The Sacrifice (Dragonpets Book 1)
By R.L.S. Hoff

3 out of 5 Stars

The Sacrifice was an easy read. It took me a few tries but once I got into it I was able to finish it the same day. The thought process of the book is interesting and has a lot of potential. I can’t wait to see the characters develop in the following books. If this book pokes your curiosity as it did for me you should go ahead and give it a try. Just be mindful that this book is targeted for YA and it delivered just that.

Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms Book 1) by E.G. Manetti – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Elemental Fire (The Hidden Realms #1)Elemental Fire by E.G. Manetti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sin Marston is a young human woman with unusual talents, she can see through an individuals glamour and this is one of the things the Hidden use to keep their identities hidden from humans, this talent of Sin’s is especially helpful in the security industry and that is why Sin is known as one of the best in the business, her latest case is the theft of artefacts from an exhibition which is moving around the USA and she is determined to find the culprit here in Boston. Radzik Cray is a fire elemental who has travelled the realms of the Hidden, as well as Terra where the humans live, he is a powerful and high ranking Hidden with a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders as a Warden of the Elder Council, one of which is controlling what passes through the veil, a transitory passage between Terra and the Hidden realms and this is not as easy as it sounds.

Ever since the veil treaty came into force in 2010, magical visitors had to gain permission to travel between the realms, but there are some who don’t get that and that is where the Human Protection Society come into play, they enforce the rules around Terrran and non Terran interactions and the repercussions of breaking these rules. This is where Sin comes in as she can use her talents and expertise in security and business to aid in the understanding and sometimes enforcement of these visitors so that they can have a positive experience, but also to warn them of what could happen if this is not the case.

As usual, Sin is successful in foiling the heist and captures the Hidden and takes them to the authorities, however, when she meets Radzik and finds out why the heists were happening, it puts a new spin on what she thought she knew and this includes him, there is a definite attraction between the two and her curiosity gets the better of her, so she learns even more about the Hidden world and the fire elemental who heats her blood up as well. As they grow closer, Radzik realises that his job is not as in control as he thought and that he is finding that things are getting past his attention which shouldn’t be, but why is it happening and how does Sin tie into it all? This is a fantasy adventure full of magic, beings from other realms and a bit of romance to keep it interesting as danger lies around every corner and thing are not as they seem, in this story which will keep you looking for all the hidden excitement throughout.

The Rom Com Movie Club (The Rom Com Movie Club Book 1) by Bernadette Marie – Review by Sheri Schrader

The Rom Com Movie Club - Book OneThe Rom Com Movie Club – Book One by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Rom Com Movie Club is the first book in The Rom Com Movie Club series. Lisa and her friends have had their Rom Com Movie nights since their younger days, and now in their 30s, they want to meet their romantic matches. Lisa had a rough childhood and finds it hard to trust anyone. Ryan has moved back home and has been burned in the romance department.
I really enjoyed this fun read. The story is lighthearted and filled with romantic tension. I enjoyed the characters, and the friendship Lisa and her friends shared. I also enjoyed the relationship that grew between Lisa and Ryan. The story was true to the rom com title.
I look forward to seeing who is featured in the next book in the series.

I love this book so much! Huge page turner for me and I couldn’t put it down. I’ve been in a reading slump and this was the book to pull me out of it! 😍😍 The connection Lisa has with her group of friends is absolutely AMAZING. The way they’re always looking out for each other and being their for one another is simply heart warming. Lisa had a rough child hood growing up. She didn’t have the family a lot of kids have. She was in and out of foster homes. Until one day as an adult, she met this group of 3 girls and they were inseparable ever since. You don’t see friendships as great as theirs and I adored every page I read. Then Lisa meets Ryan and it’s love at first sight! Lisa doesn’t think she deserves love and she thinks everyone is going to leave her, but Ryan makes it a point to make her BELIEVE she deserves everything good in life. It’s a really good book and I can’t wait for the second book to come out!!! I’ll be counting down the days. Highly recommend everyone to read this if you love a good rom com 😉

A wonderful story Katrina who is a design consult who end up falling for Chase, a very wealthy and powerful man. Chase is overprotective and overbearing and Katrina deals with trauma from her mothers past. Their story includes sexual exploration, secrets, and suspense. It definitely has a 50 shades feel to it so keep that in mind when reading. The story and erotica is definitely not new and the writing isn’t perfect which is the only reason I didn’t rate it higher but I would still recommend this book to someone to looking for a nice quick enjoyable read

