Book Four ~ Fallen Soul Let me start by saying that this book is a little different than the rest of the War of Destiny Series, and is written from another character’s point of view. This is a POV of the Third Installment, Between Darkness and Light. It has been decades since Lane Marlow was condemned and found himself on the run. The Vampire King Valentino has ordered for poor Lane to be killed on sight, which has made his life on the run even more difficult. He finds himself missing the home he was forced to flee, and begins to make his way back to Ireland, only to be found by his pursuers in Rome.. As Lane continues fighting for his life, he finds himself in the midst of a new group of vampires, ones that don’t treat him like a deadly stigma, and ones that live side by side with humans. Will these new vampires be another obstacle for Lane to overcome, or will he find allies where he never expected?

Book One ~ Lost Soul Let me start off by saying YES. Just so very much YES. If you love historical, paranormal, adventure, and a touch of romance, this is absolutely the series for you!! Julia, our main character, comes from a flourishing family in 16th century London. Her sweet love is turned sour when she is forced into an unwanted arranged marriage, and she finds her life spiraling out of control. But what happens when someone offers her a deal to take back control of her life, and the ability to fulfil her desires? Even if the cost is throwing her life into a completely new kind of chaos?
This is a beautifully written book, and I highly suggest taking the time to read!!

This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories. This is an enemies to lovers story with revenge. Ethan is seeking revenge and pulls Siena, who is innocent in everything, as his pawn in his twisted plans. Ethan and Siena’s relationship is not what Ethan intended. This whole series has such great characters.

This is the first book in the Central Florida Stories. I found it very intriguing. This is a story of love and revenge. Joe wants revenge on Hunter for the Dear John letter she sent to his friend who commuted suicide by combat. Hunter has secrets that cause her to push men away. Things do go exactly as planned for Joe after he devises a plan for revenge. I loved the way that the characters developed in this story.

How beautiful and serene is this cover !? When you look at it , it feels like you are sitting with each of the characters and you’re listening to their story you feel their heartache and anguish ….
What really hit me is that this story is loosely based on true events and that in fact there really is a policy where children under the age of 2 were in fact on parents laps and in case of emergency they had to be placed in the floor .., I know as a mom I’d want to cling to my baby and ensure that he / she feels safe in my arms I cannot even begin to imagine the anguish these woman went through …
So we follow the story of the 3 survivors , 20 years later . Julie , the flight attendant . Paige , the only baby to survive . Marie who survived but her baby didn’t and has blamed Julie for her loss .
We follow how each of the survivors had to deal with remorse , regret , resentment , grief and trauma . While there is alot of sadness there was also healing , redemption , forgiveness and moments where I wonder if I could walk away like these women did … this is one of these reads I want every woman to read 📚❣️
I have read the whole series to War of Destiny, none of the books has disappointed. The author really blew me away with this story. This isn’t usually my typical type of books I read, but I loved them. The world building and characters was well thought out. The details was on point. There wasn’t unnecessary details. I can’t wait to read more by the author!
Between Darkness & Light is the third book in the series. Each book I got into, each one got just that much better. They were a page turner for me. This one was full of adventures. I never knew what was gonna happen next. That made me continue to read because I wanted to know what happened next. I highly recommend starting with book 1.
Lost Soul is the first book in the series. I really loved the whole series. Lost souls had amazing world building and characters was well thought out. You can tell the author took time writing this series. Each book was very unpredictable, which kept you reading because you wanted to know what happened next. I highly recommend reading the whole series!
Pursuit into Darkness was another great book in this series. This is the second book and it didn’t disappoint. The details was on point. The world building and characters was well thought of. This book was a page turner for me. It had me wanting to know what happened next.
Wow! What an amazing read this was. I read this book in a day. Fallen Soul will grab your attention from the very first page til the last one. The world building and characters was well thought out. This book was very unpredictable and it makes you wanting to know what happens next. I highly recommend you checking out this series. I also recommend starting with the first book before reading the rest!

