Critical Care (Chase Care Series Book 6) by R.L. Dunn – Review by Barbara Bohls

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

This is an amazing quick read. I fully enjoyed the characters and their development throughout the story. It has everything you would want in a romance. The push and pull of whether or not they want to take a chance on love again. There is medical jargon that allows you to feel the presence of what they are doing but isn’t so over the top that you don’t understand. It showed a depth of knowledge from the author but made it were anyone could read it and understand. I loved that, I am by no means in the medical field and felt completely confident in what was happening. It does have a lot of super sweet mushy romance in the beginning with endearment that I wasn’t sure I could read the whole thing if it was like that. Then you turn the page and all of sudden there is a suspense plot line that I didn’t see coming. It is amazing to be able to have the romance and the suspense in such a way that you don’t want to put the book down. This read was super quick and I loved every minute of it. This is the 6th book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I have read others in this series so I knew a little of what to expect. Having said that, this was a really fresh take on a story line that I didn’t see coming and I enjoyed every minute of it. Each book that I have read in this series has not disappointed me and it keeps me coming back for more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an excellent read. an exciting, suspenseful read that brings back “Harry” who meets Trey. She wants in and he wants out. I found the characters to have a terrific chemistry. Though there was danger around and in, the humor was also in the story. I laughed through a lot of it. It was a funny story with suspense and romance that I would definitely recommend. I will be going back to read the previous two.

Murder At Music Hall (True North Murder Mystery Book 1) by A. J. Ullman – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

/0 Comments/in /by

This is the first book I have read by this author. I will tell you that its very graphic when it comes to describing the scene where someone loses their life. I actually had a hard time getting it into at first because of the graphic description. Which is weird for me, since I tend to enjoy books that get graphic. Detective North (who is retired homicide detective, and now a Private Investigator) has been hired by the victims father to find out who hurt his boy. There are moments that I feel like there should be more description but overall I really like the book. Definitely recommend this book to others who like reading about mystery, murder, mayhem.

The Mating Chance (Long Claw Pride)The Mating Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

The Mating Chance is the third captivating book in the Long Claw Pride series by Brooke May. As with the other books in the series, this follows members of the Long Claw Clan, a mountain lion shifter community- and makes for fantastic reading. This ca could be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading the series from the beginning as the stories are worth it- plus there are other relevant bits that will help you fully appreciate the series as a whole.
We follow Boone and Cricket on a bit of a second chance, fated mates, paranormal romance- where Ms. May delivers all the emotion, angst, banter, humour, fun, drama, family, community, destiny, secrets, discovery, challenges, chemistry, and spice. As with all her characters, it was easy to invest in them and the outcome of their story. I was rooting for them, even if they frustrated me at times.
If you love paranormal romances, particularly shifters- then this is well worth the read!
Bring on Book #4!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Brooke May!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this book to be so cute and fun! It walks you through a mystery Lunar New Year adventure with Lorie and Weina. The girls have lost their lucky new year red envelopes that they have been saving up to replace a bracelet for their grandma. This book keeps you on your toes while you follow the girls along their day and also trying to find said missing envelopes. I loved seeing another side of Asian American culture and the different things that they do/celebrate compared to my own family. This book had my children hooked while we followed the girls back through their day. The traditions and holiday excitement was so fun. I really enjoyed the simple illustrations as well. My girls 9 and 12 both enjoyed reading this book with me and learning about others. It also lined up with their cultural days at school so they learned so much this week!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Detective Dylan, Emily and Theodore the family dog are back at it. They never leave home without Dylan’s Detective Kit. But this time they are off to play baseball. Once they get to the ball field they notice the baseball plates are missing. So they go in search of the missing plates. First off let me put out there that this story is not only educational but brings together siblings. Yes this big brother enjoys spending time with his little sister. As for Emily she is a big help as the team works together. This author has done quite nicely in bringing these siblings together. This story is quite the page turner. It is captivating and interesting. The characters also play big parts in the story.They set a great example to our young readers. Also at the end of this chapter book there is a list of big words with explanations of the words and where to find them in the story. I love that! I love an open-ended story. This one is fantastic.

