A Cold Creek Christmas (Reigning Hearts, #5)A Cold Creek Christmas by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up especially when it is a holiday story. This is a warm, sweet holiday story that will not only warm your heart but pull at your heartstrings. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters from the beginning. They are connectable and truly made the story come to life. A well written story about Amber and Giovanni. She is a person who does not like Christmas and he is a single dad. They are about to be bitten by Christmas Magic for a chance at romance. They are great characters that I found myself hoping they would find their happiness by the end of their story. A story of family and love that you won’t be able to put down until the last page. There is great growth with the plot as well as the characters throughout the story. This is a must read holiday story. I highly recommend this story and this author.

This author just about killed me. All the emotional ups and downs still has me reeling days after I read this book.
I just love it when you need a good cry and a book helps you achieve it. This book did just that. I feel emotionally cleansed after this spectacular book.
After book one left us on a cliffhanger, the author game back with even better writing.
This is definitely an author I’m adding to my favorites. Dare I say this gave me Nicholas Spark feels

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus?Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a short, illustrated story that helps answer the question that parents hate to hear from their children “Is there really a Santa Claus?” I like how the author took a different approach to answering this question and decided to teach kids to keep the dream alive. I think this is a great way to make the kids aware that Santa will always be in your heart if you just believe. I loved how the author managed to use a relic not Christmas related as a symbol of believing. This could be a great way of continuing to help keep the memories of Christmas alive in all of us. I thought that the illustrations were quite beautiful. I loved that they were simple yet helped tell the story. This is a highly recommended book for young children, especially those starting to question Santa.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed how the story drew me in from the beginning. It was a wonderful tale about good versus evil. But are things really so black and white? As we delve into the story and into Ian Troy’s life l, we discover there is much more gray than we could imagine and that things aren’t always cut and dry. I recommend this book that will make you think. I also recommend 18 plus due to sexual stuff and violence.

Intriguing mystery
This is a first from this author for me and it did not disappoint. I was hooked in from the first page and kept riveted as the story unfolded. This is a suspenseful thriller mystery with romantic tension thrown in. Lexi and Xavier are well developed characters that I just could not help loving. They are raw and real and I just felt such a connection to them. The mystery was brilliantly executed too with just the right balance of suspense and action. Highly recommend.

I love the descriptive work in this book. Ian Troy ends a brutal war by conjuring the Crown of Stones and he’s left the only survivor after this use. He’s of the Shirnee race and they are addicted to magic and kept as the bottom racking. I would say this is a dark fantasy novel this is an amazing start to the series. I would recommend for 16 + due to the language used.

King Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 6) by India Kells – Review by Karyn Taylor

King Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #6)King Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th, and I assume final, book in the series. As there are 6 ‘Bastard’ brothers and this is the 6th book, added to the storyline in this book, I’m assuming that this series has now come to an end. I will certainly miss this series as each and every book, including this 6th one, have been amazing. I have been a fan of this author for a few years now and I’ve loved every single book of hers that I have read.
At last we get the story of the last brother Lazarus. I’ve been waiting for his story for a long time and it certainly did not disappoint. I really loved reading Lazarus and Sasha’s story. Having met Sasha previously when Lazarus was severely injured and she was his nurse, I just knew that their story would be a damn good one.
This author has an amazing skill of writing amazing romantic suspense novels. I love that we get so much more than just a romance story. The back story to this book, as well as the others in the series, of the brother’s vendetta against their father has had me gripped throughout the series and I was desperate to know how this would conclude.
I absolutely loved this book, and the whole series and I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us, the readers, next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christmas dream
A beautifully illustrated Christmas story about answering the question every parent faces. This story navigates the question in a slightly different way and focuses more on the belief of Christmas and keeping that belief alive rather than the magic of Christmas. The message is delivered well and the story has a heartwarming ending.

Ember's Secret (Solstice Quartet #1)Ember’s Secret by Catherine Peace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this paranormal-shifter story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed her writing style and her attention to details. This is the first book in this series and I look forward to seeing what is next in this series. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. They are connectable, strong and creative. They truly brought the story to life for me. I enjoyed their growth as well as the growth of the plot throughout the story. This is a story about secrets and acceptance. Ember is a great character and my favorite of the story. Ember and Austin’s chemistry made the story entertaining to read. What will happen between these two? When secrets are no longer hidden, will these two find their way to each other? I really enjoyed this book and it is worth the pick up. I highly recommend this book.

