The Protector (The Freemasons Book 4) by Nicole Flockton – Review by Bethany Rollins

The Protector (The Freemasons #4)The Protector by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although I didn’t read the other books in this series, The Protector is easy to read as a standalone and gives us a bit of insight into the former books couplings. The subject matter may be a bit triggering to some readers, but it was well written and not graphic details. The character of Renee is so heartbreaking and stronger than she is willing to allow herself to feel. Declan is her rock and the only one she wants to open up to full heartedly. This story takes us into a form of intimacy that stems from trauma and helping each other heal in the most horrible of circumstances. I really liked the pairing of Declan and Renee and how they both had to conquer a relationship built first on trust and lack of physical touch.

Rage (Marcy Series Book 1) Audiobook by Linda Burson – Review by Cindy Mayberry

Only one word to start this review off, WOW! This is a great start to this series. Marcy is extremely independent and strong. Finding herself in a store robbery, her anger gets the best of her. As she gives the robber a beat down. Okay I had to laugh at the fact she just responded so quickly that the people around her were stunned, including the man at the register. But when her boyfriend and employees insist she get counseling for her anger issues. She decides to go as she knows she is angry but does not know why. Then in walks Liam who needs Marcys help in making mends against the people who killed his family. That’s it! No Spoilers! I have read many of this author’s books, and she never disappoints. Marcy is definitely strong and independent, Liam is seeking Marcys help and Brad, the long time boyfriend, is wanting to keep Marcy close. I love the characters in this story and am looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

Devlin by Angela K. Parker – Review by Angelina Frazzini

DevlinDevlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a standalone, forbidden office romance. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed.

Devlin is aiming for a promotion and he’s only got one to follow. No fraternizing. Seems easy enough- at first. Evelyn wants to move up so she’s going to take the steps she needs to, starting with this party. Going through a breakup makes things a bit challenging but she’s determined. She doesn’t count on Devlin and the last thing she needs is for them to get caught. Their connection is real but is it worth the risk?

I really enjoyed this book. The chemistry between Devlin and Evelyn was so believable and extended beyond the wanting want you can’t have. Definitely recommend giving it a read!

Soliloquy by Janet Fogg – Review by Tanya Wall November 2022

SoliloquySoliloquy by Janet Fogg
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

WWII is my favorite genre to read. This is a love story about a pianist who is gifted some figurines. When one breaks, Erin finds herself transported back in time to occupied France. While there, she attempts to save herself and others from a German Officer. Erin also meets a British pilot who she feels a connection to – we learn of their bravery and willingness to stand up for what is right. I enjoyed the characters and setting of this story. Time travel is “meh” to me, but it did add something to the story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was written so perfectly, could not have asked for more. With the aspect of WWII, you truly felt the emotions of the characters and what was going on. In truth, the book also had a lot of beauty!

I found the characters in this time travel story very captivating The love that was felt was very real to me and undeniable. The emotions were real, I felt I was time traveled myself to where the story is time traveled. This book showed me that in our darkest moments, we can find light. The main character who is the one time traveled, from a gift received from a decreased relative, learns. Admired Erin greatly. The interactions with her and the pilot, were beautiful and yet haunting. If you lived thru what Erin did, and learned and experienced what she did, would you give it all up to return to your life? It was a powerful read, and I could not put it down at all. When I reached the end, I must say I was unprepared. I really am hoping for a follow up book by this wonderful author! This book is an intense gem! Absolutely loved with all my soul!

I cannot say enough good things about this book or author. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year. Not kidding either! Highly recommend this must read book, as well as the author! Amazing read!

The Serpent Awakens by Luna Saint Claire – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

The Serpent AwakensThe Serpent Awakens by Luna Saint Claire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nico is a celebrated yoga master living in Los Angeles who has always relied on his charm and good looks to get him what he wants. When he is viciously attacked and nearly killed Nico starts to question his life and the choices he has made. He decides to return to his hometown of Buenos Aries in the hopes that he can figure out what his purpose in life is. Once there, he is excited to be reunited with old friends, family and an old lover but quickly realizes it is not what he was looking for. His grandmother persuades Nico to trek through Peru on a quest to find his spiritual teacher. This sends Nico on a journey of self-discovery as he navigates his way through past trauma and tries to find his place in the world.

