Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups Series) by Sylvie Stewart and Marika Ray – Review by M Policicchio

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups #3)Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is wonderful, hilarious, fantastic!! These authors hit us with another tale of love the 2nd time around. Having characters in their forties is super relatable. We can’t all be 20-somethings anymore. 😁

Chloe is still grieving the husband she lost to cancer but is ready to reclaim her life. Being 42 isn’t old. When Chloe kisses a stranger in a bar, she knows it could never be more than that random stupid moment.

Nikolai is a dedicated goalie facing the end of his career. He is embroiled in a nasty custody battle for his young daughter. Nikolai also supports his family back at home. He has no time for relationships, especially if they would put his custody in danger. Not even for that raven-haired beauty he kissed in the bar. When she turns up unexpectedly at his coach’s house, Nikolai must find a way to avoid the biggest distraction he has ever met.

When Chloe makes an offer to help Nikolai out as a temporary nanny to help his custody battle, Nikolai refuses. When the professional nanny he found doesn’t work, Nikolai is stuck and asks Chloe to help. After some initial flirting, Nikolai and Chloe agree to keep it platonic and be friends. That only worked for so long. They gave into the heat, the sparks, the chemistry between them.

Nikolai and Chloe have some hurdles to overcome but the biggest ones seem to be themselves. They just can’t believe that they deserve to be loved and/or happy. Will they figure it out??

Loving this series!!

A Tale of Two Crushes by Cori Cooper – Review by M Policicchio

A Tale of Two CrushesA Tale of Two Crushes by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A sweet, YA tale of the new girl getting caught in a difficult situation. Holland just moved to Prescott. It is the first day of school and she meets a dream. He is tall, extremely attractive and super nice. Holland crushes hard on Asher immediately. A couple of days later after having a fight with her locker, Chandler helps Holland out and teaches her how to open the stubborn metal box. Chandler is tall, Hollywood handsome, cocky and for some reason interested in her.

After Chandler invites Holland to a family picnic, she discovers that Chandler and Asher are fraternal twins that have been competing against each other for years. Holland is totally crushing on both brothers but doesn’t want to be just another casualty in the longline of competitions between the Whittaker twins. After a disastrous event, Holland and the twins come to an agreement that she will go out on three dates with each twin and then they would get together to decide the next steps.

The first date with Asher was a perfect wreck with stuff like their picnic getting flooded, their car getting towed, and a lost phone. The first date with Chandler was nice…but he ordered a rare steak for her without asking, paid attention to the scores on his phone during dinner, and was more focused on him than her. The second date with Chandler almost happened but didn’t. Then Holland hd some serious family stuff going on so the dates got postponed.

Holland does figure out which twin is better for her. But I will let you read the book to find out. This author writes sweet, adorable tales of growing up. This is another one.

Unmasking a Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Shannen Kern

Unmasking A Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Book 3)Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Match Made in Montana series, and it is just as wonderful as the previous books! Although I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series, you can definitely read this as a standalone without any confusion at all. Our two main characters, Joe and Abby, are incredibly well-developed. The palpable tension between them creates a compelling love/hate dynamic that kept me engaged to the very last page. Abby has a heavy secret which creates a strong emotional core to the narrative. The pacing is well-balanced, and the secondary characters enrich the small-town atmosphere. Overall, this is a charming read that captures the essence of love in the face of secrets. If you enjoy a clean romance full of love blossoming amidst misunderstandings and hidden identities, this book will not disappoint.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mr.Lucky is the first book and start to the Trentbridge Tales series. When James, a former detective finds himself at rock bottom, he decides to try his luck with a lottery ticket. He has lost his family and everything he cherishes and can not even afford to feed himself, so what does he have to lose? To his astonishment, he wins big; now all of his problems are solved, right? Not so much. Now he has some rather unpleasant people tracking him down and finding himself battling the underbelly of society, and his own demons. This was the first book by Lee Wood that I have read and it kept me guessing. This story is written in multiple POVs and has enough excitement, drama, danger, and psychological battle to make you love the writing. I am happy to continue on to the next book and see if the story continues and where the path leads.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging enemies to lovers western style romance. Joe is a teacher and amateur historian in the small town of Herd, in Montana. Ever since food truck owner Abby arrived in town Joe has had the feeling that she’s lying about her identity. Abby does in deed have a secret as she settled in Herd under an alias. Abby is actually the descendant of the infamous Whittier family and time is running out for her to claim her property. She’s worried this will destroy not only her life in the town but also her new relationship. The small town of Herd came vividly to life through the descriptive narrative as did the wonderful mix of locals. The chemistry between Joe and Abby came across in the story and I liked how their slow burn romance developed.

