My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Better and better
I just love Bunya Junction and the Curruthers family. The third book in the series is Scott’s book, Sindy’s twin brother and a doctor with a lot going on. He meets Franceen and sparks start to fly. This is another brilliant addition and I just love the Aussie flavour. There were laugh-out-loud moments, especially with the twin bond between Sindy and Scott. So happy to see there is a fourth book with Yolanda’s story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Story focuses on Scott the gorgeous Dr who’s story has been teasing us up till now and Franceen, the new Dr in town. Their attraction to each other is instant but given they work together and he is her boss, they fight it until it becomes way to hard to resist. With matters from the past coming back to stir things up their road to their HEA isn’t always smooth but it is 100% a road worth taking!!!
I just love Bunya Junction! This 3rd book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series focused more on the two main characters, as it should I know, then the town but you still get a feel for this wonderful little town and it’s gorgeous people. I just want to live there!!

This is such a sweet, hilarious romance. I really enjoyed this book because there are so many great elements to it. It’s lighthearted and sweet while also being hilarious. The characters are so likeable and this story pulled me right in from the very beginning. I laughed out loud so many times while I reading this. Lockwood and Rex are absolutely adorable together and Brix is so much fun! Rex and Lockwood face some pretty rough obstacles along the way but the ending was just perfect!

So Right (Love Grows Series Book 5) by Renee Regent – Review by Helani Kihe

So Right (Love Grows, Book 5)So Right by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

1st off I’d like to say I absolutely loved this book! I was hooked from the very 1st page. If I didn’t have kids and the need to sleep I would’ve NEVER put the book down.
I really enjoyed that it wasn’t one of those love at first sight stories. While I enjoy reading those as well. The fact that there was a little distaste between them made me want to keep going to see how that would be turned around.
I liked that even though this was book 5 in a series you could read it as a standalone. There was mention of characters from the previous stories but there wasn’t anything that made it seem like you had to read them before reading this one. However if you do read them out of order the author writes such amazing stories you’re gonna want to read them all anyway.
Also I don’t know if it was just my imagination getting caught up in the story or if the author intentionally wrote the story with accents but I swear I could hear the Greek accent in my head.

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How is it that Russ McCready can hear and converse with a voice in his head? How can Hope speak with him telepathically and see his every day life through his eyes? Hope is unsure why she has this connection with Russ, but feels that he is the one that will be able to save her. Russ is frustrated by the fact that Hope isn’t able to tell him much, but along the way they do begin to develope a friendship. When they finally figure out the reason their connection started he will do everything in his ppwer to help her. This whole series has been great. I don’t personally feel that the series needs to be read in order, but some of the characters do show up in the prior books so it would be a good idea. I have ways been fascinated by the paranormal, psychics and telepathy. The way this author tells her stories draws you in from the moment you read the first paragraph. Her story telling seems to flow seamlessly and the characters are all very likeable. As always I am glad I stepped outside of my usual genres and decided to read something by a then unknown author to me.

Road Rage (Outlaw Series Book 4) by Karina Kantas

4 out of 5 Stars

Gemma is battling the demons from her past as she tries to find a footing in her future. Her attraction to Shep, a street racer, puts her eerily close to a lifestyle from which she is trying to break free. As the new MC starts to feel like family to Gemma, she finds herself in difficult situations. Gemma finds a true support and partner in Doc. Doc is there through hellish episodes, cementing his place in Gemma’s life.

This book moves at lightning speed. It gets a little confusing at times when they don’t discuss the time jump but as the story moves along, you can figure out the timing. It is hard to believe Gemma makes it through so much in this book and, as her history is revealed, in life. Gemma is strength and resilience. Hopefully Doc is her HEA.

This book contains depictions of assault and rape. Do not read if you find yourself triggered by those topics.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So Right, was so right in so many ways! This author is starting to become a favorite of mine. Though I think I need to go back and reread all in this series as a refresher.
Petro & Amara, what is there to say?!? Amara wanted nothing to do with this fake fiancé assignment. Petro looked at it as a potential opportunity. Did everything work out for them?
These 2 characters are written with so much pain in their past, it makes one feel for them. Are they able to move past it, or does it hold them back?
Part of a series but very much a standalone novel in its own right. It’s a sweet romance! If that’s your thing? Take a chance, and as you read you will understand why.

Another captivating supernatural romance story in this fantastic series. This is the fourth book in the series, and I recommend that you read them in order. Trust me you won’t be disappointed.

I love that it is told in from several POV’s that give this story and characters so much more depth and insight. Emotions within the story makes your heart melt and fall in love with the characters.

A sweet romance set in the Australian outback. This is the third book in this small-town romance series. You can’t help but fall in love with the wonderful characters. It is an enjoyable read where there is heartbreak, loss, pain, but there is also laughter, fun and family.
Dr. Scott Carruthers is the third sibling in this series, and he gets his story told in this book. When a new obstetrician comes to town there is instant attraction but a real slow burn as they work through their own painful pasts.
I also love the connection of twins between Scott and his sister Sindy and laughed as the poor man had some of his sister’s experiences whist pregnant.

Terrifying Love: A Halloween Anthology

4 out of 5 stars

The new stories of the frightening ways love can manifest are interspersed with haunting love poems. Each tale takes you to the edge of your seat. Will strangers risk everything for each other? Does true love last through the centuries? Can beings see past their differences or long-held beliefs to find true love?

