The series just keeps getting better. I was riveted to this one as Titania had faked her death to hide as to protect her family. The story really kept you engaged and intrigued because of the action and drama. There was mystery also around what was coming up next. Part of what I enjoy in these stories are the characters. Titania has really grown into her role through the series. She’s become stronger and a bit more confident. Her supporting characters are really quite perfect for the story. It’s a delight to read and I always look forward to a new one coming out.

What a sweet book. I loved how it is such a welcome story about a big brother welcoming his little brother into the family. Colorful illustrations make for pictures that will engage your child’s attention. The story is short, sweet and catchy. It’s just right to read to a child. My grandson and I enjoyed it for a bedtime story. We talked about his two younger brothers and how he felt when they joined the family.A sweet book that would be a lovely addition to family libraries.

Cam Creates a Hero is such a cute and inspiring book. Cam wants to make the world a better place. After hearing on the news about a young girl who is hurt, he wants to create a hero that will save kids who are in trouble. He and his foster siblings use cardboard and other materials to make a robot. In the light of day he looks a bit different and he doesn’t work. Cam is upset and loses faith in himself. He struggles to know how to help. While dreaming he meets his robot and he encourages him to keep drawing. Cam sets him mind to making a book that can help other kids. In his book his hero robot goes on adventures and helps others. Learning about compassion, courage, anger, and inner strength are all important life lessons and Cam must face these throughout the book. Once his book is finished he watches as the magic of his words help other children at the hospital. His robot dream comes true in a way. Such a wonderful book and the illustrations are so good! I love the look of the robot in different stages. I think that this book is great for younger readers. Kids have to navigate through so many emotions and books like this can help them grow through them, build confidence, have courage, be caring, and appreciate things in their lives. Wonderful for first libraries and bedtime stories too!
Down by the River is an adorable book that teaches kids a little bit about rivers and what is in and around them. You get to explore this river as you read the book. You will see animals above, fish below, and people all around. The illustrations are wonderful and fit the story so well. This book shows how the river is used in different way by both animals and humans. Great way to get kids interested in wildlife and nature. This book can open up other conversations about nature and caring for it as well. I would defiantly recommend this book to younger readers. Great for first libraries and bedtime stories.

This isn’t the first book I have read by this author and I am finding that I am always blown away with how well written her books are. This is a shifter book that doesn’t center-around the normal everyday shifters. This book has jackals, bats, and vultures. These are not in the norm of any shifter books I have read. There is also a twist by it being M/M. I am not as well versed in reading M/M but this book did not disappoint with that aspect at all. There is some spice to this book which just adds to the thrill of turning the pages. This books perfectly pieced together and the words just flow off the pages allowing you to visualize everything that is going on in the book. I love the character development that happens in this book. There is a struggle with the circumstances of the shifters in this book that each of the characters must overcome. That made this book a super quick read for me because I was dying to know what happened and I couldn’t put it down until it was finished. I am constantly trying to solve what is happening before I actually get there in the books that I read. I found myself not able to predict what was going to happen which makes this book even more special. Reviewed by: @bbohls
Midnight Falls was the perfect prelude into spooky season. We meet our main character, Josh, at the end of the story as he sets up the tale for us. There are creatures unknown and secrets in a small town. As we reach the climax, your heart rate is definitely running rampant. The writing gives off Grady Hendrix vibes in a wonderful way. If you aren’t a big horror reader, this is a great introduction.

This is the third book in the series and can be read as a stand alone or in any order in the series as each book follows a different couple. This is a slow burn romance that builds throughout the book. This book had me going through so many emotions while reading it. There is this tension in the book that you can feel while reading it. There is the push and pull in the beginning because both of the characters really didn’t like each other. So there is the simmer or romance building right from the start. The characters grow on you as you read the story. I wasn’t sure I was going to like either one of them right at the start but boy am I glad that I kept reading because I sure did really end up liking the strong personality of Abby. Joe took a little time to grow on me as a great character but by the end of the book, I felt like I could be his friend. Some secrets come out in the book and that is the catapult of the story line. I feel that the book is a quick read and could be read in one day. I like that it was a quick read because the story line continued to flow easily. There didn’t seem to be a lot of extra fluff and it didn’t feel like it dragged on. This book was a really good read and I highly recommend it. Reviewed by: @bbohls

