Decisions Matter (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Carrie Reed

Decisions Matter: A picture book about learning right from wrong (Buddy the Blue Corgi 3)Decisions Matter: A picture book about learning right from wrong by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a cute and sweet book with a very good lesson. I love the art in this book, the animals are so cute with their different expressions. I felt so bad for Buddy, and I really liked how Donut wanted to keep all the animals of the house under control as to not make life hard for their humans. The lesson here is “tattling” on someone is not wrong when you are defending yourself from blame. I absolutely love the Bible verse at the end that can be shared with children in reference to what God says about how we act in daily life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fun, and the artwork is beautiful! The expressions on Angela and Bruce are so well done. The pig is the cutest character. Angela seems to really care for the pig and Bruce seems to just want to bother Angela and take what she wants. Angela’s determination and perseverance will help achieve her goals.

Grandma is a busy lady! She’s fun, adventurous, and can do it all! The illustrations are beautiful and grab your attention. My son loved the story and asked if his own grandma had done all of those things too. Another hit by Tricia Gardella!

RELEASE (REWIND Series) by Rowan Shaw – Review by Kerry Carr

Release (Rewind #5)Release by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the Rewind series. This is a unique read as it is short stories following on with the characters from each of the previous 4 book and how their lives have progressed. Did they all end up with their happy ever afters? It can be read on its own however I feel you would get more enjoyment from reading the previous books so you understand the struggles that each couple faced in the previous books.
These stories are about finding love and relationships which some people may be against. Such as a poly, MM relationship and Bisexuality. These stories show how hard it is for people in these types of relationships and the discrimination and prejudice they can feel at times. One thing that comes across from every couple though is the love they feel for each other. You can’t help who you fall in love with and these stories prove that, and shows just how hard some people have to fight to be with who they love.
All of the stories have angst, challenges and struggles as well as steamy romance through. There are also some trigger warnings in these stories so I would recommend checking them out before starting this book.
These stories are brilliantly written and what underpins each one is love and acceptance which makes each story beautiful in its own right.

Murder in Prospect (An Eve Sawyer Mystery) by Jane Suen – Review by Robin Rankin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder in Prospect: An Eve Sawyer Mystery

With some series it takes a chapter or two to remember the previous book/books and storyline. That was not the case with this book.

Eve is a great friend and she proves it once again when Bob come to her for help and she goes with no questions.

Bob has a feeling the death of his Uncle Will isn’t as cut and dry as it appears. The vibes from his Uncle the last time they saw each other was very different from Will’s usual.

I love trying to figure things out before the reveal and this time I got it, but it took me a bit.

I have enjoyed the Eve Sawyer books I have read, hope to see more in the future.

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by Angela Shirley

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago, #2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicole is from the elite world of the Titans, having to act the certain way and has to be perfect in everyway. When she decides to go on holiday in Costa Rica and let her hair down she is in for one big treat. Seeing him, ending up in bed with him for one night was the best hurrah before going back to school, but when walking into the new semester I got more than I was bargaining for.

Callum was up for a fling on holiday with a hot girl and its fun until he goes back to teaching but he just can’t seem to shake her from his system. First day back in class and who walks in his dream girl from holiday but she is his student. They try and keep the chemistry at bay and act professional but that starts to waver as he is a Titan and he gets what he wants, but when someone threatens him and Nicole, can money and power really help?

This is the second book in this series and it is explosive off the page. The characters as in the first book are well developed, with a fast paced story to boot.

I loved the character of Nicole as although she is privileged in a way she was full of sass and determination of her own to succeed and knew what she wanted. Callum’s character was the typical alpha male role you find but this also showed a vulnerability to him in the story that money and power means nothing if you love and care for someone.

This is full of twists and turns and surprises which will have you chasing down the leads and turning the pages to see how this will end. Although part of the series it can easily be read as a stand alone book but I do recommend reading more books by this wonderful author.

