Jake the Growling Dog Shares His TrailJake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jake the dog and his squirrel friend notice some different tracks during their latest romp through the trails. The two soon let their imagination get away with them and that leads to them fearing the unknown. When Jake’s friends come to visit, they help him figure out just what could have made the different tracks and face his fears.

This is a sweet and cute story. It helps to show that something different or something new is not something to be afraid off. The story moves at a nice pace and the characters are relatable and likeable. I like the way that is shows children that those with disabilities or those that are different in any way are nothing to be afraid off and they are the same as everyone else. It is safe to be their friends and have fun with them. Also, nice to see the dog who is different being proud and not hiding the difference. This is a nice book that helps to assure children about all these things.

Human Hearts (Draco Sang Trilogy Book 3) by Mary Beesley – Review by Christen Ware

Human Hearts (Draco Sang #3)Human Hearts by Mary Beesley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A multiple-POV masterpiece that encases everything that a fantasy reader hopes to encounter: raging battles, the fight for a crown, and a love that defies all odds. The Draco Sang series has been one of beauty, strength, tears, and perseverance. Suza and Ferth, Jade and Tobin, and all of the characters that warmed this book with their witty banter and sharp skills. They have earned a place as much loved characters, and it is a shame that this appears to be the last of the installment as I would have loved to see their development further.

This story pick up in the heat of battle and follows each of these characters as they face hardships that most do not even imagine. Their decisions and quick wit leads them on periodically intertwining paths that encourages the story along in a fast-paced read without feeling rushed. It leads the reader through the multiple lives and personalities to match as the story continues. This book was a lovely refresher because most fantasy tends to hint at similar themes and occurrences. But this? A work of art that is both a palate cleanse and a lovely book to get a reader out of a slump. The characters were easily loved and my emotions always seemed to match alongside their ever changing ones.

A very, very great read.

Bound by Grace (Grace Series, #0.5)Bound by Grace by Carsen Lane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound by grace is the prequel to Caging Grace by Carsen Lane. This is a small novella that can be read in a quick sitting. It sets up the beginning of Graces’ story by showing the love that Liam and Aggie had. You are given a lot of backstory for each main character and it gives a little more insight to what you will read in Caging Grace. I love the introduction to Liam, Aggie, Carl, and Mason. The only downside is I wish it was a full novel so we really got even more of Liam and Aggie but that’s just my selfishness lol. You can easily read Caging Grace without reading this one but why would you:)

Queen of Hearts (Heels, Rhymes & Nursery Crimes Vol. 21) By Natalina Reis – Review by Stephanie Chapman

Queen of Hearts (Heels, Rhymes & Nursery Crimes, #21)Queen of Hearts by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mimi Mioyo is the star of this dark fantasy story set in the late Victorian age. As an abused woman, she had sought safety with Seree, the woman who provided shelter for women under the guise of a gentleman’s club. They had dubbed Mimi the Queen of Hearts. She would play a card game, with a night in her bedroom as the prize. She would purposely lose, and when the man arrived in her bedroom, she would offer him some wine laced with poison. Only, she didn’t kill the men. She hit them below the belt, literally, as the poison would render them unable to achieve an erection permanently.

Mimi needed more herbs to make her poison, but becomes alarmed when her normal supplier doesn’t arrive. Jacques “Jac” Tourville tells her he had bad luck and that Jac would be her supplier. Much to her dismay, Jac shows up at the gentleman’s club and plays the card game. He wins and follows her to her room. However, Jac has no intention of drinking anything, nor is he wanting to have sex with her. Instead, he offers her something much more sinister.

This is a short story of revenge on vile men who cheat and abuse women. Mimi was a type of vigilante, but there are always holes in every plan. Jac turns out to be the hole in her plan. I recommend readers who like strong female characters who also are not innocent to read this book.

