This is a great start to a series. Jay Batista really weaves and intricate tale. There are a lot of details and insight to the inner workings of a Viking clan. There are deep characters on great adventure. Thorfinn wins your heart as you find yourself rooting for him while submersed in Viking and Norse culture and mythology. If you are a fan of magical quests, you will be captivated by this tale.

This book was a very powerful read to say the least. It gave me thoughts that I never thought I would have, I thought of feelings and emotions I often do not even consider. The book gave me a lot of emotions, though sometimes it was hard to have these emotions as I read, I am glad that I did!
Sergeant JP Grimm was a strong character to say the least. He struck me as man that could handle everything that would come is way for sure! Even the strongest of men can fall. The emotions and feelings he had were real as can be. I felt so much, teared up a few times. What he went through and had to do to survive to make it home to his family in the war was so real, it was as if the events were unfolding right before my eyes. The author created a story that had its visual components and the words to go with it. This was a great read, and one I will not forget for some time!
Wonderful book and wonderful writing. Sometimes the hard parts to read, were the best, for the realism they possessed. I highly recommend this book; everyone should read it I believe. It is not one to be passed up or put on the back burner. It’s a very high recommendation from me, well worth a read!

Intense! Original! Hauntingly realistic! This has become my #1 favorite so far for the year. JP Grimm is a soldier returned from the war having to deal with PTSD and its real effects on him and on his family. It’s taking a devastating toll on him and his family. He and his wife are both trying to save their marriage and their family. Adin looks like the little boy that turned out to be the suicide bomber that took out his unit. JP was not able to shoot the bomber in time and is dealing with that guilt. This is the part that made the book hit you like a gut-wrenching punch. I felt all the feels. All the emotions came out when reading this book. It may be fiction, but a lot of the emotions felt are real. The research done for the story is there and you felt it. I couldn’t put it down because I was so invested in finding out what happened with his grandparents and what has going to happen next for him and his family. The plot felt so well-developed that is naturally built in. It was smooth and silky flowing. The check-ins with Richardson were always nice, even if they were sad due to realistic events (such as suicide, DV, etc.). The solar storm events, etc. is a nice add-in because it could happen, and it was a way to maybe help bring JP back to his family. It was such a heartfelt and heart-tugging story (even being a thriller). I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait for the next book in the thriller. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommend!

Illegal By K. J. Gillenwater 5* I was absolutely unable to put down this book. It is a quick, page turner romance. Wyatt is working at the U.S. Embassy when a gorgeous woman catches his eye. She has come in in an attempt to reapply for a visa after being deported. She is helped at the window by Wyatt’s coworker. When Wyatt overhears a conversation between his coworker and an unknown caller, Wyatt knows he must help this beautiful woman. Meanwhile, Selena has been deported from America and she is quickly discovering that everything she thought she knew about her mother and her life in America is a lie. She is the daughter of a major drug lord and head of a cartel. Her father has been looking for her for years. Wyatt chases after Selena after hearing the phone call and from there they travel across Mexico in an attempt to escape the danger that they think is ahead of them. Meanwhile, they form an unlikely romance. This book is one that that I really cannot recommend enough. It is filled with believable characters who are on an unbelievable adventure. I found myself rooting for Wyatt and Selena individually and for them to be together.
This is a fantastic work of Women’s Fiction that had me hooked (no pun intended) from the very beginning. It was also my first time reading any work by this author and I can definitely say that I will be reading more, especially more of this series. Grace is just one of those fantastic characters that swallow you up whole and has you totally invested in their story. I absolutely loved her whole outlook on life. She’s given up everything in life to provide for her sick mother and to bring up her sister. I love the relationships she has with the significant men in her life, Johnny her trainer and Alasdair, another fighter at her gym that she’s friends with. Both are really amazing guys but I know which one I’d like Grace to have a romantic relationship with if that’s in the cards for her. I won’t say who but allow you to make up your own mind. This is an excellent book and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

This is the first book I have read but third book in the series, even though I didn’t read the first two this book was easy to keep up with and I didn’t feel like there was very many missing pieces in the dialog.
I found the main character Bree very relatable, she has gone through a lot of really bad relationships and did not want to be hurt anymore. Although I did find this very relatable, Bree went a full 180 in the other direction, she set strict rules and high expectations for all her new prospects and I feel like this really hurt her character growth.
As she starts to venture out in the dating world again, she swears off athletes, jocks and looking for mister right AKA the one.
She really enjoys playing tennis and while playing tennis she meets her best friend Nate, who is completely and utterly in love with her. But to Nate’s dismay he has been friend zoned, not only is he an athlete he is a tennis coach. Everything Bree has sworn off.
Does she wake up and realize what she has always wanted is right in front of her? Or does she let him slip through her fingers.
Overall this was a very cute book and would recommend to friends.

