This is one huge adventure! It really kept my interest as we go from one scene to the next. Just when I think I am getting it figured out. We go to another place and I have to start all over again. I am not complaining it just really kept me on my toes. This is filled with politics, dangerous creatures, immortals, rebellion and one guy who thinks he is God.
The characters are endless. But I loved learning and meeting each one. They all have unique traits that add to or help move the story along. As we follow Alina along her journey we see her skittishness then how it turns to confidence.
Overall this is an intriguing story. As for the characters there are a few I want to more of their story. What will happen when Zaiden arrives if ever? Will Oliver become her one? What’s up with Jade and Mae? J’koby, Camden…the list goes in. As you can see this story isn’t over. So bring on book 2!

Having read previous books from this author I knew that I would have no problem diving into this read and thoroughly enjoying it, and I wasn’t wrong! I loved this book from page 1, it really was a great feel-good, rom-com that had you laughing out loud numerous times throughout and thoroughly enjoying the characters and following along on their journey. These characters were real, down to earth and funny and because of how great the characters are it made me not want to put this read down. This author definitely knows how to create an amazing read that really hooks you, and leaves you wanting more! I highly recommend this read, its not to be missed, and I can’t wait to read more from her!

Finding His Zen is a great short read by Tammy Mannersly. I had read another of Tammy Mannersly’s books recently (Drawn To Him) and really enjoyed it, so was looking forward to reading more of her work. Although Finding his Zen is just over 100 pages, the author has packed a great story into those 100 paged and I really enjoyed this book. Finding His Zen is a small town romance. When top swimmer Sebastian DuMont comes back to his home town to open a new leisure centre his thoughts of retiring and moving home are increased when he meets the lovely owner of the centre, Zenia Andino and is totally taken with her. She’s already a huge fan of his having had had posters on her wall as a teenager. Needless to say many obstacles are put in the way of the 2 of them trying to start a relationship with each other. In particular Sebastian’s horrid manager who I totally despised throughout the book and also Zenia’s sister who I also was not a fan of at all both were massive obstacles to Seb and Zen having their HEA. I really enjoyed this book. I loved Seb and Zen. Both are great characters that you can’t help but totally adore and want everything to work out for the pair. This was a great short read that I devoured in about 90 minutes and did not put down until I was finished.

When you have loved only two men in your life and they both happen to be your best friends, can a friendship survive?
Ava is from the infamous Rhodes family and although she has everything the thing she requires the most is love, while at college she finally gets her fantasy with her best friends with a night of pure passion but by morning everything changes.
After that fateful night Hunter has been trying to fight the demons from his past with trying to move forward. After working with Ava and Thomas for years he now has to ask for forgiveness or will there relationship be lost forever.
Thomas has always struggled with understanding what happened that night, what caused Hunter to run for the hills and because of that his relationship with Ava had fizzled out over the years, but when a letter and a box of letters appears on his doorstep can he find it in his heart to forgive and forget and get back the only people he has ever truly loved.
The first book in this series was brilliant but I think I loved this book more, Ava is such a great strong character within the first book you know there must be a story behind her coldness. The three of them together have great chemistry and although the story in arced with Shattered the first book it does not loss its own flow for their story.
I can’t wait to read the other books in this series and with there being other siblings that are just as interesting in Ava and Gabe I can’t wait.

The Crocodile Makes No Sound (The Lord Hani Mysteries #2) by N.L. Holmes
This is the second book in The Lord Hani Mystery Series, but can be read as a standalone. Holmes has a way of bringing any of her characters to life. I enjoy all her books.
Hani is at it again, but this time it involves several royals. Things get dangerous once again when his family is involved. His brother-in-law goes missing and no one knows where he went.
Hani has his family move to the farm house as they don’t feel safe at home. Things get tough when Hani is summoned by the Queen. The quote I chose for Hani is: “It’s going to be hard for anyone to follow me through the crowds of merrymakers today. Once I’m in the country, I’ll be able to see whoever’s around as easily as they can see me.”
If you like crime books then this is one for you. I highly recommend it.

