I’m a sucker for a good sports romance, and this author didn’t let me down. Walk Off was everything I expected and then some.? The beginning of a new series that leaves the reader wanting more. Celia and Kyle have been through the ups and downs of heartbreak. What happens when 8 years pass and all those feelings come rushing back? The way the author navigated the narrative of the story is beautiful. Are there ups and downs? Sure. Is there character growth? Absolutely. It also makes me feel. I can relate to why Celia made the decision she did, I’ve been there. So another thing this author did was get me to reflect on what I read as well as my own life. In ways I never expected going into this book. I can’t wait for the next books in this series. Time to go look them up and some other books by this author. An author who’s working their way on my favorites list.
Yet ANOTHER fantastic book written by one of my favorite contemporary authors. As always, HEA guaranteed with the second half of the Duet for the series, but the way Damon just kept showing up for Sky made my whole heart melt. I’m so in love with these two, and honestly I think I like them better than I like Riley and Cole. Start with the Savage Duet, then work your way through the Brutal Duet yall, and give this series a go! You won’t regret it!

I loved Sacrifice Bunt so much! Zara is such a strong and sassy main character which made me fall hard for her pretty much immediately. She isn’t reserved and knows exactly what she wants. Or does she? Noah ruffles her feathers from the very beginning, and I absolutely love their energy together. I enjoy the spice and humor throughout this story. Bree Kraemer knows just how to bring all of these characteristics into a marvelous read that you’ll struggle to put down (or in my case, shirk all responsibilities until you finish). I’m excited to read the third book already, so pick up the first two so you don’t miss out!
Another great one! Though the second in a series, this can be read as a standalone and date I say I enjoyed it more than the first. The author composes a page-turning read following Zara and Noah. I love a good sports romance and this is no exception. Zara is a powerhouse character and I love her sauciness and interactions with Noah. The author does an excellent job creating well-rounded, likable characters, ask well as tension and relationship. I love a hate to love type storyline and this author delivers it to the next level. I love the first one, now the second, can’t wait to start the third!

This was a clever tale! I love dark paranormal romances as a genre but I Iove it even more when they blend myths into the package! This book begins with a glossary that in and of itself was daunting. So many cultures! However, as you read, this author spins a tale over years and years, but manages to keep it interesting! The female protagonist is clever and strong. The male protagonist has actual depth, not just a hunk with a dark side. Definitely worth the read!

I have come to love every single book I’ve read by this author, and the Hidden Valley Elite series has become one that I follow very closely! I’m a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers romance so this was a perfect read for me. I enjoy how the author seamlessly ties in the characters from previous books and makes you feel all of the angsty emotions. Reading this has me primed to learn more about Aspen and Phoenix’s story, so I am keeping an eye on the release date! If you love a bully, enemies-to-lovers, adrenaline pumping, emotional rollercoaster, then this one is for you. I highly recommend picking up the series from the beginning to soak in all of the chemistry and background for each character!
Mystery. Oh, where to begin. This is the first book I have read but the incredible Caterina Novelliere, and I can’t wait to read more. The cover was honestly what pulled me in, but the mystery filled synopsis made me want to know more. Primarily told from Caitlin, and Evariste’s perspectives multiple other characters sides are used in a seamless flow that fully immerses the reader into the building mystery. Caitlin DeDanann lives in Williamsburg Virginia and works for a top firm. Her boss Sean Watchous took her in and raised her after her parents died for her grandmother, who is still in England. Evariste Arsceneaux is the CEO of Lagniappe Shipping and Ag based in New Orleans Louisiana. According to his sister Allister he once was a much different man than he is now, once taking life in strides now only throws himself into fishing and working nothing else. After a bad run in with some high-profile clients (Dante and Rayne) at her local coffee shop Caitlin is not impressed with the men hiring her firm to buy Arsceneaux’s Company. With her upcoming vacation to New Orleans her boss was able to bribe her into doing the onsite investigation for Dante and Rayne. Early on you discover the level of the mystery when Sean is surprised Caitlin doesn’t recognize Dante and Rayne, from her memories not the morning coffee shop incident. Dante even mentions he shifted the cup to save her white blouse. Allister and Alcee were shocked when seeing Caitlin, and Alcee says seeing her picture is the only reason he offered a tour of the company to get her there. Allister takes the next step, forcing a meeting between Evariste and Caitlin. Familiarity fills Caitlin when meeting him, a sense of comfort when near him. Evariste, he knows she is long gone how is it possible after three hundred years she has returned. Will Caitlin ever figure out the cause of her familiarity and comfort towards Evariste? Can Evariste escape the ghosts of his past determined to bury him? The characters the author creates, and the mystery that fills every chapter keeps you on your toes guessing what will happen next. While the world around them is primarily reality based the author brings a level of otherworldliness to the details. I admit I am very excited for the next installment in this new series to learn more about this world and the characters bringing it to life.

