This series is fantastic….and I highly recommend listening this series from the beginning but it is also bittersweet it is the end…..
Dahlia, a dragon shifter, is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the fall of Sentinel City…but with missing friends, the veil between the worlds, monsters galore…..will Dahlia finally bring her inner dragon out to help save the world?!?!
There is so much to this story… details that grab you and adventure and action that await! While I am sad this series is over (but will definitely listen to all the books again) I’m excited to see what the author brings out next for my listening pleasure.

Schneider – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
I enjoyed this story as much as my great nieces and great nephew did. The illustrations were captivating and engaging.
We continue with the story of Caspian and his magic wand along with this grandfather, whom gifted this wand to Caspian.
Caspian’s cousin, Belinda, wanted a magic wand of her own just like Caspian has. When Belinda finally gets her own wand, things are a moving and a shaking for sure. Belinda uses her magic wand to help Caspian and Grandfather…but in doing so there is truly a valuable lesson to be learned.
I do not want to give the entire book away, but this a very good story and it tugged at my heart.
Complex yet sweet contemporary romance that was totally enjoyable.
Jasmine is co-owner of an event planning company along with her best friend Cadence…..mixing friendship and work is not always so easy. Jasmine is feeling some hot signals when she shared a kiss with the handsome James Conner, but turns around and ends up engaged to Cadence. Jasmine is torn between her clients her her friends upcoming marriage that leads her into a downward spiral of emotions, especially being near James while planning a wedding. When the cards are all out and lies become hard to swallow and emotions run high, what happens to Jasmine and James with their sizzling shared kiss? Will James marry Cadence all for money with dreams of his own?
Definitely read and find out. This book was hard to put down, I just wished Jasmine would see what I was feeling all along with mixing friendship and work and whom is really there for her when she needs it the most. Great read and highly recommended.

I was not sure what to expect after reading the synopsis and the intriguing cover and this was a very good read!! Angels, Demons, mystery, secrets and definite suspense!!
What does happen Sully discovers what is truly his birthright? Sully happens to be a demon hunter … from long ago from his days at a monastery to today…..but everything changes from what he knows today as he is asked to help find a missing co-worker from a bar from a woman named Mick. Trying to find a missing person plus new information comes to light that Sully discovers about his own past and path……this story was truly a roller coaster of a ride.
What destinies lye before both Sully and Mick? I am looking so forward to more in this series!!

This is truly one of my favorite authors and I absolutely hands down LOVED this book so much. This is more of a contemporary romance, which is a different spin than what I am used to reading from this author, but also just as fabulous!!
What happens when something so unexpected that may turn out as a possible disaster lead to a spark of love? While in Hawaii for a job, Dorian has it all planned to do his job and head on home to his wife. When the job does not go as originally planned that leads him to meet Augustine. When Dorian and Augustine get to know each other, the sizzle between them is off the charts…but end up abruptly leaving Hawaii. Years later, upon a random chance, both Dorian and Augustine’s wives meet each other, then this goes to both Dorian and Augustine meeting each other again. Lots of laughs, get togethers, ideas and such that both couples become very friends. When a job puts everyone in danger that Dorian is working…this leads to a snowball of events. Will the couples survive and will there be any chance at romance?
It is hard not to give any spoilers …….I could talk about this book forever…..this is a definite must read in my eyes! Danger, romance, spark……….this story flowed so easily and hard to put down. Thank you Ms. Naomi Valkyrie for another fabulous story!
I loved this story with every ounce of my being…the highs and the lows…loved this story! The story of Joker (Josh) and Lady (Scott)…..this M/M MC Romance was superb. We tend to possibly view being in a MC…. Men want to be seen as alpha, strong and macho. Joker is different….part of now the Satans Devils MC….wants to be viewed as such but has a deep secret that he has been imprisoned with since forever. Joker craves and wants to be with fellow MC brother named Lady (Steve)… but Jokers deep emotion turmoil to come out that is so raw, real and heartbreaking tends to bring you on a rollercoaster of pure emotion.
I highly recommend this listen and this series. The author just is fabulous and her details and the amount of emotions she puts in her stories including this one is pure raw.

