My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Salvatore knows he needs to take over as the Mafia Don, the latest threat to his family put everything in motion. With a Doctor on hand Salvatore is aware that Adrianna, is not a fan of him or his family. Something about the sexy Doctor with attitude to match pulls at him. He takes his shot with Adrianna, it is inevitable to not act on the chemistry but is Adriana everything she appears to be?

There is a lot to unfold about this story and definitely had me guessing what would happen. Fast paced read full of sizzling chemistry, action and intrigue. Salvatore is a complicated man whose personality radiates of the pages. Great match with Adriana. Really good book, highly entertaining.

This is a cute coloring book that would geared towards older teens and adults. The artwork is fun and good fir Halloween. Pictures are detailed enough to have good artwork but not so much it isn’t easy to add your own details. Fun activity.

As a huge fan of both coloring books and Halloween I had to pick this book up. It is a terrific book for coloring Halloween pictures. There is not a picture I do not love. It is easy enough for both kids and adults alike. I could see these being used in classrooms for kids to color at Halloween time. Great coloring book that I have been enjoying coloring all the pictures to put up around the house for decorating.

This is a beautiful collection of pictures for children (and adults) of all ages to enjoy and have fun colouring it.
My little boy and niece loved them and it was a great way to spend a creative afternoon while getting them excited about Halloween.
It was nice to have pictures that were cute and not as scary as most Halloween things as when my son was younger he found it all scary where as this book brings the spirit of Halloween, the dressing up and having fun without the over the top scary side.

I really loved it and will definately be showing it to my sons school for Halloween activity ideas.

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in the Scilian God’s series. This is a dark Mafia Romance and I loved it. As you would imagine with a Mafia Romance there is a lot of danger and intrigue, there is also a lot of passion and fierce protectiveness of the family and the women they love.
The connection between Salvatore and Adrianna is definately hot and electric. At first it’s not so much love as a hate relationship
Salvatore is a strong and powerful don. His main focus in on family business and protecting his Mafia family from harm. He seems cold and ruthless with no time for love and at times it seem like he has no capacity for love. That is until he meets Adrianna.
Adrianna is the doctor hired to take care of the patients at the hotel. Her job is to take care of the family without asking questions. She is a strong willed independent woman who doesn’t take kindly to a man telling her what to do or how she does it.
However the spark and connection she feels with Salvatore is too strong to ignore or turn away from.
However she has secrets and these secrets could threaten their romance and even cost her, her life?

What will happen if Salvatore let’s Adrianna in? Will he lose his focus and risk his family? What will happen when Adrianna’s secret is revealed? And how do you deny and connection and spark that is as powerful as the one between them?

I loved this story and I can’t wait to read more in this series .

Into the Light (Moon Harbor Series Book 3) by Kate McWilliams – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Into the LightInto the Light by Kate McWilliams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderfully heartwarming romantic suspense novel, with a forbidden romance element and a bit of a mystery added to the storyline, making this is an enjoyable and engaging read. Set in a small town, Moon Harbor, Raf is known as the quiet and reliable friend who doesn’t cause trouble, but Raf believes he’s cursed. He refuses to get close to people because they tend to get hurt when he does. Raf definitely does not want to hurt his best friends sister, Ellie, who has been treated as delicate by everyone following the death of her parents, but Ellie wants to live her own life. Ellie has secretly loved Raf, her brothers friend for years but he just sees her as his best friends kid sister, or so she thinks.
However, neither of them can deny their sizzling chemistry, but just as their friendship develops Raf’s tragic secret past comes back to haunt him, and threatens everything as their town is put at risk. More worryingly Ellie is in danger, the couple need to save each other and hope their love survives. Raf and Ellie are likeable and relatable characters who I felt instantly engaged with, and the descriptive narrative really brought the setting of Moon Harbor to life. I look forward to reading the previous books in the series, having enjoyed this one.