One of the stories that had me gripping my pillow was Reflections of the Past by Melody Calder. Mary’s story started with feeling out of place where she should have felt at home. The chances Mary took to find belonging led her to real love. When everything in Mary’s world is destroyed, she finds a way to get her revenge. Sins of the past haunt Lia in ways she doesn’t even know yet as Mary’s vengeance collides with Lia’s heart. With Lia’s understanding, Mary is finally able to find peace.

The other story that caused my pillow distress was Runes and Fangs by Victoria Larque. Kayla has every reason to hate after what she has gone through. Minette should feel the same way but doesn’t let her light fade because of the actions of others. When Kayla first meets Minette, Minette should cower but doesn’t. Minette finds it within herself to be strong. Kayla should despise Minette but can’t seem to feel anything other than protective. Together, they seem to be able to accomplish the impossible while finding love.

This book is an romance that will touch your heart. Touching on a sensitive topic or two, this author writes in a way that speaks to your both your emotions and your heart. The two main characters are both dealing with rough times in their pasts. The question is can they move past those to be together? Or can they work together to heal? It looks good for them but you must read to find out. This author is one of my favorites because her plots feel realistic. They are made from things that people have gone through which makes everything pretty relatable. I have never been to Australia but her descriptions in the book make you feel like you are in the story. She is a wonderful author and I look forward to reading more from her. I would definitely give it more than a 5 if I could. Highly recommend. You should read the whole Outback series.

This book is the debut novel of Sandra L Young. I loved the fact that it was a historical mystery. I felt like I was in the past with the characters. Her descriptive writing really painted a vivid picture in my mind. Who would have thought that an antique clothing store would produce a mystery? This story is not just a mystery, but also has romance, murder, and some drama to the mix and that is what made this story interesting. This is about Tess and Trey. They are working on the murder mystery together. Their relationship started to blossom in this mystery. I love watching the relationship grow. I highly recommend this story because you are going to want to see what Tess and Trey have found and where their relationship grows into.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Noah expected to inherit the family land when his father died. Until he discovered that in order to do that, he has to get married and stay married for a while. With very few available women, it proves to be a struggle. Mary’s father is tired of taking care of her and wants her married. She has the choice of a not so nice man from the past, or a marriage of convenience with Noah. She chose Noah. When the two first get together, they notice all the differences between them and their backgrounds. Mary is sweet and innocent, and wants nothing more than to secure herself a future better than her past. Noah is a man’s man. He is used to living alone and is surprised in many ways by his new wife.

This was such a wholesome story of self discovery and learning to let someone in. The interactions between Noah and Mary are so sweet. I loved getting to know them and seeing them grow and develop in the story. I am looking forward to reading more stories in this collection.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Divine Vintage is absolutely amazing. Much like Trey, I was a skeptic due to this being my first book that deals with spirits. After only a few paragraphs, I was a believer like Tess. I definitely put this one down as one of my favorite books of the year. The story of Trey is sweet and romantic. The story of Phoebe and Edward is tragic and romantic. Put these two together and it is simply mesmerizing. Well written, multi-layered characters and a well-formed plot make this book insanely difficult to put down. This story invokes so many emotions. I adored Tess and rooted for happiness and well-being all the way through. I kinda hated Brett and had a very visceral reaction to him. Nevertheless, there was no black and white here and it was easy to see the motivations of the characters and empathize with them, even if I didn’t agree. I can’t wait to recommend this book to everyone I know.

I was immediately drawn to this book by its cover! The black background mixed with hints of red and a beautiful geisha made me wonder what secrets hid behind this story. Set during a Revolution in Japan, the main character, Ono Aia has dreamed of becoming a geisha. However, her curves are unlike other geishas and she is ridiculed for her size. On a special night, Aia has the opportunity to be a geisha and meets a mysterious guardsmen named Nen. His dark eyes and large figure scare and intrigue Aia. Soon, he introduces her to a world she’s never experienced before. As Japan transforms its society, adding western influence, Aia questions her future. This was my first book by this author.

This is quick paced historical fiction. We are met with a group of geishas, and we focus mainly on Aia.

She is thrown into this despite still being in training due to one being unable to pull through. Then we are met with Nen.

While with Nen she learns there is more to this world than she can ever imagine. It was a fast romance and a wonderful build of fantasy.

Although historical fiction isn’t something I lean towards, this was a very beautifully written one and would love to see more from this author.

Ono Aia has always lusted for the life of a geisha even through all the hardships her sisters and her face everyday at the Okiya. It is all she knows in these uncertain times until chance brings her Nen, the deadly swordsman with obsidian eyes who seems entranced by her. She too feels a special connection with him and his larger than life size that overwhelms and excites her. With Nen, Aia learns of a mythical world and Japanese spirits that could threaten the balance of their very existence. Will man’s reality be lost? Or will the balance be maintained?
I have never read anything like it! I absolutely enjoyed every second! Bree M. Lewandowski created a beautifully vivid story with characters that are relatable yet otherworldly. I am a big fan of cultural mythologies and love to see them woven into a story so effortlessly and believably. This whimsical and unexpected tale will stay with you long after you finish the last page. I highly recommend this book!
