My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author and now I’m hooked. I absolutely love small town romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book in the Prentice brothers of Sweet Ridge series and what a perfect book to start this addictive series. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.

Kelly Turner loves being a florist. She is so happy when she finds out that she is going to be the lead in the town’s festival for decorations. Kelly is in shock on who she has to work with, none other than the town player Tate Prentice. She is not going to fall for a play boy ever again. Kelly already had a cheater and she knows that Tate is cut from the same cloth or is he? She quickly realizes that Tate is not who she thought he was. Kelly is starting to fall for him but is he feeling the same? Will Kelly find the man she has been waiting for or will she find herself heart broken once again?

One Hot Texas Summer (The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge)
by Nicole Flockton

I enjoyed reading about Kelly and Tate. Kelly who was hurt in her last relationship has moved to the small town where her mom lives and opened a flower shop. She hasn’t opened herself up for a relationship since her last one ended badly but she has found herself thinking about Tate Prentice. Tate Prentice is taking care of his family’s peach farm and his father, and now he has just been told that his brother has offered up their farm to be a satellite location for the town’s annual festival. Kelly and Tate are told they will be working together and the chemistry between them is off the charts. Can Kelly overlook their age difference, and Tate’s reputation? Can Tate let someone in to help carry the burden? This story is sweet, romantic, emotional, and has wonderful characters. I recommend this book.

One Hot Texas Summer by Nicole Flockton was a great read! It was a pretty quick, simple read, with great characters, a great storyline, and plot. Once I started reading this novel it was hard for me to put it down. I was completely enthralled from beginning to end. I loved some of the humor I found, it was very heartfelt, and very romantic! This is the first I’ve read from this author before, but I can’t wait to read more in the future! I highly recommend this novel.

Some old fashioned gestures will never go out of style in this modern world. One Hot Texas Summer was a sweet love story that some men need to read to get some pointers. Tate Prentice and Kelly Turner have some serious chemistry that you can feel the tingles while reading their story.

This was my first book by Nicole Flockton and I fell in love with this family of friends. I had the feeling I was missing something in the first chapter but only because I wanted to know more about Charlotte and Macy (Sweet Texas Secrets Series). I can’t wait for more of the Prentice brothers.

Shattered: Logan Book 1 by Valerie Davisson is the first book in the Logan McKenna Series. Logan is a recently widowed woman who has become an amateur detective. I really enjoyed the character of Logan and look forward to how she will develop over the series. This is an interesting mystery with a good development of the story. I also enjoyed the secondary characters who added a lot to the story. I do not want to speak about the plot because there is nothing then worse than a mystery plot being wrecked. There are twists and turns and much more in the story. I will definitely look forward to reading more in this series soon.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this heartwarming romantic story featuring florist Kelly Turner and Tate Prentice. Kelly is honoured to be asked to work on arranging the town’s Founders’ Day festival which will be held at the Prentice’s peach farm. This means that Kelly and Tate are working closely together but even though the mutual attraction is obvious, Kelly is less than impressed with Tate’s reputation as a ‘player’. Kelly has been burned before by a cheating boyfriend and so try’s to ignore the chemistry, which sizzles off the page, between them. Tate however is just concentrating on ensuring the survival of his family’s farm whilst his father recovers from a recent stroke. The longer the pair have to work alongside each other Tate hopes that Kelly will see that he is more than his reputation, but Kelly struggles to go with her instincts as she’s afraid of having her heart broken again. I loved the main characters, Kelly and Tate who were both relatable and likeable and enjoyed how their love/hate relationship developed. The secondary characters are also fascinating especially Tate’s brothers and I look forward to reading their stories in future books in Flockton’s series about the Prentice brothers. This was a feel good, light romantic story which is perfect for a summers day read.

Center of Gravity (An Ice Tigers Hockey Romance Book 2) by Isabella Cassazza – Review by Jana Teppih

Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers #2)Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Center of Gravity is the second book in Isabella Cassazza’s series Ice Tigers. The writer has said that you can read it as a standalone and I did read it without having read the first book. I love ice hockey series and I felt that I need a sweet ice hockey series and I am always open to new writers so I picked up a copy and I do not regret it all. I actually would say that read the first book of the series’ first as I kept wondering about the guys who were the main in the book one and also appeared in book two!
Center of Gravity is Emilia and Matt’s story and there was something very comforting about the story. I think it was Emilia who had not found her place in her grandfather’s high fashion world, the moments when she thought back on her life as a six year old girl and her finally finding her place and purpose and her … center of gravity that would be there for always and help her weather any storms … and then there was Matt, his successful macho hockey persona and his vulnerable betrayed by woman side and his taking a chance and finding his inner strength.
I actually really fell into this Ice Tigers universe in Boston with its colourful characters so I already downloaded the first of the series and I know I will be heading for the third book after I have finished with that!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!