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove Book 1) by Shannon Nikole – Review by Allison Davis

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove #1)Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was so easy to fall in love with the characters in this book. Ellawyn had gone through so much, and she really had to stop and figure out how to take care of herself, at the same time she was learning how to let people back in. Beckett was such a gentlemen throughout the whole story, he never once pushed Ellie, but always made sure he was there for her. And of course we cant forget about Benji. He might have been my favorite. He took Ellie in when she first arrived to town, and of course introduced his grandson Beckett to her.

TW: domestic abuse, stalking

I think the recovery one has to go through when they are a victim of abuse is very difficult to understand let alone write about and i think that Shannon did a great job. She was able to showcase Ellie’s fear in a way that was understandable to someone who has never experienced abuse in their life. How to can be hard to move forward, but even when you do you might still have a set back from time to time. Its just one more thing to work through.

Will definitely be reading more from the author and I cant wait for Quimby Grove #2.

Body Checked (Astoria Bay Thunder #2)Body Checked by C.J. Cartwright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Body Checked by CJ Cartwright is book two in the Astoria Bay Thunder hockey series. Though part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone but I PROMISE you that you’ll want to read the first!! This story follows Tia and Bridger. Let me tell you, this book was hot and delicious. Tia had some rough teen years that are coming around to bite her at every good thing that happens. Bridger is a playboy famous hockey star who needs to clean up his act. After what should have been just one spicy weekend together, the pair cannot deny their attraction and it turns into a give and take game of should we, shouldn’t we. Let me help, THEY SHOULD. Hands down an awesome pair to read about, so fun and flirty with relatable attitude. I’m itching for a book 3 to find out who will be next. Send some thunder my way!

Love is Worth Fighting for (The Meraki Series Book 3) by Effie Kammenou – Review by Angela Shirley

Love is Worth Fighting forLove is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

All Krystina wants to do is travel the world and be a famous blogger but when her Loukas her childhood nemesis decides to go along with her, as she goes through, she has no breathing room as he is constantly with her all the time. When they discover challenges long the way the most unlikely person helps her through Loukas.

So, when Krystina takes on the challenge to find her grandfather will they uncover the secrets of the past and locate the lost family member or will they be dragged into problems they never envisioned.

This is the third book in the series and follows the third sister Krystina, although this can be read as a standalone story it would be good to have some of the crossover from the first two books as back story but is not necessary. As always, the story is well written and with the twists and turns in the story will keep you turning the pages to the end.

I loved the character of Krystina in the other stories, and I think Loukas is the right character to compliment Krystina although at first, she does not think so. The emotion and the turmoil in the story follow brilliantly and you feel the journey as if you are there with the character along the way. It is lovely how the relationship is a slow burn and that the reaction of finally realising that they are destined for each other is lovely to read.

I can’t wait to read the next book.

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Uhhhhh-mazing!!! The best of the series. Steamy. Emotional. Fantastic. Wonderful. Brilliant.

This is my favorite of the series so far. The story made me feel all the feels and heat. Kenzie and Jonas had a rough start that ended in disaster. After a decade apart where each had rebuilt their lives, they have a chance meeting. Kenzie is one of the many chefs vying for a position as a head chef in one of Jonas’ new hotels. The fire, the spark, the desire, the emotions, the connection is all still there but they just can’t stop hurting each other. Once again, ending in disaster.

When Jonas finds Kenzie after she disappeared from their latest disaster, it looks like there could be a new beginning. The last secret that Kenzie had been holding onto surfaces causes a rift that might be impossible to come back from. Third strike for the couple. It could be their last. Are either willing to try again? Can the last secret destroy more than just them? Can they move past their history of hurting each other to finally find love?

The author finds a way to throw in more twists when you think all the twists have been undone. I love this series. I loved Conveniently Yours, but this one is my favorite. Everything about this story was great, from the prologue to the epilogue, I was hooked on each word. Fan-dam-tastic. I haven’t read a single thing by this author that has disappointed. Looking forward to the next Titan (again!)!!!

Vive la ResistanceVive la Resistance by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first two books in the series, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story development as well as the character development between the first two books and this one! As always the author crafted together a wonderful engaging story, with everything I love about their writing!

