This book kept me on my toes the entire time. It was exhilarating, to say the least. Castor and Mia are an amazing couple and this being the first book I have read of the series it took me a second to catch on and actually be pulled in because it isn’t the typical book that I would read. It was amazing though, the action, the details of the characters and you could visualize it as well. Curve balls kept being given as well. You’d think the book was going to level out about 50% of the way through then nope something edging happens. Mia is a human, Castor isn’t but what they become is something that I feel you only get once in a lifetime. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Sadie and Charlie had what they thought was a chance meeting at the local bookstore. Sadie is a bookworm that loves the local bookstore and its eccentric owner. Charlie is new to the bookstore and is only there to buy his grandmother a particular book. They bump into each other while picking out their books and again at the register. Charlie decides to buy Sadie’s book for her but somehow after the owner wraps and bags both books they get switched. Sadie decides to try and find Charlie after reading the book that was supposed to go to his grandmother. They meet again on the sidewalk as she is walking to possibly try and find him. They learn they live in the same apartment building and that he works at the coffee shop she frequents. Is this all kismet or is there possibly more to it than they see?
This is the first book that I have read from the author and I wasn’t disappointed. This is also the seventh book in the Bellevue Bullies series. I do recommend you reading the first 6 books before this one also. The author had me on the edge of my sit from the very first page of the book to the very last sentence in the last page. I was not able to put the book down until I finished it in one sitting. The plot and characters are beautifully written. I will be the reading the rest of the books In the series soon. I also look forward to reading more of the authors books in the future

Have you ever read a book and wished you could smack some sense into the characters? That’s how I feel about this one! I’ve been anxiously awaiting this story about Krystina and Loukas as they’ve been mentioned many times in the first two books of this series. There is so much chemistry between them but neither want to really acknowledge it to the other for fear of ruining their friendship. Loukas has grown up next to Krystina and they have been friends since birth. Their mothers were best friends before the unfortunate passing of Loukas’s mother.
All Krystina wants to do is travel and take pictures….and stay as far away from Loukas as possible. However, he’s going through a lot right now and really needs a friend. Krystina has always been that friend but she wants nothing more than that.
Nicholas, who is Krystina’s soon-to-be brother-in-law, arranges a trip to Greece for the siblings. It’s time for them to see if Panos will have anything to do with them. Hopefully he’ll come home to his beloved, Yiayia and all will be right with the world.
The dreaded lockdown of 2020 happens and Krystina and Loukas find themselves in the house with just Yiayia. The rest of the family was in Loukas’s house after finding out that Yiayia, Krystina, and Loukas have all tested positive for the virus. Krystina and Loukas see to Yiayia as her health starts declining rapidly, but are they starting to see each other in a different light too?
This book was the most emotional of this series by far!! I was frustrated with Krystina and Loukas and their teenage antics, and I was trying to get an understanding of decisions made by Panos. The mystery finally comes to an end but it was not one that expected at all.
I’m excited to read book 4 and learn more about what Theo has been up to. I’m sure it will be just as entertaining as the rest of the family!

I was super excited to read this next book which focuses on the story of Mia and Nicholas! I got to know Mia a little bit in the first book of this series so I was happy to see that she got her own story.
Mia has just landed her dream job at a luxury magazine. She loves doing photo layouts and travelling around to see the sites for her job. Her boss sure is one hottie though…but looks to be attached at the hip to someone else. Little does Mia know, Nicholas and his sister run the company together and often make public appearances side by side.
Nicholas is, let’s say, rough around the edges and makes it nearly impossible for Mia to work with him. She quits her job several times only to have Penelope, Nicholas’s sister, beg her to come back. They need her in order for this magazine to get the attention that it deserves.
This book further explores the mystery of Yiayia and Panos and is starting to really heat up. The fact that Nicholas is intrigued helps the family out in ways that they never dreamed could come about. We learn slightly more about Kallye and Max too!
I don’t know a lot about Greek culture but this book has had me intrigued. I do enjoy Greek food and I love that there are recipes scattered throughout. Reading this book, like the first one, I felt a part of the family. Let’s just say Nicholas better be glad Mia isn’t my sister in real life or we’d be having some words with each other!

