Family Ties Family Lies by Jacqueline Boulden – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Family Ties Family LiesFamily Ties Family Lies by Jacqueline Boulden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rose and her Mother Carly took me by surprise. Even though I read the description of this story. I did not expect to be completely drawn in and torn apart. The story not only made me ugly cry, it made me stay up all night to find the answers to the one big question. Props to Rose for wanting to be with her mother when she was most needed. Even though things got intense this story is well worth reading. The author had perfect characters for this story. This is a well written rollercoaster ride with so much to discover. The suspense will keep you reading, the family will bring out the tears, and the tissue, chocolate and wine could be your calming. I hope you enjoy this story and the author as much as I did.

The Glow in Loretta’s Garden (Loretta’s Insects) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Kerry Baker

The Glow in Loretta's Garden (Loretta's Insects)The Glow in Loretta’s Garden by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is yet another fun and entertaining story by one of our favourite children’s authors. The book was just as engaging and as the others we have read and this book took no effort at all to get in to. The illustrations were imaginative and added to the whole story. They are always what draws my kids attention to the book initially. The storyline was great and I enjoyed this book as much as my kids did. It is always nice to find a story we all like and can read multiple times and this book is one of them. I always enjoy books by this author and we are counting down until the next one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am really enjoying the Long Claw Pride series by this wonderful and creative author. This book sees Cricket, a very young widow with a young child get a second chance at love through a mating call. This is unheard of and very confusing for her. Boone answers his mating call and after working out what was holding Cricket back they embrace the call. Drama with Crickets family business links with others in this series and I can’t wait for more. I need to know how all this is going to unfold.

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series) by Alicia Street – Review by Kerry Baker

Make Me Burn (North Fork Series Book 9)Make Me Burn by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a great second chance romance. The characters have a fantastic chemistry right from the start and I loved watching their relationship evolve. The ex-best friend / little sister element to the book I think added more depth to the story. It gave them a great history to draw from and I think deepened their connection.
The story was fast paced and quick to read as it is a novella length story. However, I would have flown through it just as quick even if it were longer as it was such a good story to read. It was well written and an overall great story. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great quirky read. I think that’s the word I am after LOL I mean how else would you describe a Vegan Vampire! Basil is in an accident and wakes up a vampire. So confused and needing a way to survive and remain Vegan she develops a serum to take care of herself. She decides to leave town, buying a shop with an apartment she sets herself up in a new town and well things just develop from there. I haven’t read any other books in this series and that did not hinder my enjoyment of this book in any way. I will now be reading others for sure though!

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

The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 4)The Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars
The Changed Man is another engrossing read in The Olympic Peninsula series. I have really enjoyed this series getting to know the O’Connell’s. Make sure to read them in order or you really are missing out.

This is an emotional journey and a heartfelt tale. Cat has given us a well-written tale that is complex and layered just like these wonderful characters and there is a cast of them. You will find yourself falling in love with our MC’s as they navigate their relationship.

It is another well-woven contemporary romance with interesting characters, family dynamics, emotion, drama, angst, complications, interconnected characters, intrigue, and more. This may just be my favourite of the series.

Jake has surprised everyone by turning his back on an empire made with blood, sweat and tears. He has forsaken that life and his lifestyle for something that no one saw coming, something he finally decides to do for himself. A much-needed journey. What happened to make him make such a drastic change? Grab a copy to find out.

Loretta is back in a new adventure where she is once again in her garden and this time she learns about Fireflies. The story is cleverly told, and children will learn the life cycle of Fireflies from glowing larvae to the beautiful glowing insects. The narrative is simple and easy to follow along.
The beautiful pictures as always bring the story to life. The story is original and fun and full of interesting facts and always opens discussions with my grandbabies who love Loretta’s stories and exploring the garden themselves.
The story is aimed at children aged between 4 – 8 years old.

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story (A Better Man Book 1)Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story by Amy Q. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great slow burn romance. The characters show great growth throughout this story. It’s in both views of the main characters which is always a favorite of mine. I just always feel it’s a more detailed storyline that way. It’s a great story about life after divorce and the loss of a spouse. It’s well written and paced nicely. The author did well with the build up in the relationship. There’s a sprinkling of steamy romance but the author truly made it about the relationship that was building. Five big stars and highly recommended.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This romantic comedy is a great read with a unique perspective. You are introduced to the main character, Basil who is involved in a terrible accident. She’s provided a blood transfusion that ultimately turns her into a vampire. As we have all been told, vamps require blood to sustain their undead livelihood but what does a vegan turned vamp do in this situation?

Basil soon learns about the supernatural world, life in her new town, Silver Springs and against all odds, opens a very successful tanning salon/smoothie bar. In an effort to continue with her vegan life choice, Basil tries to create a vegan friendly solution to her current predicament.

In addition to all of this drama, she finds herself falling for a trio of interesting characters who openly love her, flaws and all.

Overall this book is entertaining, intriguing and full of surprises. You will also laugh a lot! I really enjoyed this and will continue to read additions to this series due to the entertainment factor.