Outcast (Her Royal Harem: Ember Book 1)Outcast by Catherine Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reverse Harem GOLD. So, I will admit the cover is what pulled my interest in this one and with my goal of finding new to me authors Catherine Banks was a perfect new March author. This is the first book in Her Royal Harem: Ember trilogy and honestly, chefs kiss.
Ember Jasperwood is a mage, but her mixed abilities with no obvious “hybrid” markers causes her very prejudiced community to look down on her. Not only them but her own parents. When her abilities began as a young child, they had her tested and sent to the best mage school but then gave her a cabin, 100 acres of land and a monthly salary as they cut communications with her. All Ember wants to do is be in the woods, her safe space and heal the animals, shifters, and hybrids that she finds or that are brought to her. Only all too soon does everything begin to change, strange magical rocks cover the riverbank, and cursed animals emerge from nowhere in hunt for her blood, the cure to their curse. Her patients become so much more as they choose to stay at her side and help her with these mysteries and more. The men quickly become curious of what else she is as she has a mix of powers that don’t belong to mages as well as not smelling like a mage, but something more.
Who is the one who curses? Can Ember and friends find the truth behind the stones? Why is she being targeted? This world is so rich in details, taking real world problems and transforming them into more complex roles. In a world of shifters and mages and more hybrids are the targets of racism and attacks while the princes are actively trying to change things Ember’s city seems to be falling deeper into the dark. From start to finish this book holds your attention, keeps you guessing and turning the page as you guess and trying to answer the questions of what is going on. I will be counting down to book two and then three of this series in need of seeing what will happen next and how it all ends. Book 2 Outnumbered April 5th, 2024. Book 3 Outshone May 3rd, 2024. Let the countdowns begin, I hope to see you there.

I loved this story so much! From the very first chapter and all the way to the epilogue, I was drawn in and hooked. Bailey and Fox are two incredible characters that the reader gets to learn about and fall in love with as they learn to navigate their adventure together. So many different dynamics in the book were done so well and I didn’t want the story to end. Well done Amy Q Barker, this was a fantastic book, with a great romantic story without having to be over the top romance. This appears to be book 1 in the Better Man series and if that’s the case, I cannot wait to read the others!

This was a very enjoyable book! Young readers who are learning to read in small chapters will love this story about Dylan and his little sister Emily. They are going to baseball practice and when they arrive, their coach explains that all the bases have been stolen. Dylan thought to grab his Youth Sleuth kit prior to leaving home so he and Emily are on the lookout for the stolen bases. They come across various groups of people in the park before finally locating the missing bases.

A super fun, adventurous book that features Theodore, who is Dylan and Emily’s dog. He’s also a part of their sleuthing team! It’s short enough to keep the attention of an emerging reader and would also make a great bedtime story!

Murder At Music Hall (A True North Murder Mystery Book 1)Murder At Music Hall by A. J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder at Music Hall is the first book in the True North Murder Mystery series. I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more from this series!

Trueman North has channeled his tragic past into a determination to find justice for victims of murder. He is focused and diligent, never taking the easy way out. Now retired as a detective and working as a PI, North has been hired by a man who believes that the wrong person was accused of his son’s murder. Now North must find the real killer, and why they did it, as well as proving that the man who was accused is innocent.

As North seeks insights into the victim’s life and death from a variety of sources, we get drip fed bits of information that may or may not lead to the murderer. Many characters have secrets, but not all of their secrets are clues. Some of the secrets are quite dark and may be triggering to some readers.

This is an engrossing read for mystery fans who enjoy a story that will make them think. I particularly enjoyed the orchestral setting as it’s fun getting to see behind the scenes at the orchestra. It gets four stars from me!

We were so excited to pick up another book by this author! I haven’t found anything I disliked about his books yet because he has such a way with words. Rhyming is great for kids, but I find myself bouncing along with the rhythm as well. Somehow, he created something that is part rhythmic fun and part valuable life lesson. The list of courage builders at the end was something I hadn’t seen before and made my kids add more ideas to their own courage lists! We all experience these big feelings like fear, panic, relief, and bravery, so to learn about it in a children’s book was fascinating! It should absolutely be focused on more with earlier development. The illustrations were icing on top of a delicious cake as well. I highly recommend sharing this with kiddos in your life whether that’s in your family or in your classroom!

