This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. I look forward to reading more in this series in the future. This is a well written story where the characters bring the twists and turns to a new level. A story that is full of action and suspense. It has great growth throughout the story as well. I found this story to be fast paced and hard to put down. An engaging story that had me coming back for more. A story about an ex-cop who now does repo and has repossessed the wrong boat. Now the cartel is after what was taken from them. I really enjoyed how the author used details to make the characters relatable and supportive. They made the story feel realistic, as if you were right there with them. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. I really enjoyed reading this story. I highly recommend this story.

As always, this author amazes me in all which they write and create. This book alone had its own magic and mesmerized me with the words in which it held. The characters brought on their own intrigue as well, I could not put it down, I was very much invested with my reading.
The book gave me such feelings, and the truth, which was hard to take at times, we are meet an end’s meet at some point, no matter how much we want to avoid it. But something that does not die with us, is the life we lived, the impressions we made, or the story of ourselves that we wrote. I found all that to be true a I read this wonderful book.
I was caught up between Roxanne and Claudette as I read, and I was so emotionally invested, I can not come up with other words to say how much I loved and appreciated this novel. Wonderful character development and heart felt emotions. Loved it!
The writing was amazing, and the author certainly brought a beautiful story to life in many ways. We all need to read this I believe. Do not pass it up! I highly recommend this must-read book!

This is an intense, adventure story. You are sucked in straight from the beginning. Well-written with the tone of a true Floridian spy novel, the characters all seem to have secrets they are hiding. The main plot has twists and turns that have you questioning as you think you know who did it. Clayton is a protagonist just trying to figure out the right thing to do for his daughter. Everywhere he turns are antagonists. This is an excellent story with the suspense, a shot at romance, thriller, and adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think adventure lovers out there will love it too.

I enjoyed reading this story. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up this author. One of the things I enjoy is how she uses details to make me feel part of the story. This is a well written story about Roxanne and her job of caring for Claudette. Claudette has one dying wish and that is to spend her last days in a house she loves being in. These two bond over stories. Now Roxanne is questioning herself and even the fictional characters. What happens next in this story you will want to read to find out. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start. I enjoyed these characters and how connectable they were. They are strong, supportive characters that made the story for me. This is a fast paced story that kept me coming back for more. A fast paced story that kept me engaged and I wanted to know more. I enjoyed the growth of the characters as well as the growth of the plot. This is a story that is hard to put down. You don’t want to miss this story for sure. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The intriguing story and adventure continues! I never tire of this series, its just so fantastically written! Its so easy to get hooked on the characters and the story, this author does not disappoint!
I found this book didn’t hold back. We all had a good base from the previous two books, this one packed on the adventure and mystified me in its own special way. The visual affects the author creates were stunning as usual. I was pulled in, and felt I was there with all the characters. Wonderful character development and the outside factors were an amazing contribute to the story as well!
Again, love this series, and can not get enough at all. I love this series, and always very much enjoy it. I recommend this series if you have not got your hands on it yet. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful story. Roxanne is recovering from the loss of her husband and son. She is offered a caregiving position with Claudette Grayson, a famous author that she idolizes. Little does Roxanne realize that she has walked into a magical mystery that will change her life forever. Full of intrigue, romance, suspense, mystery and a bit of enchantment/time-travel, the story will grab you by the hand the minute you start it and pull you right in. You will find that you must know what happens after every page. I couldn’t put it down. Phillip is the mystery man of intrigue and I had to know who he was and what was going on. The story is so well-written. Claudette is so set on her story being finished that you can’t help but wonder why. The mystery of who Phillip is and why he is is a primary question. The intrigue of what happened between Margaret and Phillip? So many questions to be answered. I love the plot twists. The plot even flowed smooth for having a few diversions. The characters were well-intertwined. Every one had their individual part but also played a key role. I didn’t see Renee’s surprise coming. I found that the trapped in time/enchantment theme worked really well. The climax of the book played out well. I wasn’t too sure at first but as it was explained, it all came out so well. A great book that I feel many will love. Highly recommend.

This is my first audiobook by this author. I really enjoyed listening to it. I look forward to listening to more by this author. I enjoyed how the narrator was able to pull me into the story by using different tones of voice. It also helped keep the story engaging. The characters took me on an adventure of magic and evil spirits. They are not only connectable and the narrator gave life to the story. This is a story of a journey to Middle Earth and a race of survival to save all from darkness. I highly recommend this audiobook and this author.