As someone who has tried to navigate through their own personal trauma, I found Nico’s journey to be inspirational and motivating. Nico came across initially as someone who seems like he only cares about himself and his own needs. Once you get to know him better you start to see that there is more to him than he lets on and that his past traumas have impacted his life in a negative manner. It was interesting to read about his journey of self-discovery as he navigated his way through the trauma to move forward. A truly uplifting and inspiring read.

Revenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater – Review by Kerry Carr

Revenge HoneymoonRevenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and I loved them because I could see so much of me and my friend in them. The friendship between Emily and Ruby is really special and you just know no matter what these girls will be by each others side always.

When Ruby is left at the alter she is understandable heartbroken but her best friend and maid of honour comes to the rescue with a great way to save something from the disaster. The girls are going to go on the couples honeymoon cruise and have a great time. What could go wrong?
This story is full of funny laugh out loud moments, twists as the story progresses and the main theme of friendship no matter what. These girls get up to so many adventures and things you don’t even imagine but you won’t wait to put it down until the end. I fell in love with this book as well as the characters. I can’t wait to read more by this author

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily – Review by Angela Hayes

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn RanchThe Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

“A modern ranch with an ancient secret.”

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily is a western women’s fiction story- a family saga with secrets, drama, mystery, family, conflict, kidnapping, suspense, adventure, action, romance, mother daughter relationship dynamics, and palpable tension.
Ms. Daily has written a richly detailed and vividly descriptive story- her attention to detail really makes this story come to life and has given the characters a realistic and believable quality. The story is told from several POV’s, moving from past to present and back again, which captures the complexities of the storyline really well, and gives the reader a really great vantage point from which to enjoy the story.
I thought the dramatic developments were really well crafted and made the story quite engrossing. This is my favourite of the two books of Ms. Daily’s that I have read, so far, and I look forward to seeing what she does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Julia Brewer Daily!

The Rom Com Movie Club (The Rom Com Movie Club Book #1) by Bernadette Marie – Review by Angela Hayes

The Rom Com Movie Club - Book OneThe Rom Com Movie Club – Book One by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

The Rom Com Movie Club- Book One by Bernadette Marie was such a great read. It is a contemporary romance, with witty humour, banter, friendship, fate, angst, drama, chemistry, and wonderful characters.
This grabbed me right from the start and I soon found myself fully immersed in the story, reading the whole thing in one sitting. The characters were really well-crafted into fully developed individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. Our MC’s are both a little broken and carry their own pain- and were so great together. There was a little insta-love, but the author didn’t make it too easy for them, throwing in a little drama and angst, as well as meddling friends and family, to build some tension and keep us (the reader) turning the pages to find out how it all plays out in the end.
Another to add to my list of favourites by Bernadette Marie.
Bring on Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Bernadette Marie.

I haven’t read a poetry book since my elementary school days. At first glimpse I was uncertain I would make it through this book, but as I continued in and took time to really listen to the message in each poem, I found myself enjoying it! I loved the colored pages with each poem. I liked the references to the Beatles. It has challenging vocabulary but the words painted a picture of meaning. If you want to read unique poetry, you might like to give this book a try.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lisa, Mindy, Ruby, and Tina have been friends since college. Although Lisa didn’t actually attend college, she met the other girls while working at the coffee shop the others were at to study. The girls adopted Lisa into their lives, and they became an instant chosen family. Every month they gather together for a Rom Com movie night of food, face masks, and toe nail polish. On Lisa’s night, Lisa meets Tina’s soon to be brother-in-law, Ryan, and is instantly attracted to him. Tina, in the throes of wedding madness, tells Lisa that under no circumstance is she ok with her dating Ryan. While the other girls all try to help even out Tina’s wedding mania, Ryan pursues a relationship with Lisa. Can Lisa find a way to balance her love for Ryan and not get caught up with comparing their love to a Rom Com? Can Tina see that her friend’s happiness is worth more than her feelings?

Wow. What a great first book to a series! Each character was well written and all relatable. The author did a fantastic job of describing anxiety and how it affects those who suffer from it. The girls’ relationships with each other are something that everyone should have. Love that is deep and willing to tell the truth even when it hurts. People in their corner, cheering them on but pulling them back from the crazy ledge. I am really looking forward to reading about the other girls finding love!

