This is hands down one of my all time favorite crime thriller series that I have ever read. I have followed and read all the previous books of the Ash Park Series at least twice, so when I saw book nine, Witness was available I may have just cancelled the whole night so I could disappear into this read. I would personally recommend that you read the books in order as we have recurring characters that are amazing and have growth throughout so it would make your reading a bit more enjoyable. Witness it one amazing and twisty read that will have you second guessing everything as you go. I won’t divulge one bit of this great read other than the author has already shared in blurbs, but take it from me this is one you do not want to miss and will want to clear your schedule to devour!

Schneider is without a doubt a masterful weaver of fantasy laden tales. These books just get better and better. Action packed, this fast paced adventure kept me glued to my seat and made me lose some sleep. So much detail and continued world building make for one heckuva ride. Cannot wait for the last installment.

L. Schneider – Review by Heather Lovelace
This second chance romance was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Braxton and Phoenix leapt off the pages. This story was beautifully written. Cam Johns has done a skillful job weaving a story that has the underpinning of a classic fairytale with a modern flair that immediately connects. Loved every page.
This author is a gifted storyteller that weaves a fantastic cozy mystery that connects and enthralled. This series is a must read for all mystery lovers and this latest addition is just as good as its predecessors. You can read this on its own but you will want to read the entire series once you start. They are just that well written. Beck is just a fantastic character to follow and I thoroughly enjoy reading her latest adventures. Hoping for more very soon!

Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale by Byrd Nash was a great read! It read just as easy (if not easier) as her Cinderella regency romance novel. If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas, you will love this novel, because with the fairies it reminded me so much of one of Maas’s novels. This book was quick to read, had a great storyline and plot and amazing characters. It also had a happy ending, for the people who love that. This was book so beautifully written, adding the magical and fantasy in such a way it didn’t seem to fantastical. I loved reading this book and can’t wait for the next! I really hope Nash writes another regency fairytale retelling!

This is the fifth book in the Internet Famous Collection and is just under 100 pages in length. This story follows Braxton, an incredibly talented (and hot) chef. Braxton is looking for a second chance with Senara. They had a booty call type relationship a few years back after his first love, Phoenix, died. Now he is looking for more. He has been doing therapy and his business is off the ground, but will he be able to make it work with Senara? So many emotions!!
This is a sweet romance story which I enjoyed. This is a well rounded story that comes to life with each page I turned. The characters are relatable and are created with a lot of heart. This is a story about Regan. She fell in love with her boss in the past and is determined she will never date someone she works with again. Zachary is the head of a successful empire. He is used to getting whatever he wants until now. Will he be able to convince her of giving him a chance? What will happen when her past comes to the present and threatens his success? Will he choose her or his empire? I enjoyed their chemistry. I also enjoyed watching their relationship grow into what it was. They really made the story for me and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this second chance romance story. This is a new author for me, I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well developed story about Ashton who is faced with a major decision concerning his life. He can either finish his last year at school or go for the record deal he has always wanted. Not only is he faced with this but Calla pops back up in his life. She took his heart when he was sixteen and now she is back but will she steal his heart again? Timing has never been on their side but will it be this time? I enjoyed the chemistry and attraction between these two. I felt bad for Ashton in parts because of what he is faced with. They really made the story for me. This is a fun and easy story to read. I highly recommend this book.

The Mystery of the Lost Avenger is a cute mystery story. It is the fourth story in the Annie Tillery Mystery. I haven’t read the other three mysteries, but this was a fun, quick read.
Annie is about to go off to college, but during her last couple weeks before moving, her mom gets a call from the NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) about a letter from her Great Grandma. Instead of relaxing the last bit before leaving for school, she finds herself in the middle of a mystery and learning about the woman of WWII who were their own kind of heroes.
When thr mystery just keeps unfolding, Annie and Ty (Annie’s boyfriend) keep using resources they’ve met through other mysteries.
This was a fun mystery based on family ties and history. A cold case is generally tough, but Annie and Ty and the rest of the bunch solved the case, no problem!

