Light-hearted mystery featuring a young, spunky female investigator who isn’t afraid to stick her neck out. She can bake bread and decorate cakes then throw knives with accuracy. I found the storyline a good one and the network of characters a good solid group. It reminded me a lot of Miss Fischer’s Mysteries, but is appropriate for younger readers. I struggled a little bit with the writing style as there were disruptions of a “narrator,” that I didn’t quite understand. I have not yet read the first book in the series so it may be explained better there (I will have to read and find out!).

Family Secrets (Book 1 of The Whispering Pines Mystery) is an amazing mystery. From the first page, I am drawn as Jayne is traveling to Whispering Pines, Wisconsin, to clear out her Grandmother’s house. Little did she know, she would be entering into a town full of drama and secrets. Oh boy, the action is basically wherever she turns. There’s a dead body in her grandmother’s yard to a break-in. She meets a handsome guy, Tripp, who basically tells her the town doesn’t like outsiders. She’s treated like royalty because she’s the Original’s granddaughter. Jayne sees the attitudes of the town and it makes her mad that they treat Tripp this way. I can’t share anymore. You have to read this. It’s so thrilling and full of twists and turns and suspense. The character’s are incredible. Honey and Sugar running a sweet bakery. It fits so great. The towns people make me think of the weird people I have met in Boulder. They just fit the characteristics so well; weird and hippy chic with a hint of spooky. So worth the read, I can’t wait to dig into the rest of the series. I love Jayne and Meeka. Highly recommend.
Keeps you guessing right to the very end! I felt like I was investigating with Jayne O’Shea through each part of the story. The end is one I definitely didn’t see coming. Can’t wait to read the next book to see where the story goes. Truly enchanting.
No Way Out (Mafia Elite, book 1) by Amy McKinley – Review by Allyson Ware
I have never read a Mafia type or related book before. I never would have even considered it, but this drew my attention the minute I read the description. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. Liliana is not what you expect out of a Mafia boss’s daughter, she’s better. She’s who I want to be when I grow up. She’s confident, intelligent, and just downright sexy.
Then you meet Max, her bodyguard. There is something about him that you cannot help but trust from the first time you meet him. As you make your way through the book, you realize your instincts are correct about Max. If you’re like me, you end up falling for him; possibly harder than Liliana does. Trust me, there’s No Way Out of staying up all night to finish this book.

This was a fantastic book to read if you love romantic comedies. The main couple of characters are hilarious and full of wit and charm. This was a quick read for me because once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out what was going to happen with the two of them and their relationship. And the cast around them, mostly the cousins, were phenomenal. I was wishing that I had cousins like them. I thought the author did a great job with the writing and detail to make me imagine this was taking place in my hometown even though it wasn’t. She kept me interested until the very end. And she has my anticipation high for the next book in the series.

Code Name: Vulture: Dark Vampire Romance (The Order of the Condor Series Book 1) by Maya Daniels & Sylvia Black is a great collaboration between two brilliant authors. The book was interesting from start to finish and you really get caught up in the story. Although this isn’t necessarily the smoothest of collaborations that I have read the writing style of the two authors still seemed to work together. And the kinks could quite well be due to this being the start of a new series. The story really comes together and was great to read. I really liked Vulture. I was hooked by him the instant I started reading. I did have a little bit of a harder time connecting to Danielle as an individual character but I loved the connection between the two of them. I think this is a good start to a new series and I am looking forward to trying the next.

Family Secrets is the first book in the Whispering Pine Mystery series by Shawn McGuire. This is my first time reading anything by this author, but she has won me over already.
Whispering Pines sounds like something out of a fairytale. Jayne arrives back there after 16 years away. She has returned to sort out her grandparents’ property but gets so much more than she bargained for when she discovers a dead body in the garden. She shouldn’t get involved, but once a cop always a cop! I am already a huge fan of the cosy mystery genre, and the book didn’t disappoint. It has enough mystery and suspense to keep you turning the pages, but it’s also a really easy read. There are quite a few loose ends and unanswered questions, but I’m guessing we’ll get more answers in book 2!
I must say, this was a very happy and fun read to engage in upon reading! From the start to the main plot concept to the character introductions I was defiantly hooked. It was impossible not to get hooked in with the drama or the funny moments going on as the book progressed its plot!
The story of this book was so sweet and full of heart for sure. I loved the story as well as the characters. It was a fun and light hearted read for me to enjoy. I’m a country girl at heart so this book defiantly felt like home to be in more ways than one. I loved it! The story of city girl with big dream, doesn’t plan on finding the most amazing guy ever, Will it come down to having to make her choose one or the other perhaps? I think you will have to read this one to find out!
Johnny and Stella were for sure two different, but special characters. Johnny reminded me of my husband, Sweet, good soul, and good with his hands in more than one way maybe haha. Stella was a girl with her head on her shoulders well, but not prepared for what life can throw at her. She was fun to read and her alone gave me a lot of chuckles as I read. It was comical in a good way to read about her and Johnny and time together and the events they faced. It was a good and fun read for me!
The book was very enjoyable and as I have said gave a lot of heart and then some! I really enjoyed this first book in a series. I was very happy reading this and I will for sure be enjoying more from this wonderful author! I highly suggest you read it, you will for sure enjoy yourself as much as I did!