This was such a fresh take on paranormal romance that I greatly enjoyed! It’s a quick and light read, full of laugh out loud humor. It had a good dose of spooky feels to it also! Easy to squeeze into a lazy afternoon and highly recommended for the season.

I decided to read this book on a whim and I am so happy I took the plunge! This book was more on the poetic side than I’m accustomed to, but it was so charming. It’s always such a breath of fresh air to get a peek into the thoughts of others and this is what Maria DeBlassie gave us. This book made me want to sit and reflect, which is the purpose, but I was impressed by the success behind the words. While I do think you need to be in a certain mindset for reading this, it would be a wonderful book to keep around the house a pick up in the mornings with a cup of coffee and just be at one with yourself.

This book was something, guys. Liam, a cop, and Catriona, a nun, stole my heart. They were absolutely perfect together. I love when couples aren’t picture perfect for one another in every way and that’s exactly what India Kells gave us with True Bastard. The love in this book is unlikely and unexpected, but it really works. The supporting characters were really well developed, also! While this is book 4, it can be read as a stand-alone.

I’m going to start by saying that Moonlight is the first book in the Rose of Anzio series, and I definitely recommend reading it! I don’t usually read the historical romance genre, but when I read the blurb on this book it definitely caught my attention. I adored the dynamic between Tessa and Anthony, I couldn’t put this book down, finishing it in just a few days! Alexa’s attention to detail is immaculate, and will transport you back to pre war era Chicago in this amazing love story. I very much look forward to reading the next book in this series and I recommend you check it out!

Rookie Moves: A Quick Snap Novella By Tarrah Anders 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Rookie Moves: A Quick Snap Novella by Tarrah Anders. It is a romantic novella that I fell in love with from the beginning. I love the characters of Grant Toolson and Emily Masterson. Grant is a rookie that is attracting a lot of attention. What will happen when he attracts the attention of Emily? Emily is the mayor’s daughter. While she knows how she is supposed to act, when she meets Grant, she finds herself showing him the real her. Emily and Grant have intense chemistry together. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. I love how Emily is a young woman who knows what she likes. She is intelligent, strong, determined, and independent. Grant is a young man who has a past however is looking forward to his future in football. I grew to care about both Grant and Emily with each chapter that I read. There are romantic moments included in this story. I also enjoyed the bantering back and forth between Emily and Grant. Don’t miss out on an amazing story that you will not want to put down until you have finished the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

Love On The Ropes (Love In Action Book 1) By Aviva Vaughn 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Love On The Ropes (Love In Action Book 1) by Aviva Vaughn. It is a story that is romantic and humorous. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. I love the characters of Clint Davenport and Erin Hung. When they are in the same place there is electricity and chemistry like you wouldn’t believe. There are also times when they clash. Will they give each other and a relationship a chance or will they push each other away? Read this book to find out. I love that Erin is a woman who is independent and ambitious. She is up to the challenge of getting a promotion. Clint is a man who may be on public radio however not many know of the tragedy that haunts him. He is taken aback by his intense feelings for Erin. I grew to care about Clint and Erin with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to be happy and rooting for their success in all they wanted to accomplish. There are also secondary characters that I enjoyed reading. The author does an amazing job of making both the story and the characters come to life on the pages. Some moments will make you laugh and others that will touch your heart. Don’t miss out on an endearing and entertaining book. I highly recommend reading it.

I loved reading the book Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes. It is the story of a young man, Brek O’Brien. The book takes place in 1926 and it tells a story about drugs and trouble. It is also a story that includes the light that Brek has been searching for in the person of a young woman named Gabriella. Brek is a young man who does what he has to survive. Gabriella is a young woman who is beautiful and intelligent. What does the future hold for Gabriella and Brek? This is a story that has emotional moments as well as heart-pounding and suspenseful scenes. I grew to care about Brek and Gabriella with each chapter that I read. The author does a wonderful job in weaving a tale that made me get lost in another time. The story is also written in such a way that the story and characters come alive on the pages. Don’t miss out on a journey that is at times heart-pounding and suspenseful. I would highly recommend reading it.

