I really enjoyed this book! As an Early Childhood Educator, this is a great book to teach young children about science and that one person’s trash may be another’s treasure. This was not my first book by this author, and I am looking forward to more in the future and reading them to my students and my daughter. The illustrations are beautiful and keep the attention of the children having the story read to them. Overall I highly recommend this book to anyone with children or any teachers and Early Childhood staff in childcare!

I don’t read a lot of books with high school characters because I tend to get caught up in feeling they’re too immature, flat or even annoying. I decided to pick up the The Lie That Binds because I’ve read and enjoyed books by this author in the past and wanted to give it a fair try. It took me a while to get into the storyline because I was confused by all the characters and keeping them straight was hard. As the storyline picked up, I was definitely more invested. I didn’t connect to the main characters as much as I hoped I would, but that could have been my personal issue vs the characters themselves. My favorite thing about the book was how the chapters begin with a quote, just as unique to me as finding a book that still names the chapters! Overall, it was a good read with the emotional rollercoaster I have gone to expect from this author.
I absolutely loved Truth or Kill! I love that it was based on an urban legend. I also love that there’s a whole urban legend series that I’m now going to have to love into. Going into it I initially expected something different, than what it actually was. It was surprisingly refreshing actually. The author brings together two lost and broken souls that don’t really belong among the rest. Invited to a spring break retreat by her teammate, Sydney has no idea what she’s walking into. Expecting a calm week on a lake in a canoe, what else would she do going up to a cabin. Instead she’s presented with a palace in the woods, without a canoe in sight, oh and a bunch of rich heirs and heiresses. She knows she doesn’t belong and can’t even imagine the game that she’s going to be stuck playing. What or should I say who catches her off guard is Kage. He’s extremely unexpected, but a very welcome distraction. Kage, why does it have to be this angel? Hoping things go to plan this week, maybe he can spare her. She’s also exactly the person who could unravel their plans as well. Little does he know she’s as twisted and broken as he is. An unexpected kindred spirit. Will she be an issue? Can she be trusted? Kage thinks so, but his brothers are a different story. Does Sydney prove her worth? So many questions and so many answers, in this twisted dark romance. Again I will say I loved it!

Kramer – Review by Beverly Finnie
I could not put this one down, it was full of intrigue and the want to know more as I read, the story and characters offered a lot. It was a griping read from start to finish, and a most excellent thriller!
What made this book for me was the characters that it contained, and how the story developed around them all in different ways. Really felt for Rosalie. She endured so much, and kept enduring, I really was not sure how her story would end up turning out. Personally I loved how she was written, and her pain made her character who she was, especially later in the book. The intertwining of the characters with the plot at that one certain point really was that wow factor! The writing was amazing, and certainly kept you on the edge of your seat. Strong intrigue and anticipation as well. Fantastic read! Loved it completely!
I could not help love how much of a thrill ride this book was. I was unable to let go. I was held with a tight grip. Definitely a high recommendation for this must read book and author! Not one to be passed up!

I am in love with this series. Reece has gotten himself in a little bit of a tight spot entering a not-so-normal car race. You just might fight for your life in this one. a beatiful girl shows up and starts flirting with him, bringing on the ire of two bullies. Bring on the action and drama of the story. Hook and Ora are strongly advising him to stay away from this girl. Megan says he should too (but she’s not all she says she is). Secrets abound in this town. Just ask Jeb about them. Reece is good with metalwork and Jeb has him make a sword. It turns out to be needed because some heavy action is coming down the pipeline at the end. I love the drama, the plot twists and characters. I feel the author does a fantastic job of making you think you might know what is going on (but not really. Remember those secrets..). One of the best fantasy/paranormal series for young adults that I’ve read recently. I’m a fan now.

I really enjoyed this story. It is a great mixture of romance and danger. The story is thrilling as we journey with Aimee and Qadir. I loved their characters. Aimee is such a strong independent woman. She’s had a tough life which has lead her to where she is and the person she is today. So pleased that she remains a strong character that isn’t afraid to speak her mind and be herself. Qadir is a powerful guy and has such he isn’t used to people confronting him or going against his wishes, however when he meets Aimee he gets that and a whole lot more. Aimee will challenge him in ways he has never experienced before and he will allow her to do just that. They meet when Aimee saves his life. And once the meet Qadir is certain he won’t let her go. But that’s when things change. Aimee escapes and leaves but what she doesn’t realise is that she now becomes a target. Can this couple work through their life differences and find common ground? Can they save each other from the constant threats to their lives? With the distrust and danger do they stand any chance of being together or will the difference in their lifestyle and worlds but too much for them to overcome.

