Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Carrie Reed

Chicken Little Investigates: a science folktale (Science Folktales)Chicken Little Investigates: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cute! This book is a great learning tool for children. It shows how one single action, such as dropping something, can have many different descriptive words. The friends all have fun name, and set off on an adventure to the castle to speak with the king to ask what they should call the phenomenon of something falling. All of the characters, I think, would catch kid’s attention and the way the wording is written give the eyes something different to look at.

Braving Lily (True Platinum, #5)Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily, the famous Rockstar and Rhys, the quiet IT guy completely weave their way into your heart in this fantastic read. After standing Lily up and being confronted by her about it, it doesn’t take Rhys too long to realise he completely misjudged her. Their attraction soon develops and is steamy to say the least! I was completely drawn into their story and wanting their relationship to succeed. The author not only created wonderful characters but a fun storyline to keep you hooked right from the very start. Do yourself a favour and get reading today!!

Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Darian Vester

Ale's Fair in Love and War (Love on Tap, #1)Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a great story, I loved that it was lighthearted and fun read. Cash and Hollis’s pranks are hilarious, I felt an instant chemistry between them. I love characters that try to be their own person. For instance, Hollis has a rich stepdad who treats her like his own so she could easily live off daddy’s money but she’s working hard to make it on her own without their financial help. I do wish we could have had more interactions with other characters, especially carter. And maybe his mom but only because she’s a fun character and honestly, I’d probably be happy with a short story all about her being crazy, I loved the energy she brought to the book. She had me questioning the timeline when she had to return a Netflix DVD, I didn’t know you could still rent them.
I’m really glad this book had such a happy ending. Sure, Hollis kept a secret, but it wasn’t that big of a deal and she was helping Cash out anyway. I think readers who enjoy humorous romances with a few spicy scenes mixed in will really enjoy this book.

Braving Lily (True Platinum, #5)Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Braving Lily was a great 5 star read for me. Lily Tyler doesn’t chase me but when Rhys Jones stands her up, she refuses to let that happen. His mother won a charity auction for a date with Lily and Rhys didn’t even bother to show up!

Rhys is divorced after his wife cheated on him with his friend and he has no time for games. He sees Lily as an attention seeking person and wants no part of it. He finally agrees to have coffee with her and everything takes a turn during their coffee date. They actually set up another date.
Lily is scheduled to leave on a long tour in a few weeks but maybe they can have some fun together without any labels until then. Everything goes good until, it doesn’t. Rhys carries some baggage and always feels like he’s not enough. What will happen when all their cards are laid out on the table and they are both honest with eachother about their feelings? I thought the book was well written. Loved the characters and especially loved how Lily was with Sienna and any other fan she meets.

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General) by C.A. King – Review by Moriah Venable

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General)Doctor Frank Enstein by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for a class a few years ago and now whenever I see a story inspired by or paying homage to it, I instantly want to read it.

Doctor Frank Enstein is a well known Plastic Surgeon but changes routes when an opportunity arises for him to have burn patients in his very own clinic, he accepts the challenge.

Not really a social person, he attends a gathering with some of his coworkers where he meets Barbara. She hopes that he will be able to help her with an issue she is having but changes her mind after he starts talking. He doesn’t make a good impression but later apologizes to her.

I’ve started watching a few Doctors and Plastic Surgeons on YouTube so to see a male main character in this profession was a breath of fresh air.

This story is a part of collection so it is very short but the author tells a beautiful and well written story.

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by TL Clark – Review by Jana Lewis

How To Write A Historical Novel And Love ItHow To Write A Historical Novel And Love It by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As someone who wishes to write historical fiction, I learned a lot about how to approach the research. The historical tidbits provided were interesting and I like the way the author highlights the little details, which can be important. The laid-back tone helped the information flow easily and seemed more like a conversation with the author than reading a book. Getting the information right when writing a historical fiction story has a great impact on gaining or losing a reader’s confidence and should be taken seriously. And doing the research correctly can bring a story to life. I can’t wait to put the tips into practice!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Mmmmm this is definitely the situation where once is never enough….

