More ThanMore Than by Diane Barnes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a very emotional story for me to read because I related to Peggy in so many ways. I have struggled with weight and self confidence and also becoming a mother and losing my identity. This story covers an issue which isn’t really discussed which leaves women feeling alone and like it’s just them going through it.

Since losing her husband Peggy has been working hard to raise her twins and carry on with her life. As the time has gone on Peggy has lost herself. All she sees herself as is a widow and a mother. Everything about her such as her confidence has gone and over time her weight has increased making her more unhappy.
With her children leaving for college she now had the task of readjusting her life. Maybe now is time to think about herself.

We follow Peggy on her journey from a unconfident mother who has lost her identity to a beautiful person who is a mother but also so much more than that.

Murder on Oak Street ( A South Shore Mystery Book 1) by I.M. Foster – Review by Kerry Carr

Murder on oak streetMurder on oak street by I. M. Foster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve really enjoyed this historical crime story. It is a story that grips you from the beginning and doesn’t let go. I loved the main character Daniel. He’s a very smart determined man and when he senses something is wrong he is determined to not let anything stand in his way of the truth.

Daniel is a coroners physician. He is fed up of people not taking him seriously and his opinions not counting. He also doesn’t like the way that murders are swept under the carpet and not investigated. The final straw comes when he is left at the alter. Taking this as his sign he leaves New York and heads to Long Island.

This could be just the change he needs. A slower pace and a job where he is taken seriously. However the pace changes when he is asked to investigate a case from 2 years ago and when there is links between this case and his first case in New York Daniel starts to wonder if they were committed by the same person.
Could there be a serial killer out there or is it just coincidence? When another murder happens Daniel is in a race against time to solve this case.

This story is gripping, full of twists and turns, danger and mystery. I love how the author incorporates history and themes of the era which really brings the story a sense of reality.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy story. It was a great read and reminded me of the days when I would have sleepovers with my friends. The author does a great job with the characters. Each one is an individual but they always work and look out for each other.

The Final BiteThe Final Bite by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great quick read. I have loved every boon this author has wrote and this is another one to add to that list. This author does an amazing job of making paranormal romances gripping and captivating. Even though this is a short read the story feels complete and not left unfinished or like its missing parts as some short stories do.

Quinnlan has been give the opportunity of a second chance at life. The catch is he has to find his mate within 3 days. The additional snag is there is no second guessing or changing his mind once he has made a choice.
When he first meets Garrett he is in a bad way after being beaten up by a wolf pack. Quinnlan has a choice does he save his life and in doing so accept him as a mate or does he let him die? What will be Garrett’s reaction when he find out the consequences of that choice and can Garrett really be Quinnlan’s mate or he is the wrong choice and Quinnlan’s signed himself back into purgatory?

Malayeka (Heartstrings Book 3)Malayeka by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book is the Heartstring series and i really love these book. Each book is filled with romance and fun as our cupid helpers aid their humans to find love. But the path to true love never runs smoothly as evidence in this story.

Malayka has got her next assignment. She needs to help this couple realise that they are meant to be. Leo and Billie have been friends for years but can’t be anything more. Even their friendship is secret.
The reason for this is a fued that has run between their families for generations and this fued means that there love would never Be accepted.

Malayka knows this couple is meant to be together but it is a true Romeo and Juliet story but hopefully without the tragedy at the end. Malayka definately has her work cut out as she needs to make Billie and Leo realise their love for each other and make them strong enough to stand up to their families.

Can they be strong enough to fight for their love? What will this mean to the fued between the families? Can love really heal and mend generations of anger and hatred?

The VeilThe Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short Christian- fiction story based around the story of the tearing of the veil when Jesus died on the Cross. It is also a story of a young boy who becomes a man and then gets to witness God’s power and love first hand.

I personally haven’t read many bible stories so I wasn’t aware of the veil or meaning. I did however enjoy this story. It was easy to read and understand and there is a great sense of warmth and spiritual love that you feel by reading it.