Meraki: Doing something with soul, passion, creativity, and love.
Kallie is a pastry chef running a little café where she features some of her family favorite pastries. Coming from a Greek family, there is plenty to choose from! She’s had a very traumatic experience that has her guarding her heart. Her family is super supportive but they think that she works entirely too much.
Max has returned to his hometown and is settling in as the newest beat cop on the street. He and his partner, Leo, are called the café that Kallie owns to pick up a license plate for identification. Electrical currents immediately start flying between Kallie and Max but neither are up for anything relationship-wise. Max is still trying to recover from his former wife’s antics on their relationship.
This book is full of romance, mystery, recipes, and second chances. This is my first read by this author but she is now on my favorites list! I very much enjoyed these characters and well as the suspense surrounding Yiayia (LOVE this woman!) and Panos. I felt like I was part of the family as I was reading this story! I’m excited to learn more about other members of the family and how things progress with each of them!

Triad Resumption: Part Two (Grimm Wolves MC Book 6) By D.M. Earl 4 Stars
This book was intense. It picks up where a Tortured Man’s Soul finished and brings you on a whirlwind ride. I was constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Chains literally went through hell and back. My heart broke for him. He has evolved so much throughout this series. I was happy to see that he got his head out of his behind and realized what’s truly important in life. I enjoyed the introduction of new characters especially Tink and Shadow. I’m hoping to read more about them. I’d love to know more about Shadow’s story. This book was amazing but cannot be read as a stand-alone. You must read this series in order. Readers must be warned that there are lots of triggers and scenes of sexual violence.

Earl – Review by Anna Hirsch
‘Amber Waves of Grace’ is beautiful. A story of second chance love and redemption. Corrie is just trying to help her family with farm and trying to decide which man she is in love with: Aaron or Luke. We also see some holiday miracles. It is an inspirational story that gets you right in the feelers. I love how it is a Christian fiction book. It is clean romance. A very wholesome approach which is also very nice to read. It is a quick read for those weekends that are not booked up. The characters are well-developed. I love the plot. It is very smooth. A truly gifted story that makes you feel good.
This is the first book in this series and it start off very strong from the start i was hooked. Fitz is extremely likelabke and this book has so many twist and turns it gives your a shock. It does contain some graphic information such as BDSM and violence. Lots of intriguing to keep you guessing and reading through different pov made it a very interesting read.

Holly is just trying to find her spot to fit in in her new school. Of course, the popular kids turn out to be jerks. The cutest guy, Nathan, is gorgeous but acts llike an asshole to her. Unbeknownst to her, he is hiding a big secret that he doesn’t want anyone to know. This is a wonderful book. So many emotions were felt as I read this book. The story is so romantic. I found the characters well-written. Evan, Nathan and his parents felt like they were many of families I know that do have members with epilepsy. The students at the high school fit right in with the peer pressure and how the caste systems go. My favorite part was the ending. That was a surprise that as the momma of a kiddo with a disability, I love seeing. The whole plot was well-written and researched. My son has seizures and I found the information the author shared spot on. Hiding the secret was a topic to follow because that’s a young person’s past time for many, especially in this day of social media. This is one of my favorite author’s as she writes books that cover topics that make you think. This book is a great book that young people will like. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
Levi (The Brothers of Creekside Ranch Book 1) by Edith Mackenzie

Not too familiar with domestic chores & children, this task gives Bella a run for her money. Ex-Navy Seal, Levi, returns home to his family ranch to help his two brothers run the ranch & raise their sister. When Levi gets a call from a military buddy asking to house Bella and keep her safe until the trial, they use the nanny job as a cover. Undeniable attraction develops between Levi & Bella, as the everyone attempts to adjust to their new way of life. Levi struggles with his anger and PTSD, while Bella learns to stand up for herself. Can Levi and his family keep Bella safe and can Bella help Levi work through his demons from his previous life to build something special? Beautiful love story that leaves you rooting for the “happily ever after” ♥️
Phenomenally written, this was my first Edith MacKenzie book, but it will not be my last. Can’t wait to delve into the next two Brothers of Creekside Ranch Books! 5 stars for sure!

