Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my first book by book by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I quickly devoured the words. Tj and Kat are perfect for each other. The story was both original and delightful. The chemistry between TJ and Kat was perfect. The emotions that this book caused me were just what I needed. I would definitely recommend this book.

Ballet School Rumours: An Amberwood Hall Ballet School Adventure by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was the perfect follow up to the first installment and while it is great in sequence this one can be read by itself! Its the perfect book for any age but its definitely geared towards the middle school girl! Lessons like teamwork, and hardworking are taught in a way in which kids are not getting lectured and the characters are just as amazing!
The Graceful Ghost by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I absolutely enjoyed reading this book! The author did an excellent job portraying all the characters and finding just the right hook for the readers. Its almost the perfect read for teens as well. Serious issues are discussed in a way that isn’t too heavy, there’s a tad bit of drama and there’s some paranormal to make sure the story doesn’t get too serious! I look forward to reading more from this author!
Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was a super fun read! I dug right into it after finishing book one. I love the story line between the hospital employees, the tight knit crew, the patients, and the extra visitors at the nurse’s house! The story is super easy to read, and there are plenty of characters to fall in love with. I love how the villain of this story is so demented and sick that she is just doing all kinds of bad things to patients in comas, and those alive as well. I don’t want to give the story away but I was not ready for the ending. I will be reading the next book in the series! This was a nice, weird, light hearted series to dig into.
The Secret Cure by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This gripping physiological thrill had me hooked from page one, I just simply couldn’t put it down. Full of drama, suspense, betrayal, vengeance and more this thriller really had it all. The characters were perfect for the setting of this story, the author’s word building was wonderful, and the story was just twisted enough to keep you guessing the entire time. This isn’t typically my type of book I’m more of a YA or romance girl, however this thriller has definitely opened my eyes to what I’ve been missing.

This sweet and intriguing story really has it all, I was half way done with the book before I came to first stopping point and felt like I had only read for twenty minutes. The characters are just simply amazing, sweet, and so realistic that you feel every emotion they are going through. Full of great characters, a small town, love and more this unique story is so good I might just reread it.

While this is the third book in the series and while I haven’t read the previous two trust me when I say I definitely will. But to ge completely honest I had no idea whay i was in for when it came to this book. Full of ghosts, mystery, drama and more this book definitely kept me intrigued.

I loved this book. It was a total twist. Didn’t expect what was going to happen next. Being so young Rosalie is not able to do what she once did because of an illness. Then she finds out her husband is stepping out on her. Which I believe gives her the motivation to find her strength.

Murder in the Lightning Room by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Janel Bernotas
Set in the 1800s, this was a great book of mystery and intrigue. Featuring Nikola Tesla and his devices was a fantastic addition. Very good character development. Pacing was just right. This book left me clinging to each page to solve the mystery!
Death & Mirrors: All Things Dark & Deadly, Book One by S.F. Benson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is downright amazing, I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! I devoured it in a matter of hours, and it still felt like I couldn’t read fast enough! Evaline is a necromancer who loves a good mystery. She is also a very strong female lead which is very refreshing. Her father is stricter than Evaline can accept and only sees her as a future wife to someone of his choice. This is obviously not Evaline’s wishes so she takes matters into her own hands. She finds herself and her wonderful beacon, Delbert, transported to a mirror world called Londinium. They both instantly feel the danger and urgency to solve the mysterious killings by an entity known as Doctor Death. Will they be able to return to their world unharmed or will Londinium be their new, dark home? I cannot wait until Book 2 of this series! It is one I will be waiting for at the edge of my seat!

I loved this book as much as the previous book. I would say it’s geared mostly towards middle school aged girls, but I’m in my 40s and enjoyed it. I liked how there were lessons to learn from the story like teamwork, honesty and responsibility. You can read this as a standalone, but why would you?
Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Key to His Heart is an emotional read. It is told from a dual point of view through the eyes of TJ and Katrina. The story is sweet and touching. I enjoyed getting the story from both of the main characters. It was great to see how the same story is seen through the eyes of the different characters. Love stories often deal with the situation’s timing, which this one also did. I enjoyed that the story was not outlandish or off the rails with unrealistic scenarios. I haven’t read much from this author, but I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a great read to grab if you need some realism and a HEA.

