Isabel is promised to a man that she has never met. She has a lot of insecurities about marrying a man she has never laid eyes on, but she trusts her father to make the best decision for her. She follows through with the marriage despite her doubts as to which side of the War of the Roses he is on. Needless to say, she is pleasantly surprised that her husband is honest with her and even though there are miscommunications along the way, they come to an understanding with each other. As the story follows the first year of their marriage, they learn together how best to serve their people.
I enjoyed this read depicting life in the 15th century during the War of the Roses. I appreciated that the author was up front about the history and that it was their perspective of how things might have played out if this story had happened. For me, it was fascinating how many holidays and celebrations the people had in 15th century England! Reading about how Isabel worked through new responsibilities and balanced it all while being so young was entertaining.

Isabel, daughter of a knight, finds herself promised in marriage. This is during the time of The War of The Roses. This makes it worse because her husband is on the wrong side. Through many adventures, Isabel finds that her father has prepared her for survival. The question is can she? It’s going to be a rough journey during a time when when are seen as property. I enjoyed this historical romance because I found Isabel to be a very strong character. Knock her down and she’ll get back up. She knew how to survive. Her mother taught her skills on the side. She was a very brave woman. The story pulled me in the farther I got. I found the action to be intriguing trying to keep up with who was behind what. I found the intrigue quite entertaining. It is a very good book. A new author to me, I will be looking for more of her books to read.

Amber Waves of Grace is a heart-warming and emotional quick read. It is a story with challenging times and lurking troubles. It is a second chance romance that will bring out all the feels. Jessica’s story telling is simplistic in its narrative and it is easy to like the characters. It is a clean romance with religious overtones and messages within.
Corrie finds she may have bit off more than she can chew but along with all the unrest, challenges, danger, just to name a few, she really starts to find herself and realise she is stronger than she thought along the way.
If you love clean romance stories you will like this book.
Insatiable Darkness YA fantasy story and an intriguing story and an interesting prelude to the series. The story is written in third person and I felt a slight disconnect with the main character, I think I needed more backstory for them. It also took me a few chapters to get into the story. Having said that it does not mean that the story didn’t have all the elements to be a good story. The story is fast paced and not quite as cohesive as I would have liked. It is a short tale that I would have liked to see a bit longer. As this is the set up for the series, I am hoping we get more in future books.
There is mythology and mystery, danger and supernatural/paranormal beings, magic and more that I am sure that any YA fantasy lover will enjoy.

It is total mayhem and madness. I love black humour and that is what this book has. It is one crazy and unique story. Even though it is one book there is a story for each character that pulls the overall story together. I laughed, I cringed, I gasped, I shook my head but, in the end, I really enjoyed it.
It is a horror, sci fi, suspense story and a buffet of everything in between that will have you completely enthralled. I really enjoyed Robert’s sense of humour and look forward to reading more. This fast-paced tale is certainly different and has lots of action and adventure.
I am not going to give anything away as you need to read it yourself to fully appreciate it.

Set in 15th century England Love in the Roses is an engaging and intriguing tale. This book is a stand-alone historical medieval romance story. I found myself drawn in to this world and the main character and her life.
As readers we get a real feel of what life could have been like through TL’s portrayal with vivid details and her passion. The world building and the characters are well written, complex and compelling.
We take a journey back in time with knights and swords, feasts and horses. I enjoyed the banter throughout the story which gave it a more realistic feel.
Isabel’s finds she is to enter into a union with Sir William, the enemy. But not everything is as she thinks. She soon finds out there is much more to a marriage than she thought she would get.
Book 3 in the series we are joining Fitz again in another case. There so much dramatic, Romantic and suspense in this book i couldn’t put it down. He’s figuring out another murder yet again but what has happened to the poor mother.

Introduced to Effy Mcphee she not always had the easiest life. We are following Fitz again and he’s on another case an abandoned non-verbal girl is left at the station after times passed if seems she connected to those mystery cases. This story had a lot of overlapping which works really well. Highly recommended this series.
This is my first book by this author. I am a fan. Everything from the characters to the plot had me intrigued. I could not put it down. THe author has a way of hooking you into the story and not letting go. For it to be the second book in the series, I could not tell the difference. An Amazing stand alone.

