Luminoso (The Luminara Series, Book 4) by SJ Molloy – Review by Opal Nelson

Luminoso (Luminara, #4)Luminoso by S.J. Molloy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It just keeps getting better and better. After reading Luca’s Lust, I anticipated that the ending chain of events would transition to the beginning of Luminoso but alas SJ had other plans. I delighted in the fact that predictability is not an ingredient in this novel. SJ captivates the readers’ attention and leads them towards an emotionally charged rollercoaster of a literary adventure. I was a bit bummed out about the conclusion of Michael’s character (blame it on me feeling vindictive). SJ created a work of art by incorporating a powerful description of the characters and plot of the story, a good balance of tension and release (at one point I almost threw my Kindle in the wall-almost) and a satisfying conclusion (all is right in the land of Lex & Luca). Overall, I would recommend this book- and I’m hoping that there is something in the works for Cameron- I’d love to see his story be told.

Exhale and Move On AUDIO BOOK by K.L. Shandwick – Review by Lizzie Chapman Gough

Exhale and Move OnExhale and Move On by K.L. Shandwick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Phwoar! This is how I would describe this book! This book is hot and steamy! This was really refreshing for me to read a bisexual romance (M/M/F).This is the story of Rick, a world famous rockstar who plays his music to millions of fans and has women throwing themselves at him day and night. But little does the world know he indulges in men too!
I especially liked the narration of this story.The narrator brought this story to life. The worlds flowed easily and he really brought the characters to life.
My only criticism is that I found that there were quite a few characters introduced and I found it hard to keep up at times with who was who but other than this I really enjoyed this story.

Date NightDate Night by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All I can say about Date Night by K.M. Lowe is wow….. I was expecting a cute little romance book but it swept me right off my feet. Date Night has everything that a romance reader loves a hunky male, a cute shy girl, one heck of a love interest, and even a little drama. Based in Glasgow, Miss Lowe leaves you breathless with her descriptions of the city, and she’ll have your head spinning imagining her characters. At only 139 pages Date Night is a short but amazing romance story and I hope the author thinks about continuing the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Unexpected by Marina Hanna was a really good read! The story keeps you engrossed, and it’s full if steam and sass. This also felt like a very quick read to me as well. It seemed very well written to me, and the characters were also very fascinating. It felt a lot like reading Fifty Shades of Grey to me. If you like reading contemporary romances that have a slight twist this is the novel for you! I’m glad I read this book and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride it took me on.

Flowers in December AUDIO BOOK by Jane Suen – Review by Kerry Baker

Flowers In December Audio Book by Jane Suen is a quick and gentle story about life after losing a loved one. It had been quite a while since I had read this book so I jumped at the chance to listen to the audio book. The story was as lovely as I remembered it being and I was instantly taken back into the life of Connor, who is learning how to live after his mother had passed away. At 2 1/2 hours listening time this was the perfect book to put on during a relaxing afternoon.

I thought the narrator was perfect for the descriptive part of the story. At those times I found that I could get lost completely in what he were saying. I think it fell down just a little at the dialogue. It came across as a little monotonous at times and almost a little “he said, she said”. However it didn’t really detract from the audio book as a whole and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

Flowers in December AUDIO BOOK by Jane Suen – Review by Jenique Bornman

I read Flowers in December back in 2018. Now listening to it and rereading my previous review, I can see how much I have grown. Back in 2018 I hadn’t gone through the heartache of losing someone.
So today 3 years later I look at this story with new eyes and understanding. It really touched me on a whole new level.
Add to that the smooth calming tone of the narrator, this time around I really have a greater appreciation for the book.
Thank you for this.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a GREAT book! I loved this work, and can’t wait to start on the others. Is there a better feeling when you finish an amazing adventure story only to discover there’s more to the journey?

This dystopian post-apocalyptic novel features a group of young people tasked with potentially rebuilding the human race after a deadly virus threatens to bring the world to extinction. There are so many great characters and interesting relationships, I was totally hooked and invested in the world on their island. When magic is discovered, the story is brought to another level, and so many possibilities emerge for these characters and this storyline. I wondered if I would want to read this while in the middle of a global pandemic, but I quickly forgot that an outside world existed. Great writing, a must read!

Our Wicked LiesOur Wicked Lies by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was one “wicked” read! I wish I had found Glede Browne Kabongo sooner! I loved the mental roller coaster this book took me on as I read and could not put this down! I was instantly sucked into this perfect idyllic life of wealth and the lushness that comes with it. Everyone wonders how it must be to never worry right? Well nothing is ever as it seems and this book really examines that exact point perfectly. It takes one family and spins their lives completely three-sixty. I was constantly second guessing my conclusions and was still wrong throughout, which really is the best when it comes to reading a thriller novel. This was one of those books I couldn’t wait to finish because I had to know how it ended, but I was also devastated because I wanted to keep reading. Like a ride that you didn’t want to get off of. I will definitely be checking out Glede Browne Kabongo’s other works as soon as possible and will probably be re-reading this one soon! I am sure I missed some goodies along the way with all the twists and turns!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow, this was a heavy book. I can honestly say I did not know what to expect when I picked this one up. Carmen Richter is a new author to me and this book caught my eye with the cover. I went in blind and probably that was for the best. I tend to judge books based on topic sometimes and I have been trying to break the habit. I am glad that I did so here but this book is a heavy read that hurt my heart for the main character, Zoe. For only being 16 this girl has been through it, good grief. I wanted badly to reach into my kindle and hug her. Things seem to look up for her when she unleashes her grief in a soul crushing performance at an open mic night but the secrets it creates can only cause more tension and possible pain. Will it be another tragedy for her? I will definitely be back for more in the next book to see how things will progress for Zoe. I am really pulling for her!