This is a new author to me and I can say….I LOVED this book!! This story was such a fun read and I devoured it in one sitting. I could not get enough of Abi and Finn.
Trying to save face, Finn agrees to participate in a TV Reality show and marry a complete stranger. Finn is such a ladies man and player for sure, but trying to help his own image he decides with hesitation to “marry” Abi. All Finn needs is 3 months…..
Abi is a hard worker with multi jobs trying to help her sister Eva and has no time for any dating or meeting new people. When Eva and Abi’s best friend, Ros, plan up to have Abi apply to be part of this new reality show, Abi is hesitant…but then decides what does she have to lose. Will she meet her Mr. Right….
Can I say I love Abi and Finn together, their attraction is sizzling, even at first Finn being hot and cold…trying to keep Abi at an arms length and not get to close…I was rooting for them from page 1. Such a great contemporary romance that gave me all the feels of romance, banter and sizzle… and I am totally looking forward to reading more from this author for sure!!

I enjoy Lois Wickstrom’s books not only the adult in me but also for my great niece’s and nephew as well. As we open up the book, we learn that Loretta and her family have a big garden to take care of so they can have food for the winter. Loretta tries hard to make sure no critters take their food from the garden. Loretta finds these ladybugs and we journey to find out how ladybugs are beneficial to gardens.
This story really captures learning all about ladybugs, even I learned things I did not know myself and curiosity. The story is enjoyable for all ages.
If you love a great sports, second chance romance that was a slow burn (for me) I would definitely recommend this book highly! This author is new to me and I love sports romance books, especially a hockey romance.
Beckett Miller is a hot shot NHL player who loves hockey, booze, drugs and women. When Beckett’s life spins out of control off the ice, his hockey career is threatened. Paige Anderson has it all….successful business, loving husband and wonderful life….or so she thinks. When Beckett initially meets Paige to sell his house to make money, putting two and two together they knew each other in their college years. Paige’s marriage is in shambles and Beckett’s hockey profession and they are there to lean on each other through the ups and downs…and sparks fly hard in that process between Paige and Beckett…but when an ugly scandal shows its head…will Paige and Beckett survive knowing the past can come back and haunt Beckett?
This book was so much a roller coaster of emotions. I was rooting for Beckett and Paige and their story..but I can say at times I wanted to shake Paige! This book has romance, scandal and a second chance for love and true happiness. I am looking forward to the next book in this series!!

Brady – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
Wonderful, Sweet, small town second chance holiday romance that I totally loved every page.
When Ginny takes time off during the holiday’s to head home from New York to Buckeye Falls to help her father during his hip surgery the one thing she does not want is to run into her ex-husband, Max. Both Max and Ginny are career driven..and when both Max and Ginny are successful their marriage ended up falling apart. Max never stopped loving Ginny, even though she had big career dreams in New York. With the love and support of the entire population of Buckeye Falls, will Ginny and Max reconcile and fall back in love and pick up where things were left?
I loved this story so much. It gave me all the feels of love, joy, second chances and support with everyone of the characters that love Max and Ginny. I am overjoyed to know there is a 2nd book coming and I cannot wait!!!

Very good fantasy book by a new author to me! This is my first book that I have read, and while I struggled a bit due to this being book # 3 in the series to pick up, this ended up overall a great book. I am definitely going to circle back and start this series from the beginning to get the full story of characters.
This story is magical, unique powers but also touches on race and betrayal for sure. I couldn’t possibly imagine wanting to destroy someone or vice versa due to the color of their skin…..the author does such a great job on this.
Soraya is the leader of “The Circle”….trying to plan and keep everyone safe….especially from the likes of Shawn Kites who owns DNAgen Biolab and has so much hate over his heritage. Will Soraya be able to keep The Circle safe?

Enjoyable contemporary romance between two people whom are trying to find their way….with some family past that continues to hurt.
Lily, down on her luck with a job and not going anywhere in life, decides to pick up and leave for a little hardware shop in Bluestone that her late estranged father left her. Lily wants to work hard to be successful and also put together pieces of a puzzle on why her father left. When Lily runs into Jake, a local cowboy with stunning looks..at first the banter of back and forth…Lily did not want any relationship let alone to get to know Jake. Lily has bad luck in romance, Jake never had a long term romance…but when they finally left down their guard….the chemistry and sparks ignite. All Jake needs to do is tell Lily how he feels and prove to her he is not just the same type of guy she is used to dating….but will Lily trust again in Jake?
This is definitely an emotional roller coaster of romance, heartbreak, family drama and sizzle all wrapped up in a small town romance. This story is very enjoyable and I really loved both Jake and Lily…as I was rooting for them for a HEA…I am already looking forward to book #2!

