I found this book was very useful in more than one way, it brought a great understanding for those who read it that may not have known much about things that do not come as everyone. I have a brother who has autism so this book really was a mind blown wonder for me, I really enjoyed it and I truly appreciate the author to what they have done here! A lot of us don’t truly understand what it is like to be blind or even unable to hear as we normally do. This book had activities’ for us to experience what people or children like that have to do every day. It was a powerful book of activities. I feel a lot of people would benefit form this, and have a form of understanding This is a activity book that MUST be experienced. Its beautiful and wonderful all at the same time! Thank you to this wonderful author for creating this!
This was the perfect story right in time for the holidays, the characters were very easy to love, and the story was real as real can get! I will admit I smiled through out reading this book, and loved all the holiday like feels it gave to me! I was very happy I got to read this book and enjoy it as I did!
Amber may have had a heart a bit small from past events, but she was still loveable in my own book. I can realte to her so easily, she had painful memories and was hurt and looking at something in a new look could prove to be difficult! She was very easy to connect with. Giovanni, holy crud he is what I would call husband material. He had a heart of gold, and even had the very power maybe to melt a Snow Queen’s frozen heart! He had a lot to love about him! Can two souls who appear so different find common ground and love? Or perhaps they are not so different really at all?
The story was captivating and sweet. It was a book that was hard to put down for me, there were questions for me that I had wonder about, especially in regards to Amber, but everything makes sense as you read through, and I loved that! The author wrote a touching, wonderful, and sweet holiday book!
I loved this book, it was so good. I found it was the perfect book I needed to read to get ready for the holidays, I am so happy I got to enjoy and engage myself into the writing of this wonderful author. If your a Christmas Fan as I am or just a Love Struck Soul like me you will enjoy this book for sure, I highly recommend you read this, no matter what time of the year it is! It truly is one sure to be enjoyed!

I seriously can not get enough of this freaking amazing series. The author writes each one with amazing anticipation and characters as the last book had withheld. I am so lost in every book in this series, and can not get enough, I love this series, and I will tell you that till the cows come home!
This one was just good and amazing as the previous novels! I seriously think this series keeps getting better and better, the suspense and the passion will make me swoon one of these days for sure haha! I fall in love with the characters from each book every time and I can not get enough from what I read!
Honestly each book is different in regards to the story line and the characters. Nothing seems to over lap or repeat itself in the sense of you are amazed and slammed against the wall with the passion with no intentions of ever letting go! For this one I was super excited as Emiliana was getting her story, loved her and she always spoke to me as a character, and after reading this amazing book, I understand why! The danger really intensified in this novel and as well as my thoughts when things happened! I loved this one, think it is my favorite one in the series thus far! Amazing read and do not pass this one up!
As I hope to have made clear, this series keeps on getting more and more amazing. This is one of my most favorite series I have been reading since the first book. I can not let go of these books! No doubt, a must read series and book! Seriously read it! I recommend it with all that resides in my heart!

I loved this book, the story was compelling and kept you interested in more than one way! I was very curious to what would happen next, as well as how things unfolded, how things would lead to the next event in the plot. The author did an amazing job with these characters and the story line! Loved it!
For me my biggest thing I really loved how it came together was the growth of the characters. Not just as an individual, but as a group as well. To back that thought up, watching Lexi and Xavier grow as characters was amazing. Lexi I personally did not think too highly of her from my first impression, I will admit though that changed as I read through. Xavier I did instantly feel drawn to at the first glance. When these two were together working together, despite their differences, they grew as people within in each other as well! The author for sure had a strong ability to do that, it was very well done and realistic!
The story itself kept me very much interested. The dup was a nice addition to the plot as well. There was a lot of suspense for me regarding this book, which I loved! I found this book not all that predictable, even at moments where I thought I could guess the next event, I was mainly wrong haha. I loved how the author has written a smooth read which was defiantly a triumph of a story! Amazing read!
Wonderful read and very much well done writing. The author did a great job on this wonderful story and book they have created. I enjoyed the read as well as the adventure I got to partake on. I wish there was a continuation to this novel, as I did not want it to end. Highly recommend this enjoyable read!