I really enjoyed this book! This author has this way of writing that makes it seem like we’re traveling on the journey with Yarissa, seeing the way she thinks things through – or doesn’t think things through, as the case may be. I adore the world she’s weaved, and wish I could walk through it with Yarissa. I appreciate the way that her superiors have this faith in her and see her potential in a way that she doesn’t, because it mimics what real life seems like. So many times, it’s the people around us who see our true potential and give us hints as to what our next steps should be, and that is beautifully illustrated in this book. I truly enjoy watching Yarissa grow throughout her journey and look forward to reading more by this author!

I loved this book so so much. I stayed up way too late reading it because once started I literally could not put it down. It was full of twists and darkness and definitely steamy scenes. Sydney and Kage were perfect characters that fed off of each other’s darkness. I highly recommend if you like dark romance, just be sure to read triggers about it first!

Jake the Growling Dog: A Children’s Book about the Power of Kindness, Celebrating Diversity, and Friendship (Jake the Growling Dog Book 1) by Samantha Shannon – Review by Janel Bernotas
A sweet story about Jake, a happy-go-lucky dog who happens to growl all the time. He’s not mad or aggressive. It’s just how he is. This first book in the “Jake the Growling Dog” series teaches kindness, love, and understanding. It includes some thoughtful kindness sharing exercises at the end to help children spread love and care toward others. This has become one of my favorite childrens book series!

A story that will touch the hardest of hearts. I could not imagine a beloved pet and it’s family going through all that Kingsley and his family had to face.

I love reading books that are unique retellings of stories that I love, especially fairytale-type stories. This is an imaginative book with Alice in Wonderland vibes that hooked me with magic, mystery, and mayhem. I found myself wanting to know what the characters would do next and felt very invested in the main female character. This was the first book I read by this author and I look forward to reading more. I found this to be an easy, enjoyable read.

I have been eyeballing this book for awhile as I saw it popping up all over my recommendations. I finally was intrigued enough to fall back down into the werewolf alpha rabbit hole. It’s very easy for me to get sucked into the werewolf genre and I have to force myself to take a break and move on to a new genre. However, this story just sucked me back in and I think this binge is going to be a long one!
What’s not to love about this plot line? A bullied second son, deemed nerdy and insignificant to his pack. Suddenly thrust into a position of power and the great responsibility that comes with it (Yes, I channeled my inner Spider Man spirit for that, thank you Uncle Ben!). Nolen, said second son, is sent away to train while learning how to fulfill his new role. He is determined to gain the respect of his pack and be the protector and provider he knows he can be. His journey along the way brings new people into his life and a new perspective. Of course, old enemies arise and Nolen is forced to put his words into actions. It’s a great journey to follow. I won’t spoil it all but I will tell you, read it now! You won’t regret it!

I squealed so hard when I saw this book had released!! I FLOVE this series so much- so it was a given that I would rush to one-click a copy to dive into. I always look forward to my time between Teresa Sederholt’s covers because she is such an amazing storyteller and always leaves me completely satisfied! And let me tell you, this book might just be her best yet!!! I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the Fitz Series by Theresa Sederholt. It is such a fantastic story with all the ingredients that I look for in a riveting read. With crime, suspense, a serial killer on the loose, danger, violence, romance, some spice, dramatic developments, mystery, murder, intrigue, and plenty of emotion – made for quite a thrilling reading experience. This story could probably be read as a standalone- but why would you want to, knowing that there are 3 other amazing books in the series that are not only page-turners themselves, but also help to lay down some of the framework and foundation for the series, provide character introductions (as there are several intriguing recurring characters), and impart important backstory…. All of which will ensure that you get the best reading experience, not only of this book, but the overall series as well. I loved Andy from the moment I met back in Book One- along with Stephen, they really rounded out the cast and brought something special to the series- adding Stella to the mix only made things better. Fitz, I adore- can’t get enough of him. I also love and appreciate the dynamic that these characters have together, throughout the series. So, reading this book and what had happened between Andy and Stephen was quite heart-wrenching at times. Ms. Sederholt certainly played a fine tune with my emotions through this story, that’s for sure. Add in a deranged serial killer who is targeting gay men, placing a target on our favourite MM’s, danger, tension, heart-stopping developments, and plenty of thrills…. really made for a wonderfully gripping read. Again, as I have said repeatedly in the past, I am in awe of Ms. Sederholt’s creative abilities, and how she manages to produce such incredibly well written stories, every time, and making it all seem so effortless. This is one of my all-time favourite series, from an incredibly talented author who should be on everybody’s must-read list! Can’t wait for more!!! Happy Reading!

