WE Blend (Falling for the Rockstar's Daughter Series #1)WE Blend by Willa Drew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book one of the series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I’m definitely going to read the rest of the series.

Melodie (El) is the daughter of of celebrities. She often is the target of many paparazzi so she’s been sheltered quite a bit by her parents. El just needs to sing. It’s not just a hobby for her. She needs it so she decides to make it happen in a bar of campus while wearing a disguise. Wil is in the U.S for a couple reasons. One of which happens to be to find his sperm donor. Wil happens to be at the same bar and steps in to help El while she’s trying to perform and changes everything for the both of them. However, with both of them keeping secrets, their relationship will be tested.

This was a good book. It was well written and the characters definitely had chemistry. You easily get pulled into the story and are held there! I enjoyed it!

Cooked: The Chef Blows Her LidCooked: The Chef Blows Her Lid by Cari Schaeffer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars


Cooked: The Chef Blows Her Lid is the latest offering by Cari Schaeffer. I loved this fun story- it is full of humour, mayhem, and antics. It’s a story about starting again, of taking a plunge and hoping things work out for the better. Or is that, worse?
Olivia has had the rug pulled out from under her feet, her ‘perfect life’ in tatters after her husband is caught cheating with her best friend- while her work situation pushes her ever closer to the edge. It all results in leaving her emotionally battered and bruised. So, she picks herself up, makes some difficult decisions, and begins to pick up the pieces to start over by investing in herself and her hopes and dreams. But has she taken on too much? Will she succeed, or will her dreams go up in smoke? And most importantly, can she keep it all together without blowing her lid? This is definitely worth the read to find out…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Cari Schaeffer!

More Text Than SexMore Text Than Sex by Jim Shomos
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

“Music never Judges us but it sometimes helps us question.”

 

More Text Than Sex by Jim Shomos proved to be a great introduction to this talented author. The story is a cleverly woven and entertaining tale full of humour, music, emotion, drama, self-discovery/finding where you belong, love, family, banter, romance, and complexity.
Robbie is a hot-shot music manager who’s been tasked with co-collaborating on a song-writing contest. Along with, Annie, who is a single mother on the brink of reigniting her music career. And Cat, who is beginning to lose herself in all the volunteer work she does- draining herself for others, her energy and finances are being bled away and she’s not sure how to stem the flow- she’s in serious need of a lifeline and influx of abundance. These three are thrown together as the story unfolds, bringing about some surprising developments.
The way the characters have been so well-developed with their own individual personalities, quirks, and flaws- and the dynamic between them- really made this story so intriguing- in a connectable, realistic and believable way. The whole music scene/contest added some fascinating elements to the overall plot.
A great read…. Looking forward to exploring more of Mr. Shomos work.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Jim Shomos!

The Veil by Wanda Luthman – Review by Angela Hayes

The VeilThe Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

The Veil by Wanda Luthman is biblical fiction story that explores the tearing of the veil inside the Jewish Tabernacle at the time Jesus died on the cross.
It is a story of faith, spirituality, prayer, and inspirational themes. The story is Christian fiction that explores the meaning behind the tearing of the veil at Jesus’ death and how it represents the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for mankind, by paying for our sins with his death.
The story ‘pushes’ the need for the reader to repent and invite Jesus into their lives.
This book won’t suit everyone- but will definitely hit the right note for those looking for inspiration, or some faith-based reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Borrowed Time is the debut novel by Lane Cohen. It is a time travel fantasy with some sci-fi elements, drama, historical details, adventure, moral decisions, crisp dialogue, and interesting characters- with a bit of a nod to the 1960’s movie ‘The Time Machine”.
What would you do if you could go back in time? Would you change your own history, or try to right some terrible wrongs? Well, that’s what these characters face when they invent a type of time travel, and adapt it to an old movie prop. We follow along on as they travel back in time and get a front row seat to all the intriguing developments. With the way things played out here, I feel there could be room for a sequel, or series? Stay tuned…
Looking forward to seeing what Lane Cohen does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lane Cohen!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

November 9 by Colleen Hoover takes you on a beautiful journey that lasts over several years. It makes you wonder if a love story like that actually exists and it makes you question would you be able to make the sacrifices that they did?

Fallon is a young girl who has suffered a tragedy that makes her question everything about herself. She has lost all self-confidence and I think in some ways has even lost her will to live and it makes you question how you would handle such a tragedy.

Benton seems to be too good to be true with his kindness, his confidence, and his saving the day personality. What you end up learning about him in the end was gut wrenching and you will feel it in your core. The tragedies that he suffers broke my heart and you come to realize just what those tragedies did to him.

