Book 1, Wild Lavender hooked me. I had to know more and see what would happen with Claire. Book 2, this book. Most definitely didn’t see the plot twist. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions from chuckling at some of the banter to my heart racing at times. The journey that Claire had to endure and become stronger from it was heart breaking and hopeful. Not to mention that she still had and won the heart of her beloved. Truly masterfully written and beautifully done. Definitely recommend reading.

Older kids (upper elementary and middle) will enjoy using their own skills to try and solve each chapter alongside Gregory the Orange Forest Rabbit and his team.

Josie Gardner is a mom in her forties going through a divorce and finds herself in a position that more than a few of us have dreamt about. She wakes up in her senior year of high school. Will this be a chance for a do-over? Josie is a highly relatable character. She feels like her life is falling apart. Her husband wants to take primary custody of their children and her business just suffered a terrible blow. The part of the plot in the nineties is a fun blast from the past. The friendships with Emily and Sofia were sweet and felt nostalgic. I also enjoyed the scenes with Josie and her parents. You could especially feel the longing for her dad. It was fun guessing how Josie’s actions would impact the future. This was fun to read. If you enjoy time travel plots, this is highly suggested.

This is a two-part story of the series The Blind Rebels. This book is a novella that introduces you to what happened before the series begins. This book series follows the story of the behind-the-scenes of the band Blind Rebels. There are four members in the band: Mav; Callum; Killian; and Sammy. While you are introduced to each member, part one of the book really revolves around Mav, Callum, and Mav’s girlfriend, Becka. Becka is a basket case (who hides it well) who is after fame in any way she can find it. When things didn’t work out with a guy from another band, she quickly fell into the arms of Mav. This story is told from the perspective of each character and you learn a lot about the inner workings of the storyline. I don’t want to give anything away but there are secrets and craziness that take place, mainly due to Becka’s instability. Part two of the book starts to introduce you to the three other books in the series. Now, if you have not read the series you may feel a little lost, as I did. However, they are giving you bits and pieces of the other books to introduce a timeline. As for a book, if you like sex, drugs, and rock & roll, with a side of crazy this is the story for you. While I thought the storyline was fine and I was interested in seeing where this was going, I never felt attached to the characters. It wasn’t that they were not interesting or good characters, but they didn’t do much for me. There is a part of me that wants to hear the other’s stories so I may go back and read them at some point. Lastly, read your trigger warnings.

This is an historically written fiction. Peter Beale does what he has to to survive and help his family. As he becomes a man he must continue to do what he can. This book is well written and filled with great knowledge from the author. It touches on many important facts of our history.The Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill and so many more.The story is fast paced and loaded with great information. While this is not a book for me, many of you will enjoy it. I know many of my history readers who would enjoy the facts that are shared. As this author has done his research before writing this book. The characters are realistic and also share so much of what life was like for them. This is definitely a series for all history buff’s. Having read the book I know you will enjoy it so much more than I would.

This was a very emotional story about love, heartbreak, missed opportunities, tradegy, loss and mystery. This was such a good read. I was so invested in this couples story and at times my heart broke for them both. This is Cameron and Jessie’s story.
Cameron and Jessie were friends growing up and as Jessie grew older their feelings changed from innocent friendship to something more romantic. Cameron was always there for Jessie picking her up when she fell down and supporting her through the hardest part of her life, the death of her parents. But there were forces working against them keeping them apart and when it all gets to much Jessie leaves to focus on her skating career.
When Jessie suffers an injury and returns for her friends wedding she sees Cameron and all those old feelings return.
Cameron on the other hand was left heartbroken when Jessie left and over time he slowly starts to mend him heart and move forward. He starts dating and seems happy until Jessie returns and all the old feelings return with her. The question is will opening his heart to her again be a good idea or will it only cause he more heartache?
With the immense return of feelings and the old mystery returning still trying to keep them apart do they even stand a chance? And with Cameron still in the dark about the real reason Jessie left how will he respond when he learns the truth? This is a beautiful second chance romance where misunderstandings and other people keeps two people made for each other apart