This story got better and better as it moved along. I struggled at first getting into the story and the characters (although I do like Penny’s name and her sisters). It just seemed stilted and I ended up skimming and reading dialogue only. But as the story got more and more interesting I couldn’t put it down. It left me wondering what was going to happen with, after and during each date.
I ended up liking Penny and George. They really went through some stuff and I wondered if they ever would come out the other side together. I think George is my favorite. While at times he is a jerk he really has some insightful comments and ideas. When these two kiss….it’s explosive!
While the sisters are helpful I didn’t feel any family connection between them. That’s what I mean by stilted. Just that they were their and the conversation just didn’t flow.
Overall it’s a good read! Interesting and made me chuckle a time or two. The connection between the George and Penny is electric at times.

This story begins with Julie Jensen writing to her sister to tell her that she has moved to England with the family of the children that she looks after. It is a surprise to herself that she made the decision to go and that she is looking forward to the challenge of living somewhere completely different to her life in the midwest of America. We join her as she moves into her accommodation in East Grinstead at the Saint Hill mansion which holds the international headquarters of the Church, who the family work for.
She is signed in and told where she will be living, which turns out to be one of the outlying cottages and not the mansion, as she hoped, once she has lugged her enormous suitcase of belongings there, she meets Sheila who she will be living with, Sheila helps her to settle in and takes her on a tour of the grounds.
As Julie settles into her routine of childcare during the day and her artwork for the church at night, she slowly gets used to the changes and differences she is encountering, although, she is enjoying meeting the people who pass through from all around the world and learning about their cultures and personalities, be that during work, where they enjoyed meals, in the old ballrooms where they could enjoy hobbies and leisure time, or at the parties which the Church throw on weekends she makes friends and flirts with some of the men, but only one really catches her eye. She was also enjoying the freedom to walk around the surrounding countryside, villages and scenic areas, as well as exploring the mansion and the surprises it hid.
This is where these relationships all start to develop and other opportunities come Julie’s way, however, not all of these opportunities are equal, some good and some bad, but all are things which turn her life around and as she continues life with the church and the new places she visits because of this, her life changes in ways she could never have imagined.
This is a story which leads you around the world in a flurry of emotions and excitement, where choices are made, relationships develop and break down, love and loss cause disruption and all of these things create a journey worth reading and exploring.

This book is a very interesting look at the life of John the Baptist, I am not a religious person and this is not a religious book in any way, however, I still found it immensely informative and thought provoking.
This story starts with Tiberius Claudius Nero Cesar Augustus, or Tiberius the Great one having a discussion with his emissary and close friend Paternuns Maximas he tells him of the things he has learned while on his travels to Syria, Jerusalem, Palestine and the Judean Desert. They discuss the legionnaires stationed out there, the situation with King Herod, the rebellious uprising of a group of religious zealots and the rising of a Hebrew “King” and a powerful and influential man who will aid him from the Essene religion. They discuss the problems that these different parties are causing the legions and how to remedy it, this is as well as discussing the “God” of these new religions and how his followers have said that they will remove the “invaders” from their lands. This worries Tiberius, especially because it isn’t a god which is known to them or one that they are familiar with.
This is where we first hear about John the Baptist or the “Desert Prophet” and the things that he has done, miracles he has performed and to Paternus, other outlandish things. It is this that worries Tiberius more than anything is that these “god-men” could become more powerful than him.
We next join Rabbi John the Nazarene and learn more about his daily life, who he interacts with, as well as his family and the journey which he will go on with them. We learn that he is a humble man who lives by himself in the desert, he baptises and preaches to the local population and lives a solitary, but enjoyable life by the River Jordan. His peaceful life is then interrupted by a visit from an old friend he has known since school who comes to him with a message. This message is that he is going to be an influential man who will teach people about love and equality, he will do this with the aid of a woman and that this will also be his demise.
This is where we truly learn about the journey he embarks on in the first person as his soul tells his story and enlightens the readers about the messages he brought and his life while he did this. It talks about his thoughts, feelings, experiences and ultimately his death. It is an original concept which is absorbing and wonderful to experience.