Just One Time is the first book in the Beaumont Creek series by Samantha Baca. It is a small town contemporary romance with a friends-to-lovers-to-parents element that had all the humour, angst, and feels that you could want in a story.
Abby’s hit forty and her biological clock is in overdrive. Her love-life is languishing. Her mother is meddling. And time is passing her by. She has loved him all her life. He’s her best friend after all. They’d never crossed the line of friendship- but an agreement, and one seriously hot night begins to blur the lines to the point of no return. Add a pregnancy into the mix and things take an angsty and intriguing turn.
I did like the story, but there were times that the writing/story felt just a little awkward. But this didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the book. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Samantha Baca!

Your Trainer Says Hi! (Vengeful Vixens Book #2) by Indie Sparks – Review by Angela Hayes

Your Trainer Says Hi!Your Trainer Says Hi! by Indie Sparks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Your Trainer Says Hi! is the second book in the Vengeful Vixens series by Indie Sparks. Ms. Sparks is a new-to-me author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But, I love a fun read and this looked like it could deliver all that and more.
It proved to be a very entertaining RomCom with so much to keep me entertain from beginning to end. This is a humorous contemporary romance with a revenge plot, finding love unexpectedly, opposites attract, chemistry, spice, dirty talk, self-doubts/self-esteem issues, banter, antics, friendship, ex issues, alpha-male type MC, and sizzling encounters. The book has got some serious themes running through the storyline that may prove to be a trigger for some, such as: mental health issues, manipulation, body image concerns, and self-esteem issues.
When Nade is betrayed and her life is turned upside down, she decides the best course of action is one of REVENGE. And so the fun begins….
I need to go back and read Book #1 now, as we get to meet Oakley who is Nadine’s BFF and apparently Oakley is the mc in “Your Boss Says Hi!- Book #1- so I just have to read what happened there. These two crack me up, and their friendship and antics are epic! I loved that even though this story focuses on Nadine and Wick, we get to meet/catch up with the mc’s from book one, too. But I digress-…. OMG- Heath, what a douchecanoe!! Like really!!! I sooo wanted to throttle him for Nadine lol. Wick on the other hand- one word…. SWOON!
Can’t get enough of this series… I’m off to devour the first book but also need the next instalment- STAT!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Indie Sparks!

Braving Lily (True Platinum, #5)Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Braving Lily is the seventh book in the True Platinum series by Morgana Bevan. It is a fantastic rockstar romance with a sweet storyline, an opposites attract element, loads of chemistry, sizzle, grump vs sunshine mc’s, the nerd/boy-next-door gets the girl trope, second chances, emotion, angst, trust issues, and taking a chance on love.
This instalment could be read as a standalone as each instalment in the series focuses on a different couple. But having said that, you will probably develop a taste for Ms. Bevan’s work, as I did, and will definitely want to explore all the other instalments of the series, too.
A strong sassy rockstar whose love life has been news fodder has made her wary of love and skewed her view on romance and relationships. He’s been burned by love in the past and has no intention of getting too close to the flame ever again. What does a charity auction, a meddling mother, and a forced date bring to the mix? If you love contemporary romance or rockstar romances, then you will really want to read all the sexy, heart-warming details for yourself…
Bring on Book #6, Daring Ceri (due to release in August).
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Morgana Bevan!

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy (Sinful Delights) by L.M. Mountford – Review by Angela Hayes

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy: A why choose Age Gap Romance (Sinful Delights)The Sweet Temptations Trilogy: A why choose Age Gap Romance by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy Boxset by L.M Mountford contains the three steamy short stories in the Sweet Temptations series (so far). We delve into a tale of temptation that sizzles off the pages. A young babysitter, a married man, his Boss’s daughter, steamy encounters, his wife, secrets uncovered, and some erotic fantasies.
This brings forbidden liaisons, age-gap, romance with a why-choose element to the fore. L.M. Mountford succeeds in spicing things up with these titillating tales of temptation.
This boxset is a very quick and easy read and because each of the three ‘books’ is so short. It’s one of those collections that you can enjoy when your reading time is limited, because you can pick it up and put it down without feeling like you are left hanging.
There isn’t a huge amount of depth, or complex character development. But if you are after a little smexy in your life, then you’ll love what you find between these covers.
I know I say this every time I read one of this author’s work, but I really wish these stories were expanded more, so we got more depth and development to fully ‘explore’ the story and invest in the characters fully. I get what the author was trying to achieve- but I wish they were a little more ‘meatier’.
The Box Set contains:

The Babysitter: A Forbidden Age Gap Romance (Sweet Temptations #1)
Richard who is married with a lovely wife and young child- finds himself tempted by his pretty young babysitter. She has a huge crush on him and is very ‘flirty’- so he is having very lustful thoughts. Will the temptation be too much to resist?