I loved this author’s writing, they made the story flow so easily, it was so easy to get hooked and lost in the story and the characters, there was so much to knot, and a want to know so very much more! I loved the character growth I saw, the sorry was interesting and yet addictive at the same time!
I think the thing I loved most as well as truly enjoyed about this novel, is the emotions that went along with this book. With Lazarus and his love, you did not just hear the words he spoke of how he felt about her, you literally lived it. It was a mind sweeping romance of love and passion, that was more than real, and was something so easily to visualize! I loved the emotions the author made the reader feel!
The suspense the novel gave me regarding Lazarus and his life style was so intriguing, honestly I have to say it was off the wall amazing. From passion and romance to danger and action, it was the perfect bundle of what I wanted. This book was very enjoyable and freaking amazing! It kept me hooked on every word and every turn, it was a great, fun and fast pace read, loved every minute of this ride.
I loved this book truly, and this is one if your into the romantic suspense reads as I am you for sure will devour this book as I did. This author is truly gifted and knew what they were doing as they built the story and plot! Amazing read! Defiantly a high recommendation, this one is very much worth a read!

This sequel was off the tops of being amazing. I loved the previous novel, of reading about Red’s story and how he came to be, but this one gave me more insight and I was blown away at times, and as always the writing is off the wall amazing! I wanted so badly to see Red end up with the one he loved dearly in the first one. Things didn’t go as I anticipated in this one, but that is truly what made this one as realistic as it was. First meets can lead to second chances sometimes, or maybe if you turn the corner you will find something you never knew that could be very much what was possibly meant for you all along! The story was engaging as the first. My opinion of Red is the same, he is still a sweetheart, and a wonderful character to the book as well as this series! I loved how Red is someone who cna love easily, be it with himself (maybe not 100% all the time), but also with his family which is the family that he helped contribute to make, or with the woman he cares for with his heart. This book was beautiful, and Red and his story of becoming truly came to light for me. I was exceptionally happy and impressed while reading this story. It was amazing and perfect in every way! Couldn’t ask for more! I love this author and the books they write truly with all my heart. The story of Red and how he became who he was, certainly has t be one of my favorites though. I say that this book is a must read for sure, honestly amazing book, seriously read it!

This story was amazing, from start to finish truly. I could not get enough of this wonderful, well written novel. The story gave a lot to myself as the reader, it was very easy to envision and I felt at times I was living through the story along with the characters, it was one that surely shouldn’t be missed for a read!
I loved this story, as realistic as it was it was nothing short of giving epic exposure, and characters you could not help, but truly love. The story gave much excitement and a adventure that to me was unlike any other. A lot was happening at times, that only lead onto the next it seems! All made the story and the contrast along with the characters what it was, amazing read, and truly a mind sweeping novel!
A strong appeal I had from this book, was the historical side. It made me feel as if I was alive in that time frame or time line. The visions my mind was able to create from reading, was truly amazing. The characters nicely added to, there was emotions I felt as I read about them, and they truly filled my heart with thoughts and feelings as I read. It was a beautiful novel, that I did not want to let go of! I certainly will be reading the next installment, and I can not wait to see what unfolds in the next one!
If your someone who wants a grand adventure, and beautifully fine detail, then I know you will love this one. The author is truly very gifted with their writing, and they really made the story and the plot come to life in different ways! I loved this story so much! Read it! Its a super high recommendation from me!

This novel, was amazing from start to finish! I had read other works by this gifted author, but this one truly had me under its spell. I was hooked and even rattled at times, I could not find a reason to put it down, one more chapter always turned into, well, I need more answers, it was so darn good!\
There was a lot of appeal for me and this novel. I found it haunting at times with a suspense that kept on building as I had read on through! Honestly I did not expect how much it had made a clear mind think, there was things that came to question I would not get normally in a suspenseful novel. I did very much welcome it though! This was a suspenseful thriller set to do with politicians, that was unlike any other!
Neve was wonderful, her characterization was through the roof of being exceptional! I really connected with her, in ways more less that one would not think or believe. The supporting characters were wonderful as well, and a true aid to the story. The whole plot was gripping, and watching it unfold, well it was better and more shocking than I had even hoped for! This was extremely well done!
I could not honestly get enough of this book. The story keeps you in suspense, and the romantic side was a very nice realistic touch as well. It was just so good, I could not put it down, in the sense of , I kept wanting more! I highly recommend this suspenseful thriller, seriously, not one to be past up!

This book, very quickly became one of my personal favorites, the story I guess you cay say comes within pieces as if they are fragments, each one seemed to be more crucial than the last. The story was weaved so well, and everything was full of adventure and reason at the same time! Loved this story!
I have always been a historian at heart. I always believed strongly that what the past is shapes us in todays world. This book was about answers of the past, and what was, what came to be, what we are now. This book constantly made me think! I was sucked into it completely and mesmerized!
Anna was a character that was true after her own heart. She wanted answers for things of the [past and sought them out, she finds some things of the past that was never suspected, and each finding led to the next, in the end it truly was a gripping story! I truly loved the anticipation that this novel brought!
The book had its own suspense, and it was certainly very well written! I could not get enough of Anna and the truths she had learned of her family’s legacy. Again the findings and what happens through out the book, really make you think and reflect on your own life! Beautifully done, highly recommend this one!