The 4th book in Amy McKinley’s Mafia Elite series brings us into Marco La Rosa and Elena Caruso’s story. This story had me on the edge of my seat throughout. The author brought in a whole new experience because of the Bratva connection. The amount of secrets, the amount of suspense, the amount of action took this series to a new level. I love that each story is it’s own, but very much connected. I’ll admit this one had me dreaming about it three nights in a row which is how I knew it was a good book. Elena has been on the run for so long, she has no idea what to do. When she is suddenly confronted by her past and a man she once had feelings for you can’t help but wonder where it will all lead. Making this story even more are the secrets surrounding Katya, Nicole, and Yuri. If you love a good romantic suspense story you will love this series. I highly suggest starting with book 1 so you can get the most enjoyment from what this author has to offer.
Wow, each book in this series just keeps getting better and better! This book focused on the towns nurse practitioner, Brant who has not really had a semblance of normalcy in his life until he found his mother, Betty, took him in under her wing. The other character in this story is CC, who has grown up in a household that was more interested in drugs and having a fun time versus taking care of her which made her grow up even faster. CC is a wonderful character who is a hairdresser who appeases the community with her wonderful hair dyes and nail salon services. When these characters interact, they started to open up and let love in. This book series gets better and better with each story told! I cannot wait to see what the next story brings!

This is the second installment of the Parker Lake Novel Series, and this book was just as amazing as the first book! This series revolved around Breckin, whose husband wound up leaving her for the head cheerleader as soon as she walked across the graduation stage and Griff, the bar owner who lost his long-term girlfriend in a tragic accident that has left him closed off to the idea or notion of getting close to anyone again. Both of these characters had a lot to overcome in this book but my favorite moments of reading this novel had to involve when Griff and Breckin were spending time with his grandmother, Kelda. She is everything I long to be when I am an old lady. Kelda is an integral part of this book that helps to bring these two together in an unlikely way. If you are looking for your next fun series to read that has a lot of laughs and a great story, then look no further because this author has it covered!

I have not read any books by this author before I started reading this book and I have to say that I am HOOKED and will be reading many more to come!!! This story revolves around Annabelle, who has gone through the tragic loss of losing her grandma, the one person who has always been there for her and raised her since she was young, and a guy named Wyatt who she grew up with that is fighting his own demons. Annabelle is looking for help to tend to the farm that is left for her, and he just so happens to volunteer, and the rest is history. This is a very cute contemporary wholesome romance that I have been reading the past couple of days during my lunch break at work. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this first book in the series and cannot wait to read the other three as well as more books by this author. Her writing style is one that makes you think you are right there in the middle of the action in the story with them and not just reading the story.

These books were such a great and fun read that I was so sad to read this last one! I fell head over heels for this novel as it revolved around Karen and Brody. This story was one that I thoroughly enjoyed as it went over these two characters back stories and revealed why they are secretive, while also finding someone that they love along the way. I found myself laughing and crying along with them as their story progressed. Having the ability to read these novels and continually get information about couples that were the main characters in the other books in this series is one of my favorite things! Seeing the lives of these friends and their growth throughout the books as well as reading about crazy Kelda and Bert were truly my favorite things. I cannot recommend this book and the series enough!!

Unlikely to Tell is the fourth book in the Parker Lake series by Olivia Sherwood (Ashlie Knapp). This is a great contemporary romance series- and this fourth book makes a wonderful addition to the series. It is beautifully written with endearing characters, a small-town setting, emotion, humour, chemistry, and enough drama to keep things interesting. We get to catch up with characters we have met previously, which is an added bonus. This is Karen Posey and Brody Cooper’s story- it was great to finally get Karen’s story, and OMG I wasn’t expecting the huge revelation/s- having met her previously, she’s the quiet and somewhat reserved schoolteacher friend of Breckin’s (Book #2), and Brady is Breckin’s brother who has returned from the big smoke to his small hometown to do a bit of soul searching after fate sent him a bit of a curveball. These two connect, walls crumble, sparks ignite, and secrets are revealed- making for another wonderfully intriguing and romantic addition to the superb series. I know I keep saying it, but I really do love this series and the wonderfully endearing characters that Ms. Sherwood has crafted. This book/series not only makes for fantastic reading, but also has all the ingredients needed to make a fantastic television movie series. Happy reading!