Totally loved this book! I have already been searching out the next one in the series.

I have always had a fascination with witchcraft and magic so this book completely appealed to me. Even though it was YA I really enjoyed it; even at my age…

This is the first book in the series and was incredibly well written. It set the stage for the next book however was a complete story in it’s own right.

I highly recommend this read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful read and I’m so glad I found it. I like a good contemporary romance read and this one was just great to read. I absolutely loved the characters El and Wil – I think I fell in love with them straight away. El was so determined to make her way in her music career and I loved that determination about her. I loved the first meeting between her and Wil.- there was just something about them that made me fall in love with them both straightaway. The authors writing was just wonderful, so seamless and easy to read.
I am absolutely looking forward to the next book in this series. I wholeheartedly recommend this book it’s a wonderful read.

What a wonderful story. This may have been book 3 in the series but I easily read it as a standalone however I definitely would love to read the first two as I enjoyed this one so much. I love a forbidden romance read so this was definitely a great book for me, I loved the characters Raf and Ellie, they are the type of characters who you just connect with straightaway and I soon fell in love with them. Alongside the romance there was a nice mystery element going on. I thought the author did a great job with this – this is actually the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed with her easy to read writing style and as mentioned earlier I absolutely can’t wait to read more of this series by her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was beautifully written and illustrated children’s book. I really enjoyed reading it to my niece and she loved the story. There a few talking points along the way which was great. I love dhow to story helped to express to the children the importance of perseverance and yes whilst some things are difficult to do if you keep trying sometimes you can get through it. In this instance for Moby it was playing the flute. It’s great for children to understand that not everything in life is easy and this book is a fantastic was of getting that message across.
A really great story with a great meaning to it.

This is a quaint little coloring book and would be great for a rainy day. I think it would be brilliant for children and adults alike. After all even adults like to color. The drawings are well done and look easy to fill in. Not my normal review but I am an equal opportunity reviewer. I just wish my children were a bit younger but I am sure they would have liked to color one or more of the pictures. I plan on doing a couple myself. Give it a go and let your inner child out.

It was quite a nice change to read a book just of poetry. I quite liked the unique poems. The author really did stimulate the senses. I really enjoyed the flow and rhythm of the poems. I felt quite able to relate to some of the poems and found that they spoke to me. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. I would like to read more from this author.

I have always loved coloring and Dainty Damsels mixes two of my favorite things. Growing up I was a huge Lisa Frank fan, and this book takes that love and brings it to a more adult feel and mixes it with my favorite holiday Halloween. Mixing both simple and complex designs this book is an enjoyable moment to slow down and enjoy the simple creativity of coloring. As a mom of two little boys, I don’t always have a moment to do something time consuming for myself. Being able to sit down for 10-15 minutes and color one of these beautiful designs by J. N. Sheats helps me decompress and bounce back for the next round of questions and allows some creative quiet moments with my boys as we enjoy coloring together.

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read many a dark mafia romance as it stands, but this series has opened up strong and addictive, just like I like my coffee. I absolutely admire both these characters life pursuits, their ambition, and their want to make the world a better place, even when their world isn’t full of silver linings and rainbows. Salvatore and Adrianna clearly stoke each others fire’s and when they really get down to the nitty gritty details, they find each other more consuming then their separate paths have been.

This authors attention to detail, world building and character development is talent to say the least, and I will certainly be reading more of this series as it becomes available. I didn’t want to put it down, and I have to admit, this was novel was devoured as though it was a novella. Highly recommend if action, sexy scenes, and a whole bunch of sexual tension is your thing. Well done!

I have always loved to color and loved Halloween. With Dainty Damsels, I get the combination of both. All pictures are adorable and fun to color. There are no difficult patterns to try to stay in the lines with. It is great for all ages. Each picture is unique.
I prefer a slightly bigger challenge than what Dainty Damsels offers, but since that is my personal preference, it does not take from the rating. I still had fun coloring it.

