This book is book 5 of the series. This is the first part of Phoenix and Aspen’s duet but Cruel Start should be read before this one. I have loved every minute of this series and this book is no different.
Phoenix and Aspen can’t seem to communicate without fighting. Which is pretty inconvenient when they are experiencing something they need to communicate about. I’m not going to say much about what happens in this book because I don’t want to give anything away but seriously, read it!
It is so well written. The characters are great, even though their behavior sucks sometimes. I was hooked from the beginning and can’t get enough of this series. There is so much angst and feeling you get sucked into the world! I highly recommend!

A personal first for me by Scott Warren, this book is a TERRIFIC read!! It immediately sucked me in… and then I turned the page and it said chapter 1. I kid you not, I was instantly hooked and was ready to know what was going to happen by the end of the prologue. The entire time I read this I got Lord of the Rings meets Deadpool type vibes. The main character, Marluck, reminds me of Deadpool in his personality. This is an awesome adventure and the character development throughout is fantastic. I will be looking for more Scott Warren books in the very near future!

If Hallmark made raunchy movies, this would be it. Small town girls meets her Prince after a horrible breakup while she goes on her pre-purchased honeymoon. Sprinkle in civil unrest and an evil princess, you have the classic romance novel. I wish we got a little more backstory with each character. Even though they felt an instant connection, I didn’t feel that with our two main characters. I did however, feel the instance hated if Fyn’s parents and abigail towards Bridgette. The descriptions of their encounters were spot on. Ultimately, this This was a quick entertaining read that you will not want to put down.

Royally Complicated: (A Stand-alone Royal Forbidden Romance) (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1)
So very thankful for long weekends, if today had been a work day I might have called in sick so I could finish devouring this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and only put it down long enough to make supper and eat.
Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s writing styles blend perfectly in this book. I have read several of their books individually and one other collaboration and have not been disappointed one.
I love trying to figure out what’s going to happen next but they were able to surprise me a few times.
Fyn and Bridget work so well together and even with all that they have to deal with, they find their way.
I already have the next book loaded on my Kindle to read and I can’t wait.

This was an amazing read. The development of the plot and the characters was wonderful. Gwyn does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged.
This book follows the stories of Bridgets and Fyn. Bridget just wanted to get away from the reality of what happened back home with her ex. her best friend talks her into going on a girls’ trip to help her forget him and move on.
Fyn is tired of his parents meddling in his life and telling him what he can and cannot do all of the time. He just wanted a few hours of solace alone in his favorite place on the island. His own beach where he can enjoy a stress-free ride on the waves.
When Bridget gets fed up with her friend she wanders off with an old friend, a bottle of tequila. She finds her way to a beach that seems to be empty. When she notices a handsome man off in the distance riding the waves. Once he finally, emerges she is entranced by his features. One thing leads to another and they are getting very close and personal. Unfortunately, their intimate moment gets interrupted by the royal guard.
What happens when a commoner sleeps with the crowned prince? Can they be together or is this just a fling? Will the royal family approve of a woman with no noble blood? What happens when two souls are ripped apart?
Read this book to find out what happens with Fyn and Bridget. I also suggest some water because the steam in this book is sure to heat your blood.

A Rainbow Like You by Andrèa Fehsenfeld was such a great story. This is the first I’ve heard of this author and believe me, if they always write like this then sign me up for it all. The characters, the story line, the emotion… truly I have nothing I would change. I appreciate each of the characters and their growth. The book is really big on that, and the friendship between Adrian “Jazzer” and Hastings was beautiful. After coming back from a year long hiatus, Adrian has realized it’s not going to be an easy comeback, he cannot write, his band is falling apart and he’s just found someone has been hiding on the bus, and that’s the last thing he needs. But turns out it’s exactly what he needs at after all. The pair push each other and help one another on their journey through friendship. There are some twists and a lot of heated arguments but lord I can’t with what happened. You’ll have to read it for yourself!!

