This book was FANTASTIC! This book came out of nowhere.. I picked it up because I loved the cover and the blurb sounded interesting but I couldn’t put it down. I was absorbed into the story and i was living it with the characters and that’s how you know the author did an awesome job. This story had great characters and they dealt with some major life issues but they handled it well and still loved tremendously. I liked them ALOT. I am so looking forward to more by this author because I absolutely adored it. I will definitely recommend this one to a friend!! Happy Reading!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Emma (Notebook Mysteries Book 1) Audio Book by Kimberly Mullins
Emma is the first audio book in the Notebook Mysteries Series and I absolutely loved listening to it. This is my first audiobook by this author and I definitely can’t wait to listen to more by her. The narrator did a wonderful job of making you feel as if you are a part of the story. The narrator did a great job of changing the tone of their voice with each different character. This is a fun yet entertaining story that takes you on quite the adventure as we follow Emma. I found myself lost in the narration and couldn’t bring myself to stop listening until I finished. I highly recommend listening to this story and look forward to reading/listening to more by this author.

This was my first read from this author and I loved it. This was a great 5 star read. My emotions were all over the place. Evan has decided to leave hockey and return home to finish school. He ends up meeting Callie when he takes an athletic trainer job for gymnastics. There is something different about her that pulls him in. Will Callie and Evan give into their connection? Will they get a HEA?
Overall this was a great read. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. She touches on a serious topic of mental health in sports and what the athletes deal with. I really liked these two, they were perfect for each other. This can be read as a stand alone. I look forward to reading more from this author and catching up on the series. If you’re looking for a great hockey romance, 1-click and get started today.

Enchanted In Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett is a wonderful paranormal story, woven with friendship, mystery, emotion, drama, and intriguing twists that had me devouring the story long past my bedtime just so I could find out how everything played out in the end. I know I have said this before, but I really do enjoy Ms. Barrett’s work, her stories are always cleverly constructed, intriguing, and entirely engrossing. And this story certainly lived up to my expectations, and then some! I saw this pop up on my recommended book notifications, and I snapped up a copy without even knowing what it was about because I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. I loved meeting Roxanne and Claudette- and the following along while their intriguing story unfolded. Ms. Barrett added enough clever little twists to the story that I was completely hooked, avidly reading to find out what was happening. I don’t want to spoil it for you by giving anything away, except to say that it is definitely worth the read. So, grab a copy and let the author, characters, and story surprise you- in a really great way. Can’t wait to see what Ms. Barrett has in store for us next. Happy Reading!

Distant Memories has me falling further into a world of exploration then Distant Heart sounds did! I’m in love with these books. They are light, dark, and humorous, sometimes one just needs a book to make them laugh out loud. We return to Good Samaritan and Morgan’s now bizarre life. Only this time something dark and sinister is lurking in the shadows. It also doesn’t help that a certain Dr.Lightfoot is also lurking. Is Caleb too good to be true? That’s the question Morgan keeps asking herself. Meanwhile Caleb is trying to wrap his head around everything Morgan is experiencing. All the while chipping away at Morgan’s resolve. Meanwhile, someone lets Esmeralda through a dimension portal and she is wreaking havoc wherever she goes. She also has a massive chip on her shoulders against women. Who let her out? Was it because of Caleb? Are Morgan’s insecurities unfounded? Those questions and so many more popped into my mind while reading book 2 in this series. In saying that if you think this book sounds interesting, make sure you read book 1 first. It sets up this world and backstory up for book 2 perfectly. Again I’ll reiterate that this is a great beginning to a series, I hope there’s potential for more in the future. More books by this author is a definite must!!

Book 1 of The Brothers if Creekside Ranch is fabulous. I enjoyed immersing myself in this ranch and this little family. Triplet brothers raising their sister after the recent passing of their parents. Levi, former Navy Seal, brings Bella to the ranch to protect her at the request of one of his Seal buddies. Neither Levi nor Bella know what they are in for when they get there. This story is compelling and the descriptions made it all come to life in my mind. I can’t wait to continue this journey with this family.

I loved listening to this title! The narrator has a soothing voice and the story line is fantastic! Emma is growing up in a city recovering from the great fire and as she grows as a person she grows as a character. From the very beginning readers are sucked in and wanting to know what happens next! I am looking forward to more in this series!