Country music isn’t very big where I come from but I really wanted to have the ambiance right when I read this 😉 so thanks so the internet I had my tunes and ready …set … go 🫶🏼
Having read the first 2 books in the series and knowing Hank had a story to share I couldn’t wait to get into this read well that and I love visiting Langston Falls and it’s people ❣️
Hank and his band had music since high school days and they were pretty good they even recorded in studio but it was more his dream than that of his mates and they eventually go their own ways leaving our Hank feel a little despondent….
Ella-Mae our cute daisy duke , flip flop wearing beaut is just a ray of sunshine and when she bumps into our Hank things get interesting …
Hank is at a concert and sort of drowning in his sorrows when he gets bumped into by the adorable Ella-Mae and our boy Hank’s life is about to change and I must say despite the fact that he may be 2 sheets to the wind he’s real charming 😉
Did I mention Ella-Mae is the little sister of Travis Miller ?! Oops 🤣😉when she drops it on Hank she’s humble and every day about it ….
So Ella-Mae invites Hank to join them in the rest of their tour and I loved watching them discover each other , their music and their time together and yes Travis had me worried and angry at times but it couldn’t steal anything from these 2 beautiful people 🥰 I loved every moment of being around them ❣️📚

I am loving this series! We learned a bit about how Zara and Noah met but now we get to know the inner details and what really happened and why.
These 2 just were an explosion waiting to happen but also Zara brought in her insecurities of never having been in a relationship and what happens if you get hurt. But Noah was perfect and was exactly what she needed.
Not only do I love Bree Kraemer but also the premise that made me laugh at how cute it is that I had to get it.
Heath Bailey is a professional baseball player with a lot of loving friends and family. His team also won a championship. The only thing he does not have is the attention of the girl that he likes.
In his efforts to see her, he adopts a dog from the local shelter.
Grace Dyer, the woman that Heath is trying to get the attention of, was not a big fan of him when they first met. She helped organize an event at the animal shelter and thought Heath to be cocky and arrogant. Seeing him again, her view on him has changed but she doesn’t believe that a relationship between them would work.
With this hilarious premise, how could I not read it? I knew I was going to be in for a treat and I was not disappointed. The meddling family aspect was great and the relationship between Grace and Heath just made me swoon.
This part of a sports romance series. I do not read this series much, though I do enjoy them whenever I do. Books do not have to be read in order, however, after reading this, I plan on reading the previous books.

The dedication had me smiling and pouring a glass of Chardonnay to begin my journey “ Dedicated to wine . This series exists because of my love for you .” 🍷🥰📚❣️🤣
Laurent and his family have been running Vine Valley for over fifty years and if memory serves me right Laurent would be 3rd generation to run it alongside his siblings , I love his heart and how he wants to honour his grandpa and his legacy ❣️
They all seem to know their place and things run like a well oiled machine , we’ll mostly because life isn’t perfect 😉 Laurent = Sales and he’s got a serious knack for business and has taken the vineyard to new highs
Rhone is assistant winemaker and a bit if a free spirit
Nero is a real flirt and I think he could charm a nun out of her habit 🤣🙈
These boys are a good bunch and each brings something to the party and they’re just awesome !
Now Phoebe our blue green eyed blonde beaut was fortunate enough to grow up with this lot but her bond with Laurent was different and they made a pact to marry each other if they reached the ripe old age if 40 and were still unattached and when Phoebe marches in to lay claim to their pact I pour myself another glass of nectar of the gods (wine)🤣let the games begin
Phoebe has a strained relationship with her family and when het stepsister is getting married she needs Laurent to save face and he agrees but he has 1 condition to this agreement and Phoebe thinks she’s fine but Laurent isn’t an easy man to resist ….
I laughed hard , I cried even harder especially where Phoebe really opens up to Laurent I just really felt Phoebe there and yes I even got angry for many reasons , there were so many emotions going through me while reading about Laurent and Phoebe and their road to their own HEA …. Every page was great and every sip was mighty fine 😉

I just loved the dedication “ Dedicated to those who never got to say goodbye. Because the living is left to them “ this really hit home for me as I lost my mum and a very dear friend and I never got to say goodbye and I’d like to think I’m living my life in a way that honours them ❣️
Tessa met Simon on a Boeing 777 heading for La Gaurdia from Boston and it was an instant click …. I can’t really explain it but watching it unfold was magical
Tessa being an author lives life and what it throws in our way through the eyes of others , she observes and her writing is a mix of reality and fiction ….
Simon is a committed scientist dealing in facts so these 2 amazing peeps are like worlds apart yet they’re perfect for each other ❣️
They meet sporadically across the world over the years and what starts as stolen moments soon deepens and Simon takes a bold step but then tragedy strikes and my heart shatters for everyone involved , I stopped reading for a day just to pull myself together and once I gathered myself I dove back in and what an emotional rollercoaster it was and oh so beautiful 😍
Simon and Tessa fought hard for their happily ever after and what a privilege it’s been to be part of their journey ❣️📚