I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm

Forbiddenly Yours is the second book in the Titans of Chicago Series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you’ve finished. I pretty much devoured this book in one afternoon sitting because I simply had to know what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already as it’s just as good as this one plus you get to know the characters better. This is Callum and Nicole’s story . What happens when your one night stand turns out to be your professor? The chemistry between them is electric and off the charts. In fear of giving something away I’m just going to highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

  1. Made to Love Her: Romantic Suspense Novella (Moore Family Saga)Made to Love Her: Romantic Suspense Novella by Michele Sims
    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author and she always surprises me. This book is a short romance with a little thriller mixed in. This is part of the very addictive Moore Family saga. You are going to love these characters right from the start. I read this novella straight through. It only took me about an hour. This story kept me on the edge of my seat until the end and I can’t wait to read more about this family.

Case Moore is a very well known saxophonist in his band. They are invited to play for the Millennial Olympic Games in Greece. He invites his beautiful wife Lecia to come with. Case thinks it is going to be so much fun but it all turns into trouble. He has to do everything to protect his wife but will it be too late? Can their love really conquer all or will their past destroy them first?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew me away. I love a good paranormal romance but this story exceeded my expectations. You will fall in love with these two characters right from the start. There is a male to male romance that goes on as well but it is beautifully written. I can’t wait to see if we get to read more about these characters in another book.

Kenai and Mikael go to the same school as each other. They find out that they are going to be on the opposite sides of this horrible conflict that could destroy the world. They both have a duty to their families but they start to have feelings for one another. Will love be enough or will it destroy the whole world?

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Series) by Anise Storm – Review by M Policicchio

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago, #2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you know anything about this series, you know that these are high drama, high steam, anxiety-filled stories of love and lust. This one is no different.

These ‘Titans’ are powerful, influential men of business. Maybe they have gotten that way by working hard and establishing themselves as men to be revered in their field that have built something out of nothing over time. Maybe they are the sons or grandson of these powerful men that have grown up knowing what is expected of them. This is Callum Meyers’ story. He is a legacy Titan, growing up knowing that he was watched and things were expected of him.

Callum didn’t want to pursue business, so he turned to education. He was the youngest professor in UChicago’s history. As Callum prepared for the upcoming semester, he vacationed at the family home in Costa Rica. On a whim and with a friend, Callum went to a retreat where you were supposed to be able to do some soul-searching. While there, Callum met a beautiful woman. After the retreat, he invited her to a party at his house.

Nicole usually did everything that was expected of her. But this one time, she wanted to do something different, something unexpected. Nicole went to the soul-searching retreat. Nicole accepted the invitation from the strange man to his party. When she got there, Nicole was entranced by Callum. They talked. He overwhelmed her senses. They had an ONS that would keep Nicole warm with vivid memories for years to come.

When Nicole’s parents decided that it was time for her to go to Chicago to study for her senior year of college, Nicole was delighted. She had only been asking for several years. Nicole found out that her parents finally gave in so that she would be far away during her mother’s cancer treatments. She almost decided not to go. When she started class, her first class on the first day, the professor just happened to be the man she had the ONS with in Costa Rica. OMG!!!

Nicole and Callum acknowledge that any relationship is forbidden and unethical, as she is now his student. They stay away from each other, except the verbal sparring in class, for weeks. Until the chemistry becomes too much and explodes all over his office in a heated exchange. Nicole and Callum keep their relationship secret for months until the pressure from that and Nicole’s mother’s declining health become too much for Nicole. She walks away from Callum.

Nicole had developed a friendship with a fellow student, Travis. I have to say that I didn’t like Travis from the beginning. I always thought he was suss, the way he just popped up. Naw, don’t trust him. Travis was there for Nicole in the aftermath of her relationship. I can’t say much more without saying too much. Ugh. Don’t grow attached to Travis. He so shady.

Minus some repetitive explanations, this book is amazing. The spice. The drama. The emotions. I am not sure I will forgive the author for that big emotion. I was not expecting it. I was not ready. A stellar addition to the Titans series. If you haven’t started reading about the Titans, you should. Start here. Start now.

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago, #2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbiddenly Yours Is the second book of the Titans of Chicago Series. After reading the first one I wanted to jump into the next story. The Professor/Student relationship was chefs kiss. It’s a trope I would like to read more about lol. This has to be my favorite one so far but we’ll see. Callum and Nicole were great characters with some great deployment throughout the story, each with their own set of flaws and personal struggles that make them relatable. The plot moves swiftly, with enough twists and turns to you well engaged. The author excels in creating an emotional connection between the characters and builds such an amazing world that you wish to be a part of. For anyone who enjoys romance with a bit of tension, passion and drama, I suggest you read not only this one but also the first one. You will not regret it, I’m the least. I can’t wait for part 3.
P.S. They really need to do something about the laws on stalking because waiting til it escalates sometimes to the point of no return is ridiculous and needs to be fixed.