It’s not something I would normally pick up but I did enjoy it.

The KidnappingThe Kidnapping by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romantic Suspense story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the humour and connection between them is great. I loved how they seem to be opposites but both have insecurities and worries about the other person and what they will think. Watching the characters blossom and slowly learn to trust was a beautiful thing.

This a definately a chance romance. When Andy is sitting at a bar and get handed an envelope of cash and a letter for containing instructions to kidnap a woman.
Knowing this wasn’t meant for him Andy decides to find the woman and warn her. What follows is a journey as two strangers need to learn how to trust one another while at the same time saving themselves from danger.

However it’s not that simple. Jenna is a strong independent woman who doesn’t trust easily. Everyone she knows is just after her money so when she finds herself falling for a stranger she needs to work out if its really her that he wants or her money.

This is a entertaining story with a kidnap plot that makes you laugh. The twists and turns keep you gripped as Andy and Jenna navigate their situation and budding romance.

I really enjoyed this collection of poetry. There is something to accompany you no matter what your mood. The author has a way of writing that leaves you feeling understood and loved. It’s like getting a big hug when you need it or someone to dance the night away with you.

This book is full of poetry ranging from love to anger but I felt connected to each poem that I read.
I don’t normally spend time reading poetry but I really enjoy this authors work and the clever way the author was able to draw me in. I will definately be looking for more to read from this author

Defiant Princess (Mafia Elite Prequel)Defiant Princess by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I have loved this series from the beginning. In this book we meet the Mafia Princesses. Each one is very strong and determined young women. Each of them want to live their own lives the way the way they want to.

These girls live in a world of danger and while they want to enjoy their last taste of freedom danger and the Mafia life is always there. I really feel for these girls, forced into a life they don’t want, forced to marry against their will and not being able to be with the one they loved makes for a very turbulent life. However for one of the girls it will turn into murder.

The story is fast paced and gripping. It’s a quick read but the author fills so much into the story.

Gunner (Hollins & Haring #3)Gunner by T.J. Beach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Hollins & Haring series. I personally haven’t read the first two books but I was still able to enjoy this as a standalone. The author has a great way of writing which drags you into the story and doesn’t let go. I really felt for Debbie when her mum tested positive for covid. All the upsetting circumstances of having a loved women very poorly and not being able to help is something most people can relate to which makes the story feel more real.

Gary and Debbie work together trying to set up their own investigation business. But to Debbie Gary is a mystery. She doesn’t know much about his past or where he comes from, that is until now.

Gary doesn’t want to remember his past or even think about it but when Debbie’s mum becomes sick with covid he decides a way to distract her is to open up about himself.
So we are now taken through a story of danger, heartbreak and action and we grow to understand why Gary is the way he is and the circumstances which have lead him here.
Mixed with us learning Gary’s story we also still follow along with Debbie and her family as they struggle with her mum being ill and all the complications that came with a sick loved one during covid times.

It was lovely to see Debbie and Gary get closer as Gary tells his story. Its hard to read in parts as Gary is forced to face demons he would rather never see again but he feels he needs to, because his story is all thats holding Debbie together at times. I will definately be going back to read the first two books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow I loved this collection of stories. All of them are uniquely different but all of them are really great reads.

The stories are romance with a Christmas twist so although the journey to the HEA isn’t always smooth the Christmas magic makes anything possible.
I honestly could not pick a favourite because I loved each on in different ways but every book captured the essence for romance and the magical spirit of Christmas. I will be re reading this anthology again curled up in from of my Christmas tree with a hot chocolate to really embrace and make each story come alive. These stories are so magical and beautifully written I can imagine them being turned into films to watch over the Christmas period.

A Crossbow ChristmasA Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really relatable and emotional story. The fact that the main character Carina is so relatable is what makes this story such an emotional read. Its like reading about parts of myself in this book. It deal with difficult subjects such as grief, loss of family around covid time, dealing with the illness yourself and also the realisation that life just isn’t how it used to be.