Basil (Silver Spring Pets) by K. Rose – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Basil is a young woman who wakes up in a hospital not remembering how she got there, all she remembers is going on a date through one of those popular dating websites and the next things she knows is that she is in pain and extremely thirsty. Unfortunately, when the doctor checks her over, she is overcome with a need to bite him and even though she knows this shouldn’t be happening and so she runs away and heads back to her lab where she has to come to terms with the fact that she is a vampire, which causes a conundrum because she is vegan!

One good thing about Basil is that she is a biomedical engineer and so she does some research and creates a serum to help fend off the bloodlust, but now she has to make a decision about her life and how this will affect everything. As she is researching, she comes across a website with an interesting place called Silver Spring and that is when inspiration hits and she decides to open a smoothie and tanning salon and when the accomodation is approved, she heads out to a new life.

What Basil doesn’t expect is to find a few incredibly hot suitors, all of whom are supernatural like her, but when danger comes calling, will Basil be able to keep the life she is creating for herself, or will she really lose it all? In this reverse harem, paranormal romance, you will fall in love with the characters as they find their way up each other through a witty, sweet and spicy story of acceptance, realisation and romance.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Basil is a spicy, fun, and funny read. Basil is a vegan that has been turned into a vampire. She refuses to drink human blood. With her Biomedical Engineering skills, she develops a synthetic blood mixture that she takes with healthy smoothies. That is just the start of Basil’s new life, she buys a new place to live and run her new smoothie shop in the town of Silver Springs. She happens to have not one but three soul mates! Things get spicy from there on out. I loved the new take on Basil’s supernatural dilemma and the creativity. Basil is a fun and easy read that makes you feel good as she achieves in her newfound “life”. Basil is a standalone book; I have not read the other books in the Silver Springs series and thus it did not affect the story at all for me.

The Earl’s Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street Series) by Holly Bush – Review by Kerry Carr

The Earl's Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street, #5)The Earl’s Match by Holly Bush
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in The Thompson’s of Locust Street. I didn’t realise that this was the final book in the series butbit can be read as a standalone. This is a historical romance and I loved the authors writing and how I was transported back into that era.
I also love how the author portrayed Payden, by showing his struggles and torments because of the things he witness and had to do.

Payden is the youngest member in the Thompson family. When his family is threatened by an enemy in his rightful home of Scotland he knows he needs to end this man before he ends up harming his family.
So with his cousin Robbie they set off to rid their people of this evil man.
They are successful and Payden takes his title of Earl but it’s not all celebration. Payden is left with scars both physically, mentally and emotionally that he fears he will never recover from.

When he meets Clarice they don’t hit it off right away but there is something about her that slowly starts to breathe life into Payden and makes him feel like living again.
When Clarice meets Payden she sees a very serious and sad man in front of her. She can tell he hides pain and wants to find out what it is and hope to help him heal.
Can she be the balm to ease the pain in Payden’s soul?
Things won’t be easy for them and there are obstacles to challenge them but can they be strong enough to push through them and allow love to win?
I really enjoyed this beautiful story and I will definitely be going back and reading the previous books in the series.

Critical Care (Chase Care Series Book 6) by R.L. Dunn – Review by Angela Shirley

Critical Care (Chase Care Book 6)Critical Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tim Holland was assigned to look after his colleagues daughter but he was not accepting to met a sassy nurse, once he returns back to DC he wants to keep the relationship going but it is always hard with a long distance relationship.

Willow has finally finished her travelling nurses contract and back in DC and after the conversations with Tim the relationship seems to be moving fast, although they are still busy they find time for each other. When an opportunity comes up for Willow to go to San Diego Tim encourages her to take it as part of her career advancement.

Tim discovers as part of his job a mystery with patients dying unexpectantly and as he and the rest of Chase investigate lives become threatened and a major illness seems like it will derail Chase care and Security.

This is the sixth book in this series and omg it is just as thrilling as the other books I have read in this series. Tim has cropped up in the other books and have always wondered his story and voila he it is. Willow is a great character for Tim as she is full of sass and is not to afraid to give her opinion which a refreshing avenue in the story.

The story opens up the pharmaceutical industry as what could happen with short stock and supply and demand which is just as riveting as the story itself. The twists and turns in the story had me gripped and reading well into the night to finish it.

I enjoyed the interaction as always of the secondary characters who are becoming like fiends as I read more of the stories related to Critical Care. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

The Mating Chance (Long Claw Pride Series & LumberCats Series) by Brooke May – Review by Rita White, 03/2024

This is the 3rd book in the series, and it is fantastic.  It has to be a stand-alone because I haven’t read the first 2. (Yet)
The story follows Cricket and Boone, who are Mountain Lions.  Crickets family runs a logging business, and this creepy man will not leave them alone about buying the business.
Cricket lost her 1st mate to a logging accident, and once you have mated, you are mated for life.  Well, that didn’t work with Cricket as she has gotten the mating call again.  This has never happened before.  You will see her struggle with this mating call because of losing her 1st mate.  Fantastic read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It Comes From Within is the second book of theHouse Valdis. I HIGHLY suggest you go check out the first book and also the prequel before reading this on, that way you have a full understanding of what’s happening and how Xenobia started out. This one takes place six months after the last book. This is also told from Multiple perspectives which is awesome so you know just how everyone’s feeling and thinking throughout the whole book. Gotta love that, so you are not left saying “i wonder what so and so was thinking right now”. But man i didn’t think this storyline couldn’t get any better than the last I was wrong lol. Naomi Valkyrie writing and world building is fanfreakingtastic. Like I swear this had me in a chokehold until the end.like i had a lot to do today but i kinda blew that off to finish reading this book 😂 oops. I really hope there will be more from this series, until then i will be going to check out some of her other books. 🥰

Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Book 3)Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Suspense, twists, and unconditional love. This series is already dominating my top five favorite series already. While Drake was sprinkled into book one, and both were in book two, this is finally their time and their story. Dual perspective of Finlay and Drake.
Finlay is an investigative journalist, while on a mission in Mexico she met a seventeen-year-old girl, Gabriella, whose younger sister, twelve-year-old Lola, was taken into the worse trading business in the world. Without hesitation Gabriella flew to Paris in search of her sister and ended up in a trap that landed her owned by Evan. A chance moment taken Gabriella called Finlay who without question flew to Paris and went undercover to help. Thanks to her new best friend, Regan from book two, Drake was sent to look out for her on this dangerous mission. Drake had been watching and thought it was an overexaggerated on Regan’s part until he saw the clues and released that Finlay was poking around something far too big for one person to take on alone. All along the way Drake constantly is battling himself and his attraction to Finlay, while she wants him but thinks he hates her and only sees her as his enemy. Drake’s vast dislike of journalists first showed up in book two and continues here. He understands the power of words and how they can hurt people, only he starts to question his hatred of them when it comes to Finlay, she’s not like them. Finlay wants to better the world and safe everyone she can by exposing bad situations. Everything combined leads to some very intense moments but when the boss that even psycho Evan is afraid of is revealed, is anyone going to be safe again?
Can Finlay keep her promise to save Gabriella and Lola? Will Drake allow himself to follow his heart? Who is the big boss? What do they have to do with Finlay? The characters, honestly keep you coming back time and time again with each little tease. Especially with Drake popping in here and there and now finally getting his story was chef’s kiss. While his reason for hating journalists was sound, he was unfair to lump them all together. Finlay finally accepts she needs help and that she’s not alone. Every page leads to more shock and awe as the story unfolds and leaves you needing answers. Now I am torn between wanting more of Finlay and Drake and really hoping book four will be about Seb and Alexis. Either way I can’t wait, and I’ll see you there when the time comes.

Just an overall wonderful story…navigating two people whom were not looking for love but discover the spark between them. Bailey is raising two daughters on her own, being a widow and also a VP of Quality of a company. When a new CEO is introduced to the company…lots of curiosity circles knowing that Fox, the new CEO, is a father of two teenage boys raising them as well on his own. When a work trip includes both Bailey and Fox, this blossoms into wonderful conversations between them that leads to the pull of undeniable chemistry. As Fox and Bailey get to know each other more the feelings become more deep. Will both of the pasts keep holding them back their growing feelings for each other..and also raising their children and working for the same company?

I loved this story and the steps that both Bailey and Fox had to take to navigate work, family and love….and to find balance. It had me rooting for Bailey and Fox through the entire story…and both characters are truly relatable in everyday life. Looking forward to more from this author and series!

This is my first John Stone book and it was very good. Not a super fast read because it does force the reader to really think and take time to process the story. I thought the story was very interesting and very unlike most books I read – in a good way. Metaphysical is a new genre for me, so that did take some getting used to, and like I mentioned, it does require more thought than most books I read. I really liked the way the author developed the characters like Danny and Nora and it was a very unique direction for a storyline. Well done. This was a unique and interesting read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author is new to me and I was very glad that even though the book is part of a series, each book can be read as a standalone. It was pretty easy to figure out the characters and I didn’t feel like I missed anything. Once you start reading this book, you will want to keep reading it. The characters are well written and you may change your mind about some of them as you are digesting the story.

Harriet Smith, nicknamed “Harry” is a private investigator. She is attempting to find the person who killed her father. Harry is strong and independent but also has a softer side like many women. There are many twists and turns in the book which adds to the world the author created. I enjoyed Harry’s character and look forward to reading the earlier books in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with Xenobia and co and I was not disappointed. The storyline continues and it is six months since Xenobia took over and the stress of the House Valdis expansion is starting to show. Xen is determined to show the former House Muerte members that she is not at all like their former Master. However, her good intentions have lead to insurrection, and an unsanctioned blood den is discovered, along with an unexpected enemy being revealed. This leads Xen to reminisce but her memories can either haunt her or give her the solution she needs for victory. Once again I was transported into the urban fantasy/paranormal world of the House Valdis, and the descriptive narrative brings the setting vividly to life. I love the quirky and unique characters and I enjoy the multiple POV’s as it makes me feel engaged with all the characters. The LGBTQ relationship dynamics add to the story and the fast paced, exciting plot kept me hooked throughout.