This is book three of the series, but I read this one as a stand-alone. It’s a great book for teens and even middle schoolers! Lauren gets back to school already worrying with a new student, and her ghost friends. Her friend decides to put a gossip blog up about ghosts which has put a turn to a lot of events. Please take a read! Totally worth it!
Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was truly phenomenal. What an emotional rollercoaster this was! Katrina, Tj, and Toby were characters you couldn’t help but fall in love with and they made the story so exceptional. To say I felt every emotion is an understatement, I bawled, felt their joy, and every possible feeling in between! As a single mom who found someone to share their life and the heavy load with, I can honestly say this captured that soooo well! Kristina Beck did an incredible job writing a story that felt so much like I’m sure so many’s real lives. An exceptional read that brings a realistic quality to the fiction romance novels!
Death & Mirrors: All Things Dark & Deadly, Book One by S.F. Benson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a beautiful blend of Alice in Wonderland with necromancy, magick, and darkness. The mystery that is being solved is so intriguing and really kept me on the edge of my seat- I could NOT put this book down. I LOVE Evalines character- she has so much strength and girl power. The idea of the mirror world isn’t new but the authors writing and the characters trials throughout give it a fresh take. Also- name a better villain name then Dr. Death. So many elements of this book were perfectly executed- the interactions of the characters with Evaline, her detective work, the magick, the artifact, the writing- it was all good to be honest! There were times I couldn’t figure out where the story was going to go- and that suspense is my favorite! Definitely give this one a read. 💖
Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The second book in the Soul Bonded series is Castor’s Kiss. This book is a Sci-Fi and Romance all rolled up into one. Tai James ability to draw me to this book with her storytelling ability. She has just the right amount of Sci-Fi, romance, and adventure to keep the story moving. Her characters are fully developed and complicated. This is Mia’s story. She has been kidnapped and has to fight to the death. She is put into an arena where she has become the crowd’s favorite brawler. Castor is on a mission to rescue Mia. Will Castor complete the mission? Will Castor and Mia have a future with each other? I highly recommend this book if you are looking for some action and adventure.
Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, my goodness this story is so good. If you like to read about insta-love and soul mates with a little mystery added in, then this is definitely the book for you!
Main character, Katrina, discovers many things about herself throughout this story. One thing she discovers is how strong she is with the birth of her son, Toby. Main character, TJ, also learns a few things about himself. He learns to trust the process.
Katrina and TJ meet under strenuous circumstances and feel a connection immediately. But since both have had their hearts broken, they are leery about taking a chance on romance, even though the attraction and pull to each other is so strong.
Katrina has a few secrets that she isn’t so sure TJ can handle. And she can’t handle TJ leaving her. But her secrets are slowing killing her and those she loves. TJ knows something is going on with Katrina, but he doesn’t know how to help her, especially since she isn’t sharing her problems with him.
This story teaches the main characters and the reader to trust the process, seek help, and know that everyone is suffering from something. We are ok. You are ok.

Ahhh! Another lovely addition to the Mermaid Science series. I’ve been really enjoying reading these to my daughter and it has been so much fun to watch her absorb and learn about the magic of science!

This book is amazing. I was entranced from the minute I started reading. EmVee and Kayson seemed to have the most chemistry but then there was Silas. Rachel seems like a good friend, and then there is Megan. I don’t think any of these people are what they seem and EmVee is stuck trying to figure out why her family was brought to this town in the first place, what her dad has to do with any of it. The ending of course left me dying for more, I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This was such a great read! I was completely captivated, finding myself waking up earlier in the morning than my alarm to read it before going to work! This book encompasses two individuals, Katrina and TJ. Katrina has relocated to a different town after going through a nasty divorce and being 8 months pregnant. TJ is a retired famous football player who helps his parents out in the family store. When these two collide, sparks fly, and they cannot stand to be apart from one another! There are some crazy instances that are the driving forces that are pulling them together and the way that was written was one of a kind and just so brilliant. The way the author wrote this book, the ideas, wording and details was phenomenal! I cannot wait to read more of her books!!

Sword of Darkness by L.M. Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This YA fantasy book is part of a series but can be read alone. This mystery, danger, supernatural book is fast paced and attention grabbing. This book is about Reece, the car loving, adrenaline seeking car racer who finds himself in a race he didn’t bargain for.
Reece finds himself in a world he thought only existed in books, then forced to make tough decisions, with tough lessons with even tougher consequences. Save the love of his life or save his family, Can he save both?
There is love, betrayal and secrets. This book had me hooked from the very beginning and can’t wait to read more by this author

Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve read the first part of this series and instantly fell in love with it. It’s no different with this part. This part draws you deeper into the story as you figure out who Nurse Morgan is outside of her paranormal powers but are introduced to other characters as well. Watch this story unwind in the land of the living and on the other side as you indulge in this page turner! Enjoy and pick up this great read!
This was a great travel audible book. Emma, age 16, works in the family bakery and holds her own when things get rough. Now, even though she has been trained, she has no experience. But that does not stop her from getting involved. She has a habit of writing things down that seem out of place. Actually that’s clever for someone her age. This was a high energy suspenseful story. Questions asked, and questions answered is what you will find throughout this story. The author has quite the imagination and her story keeps everyone entertained. This is a great story for teens and young readers alike. This is a historical novel, which generally I don’t read, but this one drew my interest. I’m happy I took the chance, and look forward to reading the others in this series.

Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is a well written story that had me coming back for more. I enjoyed how the author used her writing skills to make the story come to life. This is a story that could cause triggers in parts but if you can get past those you will find a story that will tick all the boxes. This is a story about an ex-football player and a single parent who needs more confidence in herself. One risks their heart to be shattered and the other holds the key to opening the heart. These are great characters that I enjoyed watching their growth. They have great chemistry and support each other. They made the story for me for sure. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. I found this story to be easy to read and entertaining. It filled my afternoon with romance and a great story. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.
