Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection, #3)Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection Book 3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett, 4 stars.

This is a very heavy, emotional book. In my opinion, it is the darkest one yet in the series. The first half of the book is very sad and emotional. Scott and Zelda really go through so much. Just when you think they can’t go through more, you are surprised yet again when something else happens. This book really questions just how much a person can take. But there is love here and that is the most important. There are many happy things here too.

This story revolves around the people and it is written so well, you feel like part of the extended family. If you want to be taken on an emotional roller coaster where love needs to prevail, this book is for you. Just don’t forget the tissues.

Love's Reverie (The Stardust Duet, #2)Love’s Reverie by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book is a continuation of the first book, where both Philip and Kat are reunited after going back and forth in time. But now the bigger question remains, how and where they are going to spend their future together. Philip decides to take a giant leap and goes in search of his mother’s ring. But his ex-girlfriend appears to cause severe damage to his plans. This is the book of uncertainties and how their love has to face the tests of compromise to be together.

I had loved the first book too, it is a very mature relationship portrayed which requires a great deal of love and understanding between the protagonists as they travel back and forth in time. I loved this book as much as the first one !

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection #3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett is a fantastic installment to the Soul Connection series. Having read the first two books to this series I was thrilled when this one hit my Kindle and immediately dropped everything to read it. Once again Ms. Barrett gives us everything a paranormal romance reader could hope for including romance, ghosts, drama, secrets, and so many emotions that you’ll feel like your on a roller coaster ride. I was super excited that this story continued Scott and Zelda’s story and couldn’t wait to see what happened to their relationship in book three. Once again Ms. Barrett gives us fantastic characters, great word building, and a plot line that will keep you turning the pages until you’ve read the very last word. So of your looking for a good weekend read then I highly recommend Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection #3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett.

Scott and Zelda’s story continues. The ghosts still appear and need help. The secrets begin to come out as secrets tend to do. Can Scott and Zelda make it through this time? Will it be too much? I just can’t seem to get enough of these characters. I was sucked into this story.

Deeply emotional and captivating. Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection Book 3) by Nikki Lynn Barrett hits hard. We pick back up in the lives of Scott and Zelda’s love story, when tragedy strikes again; this time in a deeply personal way.

This book was every bit as good as the previous two and once again I found myself crying, but this one felt even more emotional than the others. Scott and Zelda go through everyone worst nightmare, but their love for one another and the strength of their friendships are on full display in this installment of their story. Barrett does an amazing job creating a connection between the reader and the story and characters; she constantly takes my breath away and this has been a phenomenal series!

Scott sees ghosts whether he wants to or not. Zelda is in the cemetery in a bloody wedding dress when he sees her. They are drawn to each other without explanation. Can he help her recover her memories? Can they figure out what happened? The story is amazing. I sat on the edge of my seat throughout.

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts

This was a great 5 star read. I love Rockstar romance and this one pulled me right

Luke and the band have moved to the UK. He is still working on moving forward from his loss. He ends up hiring a nanny to help with his daughter, Brie.

Nikki is hired for a nanny job. When she meets Luke there is an instant attraction between them. But he never has relationships with employees. Will he make an exception for Brie? What will happen when he learns about her secrets?

Overall this was a great read. My emotions were all over the place. We get emotion, suspense, drama and so much more. The characters were great. And who doesn’t love a bass player from a popular rock band. This can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading from the beginning. I cant wait to read more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection, #3)Snowfall Serenade by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scott and Zelda badly wanted to have another baby, and as soon as their hopes comes true its tragically cut short due to a horrible car accident. The severity of the damage causes Zelda to lose the baby and end up also having a hysterectomy ending her chances for ever having another child. The loss of her unborn child and the loss of her ability to ever have another child devastates Zelda and begins to take a toll on their relationship as a whole. From the ghosts that being to appear for Scott and their young daughter to the mental and emotional factors things become a fighting battle, and question arise can they make it to the other side together. This will be a story you don’t put down until the finish.
Snowfall Serenade was a beautifully written story that was original and heart felt. The moment I began Scott and Zelda’s story I was emotionally invested. It was very easy to connect to them on a personal level and feel as if they were a friend of your own. The story was emotionally gripping, and at times I could not hold back the tears watching them fall apart.

Nikki Lynn Barrett never fails me, last book in the series and it didn’t disappoint. The book continues Scott and Zelda’s story. This is another tearjerker and things just continue to happen. What more can they deal with. The characters and world building that she creates always keeps me intrigued. I will always pick up a book written by Nikki.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection, #2)Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Logan and Angel are intertwined by 1 devastating death, and 1 tragic accident. When Logan’s sister is killed Angel is able to identify the accused. However his anger and grief have taken an immense toll and in Logan’s eyes her lack of intervention and then her length of silence before coming forth makes her just as guilty and puts her as a direct target for his hatred. As she is celebrating her birthday a year later she has an encounter with an angry, drunken Logan and its what causes her tragic accident, and also what becomes the start of her spiritual journey as someone else. As the story unfolds it becomes a journey of life altering experiences that show everything truly happens for a reason.
This is my first read by Ms. Barrett, and it took me by surprise. This paranormal tale was quite original and quite thought provoking. The author takes you on an emotional roller coaster with her unique cast of characters as they try to overcome guilt, grief, addiction, and forgiveness. You will become entangled within their lives in both life and death, and its a very good reminder of the importance of taking those extra moments to slow down.

