Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase, #3)Embracing Jared by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Embracing Jared is the third book in the Thrill of The Chase series by Anna Paige. It is a superb Rockstar romance, drama, chemistry, sparks, tension, brotherhood, family, and plenty of emotion.
As with the other two books in the series, it could be read as a standalone, but in doing that, I feel you would be doing yourself a disservice, as there is a lot of information and important details in the other books that would highly enhance your reading experience of this third instalment, as well as the series as a whole.
Again, the author has upped the ante and delivered a captivating story that enhances this fantastic series. It is Rockstar romance done right- with all the author’s clever touches and original take on the topic. I couldn’t have loved the characters, storyline and details any more than I did.
So, if you love Rockstar romance, contemporary romance, a captivating story, and endearing slightly flawed characters- then you really should do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy of this book (and series) and fall in love with these wonderful characters, stories, and talented author.
This book has only reinforced the fact that I am addicted to the ‘Thrill of the Chase’ and am an Anna Paige junkie- I soooo can’t wait for my next fix!

Thank you, Anna Paige!

Strega – Magic: The Spirit Never Dies by Lynne Russell-Review by Lauren West

Strega - Magic: The Spirit Never DiesStrega – Magic: The Spirit Never Dies by Lynne Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book we are introduced to Annie. A strega or “witch” in Italian. She is aiming to become a doctor and with her loving fiancée by her side…only she isn’t sure that this doctor thing is her passion, and her fiancée turns out to not be that great as well.
Annie soon embarks on a journey to find her calling and her true self. It becomes a eye opening journey that is taken with Annie and the gifts she finds and the strength she gains speak to who she is as well as the connection to women generations before her.

This book was such a great read! Witches and powerful women all entwined in one. The way the story provided past and present combined with a vast family history made it all the more fascinating. This is a first read for me by this author but the way she tells stories I can guarantee its not the last.

Red's Peril Part 2: The Prez's Old Lady (Satan's Devils MC Vegas #2)Red’s Peril Part 2: The Prez’s Old Lady by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thought I loved book 1, but book 2 absolutely blew me a way! Red has made me want him to be my newest book boyfriend by far! This author makes her MC men flawless and irresistible, and each book only gets better. You can’t read just one book, and once you start you do not stop until its finished. Such a fan of hers!
In book 2 we get the story of Red and Cher. They have a past together, but most importantly they share something important that can’t be ignored. This is a tale of second chance love, and acceptance of the unknown. Red was a great guy, and he deserved a happy ending. Together Red and Cher’s story is emotional, steamy, and unforgettable.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love books like this! A holiday love story where one is a baker and the other stumbles Into their shop and it’s almost love at first sight. Thea is a baker in Washington and Ben is a sports writer who almost instantly falls for each other. This book was spicier than I thought it would be and oh mama was it a good burn if you know what I mean. Wasn’t overdone and thought it was very tasteful. If you want a quick read to get you into the holiday mood I really recommend it.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ian Troy, is a Shinree, a race that has an addiction to magic. To put an end to the long brutal war, Ian defies orders by his Queen and uses an ancient relic called the Crown of Stones which comes at a heavy price.

Years pass and Ian is still filled with regret while suppressing his urges with wine, he tries to leave the past behind. An encounter with an assassin brings him back to the fold when the realm becomes in danger again.

There is a race to control the Crown of Stone, and Ian becomes involved once more. It becomes more clear what Ian has to do: use the power he fears the most.

I went into this thinking it was going to be a slow start but it wasn’t slow at all. I really liked Ian’s character and was surprised when he went against orders and did something that had last effects, even a decade later and how he was still struggling not only with himself as a person but with the war and the consequences of his choice.

I am looking forward to reading the next novel in the series.

Drummer’s Beat by Manda Mellett
Narrated by Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister
Five Stars

This book is an awesome listen. This is the second book in the Satan’s Devils series. This is Drummer and Sam’s story. Drummer is the MC President and Sam is the headstrong lady on a mission to meet her father. This is what brought them together…
Sam is so strong and a great match for Drum. The MC storyline is dark and dangerous.
The narration was flawless. Sierra and Logan’s voices blended together and brought the characters to life. Just a great overall listen.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first started out reading this book I was a little apprehensive. The first book was good but I didn’t much care for it. But holy cow!!! This author really knocked it out of the park with book two, I am throughly impressed. I feel like even though it’s about two different people in this book, it wrapped some things from the first book! You can see the passion she put into her pages so much that they stand out, they don’t fall flat and the world becomes much more fleshed out than the first book. I highly, highly suggest you read the first one before reading this one. It picks up where the first book left off. I’m really proud of how far this author has come!!!

