HOPE is the 4th book in “The Feisty Lawyers Series” and this story can absolutely be read as a stand-alone with no problem. I do recommend reading in order if you can because there are threads and layers that tie all of the books together which make for very rich reading.
As with all of the books in this series, there is action and adventure and suspense. This is a shorter story and can be read in one sitting. It moves quickly and there aren’t any wasted words or scenes used as filler.

Cowboy stories are not my go to reads but I love a good Christmas story so figured I would check out this anthology. I am familiar with a few of the authors and this was my introduction to others.
This anthology really does run the gamut of genres. There is military romance, second chances, faith, fate, and more. What each has in common is that it is a complete story with a beginning, middle and end and can be read as stand-alones, oh and of course Christmas. Who doesn’t love a wee Christmas miracle every now and again?
I feel like there was a good range of stories and story telling styles to keep me interested from beginning to end. While a couple were not what I would typically read (more than just involving a cowboy) I gave it a shot an was pleasantly surprised.
This is an anthology I would recommend to get one into the holiday spirit.

So I grabbed this book not knowing what it would be about, how many pages, etc. I thought it was going to be a GOT type of story. It is not BUT IT IS JUST AS GOOD!!!!
The story is written in a very unique narrative, the chapters are super short and each is told in a different voice. I still don’t know how many pages there are – I tried to read it all at once but I had to go to work. I finished it at lunch and I am very grateful I don’t have to punch a time-clock because sometimes being an adult is hard.
Ok, without giving anything away I will tell you the following:
A. This is a clean book, there was no cussing and no sex B. The protagonist is a strong female who lifts women up instead of holding them down C. There are a few interesting fellows D. This book see its characters take almost a “spiritual” journey to new self awareness. E. It is very visually written and I was transported into the book watched it like a movie
I look forward to reading more in this series (please tell me this is a series). I’m going to check the author’s other books to add to my WTR (want to read) list.

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I think this book is the exception. The story is exactly as the cover conveys. It is a sweet story about a dog and her purpose. Oh sure, that’s not how the book is actually written but I just know that this is Maxine’s story. Fine, Fine, Fine… June and Graham have a meet cute and blah blah blah. Can we talk about the dog now?? Great Danes truly are magical and Maxine is one of dreams. Oh, so June and Graham … Hahaha I’m joking
I really enjoyed this quick read. It is a sweet romance about not judging a book by its cover. In this case, though, it is a person named June. June is much more than her dowdy look would lead on. She is strong and brave and beautiful.
The story is sort of a modern day fairy tale and I absolutely recommend it. It is a good read for young and old alike.

CA King is a one click author for me based on name alone.
HANG ON TO YOUR SHIRT TAILS is Book 2 in the “Chasing Tails” series. Book 1 lays the groundwork and I think it is important to read this series in order.
This story is about racism, a caste system, “genocide”, family of choice, acceptance, love and solution based problem solving. This has fantastic action, surprises and was a great read.
“I didn’t get to where I am by trusting people.” I totally trust this author to take me on a journey in every book.

King – Review by Maura Harper
I love the covers in this series. There is something about them that I was just drawn to. They have a unique feel to them and I think perfectly fits with the series.
FROM THE ASHES is the third and final book in the “Ashes to Ashes” series and it is my opinion that this series should be read in order. This author has a very distinctive writing style and tells a very detailed tale.
As with the other books in the series, I did find myself skimming a little bit because I wanted to know what was going on faster than I could read. This is a great psychological thriller and at times I was twisting and turning to figure out what was going on.
While this was my first series by this author, it will not be my last.

When I saw that this was a copy mystery, I was expecting something similar to “Murder She Wrote” or something as sweet. Within the first 10 pages we learned the gruesome way someone died. BLECH I have never been in, nor will I now ever go into a chicken house. Come to think of it, I’m not sure I want to ever eat chicken after reading the workings of a chicken (slaughter) house. Has anyone ever survived on chocolate alone? I digress…
CHICKEN SCRATCH is the first book in “The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series” and it is a full set up on who Madison is and how she has found herself in the precarious position she is in. Madison ends up back in Juliet, Texas “the most boring town in the state of Texas” to live with her grandmother after a few life events left Madison and her children to fend for themselves in life.
The book has a mystery, some humor, great friends and familiar relationships. Madison and her best friend Genny definitely have a “Laverne and Shirley” vibe to them. “I always envisioned (personal shopping) as being a bit glitzier. I thought when you were a personal shopping, you got to buy things like fur coats and plush furnishings… So far, you’ve been stuck buying hearing aids supplies and bladder control pads.”
There is a lot that goes on in the story and the protagonist certainly finds herself in some interesting, death defying situations. I didn’t “bond” with her for some reason but it could be the space I am in.
Not everything is wrapped in a bow at the end, so I’m sure there is more high-jinx to come in the next book.

