This is a beautiful children’s book about Loris who struggles to open up to his new foster home. This is a fantastic book that could be used to teach compassion, kindness, courage, overcoming fears, and so much more. I really love the empathy we feel from Cam and Inaya and the vulnerability we eventually get from Loris. This is a fantastic teaching tool for kids and the illustrations are phenomenal.

This is a enjoyable read full of family drama, twist and turns and romance appearing in a place you least expect it. This is the fourth book in the Olympic Peninsula series. I would recommend reading these books in order as each book focuses on a different member of the family however characters do cross over. Plus you get a better feeling and understanding for the family and the dynamics at work.
In this story we are with Jake O’Connell. Jake moved away from the family and was CEO of the family business. He has always been a driven man stopping at nothing to succeed no matter the cost. When he returns home for his brother David’s wedding he catches everyone by surprise. And they are even more surprised to hear he has resigned as CEO, rent a house and is now a writing thrillers. What has made this man do a complete 180 and change his life so drastically? With his heart heavy from the loss of his friend, resentment towards his brother for leaving him with the family business so he couldn’t pursue his own dreams and finding his muse in Chiara there is a lot of emotions to work through. This is Chiara and Jake’s story. The connection between them is instant but with Chiara being married will anything come of this flame or will it burn out? This is a emotionally rollercoaster of a story as you witness all the family angst, as well as the complicated feelings between Jake and Chiara. I have enjoyed every book in this series so far and I can’t wait for it to continue

I couldn’t put this one down! It gripped me straight away. I love this sort of story and this did not disappoint! This follows Callum and Aeris as they discover their two worlds are about to collide. Aeris is a fae and Callum is human… or so he thinks but his world is turned upside down when he meets Aeris. It’s a story of self discovery, first love, friendship, war and more. This is so well written I just couldn’t put it down, I thoroughly enjoyed this and I’m so looking forward to the next installment!
This is a really cute kids mystery that will intrigue all ages. You have to stick with it as the beginning is a bit jumpy and has you all over the place, but once Wickstrom hits her stride…you are in it for the long haul. Code Dog is the story of Timmy, Beth, and Arthur as they try to find a 200-year old time capsule so they can win the $1,000 prize. Luckily, Mrs. Vance has a map the kids can use while she is recuperating from surgery and Timmy is caring for Cody, her adored dog. However, along the way, the kids and readers learn that Cody has secrets of her own and may be the key in helping them find the missing time capsule before their time runs out. There is suspense, humor, and friendship. This is a great chapter book for blossoming readers as well as a fantastic read-a-long for bedtime. As always, Wickstrom does a fantastic job of not only telling a wonderful story, but weaving life lessons throughout.

I have read a few of these books by G Pa Rhymes with my son. We always enjoy the adventure the characters go on. This time, it was an adventure of kindness. Fay and Cray start swimming to warmer waters. On their way, they find some animals who need help. These books always flow nicely and will keep kids entertained. They will also learn something along the way. At the end of each book, there is always extra fun included.

This is one of the most heartwarming books I’ve read. It’s probably one of the closest I’ve seen to explain to foster children about family. I think Loris is a sweet child. I loved how the author explained the feelings of all the kids and how what he was feeling was normal. I wish we could get a copy of this book to every foster child or therapist.

I love a good mystery. This author does a tremendous job with setting up her stories. The premise of the story was built around a former student returning as an instructor. The story had great detail. I really enjoyed how it built its way up to the end. Everything was explained at the end. The characters were well written and easy to relate to.

I really enjoyed this story. There was a really nice flow to the story. I was amazed to see that there were 10 authors. As a paranormal lover, it’s always a treat to find a romance with lots of goodies in the story. It is set in New Orleans, after all. Nobody thought it too odd that Callum was often seen talking to himself. You can feel a little of every emotion in this story. There are lots of fairies, trolls, and even things that can eat you. Such a fun paranormal tale. It’s an intriguing tale of good coming together to fight evil to save Aeris’s home of Laric. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series as it comes out.

Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Shelly Kittell
It’s so exciting to see this in a boxed set. All three books together in one place. These books are so wonderfully written. They are historically detailed in such a way that almost makes you feel that you can see the beauty of the location during that time. You can feel the noise, etc. The characters in each story bring such depth and personality to them. Each story is unique yet tied together by the family piece. Whether as a protagonist in one story or as a supporting character in the other books, these characters will feel relatable. There were times that I felt like I was feeling their emotions. Such beautiful romances in all three books. I would click the buy button for this. Worth having.

The Winemakers is a great historical romance box set of Book 1-3 in The Winemakers series…its includes The True Purpose of Vines, The Taste of Light and The Truth About Myths. If you are a lover of historical romance with love, banter, secrets, history and taken to beautiful places you can only imagine I highly recommend this series of books….and this is perfect in a box set!
Book 1 – The True Purpose of Vines This is a historical romance set in Portugal 1870’s. This is a beautifully written story, and I enjoyed being swept up in time. Julia is a strong and passionate woman that is all about keeping her vineyard and producing the best wine, but is also in debt due to her late husband. Griffin, who is all about regaining his family’s status, makes an agreement to get payment from Julia. As the story unfolds, so does the romance between Griffin and Julia. This is a great story of romance, secrets, history and cultural differences….the author did an amazing job with such wonderful details.
Book 2 – The Taste of Light I would recommend reading book 1 first. I can say that while I did enjoy book 1, I loved this book, being 2nd in the series with my every being.
Can I say……I was not happy with Pedro in book 1….not what so ever and never ever in a million years I would end up liking him so much in book 2…..I know get it…..and my heart…. Pedro is haunted by his past and wants love. Pedro truly believe he once had love, but choice in the matter…it did not happen. A chance encounter and ending up on the run, he meets Anne.
Anne… I loved Anne so much and just her being so kind….she is helping her brother and also travels to help the other neighbors understand and learn how to take care of their vines..and an encounter she meets Pedro…and Pedro at first did not take to kind to Anne…and both end up on the run. Why are they running?
Will Pedro and Anne connect and Pedro find what he is looking for? Chemistry, banter, intensity for sure…..I Loved Pedro and Anne in this story so much!
Book 3 – The Truth About Myths Very well written and I can picture beautiful place in Portugal and Spain….The Truth About Myths is book 3 in The Winemakers series. The author is fabulous and her storytelling is amazing. The romance, tension and banter between Henrique and Isabel…I loved it.
When Isabel is asked by the King to go to Spain to help out….it is her duty to do so. What is not anticipated is who is accompanying her….none other than Henrique….which at first was a bit trying. Knowing how proper and set in her ways Isabel is….will she be able to let a bit go and see another side to Henrique and will he fight for her?

This story is about many things, Cody the Code Dog, a town with secrets, a monster in the woods, kids trying to decipher the code and discover the secrets all the while trying to be kids, homework, chores and creating a band. I’m tired just thinking about their adventures!
The beginning half of this story seems to be all over the place. The three friends, Beth, Timmy and Arthur, are all concerned about their own thing. Beth wants to finish the school project, Timmy wonders about the monster in the woods and Arthur wants to just keep writing songs for their band. They don’t really seem to get along as friends do. But then their teacher needs their help in finding the missing time capsule. Luckily there’s a map with clues, however, those clues don’t really make much sense and there are others looking for the capsule, as well.
Cute story with a cute dog and some very interesting characters. While I do love most of this author’s books, this one wasn’t my favorite. Will continue to read the stories from her and look forward to more.

These Oscar and Emmy books are always so cute and informative about animals. This one specifically deals with fostering. Charlie and Abby learn so much through fostering three tiny kittens. These books always take real life pet and animal problems and bring them to an age appropriate level for children. Over crowding at animal shelters is a very real, very common thing. This touches on it gently and helps teach about what it’s like to take in kittens, but then to adopt them out so that you can take on more to help with the over population of cats.
This is a cute rhyming story that explains the responsibility of owning a dog. Friends Lora and CJ both want a puppy. Their parents tell them they must learn the ways of dog owning. Puppies are serious lifelong responsibilities. Dogs of any age require care, love and understanding.
This is a cute quick read with a great start to dog ownership.

