This is the first book I have read from Nicole Kelleher and I really enjoyed it. Wild Lavender is the first book in this series. I was hooked from the first chapter. I loved Anna’s character and how strong she was. Lord Roger reminded me of my ex so he was easy to hate haha. Larkin was easy to love too. I was cheering for them the whole time. I am absolutely ready to start book two!

Such an amazing story! A period piece with some mythical runes to add in something magical. A love story with so many obstacles and so much working against them. Read this book if you like enticing characters, emotional plot twists, and love that just cannot be denied.

Kelleher – Review by Kayla Octaviano
This is not my first book by this author but this is among my favorites. I enjoy her attention to details that make her stories realistic and hard to put down. This book is no different. A well written story about Jessica and the Con. When the Con turns up missing and then found in a coma. What happens next you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world. They add so much to the story which makes it easy to read. They are strong, supportive characters that keep the story engaging to the end. I enjoyed watching their chemistry and growth throughout. A fast paced, entertaining story that is hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this story.

I was so excited to see Seeli Kay is back with another wonderful book Saint Con. Her work always packs a punch and I love her work, so I grabbed it and jumped right in. This engaging story flowed seamlessly making it so easy to get lost in and become so engrossed in the journey that you lose all sense of time. The feelings Seelie’s writing evokes are strong and complexities keeps you on your toes and you are not sure what to expect next. Saint Con is a quick, easy and nicely paced read and is full of danger and action, strong emotions, drama, thrills, tension, pain, suspense, hope, want, need and fear and lots, lots more. I love reading Seelie’s tales as she transports you to another place with her narrative and cleverly pulls all the threads of the plot together to make on explosive experience for the reader. The characters are relatable and just brilliant making it hard to not become invested in them. They are strong and out to right wrongs and the injustices of the world. Jessica thought she had finally found the one, but it seems fate has other plans. Or does it? Pulling up her big girl panties she takes it upon herself to find the truth even if it kills her. Can she find out what is going on before it is too late? I won’t share too much as you have to experience it by yourself. This might be my favourite book yet, and I know I’ve said that before, but Seelie keeps on raising the bar. This is a fantastic book and as always, I look forward to more from Seelie.

After a night of sizzling romance, Jess begins to thaw, and in the days that follow, she is so charmed by Con that she allows herself to start falling in love. Unfortunately, on their first real date, Con fails to appear. Jess doesn’t know if she’s been ghosted or if Con was unavoidably detained, but she leaves their meeting spot devastated. Until she discovers that Con is missing. Really missing. The police won’t help because he’s not a vulnerable adult nor is there proof that he has been harmed. So, it falls to Jess and her friends to find him. After surmounting numerous obstacles, Con is finally found, gravely injured and in a coma.

Winter Austin did it again with another amazing, suspenseful romance book! I love reading The McIntire County Series, it grabs your attention and keeps you guessing throughout the book as to whether the missing girls will be found, whether is Xavier a killer, and who is taking the girls. Will Jolie be able to clear Xavier, or will she find out the man she is falling for is the murderer? I love that all of the characters that we have met in the other books in the series continue to make appearances in this series and that we get to continue to watch them grow in their families. I love that we not only get to see inside the mind of another retired marine but also the workings of a small-town police force and how they all work together to keep their county safe.
This story is all about Jolie, the sister of Ian, one of our bad guys from Book #2, who is now performing her deputy duties as well as learning how to step up to do some investigative work as well. We also get to know more about the mysterious Xavier and why he has been laying low, keeping his business all to himself, until he’s thrown into the spotlight when he’s suspected of killing the missing girl’s father. Xavier blacked out, and doesn’t remember anything, but will he be able to work through whatever is ailing him to help clear himself of this guilty sentence, or did he commit the crime? I am so excited to start reading Book #4 and see who our next main characters will be so that we will get a deeper understanding of their lives and tackle another mystery. @Brandy Rymer 10/2023

This is my first time picking up a book by author Nicole E. Kelleher. although period pieces aren’t my usual favorite story topic, I had to give this one a try 🤣the cover and synopsis drew me in. I found myself really intrigued by the storytelling and the details used to create this tantalizing world. This was a fast paced read for me, finishing it in what felt like a snap of a finger. This book has everything you’d expect in a period piece but way more. Like this book is so good it really has me rethinking if I dislike this topic or not. 🥰 I will definitely be going to go read the other two books in this series Heart & Hand, which includes the Queen’s Dance and The Naked Moon. I Can’t wait to sit down and read them.also i really like Anna she’s a strong heroine

