This was a fantastic book. I found it completely entailed the teen relationship cycle. Angst over dating from previous relationships and how they affect your next ones to dealing with issues in your current relationships. Emme is struggling with the aftermath from her previous relationship with John, when she starts dating Brendon, the popular boy. Emme has many insecurities and you can see these come out throughout the stories. You may even feel them with a familiarity from your youth I did. The story is so well-done that you just continue watching Emme grow through the story as she matures through the insecurities and into the relationship. Brendon is a pretty amazing fellow. He’s down to Earth. He doesn’t see the girls falling over him. It is a really good story for Young Adults. I think it’s a wonderful story for all. Emme learned to appreciate what she had in front of her.

What did I just read? Honestly, I picked this short retelling of Cinderella up solely based upon how lovely the cover looked. I know, I know, don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but my goodness, this time it really worked out to my favor. My daughter and I had just watched the new Cinderella movie on Amazon Prime, and I was intrigued to discover yet another rendition, and couldn’t dismiss the urge to indulge in another fantasy.
I am very impressed by how well A.L. Morrow captivates their readers by drawing them in with similarities to the original story, and then expanding it into a whole new world and version of this folk tale. I loved how inclusive this was, no matter how unexpected. I especially enjoyed how Ashling turns out to be that strong, independent and courageous woman we have all come to know and love. I am very intrigued and excited to read the next installment in the Stone and Cinder series, as this short retelling leaves us wanting more, and more, and, well, babies are cute! Will certainly be not so patiently waiting for Ensnared: A Beauty and the Beast Retelling, especially given that Beauty and the Beast has been my all-time favorite forever! Well done, A.L. Morrow, the excitement is real.

This book was so well put together, from literally everything and anything that happened through out! I was very much entranced as if a vampire’s spell as I read through it, the things that happened and characters and how they came to be, it was amazing from start to finish! It was a great read, needless to say!
Donovan makes an appearance after his first sighting in the first novel. Vampire and lawyer. Still has sleek mesmerizing appearance that he brought on in the first novel. I defiantly saw character growth with him in more than one way than the first novel! Shirley and him are finally to get married. They were a power couple in the first novel so I really loved seeing them together and trying to live a good life. Drama seems to follow them and something happens that sets the plot of the book into motion!
Things go from happy getting married to a run for their lives and a fight for the future of their family literally. I loved both Donovan and Shirley as well that they stuck to their guns with what they believed and the book really shoed off to me, the importance of family, and how it is truly worth everything, despite any risks that may come from it!
To achieve what they believed they wanted, they really had to defy all odds! The book was rapid action and a lot of good heart felt moments. I seriously was rooting for this power couple to win and beat the tribunal basically at their own game! All in all, the book was a easy and fast paced read. One I could not put down. I was literally hooked from the beginning all the way to the end!
The book was amazing, and written perfectly. With every aspect I could literally think of possible. For me the character growth, especially with Donovan towards the end of the book, really got to my heart. I loved him and Shirly so much and they became even more likable in this amazing novel! If you enjoyed the first one, I truly feel you will love this one just as much! It truly has a spark that keeps going as you read through it, and its very impossible to put down! I highly recommend this book, well worth a read!

The Law is an Ass! (Donovan Trait Book 2) by Seelie Kay – Review by Lorrene Huisman
The God picks up right where book 1 finished which elated me! Let’s face it, I was going crazy needing to know what happened. I was blown out of my mind with how well I could visualize Elysium and Vanessa’s newly made friends. Um, I wonder if I can get a PK also?! Book 1 was steamy but book 2 fogged the windows. Fantastic job Hazel! I’m off to read book 3 because I can’t wait to see where this story goes.

I literally read The Don in one day. I don’t do that EVER lol. This book was such a good read. Fantastic storyline! Vanessa wants to save her brothers life. Interesting enough, the Don of the underworld moves into the neighborhood. Is it that simple though? Vanessa is my favorite 🙂 don’t get me started on the gods….LOVE them! Hazel knocked it out of the park with the first book! If you like gods, steamy love, and relatable characters, this is your book.

This is an exciting read that follows on with much the same awesomeness as the previous installments. I absolutely adore the heroine, Karina, she is both relatable and literally takes no prisoners.
In this installment we see Karina taking on some pretty horrendous accusations about her recent ex. Knowing that they cannot be true she jumps into action, determined to do anything she can to clear his name. As always though, things are never simple and Karina ends up knee-deep in more than she bargained for.
This is a fun read, as always Butler delivers with style.

