The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Magic of ChristmasThe Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderfully heartwarming festive romance by Christi Barth which I could not put down. Full of the magic of Christmas this story definitely put me in the festive spirit. Workaholic Rowan West is not in the Christmas mood as she has to come up with a campaign to make people visit a struggling Christmas themed adventure park and resort in order to gain a promotion to advertising manager. Unfortunately Jeremy Kincannon is also up for the promotion and is determined to prove to everyone that he deserves the job and not just because his stepfather owns the company. They begin their visit to the park and resort as adversaries, Rowan dislikes Jeremy and Jeremy thinks Rowan is annoyingly perfect. However, as they spend more time together away from the office politics and all the rumours they discover who the other one really is. With a bit of the magic of Christmas the adventure park neither of them cared about actually helps them find what they both need in life and that appears to be each other. ‘The Magic of Christmas’ has a lovely romantic storyline with a festive twist and likeable, relatable characters which made this a page turner of a story. The narrative flowed well and I loved how the relationship changed and developed between Rowan and Jeremy and their connection really came across in the story. I found reading this was a lovely start to the festive season.

Thunder on the Moor by Andrea Matthews – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Thunder On The MoorThunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thunder on the Moor is an enjoyable and engaging historical romance novel by Andrea Matthews with a time travel twist. Heroine of the story, Maggie Armstrong finds herself transported back to sixteenth century Scotland along with her Border reiver father. Having grown up enchanted by her fathers stories of blood feuds and border raids Maggie is both excited and disoriented to find herself actually in the sixteenth century. However when her Uncle announces that she is to be betrothed to the son of a neighbouring laid she does not care how charming or how handsome Ian Rutherford is, she is at heart a modern women and will not be told who she will marry. Unfortunately Maggie’s refusal could start a blood feud and she realises how dangerous the time period she’s found herself in is. Having encountered betrayal, treachery, and a tragic murder Maggie wonders if she should stay or try and return to her own time despite having found the family she had always wanted. Confusing matters further for Maggie is the arrival of Bonnie Will Foster who is the dashing young man that she has always be enamoured by in one of her father’s portraits. Unfortunately, Will turns out to be a dreaded Englishman who is out for revenge against Ian, but is he also the hero she always imagined him to be.
I was totally immersed in this story and felt as though I had been transported back to the 16th century along with Maggie thanks to the authors wonderful descriptions of both the time period and the Scottish setting.The use of Scottish dialogue between the characters also made the setting come alive, however this did slow down the narrative for me to start with but I soon found I became used to it. I found the family trees at the beginning very helpful and did refer back to them whilst reading. The storyline flowed well making this an easy read and the plot was full of action, drama, and of course romance. I was hooked from page one and fell in love with the well defined and relatable characters especially the likeable Maggie. Obviously well researched, this is a good mix of time travel, history and romance. I look forward to future books by the author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, well, well… what a pleasant new take on an old classic. Rachel Huffmire, I applaud you on a job well done. I’m very picky when it comes to classic fairytale retellings. My opinion usually is why change a perfect story. Like I said USUALLY. Rachel Huffmire did a masterful job with this book, by bringing a futuristic twist with the time travel aspect she incorporated.
The characters also brought an extra layer of awesome to the book.
Thank you for making me eat my words.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve come to enjoy Mellett’s works that stem from her imagination. This is a plot-driven narrative with a blend of romanticism and love with a mix of lust. The characters seemed easy to see through your mind’s eye. Their interest gets deeper as Grumbler helps Mary with a child who is not even his own but he’s the perfect hero for the job. This is yet another favorite going into my vault from this author.

