My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The book was sweet, educational, and a valuable read. I enjoyed this story, and I think many adults as well as kids will enjoy the story as well as the concept behind it! The educational talk about what the mirrors were, fascinated me. I enjoyed the quality of values and treating others with the same dignity you would want to be treated really stood out to me. Greatly admired that. Loved the colors and the pictures as well, really brought the story to life! Defiantly a wonderful read, I very much enjoyed it with all my heart!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok, please excuse the fan girl in me-but you need to read this book right now! It was flipping amazing from start to finish I could not put this one down, it engaged me and captivated me! Perfect read!

This book was realistic in many ways. I know I love my romance books, and how girls meet guys, and live happily ever after, No one ever talks about them in between! In this book, Ryan and Lisa and have the perfect match. But to stay together there are many obstacles, characters, and drama they have to fight against! Sure it would be easier to quit, but when you have something sooo good is it not worth fighting for? The book really spoke to me, and the characters sucked me in! This quickly became a new favorite for me!

I truly loved this book. And again very much a high recommendation from myself and you need to read this book sooner than later! Definitely a well worth reading of a book and author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Christmas with a passion within my soul! So of course when I saw this anthology I knew I had to partake in it and read it! My heart felt so warm with the stories and the characters!

Each story has its own thing and has that warmth to your heart like a warm and soothing hot chocolate! Each one was different in their own special way, but yet, gave off a happy feeling at each conclusion! For me, Falling For Christmas was my favorite. I found it ideal based on my love for Christmas movies! Absolutely perfect collection of Christmas stories to get you into the holiday spirit!

I cannot say enough good things about this anthology! Each other wrote a story that knew how to capture your heart, soul and mind! I really enjoyed the stories! I definitely highly recommend this must read collection!

This book had it all drama, laughter, and certainly a lot of love! I really enjoyed this adventure, everything felt right and fell into place perfectly as I read. Definitely a perfect read any day of the year!

Personally I really connected with Emily. Trying to be the perfect best friend, and has her own stuff going on. Her personality reminded me of myself. Always feeling second best in life was a great comparison to my own life! I enjoyed the random circumstances that occurred, and when you plan something, something else happens instead! The book had a lot of heart all the way through. And you cannot deny the love of a best friend. Defiantly was felt strongly with Emily and Ruby. I loved the author’s writing style. The reading was light and heartfelt. A great joy to read. Author was great at descriptions as well! Loved it!

Could not get enough of this must read book and author. Certainly will be reading more by this author as I just really loved and enjoyed this one! Highly recommend this must read book and author hands down!

I must say that this book totally held me to the end. The author certainly has a great writing skill This is the first book in a new series, and I know I will be devouring the rest of the books in the series!

Up front, I loved Jasper. Great character and great ambition. Imagine being in her shoes and living your life, and realizing your more different than you so thought, well, more less in terms of magic! She already had life to get through, but now this was added to her plate! And when a certain group realizes what she holds, everything she knew within herself is put at large! The story was spot on with suspense that certainly brought intrigue to the table! I must also add the mystery and truth that was at large, kept me coming back for more. Twists and turns, definitely kept you interested. I very much enjoyed the author’s writing style as well! Great read that held me all the way through, and left me wanting more! Can’t wait for the next book!

Wonderful read. And great work and creativity by a gifted author!! I do very much highly recommend this book, the series, as well as the author! Definitely a must read that shouldn’t be passed up!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author really brought a beautiful story to life. I felt so much as I read, the want to change our current living, but finding the path to do so, was the true challenge. Moving and inspirational read!

Peggy was such a great character and I was able not only to relate to her, but feel for her as well. She had grief, and I mean a lot within her time, and now her kids had gotten their own wings, she wanted to find hers. Doing so, took ambition, blood , sweat, and tears. Peggy had a lot of guilt as I said, its more than just that. The fears and issues she had to work through is something we all as we get older, may undergo one way or another. Not having someone (kids went off to college) a big one for me, not being enough. I found the book very light hearted and inspiring. Peggy and surrounding charters made the story very realistic, and beautiful i many ways. I truly felt for this story and Peggy, and loved the story with all my soul!