Everything was a blood bath, Kodiak challenged as an Alpha, their headquarters a mess, bodies buried but the memories remain. Tamaska is still not safe, but she’s also bonded to an Alpha and she wants to be changed into a werewolf herself and is by no means patient about it. Kodiak however is not sure she would survive the change and knows they are missing something regarding Tamaskas past Meanwhile the Vampires need her but they are restless trying to capture her but now that she’s shown her hand they know if they capture Kodiak that’s the next best thing and it will draw her in eventually. How does the blood opal play into this, what do those vamps want it for, what does it have to do with Tamaska. Can she and Kodiak get out alive, can he lead the pack, and is he finally going to turn her? This series is not a stand alone. If you want to understand these characters get the prior books and enjoy then. I’m excited to learn there is a 4th book!

As in previous books, Marie Deblassie takes a wonderfully informative approach to magic and it’s power by introducing it in such a relaxed way. As someone who thinks that, if I’m learning about new things, I must know EVERYTHING or else I know nothing, her approach makes learning about spirituality and all it entails much more within reach.
It’s beautiful to be led through how magic is within the world around us, and having the extra knowledge makes it both more accessible and more every day while also really teaching you and leading you through your own journey of discovery. I will continue to follow this author and continue to appreciate and participate in the magic of the world each day. If you have any interest in spirituality and what the signs all mean, do yourself a favor and enjoy the prose and beauty of Marie DeBlassie while increasing your knowledge!

I have followed this author through many stories and am pleased to find that this book is just as wonderful as the others I have read! Bridget is going through it right now. Her fiancé cheated, and now she’s on “their” honeymoon because who wouldn’t want to get away after an earth-shattering revelation like that? She finds a surfer, Fyn, who turns out to be a prince. Could this turn into a real-life fairytale, or is this just a simple rebound? I really enjoyed the flow of this story as I was sucked into this reality before I realized it. I sat down to read a couple chapters and looked up to find it was hours later! This has romance, drama, steamy scenes, and plenty of other emotions, so go ahead and pick it up to get lost for the day.

Murder Creek is Book One in the Eve Sawyer Mystery Series. It is a murder mystery that centers around the character of Eve Sawyer. Eve is a journalism student who chooses to write an article about a woman who went missing twenty years ago. The only clue to the woman’s disappearance was a bloody scarf that was left behind. Eve decides to delve into the case acting as an amateur sleuth to solve the cold case. Eve has an ability that few others prior to her had which give her a bit of an upper hand in solving the case. As an empath she has unique abilities that allow her to notice minute details that others might overlook. Eve can also feel and sense the moods of others which allows her to tune into their mindset. An added bonus is that as an empath people feel more comfortable with Eve and will openly confide in her.
This was a wonderfully written book with an intriguing storyline and relatable characters. I adored the character of Eve and felt a connection with her. She was smart, feisty, determined, and courageous. I loved that the author chose to write Eve as an empath because I have not yet read about a character with that ability. Empaths have unique gifts and abilities that often get overlooked. They can pick up on energy, moods, and feelings of those around them. Empaths can often sense when someone is lying and picking up on negative energy. Empaths are those that others generally feel comfortable around enough to open up and discuss things that they generally would not divulge to anyone else. How do I know this? I know from personal experience because I discovered a few years ago that I am an empath. Random strangers have come up to me at bus stops and at my workplace and told me things that they have never told another person. These individuals were surprised afterwards that they told me what they had. I can sense other people’s moods and pickup on their energy. Negative energy is emotionally draining so it is important to be surrounded by happy, positive individuals. A huge shoutout to the author for giving the character of Eve the unique ability of empath. This book had action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and a few twists and turns that kept me reading until the end. I anxiously await the next book in this amazing series!