Deadly Words (Born Bad Book 1) by Meghan O’Flynn. Do not read this while in bed by yourself! This book was amazing and had me turning the pages way into the night.

She goes to college and becomes a Chiropractor with a house and all the perks of being a normal person.

This was my first time reading Bernadette Marie and I enjoyed the first book of her new series. Admittedly, I have a soft spot for second chance romances! I feel like she developed her characters well and presented them in a realistic way.
Craig and Rachel were each other’s first love. This is the story of how they get back to that love, what happened to them in the in between, and how they worked through the trauma of it. I appreciated the acknowledgement to mental health and how Rachel sought out help to deal with the loss of her brother and her own issues with depression.
All the characters in the coming books are introduced and I am looking forward to reading more about them and how they find love! Honestly, I just love when there is a group of people that are there for each other through thick and thin. I want them all to find their happy ever after ending!

This book is set slightly in the future in Warrentown. A baren place with very few residents and they are mostly the elderly.
One night the tavern gets a visit from a few militia members and that when things get stirred up. They get drunk and annoying and try to make a scene to spice up the boring evening.
The militia members get lost on the way home on the same road they drove to get to Warrentown. They are left battling each other and their surroundings to survive. As one member gets removed from the group he doesn’t realize it will forever change his life.
Raven Woman’s Tavern is the first book I have read from Laura Koerber but definitely will not be the last. Thanks for an Intriguing read.

Amy McKinley is my favorite author right now!! Everything she writes is just amazing. She has a way to write a story that is just relatable, steamy, and just gives you all the feels. No Way Out is a mafia romance between Max and Liliana, two opposing mafia families. Liliana, at the beginning, is a pawn in her father’s mafia ways, but Max eventually comes to her rescue. Max is a son of a mob boss, who was thought to have died. Both characters have been betrayed by their families, but find it among themselves to unite together, safeguard each other, and find true love through the craziness of their mafia lives. I cannot wait till this October when the next book comes out!!!

This is a nice story. I like the whole friendship among the guys. How they were always there for each other. That is my favorite thing about this story. Craig and Rachel have a love story over the years. They have a quick relationship but its a slower story in order to bring out all their aches and pains of the past and not being together. This is a wonderful first book of a new series.

This was a book that truly was a wonderful heart feel in more than one way! How could I not enjoy this book? Th writing really helped me connect to the story line as well as the characters, and not just in the sense of who they were but also for how they felt at given moments in the book. It was a good paced read, and was not long before I concluded it! All in all, a very good read to sit back and enjoy!
The book brought on different passions for me. For me, aside from the amazing connecting love story it gave. It gave me something else that anyone who knows me I have a strong sense of passion for, and that’s saving and protecting the endangered wild life. As well as that statement, yes I am a turtle lover so this book’s story line was close to my heart. I loved how the mentor and his well assistant really cared about the nesting turtles. I could see more than their passion for one another in the sense of protecting the sea turtles from danger was a priority for them. I really felt that, and it made it all more realistic for me. I loved how the author put a true issue in today’s world and applied it perfectly within the book!
Aside from the amazing story line with the sea turtles. I loved the chemistry and that passion that basically came like an ocean wave for Kyra and Dylan. Dylan, yes he was a bit older and he was the boss basically being the mentor. I am one who believes true love knows no age. Its just a number. I find not enough authors will write a story about that and I really loved how this amazing author did so with that as well! Kyra was also a typical female. We always seem to want the bad boy, but perhaps the good hearted nice guy can be the bad boy we want so badly and still provide all the things we want badly with a sense of sexiness’ basically as much as we would want and like. Needless to say I loved how realistic the love triangle was in this novel, and the sea turtles and saving the environment was defiantly a beautiful touch that only added to this wonderful amazing story!
Again, this was a must read for sure. I highly do recommend reading this book. As said it is a fast read. And the pace is a good steady amount. The word play and how the story line of the turtles and the love triangle intercept made it just more awesome and heart felt to read. I truly enjoyed it and I will be for sure reading more by this wonderful author. I look forward to more from them in the future!
Fast paced, action packed, super steamy and so much more! This book is everything i love about Paranormal Romances. I could not put this book down from the moment I picked it up. Extremely well written, the details in this book are really on another level and draw your imagination into the story along with the characters. Maya Daniels and Sylvia Black have set up perfectly for the next book, (so many questions) and I cant wait to continue reading.

This book took me by surprise, a beautifully written Rom Com with a bit of a twist. Lucie is such a likable character, and the fun chemistry between her and Max is a joy to read. A enjoyable light-hearted read with some humour and mystery thrown in. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good Romantic Comedy.