Absolutely loved this wonderful author. And the way they did their writing as well. I was very happy and impressed with this story! Loved it! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

I have been loving this book series since book 1. As much as I am sad to see the finale of the books happen, I loved how the author created these books and brought them to life, and gave the perfect ending!

This one in particular in the series really got at my heart strings i must say! Declan was a character impossible not to love, he was a good man with a good heart. Renee I related to a lot as well. She went thru stuff and did not seem worthy in her opinion to the most special in her life. When her past comes back to haunt her, she finds comfort in Declan’s arms. Their moments were sweet, full of steam, and you really truly felt the feelings and emotions between them! I was very happy with how this book went. The book series was stellar from book 1 all the way through this one, the finale. Perfect series which I absolutely loved!

I could never get enough of this author or series. The series, this book installment, and author are a high recommendation from me! It was bitter sweet to reach the end of the series, but the journey was by far unforgettable. Definitely a must read for sure. I highly suggest reading all the books in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book seriously held you from the start to the very end. I could not let go. The book was full of intrigue, as well being intelligently written by the author!

I love historical reads and books that are to do with women who have intelligence and are in a profession that may be given more like lit to men, such as spies. Loved how the author wrote this story and made all come to life. Miriam was a wonderful lead character. Strong minded and bad ass. I loved how she was searching for the truth and to prevent what could cause many casualties. The book gripped me, it was epic, and very much an intense read. I was blown away, literally! A great read I devoured and loved!

Fantastic read and very much a fantastic as well as, creative author as well. I could not have asked for more, it was perfect with every word and every turn of danger! Highly recommend! A must read for sure!

I loved this book, and not only the spice and the characters, but the way the author brought everything and everyone to life. It flowed nicely, and everything constantly matched perfectly! Could not put it down!

Needless to say this was a book that was impossible not to devour. I loved how it starts and you get a good feel for the characters, and then the story takes off from there. Forbidden love especially in the work place and guy who gets everything he wants. But what if something he wants, and he got a taste of it, but realized this is something he wants more than anything? The book had great spice, and not just a one time thing, was literally all the way through. Thank you to the author for that! The character development was spot on, and realistic. I was deep into this novel and its characters. Seriously Devlin and Eve were making my kindle melt, and they weren’t even ripping their clothes off, just talking being near, you could not deny their chemistry! Again, amazing writing by a talented author and I could not put this one down! Loved it!

I highly recommend this book and author! That goes without saying! A great ride of a roller coaster all the way through. The book and author is a must read! Definitely a great read to fill those sleepless nights!

Cozy Mystery? Paranormal filled town? Check on both! This was a new author for me and needless to say I finished it rather quickly. Eccentric characters and a book that was impossible not to love!

Loved the town personally and all the characters that helped make it up. The cozy mystery at large, with a missing gnome and poor Bob. The mystery was laugh out funny, and full of mishaps, but in a funny and light hearted way. I could not get enough or ask for more. I enjoyed the authors witting skulls and how they created the story! Looking forward to the next installment! Truly loved this book and author!

I was feeling so happy as I read this, could not put it down. Light and funny. Perfect read for a day of no sun and sipping my hot chocolate. Highly recommend this must read book and author!

This book was by far a must read for me. I could not put this down. The story was full of intrigue, as well as the characters that really shaped how the story would go! A great read!

Personally loved Elinor. She was devoted in her search for the truth. She knew there would be danger in her quest, but she stayed persistent. The book was great! Ghosts, unanswered secrets, and a path that proved more to be found than what it seemed. I devoured this book! The characters were great, and some you loved, and others not so much! I cannot wait to read the continuation I very much enjoyed this book!

Great read full of intrigue and suspense. I highly recommend it. I think that everyone would enjoy this read. Especially around this time of year! For a spooky read that holds your interest, check out this must read!

I loved this book! It really painted a picture that sometimes what we want, is not what we truly wanted. As much as we thought, The story was interesting, with danger, and an unknowing fate.

I really came to love this book and very much enjoy the writing of this author! Laurel was a wonderful character. Felt for her. She married for love, and was whisked away in what should be a fairy tale. With her new husband’s sister, it was anything but that. I found danger was at almost every turn for her, her husband felt in the middle. Laurel wanted to live the life she wanted, not live in fear. I was pulled all the way through. I saw a lot of character development with Laurel. The ending….holy moly. I need answers now! I was pulled in and was held to the end. This book was hard to put down!

