Professor Valentine: A Student-Teacher Contemporary Romance Novella (Kirk University Book 1) by Diana Vale. This is a new to me author but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more. This is a short read as stated and I still found myself enjoying it just as much as longer reads. At first I had a little trouble connecting with the characters but that was short lived and when we found our groove I was definitely hooked. The characters are complex and the storyline is well written and paced nicely even though shorter I still got everything I wanted. Four stars and highly recommended.

I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue by Laura Koerber. This book stole my animal loving heart. This isn’t my usually reading but I simply pass it up. This book was definitely well written. Daisy is just one of the many animals out there who have hard stories to tell. I found myself of the verge of tears more than once. As an animal lover it’s hard to hear or imagine what they can be put through. I found this book to be full of great information and that’s what the world could use more of. The cover is also another reason I picked this book up it’s definitely a beautiful cover. I’ll definitely be giving more thought to these types of books as we could all use more information in our lives. Four big stars and highly recommended!
