My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really cute book! I liked the themes involved, about patience and perservence and how to work at something to achieve goals. It had a really good story for a short children’s novel. My daughter liked the pictures of this one, but she’s only 1 so she didn’t understand the meaning of it or what the author’s point was. I can’t wait to read this one to her or let her read it herself when she gets older!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was super intense and way out of my normal field but I thought with fall finally arriving I would try a thriller for a change of pace. This book was full of drama, suspense, amazing characters and so much more that I found it difficult to put it down. The word flow was absolutely perfect, the plot was intense and had me on the edge of my seat, and the book as a whole was just simply amazing. So if you want a new thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat then definitely pick this one up today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this book since I hadn’t read the previous two but it really read as a pretty good stand alone. While I’m sure that I would have gotten some references more efficiently had I read the previous books in the series, I’m glad I started late because now I have more exciting books to read. This book had everything that I love in a good romance from spice, mystery, suspense, tension, and of course romance. I just simply couldn’t put it down and had finished the whole thing before I knew it. So if you’re looking for a good quick romance make sure to look this one up today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was truly an amazing addition to this series. Like the previous books this one could be read as a stand alone but they’re all so good why not read them all. This book was definitely full of intrigue, action, danger, amazing characters and more. This installment really tied up a lot of loose ends for me and brought the series together in a lot of ways. I personally can’t wait to see what this amazing author and her wonderful characters bring us next.

Moby Plays the Flute was a great story that helps teach the Importance in perseverance. I loved that while the story was short, it spanned a longer time frame and showed that while feeling defeated, Moby never gave up. I loved the artwork of this book and I am beyond impressed by this new to me author and illustrator. I’m certain my children are going to add this book to their regular book requests.

Moby is just a regular girl who didn’t like attention. But she wanted to be a good student, but it was hard for her. She wanted to be successful, so she could be happy. But she was miserable. UNTIL, her dad gave her the best gift – a flute! But, she couldn’t get it to work. She thought it was broken. Her dad told her to keep trying. But she put it away and didn’t think of it again until the next year. She finally got it to play when she found a note from her dad inside! From then on, she made beautiful music and learned to believe in herself and to never give up!

This book is one of those books that is all about the characters. The have a great connection that is believable from the moment you start reading. Their relationship was great to watch develop and to see how they changed throughout the course of the story. They were a perfect match for each other.

This is a fun and entertaining romance that is easy to read and very easy to enjoy. I found this to be one of those books that you get swept up in and read in one sitting. I was rooting for the characters and wanted to see how things would work out in the end.
This is a new author to me and I enjoyed getting to know her writing style. She has created a book that has the right amount of romance mixed with the right amount of emotion. The book flowed well and I was caught up in the story from the moment I started reading. This was a great story and I look forward to discovering more of her work.

5/5 Stars

Fractured World: Courage in the Apocalypse Collection

This is the first book collection I’ve read like this. Each story is different. Each author is amazing. I will be looking forward to the next collection. Babysitter of the Apocalypse by Courtney Konstantin was the story that stuck out the most.

Vicki is left by herself. Zombies are everywhere and there’s not a safe place left. Her neighbor drops off her kids one day and never returns. Now Vicki is left with two kids. The quote I chose for Vicki is: “Ok Gabby, today is the day we talked about. We’re leaving today. There’s too many bad people in the building now.”

Highly recommended for Sci-fi Action lovers.

I enjoyed reading this romance book. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her ability to pull me into her stories with her writing skills. This book is no different. The characters pull you into the story and make you feel as if you are part of their world. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. It is fast paced and hard to put down. I enjoyed the growth of the characters as well as the plot throughout the story. A romance story where competing could be more important than love. What will happen between Tori and Cord? I enjoyed them as characters, they made the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I enjoyed reading this story. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life and give a new meaning to twist and turns. I enjoyed the growth of the plot and the action that made it hard to put down. A fast paced story that is entertaining to read. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the first word. The characters are connectable and kept me coming back for more. Bax is a great character. He is strong and I enjoyed his determination. He is my favorite of the story. This is a story you don’t want to miss for sure. A great story that filled my afternoon with suspense and edge sitting mystery. I highly recommend this book.