Snowfall Serenade (Soul Connection Book 3)
By Nikki Lynn Barrett

Wow, this book took me on an emotional roller-coaster. It is my suggestion that you read the first two books in this series before diving into this one for more backstory of the characters and for better enjoyment. Scott and Zelda go through so much in this story. I found myself completely enthralled and invested in their lives. This book is full of action, ghosts, heartache, love and so much more. I cannot say enough good things about this story and this author’s ability to weave an entertaining story that keeps me turning the pages and looking forward to reading her next book.

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

This is an enjoyable and engaging Christmas romance with a real festive feel to it. I was hooked from page one and was kept happily turning the pages by this heartwarming story. Investigative reporter Liberty Johnson has a mystery to solve, to figure out the identity of Maine’s Secret Santa. If Liberty can discover who it is then she is guaranteed a promotion and her own weekly feature on the local news. Having narrowed it down, the last person on her short list is someone who she thinks it can’t possibly be, due to his lack of interest in Christmas, businessman Sawyer Campbell. Liberty is instantly attracted to Sawyer and their chemistry sizzles off the page, and it’s not long until she is juggling both him and work. However, with her promotion within sight and her own weekly feature at risk Liberty has to decide between love or work. This wonderfully written festive read has a lovely storyline, likeable and relatable characters, and plenty of romance all of which made me feel immersed in the story. This book left me feeling in the Christmas spirit, a perfect winter’s read.

Sea Mage (The Nightshade Guild, Book 10) was definitely an interesting read. I love fantasy romance. This is my first time reading a romance about sea creatures. I really liked the fact that Peder and Serena were from different worlds and are different types of sea creatures. Ameria was such a sweet little character. I enjoyed that there was an action/suspense factor in the story. I can’t wait to read the next installment in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book two in the ‘Bobbins Sisters Series’ tells younger sister Leann’s story. Having met Leann Bobbin in book one, which concentrated on older sister Betsy, I was looking forward to her having her own romance. Leann is getting over her recent trauma of having a stalker and has started a new job at the bank. Having recently split up with her boyfriend she’s not looking for love, but when she meets Bartlett Police Officer Leonard Yardley, she’s instantly attracted to him. When a bank robbery takes place, Leann hides and then calls Len for help and this brings the couple closer together. I enjoyed this fairly short romance with added suspense and read it in one sitting. I liked ‘catching up’ with characters from the previous book Betsy and Nash, and it was nice to learn more about Leann. The characters are likeable and relatable and the chemistry between Leann and Len came across in the narrative. This was an enjoyable and engaging quick read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this contemporary romance and the storyline had me happily turning the pages. Injured Marine, Nash is suffering with PTSD and is rebuilding his life having returned home, when he meets shy librarian Betsy Bobbin. Betsy is initially intimidated by the man with the eye patch and an attitude but she’s also attracted to him. Nash has sworn off women and love after his ex-fiancé was disgusted by his scars but he is drawn to Betsy.
Betsy learns more about Nash when he comes to her rescue when a flat tyre leaves her stranded, and she can’t help but feel the chemistry between them. But when he then rescues her younger sister Leann from a bar, Betsy gets scared by how angry Nash gets and the fight he has with the drunk. She wonders if it’s safe to start a relationship with a war veteran with PTSD. Nash is just as wary at putting his heart on the line again but Betsy brings out his protective instincts.
The couple get closer when Betsy turns to Nash to help when her sister has a stalker, but then Leann comes between the pair. This is a heartwarming romance with a hint of suspense and great characters who are realistic and relatable. The chemistry between Nash and Betsy really comes across in the narrative and I liked the sisters relationship as well. I thought the issues surrounding PTSD were dealt with honestly and sensitively and this added to the storyline.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Feather Chelle’s book Stranded was a joy to read. I love reading novels that remind us that other species have feelings and can operate together as family. Stranded told the story of a family that encountered a potential problem and they worked together to solve it and survive. As a reader I could tell that Feather Chelle feels strongly about this topic and I really loved how she took the time to explain everything that helped her readers really enjoy her book and learn at the same time. I enjoyed this book and would definitely read more from Feather Chelle.

I enjoyed this book.  Their intensity was palpable and fierce.  I did feel like I was missing something from the beginning since I didn’t read book 1 or 2 first.  It was a little angsty compared to what I usually read but I enjoyed it.  The haunts of the past really play really deeply into their relationship development. I look forward to reading the next book.

I enjoyed this book a little more than Cade but that could be because I was more connected to it having read part of the series.  I really appreciated seeing how they managed and coped despite the issues they had as well as encountered.  I liked the single parent angle and adored Brielle. This one had me edgy because I wanted to see if they made it work.  Definitely a good bow to tie up the series.