Set in the beautiful French Rivera ..this fast paced story all about a “Coin”…that Gabriela finds on her own not realizing the implications of this find. Richard Harrison is set to see the coin and protect Gabriela… stakes are high for sure!
Secrets, agendas, thriller….. I enjoyed this listen and definitely cannot wait to discover more!

This is a new author to me and I was intrigued by the story line in the synopsis and decided to dive on it. This is a very well written story and I really enjoyed this book.
Thorn Ranch has been passed down from generation to generation and Emma is 5th generation to run Thorn Ranch. During her ride out into unfamiliar territory in her vast land, she must take refuge after losing her horse in a cave. Emma is rescued by “The People”…….. but will “The People” allow her to leave so she may return to her home? Will Emma know and learn from ancient secrets that Thorn Ranch may hold?
This story is interesting….I really enjoyed the characters and story overall. Romance, intrigue, twists….and I love the details that the author provides…..wonderful!!

Wonderful, feel good contemporary romance just in time for the holiday season! I loved every bit of this story of two contending Paralympic athletes in skiing that are hot both on and off the slopes.
Sienna is definitely the ultra focused Paralympic skier who knows nothing outside of focusing on the Winter Games Gold. Everything around her is controlled by her mother down to every detail. When Conner comes aboard in training with Sienna and her coach for his Paralympic dreams..Sienna starts to question what does she truly want and does she want everything in her life to be controlled. As both Sienna and Conner peel the layers back and get to truly know each other on a deeper level than skiing….love blossoms and some demons are shed and let go….will Sienna and Conner go for gold in both love and skiing?
This story really pulled my heart strings…it made me smile and melted my heart on both characters back stories….this is truly a wonderful contemporary romance that just is filled with love, hope, joy and some Christmas magic….Happy Reading!!!

I love a good story that can totally engross you with every turn of the page. This is my first book by this author and definitely will not be my last. Even though this is book # 5 in the series, I picked up and definitely did not miss anything from any other of the books in her series. I will be circling back most definitely to start the Jorja Knight Mystery from the beginning for sure.
Jorja Knight is a private investigator whom is looking into the death of a former police officer by the request of his daughter. Although seeming to be “accidental”, the more the story unfolds, there is definitely more to this death than meets they eye. Something that does not sit well….. as the story is more untangled, the more suspicion comes and leads to more death, mystery and twists come. Will Jorja be able to solve this mystery….
This story is fantastic and I cannot wait to dive in to more Jorja Knight mysteries. The plot is truly gripping and I am looking forward to reading more from this author!!

This is a cute story of Caspian and his grandfather and the discovery of a flying frisbee. This frisbee ended up in a tree and Caspian tries to save the day and get the frisbee…and also discovering a cute kitten also in the tree. This kitten is truly “sneaky” when all Caspian wants to do is rescue this cute feline but there is more to this kitten than meets the eye :).
Very cute story and recommended and the illustrations are great.
This is book #2 in the series and it definitely did not disappoint!! Highly recommended to read the first book before picking up book two as this story really evolves and flows into the second book. This book makes me want to visit Venice…the art and culture itself!!
Nick and Julia O’Connor have been captured! Going home was the goal but Interpol had other plans. Unfortunately Nick is contained and it is up to Julia to save the day…but there is betrayal and Julia just does not know whom to trust at this point…especially since Salvatore believe Nick is aware of where the mysterious book is hidden….
This book is full twists, turns, history, art and action!! This authors attention to detail is just phenomenal and I am looking forward and being hopeful with a 3rd book :).

What a fun contemporary romance read that I so enjoyed and I already highly recommend this book!
Tenley and Teagan….Teagan and Tenley…..can I saw these too were truly a match and the banter back and forth….oh my goodness. Tenley is a sharpshooter, pod cast for giving advise on “practical” relationships and really does not believe in love. Teagan is classified as the “love guru” and truly believe is love so whole hardheartedly….challenges Tenley to spend just one week at a beautiful Hawaiian resort of Kamana Wanalaya….the catch..its couples week..and Tenley only finds out upon arrival….and then getting with other couples at a dinner table…oh my gosh!! The fun, angst, banter…and that is just getting started.
I loved this story so much. It has fantastic characters and their development over the storyline, the hot sizzle between Teagan and Tenley and just overall fun. This author is new to me and I so excited to see what I can read next from this talented author!!

