This Time AroundThis Time Around by Kimberly Packard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Have you ever had a “what if I could go back in time” moment? Or what if you were forced to relive a year in your past? This is exactly what happens to the main character Josie in This Time Around by Kimberly Packard.

Josie’s life was turned upside down when her husband threatens to take her kids in their divorce, and the business she’s put most of her passion, time and money into building is at risk of failing. This leads to a reality shattering panic attack that causes Josie to wake up in her teenage home 30 years in the past, and now she is forced to relive her emotional senior year.

What an endearing story. I was pulled in immediately and didn’t want to stop turning the pages. This story is fast-paced, fun, and impactful with so many well-developed, intriguing, and interesting characters and with an ending that will make you laugh out loud and possibly shed a tear.

There is more to this story than just redoing a year of her life. There are choices to be made, memories to delight in, friendships to save, and deciding what she truly wants her future to look like.

I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Happy Reading!

This was a cute and quick read that would be perfect for young kids. I love that the illustrations look like drawings colored with crayon. The class Dino, that can see heat spots the children can not, solves how to keep the children warm for their nap time.

I was drawn to this book because I’m from the Midwest and was excited to finally see something about us. This book is a paranormal mystery, and I am here for it. I felt the story started off slow and that it took a while for clues but I did enjoy it. I really enjoyed the characters and liked how they all felt different. Overall I felt like the book was a good, unpredictable cozy mystery.

I have enjoyed reading many books by this author. This book is a second chance MM romance which I don’t always read but I really enjoyed this story. Elijah and Jude meet each other when Elijah is trying to calm baby Griffin so they can get some sleep and be ready for Elijah’s first day at his new job. Jude ends up helping calm Griffin. As Elijah and Jude get to know each other, Jude notices weird things happening around Elijah. Great world building by the author with a mix of mystery, new friendships, new jobs, and even Jude finding a reason to live again.

This is an intriguing story. Elijah and Jude both have painful pasts that they are trying to deal with. The two men develop a tentative friendship and when Elijah is in need Jude is more than ready to help. As the two spend more time together emotions began to come into the picture. Jude is a good man and will do what he can to keep Elijah and his son safe. Their story moves at a good pace and has a nice mix of drama and emotions. It was nice to see the way their friendship developed and deepened into something more.

The Story That Ties Us: A Second Chance Romance (Love Ties Us)

Losing anyone seems to put things in perspective but when it’s a close friend yiu have had since childhood it really kicks you in the gut then the rear to try and fix things with people you have hurt or lost touch with.

Jamie broke Blakely’s heart several years ago and it was when she needed him most and he hasn’t seen her since, but that changes when he sees her out in the wild.

Blake’s life wasn’t the worst but could have been better, but Jamie in her life first as friends then they move forward. Her heart is shattered twice is a very short period of time. She moves on and is happy with her job and boyfriend until she sees Jamie again after a long while.

I loved the way the second chance for this couple worked out even with all of the peaks and valleys along the way. I’m excited to keep up with this group of friends and how they find love.

