Linked: Can Empathy Save the United Terrestrial Democracy? by Gaia B. Amman – Review by Sheri Schrader

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Linked: Can Empathy Save the United Terrestrial Democracy? by Gaia Amman is a sci-fi, dystopian tale. Naira is the main character and she finds out she has some special abilities. The problem is she somehow ends up having to be a team with her enemy. Can this help her accomplish her goals of eliminating the President?
This is a fantastic read that kept me reading and wanting more. I like that Amman used her biology background to help with building the story. This helped keep it grounded and not get too far out. This grounding also allowed the characters and story to be familiar on a grand scale. There are similarities that are the very clear as you are reading to current day societal issues and figures in society. The characters are kept in the gray. This is true to real life because often we are presented with gray areas not black and white. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more in the future from this author.

A Wicked Earl’s Widow (Once Upon A Widow Book 2) by Aubrey Wynne – Review by Emily Brockschmidt

The Wicked Earl's WidowThe Wicked Earl’s Widow by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aubrey Wynne is at it again with “A Wicked Earl’s Widow,” the second book in the Once Upon a Widow series. I unfortunately read these books out of order, but I don’t feel it took away from the book at all. Each story, while having some overlapping characters, are basically standalones and fine to read in any order that I’ve seen so far. In this book we meet Lady Eliza who was forced to marry, as most young women of more noble blood are, Conrad the Count of Sunderland. At his passing soon after their marriage, she is left pregnant and praying that she is safe from her abusive father. Years pass and she is in danger, so she flees to her cousin Grace’s home. Along the way she meets the handsome Nathaniel, Viscount of Pendleton. While Eliza’s story is not an entirely happy one, the story that Aubrey Wynne has created is lovely. I really enjoyed reading about this era and how high society worked back then. The main characters are such a treat to read about even down to the appropriately named blood hound, Cyrano. Nathaniel is a proud, brave man who will do anything to protect those he cares for and makes for a wonderful hero. Overall, a great book to read! Parts of it were a bit upsetting, but it only goes to show the resilience of the characters. So, I give “A Wicked Earl’s Widow” five stars!

Taming the Troublemaker (The Hills of Texas Book 3)
By: Kadie Scott
5 out of 5 stars

The story Taming the Troublemaker (The Hills of Texas Book 3) by Kadie Scott is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that I loved reading. It hooked me in from the beginning and I found myself lost in a wonderful book that I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Autry Hill and Beth Cooper. Autry is a man with a reputation when it comes to women. He loves the family ranch and doesn’t think twice accepting a challenge of no women for six months. Winning this challenge will mean that the ranch is his. He believes that the challenge is an easy one. Then he meets Beth. Beth is a teacher. She loves her job. She is intelligent, strong, and caring. She knows about Autry’s reputation and when their paths cross, she knows she shouldn’t get involved with him. There is an attraction between them that is undeniable. She starts to see a different side of him when he works with one of her troubled students. He, however, doesn’t do relationships. He finds that he can’t get her out of his mind. Read this book to find out what happens. I enjoyed reading the bantering back and forth between Autry and Beth. There are other characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about them and the part that they play in the story. There were moments that touched my heart and gave me a warm feeling. This is a wonderful book that I would recommend reading.

Seraphina's Revolution (Seraphina #4)Seraphina’s Revolution by Sheena Hutchinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The biggest war the spiritual world has ever seen is about to begin.”

Seraphina’s time has finally come! This is book 4 in the Seraphina Series. And what an ending this is! This series has been watching Seraphina’s change and growth while she learned to literally take on the world.

Characters from the previous books have returned to help and hinder Sera. In fact, each book picks up where the last one left off. Hutchinson’s world is filled with Angels, Demons and creatures both good and bad, which makes this book and series a must read.

Hutchinson’s writing style through out this book (and series) is easy to read, IF you have read the previous books. I highly recommend this fantasy series and am looking forward to reading more from this author!