This was a fantastic start to a magical new series! We start by meeting Phoenix, the crown prince of the Twilight Realm. Unfortunately his parents are murdered in a coup and he and his sister are separated and he is raised in obscurity until he is old enough to take back his crown. We then meet a young Zoe, a virtual prisoner in her parents’ castle, and she is desperate to escape. She begins to realize how her magic can work for her and she is determined to keep it a secret from those who would use it to harm others. The book bounces back and forth between the two characters and from when they are younger until the present time for them. I loved seeing how the story unfolded and the characters grew and matured. Both Zoe and Nix want so badly to feel love and be needed, but they are so scared of being hurt that they keep their guards up. It was so sweet to see how they get to know each other while working to try and save a Kingdom! It was an awesome book to read and I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy!
Enchanted in Time is a wonderfully woven story. I will not say anything specific because I do not want to give anything away. The story is multifaceted and brings all the feels. I laughed, cried, and ripped through the pages of this book. I enjoyed the characters and how their stories wove themselves together. The story read quickly and left me wanting more from the story. I haven’t read much from this author before, but now I will be looking for more from her. I was absolutely enchanted.

Caring for Kingsley is an emotional read. When I read the description of the book I knew I needed to read it. I have lost fur babies in the past but just recently I lost one to cancer. While reading this book, I cried because I could feel everything Alli Eldridge was saying. The feelings are rawer because of the fact we cannot speak to dogs and cannot read their minds. Then the question of life and the quality that the animal is living. I really felt Kingsley’s story was true to the emotions and fears of any fur baby mom. I highly recommend this book. There is one small thing make sure you have kleenex close by because you are going to need it throughout the book. Thank you Alli Eldridge for putting feelings into words so wonderfully.

This was an interesting story of Emma who grow up in the late 1800s and after surviving the great Chicago Fire. Emma is observes everything and notices things that no one else does. This leads her to start solving mysteries and solve a crime no one knew was a crime. I did feel like there could have been a bit more character development as some things I felt like were skimmed over. Overall, this was a fun listen with a twist at the end.

This was a great bridge story between Book 1 and Book 2 of the Twilight Realm Series. We get to meet Yarissa, a young adult elf who thinks she has everything planned out and then bam! Everything starts to spiral out of control. At the start of the book, she is on a spy mission that she has to complete for her training and the mission starts to go sideways, but thanks to her quick thinking, she is able to complete the mission. This sets off a series changes she didn’t expect or plan for. As we progress through the book we see her start to grow as an elf and start to believe in herself. She begins to make new friends and slowly lets herself start to trust again. She has been entrusted in an important mission by King Phoenix to find his missing sister and she is determined to complete her mission. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and made me even more excited for book 2.
Roxanne takes a job as a ghost writer for Claudette who is a best selling author. Roxanne lost her husband and son in a horrible car wreck. She continues to have trouble dealing with their deaths. Things begin to change for her as she hears the stories that Claudette wants her to write. Such an amazing story!!

This audio was fun to listen to. Enjoyable story and likable characters as we are thrown in after the Great Chicago Fire. Emma is all about adventure and has a keen sense in her way of thinking for sure. Emma is helping to run her family bakery and also help deliver as well…Emma discovers when helping deliver bakery goods is there a robbery being taken place?? Mystery, adventure and a notebook this story is fun and enjoyable!

What a different way to tell a story! I was surprised and thrilled at how the stories intertwined. The characters…well I loved them! They each have their own drama or story and I enjoyed how they figure it out and move forward. My biggest dislike was the last story because it felt a little rushed but again it was tied perfectly with the others.
I liked how creative the author is to come up with this book. This one has something for everyone. Characters of all ages and a little mystery in each one. Also it is a great title and name of a book store!

This is not my typical type of story. I usually skip ghostly books. I have read this author before and I love how she is able to bring a story to life so I decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed! I was actually surprised with the twists this one took. I know I had to re-read lines a couple times because of my shock. I enjoy how the author made me believe in these characters.
I really liked the story and the characters. Just goes to show..read with an open mind. In the back there is a short story about finding your happiness. It is a good bonus read.

