The Crocodile Makes no Sound (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 2) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Maryn Belling

“I suspect it is a sort of innocence that believes murder solves anything. As if the Judge of the Soul doesn’t see.” Lord Hani’s wisdom, while situated nearly 3400 years ago, would be just as easily found in contemporary social inquiries such as The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb or A Book of American Martyrs by Joyce Carol Oates.

Despite being out of active service, sidelined by the inability to enforce foreign policy he neither understands nor respects, Hani remains a servant of truth. N.L. Holmes’ gift for piquant turns-of-phrase and well-imagined schemes of the “chattering class” bring history to life.

Beyond the story’s historical setting, contemporary readers will recognize some of the familial and societal challenges experienced in our own time. Are we as adept & diplomatic as Lord Hani?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dayum!! Bridger is what I need in my life. A HAWT hockey player that is protective and alpha but playful. Bridger might have had some privileges growing up but that did not make his life easy. His father calls with helpful advice such as, “Play better,” after each game. Bridger has lived the pro-athlete lifestyle to a tee and now he is suffering the consequences.

Tia has been burned by the likes of Bridger before and is not interested. Except, there is like this crazy attraction that can’t be denied between Tia and Bridger. Like when you are close to them in a room you can feel and see the sparks. Tia convinces Bridger that they can be just friends after a no strings weekend. Bridger is willing to take anything he can get to be close to Tia. When Tia’s past threatens not only the budding relationship but Bridger’s standing on the team, Bridger finds out what it is like to have the support of a family to help protect Tia.

I will be a Thunder fan forever!! I may not have the tattoo like Bridger, but I am willing to get season tickets!! I love how even though each story is its own, they have concurrent timelines. The author does an amazing job at continuing the story while telling an entirely new one!! Love this series!!! Love this book!! Keep the hot hockey hunks coming!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caring for Kingsley is a heartfelt novel that left me feeling a range of emotions throughout reading it. From the joys that come with playing with a new puppy and showing them your world, to the heartbreak that accompanies a life-threatening illness, Allie detailed her emotional journey that came with being Kingsley’s mom. She shared many vivid details of life with her adorable fur baby. This book would be helpful for anyone who is struggling with a pet illness. I found the logical progression of Kingsley’s story easy to follow. I will definitely be reading this author’s future works.

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail Order Bride by Debra Parmley – Review by Kerry Baker

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is quite a quick, sweet romance about Isabella and her journey. So much has happened to her that you find yourself wanting her to get a happen ending. I found myself really connecting to her as a character but not so much to Mr Jenks. I didn’t like how he came across. I would have also loved to know more about the stranger on the train as he definitely intrigued me.
This is an overall enjoyable book that was a great way to pass the time.

Isabella Bride is a story of 19th Century and filled with historical events. The plot and character within this series works well. Isabella thinks its her happy ever after with Donald but not all as if it seems. This is not your typical mail order romance.Such a twist I didn’t see coming.

Twilight’s Spy (Twilight Realm Trilogy Book 1.5) by K.M. Wray – Review by Kerry Carr

Twilight's SpyTwilight’s Spy by K.M. Wray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 1.5 in The Twilight Realm Trilogy. This is a young adult story however it was thrilling enough to keep me entertained and captivated. The author’s world building is amazing and our main character I loved. She is so fiesty and determined that nothing will stop her from completing her assignment.
Yarissa didn’t want to be a spy. She was completing her training and wanted to join the Elites to protect her Realm. However fate and the king had other plans for her.

Now she finds herself sent on a mission to find the whereabouts of the missing princess. She starts her journey with 3 other people but ends up on her own. Now she needs to find a way to complete this assignment on her own.
However things don’t go sailing and when she finds herself captured she needs to use all her skills as a fighter and a spy to save herself.

This story is full of magic and adventure. It’s a story about learning to trust and also trusting yourself and your own ability. I can’t wait to see how the story progresses

Notebook Mysteries ~ Emma (Notebook Mysteries Book 1) Audio Book by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Kerry Baker

This is such a great story and it is one that reat comes to life via the audio book. I really think Emma’s personality shines through and it feels like you are seeing everything through her eyes. I kept loving track of the time when I was listening to this book and I had listened to it all before I knew I was near the end. It was a great.bpok to read but and even better one to experience.

To be a Fae Guardian (Realm Chronicles Book 2) Audio Book by Tricia Copeland – Review by Taylor K Stephenson

~Journey to Middle Earth with a Fae Queen~

This is my second time through this book. I read the kindle versions first, but when I saw the audible come out I knew I had to try it out. Titania is such a force to be reckoned with. The story is strongly gripping, and I can easily see that Titania and her entourage have done some major development in their adventures so far. 