I was so excited to see the newest instalment to this series and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest – I think this one may be my favourite of the whole series which is hard to say because I’ve loved them all. The action in this story kept me on the edge of seat – Vanessa is such a great character to read about – I really like her. There was a real attraction between Vanessa and her captor and I could definitely feel that coming through the story. The author definitely knows how to captivate me through her writing and this hasn’t wavered at all over the three books! I was also extremely excited that there is more to come from this series too!! I cannot wait!!

This book felt like a love letter, a love letter going back and forth between two eras, 1947 and the current time. Kat is a jazz singer who is just finishing a tour when she meets a stranger who gifts her with a locket. She finds a message in the locket and stumbles upon a portal that takes her back in time. Then the saga switches between the two eras and you fly on the magic carpet when the leading duo pull you into the world of jazz and everything vintage and retro. It is a beautiful read, I loved every bit of it. Beautiful romance . Hats off !

Wow. This book has me hooked from the introduction. I have never read a Trident Security book but after reading this book, I have to read the series. I felt like I was watching a movie reading this book, constantly wondering what’s next. Bodine’s character made my blood boil and my heart ached so badly for Callie. Definitely a great read!

Just lovely. Something Lost by Bernadette Marie is a beautiful, second chance romance! This isn’t my first by Bernadette Marie and as always, she delivers a well-written story with great flow. I just love her writing style and character development. This was a page-turner for me for sure.
A group of friends and teammates return home to mourn the loss of their high school coach. Rachel, the coach’s daughter is there and we begin to learn that she and one of the friends, Craig, have history. Is there too much history? Or can they rekindle love from the past?
I just loved this book. It was full of nostalgia, friendship, and romance. I felt the characters were relatable, helping me invest more in the story. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

Craig Turner and Rachel Diaz have come together again when Craig returns to help bury her father and his beloved coach. They had an intense romance in high school and thought they would be together for the long haul. With Rachel being a few years younger than Craig, she was left heartbroken when he graduated and went off to college. Maybe her father was being an overprotective father, but Coach Diaz forbade them from seeing one another and made them promise to keep their distance. The attraction and feelings couldn’t be ignored though. Now 10 years has passed and those intense feelings are coming back to life. They had kept their promise to Coach while he was alive and they are trying their hardest to keep that promise now that he is gone. Will they be able to build a friendship or will they cross that line and become something more?
I love second chance romances! These two were great together and I’m glad I picked up this book. Not only was this a second chance at romance, but it was a renewing of old friendships that was nice to read about. When we get busy living life we can tend to lose touch with those we were close with during our school days. Sparking up those old friendships and being able to pick up where you left off no matter how much time has passed is amazing.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Butler. Each Karina Cardinal Mystery keeps getting better. Butler knows how to keep her readers coming back and I can’t wait for the next installment.
Karina is our ever so daring woman. She will do anything she can to help the ones she cares about. When Mike, her ex, is being investigated she chooses to go to Silverthorne for help. The quote I chose for Karina is: “I bet you were popular with the ladies when they figured out you could dance.”
Rick has a soft spot for Karina as we’ve seen in the other books. He cares about her and only offers to help Mike so he can get her to agree on going on a date with him. Then he gets the scare of his life when he realizes that Karina is in the middle of a shootout. The quote I chose for Rick is: “Why don’t we go to your place? I’ll teach you the horizontal mambo.”
This book was incredible! It’s your classic wrong place wrong time scenario with so many twists and turns that leave you right on the edge of your seat! So we’ll written with a great flow and had me guessing to the end! I highly reccomend this one!!!

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler was a page turning mystery. Karina Cardinal receives a knock on her door that throws her world into turmoil. The FBI is looking for her ex boyfriend, Mike. Mike is accused of taking a bribe of $1.2 million, but Karina refuses to believe he is guilty. Karina begins to investigate on her own to prove Mike is innocent.

The deep emotional connection that this story touches on would be great for any YA read. And have the conversations that come up. High school and home life can get the best of any teen. When you throw in all the drama and heartache that comes with both! Most teens dwell on the bad things and take all the things said to heart. This story shows it is ok to make mistakes. But learning to trust your own heart in the process. This story is great for the younger kids to show them it is going to be ok in the end.