The Dwarves’ Dilemma: A Science Folktale (Science Folktale Series) by Lois Wickstrom is a cute illustrated children’s story.
This is a ‘Snow White’ story, with a bit of a twist. It has a sweet plot with bright and colourful illustrations to hold children’s interest, a little drama, lesson/teaching moments on problem solving- fairness- making mistakes- taking responsibility- mirrors- and reflections. And includes some science experiments you can do, at home or the classroom, at the end of the book.
The story is easy to follow and understand and will easily hold a child’s attention the whole way through.
This cute and quirky story was engaging and fun, feeding both the imagination, as well as inspiring a little learning.
Happy reading!

A Christmas to Remember: An Anthology from 5 Prince PublishingA Christmas to Remember: An Anthology from 5 Prince Publishing by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

A Christmas to Remember is a wonderful Anthology From 5 Prince Publishing containing seven romantic holiday stories by some wonderfully talented authors.
These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing; and all the stories are each unique and individual to the author- but they each use the same theme, Christmas, and romance, as their inspiration.
I LOVE everything Christmas, and as all the stories in the anthology are set on and around Christmas, it makes this an even more captivating read, for me.

The Anthology contains:
-Mistletoe Memories By: Bernadette Marie
-A Rocky Mountain Romance By: Jessica Mehring
-Copper Penny Christmas By: Ann Swann
-Merry Mix-Ups By: Emily Bybee
-Falling For Christmas By: Amy L. Gale
-Christmas Pizzo By: Emersyn Kane
-The Mrs. Clause By: S.J. Reisner

All the stories are so engaging and believable- with wonderfully written plots, and well-developed characters. I have read books by several of these talented authors before- but a few of the authors were new to me, so I was excited to not only read the work of the authors I know and love, but also be able to get an introduction to some authors who are new to me and see what they can do. I can see each of these stories making great holiday movies too.
So, settle down for some wonderful reading, which will entice you with heart melting romance.
Happy Reading…

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence Book 2) by Amy Rivers – Review by Christine Baranek

Stumble & Fall (A Legacy of Silence, #2)Stumble & Fall by Amy Rivers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stumble & Fall
By: Amy Rivers

SUCH A GOOD STORY! Let me just start with that.
This is the second book in the Legacy of Silence. But I have not read the first book (yet, going to order it right now!) and it read perfectly fine. You may be missing just a little bit of background information regarding Tilly and Kate, but nothing that can’t be figured out through context clues.
This story is heavy, dealing with rape and sex trafficking. It may be triggering to some so a warning might be appreciated.
Tilly and Kate are sisters. They have lived very traumatic and tumultuous lives. However they have not taken this as a hardship they cannot overcome. Rather, it is something that they apply to help others. Kate is a psychologist whose whole practice is helping young people in need. She discovers a potential human trafficking ring that involves the people in power in her town. Tilly is a nurse who has helped one too many women after an attack. Together they work to solve this case.
As hard as the topic is. I love the way that this story handled it. Tilly and Kate are great examples of overcoming adversity. I love the bond they have as sisters and how they are willing to help others in need.
I think Tilly and Kate are greatly developed characters who I was rooting for. I definitely cannot wait to read more about the two of them as the series continues!

The Rom Com Movie Club
By: Bernadette Marie

I have been a fan of Bernadette Marie for a while now. So I was very excited to start another book by her. Once again, I was not disappointed. It is what I have come to know and love from her. A book with wonderful characters and fantastic plot line and me not wanting the story to end. I always feel like I am one of the characters in the story when I read her stories.
I absolutely loved this story. Lisa, Mindy, Ruby and Tina are the types of friends I have wanted for myself but have never found. They are the friends that get together once a month to celebrate friendship and watch a romantic comedy. Their night is full of traditions – starting with wearing a baggy college sweatshirt and pretending it is the sleepovers they loved as teenagers. The biggest tradition of all is the searching for the happily ever after through film.
This time however, things begin to go a little sideways and their friendships are tested. Lisa has not exactly believed in happy endings, but she loves the idea of them. Tina is getting married and stressed out beyond belief. She is venting to Lisa about how she is sharing her future in-laws house and how that house is growing by one more. Her fiancee’s brother is moving home. Lisa asked to see a picture of Ryan and sparks instantly flew.
When they met the chemistry was unimaginable. However, it also tested the waters of the girls’ friendship. The last think Lisa wants to do is ruin Tina’s wedding, but should she have to walk away from her happily ever after? Or will Tina come around and see how much happiness and love Ryan and Lisa have for one another.
I definitely love this story and the characters. I cannot recommend this story enough to those that love a good comfort of a story about friendship and love.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a parent of young adults, I am not usually a fan of the young adult troupe. But I took a chance on WE Blend and I am so glad I did! What a well written, passionate, sweet story!