The Boss’s Daughter: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Sweet Temptations #2)
This book is another story of taboo temptations- this time it’s the boss’s daughter. We met Richard previously when he was tempted by the babysitter- and follow him as he encounters this latest temptation.

Ménage à Trois – An Age Gap MFF Romance (Sweet Temptations #3)
This book follows on from the first two, this time bringing Alice, Richard’s wife, into the mix. She has found out about Richard’s dirty little secrets and is out to settle the score. With her own secret fantasies, can she explore her own desires and teach Richard a thing or two in the process? It could either make or break their marriage. This is temptation of a whole other kind- bringing lots of MFF sizzle.

Let the fun and games begin…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, L.M. Mountford!

Under My Care (Chase Care Book 3)Under My Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Under My Care is the first book in the Chase Care Book Series by R.L Dunn. This medical thriller series is a bit of a spin-off from the Chase Security series, which I absolutely loved, so there was never any doubt I would be devouring this series too.
This third instalment brings an intense, full-on, action-packed medical romantic suspense- with nail biting developments, tension, danger, mystery, thrills, violence, thrills, agendas, secrets, angst, intrigue, chemistry, sizzle, dramatic developments, and more.
Pete and Rowena pull us into plenty of danger and secrets- throw in a blizzard, blistering chemistry, and a menacing enemy resulted in a compelling, multi-layered story that had me completely invested the whole way through.
I am thrilled to say that Ms. Dunn has once again brought her A-game, delivering another fantastic story. The series just seems to get better with each new release, and I can’t wait to see what the next book/s might bring.

The Romanov Heiress by Jennifer Laam is a wonderfully gripping historical fiction story with plenty of dramatic developments that kept me engrossed the whole way through. This might have been my first read by Ms. Laam, but her passion for history and cleverly crafted story has ensured that I will be definitely be coming back for more of her work in the future.
The author has woven a bold, rich, and lavishly textured story which is full of vivid descriptions that have showcased her attention to detail, all of which results in bringing the era, and story, to life. I can see this making a wonderful television series, or even an epic movie.
This is a story based on the real Romanov family- bringing all of the ‘Anastasia’ feels- but with the authors original and fictional take on the facts. Its full of action, danger, intrigue, suspense, politics, agendas, dark secrets, complexities, and even a touch of romance.
Four sisters have fled Russia in fear for their lives. Olga, the eldest of the girls takes it upon herself to keep her siblings safe from all the turmoil. Not knowing if the rest of their family is alive or dead weighs heavily on them all. They end up in England where they must try to adjust to their new circumstances. Their identities need to remain hidden. But a supposed betrayal means Olga will need to undercover if there is to be any hope of unearthing the truth. What happens makes for a captivating read…. So, if you love historical fiction, the Romanov era, or a gripping storyline- then you will definitely want to get your hands on a copy of this book.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Laam.
Happy reading…

Thank you, Jennifer Laam!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rogue is a Paranormal Fantasy romance and the sixth book in the Talisman series. There is a lot happening in this action-packed tale. It’s so easy to become immersed in this magical world. It is written in multiple POV which makes the story so much more interesting hearing from other perspectives. This unique tale has druids and mythology, gods and goddesses, supernatural abilities, magic, a curse, revenge, and good vs evil.
I enjoyed the colourful vast cast of many characters, but I really liked these two MC’s. They are badass characters they are interesting and face many challenges on the road toward something better. The sexual tension between these two is intense, steamy and sizzling.
Kieran ‘Baz’ Cormac, a warrior joined the wrong side he aligned himself with evil and is now facing the deceit and lies he has been dealt. Just when he plans to take down the enemy the one thing he has been waiting for and had given up on comes into his life. His Talisman.
Delaney has lived with the stigma of having a rogue in her family and everything that came with it. She has all but given up on finding the one. Now she finds that fate has given her a rogue as her fated mate.
I wonder what comes next from Tam.

