I love this book. It brings so much emotion and I found myself crying in parts. It is a sweet romance story that shows you how strong love can be when life takes a bad turn and beliefs in miracles are a must. Matt and Mikaela are great characters that have been through so much and it was great watching them grow throughout their story. This author has created a story that I couldn’t put down until the end. I must say it left me with an emotional hangover, I loved it, a must read!

WTF, God?: Understanding God in the Midst of Transition by Michelle N. Onuorah is a story about the author’s personal spiritual journey and her relationship with God. It was honest, captivating and heartfelt. I think it would be hard to share this journey, as I believe one’s beliefs are so very personal, and it would be like bearing your soul to the world and for that world to have their opinion on the matter. It is a story that had me reflecting on my beliefs and my chosen path. In so little time, this author had me questioning everything. This story will make you think and will leave you grateful to have read such an honest and heartfelt story. 4 stars.

Yearning Young is the 2nd book in the amazing, Young Adult, coming-of-age, Burning Britely series by Deidre Huesmann. I had really enjoyed the 1st book, but this second book was, in my opinion, much better than the first book. In book 1 we are given the groundwork in the growing friendship between Jeff and Braeden. Now in book 2 (which is told from Braeden’s POV) Jeff and Braeden are in a relationship. From the outside, Braeden has an ideal life…rich family, top track performer, good looks. We are given an insight in book 1 that Braeden’s life isn’t all rosy but in this book we get to see the harsh, heart-breaking reality that is Braeden’s home life. Add this to Braeden’s worries about his sexuality, Braeden is a very mixed up young man with so much going on. This book has so much emotion and angst, I will have you gripped from the very beginning. Like most teenage boys Braeden can be a bit of a pain at times, but you can’t help but be drawn to him and be rooting for him as he goes through so much adversity. If you like reading the YA genre then this is a must read, however, make sure you read the first book Burning Britely before this one to get the full impact of this fabulous story.

Tales of the Dragonfly Book III: Extended Flight (Tales of the Dragonfly Romantic Suspense 3) By Tamara Ferguson 5 Stars
I have read many of this author’s stories and they always make me feel like I arrived at home. Her writing is for lack of a better word..Comforting, and I always know when I pick up one of her books that I will need time so that I can read it in one sitting because putting it down is too hard.
So far all of her books could be read as stand alones, I don’t even know where I’m at in all her stories but do know that I never feel lost.
This one was no different than the rest as far as keeping me on the edge of my seat while trying to solve the mystery of Aaron’s missing sister, and who is after Kylie. This one had everything in it, and the romance was not too much, not too quick, and never over the top.
I loved having the characters from other books being present and of course as always Crystal Rock feels like home to me.
I loved this book and can’t wait to see what’s next and I also can’t wait to put all these back to back someday and read all of her series in order one right after another 🙂

LOVE on the LINE (Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens Book 2)
by Laurie Lewis
5x a trillion stars
I will start this review with an excerpt of my review for Love On A Limb…..
“I have read so many books this year, and in my life. Ive many times read and been touched by a book and claimed that it was my favorite for that year or whatever. I can honestly, straight from the heart say that NO BOOK has ever touched me the way this book has. Books often grip me and take my emotions on a ride but this one, this one will hold on forever. Im praying I’ll someday find that she has a paperback of this book because I need this in my life and on my shelf.”
I just finished Love On The Line and reading the acknowledgments at the end is where I will start….Dear Author….your worries of falling short were unneeded…I will not say you bypassed Love On A Limb because that still sits proudly at the top of my favorites of all time, what this addition to that story did was just add a continuation of those same feelings. There are many books I’ve read in my life that do deserve a different category then the rating max we are allowed but these books sit in a category even above that in my mind.
Thank you for keeping this so so real and making me feel these emotions so deeply. I am blessed with this kind of love in my life which made my feelings and understanding of these stories that much more powerful. The care you took in forming all of these words is not even explainable by someone like me that doesn’t have the same way with words.
I’ve read MANY of this authors books and I won’t take away from how much I loved all of them but this story completely knocks me out…I’m not even going into the storyline, I’m praying that anyone that reads this review will go back and read my first review and will take my advice and pick up BOTH of these books…please do not read this one without reading the first…I will usually give in and say you could read this out of order, but not in this case…don’t do it..trust me.
I could go on for days, but will end here with a sincere heartfelt thanks to this author. You seriously have set the bar high and I can’t imagine where you will go next but I do know I’ll be the first in line when you release it.
***sigh*** I hate this is over but can’t wait to read them again and again.

