My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful read! This story about two DEA agents trying to bring down a drug lord is fast-paced and action-packed. You don’t have to wait for the action to begin; the book starts off with a bang. The book is a page-turner. The dynamics between the characters are well-written. The book has great Christian themes and is very inspirational. I think people from all walks would enjoy this book. Clean and exciting!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Omg this was such an inspiring and emotional story. I have dealt with the loss of a pet myself and currently have a dog who is also my baby. I felt every emotion that the author went through in the love for Kingsley and their fight to keep him with them for as long as possible.
It was hard to read about their journey and the hard decisions and heartache they had to endure but it is a story that i can relate to. One thing that comes through strong is the love that the author had for Kingsley, that they were prepared to fight as hard as possible to save him but at the same time loved him enough to know when it was time to let him go.
I also loved reading about the signs and dreams the author had. I am a firm believer that loved ones that have passed use our dreams to visit us and its such a comfort. I am so pleased that there are signs that Kingsley is still around them and watching over them.
This story is beautifully written and deals with the subject of grief in a beautiful and inspiring way. Losing a pet is just as hard as losing a family member because at the end of the day they are family and the pain and grief we feel when we lose them is just as strong and real as if we lost a human family member.

Thank you Alli for sharing your story. It was beautiful.

Kally is a girl after my own heart and I just made her my best friend 😉📕❣️ I mean hello she has a coffee shop with a book nook and she makes the most delectable Greek treats so it’s like inevitable that she’s my new BFF 😂

Kally also listens to audiobooks while working and she reminds me so much of myself except I can’t bake like her and I don’t have an epic Greek family or a friend like Egypt 😉and again she likes the same music I like ! No wonder Max fell for her ❣️

So both Kally and Max have a past and there’s a lot of hurt and deceit in their lives and I feel for them and they’re really each other’s healing balms ….

Little Athena stole my heart and that of everyone else , she’s the sweetest little thing ❣️Emma wasn’t far behind 🐾❣️

Nothing beats a grandma but I think the Greek ones are the best right yiayia ❣️

I must just warn you …. The last 23% left me an emotional mess , I cried hard , well I actually howled , I curled into a little ball and just lay there to recover 🤦‍♀️🫣

I loved every moment of being part of this family and I just want to share them with everyone !!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars!

I really liked the 3rd installment of this series. The thing that was kind of disappointing was I felt the issue with the Matron from the first book was left unresolved, I kept waiting for something to happen. I did enjoy the final confrontation with the coalition. The old Vampires on the council were sick, and the way they treated half bloods, and the vampire women was just terrible. The ending was awesome, I liked the battle and the look into the future right after the battle, and how all their lives turned out. I do look forward to more books from this author.

Epic! What a great second book to the Donovan Trait series. I am in love with this unknown island with nuns that have the power to shield everyone from their location and information. Sounds like a good solid place to be. I am so happy that Shirley was safe and the babies were safe upon delivery, it is sad to think the vampire coalition lied to all vampires for centuries. Donovan’s family is amazing, rallying around him and Shirley to sand up against the coalition and let them know they are in the wrong. The ending left me dying for more! I can not wait until book three. I also hope to see if anything comes of the matron from the first book that tried to kill Shirley and Donovan. I am so obsessed with this series right now!

As Close to Perfect
By Maria Jane
5*

This is a very quick read romance that was very relatable. The characters were also so lovable. Bree has been hurt by love many times and because of this she has created a list of rules to help her from being hurt. She is waiting on the physical aspect of relationships until she truly knows someone. She has rules about what counts for dates. But her number one rule is that she is not going to date any more jocks. That is her normal type and she has been hurt so many times that she has decided that all jocks are meant to hurt her.
Bree first meets Nate when she is picking up her take out order of Chinese food. He has ordered the same thing and he lets her take his order. The initial attraction is undeniable, but Bree has ruled out all jocks, so he is off limits.
Nate reappears at her tennis club, something new she is trying to meet men. She becomes her tennis partner and their chemistry is completely undeniable. She continues to put him in the friend zone and dates a series of men that meet her lists of qualifications. However, Nate stays in the sidelines supporting her after each failed date and just as a steady support system. Is is possible that Nate might be worth breaking her no jocks rule for? Is is possible that her type is Nate? Might she have finally met her perfect match?
This book was so very good. My only complaint is that the last few chapters seemed very rushed. I would have loved to have spent even more time with Bree and Nate and the complexities of their lives. I cannot recommend this book enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

I love this book! Not only is there steamy romance there is murder and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Donovan and Shirley try to figure out who is out to kill them. I liked the twist on vampire history, it is not your standard, vampires drink blood, there is science involved that has helped vampires evolve and I found that intriguing. The ending was left open, and I can’t wait to get to the next book to see what becomes of the high society matron and to see how Donovan and Shirley’s lives progress. I am also hopeful that Donovan’s sister Marilyn has a better go in the next book.

