The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love novels with another world that I get to explore, and this world did not disappoint. I also loved Talise. With a great power comes great responsibility, and we see that with Talise. She carries a lot on her shoulders. Lots of great characters and great plot. I’m hoping we can read some more books in this world!
A Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Spell Of Rowans
By: Byrd Nash
Genre: Supernatural & Mystery/Crime
Pages: 308
**Trigger warning**
This book contains a traumatic twist.
Now this is the book I think I may have been waiting for.
This gave me evil Charmed Ones vibes.
Death always has a chance of bringing up family secrets but how deep have they been buried.
This is an intense read in the best way.
The Rowans give a story that starts from page one and no I did not put it down.
This is series worthy because I want back stories ad I need more.
Nash has did this story justice with the magic and the crimes, the trauma that made me stop for a second and cry.
This is a favorite of 2021 Five stars all the way around.
The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kay L. Moody has given us a story that is original and amazing. The characters are so well connected and personalized that you can feel the life and depth that each brings to the story. You can clearly imagine the vivid imagery of this world created and picture each scene as it takes place.
Talise is like no character I have experienced before. A citizen of Storm she is given the opportunity to leave the criminal planet and attend the academy as a means to better her life. Having the ability to yield all 4 elements she is already at the top of the game and on her way to her dream profession of a Master Shaper.
Aaden who is a her rival and biggest competitor shares a complicated history with Talise, but also one where hate rivals their love. A very unpredictable and exciting piece of Talise’s puzzle that you leads to more twists and turns. This fantasy book will not allow you to stop reading until the end, and every moment is worth it.
Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the perfect romance to put you in a holiday frame of mind. I could almost smell cinnamon sticks and pumpkin pie, see lights twinkling and snow falling. Liberty and Sawyer appear to be complete opposites on the surface but they quickly feel a connection between them that grows by the minute. It was pure magic seeing the way that Sawyer lit up as he interacted with Liberty and her family as they enjoyed holiday festivities together. There is also such a beautiful twist in this story that really lets you peek into the true heart of Sawyer and see why these two are absolutely meant to be together!

Book Review: Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers Book 2)
Author: Belinda Williams
FIVE STARS
Luke is a divorced dad, Nadia is a female player. She is in it all for the fun and no strings attached hookup. Luke is more down to earth and responsible.
There is a bit of history between these two. Will Luke get to follow his heart this time or will Nadia send him packing after Luke helps her with her fixer-upper home.
Great characters and development.
Spoilsport is the 2nd book in the Pierce brothers series. There are a total of four. They can all be read as stand alones or you can read them back to back.. So far Tom and Luke are HOT HOT HOT.

Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are certain types of books I reach for when I’m in a reading slump. Books that have well loved tropes, but without them being overwhelmingly… tropey… and cliche. Comfort reads. This is one of those books I could see myself picking up again. It’s got a little enemies to lovers, hate to love type feeling. But the banter was great, the steam was steamy and the ending made me happy!
Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book Review: Mr. Nice Guy (Pierce Brothers Book 1)
Author: Belinda Williams
Five Stars
This is such a cute story. Tom is proving that are really “NICE” guys out there. Chelsea has such low self esteem that it is really hard to read in places, but she does bounce back and becomes a bit more confident before the end. Way to go Tom on that one. This story is really good. The friends become lovers or brothers best friend genre.
I saw in the blurb about this book that Mr. Nice Guy is actually the first in a series about four brothers. I am definitly going to be checking all of them out. I hope they are all as good as Tom and Chelsea’s story.