Dancing Queen is a true inspiration. The main character was very easy to identify with. Her thoughts and feelings could have been mine. With that being said it is interesting how this made me look at people differently. It’s easy to make a judgement on someone but it’s harder to make a friend of that person.
I love the relationship between the main characters. The whole cucumber thing…was great! I couldn’t help but *shiver* at the thought of the first one. Ugh! I really liked Fiona but Stu? He really was the my favorite. He has a great attitude and he always made me smile. His calorie counting was crazy! As for secondary characters Diane was the best! She is quirky and an amazing friend. That’s not to say I didn’t love Lizzie, Lance and the whole rest of the cast.
The writing is so very smooth. It was easy to get brought into the plight of Fiona and Stu. I loved watching them become friends. The author does a good job of making me think one way then changing my opinion later. I really enjoyed this story.

Knights Who Won My Heart: Knights Series Book 4 By: Sonya Jesus 5 out of 5 stars
The story Knights Who Won My Heart: Knights Series Book 4 by Sonya Jesus is a new adult romance book. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down while reading. It also had me turning pages to find out what happens next. There are some thrilling moments. This is a series that has amazing characters such as Amelia. She is a young woman who is heartbroken, hurt, and confused. What does the future hold for her? Will she leave Westbrook? Then there is Hawk. He is someone who has his own agenda and plans. He refuses to let anything get in his way of the happy ending he wants with his Queen. This involves manipulation. Will his plans succeed? The other characters are familiar as they have been brought forward from the other stories in the series. Amelia is a character that I care about and want to be happy. She has faced some overwhelming circumstances and I can empathize and sympathize with her. This book has heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. Don’t miss out on the next amazing story in a series that I have loved since reading the first book. I highly recommend both the series and this story.

Captivated by the Millionaire by Nina Singh is the type of book you sit down to read and don’t put down until you have finished. For me I found this book to have an nice, easy flow to it. You are taken along the journey with the characters. I loved the fact there was a small child involved, I think it added a different dynamic to the story. As a new author to me I didn’t know what to expect from Nina however I enjoyed her writing style and the detail in the book. She is someone I will definitely look to in the future.

Tales of the Dragonfly Book III: The Extended Flight by Tamara Ferguson is a thrilling book that is sure to excite you to the end. This is a book that knows what to touch on a certain element and how to keep the progress moving. It is well written and paced perfectly. The characters were interesting and easy to engage with. I found myself backing them the whole way. This was a very enjoyable read and one I would definitely recommend you try.

Coming Home: The Sequel to Flowers in December is written by Jane Suen. It is a fitting follow on from Flowers in December, and another great and riveting story.
Coming Home is a magical story of Connor and Mary Ann, Alana and Dottie. Loss, sadness, hopelessness all feature in their story. But love is a funny little creature. You find it the oddest of places, when you least expect it. Each character has there load to carry, and the author pens it out intriguingly and smartly. A great story to disappear into, with a cast that is easy to like, frustrating at times, always giving more to their audience. A quality story that just kept getting better. 4 stars.

Goodness gracious!! Seriously couldn’t get this book in my hands fast enough or read fast enough. Every book in this series has built off of one another, delivering twists and turns around every proverbial corner. This book delivered another round of surprise and intrigue. I wanted to love, laugh, rage, and fight alongside the characters. Just when I thought I had people and things figured out I would somehow be made to consider another person, another way, some other thing. I loved this book. Hands down a riveting and engaging piece that I will gladly recommend to others.

I continue to be captivated by this author and series. This page turner is no exception, filled to the brim with an emotional tale that focuses on family and responsibility. This story felt realistic and magical, with relatable, complex characters. The plot moved seamlessly and was engaging throughout. I continue to find myself drawn to this series and this contribution was no different. Highly recommended.

I loved this book! It is a suspense, thriller with a twist of romance mixed in. I had a hard time putting it down. The characters Dennis and Samantha are great, strong and made the story come to life. Dennis is in prison and says that he has been wrongly imprisoned. Samantha lives in England but as she writes to him, she finds herself having feelings for him the more she visits him. Now that he is freed, Samantha has many unanswered questions about Dennis. Does she really want to know the truth that he may not be as innocent as he once appeared? Lots of twists and turns that kept me turning pages until the end. This is a must read thriller!
Claimed Royalty by Betty Shreffler Stars-5 I really enjoyed this story and the characters! Fiora is the princess who truly is warrior that will stand up to bullies. She is picking suitors as well as proving she can be a strong leader. Matheas will do anything for Fiora, and he means so much to Fiora. This story spins a world of love, honor, destiny, the unknown, and fighting for what you want. It is a great new series by Betty Shreffler that I cannot wait to read more of it.
This book is different than anything else that i have read recently and it was one of those books that had me asking a lot of questions about myself. This book is about a young woman and her journey through life as a person of faith and how her life isn’t going how she had planned it but God will guide her along the way. The authors writing style was great and i could easily put myself in the characters shoes. I enjoyed this book a lot and i thought it was certainly worth the read! I would recommend to a friend.