Sacrifice Bunt is another fun, sports themed, romance which is book 2 in the Ground Rule Series, where Zara and Noah are beginning to figure each other out once and for all. Noah a panic attack riddled, fire fighters son, who really enjoys playing baseball, and thinking about Zara. Zara, after experiencing the most embarrassing moment of her life and being left behind, naked, with only his shirt, after he saves her from a fire wants to avoid Noah at all costs. This was a sweet, romantic story, with real life elements that made it seem more realistic while discussing real mental health struggles. I really enjoyed reading Noah and Zara’s story and I look forward to continuing this series.

I may have developed a little crush on Zara while I was reading. She is what I wish I could be. Confident, successful and loves her job.
Oh where do I start with Noah? I mean he’s a baseball player and most of us can appreciate a hot guy in those wonderful pants.
Zara and Noah’s love/hate relationship was quite entertaining to read and it all went back to a chance and brief encounter several years earlier.
Bree Kraemer hasn’t let me down yet. I have read and obsessed over several of her books and is definitely on my list of authors to read any chance I get.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is a unique modern retelling of Eros and Psyche from Greek Mythology mixed in with some interesting characters and plot twists. Aria Skylar has an easy-to-read, flowing writing style that will draw you into the story and make you feel a part of it. The chemistry and growth between the main characters is definitely something to behold. The secondary characters are very well written as well. I truly enjoyed the banter between Kate and her sister, it reminded me of myself and my own sister. Can love develop and be accepted despite darker motives or intentions? Find out for yourself in this start of an intriguing new series.

The Sisterhood of Secrets is the intriguing fourth instalment in the Young Adult sci-fiish series The Gods’ Scion. I recommend reading this series in order, so you don’t get lost with what happened in the previous books. It is a blend of futuristic and modern in this unique world Winnifred has created. A different tale as she combines astrology, mythology, magic and much more. Her work is vividly descriptive where criminal organisations, a murderer, clairvoyants, archangels and the God of Life reside. Magical Realism and Urban Fiction meet in this interesting fast-moving story that is full of threats, action and drama, secrets and twists, lies and broken dreams and promises, betrayal and greed, hopes and dreams. I enjoyed the characters who are on a rough journey and have come to question what is right and wrong. world she has created. You will need to read this series to find out what happens.

The Finding is A.M. Porto’s debut novel and the first book in her Berrycreek Heights Series. This is a romantic YA thriller A.M. takes us to a dark and twisted world full of emotions. This gripping story is one of true love, obsession, and the desperate search for a missing love. We see abuse, violence and malice we are taken on a journey with unexpected twists into the depths of human immorality. Where things that nightmares are made of reside there is so much evil, pain, suffering, lies, heartbreak, hopelessness and depravity. Logan is determined to find her no matter how long it takes or what the cost. It is also a look at the emotional toll and effects on one’s psyche. The writing draws you in and it is hard to put down because you just want to know what is going to happen. I was on the end of my seat and the tension was palpable. I highly recommend reading this emotional thriller.

M. Porto – Review by Jenni Bishop,
I love C.R Robertson’s writing so I was jumping with joy when I saw this new book was out. Forbidden Blood is the fourth masterfully crafted book in the amazing original Shadow Chronicles by C.R. Robertson. Who doesn’t love a good story that is full of Lycans and Vampires. This series just keeps getting better and better sometimes 5 stars doesn’t seem enough. This engrossing paranormal forbidden romance story has something for supernatural lovers and as with the other books in the series it will blow you away. CR’s writing paints a vivid picture each and every character and the world building and wordsmithing allows my imagination to run with the possibilities. Forbidden Blood is action packed, danger and secrets, drama and adventure, paranormal creatures, magical beings, fated mates and magic. Pawns are being used in a deadly game of war where there are hidden agendas, corruption and where evil is lurking. This paranormal suspense is a sweet seduction at its best. It is so easy to get swept up in this journey and pulled into this world. This cleverly woven tale is pulled together with multiple layers and complex threads that kept me glued to the pages. I really can’t wait for more.