The Handshake Agreement by A. Akinosho is a age gap/ rekindled and second chance love story.
I really wanted to enjoy it, but had a hard time with this one. It is easy to read; however, the lack of punctuation, incorrect phrasing, run on sentences and a litany of other grammatical errors did make it difficult to follow at times.
Without giving spoilers, the plot twist at the end was completely unnecessary and really detracted from the original storyline. Seemed rather disjointed. All this aside, I did have some issues with the leads: the MMC was heavy-handed, stalkerish and obsessive. I’m all for a touch-her-and-die, but this wasn’t pulled off.. for me at least. The FMC was meant to come across as independent and take no nonsense from the man who is used to having his way- which was supposed to be part of the appeal behind his love interest- but it fell short. She had these conversations in her head on how she was not going to let him just have his way. When the actual conversation took place, she resisted and stood her ground-once. Then immediately acquiesced. I feel like both could use some character development.

I loved this emotional and engaging second chance romance, which kept me happily turning the pages. After her first love broke her heart Blakely was determined to have the life she dreamed of. She now has that, a great house, her dream job and the perfect boyfriend. However, when the boy who broke her heart returns Blakely has decisions to make. Jamie never planned to return home when he joined the Air force, but a last request from his best friend results in him returning. This means confronting his past and reconciling with Blakely. To complicate matters, Blakely’s promotion rests on Jamie opening up about their friend’s death. As she sees the darkness Jamie carries and begins to understand his decision to leave her behind, her anger disappears. This leaves Blakely’s heart vulnerable as she finds away to help Jamie’s heart heal from his traumas. The mix of their shared history and Jamie’s demons will either push them further apart or bring them closer together. I loved Blakely and Jamie and their chemistry came across in the story. It was an emotional read at times but an enjoyable one. I was hooked throughout and I look forward to the next book in this new series.

An enjoyable, emotional and engaging contemporary romance, with a rockstar romance theme. Cadence is stuck in a relationship with a guy who is now a stranger and in a career she didn’t want. She’s craving something, and she finds it when she comes face to face with the lead singer of Rebel Rebellion, Damien Walker. The fact that he makes it clear he doesn’t want anything to do with her just seems to make her more interested. However, it turns out that Damien also thinks Cadence is intriguing, but he has his own issues to deal with. His family is relying on him and memories from his past keep him from getting too close to anyone. Cadence manages to break through Damien’s walls and although he can’t have her, he can’t stay away. They feel like everything is trying to keep them apart but they are willing to break the rules to be together. I love the fact that it’s the music that brings Cadence and Damien together. I found them both to be likeable and relatable characters. I was pleased that this wasn’t just like every other rockstar romance. I thought it had much more depth and emotion in the storyline which kept me invested in the story.

Lois Wickstrom does it again!! We absolutely love her books. I read this with my kids for bedtime and our usual daily reading. I love mystery books and think this is a cute fun way to see if my kids get into it as well.
There are 3 mysteries stories to read all with adventures, fun and family. We enjoyed Gregory and his family very much. 3 books in one to make it even better!!

Going to start off by saying its 4 stars because I didn’t realize this was a series when I chose to read it. Also, I haven’t been into the whole world of BDSM even though I like spice sometimes. I will say it’s an awesome book, great story and very very informative lol. This book had some good twist, and the characters are just as good! I have added the first two books of the series to my TBR list and will buy them on my next book haul. I am looking forward to reading more of Alyndra Quinn Books especially the first two to this series.
This Time Around by Kimberly Packard is a second chance romance in the vein of 17 Again or 13 going on 30 (well opposite on that one). It follows Josie – middle-aged anxiety-riddled divorcee and mother of two. Her life is in shambles, mental health a mess, and her heart still hasn’t gotten over the one that got away. When the pressure becomes too much, Josie wakes up from a panic attack to find herself back in her teens getting ready to start senior year of high school. Josie is determined to right the wrongs of the past and armed with love of children as yet unborn. This is one second-chance romance you don’t want to miss.

The Handshake Agreement by A. Akinosho follows the story of Annie and Declan. Though he has promised his father, through a handshake agreement, that he will marry the woman of his fathers choosing, all that changes when Declan meets Annie. Annie is a friend of Delcans younger sister and he will stop at nothing to make her his. This book contains many themes including a possessive, alpha male; stalking; and an age gap. I’d say this is a good book if you enjoy those themes. There’s definitely some major twists.

