This story has an intensity and feeling of realness that could be scary. It feels like a story ripped from the headlines. People are ending up addicted or OD’ing on their medications. Grant and Josh from the DEA catch the case. Greg and Anne are an engaged couple that end up helping. The problem is that Anna has ended up hooked through B12 shots. The story is full of mystery, secrets and some aren’t who you think they are. I love it! The characters all felt separate and had their own either creepy or good personality. They could be people you bump into on the street. They are so relatable. The plot runs smooth with some twists. My favorite interactions are among Grant and Anna. They are friends but their interactions sound like siblings. This was a book I could not put down. I had to find out what was going to happen next. Excellent book that I definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed reading this book! Chloe is a headstrong but compassionate person who cares so deeply about her family. I adore her as a character. The author did a fantastic job of creating the world and illustrating it with their words. I would love to go see Faerie and was fascinated from beginning to end of this book. Quintus is also very headstrong but with such a genuine care for his home. I would love to meet both Chloe and Quintus and talk to them about their different experiences.

Moody – Review by Jo Frizzell
Everything to Me is a book about Kendall, a successful marketing associate who is in love with her brother’s best-friend, Pete, a professional baseball player. Kendall had a crush on Pete since she was a teenager, but he has never seen her that way. She tries to push her luck though when invited to stay with him while she is on a work trip in his hometown. Very quickly the two of them have chemistry, but Pete is nervous about this chemistry because he knows his best friend would kill him for sleeping with his sister. However, how can anyone resist a beautiful, intelligent, and cunning woman like Kendall – she basically persuades him a secret fling is a good idea. Is a secret fling ever a good idea, especially when feelings were already there? Will he have those same feelings for her? If he does, will his past allow him to enjoy those feelings? Is she worth losing his best-friend over?
I just loved this book for so many reasons. One, this is one of my favorite tropes – brother’s best-friend, plus it was a quick read. Two, the characters are so loveable. The banter and playfulness between them is authentic. Also, I am not a girl who really enjoys a slow-burn – well, this was far from it. Within the first chapter, shit is laid out on the table and we are moving!!! The chemistry between Kendall and Pete is amazing! I would love to read more of this author’s work!!

This is book 2 of the series but can be read as a standalone. The characters Pete an Kendell were so fun, witty an provided steamy details in the bedroom! All the while hiding it from her brother Ryan. That always makes it that much more fun but dangerous. What happens when he finds out? Must read to find out…

This fantastic author presents us with wonderful, strong heartfelt characters, a fun storyline and enough steam at the right moments to keep you completely hooked from start to finish. What a great book! I loved the characters Pete and Kendall and going along with them every step of the way through this fun and at times emotional story. Their chemistry was absolutely off the charts! I am definitely going back and reading book one while I excitedly anticipate more from this awesome series.

This is an amazing dark romance with a twist. Sera is sent by her father to fill Cassius but once she lays eyes on him she feels herself being drawn in. The chemistry between the two of them is unbelievable and as much as they both try to keep their distance it’s not possible for either of them. There is so much action, and suspense and twists and turn mixed in with all of the heat and romance that I was absolutely glued to this book! Sera has a huge choice to make, love or family? Will she follow her heart or turn her back on love to please her father? This is one book you are absolutely not going to want to miss and I can’t wait to read more from this amazing author in the future!

I could not put this book down. Its been a long time since I fell this in love with a book, but this one hit the money spot! Sera was an amazing female lead, and she did not back down in her professional life or personal. Together she and Cassius take you on an emotional and mysterious rollercoaster ride in which you don’t have a clue where you will end up. Cassius is this successful billionaire who likes to leave on the edge, and had quite the past . Together they had insane chemistry with perfect mixtures of drama, angst, lust, love, deception, and twists that you never see coming.

