Hoosier Dad by Elizabeth Seckman made me chuckle at the very beginning and managed to continue to do so on and off all the way through, but it also really pulled at my heartstrings.
Rich is a single dad with two daughters with a sizable age difference between the girls, and all I could think about was my daughters and their relationship with their daddy. My husband and girls have a very similar relationship to the relationships Rich has with Kari and Stacey which you don’t see a lot of
When Sarah wasn’t making me laugh she was making me mad. She refused to be an adult about a lot of the matters that came up but I will say she stepped up when she had to which did redeem her in my eyes.
Stacey won my heart so many times and her love for Rover just tipped the scales towards her being my favorite and helped me enjoy the book just a little more.
I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Ms. Seckman before but I do hope I get the opportunity to read her again in the future.

This is on a very short list of books now that I loved the entire thing, but at different points in the book disliked both main characters for one reason or another for making a selfish decision. One usually can do no wrong in my head and this one just threw me for a ride! I love second chance romance, and this was such a spin on that. It took me a bit to connect to Sarah but as her story unfolded, I got her. And Rich and his girls, ugh anything sexier than a single dad busting his behind to give them the best?
This is a just read, many things play factors in this story and in the end I just wanted more or even an epilogue!

Act l: Seed on Fire by Michele Sims is the first book in the Moore Family Saga series. This book is utterly captivating and is the kind of story that will lead you wanting more long after you have finished the last page. Cade and Lecia are amazing. Their story and their whole family is everything in this book. You can feel their connection on every single page. You really buy in to their story. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really liked how well paced I found it all to be. The story seemed to flow so naturally. And the surprised throughout were very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Cult by Seelie Kay is the third book in the Feisty Lawyers series. I would recommend you read this series in order to really get the full background of the characters. This book was just as fast paced and gripping as the previous two. I found myself turning the pages quicker and quicker in a bid to find out what was happening. The twists and turns really kept me on the edge. I love how the author creates a sense of urgency in these books without it feeling rushed or like it is passing too quickly. It really builds it suspense. This is a well written and captivating series. If this is your genre of book then you definitely must give them a try!

An Unexpected Sequel by Heather Silvio is the fourth book in the Paranormal Talent Agency series. This book can be read as a stand-alone book however there are recurring characters in each. As with the other books in this series this is a great fun read. I love the world the author has created with this series. The stories are all great but all have that sense of fun and entertainment about them. The characters were so likeable and engaging. I find it so easy to get involved in their stories, to become invested in the outcomes. Heather Silvio really does know how to write a great book and this is one series I can definitely recommend!View all my reviews

Hoosier Dad is the first book I have read by Elizabeth Seckman and it hooked me from the very beginning. The title alone had me hooked since I live in Indiana so I had to dive in to see what it was all about.
Sarah and Richland were a joy to read. She is a lawyer who is now back and practicing law in her hometown. Rick works in construction and has 2 daughters that he loves very much. Unfortunately he is now face with a custody battle over them and turns to Sarah to help him out. As the time they spend together fighting custody, Rich falls in love with Sarah and who wouldn’t. She’s smart, independent, and the chemistry between the two jumps off the page at you.
I loved everything about this story. Even the secondary characters were amazing to read. Beautiful story and highly recommended!

Wow! This incredibly phenomenal author has managed to amaze me once again! This fantasy read by C.L. Schneider is the third book in the Nite Fire Series, a series that should absolutely be read in order as each new book follows the one before.
This storyline is a one of a kind, it’s intense, action-packed, detailed, shocking, unpredictable and somehow funny all at the same time. There’s always something going on that kept me highly entertained and sitting on the edge of my seat.
Honestly, I loved everything about this storyline so I was able to finish this book in record time as I couldn’t get enough of these characters. I’m always taken on a wild journey when I dive into a book by this author and for that reason, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for their next fantasy read!

