My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy reading this author’s books and they never let me down. This is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a well written story that will show you what happens when you mess with a woman’s family. A story where a woman is the hero and one you don’t want to mess with. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story from the start by the author’s use of details. The author’s writing style brings life to the story as well as the great characters. I enjoyed watching the growth of the characters as well as the plot as it made it an easy story to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. Once you start you don’t want it to stop. You don’t want to miss this must read story for sure. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series as well. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4)Forbidden Blood by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sooo happy to see this book come out! I love the world this author has created and missed these wonderful characters. It is full of danger, suspense and paranormals. The first half was a little slow for me. I liked the insight into the male lead but got bored. The second half is all fire and brimstone and action filled and I could not read it fast enough!

I got to see some new characters and hang out with old friends. Dominic is stll a treat to watch and when he hangs with the gang he becomes feisty, crazy and curious. His dialogue made me laugh so many times but he also shows his serious old soul a time or two. I really saw Kimber grow in here. She went from a whiney loner to a strong woman. I could really *feel* it near the end just rolling off the letters.

Overall a great addition to the series! I loved so much about this one. One of my favorite scenes involved his house. Its alive! It shifts, rejects or welcomes people. I liked it a lot. I can’t wait for more as I am hoping more elemental sorceress will be found (hopefully for Dominic haha).

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is still a newer author for me which I enjoy reading and look forward to seeing what is next. I found this book to be well written and has twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the end. I enjoyed how the author used details to pull you into the story from the start. The characters made the story realistic and I had no problems picturing myself right along with them. They are strong, connectable characters where the female is not only the hero but also has her own demons to deal with. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story which made it easy to read. It is fast paced, engaging and hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

Guarding the Crease (The Playmakers #9)Guarding the Crease by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wyatt Tompkins is in a slump, using his status as a NHL Goalie just a little too much so when his antics are no longer fun and hindering his career he spirals into a slump. With no team anymore and not knowing what he can do to bring him back into the NHL he decides to go out and have a drink with his cousin, Noah. That night changes his life forever.

Serena Lambert has her career on the incline, PR Director of one of the top NHL teams wanting her savvy skills to take her higher until one night she is thrown into the path of the most infamous hockey player she has ever met but as she gets to know him, he starts to work his way into her heart.

When Wyatt asks Serena to help him improve his image, she is reluctant at first but over time the chemistry and attraction is too much to ignore but when two personalities are that different can they find the line in the sand to be together.

I loved this story and another great addition to the series, although this is part of the series you can easily read this as a standalone book.

I must admit when you first meet Wyatt you do think what a complete waste of space, he has caused this on himself and he needs to grow up, but as they story moves along you understand and get to see the real person inside and grow to love him, I know but you do. Serena is a brilliant sassy, independent strong woman, who takes no nonsense from him and calls him on his behaviour which is brilliant to read.

The story was well written, and the main characters really drive the story along which enhanced the reading experience and I was frantically diving in to finish and see what happens in the end. I can’t wait to read more in this series and by this author.

Kiera O’Ryan is smart, successful and is good at her job, but there is one thing that has her searching the dark corners and causing her to question her sanity she has a stalker. Although she has requested help from the Montana Police they can’t seem to find or locate who the person is. They always feel one step ahead, until she recruits her neighbour to help.

Cade Hartford is ex-forces and working for a Private Military contractor but when his neighbour comes to him to help with her stalker problem, he jumps straight in to help, the only problem is this stalker is always ahead of them and it feels very much like a game of cat and mouse.

Can Cade help Kiera find the culprit and recuse Kiera?

This is the first book I have read from this author and will not be the last, the twists and turns in this book have you at the edge of your seat with anticipation.

The story is well written, and the main characters are well balanced and suit each other brilliantly, the chemistry between them jumps off the page and adds to the flow of the story as the drama builds. The character of Cade is a great alpha male and as I say I love a flawed character and he has his hang-ups along the way, although with the strong female character of Kiera and her strong will and sassy nature this makes a brilliant combination.

As this book can be read as a standalone, I can’t wait for the next book in this series and I believe Mavery Ellscott has just become another author in my very long TBR list.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Shadowed Obsession is the first book in the Shadow Defense Security series and debut novel by Mavery Ellscott. It is an engrossing romantic suspense with a dangerous and obsessed stalker, a deadly game of cat and mouse, sinister intent, slow-burn romance, thrills, action, tension, intrigue, suspense, chemistry, humour, creepiness, and more.
Keira O’Ryan is a hardworking P.R. specialist whose life has taken a bit of a sinister turn when an obsessed stalker begins following her every move, sending creepy messages that destroy her peace of mind. Cade Hartford is a former Navy SEAL turned private security operative who is recovering from an injury sustained during a previous mission gone wrong. He has just moved in next door to Keira and can’t help but be drawn into her stalker ordeal. When the stalking takes an even more dangerous turn, Cade and his team are determined to uncover the stalker before it’s too late. But this sinister foe seems to always be one step ahead of them- so the story takes a bit of an intense turn, bringing plenty of thrills along the way….
While I did enjoy the story, there were some issues that kept pulling me out of the story and interrupting the flow of the storyline. There was quite a lot of repeated information, thoughts/inner dialogue- as well as a lot of contradictions/conflicting information and details that I felt detracted from the otherwise stellar story. It has left me with mixed feelings as to what rating I should give this book because if there were not so many little issues, this would definitely be a five-star read for me… but as things stand the issues have detracted from my overall enjoyment of the story, so I feel that I can’t justify awarding it more than 3.5 stars, as things stand. I feel that these issues should have been caught in the beta reading stage, but definitely should have been picked up during the editing process. I feel for the author because these things should have been noted/corrected, which would make her book not only a superb story, but a professionally polished piece of work too. But, looking at the other reviews, I seem to be the only one who has noticed or feels this way, so maybe you should read the book for yourself and make up your own mind.
I will be following this series and look forward to seeing what happens in Book #2.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Mavery Ellscott!

