Revenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater – Review by Beverly Finnie

Revenge HoneymoonRevenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What does one do when left at the altar?
Well according to Emily, take Ruby on a Revenge Honeymoon!
Revenge Honeymoon is a romance of a different color. It’s sad but fun. The author wrote a playful story where getting over a horrible situation turns out better than expected!
Ruby, the jilted bride.
Emily, the maid of honor who has a plan to make it right.
And off they go. On the Honeymoon Ruby should’ve been on with her new husband. However things get interesting since it’s a cruise full of newlyweds. Reality the cruise line knows the deal, but to everyone else around them they are a newly wed lesbian couple to hide Ruby’s embarrassment.
One photo session later, they’ve made a new friend and one that could rock Emily’s boat. Which she is at war with herself about. On one hand she can’t take her eyes off of handsome Max. On the other hand, this trip is about Ruby not her. Which all starts to unravel the minute Emily has had a little too much wine. She can’t shut up! They have to keep changing their story to keep Ruby’s real reality under wraps.
What happens when Max becomes the enemy?
What did he do?
To answer those questions it’s time to join the author on the cruise of a lifetime. Well at least for Emily and Max. For Ruby it changes the trajectory of her life. The way the author wrote and depicted that throughout kept me hooked. The character development was phenomenal. Especially for Ruby she grew leaps and bounds and it was wonderful to see.
To reiterate a wonderfully fun read! Check it out!

SoliloquySoliloquy by Janet Fogg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t read many books that have been based in historical times. I normally stick to supernatural, mystery, romance, and children’s (mom of two) books. But I am glad that I gave this one a chance! Erin has a passion for music. She’s a concert pianist and composer, but now she’s been slammed back in time to when Nazi held France! WWII is not where she thought she’d be at this point in her life!! She’s so confused with memories that aren’t hers and of course war time! She must keep up the ruse that she belongs there, while she figures out what the heck happened. And how to get back!! She slowly learns that she’s performing for not only her life, but the lives off all those who live with her. No pressure there!! She’s protecting them by writing music for a nasty German officer. She sees the consequences of creating wonderful music during war time when the German officer asks for more and more. She can’t keep up her lies for long. As Erin tries to hide a British pilot named Arick and help him evade capture and certain death, she can’t help the feeling that she knows this man from another life. And her future life! It’s like her soul knows his. As confusing as it is, she comes to grips with never seeing him again and sending him off with the resistance, but she is betrayed and they are caught. She’s caught in WWII writing music to stay alive, but the darkness’s of war are closing in on her to quick! Time is running out and she still doesn’t know how to get back to her own time!! The German officer is deadly. He also holds all power. He can send them off to a work camp or just kill them outright for anything he wants. As an enemy pilot, Arick can be shot and killed in an instant without another glance. Will she save Arick? Will Erin protect the members of the house? Will they find out she doesn’t belong? Or will they think that she’s gone crazy?! She has to figure out what to do quick, before it’s to late! You have to give this one a chance! You won’t be disappointed. If you love the jumping through time and the suspense of the story unfolding you will love this one. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read other books like this one now!! Thanks for a great read!

Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence Book 2) by Amy Rivers – Review by Ashley Mertz

Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence, #2)Stumble & Fall by Amy Rivers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Synopsis: As a high school psychologist, Kate has been through an awful lot in her time. When Kate purchases a new home in the desert with the idea of turning it into a safe haven for abused women she takes on way more than she anticipated. Tilly, Kate’s sister, a SANE nurse has also had her fair share of awful events within her lifetime. The two sisters are attempting to repair their relationship following a year of not speaking to one another. Will the two of them repair their relationship, put their own tragedies aside, and focus on saving women from rapists?

