Not So Far (Love Grows series, Book 3) by Renee Regent is a second chance romance story. I suggest reading the books in order to get the full back story etc on the characters that Renee writes so well. It is a bit of an emotional read but there is lots that has happened. Renee has given us another wonderful read and you will not be disappointed and I can’t wait to see what she gives us next.
Audrey and Silas had true love, or so she thought. Now he is back in town and her feelings are just as strong but there is so much water under the bridge, so much anger, so much pain, so much lost, so many secrets.

This book is one steamy read I could not wait to get my hands on! When I tell you just from the summary alone, I was hooked but once I actually started reading, I could not put it down. Seemed like I was obsessed to finish reading it just to write this review! Jax Hunt is a disabled young man who is itching to make some changes in his life. He loves his career but it’s not what he dreamed it’d be. His friends are his ride-or-dies and an understanding family. Jax has a lot to prove to himself but wants to show the world what he can do. Lennox Austin walks into his life where she notices him. As much as he wants to prove himself, Lennox’ brother is the only thing in Jax’ way but Jax eyes are on the prize that is Jax. Will Jax accomplish what he’s setting out to do or will he fold under pressure? This book did not disappoint in the least! Pick up and be entertained in multiple ways; you won’t regret it.

This is the second book I’ve read by Cynthia Hamilton and I loved the first one. I couldn’t wait until this one. It was amazing just like I knew it would be. I was hooked from the second I started reading and it didn’t end until I finished it. I absolutely cannot wait for more. Cynthia Hamilton is one of my new favorite authors. Madeline is at it again, amazing and uncovering the truth no matter what happens. Please read this series! This time with Mike by her side through the whole thing, they uncover murders, thefts and deceit. I love crime books and this series and author are top of the game.

Boot – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
I loved this story for a few different reasons. First off he is/was a motor cross racer. That is something not seen too often in romance books. Secondly he is wheelchair bound. I loved seeing and getting his take on things now that he is unable to be so popular. He has new struggles and challenges just in daily functions. It’s great to read how he as adapted. I won’t even mention the ladies. Lastly it’s weird how this accident affected his family. it is frustrating and in parts endearing. Then there is Lennox Austin. She is not what I expected but It turns out she is perfect for Jax.
I love the relationship between Jax and his roomie and Levi. They speak to each other only as friends can. Which includes arguments, poking fun at each other and serious talks. Then I feel Michelle deserves a nod of recognition as well. While a small character she did so much for Jax.
I enjoyed reading this and finished it at a quick pace. I loved getting to know these characters. The author wrote them so well they feel real…I loved that! I have not read any other books in this series. I did not feel like I was missing anything and this is easily a stand alone with trailers to others in the series.

This is not my first read from Brooke May and will definitely not be my last. I have always loved the way that Brooke May can pull the emotions to the surface of the story and use them in a way to tell it with a little bit of extra love. I have to say this has to be one of my favorites that I have read from her in awhile and I really loved the characters that this story includes all main and supporting make an impact perfectly. I am a huge fan of Jax, the main male lead in this story. He is a sweetheart with a disability that keeps him from feeling like he fits in or can stand as tall or strong as those surrounding him. He most certainly isn’t looking for the kind of emotions that he experiences when Lennox walks into his life. Then there is the added stress of her brother, a twist that will make things interesting. I loved how this book played out and how it even didn’t go as I had anticipated in some places and I just loved it. I can’t wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Brooke May.

Deleted by Ruth Mitchell. This story was out of my normal of reading pleasure but I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the journey. It’s a very original story unlike anything I’ve read and I was hooked. The characters bring the story to life and completely draw you into their world. I was up well into the night because I simply had to know where this story was going and I couldn’t put it down until I knew. Each page had me trying to read faster and slower at the same time. The characters are complex and well developed. The storyline is unique and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Very impressed by this story and author. Four big stars and highly recommended. Can’t wait to see more from this author.
Not So Far (Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent
4 Stars
This was an awesome story, it moved quickly and I was able to read it in one sitting. I couldn’t wait to read Audreys book after finishing the last one. I love second chances especially when filled with both having secrets, and in this case pretty big secrets. I will admit Silas was not my favorite male lead but Silas and Audrey together made up for it.
I loved the little twists and turns this story took and it pulled at many of my emotions and I wish there had been a little more depth to the character building and the connection shared years ago which might have helped in feeling a bit more of a connection. In saying all of that and this not being my favorite of the three I still really enjoyed the story and if there is more to this series I will absolutely be reading them.
I love this author and she has a solid spot on my must read list!
I recommend this story, actually all of this series..They can be read as standalones but grab them all, you won’t be sorry!