Hazed is the first book in the Hazed & Unfazed Series by Brittany Butler. This is based on a true story- with elements of college romance, opposites attract, drawn to the bad boy, secrets, lies, obsession, and addiction, all playing a part in this interesting book. Taylor Thompson thought college would bring her the freedom she desperately wanted, by getting her away from her incredibly strict father and the small town she called home. Getting a job as a waitress, introduces her to Hayze Clark, the sexy, tattooed, bad-boy bartender- who turns her world upside down. What follows can be hard to read at times- it’s intense and confronting. The characters were really well developed, but I just couldn’t connect with them like I would have liked to. It did hold my attention though, right through till the end- and the story is set to continue in the next book. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series to find out how everything plays out. Unfazed (Book #2) and Ruined (Book #3) are both available now, so there is no waiting to be able to continue the story.

Fortitude is a superb story by Carrie Dalby. This is historical fiction at its best, something I have come to expect from Ms. Dalby. There is friendship, danger, romance, racism, secret love, intolerance, acceptance, drama, secrets, emotion, honour, and is a social and political snapshot of the times. The story is set during the Spanish-American War, with Buffalo soldiers, the Jim Crow (segregation) laws, forbidden love, and the hardships, violence, and intolerance of the times. We follow Claire O’Farrell on her journey- with a Creole as her best friend and an idealistic nature, her choices in life conflict with the views of society at the time. Claire is strong, brave, strong, and full of faith- even when it puts her in danger. There were some sweet scenes, as well as more heart-wrenching, emotive, intense and chilling moments- which all served to kept me flipping the pages to find out what would happen. The story was definitely thought-provoking! I love the way Ms. Dalby is able to build vivid images with her words, bringing her story and characters to life and allowing us, the readers to fully immerse ourselves in the story. Her attention to detail is brilliant! The characters were really well crafted- given their own complex personalities that gave them believability. I always enjoy anything historical, if it’s done well- which this book certainly was! Looking forward to more from Ms. Dalby.

The Woman America Loves a Latte by Holly Tierney-Bedord is a wonderful, intriguing story that pulled me in and held my attention from beginning to end. I have enjoyed exploring Ms. Tierney’s works, and have read most of them now- this story is definitely among my favourite reads of hers. Veloura (Vee) hasn’t had things easy in life. She really needs a bit of luck on her side. In a case of mistaken identity, she ends up with her dream job- as the “face” for Caprice Cappuccino chain. It couldn’t have come at a better time- so with a guaranteed pay-check and a gas and food allowance, she sets off on her cross-country advertising campaign/adventure. But we soon find that trouble isn’t too far behind. This is such a great story. The author has written it extremely well and was quite detail oriented in her story. There’s plenty of intrigue, some mystery, suspense, drama, and more. There is quite a lot happening in the story, and I found it to be a very quick read. The characters were all fully developed and realistic- with their own individual, if not quirky personalities. I wonder what Ms. Tierney-Bedord has in store for us next?

Little Do You Know (Bayou Devils MC Book 5) A.M Myers 4 out of 4 stars
Little Do You Know is book number 5 in A.M Myers’ Bayou Devils MC Series. While it wasn’t my favorite installment in the series so far, it still made for a really good read, touching all bases I’ve come to expect from A.M. Myers. As always, A.M Myers delivers a fast paced, book with a good mix of fast paced action and page turning romance that I would most definitely recommend to others.

Burning Britely (Burning Britely #1) by Deidre Huesmann was a sweet, heart melty read, that had me hooked from start to finish.
My first read by this author, and though I have read LGBTQ books in the past, it’s still something that is a tab bit out of my normal comfort zone. I’m glad I gave this book a chance because the love story is sweet, emotional, heart melty, and heart breaking. Love is love, and this book puts it on display for all to see.
The only thing that rubbed me a bit the wrong way, was the lack of detail and scene development and descriptions. Now I do get that this book is at the 150 mark, so it is fairly short, and is borderline a novella. (Not dissing novellas, I love them, and some of my fav reads are them). I think to keep the word count down, and the characters the main focus, the world building and scene development suffered. There were times I didn’t quite get a scene, because it was told to me rather than shown, and that made some of the more important scenes lacking and at times confusing. I think if a little more time was spent on growing those key scenes, and pivatable moments, would have greatly help the overall story and readability.
As for the characters and their development. No complaints on that front, and even though our MC’s Jeff, comes across as a tool, I didn’t find him unlikeable as he was intended. As someone who is blunt, and struggles a little bit with emotions, I connected with him and got him a little then some others might. I thought he was a wonderful character, and he kinda stole the show for me. Sure yeah, the love interest was hot, and all that jazz, but Jeff, I found had the most overall growth and character development.
Overall this book is a super high recommendation from me, and it gets my stamp of approval. It’s current, relevant, and as I have said, will melt and steal your heart before you know what’s going on.
Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth is a fun and inspirational read. Fiona has always been the “fat” girl. She gets paired up with Stu in a healthy life support group. Stu has a crazy idea that the two should sign up for a dancing competition. Fiona has always been told that she shouldn’t dance because of her size. Will she stand up and take the challenge? I really enjoyed the characters and their relatability. The story is fun and deals with body issues in a light way but that doesn’t ridicule the subject. The writing is smooth and the story just flowed. I did not want to put the book down and was disappointed to see the story end. I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future.

