5 out of 5 stars

The story Swallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman is a book that I enjoyed reading. I found myself quickly drawn into the storyline and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the final page. It is the story of 12-year-old Rocky whose father has died. He finds himself changing homes and schools which both take time to adjust to. He doesn’t believe that his mother has told him all about how his father passed away. He becomes determined to find out the truth. With the help of a new friend, Olive, Rocky sets out to find the secret. How far is Rocky ready to go to find out the truth? Will it mean that Rocky has to take risks to discover the truth? Read this book to find out. This is a story that I found to have sad moments and I couldn’t help but empathize with Rocky and how he feels. Olive is a wonderful character and she is as determined to help Rocky. She is a good friend to him. The book has heartbreaking and heartwarming moments as well. It is a story that is also emotional at times. The author has written a story that is unforgettable and will touch your heart. I highly recommend reading it.

By JD Spero
5 out of 5 stars

The story Boy on Hold by JD Spero is a suspenseful mystery book. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The book is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. The story is about a violent crime that takes place in a small Adirondack town. Hen Trout is a young boy who sees the crime take plan. Tyler is the 17-year-old that is arrested for the crime and Marcella Trout is Tyler’s mother. What exactly did Hen see on that fateful night? Is Tyler guilty of the crime? Will the whole truth be revealed? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. With each chapter that I read, I found myself trying to put together the clues to what happened that night in 1991. You can’t help but feel for the Trout family as they are going through an investigation that brings forth emotions that each member of the family deeply feels. There are also heartbreaking moments as well. There are additional characters that interact with Hen, Marcella, and Tyler who are helpful, and then there are those whose motives I questioned. This is a story that will keep you guessing. I highly recommend reading it.

I cried throughout this book, frequently!!!! My heart shattered for Bailey and Cooper both!!! At times I wanted to just scream at the treatment of the characters. There were so many emotions in this book. I loved Bailey but the back and forth literally gave me whiplash. I am trying to wait patiently for the next book in the series. I just hope that it ends the way that I want it too…. I recommend this book but beware of all of the emotions and feels…. and definitely have tissues waiting close by.

Eat Me: Mayim Merman Book 1 by Amber Dark is a sweet and fun, hot and sexy story. It is a quick and easy read, so grab a drink and settle in for an afternoon with a steamy alpha. The story sends a message that you can be ok and your sexy self after a break up. The alpha in this story certainly had no problems indulging and showing women that they are worthy. Amber has not written a romance but shows there is nothing wrong with a casual hookup.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

And The River Runs Deep: The Cold Case Murder Mystery of Leah Marcus by A.J. Ullman is a fictional True Crime story. It has been cleverly crafted, that it reads as a True Crime novel. To say I love True Crime is an understatement, I am addicted to it and AJ’s writing did it justice. It had me spellbound with the mystery and suspense, intrigue and drama, angst and wondering. I was so consumed by and swept away by the story and the emotions that I soon found the book had ended.

This is a must on everyone’s TBR list and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Second chance romances are my favorite and this was no exception. Audrey and Silas had a crazy summer and then Silas left abruptly and Audrey was heart broken. 18 years later and Silas is back in town for a funeral and decides to try and find her again.
While I understand it’s a book and an escape from reality, this just happened WAY too fast especially with kids involved. That honestly is my only negative take away from this. Answers are finally given for all of the past they couldn’t say back then and it ends beautifully.

Eat Me (Mayim Merman series Book 1) by Amber Dark was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning. This was my first read from Amber Dark and I really enjoyed it.

Summer is a teacher who is trying to move forward from her ex, she decides to go out to a nightclub and this is where she meets Mayim. Mayim set’s his sights on Summer and starts to seduce her. And boy does he turn up the heat, I suggest not being in public while reading this book.

Mayim is a merman who likes to help women and pleasure them. Being with Mayim gives Summer the confidence she needs in her life and goes for what she truly wants. No more vanilla.

Overall this was a great short hot and steamy read. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I would suggest only 18+ readers due to content. 1-click and get started on this great read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A High Price to Pay, the second book in the Madeline Dawkins series is a fantastic continuation of Spouse Trap. I feel this book deserves a 4 star rating as I thoroughly enjoyed the book from start to finish, just as much, if not more than the first book.
I really liked Madeline’s character in the first book but her development throughout this book makes her even more enjoyable. I believe I mentioned in my review of Spouse Trap that the first book I read by this author was a completely different genre and I was truly impressed with the range of writing, the strength of storyline and the twists and turns that kept me invested. Once again Cynthia Hamilton has impressed me with the strength of her writing and I would recommend this series to anyone that enjoys a well written mystery.