Vantage Point (Gray Ghost #4)Vantage Point by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vantage Point by Amy McKinley is book for in the series A Gray Ghost Novel. This book is full of action, suspense, and some romance. Hawk Ares is part of the Gray Ghost team. He values his teammates and sees them as family. Despite this he keeps to himself and is seen as the quiet member. His neighbor, Stella Klein, arouses his attention when she is dealing with some family drama with her brother. Because of her alliance and dedication to her family she gets dragged into a dangerous situation because of her brother.
I have enjoyed other books in this series and as well enjoyed this one. It has a little bit of everything and the suspense keeps me turning pages. I really liked learning more about Hawk and being introduced to Stella. I wanted to see everything work out for Stella and Hawk was in the right place at the right time. I look forward to reading more in this series and like that each book focuses on a different team member.

Devil's Backbone (Wild Beasts Series Book 5)Devil’s Backbone by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Another amazing read from this fantastically talented author!! I am so glad that I found this author when I did because I have absolutely loved all of the books that I have read by her. I am always captivated from the beginning until the end.
Devil’s Backbone is the fifth book in the Wild Beasts series but can be read as a standalone. I have to say I’m pretty certain this is my favourite one out of the series! I really enjoy mythology and I have really come to love the twist this author has put on that – she has created real original stories. Tess and Ben’s story was pretty intense and full of action. I really felt for Tess actually and everything that she had been through, I thought that she was a really relatable character. I will be honest I was rooting for Tess and Ben!!
I absolutely recommend this book and the others in the series also! I know that I will be very much looking forward to reading more from this wonderful author again in the future!

North to Nara (Crimson Sash, #1)North to Nara by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It would be easy to compare this book to so many great books to come before it. Divergent, Romeo and Juliet and maybe a dash of A Handmaid’s Tale come to mind. This takes the best part of those stories and turns them into a pure beauty of a novel. While this may be a story of doomed young lovers, it is also about how society judges and how it is slow to adapt, something we could learn from in my opinion. This is the first book in the series and I think it did a great job getting me to be invested in the characters and the situation in which they find themselves. I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat flipping pages to see what was going to happen next and I can’t wait to do it some more in the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

North to Nara (Crimson Sash 1) By Amanda Marin was unlike anything I have read before. The way the author grabbed me with her words, her world she created, and such amazing characters I was able to get lost so easily in this amazing world. The society of this book really is what helped draw me in, as it is a dystopian world. I loved the heartbreak, I loved the heartwarming, I loved feeling like I was right in the middle of this amazing book.
When Neve is given her empath is quickly retired, she is given Micah. As they grow closer, she knows that behind his smile, there is a story that tells a tale of loneliness and sadness. She knows empaths are not given the life of love and she has to decide does she follow her heart or the love of her nation?

Not many words stay with me, but, Behind the beauty is heartache…unless their love can save them, has become a favorite quote. An amazing five star read that I HIGHLY recommend.

Wolf: Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series (Fairy Tale Series )Wolf: Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series by Jody Lynn Daniels
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded this from KU. It looked like my type of story. Military man and a woman with a great family (I love those secondary characters). That cover drew me in as well! But this one was difficult to read and follow along with the flow of the story. The writing seemed stilted. Many times an action has already happened then it seems to happen again as the next character talks. Once half a chapter was repeated. When conversations are going on sometimes it difficult to figure out who is talking as the conversation moves along. Maybe some she said or Carson/Abby/Logan etc. said periodically would help with the flow. Confused more than once I kept stopping and re-reading to figure out who said what. That just seems to ruin the moment the author is trying to create.

As the story progresses I can’t help but like Carson more and more. Being a career military man he isn’t so stringent. He is good at laughing at himself and having a good time. The only thing that would have made him better was an introduction to his thoughts and feelings about Maggie from the time he met her to his last time with Sean. As a whole I liked his attitude and smile and some of his crazy thoughts. The whole mistletoe thing was great! ( I mean seriously what an awesome idea! Maybe the next holiday party! Yes!). Anyway reading Carson’s thoughts made me smile.

As secondary characters Abby gets the win! She is funny, thoughtful, helpful and always there when needed. She is a perfect secondary who is a joy to read. The other one I enjoyed was Jake. He added some fun times and made me smile for than once. Sasha and Stephen were typical cute kids and Logan is a nice brother who has a few lovely scenes.

This is listed as a fairy tale and if you keep that in mind while reading you can understand why the story is the way it is. I loved the idea of where this was going and with some tweaks it could easily be a higher rating.