Blood & Vengence is the second book in The Casket Girls series. This installment finds Desiree and Theron hunting the rest of the vampires in New Orleans when she meets a vampire named Jaxon that wants to learn from Theron how to survive without killing. In the process, he falls for Desiree and must find a way to protect her from his past. At first, I was disappointed that this book would not follow Greer and Theron. Although I liked the other girls, I really wasn’t keen on reading about them as the main characters. However, I ended up really enjoying the sibling dynamic between Theron and Desiree. I would have to see more Greer but hopefully, we will see more of her at a later date. This book is as well-written and adventurous as the first. I liked the addition of Jaxon. I liked the dynamic between him and Desiree. This book made me feel all the emotions. I immensely enjoyed reading this book.

Brazeau – Review by La Toya Lewis
If you know me personally in any capacity you would automatically know my draw to this series! Being a nurse of over 10 years and someone with strong spirit/paranormal beliefs, this series feels like it was created for someone like me. That being said, I really enjoyed the continuation of Morgan’s story. The book reads quickly because at it’s core, I thought it was a lot of fun. There is a little bit of everything- enjoyable characters, wit and a unique yet strong, storyline. The way the book reads in my mind is almost like a tv sitcom that you have to watch “just one more episode”- the imagery is great. I look forward to reading more from this author and really encourage you to pick up this book! I know I keep referring to the series as a whole but I do recommend starting from book one- while the detail in the second book would likely keep you from feeling lost, you want the FULL experience!

5 Stars I’m Not Your Difference (Fitz Series Book 4) by Theresa Sederholt
I’m Not Your Difference is the fourth book in the Fitz Series and I absolutely loved reading it. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing along with amazing characters make for a amazing story. This is a story that is intended for 18 + mature readers due to some Violence and Sexual Content. I recommend reading the first three books if you haven’t already as they are just as good as this one us you get back story and learn about the characters. I loved this book and had moments of heartbreak and I was a bit emotional at times. This is a wonderfully written story that is packed with m action, suspense , suspense and a serial killer. I loved that its written in more than one POV. This is a story about Andy and Stephen.. Andy is heart broken over Stephen leaving because he couldn’t handle Stella and her being deaf. Andy figures out a way to deal with all the things and then Stephen realizes he made a mistake. He’s determined to get Abdy and his family back. In the midst of everything going on there’s a serial killer preying on gay men. No worries Fitz is on the case and he’s not going to let them out of his sights. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This book is attention grabbing, hard to put down and thought provoking all while still being a great fiction that is enjoyable to read!

I was satisfied with how the book played out and look forward to reading more from the author and the series!

I have been a big fan of this author and just had to read One in A Billion. She definitely did not disappoint with this 5 star read. The book had a great plot and such loveable characters.
Victoria aka Tori is on a timeline. She’s looking for her career in journalism to take off by her 30th birthday or she’s going to quit. She’s hoping to get an interview with Seth Pierce. Unfortunately, he’s a VERY private person and turns down anyone looking for an interview so she decided to just show up to his office one day. Candy, the receptionist thought Victoria was there for an interview for a job and of course that was a way to get her foot in the door so she said that she was indeed the person with the appointment. While Victoria was talking to Seth, the real Kim Brown showed up for her interview. Seth was still thinking Tori would be great for him in more ways then one so he searched all over for her at all the temp agencies he could think of but there was no Tori Verity. Once Seth found out who she was, he showed up at her job unannounced as she did to him. He ended up offering her a job working for him but, in a different role. Everyone who has seen or heard anything about Seth Pierce knows he’s dating Pip. It just so happens they are each others plus one and everyone just assumes they are a couple but they are not. They are just best friends willing to do just about anything for eachother which you will learn when you read the book. This book was so hard to put down and I can’t wait for the next installment.

