A romance story about one of Cupid’s helpers. Like her Cupid helper sisters, Faida has been given a new assignment to help to someone find love again. The thing is, Faida has been helping humans find love for centuries and like many of us, she gets thinking about the relationships that didn’t work out. Will this one work or is it going to be another bust? At one point the assignment has her wondering what she’s missed and how much more can she do? The story is fun, at some points it has trouble, but overall it’s a great one. I hope you love it as much as I did.

This is the frist book in the Gray Ghost series. Alex and Liv are married couple. This book is full of romance and suspene. Olivia is a very sweet and naivie character at times. I really enjoyed Olivia growth in this book. I really enjoyed the descriptivess of this book its extremely detailed. Amy excced my expections in this book. Wow that was an unexpected twist. A surprise whisk away and a conversation that wasn’t meant to be heard. I love Liam he’s so attentive. I found was the reader read really fast and I struggled to keep up with her at first. I would of like her to speak a little bit slower.

I give Finders Reapers: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 5) by Carrie Pulkinen, 5 stars.
This series is great. Each book reminds me how much I love this author and series. Finders Reapers is yet another win. We met these characters briefly in other books, but now it’s their turn to shine, and they do such a spectacular job. I instantly fell in love with Jasmine, she is quirky and fun with a good heart. Both of them are just misunderstood beings who long for another. The struggle with them is so interesting to watch as it progresses. Not to mention the problem going on within their beloved city. This book has all you would love in a fun package — supernatural beings, fun, action, and romance. I hope this series never ends.
If you are a fan of quirky supernatural romance, this book and series are for you. It can be read as a standalone, but the whole series is so fantastic, you should really read them all.

Carly Lawson loves working winters as a ski patrol and summers as a rafting guide. The work is hard, but satisfying, and the soaring beauty of the Big Sky Ski Resort in Montana helps her forget the terrible mistake she made ten years ago—a secret she’s vowed to carry alone. Each winter brings a new lover, and each spring the end of that relationship—and that’s the way she likes it. But the new guy on the slopes is different.
A crash he can’t forget…
Downhill ski racer Chris Markham almost had it all—until his race for a spot on the Olympic team ended in a spectacular crash and life as a paraplegic. He’s not about to let that end his dreams; two years later, he’s got his sights set on the Paralympics. He’s come to Montana to concentrate on training, not get involved with a woman. But Carly makes him feel things he hasn’t felt in a long time—things he wasn’t sure he could feel.
In it for the long run…
Chris is conquering the slopes, but do his heart and body still have what it takes to satisfy a woman like Carly? Carly’s falling for Chris, but if she finds the courage to share her secret with him, can he forgive her past even when she can’t forgive herself? Will their relationship end before they make it out of the starting gate, or will they commit to making the longest run of their lives—together?
Many experiences influence Tracey’s writing, and she has been known to undertake unusual endeavors (such as firefighter training and learning to fly a helicopter) just for the sake of the experience. Being an Army-trained combat medic and a “biker chick” for over 30 years has had significant influence in her books, but even “ordinary” events have struck a chord or inspired a character or plot idea.
In 2018 Tracey returned to school to recertify as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and currently works at various sporting and music events when she’s not processing orders for the family business (Leader Motorcycle) or working at a substance abuse counseling center.
Tracey lives in small-town Minnesota with her husband, two kids, and two cats. They are a true “soccer family” (she even worked as a referee for two years). She enjoys downhill skiing and spending time at the family lake place.
After her messy break-up, the last thing grad student Riley Evans expects is to meet someone new. Throw in a family history of bad relationships, the likelihood of the past repeating itself seems inevitable—especially after her ex turns stalker. She’s a magnet for disaster. But when a man walks into the Coffee Hut and asks her on a date, she isn’t prepared for the flare of desire. The pull of attraction is impossible to deny, and she gives love a second chance.
Navy SEAL Xander Hale lands in a Hawaii military hospital after a mission gone wrong. If that wasn’t bad enough, his girlfriend breaks up with him. Plagued by his current single status and suspicions over the mission’s bad intel, doubts fester about the direction of his life. Until he stops for coffee and encounters a barista that steals his breath and shifts his priorities from a presumed military career path to civilian.
When danger closes in after a suspicious home invasion, Xander whisks Riley to the safety of his family’s island. On secluded shores, he’s determined to keep her safe. But dark memories are triggered by her past and followed by a hidden threat that neither anticipated.