This is a great story following the story of Kara the princess of Starrycrest.
After her adoption by the king and queen Kara adjusts to life as a princess. She enjoys her life and her new family until Queen Misty drops some news which will change her world. Misty is pregnant.
Kara starts to doubt her place in the family, worrying that the queen and king wont need her once their baby arrives. She is always told to love the way she dances but she doesnt understand what that means.
Add to her turmoil her need to help her friend Tyler find his forever family and the threat of revenge from a Troll can she keep it all together and perform her part of Sugary Plum Fairy or will all the stress and pressure get to much for her?
I loved this story about families and love and learning that to love the way you dance means to love without being scared or holding anything back.

Figure In The Flames is a box set of books containing the first three stories from Mina Chara’s Hero High collection. Friday Fitzsimmons discovers she has a superpower , they are rare but not unheard of in the futuristic world in which these books are set. All superheroes are sent to train at the elite ‘Hero High’ which is not just a school, but also a reality TV show. Friday would much rather let others take the limelight, but when she earns the title of ‘gifted’ it soon shifts to her. As with all High Schools Friday experiences highs and lows. But, what she doesn’t expect is to become an integral part in the fight against enemies and in the battle to save the city. Friendships are tested, mysteries are solved and battles are fought. The books in this collection are all short, fast paced reads, aimed at the YA audience. They are brilliant if you enjoy action packed drama and have the imagination to help bring it all to life. I love the character of Friday, she really isn’t your average superhero and she has internal struggles to conquer as well as facing the bad guys too.

Love the way you dance by Allison M. Boot a sweet and starry five-star read. This is a sublime story that you can while away a few hours reading and just enjoy the warmth from the story, I adore Kara and how brave she is, not brave as she faces life with a disability but brave for being who she is. This is a great fairy-tale complete and will bring many aspects to the life of the reader, its great for all ages and will help everyone see through different eyes.

And the River Runs Deep by A.J. Ullman a five-star read that took my breath away. This was an odd one for me as I adore True crime, but I don’t normally enjoy reading about it, and haven’t for years I enjoy devouring it in other mediums instead but this has re-ignited my passion as this isn’t like your typical true crime read, as it’s a novel based on an investigation, but its so well done it will leave you questioning everything. This is such a gripping tale that once you pick it up you wont be able to put it down for anything, its such a well plotted and interesting story that you need to pick it up and sink yourself into the investigation.

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara is a fantastic fantasy story all wrapped in one book. I loved the series and really enjoyed the adventure I got to take with Friday and her superhero journey. There is so much to love about the series, there is something to be said about a “dystopian” world where you watch super heroes on tv and then get to see the behind the scenes. I loved all the twists and turns that the story took and the wonderful character development. This is a great bundle to get through on a long weekend or if you have the time to just sit and devour it in one sitting.

“From out of mist are wild things born. Seek the truth beyond the thorn. Where curses lurk and kin reside, Fox and fire stem the tide.”
“Do you have faith in magic?” he asked. My heart pounded in my chest. I fingered the rose quartz pendant with my rain-soaked, sweaty fingers. “I…” I stammered but pressed on. “Of all the things in my life, magic is the one constant.” There. I admitted it. Out loud. First time ever. His outstretched hand waited….
Tangled Fates is the second book in the Tangled Magic seriesby Denise D. Young. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Young, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. I was drawn to the book by the beautiful cover and intriguing blurb. But Ms. Young had me hooked at the mention of witch and fox shifter. I love a great paranormal story- and this book definitely cast its spell over me. Even though it is the second book in the series, that wasn’t a problem as I was able to follow the story easily. But, as the events from book one seem to have caused far reaching issues and had led to the events in this book, so I will definitely be going back to read the first book to see where everything started. This book follows different leading characters than in the first book. We meet Vivienne (Vi) who is a fire witch, and Aiden McPherson who is a fox-shifter. They lead us on an adventure filled with magic, potions, curses, small town charm, prophecy/mystical riddles, different realms, portals, secrets, sparks/chemistry, evil, danger, drama, paranormal events and characters, romance, and more. This is a fast-paced short story which made it a very quick and easy read. It kept me engaged the whole way through, and intrigued me into wanting to know more about the Tangled Magic world. I will definitely be following the rest of the series!