Extended Flight by Tamara Ferguson is the third book in the Tales of the Dragonfly. This is a romantic and suspense book that can be read as a standalone book from the rest of the series. Aaron is a vet who is looking for his sister, who has gone missing. Kiley has escaped an attempt on her life thanks to Aaron being in the right place at the right time. The two have a wonderful connection that is magical at points. I really enjoyed the characters. Aaron is masculine without being overpowering and too alpha. Kiley is smart and endearing. The two of them will make your heart melt because of the connection they instantly share. I also liked the story had suspense and some twists. This kept me wanting to read more and find out all the ins and outs of the characters. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from Tamara Ferguson.

Betty Shreffer is becoming one of my favorite authors to read; every one of her books just pulls me in and leaves me wanting more. Claimed Royalty was an amazing forbidden romance with a side of great steamy moments. To me this was a different take on a royal story, instead of the guy trying to find a queen; we have a princess. Fiora is looking to become Queen but first, she has to go through trials to prove that she is strong, brave and a quick thinker, all along with finding her King. One major problem she doesn’t want any of the royals children, she only has eyes for childhood friend/Arms Man, Matheas.
So many good/bad things happened in this book that I don’t want to spoil them. I can’t wait for Twice Claimed I have to know what is going to happen next.

Knights Who Won My Heart (Knights #4) By Sonya Jesus Rated 5 stars!!
OMG!?! I can’t believe what has happened in this book. I went from shock to total devastation to WHAT?!?! This is one of those books that causes people to irritate me. ALL I want to do is sit and read this book and ignore the world until it’s finished.
This is a story that is FULL of Action, Suspense and Thrills like you CAN’T imagine! Non-Stop! It picked up exactly where the last one left off.(So snag books 1-3 and read those first). This book is pretty heavy there is not a lot of room for light heart. There are some moments but this really is all about ending the series and getting answers to burning questions. OH..and finding out who Lia chooses.
I have a special place in my heart for all these characters. They have led me through with tough times, love and laughter. I easily became emotional while reading this and have not recovered yet. I don’t want to let go of these characters. (Thank Goodness for re-reads)

This book picks up where book three left off, highly recommend reading all books first. This this installment the killer has decided to claim his Queen, Amelia, or will he? I had a hard time putting this book done, it so full of twists and turns and edge sitting on the edge of your seat action. The characters are strong, creative and kept the story engaging. Amelia has been my favorite from the beginning and the emotional ride she took me on. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this second chance romance. Not only are the characters looking a second chance love but also finding strength to move on and heal. This book started out emotional and throughout the story. Bijou and Noah are great characters plus they both have painful pasts and are in need of healing. She is trying to keep a dream alive and he just wants to heal. Will they heal each other? Their story is easy flowing and engaging from cover to cover. I highly recommend this book.

Claimed Royalty by Betty Shreffler is the first book in the Crowned and Claimed series. This book is fast paced and intense and will have you hooked from start to finish. This is an author I normally enjoy and this book did not disappoint. You are drawn to the main characters and their journey, it feels like you go on it with them. Their was a depth and complexity to everything about this book. As the first book in the series this is a brilliant way to start it. I really cannot wait to see what else is to come.
The story Fortitude by Carrie Dalby is a coming of age book that I loved reading. It is a story that takes you to a time when the societal boundaries are strict and when friendship or love that break the rules can cause scandal. One of the reasons that I found myself loving this book is the character of Claire O’Farrell. She is a young woman who is smart, independent, and strong. She is not one to conform or be told who she should care about. This story tells of her going to serve as a nurse for the Buffalo Soldiers. Her journey has her helping soldiers in need to recover from their injuries. She is a kind and compassionate person. She soon finds herself in danger and caught up in the racial violence that is all around her. The consequences of her decisions follow her home. Read this book for her full story. This is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are moments that are heartbreaking, sad, and others that made me angry with the treatment many of the characters received. There are also moments that warmed my heart. This is a story that is thought-provoking. There is intense and emotional dialogue. It is a book that I couldn’t get out of my mind even after I had finished it. There are many characters that are introduced and interact with Claire. They range from those who appreciate her hard work and those who strongly disagree with her and her actions. This is a book that pulls you in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the end. I would highly recommend reading it.