This was a great but quick read as its a novella. We get to know Grant and Emily quickly and just enough to like them pretty quickly. I loved that they didn’t know who each other were and their status meant nothing to either of them. And even despite some secrets they found out they ignored them and carried on. Great read highly recommend this series and novella.

Once again we are entranced by another Bastard! True Bastard is Book 4 in the Dark Sparrows series by India Kells. Liam Harker is one of the brothers that is ready to take down his father for all that it costs. Problem number one…he is a cop. He has been tasked to go through his father’s financials but in order to do so he is going to need some help. Here comes problem number two…his help is newbie nun who just happens to have a talent in numbers. And the final problem…he has an attraction to said nun. Sister Catriona Walsh is just about to take her vows to become a full-fledged nun when she is asked to help Liam go through the financials. I would definitely read the other books first as they contain information to keep you informed about what has happened previously. I loved this book as I loved the others and I really hope that there is another book in the series so we can finish out the brothers. I just love all the character and how they interact with each other. It is such an adventure to see this series unfold and this book didn’t disappoint!

Rookie Moves: A Quick Snap Novella by Tarrah Anders
4 Stars
This was a quick one sitting read. I truly love this author and have read many of her books. I’m not normally a big fan of any kind of books that revolve around sports which is why I was almost hesitant to pick it up, but then I thought twice about it because..I mean…It’s Tarrah LOL
I’m so glad I gave this a shot. I laughed out loud a few times and really loved the whole concept of this story. Grant and Emily were awesome and I loved the bond that they formed, but is this bond enough to get them through when secrets start to come out?
The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because I just wanted more, what I got was awesome so no complaints there, I just would have loved it if the book was longer. I love this author’s writing style and I’m in kind of a book slump right now and this was just what I needed to actually feel what I was reading.

I thoroughly enjoyed this World War II epic love story by Alexa Kang. Set in the summer of 1940, fourteen year old Tessa Graham has been sent from England to live with the Ardley family in Chicago. This move is for Tessa’s safety and happens just before the Blitz in London. Finding herself in a unfamiliar city and feeling claustrophobic by the rich and prominent Ardley family she finds herself exploring the infamous South Side. Here Tessa discovers a world of jitterbug dancing and gets immersed in the powerful Irish community. Meanwhile eighteen year old Anthony Ardley is now of age to be conscripted but he does not want to leave his privileged life on the campus of the University of Chicago. Anthony is sole heir to the Ardley fortune and is expected to stand with his staunch isolationist beloved uncle. However he is tempted to join his more radical classmates wanting American intervention. Both Tessa and Anthony are discovering themselves but they also discover each other as their paths keep crossing time and time again and their relationship changes over time. This is a wonderfully written coming of age story and an epic love story all in one. The authors detailed descriptions of time and place really transported me back to pre war era Chicago and into a world that felt as though it was fast loosing control. The main characters, Tessa and Anthony were well defined and relatable and I liked how their opinions of each other changed as did their relationship throughout the story. The will they, won’t they aspect to the story definitely kept me guessing and happily turning the pages. This book gripped me from start to finish as the plot was multilayered and the narrative kept the book flowing nicely making it an enjoyable read. The authors note at the end clarified some historical facts and was interesting. I look forward to the rest of the series and being back with Tessa and Anthony and what ever the future holds for them both.

I really enjoyed this book y Mina Chara. It was a really good read and I love continuing the journey of discovering who Friday Fitzsimmons is as a person. Her lover story with Ashley is so full of twists and turns, it is leaving me guessing how it will all end. The Hero High series is funny and a joy to read. I highly recommend the series to anyone looking to start a new adventure. I look forward to reading more by Mina Chara.

