The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 5)The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 5 in The Olympic Peninsula series definitely does not disappoint. Edward the oldest of all the siblings and a former priest is back home again and is trying to find out what his next steps in life are going to be. He has come to the realization that a celibate lifestyle is not at all for him. Though this is not the reason he left the Catholic Church.
Lisette is at a time in her life where she wants more as well. Tired of Reynard and his ways and knowing that he is growing bored with her as well, she ends things with him. Now what will Lisette do?
Both Edward and Lisette have some things to figure out in their lives in order to move forward. Is it a mistake to start something so soon?
This book is the fifth and last book of this series and I have loved watching all of the relationships and couples grow. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend reading them in order because they do have very big roles in each subsequent story. I have absolutely loved watching all of these characters develop and come to life in every book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a cute a quick little kids book. It’s a good lesson for kids about every one being good at different things. Learning new ways to work as a team. The illustrations are so cute and well done. I read this to our two year old and while it’s probably a bit advanced reading wise he really liked the pictures and pointing out items he’s starting to recognize. We really liked this for our bedtime story and highly recommend it. Five stars.

Three stories in one book. Each is based on the BDSM Master/slave genre. I was not expecting the sizzle these stories provided. Each interesting in their own way. Out of the three stories, I related most to the characters in the third story. I was rooting for them. If you like a lot of spice in your reading, give this book a try.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a sweet clean fantasy filled with twists and turns to keep you guessing who will save the day. A little romance I hope to see bloom in the next book. I was totally engrossed in the story easily and the author kept me guessing throughout the story. I loved the writing style, it was easy to read and envision.

Hazel is our MC and is on the hunt for who killed her sister. She ends up in a town full of magical people and a vampire. The more she hunts for her sister’s killer, the more trouble she finds herself in. Quite an interesting and enjoyable read. Bring on book 2.

Love Rinkside (The Playmakers Series) by G. K. Brady – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Love Rinkside (Playmakers)Love Rinkside by G.K. Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a quick and easy read that I was able to devour in one sitting.

Katie and Drew meet at a Halloween party in a comical way that sets the tone for the entire story. Once the costumes come off, these two find that they have more in common than just the instant chemistry. While they are fearful of jumping into a relationship, due to being burned in the past, these two find themselves falling quickly for each other. Add in some four-legged friends, some hockey (which the series is based on), and some more costumes…and you get a funny, steamy, learning-to-love again romance.

I have read the other books in the series, and this one focuses less on hockey and more on Katie and Drew’s relationship. The characters are relatable…and we get to see the characters from the previous books. I found myself laughing out loud at parts…and stories with doggos always pull me in. Another great story from this author!

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery (Dinopotamus Series) by Lois Wickstrom. This is another amazing installment by Lois Wickstrom. I love all of her books. My 6 year old nephew and I read this together and we both loved it. Its about Dinopotamus discovering that when he gets up from where he has been sitting its warm so he leaves it for the other children to take a nap. So the whole class sets out to discover where the warm spots are. Trying to fit in is hard but with this one thoughtful thing Dinopotamus makes friends with the whole class. These books are so cute and sweet and always have a real life lesson in them. They make wonderful gifts for families or teachers too. My nephew and I are super fans of this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

O.M.G. Where oh where has this book and this author been??!! I read a book by this author way back in 2020 but I guess she escaped me. Now, after reading this book, she will not get away!!!

The main character K.C., gets put through so much in her short life. Her family is a real piece of work. Are there really any good political families in real life or make believe? This story is a little predictable on one hand but then there’s a little twist to keep you flipping those pages. Chamberlain, the male MC is ugh…so sweet but ugh. A true guy with his platonic blinders on. I absolutely love love love K.C. and Chamberlain’s relationship. The secondary characters aka best friends, Beth, Scott and even Gwen, who I love to hate right now, are all worthy characters as well.

This way this author writes had me mesmerized and trying to read faster than I ever had. Currently reading part 2 of this story and looking forward to what may and who may come next.

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate Book 11) by Sylvia Black – Review by Jenni Bishop

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate #11)Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every time Sylvia adds another dark and delicious Master to the series, I think it is my favourite, but she keeps raising the bar. I have said it before, and I am saying it again Masters of the Consulate is one of my favourite series and it is so easy to become lost to this harsh world yet there is also something beautiful within the darkness.
This dark Vampire romance series is every paranormal reader paradise. Sylvia has cleverly created multiple threads that weave a dangerous and complex world with multilayered characters, the Masters. With a world full of paranormal beings, old world factions, rogues, wars, lies, secrets there is something for even the most discerning reader.
Wickedly delightful Master Bistrita’s story is enticing, fast paced, full of suspense and let’s not forget it is sizzling hot. He is fierce, he is loyal, he is intense, he is sexy, he is deadly. Master Bistrita is on my list of book boyfriends. Ok so are the others but still. They love hard and fiercely and will stop at nothing to keep what they deem as theirs safe.
While chasing rogues Master Bistrita finds something he does not believe in but there she is in front of his face. Fated. Mate. But there is also something much worst and shocking in the foreground that he must face and that is betrayal.
Betrayal, greed, fighting for survival, feuds, a harsh and savage underworld that is so deliciously dark and gritty. With a vividly rich narrative you can feel things escalating and coalescing to an epic and explosive ending.
There are 11 books so far in the series with the twelfth still to come. Make sure you read them in order because seriously you are missing out and the Masters cross over.
Book 1 – Master Descallia
Book 2 – Master Tascano
Book 3 – Master Trentino
Book 4 – Master Romano
Book 5 – Master Catteneo
Book 6 – Master Calabrea
Book 7 – Master Campania
Book 8 – Master Sardinia
Book 9 – Master Botosoni
Book 10 – Master Oradea
Book 11 – Master Bistrita
Book 12 – Master Slobozia the last and final book to the series. I can’t wait for it to be released. Am I selfish when I say I don’t want this series to end.

