Percy’s Brides (A Double Trouble Romance) by Ivy Hart – Review by Kerry Baker

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I first started reading this book, I wasn’t sure if it was going to turn out that the MC had a choice to make, or if it would turn out to be a MFF book. The description did a great job of leaving just enough breadcrumbs to pique my interest without giving away too much. When I started reading it was easy to connect with both the story and the characters and I was pulled into the story with ease.
I enjoyed the dynamics between the characters. It was interesting to watch how things played out and I can’t say I was ever sure how things would end up. This is the first book by that I have read by this author but I enjoyed it enough to say for sure I will be reading more!

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash – Review by Mary Espinoza

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What does every busy career woman want…. just a brief moment to themself, and unfortunately Elinor can’t seem to catch a break! This is the question Elinor seems to be asking herself as she and her friend Charlotte head to the countryside for a few days of r&r. It seems to be that Elinor finds herself in a predicament and that is when a funny…. not so funny thing happens on the way to this place of rest and relaxation. Elinor finds herself in a situation doing what she does best, getting into other people’s business to try to solve the mysterious death that has fallen in the path of her restful days.
Elinor finds an irritating individual in her way and the Duke is making sure that he tries to solve the mystery before Elinor has a chance to!
Byrd Nash is a new author for me, and she didn’t disappoint one bit! I found myself lost in the world of Madame Chalamet’s mystery. Apparently, this is volume 2 in the series, and I wasn’t lost one bit with the detailed descriptions that Byrd put into her writing. I definitely plan on going back and reading the first volume in the series and I really look forward seeing what else Byrd brings in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries!
There is so much more to this book, and I don’t want to post any spoilers, so why don’t you pick up a copy and find out for yourself what happens!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This lovely story is about sorrow, heartache, and loss but is also about everlasting friendship, travel, and adventure. It has to do with suicidal ideations but also finding one’s self and place in life. Two friends, Kate and Lydia, help each other find their way back to life in a harrowing and also heartwarming journey together. Anyone who has ever found themselves at a crossroads or even what seems like a dead-end in life will be able to relate to the emotions and sentiment of this story. It’s a good reminder that life is not always sunshine and rainbows, but it’s the people we have alongside us that make the journey worth it. Grab your box of tissues and settle in for this wonderfully written story that will grab you and whisk you away for the ride. I highly recommend this book and this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this fantasy fairytale romance story. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy this author’s writing style and her ability to make her characters come to life on every page. This book is no different. It is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous book as well. This is a well written story that is full of romance, fairies, angels and mortals. This is a story that has a lot going on but the author did a great job of keeping you engaged throughout. I enjoyed how the characters pulled you into their world with ease and kept you there with them to the end. They are connectable and truly add so much to the story. They have great growth throughout which make the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story and one you don’t want to miss. It is a must read! What will happen when all these characters collide? I highly recommend this book and this author.

Homicidal InnocenceHomicidal Innocence by V.J. Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

About halfway through this book, I thought I had the killer figured out, but I was wrong. There was so much more to it than what I thought. I was maybe 1/8 right, but what a twist in the end. Then that ending, geez. It leaves so many questions and now I need more, I need to know what happened next. It does keep you on your toes.

Besides being a thriller, it also has some romance involved. I do like how the main female character isn’t described as being like most main female characters. She doesn’t look like a supermodel but the men and some women she comes into contact with become infatuated with her due to her caring and loving nature as well as what is described as a “heavier curvy woman”.

This is the 4th book in a series about 4 brothers and a younger sister, Lynn. It can be read as a stand alone, but I think there are a lot of things that come together from the first three books in this one. This book was my favorite out of all 4. It’s the story of Lynn and Joey, a baseball player from a local baseball team. They have a rough start to their relationship, but they find each other and the banter is off the charts. They have the greatest chemistry and it’s fun to see where they fit into the entire family dynamic. Definitely a must read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Libby has been in the town no more than minutes it seems like but who would know that her toaster would catch on fire and cause a storm. Who knew that this is a thing, not her. When the fire brigade comes to the rescue all she can do is feel embarrassed and angry.

Zach turns up to a woman in Disney Pj’s shouting about no-one told her about the secret of toaster fires and how dangerous they can be but all Zach thinks is she is adorable and really wants to get to know this woman. But can he charm her to go out with him or have to jump through hoops?

