RicochetRicochet by Kathryn Berla
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ricochet by Kathryn Berla is a unique and interesting story. It is a fast paced story that is told from multiple points of view I really enjoyed how, even though it were essentially the same character we were reading about, the four girls were all different. I really felt a similarity about them while also see the differences.
The story itself was exciting although a little confusing at time’s. Once I had got a handle on the characters it was much easier to follow and everything fell into place. I thought the book was well written and really drew me me.
This is definitely a book I would recommend and I hope to see more like this from this author.

Fire & Ice (Spicetopia #3)Fire & Ice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fire and Ice by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Spicetopia series. Each book can be read as as standalone as they are all about a different couple.
These books are so hot and steamy and yet have such great characters and story development. This one definitely has to be my favourite of the series so far. I loved how different the two characters were from each other and yet at the same time I could see such similarities.
The chemistry between them was off the charts as well. The whole way through you could feel it every time they were together.
This is a brilliant series and I really cannot wait to see what else is to come.

The Rise of House Valdis by Naomi Valkyrie is a brilliant debut novel that for me is a must read by anyone who enjoys this genre.

Stars Fall From the Sky (Reigning Hearts #2)Stars Fall From the Sky by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stars Fall From the Sky by K.G. Fletcher is the second book in the Reigning Hears series. This book was so much more emotional that I expected it to be and it is the type of book that tears your heart to pieces but in all the right ways.
From the moment I started this book I knew that I was going to sucked in. I also figured pretty quickly to have the tissues on hand. The author has created such a beautifully heartbreaking story that morphs into so much more.
I have a read a few books by this author now however this one easily has to be my favourite. The characters and the story were everything and more. I fully enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

HopeHope by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hope by Seelie Kay is the fourth book in the Feisty Lawyers series. I do think it is worth reading the other books first as you will get the most out of this book if you do.
This author has created yet another amazing read. You are sucked right into Hope’s journey. By the end of the first chapter you are so engrossed by what is happening that there is no chance you will want to put the book down. The way this story is developed had me on the edge of my seat. I just had to find out how it was going to end and what would eventually become of Hope.
This series is absolutely brilliant and if you haven’t read it then I would recommend you doing so immediately.

Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller by David Stever is the second book in the Delarosa series. you can read this as a standalone however it is the same character as the first book so you will miss a lot of the character development. I would recommend reading them in order.

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King is the second book in the Chasing Tails series. You ideally do need to have read the first book before this one as it is a continuation is the same characters and their story.

Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas by Kadie Scott is the fourth book in the Hills of Texas series. This book can be read as a standalone.
As with all books I have read by this author the moment I started reading this book I found myself lost within it. The characters were fun to read about – the connection between Jennings and Ashley was obvious and it was great that they already had a friendship built up. I could easily see their interactions and found them all to be enjoyable.
The story was easy going and well written. It is the perfect lazy afternoon type book. The author does a great job a painting the picture of what is happening. This series has been entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable so far, I can’t wait to see what else is to come.

Matt’s Swirly World: Children’s Book by Madeleine Matthews – Review by Kerry Baker

Matt's swirly worldMatt’s swirly world by Madeleine Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Matt’s Swirly World by Madeleine Matthews is the perfect portrayal of the stages kids go through and how, as a parent, understanding these stages better equips you to deal with them.
I was unsure at first as to whether or not I should try this book. My little one is younger than the recommended age for children but as a parent I was drawn to the teachings it alluded to. So, slightly dubious, I decided I would give it a try.
My initial thoughts were that my little one definitely would not understand this, and actually even by the age of 3 I would still question if their level of understanding would be developed enough. For me it is perfect for kids of school age, who are going through a lot emotionally in terms of development.
However, as a parent this book hit every aspect. Although my little one might not understand it, I can still see how she is going through these emotions. It helped to conceptualise what she might be going through and brought me a whole new level of understanding on how to deal with. I am so glad that I gave this book the benefit of the doubt and it is one that I will definitely shelve for later when I know my little one will benefit from us reading it together.

The story was well written with a great pace to it. I enjoyed the variety of characters throughout too. This was a great book and I can’t wait to read more.