This was such a good rad, griping, and the spins and turns I took as I read through was thoroughly unbelievable. I really had a lot of fun reading this, there was so much to think on as I read on, and to say the least, the plot was quite unpredictable. Loved this one, it was nothing what I thought and amazing!
I have been a fan of other worlds such as paranormal or in this case fantasy. The cover to me first off the bat was intriguing, it gave a sense of…as more less what some books do for me that there is more to the story that I would maybe think just by assuming by the cover. This book puled me right in, I was shocked at times, and completely devoured by this amazing authors writing, it was so well put together!
I guess you can say, I loved the darkness this book gave out, seeing the dark times as well as the darkness we have within ourselves was more than I ever thought possible. It was intriguing in the sense of a shiny toy that I could not turn away from. The character development and story for Ian, I feel there is more to him even after finishing this novel, and I am very curious to find out what that is!
Again, loved this book for all it gave and more! It was different than I had expected, and I loved how Ian was not such a character I truly was fond of truly at first glance. I love stories that can do that to my mind and heart. If you love fantasy and a dark twist here and there, highly say you will love this one as I did!

L. Schneider – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This was such a well put together children’s book. I loved how it really showed that everyone can have struggles no matter how hard they try, but you should not put yourself down over it! It was up lifting and sweet all at the same time. For children that feel they are not meeting the criteria that sometimes the world puts on them, it can make them feel rather down. This story was a great reminder about how we are all special in our own unique way! Also it was great story about self love, which was very admirable!
Sweet and very touching story. I think any child, no matter what they may face, this is something they need to read and get that life lesson from! It was a very motivational and powerful book, a must read!
This was a wonderful story, I feel every should should read this sweet story. Is there really Santa Clause? It is something most wonder about and will question through out their minds no matter what age. This story was very well done and gave all those tender moments of emotions. It was a story that taught me as I still am to this day, believing is seeing. if you believe in something it very much is real. Sometimes the idea of hope and our beliefs are what we have every day to get through. I loved the story and how the image of Santa was portrayed. It was beautiful, and jolly all in one, a book all children should all get to enjoy! The warmth I felt from reading was wonderful, this book made me smile. I was quite happy to partake in this story. The author made the story and memory of Santa come back to life for me, and for me that is truly touching. Enjoyed this read! I do recommend it, its something we all need to read! 🙂

Literally, this book had me under its spell! I had always had an interest in magic and all that goes along with it. I for one have always been a believer, and wondered on the history as well as what different kinds of magic existed. I was pulled right in, many things were going on, but it made the appeal more amazing!
The story of the awesome female courageous characters sold the deal for me right from the bat. All I got to meet while reading had different strengths and really showed how powerful they were, not just with the magic, but mentally minded. I loved that aspect. I was very much interested in the fact the book dealt with Italian Magic. It was all new to me and certainly brought on the intrigue! For me Annie was so easy to love as a character. She was the one who had to undergo a lot, and she came out stronger than I think both her and I thought possible. The story brought on action and everything gets explained as you read though! I do love a book that makes me question in the first few chapters, and I get answers later!
The pace was very easy flowing as I have said. The events that happened made the story take shape. I wish I was there with Annie, I would have had so many questions and wanted to partake in the experiences. The book was well thought out in terms of writing, I really enjoyed it. Its one I will be recommending to people as well. The history that came to light, more less the past, it was very visual for me and it made sense completely, and was a nice thing for the story I found. It was a wonderful, amazing, and magical read that was very enjoyed! The story brought everything, and delivered well!
This was a good read, it brought on emotions and suspense very well for me as well as the other adaptions I had gained from reading this book. I was intrigued more than I can put into words. The history was my favorite part and watching Annie grow and shape, and learning about the Italian magic and past and things happened was amazing to visualize! High recommendation for this amazing book!