Blue Summer Part OneBlue Summer Part One by Everly Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fun, delicious read! I tore through this one quickly, and will definitely be checking out Part Two when it drops. Lillie is a young woman alone in a big city, who meets a group of blue beings called the Zayed after she is mugged on her way to work one day. She quickly befriends the men, who are tall, handsome, and infinitely protective of her. When she meets the rest of their clan, she feels very in tune with them, and awed by the magic they hold. Despite their desires to keep her safe, she is feisty and brave in her own right, unwilling to hide behind their bravery without also testing her own mettle. As her relationship with them deepens, so does the danger – a villain is lurking, and all of them together will need to work together to defeat him. The romance littered throughout is occasionally steamy and wonderfully written. Adventure, fantasy, and romance all collide in Blue Summer. A good read.

Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery (Dangerous Curves Book 1)Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

KL Montgomery is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to inclusive and sweet romance reads. When I saw that her newest series had a curvy redheaded librarian at the helm of a cozy mystery I knew I had to get my hands on it and as soon as it dropped. I was so excited that I opened this book in the evening the moment the kiddos went to bed and I actually had it wrapped up and finished later that night. It was SO SO good I just could not put this down. I’m talking my kindle came with me to the bathroom, that good! Not sorry either lol. Sunshine is just about everything I wanted to be in a past life I think. I always have wanted to be a librarian a bit and this made me feel as if I was living vicariously with the vivid descriptions and chapters that made me feel as if I was right there with the characters experiencing everything as it happened in Bryce Beach. I am so thrilled to come back to this series in the near future again and again. The best part is this is a series I feel will be perfect to share with my growing and blossoming teen and pre-teen daughters. I think they will love this one and it has some underlying lessons that can be learned for them that will be well worth the investment of the time. This is one series you do not want to miss!

Our Wicked Lies is an action-packed and suspenseful novel that takes us through one woman’s journey to discover the truth about her husband’s secrets. Alicia, a mother of two and wife to Eliot, begins to suspect that her dearest husband is cheating, and as the plot unfolds, we discover with her that there is much more to Eliot than meets the eye.

This is a perfect story for younger readers. The story is engaging and really drew me in. The beginning was fantastic. Meeting all the characters and learning about why they were at the school. I think that was my favorite part. Learning how all these kids were somewhat misfits and not regarded kindly. Watching them learn to overcome their differences.

Over all the story is fun and engaging. This has a little mystery as well a some funny moments. There also is a nice lesson to be learned. Worth the read.

Murder at Honeybee Lake (Shadow of a Doubt Book 2) by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Dani Dando

Murder at Honeybee Lake (Shadow of a Doubt, #2)Murder at Honeybee Lake by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I swear all the best books have an author as the main character, maybe it’s because authors are so good at writing them having some serious first-hand experience of that stuff. Either way, I loved this read and I loved the main character. Once again Aiken-Hall writes brilliantly, keeping you gripping the edge of your seat all the way through. And can I just say that I adore the paranormal mystery genre, not enough books in it me thinks – or maybe there are, and I am just blind. But I’ve got to say I love it; it marries two of my favourite things and it’s just amazing.
As previously stated, Randy Fletcher (got to love that name) is a writer and is looking to take his relationship with his boyfriend Ben to the next level. What better place to do this than a quiet lake called Honeybee, where he feels at peace? But a massive spanner gets thrown in the works in the form of a body being discovered and things that Randy thought were safely in his past, rear their ugly little heads and threatens to derail the quiet peace and happiness that he has found. Mandy, his sister, drops everything to help her brother, but even her loyalties are put to the ultimate test when the evidence severely implicates him. Get ready for some major twists and turns that will keep you guessing.
Obviously, this has crossover from the previous books in the series with favourite characters making their appearance, but I don’t think you have to have read them to enjoy this, because this makes a super standalone that anyone who loves the paranormal and enjoys a good mystery should sink their teeth into. Also got to adore a good twist and this book does it nicely. Give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she always blows my mind. I’m starting to love historical romance because of this author. She always exceeds my expectations. This is the fifth book of the Scarlet Salon series. You could read this book as a stand alone but if you love historical romance then you will want to read the whole series. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.

She believes she can find love but it is not going to be the fairy tale she wants. Jane and this handsome man get into some trouble together.

