McEwen
When your world is thrown into turmoil at a young age can you recover and love and live again.
First off I need to say you will need a box of tissues, a quiet room where no one can see you cry and just soak up this glorious book. I rarely give five stars for books, although the books are brilliant in writing and characters a five star book to me has to hit me square in the chest and I have to have real gut emotion which this book does. OH MY GOSH does it.
The book follows the life of Maggie through her life and the ups and downs which follow her and boy does she have some downs, but when she finds solace in a seaside town and finds a family of sorts she starts to believe that all goods things come to those who wait. As the story goes through her life in this sleepy town it also crosses with her daughter Rachel in her life.
Rachel escaped from Shadow Brook leaving behind her family and close friends, she is a big city editor for a publishing company and has a loving husband. They have strived to have children which Maggie is pleading her to have but as the story goes through she can’t conceive so she has basically given up hope. Until one early trip back from the office to surprise her husband, her husband surprises her which has her running back to Shadow Brook and finding tragedy.
As the stories intertwine you get a feeling of the relationship Rachel had with her mother and the secrets which were buried deep all those years ago but will a stranger in the Inn open Pandora’s box and reveal a secret which has been kept from Rachel for her whole life and will she ever be the same.
I loved this book and cried so much my emotions where all over the place, the characters where rich and warm and I instantly engaged with the story from the first words. Please if there is one book you need to read it’s this one, this is the first book I have read by this author and would love to read the first book in this instalment and the rest. Thank you for letting us into your world.

Blind Magic. The Sanctuary Chronicles (Book 2) by India Kells. What a truly fantastic read. I adored this book. Real fantasy and a completely unique story. I couldn’t put this book down and was hooked from start to finish. India Kells is a awesome author, she’s got such a talented writing style and knows how to keep her audience captivated. Sera is a witch who’s recently lost her sight and given the gift of visions but Sera and people around her are in danger. Ian is a Wolf with past issues, who is drawn to Sera even though he shouldn’t be. These two characters were brilliant to get to know both their stories were intriguing and I enjoyed reading them.

Dead Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles by India Kells is a fantastic addition to this series. It has such strong and gripping characters that will pull you entirely in to the book. Violet and Finn just worked so well together, you could feel their connection despite how much they may not want it to be there. The story was interesting too. I wanted to find out what was going on and it really made the pages turn quick. This author really knows how to write a great book. Everything I have read by her I have enjoyed and this is no exception. I would highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Dares & Dice is the fifth book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. As with the rest of the books in this series, this is a really captivating contemporary romance. You don’t need to have read the rest of the series to enjoy this one- but I really recommend that you do, as all the books are fantastic in their own right, as well as setting the atmosphere for the series as a whole and allow you to ‘see’ what goes on at the ‘adult theme park’- Spicetopia. The map at the beginning of the book gives you plenty of ideas on what Spicetopia has to offer. And let’s just say there’s a whole lot of fun to be had on that island!!! This is a sexy, flirty and fun story- with humour, funny banter and antics, a little drama, surprises, sizzling chemistry, and lots more. What happens when a bachelor party at an adult theme park meets a bachelorette party in full swing at the same venue? Roll the dice and place your bets, because the sparks are going to fly! The story was such a fun read, with a few surprising developments thrown in to keep things quite intriguing! Another fabulous read from Ms. Alexander! Hope there’s a book #6 in the works!!!

A blind witch and a broken werewolf are bought together with a forbidden love spell in this book by India Kells. Sera Dover is an orphan witch where she’s obsessed with her magic and spell books. Determined to escape her past and move on with her future, she was hit with blindness unable to protect herself from a dangerous threat.

He doesn’t believe he’ll ever replace her but when he meets Sera and her energy draws him in from her intelligence to her strong will.

