This is a cute retelling of Hansel and Gretel. As always, I love how Wickstrom weaves science and storytelling. Hansel and Gretel go out with their dad to have a picnic and along the way Gretel stops to identify and draw birds and other woodland creatures. They cross paths with the “witch” who makes them help her rebuild her house because they, and the animals, have been eating her “prize-winning house.” I do feel like this story ends abruptly and I had to go back a read it a couple of times to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Overall, I enjoyed the story.

This one was a little tough for me. I like the Pierce Brothers but the execution of the story was a struggle. There is a lot of introspection with one character in particular but it isn’t the only one. It just seemed too much and took me away from being in the moment with the story. Honestly I did some skimming during these times to keep the story moving along for me. This one deals with grief and denial for the most part. Sure there is the unknown baby element but it really takes a back seat to the problems that occur with the two main characters. This is listed as a rom com. I really don’t see that maybe smidgens but the darker side overtakes it all.
As stated I do love these brothers and their women. They are great support for whomever the story is about. I liked the breakdown of each of them from Noah’s POV.
I also enjoyed the growth that Noah’s character made. He had hard decisions to make but he did them smartly and I applaud him for that.
Overall this is an okay read for me. Not my favorite of the series but still good.

This is a beginner’s guide to writing a historical novel, such as historical romance or just historical fiction, and features information relating to research, writing tips, formatting, publishing, reviews, advertising, and self-publishing. I recommend this book because it has been a really interesting, informative, helpful book and Clark seems so intelligent and friendly, I would love to approach her if I ever write a historical novel and her comments throughout this book have made me feel comfortable enough to do that. It’s pushed me to get on with writing. ‘I write about different types of love because I’m fascinated that the one word ‘love’ has so many meanings and different feelings attached to it. And, let’s face it, I love love!’

I absolutely love this series by Byrd Nash. It is such a lighthearted story, but immediately grabs your attention and doesn’t let go! I read this book in one sitting! This is the 3rd book in the series “Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries” and personally this one has been my favorite so far! It went into a deeper explanation of exactly what the Morpheus Society and what they actually teach their students. The smaller plot with the romance with the duke of Archambeau kept me on the edge, wondering exactly what Madame Chalamet was feeling towards their relationship. I also enjoyed the banter between Madame Chalamet and her new apprentice, it showed a different side of Mys Chalamet and how she interacts with people. I cannot wait until book 4 is released and I can continue reading about their mysterious adventures and the relationship between the duke and Mys Chalamet.

The Veil of Corruption (The Virus of Beauty Book 2) by C.B. Lyall. I have really enjoyed this series even though its not my favorite genre. Its the story of Wilf Gilvary who is teen wizard but wizardry is not his favorite thing. He loves soccer and just being a teen in Hong Kong. He is trying hard to hide his magic from his teammates and trying to keep it in control at other times. He shares a bond of attraction to Katryna who is a young witch but he’s only attracted to her due to their bond. Wilf is also trying to fix The Veil which is going all wonky because of him. On top of all that he’s trying to find Myra his sister who murdered their father. This read is so full of all the things, magic, emotions, murder and fantasy. This is such a fun series so buckle up and start this fun fantasy series!

Lyall Review by Tausha Treadway
The storyline is extremely interesting and has a lot of surprising twists, especially the end.
The main character’s inner dialog is all over the place but in a good way, it kept me guessing what was real and what wasn’t. I was truly expecting it all to have been a psychotic breakdown or something.
My only reason for not giving this book 5 stars is because there are some time-line and time jumps that were really confusing and that took away from the story.
If the author sorts out those minor issues this book can definitely be a best seller

An enjoyable and engaging romantic comedy which kept me happily turning the pages. I love the main characters, Cash and Hollis who are both likeable and relatable characters with plenty of chemistry. Cash runs his family’s brewery and Hollis is a dog groomer and they are neighbours, the worst neighbours, this is an enemies to lovers romance. The pair have plenty of banter between them and they like to play pranks on one another, but when Cash thinks Hollis has gone too far, he’s willing to play dirty to save his business. This is a fun, lighthearted story with plenty of laugh out loud moments, but also full of emotion and of course romance. The couples sizzling chemistry leads to some rather steamy scenes, and I was cheering them on to a HEA.

This is a gripping crime mystery story full of suspense, which had me hooked from start to finish. Detective Maurizio Scala is in Rome, Italy, where he has a case to solve, a member of a foreign acting company has been brutally murdered. The Detective believes the last person to see the victim is a suspect, but then later fears he has a killer on his hands when she’s found by the river dead. As Detective Scala investigates he discovers that the apparent simple life of the victim is actually very complex. As more secrets emerge the Detective must stop the killer before they strike again. A thrilling whodunit, this is actually book four in a series, but I easily read it as a standalone story, however having been introduced to the Detective, I’m intrigued to read the rest of the series. The characters and setting came alive through the detailed descriptive narrative, and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. An entertaining and engaging read, which I recommend.