SpoilSport (Pierce Brothers Book 2)
By: Belinda Williams
Genre: Romance
Pages:259
This was a fun, easy story of romance. Keep in mind I end this as a stand alone although it is book two of a series.
I found a new book beau Luke who is deeply described as a green eyed beauty.
Luke hopes that a feisty and independent Nadia will love him although she I hard to get.
The plot made it easy to keep reading and Williams does a great way of making you fall in love with her characters.
It all starts with a fixer upper and I as hooked from the first page.
If your looking to get out of a reading slump read this series.
Four stars and I am interested in book three.
Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is a fairy tale romance with a mafia twist. The sparks between Sofia and Enzo are off the charts! They’ve loved each other since they were kids but so many obstacles keep standing in their way. The way that Enzo looks at Sofia and the way that he cherishes her is everything! This book is full of romance, danger, heat and betrayal. It will keep you on your toes and draw you in from the very first page to the last and the ending is absolute perfection! I am an Amy McKinley fan for life after reading the first two Mafia Elite books and I am eagerly looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Elements of the Crown was an amazing story! This book was enthralling from the start and I had trouble putting it down. This book was packed full of suspense, action, fantasy and some romance as well. This book is based around elemental control and shaping those elements and I’ve never read a story quite like this one before. This book was entertaining, fast paced and action packed and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!
Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first of the Default Distraction books I have read but am adding the first three books to my TBR list so I can get to know all the guys in the band better.
This is Luke and Nikki’s story. He is a single father to a precious four-year-old daughter. Their back story is very moving but am so proud of Luke and the band for being family to each other and rising above what life has thrown at them.
Nikki is a nanny, who had a teenage crush on Luke, who is in her favorite band. When she interviews to be a nanny for his daughter, she has a hard time not being that fangirl. Can Nikki be perfect for Luke and his daughter? Or will she stay just the nanny?
I really enjoyed this book and all the characters and how they connect to each other. I find that I love a good book that shows people having each other’s backs through thick and thin.
The Mating Call by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked this story. Mating Call is book one in the Long Claw Pride series. The author, Brooke May, really has an amazing talent at creating this new world of shifters. One note I would have appreciated was a little more background on why they are Mountain Lion shifters. What made them that way and what is the deeper story?
That note aside the story line itself is really well developed, with characters that are well fleshed out and make you care about them. I thoroughly enjoyed Cheyanne & Lane’s story and look forward to reading more about the rest of the family.
This wonderful HEA tale will keep you engaged and leave you with a smile.

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers Book 2) by Belinda Williams is everything that a romance book should be. Filled with tension, great charcters, a few steamy scenes and most of all a happily ever after Spoilsport will have every romance reader on the edge of their seats.

But after a terrible one night stand and an offer she can’t refuse will these two enemies become lovers? You’ll have to read

Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So I absolutely love, love Christmas. It is by far my fave holiday. So with that being said I most certainly love stories that take place on or near Christmas Time. Also, I know I may have read out of order, since it is book four in it’s series. But it very well may be read as a standalone. This is a first time read by the author for me as well. It will NOT be my last either! Loved Snowflakes & Stockings sooo much. Once started reading could not set aside until I read it ALL! It was truly such a sweet heartwarming, small town romance. Another of my faves! Now I sooo have to go back and read books one through three!!
Ashes of Aldyr by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book drew me in from word one! I was captivated by the stories of the different characters, and couldn’t stop reading because I really wanted to know what came next. The world is so original and I can’t say I wanted to be there because it’s scary, but I wanted to know why everything was happening and understand what was going on in the world. I just really didn’t want to stop reading and can’t wait to see what happens next!
The Mating Call by Brooke May

The Mating Call (Long Claw Pride Book 1)
Brooke May
This book is a quick easy read. I’m not going to give spoilers, over all its a starightforward love story that involves shifters … A couple of scenes I didn’t get why they were in there really but overall it was a good book. I can see myself reading the rest series.

If you are looking to put a little magic into your life this book will help you. It was lovely and insightful into everyday life and how to improve yourself in all aspects of it. I loved how easy it was to read and understand. With topics such as self-care, healing, and connection to yourself on a deeper level this book is full of mystical insights.

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals
Naomi Valkyrie
this is a very short story. I normally won’t read anything under 200 pages but I figured I’d mix things up. I loved this story and wish this would become a full novel as well as a series, Its that good. I was so sad when it ended. It takes a different spin on shifters and that intrigued me as I continued to read I fell into the story and didn’t want it to end.
Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was such a sweet Christmas Hallmark Movie in the making! Liberty Johnson is a reporter who has been working on a piece for a few years now. She is looking for a Secret Santa Claus who has been donating millions of dollars worth of presents for families in Maine who deserve a true Merry Christmas. When she narrowed down her choices, she came down to a young millionaire named Sawyer Campbell. Ever since they met for a quick interview, they have been seeing more of each other closer to the holidays. There is love, family, and friendship in this story that deserves it all!

Check In by Debra Parmley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is the second installment in the Bobbins Sisters Series from Debra Parmley, Check In, and I would have to say I really was excited to get my hands on it after reading the first one. You don’t have to have read that one to enjoy this one, however we do meet our main character in the first book and have some background there so that may enrich your reading since this is a fast and brief read. I would have to say this is a struggle for me again with this book. I just wanted a bit more again. It had so much going for it and I loved some parts but every time I got going and invested it just felt like I was slighted and cut off. I would have invested the time and read more if I was given it so I hope that the shorter novels aren’t to appeal to the reader and keep them interested. I felt as if this story could have really just exploded in some places and become a huge thriller. I do look forward to seeing what book three will bring us and the hope that we will get a bit longer of a read in that one. I am looking forward to spending the dime with the Bobbins sisters.