Donovan and Shirley are facing the dilemma at hand, and at the same time raising their kids and giving them the best life possible. What would that consist of in a perfect world? Perhaps living free, and not fearing of a law broken for well, living your life! A decision for war was made, and Donovan and his wife knew what was on the line, meaning they may not make it. I found this character development very commendable. Despite what they could lose, they cared more on what they could gain! This book brought on a lot of feelings, a lot of action, hardship, and of course suspense. I was not sure what would turn out as I turned the pages. The author is very gifted at all that they do! I was engaged and wanting to know more, the author doesn’t give away what could happen, they keep you in suspense and to keep reading. I seriously love this series and the writing of this very amazing and gifted author!

I loved the first two books and I highly recommend reading those two then reading this one for a good story development . I loved this one truly as I do this author. I highly recommend this series, this book, and this author! All are must reads. For sure, not ones to be passed up! Truly a remarkable read!

Love this author and all the writings and books that they create! I loved the first book in the series and now this is the second one. I could not help but fall head over in love. I swear this book truly scored a touch down with my heart! There was so much to this book, it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

I loved watching things progress and what they were between Tia and Bridger. I loved how it was not smooth sailing at first glance There were things between them, that went well, quite deep actually. I really felt for them at different times. I felt emotions, happiness, anger, all at the same time on various occasions. I loved the sports aspect to this book as well. I love when romance mixes with sports, it brings to realism out and helps the story play out! I loved the writing, and the descriptive use on the words the author had used! This book was impossible not to love. I am so glad I got to enjoy it! Loved it!

Amazing book that everyone should experience in my humble opinion! I could not get enough of this book. I seriously am squealing with delight as I type this! A must read book! Highly recommend!

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in a fantastic contemporary romance series that I have loved every book so far. Book 4 is just as good, if not better than the previous three, all of which were 5 star reads in my opinion.
In this series we are getting the stories of 5 guys who are named as the Titans of Manhattan, all successful billionaires in their chosen fields. This time we are getting the story of Jonas Courtland, major hotel developer who has absolutely no inclination to join his three friends in committing to just one woman. Well, that is until Mackenzie Broderick comes back into his life. Mackenzie is the preachers daughter who he seduced at high school as part of a bet with his friends. Little did he know just how much his actions had changed her life.
I loved reading Mackenzie and Jonas’ story. It’s quite angsty, which I love. Watching Mackenzie, who is determined to hate Jonas, fight the feelings she still has for him, makes for some great reading. I was really gripped by their story and hated real life for getting in the way and making me put this book down.
We still have one more titan to go in this series and I can say that I’ll be very sad to see this series end. I’ll just have to read it all again sometime.

Between Darkness & Light (War of Destiny #3)Between Darkness & Light by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the War Of Destiny Series and I loved it. The author does such a good job with the story and the characters. The story had me totally gripped and spellbound through it all. This book deal with some dark emotions such as guilt, regret, despair and at times complete helplessness.

Julie is back. After her actions from the last book we find her being shunned by her vampire family. If that wasn’t bad enough she also has to deal with the guilt for the loss of some of their people due to her actions. She sees no way through this and when she starts to see and hear people who aren’t there things get progressively worse. While she is dealing with theses feelings and the fear she is going mad, Samuel goes missing.

He is devasted by what has happened and when he disappears Julia knows she needs to find him and fast. Will he accept her presence? Will she get to him before its too late?