Is just an itch? Jack and his friends go down a rabbit hole before finding the evidence and poor ol’ Shank is on the receiving end. My grandsons enjoyed it and enjoyed Shank’s misadventures.
No One Could See the Flea has a unique storyline with lots of things for children to examine, learn and wonder about. It is an entertaining and imaginative children’s picture book that brings laughter at the antics and goings on.
The illustrations by Michele Katz are fun and engaging and help to bring this adventure tale to life.
Looking forward to reading more of Tricia’s work.

The Queen's Dance: A Sizzling Slow Burn Fantasy Romance (Heart & Hand Series Book 2)The Queen’s Dance: A Sizzling Slow Burn Fantasy Romance by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an epic fantasy tale The Queen’s Dance has turned out to be. The magical realm of Aurelia and neighbouring kingdoms come to life under Nicoles clever worldbuilding. This book brings about a more mystical element as Clare learns that a curse may just be a gift. But she has many trials ahead of her. Will she get back to the man she loves.
There is fear, loathing, angst, hope, heartache, heartbreak, passion, courage, and a lot more. It is a historical romance tale with paranormal elements, and I found I was drawn into this medieval story more and more as the clever plotting and trials and tribulations unfolded.
There is political intrigue, survival, plants, lore, magic and coming into one’s own. Discovering what could truly be.
If you like epic fantasy romances, then this book is for you.

Murder the Tey Way (Golden Age of Mystery Book Club) by Marilyn Levinson – Review by Jessie Hopkins

/0 Comments/in /by

I love when a book starts off and immediately sucks you in.
There is enough carried over from the first book that you feel informed, but it’s explained enough that reading it as a standalone probably wouldn’t be confusing.
The friendship Lexie has with her new neighbor Joy makes it seem like she didn’t recently move in. They almost seem like they’ve been friends much longer.
I was excited to have both Al and Brian in this book as Lexie works through her personal life. I also enjoyed learning more about Lexie’s past and family having her sister and son more involved.

/0 Comments/in /by

Lexie sucked me in from the start. I couldn’t wait to read more. I couldn’t wait to read more. This was a page turner I struggled putting down.
I was right there at all the book club meetings and suspecting everyone right along with Lexie. Every person she knew was a suspect in my eyes and I struggled crossing any of them off my list.
The little bits of romance thrown in are nice and don’t take away from the mystery at hand but just show that people care about Lexie, even when she feels like she has no one in her corner.
Now on to book 2!

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is three novellas in one book. It was my first time dipping my toe into these tropes and it was both interesting and eye opening. I really liked the characters and the stories in all three books even though they are all stand alone. In the first one the quiet librarian, Penny, gets a few gifts left at the library for her and is told to meet X at a hotel. She is curious so she goes to see who he is and ends up liking being submissive to X. He teaches her and dresses her, but she becomes more confident in her skin. In the second book, Courtney signs up for training at The Commander’s Club because she is trying to find her coworker who sent a text and is believed to be one of the slave girls. Coutrney’s master is a man she has been thinking about since she saw him at her office earlier in the week. Ty Dragon is undercover and they are trying to take down the owner of the club. They both start to develop feelings and they need to take down the club before she is sold off to another master. The last book follows Laura in Paris. She is accused of theft and then mugged and decides to become a temporary courtesan to earn money to get her back to the states. She is nervous and excited and hopes that a particular gentleman in the crowd is going to buy her but then he gets up to leave. Nick is there to make his sister in law happy since she says he needs to move on after his divorce six years before. He is taken by her and doesn’t want anyone else to get his hands on her, she seems so new and innocent and he knows the types of men in the room. Laura is sent to her master’s summer home, a mansion in the country, and is happy to see that it is Nick. He tries to make her submissive but he is not too hard on her and sometimes even she takes over. He is hoping to save her and hoping for her to stay. I know that not all bdsm stories probably have love and happy endings, but I enjoyed these!