L. Schneider – Review by Kaitlynn Taylor
This is a good story that drew me in easily from the beginning. It is smart and snappy. While it lost some of that edge as the story moves forward it still kept me interested. This is full of small town gossip and problems. Everyone is whispering and talking about everyone else and there is no business like everyone else’s business. This became a little too much for me as the story rolled along. It wasn’t over the top but just not something I am a fan of. I did like the Main characters. Rich, the kids and Sarah were fun and added zest to the story. I wish there was more romance instead of the doubt that was always there for the two MC’s. I would have liked the story to touch back on the whole dandelion thing. I thought that was so sweet but it never resurfaced. I highlighted those words because they were so true and a great idea
This is a first time author for me. It was a good story and I read it fairly quickly. My main issue was realism. It was a bit like a soap opera and involved a lot of small town chatter.

I have not had the pleasure of reading anything from Elizabeth Seckman until I picked up Hoosier Dad, but I am glad that I have found a new author to love. I really enjoyed this playful and sweet contemporary romance. I easily got wrapped up in the lives of Richland and Sarah, finding myself finishing the book in one swift sitting. Richland seeks out the help of Sarah for her lawyer skills as he is faced with a custody battle for his daughters. These two have the perfect couple banter back and forth and eventually the feelings become too much to hide. How will things workout for Richland? Will he get his fair time with his girls? Will he get the sassy lawyer too? You will have to dive into this book for yourself to find out all the answers but I can promise you this will be a favorite read once you are finished. I look forward to seeing what else is available from Ms. Seckman and whatever will come next!

Hoosier Dad by Elizabeth Seckman was a fantastic read! This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last, I thoroughly enjoyed this story from start to finish.
This second chance romance is full of detail, drama, history, love/hate relationships and of course love. From the very first chapter I was so intrigued by Sarah and Rich, they had such strong chemistry and I couldn’t wait to get answers to all of my questions. Plus, there was plenty of ongoing drama that kept me intrigued the whole way through, and I was not disappointed by the ending in the slightest.
Now that I’ve read this book, I look forward to reading more from this author.

Behind Blue Eyes by CS Duffy was a phenomenal thriller read! It’s the first book in the Stockholm Murders series and what a great start it is. It’s detailed, action-packed, twisted, unpredictable and had me completely shocked. It was a very entertaining read from start to finish as I was kept on my toes the whole way through as I tried to piece everything together in order to solve the mystery.
I loved the flow of the storyline and I was a huge fan of the different POV’s, it kept me highly intrigued the whole way through.

I highly recommend this book, you won’t regret picking it up.

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors (Book 3) By: C.L. Schneider 5 out of 5 stars
The story Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors (Book 3) by C.L. Schneider is an amazing book to read. It is a story that has mystery, suspense, danger, and action. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I love reading about the character of Dahlia Nite. She is smart, independent, strong, and has a fierce determination. This book has her and her partner Detective Alex Creed working on a case where dismembered bodies are showing up and not all of them are human. This starts an investigation that takes Dahlia into two worlds. Will Dahlia find the one who is responsible? Read this story to find out. I love how the author builds two worlds, one that has humans and the other has supernatural creatures. There is plenty of detail given in the book and I felt like I was right there with the characters. Dahlia is a character that I have loved to read about since I read the first book. She is sometimes conflicted. She also is a character that shows emotion and cares about those she works with. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interact with Dahlia. Some of them are familiar as they have been brought forward from the other books. There are those who are helpful to Dahlia and those who have their own agenda. This story takes you on a journey that grabs your attention and doesn’t let you go until you have read the final page. It is a book I would highly recommend reading.

She is one that strives to excel in the training provided for her. I also enjoyed reading about those who work with Blackbird. Many of the characters that Blackbird interacts with have their own part to play and work to make the mission a success. Awesome storyline and amazing characters make this a book I would highly recommend reading.

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes was a book that had a little bit of everything. Romance, drama, mystery, tragedy and suspense, plus there was sports involved. I personally know absolutely nothing about Cricket which left me trying to figure out what was being said part of the time but my lack of knowledge didn’t cause me to not follow along and enjoy Mathew and Rose’s story.
Mathew is definitely the stereotypical athlete at least in public, he has been burned before and doesn’t want to put himself out there to be hurt. He has no idea how much he ends up helping Rose.
I really enjoyed this book and play on learning a little about Cricket just so I can understand some of the terms in this book and I’m going to assume any future books in this series.