Nathan is popular, but not because he’s overly friendly. Holly is the new girl and wants to fit in. Nathan and his buddies are mean to Holly and those who become her ‘misfit’ friends. That changes when Holly witnesses an event that Nathan never wanted anyone outside of his immediate family to see. In his 17-year-old mind, his secret is so terrible that he is willing to do anything to keep it his secret, even fake a relationship with Holly.
Nathan’s plan fails when he falls in love with Holly. In true teenage form, he thinks lying is better than telling the truth.
The characters were well-developed. You could relate to their feelings and how they changed throughout the story. There seemed to be quite a bit of repetition at times that took my attention from the plot.
Overall, it was a great story about the power of honesty, friendship, and love.
This book is amazing! You end up with 3 romance stories in one bookstore! Each one is a particular story you get hooked up on with more as each romance comes in. Leona is the owner and she always helps where she can for love. I love each couple and their personalities!

This is the second book of the series and the author has successfully bridged the gap between two very different worlds. The characters, those breathing and those who have stopped, are well developed and relatable in some way. As the book delved further into the intertwined worlds and glimpses of the past and present, I wanted to be there to witness the events myself. I look forward to future books by the author.

This story has a sad start, a sad under-lying reason for Levi and Bella to meet. While the reason is sad the rest of the story line and characters are sweet, fun and oh so cute. I really liked how these two characters needed each other and then that need turned into something else altogether. And in such a short amount of time.
This trio of brothers and their sister will make for some very fun stories. Doesn’t everyone love a cowboy? A family man? Levi is just what we need. He’s rough and tough and needs the kindness that Bella brings to the table. She also brings the love that only a female can give, both to Levi and his siblings.
This author’s way with words keeps you engrossed in the story. Even with the sweet story there is a touch of danger since the Russian Mafia is involved. Thankfully Levi is ex-Navy Seal so he should be able to save the girl and the day!!
Hopefully the rest of the family finds their happily ever afters sooner rather than later!!

Levi is a retired Navy SEAL. He’s back to living on a ranch with his triplet brothers after their dad and step-mom were killed. The triplets have a ranch and a little sister to take care of now. Levi’s connections bring the perfect nanny to help care for their younger sister. Bella, the nanny, is a witness-in-hiding until she can bring down her mafia ex-boyfriend. The siblings and Bella learn to get along and get used to life together on the ranch. When disaster strikes they have to band together for everyone’s sake. “Levi” would be a perfect Hallmark movie. It was a wholesome story with likeable characters that was an easy read.

This is the second book in the series and it is just as good as the first. I thought it was so easy to sink back into this world, this era and this book is just as vivid and imaginative as the first. I thought the story was well developed. It felt like it was clearly thought through and detailed and had everything needed to draw you, as the reader, in. I really enjoyed the characters. They fit the story so well and they all have their parts to play. They are interesting to read about and I really connected with them. This is a great story and one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Brazeau – Review by Kerry Baker
It is always a bonus when you get to read more from one of your favorite authors. I really could not put this book down. I spent my holiday enjoying not only the sun but also reading and getting lost in the world created.
The characters are complex and really draw the reader into the world created. I really could relate to the one of the lead characters and how she felt starting in a new school after a move. I also liked how the relationship between the lead characters evolves after what was a very shaky start. The author does a wonderful job of building the story and characters. Will definitely be reading more from this author.
Truth or Kill: The Twisted Legends Collection by A.C. Kramer
Truth or Kill is a standalone novel but is the second book of the Twisted Legends Collection. Truth or Kill is based on the tale of Kill Switch, a videogame that self-destructs upon completion, making it unknown if it existed or not. In Truth or Kill, Sydney Evans is invited along with her rich classmate for a company retreat, or so she thought. Follow Sydney on her journey through a real-life Kill Switch game, from darkness to light and everything in between. Truth or Kill is full of relatable characters. The reader can feel their pain, confusion, anger, and many other emotions. Between a family betrayed by those they trusted and Sydney and her own feelings of betrayal, the emotions envisioned are raw and real. I did not want to put the book down. Full of twists and turns, Truth or Kill kept me guessing. If you are looking for a book full of mystery, darkness, and love, look no further. Truth or Kill is the book to read.