The Man In Black By: L. R. Liverpool Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
Admittedly at first I was intimidated by the sheer size of this book, that all changed once I started to read The Man In Black. The visuals were stunning and the emotions were beyond gripping! I absolutely loved how she split the book into three segments. It helped with the overall length and flow of the story! It really helps you grasp the changes and struggles Fenimore James or should I say Simon Shaw goes through! The tone was also wonderful, it goes beyond being transported back to the old west. I truly felt like I was sitting around a campfire listening to him tell me his life story, both the ups and the downs. Almost like listening to stories from your grandparents! It was absolutely mesmerizing! I could picture every scene, every outfit, as if I was in the saloon! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books by Ms. Liverpool! I highly recommend giving this book a try!

A psychological thriller full of suspense, some really dark moments and so much more. A bit out of my comfort zone but really liked the book. The author did a great job of world and character building, and overall a fantastic book that kept my interest. Keeping a secret from a loved one can make them feel shame, guilt and so much more. The way the characters react and process the situation shows how well the author connected to the story.
Love is like business. This is the first book I have read by the talented Angela Lam and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect. That said it somehow was the perfect book for this Friday the thirteenth. Told from the dual perspectives of Tang and Dee we are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions, revelations, and mysteries in this quick read. Tang is a writer, and real estate agent when not writing. Fourteen months earlier she was in San Franscisco for a writers’ conference when everything changed. Her original concept was denied time and time again but a chance encounter at a local restaurant changed everything. Dee a sales rep for a start-up tech company in New York is in San Franscico on business and visiting her twin brother Chris when she meets Tang. Making a comment about being the luckiest to Tang changed both of their lives. That simple moment gave Tang a new concept for her book and the next morning she lands a literary agent. Dee is full of secrets and lies. Starting with a slip of the memory by her brother on her name and a knee jerk answer about losing her son in childbirth there was no end to the lies Dee spun for herself with Tang. Everything was going too well but something was off, one intrusive thought to check Dee’s purse reveals her real name and begins the web of lies being untangled. Tang thought she had it all, the perfect girlfriend, Layla, but a chance encounter and a dark desire she couldn’t deny led to a journey of realization she never could have predicted. Whose car went off Hangman’s Bluff? How could everything start with something as simple as a name? While the world the story is based on is reality the characters are relatable in every sense, even to the extreme in some cases to people in the world. Sometimes the world seems to give you everything, giving you chances to be honest and open, but what happens when you don’t take those moments? What happens when you continue to build on the shaky supports of lie upon lie? I didn’t know what to expect with this book, it seemed interesting and under two hundred pages was a quick suspense for a spooky day. The thoughts I was left with had me ready to go in search of my next Angela Lam book as soon as possible.
The author hooks you into the story within the first couple of pages. I definitely love how the author uses the previous books in the series in regards to the characters and how they developed from their story into this one. I would recommend reading the series in order as they were written to get a better feel for what’s going on. There is a lot going on and I like how I got to know the sheriff and Liza, and to see how they both grew character wise in the story.

I absolutely loved the innocent and quite naive young man, Fenimore James from the get go. He’s lived his young life in one place in the comfort of his parent’s home yet he wants more. He wants the life described in books or the papers. He’s dreamed of leaving his home, living life in the road, embarking on one journey after another, meeting new people yet feels something is holding him back. His name. At his core he feels his name is not a true fit and does not represent who he really is.
This incredible story finds Fen bravely choosing to leave home, Along the way he joins in with a group or gang of folks and changing his name. As most often do, he finds himself questioning his decision of leaving his hometown and every decision made since he left.
When he finds members of his gang being murdered he finds himself perplexed. Then dealing with his internal personal feelings about someone close he struggles.
Mystery, struggle, murder, romance and life’s many perplexities makes this complex story a winner in my eyes. I cannot wait to see what else the author had in store in the future.

I love how the author incorporates information from the previous books. It all seems to flow very well and the story is very well thought out. The main character’s growth, especially Jolie’s, is very noticeable. The characters are very relatable. Once I started this book, it was very difficult to put down. There is a lot going on at the same time, not just focusing on the crime at hand. The story does flow seamlessly and is very easy to follow.