Add to this the dangers of the Hunters that have arrived and when one of the Hunters looks familiar to Julie this raises more questions.
Once you start this series you won’t be able to put it down and this one just adds to the already amazing series

No Pistol Tastes the SameNo Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is heavy, and may have intense trigger warnings for those that suffer from PTSD. That being said, this was a book that I could not put down. No Pistol Tastes the Same is about PTSD, a very real and very intense illness that many of our war vets come home with. The synopsis of the book reads “Sergeant JP Grimm didn’t pull the trigger. Now his Marine brothers are dead…” The intended target of that bullet? A child. A child in a suicide vest that eerily reminds him of his very own son. A moment of hesitation, and the bomb goes off, leaving his entire team deceased around him. After the split second that cost him everything, JP must go home, and pretend war never happened. He tries to bond with his son, who he keeps seeing in that young boy so very far away. JP struggles with his own thoughts, denial, and grief, and you (the reader) will be taken on an emotional rollercoaster.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book three of the series. What a fantastical ride it is. Julia must work with her ka-tet to help her, even with them lacking faith due to her working with Valentino in the last book. Julie and Matthew must save Simon, battle apparitions, and help a rogue vampire. There is a lot going on in the story. This is why it is so good. I was pulled in from the beginning and just couldn’t put it down. I had to continue to know how things were going for Julia. Her loyalies are being tested every time she turns around. She’s seeing things. The plot has a couple of choppy spots but you can get through ok because it still goes together fairly smooth. I loved how the author tied the characters together but life wasn’t perfect; there were still problems. Fun book that I recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great addition to the series! Plenty of suspense, mystery, hidden identities, and a bit of sensualness thrown in! With the focus on family, old and new, the stakes are higher now that Ciarán and Caitlin have children, reopening old wounds from Ciarán’s past. The power of the goddess is shown to those who know what is going on, but the group of people who know about Ciarán and Aodhán is growing and that can be dangerous. I enjoy reading about the strong bond between Ciarán and Aodhán and, just when I thought we were done with them, there will be more! I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one!

I loved Bridger and Tia’s story! I had a feeling that I would when they were introduced in the first book. The fire between them was palpable, and they couldn’t stay away from each other. She was damaged, and he was trying to change his image. They were so good together no matter what they had to go through to get to each other. It was supposed to be just one weekend of fun, but will their no strings weekend be enough for this steamy duo?

The Mastermind : A Brother’s Best Friend Romance (WaterFyre Rising Book 1)

I am once again amazed by a first time author and their debut.  I was hooked from the very beginning and had a hard time putting it down.  I dropped my kindle on my face a few times because I had to keep going.

This book had a little bit of everything and several twists that I didn’t come close to expecting which may have made me enjoy it that much more since so often books can be predictable.

Remington and Audri are more than perfect together.  They had a lot to deal with, more than the normal couple to get to their moment.

The sparks were flying from my kindle as I read the beginning of Grayson’s house warming party, the description of the car was perfectly detailed and just wow.

There is so much more I could say but won’t since most of it pertains to certain pivotal moments.  What I will say is be ready to be surprised,  there is nothing typical about this book.

This is an author I will be looking forward to reading again in the future.

Oliver: A Story about AdoptionOliver: A Story about Adoption by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book primarily focuses on issues faced when a child is adopted. The child always tends to think that if he/she were with their real parents things “could” have been better.
Oliver lives with his adoptive parents, and one day, after getting scolded by his dad on a silly mistake, he goes into his room and sulks if things would have been better if he was with his real parents. Would they have scolded him? Or would they have loved him better.
But then he comes downstairs with his parents baking cookies and being very loving to him. They are very understanding and tell him that the emotions he is going through are normal and they have to work out a solution with love.
This is a book which will sensitize children on the topic of adoption. It is tackled in a subtle and gentle way. I quite liked the book.

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paisley Grace is not having good luck. Her mom is in a coma after a terrible accident, bills keep racking up, and her paintings are not going to be displayed much longer. All she wants is for her mom to get better and her art work to be seen by the people. Her luck is turned around when she runs into an old time friend who happens to be one of the Titans of Manhattan. Caspian Archer is not the same beaten down little boy he used to be. He is the acting CEO of Archer Industries and he does not want to change his bachelor ways. That is until his uncle gives him a choice. Either get married or he is never going to own the company. He is livid about this but then runs into Paisley, who could use the help he can offer her. Will their marriage end after the contract is up or will they truly fall in love?
This book is so good. I feel that a lot of people can relate to Paisley when she is going through her hard time. And even though most cannot compare their lives to Caspian’s lifestyle, I think they can relate to the inner battles that he deals with. Romance, deception, and witty.

