Double Delight: The Complete Series by Julie Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Double Delight is a combination of two great stories that are the perfect escapism romance. I really enjoyed both of these books. They were quick and easy to read, the kind of books that are made for those lazy afternoons set aside for reading. I thought they were well developed and engaging. I wanted to know what would happen and I enjoyed the stories the author created.
I thought the characters in each book were highly entertaining. They pulled me into the stories and I connected with every one of them. They each fit perfectly with their own story and made them both distinct from the other. This is a great collection that I would definitely recommend.

Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the second in the series and a great follow up to the first. I enjoyed reading the first one but I think this one is even better. I connected more easily with the characters and found myself invested in them so much more. I loved watching their story unfold and I thought it matched the two of them perfectly.
The story was again such a well written one. This author really knows how to create an enjoyable story that draws you in from the start. I love her writing style. It has an easy flow and moves the stories on naturally. This is a great book and I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Trusting Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 1) by Julie Navickas – Review by Kerry Baker

June 24, 2024/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Kerry Baker

Trusting Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the first in a new series and is a book all about the connection between the main characters. Each had a past that they needed to overcome so they could move forwards. They were obviously well suited even if they were clearly going to have to find a way to let everything go and it was great to watch them do it.
I though the book was well written. It was engaging and entertaining. The author managed to add a lot of emotion to the story which added another layer to it. I have read a few books by this author and they are always enjoyable books. This is a great start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next.

Flying at Recess by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What another lovely and heartwarming story by an amazing author. As with all of her books, we were hooked in this one straight away. My kids both loved the idea of being able to fly around while on a school break. It was such an exciting prospect to them, they spent the next 10 minutes trying to fly! My daughter in particular was really taken with the idea of flying with butterflies!
This is another fun, engaging and well-illustrated story by an author that is a favourite in our house.

I really enjoyed this story as well. This author has such a skill at matching the story perfectly with the characters she has created. It was entertaining, full of romance and just really well written from start to finish. This is a brilliant book and an overall fantastic series.

Catch a Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Kerry Baker

Catch A Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is such a lovely follow up to the first, although it can be read as a standalone. It is a slow-burn, clean romance story that centers around two great characters. Age-gap romances aren’t usually my favourite, usually because they feel like the whole story is about the characters ages. This book however didn’t feel like that. It felt like the story had been developed regardless of the age of any character which meant I was able to connect with it really easily.
I enjoyed the overall story of this book. It is a quick and easy read that was perfect for getting caught up in for a few hours. It is a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to the next.

This book is a brillaint opposites attract Romance story that is exciting and action packed. I loved reading about TB and Sylvan. Although they are completely different from each other they have such obvious chemistry. Their connection caught my attention and really pulled me into the story.
I loved the fact that this book wasn’t just about the romance. It is a fast paced story that was intriguing and easily kept my turning the pages. This author really knows how to create brilliant stories. I have never read one of hers that I don’t like and this one is probably on of my favourites.

The Silent Forest by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a follow on from The House on the Hill. I would highly recommend reading these books in order to fully understand and enjoy the events of this story. As soon as I started reading I was pulled right back into these characters and everything that happened. This story is just as gripping and exciting as the first book. I was completely caught up with everything happening and couldn’t wait to see how things would play out. I was never fully sure where the author would take us next and that for me made this book even better to read.
I loved seeing the character development from the first book into this one. I really felt like I got to know them even more. This whole series is such a thrilling read and I would highly recommend it.

After how much I enjoyed the first two books in this series, I could not wait to start reading the third. This book is the perfect example of the amazing work I have come to expect from this author.

Second Glance by A.E. Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book forms part of the Serrulata series, although it can be read as a standalone. However, I would definitely recommend reading all of them to get the most enjoyment! This book is a tale of forbidden love and the perils the main characters face when they navigate this. The overall story is exciting to read. It spans over a number of years which allows the story to really build, even though it is only a novella.

Oscar and Emmy’s First Christmas: An adorable Christmas story of two kittens enjoying the holidays. Christmas cat book. by Terri Sabol
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed all of the books that form part of this series so far, but I think this one must be my favourite so far. Partly, this is due to the fact my kids enjoyed it the most, with the Christmas theme to this one. They loved following the adventures of Oscar and Emmy during the festive period. It is also partly because of the images in this book. The whole series has been full of vivid and brilliant illustrations but the ones in this book are just incredible. They really bring the whole story to life and reinforce the festive feeling this books holds. The book was fun to read, and it one we have already read multiple times. We are all looking forward to what else is to come next.

This book is another fantastic addition to the adventures of Oscar and Emmy. I really do enjoy the way that the author tells these stories through the eyes of the cats, and how entertaining she makes it. It perfectly engages the intended audience with a fun yet educational story.

Percy’s Brides: A Double Trouble Romance by Ivy Hart
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!

It has been a while since I have read any of the books in this series and this book did a fantastic job at reminding me just how much I enjoyed it.

The Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a fun yet educational book aimed at kids. It looks to teach them about different animals in an engaging and entertaining way. One of my son’s favourite things to currently do is to “boop” noses so I knew this would be a hit even before we started reading it. He loved the idea of doing it to animals, as was fascinated to learn about all the ones in this book. The enjoyment he got from the book made it even more fun for me to read. This is a brilliant children’s book that I would highly recommend.

This books is such an unusual and intriguing collection of stories, focused on different phobias that are a little more strange. This book has an intense feel about it and I found myself more than once on the edge of my seat. I loved the way the author approached each story and the way it was framed for each individual. The whole book has a great flow about it and I found myself more drawn as the book went on. This is the first book that I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last.

This book is a great tribute to Agatha Christie and provides an entertaining murder mystery story. I really connected with the characters of this book and for me, they are entirely what it is about. I loved watching them try to figure everything out and all of the references back to such a classic murder series.
The author has a great way of telling the story, of allowing it to develop in a way that seems so natural. I found the whole story to be intriguing and enjoyed trying to work out what was going on. The book caught my attention easily and held it right to the end. This is a story definitely worth reading.

I never fail to be excited when I see a new book by this author and this one is no exception. As with all of the others I have read, it pulled me in right from the start.

The Handshake Agreement by A. Akinosho
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book isn’t quite what I expected it would be when I first started reading. I thought it would be the typical second chance romance and yet this story seemed to have so much more about it. the age gap also wasn’t quite the gap I was expecting and I actually think that made it better for me overall. I connected with the characters more and felt like I really became invested in their story.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed the writing style used. It had a natural and easy flow about it that just pulls you in slowly. I found the story to be engaging and I thought it was one of those that is easy to read as it flowed so naturally. This is a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Purrfectly Framed: A Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having just read the first book, I was excited to see what book two would hold for Molly and her feline companions. This book is just as good as the first one and I loved Molly possibly even more. I couldn’t wait to see how she would navigate her way through this new mystery and I was not disappointed at all.
Books like this are definitely becoming more common and yet this author has created a series that will definitely stand out from the market. They are funny, entertaining and hold enough twists and turns to keep you engaged and wondering what might happen. This book was thoroughly enjoyable and I can’t wait to see what is next in Molly’s adventures.

Brushed Up on Murder (A Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery, Book #1 by Ruth J. Hartman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fun and entertaining murder mystery story that is definitely made even better by the feline help the main character receives. Molly was brilliant to read about. She was the perfect lead for this kind of story.
I enjoyed how the author introduced enough characters who could be the suspect to keep it interesting. This kind of story I usually find quite predictable when it comes to guessing who is responsible but there was enough mystery involved, with a few twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I am going to read the next book straight away.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an interesting tale set in US revolutionary war. The main character is the one who makes this story. Despite everything she goes through, she shows strength and has so much about her. For me, she is what pulled me into this story. I connected with her before the main storyline and wanted to see the kind of journey she would go on.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it has certainly left me intrigued. Overall I think the story would have benefitted from extra development but I enjoyed what the author had created.

This book is the kind of thriller that has you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. The story felt explosive and it pulled me in from the moment I started reading. I loved how the author weaved in the political aspect to the story, it made it so much more relatable in today’s world.
I really connected with the main character. She has already preserved through so much in her life and suffers through so much more during this book. I wanted her to find happiness so much and yet the whole way through this book I wasn’t sure how things would work out. The author has created a gripping story that I could not put down until I had finished it.

Dinopotamus Goes to School by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even before we started reading I knew this book was going to be a hit in my house simply because it involved a dinosaur going to school. They both absolutely loved the idea of a dinosaur joining in with classes like all the children. I think they were both a little disappointed the next day when once didn’t turn up in their class.
This author has created yet another brilliant and engaging story that captured the attention of all of us. Although her books are not aimed at my age range I definitely get just as much joy from watching how much my kids love them. I think this one has to be their favourite so far and I might just have to agree with them.

From the moment I started reading I found this book to be original, fun and such a refreshing read. The idea that our blood can be used to detect whether or not we are a villain is a fascinating idea and this author has created a brilliant story from that.
I thought the characters matched the premise of the story really well too. I became invested in their story and found them to be engaging and relatable. I have read other books by this author and I can safely say this one is my favourite so far!

Moonlight Drive by A.R. Hadley – Review by Kerry Baker

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

This book is not at all what I expected when I started reading it. As this author is one that I tend just one click now, I didn’t read the description or the reviews before diving in. What I expected to be a famous musician romance actually turned out to be an angsty, rollercoaster of emotions set in the 80’s rock scene.
The author has really managed to capture the hardships of the industry and that era, combining that with some flawed but intriguing characters. I wasn’t sure the entire way through how things might turn out in the end but I definitely enjoyed the journey I was taken on. This is a great book by a brilliant author.