What a cute story. The dog has an itch and everyone has to solve the problem. My grandson actually sat and read this to me. That’s a win by itself. He laughed at all the solutions they came up with. He’s autistic and felt the vet solution is the one that should have been first. He’s a logic thinker. I loved how it opened up a conversation for us. I loved the colorful illustrations. It’s a neat book that teaches about dogs. A definite must for a kid’s library.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rocky the raccoon is going to his first ever family reunion. He has never met any of them, so he is a bit nervous. His parents moved to the city before they had him and they never went back to the country to visit before. His mom and dad tell him that it will be okay and he will get to meet and make friends with new family members. It doesn’t help his nerves though. When they get there he meets so many people and names are thrown around so fast that there is no way he can remember. Joking his uncle tells him there is a test on names later. He watches as everyone starts games. He can’t swim so he doesn’t play the first game. He doesn’t like eggs so he doesn’t play the second game. For the fourth game everyone has partners but him. He’s not having the best of times. But when the final game comes about he is the perfect teammate. He was born in the city so it gives him a leg up on dumpster diving. He teaches the rest of the family what to do and he starts to have fun. He makes plans with Rascal (a cousin) to come back and learn the other games and maybe even have them come to the city. It’s such a cute story and book. Rocky leaves happy and excited for another visit. I’d recommend this book for younger kids (10 and under). Maybe a first library even.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Vampire in Disguise is the first book of the Creatures of the Midwest book series. I was intrigued when I picked up this book because of the title and it was a paranormal mystery. The story follows Hazel as she arrives in Shadow Hollow to look for a murderer. Hazel quickly finds out there is more to the inhabitants of Shadow Hollow than she originally expected. The story drew me in and I enjoyed Hazel as a character. The different residents of Shadow Hollow definitely add to the story and mystery needing solved. I enjoyed the writing and what could have easily become a convoluted and confusing story was easily understandable. The ending left me wanting more and will bring me back to learn more about Hazel. The blurb groups the book in the same vein as True Blood and Midnight, Texas which I found to be accurate. If you enjoy paranormal stories with a cozy mystery this is worth grabbing. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

I am so happy to see another Tally installment. In this book Tally and her dad are on a Greek island. I have a feeling that most people are interested in Greek Mythology, as am I, so that immediately pulled me in. I loved learning about the history and culture right along with her. In this book Tally faces many challenges and tough decisions. She gets to experience so much with her dad, making many new friends everywhere she goes. Here in Greece, she gets to learn to scuba dive, enjoy the sea, and discover ancient temples. Tally and her Angel Jophiel always have an adventure and reading as and adult its magical, I can’t imagine how wonderful it would be for kids to read and what they can learn and dream up.

A great second book that follows the loves of Cadence and Damien. Cadence is the best friend of Blake, the main character in book one. This was another dual point of view story and I loved it. Cadence is stuck in a job that she doesn’t really like with a boyfriend that she has had since college. Her eyes are opening and she starts to see that he isn’t the man she fell in love with but she keeps trying and hoping to bring that fun, loving boy back into her life. Cadence meets Damien, the lead singer of a rock band, when her sister Jade drags her to a show one night. Instart sparks fly with just a look but Cadence is in a relationship and therefore off limits. Damien is the lead singer of a rock band that is still trying to make it big. He is tattooed and pierced and brooding. He seems to hold everything close to him and doesn’t really open up or let anyone in. Cadence needs to choose what is going to make her happy and Damien needs to keep his family safe. This book was a page turner and I hope that there are more to come in the series!

I loved this book! I loved the characters and the conflicts and the military background. This is a second chance romance with alternating point of view chapters/sections. Blakely and Jamie were high school sweethearts until he joined the Air Force, started pulling away, and then broke off their engagement. Blakely moved on, bought a house, has her dream job at the local paper, and is dating again. She is still hurt and doesn’t understand why he left but she thinks her anger will protect her heart from feeling more. Jamie hasn’t been home in years, but he comes back for his friend’s funeral. It was a friend he grew up with, ran into again in the Air Force and became close again, and now Jamie feels responsible for his death. Jamie and Blakely are thrown together over and over and she tries to keep her distance while he tries to not show his true feelings. Jamie is hurting, he is struggling, he is closed off from everyone around him. Being home and around his friends again he starts to heal and hopes to heal the hurt he caused Blakely too.

Casting Vows (Hearts of Gold Book 3)Casting Vows by Ariella Talix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Historical romance is not typically my go-to romance sub-genre, but I don’t often see a polyamory style historical so I thought I’d give it a shot.
I liked the premise, and it has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fully connect to the characters. There were a few places the dialog felt awkward, and the overall writing felt somewhat formal rather than entertaining.
Despite that, I’d say it was a good reading experience, just a few hiccups here and there. And for people who really love historicals, this would likely be a good read.

This was a very interesting read with a unique twist. It is a story of romance, lost love, fate, rediscovering yourself, and learning about consequences of your decisions. My heart went out to our main character Josie has to comes face to face with problems from her past but while she has the ability to make these right how will changing past events effect her future.