This was a well developed story that could have very well been a future qe as humans has to face in the wake of facing modern times without a modern solution. The book although a part of a series reads well enough that it can be enjoyed alone or together as it is intended. The story is a dystopian romance that leaves the readers on the edge of their seat in suspense as the story takes surprising twists and turns. I would recommend this book as a good read and a wonderful eye opener for how much humanity takes for granted, but that could be so quickly changed in a moments notice.

One in A Billion is frustrating. Of the three books I’ve read in this series so far, probably my least favorite, I still really enjoyed it. The author’s character development again is impressive. Seth, the second oldest Pierce brother, is a billionaire. One Victoria would kill to write the potential promotional profile piece on. Even if it came down to lying to get in front of the man himself. Little did she know that lie would lead to a whirlwind adventure. Seth needed a new PA, and when Tori came in for an unexpected interview he was the one she wanted. One problem was he had no resume, no references, not even a way to contact her. Which means he needed to use his computer skills to find her. What he found angered him, Tori was really Victoria who is a journalist at a woman’s magazine. Once calms down he turns his anger into an opportunity I’ll scratch your back, You scratch mine type of deal. He presented Victoria with an offer she couldn’t refuse. He would give her the exclusive info to write her profile piece, if she agreed to be his publicist to help launch his public profile. Unfortunately just like his other brothers, he never expected she would be the woman who could bring him to his knees. All of these books are wonderful alone or together. The author lays out a beautiful story for each brother, which would mean there should be one more to look forward to!

I like Spoilsport better than book 1! The 2nd book in the Pierce brother’s series is a second chance romance. The two main characters I could relate to on so many levels. I understood Nadia and why she is the way she is, because I was the same way. Luke, you feel for him and everything he’s balancing. Being from a broken home I understand Nadia’s difficulty accepting love. I’ve always been the same way. Nadia is a force to be reckoned with, and doesn’t appreciate her married one night stand, Luke, showing back up in her life. It’s just now he’s divorced and he can do something she needs. Fix her death trap of a house. Luke, working nonstop, doesn’t hesitate to want to help Nadia. He’s always wanted to restore an old house to its original glory. Nadia’s house would be perfect, unfortunately the stubborn homeowner would do anything to not give him the green light on the job. He also has to juggle seeing his daughter when his ex-wife gives him the chance. Not always sticking to their agreement. Another thing a child from a broken home, such as myself can relate too! Some people split amicably, others there’s resentment. Anyone on either side of those situations can relate to these characters. The author beautifully writes two of the most stubborn and set in their way characters and progressively moves them towards each other with so much growth it works! I look forward to more books from this author, let alone series since there are 2 brothers left.

This is a sweet romance about finding love when you least expect it. In one heroic move Sol saves lives but loses his ability to keep being a firefighter. He soon finds himself in downward spiral, but Ember is not willing to give up on man she admires. Ember has always looked up to Sol but when she gets to work with the man, she soon begins to feel much more than just admiration. Can Ember save Sol from himself before it is too late? Their story is a quick and predictable one. If you enjoy Harlequin type romance books than this one is for you. While Sol may have lost his purpose since getting injured Ember has never doubted him. As Ember tries to reach the man she knows is still there, the two must figure out the attraction that is simmering between them. While the storyline was interesting, I did not connect with the characters. I felt that there was not enough depth to them and some of the plot just really seemed like filler and unnecessary. I would have liked to have seen the story fleshed out a bit more, as it stands the story felt a bit rushed to me. I was happy to see the importance put on therapy and help for those needing it, but it seemed almost as if it was just added for moving the plot along. As bad as Sol was, he barely saw the therapist and after a few sessions he was pretty much cured. I know this is fiction, but it was a stretch. It was nice to see Sol and Ember find their way to a happy ever after.

