Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection #3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Karen Pearman

Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection, #3)Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series by this author I have read and let me just say…WOW! What a wave of emotions I am feeling. What a catharsis I just experienced. Since I had already read the previous two books in the series I had an idea of what I would be getting, but I had to put this book down many more times to get out the tissues and ugly cry. She can bring such detail into her books that you literally get the feeling you are the main character. And she does not disappoint in bring these stories to life. As with the previous two books I was hooked from the first chapter of the book, and I was sad when it ended because I wanted it to continue. Unfortunately, that’s the sad part about books. They grab hold of you and then leave you wanting more. This was no different. I will advise that while this could be read as a stand alone book I do feel that it would be best for the reader to read them in order. I think that will give you a better meaning and understanding of her stories. I highly recommend this book and this series, especially if you feel the need to free all your emotions.

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas Book 4) by Marianne Rice – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas, #4)Snowflakes & Stockings by Marianne Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a sweet and beautiful story, that was a wonderful read for myself. I had read other works in this series, and this one brings on that sweet bliss as the others do. I found this story as beautiful as the season’s first snowfall, full of life and a lot of love. It brought the smiles that I enjoy always from this series.

Personally, I found this story in itself, very much one that I think many people can relate to. You can strike it big for something in your career or what if life throws a card at you where you can find everything your heart desires, which path would you choose and would it be the right one? I loved Sawyer and Liberty. They were two characters lives that entwined through out the novel, with dare I say, many unexpected moments, as well as things that may put a halt in a certain news writer’s plans?

The story was so easy to follow, and brought on the sweetness you would want around the holidays and would expect from this amazing author. I loved the story line and especially the conclusion where Liberty gets the scoop for her story she had been hunting so much for! Everything comes together very nicely by the end, and I was pleasantly happy to finish the book and very much enjoyed the story with heart!

Wonderful series, and this one for me, surpassed the others I had the pleasure to read. I loved the flow and the characters and how they were written. Just what I needed to read to get me started up for the beginning of the holidays. Wonderful and sweet read. I defiantly recommend this book/author for sure!

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After Book 2) by Stephanie Harrell – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After, #2)Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The feels of this book were so real, I can not merely put into words! I loved the concept of the story of how two lives over something that was never expected come together, and bring on more than both characters ever thought could happen. The writing was perfectly done and the story flowed nicely!

For me, I loved the realism behind the story. Two people meet over a random occurrence, sparks fly and that chemistry for sure! A passionate weekend and the whole it was nice to meet you concept. Life though sometimes sets destiny up when you at least expect it. Lincoln and Harper had a fun weekend together that at that point I think they would reflect on as a good time, but as reading went on Harper got a gift that would not be something of “junk” she loves to collect and turn into treasure. A whirl wind later, her and Lincoln meet again, and yes she was very much with child! Unexpected news for sure!

I loved reading on and reading how these two characters learned to embrace the pregnancy. They both had different dreams and wanted only to achieve them, but maybe life gave them a new dream something that could he a perfect fit for them, if they only allowed it to be and realized all they had right in front of them as well as growing in Harper’s belly day by day? I loved the romance behind this, and how real their relationship was, as I say, Rome was not built in a day! This story was a wonderful good feel read!

As said, this book was a good read for me, and I for sure want to read more of the wonderful works by this amazing author. It was a fun read, and brought on a lot of feels for me. I loved the drama sequences as well, as both characters lives were shaken from this! Its a good read, and I highly recommend it!

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Shelly Kittell

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of Enzo and Sofia. What an action-packed story! I can’t give away any of the story. You MUST READ THIS book. Starting from the beginning,, you are pulled into it by the memories of the childhood they went through and then through the trials and challenges they have when Ivan comes into town. Man, these two have been through so much together. If you read BLOOD OATH (book 1), Max and Lil will pay a visit. Enzo and Sofia have go through so much and they did a blood oath when they were younger. This is a true power couple. This is one of my favorite authors because she writes all her main characters so strong and capable. The writing is so well-developed. The action never fails to suck you in and hold you captive until the end. Give this series a shot. This is the second book and it is so worth reading. Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay, I’m going to say it. I felt like I was reading a Hallmark Christmas Movie. Now, as a fan of said movies, I loved this book. Funny, witty, charming, romantic and the chemistry as the relationship grew was so delightful that you felt like you might be watching some small town friends match up. I loved the fact that he was enthralled by her large family. The way he grew up made him kind of sad because his Dad just wasn’t there. As for the story she is writing, so absolutely inspirational and totally devoted, that it gives you all the feels. This is a romantic story with a definite Christmas feel. It’s perfect to start the upcoming holiday season with. A warm blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and this book. You couldn’t ask for more, except snow. Again, this is a really good romance that you should read. I highly recommend.