This is a quick lunchtime read that was light and just a lovely story. The chemistry with these two characters jumped off the page and was just wonderful to read. I have read a few books by Isobel and this one does not disappoint, can’t wait to read more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who doesn’t love Manda’s MC romances? I always do. There’s usually some undercurrent of trauma, strife, and the usual MC shenanigans, but I was wholly unprepared for the emotion behind Helo’s character in this novel. Chaz was your typical overprotective, alpha, MC member but he totally changed his whole persona to make him seem less threatening and easier for Helo to come to terms with her PTSD while realizing she still had so much life left to live, with him he hoped. I finished in just a few days because I didn’t want to stop reading it. You also get a little glimpse into other characters previous stories as well, for example Storyteller, I really liked his story as well, and what happened after their book ended. Overall a very enjoyable, emotional, quick read.

This was quite the adventure. My grandson and I read this. He had a lot of questions about why they were training, etc. We love these stories. They are fun and they teach so much information. The pictures will gain your child’s attention. I really enjoyed how the story incorporated real challenges into the story and made them seem like normal events and how they were handled. A wonder addition for dog families.

Moonlight Drive by A.R. Hadley – Review by Angela Shirley

Moonlight DriveMoonlight Drive by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dani’s life as a child was hard, the abuse she encounter was not for young eyes or ears but her saving grace was finding Nick. New to the neighbourhood but wanting to protect her and then becoming more than friends in the end, until one day Nick decides to move away promising he will come back for her but will he fulfil his promise and come back to rescue her.

Nick is lost in a world were his mother is the neighbourhood bike and constantly pushing him and mental abuse of constant being not worth anything. The only person who loves him and cares is Dani but he needs to prove himself and to make something of himself, so he can provide a life fitting for her but as life goes on and he gets caught up in the world of celebrity can he remember the one person who loved him for him.

This is a story of lost love and friendship, where no matter how hard you love someone it maybe just not enough sometimes. I loved the split story of being back when they were young remembering the simple love they had but then the heart-breaking story of the adult side of the relationship.

The chemistry was brilliant and the characters just pulled at my heart with the journey they both need to go through to eventually come together but it was a rocky journey to get there. The secondary characters just enhance the story with the compassion they have towards each other.

This was a beautiful story and I was crying happy tears in the end, can’t wait to read other books by this author.

This book does have a Trigger Warning right up front. 8 short stories dealing with some crazy phobias. As I came on here to type up my review, I noticed that the author grew up reading King. Oh, do I feel that in the stories. I grew up doing that too. The creep factor is off the charts. I have to say that I loved every minute of it. When I’m reading a horror book, I want horror, creepy and a bit disturbing. I feel like I got it all. I want some more from this author. New to me and I’ll be looking.

One Quarter Villain is a wonderfully written YA Fantasy that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. I absolutely love the cover I can’t stop staring at it. This is a fun fast paced YA Fantasy about Maddy. She’s always following the rules and making the right decisions. That is until her seventeenth birthday. Her grandmother gave her a DNA test . Oh things she discovered from that one test will amaze you. Maddy now has to decide what is the right choice now? I don’t want to give anything away so I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. This may be aimed for kids ages 10-18 but others will enjoy reading it just the same. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Opposite Day For Dinopotamus is the third book in the Dinopotamus series by Lois Wickstrom. It’s a fun children’s storybook, with cute (naïve style) illustrations that help to ‘teach’ children what ‘opposite’ means, giving many examples.
Dinopotamus and all his classmates learn to do the opposite of what the teacher says. Having a bit of an adventure along the way.
This is a very quick and easy read. My grandson loves dinosaurs and he enjoyed the story.
Happy reading.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5 – 3 Stars

 