What an interesting story. I have to admit, I was surprised by the twists in this one. While I wasn’t sure exactly how it was going to end I was all in. The story follows Tang, and Dee. And the story that unfolds around them. I recommend this story if you like a good suspense book.

Hannah Patel’s brother passed away about a year ago and since then she has been a shell of herself. She has been receiving notes from a man stalking her and as time went on, the notes were getting more threatening. At first, Hannah wasn’t going to do anything about it until someone else saw one of the notes and gave her Detective Doyle Murphys information.
A case gone wrong put Doyle on a sabbatical, which gave him plenty of time to look into Hannah’s troubles while protecting her full time. Hannah did not want to worry her family so they decided to pose as a couple. This made her stalker very angry and started to retaliate with more than just words. No one was safe anymore, especially Hannah.
Doyle will stop at nothing to protect Hannah, especially as he gets to know the stubborn, beautiful, confident woman. Being together everyday is making the duo start to have feelings for each other. As much as Doyle does not want this case to get personal it’s getting harder and harder everyday.
Maybe they can have a future together, if Hannah survives this.
This book was very intense. The stalker escalated quite quickly making the book hard to put down. I found it thrilling trying to figure out who the stalker is. The man did a really good job hiding anything incriminating. The ending will surprise you, it sure surprised me. The author did a really good job keeping me on the hook. Hannah and Doyle were very similar yet very different which made them perfect for each other. I was rooting for their love to blossom.
This book can be read as a stand-alone even though it is #4 in a series.

An adorable holiday romance based around Christmas. The author writes the story that easily paints the words into a movie in your mind. Following Holly as she collected the Cheer to power the North Pole was delightful. She was easy to connect with and care about. The other main character Ash was also easy to connect with. Reading the romance between the two main characters made for a sweet holiday romance. A great weekend read!
Once again Winter Austin delivers a fantastic suspenseful novel from McIntire County. I have to say that each one of this series is better than the next. I am truly loving these characters and this county. As always, Winter Austin combines wonderful complex characters with a thrilling plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. Jolie is a fantastic character, she is new deputy who seems to be facing the most curious case she has ever seen. Xavier is a man who definitely has seen more than his fair share of difficulties. And it seems that those difficulties are definitely not ending. In this book, Winter Austin continues to tackle the subject of veterans who come home with more than they bargained for. I completely feel that she is doing an amazing job at crafting these stories. I am truly loving these and each one is giving me more and more reasons why Winter Austin is becoming one of my favorite authors!

The Philly Heat Series is definitely one of my current favorites. With each new book I am greeted by fantastic characters who are going to be featured in an absolutely irresistible plot. In this book we get an absolutely fantastic romance that is coupled with an fantastic thrilling suspense. Hannah and Doyle are very well written characters who have an amazing amount of depth. Each of them are beautifully damaged in a way that makes them even more endearing. Their story kept me reading well into the night because I could not convince myself to put this book down. I definitely recommend picking this book up because it does not disappoint!

Chasing Cheer by Heather Schneider is such a fun Christmas story. This is book 1 of the Emerald Hollow series. We follow Holly Claus as she comes to Emerald Hollow to figure out why it has such an abundance of cheer. In the process, she meets Ash Hayes who is trying to build up his tourism business. These two are so sweet together and it is obvious they have a spark from their first meeting. It is clear these two are made for each other but there are obstacles. I really enjoyed this story. It has such a Hallmark movie feel, that has you ready for Christmas movies, crackling fires, and hot chocolate. I loved the whole new spin on the North Pole and Santa Claus. The world-building took me by surprise. I expected the same ole same. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read book 2.

Another fantastic read from this author – I absolutely adored this book. from start to finish I was completely captivated by the story and everything that was going on. The authors writing is mesmerising to read at times, full of detail and vivid descriptions of what is happening, I LOVE historical romance but they are usually set in London so I love that I’m reading about a different setting for these books and I love s good enemies to lovers romance so this book ticked everything for me!
The characters Isabel and Henrique were so wonderful to read about they had so much passion and chemistry between them. I loved reading their story. Another huge point for this book is the dual POV which meant we really got to see and understand both of the characters but for me in particular Henrique.
I am really looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future and 100% recommend this book and series!