You’re grabbed from the very first page and your attention is held throughout the entire book. We follow as we try to find Princess Sheona, who is Nessie’s Daughter. She’s stuck in a maze, and it seems like all hope is lost. Can Linda and Craig get to her in time? I highly recommend picking this up and enjoying it with the younger ones in your life!

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by the author, K. Rose, and it was a pleasant, quick and fun read. While this is book 9 in the Silver Springs Pets Series, it is a standalone and the series can be read in any order.

The book has an unusual take on vampires that is quirky with a side of romance (reverse harem). Have you ever heard of a VEGAN vampire? No, I didn’t think so. On a horrible date, the FMC, Basil, is turned into a vampire and ends up in a supernatural sanctuary called Silver Springs. The FMC is a brilliant biomedical engineer and puts her skills to use to create a synthetic serum, so she does not need to drink blood – hence being vegan. I loved how creative this book was in every aspect, the plot, the world building, and the characters. At times it did remind me a tad bit of Twilight, specifically that the vampires are sparkly. I do wish that the FMC had more character development, but it was enough to still enjoy her character thoroughly.

This book will take your emotions on a rollercoaster – laughing out loud to crying. If you are looking for a quick quirky read that is drenched in spice, fated supernatural mates, glittery vampires, and full of adventure then I recommend you definitely pick this book up and read it! You will not be disappointed.

Lois Wickstrom has once again taken me back to being a young person. I so very much enjoyed this very adorable chapter book. It was full of amazing characters, a little mystery, friendship, loyalty, acceptance, and all the things that being a kid encompass. Lois has written the story so beautifully that illustrations aren’t necessary. If you’ve got a young person, ages 7-10 (or any age, really, if they’re interested, of course) I highly recommend this book (like allllll her other books) be added to your library. She is an amazing author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! I just LOVE these stories! This was just as thrilling as the previous in the series have been. I read this in a couple days. The story is action packed with a suspenseful side. This just Wowed me! I loved how we dive right in and the story really entranced me. The main characters are nothing short of extraordinary. Finlay is so confident and strong! She won’t let another push her around or treat her poorly. She is not afraid to stand up for herself and the way she finagles her way in and out of tight spots is impressive. Drake is one of the team we learn a bit about in here. He basically has one job to do but does not realize who he is up against. Then he has to reassess the whole situation.

Secondary characters are plentiful. They all had a purpose and they served it well. My only issue is it seemed that once they were off-page they disappeared to either never be heard from again or until their purpose was served. I get the main storyline is about whats going on between the MC but a line stating they made it to safety or something would have sufficed.

Overall this is an exciting and thrilling adventure we tag along on. I look forward to more in this series!

This is the 2nd book in the House of Valdis series and we get a little more of Xenobia’s backstory. You really do need to read the prequel and the 1st book in order to fully understand what’s going on as we pick up roughly 6 months after the 1st book ends. I love the multiple POV’s we get in each chapter as it really allows you to relate to the different characters and gain insights that you otherwise wouldn’t have. This is a quick read and I can’t wait to see what Valkyrie has in store for Xenobia in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really intriguing and interesting read. It is a mixture of a crime, mafia, and romance all mixed together to create a unique story that I couldn’t put down. The author does an really great job with the characters as well. I loved Harriett. My heart went out to her as she struggles with things from her past as well as struggling with losing her father in the line of duty.
She is on a mission to find out who murdered her father and knows she has to infiltrate the crime family to find the answers she is looking for.
With her background and experiences she thinks this will be a walk in the park what she doesn’t expect is Trey.

Trey is part of the crime family and is set on working his way to the top. The chemistry between Harriett (Harry) and Trey is sizzling and could end up getting them both burnt.
Harriett really wants him to change she believes it’s not too late for him to change but is she right?
Could she be placing herself into a dangerous situation emotionally as well as physically?

