Resisting Nature (Powder River Pack Series) by Brooke May – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Resisting NatureResisting Nature by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and exciting paranormal romance, featuring wolf shifters and fated mates, which had me hooked from start to finish. This is the fourth book featuring the werewolves of the ‘Powder River Pack’, but it can be read as a standalone story. Alexa Hart is starting over in a new town far away from the troubles of her past and has a promising new career to focus on. She’s not looking for a relationship but then she meets Miles and just can’t deny their instant connection. Although shifter Miles Fischer is known as a lady’s man, as soon as he meets Alexa, he knows she’s, his mate. However, finding out that Miles is a shifter is too much for Alexa after her last relationship and she pushes him away. Miles is prepared to fight for her and when the mysteries from her past are discovered he’s willing to fight that too. Once again, I was immersed in the world of the ‘Powder River Pack’ as the descriptive narrative brings both the setting and the characters vividly to life. The chemistry between Miles and Alexa sizzled off the page, and I love a fated mate romance!

What an amazing story. I was pulled in shortly after I started it. This will have you feeling all the emotions. There are secrets being hdiden from these two. All they want is to be able to go on with their lifes and things are so out of their control. Can they make the right decision? Is it worth the cost. The story is written in such a beautiful way. It’s engaging and you can’t put it down once you start. You want to know what happens with them. I can’t recommend this story enough. I would love to read more from these two authors.

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Shelly Kittell

Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace #1)Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Quite the intriguing tale. Ashton and Zachary shared every bit of their story with us. I feel like I knew every little detail including the BDSM dom/sub sex thing. As a story, it kept me engaged and wanting to follow it. The whole BDSM isn’t my angle but if this is your genre, this would be a story worth going for. The whole gang enveloped Ashton like she was one of them. She is very strong. I was quite surprised to learn she was a retired person from that arena. It’s a steamy romance with really good characters, a good story and worth your time to purchase and read. Just the descriptions of Ashton alone will make you drop your jaw and have a new book boyfriend.

The back and forth between Riley and Cole is amusing. Cole dishes it out and Riley just gives it right back to him. The secrets between them are just getting bigger and bigger. I read through the prequel and loved it. I devoured this book in record time. It’s not necessary to read the prequel, but it would be a great benefit. It made a lot more sense knowing the backstory. The cliff is high and the drop off the cliff is steep, But worth every second of. Isla has done it again with this fantastic book in the Hidden Valley world.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deja Brew had me laughing out loud. The characters are great. The family drama is real and so funny. Mango is just a delight. Cash was out to break hearts and take names.

Maisy has everything on the line. Her brother, her future, her dad’s approval all hinge on this one little thing that she is about to do. She just can’t bring herself to do it. All she has to do is walk down the aisle and say, “I do.” But, she can’t. Maisy doesn’t know how she will figure out any of the rest of the stuff but she does the one thing that she can. She runs. In her wedding dress and all. Maisy lands herself in the least expected place of all. Miller’s car.

Miller is getting out of the courthouse for something he has not told his family about when he is sitting in the car and she opens his doors, sits down, and tells him to take off. Miller doesn’t know who she is or what is going on, but he puts the pedal to the metal. Miller can’t hide his attraction to this beauty that just plopped herself into his life. While Miller is trying to figure out how to right a few wrongs from his past, he needs to figure out what is chasing this bride and how to protect her.

As Maisy fights to keep her brother, Miller is haunted by his past. As Miller and Maisy grow closer, their problems try to tear them apart. When Maisy has to make a choice of a lifetime, Miller is devastated. Miller finds a way to help Maisy and Cash. So cute!!

This is an amazing addition to this fabulous series. Love the characters. Love the family. Love the humor. Can’t wait for Lynn’s story!! If you haven’t already found a reason to jump into this series, this is it. Maisy, Miller and Cash will win you over in a heartbeat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had it’s grasp on me from the very beginning. I’m usually a very slow reader, but once I got started with this one I couldn’t put it down. I love the characters and their personalities, the banter between Maisey and Miller, and the quirky funny personality of her little brother Bear. There were a couple spicy scenes between the main characters, but they were pretty mild in my opinion, which is great because I’m not much into heavy smut. I think Miller made a great cinnamon roll character. The rumored bad boy with a sweet side determined to protect the people close to him. There were some good twists in the story as well with Miller’s past chasing him down and Maiseys overbearing parents. Overall I really loved the book and will definitely be reading more from this author

This was a quick, fun, slow burn beach read and I really enjoyed it! The main character Giuliani and her best friend Morgan meet every year for their birthday at a resort in Turks and Caicos. They enjoy the sunny vacation while it is cold and snowy in their hometowns. This is their 10th year doing it and they are excited! Giuliani hears that Morgan is delayed by snow and will be there by herself for the first few days. On the flight they hit turbulence and she ends up in a creepy old guy’s lap, but the cute guy behind her catches her eye and they share some fun banter. Then they figure out they are both headed to the same resort. Landon is going to the island to take care of business after his uncle passed away. He was not expecting to meet a beautiful woman that he wants to spend so much time with. Giuliani and Morgan had a pact, no men, on their trip but as Morgan is engaged and they are now more mature, Morgan pushes her to see Landon and find out where it could lead. Will it be just a vacation hookup? It says another book is coming this year and I will definitely pick it up!

Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie’s Grotto) by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah – Review by Jennifer Crain

Nessie and the Viking Gold (Nessie's Grotto)Nessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Nessie and the Viking Gold” by Lois June Wickstrom is an entertaining and engaging children’s book that takes readers on a thrilling adventure involving stolen coins, a legendary Loch Ness monster, and a rock concert at a historic castle. The story follows Craig, who unwittingly steals coins from a Viking treasure chest at the bottom of Loch Ness.

What makes this story particularly interesting is the unique twist that the stolen coins are somehow blessed or cursed, leading Craig to Nessie’s lair. The author manages to create an atmosphere of mystery and suspense with this plot point, keeping readers engaged from the very beginning.

The book also incorporates elements of Scottish culture, such as the setting of Urquhart Castle and the rock concert featuring the characters’ favorite singer. This adds depth and authenticity to the story, making it more relatable and enjoyable for young readers. Even as an adult, I learned things, such as the Loch was formed because it is on a fault line.

Overall, “Nessie and the Viking Gold” is a well-written and imaginative children’s book that successfully combines elements of adventure, mystery, and Scottish culture. The characters are likable and relatable, and the plot is engaging and fast-paced. Young readers will surely enjoy the thrilling escapades of Craig and Linda as they navigate their way through this exciting tale.

Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters, #2)Curse of the Sands by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After Matt was found and hurt in the previous book, he was told he needed to take time to recover before he was allowed to go back in the field. While this is happening, they offer Adam a temporary position within the team just until Matt is back on his feet. That means Adam is back and causing havoc everywhere he goes yet again. Only this time, it’s in Egypt.

After a bunch of sandstorms hit Egypt, a giant pyramid is uncovered. Never discovered or entered by anyone in this day and age. After losing the lives of those they sent inside, Egypt realizes that they may need outside help and sends for the best of the best and the British Museum is one of the teams who answered the call. With traps, poison, scorpions and maybe even a banshee, it is near impossible to get inside to explore. This does not stop Adam and the crew, they will find a way in and discover the lost secrets no matter what.

Again, the author wrote the book with 2 different timelines, the present and this time about ancient Egypt. I have always been a fan of mythology so I was excited to learn that the past was written about Isis, Set, Anubis and other gods and goddesses from that time. I don’t know that much about the Egyptian Myths so I was excited to get to learn about them. On to the next book of the series!