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook

By Manda Mellett 

5 stars

 

This was a phenomenal audio book! There was just so much going on in this story that I couldn’t stop listening  but also didn’t want to listen for fear of what was going to happen next! I actually really didn’t want this story to end!! The authors writing was just outstanding from beginning to end I was completely hooked. The action was great, the emotion, the danger, the romance, everything was just perfect and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
Rock and Becca were amazing characters and with so many twists and turns in their story I could hardly keep up but I loved the ride that they took me on with their story.
Along with the amazing writing the narration of the story was just amazing – both narrators completely brought Rock and Becca’s story to life. Absolutely fantastic audio book and one that I highly recommend.

The Prisoner of Paradise (Painted Souls, #1)The Prisoner of Paradise by Rob Samborn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel is best described, in my opinion, as interesting. The plot is not at all what I originally anticipated, but it did not disappoint. The anticipation truly kept me on edge until the very end. The only complaint I have about this book is that I could not connect with the characters. Nick is a very determined but selfish man, married to Julia who is independent yet selfless. I have no idea how these two got married and have such an amazing connection, but if Nick was my husband I would divorce him in a split second after the trip he put Julia through.

Aside from the characters, I did quite enjoy the plot. It was intense and left me guessing until the end. If you enjoy thrillers, I would recommend picking up this novel. Just because I did not connect with the characters does not mean you won’t!

This was a really nice short read. I’ve read a few books by this author and I love the characters that she creates. They are always relatable and great to read about. I really liked Jules and Mitchel, there was a great chemistry between them – although I will admit it took me a little time to warm up to Jules. The story was quite short and I definitely felt like it could be a little longer and it did feel rushed in parts but overall I still really liked it and would certainly recommend it to others, especially if you’re looking for a short read.

Emma (Notebook Mysteries, #1)Emma by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a lovely and endearing story and one that I really enjoyed. The author transported me back in time with her beautiful writing and descriptive language. Emma is a great character to read about, so inquisitive for her age. I enjoyed reading about her. The author really does have a wonderful writing style that keeps you engaged the whole way through the book. The characters were well thought out and I think this was really evident with Emma’s character, she was so much more than just your average 16 year old from that time period. She was really refreshing to read about and I loved that about her.
I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, she might be little, but she has a black belt and will punch you out. I loved the bar scene where she knocked out Bryce. Though, my favorite was the accidental punch to Hunter towards the end. Georgia is an absolute pistol that will take you by surprise. She is just trying to run her business and save the animal shelter. Hunter just happens to be part of the crappy family that evicted them from the location where the shelter used to be. I laughed so hard while reading this book. It is definitely a love/hate relationship at the start. They grow on each other as the chemistry starts to perk. It was a delight to read and watch their relationship grow. The struggle is real, people. Love isn’t perfect. The tone and flow of the story is just right. The characters were perfect. They were so relatable. Overall, a romantic comedy to love.

Oh my goodness, this is the best! Cord & Tori have the cutest chemistry. Tori has wanted to be a bronc rider since she was a young child. She is going to finally get the chance. Cord is the son of a family friend that comes to stay at Tori’s parents house. Oh, but the best part, he’s her competitor. She’s irritated and he just get’s under her skin. Hear that sizzle….the sound of a romance. Tori is an independent little spitfire that’s going to prove she can do what men can. The characters are fantastic. They are so relatable. I want to visit this town. The drama and romance make really feel like a cowboy town. The author has the feel just writing in the writing of the cowboy town. Perfect romance that’s a quick, enjoyable read. The ending will get you!!!

Hunter just wants to prove he’s more than a cowboy. He’s not just a rancher. I loved the chemistry between them. The story flows well. The drama and romance are perfect. This is a quick romance that is quite entertaining.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really loved the story of Cord and Tori. The author does an amazing job with the characters. The story is engaging and entertaining. I love Tori, she is an amazingly strong female lead and I love her determination to make a change.
She wants to join the male dominated world of bronc riding. She wants to compete with the best and she knows she has what it takes.
However it isn’t a female friendly sport and people have always told her that she would never be able to compete in such a male dominated sport.
Now she was going to prove them all wrong and pave the way for women to participate in this sport.
She will come up against some strong competition for this buckle including the current champ Cord.