This is a short romance story about a student and professor who fall for each other. This is a new author for me, I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well rounded story about Cassie. She is a student at Kirk University who has a determination to play hard and work harder. Romance is the last thing she expects or wants right now. As she spends time with her professor Valentine, feelings start growing. They have an attraction to each other but will they act on it? What will happen with these two? Will she get more from the professor than she ever expected? I enjoyed their chemistry together. They were so sweet together. I enjoyed what they brought to the story. I highly recommend reading their story.

I have to say that this is a really quick but very enjoyable read. This is also the first book I have read from this author and I was not disappointed. I have to say that the author really packs a punch in this short read. The characters come to life and the author does quite the job of packing just enough drama in this little story.
I like the chemistry between Tuck and Jess. I like how the attraction is there but there is a bit of hard to get mixed with dislike of attitude. I really like that in the end they come together. I really like the fact that this is a short read and that although short it was not shorting the reader. At the same time I wanted more. I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

Best Of My Love by N.D. Jackson is a Love in Emerald Creek novel. This is a second chance romance which some fantastic characters right at the heart of the story. For me Dre absolutely carried this story. She was such a strong and forthright person that I couldn’t help but connect with her. I wasn’t a huge fan of her and Erick but I did really enjoy the journey that she went on. And I couldn’t deny that the chemistry is there between the two of them. The author has done a great job in developing the story. It was an easy book to read and one I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in foe a few hours. I always enjoy books by this author, with this one being no exception. I look forward to what is next.

I give 8 Second Ride by Shannon Nemechek 4 out of 5 stars. It is not my typical read, but it is quite enjoyable and the characters are relatable. At 40 pages, this story is quick and easy-to-read. Dakota “Tuck” McGraw is an ex-Army Ranger and hopeful National Rodeo Champion. His boss’s spoiled daughter, Jessie, is a thorn in his side, and they don’t agree on much, but that doesn’t last for long! Soon, the chemistry bubbles and as the two take a trip to Vegas for the National Rodeo Championship. What starts out as a rocky relationship, turns steamy and the tension is palpable. This is a recommended read!

The Liminal Space is the second book in T.S. Simons’ exciting Antipodes series. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, with survivors connected by Stargate-esque portals, this series has me totally hooked! One of the things I particularly like about the series is the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world, which makes it a great lockdown read (if you can cope with the “disease wiping out most of life on Earth” plot at the moment). In this sequel, Cam has grown and learnt a lot. He is confident in what he has to offer to his community, and is learning to let go of things outside of his control. All of the characters are adapting to the new way of life, but also missing aspects of their old lives and wondering if things ever could go back to normal. This series is very much a series for today’s world. As well as themes that relate to our experiences with COVID-19, there is a huge focus on environmental issues and our responsibilities towards the planet. It is a thought-provoking book that I would recommend to young adult readers. It gets five stars from me!

Strings Attached is a Friends to Lovers contemporary romance novel by Loriana Cappello. Before reading Strings Attached I had never read any of Loriana Cappello’s writing but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely read more from this author. Ashton Chamber and Calla Bryson were friends at school and both had a crush on each other but never did anything about is as Ashton’s best friend Scott made it clear that he wanted Calla. Several years on and Calla is about to start her last year at university and Ashton has to choose whether to complete his last year at university or leave and sign a record contract with his band Koolum Law. He’s finding it hard enough to make the decision without adding Calla to the mix. I loved reading Ashton and Calla’s story. There is so much more going on than just their budding romance. There’s a LOT of family stuff going on to. I won’t go into it as it I don’t give spoilers but let me just say, it makes compelling reading. Calla and Ashton are both amazing characters. I totally fell in love with both of them and was desperate for them to have their much deserved HEA. I would definitely recommend this book to others as it had me hooked from the very beginning and kept me captivated and entertained right up to the end.