Flying At Recess by Lois Wickstrom is a cute children’s fantasy story with a ‘flying adventure’, friendship, school recess fun, and interesting & colourful illustrations.
The illustrations are really cute and beautifully colourful – bringing the story to life. They really held my grandchildren’s attention.
We follow Soara as she takes to the skies during recess at school. Her friends Lulu and Zanie get a bit worried when she hasn’t returned by the time they need to be back in class. Will Soara make it back safely?
The story was cute, even if it doesn’t make much sense to me – as no ‘reason’ was given for Soara’s ability to fly. Was she daydreaming? Or does she have ‘magical/superpowers’? And if she does have ‘powers’ why not take her friends along for the fun? Why leave them behind? I just felt like the story was ‘unresolved’- but my 3-year-old grandson and granddaughter seemed to like it nonetheless.
Happy reading…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first read this book I was a little leery sine I don’t read MM very often, but I’m really glad I picked up this book. The chemistry between Gilgamesh and Enkidu was absolutely beautiful. It is by far my most favorite LGBTQ+ book to date. The healthy polyamory that is depicted between Gilgamesh and his wife Shamat and her relationships made me absolutely weep for joy. Those two are a forced to be reckoned with. I have never heard the story of Gilgamesh, so reading this book was very interesting! Although that cliffhanger at the end???? Definitely took me out. I loved, and laughed and absolutely wanted to throttle the characters a few times in the book, but what good book doesn’t make you want to do that? The word and character building was phenomenal and I can’t wait to see how it ends!

The big bad wolf is the least of her worries…
Breaking free from her homeschooled cocoon, Lily is ecstatic to head off to college. She’s waving goodbye to her mom’s doom-and-gloom speeches about the big, scary world, ready to embrace freedom without a care.
George is every girl’s dream—funny, smart, and handsome. But he’s still wrecked by the mysterious disappearance of his high school sweetheart. He yearns for closure but wallows in self-pity, pining for his lost love.
Sparks fly when Lily and George meet, and their mutual attraction is instantaneous. But George resists their electric connection and retreats. Frustrated by his repeated rejections, Lily is ready to walk away for good.’
Behind the scenes, an inexperienced fairy godmother teams up with an annoyingly handsome and arrogant guardian angel to stop Lily from ditching her true soulmate, George—a potentially catastrophic decision. While they debate their strategy, an enemy from George’s past devises a greedy and revengeful plot that could destroy everything. Can George save Lily, or will he suffer a lonely future—this time, forever?
When fairies, guardian angels, and mortals collide, anything can happen.
While this novel is a complete tale in itself, delving into the first book, Ashes, will enrich your understanding of the characters and their journey.

Owen is a man of many talents, and few words. Little did I know the grumpy contractor would be the one to make my grieving heart beat again.

Owen
Adeline is a force of nature. Even after everything the beautiful widow has been through, her bright demeanor is like basking in the sunshine.
When I agreed to help with her renovations, it seemed like the neighborly thing to do. As days turn into weeks, I find myself falling for her.

It’s a quick, fun ready that’s super cute. The character development is done flawlessly. Ted and Stephanie have amazing chemistry. I enjoyed the fact that the main characters learned life lessons along the way instead of just looking for romance. This book is a must read!

Another great read by a favorite author! My favorite thing about this book (ok, so there are 2 things) is that there is a person in a wheelchair featured. It’s rare that this is seen in a children’s book but so very important as it opens up avenues for conversation. My second favorite thing about this book is the hand drawn and colored illustrations. I feel that it makes this book more authentic.

Dinopotamus is going to school again today but it’s “opposite day”. The teacher instructs everyone to the opposite of what she says. At first, it’s a bit confusing to Dinopotamus, but then it becomes more enjoyable.

A fun way to teach opposites!

Opposite Day for Dinopotamus was another fun children’s book by Lois Wickstrom. I always admire this author’s ability to craft a fun story while instilling knowledge. While reading this with my daughter, I remembered the childhood joy of insisting it was Opposite Day and giggling when someone said or did something ridiculous. This was a fun way to teach opposites and enjoy some great illustrations.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While this was a bit different from other books I have read by this author, it was still incredibly well written and enjoyable. I like stories that center around rockstar romances, so this one was right up my alley. Little did I know that it was also heart-wrenching and would have me in tears. It is definitely an emotional rollercoaster but one I would still go on knowing what lies ahead. Our two main characters loved each other as kids and after reconnecting finds that all isn’t as it seems. The addictions portrayed were realistic and painful, as well as the heartbreak. While I did want to shake some sense into the characters sometimes, their development was still well done. It goes to show that everyone has flaws and makes mistakes. I recommend picking this up if you enjoy books with hard truths, dramatic scenes, and life-like portrayal of complicated emotions. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!
