The Moon That Fell from HeavenThe Moon That Fell from Heaven by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Moon That Fell from Heaven by N.L. Holmes is an historical story, a mystery that is full of rich and vibrant historical details. The passion and vivid descriptions of a time from long ago brought to life by NL’s loving passion. I enjoy learning just that little bit of the history with each story NL shares.
The Moon That Fell from Heaven is a slow cosy read even though there is a lot going on, that transports the reader to a different time and world and way of life. It is a story where court politics, intrigue, lies, secrets, murder, danger, threating war, espionage, passion and proving oneself has been woven together to give us an exciting read and the pages turning.

This suspenseful tale sees our characters having to deal with scepticism, malice, and much much more.

Ehli-nikkalu has a kind heart and it is so easy to feel for her, but she has much to prove to those who see her has much lesser than them. She finds herself between a rock and a hard place when she learns of a secret but decide to take matters into their own hands to try to keep the kingdom from war and threats.
If you like a story where fiction meets historical mystery, then give this one a shot.

Daring Ceri (True Platinum #6)Daring Ceri by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daring Ceri is an Enemies to Lovers Rock Star Romance story and the sixth book in True Platinum series. Each book is centred on a different couple but can be read as standalones. However, I encourage you to start at the beginning.
It is easy to like and become invested in Morgana’s characters and the chemistry between them is most certainly sizzling.
Alex is a rock star bad boy and life of the party well he was once upon a time. He is also the one that broke her heart and crushed her spirit. Now that their paths have crossed again, he just needs to show her he has changed.
It took a long time for Ceri to get over the one she thought would be forever but was the one who crushed her spirit and broke her. Now fate is messing with her by putting them in the same place at the same time. She won’t fall for that twice.
Daring Ceri is also a forced proximity steamy second chance tale that is full of emotions, angst, trust issues, pain, hurt, tension, frustrations, drama and much more to keep the pages turning.
I really enjoyed the push-pull between these characters and the will they won’t they.
You will need to read it to find out what happens.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the intensity and suspense of this story. Right from the beginning, I was pulled in. I have never read a romantic suspense that started with such an intense scene as a direct punch to the face. The female protagonists are both strong women just trying to do the right thing. The male protagonist is just trying to help. I found the writing to be perfect for a romantic suspense. I love how the author has just the right words to give you the feel of a thriller/suspense. You just feel the edge to the story as you try to figure out the creep and root for the romance. I enjoyed the story and really recommend the story/series to romantic suspense lovers out there.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Beautiful Dangerous is another book in the intriguing series Philly Heat. There are twists and turns that you just do not see coming in this forced proximity tale. Becky has cleverly woven yet another engaging mystery full of thrills into a tale that is compelling and engrossing.
With secrets, lies, threats, danger and a stalker, just to name a few, it’s so easy to get lost in and the pages keep on turning. Add in romance, drama, fear and suspense what more do you need.
Becky’s narrative is told through different POV’s which I really enjoy in a story because we learn so much more about the characters this way. The characters are fully realised, complex and you can’t help but become invested in them and feel that you are in on the journey with them.
Doyle is determined that nothing will happen to her but with her unstable stalker on the lose nothing is guaranteed.
Hannah just wants her life back but with someone out there lurking in the shadows her life will never be the same again.
The chemistry between Hannah and Doyle is undeniable and I really, really liked them.
How far would you go to save the one you love?

Beautiful Dangerous is an entertaining romantic suspense novel, that I recommend you read if you love this genre.

The spotlights stole her heart once. Now they’re stealing her future — and she’s not leaving without a fight.

Alex

Who knew a drunken ceremony in Fiji could be legally binding? Not me, but I’m not complaining.

I couldn’t figure out how to make her give me a second chance, how to prove I’ve changed from the jerk who dumped her years ago. Now I have my chance to show her the man I’ve become — and this time, the finale will be just the start.

Ceri

I’m engaged. I’ve moved on. Yet destiny drops the man who broke my heart back into my life with no warning.