This was an enjoyable story that was in the shorter side. It was a paranormal story that had me from the beginning. It was written well and I enjoyed the authors attention to detail. The main charcters were Vi and Aiden and I liked them alot. Change is coming and we follow their story when their lives become intertwined and feelings get stirred up. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author! Happy Reading!

Not So Far (Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent
5-Stars
Not So Far (Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent was an excellent read! I finished this book in one sitting and could not put it down. Silas returns to Atlanta following the deathbed his grandfather. He and his cousin are dealing with the old farm. He takes a stroll down memory lane and meets his past love. Audrey is a recent widow and mother to three children. She has had an easy life spent with a husband who has cared for her but not in the way she desired. She craves passion and desires what she had in the past with Silas. She also has a secret that she hasn’t shared until recently. Can the two find common ground and rekindle the fire?
I loved Silas and Audrey. Audrey was spunky for such a southern lady. Silas was sweet, romantic, and definitely not the boy she used to know. Audrey’s secret had me at the edge of my seat for a bit. I had so many emotions while reading this book! It was amazing and pulled at my heart strings. I easily give it 5 stars and can’t wait to read more in this series. I highly recommend it!

This is the book I never knew I needed to spring me off into the summer with! Eat Me is the debut novel from Amber Dark and the first book of the Mayim Merman Books, hopefully that means that we will get more sexy and steamy mermen to enjoy soon!I could not put this book down! I didn’t know what to expect, and I will be honest I would have thought this not to be my cup of tea. I love mermaids as a thought though so I decided when I saw the delectable cover to give this a go and not only did I eat this up, I DEVOURED it is one fell swoop. This book is hot, hot, hot, and will have you peeking over the edge of your kindle or book hoping to not find people hearing you moan out loud or gasp as the heat is happening on the pages. I won’t give this book away because for me the blurb is enough and any more would ruin it. I loved the characters and the way they mingled so well. It sincerely felt as if I was reading something that had happened and was very real to me. I was invested in Summer and Mayim, as well as all the other supporting and fabulous characters that came along. I would run, not walk, and snag you a copy of this book today. Pair it up with some sun and a sexy drink and you will have the time of your life following Mayim and Summer!

Not So Far is the third book in the Love Grows Series from Renee Regent. I have really enjoyed the series up until now and was very ready to get my hands on this next installment. I was so blown away with how much this book completely swallowed me whole and didn’t spit me back out until I had finished that last page. I found myself just really wanting more because I couldn’t get enough of these characters. I would not be surprised if I find this book in my hands a few more times to be enjoyed again and again.
Personally I would recommend that you read the books in order before getting to this one, but can see where you could read as a stand alone if you really wanted to. This one we follow mainly Silas and Audrey. Fate has decided to give these two a chance at love again but both of them have already been through this and faced a heartbreak once before. Can Audrey let Silas back in, especially when she just now feels like her life is in balance? Things come to a crazier twist when we find out a Silas has a secret that would jeopardize everything. What he doesn’t know is Audrey has her own. Will these two ever get a chance at happiness together? I highly recommend this series, book, and author, can’t go wrong! I will be anxious to see what we will get next from her!