The Magic of ChristmasThe Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It has been quite the year, 2020 proves to us that we need some holiday magic early, so when I saw Christi Barth was putting out a cute rom com holiday read just in time for the craziest months of 2020 it was a no brainer for me to one-click the much needed escape. This little gem took me on quite the adventure as I followed Rowan and Jeremy in their competition to develop the winning marketing plan for a holiday themed park. These two may start as enemies but of course the magic of the season will try to intervene and bring these two hearts together in a warming way. I loved the push and pull between the characters. It had me laughing and cheering for the two to find the way to love each other. It was a believable romance, sometimes that is not the case for holiday reads but not with this one. I really enjoyed the kickoff to my holiday season and just might have the motivation to pull out my tree and decor a tad early this year!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith, Ph.D. is an interesting and thought-provoking read. This book is not normally something I would pick up but I thought it sounded and looked interesting. Dr. Ledwith has put a lot of thought into this conception of the formation and history of the universe. I appreciate the work he put into this work. He brought up a lot of different ideas concerning the formation and length of spirit which I thought was interesting. At times I felt that I could not get behind the work but again I can enjoy the overall book and questions it brought up.

Book 1 Is the start of the magical adventure the author doesn’t disappoint in writing fast paced stories with fun and interesting characters and plots that suck you in from the first page.

Book 2 From the very first chapter of this book I was intruged. Sera and Ian what does all this mean for them. What do you get when you combined a blind witch, a werewolf and a forbidden spell you get this action packed book. Ian by far is my favourite character his story drew me in. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Book 3 This is the third book of this series by India Kells and yet again it delivers a great story.
Finn you feel for him and get right into is mind. You get right into the world and don’t want to come out of this book it such an amazing read I did not want it to finish.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth – Review by Lianne Probert

The Magic of ChristmasThe Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a festive feel good romance, perfect to get you into the Christmas spirit.
Rowan is focussed on her career, when a promotion comes up she’s willing to work hard and fight tooth and nail to prove she’s the right person for the job. But as is usually the way, these things never run smoothly.
This is a classic Christmas Hallmark style romance, just what we all need in the run up to Christmas. The author moves the story along at a fairly quick pace, but it’s very easy to keep up with. I loved the characters and both of the main characters really developed throughout the story so I found myself becoming more invested in their lives and wanting them to find their happy ending!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a touching holiday romance with all the ingredients needed to make a for a heart-warming Christmas story. It was fun to curl up with this for a couple of hours and lose myself in the story.
Rowan and Jeremy are both being considered for the same promotion at the advertising company they work for. They are teamed up to come up with a campaign that will resurrect a struggling Christmas themed amusement park. There is a lot to prove, and a lot riding on the outcome. These two set off on their trip as staunch rivals, but things begin to change as they spend more time together. What happens next makes for a fun and romantic read.
I love Christmas themed stories, so it was a done deal as soon as I laid eyes on this book. I could envisage this being made into a wonderful Christmas movie.
My favourite of Christi Barth’s books that I have read so far!

Thank you, Christi Barth!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very unique and different book. I have read books by this author  before where he gets the  story of a few people from the past but this book is his personal story.

Its his story about how he connected with his soul. His soul has been reborn inside him and has shaped his life  everyday.

Its an amazing book to read and really takes you on the journey through the authors struggles to understand the way he is feeling and why. This story will make you question and think about everything from your views on love, religion and faith.
The main thing that I get from this story is a great sense of love. Treat everyone with love and respect that makes the world a better place.

This is my first book by Julie C. Gardner. I loved her writing style and all of the plots and twists she has. Our main female is Addy who is lost after the unexpected death of her mother. She has an 11 year old daughter Josie. I loved all the characters in this book- even Ivy (though i called her some nasty names haha). Definitely a good read and I recommend it. I’m going to read the others in this Friendship & Secrets group. You don’t have to read these in order to appreciate them.

Bonds That Beckon (Daughters of Anubis Book 1) by Kelli Kimble – Review by Lisa Helmick

Bonds that Beckon (Daughters of Anubis, #1)Bonds that Beckon by Kelli Kimble
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is different in a lot of ways. It is has with ancient creatures, small minded townsfolk, it’s set in the sixties and has a guy who talks craziness. This has a bit of real-ness mixed with the unbelievable.

I am shocked the main character bought into everything so easily. She is a hard worker and seems smart. New kid in a new unforgiving town. I could see the attachment to Mr Anu. I loved the connection between the parents and daughter. Very believable. The soul mate connection was very hard to swallow. I felt no connection..no frozen moments. Just one day…poof…mated.

Overall I liked the whole small town problem here. That was great and made me wonder what would happen next. The rest fell short for me. Sorry.

