A woman grieving the loss of a loved one. A man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Does one fateful summer really have the power to change everything?

Rising photographer Annie Baxter is ready for a fresh start when she makes her way from New York to the sparkly sands of South Beach. A recent college graduate, she has no plans other than to distract herself with sun and surf, pictures and friends.
Then a man named Cal Prescott steps in front of her lens…
When he first spots Annie on the stairs of his best friends’ home, he’s enamored.
It doesn’t matter if they only have the summer. Or if twenty years separate them. They soon find that nothing — not temporary circumstances, panic attacks, or an age gap ­— can keep them from starting what their hearts desire. 

Follow Annie and Cal on a journey of love, loss, and what it means to give up defining themselves.

A connection not to be forgotten.

200,000-words — over 800 pages. Part of the two-book series: The Ocean Series. Either book may be read first. The reader must choose. This is the main title. Contains graphic content that may trigger some readers.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1) by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart – Review by Beverly Finnie

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1)Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What does one do when they get invited to their ex-husband’s wedding? Well that’s how Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes began! The author takes us on a whirlwind of an adventure in a sometimes unusual situation. Sometimes exes are friends but most times they aren’t. And in this case Olivia had decided she wasn’t going to go… However if that happened we wouldn’t have had a book to enjoy!
Olivia was strong-armed by her daughter into going to her ex-husband’s wedding. With her insistence that they will have a date for her. Boy did she not disappoint! The most gorgeous, frustrating, specimen of a man was found waiting for Olivia when she arrived in Belize. What she didn’t know is that this man is a famous hockey player and that his daughter is her daughter’s best friend so he’s not just any stranger. Starting off on a frustrating foot she couldn’t deny how she was feeling and eventually gave in.
Roman thought his daughter was out of her mind inviting him to be a blind date at this wedding. He only agreed because his daughter would be there and he would do anything to spend time with her. A professional hockey player didn’t allow him to be present in her life. What he wasn’t expecting was a beautiful woman, that he made his mission to prove to her she’s exactly that.
Starting out as a fake date turned into something real. The chemistry is undeniable. One problem is that they live in different states. Have careers of their own so how can it progress more than the destination wedding vacation. Well that’s exactly why you’re reading, right? To find out what happens.
The author displays wonderful growth in the story especially for Olivia. Roman’s character goes through some growing pains too!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I’m always a sucker for a sports romance. What about you?

A fast paced love story with pg romance and swoon worthy characters what’s not to love about this novella.

Fractured Hearts-Prospect (Grimm Wolves MC Book 7)Fractured Hearts-Prospect by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author never fails to deliver an absolutely astounding read! She is one of my favorites to keep on my watch list because I haven’t found a book of hers that I haven’t fallen in love with throughout many different series. This is the 7th book in the Grimm Wolves MC series and what an addition it turned out to be. I’m fully invested in the emotionally tormented characters as well as the suspenseful rollercoaster of a storyline. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire book as it was incredibly intense and heart-wrenching. I was torn between reading as quickly as possible and trying to slow down to really absorb every beautiful detail that was intricately woven into this series. Dingo and Celee just have this way about them, and their chemistry is palpable. They truly evolve right before your eyes and it’s as if nothing else exists. If you love a captivating MC romance with plenty of action, drama, and suspense, don’t pass this book/series up or you’ll regret it! I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next because I am READY!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like the book cover art!! It’s an incredibly riveting thriller which is book 7 of this series. I was captivated from page one

The author does a great job making the continued storyline suspenseful and exhilarating. The characters are well written and they’re easily recognizable as someone you know in your life.

For those who are animal lovers, Cody the dog is my favorite character.

The twists and turns in this book will hook you and I highly recommend this read. I cannot wait to read what’s next!!

This Egg Won’t Hatch by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Julie Johnson

This Egg Won't HatchThis Egg Won’t Hatch by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great read by Lois Wickstrom!

Mama Warbler is sitting on her nest keeping the eggs warm. One day, those eggs start to hatch and Mama is so excited to see her new youngins. The first one to hatch is much too big to be a warbler. She’s a cuckoo who’s mom laid her in the warbler’s nest. All the other eggs hatch but one. She’s known as the Timid Chick. She just wants to stay in her shell and when Mama Warbler is away gathering food, the Cuckoo started bullying and discouraging her from ever hatching. The Cuckoo then kicks Timid Chick out of the nest one day while Mama is away. Things have a whole new perspective after that for Timid Chick.

This is a great book for kids to learn how to stand up to bullies. It’s also great for teaching kids that it’s ok to be timid but that by doing so, they may be missing out. It’s an encouraging read that is also intended to help build up confidence in those who may not have as much as others. It’s ok to be timid but let’s work on building up courage and confidence!