She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl (My Cowboy Series) by Brooke May – Review by Beverly Finnie

She's My Rhinestone Cowgirl (My Cowboy #7)She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl is a sweet second chance romance. Between two characters who were teenage sweethearts before dreams came before feelings. This is their journey back to one another. The author gives the reader exactly what they want. Love, romance, animosity, jealousy and so much more. I’ve read this author plenty of times and I will keep coming back for more just on merit. This book is no different. Part of a series which reads very well as a standalone novel. But I bet when you’re done you will want more.
Trinity chose the path she’s on. Local Rodeo Queen, she wanted to represent the state but ended up being runner up. However this life came with sacrifices. Her independence being the biggest one, and Shooter coming in at a close 2nd. He didn’t fight for her then, what makes her think he still wants a chance now.
Shooter had his heart broken by Trinity, but guess what he’s back and they are now in the same town. Having yet to cross paths he’s not sure how he will react when they do. She left him for a dream and though he understood it doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
Does he still want her?
Does she still want him?
Jump in and see how these two navigate these very questions. How they get past obstacles in their way, even with the help of others.
This author isn’t one to let the reader down, so hopefully that gives anyone enough faith to check this story out!

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago, #2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Titans of Chicago series. I haven’t read the first book and I think this book could be a stand-alone. It wasn’t confusing at all. The book is a dual POV with Callum, a professor, and Nicole, his student.

They met on vacation in Costa Rica, and we’re instantly drawn to each other, not knowing who the other one was, Callum a Titan of Chicago and a professor and Nicole, the daughter of a Titan of Los Angeles. After a one-night stand, Nicole flew home to Los Angeles before they could say goodbye to each other. She then moves to Chicago to finish her degree and unknowingly chooses one of Callum’s classes. First day of school they meet again and try to avoid the lingering feelings they both feel.

I enjoyed reading this book. It has forbidden love, sex, drama and danger with an unexpected twist I didn’t see coming. I liked both the characters and I liked the relationship they develop along the way. I can’t wait to read the other books in this series and the other books by Anise Storm.

An Ember of Hope (War of Destiny Series) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Mandy Ott

An Ember of Hope: War of DestinyAn Ember of Hope: War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Ember of Hope is the Theresa Van Spankeren book I didn’t know I needed! This book is part of the War of Destiny Series, and is more or less a companion novel, as it is Matthew’s story, taking place between books 2 and 3 of the main series. Van Spankeren creates the same amazing world full of vampires, historical figures, and other fantastical beings. I found myself, once again, immersed in the conflict between Valentino and the Resistance, told from the unique perspective of Matthew, recovering from his time in captivity. I found Matthew’s nightmares following his dilemma brutal and heartbreaking, yet honest and realistic. Some of the same great characters emerge in this book, as well as some new ones. There is so much detail in this book, but it is woven together so seamlessly that it only adds to the overall drama of the story. What an amazing addition to the already great War of Destiny world!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved every book that I have read set in Buckeye Falls. The characters are relatable and the plot lines and conflicts are so true to life and families and love. This book followed Mallory, one of the Lawson kids and Beckett, one of her and Evan’s best friends growing up. Mallory is a nurse in the ER and living an ok life. She has friends and loves her family but she has been pining over Beckett since they got “married” at 12 years old. Beckett just lost his grandpa from cancer and is moving home. He broke Mallory’s heart unintentionally a few years before and then just traveled the country. They keep running into each other and with Evan planning to propose they are thrown into the planning. They are having a hard time keeping their feelings from showing and they really don’t want Evan to know. Mallory needs to make it through the engagement and maybe something can happen with Beckett. I hope there is more to come because I just can’t put these books down!

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate #11)Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Bistrita is the 11th book in the Masters of the Consulate series. While I have not read them all, I would suggest reading book 10 before this one, otherwise you wont know what the heck is going on. This book picks up where the previous book left off. While I have enjoyed what I have read of this series, this book was not my favorite. I am not really into BDSM, and the only book I really read with it was 50 shades. And parts of this book felt very much like that- contract, signing NDA, etc. With looking past that, and quickly speed reading those sections, I enjoyed the rest of the book. I like all the mixed relationships and the plot of the series as a whole. I enjoyed the characters as each as Bistrita and Chara are both strong personalities and love fiercely.