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Grumbler’s Ride (Satan’s Devils MC San Diego #2) by Manda Mellett. It is a story that grabs your attention from the very beginning, and I was hooked. I love the characters of Grumbler and Mary. They both know that there is an attraction and chemistry between them. Will they take a chance with each other? What will happen when a situation blows up? Will she be able to lean on Grumbler? This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I grew to care about Mary, her daughter, and Grumbler with each chapter that I read. I could also see that Mary and Grumbler would be wonderful together and rooted for them to find happiness. I enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters as they have been brought forward from the first book. There are heartwarming moments as well as moments when I was wondering what was going to happen next. There is romance as well as suspense. The author does an amazing job of making both the story and the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on the awesome second story in the San Diego chapter of Satan’s Devils. I highly recommend reading it.

Big City Heat an anthology that certainly does bring the heat. This is a great collection and I knew I had to check it out when I realised it had a couple of my favourite authors in it, and some that I had been eager to read as well. There hasn’t bee a story I haven’t enjoyed in this one, I love a good anthology where each author takes their own spin on the premise, its nice to see how each one has a different take. I really enjoyed the fact that there were a couple of M/M stories in this anthology, that surprised me in the best way possible, there was something special about this whole set, it wasn’t what I have come to expect from usual sets. Phoebe Alexander always brings us great characters and this one was no exception; it was really fun. But that wasn’t the only great story, the other standout for me was the Right Note, as it certainly brought the right note to me.

This was adorably cute! I really liked reading this book and quite honestly it’s the perfect way to start those Christmas reads which I know I will be binge-reading over the next few months! I really liked the story and I really enjoyed the characters. The book was quick-paced but not too fast and it didn’t feel rushed at all which is great.

The way Rowan and Jeremy begin to connect is so cute and adorable and I fell in love with their characters and it was cute. I liked them both resisting until giving in to each other it’s one of my favourite things in these kind of books. They try to resist and always fail!

Really enjoyed it!

The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I RememberThe History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is about the creation of the universe, the development of the human race and it’s future. It is written from the point of view of the souls who created it by working through Stuart to bring this history and knowledge to the world. There is a lot of terminology throughout the book which was at times needed re-reading to fully grasp each concept, however, as the chapters went on, became more clear and easier to understand.

The book starts with Stuart’s journey to integrate with his soul Edouard, the methods he used, the questions he had, the answers he received and the souls he spoke to along the way. This detailed account also explains the past lifetimes Edouard experienced in a human body and what lessons he learned from each one to bring him to this point in his mission.

It then goes on to explain the creation of our universe and the process which the souls went through, the costs of this creation on them and how it has evolved over time to where it is now. This includes the formation and taming of the earth and its elements, the evolution of the beings on the planet throughout its various stages, how each of the stages was reached and also how the souls influenced these changes. It does this in the format of a diary of conversations, feelings and thought processes emerging from these discussions, quotes from other pieces written by others in the past and looking at the similarities and differences between them and what was said by the souls.

This book explains the overarching lesson of equality and unconditional love which the souls introduced within are attempting to teach the world, the ways in which it can be experienced and learnt, as well as what it should feel like when it is achieved. It was a very interesting book and although I did struggle with the content a little bit, it provoked a lot of thought and self reflection around the themes and ideas written throughout.

Age of Druids is the ninth book in The Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas and although this series can be read as standalones I highly recommend reading the whole series. I will say when I started this series I wasn’t sure about it only because it’s not my normal Genre, but holy cow I’m glad I took a chance. This is one of those Series I definitely will be reading again and again. The author has a unique way of telling a story and making you feel as if you are a part of it. Her attention to detail simply blows me away. There’s a bit of everything in this book from action to danger and alittle magic. Clíodhna finds herself in a disagreement with the new church and finds herself meeting a stranger who helps her with her talents. Along the way good and bad choices are made. What does her future look like? Find out what happens next in this must read. I found myself lost in the pages and had a hard time putting it down.