This is yet another great book to this series. The author has created a story that is enjoyable with some truly fantastic characters at the heart of it. I was taken straight back into Parker Lake, the focus point of all the books, and if felt like I had never been away. The book is well developed and so easy to read. I was pulled into it right from the start and was invested in how it works turn out. This really is a thoroughly enjoyable book.

I have read the rest of the books in the Parker Lake set and just like the rest, this book did not disappoint. The author does a great job of continuing the stories of each of the characters meanwhile focusing on the main couple. Karen is quiet and keeps to herself high school math teacher. Karen has one close friend and that is Breckin, on the occasion Karen will venture out to hang out with Breckins group of girlfriends. She needs to stay under the radar because no one knows her story. That is the case until Brody Cooper decides to come back home for a visit. Brody has not been home in a few years because he’s been so busy at work. Broody was not sure how long his boss would extend his visit. Only in town a few days when Broody heads over to Swansons to pick up groceries and he runs into Karen. It was not a good first impression on Broody’s part. Not realizing Brooy was Breckin’s brother Karen rambles to Breckin about the horrible interaction. I really love this series of books. To watch Karen from book one and then finally get to learn her story is great. It was definitely a treat to watch Broody and Karen’s relationship blossom.

This is the fourth installment in this amazing romantic series. I have read each one and they get better every book. This was no exception. The author has quite a knack for bringing these stories to life and making them feel so realistic. That’s one of the reasons that I love them so much. I also love how she makes me laugh reading them because I can picture everything happening. This gentleman really had his hands full luring the main character into his clutches because she is a true Karen and not easy to win over. I was sitting on the edge of my seat reading some of these chapters because I wanted things to happen right then, but she kept me waiting. However, she did a phenomenal job and once they were united you could tell it was a perfect match. I highly recommend you pick up these amazing stories to read.

Manda Mellett is an amazing story teller and this one is no different. I have become a follower of the Wicked Warriors and I am in love with them all. Dwarf is an outstanding person. What he has endured his entire life due to his lack of height is just wrong in so many ways, But when he discovers that it was not a deer that ran into the road in front of his motorcycle, but a female, his protective instincts kicked into overdrive and he made sure to protect her. Even when the thing/person tormenting her couldn’t be seen.
I am fascinated with the was Ms. Mellett has combined the paranormal in this story. You must read this book to appreciate how real this all comes across.

5 Stars The Vardoger Boy (The Forerunner Saga Book 2) by Jay Veloso Batista
The Vardoger Boy is the second book in The Forerunner Saga and I absolutely loved reading it. This is a Historical Fantasy that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. It’s a wonderful written story and the characters are relatable, fun ,strong and well developed. This authors style of writing blows me away. Every book I read I feel like I get swept away on a wonderful voyage . I highly recommend reading the first book if you haven’t already as its just as good as this one. This book is packed with adventure battles,action and so much more. I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give away anything. I can’t wait for the next book and look forward to reading more from this Author.

Another fun science read from this author and again its well written and would make an excellent resource for children to encourage their scientific knowledge. I could definitely see this forming a lesson at school and the children following it up by trying to make their own ice cube necklaces. The characters are really fun and engaging and as always the lovely illustrations really bring the story alive.
Ok so this is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. Kindle is the first woman to turn Levi down and it intrigues him. When he comes across her as his new boss, he tries to get close but it doesn’t happen… until it does. I loved this book and saw that this is book five in the series. I am definitely going to read the others now.