Now the rock god who ditched me for fame is blackmailing me into a three-month tour that will wreck everything I’ve worked for.

I know better. Some days, I hate him. But despite our history, his rhythm still calls to me.

I won’t be another conquest. If he thinks I’ll surrender to the same fantasy that ruined me before, he’s wrong. But refusing him could mean losing it all.

Daring Ceri is a steamy enemies-to-lovers rock star romance following two childhood sweethearts and an eight-year-old accidental marriage.

For readers who love forced proximity, second chance love, and the kind of romance that never fades.

Ehli-nikkalu, eldest daughter of the Hittite emperor, is married to a mere vassal of her father. But despite her status, her foreignness and inability to produce an heir drive a wedge between her and the court that surrounds her. When her secretary is mysteriously murdered while carrying the emperor a message that would indict the loyalty of his vassal, Ehli-nikkalu adopts the dead man’s orphaned children out of a guilty sense of responsibility.

A young cousin she has never met becomes a pretender to the throne and mobilizes roving armies of the poor and dispossessed, which causes the priority of her loyalties to become even more suspect. However, Ehli-nikkalu discovers a terrible secret that could destabilize the present regime if the pretender ever learns of it.

With the help of a kindly scribe, her brave young ward, and an embittered former soldier trapped in debt and self-doubt, Ehli-nikkalu sets out to save the kingdom and prove herself to her father. And along the way, she learns something about love.

Alice Snyder knows her reputation—and if she didn’t, Buckeye Falls loves to remind her. She may come from the town’s First Family, but that doesn’t mean she plays by the rules. After a decade of traveling and going to school, she’s back home and ready to settle down, or at least relax for a while. The trouble is, her neighbors are determined to find her a husband. She needs a way to get them off her back…

When James Gibson, a divorced artist, flees New York for the peace of small-town Ohio, he’s excited to get painting again. The only trouble is, he’s completely blocked. Despite his best efforts, his collection of canvases are blank and he’s at a career crossroads. A chance meeting with the mayor’s sister throws James’s routine off balance, and he’s eager to spend more time with this quirky spitfire.

And Alice might have the solution to both their problems…

Fake Date.

She gets the Nosey Nellies off her back, and James gets time with a woman who inspires him both inside and outside the studio.

Just a few weeks of pretending, and they’ll move on. Simple, right? The trouble is the more time they spend together, the realer their relationship feels. The laughter, the stolen kisses—it all starts to feel like more.

Can these two be honest with each other and find their happily-ever-after, or are they doomed for a real breakup?

Libby Kay’s FAKING THE FALL redeems Buckeye Falls’s spinster troublemaker with a fake relationship romance filled with sweet small town vibes.  FAKING THE FALL will bring to mind amazing books like Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams and Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey. But best of all, it returns readers to the small Ohio town and the familiar characters from the previous Buckeye Falls books. All the zany, overbearing, and well-meaning ones! So sit back and grab FAKING THE FALL for the latest roller-coaster romance by Libby Kay.

Gumshoe Goes to a Quinceanera (Gumshoe Mysteries Book #2) by Laura Hawks – Review by Angela Hayes

Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 2)Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera by Laura Hawks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Gumshoe Goes to A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series by Laura Hawks. Having read and enjoyed several of Ms. Hawks’ books previously, there was no question that I would be passing this by when it released, as I knew it would be a fun read.
It is a YA cozy mystery, with paranormal elements, humour, banter, action, adventure, whimsy, secrets, corruption, friendship, and intrigue. The story was well woven, suspenseful, and entertaining- and even though it was a little predictable in parts and is targeted towards younger readers- I still really enjoyed it.
The characters are cleverly crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. The story is original, with a great pace and a smooth flow, making for an easy read.
As I have said before, Ms. Hawks always manages to intrigue me with her clever storylines, and this story was no different. I loved meeting Mia in the first book, and especially Gumshoe- who really steals the show, every time. So I was looking forward to catching up with them again and enjoyed following them along on this second adventure. Now I am forward to seeing what they get up to next.
Well worth the read!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Laura Hawks!