This book threw me for a loop when encountered with shocking information. No spoilers but be prepared to have your mouth hanging open and saying to yourself what the heck did I just read.

This author always keeps me captivated and while I am new to her books this third one took me to a whole new level and I cannot wait to appreciate so much more of her work. She is clearly a brilliant and talented author and I was thrilled to know that she does such an extensive amount of charity work. I love reading a good fiction book but I hands-down adore reading a good fiction book from an author who gives back so much.

Will their newfound romance survive when someone is willing to kill again in order to keep secrets buried along with those in the row house disaster?

But now she’s not so sure she wants to return to the mortal realm, especially when the devastatingly handsome fae, Quintus, keeps asking her to stay.

Even worse, defeating the mortals becomes more difficult by the day while their numbers continuously grow. She also learns exactly why they want the land. As a mortal herself, it’s hard to disagree with them. But they can’t take Faerie unless they steal it from the fae.

Alliances blur when Chloe realizes both sides deserve what they seek. But only one of them can win.

1912 New York is a city divided: Greenwich Village where rejected tradition is regularly flouted, and Manhattan where it is strictly upheld. Lottie Flannigan successfully balances both sides. While embracing a bohemian lifestyle, she maintains a legal career clerking for conservative Justice Goff in Midtown. Committed and dedicated, Lotte begins work on a high-profile criminal case involving local Police Officer Charles Becker.

Suddenly her professional and personal lives collide as she finds herself caught in a blackmail scheme that seeks to disclose her most intimate choices if she doesn’t do as they say. Is this related to the Becker Trail? Who stands to gain the most from this verdict: the justice? the prosecutor? the local police officers or lurking gangsters? Maybe even her missing lover–could she be a part of the blackmail scheme? 

In a fascinating look into a scandalous turn of the century trial and ever-changing Greenwich Village social norms, the book puts Lottie in the middle of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker’s Conspiracy trial.

Chevalier (War Horses Book 1) by Scott Warren – Review by Jenni Bishop

War Horses Book 1: ChevalierWar Horses Book 1: Chevalier by Scott Warren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scott Warren’s Chevalier is the first unique book in the War Horses series which promises to be an enjoyable series. It is a military sci fi tale with Mecha soldiers, which I pictured as the ones from movies like Pacific Rim and anime.

It is my first time reading anything by Scott and certainly reading anything in the Mecha genre. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised. I always like to go in blind not reading any blurbs, covers etc as I like to discover tales all on their own and make my own thoughts and this certainly helped with this book.

With intrigue and suspense, action and humour, some politics and war, violence and death, battles and upright giant humanoid robots it will delight those who like a gritty military sci fi and Mecha soldiers.

3.5 Stars

 

Ice Dance by Vik Azeem is an original urban fantasy that swept me up into quite a fun adventure. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I was curious about what the story might hold, so I took a chance and clicked a copy, and set off on this fun adventure.
The story is woven around an unemployed accountant, Hassan, who has come to a bit of a cross-roads in his life. He’s unemployed, about to become homeless, is a little jaded, and feels like his creativity is being stifled. Then, unexpectedly, he meets Yasmine who is like a fresh breath of air to his stagnant life. He becomes entranced by her free-spirited energy. But things aren’t quite what they seem as he is soon to learn. New Year’s Eve turns his world upside down and introduces him to a world he never knew existed outside of storybooks. With magic, different realms, portals, paranormal beings, secrets, danger, drama, friendship, family, banter, action, and dangerous foes- this story really comes to life quite vividly. I loved the sprinkling of humour throughout the storyline as it added an extra element of fun to the whole experience.
The story is well-woven, detailed, and descriptive- with some clever world-building. Vik Azeem has a bit of a lyrical feel to their writing which suits the magical realism of the storyline. I enjoyed the story and look forward to exploring more of this author’s work in the future.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Vik Azeem!

Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence, #2)Stumble & Fall by Amy Rivers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn’t realize this was part of a series, but it read well as a standalone. It was a very intense novel dealing with a heavy topic. There is a TW for rape and sexual assault, so heed that before you start reading. That said, this is a very important topic to read stories about. The details are stunning and you can really feel the anxiety and despair come off the page. The main characters, Kate and Tilly, have been through more than their fair share of trauma and loss, yet are still able to help each other navigate the hard times. I also like that the series tackles abuse from people in positions of power. I know that many victims have a hard time coming forward about abuse and more still are either not believed or not taken seriously. There are perpetrators at all levels and it is good to read a very realistic depiction.

I lived in Cruces when I was younger, so I know a lot of the references to southern New Mexico. I felt like I was there while reading the book, particularly in the details of Kate’s gated haven. It felt a little nostalgic and definitely had some heart racing moments throughout the book. I will be on the lookout for the next book in the series!