This was a beautifully written novel with everything you need! There’s action, romance, espionage, and family drama. I absolutely love the main character, Sera. She is a strong woman who has built herself up with a horribly broken foundation. Her best friend and sister by choice, Raine, is almost the same. They have become crime lords of the first order. The only “weakness in their operation is Sera’s father, Lorenzo. He’s an abusive and manipulative man who could destroy everything. Their most current job involves Cassius, our “Romance novel cover” leading man. He has a penchant for the extreme and he knows things are shady in New York, but when he meets Sera, he’s met his match. When your past and your future collide and you have to choose, which way will the characters go? I highly recommend you read this and find out.

This was a really enjoyable read and was such more than I expected. The author does an amazing job with the character Grace. She is strong willed and very determined. She also keep her emotions in check. She is always the strong one and since her fathers passing it has been down to her to support her family.
The reader reads and feels the struggles Grace goes through as she battles to keep her family alive and ensure their survival while dealing with the knowledge that she is going against her father’s wishes by fighting.
We follow her from illegal underground fights to earn money for her family to survive to becoming a UFC fighter. Along the way she will meet people who will allow her to feel like part of a family which she desperately needs. Grace is a very strong, determined woman who comes over all the odds to achieve her goal of supporting her family.

Well this story was not what I expected at all – Grace is probably hands down one of the best female leads I’ve read about in a story for a very long time, she was just amazing to read about. Her inner strength as well as her physical made her such a unique character, I’ve never read anything like this book before and apart being really well written is one of the reasons for the 5 stars, It was so incredibly refreshing to read something different. Apart from Grace who I just loved there was also a few secondary characters who were just as wonderful to read about and I loved the connection that they all had with each other. I am very excited to read more from this author and series in the future and would definitely recommend this 5 star read to other readers!

This is actually 4.5 stars!! I never thought I’d enjoy a book about a MMA fighter but I wanted to expand my reading genres so I reached out for this one. I’m so glad that I did!
Grace is a 20 year old underground fighter. She’s been fighting her whole life. Her parents are illegal immigrants to the US and her mother has schizophrenia. When she was much younger, Grace’s dad died. It’s not initially known the details but plays a role in Grace’s thoughts about fighting. Grace is left to defend her younger sister and mother. Having to hold down 3 jobs just to support them, Grace really has no time to herself and has never done anything for herself.
When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes around, Grace can’t refuse it. She knows what this could mean for her family…good or bad. She’s a fighter and she’d bound to prove it!
There are elements of romance in this novel but nothing that screams romance novel. It’s all very subtle and I found myself rooting for a certain someone. I would love to read more about Dar, Mason, and Lizzy’s characters and I hope they will get books of their own!!

Terrific glimpse into the mind of Bree, a young woman, trying not only to find her place in life but trying to find love in a world of heartbreak. I truly felt that I was in Bree’s head, understanding all her fears, her guilt, her emotions, her thoughts, her anxiety, her everything.
Belinda Marie “Bree” Simmons just gave up her corporate job to teach high school science and coach basketball. Bree is still unsure about this job, this choice but is doing her best. Bree is coming off the 2nd heartbreak in a row when she meets a tall, pale, blue-eyed stranger with a ‘Dracula’ accent. When Nate Vasiljeva bounces into her tennis club, Bree awkwardly tells him that she isn’t dating.
Nate decides that he and Bree are going to be friends. Bree makes sure that Nate knows that they could never be anything but friends on a regular basis. Bree fights her growing feelings for Nate because she refuses to believe he could be the one for her. You can feel Bree’s struggle with her emotions for Nate.
This was an easy, gentle read. Not bad for a relaxing weekend.

Great read. At first I didn’t feel the least bit sorry for Levi and how his life was going thus far. He made his own bed. I can understand losing someone you thought was the love of your life and the way he did could be heartbreaking but, some time has passed, move on, grow up. Kindle and Levi are great together, and I am really happy to see him thriving and bettering himself finally. My favorite part of the book is the character Claire, it blows my mind how much of a psycho and how full of herself she is, it had me cracking up a couple times because of the lunacy that is her.