I love this series and book 2 definitely did not disappoint!! I recommend reading this series in order as some of the storyline from book 1 is addressed in many ways in book 2.
I love meeting Michelle and Royce…..Michelle is a no holds barred travel blogger that is now taking her life in her hands with no one to dictate how she should live her life…..Royce is owner of his own companies and totally super smart…definitely science smarts…but when it comes to love and relationships he hold them from a distance. When Michelle runs into Royce in Iceland they realize they have mutual friends between them. Michelle and Royce knew each other from long ago….but now their attraction toward each other is totally scotching off the charts!!
When strange things start happening at Royce’s businesses….murder and accidents that are not explained…someone from his past is out to get revenge. When the revenge goes to far and also impacts Michelle…Royce will do everything in his power to keep Michelle safe…
This book had it all!! Hot sizzling moments, murder, intrigue, action and some mind blowing twists I did not see coming. I am totally enjoying this series and I am looking forward to seeing more to come for our WaterFyre Rising family!

This is a new author to me and when I read the synopsis I decided to dive into this book and I am so glad I did!! Wow…this story, while having 3 different parts to it and then how the story intertwines the characters at the end….fabulous. While the years of when the stories take place are around 1920’s and 1930’s, this is not my normal range to read as far the timelines…..I was so pleasantly pleased and I devoured this book and could not put it down. Turning each page to see what happens to Francie, Rose and Beau.
Francie Roubideaux is a young 17 year old girl living in hardship with her mother and younger brother as her father is in jail. When an opportunity comes along to Francie’s mother to give Francie a life that she deserved by Madam Claire, Francie’s mother does so. Francie befriends a girl named Lula and they are both joining Madam Claire to be proper women….but when tides turn and her Francie’s life is turned upside down….can Francie survive once she ends up at the Mansfield Supper Club?
Rose Donovan has dreams of leaving her small town for big city dream with her best friend, May. When Rico Valentino enters the Fenders Shake Shoppe..he is already has his eyes set on Rose. The more time Rico and Rose spend together, the more Rose falls for Rico leaving her best friend behind. Nothing is what it seems behind closed doors between Rico and Rose once they are married and set to live in Hollywood. Rico has his eyes set on fame for Rose at the Mansfield Supper Club as a singer.
Beau Hartwell is an up and coming lawyer in Atlanta with a beautiful socialite wife at his side. When Beau’s childhood best friend, Poke, sends his sister Annie to Beau in need of help after being accused of a crime he did not commit…will Beau be able to defend Poke especially after the injustice being ensued by both the judge and officers that are only out for blood?
All 3 character stories really tug at me for different reasons. There are some parts not easy to read for sure…murder, intrigue, abuse, injustice, heartbreak for all….but Beau, Rose and Francie all end up together at the Mansfield Supper Club for one reason or another…..
I cannot wait to get my hands and eyes on book 2!! I need to know what happens next…….

Fantastic book…I loved this story so much and it felt so real, the struggle and trying to move on.
Peggy is a mother of twins, whom are ready to leave and go away to college. Peggy struggles with the reality of becoming an empty-nester and also still mourning her husbands untimely death. When Peggy’s children, Greg and Grace give Peggy a gift of a “boot camp style” gym …… to work on herself … at first Peggy wanted nothing to do with it. Once Peggy joins and meets new friends in Carmen and Roni..this friendship is what Peggy needed. When Peggy meets Henry..she discovers that there can be a new life to discover after losing her husband….just takes some time to realize. Can Peggy truly move on?
This story is truly a must read…the story flowed so easily and the book was hard to put down. I wanted to keep turning the pages on what is going to happen next for Peggy… fantastic fantastic fantastic read!!

Well written new adult, contemporary love story that had me drawn by the beautiful cover. As I turned each page I loved the story of Enzo and Phoebe….but their story is definitely not easy..and many times a gut punch. How you can be in love so hard with every bit of might you have and turn and walk away that leads to guilt, sadness, tears and never feeling whole.
Phoebe is a photographer whom travels the world……she meets Enzo by chance encounter as they were strangers. Enzo ends up following Phoebe to all her beautiful destinations so she can capture the beauty in her pictures…but family pressure leads Enzo down the road to a different path. That path seals the fate for many years for both Enzo and Phoebe. Will their love survive the true hardship that comes their way?
This story is beautiful and moments are hard, but the story is so raw and real. The author really captures the true essence of a love that was broken and trying to find the way back. The use of famous National Parks and the descriptive beauty is very captivating. This is a great read.