They were completely different but sometimes those are the best couples together even if they fight it. And the banter between them was great! I am definitely going to go back and read the first book in this series. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything because this book can be read as a standalone but i liked this book enough that I want to check out this authors other books! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romance read!
Happy reading!

Victoriously Yours (Titans of Manhattan Book 4) by Anise Storm

Victoriously Yours is the fourth book in the Titans of Manhattan series. Holy Heck what a ride! This book sucked me in from the first page and there was no stopping until I finished. I’ve read several books by her and each one gets better and better. I highly recommend reading this series in order as each book is about a different Titan and the characters overlap plus you get to read about hot rich sexy men.This is Jonas’s and Kenzie’s story and what a ride. These two are so different yet the same. They went to high school together where a bet turned bad you can say . A decade later Kenzie finds herself in a competition for a chef position at a restaurant in a building owned by the one guy who shattered her heart back when they were in school. These two will take you on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride and there may be some things that may be a trigger . I absolutely loved reading this book as I was patiently waiting for Jonas’s story. I don’t want to give up to much. So I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Can there past be forgiven? I can not wait for the next book in this series.

This first book in thr Jake series is just a cute introduction to the adorable dog, who growls with everything he does. I love the authors use of rhyming and I love that her messages are all about being kind to yourself and to others. Each book has a message and exercises at the end that you and your child can work on together. I think that any child up to 6 and 7 would love Jake book.

It was a beautiful detailing of his life and is so special for those who need the validation of the experience. A useful story for those in similar situations

I love the Jake the Growling Dog series! Jake is a sweet dog who growls with everything he does. This book follows Jake down his favorite trail, where he notices unknown tracks and a scent that scares him. He gets himself all worried about who the tracks could belong, imagining zombies and giants and other scary monsters. And in the end it turns out to be a newfound friend. Love how the author makes the rhymes feel so smooth. Makes me miss Dr. Seuss. All of Jake’s books teach great lessons in their stories and have cute little exercises at the end that you can do with your child.

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm

A playboy, with a past that explains so much and makes you want to cuddle the man until the world comes to an end. I have read three of the four books in this series thus far, and by far, this one is my favorite. Their past holds so many emotions, good and bad, and ones that hold on for the entirety of their lives, but I suppose I will let you read and find out what’s to come from Jonas and Kenzies’ reunion.

This author has yet to disappoint me when it comes to character development, pulling at heartstrings, and bringing the story to life and before the reader, the story ends, because it’s just that worthy of a binge read. I will be reading this series, and specifically this novel again, as mental health is huge in today’s society, and I don’t think anything helps more than to read of those that also are coping with them, be it within literature or in real life. It’s also nice for this author to remind folks that it’s not just those that struggle that struggle with mental health issues, rather they aren’t picky, they affect everyone. Well done, and you know I’ll be highly recommending this read!

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this author and her ability to make one want to feel the love that vibrates off these pages. I have enjoyed getting to know the Titans of Manhattan thus far, and I have to say, the fact that Mason has made it his life’s goal to provide the women that work for him safe and protected in their lifestyle is incredibly inspiring and though it’s a work of fiction, the way that he does so makes me so happy. I know that in real life it’s still quite difficult to find a spot where you are well taken care of in that line of work and not have to worry about one’s personal safety.

I also love that Rhyann proves that just because women elect to work in that line of work doesn’t mean that they don’t have a side story and that being a dancer is hard, in all aspects of the job/lifestyle/career. What really made me smile was the way in which Rhyann and Mason come together and show their vulnerable side, at first with difficulty, and then the way it just comes naturally. Read to find out how naturally it comes! I very much look forward to the rest of this series, as these stories just seem to get better and better. Well done!
