Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling (Stone and Cinder Book 1)Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this book was absolutely amazing and I just could not put it down, so instead of trying to put it down I sat there and binged it in one sitting! This story was so interesting and not at all what I expected in a Cinderella retelling because it blew my expectations away. The three main characters in this book are Ashling, Prince Callum and his amazing husband, and I absolutely loved these characters. They were written so well! The world this retelling is told in however is much more than meets the eye and with fantastic world building you are thrown into a world where dark magic is what took her father from her and threatens to destroy everything good before the clock strikes midnight. I can not recommend this book enough! Definitely a must read!

Home to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #1)Home to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting over is just what the heart needs sometimes. Ryan comes to Bunya Junction for what he thinks will just be a quick stop on his journey through life. Once he realizes he’ll need to stay a little longer, he still has one foot out the door. He can’t help being drawn to Sindy though, even after all the years that passed since they last laid eyes on each other. There’s such a strong undeniable chemistry between the two of them and even though they’re both deeply scarred they gravitate to each other. I really enjoyed watching the two of them come to the realization that what they both least wanted just might be what they need more than anything in the world. This is a sweet romance that really left me smiling at the end. I’m really looking forward to reading the next books in this series.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this volume of the Notebook Mysteries we follow Emma once again, who is an 18-year-old graduate of business school and an entrepreneur. Emma is persistent, self-sufficient, vivacious, and wants to make lasting change. The case she takes on is much more perilous than the other ones as she is battered and warned away.

Emma Evans is a real Sherlock Holmes, using wit, keen observation skills and a vast amount of cleverness to solve injustices. She carries around a notebook with her at all times in order to set down all her perceptions of the things she takes the time to notice. This helps her do what she desires the most … solving crimes.

I thought the recipes were a wonderful addition and I feel I will truly enjoy making some of them. However I will say this you need to read the first book 1st, because a more detailed character description and a deeper background will give you a better understanding of Emma and everything else going on.

The characters were intricately flesh out and very detailed. I particularly like the historical details during that era that show Emma’s endorsement for women’s rights. Including stepping out of the box society forced her into and fighting for equal pay and equal opportunity for women in the work place. This novel is also socially conscious in that Emma helps women who are abused a fair bit.

If you are looking for a delightful, fun, read with many dramatic escapades all packed into a novel, with historical details look no further. This tale has a very Nancy Drew essence and will entertain the older and younger generations.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whew, I’m blown away! That cover drew me in, not going to lie. Don’t judge a book by its cover usually, but with this one – sure. Expertly written, I could not put it down. The atmosphere at the cottage, when the dream stuff is coming thru the barrier – I felt like I was there. I’m a sucker for great atmosphere, and Morrow knows how to create it. I love how the romance is represented in this book where they fall in love with the soul instead of pretty face. It came across as real and deep. This book is based on fairy tale of Cinderella, but def for an eighteen and older. I love the symbols in this book as well. I’m looking forward to the next story!!

The Boss Prince (It’s Raining Royals) by Alix Nichols – Review by Alexandria Richard

The Boss Prince (It's Raining Royals, #1)The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A cute royal, secret identity, semi-mystery, romance

This story has so many romance tropes in it, yet they all come together well to give an engaging romance novel, the first in a series. Kudos to Alix Nichols. A fairly quick and well paced read.

Boss Prince certainly gave an interesting take on the idea of a royal family. There’s a secret country and within the royal family is an “oracle” who tasked Prince Max with finding a woman who is “the key to the key,” whom will help lead the royal family to keeping their country safe, and hidden.

Once Max and Lucie are together their chemistry and attraction explode, despite them both knowing they should stay sway from the other, romantically at least.

Story ends well and sets up the next book with the continuation of trying to fulfill the prophecy and save their country from ruin.

I loved Lucie’s Aunt and Uncle. Their characters brought a bit of levity to the middle of the book and allowed us and Max to see a bit of background into who Lucie was outside of helping at her mom’s classic fan boutique.

I’m not really a fan of most of Max’s family as characters but I enjoyed how they helped the story move along and appreciate them for what they brought to the table.

Fool Me Twice by Glede Browne Kabongo is a suspenseful thriller. There are secrets everywhere.
Overall it was a good story. I really did enjoy it! But I did notice that when changing POV’s it was first person for Shelby, but third person for the rest of the characters. I’m not sure I liked that, but maybe it’s just a personal preference.
Shelby is a leading scientist in the field of bioinformatics, she is also a wife and mother of 2… but she has some major secrets that she is keeping from everyone. She gets pulled over for a busted taillight and her life turns upside down. She is arrested for the murder of her physical therapist.
There is someone out there trying to frame her for murder and destroy the life she has built. Can she stop it before it’s too late?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wild Desire was a good read. This is the first book out of this series I’ve read before. I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect when I picked this book up besides some romance and paranormal shifters. I was not expecting the steam! This book was probably about 70% steam and spicy content. This book had a great storyline, but I feel like it could have been executed better. There was a ton of chances to throw some suspense in there and more action and excitement and it was kind of just skipped over for more sex scenes. I enjoyed reading this book it just didn’t hold my interest like I really wanted it to. I hope the next books in this series gets better! This has potential to be an amazing series!