Taming the Troublemaker (The Hills of Texas Book 3)
By Kadie Scott
Rated 5 stars

This is a wonderful story! I simply loved it! I like that this was set at the town where the Hills live so we are able to enjoy all of them. Autry was a struggle for me to like at the beginning. He really grew and I actually changed my thoughts about him as the story progressed. Beth is a force to be reckoned with! Between her “accidents” and her brain? Do not mess with this woman!! She also has a heart the size of Texas! Actually that’s what gets her Into the most trouble. She has a love of family and I liked that she grew up there and was familiar with Autry and his family. Speaking of family…I LOVED the names of all these kids. Well…the idea behind them. Kudos to the author for thinking this up.

I was easily drawn to these lovely characters. They have fun and yet have some serious moments. I can laugh at brotherly antics or swoon at those hot kisses. I loved these two (Beth and Autry) as well as getting to see more family dynamics. The story was heartwarming. I could hardly put this down it rolled off so nicely. I have a few bookmarks and highlighted passages. This can easily be a stand alone. I have only read the second book in the series although i look forward to reading the first. I can’t wait for the next in the series!

Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5)
By: Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars

The story Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander is a romantic suspense book. It is the next wonderful story in a series that I have loved since reading the first book. The story is entertaining, romantic, and also had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Luke Cannon. He is a man that wonders if he will every experience intimacy or love again. Luke is a character that I grew to care about and I found myself wanting him to find happiness. My heart hurt for him as I read about his life. Luke meets a woman who is independent, caring, compassionate, kind, and beautiful. Read this book to find out what happens next. This is a story that is emotional and mine went up and down the entire book. There are flirty and dirty talking as well as steamy moments that make the temperature in the room rise. I love that this series has characters that are familiar as they have been brought forward from previous books. You can feel the bonds of friendship and the feeling of family between them. I was drawn into the story from the beginning. Don’t miss out on the latest story in a series that includes an exciting club for swingers. Highly recommended reading.

I have mixed emotions about this story. I felt that the story lacked conversations between the characters. There was too much dialogue coming from the characters thoughts. I’m not sure how we got to certain points and situations when no one talked. Well they didn’t talk a lot. With that being said I didn’t find fault in the message the author put in this story. How Annie, Tess and even Ben had to find themselves and learn to love it. How they had to step out of their comfort zones and try new things allow themselves to feel. You do learn a lot about the characters from reading their thoughts. I would’ve like to see more talking to each other so that I could understand the bonds more. It was hard to just go by the emotions that they felt in each others presence.

Linked: Can Empathy Save the United Terrestrial Democracy? by Gaia B. Amman – Review by Angela Hayes

LinkedLinked by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Linked: Will Empathy Save the United Terrestrial Democracy? is a thought provoking and engrossing dystopian romance with a dramatic and suspenseful plot- which also has a pointedly political commentary woven into the storyline. It is cleverly crafted with complex and multidimensional characters, a fascinating plot, vivid world building, and many more impactful elements, such as the sci-fi components- which all combined to keep me fully engaged the whole way through. The thought that this story started as a dream the author had had one night, made this story all the more intriguing for me.
This is quite and original story and as everything begins to unfold, I started to realise that there was so mush more to the story, and characters, than had first appeared.
I am really taken with Ms. Amman’s incredible world building- creating a ‘new’ type of human with an intricately detailed history, names, and even a language. I found that to be quite genius and incredibly imaginative. It was so well written that it was very realistic and believable.
There were times the character/s frustrated me, but that was mostly because I had become invested in her/them and the outcome of the story. It was a little ‘dark’ at times, but this was well balanced with lighter, funny moments- and the romance.
I also feel this story would make a great movie or even a television mini-series.

Thank you, Ms. Amman!

The Dirty Rooster by Kelly Mooney. This is a story that hits a few emotions while your reading it. Preston is a trust fund baby who still helps out at his family’s bar, the Dirty Rooster. He sleeps around and doesn’t form attachments. Summer is the exact opposite, and you know what they say about opposites attracting right… The story line is well written and as the story progresses you are curious how it will end. I didn’t feel the need to finish it right away however I was hooked enough to read it in one sitting.