Andy Justice is a single dad, trying to teach his daughter, Stella, how to live in a world without labels . . . to love and be loved for who she is. To value family and friends, and always be kind. The lesson may not seem extraordinary, but when you’re a single, gay man, battling Parkinson’s who’s adopted a deaf girl orphaned because her mother was murdered, it has a lot more significance in the meaning.
These two have become the perfect medicine to heal each other’s heart. Andy just never thought he would be doing this alone. His husband, Stephen, was not on board with raising Stella. Between Andy’s illness and the special circumstances surrounding Stella, it was all too much for him. So . . . he walked away.
Just when Andy has settled into his new life with Stella and feels ready to give his heart another chance at finding love, Stephen unexpectedly contacts him and asks to meet. Andy agrees, if only to have his say, something he never had the chance to do before.
When the meeting happens, Andy finally feels the confidence to move on. Stella is his focus now, and even though Stephen will always have a place in his heart, he finds his closure. However, things are completely opposite in Stephen’s world, as seeing Andy only confirms what he’s been afraid to admit all along—he’s made a huge mistake. Now he has to do everything possible to win Andy back, to have the future that was always meant to be.
While Andy and Stephen are working on whether they will have a future together or not, a serial killer, who is targeting gay men, has other plans for them both.
There’s only one man who can put all the pieces together in time to save them—Fitzgerald “Fitz” Rodriguez.
I’m Theresa Sederholt, and I like writing. More than that, I love to tell stories. I write in multiple genres, but my heart, my passion, lies in writing stories that connect to those that have withstood dramatic, personal experiences. I want to bring awareness and understanding by dealing with subject matter that is intimidating to navigate.
On the flip side, I also like to whip up a steamy romance filled with suspense and sprinkled with mystery. Keeping you guessing with a twist here and there makes me happy.
When I’m not writing, I’m cooking with my amazing husband, spoiling my dogs, or enjoying the rolling hills of North Carolina that are my backyard.

From Cornish pit mines to Jorvik back alleys, from the Mercian Court to beyond the North Sea, the Agneson clan continues their adventures across Midgard and the 9 realms: Scheming aldermen, duplicitous monks, slave drivers, dark elves, trolls, ghosts, shapeshifting witches, the legendary Norse Wild Hunt, and… a dragon!
With the fall of the Danish army at the battle of Ethandun, historical events scatter the Agneson family: Cub is enslaved in the Devonshire tin mines while Sorven stalks retribution in Jorvik; Kara is unwillingly propelled toward a convenient Saxon marriage while Karl and his crew are castaway on a mythic floating island. Separated and marooned, each is forced to tackle their challenges alone while the forerunner Thorfinn faces supernatural revenge, a battle to lift a Jarl’s curse and the release of his Jotenheim wyrm in Midgard!
Can Cub escape his overseers in the tin pits of Devon? Can Kara evade her Saxon uncle’s plans for her marriage? Will Sorven succeed in his bloody revenge? Can Finn save a Jarl’s daughter and break a mysterious curse? Can the forerunner find and help his scattered family overcome their trials? And what can Finn do with… a pet dragon?!?
Based on actual historical events and authentic legends, this epic fantasy follows the paths of the sons and daughters of Agne, Son of Ironfist in the Viking Era circa the year 880. Like history and legends? Enjoy the gritty realism of TV’s Vikings or the multi-character fantasy of The Song of Ice and Fire? Want Viking Age drama and adventures like The Last Kingdom, then this is a series you’ll love!

No matter where she goes, USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Lynn Barrett hears voices in her head. Instead of calling her crazy and locking her up, her family realizes it’s just a product of being an author and allows her to write the stories so that the voices shut up.
But they don’t. And probably never will. There’s no need to lock her up, Nikki knows she’ll never escape the voices, not until each and every last story is written. And for every story she writes, about ten or more ideas pop up.
When she isn’t slaving away at her computer writing books that will probably make you cry and keep you in suspense, Nikki plots to take over the world one book at a time. What? It’s a sickness. One she can’t escape!
Books aren’t her only addiction, though. Nikki can be found making up parodies to drive her son crazy, and bantering back and forth with her husband, who somehow manages to steal her away from the fictional world she lives in all the time.
Nikki lives in Arizona with her husband and son, where she can be found using every creativity outlet she can find through music, photography, handcrafted things, and random interests that she may pick up from time to time.

I loved this book! The three stories were all different, it didn’t feel like you were just reading the same story three times. It had the best romance tropes and it was not cheesy! I loved how all the stories were connected and all the coincidences kept the book interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat. The alternating POV was great and the characters were fun! My favorite couple were Fiona and Price, they were just too cute for words but they also made me cry so much.