This one was even better than the first I would say! This one was more dependent on the character traits and their love, it was very real, this is a story I shall not forget anytime soon, the emotions, they were so real, I felt so many things, the tears I shed were real, it was a emotional read, but a very good read!
Tori and Will had a love like no other in the previous. In this one Tori gets hope within her that Will may have a chance to beat this cancer and they can have the life they dreamed of. Is hope enough though? Is these extra trials something Will would really want? Will gives everything his all, but sadly things take a worst turn with regards to his immune system. It was heartbreaking to see Will and Tori fighting so hard for their love, knowing they may never get the life they dream of and deserve. I loved the more depth we got of them both as characters, I felt I knew Tori and Will, but as I read on they were more amazing than I ever thought possible. The love they had and shared was real, and it was better than any love story I could have ever hoped for.
I cried a lot while reading, there was sad and heartbreaking moments and there was beautiful moments as gorgeous as a new say sunrise! Their love was real, and it was an amazing read, and this is a story I will not let go of for quite some time. This book taught me things I needed to remind myself about life and love. It was a breath taking book and beautiful. I wish the novel could have lasted longer, I was co connected to them and the other supporting characters, this was a love story that some of us really want but only get to imagine and long for! Tori and Will though they met under circumstances that were not the ideal or what was expected, the outcome went beyond that and more. Their love and connection was beautiful and real. It was real. Read this and feel those emotions, I speak of, you will understand…
Again this emotional impact of a story is one that is not to be missed. It is a book everyone should read. It really sucks you in and takes you feel things and think on things you never thought possible. The love was shining through the pages of this amazing book. Will and Tori were a dynamic duo that met when they least expected, even if the timing was not right, their love was. It was a story that made me cry and and again, but made me feel so much bliss at the same time. Please read this, you wont regret it
I simply loved this gripping book, and how the book takes off and how it soars basically from there, I was very impressed, and consumed into the story line, it was a great start to a series for me, I will be for sure reading the next installments. The author knew how to write a very much captivating novel!
Dahlia was such an awesome and strong character She was not a force to be reckoned with I loved how she was a from two different more less creatures of this Earth. She lived her life thinking one thing, then to her surprise not everything was what it seemed, I could even feel her shock and the feelings associated with it. I connected to her so easily, I felt I was right there with her even though the very much action scenes! She was strong as said, she faced many things, is the true danger out there in the world and the creatures she faces or is the battle of belonging the one creature she will need all her wit against?
The story was full of action, and suspense that kept on going, which I loved. It was never really a dull moment when reading this book. it kept me hooked and on the edge wanting to know more and what the next events would lead to. Things happened drastically, but I will say when I came to the end, I know more questions will develop in the next novel, and I can not wait to get my hands on it and read it!
Wonderful suspenseful writing. The author is very talented to say for sure, and wrote a very gripping amazing novel. I simply loved it and it was the perfect blend of fantasy and suspense. I could not get enough of this book and Dahlia! High recommendation, this is not one to be missed!

I have been a loyal fan of this series, since the first novel. With that I have followed Vanessa and her friends, through many adventures, sexy moments, drama filled scenes, and well anything you can think of! I really grew with all of them to who they would be! I was sad to see this amazing series wrap up and come to an end, but the way it ended literally blew my expectations. This was concluded, well, just perfectly!
I know in the previous books there was a lot going on, and there was a lot of moments I had actually thought to myself, how will this end with this not leaving a million questions for myself. I was way wrong. Honestly this one flowed like a river so perfectly. Everyone got their ending I would say, even Vanessa the girl who really started it all! Vanessa is pushed past her limits in this one, I always found her very admirable, but this test took literally all she had with in he, it involved her, a box, her lovers, and well their mothers. I did not expect the ordeal to be what it was, I was amazed and how things went through I was shocked at times as well. It all leads to the conclusion though which blew my mind!
This book was literally packed with emotions and feelings as I read through. I had grown to love Vanessa, Grey, Aroz, and Raef! All were different and specials, but they are what made the series so darn good. It was their differences that shined but all were all connected whether they liked it or not! The book gave a whole lot! I was more than impressed and full of emotion. As we gather towards the conclusion and well a ending that can send shivers down your spine, it was just the way it was always meant to! I loved this book so much, the ending made this book as well as this series. I could not ask for a better ending, and everything I had concerns or questions how to sum something up, well it was! I was left just with a happy brain and heart and felt completely content upon reading! Amazing ending to a series!
I am sad to say good bye to my beloved friends and characters (for now as I will for sure be rereading this series over) I know that their stories all came to a close, and everything need the way it should be and well was always meant to me These characters made the series come to life so darn well, I enjoyed my moments with them, really them all! I am so happy I was able to come across this series, as it rocked my world, with Gods and all haha! I highly do recommend you reading this book as well as the series, and do read it in order, defiantly helps with the back story and what happened previously. I do say this is a must read for anyone, and a super high recommendation from me to you! Do not pass up this fantastic series!