Forever to Fall was cute. I love this series and while I probably say this every time, this may have been my fav in the series. I love that Beckett is a little misfit- red hair, glasses that are always askew, WoW gamer. Mallory has been the sister to Evan the last couple books so it was nice to see her character develop. The back story of their childhood and Beckett’s grandparents was a nice touch. Very clean romantic story with great characters. I look forward to the next book, and will be sad when the series runs out of characters and ends. Libby Kay, If you’re reading this, please give us cheesy bite recipe! You’ve been raving about them for 5 books and I so very much want to try them!

I just want to live in Buckeye Falls with all of these amazing characters. I absolutely loved seeing Mallory get her own story and the back story was so sweet. 15 years ago she had a pretend wedding with Beckett Fox, her brother Evan’s best friend, and she has never forgotten it. We learn that over the years they grew closer until a miscommunication two years prior separated the friends. Now that Beckett is in Buckeye Falls and is the best man in Evan’s wedding, he and Mallory will be thrown together in all sorts of situations. Beckett has never forgotten that fake wedding or the way he feels for Mallory, but the idea of dating his best friend’s sister is complicated. I am so in love with this story and I absolutely recommend this and the rest of the series!

I was so excited to get to read the second book in this series. Julia continues to come into her own, growing from a timid shy girl to a woman who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself or the people she loves. Book 2 picked up right where we left off in book 1, and continues to keep you captivated right from the beginning. This is not a story that you will be able to put down as the twists and turns keep you guessing at every turn. The author does a great job of keeping you engaged and wanting to know more about the dangers. The characters, as the first book, continue to be complex and well written, you really feel like you could see and know them. I absolutely enjoyed getting to read book 2 and I can’t wait for the rest.

Trinity had to make a lot of sacrifices for her dreams including Shooter. Years later Shooter is back in town as a Sheriff and Trinity is so close to starting the chapter in her life. The connection between these two is still just as strong as it was before. Will they be able to overcome the past to build a future together? If you want to find out then this is a must read. This book can be read as a standalone. My advice is to read all the books in this series because this author is very talented and I have never been disappointed in anything I have read by her. I look forward to reading more. I recommend this book.

I loved how the book was action, and you got to know the emotions the characters felt. James is very lucky but also not very lucky because someone is after him due to a lottery ticket. Dave is also a person who tries to win the lottery but doesn’t get lucky. Dave is also a drug dealer. The book is also about how one person could be so lucky and win at life but can also come back to hurt them. I recommend this book to people who like other points of view and one huge plot line with many plot twists. Who will win? Find out in Mr. Lucky by Lee Wood.

Mr. Lucky is a crime thriller with a social conscience. I liked that the story is told from both of the main characters point of view. The “hero” of the tale James Sheldon, will hopefully make one look at the homeless differently and make one more compassionate about their circumstances and how they ended up homeless. The villain, Dave Rex, starts out as a likable guy till he isn’t anymore. Seeing how their lives intersect from the beginning till the end will leave you reading late into the night.

This is a young adult, dystopian story with adventure, hope, friendships, and magic. Having a bond of friendship between the four of Joey, Kyle, Brian and Lucas and fighting for what is right…this is a fantastic story and I highly encourage anyone to give this book a chance.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don’t let the page count of this book fool you…there is a lot of love, drama, deceit, suspense, and twists and turns packed into this novella.

When Cade, a jazz musician, joins his band in Greece to perform some concerts at the Millennial Olympic games, he is joined by his wife, Lecia. The two are looking forward to a “work” trip (with a built in vacation) in an amazing place…but what happens when things are not as they seem. Through a series of crazy events, the two find themselves caught in a game of lies and deceit that will test their loyalties. The two find themselves not only being able to discern the truth from the lies…but also testing their love to see if it is strong enough to survive such a cruel game of cat and mouse.

This was a quick read and I found myself on the edge of my seat the entire time! I have enjoyed this series, so it was fun to see other characters make an appearance. When you start this book…buckle up…because it’s going to be quite the ride!!