a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61247292-castor-s-kiss” style=”float: left; padding-right: 20px”>Castor’s Kiss by Tai James My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Castor’s Kiss is a great science fiction romance about two people that find each other. Mia Grey has been tortured and watched someone close to her die. Castor has forced himself not to have a soulmate because his family didn’t believe in things like that. They meet and their attraction is instant the second they lock eyes. This book has action, drama and romance. Mia and Castor get into battle with other people that are enemies. The fight scenes are great and detailed, letting me picture what the conflicts are in my head. The author does a great job with world building by creating futuristic planets for the book and different characters that are unique for the story. I recommend anyone who loves sci-fi and enjoys romance to read Castor’s Kiss. This book is a great example of true love and how there is someone out there for everyone. Reviewed by @cw31

Morgan is a nurse with 20 years of experience. Nothing surprises her anymore. With the ability to see ghosts after a near death experience.
When Esmeralda, a man-hungry woman, sets her sights on her boyfriend Caleb Lightfoot, Morgan starts to wonder about a future with Caleb, even though she feels like their relationship is moving too fast.
This was a fun and entertaining read. I had not read the first novel but the cover for both caught my attention.
I loved the characters and Morgan. My best friend is a nurse so reading this gave me a bit of an insight into what her days are like as well as others who work in a hospital.
So far, I saw there were only two novels in the series so far. I hope the author decides to write more.

This one is intriguing. It’s in the realm of The Scorch Trials, Fifth Wave, and the Divergent series. Those are the immediate stories that pop into my head as I read this book. Following the main character through the seeming normal morning to something that is beyond grasp, his feelings and emotions are relatable and easy to understand.
Post-Covid, reading something like this is fascinating. Going through something like this would be scary for anyone. Having to choose whether to work harder than you ever have before to save the species or to stay with your family? I’m not sure what my answer would be. But knowing my vulnerabilities, I can empathize with Campbell’s sister, Sorcha. She’s brilliant and intelligent, but he was the one chosen to go. Like having to see someone off to war, knowing you may, or won’t ever see someone again, it takes a deep emotional toll on a person. Especially someone who thinks of everyone else before themselves.
I absolutely love the description of Campbell’s mom. The fiery, five foot woman, who no one wants to trifle with. I couldn’t help but giggle in that moment because I’ve met women like that before and am one myself. Her strength is amazing.
Watching Freyja and Campbell’s relationship grow through the book is such a cool thing. It’s more than just about sex between these two, you can really tell that they truly care about each other. One is more emotional than the other, the other being more logical. It’s just amazing to see how the communities grow and thrive after such hardships and come out working hard as a group to make life worth living together.
The author does an amazing job when it comes to the scientific descriptions of everything and the fact that mental health is talked about too just made it more real for me. Like Campbell’s anxiety, and then, the grief along the way of all of those who were chosen, and those who left loved ones behind felt real and tangible like you were really there.
This story is so cool. There are things all over the book that help you learn so much. I didn’t even know what antipodes were, but man… I feel like I’m learning a lot from this.
Not only is this book an amazing read when it comes to the characters, but the scenery is gorgeous, and the amount of scientific and philosophical knowledge that the author incorporates is fantastic. I found myself in awe about the things I didn’t know that I learned from this book.

Desiree is hunting the remaining vampires with some help from Theron. Jacob is a vampire that wants to find a way to hunt without killing. I could not put this book down. The setting of New Orleans makes this all the more reason to read this. I’ve never been there but I am adding New Orleans on my places to visit list. I love reading books that make me want to travel. The author did not disappoint. I hope we get novels in this series. The covers are so beautiful and alluring that it entices one pick it up. I love supernatural elements and this novel has so much of it. Such an enticing novel.

If you are interested into diving into the 1480’s, this book is for you. Not only is there arranged marriages and tension woven throughout the novel, there’s real historical details you can find present throughout. The character development between Isabel and William is beautiful, as they come together as a couple. 100% worth the time to read and get to know this old world.

Even better than the first two books in the series! Picking right up from where book 2 left off, we find ourselves still at sea with Thorfinn and his Uncle Karl. Cub is a thrall(slave) in the tin mines and poor Kara is living in her uncle’s town and is expected to marry soon! Gurid is finally reunited with Yeru and her youngest child, but things are not all as happy as they appear in the land of Eddisbury. Sorven is still looking to avenge the takeover and ruin of his family’s life and belongings and wants to avenge his uncle’s death. Such a lot going on in this book and can I say it is AMAZING! We read of Cub being at his lowest point and beat to almost death and yet he does not give up on life. Thorfinn is a great hero to many and saves the lives of several people in the book. Such a great book and I cannot give any more information about it so as not to provide spoilers, but I absolutely love Kara and what she really wants to do with her life! The historical aspects and facts written into such a wonderful continuing saga of Thorfinn and his family makes this such a great read. It is so interesting reading stories of yore about families and how they lived in the past and their everyday lives. I am so thrilled at the tiny details that truly give this book the color, flair, and drama that a truly great book has. It has been such a pleasure reading The Forerunner Saga Series and I can hardly wait for book 4, Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire. You truly need to pick up this book and read the continuation of The Forerunner Saga Series. You will not be disappointed. This book is by far my favorite so far in the series, with so much action, adventure, and answers but with a few burning questions left unanswered!