Wow just wow! This was such a good book, it was very well written, how could I not love it!? The writing knew ow to draw you in and make you really fall for these characters, the author did a wonderful job at making this story and the characters come to life!
I really enjoyed going to the deep end reading about Paisley and Archer. Both characters needed something that the other could give. Paisley-loved her right off the bat, especially how she cared so much for her mom, she was a good hearted characters and I instantly felt for her. Archer sees a way to gain what he wants in terms of money, he will help out Paisley in terms of an agreement for marriage and not to fall one another. I mean not like they have history, they knew each other way back when, but memories you made as children don’t follow you into the future years later does it? This should be easy for these two souls who are nothing alike right?
At first glance I thought Archer came off as a high almighty jerk. I was wrong though. Beneath his surface was a sweet man, one that had glued his puzzles back together so much, he ran out of glue and the pieces looked kind of sloppy at this point. He had a lot of character development, and I began very quickly from first glance to understand him, as well as admire him in different ways. Paisley changed as well, she trusted Archer more and opened up more. Their development not only as characters, but really as a potential couple, despite what they agreed on was really realistic to me. Well done on this writing!
Amazing read, and for me the developments all over this book that happened with the plot, the characters, as even the side characters, greatly contributed to this wonderful book. I was s happy and nose deep in reading, loved the hot steam coming off this book! The story was very real as I have said, and the book played out perfectly well. Defiantly a must read, and yes I do highly recommend you read it!

I really enjoyed this book through out my reading. It was one that so easy to get lost into! I enjoyed the concept of the story, as well as the main two characters pairing up as a treat for this holiday season! I literally connected so well to them, and their story was lighthearted and engaging! Loved this book!
First off, I am a Christmas fanatic, and I do my home baking and am a owner for baking out of my home. So of course the story line with the holidays and the bakery appealed greatly to me. What I got from reading this, was sheer happiness and enjoyment! Benjamin and Thea were a perfect dessert together, the kind you pair together at those fancy holiday parties! Their chemistry was making my poor kindle sweat, and was able to laugh and feel things I did not expect! I was in love with this book all the way. The writing was well done, and there were no hiccups in the writing where it was a lost in the mind for the reader, everything made sense and flowed just so nicely, it was perfect for me, plus spice is always nice!
For me Benjamin and Thea were an iconic duo! They meshed perfectly, and it was not a story where its literally jump to the spice, they worked up to it, I mean I enjoyed the spicy scenes as much as my kindle. I loved their story, how they met and how they got together. It sometimes can only take that one look at a person, for that person to be the one person you never want to forget the face of! The story was sweet and full of treats though out my reading, progressed well, and was a easy and fun read, was a delight!
Again, this story had quickly become a personal favorite of mine. I could not get over the story when I completed it I was sad to close the book and consider it done. That said, I will be sure re reading this story over again! I loved it, and I do highly recommend this beautiful book, it is a must read!
I was so in love with this book and everything that went along with it, it was touching and full of emotions with all those feelings. I loved the craftmanship and the way the author wrote this gripping story, it was not one I could put down at all! It was so good from start to finish, a must read for sure!
Brekin, I truly loved. She was such a sweet heart and she had underwent a loss of what she thought was suppose to real true love. She learned otherwise. I felt for her when her boyfriend left her for the girl on the cheer squad. Believing something is the perfect fit, then its gone, in an blink of an eye! From pain and anger, and well shock she meets Griffin through an unexpected counter Sparks flew, but were they meant to last? Were they to be only as long as a fire work show, or would they blast through the galaxy forever?
I loved their relationship so much! Brekin and Griffin were so good together in more ways than one. I loved how they connected, and needed each other more than they saw fit to realize, and they both came from broken hearts in different circumstances, that truly made them right for each other. There was a lot of emotions with these characters, the story was engaging and so very beautiful, and emotional!
I loved this book as I hope I have made clear. The writing was wonderful and the story along with the characters and character development, that was truly undeniable. I think this is a new favorite author of mine, and I need to read the previous in the series. Amazing read and high recommendation from me!