“The Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds #1)” by Robin Mahle and Elle Madison is a combination of the Disney Pixar movie, “Brave” mixed in with a little bit of Sarah J Maas’ (“A Crown of Wings and Fury” series).
Princess Rowan and her cousin Davin are arrested for trespassing and smuggling, held captive by the “barbarian” country that has been at war with their home of Lochlann, for years. Rowan is able to convince the Socairans to let Davin go free, but in exchange, she is to face a trial at the hands of the elder leaders of the surrounding communities. Accompanied to the Summit by Theo, a Socairan prince, Rowan anxiously awaits her fate- wondering if she will be subject to death. But as the journey goes forward and the Summit date draws near, Rowan and Theo begin to fall for each other even though both know that a relationship between the two rival clans would not be looked at favourably. As the Summit arrives, Rowan fears that she will be separated from Theo forever and Theo wonders if his influence will be enough to save Rowan’s life.
“Scarlet Princess” has nothing in its plotline that will be unexpected. Fans of this genre, and YA fantasy fans, will know exactly what is going to happen and how it will play out. That does not mean, of course, that you can’t enjoy the ride along the way.
Rowan is spunky and wry, unwilling to accept the fate dolled on upon her by the male leaders, every ounce the stereotypical young female role model. Sarcastic and brave, she is the very face of the protagonist we come to expect in a female-led YA fantasy series. Theo too, is the “well built, handsome and chiseled” prince whose love for Rowan is unexpected, and risky, but the two fall madly in love with each other anyway, after less than two weeks together.
The novel is the first in a series, and I adored Rowan enough that I am invested in seeing what happens next. “Scarlet Princess” is well-written, easy to read, and has great flow. The characters are completely charming and likable, and there is an instant bond between Rowan and the reader. I was invested in what her fate would be, and the ending provided the expected cliff-hanger that comes with a series of novels. “Scarlet Princess” is a light and fun fantasy read, and it will definitely appeal to fans of Sarah J Maas and authors of her ilk.

When it comes to KG Fletcher, I always pick up her books. She has not disappointed me so far. This book is a masterpiece. The plotline is engaging and full of adventure of a beautiful love story. The characters are beautiful, full of life, and easy to relate to. The story is about a young woman who is a jazz singer who is coming off a tour. She is approached by a stranger who gives her a gift. This gift is a locket. With this locket, there is a message and it has a portal that takes her through time. That is when the adventure begins. I recommend reading this book to get the joy of reading the adventurous love story for yourself.

Why We Don’t Die In Dream: Book One by Debbie Zello is a brilliant book that really does leave you wanting more! There are so many twists and turns in this book you won’t know which way you are going. The author well and truly captures your attention on page one and doesn’t let go. I loved the main character. His journey is such an interesting one and I really enjoyed how woven into the story he is. This is a fantastic book and I seriously cannot wait for book 2!

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie is such a powerful and interesting book. I was drawn to this book from the moment I read the description. As I started reading I found a book so compelling that I couldn’t put it down. It is quite a short read and yet the author manages to pack so much into. It has a depth about it that you don’t normally find in a book so short. I loved the story and I though the main character suited it perfectly. This isn’t the first book I have read by this author but it is definitely my favourite!

Kimberly Mullins brought to life an intriguing story. Emma is a strong female lead, and the plot is absolutely intriguing. The supporting characters are just as well-developed. The research regarding the time period was fantastic, and I could truly imagine myself within the pages. While cozy mystery isn’t quite my normal genre, I really enjoyed reading this book. My only struggle was with the interesting writing styles, but it didn’t detract from the story itself.

I really love the way Krysten Lindsay Hager makes me fall in love with young adult novels all over again every time I pick up one of her books. This book really captured the teen angst and emotions that we feel when we are traversing the world of dating. I especially love how she makes it relatable whether you are young or old, the emotions are the same and we often have the same difficulties determining the way to handle them. In Dating the IT Guy we get to see this play out very real and raw and in your face and I loved every moment of it. I was once again taken away to a time when life seemed so hard at the time but I know for a fact I would go back to the way things were, so simple and so minute in the grand scheme of things. I enjoyed this one and look forward to seeing what will come next form Ms. Hager.

The Bow: A Fated Mates Greek Myth Paranormal Romance (Her Three Immortals Book 3) by Hazel Storm 4 Star!!!!
Wow what more can I Say? This is the third book in tihs series I have read and oh boy I sure was not let down. I really have enjoyed this author’s take on a reverse harem. I find that the series is refreshing and unique. I have really enjoyed reading this series.
The characters are all very well written. I like how there is not just romance but a bit of drama too. Even though this is paranormal the characters have real life issues and this makes it so much better to read as it isn’t predictable and the reader can relate to the characters better. I cannot wait for more from this series.

I really enjoyed this take on a classic tale. It is beautifully written and changed to make the story more modern. The Cinderella in this tale isn’t rushing to meet the Prince. The Prince is happily married to another man. It is a beautiful mix of a classical fairy tale and a sci-fi twist with the nightmare creatures trying to take over. It is definately a great remake of a classic.
Ashling has the Cinderella life style. Her parents have passed away and she is left at the mercy of her step mother and step sisters, forced to become a slave in her own home. But that all changes when she spots things changing in their world. Their world which is protected from the outside by a dome. When things start entering her world from the outside she realises she needs to get help and she heads to the Palace.
Prince Callum has met and married the love of his life in Teague. The problem is the safety of his kingdom and the keeping of the protection of the dome relys on the blood of his heir. So now Callum needs to find someone who he can care for to become the mother of his child and to save the kingdom.
In true Cinderella fashion when the clock strikes midnight things start to change and this leads Prince Callum on a hunt for Ashling. Will he find her? Will she agree to mother his child?