We return with Tamaska and Kodiak…the Blood opal is missing and Tamaskas world has been absolutely rocked to the core. The passion builds between these two as they begrudgingly work together unable to deny the connection between them and the heat that fires so quickly into an inferno.
Tamaska continues to be stubborn and there are many unanswered questions about why she’s starting to feel a little less human and a little more….what exactly.
Can Kodiak protect his pack while dealing with his Alpha who doesn’t want him anywhere near Tamaska and protect Tamaska from the Vampires who want her… blood… or is it more than that Good read!

I have read quite a few books by this author, and none of them disappoint! This one is slightly different as it is non-fiction, but I still absolutely loved every bit of it. I enjoy her point of view on magic, the Tarot, and spirituality in general. It’s no coincidence why I’ve picked up so many of her books! She writes a poem with each card she draws and really leans into how you should reflect on yourself and your situation in order to best receive answers. Instant knowledge or persistent questions will not lead you down the path you’d like with the Tarot. This author will not be losing me as a fan anytime soon, and I urge you to give any one of her books a chance. If you find yourself drawn to Tarot, spirituality, or magic, this one is definitely for you. Even if that doesn’t seem like your genre, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed this story….the boys are back!! Jon and Frank Reed are on another journey while attending a school for the Perceptually Gifted …this time Zodiac Games are on the horizon. While trying to hone in on their gifts and learning how to use them, Jon and Frank also want to participate in the Zodiac Games and bring home a win for their house. When strange things happen….there are so many questions….this shadowy figure is causing some problem….Jon is seeing this questionable figure and feels like he cannot tell anyone to help while having issues sleeping as well…and sickness is hitting the students, will Jon and Frank be able to figure out what is happening with this and also what is going on with this shadowy figure that Jon can see that haunts him…
This book was a fun read full of gifts, mystery, adventure and magic. I highly recommend reading book 1 as you get to know the characters and continue into this story.

I could not wait to read this book since I loved the first book so much and it definitely did not disappoint! While this book could be read as a stand alone, I definitely recommend reading this series in order, you get to know the characters….and picking up heading to Ireland…Con and Neve are on their next venture…danger, intrigue, suspense, drama and roller coaster that emotions that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Con and Neve are asked to be of assistance for Con’s brother Eamonn, asking for medical help and advise for his fiancee, Ciara. Unfortunately, Ciara is troubled by these nightmares that lead to self harm. When the pieces of the puzzle start coming together….Ciara’s condition leads to these video gaming and a cult is in need of a sacrifice.

I highly recommend this book…..kept me at the edge of my seat and very enjoyable and hard to put down!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it really took me by surprise! I hadn’t heard of this author before, but I am beyond happy that I decided to pick this up and give it a shot. The amount of depth and development of each character was wonderful, and it really made it easy to connect with them all. There are so many emotions entangled in this story! It’s definitely not your average rock star romance, but I was still incredibly entertained. The flow of the story had just a couple of bumps here and there, but overall was great. The tale of Adrian and Hastings’ friendship is emotional and absolutely one-of-a-kind. I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us because I’m already anticipating the next one!

A Rainbow Like You is a contemporary fiction book with drama, love, loss, heartache, heartbreak, drama, angst, and tension. The story centers around the character of musician Adrian “Jazzer” Johnson and is told from his POV. Adrian has loved music from an early age and was always driven by the passion to succeed and become a rock star. He dropped out of high school and chose to focus on his career, becoming the leader of a hugely successful rock band. Adrian’s life is not all sunshine and lollipops as he had hoped. The perfect life he hoped for did not happen for him and becoming a popular rock star did not guarantee his happiness. His marriage at a young age turned into a traumatic divorce. He lost his mother, has a less than desirable relationship with his dad, and has turned to alcohol to cope. With so much going on Adrian cannot seem to have the ability to create any new music. Adrian’s life is spiraling out of control until he meets a young girl by the name of Hastings. She has the ability to see music in colors which is a stark contrast to Adrian’s color blindness. Hastings tells Adrian that she can help him, and he reluctantly agrees to accept her help. As the two spend time together they share stories of painful pasts.
This book was beautifully written and not what I expected at all. It was not the typical bad boy, drug addicted, swoon worthy rock star story. This book was centered around a character who seemingly had a perfect life in the sense that he had fame, fortune, and success. Yet, success came with a price and there was a lot going on behind the seemingly perfect façade. Adrian was a tortured soul with a troubled past who was fighting some inner demons. Having suffered so much heartache and loss he was suffering and drowning in his grief. When Adrian met young Hastings, they forged a friendship that helped him grow emotionally and move forward. Their friendship was endearing and heartwarming. This book was a rollercoaster ride of emotions that left me reaching for the box of Kleenex more than once. I highly recommend this book!