The science that is taught and the little snippet at the end about water is wonderful. I like that we can teach kids these things even at a younger age than they would normally learn them. The artwork is beautiful and the story of making holes in the ice cubes to make a necklace for Trezzie the mermaid is fun. I know as a child I always wished there were mermaids.
What a compelling, beautifully written story of the impacts of World War II and the portrayal of women during this time period. The protagonist, Margaret starts off as a teenager when she starts contemplating what kind of life she would want to live.
The family pressures at a young age during this time period can take a toll on a person as expectations of marriage to start their own family is expected according to their parents’ wishes. Margaret already feels there is more to life than being expected to be a wife. When one of her younger brothers experiences an accidental fall, she takes charge of the situation to make sure he gets immediate help. Once they reach the doctor, he comments on her amazing stitching skills and ends up taking her as an apprentice at his office, where she is exposed to so many aspects of nursing.
Along with her own family experiences and situations, her love of nursing continues as she struggles to provide and be a devoted mother to her children. Even though this theme of a working mother is a common occurrence presently, it is great to hear of a story of a woman forming her own path to do so amidst life’s troubles. This is such a great,easy read!

Squid is the fifth book in the Moto X series by Brooke May. As with the rest of the series, this is a very enjoyable contemporary romance- with chemistry, drama, self-discovery, finding love unexpectedly, reforming wild ways, character growth and development, banter, and some emotion. This is the fifth book in the series, but it could easily be read as a standalone. Having said that though, you will probably want to get your hands on the entire series to binge on- because one book won’t be enough to satisfy your Moto X appetite. Brooke May has a talent for creating interesting and endearing characters who are fully realised individuals with their own unique quirks and flaws. It was so easy to connect with Levi and Kindle- and I was quickly invested in them and the outcome of their story. Can’t wait to see what Ms. May brings us next! Happy Reading!

This was a very easy to read book with colorful illustrations. Caspian, on his “un birthday” gets two gifts from his grand dad, a hat, through which he can hear other’s thoughts and a unique stone, which helps him solve problems. But is it really rewarding to hear what other’s think? Caspian has an adventurous journey with his two gifts and the kids and we as parents can relate to the journey. Loved the book, recommended for kids, especially early readers.

An engaging, suspenseful novel that I would highly recommend! Lied to her entire life Selena Hernandez’s world has just been turned upside down. From the time she was a child Selena thought she was a legal citizen until her mother is arrested and learns the truth about her life. Selena returns to Mexico thinking that’s the only option. When she arrives in Mexico she learns about her birth father and how important he is in Mexico. A book that shouldn’t be put down till the very end.
Illegal by K.J. Gillenwater is a heart-pounding, riveting read! Once I started reading, it was impossible to put down.
Selena finds herself alone in Mexico, the country she was born in but doesn’t remember living in. She grew up in Arizona, thinking she was an American citizen. That was just one lie her mother told her. Her goal is to do what she needs to do to get back to her life in the US. Little does she realize that everything she knew about her life was a complete lie which puts her life in grave danger. Thankfully, a chance encounter with handsome stranger, Wyatt, saves her life in one instant. Now, they both are in a fight for their very lives, thus putting them on a journey of not only survival but truth and quite possibly love!
Wow! As I wrote in the earlier paragraph what a riveting read! Gillenwater did a phenomenal job of balancing romance, suspense, and drama! My heart went out to Selena. Everything she thought she knew about her life was a complete lie. I’m not a reviewer who likes to bring politics into reviews because I read books to escape things in the news, but this one really made me think alot about the children who have been essentially raised in the US and know nothing about their birth country and suddenly finding themselves facing deportation. It was obvious she was a foreigner in Mexico too. As the author wrote the following passage, my heart just broke for her.
“Or was she American? What exactly made someone American anyway? A look? An experience? A certain length of time living in the US? These questions had been ping-ponging around in her mind for a couple of weeks, and she had no answer?”
Not only was this a journey in discovering who she really was, but now she had no idea who the strangers were who were after her, and whoa, when she discovered who she really was, what a shocker for her!
Wyatt has quite a dark past himself…a dark childhood, and he is learning some things about himself as well in his quest to keep her safe all while falling helplessly and hopelessly in love with her.
There was nothing I didn’t like about Selena and Wyatt’s story! They were complicated and complex characters who just kept growing and evolving. The suspense and twists kept me turning the pages as well! If you are looking for a great romantic suspense with some great human lessons within the pages as well, this one is a winner!
This is a Young Adult genre story, This is not my first story from this author. I love reading her works because of her story-telling abilities. She has the uncanny way of grabbing me from the first page until the last word of the book. Her characters are fully developed and complex in nature. This book is no different. In this book, Chloe loves being in the mortal world and not so much in the Fae world. She is a healer and likes the normal pace of the world. Unlike her sister, who loves adventure and the Fae world. Chloe has found out that there is humans holding her sister and other Fae by iron to hold the Fae world hostage. Will Chloe go and help her sister and the other Fae? Will she accept this adventure? I highly recommend this book to seek out the answer to these questions and more.