Wow just wow! This book literally had me hooked, this book was a intense read, but needless to say I enjoyed the heck out of it. It has its moments of twists and some what dark, but it was compelling naturally in its town way. Overall, it was a powerful story, and it was one that deeply impacted me! Well done!
I picked this book, knowing what it was about based upon the story and the summary. I was not expecting (or maybe I should have) the emotional feelings this book brought to light. It was more than i thought it would be, but deeply added to the story. I read on and realized why the author had set up things that way. Needless to say I was very impressed for this book and the story, yes as I have said was dark at times but yet it was as powerful as a lightening bolt, and a story that will stay with you, for a long time!
For me Liz, was an amazing character. Someone who literally has gone though Hell and and back over and over again, and just wants her ticket the heck out of there With the way her life style is, could that ever be a possibility for her. She goes through a lot in this novel, she has hopes and dreams like I believe any of us do, but can she actually achieve what she wants and feel the emotion of what is known as freedom? She was intense and powerful with her mind, and she was very resilient. I loved that. I enjoyed her story, and what she did and had to undergo to get to the end finale. This was a intense book, but also was so freaking good and addictive. I could not put it down! Seriously a gripping must read for sure!
*****FOR SOME READERS THRE IS SOME MOMENTS OF THIS NOVEL WHERE THERE IS INTENSE ABUSE. THERE IS SOME MOMENTS THAT AS MUCH AS THEY ADDED TO THE STORY SOME VIEWERS MIGHT FACE WELL TIGGERS OR BE UNCOMFORTABLE. SO SENDING MY HEADS UP AS A READER!******
This book was a great freaking read for me. i love a book that can keep me so addicted as well as filled with such intense emotion I can not even consider to put this one down. there are some of the moments that I do label as intense that some readers may not like, but for me they made the story what it was. Gripping, Intriguing, and real. Very REAL! I loved it and I will for sure be reading more from this author, that is a simple question with he answer of YES! I highly recommend this book, if your someone like me who loves a book with twists, and suspense moments full of emotion, you will enjoy it as much as me!
I really enjoyed this story, it indeed was a sweet Christmas love story. It had its tender and sweet moments as well as moments where you can laugh and most certainly relate to! I found it was a quick read and everything came together very well by the end, needless to say it was a treat to read!
For me what intrigued me the most was the setting. I do not normally get the enjoyment of reading a Christmas story on a Cruise Ship! So up front that was a delight of a visual to have! Rather than a snowy town it was a different setting, and I really loved that straight off the bat! Also character wise Oliva was wonderful. Kind and down to earth, and she was very relatable for sure. I loved how her story went about, especially when you throw in Jace. They were great characters. I found Olivia wonderful as well as humorous in a good way, and made the story very heart warming with much fun as the pages turned!
The author knew for sure how to weave or should I say bake up a good story for us readers to enjoy and smile with the memories when we completed the book! I loved the story plot. As I have said, it was different, and there was some unexpected plot twists for me that I did not see coming. Jace and Olivia were adorable, and sweet in every which way. I loved how the development between them and the story went about. I really enjoyed this one, I think this is one I will defiantly be reading again in the future!
As I hope I have made clear, this is a high recommendation from me! This is actually a first time read from this author for me, but most certainly will be reading more of their work. I was very intrigued and impressed with this one and the writing. So happy I got the pleasure to read it, its a true delight!

Wow! What words can express even more how good this book was. The book takes off very quickly, I loved how it starts, and the moments of terror and suspense were so freaking good. I felt I was right there with the characters in the book, holding my breath in fears of it being my last!
Leann is truly a remarkable character, but watching her in the heist at the bank holding down those moments for her own survival was more than well done. Literally every moment and detail she talked about was critical. I swear if it was me, I would not have handed things as well. The emotional impacts was real and true! It was so freaking good, a short read, but it gives a lot, and I mean a lot! The details were vivid with great descriptions! I also enjoyed her founding relationship with Len, was a nice addition and played perfectly into the story. Was a great read! I for sure will read more by this author no doubt!
I loved the seed of the book and the emotions that went along with it! It was very easy to get hooked and want to know more. I felt I literally started it and then I had finished it, was a very brisk and entertaining read, I do recommend this book, if you want suspense and moments on your edge, this book is for you!

Thus was a enjoyable, no an amazing read. I loved the how the females in the story appeared to be very strong minded and more of the dominant and struck me more as the alphas than the male at certain times which was a main contribute to the book. Fast read for me, and truly loved it! Freaking amazing story!
This story was a shape shifter book, so of course I had to pick this one up, as I love all those type of stories, this one truly delivered and then some! It was more of shifters meeting and drama with their romance. The story had action and the drama, and love that can go deeper than the grass on a night with a moon being your light! I personally loved the drama side with Cheyenne and her siblings, as they are lion shifters and they are selected for mates, they worry as how their father was. I did not expect that part of the story to come into play, it was a good addition that added to the story and developments of the characters, Cheyenne was for sure my favorite, she changed more than her form, was very admirable!
Cheyenne and Lane, were awesome characters, especially when put together on the same page. I loved Lane almost as much as i admired Cheyenne. For me, though they were each other’s chosen mate. They struck me as a very realistic couple, I mean life is no fairy tale, and you have to go though a lot to get to that happy ending. Again, this is where the character development of Cheyenne really comes into play, from her development with her heart, her trust, and allowing herself to care and more, especially from the trauma she endured. I was hooked with this book, finished it quickly, and I still long for more!
As I have made clear the writing was amazing, and I really loved how the story went about and how all things came together. I did love truly the female lions and how strong they were, they were no easy prey to say for sure! The ways of pack was an interesting thing to learn about, and I enjoyed seeing how things went about with all things that contributed to the story! Amazing, fun and a good read. A must read!