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am an avid reader. I picked this book because I wanted to learn about everyday ‘magic’ and how I could learn to bring more positivity into my life. I will say that the author definitely knows how to weave her own personal stories into life lessons for others. If you are looking for inspiration, a self-care guide, or are interested in learning more about the everyday wonders around you, this is one of the top ten books out there for that purpose. My three-star review is actually more of a 3.5 – while I enjoyed the bits and pieces of the book that spoke to me personally, I found it a bit lacking in the areas that I was hoping would explode off the page. There was history sprinkled in and some difficult subjects (for some), but that wasn’t what I was looking for or expecting when I decided to read. Just because it wasn’t necessarily for me doesn’t mean that it won’t be the perfect fit for someone else. Try for yourself and see – even if it’s not exactly what you were looking for, chances are there are some positive things you will take from it.

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus?Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a coming of age story based around the concept of Santa. The author introduces a new way of approaching the subject on if there is a Santa Clause. The story is a cute experience between a mother and her son over the topic. She recruits him over into being a Dream Keeper. Which he takes to heart with his little brother. Keeping the magic alive for his younger sibling. I adore the new take on the holiday season. It is a book that I will be reading to my children when they begin to ask the same question.

I just love it when you need a good cry and a book helps you achieve it. This book did just that. I feel emotionally cleansed after this spectacular book.
After book one left us on a cliffhanger, the author game back with even better writing.
This is definitely an author I’m adding to my favorites. Dare I say this gave me Nicholas Spark feels

I enjoyed how the story drew me in from the beginning. It was a wonderful tale about good versus evil. But are things really so black and white? As we delve into the story and into Ian Troy’s life l, we discover there is much more gray than we could imagine and that things aren’t always cut and dry. I recommend this book that will make you think. I also recommend 18 plus due to sexual stuff and violence.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book drew me right in from the very first page and transported me back in time. This story is full of battlefields, action, a final deathbed request, romance and so many obstacles. Watching feelings develop between Jacek and Oliwia was magical. Watching it finally all click in Jacek’s head as he realized that it was always Oliwia was comical. As sometimes happens in life, it may be too little too late. He has no idea what’s been transpiring in his absence and that Oliwia is forced to make decisions she would never willingly make to keep those she loves safe. This book ends in a cliffhanger that has me counting the days until I can read the next part of this story and find out what happens next!

This book is like a close friend and a casual conversation. I really love the vibe of this book. It has inspiration for any practitioner new and old alike. Her advice is like a good friend sitting down and having a casual conversation with you over a warm cup of cocoa. There are stories of the authors own personal experiences sprinkled throughout which makes the book more relatable. A lot of her tips are great for everyday life as well and can help to usher out some of the everyday toxicity that is unfortunately so prevalent in society. This is a must read for any pagan looking to strengthen their relationship with divinity and improve their personal practice.

This book was an eye opener for me. As an individual I can’t say that I have ever thought about what someone who is blind goes through in this visual world we live in. This book allowed me to explore some of the ways they experience the world and how they “see” in a different way. I loved how the author helped me to see that anyone who is visually impaired can be and do anything that they want to do. This book is a must read for anyone who would like to explore or find out more about visually impaired individuals and what they experience living their lives.

My first book by this author but it won’t be the last! Fell in love with the characters – can’t go past an alpha male who is a marshmallow when it comes to his woman. Marriage of convenience are some of my favourite stories and this one did not disappoint. There was even a sneak peek of the next book in the series at the end – that will soon be added to my tbr list!!

What a cute story to share with older children. I just love that the book in powers older children/ pre teens to be “Dream keepers”. Passing along the spirit of Santa is a great thing to share. This is a short read and enjoyable for any age group. I sure enjoyed the story and will share with my grandson when he ask the question “is Santa real”.

