Must Be Crazy (Darling Cove #3)
By Deborah Garland
Rated 5 stars

A wonderful story! I felt like coming home when I started reading this. The writing is so smooth and inviting that I can’t help but enjoy this book. The characters are all so freaking adorable! I loved how the story started. It got me back with the Mallory Family and took off from there.

Edward what can I say? Fire chief (sexy), architect (smart) and a single father (amazing)and he’s all man. I loved how you ogled Skye from afar never thinking she would go out with you. Your romance was sweet and I enjoyed reading it. But you two are in a pickle now. How to choose? Make the ultimate sacrifice?

I LOVED seeing the whole Mallory clan. They are such a joy and make me smile every scene. Andrew and Greg still so bossy and sexy. They are helpful and full of advice. Faith and Gwen ( both pregnant) leaning over the window seat gawking out the window…at Skye’s Date….so funny. I can totally picture that!! These two girls crack me up. So glad I read their books! Julian is a wonderful character add. He adds fun, spark and a joyfulness to the story.

This is my third book by this author. I enjoy reading her stories. They are full of love, character strength, fun, and some strife. Though not necessary to read the first two in the series. Reading them will enhance your enjoyment of this one. I look forward to the next one!

SILK ROAD (Code Raven, #6)SILK ROAD by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Wow what an action packed read this was! I have enjoyed this series so far but I have to say I think this may have been my favourite so far – I don’t think I took my eyes off the page for one minute! I loved the story line – it was engaging, complex, exciting and more. The characters were brilliant and I really likeable. The author really does do an amazing job of bringing her stories to life, her attention to detail is fantastic and I can always imagine what I am reading.
I loved reading about all of the members of Raven again (and great to meet some new ones too). I think I would definitely recommend that these books are read in order so as to fully understand how tight this group are and what they have been through together.
Silk Road is another fantastic read from Lynda Filler and I cannot wait to see what she comes out with next!!

Do Not Open Until HalloweenDo Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Do Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King was an interesting story. The story is about fairies and magic. Though it does not go too in-depth on magic, it is about a fantasy world. I have to say based on the cover and title of this story I was thrown off, anticipating a scarier type of novel. But that was not the case at all. Caitlin once believed in magic as a child, as so many do. Her Aunt promised to write her the stories she told and becomes an author to do so. When the stories become truth to Caitlin she has a choice, to help or to ignore. The story was fast paced and did not take me very long to read. There were a few parts that were confusing but that is because it was the other realm and magic can be sort of tricky. I liked the plot and the flow of the story. The author knows how to tell a great story and keeps your attention throughout. The genera is not something I typically go for, but that did not throw me off from the book. I have read a few other stories by this author and know that though it’s not my typical taste, I will always come back for another bite.

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting
By: Ellen Butler
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 1) by Ellen Butler was a entertaining, fast pace, fun read, that had me hooked!

My first read by this author and I will tell you I will be adding Ellen Butler to my watch list. I loved her writing style, witty and engaging dialogue, and of course I loved how Ellen turned a real life mystery into a fun, light hearted thriller of an adventure, with a ordinary MC, who just happen to be in the wrong place at the right time.

I was captured right away with this tale, it was like magic. The pacing was on point, the detail was rich and it makes you feel like your right there with our MC, trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and how in the world this crazy adventure sucked you in. It had a touch of romance, family revelations, and of course a smart, well rounded, kick ass female MC, that really made this story shine.

As much as I loved the mystery and the danger, Karina, for me, stole the show and brought this story to life. Okay, yes the other characters were great as well, and were just as well constructed, but Karina, she was on a another level. I can’t fully explain it, you’re just going to have to read this wonder to find out for yourself.

What that said, I will leave you with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. Believe me you will not be able to put this book down.

Happy Reading.

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Being from Boston, the art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has always intrigued me. The who, why, where is a mystery that I don’t believe will ever be solved.

ISABELLA’S PAINTING is fiction based in truth. All of the aspects that surround the theft really happened. The rest is fiction and was fun to read.