This is the second book of the Tangled Magic Series from Denise D. Young, and also my first read by her. I had no issues with not having read the first book yet, but now that I have read and enjoyed the second I may just go back and check out book one.
In this one we find Aiden and Vivienne as the main characters, and they are thrust smack dab in the middle of a mess of things. The land they live in Willow Creek is under a dark curse that threatens the magic of the entirety of magic there. Will these two be able to withstand the trials of what is going on around them and find a spark to keep their love alive in the chaos?
I loved how this book took me away to a far away magical place that felt very real and tangible to me after reading the book. I didn’t even know how quickly I had become engrossed in this novel that I ended up reading well into the early hours of the morning to find out how things would turn out in the end. I am curious to see what will come next and if there is more to this series to come!

Deleted, by Ruth Mitchell, is a fantastic, near future novel. It has you wanting to keep reading to find out what happens. It is thought provoking and a new concept novel, both of which can be rare to find. It looks ahead, but not too far, so things still feel familiar but have some added technology. “Spex” has taken over from phones and iPads, everything is thought controlled. Perfect, right? But, what happens when you can’t trust your own thoughts, you can’t trust that what you remember is accurate, and some memories have been eradicated entirely. Lucy is a fairly traditional girl, she’s a book loving college student just embarking on life’s adventures. When she embarrasses herself in front of the guy she fancies she’d do just about anything to make him forget, and she finds out that her sister Mollie can actually help her do this. Lucy’s life takes some unexpected turns, she experiences highs and lows but whatever the memories she knows she wants to keep them, which is why she runs after becoming tangled with the mysterious Nick, a memory hacker. This is a brilliant book, and suitable for adults and young adults alike, I would definitely recommend it.

Springs Calling by Sarah Biglow is a Seasons of Magic Urban Fantasy novel. This is a well written novel with and engaging main character. The book is centred around Ezri and her life. She is the Saviour and it is up to her to solve the case. With her as the focal point it really gives you, as the reader, a focus an helps you to engage in the book. I found it to be an exciting read, the magic and the normal combined well. The author creates a world where both exist in a convincing manner. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to reading more of this authors work.

This was such an enjoyable read! I loved the characters and I loved the storyline. I kind of felt that the story had a fairy tale feel to it and it definitely had a lovely magical element to it. The characters I the story have their own issues/problems to overcome and I really enjoyed seeing how they dealt with the issues arising in their lives. Kara was a sweet character; I loved how she thought and how she thought of others and their happiness. I have read books by this author before and I really love her writing style, the magical world she creates comes alive as I’m reading. I would absolutely recommend this book to other readers!

Hansel & Gretel (Down the rabbit hole) This is a collection of short stories, by multiple authors retelling the classic story of Hansel and Gretel. I never used to like retellings of classic stories, until I came across the Alice in wonderland collection. I love reading this book, I think my favourite story was probably Erin Lee’s Hazel and Gretchen, it was absolutely haunting, I got chills reading it, I don’t want to give any spoilers but it’s about two girls who’s parents are just awful, it’s in Hazels voice and I was almost in tears by the end of part 1. Another one I really enjoyed was Amy Allen’s the witch in the woods. All fantasy and Fae kings, more of a traditional retelling and sticks quite close to the original Hansel and Gretel. Just brilliant, thank you.
Hansel and Gretel: Down the rabbit hole is a collection of seven short stories based on the actual fairy tale deftly written by different authors. Each author unleashes their imagination a different way and it was interesting to see those fragments weave into seven lovely creations. Each story has different flavors, romance, horror, fantasy, fear and conceit. I liked the first and the last one the best. The first is when the witch is more like a namesake guardian to the two children who are sent to Earth from another realm. The witch is also banished as the king’s son suspects that the witch loves his father. It has a fairy tale romance ending where the witch and the king are reunited and show children the happy way of life. Another story which I liked was the Dragon and the Phoenix by Rachel Pudsey. In this story, the prince and the princess in a realm are expected to gain their super powers after a certain age. The prince gains it and shapeshifts into a dragon, but there are several side effects which occur because of this. This is supposed to be neutralized by the Phoenix, the shape shifting form of the princess. But unfortunately, the princess does not gain the powers which leaves the prince, the king and his kingdom in great misery. One more story which strikes the chord in lieu with the current pandemic is The Surface by Cee Cee Elaine. People in this story wear masks and head to the bunkers for the lockdown. Overall it is a very enjoyable read and I really liked it ! Looking forward for more such anthologies !
This is the first series I have read from this author and now I’m hooked. I absolutely love fantasy books but this author exceeded all my expectations. This set has three books to this amazing series. The first book is called Denial, then Anger, and lastly Bargaining. Once I started this series I could not stop. You will fall in love with all of the characters. I hope there will be more books in the future.
Denial
Friday is like your normal seventeen year old. She had friends and family but when her dad finds out she has a super power he ships her to a special school. Friday is shipped to the number one hero school, Hero High. She is now in a more structured environment that she doesn’t like. Friday also has to be filmed everyday but at least she has her best friend by her side. She is surprised when she finds out what it takes to be a superhero. Friday doesn’t have the time because this man that is on fire is making trouble and Friday needs to find out why. Will Friday fit into her new school or will she be the outcast?
Anger
Friday is getting used to her new school for superheroes. She is still wondering what the guy that was on fire was all about. Friday is now being followed everyday and she now met a new super villain. She wants to know where they came from but it is very dangerous. Friday is starting to believe that production is behind some of this but why? Will Friday be able to trust anyone or are they all lying to her?
Bargaining
Friday is now part of the gold team but everything else is falling apart. She still feels like she is being watched and her friendship with Jake is breaking. Friday is now popular and even the film crew is helping her out. She doesn’t want to let Captain Fantastic down either.