When I first read the synopsis for this book I was really intrigued, it sounded like a book that would have me guessing all the way through and I wasn’t mistaken! This was such a good read, with some great twist and turns and a really interested story line I was really invested in what I was reading and my attention was captured from beginning to end. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I can definitely say it won’t be the last, I’m looking forward to exploring more of her work. With a fast paced and exciting storyline, along with great characters, Premeditated is definitely a book that I would recommend to other readers.

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail Order Bride by Debra Parmley – Review by Julie Johnson

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail-Order Brides SeriesIsabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail-Order Brides Series by Debra Parmley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella has recently arrived in Massachusetts by way of Sweden. She finds work in a textile mill, which burns to the ground shortly after she starts working there. Not sure where she will go or what she will do next, Isabella and a group of her friends start looking at ads for mail-order brides. Isabella starts writing with a man named Donald Jenks and it’s soon decided that she will meet up with him. Having already faced a lot of tragedy in her life and hearing her grandmother’s warning about how bad things happen in 3’s, Isabella is a little apprehensive about this trip to Ohio to meet her likely future husband. He sounds great on paper…has the perfect house, a great job, good life goals…everything a girl who had nothing could desire. Will this be her picture perfect marriage?

I love reading mail-order bride books!! They are some of my favorites. In a way, I liken it to a more modern trend of internet-brides….one of which I am! I met my husband online and we dated for a short time in real life before marrying. I went through similar emotions that Isabella experienced, only in a more modern time frame for sure.

There were a couple of unexpected twists in this book but ones that made the story much more relatable and realistic. The characters were very well developed and likeable (well, most of them were…). I understand that this book is part of a 50 book series. I’ll have to read some of the others in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a truly lovely and heart-warming story. This is such a great way highlighting the feelings adoption can bring up. It shows that it is a normal situation and helps kids to understand it a little more. Even beyond that the story itself is just enjoyable. My daughter loved reading it and I found it to be engaging enough for me to enjoy it with her.
This author isn’t one I had read until recently but she is definitely becoming a favourite in our household.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No Pistol Tastes the Same (PTSD Disaster Book 1) by Jacob Paul Patchen. This is my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. I loved this book. It was so very emotional. Its the story of Sergeant JP Grimm who has watched many of his friends die. The child in the suicide vest reminded him so much of his son. When he returns to his wife and son things are not the same. His relationship with his son is totally different. His relationship with his wife is falling apart. JP is shutting everyone and everything out. The guilt and shame he has after seeing his whole troop die is indescribable. This story is filled with so much emotion. Living with PTSD must be horrific. Will he be able to put his life back together or will he lose everything he cares about. Can he patch up things with his son? Will he be able to let his wife in so they can repair the damage done? This book was so good I didn’t want to put it down when I started reading it.

Finding Starlight: A Small Town, Romantic Suspense (The Quimby Grove Series Book 1) by Shannon Nikole – Review by Tanya Wall

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove #1)Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

What a sweet story! It got me hooked when the setting included a bookstore – Starlight Books! The characters are likeable. Ellawyn, Beckett, Max and Benji are the kind of people I’d like to hang out with. A love story with some twists and turns set in a small town where community looks after one another.
While Ella and Beck are the main characters, I was drawn most to Benji. His personality, desire for Ella and Beck to hit it off and the way he faced his illness made me want to go be by his side throughout the story.
I do wish that the story went a little slower – things heated up way too fast for the real world. But all in all, this is a great summer read with a little romance, lots of emotions, and great friendships.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading this book, I found myself tearing up for Alli and family, which includes Kingsley. Our animals are part of the family. He was her baby and when he was diagnosed with Cancer that was heartbreaking. Sharing her vulnerability about having to make decisions about his care and not being able to discuss them takes a lot. I appreciate her sharing all that. Opening her heart and her family with the world may help others. She went through so many struggles during this time. The extra 9 months she got with Kingsley gave them both some quality time to spend together. This is a book I’ll treasure. It is sad yet heartwarming. Lessons can be learned from heartbreak. Kingsley taught so much in his short life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the third book in the series. This is one of my series. It is unique, original and very engaging. I am a fan of all things Celtic. I usually have to have a dictionary near me to look up some of the words used but then I’m learning new things (educational 🙂 win/win). The characters are so full of personality. Not only do the accents crack you up but the fact that they are time travelers make it so unique that you can’t put the story down, you have to know what’s going to happen next. The author does such a wonderful job of researching the history and incorporating it into the story. Fresh and engaging, this story is still fantastic. The drama will keep you on the edge of your seat. What will happen? You are going to have to read to find out. I was thrilled to see there will be another coming after this. Still a favorite series. I will always recommend. Can be read as standalone or in series order.