Red’s Peril Part 1: The making of an MC Prez (Satan’s Devils MC Vegas Chapter) by Manda Mellett

Wow Just Wow! This author never ceases to amaze me with her attention to detail and her characters are relatable and fully developed. I’ve been a huge fan since her first book and each new” Chapter”(MC Chapter)is just as good as the previous. I’ve been waiting quite some time for Red’s story and holy cow what a ride so far. My emotions were all over the place with this one. As with any of her books once you start reading you won’t want to put it down. If you haven’t already started her Satan’s Devil’s MC run now you won’t be disappointed but rather addicted like the rest of us. Red wants to fit in and feel wanted. He takes on a journey to him climbing the ladder to the top but once he gets there something is still missing. Will that be enough? Will he get the family he so desperately wants? I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait for the second book to see how things really end.

What an adorable Christmas time story! The characters are charming and made me smile. Liberty and Sawyer are such a cute couple trying to get together. I enjoyed Sawyer and his story plus there was Adam! What a treat!

Liberty’s family just made me smile all the dang time! They really elevated the story and I loved how they make everyone feel like family. I wish they were my family or maybe I could join theirs.

This is a story that js well written and easily drew me into their lives. The author did a good job keeping me in suspense about Liberty’s quest. I will keep an eye out for more from her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Snowflakes & Stockings (A Wilton Hills Christmas Book 4) by Marianne Rice is another wonderful romance from this author. The characters are well written, and I fell in love with them. Marianne puts life into her characters. It is an enjoyable and feelgood snowy Christmas story. This story has all the feels and is a nice escape from the real world and has you believing in Christmas magic. A sweet, small town, a secret Santa, and a reporter on the up and up and an owner of a big tech firm who doesn’t celebrate Christmas. There is a little drama, a few tears, a few laughs, and a few sighs plus a few aaaaaaaaahhhhh moments that warmed my heart.
Liberty Johnson is determined to find out who the mystery Santa is because the promotion is hers. Along the way she finds out all is not as it seems.
Sawyer Campbell is not who he appears to be but not everyone gets to see that. No, he is so much more but can even he see that.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After Book 2) by Stephanie Harrell is a contemporary romance story. It can be read as a standalone, but I always say start a series from the beginning. This sexy little tale is one of those stories that melts you. I loved the characters and often found myself laughing. But it also had lots of moments when I was like “Swoon”. The chemistry is off the charts. With everything seemingly against them will these two finally get their act together.
One hot, sexy, and sizzling weekend leaves her with a little surprise and certainly more than she bargained for.
He is a hotshot actor but not everything you hear is the truth. I take its toll so one hot and sizzling weekend with a fantasy is just what the doctor ordered. BUT little does he know his life is about to change. Forever.
You need to get your hands on Stephanie’s books and start today.

Spinning tales of subtle magic with unexpected twists, Byrd writes the book you need, not the one you expected.

As one reviewer wrote: “When I get a Byrd story, I know I’m in good hands.”

Whether it is a Doppelgänger who was once a medieval knight now working in college administration, or an updated Red Riding Hood escaping a post-WWI wolf pack, her characters all feel real.

That Celtic goddess at the pet store? She’s someone you know. A medieval queen fleeing an abusive marriage? You experience her pain and triumph.

After graduating from college with a B.A. degree in journalism, Byrd worked as a newspaper reporter, covering news, schools, and lifestyle for both weeklies and dailies. She was the first journalist to serve as director of The Forest Heritage Center in Beavers Bend State Park, Oklahoma.

Her hobbies include reading, nature hikes, and traveling when she has the money. She seldom has the money. Her husband reads all of her books, while her two adult children never do! Byrd has cats, which makes her a legit author.

Oh my sweet romance! I fell in love with this book from the start. I read it in one sitting it was so good! Liberty and Sawyer are such great characters and I adore their compassion. I love how the conversations flow so well in this book. From the family get togethers to the intimate conversations it’s as if the author experienced them herself. I didn’t even realize this was book 4 in a series and will definitely be reading all of the others! I’m a huge fan of Christmas romances and this one did not disappoint!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Manda Mellett and the Satans Devils MC novels rarely disappoint. Every book in this series reads as a stand-alone, due to the clear details written, but also bring you right back into the MC family with each new book. We heard about Red briefly in other books, but his history was a mystery until now. I loved reading about his journey through growing up too soon in a small northeastern town to becoming the MC Prez of the Vegas chapter. What a wild ride! I would have preferred this to have been a single part book, but that’s only because I can’t wait to read more about how things turn out for Red. Anxiously awaiting part 2!