I really enjoyed the author’s writing style and use of descriptive words. I really felt I was in the historical era! The book was a must read, as well as the author, and I very much highly recommend it!

Been a loyal fan of this series, and this author since book 1, and I swear the books keep getting better and better. With steam, character depth, and action and danger! I especially loved this book!

This one had great character depth that was happening with vampires, humans, and a event that happened in a previous book! This one really pulled me in. The danger, and the threat at large was one of their own, a mate of one of the overmasters. I loved reading about Alyssa and Master Catteneo! They worked well as a team, and had heat you could not ignore! Loved their developments as well! Loved this installment!

Could not put this one down seriously! Such a freaking good read. I suggest reading from book 1 to get the full story and enjoyment of the story and characters. Highly recommend this must read book and series!

This was a book I could not help but love! I related to it so very much! I am someone who feels different option, and wants to fit in as much as Miranda did. Loved how real she was!

Miranda had a life that was set to be like her family. I enjoyed how realistic it was , hearing how her family was and how she was raised. I truly felt for her when she discovered in fact how different she was! I loved how her feelings were valid, and how magical she was, she went for a new life.

I always devour any book that this author creates and writes. I especially loved this one. Great start to a new series, with characters that really make the story come to life, and make you unable to put the book down!

Loved this story. I felt for Katrina and I really loved how relatable the author had made her be. Chase was different but in a seductive and powerful way. Their time together really made my dear kindle sweat in anticipation. I loved how perfectly they fit together, and then again they did not. The past has a way of haunting us, and that is what made this book what it is. I loved how the author wrote them so deeply, and how the past really influenced them in the present. The book was a thrilling, deep, and seductive read for me. I could not out this one down Love the author’s writing style! I especially loved this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can never get enough of this wonderful author, or the stories that they create with convincing characters that are real as ones can get! This book had me hooked right from the start and held me through the end!

Love Satan’s Devils with a passion. I must say at first glance, Petty was not someone I was super fond of, or even cared for for that matter. As I read I got to know what made Petty, well, and I must say by the time we reached the conclusion my opinion had shifted. I love how this author can captivate you with characters and do such a strong character development that an opinion you have of one, can completely be different by the end! Loved Rose by the way. She was a great character and brought out Petty’s softer side, especially the ordeals they faced I think those ordeals made Petty allow himself to open his heart, and admit all he had right in front of him and that he was not about to lose that! Freaking great read! Absolutely loved it!

The author absolutely amazes me in every book they release. I was sucked in hard from the start, and I did not want this book to end! Highly recommend this book, series and of course the author! A must read!

I live for anything to do with horror, but this one greatly surpassed what I had hoped for. Spiders, a creepy allure, stunning writing, holy cow, I fell in love so easily with this book and author! Perfect October read!

Now, I do love a good horror read, but this one certainly fueled some of my worst fears…spiders. Needless to say this was a book well wroth a read. It was a must read. The book horrified me at scenes, and intrigued me to wanting more at the same time I enjoyed the story and the plot. If you love horror, then no longer look no further, because you have found your match! I loved the book being told from Missy’s perspective. A child’s mind is unlike an adult, so when Fred comes to show what he is really all about, the feelings Missy felt and her fear, was greatly valid. I loved the horror and creepiness this book gave off. I loved her supportive dad as well. The spiders, the scary stuff, the deaths, the writing was exceptional! Amazing read! I truly loved it!

A perfect horrific read with all the elements you would hope in a book that would rattle your bones, your mind, and make you want to check behind you as you read Highly recommend this must read book!

Loved this one and all the suspense it held. Greatly liked Jude, and how much his sister meant to him. Sienna was awesome too! She saw something in Jude that he could not even see himself.

This was a collection of cozy mysteries that literally was to die for! I absolutely fell in love with every mystery that unfolded right before my eyes! Ruby was a wonderful heroine!

I loved how each one was surrounding a cozy mystery around a theater and production. Ruby was a great character to relate to, larger than life outlook, and she was real as one can get. I enjoyed her insight and her quest for the truth. I found these books lovely, full of a good time, and funny at moments as well. I loved how Ruby was perfectly imperfect, and was in fact, human. I read these books. and laughed, gasped, smiled, you name it! So much to enjoy! I could not have asked for a better time! Loved this box set!