This story is an easy and cute read for young children. Dylan and his little sister are off to the park to learn and practice baseball with the neighborhood kids. Little did they know that there would be a problem, an adventure to be had, a mystery to solve. Good thing Dylan and Emily have a detective kit and like solving mysteries.
This story was fun to read. I imagine reading it to 1st grade aged children. I love the classroom prompts at the end of the story. This story is fun and educational. My favorite type of children’s books.

June and Dallas were in stoppable as a duo but when there relationship broke down she swore she would not want anything Dallas has to offer, until now. June’s business is failing and when her investor pulls the plug there is only really one place to go, Dallas.
Although people around town talk about him can I put my feelings aside to help my business or will the clauses he puts in place be for the business or me.
Dallas is thrilled that June has come back into his life, but can he be the knight she requires or will the past be too much for her to forgive. Setting June up with his friend to invest is the best scenario but does she have the feelings I buried ten years ago when she left.
This is the third book in this series and can be read as a stand alone story. Like the others this is full of twists and turns which is a slow burn at the beginning but becomes epic by the end and will have you scrambling to finish to see what happens. The character of June was brilliant and sassy, full of what she wanted and was not afraid to go after it. Dallas is a fiery Alpha make character which with June make an explosive couple. The secondary characters add an air of twist which is great to read.
I can’t wait to read books for this author.

Wow, I want book two now. This book was a ride of emotions with so many twists and turns. The characters draw you right into the story and grip your heart. Aeris, our main female character, is a rule breaker at heart even though she really doesn’t mean to be, She finds herself in the human world often. Just usually watching people. She isn’t supposed to cross the barrier into the human world but she just can’t help herself. She uses glamor so no one can see her until one day when detective Callum is able to see her and the story continues from there.
I was so intrigued with this story. I could have kept reading for hours more. I really really need the next book.

I am loving this series! This is the second book in the Life is Hell series, and I cannot wait to read more. This one is just as good as the first, if not better. I love when a series takes a side character from the first book, and gives them their own story. We still see characters from the original, but you get to experience more. There are just as many supernatural elements in this one as the first. If that’s your thing, then you will love this book!

Emma is working her way to becoming a Sommelier but with school, work and an Ex- boyfriend she would rather forget she has no time for a relationship. Hook ups are fine but need to leave by the morning as she does not want to get her heart broken again, but when a handsome, dashing man walks into the bar she may have to rethink her whole dating life.
Liam is a player, he gives them a night and then by the end of it they need to leave. His notion on marriage and relationships is that they are not worth the energy as his only reference is his parents marriage which is non-existent, but when he meets Emma she crawls under his skin and he is doing couplie things he would not imagine him doing. So when he offers Emma an agreement can both of them come away with their hearts in tacked, you will have to read to find out.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it was brilliant flowing story. Emma was just the right amount of sass and wanting to be a wine waiter was a refreshing change to the normal career paths people go down. Liam is a confident, powerful man but in his interactions with Emma they are soft and kind, showing at times his vulnerability in his character.
The story is well developed and fast paced and the chemistry between the two characters is brilliant, the slow burn of the relationship makes it more appealing to keep reading to see if in the end their is a happy ending for the two of them. I could have done some serious damage to her ex-boyfriend but it all works out in the end lol.
Can’t wait to read more books from this author in the future.

Something went wrong over a decade ago and June swore never to work with the man again. However, due to an investor backing out of financing the business she is trying to start she is in a pinch. Dallas, ever the knight in shining armor, knows a guy in Argentina. Is it safe to take money from a stranger?

This is the 4th book of the The Olympic Peninsula Series. This release was much anticipated. I couldn’t wait to be immersed into this world again. Now we finally get to have Jake’s O’Connell POV. I was waiting to see if we’d get his redemption story. This one follows Jake and Chiara’s ups and downs through the book. And ups and downs they are lol get ready to feel the feels reading this. The author always outdoes herself the more she continues to write this series.i love that we got to see the characters from the previous books. I always love when an author does that, because I often wonder about them after their books end. Jake definitely has become one of my favorite characters and I can’t wait til I see more of him in the next book. Speaking of which The 5th book The Fallen Man comes out in june of this year and i truly can’t wait to see how Cat Treadgold tops herself 🥰

This chapter book is for more ages of 8-12 years, although I think it depends on the child’s reading level. It’s a lovely adventure of the best friends on a mystery quest to find a time capsule. There’s plenty of intrigue to keep the reader turning the page to see what happens next. I liked the dog character. If I had a dog like that when I was a kid, there would be plenty of adventures for sure!

