Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia Series) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Kelli Harper

March 25, 2024/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Kelli Harper

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweetopia, a family theme park that is wonderful and family-friendly for everyone except those who are employees there. Long work hours, not great insurance benefits, are making some of the employees unhappy and there are rumors of an impending strike. The owners have sent their son, Cy, undercover.
Jolie, a single mom, working long hours at the theme park and a second job just to make ends meet, really has no time to spend with her 2 boys.

The chemistry between the 2 main characters jumps off the pages. They are always looking for each other and cannot keep their hands to themselves when they are alone, but will their respective secrets drive then apart?

Wonderful start to an amazing series. New discreet covers and this first book has additional material. I adore the Spicetopia series and this authors other works as well.

The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Kelli Harper

The Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 4 in the Olympic Peninsula Series and this author has done it again. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly recommend them all. while they could be read as stand alone stories, I do suggest that they are read in order because the characters do overlap in these books and you will see how they grow and continue developing their relationships. It is really cool that even though this is Jake’s story, we still get to follow Joe and Ali and how their lives are developing together. Love, love, love this series!

Code Dog by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Angela Hayes

Code Dog by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

Code Dog by Lois Wickstrom is an intriguing little children’s adventure chapter book. Unlike most of her other books this doesn’t contain any illustrations, but is original and imaginative as I would have expected from Ms. Wickstrom.
As I mentioned above, this is an intriguing adventure with plenty of mystery, action, investigation, suspense, sci-fi elements, a sprinkle of drama, high stakes, a time crunch, lessons, investigation, and a little danger.
When A 200year-old time capsule goes missing and an intriguing map falls into their hands, Timmy, Beth, and Arthur find themselves thrust into an adventure that non of them will soon forget. Add in a special dog named Cody who understands and uses morse code- and this story takes off. What happens makes for a fun read.
It is a much longer story than any of her picture books, so it’s great for reading a chapter or two before bedtime.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lois Wickstrom!

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga by Janice Pratt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen is aimed at giving parents and teachers some different concepts to engage children and teach them some valuable life skills.
The book ‘plants’ different concepts on using movement, science, nature, and growth to help a child find focus, concentration, mindfulness, compassion, empathy, and breathing better. This is done through Yoga techniques, planting seeds, affirmations, games, moving activities, mindfulness activities, and even songs.
We learn about Yoga principles, Yoga movements, Plant growth, and much more. I think this is a great tool that has a different approach to raising healthy children- body, mind, and spirit.
Well worth the read!
Happy Reading…

Charlotte’s Control by Maggie Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Charlotte’s Control is the first book in The Control series by Maggie Sims. This is an historical romance with a reverse age gap, femdom, chemistry, sizzle, tension, tender romantic scenes, fate, societal norms/customs of the time, insta-lust, love letter/lust letter exchanges, agendas, passion, drama, angst, challenges, and emotion.
Charlotte never imagined being a widow at the age of 30, but there she is alone in an age where responsibility and societal expectations seem quite daunting. When fate intervenes and she crosses paths with the very young and charming William- things take a bit of an unexpected and steamy turn. What ensues made for a great read.
Looking forward to continuing the series.
Happy Reading…

Stars in the City: Second Change Romance by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

Stars In the City (Stars in the City Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a YA romance story- with all the teenage drama, friendship, angst, jealousy, romance, and emotion you could expect from a YA romance story. It also has some sweet moments that made even my old, jaded heart, flutter for a beat or two.
As with the other books that I have read by Ms. Hager, this is a well-woven story, but definitely suited to a younger audience.
If you love YA, romance, soap opera stars on the rise, emerging pop stars, basketball players, angsty teen drama, friendship, connection, first love, love-triangle-ish storylines, and sweet moments- then you will definitely want to add this to your TBR.
Happy Reading…

Before You Say I Do by Marina Hanna is a contemporary romance with plenty of chemistry, steam, ‘ex’ drama, emotion, and just enough angst to keep things interesting.
This was a fun read that had me invested right from the get-go. As expected from Ms. Hanna, it entertained me the whole way through. We follow Liam and Emma through their highs and lows, as their ‘one-night-stand’ turns into more- will they take a chance on love? Well worth the read to find out.
Another great read from this talented author. Looking forward to whatever Ms. Hanna has in store for us next?

Charming Chapter : A Later-in-Life Just Kisses Romance by Lori Haas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

Charming Chapter is the first book in the Boomer Babes Book Club series, and debut novel by Lori Haas. It is a sweet women’s fiction story about finding love again later in life. As this is my first read by Lori Haas, I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories- but the cover caught my attention, and the story promised something a little different to what I have been reading of late, so I took a chance, snapped up a copy, and set off to see what happens.
What I discovered is exactly what the title promised, a charming tale capturing a later-in-life romance (clean), friendship, finding love after loss, interesting older characters, sweet + heartwarming details, fun, challenges, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
The characters were really well-developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws- making the story quite realistic and entirely believable. It was great seeing that it’s never too late for love. And the friendships were a fun addition, adding extra interest to the overall storyline.
If you love women’s fiction, clean romances, and stories with charming mature characters finding love unexpectedly — then this is definitely the book for you…
Looking forward to Book #2, ‘Surprising Chapter’ (due to release in June 2024)…
Hapy Reading…

Mermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Angela Hayes

Mermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

Mermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn is such a wonderful children’s fantasy book (aimed at children aged 3 – 12 years old), with divine illustrations that really capture the imagination. Along with the lyrical style of the writing, it all results in pulling the reader into the magical world of mermaids.
This story is a little different, as it doesn’t just give us the ‘traditional’ mermaid/s we are used to seeing. Instead, it helps us imagine what different types of mermaids there might be, and what their tails might look like. The delightfully cute illustrations really do make the story come to life, capturing a plethora of different mermaid tails to inspire the imagination.
There is also an educational component to the story, with each page offering a ‘fun fact’ about marine life, the sea, and morsels of mermaid legends. This adds an extra element of interest and fun to the overall reading experience.
What a fun little adventure this turned out to be. It was so enchanting, engaging, and cute. My granddaughter loved reading this with me and pointing out all the different mermaids.
Looking forward to seeing what Suzanna Lynn does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Suzanna Lynn!