This book was a great rom com, and very enjoyable from the start. I loved how things started off all the way to the ending of the book. It was very enjoyable and a light hearted read, with moments that brought on the humor as well as the charming moments between our characters. Great read!
I loved how different our main two characters were, and in reality, how much they were the same. I love reading stories where the characters get all these signs as Nadia and Luke did about them being destined to be together, but as modern day people the signs were ignored. Especially by Nadia. The character growth was amazing, again I really enjoyed Nadia’s change the most. I can say I know from experience that letting your guard down is no easy task, but sometimes its something that we all must do?
What was different for me, with this rom com was the true manipulation between these two. Yes the whole enemies to lovers genre, but the games they played on one another was very fun and different, and yes it was unexpected. It really added to the story to what it was. I had a lot of fun reading this book in the series, and I will for sure continue to read the rest of the series by this author!
Again, this was a rather remarkable and enjoyable read for sure. I had a lot of fun, and the characters and plot were different from others I read, and made this story stand out from the rest. The character’s background and development was very realistic, which I loved. Highly recommend this gem of a read!

I just can not get over how good and awesome this book was! The fantasy side of the story and the whole love the one your put against type of thing, worked very handsomely in this book, I found everything I read through was easy to understand, and came together like a beautiful dinner plate! Amazing read!
As I mentioned I loved the fantasy side of the story, yes very much so! I really enjoyed the character Talise and her back story, and who she was, and how she came to be I really felt for her at times, and honestly between you and me, I was rooting for her in the Emperor’s Champion Game! Talise was a very strong character and had a lot of strength in her heart! That said, life is never easy right. Throw in a guy you meet and you begin to open up to in more ways than one, then realize you are basically against one another after what you both desire more than anything in your hearts. Not easy is it? Overall though, Talise remained strong and true. She was remarkable, and she is my personal favorite.
Other than a good strong female lead, which I did freaking love. I loved the fantasy side to this book as I have mentioned above. Magic and the conquests Talise had endured really came together very well I find. It really showed all aspects of Talise and her colors. I really did enjoy the romantic side of her and Aaden. Though they were made to be opponents, there is a thin line between love and hate isn’t there?
Loved this book with a passion. It was a amazing read, with sword fights, quests, magic, and even romance. Again I truly loved it had a strong female read, which is something I love having in the books I pick up, especially ones that along the lines of magic or fantasy. This was a compelling and very fun, amazing read to endure! Very highly recommended from me, this is one that you have to read!

Moody – Review by Lorrene Huisman
This book was packed with good moments, from compelling meets to really good BDSM moments that could make this dear reader certainly swoon! I swear my kindle felt the moments as well haha. I loved the journey this beloved book took me on, the stories and past of our main 2 souls were certainly a deep closet!
I think I made clear, I loved the lustful moments between Hud and Mary Beth, but it was not only their BDSM moments that really were a great part of this book, but basically who they were as characters. They both came from a past. Ones that were not very pretty. I found this really added to the intrigue of the book and made me wnat to know even more. Despite their differences they ahead a lot of common ground, and that made the appeal of them both to one another much more powerful and pulling.
Another part I certainly did love, was more to do with Hud’s and Mary Beth’s past again. Hud is basically a broken man with a wounded heart. Mary Beth knows how to stitch those heart strings back together. Is she really the good hearted soul she is letting off, or is there more to her tale as well? I loved how much they swore off affections from another or even themselves the pull and the lust, with their personal wow factor was more convincing than their own words they spoke. The story was realistic and very powerful!
Again this book for me was a must read for sure! I fell in love with the author and their writing and very much how this story played out, and I was amazed as well as banging by a thread at given moments through out my reading! Amazing read! Loved it! Very high recommended! Do not miss out on this one!