Cord is currently doing well on the rodeo circuit and doesn’t see that changing until he sees his fellow competitor Tori. When Tori isn’t swayed by his charms at first Cord doesn’t know how to deal with such a strong willed and determined female but slowly he starts to break down the strong willed exterior to see the woman underneath.
Tori won’t make it easy for him though and with her main focus being on winning the rodeo and proving her friends and family wrong she can’t allow herself to be distracted by a handsome talented cowboy.

I really enjoyed seeing this relationship grow and bloom as they both learn to understand and respect the other person for their abilities and as friendship changes to something more can they both keep their head to focus on winning?

Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the MindEuphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Euphoric Wonderland is an engaging and transporting collection of poetry. It’s beautifully presented with decoratively coloured pages that are a welcome change to the usual white on black.

The poems address a variety of topics – some charting the poet’s personal journey and highlighting his influences (much is said on the topic of The Beatles…) and others more abstract. There’s a beautiful and considered use of language in many and they flow – you can tell they’re being spoken out loud.

My favourites include Schumann or Human You Wish That We Knew Him, Carnation Formation For Our Admiration and A Shape Escaped, No Need for Breaks. They really captured my imagination and I enjoyed reading them!

This book gets four stars from me, and I would love to read more from this poet. Euphoric Wonderland is certainly “An Eclectic Collection” – I’d really like to read something with a clearer narrative or thematic thread running through it to draw me from one poem to the next. But the poems themselves are fantastic, and the collection is a great demonstration of the author’s talents!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moby Plays the Flute is a gorgeous picture book. I love the illustration style, with loads of fun details meaning you can spend ages totally absorbed in exploring the pictures. The story is positive and will speak to children and adults alike.

I was drawn to this book as a music teacher – I love stories about music. This doesn’t disappoint, and I think it would be a great book to read with a child who is starting to learn an instrument to help them to prepare for the patience and perseverance they will need, and get excited about learning and playing their instrument!

This is also a good book to read with a child when a parent has to go away for a long time. Moby misses her dad, and he misses her but he’s still there for her even when he’s far away.

This book gets five stars from me! A wonderfully enjoyable book to read, and a good way to explore the importance of persevering when learning something new!

Notebook Mysteries Haunted ChristmasNotebook Mysteries Haunted Christmas by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Two of my favorite things are: the holidays and the supernatural. So, of course, I love Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and I love this book. Historical fiction with a twist of mystery and suspense, this book is just as good as the others in this series. Emma has been one of my favorite lead characters since I picked up the first book. This book did not last long enough for my taste, but, they never do. I would suggest reading the previous books in this series – only because they are fabulous, and it will be worth your time. However, if you are looking for a story that will scoop you up and drop you into the 19th century, you could read this as a standalone, as well, and be just fine. This book could be a thousand pages long, and I would probably still complain it wasn’t long enough. Highly recommend!

This was an intriguing quick shirt story and the difficulties of dating during a time when not everyone is human.

For 15 pages it gave quite a bit of character development and the ending made me wanting more. Not usually a fan of short stories, but this was deep and I really enjoyed it.

My Bronc Riding Cowgirl gives us the story of Cord, an up and coming rider in the rodeo world, and Tori, a fiercely independent women setting her sights on her own bronc riding dream and to follow in her father’s footsteps. Cord comes to stay with the family and is immediately drawn to Tori. She, however, is not swayed by his charm and only has her mind set on shocking her family and home town crowd in her debut in bronc riding. Cord slowly begins to break through Tori’s strong-willed barrier and the two ignite under the rodeo lights. This was a great read and a setting I don’t often get to experience in books. The characters were lovely and fun to get to know. I loved that Cord was comfortable with a strong female and that Tori was able to relax and show a softer side with Cord. Although this is part of a series, this can definitely be read as a standalone.

This book will keep you captivated from the very first word, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. I so did not pick one particular twist that’s for sure but I don’t want to give anything away so I’ll zip my lip on that!

I have said it before and I will say it again, this wonderful author never ever disappoints and this book is yet another example of her fantastic writing. The lead characters Cord and Tori are truly wonderful and they captured me right from the start. Cord is a popular Bronc rider on the rodeo circuit who is doing really well when along comes Tori a strong willed woman and fellow competitor. She isn’t interested in the hype surrounding him so a smooth start is definitely not on the cards. This book can be read as a stand alone but I know I am definitely looking forward to reading more in this super fun series and I will definitely be going back to read them all from the series start. The side characters have me intrigued and I want to know more about them as well.
