I’ll Find My Way And That’s Okay: Axel’s Story (Axel’s Story Series) by Shermaine Perry-Knights – Review by Megan Kimley

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really cute story about a stuffed animal who gets separated from his boy and the adventures he has to get back to him. Kody wakes up on the airplane being carried but it’s not Axel who’s carrying him! How will Kody get back to Axel?! Perry-Knights does a wonderful job of showing children it’s okay to be scared and go through a gamut of emotions. I loved the creativity of this story and the wonderfully bright illustrations. And it’s always fun to think of what our stuffed animals do when we aren’t around 😉

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book took me by surprise, I was expecting a fast-paced adventure, but it ended up to be a very thought provoking read. The story is indeed about rabbits, one young rabbit, Anastasia, who defies the norms, questioning why rabbits should be prey animals. She gets ousted from her warren, faces a predator, fights back bravely. Then she finds herself in a position she never vied for, a leader who can revolutionize her clan. As I kept reading, there were layers of depth added to the storyline and the characters. I was so glued to it until the end. I would like to read more from this series.

I loved this book! I received this book before the others in the series. I was able to understand the plot without reading the others first. However, I did go back and read them too! I love how they mixed the quirky humor with the sweet romance. It was a nice balance. You will fall in love with the characters!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heaven Only Knows (A Silver Buckle Romance Series Book 3) by Laurie Lewis. This is such a good romance and I really enjoyed the antebellum mansions and New Orleans setting. The writing was so good that I truly felt like I was there. Barrett is a attorney and he is in New Orleans to settle a big case with his clients that just won a case against a Chemical Plant. Barrett is also dealing with his fiance just marrying his best friend and killing all of his future dreams.

The Man Who Dealt in Death (The Colton Fen Series) by Marlena Frank. This is the first book I believe I’ve read by this author but will not be my last. I really enjoyed it. It’s the story of Colten who is a werewolf shifter dressed like a cowboy and he’s been hired by the Agency of Betterment of Supernatural Creatures. He’s ready to start to work but they insist he has a partner and he is totally against that. Rennick is half human, half vampire and after a rough start they begin to work together. They are sent out to investigate a missing persons and along the way they meet Mary. Mary is a very independent lady who decides to join in on the investigation. This book sucked me in and I totally lost track of time while reading. I can’t wait for the next book to read more about these incredible characters!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s Cool To Be Kind by Shermaine Perry-Knights. This is such a great book about just being kind. Kids of all ages can learn from this sweet book. It teaches us that even the small things that you help people with are just as kind as the big things. It teaches kids that take what you are good at and help people with that skill. You can help in all kinds of ways. It is geared at kids 7 to 9 years of age but even my nephew who is younger really enjoyed it. It would make a great book for your upper elementary teachers for their classroom. I loved this book and I am making it a part of our family library.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I started this book, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it. However, it was good. It was a slow burn. It’s a different kind of fantasy romance. It wasn’t smutty, and it only had a little bit of descriptive innuendos. It had great world building and good characters. The character development was interesting since the two main characters developed and grew together. I would recommend this as a quick read (I read it in one day).

Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance (Fall Lake Ballers Book 1)Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow…this book is just…. I couldn’t put it down because of how good it was. I was a bit hesitant since I am not really into football… but I am so glad I gave this book a chance. While there are scenes related to football it focuses mostly on a different plot and it was just so good. I loved watching the love blossom between everyone in this book, including the side characters. This starts as a contract relationship that benefits both parties in a positive way, not in a blackmailing type of way, that slowly turns into something real (after some drama/ angst/ breakup). This is a quick read… but that might also be because I could barely put the book down and only did so when I absolutely had to. This book does not end on a cliffhanger, but it does make me want to read Ares and Liam’s story so badly!

Down By The River by Tricia Gardella – Review by Candice Estes

Down By The RiverDown By The River by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is targeted toward a young audience, and I would definitely recommend it to parents and teachers and even children’s librarians. The illustrations are vibrant and beautiful. As I was moving from page to page, I felt almost like I was near the river, seeing the animals described and drawn. This book is short, making it a perfect bedtime story, or quick read for a squirmy kid. Themes covered within the book are “hard hitting”, such as pollution, yet touched on lightly in a way that won’t confuse young children and may even go unnoticed but be a good jumping off point for further discussion.