This was an amazing romance read, on more than level for me. The writing and how the story plays out was more than amazing for sure! It was heart felt with a lot of emotion and beautiful in every which way. The moments that brought the main two souls together truly was a fated meet and beautiful destiny.
For me I truly loved how these two souls, CC and Reese meet under circumstances that were truly less than ideal, neither of them wanted to take refuge with Reese, but perhaps destiny had other plans. They are stuck together, but maybe this could be a new light both of them needed, but never knew they wanted. Through out my reading I watched not only themselves grow, but also their hearts. Things came to light with a lot of emotion and it really added to the story, it was so beautiful, and amazing to watch this romance to take flight. The story was very well done and very blissful I dare to say!
For me I loved most was the emotions that were behind the two souls and why at first glance they were the way they were. It really made the story real, and true in every way. I loved this story, it was just what I needed, I finished it smiling with great joy! A must read for sure, a very high recommendation from me!

I can not express how happy and how much joy I felt as I read this book. I do choose to walk the path of being Pagan, and this book had wonderful excerpts of spells and magical things I could add to my way of life, so that was beautiful to me, and I found there was a lot of good neat things for me!
I find more than ever we need to find that spark or that magic in our daily lives. Before the pandemic I did and am Pagan. A book as this with ideas how to find those moments of magic were very enlightening to me, I am going to have to get a paper book copy of this to high light and mark pages for myself, as there was a lot of beneficial things in this beautiful book with a magical cover!
Besides the ideas and spells which I really wanna try them all out, I loved the author wrote her experiences to her way of life, living magical, and magically in life to the fullest each day. always found it interesting and breathtaking how people choose their path! Besides all that, I also enjoyed how its empathized (as I always try to live with my mind set) to live well within yourself! You matter and the earth and the elements are all around you, but no matter what kind of life you live, keeping yourself as well as your soul well is vital especially in todays world! This was a calming fulfilling book to read for me!
Again I am someone who walks the path of being magical. Sometimes life happens though and my energy is literally brought down, this book gave me wonderful reminders to why I walk my path, and extra and new ideas and such I can do to add to my days to make the magic bright and shiny as well. If your someone curious on magical living, or even like me who walks the path, I suggest you read this book! You may learn new things, and find these things are the sun you never knew you needed!

Wow! This book was amazing from start to finish, the writing was so easy to get hooked on and basically spending your time reading, not realizing all the time you are lost in this wonderful book. I was more than impressed with this book, the story was very captivating and a wicked good read! A must read!
I don’t even know where to start. When reading this I am sure you will fine the plots that all mesh into each other (eventually) will blow your mind. There were many different characters, but they were all connected. Each character was made differently and I found they all had their own sense of purpose. For what reasons they were, they had to find out on their own! The story immersed my body and soul, and the twists and turns really kept the interest high and strong! I was amaze throughout my entire reading!
For me the family drama, was very real and I found the toll at times emotional as real as it was. I felt I was right there with the kids, after what happened with their dear mother, they had things to figure out and things with in themselves. It was beautifully haunting the way it was written as well as things unfold and things come to light. I was sad when it ended, as I wanted to read more, and see what what else come come up or happen. The feels I had when reading were vivid and real, truly amazing read!
I had never read anything by this gifted author as of yet, and needless to say i am hooked for sure! The writing was more than fantastic, and there are no words that alone that can describe how impacting the story and all the corks and screws were within this novel. Experience this book and read it, and see the magic it will pour onto you. It is a book that is a must read, highly recommend with all my soul!
I loved this book so much. The story was so realistic and so very easy to dive into. Loved the plot as well as the characters, it was hooked, and certain pages certainly kept me nose dived into the book haha! I finished this book and could not get over how good it was, it was for sure a must read!
Is the rule of thumb not what happens at weddings stays at weddings? I think this was the plan for Lauren and Mark had, after a wedding they attended, and chemistry was sizzling and they had a heated night (trust me it was a good night for them) and were suppose to part ways, but when you get a taste of something that good how do you really walk away and never look back? I found through out this book and their times of steamy moments together, things keep coming up to push them away, but yet bring them back together. Lauren and Mark were so realistic, and even their personalities were as much!
I loved the plot how things start out as real as things can get, and two people who were vivid humans who keep going back for the one thing they said they did not want, and that was a relationship. As the story develops more, I found more things came to light between them both, and I seriously needed a good bowl of popcorn beside me for the anticipation! Seriously freaking loved this book, and the writing!
This was a first time author read for me, and I freaking loved how the author went about for the development of the story, it was more than well done, and it was amazing in every which way. I was blown away as well as immersed in the story and writing! Defiantly a high recommendation from me!