 

I had a hard time listening through the audible, but I gave it 5 stars because it’s probably personal preference. I found the audio to be monotone, a little difficult to hear the words and not just the lyrical cadence of the narrator. It’s possible that reading through it myself the first read through, I was picturing the inflection going a little differently for Titania. Overall though a very thorough performance on this fantasy journey. 

 

Titania goes through so much, is so level headed, and well rounded. Truly a hero! If you are questioning picking up this series, you won’t be disappointed. Fae, Middle Earth, strong companionship, difficult choices, a kingdom in need of justice only a young heroine can redeem!!! What more could you ask for in a fantastical journey to Middle Earth?

The Second Alpha Heir: C.L. Ledford

In The Second Alpha Heir, tragedy strikes the Rhyolite Werewolf Pack, forcing second born Nolan to step up as Alpha of the pack. Nolan finds his true self, which turns out to be entirely opposite of what he was made to believe by other pack members. From making friends, to finding love, to loss, Nolan takes the reader through his life, from being the underdog to the Alpha.
The characters and feelings of The Second Alpha Heir are highly relatable. The main characters go through the confusion of finding who they truly are, finding love, losing love, and happiness. The reader can feel along with the characters. I laughed, cried, and worried along with them. I was a little skeptical at first, but The Second Alpha Heir by far exceeded my expectations. There was not a single moment I did not like.
For fantasy and werewolf lovers, The Second Alpha Heir hits all the spots. The book is full of twists and turns and is highly relatable.

Very cute children’s story! I love the aspect of Trezzie as the imaginary friend that not every character can see. I also love how Lois Wickstrom weaves the scientific aspect into her story while still keeping it interesting for kids. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching as well. Definitely a great addition to the series!

I love a good werewolf romance but they can get repetitive. Prepare for divergence with this one!!

Nolan the “spare” alpha heir has been bullied his entire life but his entire life changes when Archer his brother is killed and he becomes the next Alpha. He goes away to a neighboring pack to train to become and alpha and for the first time in his life finds friends and excels but still doesn’t believe his pack will accept him as Alpha when he returns.

Without giving away major story lines this book is full of turmoil personal growth slow burn romance action and has a lot of heart. The ending left me in tears… albeit happy tears

Nicely done book!

The Last Lie Told (Finley O’Sullivan Series Book 1) by Debra Webb – Review by Colleen Noyes

The Last Lie Told (Finley O’Sullivan #1)The Last Lie Told by Debra Webb
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy YES PLEASE! I got this book early as part of the Kindle first program. It is set in Nashville, Tennessee one of my favorite places. Right from the beginning you can sense the mystery, suspense, and secrets. This book had me hooked from page one and never let go. The character of Finley is a very complex character that I appreciate tremendously. There are so many facets to her you’re not sure what is what or who she really is until you dive deeper into the story.

This story has many layers of suspense not just on the case Finley and Jack are working, but with Finley, her past, and her husband. The intrigue as you turn each page grows and you find yourself on the edge of your seat unable to stop turning pages.

The last chapter of this book was so amazing with more twists and turns than you ever saw coming. I cannot wait to see what happens or what is discovered regarding Finley and Derrick. This was my first book by Debra Webb and now I must go buy more!

Falling in love with a pop starlet has its drawbacks

Lack of privacy, for one

Gossip, for another

But falling in love with Kiki Ramirez was the best thing I’ve ever done

And the stupidest

One story planted by her agent and now I look like a fool

Played by the starlet

Looking like a simp for the world to see

But none of its true and I can’t defend my woman how I want

The urge to fight for her, to defend her is too strong

Even against the Hollywood machine working hard to keep us apart

 

Falling in love with a civilian wasn’t part of the plan

I didn’t believe in love

Not for me and not for my life

But a small town mayor was the man who’d torn down my walls

Snuck past my defenses

And now with our future hanging in the balance its up to me to find a way to make it all work

A crazy agent

A ravenous paparazzi

And a pregnant belly I’m powerless to hide

I want Eric and the life I see for us

But how can I invite this madness into his quiet, small town life?

When Elle is presented with every orphan’s dream, finding out she’s actually a princess, she isn’t sure if she should join the hulking sexy man, Locan, on a spaceship ride, or run screaming from the room because he’s obviously nuts. If it weren’t for the strange things she’d recently encountered, like suddenly gaining star shaped birthmarks and a bracelet that once belonged to her mother lighting up with an eerie green light, she would be out of there already. She has enough questions she wants answered to stay and find out, taking his hand and embarking on a journey across the darkness of space. He says she needs to save their people from her evil uncle. She wants to know where she comes from, who her mother was, and why she never fit in on earth. The path to their home planet isn’t without its bumps. Saving aliens, and earthlings while evading her uncle’s men and dodging the pushy goddesses who want to tell them all what to do. Elle has to learn who she really wants to be and to help Locan become the warrior he was meant to be. 