Love Unexpected by Marina Hanna – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Julia “Jules” Connors is a young woman trying to make a name for herself in advertising and marketing, but the company she is currently with doesn’t want to make changes no matter how much they like her ideas. She heard about a job opening at Foster Advertising and Marketing so she decides to make the move to that agency. While out at the bar with her girlfriends she meets eyes with a handsome stranger. When he goes to leave he unexpectedly pulls her in for a mind blowing kiss that she can’t stop thinking about. When she walks into her new job the following Monday 10 minutes late she shares an elevator with the mysterious stranger who she comes to find out is her boss.

Adam Foster wasn’t expecting to run into the beautiful blonde, but he is pleasantly surprised when he finds that she is one of the new recruits. Although there is a no fraternization clause in the contracts he is willing to bend the rules for this woman. Normally he doesn’t have relationships that last more than a month, but there is something about Jules that makes him want to keep her forever. Is he willing to open himself up to a serious relationship or will he push her away like all the others?

This books title describes perfectly what this book entails. There is some crude language used in the book so I would not recommend it for anyone under the age of maybe 16. I would say even 18, but I’m sure most 16 -year-olds have either used this same language themselves or heard it being used by friends. There were some moments in here that the main characters kind of got on my nerves as they were either rushing to judgement or not using their words to express how they truly felt. Over all though I did enjoy the book as it was easy to read. The pace and tone of the book were well set and it drew me in.

Date Night by KM Lowe – Review by Karyn Taylor

Date NightDate Night by K.M. Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Date Night is a cute and quirky romance novella by K.M. Lowe. I had never read any of this author’s work before but as this book is set in my home city of Glasgow, I just had to read it. I’m so glad that I read this book as I loved the tour of Glasgow that we get in the book. I loved being able to picture restaurants, bars and landmarks that are mentioned in the book and I felt that this made me enjoy the book much more.
Added to the location, I loved the 2 main characters. Hannah hates Valentine’s Day as it holds bad memories for her. So being asked to design a valentine’s themed opening night for Kyle Randall’s latest project did not fill her with enthusiasm.
I really enjoyed reading Hannah and Kyle’s story. They’ve done business together for a few years but have never actually met and when they do meet, the sparks are flying.
This novella is fun and entertaining and well worth reading. I’d definitely recommend this book.

When we meet Jane I knew I was going to love her right from the beginning. She has such a fun personality and I always looked forward to her and Alex going at it. They both have such witty, sarcastic attitudes it makes for an amazing story! It was a really fun and short read. I could start it and finish it in one day. Once I picked it up there was no putting it down!

Southland Academy is a whimsical and fun middle grade book. The different and creative characters make the book funny and interesting. The supernatural characters include the more main stream (witch and werewolf) along with the not so usual (ferret shifter). The characters become fast friends at the supernatural youth boarding school they are sent to and quickly start solving a mystery together. This book is a pretty fast read and is enjoyable. Boys and girls both have relatable characters to choose from and will find the book entertaining.

I really enjoyed this paranormal crime story. It is book 2 in the Shadow of A Doubt series. It can be read alone but if you read the first book you will already know the main characters.

In this story we follow Randy and Ben. After getting together they start to settle into their new life on Honeybee Lake. Things are good until a dead body turns up underneath the Dock of their home. Who is it and what is it doing under there?

Once the body is identified Randy is the prime suspect and is arrested for murder. While he is in prison he suffers homaphobic abuse but with the help of his sister Mandy and his lawyer father can he get out of prison.
While Randy is inside Ben leaves. Turns his back and runs? Is Ben guilty of committing the murder?
With Mandy trying to solve the murder and clear her brothers name she turns to their friend Tessa for help. Tessa is able to speak and connect to spirits so can she connect with this person to find out the truth?

The Book is full of twists and turns that leep you guessing and all the way through it points to the murderer being either Ben or Randy but you never know who.

I enjoyed this read. I liked Victoria a lot and her way of not really caring what people think about her. I liked how she says what is on her mind even when she probably shouldn’t. Blake is intriguing to me in that in reality he and Victoria are so much alike in personality that it makes them oil and water. I’m always a fan of a match where two that don’t want to be together are thrust together and have to find their way through. This very much delivered on that score. It was a real page-turner and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. The characters had a great banter that was really fun to read. Definitely recommend!

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Bobbi Wagner

I enjoyed this audiobook.  The author and narrator made this fun to listen to.  This is a romance story that I had no problems listening to as it was brought to life.   The narrator’s voice and the changes in tone just added to the story.  Adeline has her dream job all set up in Italy, the city of love. Once she gets there, the city of love isn’t what she expected. She now finds herself playing the role of fiance to her boss, Stone. Now they are faced with keeping their relationship business or crossing a professional line. Will they cross that line and give in to the attraction?  Great story and I highly recommend this audiobook.  It is worth the pick up.

Can they battle the storm that is raging or will they find shelter? What will happen to them when her secrets are revealed?  I highly recommend this audio.

Written in rhyme, the story is fun and the illustrations are beautiful. A wonderful story of facing fears and new experiences, Jake can help children adjust to changes and overcome fears.