“The first thing you need to understand is there are powers and forces in this world most humans don’t know about or or believe in.”
This is a terrific set of stories. Each story is about the size of a novella and features a different set of main characters. The common thread that ties them together – supernatural love and super hot sex.

Payne – Review by Maura Harper
HIDDEN TRACKS is the second book I’ve read by this author. There is a lot to unpack in this book. There are well developed secondary characters at the beginning of the story which frustrated me because i felt like I was missing something. I actually stopped reading and searched the author’s backlog to see what books the other band members where written in – they weren’t. At about 27% in, we find out about the other characters during an interview with the two main protagonists. At that point I was over the who/what and where and moved on.
Seth is a musician; “I’m not some romanticized rock star, some tortured artist with a tragic backstory that left me with some awful hole in my heart that I need to fill with fame or sex or drugs…. But I am just a small-town boy who got called a prodigy and didn’t give a shit about that as long as it meant I got to do what I love and it made my parents proud.” Astrid is a journalist who is writing a story about a band when she meets Seth. From their meet cute to the more complex parts of their journey, the story had a strong arc and carried itself from beginning to end.
I always appreciate the work that a writer puts into their craft and in this book there is a story and then there are songs. At times, the writing is so visual I could actually hear the music while I was at the bar watching the band.
So while there were things that frustrated me, there were things that thrilled me so in the end it all evened out.

This is the third book in the Karina Cardinal series. It can be read as a stand-alone as the story stands on it’s own, but the recurring characters are developed in the beginning of the series. While you will be able to settle into the story, I think it’s best if the series is read in order.
I’m now used to the protagonist’s intricate nature and quirks, so some things don’t come as a surprise. There are quite a few times that things are not as they seem and the intrigue and adventure move fluidly through out the story.
DIAMONDS & DECEPTION was a little bit slower in the beginning than the previous two stories, stick with it because the pace does pick up.
I recommend this book, this series and this author.

TOXIC BLONDE is book 2 in The Delarosa Series and can be read as a stand-alone.
Johnny Delarosa is a private investigator and because this book is told in first person, I find myself narrating it in the old timey detective voice. Very noir in nature. There are layers and twists and suspense and everything that makes a detective series good.
This is an enjoyable read that was easy to follow and I definitely recommend it.

CLAIMING THE COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS is Book 4 in “The Hills of Texas” series and can absolutely be read as a stand-alone .
This is a quick and easy read. There is a teeny bit of angst and some really sweet moments. It is a story of forgiveness and second chances. Told in first person with dual POV this story moves at a good pace and is very holiday centered.
I enjoyed this story and the other books on the series.

This is one of those series that could be contained in one epic novel but the way it written makes it easier to pick up and put down as life warrants.
The three books in this boxed set features interconnected stories with recurring characters. The story is multilayered and had a little bit of everything. Romance, supernatural, friendship and life changing decisions.
I have always enjoyed this author’s tales and I recommend this boxed set.
One of the great things about Kindle Unlimited is that I can borrow books that I wouldn’t “normally” read.
BENEATH THE FALLEN CITY is the first book of what looks like a 6 book series (so far). Book 1 is a lot of world building detailing the who’s who and the what’s what.
There are a few weird twists and it seems as if the story line was being plotted as it was written. It changes direction and it never really puts itself back in the same direction again.
I will be adding book 2 to my TBR pile because I am curious enough to how the story continues.