Devil’s Breath by Lang Johnson – Review by Sara Grantham

Devil's BreathDevil’s Breath by Lang Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right from the first chapter, this book was dark and sultry and addictive. This isn’t your typical romance novel – it has drugs, murder, betrayal, secrets, lies, and pain. But it also has longing, attraction, lust, and love. All of the feelings in Devil’s Breath felt organic. It was not over-the-top cheesy, but it still showed an instant connection between Cassius and Sera that only kept building and deepening, even when that made everything more complicated. After all, nothing is easy when you are falling for someone you are meant to kill.

Great start to the series. Lots of twists and turns along the way to continue into the next book.

Remington has been in love with his best friend’s sister since they were kids, only he didn’t realize it until she made a recent reappearance back in his life. Out of deference for his friend, Remi tries to fight the attraction. Audri grew up with Remington always there. He is just like the rest of her brother’s friends, right? Not anymore. Audri is noticing him in all kinds of new ways.

As the past comes for both of them can they fight their fears to find a way to each other? It will be great to see what happens in the series!!

Donovan the three year old vampire lawyer is back! This time there is war raging between the Half Bloods who are fighting for survival and a place within the Vampire Nation who treat half bloods cruelly.

While this war is raging, they also have to be careful not to let it be known to the humans.

Donovan and his family are fighting the Vampire Coalition that wants them dead.

I haven’t read the second novel but this was also a run read but it was just as suspenseful as the first novel. There felt like there was so much at stake and I was on the edge of my seat as I read.

I will need to go back to read the second novel and find out how Donovan and their characters found themselves fighting the Vampire Coalition but I also hope we see Donovan again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful story that easily held my interest. I love mail-order bride stories as they are from a time that seems so foreign to me now. Yes they are fairly predictable but the chance these women took is amazing. In here we meet Isabella who is young in age as well as maturity. Her adventure begins and she goes through a few ups and downs including some scary moments especially once married. I could feel her desperation and worry but she was resigned to make the best of it.

Overall this is a good story that I enjoyed. It isn’t flashy or highly emotional but its everything I would expect from this type of story. I connected with Isabella as she struggled through on her journey. This is a first time author for me. The writing is good and the flow is nice.

This book takes you on a roller coaster of events and keeps you guessing right til the very end. Took me by surprise. The writing is good and I was quickly drawn into the story.

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series (A Dark Sparrow Novel) by India Kells – Review by HELEN DAWKINS

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book SeriesDark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Absolutely best series/box set ever! The series includes 6 books, starting with Lost Bastard, then follows Cold Bastard, Wild Bastard, True Bastard, Dark Bastard, and King Bastard. I highly recommend this box set. What is better than getting all of the books in one set? The books are romantic, steamy, and action-packed drama. Each character went through their own trials, but the family always sticks together to fight their evil father.

Book 1
This book was a serious page turner, and constant mystery of “what will happen next?”. The book is based off the mob/mafia underworld and the twists and turns are bountiful. The character building is amazing and it’s very easy to get attached to each character. Literally no one can be trusted. Deva is on the run from her father because she was sold off to the underworld. She has now started a new life as a physical therapist, that is until a favor is needed to be collected upon by the woman who rescued her. Beatrice runs a “company” called Purgatory and she refers to her agents as “Dark Sparrows”. She has called upon them to help out a friend, Lazarus King, to help find and protect his “bastard” brothers his evil father has “sired”. Deva is definitely an amazing badass woman, but everyone has that something to make them tick. First of the brothers to be found is Alexksei, who ends up being Deva’s weakness. A brilliant first book to an amazing series.

Book 2
The second book was filled with steamy romance and action. Zoe is such a strong and independent woman; she is also an excellent translator. She comes to work for a man named Archer as a “Dark Sparrow” and the intensity is insane between them. The “evil father” Finch is more active in the background in book 2 than he was in book 1. This book is a little on the darker side of romance. Has lots of unexpected events.

