The Longest RunThe Longest Run by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Longest Run (Lawson Family Series, Book Four) by Tracey Cramer-Kelly was a really good read! This is a standalone novel. This is the first book in this series I’ve read, and I didn’t feel like I missed anything important or vital from not reading the others first. It was very entertaining and well written. It was very descriptive, I felt like I was right there on the slopes with Carly and Chris the whole time. There’s was also enough steam in this novel to keep the chill of winter away! It did take me a little bit to get hooked in this story. It didn’t grab me at first in the way I thought it would. Overall this book was a very fun and easy read. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 1)Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dance of Hearts by Byrd Nash was a great read! I went into this novel having some idea of what to expect, as it was a retelling of the classic story Cinderella, but it completely blew away my expectations! I definitely wasn’t expecting what I got. And it was such a quick read as well, I finished it before I even realized I was close to finishing it! I wasn’t expecting it to be in a historical setting, and I really enjoyed that. It was very different from the classic tale, but so good! I loved the fairy lore involved in the retelling, and the romance as well. I’m so glad I picked this novel up to read. I can’t wait to read the next retelling!

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye – Review by Rachel Moss

Happily Ever AfterHappily Ever After by Piper Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don’t Worry, I Still Hate You by Marie Skye is the only book I got to read out of the Happily Ever After anthology, by various authors. It was a really good read! And it was hilarious too. I was rolling from laughing so much. The main character Perrie felt so relatable, it was like hearing a tale from your best friend. The only downside to this novel I had however, was that it felt like a continuation of another story. It was hard for me to get completely lost in this, because I felt like I was missing something. It started up like it was a sequel. Again, I’m not sure if it was or not, but of it wasn’t the author could have been more clear on past events to make what is happening easier for the reader to understand. Overall though I really enjoyed this novel! And I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future.

Jordan's Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 2)Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jordan’s Justice (book two in the Tessa and Jordan series) by T. Christensen was a good read. I feel like you should read the first installment to fully grasp what happens, and I haven’t read the first only this one. I got the gist of what happened in the first book however, so it wasn’t that big of a big deal. This book was very well written. My only issue however is with the characters. I didn’t like how Tessa kind of laid down as character, and wouldn’t defend herself. She went with whatever Jordan wanted her to do. Her only redeeming quality in my opinion, was the love for her daughter. She would obviously do anything for Jordis. And Jordan. He made me SO ANGRY in this book! He had tendencies that seemed violent to me, he seemed very controlling and manipulative as well. I didn’t like how he treated the mother of his daughter at all. I feel like he could have been a much better written character. Other than those character flaws, I loved reading this book! I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne is the only story I read in this anthony collection of stories, and it was a great read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this sweet romantic story. It was also a very quick read. I loved the characters and the storyline. The bird, Charlie, was so cool, because he (or she) had so much personality for a bird, it was awesome! I loved the story of the cranes, I learned something new because I had never heard of that legend before, and it is very romantic! I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

Matching Miriam by Mya O’Malley was a great read! I was absolutely enthralled with this novel. I especially loved being thrown back in the world with Naomi again. That was unexpected surprise for me honestly. O’Malley is such a great writer, she’s able to make the whole world come alive when she writes. This novel was packed with love and romance, thrill, mystery and some suspense. It was also completely heartwarming as well. I can’t wait to read more from Mya in the future! Everything I’ve read of hers has not disappointed me yet!

Echoes--(Lucifer and the dark goddess book 1)Echoes– by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Echoes by Nikki Broadwell is the first book in the Lucifer and the Dark Goddess series and it was a great read! I could hardly put this book down once I got into it. It took me several chapters to become enthralled, but once I was I was hooked. It was like a dystopian, Mad Max type of book. Thrilling at points, sad at others, this book really makes you think. It feels like this is how our future could be if some things don’t change, which is very scary. I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait to read the next installment!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unbroken Vow by Bree M. Lewandowski was a really good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it threw me off a bit and wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I was thrilled to read this, after seeing the beautiful cover art and reading the synopsis. I was not expecting a mix of modern and medieval in this story. And the time was never really set well, so events would happen and I could never tell when they were taking place. I enjoyed reading this novel and it was great but it took me a while to actually get into it. I was thrown off and was expecting something better than what I got. I can’t wait to read from this author in the future though!

Isle of Wings by E. A. Burnett was a great read! It was so well written, I was instantly transported to another world. The imagery was amazing, it felt like I was standing right there on the isle with all the characters. It was very enthralling. I was first drawn to this book by the cover. It was just so pretty and colorful to me in a basic way. Then I read the synopsis and it sounded very interesting. I’m so glad I picked up this book! I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

Hell Hath No Fury (Life is Hell #2)Hell Hath No Fury by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hell Hath No Fury by Naomi Valkyrie is the second book in the Life is Hell series and was a great read! This was a great sequel to the first book. I feel like this could be a standalone, but it also does help to read the first. But it doesn’t focus much on Delilah and Malakhi, it focuses mostly on Millicent and Sheridan. It was a very quick and enthralling read. I personally thought the first book was funnier in my opinion, but this one was great as well. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series!

A KISS UNDER A BLUE CHRISTMAS MOON (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock 'N Sweet Romance Book 4)A KISS UNDER A BLUE CHRISTMAS MOON by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Kiss Under a Blue Christmas Moon (book four in the Daydreams & Dragonflies series) by Tamara Ferguson was a great read! It was super sweet, and I read it so fast once I started it. I so easily got swept up in the pages of Mia and Noah’s whirlwind summer romance. This book could be easily read as a standalone novel, but it does help with the recurring characters to read the first ones first. I can’t wait to read those, because I’ve only gotten a chance to read the third and fourth installments in this series so far. Tamara Ferguson never seems to disappoint!