This is book 5 in the Hidden Valley Elite series. It is the prequel to Aspen and Phoenix’s duet (Book 6 and 7). It is has both enemies to lover’s trope and bully romance. I highly recommend reading books 1-4 before starting this one, but it is not a must, I just think it gives a good background context for Phoenix’s character, and some of the other non-main characters.
This series just keeps getting better and better! I cannot wait to get my hands on Cruel Hate & Cruel Love.
Aspen is new to town and is barely hanging on as it is when her life was turned upside down after what was supposed to be a small fling with Phoenix. Phoenix is the star football player at the Academy, and is headed to Thane University after this summer, and then most likely the NFL.
The chemistry between these who is electric and starts from the minute they set eyes on each other. One night between the two of them may impact both of their futures. What will they decide to do about the big surprise? This is the first time we really get to see Phoenix’s mind when it comes to women, besides being told he is a ladies’ man. His thought process has always been ‘one and done’ type of mentality.
Phoenix I feel is the biggest bully out of the 4 Elite boys. He literally could care less about anything or anyone unless it has to do with his football career. I can’t really blame him though, because he has worked so hard to get to where he is. Like pretty much the other two boys, Phoenix and Aspen meet at a party, but this time at the Cove.
This big surprise threatens to undo everything both Phoenix and Aspen have worked so hard for. So what will they choose? Will they only think of themselves, regardless of what the other one wants?
I read this in one sitting, and I am so excited to see how their relationship or non-relationship evolves. This book is super-fast paced, but Isla Vaughn does a wonderful job giving you just enough details to suck you in, but also not so little details that you are left confused. This book DOES end in a big cliffhanger so be prepared!

This was a great book to introduce the country of Israel to young readers. The mixture of real life photos mixed with illustrated children helped to keep this from being just like any other children’s book about a different country. The beginning of this book begins with an explanation of the meaning of the word shalom which absolutely would help a little one remember as it is repeated throughout the story. Readers will get a quick yet amazingly beautiful glimpse of the country and learn a little about the culture as well!

Cruel start is a prequel to Aspen and Phoenix’s story. Their story continues in book five and six of the Hidden Valley Elite Series. Although you don’t need to need to read the first four or their prequels, I would recommend you do!! It is such a great series and the previous books give you a lot more information about other characters and events that are mentioned here and there throughout this book. The prequels are wonderful little starters and I am so glad that I read them! Back to this book. Cruel Start is so good! I can’t wait to finish Aspen and Phoenix’s story! Aspen is spending her last summer before college working and staying away from family drama as much as possible. She needs the stress relief that comes from cliff diving at the cove. She uses it to get away and unwind from life. After a dive she crashes into Phoenix. He’s the hottest man she’s ever literally run into. She’s the only girl to ever get under his skin. A night of passion at a cove party turns into the biggest mistake she could imagine and has repercussions he always said he’d never make in his life. Her risk-taking days are over and he’s risking more than ever. What will these two do when those two lines show a plus? Are their lives over? There goes NFL for him and college for her, right? And what about the fall out with their parents?! Their life plans are going up in smoke quick! Check this book out! If you love enemies to lover books (that end with a cliffhanger!), you will love this new adult romance. This story continues on with book five Cruel Hate and then book six Cruel Love, which I personally can not wait to read!!
The Finding (Berrycreek Heights Series Book 1) by A. M. Porto. This is a great, very emotional young adult read. Its the story of Victoria and Logan who meet at a very young age and fall in love quite young as well. Victoria’s mom dies when she is very young and she is left to be raised by her step dad Zach a raging alcoholic who also abuses her. Logan is determined to protect Victoria at all costs but doesn’t realize how severe the abuse is. Everyone knows how horrible the situation is but are not sure what to do about it, they are just kids. As they grow older they start to have deeper feelings for one another and as soon as they fall in love Zach and Victoria disappear leaving Logan desperate to find her and down a black road filled with violence and sadness. When he finally finds her and finds out all the things she’s been thru it will take everything in Logan to not do the unthinkable. This is a dark, sad, love story that is probably happening to people all around us without us knowing.