Fall to PiecesFall to Pieces by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is nothing I like better than a little romance, a little intrigue, a little heartbreak and a lot of heat. This story had all that and more. A masterful and mysterious web was woven and the details were very descriptive, while leaving the characters well developed. The leading lady was a feisty detective with a lot of weight on her shoulders. The leading man is the ultimate match and has a toe the line, professional manner. A myriad of emotions rolled along throughout the book and the senses were heightened by the passion, intense attraction, guilt, and a deep sense of duty and finding justice. An accomplished yet nerve racking romantic suspense that ticks all the boxes. 4 stars.

The Heart of a Hussar (The Winged Warrior, #1)The Heart of a Hussar by Griffin Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book drew me right in from the very first page and transported me back in time. This story is full of battlefields, action, a final deathbed request, romance and so many obstacles. Watching feelings develop between Jacek and Oliwia was magical. Watching it finally all click in Jacek’s head as he realized that it was always Oliwia was comical. As sometimes happens in life, it may be too little too late. He has no idea what’s been transpiring in his absence and that Oliwia is forced to make decisions she would never willingly make to keep those she loves safe. This book ends in a cliffhanger that has me counting the days until I can read the next part of this story and find out what happens next!

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is like a close friend and a casual conversation. I really love the vibe of this book. It has inspiration for any practitioner new and old alike. Her advice is like a good friend sitting down and having a casual conversation with you over a warm cup of cocoa. There are stories of the authors own personal experiences sprinkled throughout which makes the book more relatable. A lot of her tips are great for everyday life as well and can help to usher out some of the everyday toxicity that is unfortunately so prevalent in society. This is a must read for any pagan looking to strengthen their relationship with divinity and improve their personal practice.

This book was an eye opener for me. As an individual I can’t say that I have ever thought about what someone who is blind goes through in this visual world we live in. This book allowed me to explore some of the ways they experience the world and how they “see” in a different way. I loved how the author helped me to see that anyone who is visually impaired can be and do anything that they want to do. This book is a must read for anyone who would like to explore or find out more about visually impaired individuals and what they experience living their lives.

King Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 6) by India Kells. I have loved this series and I am sad its over! India Kells is one of my go to authors and this book was as great as I expected it to be. This is story of Lazarus and man oh man, he’s the perfect book boyfriend! Lazarus (Oz) and his brothers have almost taken down their father and they think they have protected everyone close to them. The one missing link is Sasha. When Oz almost died, Sasha helped nurse him back to life and the one thing he didn’t expect was to grow feelings for her. Leaving her unprotected is the one thing their dad can hurt. The Chemistry between Oz and Sasha is off the charts and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. Oz will do whatever it takes to protect Sasha and I mean anything. Will Oz be able to keep Sasha safe and will they finally let their walls down to be together? Read King Bastard to find out!

My first book by this author but it won’t be the last! Fell in love with the characters – can’t go past an alpha male who is a marshmallow when it comes to his woman. Marriage of convenience are some of my favourite stories and this one did not disappoint. There was even a sneak peek of the next book in the series at the end – that will soon be added to my tbr list!!

Hilarious fantasy adventure
I absolutely enjoyed this book. Such a fun read. Harlow was relatable and quirky with a strong sense of self. The storyline was original and well written. With a paranormal sword with a mind of it’s own, plenty of action and hints at romance there is a lot within the pages but the author delivers it with ease. A very strong series starter and I will definitely check out book 2.

What a cute story to share with older children. I just love that the book in powers older children/ pre teens to be “Dream keepers”. Passing along the spirit of Santa is a great thing to share. This is a short read and enjoyable for any age group. I sure enjoyed the story and will share with my grandson when he ask the question “is Santa real”.

So well written! Lexi is probably my favorite character and I say that because she is my idea of a heroine…..even with the odds stacked against her and pretty much everyone against her, she goes for what she wants and knows is right! So what do you do when you find a dead body on the first day with your new partner Xavier? I was pulled in from the first page and have already recommended it to friends. Solving mysteries, loss, love? Read it today.