Vermilion Lies by L.D. Rose a four-star read that will rock you. This is the third novel in the Order of the Senary but each one can be read as stand-alone, but in my opinion I would advise reading them in order as I have and I feel I have gotten the most of them this way. This is fast paced and brutal at times the pace is so quick, it will leave you breathless. This one will have you wanting to be violent to a certain character as well as imagining the brutal violence that this story is full of, but its also got heart that will surprise you. This has been a great series, and this is a great story.

Vermilion Lies was an awesome read! I loved books 1 and 2 in the series so I was really looking forward to this one and it more than met my expectations! The author definitely took this series to another level with the writing in this book! I was gripped from the very first page, it just felt like non-stop action and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough. Dax and Cindel’s story was completely captivating! It was dark and raw and I honestly loved every second of it. There was this immense passion between the two of them and some undeniable chemistry! There were some great twists and turns that kept me glued to this story from beginning to end. This book can be read as a standalone however I would recommend reading them in order. As always I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

Secrets are a dragon’s best friend. Deception is a close second. Both provide a sturdy armor, allowing half-dragon shapeshifter, Dahlia Nite, to live undetected among the humans. Walking in two worlds, belonging in neither, she wraps herself in a shroud of lies to hide in plain sight. But nothing stays hidden forever.
When dismembered bodies of multiple species are dumped on the riverbank, the case falls to Dahlia and Detective Alex Creed. Backed by Sentinel City’s new task force, the pair find themselves urged along by clues that seem too good to be true. Bouncing from one crime scene to the next, they hunt for a clear motive in a murky sea of conflicting evidence. Already on edge from the recent string of unexplained crimes, the city begins to unravel.
Drowning in missing creatures, slaughtered remains, masked men—and the search for her sidekick’s missing sister—Dahlia burns the candle at both ends. Seeking answers, she employs her empathic abilities, and uncovers something deeper and more sinister than a simple serial killer’s web. As the dots connect, and worlds collide, she struggles to shields her friends from the truth. But secrets can be deadly. And Dahlia’s not the only one who keeps them.

Sarah Andrews is one smart cookie. She’s a top-notch attorney, educated at Stanford and freshly fired from one the best legal firms in Indiana. Her love/win record is 0-3 and as she approaches her thirtieth birthday, she decides she needs a quiet, safe place to regroup. She decides to go home to Dodd.
But Dodd, Indiana is far from safe once she comes face-to-face with Richland Conrad Cooper. Rich and Sarah go way back to high school. Rich was teen-girl kryptonite—athletic, charming…persuasive—and Sarah was not immune. She fell hard, certain she’d found true love. But it turned out to be nothing more than the first of her love tries and fails.
She thought time had shored up her defenses, but one look at Rich makes her heart do flip flops. It’s like the moment where unrequited love gets a do-over, the only problem is…Rich doesn’t remember who the hell she is.
That hurt, and no matter how hard Rich tries to make up for that initial faux pas, Sarah won’t forget. She has learned—if a guy steals your heart, breaking his is quid pro quo.
Only when Rich is served with a custody challenge of his two daughters does Sarah call a truce. Working together, Rich can’t help but totally fall for her. She’s cold and rude, forcefully pointing out their differences and his flaws every chance she gets. But the heart wants what the heart wants, so Rich tries even harder to convince her she isn’t meant for any other guy, but him.

Suddenly, what appeared to be nothing more than a simple in-and-out could cost Dianna her life. When an Agency extraction is ordered, chaos erupts, and the question becomes, will anyone survive?

This author is awesome. I’m beginning to think there isn’t a book she can write that I won’t like! This one is a little different than her previous books but that makes it that much better. I devoured it and I want to get my hands on more! The characters in this book are fantastic. The chemistry is off the charts and the banter is great! The book was full of suspense and angst and man that cliffy was crazy! I cannot wait to read more by this author and I would recommend to a friend!!