Brace yourself for a laugh out loud kind of read and these are characters that become friends ❣️📚
Bailey and Dayton are brother and sister . Bailey has flaws and Dayton has taken it upon himself to “ fix” her flaws which I get to a degree but at the same time I just want to clip him around the ear because live should be unconditional. Bailey works at a frozen yoghurt / ice cream parlor called Froyo , her work friend Marnie has a “ gift” she believes she can match up couples by their choice of frozen yogurt, ice cream and toppings and while I think she may have a magic touch she really had me in stitches at times and she’s a really good friend to Bailey 🫶🏼
Then there’s our local odd ball Tanner who I should say is a good reminder of do not judge a book by its cover , he’s actually a real sweetheart and quite easy on the eye 😉with a heart of gold and one of my favourites ❣️
When the parlour is in trouble they all stand together to save it , which says alot about our little Froyo family and it’s visitors ❣️
I loved that words like “ nincompoop “ are used 🤣I enjoyed copious amounts of frozen delights and their adds ons 🥰 and Bailey I love you just the way you are ! You are uniquely you flaws and all x

When I first meet Angelo he just won my heart , this was my introduction “ Watching someone you love get their heart broken time after time and not being able to take away their pain is crippling.” I could identify with him as a friend and as a parent I’ve been in this position but there’s so much more to this beautiful person ….
Angelo fell in love with Lucia at a very young age and their lives have been intertwined since childhood, they’re always together at school and at university but Angelo is older than her so his first and foremost role in her life is protector so naturally she wants him to be her first but he turns her down but girl his heart is in the right place 🤔🥰
Angelo has the voice of an angel but instead of following his heart to have a career in music he goes into the business world of accounting and he plays music on the side 🥰
Life throws Lucia a curveball and she heads home and home is not a place but a person Angelo receives her with open arms and is ready to walk a difficult journey with her … there’s loss , love , tears and some very real moments 🫶🏼
I loved how the families mould together and the love and support shared amongst them , I did get frustrated at times with Angelo and Lucia but the road to HEA is never going to be easy it 🤔 I loved every moment of being part of their journey and I’ll warn you in advance , keep the Kleenex stock on hand and make sure you have some comfort food ❣️📚😉

One of my favorite parts of The Misery House is the story is told through various characters seamlessly, alternating chapters telling their side. I don’t enjoy true horror, but this book hit just the right bone-chilling feeling.
In my mind, the house on the hill was akin to a haunted house and the setting fit the story perfectly. The characters are diverse, from a baseball playing kid to his older sister, whom has a friend in an interesting relationship. Then a new family moves to the same town, and the discussion turns to family and community bonds. A page turner, and I really enjoyed reading to find out what happens to New Haven.

I absolutely LOVED this story. It is the sweetest small town romance. I love the town and the description of each of the residents. Especially the small town busybody who really kept me laughing throughout the story. She is such a small part but the parts that she was brought up really just made me laugh. I loved Annie as a character and watching her develop was absolutely amazing, her relationship with her siblings really was something that I loved. I loved how Mitch is with his sisters as well. Watching her overcome the trauma she has from her ex was really a character arc that was so relatable. Craig is an amazing character who had the most development and growth throughout the story. I absolutely loved their development as a couple. I highly recommend this book and this series. The author creates a wonderful small town world that makes me consider moving to Montana to find this small town life.

This is the fantastic start to a brand new Mafia series. It contains the perfect elements of what will become an absolutely fantastic series. It contains an absolutely unstoppable alpha in Salvatore. Partner that with Serafina being the foil to her mafia family. She wants to undo all the damage done in the only way she can. She wants to be a doctor to heal. Their paths cross and that is where the best part of the story starts. This definitely contains the best mafia parts – secrets, revenge, love, violence, twists and turns, and everything else I’ve come to expect from a good mafia story. I definitely cannot wait to see where this series goes and if Salvatore and Serafina’s story continues in the other books.