Falling For His Badass by Jessika Klide is a fun read that will let your easily get lost within the characters.
This book is the perfect easy read. The characters and fun and interesting. I often found myself amused by them. They were engaging and entertaining.
I liked that the story wasn’t too heavy at all. A lot of books nowadays tend to try and take themselves too seriously. The author however stuck to a fun and easy romance which I think makes this book better. This is the first hook that I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last.

Diamonds and Deception by Ellen Butler is the third book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery Series. This is a series that is fast paced and full of twists and turns.
You don’t necessarily have to have read these books in order although personally I think you will miss out on a lot of cha after and background development if you don’t.
As usual this book was engaging and interesting. I found myself trying to figure it out as we went along. I find it really easily to slip straight back into these characters, even if it has been a while since I read the last book. Ellen Butler really does know how to create an intriguing story with great characters. You should definitely give this series a go!

Run From Love by Teddy Cat Hester is a sweet book with interesting characters. I have read a lot of books in which the guys set the time limit on any relationship. This was the first time I had read it the other way and it was refreshing to see.
Scarlett and Nick were interesting characters and it was great to get to learn their story.
The story was well paced and overall enjoyable. I quickly found myself hoping that Nick would find a way to win Scarlett round. It was easy to fall into the story each time I picked up the book. It was packed full of romance that helped to pull you into the lives of the characters. This was a great book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman is the first book in the Journeys Through series. This book is detailed and intricate and so immersive that you will really feel like you are right there with all the characters.
For a debut novel this book really was outstanding. The book is so complex and detailed that I found myself drawn in and lost in the story instantly. This was the kind of book that as soon as I had read it I had to immediately start it again. The first time I flew through the story because I enjoyed it so much with the second reading allowing me to add in all the detail I missed the first time round.
From the moment you start reading this book you can feel the author’s passion behind it. This comes through in every aspect – from the characters to the overall plot. For me this only served to draw me ever further into the story. I am genuinely blown away by how captivated I was by this book. Anyone that is a fan of this genre should give this book a try.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Men of Holmby Hills: Chase by Allyson Simonian is the first book in the Holmby Hills Series. This is a quick read that is the perfect way to while away an afternoon.
Allyson Simonian is a new author to me and this was quite a nice way to be introduced to her work. Although the story itself I didn’t find to be overly captivating it gave me a great insight in to the type of writing this author favours. I found it easy to connect with the characters and though the story was well developed.
I do wish the story had been a full length novel. At times the book felt like it was slightly rushed and would have benefited from a more drawn out story. The characters would have had a greater depth to them. However I definitely enjoyed what I read and was never tempted to put the book down at all. This has certainly piqued my interest in this author and I look forward to the next book in the series.

To Kill A Fae by Jamie A. Waters is the first book in the Dragon Portal series. This book is exciting and fast paced and will leave you desperate to read the next book in the series.
This is a new author to me and yet when I read the description of this book I just knew that I had to give them a go. It was intriguing enough to draw me in before I had even opened to the first page. The story lived up to this expectation as well. I was enthralled immediately. Sabine is fantastic. I loved reading all about her – her journey, her powers, running for her life. There isn’t a single bit that I didn’t want to know.
The way the author builds up the plot is amazing. She knew the exact right moment to give you that bit of information and when to leave you trying to figure things out. The book was exciting and so well written. I definitely cannot wait for the next in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hitting The High Note by C.A. King is the third book in the Four Horseman Series. This is a fantastic series that I cannot recommend highly enough!
In this book we get the story of Uriel. Like the previous books this one instantly grabbed my attention. I was straight back into this world and the lives of the characters. This book is so exciting. It is filled with twists and turns the whole way through. I thought I had an idea of what might happen after book 2 however C.A. King has performed her usual magic and taken me on a completely different journey.
I love the way the author has combined the stories so that in each book we get more details of one particular sibling while also getting to know a bit more about the others. For me it has added a depth to the series that I think a lot tend to lack. This author has definitely become a one click author for me and I would urge everyone to give her work a try!