This is a beautiful book with unexpected turns and secrets along the way. Maggie, in 1966, ran from her hometown after her life turned upside down with a baby in tow but still young. Maggie was running from friends, parents, and him: It was the only thing she could do. Until she finds Shadow Brook at a comfortable inn to forget her past, locking out her past but protecting her daughter from a devastating past but hidden away in a dark attic where they belong — far away from her daughter. Thirty years later, Rachel seeks a better life for herself other than the inn but a better life in New York with the sexy husband, great career, and the fast-paced city life. Life throws you curveballs when everything seems to be going right. Rachel’s life is turned upside down after catching her husband cheating, her mom dies when she turns to Shadow Brook but rekindles her life with her high school sweetheart, Luke. When renovations are underway at the inn, Rachel comes across her mom’s old letters and journals in the attic. This is a beautiful story of forgiveness, love, overcoming hardship and full of sweet and sensual with a sense of humor to make this book a beautiful read!

Another Yesterday is the 2nd book in the Seashells and Second Chances Collection by Angela Christina Archer. This is a series where the lead women are overcoming hardships and are looking for a second chance. Each of the books in this series can be read as a stand-alone. This was the first time I had read any of this author’s work. I was taken in by the blurb and decided to give it a chance. I’m so glad that I took a chance on this book as I thoroughly enjoyed it. In Another Yesterday we get 2 different tales, one of the mother Maggie and the other, her daughter Rachel. This is a very emotional book that will pull you in from the very beginning and will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions and not let you go until the very end. I absolutely loved both women’s stories. The author has created 2 amazing characters and you can’t help but be totally drawn in and moved by their stories. Both women have bad experiences the first time they fall in love but fight on and face a second chance at finding true love. Will the 2 women find true love at the second attempt? I urge you to read this great book and find out for yourself.

Loved this book!! From beginning to end I was completely captivated by Finn and Violet’s story! The author (who I adore) wove a magical paranormal romance tale of two wonderful characters! There was so much going on in the story that I couldn’t put it down at all and read it in one sitting! The story just flowed easily from page to page – I think this could possibly be one of my favourite books by Ms Kells! I love how Violet and Finn really shouldn’t be together, Violet hates vampires, but there was something there between the two of them that was undeniable! I loved the interaction between the two of them! I did feel for Violet and what happened to her in her past and Finn really wanted to protect her. I absolutely adored this story and cannot recommend it enough to other readers!

New Jerk in Town: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy (Carolina Kisses Book 2) by Sylvie Stewart
4 Stars
I am a self proclaimed dedicated fan of Sylvie Stewart, I’ve read many of her books and one day plan to read them all. I really enjoyed this one although maybe not my favorite so far.
Not sure why but it took me a bit to get totally wrapped up in the story and that’s unusual. I did love the characters. The back and forth of Milo and Jill was fun to read. I love a good friends to enemies to lovers story which is what kept me in this book. I don’t know why but I didn’t really like the going back in time part. I’m not sure if there was just too much of it or what I had a problem with, I did skim quite a bit of that. I know it was needed but for some reason a lot of it did not interest me. I think it might be because I enjoyed the present day so much that I didn’t like breaking off and going back. I have read Jenna’s Story but I need to go back and read The Nerd Next Door because somehow I missed that one.
I did still 100% love this book. I love this author and will always read whatever she offers. I can’t wait for book 3, Ponch and Andie I have a feeling will be fun to read.

This is an anthology that is full of short stories that have action, romance and paranormal. Each story has a heroine that is the star of the story. This is a great collection of stories by some great authors. Some are my favorites and some are new to me. There is something for everyone and the adventures they take you on from castles to sexy exs and everything in between. My favorite story was by Maggie Adams – Good Bones. It was exciting and a well developed story. It left me wanting more and turning pages fast. I really enjoyed it for sure. I loved seeing females being the star of the stories and being the heroines which we don’t always see in stories. The males were supportive and steamy. I highly recommend this book. I know you will find a favorite among them.
5 Star Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2) by Angela Christina Archer is a wonderfully written story that I found myself drawn in from the beginning and I couldn’t stop reading till the end. Wow what an emotional rollercoaster ride, I pretty much either was teary eyed or close to it the whole time. At times it really pulled at my heartstrings. I will say at first I was a bit confused by the switching back and forth but I realized what was going on and it flowed from there. Rachel is a woman who finds her husband in bed with another woman . Her mother passes away and she finds herself leaving the life she knew to go back to Shadow Brook to the inn her mom owned. She is renovating the inn when she comes across a box of her moms stuff inside is letters and journals. Rachel learns so much from these journals Her mom Maggie was 19 when she ends up in Shadow Brook with a tiny baby. Will Rachel find herself again? Will she get a second chance at love ? Get ready for a emotional rollercoaster ride that you won’t regret reading. I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read more from this Author.View all my reviews