Kiss Me Before Flight is a Suspenseful Seduction World novel by Thia Finn. This is a wonderful second chance contemporary romance with mature characters, a captivating storyline, suspense, emotion, drama, angst, chemistry, tension, and even a touch of humour. Thia Finn has taken a secondary character from Samantha A. Cole’s “Trident Security” series and spun him a superb story of his own. I have not read any of the “Trident Security” series- but Thia Finn has definitely sparked my curiosity enough to add them to my TBR pile. Thia Finn always manages to weave an engrossing story that pulls me in and gets me fully invested in the characters and the outcome of their story. And here she not only created emotional story with some intense moments, but also managed to sprinkle in a little humour along the way, giving it some lighter scenes as well. When Callie finally finds the courage to leave her abusive marriage- her neighbour, Jane, enlists the help of her brother-in-law, who happens to be the pilot for Trident Security. With Conrad’s help Callie is whisked away—- annnnd then— no spoilers here, but what happens next makes for a really great read. Looking forward to seeing what Thia Finn does next!

“My memories. Ah, yes, they are fresh. Some of them never go away, swimming around below in the deep, dark of the abyss, like sharks, razor teeth arrayed, ready to blitz at the first smell of blood in the water.”
Stand Your Ground by A.J Ullman is a thought provoking crime thriller that had me engrossed right from the start. As expected from Mr. Ullman, this story encompasses and examines many facets- from law, to politics, morality, racism, ‘trial by media’, societal expectations- and so much more. A night that should have been cause for hope and even celebration turn into a nightmare for Cady Fox when she is faced with the unthinkable. But, standing her ground against sinister intent results in her life completely unravelling. Life as she knows it is about to change- and it can never be the same again. Accusations are laid at her feet, and tensions high with public outcry, leaves Cady no choice but to navigate the justice system- all while being targeted by the media and members of the outraged public. What happened that led to this situation, and how does it all play out? Well, this book really is worth the read to find out….
“Can you give me the details? Here’s the first question. Did you know him? And was that your bicycle on the court?” Actually, that was two questions, but I didn’t point that out. As a lawyer, I hate compound questions. I was riding my bicycle home, of course. But things are never as simple as they appear and telling Janney so would not help my cause. She didn’t get to be on homicide by being a dumb-ass. Once suspects start talking, homicide detectives make a bunch of notes and remember what was said. Then they chase down the facts and come back to you, bringing you the truth of your lie the way a dog waggles his tail when she brings back a bone you buried for her in the backyard.
Again, Mr. Ullman’s attention to detail and meticulousness gave this story so much authenticity, believability, intrigue, depth, and mystery. I always get so immersed in his stories, and this one was no exception- I had no intention of putting it down till I had finished the very last page. And I am happy to say that he definitely didn’t let me down- crafting a compelling read! So, if you love crime and investigation, very intriguing storylines, complex characters, depth, and realism- then this is definitely the book for you!

Forever Valentine is the follow up to the book Professor Valentine of Cassie and Diego’s story. The 2nd book picks up a year later as Cassie is in her 2nd year at uni to get her degree while Diego teaches at another school. Despite Diego’s ex wife and also the stress of Diego meeting Cassie’s parents for the first time, Cassie and Diego’s love for each other still burns strong. The story was good but I didn’t feel the connection with the characters like I was hoping in this story. Overall a good read if you enjoy contemporary romance books.

This was a good 4 star read. It did take me some time to get pulled into the story as I got to know the characters. Lucie is a hard worker and when she is offered a job after an interview, that had me LOL at times with the questions she meets her new boss Max. Max is a Prince unbeknownst to Lucie and he is looking for a key. Will Lucie be able to help Prince Max find what he is looking for?
Overall this was a read that had humor, steaminess and more. The characters grew on me and I loved them by the end. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

I absolutely loved this book! I loved the amount of suspense and romance it had. I wasn’t expecting that ending though! It absolutely shocked me. This book defiantly became one of my favorites.

This was a quick cute read. I liked the plot about being centered around the turtle preservation. I did not really connect with the characters in the story but that could be due to the brevity of the book. I did have a feeling about Jake from the start. Overall, it was a clear, clean plot and enjoyable.

Swallowed by a Secret was a fantastic read geared towards pre-teens. The story follows Rocky as he is moved suddenly to a new town where he has to enter a new school in the middle of the year all while having just lost his dad. Risa did a great job at describing the difficulty of being the new kid and the fear and anxiety kids have. Rocky also finds himself questioning how his dad actually died and enlists his new fiend Olive to help him. Trigger warning for parents, discussion of mental illnesses using this book but Risa does a great job at addressing it. As a child who lived with parents suffering from various mental illnesses and having moved, I would have loved this book. Great job.

Unsettled Scores is the second book in the DAG Team Series. The twists and turns of the plot line make this book a great read. The pages started to turn faster and faster the more I read the more I needed to see what was happening next. The characters breathe life into the story. Amy has had a strained relationship with her family members. She blames herself for the death of her sister. She is out for revenge but what does that look like with other family members. Can she maintain her relationships or will it hurt her in the long run? Will she choose love or revenge? I highly recommend this book to see what happens with Amy.