Josie is a mother and business woman. When her life feels like it’s falling apart, her husband is wanting a divorce and custody of the kids and the big deal for her business falls through she ends up having a panic attack.
When she wakes up she finds herself back in time to her teenage self.
Suddenly realising she now has the opportunity to change things about her past, make things right and finally be with the man she truly loves Josie plans to do just that. However having the knowledge and experience of an older woman will she make the sensible decisions she knows she should make or will she follow her heart.
And what will happen to her future self if she makes those changes. Will she still end up married to Peter with her kids that she loves and adores or will she end up losing the one thing she loves more than anything in the world?
I really enjoyed this story and I loved the trip down memory Lane with a return to the 90s. I could really relate to Josie and I felt how hard things were for her having a choice between the person she always loved and her kids who are her world. This was a captivating read that I couldn’t put down.

No One Could See the FleaNo One Could See the Flea by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“No One Could See the Flea” is a delightful and humorous tale that teaches children an important lesson about the dangers of assumption. The story is well-written and easy to follow, making it perfect for early readers or for reading aloud to younger children.

The protagonist, Jack, is relatable and likable, and his determination to solve his dog’s supposed flea problem is admirable. The supporting characters, including Jack’s friends, are well-developed and add to the story’s humor and charm.

One of the strengths of this book is its ability to convey complex concepts in a simple and accessible way. The author does an excellent job of illustrating the consequences of making assumptions without evidence. The story also promotes critical thinking and encourages children to question their own beliefs and gather facts before jumping to conclusions.

Cute read about helping others. Everything about the Dinopotamus series is amazing the easy to comprehend stories for all ages and how they always involve so many life lessons in them. This one was no different Lois Wickstrom shows not only how to help others, Dinopotamus making a warm nap spot for the children but also alternate forms of communication. Just because someone or something can’t talk doesn’t mean they can’t communicate with you in other ways if you just pay attention. My younger son was nonverbal until he was three, currently seven and he loved this book, and remembers using sign language to communicate in other ways.

Anytime I pick up a Terri Sabol book I know it’s going to be a treasure. This book shows the amazing ways youngsters overcome anxiety. Rocky is going to his first family reunion and doesn’t know anyone other than his parents and sister. The moment a struggle appears he overcomes his worries and speaks up to help everyone. Classic style illustrations mixed with the story gave me some childhood memories of the American Tails movies.

Heads up the eBook had a slight mix up in one place with the pages being reversed. The pages with the egg eating contest.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I must say up front to read the author’s warning first. I found this to be an interesting read. It is a prequel to the Blind Rebels series. It’s rough, gritty and deals with some tough stuff. Mav, Callum, Becka and Sammy are well-written characters. I don’t know anything about the rock scene but I feel this was pretty realistic. This is one messed up group. I’m pretty sure that I may need to read the series because I’m left feeling like something is missing. I suggest you read it for yourself and make up your own opinion. The “extras” are bonus chapters for each book in the series. If you are a fan of rock romance, this would be a good read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurring the Lines & Extras was an interesting story. I enjoyed it to an extent, though like Callum I’m not a fan of the main female character. The author gives a story of a woman’s need to be famous and need for attention.
Becka is determined to bag a rock star. Have the focus be on her and have a song written about her.
Unfortunately Dom isn’t the man she thought he was, but it lands her in the lap of Maverick. When he invites her on tour, how can she resist? But one problem she has in her head is that she needs to do all this. But also needs to love the band but have each one love her back.
Maverick is at odds with Callum which is why he ends up right in. The arms of Becka. Becka becomes his world outside of his band Blind Rebels, but just one problem, nothing is ever easy. He has a band member who is going off the rails who has a death wish. A best friend he doesn’t know how to help, but wants to in the worst way.
When Becka gets involved she makes it so Cal can’t resist her. Not taking into account how that will impact him.
Will Maverick find out?
Will Cal be the one to spill the beans about Becka?
Or will Becka truly come clean herself?
Will Cal succeed in moving on from life?
Those questions and so many more.
Go into this story with an open heart. I don’t care for Becka’s game so I was rooting for Cal to blow it all up. Who will you get behind?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The prodigal son returns! The Fallen Man brings the reader the story of the oldest O’Connell sibling and his journey of finding himself. It’s the next book in The Olympic Peninsula Series. A series consisting of 5 books that could possibly be read as standalone novels but flow better in Consecutive order.
Edward is back in his home state let alone town his family is very familiar with. He left the Church. A church that tried to ruin his life and career. If it were not for his ability of clairvoyance he may never have proven his innocence in the matter. Now that he is free of the church he is no longer a celebate man. Finding women flirting and falling at his feet, yet he seems to only have eyes for one.
Lisette keeps seeing this man lingering in her restaurant. When she works up the courage to talk to him, she realizes who it is. An O’Connell sibling, one of the wealthiest families in the area. A man she learns is a good conversationalist and would look forward to getting to know. So when he asks her out she feels, this could be it!
But no connection ever has easy navigation and this story is no different. Edward should really find himself before jumping head first into something new.
What happens between Edward & Lisette?
Will Teresa, Edward’s sister’s assistant, cause problems for them?
Those questions and so many more as you read this no novel. I’ve read all the books in the series and they are all great! I suggest everyone to start at the begin before jumping in.