The Archcrusade: Tome One: The Archspawn – Pilgrimage & Prophecies by K.M. Hogenson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a short, quick read, The Archcrusade is not for you. But, if you are in the mood for amazing characters and fantastic world building, K. M. Hogenson’s book is for you! This fantasy book is full of angels, demons, humans, and many forms of otherworldly creatures. Although the creatures do not exist in the world, the descriptive writing made it so I could see them in my mind while reading. The characters are so well-developed, each with their own story, but each inexplicably connected to one another. K. M. Hogenson beautifully weaves a tale of adventure, drama, danger, destiny, and magic. There are many character points-of-view so it did get confusing, at times, keeping all of the characters strait. But, I was so lost in the descriptive writing that I was not put off by the changes. Overall, an epic, well-written tale of adventure and fantasy. I would happily pick up another book by K. M. Hogenson.

This book hits just the right notes of romance and intrigue to keep you hooked. The characters feel like people you’d want to be friends with, making it super easy to dive deep into their stories.

Giving it a solid 4 stars because it’s the perfect pick-me-up read for a lazy weekend chill.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires: A Dark and Steamy Romance Collection

You can usually tell what to expect from a book by the first chapter and this book while is a bunch of different short stories/novella that are absolutely hot and worth the read.

I think the first one was my favorite, there was the Cougar thing happening. I felt myself connecting with Elizabeth, older, adult offspring, married for a long time, and lost and under appreciated.

Though Kora and the Senator were almost as hot as Elizabeth and Hugh. The setting of their story was intriguing, it definitely delivered just like the remaining stories.

None of the stories were especially long, I was able to read some of them completely while taking a break from work and stuff at home.

Hope to see more of these collections and additional books by this author in the future.

The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a cute story!
Lorie and Weina are sisters we meet in this story who give us a peek into Chinese new year traditions! The story starts with the lunar new year and the sisters watching the parade on the sidewalk. As the story progresses you learn about red envelope gifts are to kids every year, why they are the color red and what’s inside! As we go along on the story you’ll uncover a heartwarming reason the girls are pooling their gifts and what their plan is.
This was a great short chapters book probably best suited to at least a 7th or 8th grade reader (or more advanced younger reader) but also is not lost on the younger kids as I read it to my 5 year old who loved it too.
Great book for kids highly reccomend

Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Give Us Bad Boys and Billionaires is a dozen beginnings of steamy romance stories, with a couple of full stories. This is the second book collection I have read by this author and as a smut lover, it did not disappoint. This is a collection of many different tropes from bully-to-lovers; stepsiblings; dad’s best friend, etc. If you like smut, there is a little bit of everything for everyone and is one steamy story after another. If you are someone who also likes to read spicey teasers, this is for you. While the plots tend to feel they don’t have too much to them, the spice normally starts from chapter 1 and is pretty amazing. This author is a good steamy, romance writer but it might not be for everyone. I liked each story for different reasons but I would say my least favorite was “Falling for My Son’s Best Friend” and my favorite was “Daddy’s Forbidden Temptations”.

If you’re looking for a little heat and spiciness, look no further. This book includes a number of sexy romance story collections that are steamy and short enough to keep you intrigued. I enjoyed some stories more than others depending on the point of view but that made this collection so brilliant because you will be onto the next story in no time. I wish some of these were much longer and more in depth characters but that’s not possible with short stories like these. You can read these all in one sitting or choose one per day. Either way you’ll be entertained.

Everything in Elsbeth’s life is falling apart. Her long-term relationship is ending, she’s on the outs with her sister, Zara, her relationship with her mom is falling into further despair, and her dad’s on his last stretch of life. How much more can a girl take?

A letter comes in the mail and Elsbeth learns that she’s inherited property from her aunt in Guernsey. It’s across the ocean and a huge decision to make. There are so many loose ends at home that she’s not sure she can go, but ultimately decides to do it anyway. Upon arriving in Guernsey, she sees the house is not like she expected it to be.

This book will grab you from the first sentence. I read it one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are characters you will really love and ones that you will really hate. There is suspense and mystery, but most of all, redemption.

Secrets of the Moon by Kristy Centeno
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Secrets of the Moon is a Paranormal, Young Adult/New Adult romance tale.
The story is told in single POV, but I would have loved it to be multiple POV it would have added and extra depth to the characters.
Secrets of the Moon is a paranormal story with secrets and lies, action and adventure, mayhem and madness, drama and suspense, thrills and tragedy, danger and let’s not forget the romance. This story that had me captivated from the very beginning. Kristy’s writing keeps you on your toes expect the unexpected.
It is a touch dark, sexy, with a touch of fun and a delicious tale that has sexy Werewolves, Mates, Twins, family drama and things that go bump in the night.
The storyline is well thought out and cleverly woven together. The characters are well developed, complex and interesting.
Kyran is sexy, dark, brooding, and troubled and along with having a secret or two he is being torn in two. Trouble seems to follow Marjorie wherever she goes but she runs toward danger not from it. However, as secrets begin to come to light, Marjorie’s world is turned upside down once again.
It doesn’t end with a cliffy but there are a few unanswered questions, but I still really enjoyed the story. Hopefully all will be revealed in the next book.
If you love paranormal/supernatural you will not be disappointed.

Bring on more.