“…the pressure to act a certain way as though nothin’ had happened or to smile as though nothin’ bothered me or to live as though I’d gone through none of what I had. So many had told me in the last couple of months my life would get easier, time will heal my wounds, and I will laugh again and I will go on livin’ and I will love again. Each statement, and especially the last one, always felt like the rug was yanked out from under my feet. I didn’t want easier and I didn’t want my wounds healed. I wanted to not have them at all.”
Another Yesterday is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances Collection by Angela Christina Archer. Even though this is the second book in a series, it can be read as a standalone, as each book focuses on different characters. But after reading this book, I will definitely go back to read book one as well because if it’s anything like this story, it’s bound to be wonderful. This is a sweet and sensual, contemporary romance with second chances, emotion, humour, secrets, sacrifice, betrayal, new beginnings, overcoming hardship, challenges, small town life, discovery, two timelines, family, mother-daughter relationships, surprising developments, and some drama. This is my first book by Angela Christina Archer- so I was excited to see what lay in store for me. Ms. Archer writes beautifully- easily drawing me into the story and keeping me turning the pages. I found myself completely engrossed in the storyline, immediately investing in the characters and the outcome of their stories. I didn’t expect there to be such an emotional component to the story, which really tugged at my heartstrings. The way the story is written with several perspectives, and two different timelines- gave this story so much added interest, as well as revealing several surprising developments which I never saw coming. Maggie arrives in Shadow Brook in 1966, having left everything she knew behind in the hope of starting fresh with her baby girl. The small town in Maine becomes home, with the beautiful old Inn becoming her sanctuary, where she could embrace the future and leave her past behind. Moving forward thirty years, Rachel (Maggie’s daughter) has returned to Shadow Brook after her own heartbreak. It isn’t exactly where she wants to be- but life has a way of throwing you curve-balls when you least expect it. Rachel is about to face the past from two separate directions- one in the form of hidden family secrets, and the other in the form of her former high school sweetheart, Luke. What ensues makes for a captivating read. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2) by Angela Christina Archer heartfelt story that is told by several POV’s. The story jumps back and forth as one or the other tells their story, mother and daughter but years apart. It is easy to fall in love with and get lost in the characters and the world Angela has created.
A young mum finds a home in a small town away from everyone and starts to build a life for herself and her daughter.
Years later Rachel finds her life falling apart as the man who promised forever broke everything. She soon finds herself back in the small town she left many years ago trying to put her life back together. She also finds that there are many secrets that she never saw coming.

I thought this was a really good book! This isn’t my first book by this author and it won’t be my last because she keeps putting out great books and I end up liking every one of them. This was a paranormal story that the author brought to life with her charcters and her attention to details. I love all of the witches and shifters and the story had some parts that I didn’t see coming which was awesome. I can’t wait to read more by this author and more in this same series! I would recommend to anyone that loves paranormal, this one is a great one to spend a day reading on! Go get it! Happy Reading!

Wow. This relationship filled story left my heart shattered in the best possible way. So many emotions! Going in to this I expected to enjoy the storyline but I was unprepared for the multiple layers to the story that added such a fantastic depth to each page. Lost love, lost family, reignited passion, going home – so many wonderful layers. Archer does a beautiful job with this book. It stands alone easily (for which I’m thankful not having yet read the first in the series). But I will definitely look to add more from this series and author to my library ASAP.