This story was very enjoyable, although too short. Fiona, Lach, and Conner are all strong characters who are different in many ways but each with their own strengths. I thought that the author did a great job of giving you just a taste of each characters background and then bringing it all together. This author doesn’t put in a bunch of extra fluff words which I really like. I thought that Fiona was a strong female character who knew what she wanted and made it happen. The romance was very sweet and I could see all the characters from this book being in a full length novel and driving it remarkably well.
This is my first audio by this author and narrator and I thought it was a great one. I loved the angels and humans mix of it and it was entertaining and it kept me interested because I havent read a story about guardians before. The two main characters were great MC’s. They had alot going on and ALOT of baggage but I love the enemies to lovers aspect and I couldn’t put this one down. I am looking forward to reading/listening to more by this author and the same for the narrator too! Happy Listening!

Finders Reapers is part of the New Orleans Nocturnes series. It can be read as a standalone. I loved the premise of this book! It turned out to be a great read. One of my favorite expressions from the books is Holy Phantom Farts…cracked me up! There is a wonderful witty feel to this story that balances out the more serious parts. The characters in this book are really well written. I felt sorry for Jasmine, leading the lonely life of a necromancer. And, Asher, wants to love, but initially doesn’t want to make the sacrifice to have it. Finders Reapers features ghosts, magic, drama, suspense, and of course, romance.

Ah, I am in love with this series. This is the second book in the series, and I would highly suggest reading the books in order to get introductions to the characters and background on what is going on. I loved Delilah and Malakhi’s story but, I think I found a new love in Sheridan and Millicent. I wasn’t sure where this story was going to go, and when it is Millicent that is in trouble, I enjoyed watching Sheridan realize her feelings for her, and they weren’t just that of a one time fling. Meeting Sheridan’s mom and dad and seeing how they played a role was exciting, her dad seems like a good solid man so far, willing to help is daughter and her new found love. Her mom on the other hand, not so much. The twist with Miliicent, I did not see coming and it will be exciting to see how that changes her in the future. After this book, I really can’t wait to read Teivel & Oren’s story!

This is the second book in the Heartstrings series and I enjoyed this just as much as the first. The characters are well written. I especially loved Alice Robert’s young daughter. For someone so young she has a really faisty and determined personality and is set on helping her dad find love.
This story follows another of cupids helpers called Faida. After a life time of helping people find love and having to deal with cheaters and liers she has become as cold as icy and doesn’t actually believe love exists. So when she is sent on her next assignment she is expecting more of the same lies and deceit.
What she doesn’t expect is Robert Peters. Robert has had a bad experience in the past with relationships. After being hurt and cheated on he has closed his heart off to everyone apart from his little girl.
With the help of Robert’s daughter can Faida help break through Robert’s cold heart and show him what’s right in front of him? Can she thaw her own heart in the process?

I adore how Brent and Rick interact with each other Brent. When Rick’s brother comes into the fold darma spills into his life with Brent. This is a well written book and I througly enjoyed it.

Faida by Brooke May is a fun and entertaining read through and through. This is the second book in the Heartstrings series, a series I recommend reading in order for your full enjoyment. This is a truly original series as it follows Cupids with their newest love assignments. I’ve never read anything like it!
I was able to read this story in one sitting as I found it to be a shorter read, however, I still enjoyed it. It’s a quick, witty, intriguing and easy to read story that follows Faida with her newest assignment. An assignment I was really intrigued by and didn’t want to end.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and would recommend this series to anyone looking for their next one of a kind read.

Moonlit Whisper by Amy McKinley is a novella in the Moonlit Destination Series. This book can be read as a standalone.
Fiona agrees to help the new transfer student from the football team. She definitely had no reason to believe it would be Connor. What were the chances? She thought she’d never see him again. Will they be able to rekindle the closeness they had or is there too much history?
I truly enjoyed reading this book even though it was on the shorter side. I wouldn’t complain about reading more of Fiona and Connor’s story! It was very well written you just get sucked in until the end!
This is the second book in the Heartstrings series. It can be read as a stand-alone though I do suggest that you read book one as well ( it was just as good as this one). The story is a sweet romance with a supernatural twist. The series is quite original in the fact that’s it’s about Cupid. Each cupid is assigned to bring love to a specific person. In this book, it’s Faida’s turn. Faida’s past targets have shown her betrayal and heartache which caused her to harden her heart. Her newest target Robert has a heart colder than hers. How can she convince Robert to take a chance on love again when she’s given up as well? Read to find out.

