The Mating CallThe Mating Call by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As the first book in a bre series by an author I always I always enjoy I knew I had to read this. Especially as it is the first book I have read about mountain lion shifters, which I found to be a nice change from the norm. I was pulled straight into this story and the characters. I wanted to find out more about them as they both had such histories.
I thought thr story itself was well written. I engaged with the story and thought it was a well developed book. This is an author that never disappoints and this book is no exception.

A Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash is a brilliant story that felt so original and refreshing. I absolutely loved how the author created this this of the three siblings with with interesting backgrounds.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlikely To Fit by Ashlie Knapp is the second book in her Parker Lake series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although I would always recommend reading book one first.

Breckin has it all – a great life, great husband. Moving back home is the icing on the cake. Until her perfect husband leaves her for someone else. Broken, and struggling to pick up the pieces Breckin has to find ska way to start over in a town where it is impossible to stay anonymous.
Griffin is used to people looking at him and thinking they know everything. The bike and the tattoos portray one image. However underneath it all Griffin is nothing like his persona. Still grieving from the loss of his girlfriend he concentrates in looking after his grandmother and running his bar.
When Breckin and Griffin start to work together the attraction between them may just be enough to start to heal them both.

I loved reading about these characters. They were so well suited. The story grabbed me from the start and I found that I flew through this book with ease. This series as a whole was the first from the author for me and I am excited to read more.

Kingdom of Embers: Extended Finale by Tricia Copeland is the first book in the Kingdom Journals series. This is a fantastic Paranormal YA book and a great start to a new series.

I thought the main character was a breath of fresh air. She was relatable and engaging. I really enjoyed delving into her story. I wanted to know more and felt like we took the journey with her.
This is a brilliant start to a new series and I can’t wait to read the second book.