Blind Magic (The Sanctuary Chronicles #2) by India Kells was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning if you like paranormal romance you will love this book.
Sera is a witch who is gradually losing her sight. She is curious and likes to learn about things and she isn’t shy about asking people questions. I loved the scene where she asked Ian to turn for her so she could see how it was done.
We move forward with a great story with mystery and twist and turns. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I really liked Sera’s strength and fierceness in protecting her loved ones. The connection between Sera and Ian was great, you could feel it coming off the pages. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

Blind Magic: The Sanctuary Chronicles Book 2 by India Kells
I loved this book. This isn’t the first book I have read by this author so I knew it would be good going in because she is a very talented author. It turned out to be great.This story is full of magic, suspense, romance, amazing characters and more. I could not get enough of Ian, he is very protective of Sera and is drawn to her. His past shattered his heart but when he’s with Sera he feels better. Sera is intelligent, independent and fiercely loyal. There are also other characters in this book that would do anything for each other. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I was completely enthralled in this unique and wonderful story. I was hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I found out what was gonna happen. I highly recommend this awesome book.

Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2) by Angela Christina Archer
4-Stars
Another Yesterday (Seashells and Second Chances Collection Book 2) by Angela Christina Archer was very enjoyable. I loved this second chance romance novel. It had a great storyline and interesting characters. I loved Maggie and Rachel and the back and forth between time. It was interesting to read things that happened with her mom. I hated Rachel’s ex hubby Paul after what happened. It broke my heart. Overall I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

I love paranormal and this book was unlike any paranormal I’ve read before, it’s refreshing. This book can be read as a stand alone but, I would recommend reading the first book. The story is wonderful, my heart was breaking for Sera, not because she is blind, because she can handle her own even with her disability, but because she couldn’t be with the one her heart loves the most. I was nervous for her and Ian, her werewolf lover, with Ian’s struggle to come to terms with his wife and daughter that have passed as well as the rules against inter species dating. The clever part to me in this book is finding out that Sera is not only a witch, and it’s a surprise at who her father really is, and the lengths she goes to find out how to stop the shadow people from coming after her and killing her. The loyalty of her friends and the shifter community is beautiful, they all rally to keep Sera safe and help wherever possible. I can’t wait to read Finn’s story which I am hoping comes next!

The story is wonderful, my heart was breaking for Sera, not because she is blind, because she can handle her own even with her disability, but because she couldn’t be with the one her heart loves the most. I was nervous for her and Ian, her werewolf lover, with Ian’s struggle to come to terms with his wife and daughter that have passed as well as the rules against inter species dating. The clever part to me in this book is finding out that Sera is not only a witch, and it’s a surprise at who her father really is, and the lengths she goes to find out how to stop the shadow people from coming after her and killing her. The loyalty of her friends and the shifter community is beautiful, they all rally to keep Sera safe and help wherever possible. I can’t wait to read Finn’s story which I am hoping comes next!

Another Yesterday by Angela Christina Archer is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances Collection. The books can be read as standalone which was fantastic since this was my first read by this author. This book is full of family, love, and second chances. We get the story of Maggie, who needs to start her life over for herself and her baby girl in a small town. Thirty years later we get the story of Rachel who thought she had everything she ever wanted to lose it all and have to start over. This story is emotional and full of learning about the past in order to move on and have a better future. Will Rachel be able to find the light at the end of her path? I really enjoyed this story and how multifaceted it was. Truly between Maggie and Rachel you get two stories in one. I will be checking out other books in this series soon.

I enjoyed this book. This is a new author for me and I will be looking for more from her for sure. This is a story written with lots of heart and soul. It is like two stories in one. Two women both strong and both facing second chances despite what life has thrown at them. I had no problem connecting with the characters. They took me on a roller coaster ride that kept me turning pages. First you have Maggie who finds herself a single parent running from everything she knew. She finds a small town and runs an inn. Now you have Rachel who finds her husband cheating and she loses her mother at the same time. She suddenly finds herself the new owner of the inn. Will she find love in her high school boyfriend again? Will she find herself? There is much going on in this book and it was written well so you don’t get lost. This was a great rainy day read and I highly recommend it.