After reading Dance of Hearts by Byrd Nash, I didn’t think I could love a book more. Well, I was wrong. Price of a Rose is spellbinding and pulled me in to the point that I felt I was the main character. I was living the life of Rose and I didn’t want it to end. I truly couldn’t put this book down. I was up almost all night to finish reading it. And that’s something I don’t really do anymore considering I have to be at work at 8 AM. But it was SO WORTH THE LACK OF SLEEP!!! I must admit, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney fairytale of all time, but this put such a spin on the story that I think I love it more than the original. And that’s me being 100% honest and something I never imagined I would say. There is love and a happily ever after to this story, but with so many twists and turns I never could have seen this ending coming. Byrd once again sends us back into the 1800’s with a third person retelling that is reminiscent of the 1991 animated film. It’s a very short story but the attention to details and the characters keep you entranced and feeling like it’s you. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK ENOUGH! Please, please, please give this book a read.

I love these Cozy Mysteries. Always a good story, always a good mystery. In A Tennis Pro To Die For (Cozy Mysteries To Die For Book 3) by Judy Moore, I sure got fooled. I was absolutely certain I had it figured out. I was surprised. I love the gentle love story between Beck and Devon. This book was good clean fun.

This is the 4th book in the Nite Fire series. I have loved all these books so far. This book could be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the series from the beginning. It is full of action packed adventure that keeps you gripped from beginning to end.

How did my life become such a battle just to breathe? When did I start to hate everything that is me? Along the way where did I lose my family, the Horde, and their support I have always relied on? Why did I push them away? What’s going on with me? Who am I anymore? Why do I even care when it seems no one else does?
My life is a constant struggle. Getting up every day is becoming harder and harder. I feed the demons of my loneliness by myself because I refuse to reach out for help. Why won’t I reach out? As the emptiness of my very existence threatens my sanity, I search for ways to make myself just feel. The problem is each time I find a new way to feel it’s not only causing me pain but also bodily harm.
Will I be able to focus on the light amongst all the pain and darkness my mind sees? Will the people fighting to bring me back win or will the emptiness of my soul finally pull me down to nothingness? I don’t have a clue.

Witness: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 9) by Meghan O’Flynn is another wonderful dark thriller in this series. It will have you so twisted around and turned inside out that you won’t know which way is up or down. Such is Meghan’s writing that it becomes all-encompassing and there are a lot of moving parts. Meghan is a master at writing psychological thrillers as evidenced by this series and the sinister plot webs she weaves so intricately and skillfully.
This dark tale sees us taking a look into the darker and deeper side of Petrosky as he once again is on the case of a killer or killers.

What an interesting read! It pulled me in and I didn’t come back up for air until the very last page. It was one of those stories that had me on the edge of my seat, eager to see what would happen next. The charcters are great in this one but I think I loved Tessa the most. She was awesome. The suspense and mystery are what what made this story a great one and I cannot wait to get my hands on more by this author. I would definitely recommend this to a friend! Happy Reading!

Falling in love with a handsome and passionate Kavalier was not part of the plan.

Hacker is the second book in The Mercenaries series by Nadine Travers who is writing under the pseudonym of Raven White. This is another romantic suspense- with an alpha male, the mafia, drama, danger, action, complex characters, banter, camaraderie, suspense, and sizzling chemistry. This is definitely my favourite of the series, so far. I don’t want to give too much away and spoil it for you, plus the blurb does a better job of whetting your appetite than I ever could- but I recommend going in a bit blind and letting the author, characters, and story surprise you. If you like romantic suspense with sizzling chemistry, alpha males, action, and danger- then this is the book for you!

This intriguing story will keep you guessing until the end! The secrets that Tessa uncovers never stop coming. I love the relationship between her and her sister Emily. The race against time to uncover the truth will have you reading late into the night. Is Keith who Tessa believed him to be or someone else entirely? This is a great paranormal crime read!
The Executive’s Decision is the first book in the Keller Family series by Bernadette Marie. It is a contemporary office romance- with drama, family, banter, humour, betrayal, love, and some spice. I really wanted to love this book, as office romance is normally my jam. But unfortunately I didn’t connect with the characters, they just succeeded in frustrating me so badly that I wanted to shake them- and because of that I found it extremely difficult to invest in them and the outcome of their story. There were elements of the story that I did enjoy- such as the banter and family dynamics, but overall, this fell a little short for me. But please don’t let my opinion put you off, as I have been on a bit of a dark romance/fiction binge of late, which may have impacted my opinion of this book. I have decided to reread this book in a few weeks to see if I till feel the same way.