Book 3
This book is all about second chances with Kai and Izzy. There are an immense number of secrets between the two of them, which slowly drives them apart. Again, the book had a good mix of romance, action, drama and danger. Kai is a strong alpha and Izzy is his weakness, and after bringing him to his knees, he vows to never let anyone, or anything affect him that way again. Izzy is the owner of a PR firm. She is approached by Jamison Finch (the evil father) to help him, but she does not know if it is a good idea to work with him or not.

Book 4
“True Bastard” is between Liam and Catriona. Liam is headstrong and determined to be absolutely nothing like his father. He will do anything for Catriona even though his mind pulls him to do something different. Catriona has a heart of gold, and brings happiness to everyone she meets, she is also a Nun. In this book a bigger picture is given on the brothers and the past and present father issues.

Book 5
This book will invoke insane feelings of anger towards Finch. Ellie is a 911 operator, and on the brink of an emotional and mental crisis. Sam’s past is a large focus in this book. The accidental call that Sam makes to Ellie may actually be what saves them both from utter turmoil or will be the cause of their destruction. Dark Sparrows are not used in this book, and you do not hear from Gabrielle at all.

Book 6
Excellent ending to the series. Finally, you get more of a glimpse of Lazarus and what may or may not be his happy ending. Sasha is an independent woman, but Lazarus seems to think she needs constant protection. The ending is a little anti-climactic BUT wraps up the story in a nice bow. This is a must read.

Love is Worth Fighting for is the third book in The Meraki Series. This is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that once you start reading its hard to put down. I recommend reading the first two books if you haven’t already but it can be read as a standalone. My emotions were all over the place and at times my heart was broken. This is a frenemy you don’t want to miss. This is Krystina’s story . She kinda has known what she wanted to do with her life and how go achieve it but her pesky frenemy being around is a bit frustrating. But when something unexpected happens she starts to see him in a different light. What will happen when she lets her feelings get involved? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author. This is another incredible read by this author.

This book was absolutely gorgeous! I loved seeing how the characters grew and changed, taking risks and doing what they felt they needed to do to save each other and their community. Pasha and Ryn were such fun characters to see build their relationship and grow to understand each other more. Kasper and Owen’s brotherly love and Kasper’s perseverance in trying to save Owen was beautiful. When the author added Maris into that mix, it was amazing to see the bonds she had with all of the characters, but especially with Kasper. I adored the fantasy and it was just altogether an amazing journey to take with all of these characters.

Vive la ResistanceVive la Resistance by Seelie Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! I also love this author!
Vive La Resistance! I say that with authority as if I’m involved. Because that’s exactly how this author makes you feel. That you are the half-breed fighting to survive!
Donovan Trait is back! He’s one of my favorite Vampire character’s ever written, but I digress. We are at war, the Coalition vs Trait’s. Well it started out that way. But as you read through book three in the Donovan Trait series, you begin to realize it’s bigger than revenge and silencing the Trait’s.
Now don’t take me saying war lightly because yes there may be some fire power, this is more cyber and technological warfare. Headed by the Lynx, he and his team find a way to get the messages out to half breeds. First starting with subliminal messages, then creating an app for protection, as well as creating units of humans to unknowingly keep the half breeds safe.
Do they succeed?
What other obstacles present themselves?
Who will come out the victor of this war?
Just a few questions and as you read I’m sure you will have others.
Also another big theme throughout is vampire infertility, and why all the sudden one day it ceased to exist.
The author does a fabulous job tying the two themes together in an unexpected way. She has a knack for that type of writing. It keeps you interested and guessing. You will not want to put this book down. But you must start at book one if you haven’t, it will be so worth it! I guarantee you will fall in love with Donovan Trait just like I have!

This was my first read in the series and of this author. The writing in this book is good. The details that really draw the picture for what you’re reading is so descriptive. I was a little lost at the beginning because I didn’t read books 1 or 2. But this book is so good I quickly got adapted to what was going on. Even though this is a YA book, it seems like a YA novel that doesn’t “baby” down the book if that makes sense. It’s something that my younger self would’ve also enjoyed.

On top of the shift, Nolan is not so patiently waiting to find his mate.
While training with the other pack, he becomes best friends with the Alpha’s son, Sawyer. Sawyer doesn’t see Nolan as a small and weak man. He treats him with respect and tries to better him in every way. Sawyer’s little sister Amora has also become a good friend to him. Between him and Sawyer, they don’t let anyone bully her. The boys are becoming stronger, faster, and smarter. They are doing what needs to be done in order to rule over their packs in the best way possible.