The Hunter (The Freemasons, #2)The Hunter by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book held its own, as the first book did! Loving this series so far, and I know that I will continue to do so! I love the author’s writing style, and how they create the world and how the characters live in that world! It’s very well done, complex at times, but realistic to a tee!

I enjoyed the story line between Gemma and Dominic! Great and strongly written characters. I especially admired Gemma. Very driven. Admirable. Dominic was a bit more complex, he was a man who knew how to get what he wanted. When they both cross lines and want something on the line, moments together are not avoidable. Can feelings get in the way, more less, of business? They both had excellent character development. The story really built up well as I read. Astonishing as I read through. I could not put this down. For me, as the first, the characters and writing style is what made the story! Truly loved it!

The author’s writing style is sensational! I love how they do the story and the characters that reside as they write! Very creative writing style Highly recommend this book/author/series! A must read for sure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boss’s Vendetta, first in the Sicilian Gods series, is gripping from start to finish. Via Mari perfectly captures jealousy and erotica in this mafia enemies-to-lovers romance, which features great characterisation, multiple point-of-views, and terrific world-building. The story follows Adrianna, successful doctor and strong, independent woman who knows how to put herself first, and Salvatore, mafia don with no heart and no soul. ‘Who could really ever love someone with a heart as black as mine?’ You can’t help but root for both characters and when you come to the end of one chapter, you can’t wait to start the next one. I highly recommend.

This book literally had it all…romance, raw characters, action, alien races, non stop suspense, you name it and you got it! The book was a non stop action thrill ride for me, that I did not want to get off!

Great character development. The story brought on a lot of intrigue as I read. The action was spot on. Enjoyed the characters, Ravenna and Dravos, they were raw and real as ones can get. Loved their attraction but also their much equipped dislike for one another! They were very well written, and were real as ones would want and could hope! I enjoyed the story line and their task at hand. The whole writing was well done, and really felt you right in the middle of it all, and in the world in which the story took place! Loved it!

Compelling story line and complex build up of characters. Enjoyed it all the way through! Highly recommend this author, and this book specifically! Neither should be passed up! Must read! I devoured this book!

I had dearly loved the first book by this wonderful author, in the same series. This one appealed in many ways as well to me. It was beautiful, with its own contrast. I could not put this down, I was deeply moved.

The story continued from events of the previous, with a nice flow and tone. I was deeply immersed as I read. Beauty was all around, as the reading went on. I found this time, our characters got more than they anticipated at first glance! Great characters and their development as I read. I was intrigued all the way. I absolutely enjoyed this and how the author writes with their writing style! There was much to love!

Wonderful part 2 of the first book. It definitely exceeded my expectations for all that it was, and all that it held. A must read all around. Highly recommend this book, and if you have not read the previous, do so!

The story was complex, as well as deep, but all in a good way. Strong characterization was a key point. Some darkness was aired through out the reading, but I found it helped make what the book was. Great take on a story line with Mafia. I was intrigued. Adriana Salvatore were written perfectly. I had hopes for them, despite their different lifestyles. I enjoyed the suspense and the story building as I read! Loved it!

Great read. Great start to a series, and I will be sure to read more by this author and the rest of the series. Not one to be passed up! Highly recommend this must read book and talented author!

I think a mix of markers and colored pencils will make this pop for what they are meant to be!

I always want to read fast to see what’s going to happen next but then I’m also torn because I want it all to last. Crazy right? The combination of amazing characters, intriguing storylines and some steam just can’t be beat! The lead characters in this book, Salvatore and Adrianna, had me completely hooked from the very first words on the page and kept me captivated until the very end. You could just tell their explosive chemistry was going to be off the charts. I can’t wait for more in this series and from this amazingly talented author!

I found it to be a real roller-coaster ride of emotions which was totally unexpected. If I had to pick a favourite it would definitely be “Dear Beatles”.