This is a story filled with a bit of mystery, suspense, murder and very civilized mayhem. I really enjoyed the layers of the story. The complexity of the relationships and the roller coaster ride we were taken on.

I would recommend this story and I look forward to reading the next installment of this new series

Isabella's Painting (Karina Cardinal Mystery #1)Isabella’s Painting by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 1) by Ellen Butler, 5 stars.

Karina has a life she loves. She works in Washington DC, her job keeps her busy, but she loves it. Her boyfriend is wonderful. He understands her love of her job and how it keeps her working log hours at times. But he is there for her. So when he parents, who happen to be very well-known in Washington society, throw their annual holiday party and she is asked to attend, she accepts. She knows this is a big deal to both her boyfriend and his parents. While attending the party at their house, she happens across a hidden painting his dad has. Her curiosity get the better of her and she decided to do some research. This looks just like a painting from an infamous museum heist! Is it real? Why does he have it? Should she tell anyone? Can she live with herself of she doesn’t?

This is the first book I have read by this author and I now have a new author to follow! I absolutely loved it! There is so much going on that you will quickly be wrapped up in the suspense and will not be able to put it down until it is done. Karina is a great main character, she is very real and quite human. She struggles with her problems just like any of us would do. That is what helps make this book so great. But let us not forget the story itself. I believe it is based off a real heist, but either way the story is is fantastic. There are so many twists and turns, you will never guess what will happen next.

If you are a fan of suspense and thrillers, with a strong female lead, this book is for you!

NeverlandNeverland by Melissa Jane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Neverland is a standalone thriller by Melissa Jane. What a thought stealing, heartstopping, violent, twisted mess of a stunning romance psycho thriller. I reread parts of this book over and over, because I seriously thought I could not have read correctly. But I did. And that is what she wrote!! This author said that this story was not cuddly puppies, hearts and flowers. It really was brutal, graphic, shocking, sinister, deadly. I could go on and on. The main characters were a mix of victim, villain, hero and so much more. I did not think I would like this book as wholeheartedly as I did. It was amazing, incredulous reading and I cannot wait for more.

There are many issues that could be triggers for some, but if you deviate to the risky side, then take a chance on Neverland. It is raw, rough and astounding, but it unfolds so masterfully, I hing off every word. The beginning and middle were mindblowing. The ending will shock your world. Such a fitting end to a story I will never forget. 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Silk Road: Code Raven 6 by Lynda Filler​ will keep you glued to the edge of your seat and ​is full of action and intrigue, mayhem and thrills and is a great next book in the series. I am loving this series that revolves around the Raven Group which is a team of special ops forces. There are multiple facets to this story, leading in a way that they all come together in the end. Lynda characters are well developed and it was great to revisit with some favs and meet some who are new. Who doesn’t like a great book that has everything, from suspense, danger and drama, covert ops and secrets, and life and death situations. It is a fast paced story that will have your heart hammering as we chase around the world to save the children. Lynda knows how to weave her magic and provide us with a story that is full of lots of twists and turns leaving you feeling intense emotions. This book is well written and addicting, with a storyline that is captivating. This book is one you will not want to walk away from. I can’t wait for the next book.

Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 1) Ellen Butler is a great start to the series. It is a fun read for the most part, I loved the humor, there is mystery abound and lets not forget the little bit of romance thrown in to boot. Throw in the FBI, the Mob, a mysterious painting and some secrets and you have one suspenseful mystery that will keep you engrossed from start to finish. Karina is one sassy and strong, witty and headstrong individual and oh did I mention nosey; woman who has stumbled upon something that change the course of her life. The story was based upon a true story that Ellen shared and based on that she did a great job with writing this story and adding her own spin to things.If you like a good mystery Isabella’s Painting is the one for you.