Cute story. The flow was nice, the characters were likeable. Kelly did slightly get on my nerves sometimes but I loved the story regardless. Kelly owns a flower shop and Tate runs a peach farm. Both have to work together on a festival but before that Kelly assumes Tate is just a player, I don’t know why she made that assumption, maybe it was because he bought flowers once a week, but that doesn’t scream player to me. Tate falls for the 5 years older Kelly and tries to show her his true self. I understand why she would be wary of him due to her past boyfriend being a piece of poop, but sometimes you just have to go with your gut. I felt bad for Tate working the farm by himself and having to deal with his father’s condition. Their relationship is interesting to follow but the age difference being discussed constantly really drove me nuts.I really like that this was the first story starting with the youngest brother and I’m assuming there will be stories for Tyler and Trey and I can’t wait. I recommend it to any romance lover.

One Hot Texas Summer is the first novel in The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge series by Nicole Flockton. It is my first novel by Nicole Flockton and I really enjoyed it. It was a great mix of fun and flirty, but had some serious tones in it as well.

Kelly Turner is the local florist. She owns her own shop in town and her mom helps her run it. When her friend Macy is put in charge of the Founder’s Day Festival she ends up taking on a new role and partnered with the last person she expected.

Tate Prentice is the youngest Prentice brother, but currently the one with the most on his shoulders. Taking over his family’s peach farm, while his passion, is not an easy job! So when his brother volunteers his family’s property for the Founder’s Day Festival he is a bit frustrated.

Can Kelly and Tate work together? Will the small town gossip pull them part? Will the stress in each others lives prevent them from building anything real? Read One Hot Texas Summer to find out!

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened Series Book 1) by Isra Sravenheart – Review by Kerry Baker

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart is the first book in the Blackened Series. This book is a dark fantasy book that is certainly a bit of a twist on your normal story.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I definitely enjoyed it. The idea for the story was a strong one, and one that certainly held my interest. While I found that the actual story fell a little flat in a few places I thought overall it was well written and the writing style made up for this.
I enjoyed reading about character of Isra. It was nice to read about a character who seemed truly dark for once, instead of just playing at the idea. Again there were times when I thought her development needed a little work to it however she was overall an interesting character.
This was a good introduction to this author and I will definitely be reading more of her in the future.

One Hot Texas Summer was a nice easy to read romance story. The characters were likeable, I especially liked Tate; there was just something about him that drew me to him straight away. Kelly was a nice enough character however I just didn’t feel that connection with her. I did really like her and Tate together though – they seemed to have a genuine attraction to each other. I really liked their outlooks on life, they were both really hard working and whilst Tate had a bit of a reputation I could genuinely feel that he liked Kelly and was trying to leave that behind.
The story was well written and it had a good pace and flow to it. It’s the perfect summer evening read that you just dip in and out of and immediately get back into the story. This is the first book in the Prentice Brothers series so I am really looking forward to getting to know these brothers more as the series continues!

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself not able to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a book that tells a beautiful tale of love, different cultures, and includes characters that the author makes come alive with each chapter that I read. It is the characters, the differences in their lives, and how they interact that makes this story so powerful and hard to forget. My emotions went up and down the entire time I was reading this book. There are heartbreaking and heartwarming moments as well. The story is thought-provoking and challenges you to look at the stereotypes that are common in the world today. I enjoyed reading about what each of the characters brought to the book and found myself thinking about this story even after I had finished reading it. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that will have you hooked from the beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

Drawn to Him by Tammy Mannersly – Review by Karyn Taylor

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawn to Him is a great romance story by Tammy Mannersly. I’m a total sucker for a great romance story and took a leap of faith in trying out a new author (for me) in Tammy Mannersly. I’m so glad that I took the leap as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
The two main characters Dr Matthew Garrick and Erica Townsend are both fantastic characters. Matthew is the hot new doctor in town and has set every woman’s heart aflutter. Erica is the local art teacher whose art classes grow in popularity when Matthew joins.
In addition to the 2 main characters there is an excellent secondary cast, in particular Matthew’s mate and fellow doctor Nate and Erica’s best friend Seeley. Both of these play much more than bit part roles and add a great deal to the story.
It was such a nice change to read a book that is set in Australia as most books I read are set in the USA, with a few set in the UK. It was a welcome change of scenery.
I loved the story line of this book. I was drawn into the story from the very beginning and was rooting for Erica and Matthew as they seemed perfect for each other. The author keeps you engaged throughout and you just want to keep reading to see how the story ends. I’d definitely recommend.

This is a good story. I liked certain parts and others not so much. My main issue is the flow of the story. It seemed too stiff and maybe it was the tense it was written in. I just haven’t read it in a while. I feel there was also a bit too much description and not enough dialogue. That being said the story was interesting. I liked the female being a florist and the male dealing with his ill father, running the peach farm. They are different occupations that really could been expounded on. I enjoyed Kelly and Tate story. She seemed to have a few good friends to help move the story along.

I was looking forward to reading this as I have enjoyed this author’s other books. This just didn’t feel up to par. It’s a good idea.

This was a really romantic love story. I really loved the characters and how through everything that was thrown at them love grew.