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell book 1) by Naomi Valkyrie

5 +++++ Stars

This author continues to blow me away with her words and the imagination she puts into her storylines. She has taken a genre I normally avoid and has me glued to my kindle wanting to know what happens next. Every book I finish of hers has me anticipating the next. Her character building is phenomenal and has me connecting and completely understanding those I’m reading about.

This book was no exception, something else this author does better than many is take a story and cut out all the dragging, all the descriptions I dont need of surroundings and such and puts a pace on it that I personally love and appreciate. It’s a fast paced story, but one that is never hard to follow. I love that she is not scared to do this.

I loved Delilah! Her no nonsense inner dialogue, her strength, and her quest to just get away and relax, also that small soft side she doesn’t even realize she has. Her life in the city leaves no room for down time and I could feel how much she needed that. The dedication of this book describes Delilah perfectly! Then add in her supporting cast, Malakhi was a little harder to read, but as the book went on I found myself understanding him better. Caspian and Sheridan absolutely cracked me up, their comebacks and then the pranks were awesome.

This story had it all. There was drama, danger, twists and turns, Demons, Hunters, witches, fallen angels and even a nix and a shifter to keep me completely engrossed in this story. I Loved the ending, it left me wanting the next as soon as possible, and also left me wanting to know more about Malakhi and his history.

I can’t recommend this book enough, I can’t recommend this author enough. I am one of her biggest fans and will read whatever she chooses to write!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

See the origins of the brooch in this final installment of this brilliant series.

This is the final installment to this brilliant series and what a conclusion to the story. This book follows Clíodhna and is set in the 5th century Ireland, the story weaves in and out of the history behind the brooch and puts a lot of the story in perspective.

Cliodhna’s husband has been missing for months and they are becoming more distressed as time goes on, but when she receives help from the local Abbey she can then concentrate on locating her husband.

As the story continues through you get the impression that Cliodhna is regretting her decision as the abbey is more controlling than she first thought, but with her Fae friends help can she progress through on her quest.

I have loved this series through the nine books, within this story you see the character of Cliodhna as a strong, independent women who is struggling to keep her family together and also looking as finding herself within the Fae world. This is not my normal genre but after reading the first book I was drawn into this epic saga from the first word to the last word.

I think this is a brilliant series to get you involved within the world of Fantasy, the stories are full of action, well written and the characters in each book are engaging and well developed.

Genre – Romance
Page Count – 342 pages
Sometimes a challenge comes along that can either make or break you…
Deacon has a great life. A loyal brotherhood within the Blood Fury MC. A successful bail bonds business he runs with his cousin, Judge. A faithful dog. He’s also an expert at seducing the ladies. He’s got the looks. He’s got the charm. And he’s got the skill.
Or at least he thought he did. Until he met his match. A woman who not only resists him, but challenges him at every turn.
As an expert bounty hunter, he’s been hired to capture a violent fugitive. Dealing with a dangerous man is one thing, but dealing with a stubborn woman is quite another. And the victim just happens to be her younger sister.

The Opposite of Addie: A Novel by Julie C. Gardner is a contemporary romance story. This compelling story is a bit of a roller-coaster in emotions. Julie has written a beautiful tale where the characters shine although there were moments, I wanted to shake Addie at times, and Jake I didn’t know if I wanted to tell him off or kiss him. But with secrets and lies and a past that may finally reveal the truth. The story is both heart-warming and heartbreaking. There are a lot of moving parts and people telling their part of the story, but Julie pulled it together nicely.

Rowan is a work machine and doesn’t allow herself to let loose at the office. When she and Jeremy are paired together as competition and to visit a new place to get marketing ideas, things couldn’t seem worse for either of them. But with the magic of the season we get this beautiful and heartfelt story.

I’ve been following along with this series for quite some time now and each book is always my new favorite. Christy Nicholas is such a talented writer with a gift of incredible detail. The Druid’s Brooch Series is one that I stumbled upon and while it was out of the normal genre I would gravitate to, I found myself lost in the pages. Secretly, I have always had curiosity about the Fae world, so I think this is what called to me. If you’re looking for a book with great detail and feeling as though you’re within the pages yourself, I would recommend Age of Druids. Though, if we are being honest, I would recommend starting this stand alone series from the very beginning. (What series isn’t better when you know every little detail?)