Kramer – Reviewed by Breanne Christian
This is a book for the romantic at heart for sure. Sometimes it seems as though each pair of characters should have their own book rather than all being done in one book. That would give more time to develop the stories a bit more but instead they are like snapshots of people’s lives as they find the right book and start a new chapter in their lives.
Leona, our bookstore connoisseur, has a knack for finding everyone just the right book and giving a little extra push to find their happily ever after even if they were not necessarily looking. When Sadie comes in looking for the perfect Christmas romance, Leona points her in the right direction where she then bumps into Charlie. After both have found their books they pay and leave only to discover later that Leona switched their bags. Now the hunt is on to find each other and return the books to their rightful owners. However, things do not always go to plan, can Sadie have a Christmas romance all her own with Charlie?
Then there is Fiona who comes to town and runs across Leona. Leona discovers Fiona’s ex Price is also in town and though things didn’t work in the past it is clear there is still something there. Will sparks fly as Fiona and Price meet again with differing happenstance? Or is the past too much to move past?
Leona who has an easy time pointing others in the right direction and with just enough meddling helps them find their happily ever afters just cannot seem to find her own Mr. Right. Add to that problems with the bookstore and it all seems to be too much. Enter Jon, a local handyman available to help put the bookstore back to rights again. They both feel the attraction but Leona is certainly conflicted as Jon comes with two little tagalongs. Is Leona ready to not only manage the bookstore but a romance and a family at the same time?
This is definitely a cutesy romance novel that is simply an enjoyable read. I would have liked this to be a series so we could take a deeper dive into the characters and their lives instead of being little snippets of time. Overall I enjoyed this book and it would make a great beach read for anyone looking for a chance to escape and read about happily ever afters.

Not my kind of book but I’ll still give it 3 stars because it’s NOT terrible. Quick and fast read for me. Has great potential and there’s a book out there for everyone. So still give it a shot and don’t judge the book based from my words. Could use more details regarding the story or even the characters. Reading about corries dad, makes me extremely sad though. Being injured after a accident and not being to do what he used too? It’s not fair and breaks my heart. But In no way am I bashing the author or even this book…but definitely different than what I’m used to reading. Im not a religious person so this is first book I’ve read that, that’s got that in it. Im not sure if the author has other books but I’ll still read them if so 🙂
The Happily Ever After Bookstore by Bernadette Marie . This is a fun little romance. Leona owns The Happily Ever After Bookstore and her goal is to match people with books and people! She has enjoyed matchmaking people by swapping their books when they check out and the directing them to meet each other to get their correct books. Charlie and Sadie even end up getting married after her set up. Now she is working on Fiona and Price who are married but about to split up. She is trying to reignite their love story. Leona has always been in love with her bookstore so she hasn’t really worried about her own love life until the shop is in need of repairs. When Jon shows up to work on the shop Leona is interested but Jon comes with baggage. His children and Leona isn’t sure about that. Also Jon has been hurt pretty bad in the past. Will he be able to trust again. This is such a fun little book where three different stories are interspersed and make for a great read!

Truth be told – I liked this more than was expected. Serendipity? Fate? Worlds coming together at the least expected time? Love? Books? Yep, this story has it all. Ellen and Charlie – a love story told over and over, ending up in a book. Sadie and Young Charlie – it was kismet when they met in the bookstore. With a little help from Leona, they fall for each other hard and fast. Then came Fiona… divorcee, author, cynic. Finding Price after so many years apart. And Leona? Bookstore owner. Fixing the pipes in her building, she meets Jon – who brings with him a secret. Yes, this story is full of happily ever afters. A sweet story to read on a nice summer day or at the beach.