Kelly moved back to her small hometown after suffering heartbreak. Since then she has opened her own business and has closed herself off to love. When she meets Tate she knows of his reputation but cant deny her attraction to him.

Tate is the play boy of the town with a different woman every week if you believe the rumours. But how many rumours are true? Is there more to Tate than meets the eye? Can Kelly allow herself to open her hear too the chance of love again?

“Logan tossed the letter back on her desk. She’d definitely landed in the City of Oz and was in dire need of a pair of ruby slippers.
Not for the first time this year, she wondered why anyone would work in the public school system unless they had a lobotomy or were working off jail time. It all started last October when, as a favor to her friend Bonnie, she’d taken a long-term sub job for a seventh grade teacher at Roosevelt Middle School in Tilcott, CA.
She’d spent the last two years since her husband Jack died wrapping up and selling the computer business they’d built together. The process had been wrenching. After paying off business debts—Jack had been more charmer than money manager—there wasn’t a whole lot left.
Truth be told, she needed the job.”

 

Shattered: a Logan McKenna Mystery Book 1 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson is a murder mystery- with action, drama, crime investigation, art community elements, Native American characters and cultural references, and more.
This is my first read by Valerie Davisson, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story- but as I love a good thrilling mystery, I was excited to jump in and get going. I really wanted to love this book so much more than I did. It should have been right in my wheelhouse and should have grabbed me right from the get-go. But it didn’t. I had trouble connecting with Logan and the other characters- which in turn made it difficult to settle in and invest in the outcome of the story.
Parts of the story felt rushed- while other parts lagged, which really disrupted the flow of the story for me. At times I felt that the story got a little off track- making things a little confusing and I found myself re-reading parts to clarify where and what was happening. But, I have had a really busy and tiring week- so maybe it was just me- so I intend to revisit this book again in the near future, to see if I still feel the same way, or whether I was just having an ‘off’ day when reading it.
As it is the first book in the series, I would be interested to read the next book, or books- to see if some of the issues I had with this story have been resolved in the other additions. I did find the crime/murder part quite interesting, as with the glassblowing/artistic element.

Thank you, Valerie Davisson!

Breaking Traditions: The Shifter And The Mage by Madilynn Dale is a sweet paranormal teen love story. Whilst the story is well written, and the plot is good, but it didn’t grab me as well as it could have. It needs more drama or action to give it that something more. The premise is a shifter and has her parents pushing her towards marriage. Alex is a Mage and works his way into her heart but is it enough for the staunch shifter community and where does it all fit with Natalie’s want of a different life?

One Hot Texas Summer (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge #1) by Nicole Flockton was a great 5 star read.

This is Kelly and Tate’s story,I was pulled right in by the authors writing and loved these two.
Tate has taken over the responsibility of his family’s peach farm and it is the site for this year’s Founder’s Day festival. He isn’t looking forward to working with Kelly who is the florist handling the flowers for the festival.

She isn’t thrilled about working with Tate either because of his playboy ways. But as they work together she starts to see a different side to him. They both have been hurt in the past so they each had some things to work through. You can feel the chemistry from these two coming off the pages.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really like how independent and strong both Kelly and Tate were. They were perfect for each other, I had some LOL moments when they would banter with each other. Of course we get some ups and downs and small town drama. If you’re looking for a great read I highly suggest this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

It is a wonderful romance book that will warm and touch your heart. I loved the characters of Erica Townsend and Dr. Matthew Garrick.

Matthew is a new doctor in town who has not found the right woman for him. Then he meets Erica. There is an instant attraction when they meet. There are sparks and chemistry that can’t be denied. Will Erica give Matthew a chance to show her how much he has fallen for her? What will happen when a secret admirer gets thrown into the mix? Will there be a HEA? Read this book to find out.

I love a good romance that has classic push and pull between the two leads from page one. Flockton does a beautiful job establishing the conflict early as we follow our heroine and the possible lady’s man that is the peach farm owner’s son. I loved the setting that this story took place in and it’s charm extended from its festival to each resident in the town. I fell quickly into this story and found this book to be an extremely pleasing and easy read. If you love a good romance, you’ll truly love this work.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Her Blackened Soul is the first book in The Blackened Series by Isra Sravenheart. This is quite an original story, with a bit of a fairytale-esque feel to it. It stands apart from other ‘fairytale’ type stories in that it is all about the ‘villain’. It is a fantasy- a paranormal romance with magic, a powerful dark witch, drama, and more.
Lady Isra is a powerful witch- with a bit of a black heart. Yes, she’s dark- but she is full of complexities which we discover along the way. She has serious trust issues, and a taste for revenge. What happens here makes for an interesting read.
Whilst I did enjoy the story, it was a little slow to get going and lagged at times though the story- disrupting the pace and pulling me out of the story. I really wanted to love this book because it is one of my favourite genres- and the premise held so much promise. But I have had a crazy week, so maybe it was just me, and so I will revisit this book at a later date to see if I still feel the same way, or if I was just having an off day.

Thank you, Isra Sravenheart!