Murder in a Gated CommunityMurder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Murder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber is a fun cozy mystery set in a retirement community. This is something a little different from Ms. Koerber, but I enjoyed following along on this entertaining read.
This is a short story, so it makes for a very quick and easy read. I easily read it during my lunch break.
I enjoyed Ms. Koerber’s dark humour which added an extra element of interest to the overall story. The idea of this gated community and the neighborhood ‘politics’, a cast of quirky characters, drama, friendships, and all their dynamics made this a really fun read.
I did feel that there were a few loose threads at the end that I would have liked to have seen ‘tied’ up- but perhaps Ms. Koerber is leaving things a bit ‘open’ to allow for more stories set in this retirement community. I will have to wait and see…
Anyway, Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laura Koerber!

High school senior Claire Jackson’s life shatters after an unplanned pregnancy.

Not hers, her mother’s.

With no father named on baby Harry’s birth certificate and their mother sinking into despair, Claire finds herself knee deep in diapers, streams of baby barf, and mountains of laundry. Not only does Harry rob Claire of her freedom, but also her future when her mother uses her college funds for day care.

Claire’s uncle offers to replenish the funds on the condition Harry is given up for adoption. With a troubled and unstable mother, Claire must take control and choose: trade Harry for money and return to her former life, or fight for him.

The stakes run high when a baby is involved, and the choices are complicated.

         Wayne King, Gabby’s father, the influential oil baron, and cattle rancher, encourages his daughter to accept his plan to get her and Wright into the governor’s mansion. However, Richard’s campaign manager, Amanda Jason, wants Wright and the title of Texas’s first lady and will stop at nothing to take Gabby’s place.  

         The campaign trail invites Gabby to the adventurous world of Formula One Racing, where a team engineer speaks a surprising truth that unsettles her world. Caught in a whirlwind of making dreams come true for others, Gabby needs wisdom to hear her inner voice before it’s too late.

The Book of Hours (Coin/Hours Duology Book 2) Audiobook by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

/0 Comments/in /by

Gabriela Martinez is a well known author that is about to put her book up for auction. People are willing to do anything to get their hand on her book. At least one person is willing to take her life. There are plenty of twists to keep you listening, or turning the pages if you are reading the book. A few times I felt like I was getting lost when things from the previous book were referenced, but I was able to piece things together without any issues. This was the first book I have ever picked up by this author. I will be going to read book one and I will definitely be checking out her other works.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Silent Woodsman is the first book in The Olympic Peninsula series by Cat Treadgold. This appears to be Ms. Treadgold’s debut novel, so I will be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future.
This is a sweet contemporary romance with a secret identity element, grief, loss, a wilderness rainforest, a might storm, a cozy cabin in the woods, chemistry, connection, and two truly unforgettable days.
Ms. Treadgold has crafted a touching story woven with plenty of emotion and enough angst and drama to keep things interesting. I did feel that the story was a little slow to get going and while the pace did pick up a bit it still tended to lag a bit in places, but then the ‘ending’ seemed to be rushed. I put this down to being a debut novel and it didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.
I am interested in seeing what the author has in store for us in ‘The Guardsman” (Book #2)- which is Ali’s twin brother Liam’s story.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cat Treadgold!

4.5 Stars

 

Oathbreakers Anonymous by Scott Warren is a zany, madcap romp that had me hooked right from the beginning. It felt like a bit of a Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams epic fantasy adventure with a D & D flavour.
This highly humorous and unique story highlights Mr. Warren’s superb storytelling abilities, as he deftly weaves a fantastical action-packed adventure that takes us on a quest for redemption with a motley crew of quirky characters. What happens makes for a very entertaining read that left me wanting more of this world (and characters), in the best possible way. I hope Mr. Warren has plans for more works set in this ‘world’. Looking forward to more from this talented author!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Scott Warren!

This is an absolutely suspenseful romance that is 100% worth the read! I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. The beginning is a little bit slow, but the overall flow of the story is still magnificent. Don’t let the slow start fool you as it will have you turning pages as quickly as you can shortly after. The love story of Gabriela and Richard is intense, passionate, and full of surprises! I don’t want to give an inkling of anything away (you’ll thank me later) therefore I will just give a strong recommendation to give this book a chance so you can fall in love with it too!