Toni Aleo is one of the reigning queens of hockey romance, and she lives up to all of the hype and wonderful reviews she gets from her readers. I’m so glad I discovered her several years ago.
Now, it’s Evan and Callie’s turn to share their story with us, and what a beautiful story it is. Evan has come home to Nashville after retiring from the NHL. He is taking the time to focus on his mental health. Now, he finds himself surrounded by women gymnasts instead of hockey players. He has just begun his job as the athletic trainer for the gymnastics team. Callie and Evan’s paths have crossed before, as Callie’s sister is married to a hockey player, but they have never really had the opportunity to get to know each other.
When Callie sees him jogging one day with the hockey team, she decides she is going to take her chance with him. Her lust soon turns to something deeper when she discovers that he is struggling with feelings of worthlessness and being a failure. Both of them are soon on the path to finding out what true love really is and how it can truly save you…hence the perfect title of this book, Saved by Love!
I admired both Callie and Evan. I could totally relate to both of them. Evan feels like a failure for leaving the NHL because of his family’s legacy in the sport. He feels as if he is letting them down, especially his father. Who hasn’t felt at times that we have disappointed those we love? I know I have felt that way myself, even though I may not have. It was the same for Evan. I admired his tenacity and his focus on his mental health and his commitment to ridding himself of those feelings of worthlessness and failure.
While Cassie wants to make everyone she is around to feel the love and support that she has from her sister and brother-in-law, she still struggles with trust because of her family’s past issues. She hasn’t been able to let someone in to share those deep feelings of uncertainty and fear. Somehow, Evan is able to do just that!
While I loved the characters, both the main characters and secondary ones, I loved the story even more. Aleo always dives deeply underneath the surface and tackles important issues which make both the characters and story more realistic and relatable. Aleo never disappoints and that is what puts her on top of my list of favorite writers.

Suspense at its finest! Arley is on the run and she has information the cartel is after. They will stop at nothing. Kill along the way if they have too. Arley finds an old friend, Kirt , who is willing to give her a job. A job at a BDSM club, and . keep her safe. But will they be able to be friends or will something else happen? This author has really pulled out all the stops in this story. I was sucked in on page one and could not put the book down. There is Suspense, Danger and some pretty Steamy scenes. The story will keep you entertained and pull out all of your feelings. Want a story to settle your head on anything else going on. Just for a while that is. Take the chance on this book I bet you will do as I did. Go back and get book 1. Happy Reading.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life. They kept me coming back for more. This is a story about revenge. Someone has a score to settle but that person may not be the only one. This story is full of action and suspense. I found the characters to be relatable and strong. They keep the story engaging and hard to put down. The growth of the plot and characters throughout the story made it easy to read. A well rounded story that has twists and turns that left me turning pages fast. A story that is entertaining and one you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

What an intriguing romance. Coming in with baggage, Marina and Dan have a challenge ahead. Having had a hard time finding a good man, is this the oe for here? Really good book that grabbed me from the start. I found the plot went smooth with a few twists. A little steam is always a treat. The characters are well developed . Marina is very easy to relate to. A contemporary romance for a weekend read.

Woah, such a good read. I also love when books have different POV from each character. Gives you more of the story! But this one was intense and towards the end it took such a drastic turn! I wasn’t expecting that. Extremely impressed, because I didn’t think that’s what was going to happen! As for the character Rosalie, she’s something else lol. Don’t underestimate that woman. Cate, I enjoyed her character, very like-able. As for Vin and Anastasia, they suck. Anastasia is probably the worse. But I went into this book blind, just based it off the cover. And I’m so glad I read this. 4 stars for me!

Well I’m ready to trade my family -mom- SUV in for a piece of wood with wheels 🙃
Aimee aka Wheels may not have a formal education but she is very clever , can speak I think it’s 7 languages , she has street smarts and she has a good heart and a kindness to animals ❤️🐾
She’s a courier and she doesn’t shy away from hard work and she’s well loved by those who know her … it’s on a delivery that her paths cross that of royalty and she not only gets the delivery done on time but she also saves the life of his royal hotness !
I think she’s a breath of fresh air for many but so much more for Quadir ❣️😉 she’s sees the man not for what he can do for her ……
When I started this I wasn’t sure what to expect but what I got was absolute brilliance ! There was steam , there was laughter , there was fear and suspense !
I tried to summarise it as Pretty woman meets GI Jane meets Cinderella .
All is not what it seems , r there’s so much more to these people than meets the eye .
Aimee will make a perfect queen . She’s compassionate, kind , fair , humble , beautiful and she lives her life by her strong moral compass !