Flipping the Bird (book one in the Shift Creek series) by Carrie Pulkinen was a great read! I was absolutely riveted with this novel. This is the first book I’ve read from Pulkinen before and it makes me wonder why I haven’t picked up any of her books before. The characters were great and full of personality. The book was full of comedy and sarcasm and just awesomeness. I fell in love with the small town setting. This is a shifter novel unlike any I’ve read before and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read more in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn’t get to read all the books in the Irresistible Christmas: Pets to the Rescue box set, I only got the chance to read Two Hearts’ Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson. It was overall a very good read. It was entertaining, and funny, sweet and romantic. I loved the characters and especially the pets. The pets and animals had so much personality I want them as pets of my own! However I feel like more detail could have been added. Everything moved very fast, and it seemed like things happened when there was no clear timeline for them to have happened. But besides that it was a great read for me! Ferguson never disappoints.

I Once Was Lost, But Now I'm Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary RescueI Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I Once Was Lost But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue by Laura Koerber was a really good, emotional read. I typically don’t enjoy non-fiction novels that much, but I really enjoyed this one. I will give a warning to people that don’t enjoy graphic images of neglected animals and stories of abuse. Because some of the stories are graphic and just horrible. But this novel was well written and well researched also. Daisy’s story captivated me from the beginning. Even though it wasn’t Daisy’s story as much as the extermination of OAS itself. Some of the images and descriptions honestly made me feel sick. So go in reading this book that it’s not a light hearted novel. While it does have a happy ending for Daisy and other dogs, unfortunately that isn’t the case for all. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

The Kissing Bough by Madelynne Ellis was a great read! Not only was it super steamy, but it had a great storyline as well. I was instantly enthralled from the first page and didn’t want to put it down. I loved the characters in this novel, even the super rude and judgemental characters. It was a great period erotica story in my opinion, I felt like I was actually in that time period. This is the first novel I’ve read from this author before and I can’t wait to read more in the future!

The Last Christmas by Seelie Kay was a good read. It was very quick, and easy to read as well. It was a very heartfelt novel, full of emotion and some laughter. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. However, while I know this was completely fiction, it felt so unrealistic to me. I also got thrown off a bit from the novel by the sex stuff mentioned. To me, that took away from David’s condition. Other than those two things to me, I loved this novel. It was well written and very fast paced. And I loved the holiday miracle aspect as well. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moonlit Whisper by Amy Mckinley was a really good, quick read! I was instantly engages from the first page, and I enjoyed the fast paced story telling and characters in the novel. My only complaint about the novel however, is the fact that it was a little too fast paced. I wouldn’t have minded some extra details about some of the events that transpired in the novel, and a little more background on past events. She did a great job story telling the past events and the whole story, but to me it would have been much better if it was a little more slowed down. It honestly felt a little rushed. But I really enjoyed reading this story. It was quick, and it had a happy ending. I really enjoying reading books from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! What can I say? Becoming Human by Amy Michelle Carpenter was such a ride of a novel and read. I was entrances from the first chapter and didn’t want to put this story down. There was so much character, and heart, sci-fi and suspense. This has quickly become a favorite read for me. I didn’t think I would like it as much when I first picked it up, but whew did Carpenter change my mind! Ags has to be my favorite character. She’s the most emotional, the one with the most character and heart, and she feels things so exuberantly and deeply, it was like reading through a child’s perspective almost. My only complaint is that there isn’t more! I desperately want a sequel to this novel!

If you’re looking for a short, steamy holiday read, the novella Five-Alarm Christmas by Melinda Valentine is it! This was a really good, enthralling, quick read.

Cemetery Tour: A Walk Through the Old Yard by Stuart Ledwith was a great read! I enjoyed reading this novel more than his past that I’ve read, maybe because it felt more like fiction, and telling tales than just being a non-fiction book. I enjoyed reading every story that was told from the ghosts. Whether they were real or not, and whether these were just made up or actually told, they were very enjoyable to read, and went by really quickly. I’m glad I picked this book up to read. Definitely a page turner.

This is the first novel I’ve read from this series, I wasn’t confused so this could definitely be a standalone novel! The characters were great and well written, with amazing character development throughout the book. I loved the diverse characters and all their traits. It felt like being home with my family when I read it. It was also pretty steamy, so that could be a plus if you enjoy that short of thing, and I do. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

This story definitely has all the elements of a good book. This is the first I’ve read from this author, and I can’t wait to read more in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Last Playlist: a sonic epitaph by P.A. Kane was a great read! Reading this autobiography (written for his kids) was like sitting in a room listening to a good friend talk to you. The words flowed effortlessly, and I found myself laughing throughout, while sympathizing and agreeing with a lot of what Kane had to say. This is also a great read if you love music. While this is an autobiography, this novel is also about 70% music, and I think it’s a great read for the music enthusiasts out there. This was a book I was hoping to like and I ended up loving it. I definitely recommend this book if you’re a fan of autobiographies and music also.

Urban Justice by India Kells is the second book in the Chicago Vigilantes series and was a great read! This book was captivating from the first chapter, and was a great sequel to the first novel. This book is part of a series, but I found it works well as a stand alone novel. You don’t necessarily need to know the events in the first book to follow along with this one, although it does help a bit. The characters were great and the story was amazing. I still can’t decide whether I liked the first book better or this one, they were both so good! This was a great edition to the series and I can’t wait to read the next one!