Carina has gone through a lot in the last year. From losing several family members during the pandemic to almost becoming a victim of it herself. When she recovers all she wants is a big family Christmas, however all her kids are gown and have their own lives and her husband is too busy working.
Feeling very lost and alone she starts to question herself. After so many years of caring for others what does she do now she’s no longer needed.
When she is offered the chance to stay at a friend’s cabin for a guaranteed white Christmas is she brave enough to go alone, to do something that she wants just for her? And what happens if she does that that leap of faith? Will she find her purpose in life and in the process find herself again? Or will she be to worried and scared to put herself first.
It is an emotional story which I can relate to on all different levels. I’ve never felt more connected to a character because as a wife and mother the thoughts and feelings she goes through I have had myself. It is a beautifully written story that deals with a subject not many people discuss.

This is the first book in this series and i really enjoyed it. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the world building.

Dia's LureDia’s Lure by Catherine Peace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dia’s Lure is the third book in this series. I would strongly recommend reading the books in order so you get a complete understanding of the characters and the story.

This is a paranormal fantasy romance. I loved the elements of danger in it and the different characters. The author does an amazing job of bringing these fantasy characters to life. I didn’t read the first 2 books but that didn’t stop my enjoyment of this book. I will however be going back to read the series from the beginning.

Dia is a very interesting character. All her life she has been on the run from hunters because of what she can become. She is a strong willed and resourceful character however she does have a sense of sadness and loneliness about her because she can’t let people in and the one person she did let in and loved betrayed her.

That person was Carver. Carver is a dingo shifter. He has made many questionable mistakes in his life that he regrets. The main was was hurting Dia and causing the destruction of her tribe. Now he’s free to make amends for the past and the pain he has caused but will Dia accept him and forgive him or has the damage been too much that there is no going back.

This story is definately a page turner which a slight element of fated mates has most shifter stories have but the journey for Dia and Carver to get there is definately a roller coaster of a ride you don’t want to miss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. This is book 1 in The Bennetts Of Langston Falls Series and I can’t wait to see where the author takes this series. The writing is beautiful and the author creates lots of emotions and feelings through out the story captivates the reader and takes them on an emotional journey.

I really loved Teddy. He is such a selfless character and you can just tell he’s a really good guy. My heart broke for him when he loses years of his life through no fault of his own. He lost his freedom and the love of his life.
The girl he left behind Robyn has never stopped loving him and has put her entire life on hold waiting for the day he is released. When he returns can it be as easy as just picking up and carrying on from where their lives were stopped all those years ago?

If only, as our couple try to rebuild and have the live they always wanted there are people who are trying to stop that by getting Teddy in trouble yet again. Can they stay together this time? With the love or Robyn and the support of his family can they protect Teddy from the people against him or will history repeat itself and leave Teddy and Robyn separated once again.

Kiss Away Your Pain (Wounded Hearts, #2)Kiss Away Your Pain by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Wounded Hearts series. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone and still be really enjoyed. This is such a beautiful, moving and emotional love story. The author’s attention to detail when creating the characters or Enzo and Candi. Enzo is every woman’s fantasy come true and Candi is like most women (and men) she is dealing with some pain and heartbreak from the past.

The attraction between Candi and Enzo is instant but with Candi dealing with the grief and heartbreak of losing a love she is reluctant to contemplate romance again. Meanwhile Enzo also has issues from his past which makes committing to something and someone a scary prospect for him.

Can Candi and Enzo work through their issues to create a future where they can both be happy or will their fears stop them from experiencing true happiness.