This is an imaginative story. I actually got caught up in the story near the end. Sadly this ends unfinished so the next book is needed to continue the adventure. This story felt kinda slow to me for the first half. Luckily this has short chapters which helps the story move along at a quicker pace. The second half is when things speed up and get interesting. We meet a lot of new characters and the world is just different. I felt like Dorothy who landed in Oz trying to figure out the reasons and customs of the new realm.
Overall I struggled with the first half of the book. I kept plugging along and the second half kept me entertained. We end with a lot of unanswered questions.

Isabella knows that bad things happen in threes. First her parents die, leaving her alone in America. Then a fire takes the factory she worked in. What could happen next? It wasn’t uncommon for bachelors, in the 1800’s, to search for a bride through advertisements. Isabella answered such an ad in hopes of finding someone to love and who would love her back. Mr. Donald Jenks sweeps her off her feet and gets her to agree to head to Ohio to meet him. Her travels to Ohio didn’t come easy, her wedding day to Donald came quickly. So, did she find true love? Yes, but not where you thought she would. This a a sweet historical fiction love story. It is a quick and easy read with very likeable characters (well, the nice ones anyway!). If you are looking for an adventure, Isabella will give you that!

Blood & Vengeance is the second book in the Casket Girls series. It’s a great series – vampire-hunting paranormal romance set in 18th Century New Orleans. I love the setting – a lot of attention has been paid to historical detail making for a vibrant and interesting world to explore. It’s definitely worth reading this series in order. Although from a romance perspective each story focuses on a different couple, the paranormal plot that runs through is developed from book to book. The background of Blood & Ravens will really help readers appreciate Blood & Vengeance. With Greer off in the Underworld, the focus in this book shifts to Desiree. She’s determined to eliminate the remaining vampires that were preying on her and her companions. This determination is heightened when she learns that the vampire that was assigned to her – who got a taste for her blood – may still be out there. Desiree is a good foil to the pining Theron, and steps up to the mark to advocate for Jaxon as he proves his willingness to change. It’s good to see characters who were previously in a fairly powerless position gain agency and learn to stand up for themselves. This is another five-star book, and I’m excited to see that the series will continue! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the previous one, and would recommend the previous one to all fans of paranormal romance and anyone with an interest in New Orleans’ history.

Brazeau – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Levi had me hooked from the first page. The author has a way with words and I hardly put my kindle down while reading this book. The book started right in the middle of the action. I thought Levi was a jerk in the beginning and was happy to learn the reason why, and start to see a transition to him mid-book. His brothers are fun and very loveable so I can’t wait to read their stories. Bella is not at all what I expected. She grew up an aristocrat, but somehow ended up with a Russian mob boy friend. I wish there was more back story there, but it gave us enough information to go on, and we discovered more of their past relationship as the story went on. The ending was abrupt but at the same time was kind of a perfect happily ever after. I am glad to know the story continues in book two though. Happy to have found a new author and series!

Enchanted in Time is a great story filled with romance, suspense and mystery. Roxanne has dealt with loss in her life. As a distraction, she goes to live with an elderly woman who is a writer named Claudette. I loved the conversations that the two had about writing characters as a fellow author. This was not a typical romance because the story wasn’t just about two people falling in love. Roxanne did meet and fall in love with Phillip but the book also dealt with her relationship with Claudette. This was an interesting change of pace for me. Also, Phillip is from a different time period which gives the story a science fiction aspect. Overall, Enchanted in Time is about people who have suffered great loss in their lives and how they overcome said loss. This story also showed that you can have hope when things seem bleak. I recommend this book for anyone who is into romantic science fiction. Reviewed by @cw31

I did not enjoy this book as much as I expected to, however that is mostly my own doing. I didn’t pay enough attention to the categories this book is listed under and missed the fact that it’s a coming-of-age story (and probably could have surmised that from the blurb, but didn’t for some reason). Those are not my usual reads. In addition to that, it’s under a romance category, but it’s definitely more of a love story due to how things play out (which isn’t really clear by reading the book description). I don’t usually read those either. The writing style took a little getting used to as well.
That being said, if coming-of-age and love stories are your thing, you’ll likely enjoy this book very much. I like the overall concept of the book and the author did a great job of creating the characters. The world building was also great. You will experience many different emotions while reading this, and the tension keeps things interesting.
WOW. Where do I start with these wonderful brothers?? This box set blew me away. As I had not read anything from India Kells before, I had my reservations committing to the entire set. Those qualms were blown away mere pages into the first book. The author has such a way of grabbing your attention and writing the stories so well that they just envelop you. I love each of these boys for slightly different reasons, but they all have such strong qualities that you just root for automatically. My favorites are probably a tie between Aleksei and Archer, the Lost Bastard and the Cold Bastard, respectively. Though these brothers will all do whatever it takes to protect the ones they love, this box set is full of strong women as well. This series is fast-paced and suspenseful with plenty of steamy scenes that you can’t get enough of!