I have not read anything by this author before reading Just One Time. This best friends to lovers’ romance tale is set in a small town of Beaumont Creek and we all know about small towns and over bearing families.
This story is full of humour, angst, family, longing and love. The story line is has a few moments where I wasn’t too sure but I muddled through and glad that I did. The characters are easy to like even though at one point I wanted to slap some sense into the pair of them but they got their $h!t together enough for me to go ok.

What Loretta’s Katydid Did (Loretta’s Insects) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

What Loretta’s Katydid Did By Lois Wickstrom is a great book to spark an interest in trees and insects. Loretta’s grandmother comes into town to visit her and gives her an orange tree. Loretta notices various insects on the orange tree which might not be healthy for her tree. However, she leaves the insects on the trees and begins to witness the insect food chain as other insects are attracted to the tree. This is a great book to help children learn that not all insects are bad, most insects have a big job to help take care of the ecosystem. I know most kids do not like spiders, but this story includes one that eats insects that were on the tree. This can spark a great conversation about not always liking insects but knowing that they have an important job. This book would be a great introduction to food chains or to introduce the concept of a science fair. Wickstrom does a fantastic job of integrating science into her books.

The Empty Box (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

The Empty Box is the first book in the Invisible Magic Wand series by Lois Wickstrom. It is February 14th, which is Caspian’s Un-Birthday. Each year like clockwork, his grandpa gives him a silly present. Only this year, there is NOTHING in the box… Or at least that is what he thinks at first until his grandpa tells him about his present- an invisible wand that allows him to control time. The wand can be used to speed up time or to slow time down. Wickstrom creates a fascinating magical power for the wand which I would not mind using myself. I can just see children using their imaginations to try to use their own invisible wand. I know that I would have taken the idea of a time-controlling wand and let my imagination run wild when I was little. If you know a child or adult who loves magic and using their imagination, they would love this book!

To find out how Caspin will use his wand, read The Empty Box today!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love history and the tragedy of the Romanov’s the last Tsars of Russia is a heartbreaking tale. The author did an amazing job of re-imaging what it could have looked like had the daughters survived. She was able to perfectly describe how they would have felt living in disguise, in fear of being discovered, and the heartache of losing their parents and younger brother. The second youngest daughter Anastasia is well known, so it was wonderful to get to see the perspective from Olga, the eldest daughter. She has to work to keep her sisters safe and after reading about how a peer of the realm is accusing her mother, a German princess, of betraying Russia, she can’t sit back and let it happen. The author does an amazing job of describing how the former Grand Duchess might feel in this situation. The story centers on the sisters and their bond, but there are elements of romance sprinkled in. It looks like there is going to be a sequel and I can’t wait to see what happens with the other sisters.

Braving Lily is an Opposites Attract Rock Star Romance story and the fifth book in True Platinum series. Each book is centred on a different couple but can be read as standalones.
Morgana’s characters they are easy to like and become invested in them. The chemistry between the couple is most certainly steamy. The story line is well written and easily imagined with Morgana’s narrative.
Rhys is in no mood to pander to a spoilt, rich little girl. One heart break is enough to set him straight on the fairer sex. No way no how is he going down that road. Not happening no matter what.
Lily is not a walkover she is sexy, strong and sassy star and is not used to being ignored. She wants to meet the man with the audacity to stand her up. She won’t take no for an answer.
I enjoyed the push-pull between these characters and all the frustration, angst, tension and drama we get to see as we journey along with Rhys and Lily story.
You will need to read it to find out what happens.

I laughed out loud with the witty and funny banter. This is one of my favourite reads of the year so far. I wish the story was longer because it is an easy read and I had so much fun.
Betrayal with a capital B. Revenge is sweet for Nadine especially when she gets down and dirty with Wick. Erotic spicy scenes. Ooh la la! That man knows his way around a woman.
Sexy and steamy encounters, lots of angst, amazing characters, fun, and definitely hot and flirty. I love that these Vixens are sassy, relatable, and raw and know what they want even if they are a mess at times.
I can’t wait for the next book.