Romance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks is her contribution to a multi-author collaboration- the first instalment in the Stargazing series, the new series of 12 standalone stories that all use the same theme as inspiration. Romance Under Aquarius is different to anything that I have read from Danielle Jacks before, and I was captivated by the gorgeous cover even before I knew anything about the story, or series. This is a wonderful paranormal romance incorporating the zodiac, Atlantis, some mythology, mermaids, a bit of a quest for treasure, friendship, true love, sacrifice, adventure, and chemistry. We get a multi-character perspective that adds to the depth and overall intrigue of the story. I enjoyed how the added perspectives gave the story extra layers and complexity. I couldn’t help but become invested in the characters and the outcome of their stories. I will definitely be exploring more of this series as the instalments are released. And as always, I am looking forward to seeing what Ms. Jacks has in store for us next. One of my favourites from this talented author. Happy Reading!

This is a truly amazing mythology romance. I really enjoyed how different this book is. It’s the perfect combination of mythology, astrology, the lost city of Atlantis and merpeople. There’s also romance which I absolutely adore. Maris has had her heart broken by the man she was due to marry. She takes off from Atlantis and finds a man drowning. She joins him on an adventure and as much as they try to fight their growing feelings for each other it seems like fate is bringing them together. It won’t be an easy feat to make their relationship work though because she is a Princess and is expected to marry someone of like status. Will Maris follow her heart or tradition? This is one unique romance that you won’t want to miss!

I totally enjoyed this story!! This book was different then what I read and do not have to many opportunities to enjoy a book with mermaids with a mix of astrology. The story unfolds with 4 points of view….. Maris, Ryn, Pasha and Kasper. I love getting a POV from each character in the chapter and fate truly brings them all together. Maris, Ryn and Pasha are merfolk where Kasper is human. Maris saves Kasper which then turns into adventure to try and save Kasper’s brother from an illness. Ryn and Pasha are mixed into save Maris. Will Maris, Ryn, Pasha and Kasper be able to save Atlantis and also Kasper’s brother?
There is adventure, deceit, choices to be made and romance all mixed in to this wonderful story. I loved it!!!

Often I read books where I find myself glazing over details to focus on the “good parts”… with this book I found it was all good parts! I was just as interested in the way all the pieces fit together as I was with the romances throughout. Danielle did a great job tying in the characteristics of Aquarius and a fun twist on a known myth.
This is the first book I read that was a romance between human and non-human beings, and I was skeptical at first, but the questions I had regarding the technical aspects of it were answered early on and very smoothly. There were seamless transitions between land and sea – with the familiarity of a timeless tale. There were a wealth of characters and the nuances between them were logical and realistic. I especially liked Owen and his ultimate surprise journey.

So when I first read the synopsis for this book I wasn’t overly sure what I was going to be reading but I am so glad that I gave it a go it really was a wonderful read. The authors writing was excellent, so easy to read even though it was a pretty complex and multi layered storyline. The author clearly had taken her time in planning to ensure that the story flowed seamlessly and it definitely did. The characters were so interesting to read about, they were all really individual but each of them great in their own way.

A book that has it all. Treasure hunts, mermaids, magic and adventure. Mythology, the lost city of Atlantis and a developing relationship between two strong characters. I enjoyed this story although I felt that there were definitely some smaller plot holes and some of the central characters really acted against who they were portrayed to be. That aside I found that I really wanted to see what happened and so I finished it in one sitting. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

When Oliver gets in trouble for climbing a tree that wasn’t ready for it, he finds himself upset and in his room thinking about what life would be like if he weren’t adopted.
Like many kids, Oliver wonders what it would be like to have a different family. Would he still be in trouble? What would his family be like? Would he have a big family or small? But just as we have all likely wondered, we’ve all come to conclude our lives would be a lot different if we weren’t where we were.
This is an adorable book about how family is what you make it and shows a great, realistic perspective of a child’s mind when they don’t get their way.
As an adoptive mother, I’m excited to share this story with my little one as he grows up and wonders about his biological family. Definitely recommend this book for families of all kinds!

Oliver is just another book in the list of hits by Wickstrom. This book was a cute and simply way to explain different reasons adoptions take place as well as a few of the feelings an adopted child may experience. It tells them everyone not just adopted child at different points in life have the same feelings. This book normalized adoption in a way that would make sense to a young child. I would absolutely take the opportunity to read as well as share this book.

I thought this was a really cute read for children! Not only is it inclusive for kids that have been adopted but it also paves the way to talk about anger issues and how to handle things when they don’t go your way. I loved the illustrations and thought they were adorable and fit the story very well. I would definitely recommend this to parents who have adopted or are considering adoption.