Young adults may claim to know it all but they really are just trying out what they do know and discovering what they don’t. The two main characters, Wil and El learn that money is the root of many problems, whether you have it or you don’t.

This story has all the feels. It made me laugh, cry and even sigh. The situations these characters find themselves in, especially the ones they create, are realistic and believable. Many times, I found myself saying “that’d be my luck!”

This story was easy to read with the plot clearly laid out, what wasn’t clear was how these two were going to get their HEA! I enjoyed reading book 1 and am looking forward to the next story in this series.

After being fired from his previous journalism job, Bob is looking for a new job. Thankfully he has a few months before rent is due so he frequents the local coffee shop hoping to find gossip to write about.

Seems his luck is turning when an older man approaches him asking him to find out who has taken his missing gnome. He agrees to help. Unfortunately, he soon learns that Misty Haven, the town he has just moved to, is not all that it seems.

I just want to say that I loved the paranormal aspect of this. I love when towns have their own secrets.

Bob is also a witty character. The fact he wrote about BigFoot made me laugh too.

This is short. I wish it was longer but I am excited for the next novel.

I loved reading this book. There was so much chemistry between Devlin and Evelyn. They were coworkers who actually worked very close and shared clients. They were a team. They gave eachother a hard time…it was like a game to both of them until Evelyn and her boyfriend broke up.
Devlin saw this as his chance to finally
go after what he wants. He’s in the process of taking over the company when their boss finally retires until the boss finds out just how close Devlin and Evelyn have gotten.
There was a moment when I was like what???? Never saw that coming. I thought this book was beautifully written, loved the characters, great read from beginning to end.

This author has hooked me and intrigued me with every single book that they have created and brought to life! This book certainly intrigued me and kept me interested all the way through! Great read!

I loved the concept behind what Quinnlan had to do. A second chance to live. but 3 days to find someone you want to share life with. Definitely not the funnest task as there is a lot on the line, and even more if you do not succeed at the task at hand. Garret had his own task to do, and the two had a chance encounter, and as I strongly believe in my own life, it was fate. Garret was a great match I felt, when he learned what Quinnlan was tasked with, he didn’t cower in fear. The chemistry with them was undeniable for sure. I enjoyed the suspense, intrigue, romantic moments, and the other facts that surrounded the plot, as the story went deeper than you would think at first glance! Amazing writing and book! Truly loved it!

This author never disappoints me. I always devour anything that they write and create. This book certainly captivated me entirely! Loved it from start to finish! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

The book was woven together perfectly. I find there is a thin line behind love and revenge. When is enough, well enough? The book was a quick read for me, but I was deeply intrigued and immersed as I read. The anticipation to the ending was strong, with the two characters. I must say I was knocked out of my seat when the ending occurred. Did not see it coming. I enjoyed the writing and the descriptive use by this author, great read, that is quick to read, and where the author really gets the nail in with the hammer!

I have loved this author for all they create from a book I have read by them last year. Ever since I was hooked. This book hooked me just as much! The book had creativity, and screamed that wow factor!

The book was amazing as it was mysterious. I loved the feel I got as I read, you knew something was well not known at first glance with the ranch, but you didn’t have the clues just yet to decipher what it could be! I enjoyed Emma’s as a character as well! She was quite relatable. Sometimes what we think we want vs what people think we should want,….is not the case sometimes we value something no one, not even ourselves have thought of! I was very intrigued, and I wanted to learn the mystery, the author certainly kept me in suspense. When things came together I was more intrigued than ever! The author is amazing at capturing the reader as well as keeping you interested no matter what the story plot is. The book was a fantastic read. I do hope maybe for another installment down the line! Couldn’t get enough! Loved this book!

Amazing author that amazes my mind once again! I completely fell in love with this book and the writing. Defiantly a must read in my books! And most certainly a high recommendation from myself to you!