Reader’s Thoughts: Stumble & Fall is the second installment in the Legacy of Silence series. Although I did not read the first novel in this series, I was able to follow along with the storyline fairly well. I may have missed some minor background information but didn’t feel that it took away from the storyline in any way. I plan to go back and read the first novel.
This psychological thriller had me sitting on the edge of my seat, heart racing, while quickly flipping pages for more. The tragic events that Kate and Tilly endured during their lifetime broke my heart. Their strong will and desire to do everything in their power to help these victims made my heart full. As a nurse, I could 100% relate with their instinct to put their own needs aside and care for others. I love that the characters within this novel are flawed, full of fear and self-doubt, but show us readers how to fight for what is right. There were many tough social topics discussed in this novel. Rivers thought these topics out thoroughly and did an amazing job accurately executing these topics into the storyline making every part believable.

Trigger Warnings: Rape, Sex Trafficking, Sexual Assault

I love the Mafia Elite series and this prequel was just as amazing! It was nice to read about the life of the Mafia Princesses when they were attending college and finding their groove and strengthening their friendships. We learn a lot about Marissa and her tragic passing. The characters were relatable and it reminded me a bit of my college experiences making life long friendships.

Bycatch
By: Alexander Blevens

This book is a fantastic story about soldiers in the Vietnam war. Rex and Nguyen both fought in the Vietnam war and they both survived. However when they returned they were not the same. It is now 25 years after the war and this story focuses on the cultural conflict they face back in the south. There are crimes committed and they both are involved in a different battle back home. These men crossed paths back in Vietnam, and the secrets that they hold follow them back home. When they cross paths later in life the secret they hold begins to bubble over. And it ends in one man’s death.
I cannot explain adequately how good this book was. It was a great look at a story of soldiers in the Vietnam war and the cultural conflict that continued back home. It also is a good look at the culture in the gulf and the lives of fisherman.
The author vividly describes life in the Mississippi region and made me feel as if I was there. This was a wonderfully crafted tale that kept me wanting more. This is such a beautiful story that depicted multiple sides of humanity, but the good and the bad.

A Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann – Review by Christine Baranek

A Crossbow ChristmasA Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Crossbow Christmas
By: Ann Swann

This book takes place in a pandemic world. I love books that tackle the “new normal” that we are all facing right now. So that is major points already for me.
Carina was definitely affected by the pandemic. Haven’t we all. She was in the hospital for several months, working to recover. Now that she’s home all she wants to do is celebrate Christmas with her family. However, everyone’s lives got busier while she was in the hospital. Her husband is too busy working to show that he wants a family Christmas of times past. Her kids are grown, with families of their own. They have all moved away and are too busy to stop and have the Christmas their mother desires.
A friend offers her his cabin for Christmas. If she goes she will definitely have a white Christmas. In her journal, she writes about her desire to go to the cabin. However, she also writes about her worries about going to the cabin alone. Through her journaling, we see that she doesn’t think it is possible to go by herself. How can she? She’s been so busy taking care of everyone else she doesn’t know how to take care of herself. Really, she doesn’t know how she can have a vacation all by herself.
Carina is possibly one of the most relatable characters I have read in a long time. Every mother, wife, woman can relate to her struggles. We may not be able to relate to her struggle of wanting a big Christmas, but we can relate to her struggle to do something nice for ourselves. I don’t know any woman who would willingly take a trip by themselves without second guessing themselves. I think that Ann Swann did a great job encapsulating womens feelings in this story. She captured a women’s grief in the changing seasons of her family. I think everyone about to go through the empty nest process can also relate to those feelings.
I can say I felt the otherside of this as well. I am not a mother or a grandmother. But I am a daughter and I see the change that parents feel when I am torn about who to spend time with on the holidays.
This is such a great book! I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting relatable characters as well as a holiday theme!