5 Stars Forbidden Blood (The Shadow Chronicles Book 4) by CR Robertson
Forbidden Blood is the fourth book in The Shadow Chronicles Series. This is a wonderfully written Paranormal/ Fantasy Suspense/Romance that will captivate you from the beginning and its hard as heck to put down. I read in one afternoon. This author is one of my favorites and each book is just as good as the last. Her style of writing and attention to detail makes for an epic story. The characters are relatable, fully developed and creative. They definitely bring the story to life and you feel like you are apart of the adventure. This is Kimber and Fabian’s story. Kimber is empathic she senses people’s pain and emotions. She also has visions . These abilities aren’t normally found in vampires. Kimber has been held captive by her very selfish leaders. Fabian is shaman and watches over the world and magic. He’s very different from others as he genuinely cares for others. These two together can they join forces together and keep all evil away? I’m afraid im going to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. As always I look forward to reading more from this Author.

A Match Made in Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series by Elsa Winckler. This was such a fun and sweet second-chance romance story. Although this book is the second book of a series, I had no trouble following the storyline. Annie Miller is a sweet and kind woman who moves to Marietta to be with her siblings and sets up a bed and breakfast after she gets her heart broken. Craig O’Sullivan is a workaholic that comes to Marietta from Portland to attend his cousin’s wedding and also gets some much-needed rest. I loved this story. Annie and Craig have great chemistry and a fun build-up. The story is written well and pretty realistic. I loved watching these two lower their guard and get to know each other. Also, lots of fun characters.

Zara is a strong independent woman who loves her work as a sports agent. However, there’s one person, who gets under her skin- Noah Ashe. They had a chance encounter during their college years; one she’d like to forget. When they share a kiss will they become more? Sacrifice Bunt is a well-written romance with sexual tension between the main characters. I enjoyed reading this book as a stand-alone, but it is the second in the Ground Rule series.
As high School ends, Summer comes and goes, college begins. Stop! Summer starts as Aspen stands on the edge of the cliff, she knows her dive will wash her mind clean if only for the moment. She loves diving, and she is good at it. Phoenix loves women and he is good at it. His brain of thought is “one and done”. That is until the One is stuck in his mind and he can’t be done. This is just the beginning for Aspin and Phoenix. That is where this series leads you too. So make sure you read the series in order. You won’t want to miss how this couple collides. The author has done it this time. She has once again opened a series that leaves you begging for more, so much more. Her story is fast paced and leaves no stone unturned. While this is a New Adult Romance it does touch on sensitive subjects. It also ended in a cliffhanger, so be prepared to get comfortable as your reading gets rocked. Such a must read series, I look forward to starting the next book in this series. I want more of Aspin and Phoenix!
This is the second book in the Ground Rule Series. I really enjoyed this story. These books can be read as a standalone but I will be reading others in the series as I really enjoyed it. The author does an amazing job with the characters. They are relatable and easy to connect with. A part of me felt sorry for Noah. I feel the misunderstanding with Zara has lead to her thinking of him as something he’s not and that hinders any chance they have of a relationship.
Zara is a very independent, determined woman. As a sports agent she is used to being strong and doing things her way. She doesn’t like being made to feel vulnerable and that is exactly what she feels when she is around Noah. A chance meeting, a fire alarm which caused them to flee and then Noah disappearing has left her feeling vulnerable but the main thing that is making her vulnerable is if she admits to herself and to Noah that her feelings for him aren’t hate after all. Noah has had trauma in his past. After losing his dad in a fire, the night he rescued Zara caused him to flee. Since that night he has not been able to get her out of his mind. But how can he make her see that the image she has in her mind of him isn’t the person he is? Can they learn to trust each other enough to be completely vulnerable with each other? Or will having to be vulnerable be too much for them to even think about and stopping any chance of romance before it begins? The attraction and chemistry between them jumps off the page but until they learn how to be vulnerable will they ever stand a chance?
This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the fourth book in this series which I highly suggest reading as well. They will help with your enhancement of this series as well as this author’s writing skills. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story of secrets and will take you on an adventure in the world of fantasy. The characters are strong, creative and connectable. I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start and kept my attention to the end. They will make you question your morals for right and wrong. They made the story realistic for me and had me wanting to know more. I enjoyed what they added to the story. I enjoyed the growth of the plot which made it easy to read and entertaining as well. This is a story you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to read her books. This is the first book in a new series and what a great start it is. I can’t wait to see what the second book brings. This is a well written story about one steamy night and attraction that can’t be denied. I enjoyed how the author used details to make the plot and the characters pop. They are strong, relatable and kept me coming back for more. Their growth as well as their chemistry is great to watch and added to the stories entertainment value. I found this book to be fast paced, engaging and just hard to put down. I enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.
This is a great book for young and old…..not only my great nieces and nephew enjoyed this story of culture and learning but I loved this story as well….and you are never to old to learn something new.
Shalom Israel took us on a wonderful journey of cities, marketplace, food and rich history as your flip each page.
I love the glossary and interesting facts as well at the end to know what some of the terminology means. The illustrations really brought this book to life…..what a wonderful learning journey and a fun children’s book.