Can she be what the rebels need? Can Locan trust the beast that lives inside of him? Will the people of Prias once again have a princess on the throne to rule their utopian society?

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls Book 2) by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Crystal Jimmo

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls #2)Blood & Vengeance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be honest I was a little sad that this wasn’t centered around Geer and Theron, but it was nice to see it from Desiree’s perspective and how she felt with all of the events that happened. In walks Jaxon who turns her world upside down. The two bicker and fight like siblings it was a breath of fresh air. Poor Theron has his hands full with Desiree, and the situations she gets into is funny and scary at the same time. The brief view we see from Geer made my heart hurt and want more information, but I know she will be okay. With witches, vampires and demons oh my! Throw in a little romance and you have a wonderful story. It was written wonderfully with no hiccups. I can’t wait to see what book 3 brings, and I hope i get some answers!

I read this story in one sitting! I took an immediate liking to all the characters and their differences. They’re no stranger to tragedy and rough situations, but are a close knit family and the new nanny Beccy fits right in. This definitely was a wholesome cowboy romance and I can’t wait to visit these characters again in future installments of this series.

I look forward to reading more of Edith’s books! I can tell she is very knowledgeable about horses and writes a story you could make into a movie. It was an entertaining read and I can’t wait to read more. Thrilling and romantic! A great combo.

Totally Brilliant!! I loved this book from beginning to end full of action, love, werewolves, fated mates and moments that left me speechless. The story of what fate has in store when you are only the second son of an Alpha….Nolen was just that. Nolen was small and not as strong as his older brother Archer. When fate had other plans…Nolen is trained to become the new Alpha of the Rhyolite Pack and is determined to make his family and late brother proud. There are definite obstacles that try and hinder Nolen from becoming a successful Alpha….I was rooting for Nolen all the way from the training to his friendship with Sawyer and finding his mate.

This book was totally fantastic and highly recommended…I look forward to more books from this author!!

To be a Fae Guardian (Realm Chronicles Book 2) Audio Book by Tricia Copeland – Review by Shelly Kittell

This story is so packed full of action, adventure, suspense, and intrigue. Titania is one of my favorite fantasy characters. She is badass and strong by putting her kingdom and people before everything else. She really isn’t afraid to break laws to protect people. This is book 2 of the series and continues Titania’s adventures of dealing with consequences of trying to protect the kingdom. Now one person is facing those consequences. Can she save him and her kingdom? She has so much pressure all around her and secrets to hide. The author does a great job in writing her and developing the plot around her struggles. It’s been a delight to listen this story. I’ve enjoyed going through and hearing Titania battle through and get what she needs. I have read this story but to listen to it on audio gives it a whole new level of comprehension because you can picture it, listen and basically create your own picture in your mind. It’s another level of imagination. The narrator did a great job of changing the voices around and giving excitement to the story. She kept the story going. I really enjoyed the story. Everything came together and made it all work.

Levi (The Brothers of Creekside Ranch Book 1) by Edith Mackenzie – Review by Jennifer Gordon

LeviLevi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable and engaging western style, clean romance, which kept me happily turning the pages. Bella Orstwell, is an English aristocrat who helped get her abusive Russian mafia boyfriend arrested, but is now in hiding whilst awaiting the trial. Bella has to pretend to be both the housekeeper to the Delaney Brothers and a nanny to their younger sister. Although all three of the brothers are attractive, it’s cowboy, Levi that catches her eye, however, it’s also ex-Navy SEAL Levi who is in charge of protecting her. Levi is busy enough helping his brothers run the ranch and raising his little sister, without having to take on a ‘babysitting gig’.
He definitely wasn’t expecting Bella who is both annoying and lovely at the same time, and all he can think about is kissing her, when he’s not ordering her around, for her safety. Meanwhile, Bella is determined not to follow all of Levi’s many orders, but although she has sworn off men, there is something about wounded hero Levi which makes her want to heal him. Soon the couple have more dangerous things to deal with as any HEA can only happen if Levi can keep Bella alive when her past comes looking for her. The main characters are all likeable and relatable, and the chemistry between Levi and Bella came across in the narrative and in their banter. I was hooked from start to finish and I felt immersed in the storyline, which was a good mix of, drama, suspense and romance.

A terribly young queen with insight far beyond her tender age of 16 years old saves a realm and then is condemned for it.
She struggles knowing her instincts are right, but a council consisting of a different generation of fae can’t see things the way she does.
She perseveres despite some heart lurching goodbyes and she learns not to trust so quickly, except in her own decisions.
She makes one hard decision after another but continues above all else to put the realm and her kingdom before herself. Will she regain trust in herself? Can she erase self doubt? Can she protect a realm that doesnt seem to want her protection? Can she mend her tender young broken heart?
This series is addictive and is a can’t miss for Fae lovers. The narration adds so much to this story with inflection and personality to the characters as well.