When I started this book I expected a typical historical romance story. What I actually got was something much more complex. I loved how intricate and vivid it seemed to be. I really got caught up in Erin and the journey she goes through. I felt the connection between her and Arick.
This is a new author to me and I really enjoyed her style of writing. There was so much more to this book than I expected. I thought the author did a great job of portraying the era and everything that comes with it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This is a brilliant collection of Christmas stories and is really one to get you in the festive spirit. I really enjoyed each and everyone of these stories and the different styles of the authors. They were all distinct and separate from the others with the only overlap being the theme and the romance. Each book was well written and there was some amazing characters across the board. Even when reading these books back to back they were easily to distinguish and easy to connect with.
I had read only a small amount by any of these authors so it was great to be introduced to some new ones. Each of them brought something to the anthology and it made it a great collection to read. I am looking forward to discovering more of their work in the future.

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

I don’t know where to start with this book. The suspense, the drama, the characters, the family dynamics all are fantastic. Add in the brutal subject matter, the powerful tension of this book rockets up.

Kate and Tilly are sisters that grew up in a small New Mexican town with an evil overcast. Powerful men in the city have been trafficking the young girls for years. Kate discovered this when a student of hers at the local high school was murdered. The revelation led to many more, including Tilly’s history with the trafficking ring. Now, after the ring was exposed and Kate and her boyfriend were nearly killed to keep what they knew quiet, Kate and Tilly are attempting to rebuild their lives and their relationship.

Kate has opened her own therapy practice. Tilly and her boyfriend have moved closer. Tilly is starting a new job. Steven is off achieving a dream. Things are settled and seem to be moving towards domestic bliss. But it is never that easy. Tragedy strikes for Tilly. Kate makes some startling revelations regarding her parents. The twist, the questions all leading to more.

I jumped in this series here. I was blown away. Take my advice, it doesn’t matter where you start this series, just start it. I don’t know how much more these sisters can take but I hope they get the justice they deserve in the end. Ruth must go down!!! I will be going back and picking up the first one! I am hooked until the end! You will be, too!!!

I loved this book so much. Reading it made me smile and tug at my heartstrings hard. My nieces and I love the story all about Albert the Turkey. Coming into the Thanksgiving Holiday, Albert the Turkey is at a farm where a family comes to purchase their Thanksgiving Turkey. Albert tries so hard to be kind and flaunt his feathers that the family changes their mind. I love that the story you learn what the “pardon” means and what is behind it. As the family navigates a decision…Albert is hoping he can be safe.

This story is just wonderful, the illustrations and spot on and fantastic and the book can be for young and old alike. I always look forward to this author’s books…….just pure joy!!

I am quite familiar with book written by this author so I had a good feeling that I would enjoy this one too. And that was correct. While a little different from some of her previous stories, I loved the idea of time traveling and was immediately enthralled by this book. This author certainly knows how to tell a story set in a different time and era. Her attention to the details is phenomenal and leaves me wanting to step foot into the story. The characters in this story are probably one of my favorite casts because they were so relatable to me. This story really made me question what I would do and where would I go if given the opportunity to travel through time. I loved this book from the beginning, and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although I didn’t read the other books in this series, The Protector is easy to read as a standalone and gives us a bit of insight into the former books couplings. The subject matter may be a bit triggering to some readers, but it was well written and not graphic details. The character of Renee is so heartbreaking and stronger than she is willing to allow herself to feel. Declan is her rock and the only one she wants to open up to full heartedly. This story takes us into a form of intimacy that stems from trauma and helping each other heal in the most horrible of circumstances. I really liked the pairing of Declan and Renee and how they both had to conquer a relationship built first on trust and lack of physical touch.

Rage (Marcy Series Book 1) Audiobook by Linda Burson – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Only one word to start this review off, WOW! This is a great start to this series. Marcy is extremely independent and strong. Finding herself in a store robbery, her anger gets the best of her. As she gives the robber a beat down. Okay I had to laugh at the fact she just responded so quickly that the people around her were stunned, including the man at the register. But when her boyfriend and employees insist she get counseling for her anger issues. She decides to go as she knows she is angry but does not know why. Then in walks Liam who needs Marcys help in making mends against the people who killed his family. That’s it! No Spoilers! I have read many of this author’s books, and she never disappoints. Marcy is definitely strong and independent, Liam is seeking Marcys help and Brad, the long time boyfriend, is wanting to keep Marcy close. I love the characters in this story and am looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a standalone, forbidden office romance. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed.