I really enjoyed Kimber & Fabian’s story. Watching these two as their relationship developed was quite the interesting item. I really enjoyed watching Kimber grow into her talents and develop her Earth Goddess skills. She deserves someone like Fabian to love her. Fabian kind of gives up everything to love her. Seeing the sacrifice he makes shows his devotion. I have enjoyed watching the characters in this series grow and develop. The writing is fantastic and fun to follow. The storyline is entertaining.

4 Stars Rise of the Hunter (Blood Prophecy Series) by Barb Jones
Rise of the Hunter is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy Series and the first book in a new Trilogy. This is a Paranormal story loaded with vampires,demons,witches,werewolves and lots of other supernatural elements. There’s a lot going on and I had a bit of a hard time trying to figure it all out. This authors style of writing pulls you and keeps you turning the pages unfortunately with this one the many different POVs made it hard for me to get into the story with ease like normal. The characters are creative, developed. I truly wanted to enjoy this more than I did. Id recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. If you like many different POVs and stories about revenge then this is a book for you. Im still looking forward to reading more from this Author. I’m hoping it was just the mood I was in for this book.

Determination. With each book in this series, I fall more and more in love with Isla Vaughn and her incredible work. This is book 4.5 in the series and serves as the prequel to Phoenix and Aspen’s story. It’s their last summer before they start college in just a few short weeks and one-night changes both of their lives. Phoenix is a football star excited to get to Thane with his cousins Cole and Damon and twin brother Shane, one party, one surfer girl alters his plans in an unexpected way. Aspen is excited and sad about going to Thane for college and leaving her younger sister home with their parents who are in the middle of a nasty divorce. One chance encounter at the cove has both haunted by the other in their dreams, then the party when karma decided to repeat history. Both have a similar story as far as their parents. Both having a young pregnancy on the verge of life changing career moments. The only difference is the decisions the fathers made. For Phoenix his father walked away at the first chance, for Aspen her parents married “doing the right thing” but unhappy and unhealthy relationship over the years. Never a fan of love, Aspen tells Phoenix that she feels he deserves to know but tells him he’s off the hook it’s her responsibility now. Not having positive female influences in his life, mother is great but works too much, aunt was manipulative, needy, and damaged and Tracey, brother’s girlfriend one track mind gold digger. He refuses to do the “relationship” thing and trapped like his cousins and brother with the distraction of a girl. Wants in the NFL and has plans on how to get there. How will Phoenix handle the news of being a father and “off the hook”? How does being pregnant as a freshman in college affect Aspen’s life? Can they reach an agreement moving forward? While the previous books had slightly more niche complications or story arcs this one has one that I feel many people can relate to. Being the product of a teen pregnancy where my father chose not to stick around, I have always related to Phoenix and Shane in that aspect of their lives. Though history is serving up a seismic level dose of karma for both Aspen and Phoenix, can they find a better way to make it through than their parents did? Now the long wait for the first book in the duet Cruel Hate, August 31st, 2023, to discover what the journey holds next for Phoenix and Aspen.