I am never disappointed when I read a story of this author. This story was very compelling. Jacob has been made a guardian of Vanessa. All he wants is to marry her off, that is until he spends time with her. She is everything that he does not want yet he can’t fight his feelings. This story is full of deception and secrets. There is even a ghost. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
Historical romance reads are y absolutely favourite – I love getting transported back to a time where the pace of life was so different to today. I’ve read a few books by this author now and I just adore her attention to detail – I can absolutely imagine everything that is happening in the story from the characters clothing to the scenery around them.
In this story Vanessa returns home to find family she is not expecting. Her Guardian, Jacob, is definitely not impressed with having to look after Vanessa and desperately tries to marry her off and I knew as I was reading this that this is certainly not what Jacob really wanted! I thought that they actually made a really nice couple and I was rooting for them the whole way through. This story was really good, it had everything I love form a historical romance with a few added ghostly extras!
I am really looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.
Another lovely read from this author. I really enjoy reading her books they are so easy to read and just an absolute pleasure. I love the covers for these books as well, they really suit the series well.
I really liked Alice and James – they both seemed like such genuine, likeable people. I’ve got to admit from the moment they entered into this fake relationship I just knew there was going to more to it – they were just so perfect for each other. I love the small town that these stories are set in although some of the residents can be a little overbearing at times!
This was another great read and one that I would highly recommend. They can be read as standalones however I would recommend that they are read in order.

Different, but in a good way. A suspenseful thriller, No Amends leaves you guessing. Everything is not what it seems. Even though this is a short story it packs a punch with an unpredictable story line filled with deadly secrets, mystery, intrigue and dramatic plot twists. The writing draws you in, has great pacing and is well executed. Looking forward to the next book from this author. Recommend.

Cruel Truths was a quick and thoroughly enjoyable enemies-to-lovers office romance!
I was completely hooked from the opening pages of this book. Lindy has a dream to become a fashion designer, and she has worked hard to make that dream come true. Now, it seems she might actually have a chance to get her foot in the door of the fashion company she wants to be a part of. The only thing standing in her way is Cade Kingsley, her new boss. After their first meeting, it’s apparent their working relationship is full of fireworks and not in a good way! She refers to him as Mr. A (if you catch my drift). And, Cade really lives up to that name. Things become complicated when she gets another job duty, “fake girlfriend.” These two soon discover that sparks fly in another way outside of the office, and I loved watching every minute of them falling for one another.
Lindy captured my attention from the very beginning. Her personality jumps right off the pages of the book and brings her to life, and believe me, she has a bigger-than-life personality. She is one of the strongest female characters I have come across in a while. Her childhood was much different than Cade’s, and I loved the way that she reminded Cade that not everyone was as privileged as he was. She was loyal and loved her family, and Cade was able to use that to get Lindy to bend to his will. Lindy was also not afraid to be brutally honest with him. Beneath that strong exterior, she was also vulnerable and not really trusting of men. So, when she allowed the walls to fall from around her heart, it was a beautiful thing to see.
Cade captured my attention as well and not in a good way…at first. I, like Lindy, found him cold and an A. At the same time, I was also intrigued about the mystery of who he REALLY was. Sometimes, I felt like he took advantage of Lindy’s love of her family and used it to benefit him. But, he did say he always got what he wanted, and he wanted her. As time went on, his vulnerabilities also were exposed. Despite his controlling nature, I got to see the sweet side of him in the way he showed his affection and love for Lindy.
I am a huge fan of enemies-to-lovers romances, and the push and pull between Lindy and Cade is why I always keep coming back for more. In the beginning, it was hard to tell if these two even liked each other. I enjoyed the way they pushed each other’s buttons, and in the end, I loved the people they became. I have read some of T. Christensen’s other books but not in this series, and now, I can’t wait to go back and read the previous books in the series. Her sister, Tessa, and her complicated relationship with her husband really piqued my interest! If you love a complicated alpha male and a gutsy woman who pushes his buttons, then give Lindy and Cade a try. I think you will come to love them just as much as I did.

Christensen – Review by Christie Mitchum
Laughter is the best medicine. I make sure to always deliver the fun and crazy while hiding my pain behind it. It’s who I am and what I do. I also work my butt off for the Grimm Wolves MC brothers, trying to prove myself as more than just a prospect. But even the toughest of the tough need to let loose every now and then. I know that more than anyone after the world of hurt I’ve experienced.
CELEE
A chance encounter in a chat room just may be the saving grace I’ve needed all along. My father’s enemies are closing in, and my time just might be running out. Thank God Dingo and his brothers will do anything to keep me safe–even if it means going up against the most vile of criminals around. But the more Dingo tries to protect me, the more I know he’s hurting too.