This book was interesting from start to finish. It leads you down unexpected paths as you are seen through Friday’s lens. She’s in a reality show involving superheroes at a high-powered high school. In a fellowship where stardom is all around them as they come into their own as the champions they are. Conquerors are all around them rescuing others around the clock. Captain Fantastic leads the famous heroes. Friday and Jake are both childhood friends who are recruited to be next in line to combat evil forces to save their world from destruction. Returning from the abyss, Doctor Dangerous and the Figure in the Flames, Captain Fantastic faces the ultimate betrayal. Up against major forces including her childhood friends and believing in Doctor Dangerous, Friday must make a dire choice that could catapult her into stardom and rise above as the hero she is. This beautiful world building trilogy keeps you on your toes and to a place you’d never imagined. These characters are lovable and worth the read as we go on an awesome adventure with them through every book. I’ve loved these books from the author. Fantastic reads!

From start to finish, I enjoyed each story. Each one a different take on the classic tales. So many conversations could be sparked following each one. You wouldn’t expect romance, child abuse, mental illness, etc. to be in a series like this but it was such a pleasant surprise to read. Thank heavens I enjoy being scared too, LOL, because some invoke fear in you and also a sweeter side to the series as well. I loved it!
Crystal Brooke just received heartbreaking news and has now found a new lease on life. She’s on an adventure to support her best friend getting married but on the search for a rendezvous, a romp in the sheets, if you will. She creates a tangled web when her new fling is someone totally unexpected. Spencer is on the prowl for the same thing Crystal is but has crushed on one of his best friends for awhile. He’s eager for Crystal to see him differently than who he has been. Will Spencer succeed in taming Crystal or will Crystal’s battle for her life run him away? This book is heartbreaking yet fun to read. Love conquers all and this is well worth the emotional journey we take with these characters through their ride. I loved it from cover to cover.

Practically-minded, brutally honest, Carol Winters is at the peak of her career and for the most part has avoided relationships by her own default. Her boundaries are tested when she’s chosen as lead designer for Calderone Industries and must work with the bosses’ son. He’s creative and handsome but he’s intervening with her work. Charles Calderone is an expert at the finer things in life but doesn’t want to settle for just a job when his knowledge expands further than just that. Being VP at the family’s firm is challenging (to say the least) but he’s got his sights on an architect. As she is gorgeous and gifted, but she annoys the hell out of him by bugging him to consult on every design decision! The more heated their arguments get, the more they learn to like one another but their worlds entwine sooner than later. They have to wiggle through their madness to find common ground but will they? Or will both their careers be lost because of this? I found that this book was sweet, romantic and unpredictable. The tit for tat battle these two create for themselves make the book playful. Their work relations make it more adult and I found it very intriguing to read. I loved this pleasant read!