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude is the prequel to the Elegant series by Tee Smith. This is the first book I have read by Tee Smith and I’m looking to reading the rest of this series and more. This book took me by surprise, it was fast paced with witty dialog, but also a dark side to it. I loved the mix of emotions this book brought and left me wanting to know more about all the characters introduced in this short story. Denim is a most interesting guy, that I want to learn more about him. This story is just the beginning to what I’m sure is going to be a very interesting story. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

SILK ROAD (Code Raven, #6)SILK ROAD by Lynda Filler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Silk Road was a good 5 star read and book six in the Code Raven series.
There is so much going on in this read, you get pulled in by several different characters.
There is lots of action and on the edge of your seat thrilling moments. The theme of the story is about human trafficking and it just breaks your heart what these kids go through.

The Raven Group were a family with a higher life purpose. Luke would do anything for his family of warriors and misfits.

Luke, Luci and the rest of the Raven group become involved in helping find some missing children. Will they be able to find them before anything bad happens? Luke is also dealing with his feelings for Luci, will he be able to finally open his heart up and find love again?

All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If your looking for a great nail biting series with lots of detail this is the one for you. Lynda Filler does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more from her.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Isabella’s Painting: A Notorious Art Heist Mystery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 1) by Ellen Butler is a book that I loved reading. It hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a story that includes suspense and mystery. It had me turning pages in order to find out what was going to happen next in both the plot and to the characters. I loved reading about the character of Karina Cardinal. She is a lawyer who is independent and intelligent. Some would also call her a lobbyist on Capitol Hill, however, she would cringe at such a label. She runs into a mystery when at her boyfriend’s parent’s home for a holiday party. What happens next has Karina’s investigative skills and a bit of paranoia working overtime. Is the painting that she has seen one that was stolen so many years ago? Why does her boyfriend’s father have the stolen masterpiece? Now that she has started an investigation into the painting how much danger is she in? Read this book to find out. There are times when this story had me on the edge of my seat. Trying to put together the clues that Karina uncovers is like trying to put together a puzzle to find the truth. The other character that I enjoyed reading about in this story is Mike Finnegan. He is an old friend of Karina’s and works for the FBI. This is a wonderfully written story with some amazing characters. Highly recommended.

The book has times when I was turning pages to find out what happens next in the storyline and to the characters. I loved reading about Chase and Tina. Chase is a man that is part of what is called the lower class and with that comes a lot of difficulties in his life. The biggest one is when the Sterilization Law goes into effect. He is concerned for himself, however, more so for his girlfriend Mariana. Chase is a character that I felt empathy for with the situations that he found himself in. The raw emotions that I felt when reading about him had me either angry or with tears in my eyes. He is someone what you would like to put your arms around and comfort. Tina starts out with one point of view on life and as the story progresses she begins to change and see things differently. The world that Chase and Tina live in is one where there is always prejudice and class stereotypes. I found myself angry at the cruel treatment that some received while others had life easy. Tina and Chase interact with other characters in the story and I enjoyed reading about them. The story does discuss and contain issues that may be triggers for some and the story would be recommended for a mature audience.

Oh my goodness I just love this series, I couldn’t wait to dig into this after finishing book 1 and now Im feeling the same about book 3.

This continues Katarina and Chases story and I am just so in love with these two people, the way they communicate and how their story just keeps building, it is awesome. I love the email interaction between them and their texting while in the same room…

Alot going on in this story and Katarina is trying with all she has to come to grips with everything in Chases life and then along comes her father and I was shocked by all that is him.

Chase is all alpha and everything that comes with that, Katarina is strong and sassy and I love the way this author has built this whole series so far. Her writing is flawless and just flows so that before you know it you are at the end and not ready for it to be over but then you remember..You have book 3 waiting for you, I can’t wait!.

This is my 2nd book by this author and she has a new forever fan…Don’t try to pick this book up without ready the first one, you really need the whole story and believe me when I say you will not be sorry.

The title of this book is completely spot on…

Tomb for an Eagle by Lexie Conyngham a four-star read. This is the first book in the Orkneyinga Murders series. I didn’t read the blurb of this book so I wasn’t sure what to expect so for the first couple chapters I was a little lost, but then I soon realised what was going on and got hooked on the story. The setting was so well written that you could imagine you were in Scotland with the characters. One thing that I will note that drove me mad but I know others will love were some of the names, I know they were traditional names but I was sure I was pronouncing them wrong in my head, that being said it only bothered me a little and I know it’s one of my personal foibles. The twists and turns will keep you guessing and adds to the drama of the story.