Devlin is aiming for a promotion and he’s only got one to follow. No fraternizing. Seems easy enough- at first. Evelyn wants to move up so she’s going to take the steps she needs to, starting with this party. Going through a breakup makes things a bit challenging but she’s determined. She doesn’t count on Devlin and the last thing she needs is for them to get caught. Their connection is real but is it worth the risk?

I really enjoyed this book. The chemistry between Devlin and Evelyn was so believable and extended beyond the wanting want you can’t have. Definitely recommend giving it a read!

WWII is my favorite genre to read. This is a love story about a pianist who is gifted some figurines. When one breaks, Erin finds herself transported back in time to occupied France. While there, she attempts to save herself and others from a German Officer. Erin also meets a British pilot who she feels a connection to – we learn of their bravery and willingness to stand up for what is right. I enjoyed the characters and setting of this story.

This book was written so perfectly, could not have asked for more. With the aspect of WWII, you truly felt the emotions of the characters and what was going on. In truth, the book also had a lot of beauty!

I found the characters in this time travel story very captivating The love that was felt was very real to me and undeniable. The emotions were real, I felt I was time traveled myself to where the story is time traveled. This book showed me that in our darkest moments, we can find light. The main character who is the one time traveled, from a gift received from a decreased relative, learns. Admired Erin greatly. The interactions with her and the pilot, were beautiful and yet haunting. If you lived thru what Erin did, and learned and experienced what she did, would you give it all up to return to your life? It was a powerful read, and I could not put it down at all. When I reached the end, I must say I was unprepared. I really am hoping for a follow up book by this wonderful author! This book is an intense gem! Absolutely loved with all my soul!

I cannot say enough good things about this book or author. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year. Not kidding either! Highly recommend this must read book, as well as the author! Amazing read!

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and I loved them because I could see so much of me and my friend in them. The friendship between Emily and Ruby is really special and you just know no matter what these girls will be by each others side always.

When Ruby is left at the alter she is understandable heartbroken but her best friend and maid of honour comes to the rescue with a great way to save something from the disaster. The girls are going to go on the couples honeymoon cruise and have a great time. What could go wrong?
This story is full of funny laugh out loud moments, twists as the story progresses and the main theme of friendship no matter what. These girls get up to so many adventures and things you don’t even imagine but you won’t wait to put it down until the end. I fell in love with this book as well as the characters.

“A modern ranch with an ancient secret.”

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily is a western women’s fiction story- a family saga with secrets, drama, mystery, family, conflict, kidnapping, suspense, adventure, action, romance, mother daughter relationship dynamics, and palpable tension.
Ms. Daily has written a richly detailed and vividly descriptive story- her attention to detail really makes this story come to life and has given the characters a realistic and believable quality. The story is told from several POV’s, moving from past to present and back again, which captures the complexities of the storyline really well, and gives the reader a really great vantage point from which to enjoy the story.
I thought the dramatic developments were really well crafted and made the story quite engrossing. This is my favourite of the two books of Ms. Daily’s that I have read, so far, and I look forward to seeing what she does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Julia Brewer Daily!

The Rom Com Movie Club- Book One by Bernadette Marie was such a great read. It is a contemporary romance, with witty humour, banter, friendship, fate, angst, drama, chemistry, and wonderful characters.
This grabbed me right from the start and I soon found myself fully immersed in the story, reading the whole thing in one sitting. The characters were really well-crafted into fully developed individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. Our MC’s are both a little broken and carry their own pain- and were so great together. There was a little insta-love, but the author didn’t make it too easy for them, throwing in a little drama and angst, as well as meddling friends and family, to build some tension and keep us (the reader) turning the pages to find out how it all plays out in the end.
Another to add to my list of favourites by Bernadette Marie.
Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Bernadette Marie.

I loved the colored pages with each poem. I liked the references to the Beatles. It has challenging vocabulary but the words painted a picture of meaning.