I feel that I can relate to Harlow because she’s had a hard life like I have and she’s resilient. This book has helped me escape to a fantasy world where ai could actually pretend to be Harlow and be badass like she is and take on the world.

I was lost in this world and wanted it to continue. This writer knew what they were doing and wrote well. I’ll be reading her next book for sure.

Amazingly accurate and best activities

I loved that this book helped to engage the reader. As a person who was deaf as a child and had surgeries enabling them to become hard of hearing the things and activities the author gives to help able bodied people to understand is revioting. I believe more of this is needed. I also loved the poems as it empowered and created visual senses in the mind that were strong and you could imagine them as though you there in that moment.

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #1)Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes, this author has created a love story that can be described as a dream come true.
The main characters are a perfect match.
The moral of the story is not just love but it is stay humble.
How would you feel if you were paid to fake a relationship?
All your worries also disappear.
This was a mix of the movie 365 days with Beauty and the Beast.
It is always great to see a happy ending.
Quite long story but it is a definite page turner.
Both dreams come true for one million dollars.
The death aspect hit me quite hard but Caspian as the main male character created a world of redemption.
This was very well written and I am excited to read the rest of this series.
This author never disappoints.
Five stars for book one, a good clean romance with an amazing fresh plot.
The development of this romance is unmatched.

This is my first time reading a book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. She’s now on my watch list and I’ll be looking for all of the other novels! This book had a great plot and it was a fun read. I finished it in about a day. The biggest selling feature was the character development. The characters were written in a way that was so realistic; their strength and weaknesses felt relatable

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is definitely a unique take on the old “magic user” trope. I liked the concept a lot, and it definitely checked the boxes for a good fantasy/adventure novel. However, the writing wasn’t necessarily my style. It’s not bad by any means, it’s just a bit much for someone who prefers fluffy reads – the whole thing gives me a sort of Game of Thrones vibe (which is a very popular series, just not my thing). The characters were complex and interesting and I thought it was a good story that started out a bit slow. I saw some people didn’t finish the book but I think if you push past the beginning, it gets more enjoyable. Definitely will be interested to see where the next book takes us!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the start.

Caspian visits his dying uncle in the hospital where he is given an ultimatum, marry or he could risk losing the company that he has worked so hard for.
Paisley is visiting her mother at the hospital where she has been in a coma for months. She is lost and doesn’t know how she is going to pay for further care.

These two literally run into each other at the hospital. There is something familiar about the woman, when he gets a closer look he realizes who she is. While having coffee with Caspian he offers her something that seems too good to be true, could she really do it?

Will Caspians plan work? Will he be able to keep his heart out of it or fall for Paisley?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Although I didn’t care for the mean girls and how Caspians uncle treated Paisley. If you’re looking for a great romance with great characters this is the book for you. I really liked these two as a couple. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author. 1-click and get started today.

An emotional must read. I knew I had to read this one after reading the first book. I recommend reading Come Back Tomorrow before diving into this one. This book is the continuation of Will and Tori’s relationship and Will’s fight to beat cancer. In this book there are definitely challenges as Will fights for his life and Tori is there with him and for him. Although there is sadness and heartache in this story there is also hope, love, romance, friendship, and family. I found myself completely invested in their lives and had to read this book in one sitting. I am so glad that we got to see how Will and Tori’s relationship grew as they lived outside of the hospital. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Detective Alexandra Danvers is on a mission to find a child killer. Dealing with her husbands death, hostility to others, depression, and being ostracized by her department she has the odds against her. When she is newly partnered with Detective Xavier Knight things turn a bit romantic but are also fueled with suspense.

As these 2 team up together they are risking life and limb to solve this case, but also finding that there is more to their relationship along the way.

This book was a great thriller. There were many twists and turns that you could not, and did not see coming in this story. There were also a lot of emotions attached to this book. Both main characters had a lot to overcome and you could feel a lot of the sadness from both ends.

What a great story! My 8 year old was the most captivated by this. And she says all the time, “I might be having a bad day but doesnt mean I have to make others have one too”. She always tries to find the better part of a problem than dwell on the bad parts. And that struck a chord with her in this book. Great story and loved the pictures and would have loved more!