4 Stars!!!!

One of my favorite things if finding an author whom I enjoy and this is definitely one of those. I have read many books by this author and this is the second series I have read by her and I am not disappointed. I like how the characters are realistic and the stories are unique and refreshing. I am always on the edge of my seat wanting to see how things will unfold.

I like how there is always a bit of conflict in the characters life and how things are not predictable. I like how there is not always a direct path to the romance and drama added in. I also do like the underlying story that plays out and brings the characters together. I really find the author grabs the reader and keeps you wanting more. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.

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

This is the 3rd book in the soul connection series. I highly recommend reading the first 2 books in the series as we get introduced to the characters in those books. This is a heartwarming and at times heart-wrenching story. We are back with Zelda and Scott who we met in book 1. This story is very hard and emotional read as it deals with mental illness, loss of a baby and loss of a chance to conceive. All those subjects hit very hard emotionally but the author writes them in a way that is real and also respectful. The author gives you insight into both sides of the story from Zelda’s view and Scott’s and that for me is important as these things don’t just effect the woman that goes through it but also her partner. This is a story about love and heartache.

Their story continues in this book. Their live seems perfect and their love stronger than ever but when the thing they want the most, a baby, gets taken away from them this tears them apart. Almost to the point of no return.

However through it all they start to find their way  back to each other. But the constant spirits that keep coming to Scott for help seriously put a strain on their relationship.
With that strain, guilt on both sides and a surprise from Scott’s past which could blow their whole family apart can Scott and Zelda survive it all or will it all be too much to overcome for Zelda.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had so many twists and turns in it, nothing was quite what I was expecting and I loved every moment of it! I would have loved a bit more worldbuilding at the introduction of the book so that we are able to get a better idea of the hierarchy and people of the realms but the story line does well without.

Talise is a young girl with great abilities but the only permanent escape from the Storm is for her to finish her education and achieve the level of Master Shaper. All goes well until her final year when a new student joins them and his skills rival those of Talise’s.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and full of secrets the entire way through. As soon as you think you have it all figured out, you will be shocked with new information. I look forward to more books by Moody.

Lauren is struggling to survive at the moment, but when the biggest murder case her little town as ever seen she is in the thick of it with her being a court stenographer, but as the trial is going on Lauren is starting to have doubts if the person they have actually committed the murder.

As Lauren starts looking into the case it becomes more apparent that the wrong person is being charged but can she uncover the true murderer or will she be put in more danger as she goes through.

I have not read the first book but found that I had not missed any of the story, possible it would help with a bit more background between Lauren and her ex-husband but it did not distract from the story. I loved the mystery and the twists and turns that the author created within the story which had you guessing and following along with Lauren picking up the clues along the way.

The story was well written and developed and the characters offer a depth to the book which I found interesting and engaging. I can not wait to read the next book in this series and will also like to read the first book.

Ok let’s talk about how much I loved this book. I read this over a few days where work was so hectic, escaping to a fall and winter scene scape where there were giant families that mirror my own was much welcome. I fell in love with both the main characters right away. Liberty being the youngest and how her family acted towards her was spot on, myself being the middle child I totally get it. This book had me warm and fuzzy and ready for the holidays. I had no idea it was a stand alone book that’s part of a series I can’t wait to read the rest of the books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

CC is lost and alone, wanting to change her life she decides to take a journey her father had dreamed about but sadly passed away before he got to take it. So when a opportunity comes along to deliver a Tesla car to Las Vegas she jumps at the chance.

Reese is broken, with a failed marriage behind him and his families responsibilities he is just surviving so when he and his friend are riding the fence line and spot a Tesla in the middle of his fence his anger rises, but when he looks into the car and sees an angel, can she melt his cold, broken heart.

They two of them have there demons but can they overcome them and find love and light in each other.

This is the first book I have read by this author and loved it, it’s not often you get a romance book which is about emotions and feelings but this book touch my heart. CC is lost as she is all alone with no family, losing her father was hard but since that day she has lost her purpose in life until she meet Reese. The story is a slow burn and delves into the both lives and insecurities of both characters which drive the story along.

I loved the secondary characters and the relationships which were established and created within the story. I loved this book and can’t wait to delve back into the world of the Silver Buckle Mine or the The Brockbank’s in the next book in this series.

Unlikely to Fit (A Parker Lake Novel Book 2)Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood a five-star read that will definitely fit in your top reads. This is the second book in the Parker Lake series, you don’t need to have read the first book to know what’s going on but you will want to re-read it if you haven’t before this. It’s that good a read. This story has it all, Brekin Henderson comes into her own in this story, she goes from meek and weak divorcee who people gossiped about when her husband left her, to a woman that you would happily go to CeCe’s with and get a mani-pedi before going to drinks with and eyeing up all the candy. But to be fair you would probably have to deal with Griffin Stephens Mema and her crazy cat obsession, (She’s whom I plan to be in 60 years) to get to the Candy. As she would definitely be trying to keep you away from her grandson.
This book was so funny, I couldn’t put it down. I love Olivia Sherwood’s writing and don’t know how I missed this story until now. I can’t wait to see who we will be finding more about in the next Parker Lake series book. I just know I want me a Griffin of my own to call me his Jelly Bean