This is a story filled with twists and turns, danger and intrigue. It is fast paced and I couldn’t put it down. I had to know whether Harriett solves the mystery of her father’s death and saves the man she is attracted to or if she will end up losing everything. This is a great read.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is…different and not necessarily in a bad way…it’s just ehh. I liked the premise of it and the set up of a variety (and I mean variety) of supernatural beings living in a warded village together was fantastic. I think the biggest thing holding me back with this book is the plot development, character development, and writing. I liked the premise but there were so many plot hole or places where all of a sudden things just happened (or didn’t happen) and it didn’t really make sense or it felt really rushed. And I loved the characters. Basil, Jo, JJ, and Theo make for quite the interesting reverse harem BUT their development (or lack thereof) really hinders my overall feel for the book and in turn them. They weren’t developed much past their initial introduction and there are quite a few holes in their stories…especially Basil and she’s our main character. There are also some side characters that I would have liked to see have more development but were just kind of there or just got completely cast to the side by the end of the book. As for the writing…it was tolerable in the beginning but as it went on I just felt that it got more and more juvenile and it was hard for me to finish. I found my self rolling my eyes and sighing quite a bit at what was happening and what was being said. I really think this could be a great story with more development and it’s not a horrible book as is. It just wasn’t really my cup of tea. But it is a quick, definitely spicy read that would be great for in-between those longer books.

Fearless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #5)Fearless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Author Fletcher has written another beautiful love story and a perfect ending to a great series. This heartwarming, entertaining story about Sara, James and Noah is well worth the read and while it can be read as a stand alone, reading in order will fill your heart entirely.

Sara and her son Noah are adorable. Looking for a place to call their own, a place they don’t have to look over their shoulders, a place where they fit in and can settle down. As a traveling nurse that is hard to do until Sara lands a job in Langston Falls, home of the Bennetts! While not really looking for love Sara also finds James Bennett…”He felt like coming home…It was a sense of peace and joy, better than any fairytale or dream.”

James Bennett is fresh off an unexpected break up. He has decided to just live his life and enjoy his father and siblings. He would be fine. With his father just released from the hospital after a heart attack that shook the entire Bennett family, James gets to meet the traveling nurse that will aid in dad’s recovery, but first he gets to entertain her child, Noah.

Sara and James meet under special circumstances, a momma bear protecting her cub. Such a cute and endearing way for these two to finally meet. And knowing this author and this series, happiness won’t be far behind…but first there is the little thing about Noah’s birth father. That bit will be the deciding factor in Sara’s decision to stay in Langston Falls or to continue her nomadic ways.

While I am sad that this series has ended, I am looking forward to other stories this author will bring us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bailey is a widow with two teenager daughters, what time do I have for Life let alone a social life but one day will change the whole future.

Bailey is a VP in Havelin and is good at her job but when she has to take a trip to sort out a problem at the factory in St Louis she is surprised at who she is sitting next to.

Fox has had his ups and down, now the CEO of Havelin he is settled and the boys since his divorce, but his luck changes when he is seated next Bailey Grant one of his VP’s and a woman he has admired from a far. As the conversation flows and the chemistry is discovered between the two of them, Fox braves to ask her out which she accepts.

Over the weeks and months the relationship grows and gets stronger with feelings of love but when it comes to the crunch can they both overcome there histories and the stares of the company they will get.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it was a lovely romance novel about two people having bad histories to then finding the one person they should be with. Straight from the first chapter you get to see in the world of Bailey and fall in love with her instantly. I loved the way that the book had both POV’s but you had a fair few chapters in that persons mind which I think in better than swapping each page it sometimes gives you whiplash.

The character of Fox was brilliant just enough sweetness with the punch of being a strong alpha but not too much. The whole story is just a feel good story and with the secondary characters makes this book a great read. His interaction with his sons is warm and shows he is a great father, also the care he takes with understanding Bailey’s point of views is lovely to read.

I can’t wait to read more from this brilliant author.

Even though this isn’t my first time reading stories by Lois Wickstrom, this is my first time reading any of the Nessie books. It’s a really intriguing and adventurous read. Perfect chapter book to read with your little ones that are a little older. It’s short and fun 🥰 another hit with my older nephew who is just starting out with chapter books. We’re gonna have to go back to read the previous two books of the series. we look forward to reading more about Linda and Craig’s adventures and also look forward to reading more from this author🥰
