Luminoso (The Luminara Series, Book 4) by SJ Molloy – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Luminoso (Luminara, #4)Luminoso by S.J. Molloy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I say, what a ride! This series I am so emotional over and this continuation of the story is definitely no exception. There is just so much raw emotion and the story sucks you in. Lucca and Lexi continue to grow as a couple, and the roller coaster of this relationship….wow! Lexi’s step brother, gosh, he is just …… his character is scary to me. SJ Molloy really captures each character and continues the Lucca and Lexi legacy in my heart so wonderfully!

The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight Book 1) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight, #1)The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I do not read many Historical Genre book, but I am glad to read this one. It brought me out of my comfort zone. The story is great. I had a hard time at first keeping the characters of whom is who, but quickly kept the characters all straight. Nothing like wanting to have horses and being a charioteer myself! I liked Tiwatipara’s character and my heart dealing with a family tragedy, my heart ached for Tiwatipara. Sometimes friends are not all what they seem…..the story is very good with some twists and mystery and looking forward to reading more of this series.

Bake Believe by Cori Cooper – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Bake BelieveBake Believe by Cori Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a lot of fun to read. Who wouldn’t love a story that also includes yummy sweet recipes as well after each chapter? This story has fantastic characters that we can all relate to. What can go wrong when you are told by your mom NOT to bake? Story had some middle school/high school drama (of course) of how appearances are everything to young adults as well as a boy crush (and I know we all have been there at some point or going to be there if you are a young reader). I loved that this story also had mystery as well on why Cat is not allowed to bake and the reason. This is a cute, mysterious story for all to read. I highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a great audio. An emotional rollercoaster as I am listening to the story…. I stop and my heart is just breaking at points of what happens.

Bovine Tricks (Royals Gone Rogue Book 1) by Seelie Kay – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Bovine TricksBovine Tricks by Seelie Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is no doubt this book is very different and interesting at the same time. Trying to visualize what a truly “Hucow”would be, I liked that the author did explain what a Hucow was. This story was unique, very different and entertaining for sure. Characters Abdul and Tillie were hired to find Lady Annabelle Trask and having the story that being abducted and possibly being thrown in to this fantasy world to be changed into an animal, this story has twists, turns and is pure entertainment.

Flowers in December AUDIO BOOK by Jane Suen – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Great story…. pulled at my heart strings. No doubt this story makes you think of the “what if’s” in life. The story was heart felt from a lonely man and trying to process his thoughts and grief. The voice of the narrator really pulled me in right from the beginning. The story was great and looking forward to continuing this series to see how Conner’s character evolves. 💜💜💜💜💜

Very Good Read. I really liked the stories behind Hudson, Mason, and Willow and their different struggles and how different each character is growing up and coming around the corner of adulthood. I really liked how the story also unfolds with Bruce’s character as well especially the connection with Hudson, Mason, and Willow. There is definite deep issues within the story along with mental health triggers that really pull at you. This story is very well written and I recommend this book.

Wow, if you like your books dark and twisty, this book is for you. This bully book will definitely stay with you and is definitely not for the faint of heart. Definite triggers in this book, so beware. I do not often read books like this, but this book was definitely worth the read! I could not stop reading and seeing what is going to happy next with the character of Tillie. She is going to hell and back and some in this story. When she meets Logan, Dalton, Trey, and Nicky, after escaping her previous life, we will only have to see. I am already looking to the continuation of this story, what a cliffhanger!

I really loved the story of Matteo and Zdenka . Historical Fiction books are out of my comfort, but this story really was fantastic. I love Zdenka’s character as she is a strong woman willing to help her family and the farm while also trying to help her sister Arabella to find a husband. The letters between Matteo and whom thinks is Arabella but in actuality is Zdenka make my heart swoon! Great Read and Highly recommended!