I LOVED this book so much…..with my whole heart….this book was so much fun, laugh, romance, tears and a bit of wedding and family drama….adding a mix of rom com movies.
Four friends…Tina, Lisa, Ruby and Mindy are thick as thieves and their friendship is so much more than friendship…they are like “Family”. Every month each of the ladies hosts a rom com movie night with all the fixings…movie, pedicures, face masks…….and a impromptu drop in by Aaron, Tina’s fiancee, and tag-a-long Ryan, this is where Ryan meets Lisa for the first time. Lisa and Ryan have instant sparks…but Lisa is more hesitant. Her past leads her to be cautious and self doubting….but Lisa takes the leap with Ryan… but Tina is planning the wedding of her dreams with her fiancee, Aaron, nothing Tina wants more is no issues nor drama nor anyone taking her wedding thunder down during the countdown the upcoming nuptials. Will Lisa be able to let go of the past to move forward with Ryan and will Lisa and Ryan keep on simmer while their friends are heading down the aisle…

This is a short story read but boy oh boy……it packed a mind blowing punch. I want more!!
You meet Ivy and her husband, Falcon. They love each other tremendously…but there is doubt in the back of her mind from Ivy. Falcon and Ivy both have their own “spies” so to speak…..and this ends up being a heartbreaking story but also filled with doubt, distrust and jealousy….blended with a curse.
This story was amazing and the story line flowed so easily….and turning to the last page…Ahhh!!!! This was such a great read and I am looking forward to more from this author for sure!
I love this series with all of my heart and soul and this prequel was fabulous!!!! I would highly recommend reading the Mafia Elite Series in order that you get to know each and every character from the 5 families..then this prequel will take you to the “before”. As I was roped in I love that the strong and mighty women are the stars of this book.
This story takes place in the eyes of Sofia, Liliana, Emiliana and Marissa..and winter break from college is coming and the women want to have a good time with a bit of freedom but what I finally get is also what happens that one fateful date to Marissa…..can I say I need more!!
I love how this author ties in her story and includes every character and the full circle of the 5 families…I am definitely not ready to say goodbye to this series….I am hopeful for more!!
This is a fantastic anthology with 7 different stories just in time for the holiday season. Each story is unique and different and I love that is brings me 7 HEA’s as well. Nothing to me warms my heart than Christmas stories full of love, joy and hope….but also some feel good moments, some definite mix ups in communication and wrong assumptions.
I loved each story and quite honestly not one story I favored more than the other, I loved them all. Each individual story had fantastic characters and the stories were well written. Just perfect timing for the upcoming holiday season!

This is my first book that I read from this author and it was really good. I like that it took me out of my normal comfort zone in my reading and the cover is beautiful.
Magic and folklore….the legend, La Llorona is haunting for sure, sadness surrounds the legend and we meet Mercy whom is trying to be careful about this legend due to her best friend was lost because of La Llorona. Will the legend come for Mercy and never let go?
This story is very unique, surrounded by sadness and a bit of heartbreak for me as well.

As I have not read the other previous books, I was intrigued by the beautiful cover and decided to read this 3rd book of the series and it is quite good! The writing is descriptive and beautiful. I really loved Dia’s story and trying to not only keep her family safe but also herself after being hunted and the aftermath of her tribe being destroyed. When Dia is eventually captured…she see’s another person as well in captivity…none other than Kano…whom betrayed her long ago……Dia and Kano work together to save each other from danger and also in the mix with Milos as well?
This is a really good read..I love the different type of shifters, love the paranormal aspect and some danger and sizzle. I definitely want to circle back and check out the first two books in the series and looking forward to book 4!
Fantastic Book. This story gave me all the feels……..family, redemption, second chances, romance, family, injustice and healing. This book was very hard to put down and I wanting me to know more with each turn of the page what may happen next.
Robyn and Teddy have been in love forever, but one fateful night tore them apart. Years later, Teddy is back in Langston Falls looking for a second chance on life, healing to move on from his past and also to be with his love, Robyn. I can honestly say I loved Teddy and the fact he gave up his freedom so Robyn would not lose her freedom, the sacrifice…my heart strings!! Will Robyn and Teddy’s love unite and come back with the spark they had long ago?
This story was amazing…..and I am already looking forward to book 2!! So well done!!!