This is another book that I sure wish we had had when I was younger. Having grown up as a military kid, this would have helped with transitions. It’s a wonderful story that helps explain transitions and how they go. There are bright illustrations that will hold onto the child’s attention. This is really a neat series of books that helps kids understand a little about being a military family and having to move around a lot. A winner in our house.

Joy does not want to be in River Falls, years of putting distance between her and her home town has been erased in one day. With her mom’s passing she has been called to deal with her mother’s estate but there is one glitch, her mother’s shop, to be able to sell it she has to bring it up to code and that’s were the bane of her life comes into play, Charlie Hunnicutt.

As they start working together and get to see inside each other, sparks start to fly but can Joy invest in the relationship Charlie wants and needs.

This story is a enemies to lovers and is beautiful to read, although part of a series the book can be read as a stand alone story. The story weaves beautifully through the thoughts of Joy reliving some of the horrors of her past but then developing the feelings toward Charlie which she is conflicted with and not sure about.

I loved the character of Charlie and his laid back attitude was a great to counter balance to Joy’s straight forward ADHD mannerisms. The secondary characters also added an extra layer to the story. I can’t wait to read more of this series going forward.

Sanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski – Review by Joanne Ellis

SanctuarySanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski

Sanctuary by Bree M. Lewandowski is a captivating blend of fantasy, romance, and mystery, set in a richly imagined world where tradition, loyalty, and power shape the lives of its inhabitants. The novel centers around Petra Ondise, a determined young woman who, driven by the desire to unravel the mystery behind her brother’s death, embarks on a journey to rise from her position as a lowly maid to a member of the prestigious House of Couriers. This journey is not just one of social ascension, but of discovery, both about her brother’s fate and her own intertwined destiny.

One of the novel’s strongest elements is the world-building. Lewandowski paints the Cloistered City as a place steeped in ancient traditions, where rumors and secrets swirl around the elite and where magic quietly simmers beneath the surface. The Shivalry, towering elite soldiers, add a layer of intrigue, and Rand Tsenturian, the enigmatic Third Shivalry Captain, captures attention as both protector and enigma. His dark red eyes and mysterious connection to Petra’s brother weave tension and allure throughout the narrative.

Petra is a well-drawn protagonist. Her determination to uncover the truth about her brother and her willingness to step into dangerous waters to do so makes her a compelling character. As she navigates the House of Couriers and unravels the deeper connections between her brother and Rand, the tension builds toward the Festival of the Late Harvest Moon, a pivotal moment in the story. The festival itself feels like a turning point where fantasy, history, and personal destinies collide.

The relationship between Petra and Rand is central to the novel’s romantic arc, and their chemistry is undeniable. What begins as a haunting presence of Rand in Petra’s life soon becomes a deeper connection bound by fate, culminating in a revelation that transforms both of their lives. The moment when Rand pulls Petra into the hidden, ancient garden within the emperor’s palace feels like a threshold between worlds—between the known and the mysterious, between duty and destiny.

The themes of sacrifice and the interplay of fate and free will stand out. The novel’s title, Sanctuary, is both literal and symbolic, as the ancient garden where Petra becomes Sacred and Rand her Sacrifice becomes a sanctuary from the rigid expectations of the Cloistered City. This hidden place, full of ancient magic, evokes a sense of timelessness, where the rules of their world no longer hold sway, and where love and destiny can finally intertwine freely.

At its heart, Sanctuary is about the lengths we go to for truth and love. Lewandowski crafts an emotional, atmospheric tale that brings fantasy and romance together in a seamless way. For fans of character-driven stories in richly developed fantasy settings, this novel offers an unforgettable escape. While the plot sometimes leans heavily on familiar tropes within the genre, Lewandowski’s beautiful prose and her deft handling of romance, mystery, and magic make this a standout. The slow-burn romance between Petra and Rand is satisfying, and the conclusion feels earned and deeply resonant.