Each book in this series has been wonderful, and somehow they have been refreshingly new while still being interconnected. While it is possible to read each of these as a standalone and not be completely lost, I highly recommend reading each one in the series for the full experience. After reading just one you will end up going back to pick up the rest anyways because it is so addictive! In this book we get to know Bistrita and Chara a little deeper. A war within the vampires is bound to be destructive but revenge is a strong force. Without giving anything away, I will tell you that the drama and suspense is heavier in this one more than the previous. This would be a perfect book if you enjoy intense paranormal books. Don’t forget to pick up the other books in the series as well to feed your addiction!

This is the second book in the Golden Age of Mystery Bookclub. After reading the first book, I knew that I needed to pick this one up! This author has a way of keeping you on your toes. I love a good mystery and especially love when I cannot figure out who it was. I have never read any books from Josephine Tey, but I think that is about to change. I could not put this book down! If you’re looking for a fast but exciting mystery, this is the book for you.

This is the fourth book in the Masters of the Consulates series, and what a ride it has been so far! Master Romano is in quite the predicament in this book. If you haven’t read any of the previous books in the series, you may be a little lost. It is possible to read them as standalones, but there is a lot of backstory that is continued from the previous stories. I will read paranormal anything, but this book has checked off so many boxes in my must-read list. Vampires and witches aren’t the best of friends, but when a witch named Raven is around Romano, a vampire, things are a little different. I don’t want to give anything away but know that the plot is absolutely amazing with the ‘we shouldn’t energy between these two. If you are looking for an incredible vampire romance with dramatic suspense, look no further. Give this book a chance and you will definitely be running back to pick up the first few books in the series!

This may just be my favorite by this author so far! The Masters of the Consulate series has been absolutely phenomenal only three books in. I definitely recommend reading these in the correct order as they do build upon each other. There are details in the previous two books that are important for this storyline as well although I’m sure it isn’t impossible to read them as a standalone if you’d like. The character development in such a short amount of time is unbelievable. Angel and Trentino have a very interesting relationship. Angel ends up between a rock and a hard place with the decisions that must be made. The plot is solid and unfolds at a quick but natural pace. If you are looking for a dark, fated mates vampire romance, don’t pass this one up!

What an incredible second installment of the Masters of the Consulate series! This was a wonderfully steamy read with the plot continuing from the first book. I do highly recommend reading these books in order as you may find yourself quite lost without the previous explanations. Delilah and Christian have an unexplainably strong chemistry that you can feel jumping right off the pages! Delilah is quite a strong FMC and I found her relatable. Christian wants to protect her and when push comes to shove, will he do the only thing he can to save her? I am truly excited to see where this series is going as I absolutely love the tropes and characters so far. If you’re looking for a paranormal romance that you can read in an afternoon, definitely pick this up! Don’t forget to get the first book in the series as well to get the full experience.

I have read a few of the later books in this series, and I loved them so much that I knew I had to start from the beginning. This author is definitely one of my favorites with the way they are able to craft such a compelling and intriguing story. I love everything paranormal, so this was definitely up my alley. It was really cool to go back to the beginning of this series to see where it all began. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it as much since I have read so many of the later ones, so I was really surprised to find that it was still amazing! It is fast paced quick read that is full of steamy chemistry with incredible characters. If you enjoy the paranormal world with vampires then please do yourself a favor and pick up this book. It only gets better as you move forward through the series!

Lost Hollow: A Small Town Science Fiction Romance (Alienville Series Book 1) by Donna S. Frelick. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait for the 2nd book. This book kept me busy flipping pages until the very last page! I loved it! Its the story of Moria whose twin sister Claire has gone missing on her way to visit. She has vanished without a trace. Moria is left empty handed at every turn and everyone in town is helping her. The cute Chief of police is also helping, Seth Call is the chief and he has a pretty good idea of what happened to her sister. Its the same weird things that happen in this town but its very hard to explain to someone not from there. The chemistry between Moria & Seth is sizzling and throw in a little Sci Fi and you have got a Romantic Suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing book and get hooked just like I did!