I might still be in shock after reading this story. The Plot is a thrilling sad story that had my mouth dropping with every moment. Yoko has had a very hard life. It is unimaginable the amount of suffering she has been through. You know these things happen to people every day. But when you read about it just breaks your heart. This story may be fiction but it is someone’s truth. I really enjoyed how the author laid this story out. It wasn’t just some story about a girl getting revenge it was a story of a girl doing better for herself while plotting her revenge. Yoko knew she was meant for something more and she didn’t let her past get in her way. She held a lot of hurt in. I am glad I have this story a try. It definitely gave me a view from the other side. The author really kept me flipping from page to page.

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude by Tee Smith is the prequel to the Elegant series. I have had this book in my Kindle for a while now and just got the opportunity to read it and I’m so glad I did. I was a little turned off at first by Denim, but it didn’t take long to find the good in him and start to like him a lot.

Though he is in the family business, I really feel he is better than that, think he has just started to show it. I’m hoping to see him pull away from the family business and find his happiness.

Hope there is more of Wombat in the next book too, there was just something about him that stuck out to me.

This is one of those books that the blurb doesn’t do it justice. I was a little hesitant to read it because I thought it was going to be heavy on human trafficking. While it is a major part of the story, it’s in the past and is the thread that ties the story together.

This is a story of revenge and redemption and self-forgiveness. A complex story that is told in a fantastic way. It was easy to read and flowed well and quickly. The characters were well developed and I was rooting for Yoko from the very beginning. I was able to read every word in this book from beginning to end in one afternoon.

This is the first story I’ve read by this author and I will absolutely read more.

Silk Road in the sixth book in the Code Raven series written by Lynda Filler. I read the prequel on book one and two but missed books three-five so I will be going back to read those books because this is an amazing series. Ms. Filler is an amazing author and this series is dead on in the evil that’s going on in this world. The characters are well written and there banter is amazing. They are not related by blood and come from all across the world even have some difference in beliefs but there is one thing you can count on in this story/series they are a family and want to help save the world.

Credence WoodsCredence Woods by Alexandria Sure
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first time reading anything by Alexandria Sure. I wasn’t’ sure what I was going to get but as soon as I saw this gorgeous cover I had to know what the story was. I am so glad that I picked this up. I now not only have a new author to add to my TBR list, but really enjoyed this read.

Credence Woods is a standalone novel that gives us an up close and personal glimpse at the life of Kennedy Hewson. Kennedy is going through a major life change. She just underwent weight loss surgery. What is she supposed to do now? She sticks to the routine and nothing more. That routine that gives her some source of security is about to be thrown off kilter. What will she do? Will she make the right decisions or will she end up walking away from the happiness she could have had?

I will say one thing though, Kennedy did get a bit on my nerves for a bit. I wanted to find a lot to connect with in her given I am a curvy woman and know what it is like to have self-doubt and other issues with image and weight. I don’t know she was just whiney about it more than she was inspirational about it to me personally. Otherwise the story was great and well written and I can’t wait to see what else is available from Alexandria Sure, and what else is to come in the future.

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan

5 out of 5 stars
Our unexpected hope written by Michelle Sullivan is an awesome read and a continuous to our next chapter where we met Quinn, Karalyn and Dex were amazing and still strong willed. I had so many different emotions reading this book I laughed cried and I was also pissed at what the main characters had to go through, but they were strong and made it.
Seeing the love that Quinn’s parents have for one another she is a hopeless romantic. She hope’s that she could someday find a love like that for herself. What she found with Noah was even better than she ever dreamed possible.
Noah has never known love growing up with the feeling of being unwanted. Shuffled from home to home in his youth, adulthood gave him the freedom to make something of himself. He had all he could ever want until Quinn walked into his life and changed everything.
I highly recommend this book so join Quinn and Noah on their journey of love, loss and the most unexpected gift they never saw coming.