The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoy every book that I have read of Ms. Moody’s so far, but I have to say this collection of novellas, The Elements of the Crown, has to be my favorite I have read of hers so far. This has just about everything you could want in a fantasy and adventure read. I was constantly on the edge of my seat and found myself struggling to put this sucker down to get anything done in the adulting world. I mean this is a sign of a good book though so what could be wrong with that?!? I loved how this book had so many different layers to it. Even though it is labeled as a young adult genre novel, I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved it as a middle aged woman and feel like it had a wonderful balance of romance, suspense, adventure, intrigue, and more, all on a level that could be enjoyed at many ages. I am excited to see what comes next in this series and whatever collection may come next from Kay L. Moody!

Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series centering on Sofia and Enzo’s story in the thrilling world of the Italian American mafia. Sofia and Enzo grew up together, their relationship becoming strained after a few life-altering events that eventually put a rift between them. However, neither can deny the chemistry and unshakable bonds that link not only their day-to-day lives but hearts. Soon their shared past comes back to haunt them and secrets are revealed. Blood Oath filled in some of the few questions I had after reading the first book (No Way Out) and I really enjoyed learning more about the lives these characters live and the rules they live by. Blood Oath is the second book in the Mafia Elite series though you can read any of the books in the Mafia Elite series as standalones.
Silent Gavel by Merissa Racine

Who doesnt love a book that starts right off walking into find your bosses bloody body? This book has many twists an turns, the cop an reporter procedures kept the book interesting when the rest was lacking. Looking forward to seeing what the next book in the series has in store for us. I hope Lauren and Sam come back again so we get to see where their romance takes us.

I completely loved this book. These two had me laughing, and rooting for them the whole time.
Not wanting to open her heart to love, Nadia is fighting her feelings for Luke.
I love this series of brothers and them finding love. This is a great series of standalones but you’ll want to read them all no matter what.
Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was so excited to read the second book in the Pierce Brothers series and it certainly did not disappoint! Spoilsport by Belinda Williams was a quick read for me, full of steamy encounters and tangible chemistry between the two main characters.
Nadia and Luke were both introduced in the first book and I was happy to learn more about their relationship as well as hear updates about Chelsea and Tom in this installment of the series. The book watches as ‘cold-hearted’ Nadia slowly warms up to Luke, whom is helping her with her fixer-upper house. The author wrote the book in such a way that I felt like I was going through what they did as I was reading it, which was right on par with the first book! I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Baby/pregnancy romance can definitely be a guilty pleasure! This book is no different! I wish I could go back and read book 1 of Stephanie Harrell’s Curvy Ever After series, but that’s just me! It’s definitely not necessary! Surprise Baby for Mr.Fischer can definitely hold its own.
Harper, the baby of seven girls in her family, meets Kade when he thinks he’s saving her from drowning. Which leads to a wonderful weekend spent together and I’m sure you can guess the outcome. What Harper doesn’t know is that Kade is his middle name and that Lincoln Erickson is a rising star in Hollywood. Harper lives under a rock with her love for antiques; she doesn’t have time to keep up with celebrities.
Lincoln never thought a wonderful weekend would leave him longing to see her again.
Heading into the holiday season this book is about the adventures ahead for Lincoln and Harper as they navigate what they feel, their impending child, and Lincoln’s fame. Harper who’s stubborn as a mule and doesn’t make it easy(also very frustrating, I wanted to jump into the story and scream at her.) Lincoln wants to give her everything and then some, but will she ever be able to handle and accept it?
I guess you’ll have to read and find out. A sweet romance set in Rhode Island is what dreams are made of!
Caught in Midnight Shadows by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hold onto your horses and strap yourself in because Caught in Midnight Shadows will take you for a ride! The suspense throughout the book literally keeps you on the edge of your seat! This book has two povs, Brant and Audrey. Without giving too much away, Brant has some weird things going on in his life. His barn being burnt down, and a few other things. Audrey is haunted by her trauma from a little kid, brought on by the death of her Great Aunt Tilda. Both seek solace in each other while trying to not get attached. The romance builds between them it’s almost palatable and you can feel it as the reader. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I greatly enjoyed the book, The ending wrapped everything up in a neat little bow, although it did have me a little worried there for a minute. The writing was phenomenal and Sharleen Scott has a good way of hooking you in and keeping you there. I loved how nothing was too over the top, but still down to Earth and relatable. I could see that happening to me without too much imagination. I cant wait to read her other books!