As a Jane Austen fan, I’ve read my fair share of inspired stories, many of which have been about our fair Georgiana Darcy. This one was at the top of my list of favorites. It was a short read but I greatly enjoyed it. The writing style made it seem as if it was written by Miss Austen herself, which can’t have been easy, since not many others have pulled it off. I don’t recall reading this particular author before, but I will definitely be reading more from her in the future, and if you are a fan of Jane Austen, this short and sweet read will not be a disappointment.

This book is a great YA romance story, told from the perspective of a brilliant female main character. Holland was easily the best character in this book. Her whole world seems to be flipped when she moves and find herself involved in a “love triangle”. I loved watching her character develop and how she interacted with the other characters.
This author really knows how to write to her audience. Every book I had read by her is perfectly suited for those intended to read the books. I always find myself engaging with the stories, and this one is no different. This is a great book from start to finish and I would recommend it for any fan of the genre.

I like being able to recommend good children’s books to people and this is another great one. I just wish my kids were little enough for them. I found that the author was able to really grab the reader into the story and make it fun. I like how the author is able to make the subject matter really easy and fun to read and has a really creative writing style. I like how the book is engaging and helps to teach younger kids. It has great illustrations and delightful characters. This is a great way for kids to get into a good reading habit and help them to learn in a creative and engaging way. I would highly recommend to any parent of younger kids to get and help their kids to learn some of life’s lessons and gain a good sense of competition and good citizenship.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A short book that shows the different places that people and animals can live. I think I would have liked this better if it was worked into a story. Each page is a picture and it says “some live …..( whatever the picture is)” and another different in the next page. No storyline. Then the ending makes note of how people are happy in families or alone. It rounds out nicely but the delivery could have been better. On the illustration side of things the pages are very well done and colorful.

I am a huge fan of Jane Austen and the Pride and Prejudice story. This novelette did not disappoint me at all. It was fun to travel back to Pemberley and revisit the beloved characters. I always liked Georgiana’s character and wanted more of her story. It is fun to follow the shy, hesitant girl as she asks her brother’s help to find a suitable husband after her less than satisfactory experience with Mr. Wickham. It is a very quick read (56 pages) and is a nice, cozy break from reality. I recommend this book and this author!

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book in this series. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help with your enjoyment of this series as well as the author’s writing skills. This is the fourth book in this series and it keeps getting better and better with each book. This is an author that I enjoy reading their books from the start. I enjoy the creative writing skills that make her character pop and that take you on a journey you won’t soon forget. This book is no different. It is a well written story that has characters you will love and want to see more of. I enjoyed how they pulled me into their story from the start. They have great growth throughout which makes the story easy and entertaining to read. A fast paced, hard to put down journey of outwitting a dark angel. What happens in this story is one you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to see what happens next with this series. I highly recommend this book and this series.

This book was a fabulous read. I was totally sucked in right from the beginning. Thedrama and intensity of the issues was like watching an older reality show. I felt there was a pretty good flow throughout the whole book. The characters w2ere so well done. I loved how they were developed. Each one had such unique personalities. Queen Riva was so self-absorbed yet wanted to do better. Her children were so varied. This has been a series that brings up a lot of emotions as you read it because it has a lot of parent/child disgruntlement (if that’s a word). I have enjoyed this series so very much.

What a silly story! First of all, I love when children’s books rhyme. It usually is more likely to keep a child’s attention. Second, this story had my 7 year old son cracking up the whole way through. I think it would make any little kid laugh. Maybe even some adults. Morals in kids books are fantastic. Sometimes, kids just need to smile and have fun. This book is perfect for that.

Resigned to her duty as the gatekeeper of evil, Meg reluctantly goes home—it’s time to live up to expectations.

4.5 Stars

 

To Be A Fae Rogue is the fourth book in the Realm Chronicles by Tricia Copeland. This anther engrossing addition to the series- adding on what has come previously- and upping the tension yet again.
This awesome urban fantasy adventure series is woven with plenty of action, Fae, magic, different realms, family friendship, sacrifice, danger, good vs evil, superb world building, mystery, challenges, tension, high stakes, agendas, interesting characters, and plenty of tense developments.
After everything that has happened, and all that Titania has shouldered and sacrificed, evil still prevails and threatens those whom Titania has sworn to protect. Will it come down to forming an unexpected alliance? This is well worth the read to find out!
This book continues the adventure we started back in book one, so I highly recommend that you read the other three books before starting on this one- as the other books contain character details/introductions, intriguing storyline developments, continuing developments, and other important information that you should have on board in order to fully appreciate this gripping instalment.
Bring On Book #5!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Tricia Copeland!

Teaching kids that doing the right thing is so important especially in today’s world. This book is perfect for all your little ones!

She realizes that she is still a threat to many and that they will do whatever they need to do to get rid of her. The threats are so dangerous now that its even putting her friends and family in danger. As she learns more and more about her background the more dangerous she becomes to others. There is also a slow burn romance in the background to keep you flipping the pages. This book has you flipping pages so fast you can barely keep up.