This was my first read by this author and the book was okay. The plot had a strong storyline but I didn’t think it was executed well. I was distracted by there being a lot of exclamation points in places I felt they didn’t belong. The dialogue between the characters also seemed a little immature and like the author wanted certain moments to have a high climax but it came off as unrealistic. I’ll read the next book to see if it gets better.

This would be a cute read-aloud for families as well as a good chapter book for readers venturing into reading on their own. It’s filled with mystery and humor and a quick read.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan (A Revenant Novel)The Calamities of Camden Callahan by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brittany Tucker’s “The Calamities of Camden Callahan” is an emotional read that takes you on a journey through a world full of pirates, mad scientists, and individuals with extraordinary powers. It’s a story that effortlessly blends the elements of fantasy and reality, with death and rebirth as recurring themes that keep you on the edge of your seat. Camden Callahan (Cam) and Annie quickly become real and relatable individuals.
You can’t help but get emotionally invested in their fates, rooting for them through every twist and turn of their adventure. Some scenes in the book are undeniably difficult to read because they paint a vivid picture of the cruelty that people are capable of. I thoroughly enjoyed Brittany Tucker’s latest work. Her storytelling prowess shines brightly in this tale of adventure, adversity, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chasing Cheer is the first book in the Magical Emerald Hollow series. Holly Claus is out collecting cheer and lands in a small town in Oregon. Ash Hayes is trying to bring more people to the same small town and trying to get everyone more spirited. When the two meet, will the holiday sparks fly?
If you enjoy a light-hearted romance or the occasional holiday Hallmark movie this book will hit all the right buttons. The story is light and full of holiday cheer. I like that the characters are looking for something other than a romance but still find one. Holly is cute and determined to do an excellent job to help the North Pole. She works under the pressure of her father’s shadow and wants to show she is up for the job. Ash is trying to get his business bustling and looking at all the options to bring more tourism business. I liked both the characters and the story. I have been in the mood for some lighter reading fare, and this hit the mark. Usually, I do not read holiday stories until closer to the holidays, but this gave me a nice break from the summer heat. I look forward to what the rest of the series brings. When I need more magic, I will look for something by this author.

Shadows Fall is the third book in the series. I would definitely recommend reading them in order so you get a full understanding of what is happening. However, I didn’t do this and was still able to figure it all out and enjoy the story. This is a great YA fantasy story that is imaginative and well written. You are pulled straight into the story with ease and I could not wait to see what was going to happen.
The characters fit really well with the story. They were original and refreshing and I connected with them immediately. This is a new author to me and I can say for sure that the first thing I will be doing is going back to read the other books in the series.

This book was completely out of my norm; however, I really did enjoy it. McCarthy is NOT KIDDING when he says it’s a “crash course on nuclear weapons.” But don’t let that intimidate you…this was very easy to read and understand and it moves fairly quickly so you don’t lose interest. On a deeper level, the book does look at moral issues and there is some discussion there. If you are interested in nuclear history, politics, war, etc. I would definitely recommend this book.

I struggled a little in the beginning. I found the first chapter or two of this book hard to gel with what the author was describing and to visualise the story, but once things clicked I was hooked and needed to see what happened. It may have made more sense if I had read the first two in the series, although once past the start the book is fine as a stand alone. <br />We follow Rose (chief of the Shadwmaker Clan) and the magic wielders as the shadows return magic to the world. Not only is the struggle with the wielderes but also with the populace as a whole. She hunts for those from her past to help find peace in the present.<br />King Micah and the war in the South as Roses anchor has his own battles to wage that have little to do with the war.<br />The world building, both the physical realm and the shadow world are linked and described in depth, the characters all continue to grow and evolve as the world around them changes.<br />Avery well written book that I thoroughly enjoyed once I was further than the third chapter.<br />I am ready for more from this author. If you like in depth fantasy and journeys this is the book for you .<br />