How to Write a Historical Novel and Love It has quite a bit of information from the writing portion all the way to publishing. I did learn that there is way more to it than just writing a story. There are a lot of things to consider depending on what era you’re more interested in. The author wrote this in a way where everyone can understand and there are a few quirks in it to keep it from being too boring.

A classic enemy turned into a lovers story. Sylvia gives you a storyline and follows through with enough real life events to make you feel like you are living the book but adds the spice you always think about in your dark thoughts. Cash needs to save his bar but Hollis keeps pranking him. Will they call a truce and find the love they are meant to find?

This was such a beautifully written story, I really did enjoy it. The characters were well written and were likeable. Dean and Rae were both great characters to read about, their first encounter actually made me chuckle – Dean was not impressed but there was so clearly an instant attraction between them. They both had past issues that was preventing them both from even contemplating a relationship but I was desperately rooting for them both the whole way through the book. I think Rae was definitely my favourite character, she had such a wonderful personality and was so full of confidence and independence – I just loved her! Overall a lovely read that is well written. I would definitely recommend it to other readers.

Alam – Review by Katie Matthews
I always get excited when I see a new book from this author as I have read and enjoyed so many of hers and this was no exception. I will admit with was a dark romance read but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well written with a great pace and flow to it. I loved the twists and turns and the characters were great to read about. This had a really gritty storyline that kept me turning the pages so I could see what was going to happen. The characters Nazario and Viviano were both really strong – I found them really interesting to read about especially Nazario – he was certainly different to what I expected! I highly recommend this book to people who enjoy the romance on the darker side! You won’t be disappointed!
I love this author so much! Her stories are so much fun to read and this new release from her was just amazing! I loved every minute of it and is definitely one of my favourite reads of 2023 so far! I loved the banter between Hollis and Cash – I’m pretty sure if they were younger they would pushing each other over in the playground and pulling each other’s hair! They had an undeniable amount of chemistry between them but hated each other equally! There were a lot of laugh out loud moments especially between the two main characters which made it very entertaining to read! I am really looking forward to the next book in this series!

This book was an ok read for me. I had a rough time getting into the book particularly the setting and the conversation between the characters hit me wrong. I thought the chemistry was good. I would like to try other books by this author because I just thing I had trouble relating to the atmosphere which made it sit in a tough spot for me.

I found this story to be fascinating. A murder mystery that could suck you in. It is the fourth book of the series but you can still read it as a standalone. I will be going back to read the others. I don’t want to share much as I feel with will give away too much. I can tell you that this is so well done. The storyline is perfect for suspense and mystery. I found the characters had me guessing. Just right! I think you should give this book a chance and read it. You won’t be disappointed.

Mann – Review by Shelly Kittell
This story had me giggling so much. Hollis and Cash are just meant for each other, if they can get over the prank war. I found their chemistry “sparkling” to say the least. Like Cash had shot a “load of sparkle” all over. This is one of the best contemporary romances I’ve read this year. The humor, drama, mystery with the other brothers and the excitiement between the two businesses made for some great reading. I couldn’t put it down. These two had “it” straight off from the start. It was fun watching them work through trust issues. Exciting writing, characters that felt like friends, you have to read this one. I can’t wait for the next book.

Such a beautiful story of two people set in their own way, finding a love beyond their imagination. Dean had a plan for his life that included marriage and family. When he is left at the altar, he walls himself off from being hurt like that again. Rae has her own reasons for avoiding love. These two must find it in themselves to let go of the past to move on to a live worth finding.

This was a great read. I have enjoyed everything this author had written in the past and this was no different. This story is very dark as well as steamy. What I love about the characters is just when you think you have them figured out you realise you don’t at all. The attraction and chemistry between Nazario and Viviana is strong and instant. Viviana is a strong female until she is with Nazario the she becomes so submissive to him. Viviana is a big surprise in this story. Nazario is a hard character to figure out, one minute I loved him and the next I hated him. One things for sure once you meet these characters you never forget them.
Viviana is set on a course for revenge. After Nazario’s father kills her friend Viviana will stop at nothing to make sure he pays. Even if that means pretending to be his mistress. All she thinks about is revenge until something gets in her way Nazario. Nazario wants his father gone too but at his hand. He knows how much he stands to gain from his father demise but also how much danger Viviana is in even trying to get revenge herself. Will they work together to rid the world or his father or will Viviana be hell bent on doing this her way? And what happens when his father is gone? Will they live HEA? Or will the new found power go straight to Nazario’s head? Will getting revenge against his father help Viviana heal or will it send her down a road she can’t escape from?
This story has it all, danger, secrets, lies, passion, revenge, and is a story you will not be able to put down or forget.
This was my first book by this author. I almost didn’t get it because of how long it is, but it sounded so interesting that I really wanted to read it. I’m glad I did! It was a fast read for me. To me it was very realistic and I got attached to Fenimore’s character from page one. This story is very well written. I definitely recommend giving this book a chance, despite its length.

