Enchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Kerry Baker

Enchanted in TimeEnchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has to be one of my favourite books by this author so far. I loved the story and how well the author developed it. The bond between the two main characters was so convincing and real. It was lovely to see it play out over the pages. The book was full of twists and turns. You never quite knew what was going to happen or how things would end and I liked that the author kept ne guessing. This is a brilliant book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend it.

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail Order Bride by Debra Parmley – Review by Kerry Baker

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail-Order Brides SeriesIsabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail-Order Brides Series by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is quite a quick, sweet romance about Isabella and her journey. So much has happened to her that you find yourself wanting her to get a happen ending. I found myself really connecting to her as a character but not so much to Mr Jenks. I didn’t like how he came across. I would have also loved to know more about the stranger on the train as he definitely intrigued me.
This is an overall enjoyable book that was a great way to pass the time.

This is such a great story and it is one that reat comes to life via the audio book. I really think Emma’s personality shines through and it feels like you are seeing everything through her eyes. I kept loving track of the time when I was listening to this book and I had listened to it all before I knew I was near the end. It was a great.bpok to read but and even better one to experience.

To be a Fae Guardian (Realm Chronicles Book 2) Audio Book by Tricia Copeland – Review by Kerry Baker

I love being able to follow up a good book with the audio version so I was excited to get to read this one. I thought the narrator did a great job of bringing the story and the characters to life. They made them feel so much more real and I could visualise everything with ease.
The story still felt just as exciting as when I was reading it Ns even though I knew what was coming I still felt like I was surprised anew. I really enjoyed this adaption and hope to listen to more of this authors books.

Levi (The Brothers of Creekside Ranch Book 1) by Edith Mackenzie – Review by Kerry Baker

LeviLevi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a contemporary romance story with a bit of excitement thrown in for good measure. This story had a bit of everything you could want from this genre – great characters with a strong connection, a sweet and believable romance as well as bit of action for entertainment. I thought the two main characters worked really well together. There was push back from both of them in the start but the bond between them grew into such a strong connection.
I thought the author did a great job with the supporting characters too. Everyone added to the overall story nicely. The book was well developed and a truly sweet romance. I am looking forward to more from this author.

Burned by Fire (Firehouse 13 Book 4) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Kerry Baker

Burned by Fire (Firehouse 13, #4)Burned by Fire by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a pretty enjoyable short story. It is quite a quick paced book due to its length but it was easy enough to get in to. The boom lacked a little bit of depth, which at times I felt could have easily been added without losing the novel feel to it, however it soon picked back up again.
The characters were easy to connect with and fit with the story well. I liked that we got to see things from the dual perspective and for me that made the book. This is a quick and easy read that is enjoyable from staff to finish.

I knew this book was going to be emotional going into it, and I wasn’t wrong! This tale is both heart breaking and heart warming at the same time.