The Bow (Her Three Immortals, #3) by Hazel Storm

4 out of 5 stars

This book continues from where we left off at the end of Book #2- so if you haven’t read ‘The God’ yet, I highly recommend that you do so before starting on this story

The Bow is the 3rd book in her three immortals and this is a series that should absolutely be read in order, as each book leads into the next. I have enjoyed all three book and the author just makes me want to read more of her work. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, you won’t want to put it down.

Vanessa has won the heart of God of the Underworld. But has won the wrath of the queen of the underworld. Now she has been assigned a task by the Queen of the Underworld- with her very soul at stake if she fails. The assignment sounds simple- but things definitely do not go according to plan- and Vanessa finds herself a prisoner in the Upperworld. So, how is she meant to complete her task if she can’t find a way to escape?

I would love to right more but I don’t want to give away any secrets. I cant wait to read the fourth installment in this series.

Wow! I’m a sucker for re-imagined classics, especially when they’re on the darker side. This has to be my favorite retelling of a Disney type story. This book is kind of genre bending, so it should appeal to many different readers. It is gripping and well written. Pair that with being on the shorter side, and I can bet you’ll finish this book in one night. I definitely did!

So I picked up this randomly as a new read. I read it was a remake of Cinderella bit missed the bit about it being “dark” and lgbtq friendly. I thought I misread when the story mentioned the prince’s husband. I thought it was a misprint. Then I got to the first steam scene! It was very intense and but yet so passionate. I could see the love the prince and his hubby had for each other. THIS book with NOT disappoint!

Kiss Me Before Flight by Thia Finn

No person should ever have to deal with the horrible treatment that Callie did.  What she endured over the years of her marriage were a true nightmare and Ms. Finn did an amazing job in describing her pain, suffering, feelings both good and bad and showing how difficult living in and then deciding to leave that situation is.  It’s so easy from this side of the fence to make decisions and pass judgment for her not leaving sooner.

Conrad is a man like no other, especially as far as Callie is concerned.   He would do anything to keep her safe and he showed her that as well as let her heal physically as well as emotionally.

I felt the despair, desperation and fear that Callie must have felt along with her roller-coaster emotions.

I throughly enjoyed this book even with the sensitive subject matter.  I thought it was well thought out and written and will be looking for more books by her in the future.

I just finished reading Entwined and although it wasn’t your average romance. It was a really good read. I really enjoyed how it was a retelling of Cinderella but for adults. It was different and that’s what I like about it the most. Ashling is the Cinderella and Callum is the Prince Charming and Teague is the husband to the prince. Ashling goes to the ball in order to warn people about the creatures and didn’t plan on catching the eye of the prince. I look forward to reading the Ensnared and seeing what happens with Ashling and the guys.

This book was absolutely phenomenal! I started reading it with anticipation at this story from the start, and it did not ever disappoint! This princess being taken captive is certainly a surprise due to her demeanor. The story itself made me long for the content included in the remainder of the series. I must admit that I will wait in great anticipation until the next book arrives! I am interested to see how her family plays out their life events at the loss of their princess, and hope they react to her capture. I am also of course anxious to know the actions of her original captors! I’m on edge until the next story!!! I literally did not want to put this amazing book down! Every chapter held my heart in knots!

I just loved this different aspect of “Cinderella” story that is a MMF Fantasy Romance. This book had me hooked from the first page and to the end!! AHHHHHH!!!! I definitely need more and cannot wait until book 2.

The retelling of this story of a beautiful ball in honor of Prince Callum and the Duke Teague for their wedding anniversary. This is where Prince Callum is also hoping to find a woman to bear children so his family can continue the bloodline. This is where the Prince meets Ashling aka Cinderella. She is there at the castle on a different mission, but the stars align and a kiss shared.

Will Prince Callum and Duke Teague find Ashling after she leaves the castle and then ends up running away from her abusive and evil step mother? There is so much I can share about this book but do not want to give anything away. This book is truly fantastic and surprised me in so many good ways. Loved this book!!

A.L. Morrow brings a whole new twist to Cinderella in this reimagined version of the fairytale. The love story begins with two princes. The need of a blood heir leads to them adding a princess to their dynamic. Ashling is essentially a maid to her step mother and step sisters. Her father walked into the woods with the monsters after a lifetime of being driven crazy by the nightmares. The princes are hot, handsome and completely in love with each other. Ashling dreams of love while battling the monsters in reality. The characters draw you in and hold you until the very end. I devoured this novel and I am so excited for the next one! LGBT 18+

The characters were masterfully created and made me wish I could be like them. This book brought me back to reading the Animorphs series as a kid and I loved the nostalgia it induced while still being something new. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds! I also really enjoyed the fact that I was able to learn something new, because I live by the motto of, “you learn something new every day,” and this book made that easy for me.