Defiant Princess
By: Amy McKinley

This book is the prequel to the Mafia Elite series, but it does stand alone by itself. It is the story of college aged girls that are the daughters of the five families. This is where their story begins. They are all princesses to high up mafia families. Their fathers will do anything to protect them. In some of these cases, their lives are completely out of their control.
LIlianna loves college. She is surrounded by other girls who understand and can relate to the life she lives. Her father is super controlling and all she wants to do is taste freedom. However, her father is so concerned for her that she even has a marriage coming up. One that she has not planned, but has been planned for her. She wants to run away, begin a new life away from her father’s control. But will that be possible?
Sofia is absolutely in love with Enzo. She was the one that he wanted and the same goes for him. However, now even though she loves him, she cannot be with him. She would do anything for him, including walk away from him. She needs to keep him safe, and to do that she has to walk away.
Emiliana is also in love. Stefano is her one true love. She would do anything to be back with him. However, they both live under the control of their fathers. Both fathers are incredibly controlling. They have forbidden them from being together. However, they need to be together. They are meant for each other. If only they could convince the rest of the world that what they need is to be together.
Marissa can relate to the arranged marriage that Lilianna is being forced into. She is in the same position. She is determine to make the best of the time she has before she is traded away in the form of this marriage.
These girls are tasting freedom for the first time. And they don’t want to give it up. The question is how far will they go to get their freedom. Are they willing to risk everything to keep their freedom. Or will they submit to to the will of their families.
I loved this story. These girls were written as incredibly complex characters. Their complex situations just dripped off every page. I’m glad to know that there is more to be written about these girls as I want to see how each of their stories develop. I was left wanting more and that’s a good thing, given that there is more to read. I will be starting the Mafia Elite Series right now!

Rage (Marcy Series Book 1) Audiobook by Linda Burson – Review by Amanda Glaspie

This was an intriguing listen. Marcy who owns her own business has recently developed an uncontrollable rage that starts to effect her life. This leads to issues with her boyfriend Brad and befriending Liam a vigilanty. The story has a weird plot that at times didn’t make sense and was hard to follow but ultimately all made sense in the end. I did find myself getting frustrated with Marcy by allowing such toxic men to be part and control so much of her life. The ending was a surprise albeit a little off the wall; maybe book two in the series will help things make more sense.

I knew I was on to a good book when even the description got my heart racing. I knew right away that I had to read this book because I had to know what was going on. This book was creepy and had me on the edge of my seat in a way that only good horror does. I think it was made more tense by the fact that it was all told from a 5 year old perspective.
This is a completely new author to me and I loved reading their work. It was exciting in a way that I haven’t found in a book recently. I cannot wait to read more from them soon!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this page turner of a novel, which had me hooked from page one. As a sequel to the first book in the series I would personally recommend reading book one first. Having lost her father, Kate is now working on renovating her desert home and working in her psychological counselling practice. Working from the inside means she can also find out who she can trust, but by searching for answers it puts her in danger. Her sister Tilly has moved back to New Mexico, and when a family tragedy occurs it causes Tilly to go into a cycle of self-sabotage, which nearly gets her killed. Both Kate and Tilly struggle with fear and self-doubt in this sequel, and the lives of the victims they are helping also hang in the balance. However, Kate’s determination to save them may actually put more young women in danger, and Tilly may not survive her reckless pursuit for justice. A fast paced and gripping novel which I couldn’t put down. The characters were so well defined I felt like I knew them, making me feel engaged with them and immersed in the storyline.

I highly suggest reading this series to see what happens to these characters after this book. This is a well written story about Mafia princesses. They have a destiny but it is what they want or is there something more? I had no problem connecting with the characters as they pulled me into their story. They have great growth throughout as well as the plot that made it easy to read. This is a story that you don’t want to miss for sure. It is a fast paced, hard to put down story that I read in one sitting. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Painter of the Damned is the second book after the compelling The Prisoner of Paradise in the Painted Souls series. Our characters find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse only to be ensnared by a powerful and secret Order who will stop at nothing until they get what they want.