The Closer: An enemies to lovers dark romance (The Hustlers Series Book 3)
The chemistry is obvious before they are in the same room and the sparks get harder to ignore the more time they spend together.
I think this may be my favorite of the series and that is saying something. I think the increase of animals might have something to do with it. The dogs are common, but there are a few I don’t think I have ever seen in a book
June and Dallas go from not speaking for two years to working together and move to something deeper while their friends watch it all happen.
I’m guessing this is the end of this series, but would not be upset to see more books featuring some of the background. I will be keeping up with Ms. Rossler and her releases.

The Closer is the third, and last book in The Hustlers Trilogy, but the second book I’ve read in this series. All of the books are standalone novels that have different tropes. The Closer is an enemies to lovers, dark, romance novel about Dallas, June, and second chance romance. This book was very much like book one in that there was drama, action, spice, chemistry, and secrets. I loved the setting, characters, and the witty banter. Although a little slow to get going it picks up and gets more interesting. Rowan Rossler has a well written, richly detailed, fascinating series on her hands.

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming. This book ended up being exactly what I needed. Not only have I always wanted to go to England, but we are planning a trip next year, so perfect timing to have found this book. It really is full of everything you will need to plan your trip, and what to do while your there. With some great ways to keep your trip budget friendly. The author added some fantastic historical information as well as myths and legends. If you’re planning a trip or have always wanted to go to England than I definitely say grab this book to help, make your travel experience even better,

The Closer by Rowan Rossler is book three in the Hustlers series. This is the first and only book that I have read and although I’m sure there would have been more things that I would have understood if I read the others, I had no issue with this as a stand-alone. This was a fast read for me because I was truly sucked into the story. I had to know what was going to happen between Dallas and June. And let me tell you I was NOT disappointed. A little shocked because of the twists I actually didn’t see coming but not disappointed. Needing help from someone wealthy and great in the business world, June puts her big girl undies on and all but begs for Dallas to help her. She just needs his money, nothing else…. Right? Phew, the lust and angst felt between these two is enough to get you to the end as fast as possible. Definitely made me want to go and check out other books by this author!

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga (Yoga for Kids: Lesson Plans for the Teacher Book 1) by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen was very cool and perfectly laid out. I personally am homeschooling my daughter and found this book to be an amazing resource for us! My daughter is very interested in seeds and gardening so having the “seed” theme made it that much more interesting to her. She loved it. Although we have not made it through the entirety of the book yet, I’ve read it and we have talked about what there is to come and we are excited. The lesson plans are laid out in a very easy to understand way. There are different activities including music, art, the obvious yoga posing and games. But my favorite was the gratitude journal (which I had to help because she doesn’t write yet) and the affirmations. So cute and so fun! Each thing is set up for a group but I found it easily adaptable for just her and I. Neither of us are huge into yoga and as we are beginners, I never felt as if we were behind or I was incapable of teaching the poses. Truly cannot wait to do our next lesson. The resources at the back of the book were very helpful to me. I am overall pleased with this book and think that while it is a great resource for homeschoolers, that it would be great in a classroom setting as well.

This book was a classic romance with a twist. It has great murder mystery and romance. It keeps you going trying to figure out who did it. It’s wonderful to see the progression of the characters as well.

Wow!!! This story had me on edge the whole time. So much happening and the fear in your mind something will. The story did take some turns I was not expecting. I loved that June and Dallas had met previously and it added to the story in a dynamic way. Navarro will have you tense and swooning all at the same time. This story will pull at your heartstrings and keep you reading late into the night to just see what is going to happen next. This is the first book I have read from this author and I have to say it won’t be my last. I’ll be looking for the other books in this series. Excellent excellent entwining of characters.

This is the first book I have read by this author. There ate three books in the series with this being the last, however , it can be read as a standalone. It is an enemy to friends book filled with romance, lust, love, drama, mystery and much more. It leaves you sitting on the edge wanting more. A page turner, and lots of twists and turns. A very good book.