Overall, Sanctuary is a must-read for those who enjoy a mix of romance and fantasy, with a dash of mystery and intrigue. Lewandowski’s world and characters will linger in readers’ minds long after the final page is turned.

Throughout the book everytime Peyton was mentioned I sighed and rolled my eyes. Custody battles are the worse. They bring out the worst in people and she was no different.
Super glad everything worked out.

Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance (Fall Lake Ballers Book 1)Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author! One of my favorites! Quarterback Keeper gives us a promising start to a brand new series. I always love when A favorite author of mine comes out with a new series. Gives me something to get excited about and something to look forward to! Like the last series I read by this author, football is involved. Which just ticks off another box for me, I’m a sucker for a sports romance. Obviously different characters and setting but the same can’t be put down till you’re finished reading. I love the twists and turns of these books as well as the character dynamics. This new book is no different.
Gia is on the run. Hiding from an abusive ex. When she stows away on a random boat she feels she’s currently in the clear. What she doesn’t realize is that the boat’s owner is going to change her life.
Will it be for the better? Well I guess you will have to jump in to find out.
Kylian is stressed. Dealing with football, class, his mom’s prognosis, on top of his dad trying to force him into a relationship stumbles upon a happy surprise. Deciding to take his boat out one night, not realizing he has a passenger, he’s trying to clear his head. It’s not till he stumbles across Gia that he comes up with a plan. A “you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours” idea. Fake date, fake engagement, and if need be fake marriage. He wants to make his dying mother’s last wish come true, while keeping his dad at bay.
Will Gia agree? Will it actually work?
You know these stories, nothing is ever that simple. There’s always a twist. There’s always drama. And Quarterback Keeper is no different.
Now it’s up to you if you are going to jump in on Gia & Kylian’s adventure. All I can say is if you do, you won’t be disappointed!

The trouble with possibilities by Nancie Abuhaidar, this was an amazing book that starts off with our FMC Delaney or Del for short. Landing in Africa for a non profit teaching program. Here we meet our MMC Ben who is an absolute sweetheart. From here we learn Del is a widow with two kids trying to figure her life out. We follow her journey of clumsiness and determination. She is funny and realistic, she is a wonderful character to follow around. Throughout the book we get to learn about her life and her kids. We also get to watch her try and learn how to love and be loved, it’s a tough journey and definitely worth the read.

The author hit it out of the park with this one..hmm wrong metaphor..she scored the game winning touchdown with this one! Kylian and Gia meet in an unorthodox way, but quickly figure out they can help one another and begin a “fake” relationship to meet one another’s needs….but things aren’t always so simple. Gia’s past and the danger it brings lurks beneath the pages throughout the read and Kylian’s mess of responsibilities add to the complexity.

I’m very familiar with this author and have read previous series from her, so I knew I had to pick this one up and I was not disappointed. The author, as always, put together a page-turning read with excellent characters. She has an effortless writing style that pulls you in as a reader from the first pages and makes you keep going until you’ve devoured the whole story. She has excellent character development, slowly developing and adding complexity to them throughout the story, but giving you everything you want and need as a reader. There is suspense, a bit of heat, and just an overall excellent start to a new series. I’ll be picking up every book as it releases!

Master Slobozia (Masters of the Consulate Book 12) by Sylvia Black – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Master Slobozia (Masters of the Consulate #12)Master Slobozia by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the final book in this intense and action packed, explosive series and I couldn’t wait to finish it to see how it ends. We have followed the Masters of the Consulate as they chase the rogues and find their chosen mates in the midst of the hunt. With Slobozia, he is completely suspicious of the witches, due to the centuries of hate between the two groups. Taylen is hoping to join the Warriors Group and has zero interest in getting involved with Slobozia, but as the hunt continues, they are thrown together in a race to defeat the rogues. The twists and turns that the book takes you on will keep you reading until the last page. While it was amazing to see the series wrap up, its bitter sweet as it’s such an engaging series. Definitely a great series and each book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend starting at book 1 and reading your way through the series to get the full impact.
