Dreamscape (J.J. Morris)Dreamscape by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series and while I didn’t read the first book I had no trouble catching up with what was going on. Joey used to be a star student until she was introduced to the things that go bump in the night. Now she sees potential ghosts and demons in the faces of everyone she meets. Not the best way to spend your first year in college. She also misses normal dreams, you know the kind you can forget. Now she remembers every detail, every emotion, and when the newest one is an explosion at the school she has to figure out what is going on. Can she figure out what caused the explosion before it actually happens? Will it actually happen or was it just a dream?

Porter and Midge: Paws for Safety: A Kid's Guide to Safe Dog Interactions (Porter and Midge Children’s Book Series)Porter and Midge: Paws for Safety: A Kid’s Guide to Safe Dog Interactions by Giselle Nevada
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the cutest book on dog safety! Done as a rhyming story this book book goes over multiple interactions a child could face with both a known and unknown dog. Situations like using gentle touch, to respecting a dog’s boundaries by paying attention to their body laungage, to seeing and interacting with dogs out in public this book covers a ton! I absolutely loved the illustrations and the use of poetry form to help kids learn! This was very well written, organized and thought out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Princess Isabel loves her country above all else and is willing to do whatever it needs to protect it. Henrique, her bodyguard, is scientific and practical and flirty and our princess doesn’t know how to deal with the feels she gets from him. This book is full of imagery of both Portugal and Spain , amazing dialogue, and a great story line. It is book 3 in the series but the first two are not needed ahead of time. The book was a wonderful historical romance and worth the read!

This is the third book in the series but you definitely don’t miss anything by starting with it. Wynter and Caleb have both been bitten before in love and have taken the once bitten twice shy idea to new heights.

Plus you really just want Caleb to get that dog!! This can be read as a stand-alone or in a series. I will be going back to the first book in the series to start from the beginning!!

The Earl, Her Reluctant GuardianThe Earl, Her Reluctant Guardian by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imagine yourself in the past where you had to depend on a guardian to make all of your life choices for you. Now imagine that all he wants to do is get rid of you. Add in a crazy aunt and a ghost and you have this story! All Vanessa wants to do is live at her home and be at peace but her guardian, the Earl of Danville, wants her married off and to find the spy he’s been set to locate. Unfortunately he doesn’t expect to actually like the woman he’s in charge of, let alone be attracted to her. And now there’s a ghost?!? What’s an Earl supposed to do? This was a very well written book and while it sounds like there are a lot of different things happening in one story, the author makes all of it fit together. Wonderful book.

Will absolutely be back tracking asap to the first 3 books!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Hybrid Lovers series but you do not have to read the first to be able to read the second. That being said you’ll probably go read the first one after you finish the second! Between the relatable FMC and the intense MMC the pages keep turning. This fated mates book is fantastic! On to the next!!

Melinda is a sharp, quick witted woman who meets a savvy buisness man who has everything he wants. Despite their mutual attraction there’s a hitch…he’s her new boss.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 7 in the Assassins next Generation and my first book! That being said, while there is of course connections to previous books, I did not feel like I was missing anything coming in at book 7. The struggles Dimitri and Austen face independently while at the same time supporting each other was great! Their relationship developing throughout was wonderfully built and the comedy relief is hilarious. I will definitely be backtracking to read the other books in this series before the next comes out!

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance by Bella Faust
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in this series but there is a prequel that helps set up a lot of the issues the FMC faces throughout this first book. Lilliana has been dealing with major issues caused by Alex (and let’s face it her father) that Zeke and Slash have to watch her deal with and help where she’ll let. This love triangle between her, Zeke and Slash will get you to change back and forth between her men. Then there’s the plot twists that throw you for a loop! This does end on a cliffhanger but book 2 is already out so dive in!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Ladies of the Links series however it can be read as a stand-alone. This is a second chance romance between Christy and Ryan. It’s very cute and quick. Christy has struggled for 6 years to be a good mom to her twin girls with the help of her very talented (and psychic bff) before running into Ryan again. They quickly realize the feelings are still there but don’t want to rush into anything since the girls are there to consider. Cute humor, sweet moments and adorable 5 year old twins make this a super adorable read!