This unique historical thriller with its multi layered plot and cleverly entwined threads form a historical thriller like no other except its predecessor. It is rich in history and is a smooth blend of fantasy and magical realism as Robs narrative takes us amongst the beauty and darkness of Venice once again transporting the reader.

With corruption, conspiracies, danger lurking, palpable suspense, immense tension and twisty turns it is a page turner that you can immense yourself in and become lost to another time and place.

If you are a lover of historical thrillers and the wonders Outlander you are going to love this series hands down.

Waiting in anticipation of what Rob brings us next.

A Crossbow ChristmasA Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Crossbow Christmas tells the story of a woman who is lonely and sad and was ill and somewhere along the way lost who she really is. She contemplates her life and how she got to where she is.

It is a tale that I think a lot of people will relate to. Who are when the kids are grown? Who are you when you have been married for so long? Who are you when you have always been the care giver? Who are you when you feel lost and don’t know who you are anymore? Who are you when you feel like others are moving on, but you are standing still?

Carina ponders those same questions and sometimes the road to finding the answers to those questions is a frightening place to look. Some time away, some time to herself, some time in a different place may just be what she needs to find herself and her Christmas miracle.

It is an emotional read but a good read.

However, I did enjoy the read and will go and read book one. The was good character development amongst Kate and Tilly and I enjkyed watching them grow.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Hot for Teacher is a second chance romance. Is it Felicia’s take on a modern-day Romeo and Juliet retelling? You will just have to read it to find out. The characters are a little older than the norm (which I like to see) and the female lead is 10 years older than the man. I like that age is not a factor. I liked that the characters have real life experience with relationships and know what they want. The characters are sweet and likable.

The story is told in dual POV, which I love and there was some good old-fashioned wooing and humour to help the story along. I would have liked just a few more of the key elements for a great romance. The premise of the story was good, but I wanted just a little more as it was a little slow going at times.

What do you find when you take a class on Shakespeare?

The Mafia Elite is one of my all-time favourite series so when I saw this book by Amy, I grabbed it and dove right in. This book tells the story of the Mafia Princesses who had the unfortunate fate of being born into elite Mafia families. Where their lives are already mapped out before them, where secrets are paved, and revenge is ripe and arranged marriages are given and ruthlessness is the norm.

The prequel is captivating, and it is a great insight into the lives of characters when they were younger that we have seen throughout the Mafia Elite series. This intriguing and gripping new book is full of drama, mystery, intrigue and danger, with plenty of heart pounding moments. I was on the edge of my seat whilst devouring page after page of this engrossing read.

Now that I have devoured the prequel I am going to go back and reread the amazing original series.

An amazing start to a series favorite of mine. Amy McKinley has the ability to create an interesting story full of characters you can’t help to love.
Defiant Princess is a Mafia Elite Prequel that focuses on the females in the five families. Marissa
is officially engaged to Tony Caruso. Emiliana has been rescued from a human trafficking ring
that presumably claimed the life of Elena. Lilliana isn’t promised to anybody yet and is waiting
for her father to destroy her. Sofia has a crush on Enzo but refuses to act on her feelings. Ivan
from the Russian Bratva has appeared and Marissa wants to ask him about her sister Camila.
The group tries to convince her to stay away from him, especially since Tony was known for being
possessive and would act violently out of jealousy.
To avoid spoilers, I can only state that Marissa’s decisions will affect all of the girls. What does she do?

I almost wish I read this before I started the series because it gives a lot of information and to why things are the way they are and how they got there.

This is a great novella that gives plenty of insight to 4 of the most amazing women I have ever read about. They are the Mafia Princesses. They are all In college together sharing a place, they have guards, everyone knows they are off limits / untouchable. Marissa has a mind of her own and doesn’t listen to the other girls or other guys who want to keep her self.
I absolutely love all these characters but Sofia and Enzo are my favorites!!!
Such an amazing series, you definitely must Run…don’t walk…RUN and get your hands on this entire series. You will not be disappointed.