This was a great 5 star read. Victoria is running out of time to complete her goal by her 30th birthday. She has her sights set on an interview that could change her career. When she went to do the interview, an unexpected opportunity presented itself to her and she took it. Seth was intrigued by Victoria and was able to turn the tables on her. Little did they know just how much closer they would get. Will they both get what they want? Overall, this was a great read, I really enjoyed both characters. Seth was great and not what you would expect and Victoria was perfect for him. I loved the bantering between them, I had some LOL moments. If you’re looking for a read that pulls you right in you will like this one. It can be read as a stand alone.

I love a hockey sports romance that is hands down a frenemies to lovers with sizzling moments, drama, banter and some laugh out loud moments. I loved Tia and Bridger’s story as you meet them in book 1 and I love that this book is all about their story. Bridger is a hard core hockey player for Astoria Bay Thunder and loves the game but also loves the ladies as well. His love interests and off the ice moments get him in some hot water and needs to be simmered down. Tia is one Brynn’s BFF and she is quite spicy and does not back down especially when she meets Bridger and their banter back and forth was entertaining to say! Both Tia and Bridger have some things from that past that try to haunt them when old news tries to come out and tear them apart. Enemies to Lovers to Frenemies kept the story flowing and I loved every moment.

This is the first book that I have read from this author, and I was not disappointed. I fell in love with this book almost immediately and wasn’t able to stop reading this book until i finished it in one sitting. This is Book 1 in the Wounded Hearts Series. While it can be read as a standalone, your experience will be better if you read this book first. I hope you enjoy this soul mates, strong female friendship, wounded, broken. A Mediterranean hero contemporary romance story. He offered her a deal… A deal she shouldn’t have taken. Now that she’s in, how does she get out? Niccolo Mancini is the last person she expected to steam into her life. she’s a struggling romance author. Him, a scorching-hot, Italian, film star who’s just skyrocketed to fame. Their agreement has us spending a lot of time together, much of it under the same roof. As the terms of the deal play out, undeniable attraction ignites. Hearts entangle. What’s a girl to do? You’ll love this tantalizing, push-and-pull relationship because everyone yearns for the tumultuous journey that leads to a happily ever after. Someone Exactly Like Me is a slow burn, friends to lovers, forced proximity romance about an off-limits celebrity and the romance author who unexpectedly steals his heart. I’m excited to see how this author continues this series. I’ll be looking forward in the future for more books to read from this author.

This was a really good book! It was fast paced and short, which made it a quick read and was full of hope, insight and perseverance. Check triggers for this one, as it does contain some domestic violence and assault. I really enjoyed this one (even though I’m not much a fan of mail order bride stories) and I would definitely read more in the future. This was a really written book as well! I felt like I was right there with the characters in that time period, right before the 1900s.

Am I ever glad that I thought to pick this set up! I had read a couple of novels by this author before this set, and thought, how could I possibly let this one slide through my fingers. So many deliciously strong, masculine alpha men and women within these pages, and so little time. I spent the duration of my sick week immersed within these pages, and I couldn’t tell if it was the cold that had my body warming up, or the incredibly written adventures, but by my drool soaked pillow, I think you can guess!
I was hoping that I would have one specific installment within this box set to focus on, to tell you it’s my favorite, but as per what I’ve come to expect from this author, they only keep getting better and better, though I certainly have a soft spot for the Aleksei, and Deva! Do yourself a favor, and carve out some time for these novels, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend all literature by her!

This is a YA novel by an amazing author. I have read her other books and I enjoy them. This was no different. The storyline is intriguing and will lock you in its grip until you read the very last word. While I believe this story is more relevant to teens and very young adults I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of her books. The details in all the twists and turns, secrets and lies, and even the romance made this a great read!!

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Second Alpha Heir is an amazing read. It will have you crying at the end. Have tissues ready because you will need them.
Nolen is the second born son of the Alpha of his pack. He’s not tall and strong like his brother is and he sure isn’t as popular. When his brother dies he is the one who is next in line for the Alpha. He does meet his mate, but can’t tell her as she isn’t of age. The quote I chose for Nolen is: “You are one amazing person. I could never forget coming to your pack; my life changed so much when I lived there.”
Amora is the daughter of another Alpha and she’s part of the pack that trains Nolen. She has a crush on him and is hurt to know that when he becomes of age he’ll find his mate. When she learns that he’s met his mate she is shocked. The quote I chose for Amora is: “Let’s head down then. The pack is waiting for us.”
Highly recommended for Werewolf Paranormal lovers.

Honestly, not sure where this book has been my whole life but I couldn’t be happier its here now. AMAZING doesn’t even cover this book. What a thrilling spicy ride! It was one of those books where you ask yourself, “So where do I watch for the tv/movie announcement of this?”. It was so dang good I could not put it down! The plot is a nail biter with such a great balance and the characters were so well thought out! This author knows what they’re doing!!! Get it, love it, thank me later!!