Hayes is the worst neighbor in the entire history of neighbors.
She’s also the hottest.
F.M.L.
I don’t have time to fight with the dog groomer next door. There’s a brewery to run, siblings to rein in, and a mom to look after. So if Hollis thinks I’ll roll over and let her drive me out of business, she’s not nearly as smart as she thinks she is.
Sure, I enjoy the little pranks we play on each other, and I don’t hate watching her prance around in those tight leggings. But she’s gone too far this time, even if she pretends to know nothing about it.
I’ll do whatever it takes to save my business from going under, and if that means playing dirty with the girl I love to hate, game on.

Fallen Soul is the fourth instalment in the War of Destiny series by Theresa Van Spankeren. Each book in this series builds on what has come previously, making for a fantastic read. I highly recommend reading the previous three books before starting on this one, because as I mentioned, the instalments build on one another, creating a ‘bigger picture’, not to mention hours of entertaining adventure to plunge into. This is an original, clever and intriguing paranormal saga with vampires, action, adventure, high stakes, politics, agendas, atmospheric world building, danger, tense developments, violence, and plenty of suspense. Happy reading!

“In this day and age with UFOs and UAPs being seen by military personnel and civilians alike, it seemed only appropriate that I include them in my latest book, “Mission 3047.” ETs, extraterrestrial beings, have been a part of my life for many years now. I have talked with many and have taken pictures of UFOs with my phone’s camera. You can see three of them on the cover. I was lucky, I guess, that the soul of a dear friend of mine cared to share her deepest fantasies with me and permitted me to write them as I saw fit. It was a nice fit since I love to write soul stories. All of my books include the story of at least one soul. My lifetime work has been to help souls heal and arrive at the destination here that most fits them and their particular gifts thus helping their human hosts heal as well. I hope you have enjoyed my books and have shared them with your friends.”
Mission 3047: One Soul’s Fantasy by Stuart Ledwith is another original offering from this unique author. This book tells June/Chloe’s story, along with some of the author’s own experiences making up the body of the story. We read of family, connections, secret missions, alien life, space exploration, time travel, sci-fi themes, new age concepts, and much more. Again, as with his other unique offerings, I appreciate the amount of blood, sweat, and soul that the author puts into his writing, as well as his unique take on things. The story definitely gets a little wordy in places but that didn’t detract from the overall story. Happy Reading…

What I Wish I’d Known: For Writers by H.D. Thomson is a great writing aide for anyone interested in becoming an author or people just interested in things an author experiences. Within these pages is a myriad of knowledge, tips, and information compiled from one hundred authors.
I really enjoyed getting tips from all the different authors because no one has the exact same experiences or ways of doing things. You get information on several different ways, just emphasizing how there’s no right way. You just have to find what works for you. With this variety, you should be able to find at least a few things to help you grow as a writer and get you one step closer to your dream of becoming published. This book is an easy, informative and interesting read that even includes advice from indie authors.

Lea Cherry is a new author for me and wow! I really enjoyed this read! This book is third in the series and I definitely recommend reading in order unlike me, I had to go back and catch up because I did feel as if I was missing info! However! What a great read! A lot going on and big choices to make for our MC. I found the book exciting, surprising and really a great series of books to get lost in! Definitely a YA book but at almost 30, I really did lose myself in them! The drama was to die for and the twists and turns had me hooked!

A Stranger in Disguise is the fourth book in the Inspector Scala Mystery series by P.J. Mann. I hadn’t read any of Ms. Mann’s books before, but I love a gripping read, so I was intrigued by what I would find here. What I discovered is a well-woven and suspenseful crime & investigation whodunit mystery- with murder, police procedure, drama, twists, secrets, and tension. This mystery is set in Rome, adding an extra element of interest to the whole story. With the staging of a cursed play comes murder and intrigue. We join the investigation following our stubborn detective as he endeavours to get to the bottom of it all. But with the body count mounting the case becomes more complex. What happens makes for an engaging read. I will definitely be going back to read the first three books, before continuing with the rest of the series. Happy reading…

Mann – Review by Angela Hayes
I really enjoy this author’s books so much and I was already captivated by the cover and decided to dive right in. This paranormal fantasy story had betrayal, choices, creatures, magic, drama and a little bit of romance.
Zoe wants to be a heroine, born to be a fighter, along with her brother with high expectations from her family. When this mysterious black mist is upon, being aware of the creatures it may stir at night, Zoe wants to be ready to fight. Nothing is what it seems when Zoe is learning hard truths as she fights for her life. When Zoe falls for one of the notorious creatures, will things change or will the world turn their backs like that have been for so long leaving Zoe to fend for herself?
I would love to see more come from this story, from Zoe and Simone to possibly other creatures.. this story is engaging and intriguing.