This authors series is amazing! When I read the first book I was completely hooked, and I couldn’t stop reading it! When I saw that there was a second book, I could not contain my excitement when I got this second book to read. I loved everything about this book and couldn’t stop thinking about it while I was working. When reading this book, I felt as though I was in the story with them and not just reading. I cannot wait to read more books in this series and more by this author!

Mia Crane is a young widow who has decided to go to college, returning to Kentucky where she used to spend time with her best friend Mitch for years. That is he was her best friend, until she invited him to her wedding only to never talk to him again. Now Mia is back and Mitch is in front of her, engaged to a woman who quickly sees the chemistry between them. As they rekindle their friendship things begin to happen that causes Mia to almost lose everything she is building. Who is behind it and can she still trust Mitch after all these years?
This was a good story, there is a lot compacted into it. I always enjoy a second chance story and this one definitely fits into this category. I think this would be a great read for a rainy day.

Bridget turns her non-refundable honeymoon into a girl’s trip with her best friend when she catches her fiancé cheating and calls off the wedding. Fueled by tequila, she has a romp on the sand with a stranger…only to find out that stranger is actually the Prince when the royal guard comes looking for him. Fast forward a year and the two are brought together again, determined to make a go at something permanent. However, Fyn has a country in turmoil, an over-bearing mother determined to marry him off to a royal, and the princess of a neighboring country who is determined to be the one to wear the crown. Can these two overcome the obstacles stand in their way? Or will Bridget and Fyn be a fairytale without a happy ending?
I really enjoyed these characters. There were moments that were hot and steamy, some that were tense and catty, and some that were just romantic as can be. It’s a modern telling of a fairytale where the prince and American commoner fall in love and are determined to make it work! I loved it!

This is a cute book. It’s got a lot of information in it, too. While the pictures are engaging, the reader is also learning about constellations, and space. As well as a lesson in accepting new people and understanding worlds others come from. I would say this book would be good for ages 5 and up. But younger kids would probably enjoy the story, too.

Rogue Wolf is the third book in the Protector Wolf Shifter series. I have read all of the other books. Just when you think the series couldn’t get better it does!!

5 Star’s Amaleigha Makes a New Friend by Janice Pratt
Amaleigha Makes a New Friend is a wonderfully written children’s book that my son and I truly enjoyed reading. We love reading about Amaleigha and what she’s doing. My son just started kindergarten and is very excited about learning all the things. What we love most about this author and her books is the message you take away from reading her books. Amaleigh’s class learns about Ukraine and having pen pals .They all get letters from their pen pals all while learning about them and what they like to do. Amaleigh learned so about from her pen pal vova. My son now wants a pen pal. We loved this book and the illustrations bring the story to life. I highly recommend reading this book. We look forward to reading more from this Author .

This short read give a bit of backstory into Phoenix and Aspens 1st encounter, everything that went down with Shane and Phoenix and Tracey, and how Phoenix hurt his hand. It was important to read. Helped tie it all together and made the story (as well as the characters) that much more intense. I am LOVING the Hidden Valley Elite books. Can’t wait for the final book in Phoenix and Aspen’s story. Eeeep!!!!