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging festive contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Holly Claus visits the small town of Emerald Hollow to discover why ‘Christmas Cheer’ is so abundant there. Holly travels around the world collecting ‘Cheer’ which then powers the North Pole and its dream making operations, but however efficient she is she always feels that she’s not as good as her father was. Ash Hayes is working to build up his tourism business at The Emerald House and enters the town in a Hallmark competition for ‘Best Small Town Christmas Faire’. His Mum ran away from the town as a child, and he’s keen to make the town a desirable destination again. Sparks fly when Holly and Ash meet, but neither of them are looking for love, and she’s got a job to do and he definitely does not want a relationship with someone who’s going to leave. Meanwhile, Holly’s arrival sets in motion a change in Holly’s Cheer magic that upend everything at the North Pole, so Holly must find out what is causing all the Cheer in the town or Christmas may be at risk. In this town full of Cheer it’s magic may intervene in Ash and Holly’s relationship and maybe they will find love. This was a lovely heartwarming festive romance with likeable and relatable characters and a wonderful setting, both of which was brought to life by the descriptive narrative. The story was full of Christmas magic and it has left me feeling full of festive Cheer!

The Truth About Myths (The Winemakers)The Truth About Myths by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to this third novel and I was not disappointed. I was once again captivated by the authors wonderful writing style and transported back in time, due to the descriptive narrative and added historical details, all of which made me feel immersed in the era and the story. The storyline follows Princess Isabel de Orleans who does her duty for her brother the King and for Portugal, and so travels to Spain to help with a diplomatic crisis. Accompanying Isabel is her brothers best friend, the charming but rakish Henrique, Viscount Penafiel. Henrique believes Isabel’s morals are outdated, and she thinks his philandering ways are shocking, but soon discovers that behind his facade he is a caring man. Their mutual attraction turns to lust, but the sister of Henrique’s best friend and a Princess should be out of his reach.

Once in Spain they meet Alfonso who is a king without a throne and soon the Bourbon is showing great interest in Isabel, threatening Portugal’s independence. This results in Henrique having to take drastic measures to save not only his country but Isabel, and their love. I loved this historical romance set during the 19th-century amongst the opulent monarchy of the time. The story is full of drama, romance, passion, love and lust, and also patriotism. The unexpected plot twists kept me hooked throughout and I was kept happily turning the pages. I loved the main characters, and the chemistry between Isabel and Henrique sizzled off the page leading to some steamy scenes. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop and I felt engaged with them both due to the dual POV storyline. An enjoyable and engaging read, and one which I recommend.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan (A Revenant Novel)The Calamities of Camden Callahan by Brittany Tucker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Camden has been running from his true identity since he was a young boy. Before his mother dies, she entrusts him to a pirate to save him from a fate worse than death. However, death comes knocking in the form of a Revenant (a person who has died but comes back with elemental powers) attack on his boat. Even though he should have died, he finds himself awakened as none other than a Revenant with fire powers and his captain and friends missing. His search brings him into a partnership that needs him to claim his true identity. Can he find his captain and friends before his past catches up to him? Will he be able to turn an acquaintance into a partner before it’s too late?

This was my first time reading this author and I truly enjoyed reading this book. I loved getting to know Camden and his mates, as well as his newfound friends. This wasn’t at all what I was expecting as I got deeper into the book. I did like the justice that was served and the opening for more books in this series. The fact that there is room for character growth is what will bring me back to read the next book. I want to see the fallout continue for the people pulling the strings, per se. Overall, I felt that it was very well written and well thought out.

I loved reading this incredibly different story! It is always exciting to read a book and it’s new and different…and the execution is different! It’s amazing to compare this to music.  I love music but there’s so many ways to make music that is great to a genre of people! Loved listening to the fun voice sounds as well.  Looking forward to what comes next from the author!

Another great kids book by this author. I really love how this author is able to bring the characters to life and help teach kids and build their imagination. I really like how the author is able to create a vivid world and broaden children’s imaginations and teaching them at the same time. I really wish that my kids were young enough to read these and I would definitely recommend these books to anyone with small children.