Fractured Hearts-Prospect (Grimm Wolves MC Book 7)Fractured Hearts-Prospect by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great read from an exceptional author. This is the seventh book in this series and should be read in order so you have a better understanding of the characters and backstory of what’s going on. This story is full of danger, drama, action, deceit, love, forgiveness, family, and more. There are some subjects that could be triggering for some readers so be aware of that before reading. This author never disappoints, her stories are always engaging and every book I have read by her is always hard to put down because I get so engrossed in them.
Both of the main characters have a rough past that’s hard to let go of. Celee is on the run trying to stay alive and Frank is trying to protect her. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. I found myself rooting for them and hoping they find the love that they both deserve. This book is told from different pov’s and it made the story that much more interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend it.

Hot Flashes and Hockey SlashesHot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am 100% team Olivia and Roman.

Olivia is an older FMC that is dealing with hot flashes and crazy hormones…and now she is going to a destination wedding where her ex-husband is the groom. Enter her children who hook her up with a fake date to the wedding. How bad could it be? Sun, sand, some drinks….and a professional hockey player?!?

Roman is nearing the end of his professional career. His teammates keep getting younger and younger while…well…he isn’t. When he finds himself being Olivia’s fake date, he doesn’t expect the chemistry that these two have. However, a vacation fling is just that…right?

These two had me laughing and kept me turning the pages. Due to the age range, I found myself connecting with Olivia. (Hot flashes are no joke – take stock in a fan company!) The banter was great and the chemistry was off the charts. Both have pasts that they need to work through…and somehow they each made the other a better person. A great, entertaining book that I really enjoyed! Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Slay It With a Diamond (Diamond District Mystery Book 3)Slay It With a Diamond by Rob Bates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a well written mystery story filled with suspense and intrigue. Somehow, I think this is my first book involving a mystery about diamonds and I fully enjoyed every moment of it. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone. It is easy to become invested in what is happening and I found myself swept up by the mystery that needed to be solved.
The characters were all good to read about and added to the overall story. I struggled a few times to fully connect with Mimi, but as the story went one I warmed to her and enjoyed her role in the book. This is a great book and I will be going back to read the others.

These two!!! Wow do they have chemistry! It is literally leaping off the pages! That helped entrance me into the story and then I really just went along for the ride! This is the fourth book in the series and it is my second favorite. Forrest and Kiera are both amazing. Each one has their own thing going on and when they are together its fire! He has the whole vendetta going on then he gets involved with Kiera and maybe that vendetta is not as important as it once was. The many changes he goes through during this action packed story are wonderful. That epilogue was perfect and actually even before that (maybe the previous chapter) so sweet! Kiera really gets Forrest!

This was such a lovely read and a great way to introduce young readers to new and exciting genres. I liked that the book was also introducing chapters to children and would encourage them to read a chapter a night before bed maybe. The story was easy to follow with delightful characters that will definitely be great for children to begin those first connections with. This reminds me of the books that I enjoyed when I was younger. With the mystery surrounding the missing mail to will certainly get children thinking about the outcome of the story.
A wonderful read and one that young readers are sure to enjoy!

I was drawn into this book straight away when the action really does kick off as soon as it starts. I really enjoyed the book overall and thought that it was a great introduction to this new author! Her writing style was great, really engaging, easy to read and the characters were brilliant. I liked Joy I thought that she was a sweet, kind and relatable person. All (well majority) of the characters in the story were really sweet and relatable. I loved the setting and time period for the story – historical romance is my favourite genre so to find this book was great and added in is that bit of Christmas magic and it was a perfect book for me! I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future.

Finding Your Heart by Nadia Han – Review by Katie Matthews

Finding Your Heart: A Journal for Discovering Your HeartFinding Your Heart: A Journal for Discovering Your Heart by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this journal! It was so accessible and just an absolutely joy to have as part of my wellbeing. I love journaling – over the past 12 months especially I have found that using something like this has enabled me to work through problems and come out the other side. The prompts in the book make you stop and think about your life and also when you are feeling like you are in a better place it’s so good to be able to look back and see how far you have come. I loved being able to fill in the beautifully illustrated pages. I loved the positive affirmations, they are so important to remind yourself of something positive everyday even when you feel like everything is negative around you.
For anyone who find it easier to write out feeling than talk about this then I would 100% recommend Finding Your Heart – it would make a fantastic part of your metal wellbeing journey!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another amazing book in this series – 8 books in and each one just gets better than the one before. I think this was probably my favourite of the series so far, even though I’m pretty sure I’ve said that after finishing each book. I was very taken with Master Sardinia, he was so dark, dangerous and oh so delicious! The dual POV provides a real depth to the story and the characters, you really do get to see things from both sides. I loved the connection between the characters and there was definitely a fair amount of passion and chemistry between them! I really cannot wait to read the next book! Whilst these books could be read independently I would 100% recommend reading them in order!