Enchanted in Time is a wonderfully written Paranormal story that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I’m a huge fan of this author. Her style of writing along with her creative characters make for one heck of a story. I got pulled in from the beginning and got lost in the pages. At times I literally felt like I was apart of the story. Her attention to detail is so on point. This is a story about Roxanne and Claudette. Claudette is a best selling author with one dying wish and that is to spend her last days in a house she absolutely loves being in. Roxanne is her caregiver and she loves listening to Claudette’s stories. These two bond over said stories but then strange things start happening she begins to question whether its real or not. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This contemporary romance has to be one of the best romances I have read this year. While I have not read the other books in this series trust me when I say that I will be reading them and hoping that they are as good as Nick and Skylars story. Full of fantastic characters, a great story, romance and more you wont want to put this story down.

I get excited when I see this author has another book out.
Kiss A Thief is another wonderful steamy standalone contemporary romance by Marina. I am always completely captivated by her stories. It is a quick read, but it has everything that makes your heart flutter. With her loveable characters, sizzling chemistry, a little sass and lots of angst, a few intense moments, a touch of suspense and you can’t put this book down. I also love her wicked sense of humour which she entwines effortlessly.
Liar – Con Artist – Swindler – but watch the sparks fly and the fun begins.
Marina knows just what to give her readers and sticks with what works and trust me it works.

I love how the protagonist isn’t what you would typically think of as a main character. A ghost as the main is just brilliant! Without getting into spoilers, I love that she started out with a selfish (albeit worthwhile) mission. But she ends up understanding the real reason to complete it and doesn’t really care about the outcome for herself. The secondary main is such a sad character at the start, but she really grows as a character. I’m excited to see how the author continues this series with a ghost as the main.

I accidentally read this thinking that it was the second in the series, but I’m still happy to have read it. The author, as always, does an amazing job describing the technical bits of ballet. I can picture the scenes in my head without any effort. I love that Grace and Lauren continued to be joint protagonists. The added element of Nyree was just amazingly sweet. Now I need to go back and read the second entry to get to know the boys who have joined this world.

As her health improves, a slow burn of vengeance simmers in her heart. With the help of her homecare nurse, she regains full mobility. While hiding the truth from her husband, she uncovers the extent of his betrayal…and learns he is not at all who he seems. Their planned anniversary trip overseas gives her the perfect occasion for revenge.
But at the fancy Sicilian resort, Rosalie is not the only one with a score to settle with Vincent. And in the end, she’s not the only one with blood on her hands…

Reece had a thirst for the adrenaline rush that came with taking risks. He’d avoided paying the price for most of his push of the envelope until he met one person that used his lust for fast cars, wicked weapons, ditching school, and beautiful girls to trap him in the most seductive ways. Someone he least expected put her life in danger to save him from himself, and he wouldn’t waste her sacrifice. Reece would use the anger fueled by the strikes to an innocent to start the beginning of the turn of justice that would change the course of his life. He hoped his family could forgive him for the deal that put a target on their heads.

This book kept me turning the pages! Evan Adler has recently medically retired from the NHL and recently became and athletic trainer for a women’s gymnastics team. His whole family has been involved in hockey on one form or another and he feels as though he let them all down. Callie Pearce knows a thing or two about hockey, but her heart lies in gymnastics. When she sees Evan running by with the hockey team one day she calls dibs and decides to take her shot. Will they find love and happiness together? I feel it was admirable of Eva though, even of he is a fictional character, to step away from what he loved for his mental health. It is a serious subject that doesn’t get as much attention as it should, but has been coming to light more often. The author did a great job and now I need to go find the rest of the books in the series.

Let It Be Love is the fifth book in the Mustang Prairie series by N.D Jackson. It is a wonderfully sweet and captivating small town contemporary romance. What can I say except that I love this series and it only seems to get better with each new release. I love that we get to know all the characters, I feel like we’re part of the community of Mustang Prairie. I love that even though each new book focuses on one particular couple, we still get to interact and catch up with the other recurring characters in the series. They each play a part in making this series so great. I also love how they develop and grow over the course of the story/series too. This is Eric and Kiki’s story…. And what a sweet story it is. That’s not to say that everything was smooth sailing, because it wasn’t. These two definitely had to work through some issues, some of which are not exactly ‘normal’. As Kiki is a well-known pop-star she brings her own pressures to the relationship. Things that a normal relationship may not have to overcome- like dealing with fame, agents, intrusive paparazzi, or the gossip mill… as well as anxiety and insecurities. These two will have to navigate their way through some serious issues if they have any chance of finding happiness and a future together. I look forward to seeing what this talented author produces next. Happy Reading!