Adrianna has been plotting revenge against the Larussio family since she was young as she was under the impression they killed her father. When she is hired as an in house doctor at their new casino in Las Vegas she hopes to find the answers she seeks. Will the answer be what she wants to hear or will she be left with more questions? Salvatore is next in line to be the leader of the Mafia but there are those out there that don’t feel like he deserves it. There is a rat within his ranks and he intends to find out who it is. Things only tend to get complicated when he and Adrianna start dancing around each other trying not to catch feelings. The last thing Salvatore needs is to give his enemies a reason to think he has a weakness. Keeping Adrianna at an arms length is a lot easier said than done though. Will he be at to keep her and his family safe or is she the true enemy he needs to look out for?

They say if you really love someone let them go and if they don’t come back it was never yours but if they do come back it was meant to be. That is exactly what Cole thought about Ava. He thought to play it by her rules and see where this will go because he was not ready and Ava had it with him. The game is to win it or to lose it forever but she was ready to throw in the towel until Cole had a game plan. Love will always find its way back up to the surface.

Breathless in Love (Maverick Billionaires)

Will and Harper are the first couple in this series and I loved them both so much for many different reasons.

Will is a guy who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks but I feel that he never truly fit in with that group of kids. Now he’s grown and he continues to try and make up for things in his youth.

Harper had a lot of responsibility thrown on her at a very young age. She loves her brother Jeremy and will do anything to protect him, including taking Jeremy to meet Will and his car collection.

Jeremy is the star of the parts of the book and each one of the Mavericks made me see a glimpse of what is to come in future books.

Eva Kaminsky does a great job bringing these characters to life. I forgot there was only narrator at times because she did such a great job.

This book leaves you wanting more. I loved the characters, the romance that reels you in and keeps you pinned. I finished it in one sitting and absolutely adored every part of it. The instant attraction between Chad and Kendall, and the anticipation of them being together was perfect.

Chad is this perfect, broody gentleman, who goes for what he wants, even when he swore he wouldn’t, and Kendall is this amazing woman, who will do whatever it takes to get her story. I absolutely loved the character building and the flow of the story. I’m excited to see what else Toni has in store.

Sports romances really seem to scratch that perfect brain itch, and this one hit the spot!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grave Digger Academy II is the second book in the series, and sees Makayla return to the school no one really wants to be at for another year. This series is best enjoyed in order, so do start with the first book! It’s perfect for YA and teen readers who enjoy the magic school trope.
In this book, Makayla and her classmates have to dig deep for whatever enthusiasm and affection they can summon for their school in order to succeed in the Inter-Academy Games. They had all hoped that by the start of their second year they would have transferred to pretty much any other school and now they have to prove themselves against the students who got into those schools in the first place.
This is an exiting continuation of the series! Makayla has a lot to learn, and there are plenty of mysteries to unravel. Makayla is still coming to terms with what she’s learnt about her family history, and trying to get more information to help her understand this past and how it impacts her.
It was good to see some more of Makayla’s brothers in this book! Caz and Tye are interesting characters, and it’s fun to get more family moments.
This book gets five stars from me. It’s an enjoyable series, I’d definitely recommend it!

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume TwoMafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trey is a surgeon and in the mafia. Naturally, he’s the guy for the job when Hailey gets abducted. As they twist and turn through a botched abduction turned vengeance scheme they must decide how much they’re willing to risk for each other.

Collateral Damage was a great continuation of the La Rosa family series. Less action than others, but great character development. It’s easy to fall in love with Trey. He may be bad bay mafia, but he’s a good guy at the core. Hailey needs something to go right in her life. Now is their time to shine.
In the final book of the Mafia Elite series Amy McKinley nailed it again. There is only one brother left, Nico, and he’s too guarded to let love in. He’s perfectly content on his own. ‘Trust no one’ is the mafia mentality, after all. One night he is propositioned, and his life is forever changed. Mia may be the one person to change his stance. Mia and Nico will try to have their worlds meet, but catastrophic collision is equally possible when changing anything with mafia families.

Nico and Mia’s adventure is a page-turner. The characters continue to build from previous books and the story is just as exciting. Rivals is the perfect ending to the Mafia Elite series despite being sad that the series is complete.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Fighting Chance is a captivating MMA contemporary romance tale. I really enjoyed this book and push and pull. It is a short story but it packs a punch. The chemistry is undeniable between the characters that you will fall in love with them.

This is the story about Kendall and Chad. Chad is a champion fighter and much sought after by all and not even one relentless reporter can change his mind, or can she?

Kendall is after the next big story and one champion MMA fighter is just that but nothing, she does will change his mind, or will he?