This story is so moving to read that you can’t help but wish the best for the characters, but the journey won’t be straight forward. There are twists and turns and obstacles in their way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in The Freemasons series. I loved this just as much if not more than the previous books in the series. I do highly recommend reading the books in order so that you understand all the characters and their stories which have lead them to where they are now. The author does an amazing job of capturing the characters and I loved Declan who is so protective and caring towards Renee while at the same time being powerful and strong when it comes to protecting her.
Renee herself is very damaged because of the trauma she has gone through. My heart broke for her as she struggles with returning to normal life but I was equally amazing by her strength and courage to trust and love again.

Renee has finally been saved and rescued from the people who kidnapped her. Now she has the hard task of getting through the trauma and returning to her free life. But this is no easy task but she hopes she can get there with the help of her family and Declan. Renee has always had feels for Declan but now she knows he would never want her. Who would want someone so damaged and broken?

Even if that means denying his feelings and wants towards her and just focusing on helping her recover. He wants to do anything it takes to stay in her life and doesn’t want to scare her away.

Declans main goal is to protect her from any harm happening to her again. So when the people who kidnapped and harmed her before come back Declan is determined to make them disappear for good.

Can Declan protect Renee? Will he ever be honest with her about his feelings towards her or will Renee carry on thinking she is damaged and that no one will love her?

Yesterday's Over (Philly Heat series, #3)Yesterday’s Over by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Philly Heat series. I really enjoyed this story. It is so much more than a romance which is what I loved about it. There is romance in it but it is also full or mystery, danger and intrigue as Ben and Trudy try to get to the bottom of the mysterious old bones that have turned up. Were they buried there by accident or is there a killer still on the loose.

I love the characters of Ben and Trudy. Trudy is a very strong character, she is determined to find the truth about the mysterious bones no matter the risk or what she has to do. Ben on the other hand is happy just examining the bones and isn’t too bothered about the origins of them. They work together on this case and their feelings begin to blossom but will Ben been reluctant to support Trudy in her quest for the truth and the fact that killer could still be out there Ben is also reluctant to allow Trudy to put herself in a position to get harmed.
Will Trudy see this for the caring protective way it is meant or will she see it as Ben being non supportive and standing in her way. Can their new found romance survive this challenging and dangerous time.

I loved this story and the romance. The author does an amazing job of captivating the reader

Tink (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book One)Tink by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in a new series called Devil’s Handmaidens MC. And wow what I start. I love any story that revolves around an MC but the majority of then are male dominated so it was really refreshing to read about a female MC. What I loved is that the women of this MC are just as loyal and fierce as any man and they will do what ever it takes to protect the people they care about.
This story is very emotional as well as Tink our main character is on the search for her sister who was kidnapped. Thinking she was taken into a traffic ring Tink and her fellow Handmaidens set out to save and take down as many of these trafficking as she can.
There is also an element of romance in this story when Noodles walks into Tinks life. Add to the romance the element of danger when Tinks life is put at risk and this is definately a story with something for everyone.

The question is will Tink ever find her sister? And when the past comes back to haunt her will her club and Noodle be enough to protect her.
I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more about the Devil’s Handmaiden’s MC

This is the first book in the series and it was an enjoyable read. The author does a great job with the world building and characters. I loved how the story contains elements of sci-fi such as worm holes and bugs that we could never imagine but there is also a seriousness to the story as Nialla and Bishr are fighting to do what they want when they want to do it without people trying to stop them. Its about fighting for what you want in life and not giving up.
This Sci-fi story was entertaining and engaging and I felt like I was actually there experiencing everything that they do. The author creativity and imagination really brings this story to life. I can’t wait to see what other adventures Bishr and Nialla take us on

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this historical Thriller. The author does and amazing job of transporting the reader back to a time of war and desperation and takes you right up to the present day. This is definately a story that makes you think and contemplate your actions in life as this story shows that your actions have consequences further down the line and not just for you but for other people.

This story is gripping, with secrets, lies, revenge and greed. You also feel the after affects of one person’s actions as they suffer either guilt and remorse for what happened but can’t seem to find a way to make amends for the past.