Kramer – Review by April McCoy
OMG! This book had me in my feelings more than I expected. The story was original with aspects of true blue werewolf culture. I loved the characters. I was drawn towards Nolen, not only because of his heart, but for the ideals he expressed when not feeling like he is good enough. Anyone that has ever felt that way can relate to Nolen. The love and respect Nolen feels for Amora is spectacular. There are so many good things about the way he loves her. I didn’t want this book to end. I wanted it to be left open for a series. My heart was shredded at the end.
If you are a fan of werewolf romance, this one is for you!!

Levi: A clean and wholesome wounded hero cowboy romance (The Brothers of Creekside Ranch #1) by Edith MacKenzie
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Levi is the first book in The Brothers of Creekside Ranch. Levi is a fantastic read and will leave you wanting more.
Bella, or Beccy the nanny, is sent to live with Levi and his siblings for protection. Although Amos and Elijah have no idea who she really is. She falls for Levi only for it to turn bad. Her ex finds her and takes Allie. The quote I chose for Bella is: “There are a few blanks I’m going to need you to fill me in on. Is Allie safe? Thank God. It doesn’t matter what I can remember or not, there’s one thing I’m certain about. I love you, Levi. My stubborn, ornery, pig-headed loyal protector even when I don’t want it.”
Levi hates that he had to bury his dad and step mom. He doesn’t like that his sister now has no patents. Then he hates how Bella makes him feel. That’s until she goes to rescue his sister on her own, putting herself in danger. The quote I chose for Levi is: “Giving me permission to marry Bella. I still would have married her without it, but it’s nicer for everyone this way.”
Highly recommended for Clean Western Romance lovers

Another wonderful addition to the ‘Mermaid Science’ series from the author! The story is sweet and has a trust that is illuminated through friendships. The science incorporated through the narration led to another experiment with my niece who loves these stories. We were able to have a great discussion about magnification and fossils because of this book. I will always recommend books from this author and this instalment is no exception- a great read for children!

Scepter of Flint (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 3) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Maryn Belling
Welcome to the Great Jubilee. N.L. Holmes reminds us why we enjoy her books even in her historical notes. Who else can be poignant about both history and contemporary goings-on in such a subtly piquant way?
Lord Hani is – in his ruminations – as astute as ever about the machinations of the ruling class. As he navigates family and society, we are free to observe metaphors that transcend time & space. While the easy familial patterns of younger children at home are now enjoyed by the next generation, Hani and his family navigate the ebb and flow of customs and culture in nuanced ways. It’s a comfort to readers to each have a youth in the family to relate to as they’ve grown in years and skills across the books.
Usually when we visit ancient Egypt – whether in text or film – we’re several layers removed. Because our author is so clear about where her characters are drawn entirely from imaginings, entirely from documented history, selected from particular scholarly perspectives, and where they’re a blend of the 3 sources, we feel a part of the story. History, archaeology, sociology, and political science come to life with increasing depth in each story.

Levi was a sweet/hard different type of romance than I’m used to. A band of male identical triplets, which gives me at least 2 more books to look forward to. This is Levi’s wild ride. Well written with beautiful character growth especially for the main female character was exponential. In witness protection to be hidden from her Russian Mafia ex-boyfriend, Bella finds herself a nanny to a recently orphaned girl. Though she’s not Bella to them but Beccy instead. The only one who knows her real identity is Levi. Bella does everything she can to fit and blend in but housework and cooking was never something she ever did before. Levi, ex-Navy seal, has been tasked to keep Bella safe. He uses it to his advantage by suggesting she be a nanny to his baby sister. Levi is deeply wounded from his time in the military, so if you suffer from ptsd go into this novel and tread lightly. I know people personally who could sympathize with Levi as they’ve battled that monster as well. Helping each other along the way Bella and Levi end up growing closer to one another, developing a connection that grows throughout. Bella is posh and Levi is hard nosed and hands on, what would these two ever have in common? Is it a story of safety? Or is it about opposites attracting? Do their feelings get in the way? If only their lives were easier, maybe they could explore the chemistry between them. Maybe there is just lots to look forward to, not only in Levi’s story but in the future books starring Amos and Elijah.

A great debut novel! Nolan is the second son to the alpha and when his brother is attacked and killed we get to experience his growth from a runt to a true alpha. The slow burn romance is always a favorite of mine and this one did not disappoint! The time jumps in this book did throw me off at first, but I was quickly able to figure it out! Overall, I did enjoy this book and it was a quick, easy read!