I love Rockstar romance and I love friends to lovers! Together they are the making for an amazing storyline. Victoria Zak definitely captured all of that in this book. This is my first read by her and it was one that I definitely enjoyed. Watching Joe and Mel break down those barriers and come to the realization that they can be so much more made for an awesome story.
Joe had been in love with Melody for the longest time and their friendship was everything. He had a life he loved doing what he loved but he needed the women he loved by his side. Melody being the daughter of a Rockstar saw all the good and bad first hand and was not keen on the lifestyle and the toxicity it could bring. Together they both needed to take the plunge together to get their HEA, and their story is full of obstacles for them both to get there.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Snowflakes and Stockings is the fourth book in the Wilton Hills Christmas series by Marianne Rice. I love all things Christmas- especially Christmas/holiday romances, so when this popped up as a recommendation I was only too happy to grab a copy and dive in. This isn’t my first read by Ms. Rice, so I knew this would be good right from the get-go. Snowflakes & Stockings definitely has all the ingredients needed to make it a captivating story-
Well-developed and interesting characters – Check
An intriguing story that pulled me in – Check
Sizzling chemistry and steamy encounters – Check
Christmas themes and holiday trimmings – Check

Liberty Johnson is the local news reporter up for a promotion if she can get the scoop on the Secret Santa. She dives into her investigation and come up with a list of possible candidates. Sawyer Campbell is on that list, but she doesn’t think he has the personality to pull it off…. but soon she will need to choose between her heart and her promotion. What happens here makes for quite an entertaining read.
If you love fun Christmas stories with romance and sizzle, then this is definitely the book for you!

Thank you, Marianne Rice!

This is the third book in the Soul Connection series. Nikki Lynn Barrett has done an incredible job telling these stories and I was thrilled to find out there are even more coming. If you haven’t read the first two books, I would recommend doing so. There is so much back story to be told.
I love paranormal books, and to be in a world that people help ghosts cross over is utterly wonderful for me. Scott and Zelda are introduced in book one, and this book continues their story. Ghosts, secrets, and a bucket of emotions are packed into this story. Have your box of Kleenex ready as you enter their world.

This book was amazing! I always enjoy reading teen and young adult books just as a way to destress and because I’m a sucker for a fantasy story. I adored the way the point of view alternated back and forth, and the connections between the two main characters that were multi-level. The way the characters were so unique made me just need to know how they were going to succeed at their goal! I really can’t wait to see what comes next! Also, Zoe’s tattoos and the differences between her and Nix in the way they grew up are really present and still beautiful. It makes so much sense in the way they approach each other and the world in general.

Author: Marianne Rice
FIVE STARS
Ok so I have fallen in love with this series. I found them quite by accident and binge read them ALL in just a week. Quick reads and oh so much fun. The Johnson family is amazing and I love them all. Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone, however you will NOT be disappointed if you read them all in order. Each book builds on the last, but like I said, you can read just one. If you do read book 4 before any other the others, you will get details about the other characters from previous books.
With that all being said. Liberty and Sawyer, CHEMISTRY from the onset. It was a fantastic story and oh my, I didn’t want it to end!

This is a great read for middle school age children or to read to younger children. Kids will get lost in the story and learn about biology and ecology along the way. I love that the author included diagrams, a glossary and an appendix so that kids can expand on what they read in the book. I can see this book creating future marine biologists. I think the majority of children will enjoy this story.

No Way Out (Mafia Elite, #1)No Way Out by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author has done it once again. I love how each book I’ve read by her not only gets better but she does a great job of balancing just the right amount of action, suspense, and romance. No way out is the first book in the mafia elite series and is focused on Max and Liliana. The circumstances that bring them together are not ideal in any way but told through each POV you’re able to grasp how each one feels. I love that the author does a great job of giving each character a tragedy that motivates their part of the story. You can tell that each character including the sub characters are a little broken but the journey to the end is well worth all that makes you feel distraught. Max is what I like to call a man’s man meaning he’s tough, he is strong, and I view him as the kind of man you could just feel safe in his arms. Liliana is a strong female character who is very no nonsense. She knows what she wants and is willing to do whatever it takes even if it means her own peril. This author does not tell a story with a ton of fluff or extra unneeded hoopla which makes it 100 times easier to get into the story and the characters which I greatly appreciate. If you enjoy a good romantic suspense book, then you will want to pick this up immediately. The characters are strong, the action is immense, and you will immediately feel as if you’ve been transported into the story. I’m looking forward to book 2 in this series.