The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance (Love Ties Us)The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance by Nicolette Terry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While this book is the second in the series it can be read as a standalone. The way Nicolette Terry writes is so very descriptive that I could easily “see” it in my mind as I was reading. This book drew me in slow, but hooked me fast. I didn’t want to put it down.
I could definitely tell from the beginning something was off with Cadence and Elijah’s relationship. The way Elijah went from being a jerk to lovey dovey was classic narcissistic behavior. Thankfully Cadence finally figured out he wanted her in a box and when she finally figured that out and allowed herself to grieve that relationship and move on she was much happier. The connection that Cadence has with Damien is everything a girl could ever hope for. Not to mention the steamy scenes with Damien had me thinking I needed to fan my face. (Spicy edition, there’s a clean edition also). Talk about the spark and heat of these two. In the end, love wins it all.

Oh man I needed this read ! It was lighthearted and so much fun the only thing I’d do is tweek the title to ( no criticism) “ Must love fogs and the rinkside” because let’s face the 3 pooches play a role ❣️🐾😉you can’t help but love Hugo , Annie and Meathead 🐾🤣

Katie and Drew meet at a halloween party and their mascot choices were hilarious to say the least but Katie was the bravest and deserved to win 🤣🤣🤣🤣they also have a get to know you with 10 questions and I think he had her at “dogs” 🤣you can tell a lot by the way someone treats animals 😊

After their first date , Drew walks Katie to the door and gets met with a very protective Hugo and that whole scenario had me in stitches he really let Drew know who’s the “man” in the house 🐾🤣❣️despite the flowers hot , yes the pooch got flowers 💐🥰🐾😉but Hugo won’t let go that easy 😊

You can’t help but feel the chemistry between them and as much as they want to deny it they want more than their single hood they promised to maintain 😉 yes there was rinkside action but I like that the story was more focused on them and how their relationship unfolds and the friendship dynamics , yes there were a few bumps along the way to their HEA but no love story doesn’t have them ….but I must hand it to Drew and the red chilli pepper 🌶️❣️🤣

Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She’s always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn’t supposed to venture into. She’s still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.

This is the first book I have read by Sophie Bartow, and I have to say I enjoyed the book from start to finish. I am glad I gave this book a go as the cover did not pique my interest very much. Forgetting the cover this book is definitely a 5-star read. Sophie Bartow has written this book in a way the book is easy to read and enjoy as the story develops.
This is a second chance romance story set in a coastal town, Cam and Jessie are the main characters in this story and I really did like reading about them, their characters were easy to relate to as were the other characters in this book. Cam and Jessie’s story has romance, drama, twists, and turns, not forgetting the visible chemistry between them both.
If you don’t mind reading books that switch been the now and the past, then this is the book for you to read. Not many authors can flip between the now and the past as easy as Sophie Bartow has done in this book. So please do yourself a favour and read this book, you will not be disappointed.

This is the fourth book in the Tally and the Angel series, and I think it is my favorite so far! I have enjoyed reading all of these with both of my kiddos who are 8 and 12 years old. While you can probably read this as a standalone, I believe reading the full series will give you a much better experience for sure! We are kind of nerds for Greek Mythology in this household which made this installment all the more exciting. Tally goes on quite the adventure with plenty of action. The flow of the story is absolutely wonderful, and everything unfolds at a rather natural pace. I truly enjoyed everything we learned about the Greek culture throughout this story. I highly recommend this intriguing book for you and the kids in your life!

Lost Hollow: A Small-Town Science Fiction Romance (Alienville Book 1)
By Donna S. Frelick

Well, here’s to what is going to be a great series. Lost Hollow is the first great instalment in the Alienville series by Donna S. Frelick. Ok I have to admit it did take me a couple of chapters to get fully into this book, but once I did it is safe to say that I could not wait to turn the page to see what was going to happen next. This book has everything you could want in one book, suspense, drama, twists, and turns and just because the author could there is romance thrown in to the mix. The characters in this book are quite relatable and I am fairly sure you will enjoy reading about them. Claire is on the way to visit her sister Moira, who also happens to be her best friend and twin sister. On the way to visit Moira Claire has to take a detour which takes her to Allenville. The last message Moira received from Claire was to say she would be staying in Allenville for the night and when they continue her journey. How ever it has now been three days since Moira has heard anything from Claire, so Moira leaves her home in West Virginia and travels to Allenville. Moira books into the Traveller’s Rest Inn. While at the Inn Moira asks where she could get some help in finding her sister and is directed to the local police station where she meets the police Chief Seth Call. While Seth has a feeling, he knows what has happened to Claire and with his attraction to Moira he knows he also has to protect his town by keeping the towns secrets. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. This is another 5-star read for me.

No one can figure it out until Dinopotamus uses his scientific reasonings of deduction to come to the proper answer.

This is a cute story that kids will love. It has scientific elements in it taught by a dinosaur! There was one section where I felt like it was repetitive but maybe it was felt that it was needed there. A very enjoyable story and another winning read by Lois Wickstrom!

Mav falls quite quickly in love with Becka and takes her on the road on tour with the band. Maverick is the lead singer of the band and Callum their guitarist is on the path to destruction. Mav is very concerned about Callum not only for the band’s sake but for his life. Becka and Callum have their own chemistry so while Mav thinks Becka is the one for him Becka is always looking for the next rock star. I loved this book and the characters. Becka was not my favorite but I felt like I’ve met several women like her. Read this great book to find out what happens in the rock star world.