Silent Gavel (Crawford Mystery #1)Silent Gavel by Merissa Racine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my 1st book I’ve read by Merissa Racine, and once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down. Silent Gavel has every bit of suspense, mystery, murder, and some humor all mixed up together. For me it started off slow but as I said previously, once I really got into it I want to know more. I was trying to come to my own conclusions on how it would end. I may have guessed wrong in the end but it still made for some entertainment for me.
Lauren, court reporter, went to pick up her boss Judge Murphy to head to a case outside of town. Little did she know she would make the gruesome discovery that her boss had been slain. An investigation led by Detective Overstreet puts Lauren on the roller coaster of uncertainty in her life.
Merissa Racine has a gift of keeping her reader hooked and wanting to know more. To make a game of being the investigator yourself trying to solve the mystery. I look forward to reading other books by this author in the future.

This version has a fierce and determined heroine! All it needed was to be longer!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is such a wonderful and informative children’s book. I read it within a day (698 pages on my kindle), but I think it would take my 9 year old about week to read. The author builds on characters and scenery so well throughout the entire book. I can envision the island and all it’s sights around it. I can’t wait to have my daughter read this so we can talk about it and learn more about the animals in the book. The last 50 pages (reading from my kindle app on my phone so this could be different depending on how you are reading this) are a glossary and an appendix that is filled with so much information on the animals, plants, and other ocean information talked about throughout the book. You get all your facts, but you also get a little magic and adventure in this book at the same time. Will Cherish and her family of whales survive the virus and all the dangers around them? Will the Dolphin Riders be able to help those with symptoms?! I would recommend this book to dolphin lovers (of any age!); children doing any marine studies/book reports on dolphins, sharks, whales, or the morbillivirus; and just children who love animals and the ocean. I can’t wait until a second book comes out, so I can see how the adventure continues for the group of dolphins and their pals.

Her descriptions of things, like the ball when Ashling and the prince were looking out at the party, has a whimsy and magic to it that kept me intrigued. What was shocking you may ask? The dynamic with Callum and Teague, and the reasoning for the ball. It was a Cinderella-esque story with so much more… spice. I loved it! The only negative is now I have to wait for more!

This book was a great read, quick and easy but full of all the right stuff. I didn’t realize there would be an erotica side to it, so that took me (pleasantly) by surprise. This is definitely not your childhood Cinderella story. The characters were well written and likeable and made you root for the heroes and truly hate the villains. The story follows a young Cinderella-like woman named Ashling who goes to a ball to warn the prince of impending danger and ends up leaving behind a shoe. Although it follows some of the plot of the original Cinderella story, this is anything but typical and has a lot to offer. The fantastic way the world is described and the idea behind the villains and how they seem to live and attack was exceptional. I really enjoyed this book and that’s why I gave it 5/5 stars. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next and how the plot and characters develop. Although the bones of the story follow the original fairy tale, I’m certain this author will make it as exciting as it would be if you were reading it all the first time. I really enjoyed this book and it only took me a couple days to read. Short, sweet and entertaining. What more can you ask for?

The Book of Carraig (The Cross of Ciaran #2)The Book of Carraig by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This second book in the Cross of Ciaran series does not disappoint. We are back to the 1960s, following Ciarán as he attempts to piece together the events that occurred at the time of his death. He longs to set Aisling free from her watery grave, and pay his lost love the respect that she deserves. He is also determined to find a way to wake up his brother Aodhán, who languishes in a museum, but appears to be as intact as Ciarán. His hometown bears little resemblance to how it looked in the 5th Century, but he eventually gets his bearings.

I got a little tired of all the deception with his identity, and was eager for him to fess up and admit who he really is. How long can a man covered in tattoos hide them? I wanted to hear more from Caitlin, who seemed to be less heard-from in this Book 2. However, the book was expertly written, just as Book 1, and it was easy to fall back into the story and enjoy Ciarán’s adventures. Definitely worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scarlet Princess threw me back into my childhood and it was glorious. This book is something I would have read when I was a teenager. Actually to this day as well. It was action filled. A fairy tale with a twist.

I absolutely love the way Princess Rowan was written. She reminded me of Merida from Disney’s Brave. She was witty, sarcastic, strong, an outcast but still nothing got her down. Even after thrust into enemy lands, Socaira, with her life on the line, it never slowed her down.

Theodore, who is Rowans keeper while in Socaira, is very uptight as is all of the people from there but Rowan brings a new light to his life. The couple seem to start falling for each other even though they are supposed to hate each other.

One thing I really loved about this book is it was not love at first sight like a lot of fairy tales, the relationship built up as time went on.

Honestly this book is one of my favorites I have read in 2021! Can’t wait for more!
