatizing experience as a child. We learn about it rather quickly and then jump into the story years later after the Guild has raised her. She is fierce, determined, and has an air of mystery that I am looking forward to learning more about in the upcoming books of this series. There is a piece of her history that is missing, and I’m assuming that was on purpose to keep us hooked – well, it WORKED! I am ready for the next installment and cannot wait to see more from this author.

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading . This is a suspenseful story about a serial killer who has been locked up for a long time but now new murders are popping up. Is this serial killer back? Did the detective make a mistake and the wrong person is locked up? Could there be a copycat? Andrew is the detective who worked this case. He has since retired, is now a drunk and has lost so much to this case. Does he have it in him to take this on again? He is a great, strong character that I felt for. The case took so much of him the first time and now he is facing unanswered questions that he needs answers too. He made the story fun and entertaining to read. This is a great story that I highly recommend reading. It is worth the pick up for sure.

AWAKENING THE GODS (RISE OF THE CELTIC GODS) by KRISTIN GLEESON – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Awakening the Gods (Rise of the Celtic Gods #1)Awakening the Gods by Kristin Gleeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a wonderful read, and not just only for the story line. For the music, the scenery, the characters, and so much more. I enjoyed being apart of this book and I was truly captured instantly into the depth of the plot.

I loved reading a story as such as this. I am a Harp player, so this made me think back to happy times of playing the Harp with my grandfather. We always placed Celtic or Folk music.

To me all of the aspects that add to the plot were amazing, but truly the history lessons I received of the Gods truly fascinated me. I felt I knew a lot, but the more the story continued the more I learned and the more I intrigued. I know the next books in the series will more than likely educate me more and that’s more something I truly look forward to!

Saoirse is the main character whom has a special gift to play music. She receives some bad news that truly changes her life forever. Little did she know, fate had an upper hand in the dice it rolled, and her destiny was being set for her on the path she was always meant to walk.

Her adventure truly begins when she goes to visit a family member. I instantly was lot with happy feelings in the town of which her grandmother is residing. I loved the music they spoke of and there was many tales of the music and the joy and happiness the people of the town felt. I swear my heart was dancing with the folk of this beautiful happy town. I was under its spell truly at this point and I went down the path even more as the adventure was set out before me, and when she meets Smithy the story plot truly begins to unfold in ways I did not expect or anticipate and that made me fall in love even more!

Saoirse was a wonderful character to get to know and live in her shoes. She was quite relatable and a breath of fresh air. She had a gift within her. And she could weave music like a beautiful tidal wave. As well as that, for when fighting for what was in her heart, she was a fire that could not be tamed or put out. She was someone strong at heart and would not give up to the end no matter what costs. Even if it meant not being apart of this world anymore..it was a risk she was more willing to take as she knew what was on the line.

Saoirse and Smithy were meant to meet. And not just that their paths were planned basically from the rules of destiny to intertwine. The connection between them was not sheer luck, it was something that was always meant to be. When you know something as strong as that, you just know You don’t need to define those feelings. Some things don’t need a definition and this was one of those things.

As their time together went further down the tunnel…I was more and more captivated. The danger they were to embrace together. Knowing a lot was on the line. Knowing the consequences for the land their very feet walked on…they knew this was home and it was worth everything to them at all costs.

I will be happily awaiting for the second novel in this series. I was in love with every aspect of this book. It was a delightful treat that my common words can not express in simple writing.

I loved the book that this author, Kristin Gleeson, has written for her readers. She captivated me as if I was hearing a new song for the first time and my feet just went with the music.

Truly was happy I read this book and got to meet some new characters, I m going to be looking forward to know even more as the series progresses.

Amazing book, and its very easy to get lost into the story and lose track of the time in your every day life. No regrets here. Just sheer enjoyment!

Pick up this book and read it, I’m pretty sure you will love it as much as I did 🙂

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first read by this author, who certainly knew how to use words and how to play upon getting the readers eye and mind with characteristics, the characters looks, down to the undeniable chemistry between Poppy and Turner

I loved Poppy so freaking much. She reminded me of myself, a geek and dress attire was something I would totally do. And having a neighbor as hot as Turner…she certainly had a strong will as far as she made it I must say.

The scenes where they first talked before the BBQ, seriously the chemistry was leaping off the page and I wanted them just to give in so very much. The author knew what she was doing, she wanted us as the readers to wait in anticipation because we all knew it would be worth the wait in the end! And oh heck yes it was!

As the story progressed and the events that made Poppy insecure were also what bought them together knowing they had the real deal in the end. And lets not deny the amazing fun in the bedroom. They were both so likeable characters and both put on show that was steamy and I personally think all of us who read this book were left with our tails wagging.

Loved it. It was a short and hot read with lots of steam and feeling a little bit warm in here moments. I loved this first book in the series. I can not wait truly for the next one in the series. This is a great read to go at and read before bed especially if you have some time to yourself

And it wasn’t just the sexy aspects of the book I loved the two love interests and how well they meshed together. Truly enjoyed this book for everything it was 🙂

I loved the little drawings that accompanied the words, it was like peering even more in-depth into the authors brain.

The first book in the Journeys Through series, James Talisman’s debut novel is very well written! Never before have I seen a debut author so expertly weave through multiple storylines, give such in depth descriptions of many characters, or catch my attention as quickly as he did in Journeys Through SpaceTime.

Whether you are reading about a sword masters’ son or ‘ordinary’ college student from Earth, James writes a novel that makes you feel as if you are right there along with the main characters as they travel through the MultiVerse on an epic adventure. James does a great job of explaining the MultiVerse to the reader, which is what drew me to the novel in the first place. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the recent Marvel productions, which has also played on the idea of there being a MultiVerse.

This is a beautifully written holiday romance. The author does an amazing job with the characters, making you totally invested in their life and happiness from the beginning. You learn about the  characters past which affect their present so they become more like human beings instead of a made up  character.

Holly comes across as a hard women. She has a dislike for Christmas and also for people in general. Since losing her dad she has closed herself off from the world and fear rules her life. However that changes when she meets Blake.