It’s a second chance romance that I immediately fell in love with. This is filled with intense emotions, Drama, spice,and chemistry. The author really knows how to write some amazing characters and some not so great characters. That’s you’ll feel some crazy Disdain for lol cough cough Gwen. But that just means the author is doing a great job if she gets you to feel such things. I can’t wait to read more of this series.

My household loves it when I bring another book home by this author, and this was no exception! We have read so many of their picture books for younger readers, but the chapter books such as these have been so amazing. My kiddos are 8 and 12 years old so they are the perfect target audience for this wonderful book. Even though I am far past the target age range, I definitely enjoyed reading this as well. There are three short mysteries inside this book and they were all great adventures. The author does an amazing job setting the scene and developing characters and plot well enough for an intriguing story, but still at the proper level for kiddos. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the younger ones in your life. You will find yourself enjoying it just as much!

This is the first book I have read by Ava Silvers, and I really enjoyed her storytelling! Knowing this is the first in a series is exciting; there were definitely pieces of the story that would have felt unresolved or that I had questions about that I am hopeful she expands upon in future stories (like the Librarian?!). Silvers does a great job with describing characters and mystical components; I especially am intrigued by the town that accepts magical beings and encourages them to live without hiding their identities. Definitely looking forward to book 2!

Wow……this book!!! This story was one roller-coaster of a ride of emotions. I am thinking to myself, why have I not discovered this book earlier. The Predator is book 1 in The Predator series and the author did a great job of bringing two different characters together from different paths of life. Absolute intensity between Chamberlain and K.C….their passion and love for each other is truly undeniable. With self doubt, greed, control, two different family lifestyles and upbringing, you never expect Chamberlain and K.C. to want each other with their every being but they do. This story…..wow..I am already anticipating into diving into the second book as soon as possible…I have to know…

Chamberlain has his eye on the prize, wanting to make it big in the fighting world..never expecting to meet K.C. in a chance encounter. K.C. has her life totally controlled by her parents, whom are high in society, from whom she has to marry to how she dresses and presents herself. K.C. has never had any choices on her own…but the fire that burns when she meets Chamberlain, gives her confidence on what she wants. As their passion and intensity builds for one another….so does the lies, deceit and secrets that no one wants them together, between K.C.s parents to Chamberlain’s crew of ladies whom follow him to all of his fights.

When lines blur and a heartbreaking view as K.C. feels betrayal at the core, will K.C. and Chamberlain be able to overcome…or will the family of K.C. have anything to say about it with utter disappointment…

Definitely read and find out…this story is FANTASTIC!!