What an amazing fast paced sports style romance, throw in an out of bounds relationship (brothers best friend) and it brings a twist to the story. I found this an engrossing and relatively quick read (this means I did have a book hangover the day after starting it, as it is hard to put down). We follow Kendall and her teenage crush Pete who is also her brothers’ best friend and team mate. Can she work her feelings out of her system whilst staying with him? Can Pete manage to keep his emotions out of the mix and continue to have a close working relationship with Kendalls’ brother Ryan. Kendall follows her feelings and after her job has finished she moves home, but has not manged to get Pete out of her system. We follow their relationship as it builds and blossoms until her brother finds out. Fast paced and the characters grow into likeable images and you just wish them a happy ever after.

This would have to be one of my favorite books at the moment! Sadly, I was not able to read the first book in the series but I’m So Thankful that I was able to read this book without having to read the first one. It’s a standalone. It’s a smart and sexy best friend sister sports romance. She (Kendall Graves) is off-limits, but this pro-baller (Pete Saunders) has never been one to follow rules. Kendall has always been in love with her brother’s friend for as long as she can remember. She has always just been his buddy’s annoying little sister. Until here recently. When a professional baseball player agrees to let her stay with him while she’s in town, it never occurred to him she’d tempt him to break bro-code. Rule number 1- don’t touch your friend/teammate’s sister. Rule number 2- see rule number 1. I highly recommend this book to anyone love loves reading sports romance. I’m excited to see what the author has instore in the coming future.

Sera Dwari is an amazing chemist, she is about to revolutionize the drug industry with her creation, Devil’s Breath. She is also an assassin., Sera is tasked with killing billionaire Cassius Batista. Cassius knows there is something off with Sera, no one is this perfect. They fall for each other and Sera must choose between family and love. I loved the premise not the execution, I wanted more. I wanted more of the drug world side of things, I felt it was introduced then put to the side. I would have also loved more physical connection between Cassius and Sera but the emotional connection was intense. The book was well written and the characters did come to life I would recommend this.

Wow where to start with this book. It is definately a story that you start and completely lose yourself and time flys by. The author does an amazing job with the characters and this story has a mixture to suit everyone. From action and danger to romance and emotions that the reader feels every step of the way.
Sera is a trained assasian who always gets what she wants. She is also amazing with chemicals and she creates a drug called Devil’s Breath which is set to hit the streets and become the next big thing. From the outside she seems every bit the cold hearted assassin that cares about no one or nothing.
Then we have Cassius. Cassius is the rich business man who is funding (unknowingly) the front for the company to make Devil’s Breath. But because of that he is on Sera’s radar and now they just don’t want him to fund the company they want his entire fortune which means he needs to go.
But there’s one snag that Sera didn’t see coming. How is she supposed to kill someone she has fallen for? Will the connection and feelings between them be enough to save Cassius? Or will the appeal of his money be worth more to Sera than a man to love and who loves her in return?