Hot Flashes and Hockey SlashesHot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this steamy romantic comedy. It was so well written that I laughed till I cried in parts. The author’s portrayal of Olivia was a really relatable character for me as a woman who is in the beginnings of menopause. I could sympathise with her with the hot flushes and brain fog but she’s an amazing determined woman who doesn’t let it stop her. I also loved Roman. His character was so likeable how he works so hard to make Olivia see what he sees that fact that she is an attractive hot woman no matter her age, weight or what she’s going through.
Olivia’s ex husband invites her to his wedding to show off his new younger bride. Even though Olivia doesn’t want to go she does for her kids. She knows there is no way she can compete with the bride to be and the thought of spending time in her ex’s company fills her with dread.
However her daughter and her friend have a plan. Why not fight fire with fire. And they don’t come hotter than hockey player Roman.
When Roman’s daughter asks him to be a fake date for her friends mum he doesn’t think twice about accepting. After all it’s a favour to his daughter. The plan is simple pretend to date this woman, make her look good in front of her ex and bride and then return to his life. But what happens when he realises that the “fake feelings” and relationship are becoming something more. For once in his life he has found a woman who wants him for him and not his fame or status.
What will happen after the wedding? Will they get the happy ever after they both deserve or will it just be a holiday fling.
I loved this story and I was willing them to succeed. Getting older isn’t fun for anyone but it was refreshing and exciting to read a story about a older couple having such sizzling chemistry and passion.

This story follows Adam and Hope. This is a contemporary romance novel that tells the story of love, loss, and second chances. It follows these two as they navigate through life’s challenges and discover the power of love. Adam was dealing with a loss and certainly did not expect to run into Hope again. Hope wanted Adam but the timing was not right. The second time though – maybe, just maybe, he could be hers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lies That Bind is book six in the Logan McKenna storyline. Valerie Davisson brings in different sensitive topics into her writings, and this time is no different. Trauma is sometimes passed from generation to generation, causing a multi-generational curse that is hard to break. Once again, Logan McKenna has found herself in the middle of a murder, and ofcourse she can’t keep her hands clean enough to stay out of it all. While in the middle of buying a new home, meeting her half sister, and now a murder, she really has her hands full this time. This was a great addition to the series and the characters continue to evolve and develop. Even after six books in, I am still intrigued with how Logan keeps finding trouble. Let’s see what new problems she encounters in the next one…..

Safe Harbor is book five in the Logan McKenna series and very well written crime story with a strong female lead. As always, you can read this as a standalone, but it does follow characters from previous books so extra character development and details carry over. This time around, Logan McKenna is in Oregon and if we have learned anything at all, she has a knack for finding problems. When a murder is reported, Logan finds herself being a suspect and she must prove her innocents. The author has an ability to suck us in to her characters, plots, and settings in a believable way, making this an easy read. I wonder where the next one will take us with Logan and her crew!

Vanishing Day is book four in the Logan McKenna series and once again touches on sensitive topics. While this is a continuation in the series I do think it could be read as a standalone as well. In Vanishing Day, a Lori is trying to keep herself and her small child safe from an abusive husband. When the husband comes to try to make a bad situation worse, Logan steps in to try to help her new friend. Now, with too much information and getting involved in Lori’s dilemma, Logan is also in danger. I really liked the way this author can take a serious topic and twist it into an engaging story, bringing awareness to situations but not lecturing on them. Well done and well written.

Lost and Found is the ninth book in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series and is a fast paced thrilling Mystery that will have you turning the pages till the end. This series just keeps getting better and better with each new book and this one may be my favorite yet. There’s just the right amount of mystery, secrets, lies, deceit to keep you guessing. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Logan is back and this time the stakes are higher than ever . Can she catch the killer before her own life is ripped away? Is Sam’s friend innocent or is there more to him? Follow along as Logan is in a race against time to find the killer. Who can she really trust? The killer will do anything to keep the truth hidden and will do absolutely everything to protect themselves. I highly recommend diving into this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings us next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a hard book to put down. This book series has been amazing and keeps you wanting more at the end of every book. I do suggest reading the other books first but can be read by itself.

This book follows the stories of Shane and Winter. Shane has worked his whole life towards one goal but one night that all could change for him. One action with good intentions that could cost him everything he has worked for. As a son and brother, he just wants to make his family proud and follow his dreams. He is highly determined and goes for what he wants.

Winter came back to town with one goal. Which was to find answers to things that happened to her family a long time ago. She does not want or need any distractions and that is what men can be.

What happens when the person you collide with seems familiar? Can someone who you can’t place be a key factor in your life? Do opposites attract or will a war ensue?

Read this book to find out what happens with these two.

I felt a kinship with Sue from the beginning. She and I are the same age and trying to figure out the next steps in life now that the kids no longer need us like they used to. The prospect of having to figure the next path to take is not only hard but also scary.

Sue evolved and developed her own identity and learned so much about herself as well as others. She is no longer Gabe’s wife and the boys mom but she is now Sue and I loved every minute of it.

I enjoyed the book and hope to see Sue again.

Every time I pick up a new book in this series, I am just speechless. I love each one more than the last and that’s saying something! This author has such a magical way of weaving these stories that pulls you into the world. It feels like an immersive experience instead of just reading about something happening to a character. Speaking of characters, Logan is one of my favorite people of ALL time. She seems to have a knack for finding trouble, or vice versa. You can definitely read this as a standalone, but reading the previous ones gives you so much more depth with our main character, Logan. I promise you’ll end up picking up the rest of the series afterwards anyways! If you’re looking for a thrilling crime read, look no further. This book (and series) is the one for you!