I enjoyed this fantasy book about a young girl who is looking to find her own way in life. I was pulled into this book from the first page. The characters made the story feel real and really brought it to life. It is full of fantasy, immortals and so much more. I had no issues connecting to the characters as they took me on their journey. Kara made a great character. She made the story engaging and easy to read. I enjoyed watching her grow as she faces a truth of not belonging and looking for the acceptance she desires. What and where will destiny take her on her journey? This is a shorter story but it is paced full magic and action. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this romance comedy. I have read quite a few books by this author, this one ranks up with one of my favorites by her. She rights with lots of heart and soul. Her stories are well written and pull you in right from the start. This book is no different. The characters are connectable and made the story feel real. I had no issues putting myself in the story with Erin and Clint. They made the story easy to read and engaging. Clint is an ex-pilot and she is a marketing manager. What will happen when the only way for her to get a raise is to work with this arrogant man? I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the story. Their banter back and forth made me giggle a few times. They have such great chemistry. I found myself hoping they would see what is right in front of them and get their HEA. Is romance what they both need? I really enjoyed their characters and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. I have read all of this author’s books, they just keep getting better and better. I loved how each of her books built on the previous one. This is the third book in this series and I highly suggest reading the previous books in the series to help enhance your enjoyment of this series. This is a well written story that is written with heart and soul. The characters made the story pop off the pages as they bring their lives to life. In this story we get to see Giovanni and Serena. Giovanni is the next in line to take over the casino and resort. Serena is also the love of his life. He must learn that life has challenges and throw you curveballs even if they mean life and death. What happens in this story you will need to read but you don’t want to miss it. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is the second book in the Soppranaturale Series. The story of Link and Ommily continues. As the two remaining Fae left they have come together and after competing successfully in The Gauntlet they are now part of The Guard.
The Guard is a group of people who are entrusted to protect The Soppranaturale Hotel from the evils and wraiths that are set on destroying this safe haven for supernatural beings.
This book sees Link and Ommily tested like never before and keep you gripped to see whether they can win in the end.
The characters were really well written and easy to follow. Its a great supernatural story that keeps you hooked.

The Crocodile Makes No Sound by N.L. Holmes is the second book in The Lord Hani Mysteries Book series. I recommend reading the first book in the series prior to this one. In this book Lord Hani has his tons on his plate, there are multiple situations going on which affect him all at once. His character is becoming more developed as the series progresses, and I am getting more interested in learning more about him. Also, I love the fact that this is set during the times of ancient Egypt. This takes this story in a very different direction than if it took place in more contemporary days. I look forward to reading more from this series and this author in the future.

Holmes – Review by Sheri Schrader
You have been an orphan and been shown love within the church and shown compassion will she be able to unmelt the cold heart and show love to a lost soul.
Catriona has lived her life in a sheltered convent but when she recieves to call to action will she be able to put aside the love she feels for a man she can’t have.
Liam is broken as one of the bastard sons of Finch he is trying to get them rest of his brothers to get him legitimately, so when he starts digging within his father’s finances will Catriona be able to find the missing piece to get the sadistic man Finch.
Kai and Liam were my favourite brothers within this series so far and I loved that they both get books, the chemistry between these two characters jumps off the page like all the stories so far. I love the way the story has arced through all four books but they are brilliantly enough to read as stand alone books also, but to be honest who would as they are brilliant and full of twists and turns can’t wait to read the next book, please please please Oz and Sasha would be appreciated.

The Guard by Ashley Pagano a fancy five-star read. This is number two in a Soppranaturale series and it is best to read them in order to get the most out of them. This was such a well-done paranormal story, it has so many fast-paced lines that hook you in and don’t let go. There is something for everyone in this series and this story, action and passion and romance, a story that will run you through the emotional wringer, but you will still love it. I don’t want to say too much, so I will just say you need this story!!

She’s No Cowgirl is a standalone novel within a series by Brooke May. It follows Hunter and Kennedy on their journey to finding each other.

When a girl literally runs into him down by the locker rooms after the first day of practice he is struck by their connection. Their chemistry.
Can Hunter and Kennedy develop a relationship? Should they even? What if Hunter finds out what Kennedy does? Who she is? She’s No Cowgirl is a super cute read!