I am so excited that the next book has come out. I have been waiting impatiently for the next book to come out. Seeing Tatiana’s growth throughout the entire series has made my heart leap for joy. Just when I thought we were finally going to be done with Sonia, she still manages to come back and terrorize the land. Freedom with her “death” is bittersweet. She can now do anything she wants, but she can’t do so in the light. She has to do it within the shadows. The restraint she shows just further proves how far Tatiana has come from the very first book. But one can give up so much before push comes to shove and they snap. Now to do another long wait for the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an amazing read. For it being a short story and only being 57 pages long, I wasn’t expecting much. I was proven wrong! Naomi put so much in these short pages, it felt like I was reading a fairly large novel! It was well paced and I quickly found myself immersed in the story. The one thing that I loved about this story was that the main animal focus was a vulture, not your typical wolf shifter story. This story also didn’t have your typical “aplha hear me roar” type trope. Vultures aren’t supposed to have mates in this world. It’s actually forbidden because of them guiding those who have been touched by death. I’m not too into m/m stories, but this was beautifully well done m/m romance! I will for sure be passing this along to my LGBTQ friends!

This is the second book in the Buddy the Blue Corgi series, and it is just as cute as the first one! I loved the first book celebrating uniqueness while this one focuses on being patient. Buddy and his family learn about adoption and their forever homes away from the farm. They’re anxious but soon become excited for new adventures. Buddy isn’t feeling special as he’s the last pup left. Will he end up with his forever family, or will he be the only one who stays at the farm with his momma? The illustrations are beautiful, colorful, and they really add depth to the story. My kiddos are 8 and 12 years old, and they absolutely adored this book the entire way through. The life lesson of patience really helped settle both of their nerves and started a great conversation between us. I think this would make a great addition to a classroom, library, or even at home!

This is one of my favorite series, so I was beyond excited when I learned that the latest installment had finally been released, my excitement was through the roof! I picked it up immediately and could barely wait to dive in once I got home. This fourth book in the Realm Chronicles does not disappoint and continues to build upon the incredible foundation laid in the earlier volumes.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to read the previous books before diving into this one. Jumping in at this point would not only leave you feeling terribly lost but would also rob you of the rich world-building and character development that makes this series truly special. The author has crafted a universe so immersive that you’ll want to savor every detail.

Titania is a remarkable character who feels more like a friend than just a figment of fiction. She finally gets to forge her own path without any constraints. Yet this newfound freedom comes with a catch – she must remain in the shadows. The tension rises as she grapples with the dilemma of being needed to save her people while trying to stay unnoticed. If you are looking for a captivating paranormal YA to get absolutely lost in, please pick up this series. The author has somehow made each book better than the last, which is no small feat. As I closed the final pages of this installment, I was left eagerly anticipating the fifth book set to be released in 2025. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this journey!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened” is a fast-moving tale that intricately weaves together mythology, astrology, dark magic, monsters, war, and gods. The high-stakes journey continues in the fifth book of the series, so I recommend reading them in order as the story continues in “The Gods’ Scion” series. Winnifred’s work is vividly expressive and unique, creating a world that merges modern and futuristic themes. This is an interesting fantasy sci-fi story where magical realism and urban fiction meet. It is creative and full of lies, secrets, heartache, hatred, fear, action, drama, broken dreams, promises, betrayal, greed, revenge, family, and relationships, all woven together to give us an intriguing read. I enjoyed the complex characters and their tough journey, where loyalties are tested and not knowing who to trust makes their jobs that much harder. They also have to question what is right and wrong as Winnifred sends them through their paces. One thing is sure – they will fight to protect with their dying breath. I think this is the best book in the series so far.

I was impressed with Tricia’s latest book, To be a Fae Legend. It was good, but each subsequent book seems to be even better. I’m expecting the series’ final book to be epic. To be a Fae Rogue is the fourth book in the paranormal Realm Chronicles series. It’s important to read the books in order, or else you’ll miss out on so much. Even though it’s a YA series, I’m thoroughly enjoying it at the age of 62.
The Realm Chronicles is set in a magical world where faeries, monsters, and evil characters lurk in the shadows. It’s a place of darkness where you wouldn’t want to find yourself. It’s a magical tale filled with fae lore, legends, action, danger, lies, deceit, loss, pain, faeries, magic, drama, mystery, and much more.
Titania knows loss. She had it all and selflessly gave it up, except for one thing, and she’s willing to fight for that too. But is it worth it? Can they be avenged? Will the dark angel succeed, or is everything lost?
Let Tricia’s narrative transport you to the most magical of places and beneath the ruins of the world. I can’t wait for the next book.