I’ve read her other books, and didn’t realize there was a first! SO of course I had to come read this one as well! I use audibles at work, so I did this one! Emma is such a smart and observant girl. It all started with her mother. Her mother always taught her to be aware of her surroundings. Unfortunately, her mother passed away during a massive fire. Years later, Emma is a very curious teenager who tries to keep observant of her world. Thanks to this, she discovers and helps solve many mysteries and many more. Please try this series out! So worth it!

Wiches, Vampires, Demons, humans… What more could you want!
Part 2 of the Casket Girls was as good and if not better than the first book. Desiree and Theron are trying to take out the remaining vampires that escaped in book one. Desiree hates vampires and will not stay on the side lines. She ends up in the presence of Jaxon and although she is trying to hate him she finds she just can not. There is a pull between the two. Will Desiree have a change of heart and fall for Jaxon? Will Jaxon succumb to his old Mistress in order to keep her safe? Read this amazing part 2 to find out all the details. You will be kept in suspense and hoping all is what it seems.

I love to read firemen’s stories. This one is just what I needed to read. Sol was injured and forced to retire from his firehouse. He has a long battle to find himself. Starting with the demons within. Ember is a new firefighter, and her secret crush as well as her mentor has been forced out. Will work pull them apart? Or are they so much more? Even though there are years between them, could they possibly build friendship and more? This story is quite the rollercoaster of emotions. While the story is short, the author has packed it full of reading enjoyment. Even Though I started with book 4 in this series, I’m Going back to the beginning of the series. This story is well written and very much worth your time. I hope you enjoy this series as I am.

This was actually the first of the Pierce Brothers books that I read. Now i will absolutely be going back to read the others! I loved this book so much and I couldn’t put it down once I started. Victoria and Seth were perfect characters and also perfect for each other. Also, Pip was one of my absolute favorite characters. I can’t wait for Noah’s book!

The Second Alpha Heir by C.L. Ledford 4 out of 5 stars
To say I related to this book is an understatement. The main character, Nolen, went through so much and still persevered. To never feel good enough, to think your mate would have rejected him, and to think he could never be accepted as the pack leader, yet he still went through all the training.
Being a person who was bullied, and never thought I was good enough, this book brought me to tears on multiple occasions. Then in the next chapter I was shouting and dancing and yelling, “Go Nolen!” Very few books make me feel this way, and I was pleasantly surprised that this book got me to this point. The Second Alpha Heir, was an easy and quick read, being only 175 pages, but left you wanting to read just one more chapter before bed. Next thing you know you are finishing the book, it’s 4 am, and you have to get up for work.
If you want a book that takes you on a roller coaster of emotions; happy, sad, angry, and easily relatable main character, this is the book for you. I cannot write enough good things about this book, so thank you C.L. Ledford for writing such a fantastic book!
What pushed me to give 4 out of 5 stars if this book was so good? A couple of things, but I want to point out, that if I could give half stars I would. I definitely would rate this 4.5 instead of 4, but alas here I am only able to give 4 stars. Reasons for deducting one star are a few minor things that hopefully can help the author grow and keep writing books as amazing as this one! The first reason would be, which was towards the beginning and very minor, was that the female lead character, her actions seemed off for being at age 10. For example, she hid behind her mom’s skirts. If she was 10, how was she that small? I picture “hiding behind her mom’s skirts” would be a little toddler scared of new people, not a 10 year old. Another writing option would be, she was hiding behind her mother’s frame. I feel that type of description might have made more sense. I also felt that some of the scenes were a bit rushed, and could have been described a bit more. Some of the battle scenes, fasting forward to 90 years old, etc. Like I said, very minor things to help with constructive criticism.
I cannot wait for more books to be published by this author!