North of Nora presents a time that I would never like to see. A time where we are under dictatorship. I never want to be put in a position where it could mean life or death. Where my freedom is taken and I am marked as a traitor. Micah is a strong and brave character and I liked him more when he stood up for Neve. The whole story was deep and slightly emotional. You have these teens that just want to live but there are laws and people to fear. The author really makes you think with this story. Not only because of the outcome or the steps taken to get there. But because this could very well be our reality. This could happen to us. The author plays with you for a while and then does the unexpected. Yeah I’m hooked on this story.

Misfortune of Song: Druid’s Brooch Series: #5 by Christy Nicholas is a blend of fantasy history and Celtic mythology and is another great addition to the series. It is a story that will have your emotions all over the place and will have you laughing and crying. This book can be read as a standalone, as most of them can, but I would read them in order.

Maelan is a man of honour and code, but sometimes his granddaughter, Orlagh could drive him to drink. How far would he go to protect the one thing he loves in his life?

Orlagh is stubborn and bullheaded and often rebels against her grandfather. She wants what she wants and what she wants is the young man she has fallen in love with, be damned the consequences.

This is a world where there is magic and Fae and is wonderfully written to make it a magical read.

By: Jody Lynn Daniels
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wolf (Fairy Tale Series Book 3) by Jody Lynn Daniels was a page turner, and once I started reading I couldn’t put this book down.

My first read from this author and from this series, I fell quickly into this sweet second chance romance. Well written, easy to read, this little wonder is full of passion, good feels, and puts a new kind of spin on a favorite fairy tale. Tolde in dual POV we get both sides of the story, rounding out this heart puncher.

As much as I loved this book, there were a few things that bothered me. One was the CPR scene, not so much the CPR in itself, but the fact that the person requiring it wasn’t taken to the hospital after. Anytime CPR is perform you need to take the casualty to the hospital, because there’s a good possability a rib or two got broken in the process. The other thing was that, Sasha, just kind of disappeared towards end of the book. She was such a force, and prominent character, then that, after a certain breakdown, the author, just kind of, left her out of the ending. I felt there was a missed opportunity there, especially with Carson.

Other then that, I loved the plot, and the growing connection between the two MC’s. Their romance grew at a steady pace, it never felt forced or awkward. There was time for both of them to grow and rediscover their emotions. Carson was a sweet guy, like, I think I fell for him. He gave Maggie space and time, but I do feel like if he told the truth from the get go, then it would have solved a lot of problems, especially when he told like three people before her. But as a whole, I think Carson stole the show and really carried the story.

Overall this story is sweet, heart melty and just full of those good feels. I’m definitely going to be checking out the other books, so please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get lost in this modern retelling of red riding hood.

Happy Reading

The Slip Series Collection by Gwen McNamee is a great collection of stories that are quick, easy and funny reads. Each story is a romantic comedy that are scandalous and you will have a smile on your face and will be laughing out loud from start to finish.

Dick Slip One man’s pride is sorely tested when he inadvertently exposes more of himself than he ever wanted to share, let alone at a charity event and on live television for all the world to see.

Nip Slip Riley is the next up and coming big thing in the industry world. That is until a wardrobe malfunction sends the designer into a spin, effectively ruining any chances she has of her dream.

Beaver Blunder Madeline Ryan has fought hard to get where she is in a cut throat mans world, but one spill could change all that. She knows that she has to pull up her big girl panties and carry on as if she is not the laughing stock of the moment.

This one read that no one and I mean no one should miss. ​I highly recommend this book box to anyone and everyone and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I won’t lie this is a series I’ve become obsessed with! This is the 3rd book in the Liberty Lawrence series and even though it reads as a standalone, it’s one of those I would suggest to read from the very beginning. Not only because it’s AWESOME but it gives a lot of character details that I love!

Libby has to be one of my fav Heroine’s ever. She beautifully awkward but also just beautiful. She’s completely relatable and I love her. Reading book 3 is like catching up with an old friend that you love.

She has a new job, one she loves, but not the boss but things aren’t adding up and she’s wants to find the truth behind it all!

I have loved this series from the beginning. Libby is completely relatively relatable and I always get excited when solving crime. I’m dying for book 4

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION is a shorter story that has twists and turns along the way. The female protagonist is someone I would want to be friends with.

This is a great start to what I anticipate will be a fun series. I would recommend this book to book clubs and knitting circles alike.