This was the first book I had picked up by this author, but the cover looked really cute, so I gave it a chance. I’m so glad that I did because it was such a wonderful experience! I’m from a small town, and the author seemed to have captured the feel of it perfectly. The very beginning grabbed my attention and refused to let go as I read about this second chance romance. Cameron and Jessie are fantastic characters that encounter some very dramatic situations that will fill you with suspense. I have enjoyed this writing style very much and will continue to look for more books by this author. I highly recommend picking it up if you enjoy romantic suspense novels about second-chance romances!

The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry – Review by Jessica Stone
Wow, my goodness to say I throughly enjoyed this book is a understatement. This book grabbed me and didn’t let go right from the start. This author did a wonderful job of making this book interesting and easy to relate to, for anyone who’s ever been in a bad relationship or even to anyone who is just starting to develop feelings for someone.
Cadence is so relatable at points in this book it’s like looking in a mirror, the ups and downs this girl faces with juggling her friendships long distance to trying to maintain her relationship is nothing else if not entertaining. I find myself eager to see her get riled up and angry because watching the explosions is fun. She’s witty, and funny, and quirky, while managing to have a softer vulnerable side that she doesn’t show often but when she does it’s a real treat.
Damien is on the outside, the epitome of a up and coming rockstar. But underneath his friendly, outgoing facade he’s full of emotions that he doesn’t share with anyone. He’s got a lot going on in his life and doesn’t quite know how to handle it all, which in turn just kind of shuts him down more. But thankfully throughout this book he really opens up once he meets cadence and they hit it off.
So here’s the run down, girl goes to concert with sister to see new band she loves,girls finance stays home because he’s to good for that sort of thing, girl meets hot moody rocker, guy and girl do not hit it off, but have weird attraction to one another nonetheless. Girl and guy end up seeing each other more and more, start to develop a friendship that’s sexually charged from the get go, unfortunately girl still has fiancé, whom treats her less than great a lot of the time. Girl starts to realize she deserves better and she’s unhappy and thus the story unfolds.
Though it’s definitely not as cut and dry as that, the relationships maintained and made in this book are nothing if not whole heartedly relatable. Between her and her sister and her long time home town friends to her strained relationship with her fiancé and her new budding friendship with her rockstar, I devoured every word this book had to offer. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is the eleventh book in this series. I highly suggest reading the previous books as well. They are just as great as this one. I enjoy how the author is able to pull me into the character’s world from the start. I also enjoy the attention to details that this author puts into her book to make them come to life. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is full of steam, vampires and has a dark twist to it. The characters are creative and connectable. They add so much to the story which makes it easy and entertaining to read. I enjoyed the growth throughout the story which also made it hard to put down. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

I cannot recommend this book enough! I was hooked from the beginning and had an extremely hard time putting it down when I had to do adult things and stuff. I laughed, I cried, I was heartbroken, I was fixed…I went through so many emotions while reading this book and I want you to experience them too! I’m a huge sucker for good character development and let me just say…Terry has outdone herself with her characters. Both MC’s are relatable but Cadence really spoke to my heart on so many levels. I cannot wait to get my hands on another of Terry’s books. PICK THIS UP NOW!! Reviewed by @meggs1717

This is the fourth book in the Tally and the Angel series. These books are written for middle school aged children and are great adventures which are entertaining for children of all ages. I love the authors attention to detail and I’m this book we focus on Greek Mythology. We are back with Tally and her angel who we meet in book one and since then we have been on several adventures and this one is no exception. Tally’s angel is there to guide and protect her from danger and is a sense of comfort to Tally since the passing of her mum. Tally has always listened to her angels warnings and cautions however things maybe changing. As Tally is getting older she starts to notice boys and when she is visiting the greek islands with her father one boy called Theo catches her eye. However things aren’t what they seem and what unfolds is an adventure that has danger, excitement, mythological beings and an important decision which could change the relationship between Tally and her angel for good. I do highly recommend these books and my son loves me reading them to him. I would recommend reading them in order so you can get a complete understanding of Tally and her angel and how they came to be together and the adventures they have already been on together.