Dead Keen is Book Two in the Things Unseen Series and the sequel to Dead Sound. If you have not yet read the first book in the series, I highly recommend that you do. Book One will give you an introduction to the characters and their backstories which will give you a better idea of the ordeal that the characters have been through. Dead Keen is a gripping psychological thriller with elements of action, drama, suspense, romance, danger, and drama. Picking up where the first book left off, Neve and Con are flying to Ireland in the hopes to rest, relax, and recoup from the ordeal that they have recently been put through. The pair are enjoying the beauty of Ireland until they get entangled in a mystery involving a deadly cult. Suddenly, their magical getaway turns sinister, and they find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Neve and Con find themselves battling against video game designers, ancient gods, and evil cult leaders. The tension builds throughout the book as the pair try to unravel the lies and secrets while facing off against an evil cult leader.
Another amazing book by this talented author who drew me into the story from the first few pages and kept me hooked until the end. The writing was so vivid and descriptive that it pulled me into the story and made me feel as though I was there in Ireland with the characters. Neve and Con are a wonderful couple who fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The ordeals that they were put through brought them closer together as they leaned on each other for support. A brilliant rollercoaster ride with twists and turns that will keep you riveted until the end. I highly recommend this book!

This is the first book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. Short but enjoyable, this is an easy read. The writing was descriptive and easy to follow, flowing easily. The characters were interesting, plenty of suspects and suspicious interactions, occasionally leading to red herrings designed to leave you guessing. The storyline was great, I really loved the premise and direction the book was taking. But, while I enjoyed the idea/plot of the story and felt it held a lot of potential, at times it felt a little rushed and as a result underdeveloped. I would have loved for the book to be longer with more depth to the characters and clue discovery as at times it didn’t sense to make sense why/how this occurred. Despite this, I still enjoyed this as an easy, quick and engaging read. Overall, if you’re looking for an easy read with interesting characters this is an enjoyable read.

What a way to start a book! Instantly grabbed my attention, which I LOVE. If you can grab my attention in just the first 2 pages, then that’s a great book in my opinion. I was intrigued when I read what this book is about and my goodness, I’m glad I read this one. The suspense, the thrill…OBSESSED. I never wanted it to end. Now I’m going to start the next book of this series, because I haven’t had enough. LOVE this authors writing as well!! So so good. There’s also a little bit of romance and I just love when writers can put a little bit of each genre, in their work! Highly recommend this series!

This third book in the series has all the excitement and intrigue as the first 2! I definitely recommend reading the series in order to get all the details and full story. This book is told through Kodiak and Tamaskas point of view. They are still working to find out why the vampires want Tamaska so badly and they are hunting the Blood Opal. Tamaska makes a mistake and decides to go to her apartment to get some things. When the vampires take Kodiak to lure Tamaska out she decides to take matters into her own hands after feeling guilty for not being able to protect herself. This book has a lot of action and will keep you reading to find out more. It does of course end on a cliffhanger to lead into book4!

This series is absolutely fantastic. I read the first book, finished that and right away started this one. And just like the other, I enjoyed every page and every word! So so good. Psychological thrillers are one of my favorites and I just love the thrill and suspense I get from these books. Author is very easily and quickly becoming one of my favorites. Had me on the edge of my seat and turning pages because I just needed to know what happens next. Want an adventure? Read this!

This book was really awesome. I ended up reading some of the others in the series after I read this one. To say I’m obsessed with the Hidden Valley Elite may be a slight understatement. Phoenix and Aspen may be my favorite couple so far. They have this love/hate/love thing going on, and I am SO HERE for it. I am sitting on PINS and NEEDLES waiting for the next book to find out how their story ends. Isla Vaughn has created a world I love escaping to. Full of beautiful people, and wonderful friendships and lots of drama, mixed in. I highly suggest her! She’s got magic in her fingers. Creating worlds that give an escape from our own, even if just for the chapters, its enough to appreciate her talent.