Hell Hath No Fury (Life Is Hell Book 2) by Naomi Valkyrie
5 Stars
As usual this author hits it out of the park once again. I love this continuing story and these characters. This one focuses on one of my favorites from the first book, Sheridan and then Millicent who is one of the deputies in Juniper Lake. Im so very thankful that these books are very clean and any type of sex is just implied. The reason I say this is I don’t normally read MM or FF books. I just can’t relate to them and those types of relationships. Nothing wrong with them, it’s just harder for me to feel those connections. This series though is so completely awesome in its storylines and the smooth reading, and I never seem to want them to end. I love when all of the characters are together and their interactions are so much fun. I actually feel like I transport into these books and feel like part of the story.
I was still left with a few questions I had from the first book. There’s a history between Malakhi and Teivel and it feels like something I really want to know more about. I’m praying the next book is about Teivel and a possible connection that was beginning to form in this one.
I don’t normally read any sort of fantasy or paranormal but I’m a forever fan of this author and will read anything she writes. The addition of some of the types of characters in this story was fun. I fell in love with Jasper, Sam, and Larkspur and really hope we get a lot more of them in the next part.
You really in my opinion need to read these in order. I imagine a person would be left with a lot of question marks if you start with this one. Read them both, they are amazing and a lot of fun!

Oh how I love this series!! I didn’t think anyone could top Aiko but Faida has come pretty close. This was such a sweet heart warming story, heart warming being the key words there. These books have such unique storylines, not often, if ever, have I read books where the main characters play roles in a romance quite like this.
I read this book in a little under an hour and hated for it to end. I don’t want to give away any of the storyline so will just mention that Alice was one of my favorite characters in this book, her connection to Faida was awesome and having Aiko show up here and there also made me smile. I love this author’s writing style and am already looking forward to book 3.
This can absolutely be read as a stand alone but the first book is just as awesome so would recommend reading them both.

IRRESISTIBLE CHRISTMAS – PETS TO THE RESCUE ANTHOLOGY
I have no idea what we as humans did to deserve the love we get from our pets but I’m so happy to have the live of my two dogs as well as all of the other pets in my life. There is just something about a story with a pet involved that makes me love it just a little more.
The story I’m going to highlight is Two Hearts Christmas Rescue by Tamara Ferguson which is the seventeenth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance.
Kinley is new to Crystal Rock, she’s been hired to run the animal shelter, specifically the Wounded Warrior program which will pair up animals and Veterans.
Jake is back in Crystal Rock on an assignment and while there is helping out at the shelter. He has no idea that someone from his past will come back into his life.
I really enjoyed the story but the animals were the stars as far as I’m concerned. Buster and McTavish had amazing and large personalities they both stole my heart.

May has continued this series with the perfect follow up. It stands on its own easily but if you are like me you’ll enjoy May’s writing so much you’ll want to pick up the rest of her books. Faida and Robert were a riveting pair to follow for me and I appreciated the struggles they both had to overcome before the book ended. Just a very enjoyable book and one I look forward to reading again.

I’m not sure what rock I’ve been living under that I haven’t discovered this author before now. But after devouring this book you can be assured that I am already adding the rest of this author’s works to my library. This book – I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed it. It was the perfect addition to my holiday list. A good clean romance with the perfect balance of sass. All of the characters blended perfectly and I loved the underlying theme of a strong family unit. 5++++ stars!

Moonlit Whisper: An Irish Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four stars
This was a short and sweet story. You don’t really learn much about the characters since it’s so short. You do get a lot of background history about Fio, Lach and Connor. I found the relationship dynamic interesting. I didn’t like how Fio kept talking about how she needed Connor and he wasn’t there. Like she wouldn’t have survived without a guy to lean on. Like he had no choice. Her relationship with Lach was so fake I saw the outcome s mile away. I loved how the necklace played a part in this. The fairies waking her up was extremely cute. Overall a nice quick read
Flipping the Bird (book one in the Shift Creek series) by Carrie Pulkinen was a great read! I was absolutely riveted with this novel. This is the first book I’ve read from Pulkinen before and it makes me wonder why I haven’t picked up any of her books before. The characters were great and full of personality. The book was full of comedy and sarcasm and just awesomeness. I fell in love with the small town setting. This is a shifter novel unlike any I’ve read before and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read more in the future!

Faida (Heartstrings Book 2) by Brooke May was a good 4 star read.
Faida is responsible for helping people find true love but has been jaded by some events that have happened and has caused her to have a hardened heart. But when she meets Robert they have something in common, he feels the same way she does. These two have a connection, can Faida help Robert? Will they both finally understand what true love is?
Overall I enjoyed the story. I really liked the characters, however it did take me a little bit to warm up to Robert, the author does a great job of pulling your right in with her writing. Even though it is part of a series, you can read Faida as a stand alone. If you like paranormal romance you will enjoy this series. 1-click and get started today.