Murder in a Gated CommunityMurder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imagine a community that is for retired folks who are still completely independent that is surrounded by lush green grass, a garden, and lots of nosy neighbors! Sounds like Hometown, USA these days!!

This story focuses on people who live within the Oaken Acres community who are all fractured in some sort of way. You have a widow who plots to kill someone just because she doesn’t like them, a lonely woman who hates the sound of the dog barking next door, the abused woman trying to escape the evil hands of her ex-husband…this book mostly features women.

I struggled a bit to get into this story because I thought it might be a bit more of a thriller. It’s really more of a laid back, sometimes snarky, sometimes funny story about this lovely community. All the things that happen within a HOA are covered here. The murder happened long ago and you learn more about it but I was hoping for a bit more with this book.

Overall, a good book to read. Many will be able to substitute names of those they know to make this story more interesting.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder in a Gated Community is an interesting novella for senior citizens in a gated community. This is a slice-of-life story of seniors and their day-to-day living in their community. The characters were interesting, albeit somewhat what you would expect in a senior community. You learn about all of the politics of a HOA and how some like to make life miserable for others. The different characters are familiar if you live in a closed community. Because of being familiar with the different types of personalities, there was a good bit of humor in the story to me. I found this story interesting and relatable. The writing was solid, and I like that they kept the story from getting overly long. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Laura Koerber surprises her readers by having a varied genre of telling a story. Murder in a Gated Community is different again and certainly a surprise.
Imagine a group of old people in a gated community with no filter. Not the norm for stories, no but it does lend for some humour and wit. The old adage about being old but not dead rings true for most of the inhabitants of Oaken Acres in this entertaining story.
The plot is intriguing and definitely unexpected but fun and had me laughing out loud at times. With furry friends, secrets, lies, garden politics, challenges, longing, friendships. It is a story with a deeper meaning of looking at your past and adjusting to where you are now.
This heart-warming tale is full of a colourful cast of characters each having their own heartaches, issues, grumps, gripes and whinging.
Unfortunately, the ending felt like there was a lot left unresolved and ended abruptly. Whether or not that leaves it open for more I don’t know but I felt a little lost. Having said that I did enjoy the story.
If you enjoy murder mysteries, you will enjoy Murder in a Gated Community.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW what a tale!
Shadowed Obsession is the first gripping book in the Shadow Defense Security series. I love a good suspense thriller and Mavery Ellscott’s debut book is just that. This is an author to watch.
The story is fast-paced, and the tension starts from the outset and doesn’t let up. I found myself on the edge of my set more often than not. I was also checking out my surroundings and being hypervigilant and that was just in my lounge room.
This romantic suspense thriller is high on danger, with characters who are well developed and interesting and plot lines that are gritty but feel believable. It is as captivating as it is disturbing and is highly entertaining. It is a riveting tale is full of suspense, action, intrigue, suspicions, attraction and humour.
Shadowed Obsession has a great plot and is well written drama.
With a stalker with sinister intent on the prowl her safety is paramount. The twisty turns keep you turning the pages.
When the normal channels can’t help Keira enlists the help of her sexy neighbour Cade and the Shadow Defense Security.
It is an absolute must read you won’t be disappointed. I am patiently awaiting more now.

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1)The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Silent Woodsman is book 1 of the new Olympic Peninsula series which is set in the 1990’s. It was an interesting and heartfelt tale will have you falling in love with our MC’s as they navigate their feelings.
A storm brought them together, but their worlds keep them apart.
Cat’s vivid narrative definitely bring this story to life. There are many small storylines and an interesting supporting cast of many, but the overarching story is about JJ a country music superstar and Ali a down on her luck kind of gal.
She believes that her twin is still alive and refuses to believe otherwise. He struggles with his world, surgery and relationship with his music partner. She is too good to be taken down by his world and she has no idea who he is. With one song he hopes to find what is missing and she dreams of a man and two days in the woods.
With pressures, fame, jealousy, frustrations, hopelessness, hope, passion and sparks the story has a little of everything for romance lovers.
The Silent Woodsman is a well-written fun romance tale, but you will have to read the book to have all your questions answered.
With surprising plot developments and some emotional twists, A Silent Woodsman, should be a must on your reading list.
Whilst I really enjoyed the story there were times where the pace seemed a little slow and towards the end it felt a little rushed. But I cannot wait to see what Cat brings to the second book in the series.

Oathbreakers AnonymousOathbreakers Anonymous by Scott Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
“When the Divine needs an intervention” When I read this, I knew it would be good. This wry sense of humour is right up my alley.
Oathbreakers Anonymous by Scott Warren is a very funny adventure fantasy tale like no other that is wonderfully twisted, original and unique.
This well-crafted tale will have you laughing out loud at the wit and antics of the fallen paladins and the woeful Oathbreakers Guild who need to leave the ale to set out on a journey to redeem themselves to the gods.
With unexpected twists, intrigue, action and humour it will delight those who like a well-crafted quirky tale.
The wonderful and strangely endearing characters are well thought out and well written that you can’t help but love them all.
I hope there is more of these characters to come.
I look forward to more from Scott Warren!