This is the first book in a fantastic mafia romance. There’s suspense, heartache, passion, drama, ugh it’s soo good! Now the MMC does have other partners while the couple is apart (which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea) but if that doesn’t trigger you dive in! He grew up without his family, she grew up wanting to change her destiny within her family. Together they may be able to get what they both want, as long as they get out of their own ways!! Great book! Can’t wait for the second!!

Shalom Israel: A place like no otherShalom Israel: A place like no other by Melissa Lavi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great book to introduce the country of Israel to young readers. The mixture of real life photos mixed with illustrated children helped to keep this from being just like any other children’s book about a different country. The beginning of this book begins with an explanation of the meaning of the word shalom which absolutely would help a little one remember as it is repeated throughout the story. Readers will get a quick yet amazingly beautiful glimpse of the country and learn a little about the culture as well!

House of ArsceneauxHouse of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fast paced paranormal romance. The author clearly did her historical research on Creole, Celtic, and American history. If you struggle with foreign languages you may find a little difficulty with the creole sprinkled in the book but other than that it’s wonderful. How does the love of your life, who’s been dead for more than a minute, show up after all this time as a lawyer? Star crossed lovers will always find one another! This story has romance, fate, and humor. The sisters of the H are hilarious, the feisty h keeps her H on his toes. Great series.

What a cute book! So Meg doesn’t understand why monsters are scary, because she’s never seen one. You see Meg is blind! Her big sister tries explaining what it is that makes monsters scary only to have Meg compare each thing to something normal. At the heart of this story it helps kids see that monsters aren’t scary but they are good for something other than scaring, spending time with each other! Again super cute book and will definitely use it in a classroom!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kaela is under attack and in for the fight of her life at work one evening. She didn’t think she’d make it until a stranger saves her but is gravely wounded in the process. She saves him with her power that she has kept hidden only to find that not only is he the DA prosecuting the case but a werewolf to boot. As of that isn’t complicated enough, Kaela’s use of her powers calls an undying to her side as he hasn’t felt that power in a while. All she wants is to survive what’s happening to her while the motives of the wolf and the undying remains to be seen. This is a great spin to the fantasy genre!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in this series but you don’t need to read book 1 to follow, although why you wouldn’t read book 1 is beyond me but you’ll figure that out after you read this one! Sera is a desk jockey who’s uncle has gone missing and she is going to find him. To do that she needs Markus. Markus didn’t think he wanted anything to do with leaving his home on the pleasure planet until our spitfire heroine walks in and up he goes. They back and forth between these two is awesome. The world being built by the author is tremendous and book 3 looks to be just as engaging as the first two!

This is the second book and the conclusion of this story line (although there are more books in the series). You have to read the first book to be able to read this book (and the prequel would be good too but not necessary). Riley, the fmc, and Cole, the MMC, pick up where they left off in the first book with secrets and sparks. Dark truths are revealed and Riley and Cole have to decide if they will fight for each other or if the past is too much. The conclusion to this couple’s story will keep you reading!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in the Hidden Valley Elite and I have been WAITING for it! I read the prequel first and could not wait to get my hands on this one! You don’t have to read the prequel but it gives a good amount of nuance that this doesn’t go into. In this book Riley and her mom have moved, again but mom is determined to stay in this location. Her mom starts dating a new guy and it’s Cole’s dad. Cole and his brother a livid that their dad is dating already after the loss of their mom and while he is attracted to Riley (who he doesn’t remember meeting), he is not about to let her mom and his dad be together. All Riley wants is to live her life as normally as she can but that won’t happen if Cole has anything to do with it!