All I knew going into this was that it was a fantasy romance based on the story of Cinderella that included monsters but boy was I surprised at what this story really held within its pages. This was a quick, fast paced story that I devoured really quickly! I’d definitely recommend it to an older crowd, as the first page or so of the book itself recommends, due to the sexual scenes being super spicy. The book is loosely based on Cinderella holding to her father passing away and leaving her with a horrid step mother and cruel step sisters, but also the going to the ball, and leaving a slipper behind after she flees into the night. There are added fantasy elements with the protective dome and monsters that I thought added a great new twist to the story. The characters and their relationships were developed well and modernized, original, and definitely not something you would find in your old school Cinderella story. This is a brand new refreshing take on a classic fairytale. There is no cliffhanger per say but it absolutely leaves you wanting to read more and will leave you looking forward to book two’s release. My only issue with this book honestly was the names! Callum and Ashling I didn’t have trouble with which was good due to the fact they are some of the main characters but Teague and Fionnuala and Bronagh ? I had trouble with those and every time I got to one of them it would pull me out of the story and I would have read a few paragraphs before I would be pulled back into only to stumble on one of them again. I ended up just calling Fionnuala “The Queen” for the whole book.

This was a story, a fairy tale really, that really played well with all my emotions. I felt so much when reading this. My heart was heavy through out the reading of this novel. I felt a lot, and I found this book was very well written with such a impact on my soul, it was one that when I finished it, I sat back and reflected on what I had just read, it gave me a feel into my own life, a thing that is healthy for all our souls to do.
La Llorona has always been a folk tale I have always had great interest in. The fear of the story, as well as the worry it brings, always intrigues me. Is it something to get into a mother’s mind to strike fear into her heart or or is it a folk tale to teach us to be afraid of what we do not know or understand? The story itself brings on heavy grief, and to me that was welcomed in truth. I had faced grief through out my life, but it is a part of life, and not something we should ignore. The story itself brought a lot on as I read through the story, there was a lot of aspects added here and there. It was very well written!
I loved how the story was a like a ocean with a crashing wave. From pain to grief to anger…there was much emotions felt on the pages as I read through this. I was left with a heavy heart by time I concluded it. This was a positive experience for sure. I loved how the author made the words and pages flow so easily. It was weaved together as if it was a perfectly constructed spider’s web. The story gave so much and in return I think it was meant to be a book that made us think, I know I certainly did!
I loved the writing skill of this beloved author. I was hooked truly. I had to sit and finish this book really in one sitting. I was entranced by the beauty of the story as well as the captivating words the pages brought to me. The author is truly gifted. I really loved it, and the author is needless to say, very talented in the story they had given to us, the readers. It was remarkable to read this in more ways than one! I think everyone would be benefited to read this story! I highly recommend reading this, in more ways than one!

Kayla and Tanner have undeniable chemistry. Their meet-cute in the coffee shop was funny and adorable at the same time. And what luck that the construction worker she was watching from her apartment every morning just so happened to be watching her too! I love that this story revolves around a single mother, a military wife/mother with a deployed husband, and everything that those two things entail. Kayla is working a job that she isn’t sure she loves; Tanner is working as a manager on the site rather than working with his own hands and getting a business ready for his brother-in-law when he comes home from Afghanistan, and Rad is still on his own personal “journey”. It made it extremely relatable and incredibly easy to read. Add in the intense steamy scenes and the budding romance between Kayla and Tanner and this book was amazing from start to finish. I love the relationship that was made between Kayla and Tanner’s sister and between the kids, but the ultimate heart-melting moment for me was between Kayla’s daughter and Tanner. This story was wonderful, and I am looking forward to reading more from Lara Ward Cosio. I suggest you do the same!
Whisper Creek is the seventh novel in the Logan McKenna series by Valerie Davisson.
Logan has accepted Ben’s marriage proposal. After a video goes viral, Logan decides to visit Oregon to clear her head as well as a consulting job. Where, she of course, finds a body.
Unfortunately, the prime suspects of the murder are friends of Logan’s.
The fact that their prime suspects were friends of Logan’s was a complete shock.
I really enjoyed this novel and I love this series. I get excited when I see that another novel has been released.
It has been great seeing the progressive of Logan’s character and the mysteries that she solves. Even the lengths she will go.
