Claiming the Cowboy for Christmas, A Hills of Texas Romance by Kadie Scott. What can I say, other than that, I absolutely loved this author and this book. I have read all of the previous books in this series and I have loved them all. It was great to see one more Hill man fall in love.
Jennings has loved Ashley since he was fourteen. Will he finally be able to show and prove it to her? Will she believe him after everything that they have been through??

5+++++ Stars

This is my second book by this author and as with the first I am totally in love with this series. This is my chosen genre and this author sits in the top with my other favorites and with the way this one ended I just know I will go crazy waiting for the next one.

This book brought back all my favorites and added a new favorite into the mix, or maybe two. I love the fast pace of this book, it is never boring and you never want to put it down. What started with a boring cheater case turned into so so much more and the constant twists and turns had me in heaven. I already want to read both of these again. I seriously hope the next book includes Eric as his quirkiness made this book that much better, and what is the status of one of our lead players, that text had me a bit confused and now my mind is going all over trying to figure out what the future holds for all of these people.

Loved it, you must read these in order, do not start with this one you will be missing vital parts of the story between these characters.

AMAZING!!

Stalking the Stalker (Valley View Mysteries Book 2) by Laura Hawks – Review by Angela Hayes

Stalking the StalkerStalking the Stalker by Laura Hawks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Stalking the Stalker is the second book in the Valley View Mystery series by Laura Hawks. I have really enjoyed my time with this book. It has a great twisty whodunit quality to the mystery, with suspense, drama, intrigue, and more. The ‘stalker’ element of the story gave it an added intrigue, whilst the cleverly crafted mystery kept me guessing.
As always, Ms. Hawks drew me into her book and held my attention right through till the end. I was so caught up in the story that I read it in one sitting. I liked that it was a little different from her other books, but done with the same well-written, tight, and detailed style.
Tyler Channing came to Valley View to play his part in the stage production being held in town. Unfortunately, his psychotic stalker happens to be in town as well. But when her body is found, Detective Mitchell will need to utilize all his investigative skills if he’s to close this case. Secrets are uncovered, and several possible suspects are identified- Tanner included. So, what really happened? Whodunit? And why?
Well worth the read to find out.

Thank you, Ms. Hawks!

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails (Chasing Tails Book 2)Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hang On To Your Shirt Tails by C.A. King is the second book in the Chasing Tails series. You ideally do need to have read the first book before this one as it is a continuation is the same characters and their story.
This book is absolutely fantastic. Every time I pick up a book by this author I think that she can’t possibly get any better than she has and yet every time she beats music expectations. This book is even better than the first. I loved every minute of it.
It was easy to fall back into the lives of these characters, it felt like I had only just finished book one. The story was exciting the whole way through and so well written. I would highly recommend not only this book and this series but this author as well.

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series Book 1) by Becki Willis – Review by Shannon Fowler

Chicken Scratch (The Sisters, Texas #1)Chicken Scratch by Becki Willis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first story by Becki Willis has been time well spent! This story is well written, funny and interesting! Chicken Scratch is an original mystery. My only complaint is that I wish the romance between Brash and Madison would have developed into more…maybe that just means there will be another story in the Sisters series. (Fingers crossed!)

The characters in this story get into a little mischief, but when solving a murder that can happen. The story behind the towns that make up the setting for this story, which I loved, is rather original. Chicken Scratch also includes danger, friendship and enough information about chickens houses than I thought I would ever know! I am looking forward to what other stories Willis comes up with.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great reas about intrigue. Johnny Delarosa returns to investigate a new mystery..he takes a case where a young woman wants revenge on her cheating husband by any means necessary. But there is more to the story with technological giants and Russian mafia get involved. Can he solve it all?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Although at times it felt a little complicated with a lot going on and was hard to read. Well developed characters like Johnny determined to get to the truth but caring underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the feisty kate or the supportive Mike.
I also liked the use of suspense throughout the novlr as details were revealed slowly to keep you reading to find out what happened and who was behind it. The only issue I woolf Roade is that there were many long sentences that made the book hard to read which could have been reduced with a variety of sentence lengths. Fast paced action and high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars

Toxic Blond is the second book in the series and PI Delarosa is back at it again. This story is full of all the good stuff… mystery, suspense and lots and lots of action. Delarosa picks up a case he thinks will be simple open and shut case, but that is so far from the truth. Two people he knows are caught up in the middle and it keeps getting messier and messier. Will he be able to solve this case before anyone gets seriously hurt?
The characters in this book are great. The author put a lot of detail in his characters and story I felt like I was solving the case right along with Delarosa. I would like to read more by this author and I would recommend this to anyone that likes a good mystery.