It is a moving story about war and how it affects people. When a crime is committed by Rex Thompson during war in Vietnam he is plagued by the guilt for years however he thinks his secret is safe. Until the daughter of an immigrant fisherman comes knocking. Rex’s sons are responsible for her father’s death and after uncovering his journal Anh comes to Rex looking for answers not only for her father’s death but also the past.

Now Rex has a tough decision to make, does he tell the truth about what happened all those years before or does he remain quiet and try and protect his sons?

It’s a gripping and emotional read as there are so many lives that are affected by one mistake in time.

This was a beautifully written historical romance. The author does an amazing job of making the historical elements of the story come alive. The romance is so beautiful and so intense that as a reader you feel every single emotion and you really understand the danger and how hard things were at that time this story was set.
I love the time travel element too. How our lead character gets transported back in time but love and music still grows and blossoms no matter the time period.

Erin is gifted a box with figures off her grandmother. She doesn’t know what it means until 1 breaks and she finds herself transported in Time to France when it is being invaded my Germany.
Now Erin’s life is in danger and she needs to use her gift of music to save herself and help other people escape. When a British pilot turns up she risks her own life to save him which proves their love has transcended through time and space.
It’s a heartwarming, captivating read which will keep you turning pages until the end. You won’t be able to put this book down.

Ok where to start with this story. I enjoyed it because I was scared by it. It involved my worst fear spiders and I must admit its definitely not made me like them any more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow this is a short story but it completely blew my mind. It is a story of how jealousy and suspicion turns into to anger and revenge and the horrible consequences that could follow.
The relationship it portrays on the surface seems an unhealthy one with the mistrust and the need for them to hurt one another but underneath it all you can tell they really love each other. They just can’t stop the abusive cycle.

For a short story it is a complete one. It was a great read and I felt there was nothing missing or that the story felt unfinished in anyway. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more

I really enjoyed this cosy mystery. It was action packed and full of mystery but also with a fantasy twist which I loved. This author is a new author to me but I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to read more.

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Madame Chalmet Ghost Mysteries series. I really enjoyed this story it was a quick read but the story was gripping and so good I read it in one sitting. The author does an amazing job with the characters and I love Elinor Chalamet. She is such a strong and fiesty character. She knows her skills and what she’s good at and she will stand up to anyone who trys to tell her otherwise.

Elinor has helped police before with murder cases. Her ability to speak with the dead and helped them solve cases in the past. So when she is asked to come talk to someone pulled out of the river she willingly accepts. What she doesn’t expect it to meet  if Tristan Fontaine, duke de Archambeau.
Tristan is involved because the person has some link to the royal family. Now Elinor has to try and solve this case while not allowing Tristan to get in her way but because of the situation and who this person is Tristan is determined to work along side Elinor and make sure the secrets stay with her.

As they work closer together it’s not just the mystery of the case they are solving. As time progresses feelings start to emerge that neither of them were expecting.
Will they be able to find the killer before they strike again? Can Elinor keep her focus to find the killer or will Tristan because too much of a distraction.

This is an action packed paranormal romance and I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

DevlinDevlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really hot and steamy enemies to lover romance set in an office setting. The author does an amazing job with the characters. From the beginning you feel the chemistry between Evelyn and Devlin. Both of them are very career driven but they also can’t deny their attraction.
Evelyn sees Devlin as a playboy. All he does is sleeps with different women and has no plans to settle down so when she gives into temptation after splitting with her boyfriend she knows its a one night thing. It has to be. She can’t stand him and she won’t allow him to ruin her career.

Devlin on the other hand gets a kick out of pushing Evelyn’s buttons and he knows exactly which ones to press. Devlin is deeper than Evelyn thinks and deep down his feelings for her are strong than he would care to admit. Are they strong enough for him to give up his ways and possibly risk moving up in his career? Can he ever convince Evelyn that he is serious and not just after the next notch on his bedpost? And what happens when both their career progressions are at risk if they follow their hearts? Is love worth risking everything for?