Waters – Review by Maura Harper
THE FISHER MEN ON THE X is book 3 in the series and is listed as a stand-alone. I really recommend reading the first two books in the series before this one. I read books 1 and 2 a bit ago and it took me until about 50% through to not feel unsettled and like I was only seeing parts of the story. Don’t get me wrong, the story in Book 3 is fantastic, it was just all the other characters and back stories that kept me on my toes. It is told in a dual POV with minimum flashbacks to set the stage. The story moves at a pretty good pace and I love that the roles are reversed and supported as much as if they were gender normative.
This is Zach Fisher’s story and as I was reading, it felt like I’d read his character before. Something about the way he tattoos with his tongue out. Well of course I’d read this before because his twin was in Book 1 and describes the motion. THAT’S I mean about how it was a little tough to piece together for a while.
The healing that takes place in this story is breathtaking. The respect given to the entire process. These are my favorite quotes in the story:
“There is value in every person who graces your life, even if it’s for the briefest of moments.” “I survived before I could live, so this is nothing.”
This book was so movingly beautiful in certain scenes – I cried; Other times I chuckled.
Xander was book 1 Connor was book 2 Zach was book 3 Morgan is going to be book 4
I will go back and at least peruse the first 3 before I pick up book 4.

CONFESSION: This author is an auto one-click for me because I enjoy all of her books. I read these books based on the author’s name alone.
Glad I got that out of the way…
HITTING THE HIGH NOTE is Book 3 of the Four Horsemen Series and it is my very strong recommendation that you read this series in order. This story is Uriel’s and he may be my favorite sibling.
I do not want to give anything away in this story so I will continue to be vague, just know that there was an ad that said… “Demons and followers seeking the key to the gates of hell…” I mean, how can a story not be a 5 star read with THOSE words written into a paragraph.
I absolutely recommend this story, this series and this author.

I originally read these stories individually and I love that they are now a box set. To be able to read from beginning to end is a pleasure.
This is actually a prequel to a series and stands on its own. There is a super strong story line with all of the important components for a good book. It has action, great dialogue, angst, humor and so much more.

“…all the best treasure was hidden in the worst possible pain.”
Remember when 2020 was so far away that we had fantasies about getting info subliminally, clothes that could be changed instantly, and everything is run by AI (who prefer non-binary identies)? Well this story is what our fantasies of the future look like. (Except credit card magnetic stripes are still blown in and rubbed when they don’t work.)
This book is all of that and so much more. The first qtr of the story is the protagonist talking to himself which is how we “see” everything he is doing. The rest of the book is an enjoyable adventure.
This is a LITrpg story. LitRPG is a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy which describes the hero’s adventures within an online computer game. LitRPG books merge traditional book-style narration with elements of a gaming experience, describing various quests, achievements and other events typical of a video game. (Credit: litprg(dot)com)

Wikoff – Review by Maura Harper
Have you ever picked up a book by a favorite author only to realize that your dreams have come true? That happened to me today. I picked up DARK FEATHERS and something felt a little familiar about it. I recognized 2 characters in the first chapter so looked back over this author’s catalog. Yup, in July 2017 I read LAVENDER FIELDS and in my review hoped Joan’s story would be told one day. Well after fast clapping and and doing a happy dance, I went back to reading.
“Oh, be still, my naughty bits.” Joan thinks that of Nix and Phoenix thinks that of chocolate chip cookies. Haha. I honestly think she and I would be friends if she were my neighbor.
I cannot recommend this book enough. I would recommend reading Lavender Fields also. SUCH GOOD AND ORIGINAL STORIES. Humor and angst and burning looks and best friends.
5 stars for Lavender Fields and 5 stars for Dark Feathers equals 10 stars!!!!

“All attendees sat in anticipation of the wonderful event about to unfold.” This is the first line in JOURNEYS THROUGH SPACETIME and much like the attendees at that event, I cracked the binding of this book with much anticipation.
An incredibly detailed story with world building in many different universes and lots of characters pepper this multilayered story. At times I did find myself pausing to remember who was who and where was where. Once I grasped the cadence and rhythm of the story, the pages virtually turned themselves.
This was an enjoyable journey and I look forward to reading more from this author.

