Book Review: Askew Ever After: A Limited Edition Romance Collection
(Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne)
FIVE STARS
The only story in this anthology that I was interested in reading was Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne. Ms. Wynne is a new to me author and I had heard some really good things so I read her story in this anthology.
I truly loved her story. The families of Joss and Ben are amazing and so supportive of everything and everyone.
Everything in this story is sweet and clean and wholesome. I truly love reading a good clean story occassionally.

Book Review: Jordan’s Justice
Author: T. Christensen
FOUR STARS
Last year I read the first book in this duet, Breaking Tessa. I was really looking forward to this book so that I would be able to watch them get their happily ever after. Well, Jordan’s Justice picks up four years later and oh my. The lies and secrets and Jordan’s mother. Let me just say I am glad this was a book and I didn’t have to deal with that woman face to face. Jordan’s dad is the hero in this story for sure.
There are parts of this book that Jordan really disgusted me. I hurt for Tessa and all that she had to deal with.

Shifter story about a female Werewolf and her family. Meets a human male which is a HUGE no-no in the family.

Good writing and the underlying mystery in the story will keep you engaged. Alden Elway is a really good writer of shifter stories. A must watch for future books.

The Sound of SilenceThe Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Review: The Sound of Silence
Author: Dakota Willink
FIVE STARS

Dakota Willink is a wonderful romantic suspense writer. This book is no exception. This book has a trigger warning in the beginning and I highly recommend that anyone with these triggers avoid this book. However anyone who is a suspense lover will devour this book like I did. I picked this up and started reading and just couldn’t put it down. The Sound of Silence is a gripping story about a woman who is lead to believe that the man she has fallen in love with is someone he truly isn’t. On her wedding night she meets a stranger and they chatted for a while. Then three years later, Well no spoilers but you will just have to read the book and find out how their paths cross again and what happens.

I am not usually a Paranormal reader but the story line in the description of this book really intrigued me. I picked it up and read it all in one evening. It kept me well entertained and involved. Meeting the different characters and how they all blended and melded into the story line. Yes there is a romance blossoming in this, however that was not the focus of the story. You will meet a couple demons, a few witches a fallen angel or 2. Some kind of water creature and a shape shifter just to name a few. Very good story and I would love to read more from Ms. Valkyrie.

Bonds That Beckon (Daughters of Anubis #1) by Kelli Kimble – Review by Amanda Kimble

Bonds that Beckon (Daughters of Anubis, #1)Bonds that Beckon by Kelli Kimble
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 Stars

Bonds That Beckon (Daughters of Anubis #1) by Kelli Kimble

This is the first book I’ve read by Kimble. I will definitely be on the lookout for more.

Iris doesn’t fit in and isn’t comfortable in her new town. She doesn’t have any friends and isn’t making any. She meets Mr. Anu and he helps in more ways than one. The quote I chose for Iris is: “Mr. Anu has been nothing but kind to me. And it’s not as if we’ll be sitting around like regular houseguests. He has plenty of work to do around the farm and no hands except for me. Daddy and I can help outside, and Mother can make meals and clean and properly stock his pantry.”

Jacob is someone who can relate to Iris. He doesn’t fit in and when his sister tells him about Mr. Anu he doesn’t believe. Things make him see light once he meets Iris. The quote I chose for Jacob is: “I can’t tell you. But it’s gonna be great.”

Highly recommended for paranormal lovers.

Wendigo Forest is a YA Paranormal story by C.A. King and is everything you would want in a short story. It is full of fantasy and myths that are well written and fast paced. You will be brought along on the adventures that Clara experiences and discovers.
Thank you Ms. King for well developed characters who become realistic the deeper you get in the book. My only complaint is that it would have been amazing if it had been longer so that we could have gotten even more in depth and close to the Fawns.

A very different read for me. I am more of a story type person and this book was more of a self help type book. It is full of short quick reads to help you slow down and not overlook the small things in life. Maria DeBlassie is a new to me author and I did enjoy this as it is so totally different from my usual.
There are so many different things to take away from this book. You can pick it up and just skip around to whatever suits your needs at the time or you can read it cover to cover. You don’t have to worry about missing anything as each short section is different.

I am a fairly new reader of KG Fletcher books and I can tell you she does not disappoint with sweet romance with a twist of real life tragedy. I can’t wait to dive into more from KG Fletcher.

A story of finding love when you aren’t even looking for it. After a wedding dress is passed down to her, can Jamie resist the temptation of trying it on?
This story follows Jamie and her two sisters through a remarkable time in their lives. Single and very independent and career driven, Jamie has decided she will not marry and will not lose her independence. But does life hold something different for her?
This book is really good. I totally enjoyed this first book in the series and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Race has in story for us in the second book of this trilogy.

Talk about book hangover. The sequence of events in this Rock and Roll Romance Suspense will keep you turning the pages. What KG Fletcher does in this story is draw you in and make you a part of this story. You are now the new best friend of Casey and you are there watching and wishing you could just stop these events but alas. You are only on the outside looking in. Parts of this story were predictable but at the same time you are hoping that your gut is wrong.
This story is fantastic and Sam is a SUPER man. He is wonderful in all the right ways and his love for Casey is eternal.
Great story. Really emotional!

Sweet romance. This is the first book by Nicole Flockton that I have picked up and it will not be the last. A quick read, Ms. Flockton pulls you in and keeps you until the very end. Big city business woman is assigned a job in small town Texas and she is not too happy about it for a few different reasons.
The last several chapters of this book when everything is coming to a quick end are definately my favorite moments. I really enjoyed the characters and the depth to them. Ms. Flockton really got you to understand who they were and what was on their minds.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Review: Shooting Star
Author : Xana Jordan
FIVE STARS
Xana Jordan draws you into the Rock Star/Manager relationship world. I think there could have been more drama in this book from the beginning to the middle, but the love story this book contains is wonderful. There are a few sexual encounters that leave you wanting even more. Over all a very good book. It does end with somewhat of a cliff hanger and you wonder what comes of Aria and Aiden as well as River and Levi. There are no hints of future books with these characters but HOPEFULLY Ms. Jordan doesn’t leave us wondering for too long.
Ms. Jordan is a new to me author but you can believe I will be reading more.