Moonlit Whisper : An Irish Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) By Amy McKinley
This is a quick sweet read. This author always delivers and this time was no different. I wish the book would have been longer because I didn’t want it to end. I would love to keep reading about these wonderful characters. This story flows nicely and has plenty going on. Fiona, Connor, and Lachlan have been friends since childhood. Connor is now back after being gone for a while and he is hoping that Fiona still feels the same way about him that he feels about her. What will Lachlan have to say about Connor being back? To find out what happens with this trio this is a must read. I highly recommend this book. You will enjoy this quick romantic read.
Moonlit Whisper : An Irish Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley
This is another great read by Amy McKinley. McKinley knows how to draw readers in and keep them wanting more.
Fiona is a fourth year college student and is happy. At least she thinks she is. When the boy from next door moves back things change. The quote I chose for Fiona is: “I’m glad you’re back, Connor, but I’m not yours anymore. I’m engaged to Lachlan.”
Connor left his hometown to get away from his abusive dad. When he comes back he finds that things have changed. When Fiona ends her engagement he gets another chance. The quote I chose for Conner is: “It’s our turn, Fio, like we were always meant to be. I’m never leaving you again.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
In this full length novel, you will find suspense as well as romance. Jump on in, as this story will keep you involved.
Olivia Wrightwood has it all. A handsome husband, who works for the NYPD. Alex Mudarrz is a detective and at times very secretive. But that was his job and she understood his shortcomings. Even though something was off, she trusted her husband. Leaving her political lifestyle behind living the new happier life. So she thought. Maybe the second honeymoon will ease her thoughts. Or will it?
I must tell you Amy McKinley has taken suspenseful romance to new heights. I loved this story! I was so involved in the story and could not put it down. It is fast paced and keeps you turning pages. It will also touch on all of your feelings. The emotional Rollercoaster was incredible. Oh and the characters, I wanted to help Olivia and Alex, as things began to change. Nothing is as it seems in this story. Great Story Amy McKinley. Well Done!

Moonlit Whisper was a great read for me. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. Fiona, Connor and Lachlan were all childhood friends. Fio ( Fiona ) always left her window unlocked for Connor and he spent most nights sleeping in her bed. Connor was having major family issues and he left town because he was able to play soccer and get away from his family problems. Now he’s back and he wishes everything could go back to how they were before he left. Only problem is, Fiona and Lachlan are together now and Lachlan isn’t giving her up without a fight. Once best of friends now compete at nearly everything. Who will win the girl? Read this quick novella to find out what happens.
This story was fun to read. There was the quirkiness of young teenagers mixed with a little bit of magic. Oh…and some really yummy looking recipes! Cat is starting 8th grade. She is your typical teenager who likes to hang out with her friends, flirt with boys, and spend time with her best friend (and cousin). One thing that is not typical is that her mom never bakes anything…like ever! This has meant a life of reheated frozen food for every meal. So when she tries something from the new bakery in town…her life (and taste buds) are changed forever. When a scheduling mix up has her taking a culinary class as her elective, her world will never be the same. She learns that there are secrets that her family is hiding from her. As she sets out to find out what her gift means and how exactly to use it…she finds that it is not as easy as she thought. This leads to some moments that had me laughing as I read the story. This was a great book by an author that is new to me…but it won’t be the last. I am hoping there is another book to follow up with Cat and her family.

Another great short, PG-13 romance from Amy McKinley. I liked this one better than A Moonlit Whisper because I found the love triangle and the college setting more interesting. Fiona is faced with a difficult decision: Stay with her fiancé, Lachlan, or rekindle her romance with her long lost ex-boyfriend, Conner.
Fictional or not, I never agree with people who cheat on their partners, so I was interested to see how A Moonlit Whisper dealt with this. In the end, I believe that the story had enough substance and backstory for everything to resolve the way McKinley wanted. I recommend this for anyone looking for a nice, short romance.

Flipping the Bird: A Paranormal Chick Lit Novel by Carrie Pulkinen is from the new series Shift Creek. This book is a delightfully entertaining paranormal read. I flew through the adventures of crow shifter, Alice Crawford and warlock, Donovan Drake as they try to save Shift Creek’s waterway. I always enjoy the books of this author. She always has some humour to go along with her realistic characters. Alice is funny but well-meaning. She just wants to save the community she loves. Donovan is new to the community but he wants to find his place in the world. I look forward to reading more in this series soon and this author.

This is a good story. This is a romantic suspense book. I liked following along with the characters lives as they struggle to get over the past. Jace is a wonderful character. He has a lot of nice traits that appeal to readers as well as Tara. Tara is a struggle at times I’m not sure if she is over her husband or not. Anyway their first meeting is sweet as well as their first kiss.
The family is awesome! I enjoyed each of them and I will like watching them get their own stories. I didn’t know much about the family since I haven’t read book one. I didn’t feel lost as certain events were described nicely for me to comfortably follow along.
I read the sneak peek at the end of the book and look forward to reading the next in the series.