PROTECTING HIS HEART is book 2 in the Lawson Family Series and while I think this could absolutely be read as a stand-alone, there are a lot of references made to the Lawson Family as a whole so I think it would be helpful to read book 1 first.
As I prepare to write this review, I realize that this story had no sex and no cursing (if there was any it was minimal enough that I overlooked it). This is the story of family of choice vs family of origin, redemption, forgiveness and love.
This is a quick book. There are some scenes that involve DV which I think could trigger some and was actually surprised that there wasn’t a little bit of a warning. The main characters are two people dealing with demons, some in the past and some in the present. Each is dealing with it in their own way.
I think the way the author navigated a very tough subject was done well. It wasn’t overly glorified and it shows that people do come out the other side with some resiliency, outside help, and the support of good friends.
I look forward to future installments of this series.

From the very first sentence to the very last this book moves along at a pace that is AWESOME. Each and every situation these two war vets are in takes the reader on such a visual adventure it feels like we are being dangled from a helicopter along with them.
Any story that lets us understand the dog’s language is a five star story for me. Both protagonists are so vital to the tale. They co-exist perfectly.
I feel like I used every interjection I learned from “Schoolhouse Rock” while reading this story. I also really appreciate the author taking the time to address the reader and educate us as to what is real and what is not.
While this can be read as a standalone, I think it would be best to read the series in order.

“In this book parents will learn how mindfulness helps kid’s create better coping skills, but also a variety of other useful tools”
While this is illustrated with beautiful illustrations and the message is told in a “child like” tone, I’m not sure who the audience is supposed to be. It seems as if it is geared towards a young babysitter to explain why the youngster in their care is having a meltdown.
Great visualization exercises that I think everyone could learn from.
RUN FROM LOVE is book #2 in The Bowser Belles series and is the first I’ve read in the series. It is a quick easy read.
The story is written in such a way that we are able to watch the characters grow as we turn the pages. There is a sweet innocence to it. It is about love and friendship and bonds that are tight.
The sweet romance is not a genre I read as a rule, and this was so refreshing not to have skim and skip repetitive sex scenes.
This is one of those books that I will recommend to my younger cousins AND elderly book club members. I will be downloading the other books in the series to see what else is going on with “The Bowser Belles”.

TO KILL A FAE is the first story in The Dragon Portal series.
I am a huge fan of Fae AND Dragons and all things in between so this book is right up my alley.
There is great world building in this story. Secondary characters are as well developed as the main characters and carry the story along nicely. There is a freshness about the way the story unravels – although it is obvious as to who is what and why (as titles and blurbs tend to give away) I found myself invested in some of the not so nice characters. I wanted their stories also. I look forward to following the series as it continues.
I would recommend this to my teenage cousins and elderly book club members alike.

India Kells writes wonderful series with strong characters. What I liked about THE DARK SPARROW series is that while the men are strong and the women are stronger.
Each book is a standalone but there are interwoven stories and characters that tie them all together.
I enjoyed rereading these one after the other. Each story is well developed, has a little bit of everything (including superhero undies) and all have satisfying endings.

SECRETS NEVER DIE is one of those books that I read based solely on the author’s name and nothing else. I have always enjoyed the way this author tells a tale and holy moly, this was quite the tale.
This is a well plotted, intricately woven, always in motion story that holds your attention from beginning to end. There are times that I got a little lost because I was reading too fast and missed important details. I had to make myself slow down so I could absorb what was going on.
Fantastic world building, suspenseful, twists and turns abound while leaning why some SECRETS NEVER DIE.
I think this book would make a fantastic selection for a book club or dinner night discussion.

DEVIL’S DILEMMA is Book 4 in the Satans’s Devils MC series and can absolutely be read as a standalone. While there are overlapping characters and story lines, there is enough explanation to understand what is going on.
This is a very detailed, slow paced story that mainly takes place in 5 months time. I will admit that I found myself frequently skimming because it was just too slow for me. It could just be the space I am in but the story just seemed to drag.
I have enjoyed the other stories by this author so I won’t give up on the series.
A side note… I love this cover, it feels like a more real representation of the story.

This is a really quick read. I read every word of the story in about 2 hours. The formatting of the book is set up with super short chapters moving the story along in a linear timeline.
The story has a strong middle and end and while I appreciate a less detailed story, this book is written with such an abbreviated beginning it was hard to understand HOW the instalove came about.
It will be interesting to see if Chase will be mentioned in future installments of this series.