I have been a huge fan of this author for quite some time, since I have had the pleasure of reading the author’s other series, surrounding mysteries in Chicago. Let me say, my heart leaped with joy when I realized the connection between the main heroine in this novel and the other series!

Very much enjoyed this book and the story Greatly admired Lottie. Resultant and independent. For sure fan girled out on the certain scenes that Emma from the other series, made an appearance. The book was full of intrigue over what involved Lottie. She was a lot like Emma, but as Emma knows, sometimes when you put your nose too deep you get in trouble. Lottie was blamed for something, and she had to clear her name and figure out who the real culprit was before it was too late! Personally, a big thing I admired and enjoyed was the historical take. I do not mean just the time frame, women’s suffrage was a big thing in history and the author perfectly portrayed it into the novel. Excellent writing and an intriguing novel! I truly loved it!

I could not put this book down once I began, there was so many interesting concepts that kept me wanting to read! Highly recommend this author as well as their book Both are a must read that you will enjoy!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was very relatable in every which way. I loved the concept of the story, the characters, the way everything flowed, and how realistic the writing and the plot of the book was! Wonderful read!

I loved this one, as I have said, how relatable it was. Hitting the rock bottom of life. thinking you had the perfect life, and then learning you do not actually. What kind of life do you want? Who is gonna support you if the person you always thought would? Cause now they can’t due to their actions! Olivia was very relatable. She was easy going, but wanted to be a top chef, but the life she had going until she hit the ground running, was never an option. From people that really cared about her and loved her, which she learned over time, she achieved what she thought would be impossible for her life. The power of friendship was golden in this book, as well as following your dreams and believing in yourself. Loved this book and author’s writing! Character development was strong as well. The story carried itself well! I very much enjoyed it!

Lovely book that I quickly became immersed in and could not put down! It was by far a must read for sure! Highly recommend this read, if you have not had the pleasure of reading it yet! A sensational read!

This book was magical in each and every way. I was mesmerized as I read, and lost within all that it held. The story flows ever so nicely, has strong descriptions, and spot on character development.

This story was a wonderful book that was very easy to relate to. It was impacting as it could be with the characters and the story line. The story was realistic, yet the fantasy and the take with the story was very much full of intrigue. Yasmine was a wonderful character as well as Hassan. She was strong willed, but there was more to her than meets the eye. Hassan-I loved the talk and use of his culture in the story. It really made his character, and the story beautiful in every way. The story took an adventurous turn I did not expect at first glance, the fantasy role was amazing. The writing was wonderful. I loved this book!

This was a book that mesmerized me for all that it was and all that it contained. I could not put it down. Very invested with the characters. Defiantly a must read! For sure, I highly recommend this book and author!

This was such a cute and engaging story. The images of the illustrations were just as wonderful as the story went as well! I very much enjoyed how the story went, I think all Mamas feel the same, it does not matter where your child comes from, they are yours. I also found the lesson valuable not to judge another by appearance as sometimes the trust you do not have can prove you wrong. As with this story with the neighbor! I found the story cute and insightful. A book that is sure to be cherished and enjoyed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a book that really held its own! I was captivated when I first began to read, and it held me all the way through! It was impossible to put down! The writing style flowed nicely as well!

The story had a very interesting appeal. I could not put this one down or let go of it! The book had its strong sense of appeal as you read. The characters and the interactions are what made this story for me! Haunting and strong willed as I read. The story was convincing and I enjoyed how the author made the point of views. It was a wonderful read and I happily enjoyed it all the way through!

Wonderful read that brought on a lot of intrigue! I could not be happier with how this book was. A must read for sure, and one I certainly highly reccomend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I felt everything within this book! I could not ask for more, I do love sport based romances and this one simply nailed everything that it held within its contents! Wonderful characters as well.

The main two characters, were very relatable and realistic to me. I loved how easy they talked and seemed like they were living body people that you could run into in your daily life adventures. Sometimes with business and pleasure, there is a line that can be crossed, and when it does, holy moly! The book built up the story nicely and was engaging all the way through. I very much loved this must read romance!

Exceptional writing that flowed ever so perfectly. I was very much invested in the story as well as the characters. Could not put it down! Highly recommend this must read book and author!