I took the time to read and review this book and I have to say that it is a good book for young children to learn about self care. I really like how the author is able to bring the subject to life for the audience she chose. The character is fun loving and is easy for children to understand. If my children were younger I would have definitely got them this book. I highly recommend this book for kids as everyone needs to learn how to take care of themselves.
This is such a wonderful children’s book. I love that it introduces children to Israel. I definitely can see myself incorporating it into a holidays around the world activity. Or even during any of the many lessons that I teach about diversity. This really is an amazing picture book that I feel should be in all classroom and family libraries. I love that it uses colorful illustrations to show children a part of the world they may not know much about or ever get to experience first hand.

This is such a fantastic book! I love the illustrations and the message that the author is trying to convey to the reader. Hudson is such a kind helpful boy, he helps his family with literally anything they need. However, one day he doesn’t feel like helping and instead builds a fort. His family tries their best to make him feel better. I truly love how this story is getting across the importance of self-care. I feel that this is an area that is not explicitly taught but that children will benefit from seeing it modeled through the story and through the adults around them. This book provides an excellent example of what self care is and what it looks like. I absolutely recommend this for classrooms and family libraries!
This is the second book in the Rock Star series and is 247 pages in length. This story follows Maria, a wealthy divorcee, and Oz, the hot guitarist. Maria heads out to be with her sister. But her sister is in out of state planning a wedding. Oz happens to be watching over the house and allows Maria to stay there. Maria has to be at the wedding and Oz kindly offers to go with her. From here, things start to get complicated!

Ethan and Siena are from different places in the same world. Fashionista closeted masochist and mafia family club owner find each other in strange circumstances. I love stories like this because it shows that love can be found no matter where you are in life and what culture and environment you’re involved with… and I’m not gonna lie, but the chemistry is insane between these two.. I am grateful to be able to read this story for myself.

Ladies of the Links #2 is the second book to this series by Haley Rhoades. While I did not read book 1, it was still easy to dive into this story and enjoy the storyline between Christy and Ryan. It was obvious from the intensity of the beginning that this story would be filled of passion and regret, and it only grew stronger as the story progressed. I absolutely enjoyed it. Christy was a joy for me from the beginning as a favorite character. I loved the writing and absolutely recommend. Perhaps would be even better if reading book 1 first. But either way, definitely worth it! Writing and plot was spot on!!

This is the first book in the Berrycreek Heights series and the first I know of from this author. Please be aware of the triggers before reading this book as there are themes present which may not be suitable for everyone.
This book is dark, but I loved it. It was written well, and the plot is different from anything I’ve read recently. It has stayed with me even after finishing it and I’m sure it will be that way for a while. It’s suspenseful and has you unable to tear your eyes away with the need to know what happens next. There were points I genuinely didn’t know what the outcome would be and I was so emotionally invested, I wasn’t sure I could handle it. This book was able to play on my emotions more than I initially expected and I’m so impressed by that as although I get emotionally invested, I don’t usually get physically emotional in the way this book affected me.
I can’t wait for the second book of the series is it’s going to be even half as good as this one.

M. Porto – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
Julia is a young woman in appearance, but in reality, she is a vampire and albeit she is young in comparison to others, she has had to endure more than most. It is well known that vampires gain abilities as thru age, but Julia instead struggles with a feeling akin to madness, but all that changed when she was confronted by something impossible and this is where the truth became known and finally, accepted.
After all that happened in the build up to when she betrayed the Resistance and her ka-tet, between hearing voices, seeing apparitions and realistic dreams, all the trust her group had built up was destroyed and Julia has been trying to make up for it ever since. They all thought she was delusional and so did she, but this harm went deeper than anyone initially realised, so when Julia is at her most defeated, the light finally shines through and help is sought from another group of vampires who can hopefully teach Julia about her gift, the ability to see and hear the dead, something which hasn’t been seen in centuries and would explain why Valentino was able to take the advantages which he did.
This is when it finally looks like life can get back in track in a manner of speaking and when the Resistance find out that Julia isn’t insane, they want proof, but will Julia be able to master her gift enough in the time frame they give her, or will Valentino come to throw another spanner in the works? This is another fast paced installment into this paranormal romance which is full of action, adventure and vampires galore as you race across countries, as time runs out and complications arise to detail any attempts at normality.

While this is the second book in the series, it isn’t necessary to read the first to understand the plot. Annie moved to Marietta after heartbreak with hopes of starting over with a B&B. Craig comes to Marietta for his cousin’s wedding and much needed rest. As the story unfolds, Annie and Craig’s chemistry builds as they figure out their feelings for each other. The characters in this book were relatable and fun. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/56267508-jasmin”>View all my reviews</a>