Oh my goodness, where has this author been all my life? I was so enthralled with this book that i got nothing done around my house once I started.
I love a good mystery and I had my finger pointed to 2 different people for who did it, and while one of them was right, it still took me by surprise as to how and why and what else followed.
I loved seeing the main characters struggle and her life in general but also she wasn’t just a damsel in distress she took action and kept on going.
This has a small undercurrent of a budding attraction but the main story is the murder and I liked the break from reality this gave me.

I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read. Kayla is intelligent, independent, strong, and stubborn. The story is well-written and creative. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters that are introduced in the book. The author does a great job in writing a detailed story. There are times that I felt like I was right there with the characters. It is a book I would highly recommend.

This is a great story! This is the second book in the series. It is just as thoroughly enjoyable as the first one. The story starts off pretty basic as far as PI work goes but something changes and it becomes everyone’s nightmare. The characters are full of life and charisma. We have quite a few new characters to enjoy as well as the old favorites (Mike, Johnny and Katie). I will mention that Eric is my most favorite new character in this story and I hope we haven’t seen the last of him.

This author has gone and surprised me with this thrilling story. I love reading about Johnny and his adventures. I never know what is going to happen next and that keeps me reading. This is a great series and I can’t wait to see what sort of trouble adopts Johnny In the next book.

Toxic Blonde: A Johnny Delarosa Thriller (The Delarosa Series Book 2) by David Stever is full of mystery and action, suspense and secrets. David takes us on a trip into a world where Russian spies, lies and deceit show how fickle some men can be. Espionage and a brutal femme fatale lead the gang on a wild chase where she is one step ahead. I enjoy the way David tells a story that is easy to lose yourself in. Just when you think you have it all worked out you are suddenly thrown off in another direction. I also love the humour that is woven in.

Delarosa is a PI and once again hired to investigate an unfaithful spouse but it is anything, but a normal case and his chestnuts are in danger of being lost.

You need to read these fab books in order to fully appreciate these wonderful characters.

Diamonds & Deception (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 3) by Ellen Butler is another great tale in this wonderful and addictive series. I love Karina Cardinal and the Silverthorne team. This thrilling mystery keeps you on your toes and the plot is sensational as Ellen carefully weaves all the threads to one explosive story. I also love the way that Ellen comes up with different themes for each story. There is action and romance, lies and deceit, friendship and family. Stolen jewels and mistaken identity lead to kidnapping and drug cartels, human trafficking and suspense.

Karina doesn’t even have to try, and danger comes calling but this time there is more at stake.

I tell you this series should be made into a movie or a tv series. It is entertaining, enthralling and engrossing and I eagerly await the next in the series.

As with all books I have read by this author the moment I started reading this book I found myself lost within it.

I could easily see their interactions and found them all to be enjoyable.
The story was easy going and well written. It is the perfect lazy afternoon type book. The author does a great job a painting the picture of what is happening. This series has been entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable so far, I can’t wait to see what else is to come.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Matt’s Swirly World by Madeleine Matthews is the perfect portrayal of the stages kids go through and how, as a parent, understanding these stages better equips you to deal with them.
I was unsure at first as to whether or not I should try this book. My little one is younger than the recommended age for children but as a parent I was drawn to the teachings it alluded to. So, slightly dubious, I decided I would give it a try.
My initial thoughts were that my little one definitely would not understand this, and actually even by the age of 3 I would still question if their level of understanding would be developed enough. For me it is perfect for kids of school age, who are going through a lot emotionally in terms of development.
However, as a parent this book hit every aspect. Although my little one might not understand it, I can still see how she is going through these emotions. It helped to conceptualise what she might be going through and brought me a whole new level of understanding on how to deal with. I am so glad that I gave this book the benefit of the doubt and it is one that I will definitely shelve for later when I know my little one will benefit from us reading it together.

I have never had the pleasure of reading anything by Jamie A. Waters previous to Beneath the Fallen City. I really just loved the cover and the blurb was just enough divulging that I really wanted to know what the whole story was. Beneath the Fallen City is the first of The Omni Towers Series. I felt like there is something for everyone with this book. You have the dystopian world that is post-apocalyptic. Of course there is the action and adventure that seems to accompany the genre but I like the drama and character stories. They add a flare that I feel lacks in a lot of the dystopian novels that I find myself reading. I definitely enjoyed our MC, Kayla. She is a strong voice and a strong woman who takes up the task without hesitation. I loved the world building as well. I felt as if I was in the far off world with Kayla as she scavengers and attempts to keep herself alive and in one piece. I am looking forward to seeing what the next books will bring. In the time I wait I will go and see what else might be available by Jamie A Waters.