Another Yesterday by Angela Christina Archer was a great, entertaining, heartfelt novel! I had so much trouble putting this book once I started reading it. This is the second book in the Seashells and Second Chances series, but you don’t have to read the first installment to understand this book. Or at least, I didn’t and I haven’t read the first one. This novel had me laughing and crying, and this is a book I would love to read sitting on the beach, by the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and I highly recommend it! I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Dares & Dice is the fifth novel in the Spicetopia series from Phoebe Alexander. I never feel like I have the right words to describe how much I love Phoebe’s work when I go to sit down to review it. I always feel as if I know the characters that I have read about and that is something I love finding in novels. I want to connect to the characters and love them and find myself cheering for the happily ever after that everyone wants. This one, Dares & Dice is no exception to the rule.
We get to meet Ty and Makenna in this one. Makenna is at Spicetopia for the bachelorette party of her dreams. Mind you Spicetopia is an adult theme amusement park, so there are a lot of opportunities for some wild and crazy fun as you would expect. The steam flows right through the kindle screen as you read these two and I could not get enough. See Ty is not her fiance… will he be the one last fun time situation that Makenna thinks is all she needs? These two are a story that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed the way they played off each other and I found myself hoping for the poor fiance to be left in the dust long before the book was over. I can only hope we get more Spicetopia novels in the future because this is an amusement park I want to come back to over and over again.
I enjoyed this novel and like the other stories in the series it is about strong independent woman who overcome hardships and find their second chances. The story is a sweet and sensual contemporary romance, which took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone story. “Two lives. Two stories. One fateful afternoon family secrets are uncovered from the hidden depths of the past.” In 1966, nineteen year old Maggie finds herself alone with a baby having left the city, her friends, family and the baby’s father behind. Maggie ends up in a tiny town in Maine, Shadow Brook at a beautiful inn, a place where she can forget her past and start a fresh with her daughter. In 1996, Rachel finds herself at her mothers run down inn in Maine. Having loved her life and career in busy hectic New York she’s not happy to return to her childhood home. However after her mother passed away and she then finds her husband in bed with another woman, Rachel finds herself back in Shadow Brook. Finding herself face to face with Luke, her high school boyfriend complicates matters further. Whilst clearing out her mother’s things from the attic, she comes across an old box of letters and journals and secrets from her mother’s past suddenly come to light. I found this novel to be wonderfully written with a storyline that really captured me and kept me turning the pages well into the night. I loved the characters, both Maggie and Rachel are likeable and realistic and the problems that they overcome made them very relatable. I especially enjoyed the similarities and differences between the mother and daughters lives and how they both ended up in Shadow Brook for their own second chances. I definitely recommend this novel, and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander 4 Stars!!!!
Yet another great adventure in Spicetopia. I have read this whole series so far and yet again I was lost in the Spicetopia world with yet another great couple and a bit of drama thrown in to boot. I really could not put this book down and really could not wait to see how things would end up. The author has a really good way of luring the reader in and once hooked keeping your attention.
I really thought that the story of Makenna and Ty was kind of sweet. The whole situation is sort of complex from the beginning and the author has quite the way to spin the complexity. I could really feel the pain of Makenna as she is confronted with the betrayal and also could feel the rush of excitement when venturing into the unknown. I also really like how Ty didn’t let his family stand in the way of what he wants to do. I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read more from this author and hopefully this series in the future. Reviewed by @caraleeloonat
I can’t even put into words all of the emotions this story has put me through. Love, frustration, loss, sorrow, heartbreak, surprise and the sparkle of first love, even second love. At first I struggled with this. But at about 30% it really started coming together. There are plenty of date/year switches but as the story goes on I can see a reason for each and every one of them.
The writing in here is wonderful. The author made me care about the characters. Feel their joy and cry tears with them. There are certain parts in here that just really pulled on those old heartstrings. This is a definite journey that I went on that spans over time. Sometimes I felt it was a bit wordy and some areas could have been cut down but for the most part I really liked it.
The characters really just pulled me into their life. I felt the second love of James and Maggie as well as all the emotions of her first love, Charles. Then there is Rachel and her life with Paul and her regrets with Luke. This has secrets that are played out over the course of this story. Everyone has secrets but how damaging are they?