A beautiful beginning to what looks like could be a great series. Mr. Nice Guy introduces us to the youngest Pierce brother. One who is written as sweet but damaged from relationships past. Chelsea always dates the wrong guy, she’s too nice for her own good. Unfortunately for her she likes the bad boys. I can definitely relate to that. Bad boys have this confidence that makes them attractive despite how bad they may be for you. Nice guys finish last! That’s what applies to Tom. At the same time Tom is wallowing in his own self pity from relationships past. Despite all that he agrees with Nadia’s, Chelsea’s best friend, crazy plan to show Chelsea what it would be like to date a nice guy for the next seven days. Being his best friend’s baby sister and the fact he’s attracted to her the next week definitely is a whirlwind for them both. This is book 1 in a new series but it really feels that it could just as much be a standalone as well. The author wrote some wonderful characters that have been through some painful experiences, in a manner the reader can relate too! Makes me look forward to book 2!

Every bit as good, if not better than the first! I loved the second installment in this series (though it can be read as a standalone). The author continues to deliver an engaging page-turner with Bridger and Tia’s story.
Bridger is a “bad boy/playboy” who keeps finding himself in trouble and in need of an image change. Tia has sworn-off the bad boys but a trip with her best friend and the team drums up an undeniable chemistry between them.
This book has it all: friendship, spice, sass, laughs, and fun! The characters are likable and relatable and you’ll find yourself rooting for them! The author develops the characters and their relationship in a mostly realistic way and the tension draws the reader in. I just love reading her stories and can’t wait for more Astoria Bay romances!

I loved this steamy romance! This second book in the Astoria Bay Thunder series follows Tia and Bridger. The story picks up when the two if them meet for the photo shoot at the cabin. I really love Tia as a character! She’s not perfect and is a very strong female. Her and Bridger both can be to hard on themselves and it makes you feel their pain even more. There are also some amazingly steamy scenes in this book that would be hard not to enjoy! You can read this as a stand alone but then you miss out on another great romance.

Body Checked: A Frenemies-to-Lovers Hockey Romance is the second book in the Astoria Bay Thunder Series. This book runs along the same time period as the first read of the series, Power Play. You are introduced to Brider and Tia in book one. This book details the beginning of their relationship and brings you in to get the inside workings of how they got together. The author does a great job connecting the reader with the characters. I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Body Checked is the second book in the Astoria Bay Thunder series. I must say this book was a great and exciting read. C.J. Cartwright really knows how to keep your interest and get you invested in the story and the chemistry between the characters. The plot is well developed and has just enough twists to make putting the book down hard.
This is not your typical boy who meets a girl and they fall madly in love. Bridger and Tia meet due to a job opportunity for Tia to help her best friend with the Astoria Bay Thunder photoshoot. They both acknowledge their chemistry but not in the typical let’s get to know each other fashion.
Bridger a well-known playboy known better for his scores off the ice than on the ice had to put in a lot of work to get the girl. While Tia the highly guarded independent woman had to learn to trust a man again.
Reading about their love story and seeing it go from nothing to something was great. There were times I wanted to yell at Tia for her decisions. While other times I was fawning over how Bridger treated her. This book is the perfect combination of love, angst, and passion. When the passion flows you might just want a drink of water nearby to cool you down.

This a Contemporary romance about finding love unexpectedly, with a friend to lovers’ theme, mentor/mentee relationship, between firefighters. I enjoyed the plot and the characters where well written and the way they play off each other makes them real.

This book kept me on my toes the entire time. It was exhilarating, to say the least. Castor and Mia are an amazing couple and this being the first book I have read of the series it took me a second to catch on and actually be pulled in because it isn’t the typical book that I would read. It was amazing though, the action, the details of the characters and you could visualize it as well. Curve balls kept being given as well. You’d think the book was going to level out about 50% of the way through then nope something edging happens. Mia is a human, Castor isn’t but what they become is something that I feel you only get once in a lifetime. I can’t wait to read the next one.