I feel that I can relate to Harlow because she’s had a hard life like I have and she’s resilient. This book has helped me escape to a fantasy world where ai could actually pretend to be Harlow and be badass like she is and take on the world.

I was lost in this world and wanted it to continue. This writer knew what they were doing and wrote well. I’ll be reading her next book for sure.

Amazingly accurate and best activities

I loved that this book helped to engage the reader. As a person who was deaf as a child and had surgeries enabling them to become hard of hearing the things and activities the author gives to help able bodied people to understand is revioting. I believe more of this is needed. I also loved the poems as it empowered and created visual senses in the mind that were strong and you could imagine them as though you there in that moment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes, this author has created a love story that can be described as a dream come true.
The main characters are a perfect match.
The moral of the story is not just love but it is stay humble.
How would you feel if you were paid to fake a relationship?
All your worries also disappear.
This was a mix of the movie 365 days with Beauty and the Beast.
It is always great to see a happy ending.
Quite long story but it is a definite page turner.
Both dreams come true for one million dollars.
The death aspect hit me quite hard but Caspian as the main male character created a world of redemption.
This was very well written and I am excited to read the rest of this series.
This author never disappoints.
Five stars for book one, a good clean romance with an amazing fresh plot.
The development of this romance is unmatched.

This is my first time reading a book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. She’s now on my watch list and I’ll be looking for all of the other novels! This book had a great plot and it was a fun read. I finished it in about a day. The biggest selling feature was the character development. The characters were written in a way that was so realistic; their strength and weaknesses felt relatable

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is definitely a unique take on the old “magic user” trope. I liked the concept a lot, and it definitely checked the boxes for a good fantasy/adventure novel. However, the writing wasn’t necessarily my style. It’s not bad by any means, it’s just a bit much for someone who prefers fluffy reads – the whole thing gives me a sort of Game of Thrones vibe (which is a very popular series, just not my thing). The characters were complex and interesting and I thought it was a good story that started out a bit slow. I saw some people didn’t finish the book but I think if you push past the beginning, it gets more enjoyable. Definitely will be interested to see where the next book takes us!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the start.

Caspian visits his dying uncle in the hospital where he is given an ultimatum, marry or he could risk losing the company that he has worked so hard for.
Paisley is visiting her mother at the hospital where she has been in a coma for months. She is lost and doesn’t know how she is going to pay for further care.

These two literally run into each other at the hospital. There is something familiar about the woman, when he gets a closer look he realizes who she is. While having coffee with Caspian he offers her something that seems too good to be true, could she really do it?

Will Caspians plan work? Will he be able to keep his heart out of it or fall for Paisley?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. Although I didn’t care for the mean girls and how Caspians uncle treated Paisley. If you’re looking for a great romance with great characters this is the book for you. I really liked these two as a couple. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An emotional must read. I knew I had to read this one after reading the first book. I recommend reading Come Back Tomorrow before diving into this one. This book is the continuation of Will and Tori’s relationship and Will’s fight to beat cancer. In this book there are definitely challenges as Will fights for his life and Tori is there with him and for him. Although there is sadness and heartache in this story there is also hope, love, romance, friendship, and family. I found myself completely invested in their lives and had to read this book in one sitting. I am so glad that we got to see how Will and Tori’s relationship grew as they lived outside of the hospital. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Detective Alexandra Danvers is on a mission to find a child killer. Dealing with her husbands death, hostility to others, depression, and being ostracized by her department she has the odds against her. When she is newly partnered with Detective Xavier Knight things turn a bit romantic but are also fueled with suspense. Xavier is there to determined Lexi’s ability to effectively do her job, but he also ends up helping her with this case. As these 2 team up together they are risking life and limb to solve this case, but also finding that there is more to their relationship along the way.

This book was a great thriller. There were many twists and turns that you could not, and did not see coming in this story. There were also a lot of emotions attached to this book. Both main characters had a lot to overcome and you could feel a lot of the sadness from both ends.

What a great story! My 8 year old was the most captivated by this. And she says all the time, “I might be having a bad day but doesnt mean I have to make others have one too”. She always tries to find the better part of a problem than dwell on the bad parts. And that struck a chord with her in this book. Great story and loved the pictures and would have loved more!

Can two people in love beat the disease? The duo meet under the least expecting circumstances and their deep love and connection is beautiful. This book is an emotional roller coaster ride.