This book had me from the moment I started reading it. I normally read books rather quickly when they have me like this one did. However, I felt that I needed to take my time with this one. Have you ever thought about the monsters that hide under your bed or in your closet and what you would do if they were to come out and try to get you? If so, this book is definitely for you. I will let you know that this is nothing like anything I have ever read or at least this year anyways. The beginning is very similar to Cujo by Stephen King. It’s spooky and yet feels like you are there with the characters during their moments of concern and whether or not they will get out alive. You will need to read the whole story to find out what happens because that is how this works. I will tell you that you will feel hurt with the characters as they deal with their possible doom.

This book is great for younger children. I’d say first libraries, bedtime stories, and kindergarten classes is where this book belongs! Super cute and the illustrations are wonderful! This book takes you through the many places where people and animals live. Each unique, but all homes. From big cities to countryside homes. Each has their own special qualities and all have love within them. This book reminds young readers that it doesn’t matter where you live, but that home is where all love begins. I really enjoyed sharing this book with kids. I would have them point out different things on different pages. Find who lives in hills on the ground, find who lives in cozy dens, and so on. I love making books interactive along the way. This was such a cute and wonderful book.

Buddy is back again with another story and another lesson. After being adopted by his new family, Buddy is settling in nicely. He enjoys his time with the family and his two cat siblings Salem and Donut. Of course they had their little fights here and there, but Donut normally helped sort it out. One morning the house woke up to trash all over the kitchen. Buddy was sad that his family had to clean up a mess and that they were upset. He made a plan to catch the trash bandit! But staying up past your bedtime can be hard. He fell asleep and when he woke to a crash he ended up getting blamed for the mess. Poor Buddy was in trouble for something he didn’t do. The next day he took an extra long nap so that he could stay up and catch the bandit once and for all. Hiding behind a sack of potatoes he stay quite until he heard noises from the trash. Jumping out he catches the culprit! But they run off and he again is blamed from the mess. He is put to bed and a gate is put up to keep him away from the kitchen. Donut comes to sort out the problem and learns who really is at fault. Not wanting to be a tattletale, Buddy keeps him mouth shut. But the truth always comes out. The next night the real culprit gets caught and Buddy learns that being honest is always the best. Even if you are scared you shouldn’t let someone else get in trouble for something they didn’t do.

These books (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) are such cute and fun books. They each have a wonderful lesson and they are great for kids! Kids are taught many ways and I believe that books are one way that tend to be missed out on early on. In this book Buddy, a blue corgi is waiting to get adopted. He’s a little scared at first, but he loves the idea of going to a forever home. One by one his brothers and sisters get adopted. He’s left feeling unwanted and without his siblings playing just isn’t the same. One day a man and woman show up and they are so happy to find him. They drove from another state, hours away just for him! Arriving to his new home he meets their three kids and their two cats. He learned that his family just didn’t find him yet. He was worried for nothing. Waiting can be hard. Such a wonderful book! I can’t wait to read the others with my kiddos. I got this for a nine year old, but I really think that younger kids would not only love these books, but they would benefit from the lesson in it. Grab all of these books!! You will not regret it. Wonderful for first libraries, bedtime stories, and kindergarteners!

This book is such a cute book that teaches children that it’s okay to be different. In the book you follow a Corgi who is unique. Born in a small farm in Kansas, Buddy didn’t know that he was different. It took a few weeks for his eyes to open, but once they did him and his siblings played and explored the barn a lot. One day a horse told him that he looked strange. He was blue when all the other pups were tan and white. He never realized that he was different. This upset him very much. Was he even a Corgi? Was he even a dog?!! Finding him upset, his mother tried to comfort him. Letting him know that different isn’t bad, it’s unique! Giving him examples, he slowly started to see what she meant. Everyone has something different about them. Different just means special and unique. This is such a great book for kids. Let’s face it, kids can be mean. Going to school and getting made fun of happens to us all. This book teaches at an early age, that different is okay! It’s better than okay even. Kids need this lesson in their lives. I got this for my nine year old, but I think this would be wonderful for younger kids. Start them out young with these books and lessons. This book is great for first libraries, bedtime/night time reads, and kindergarten reads.

Ok, admit it, when you were little you wanted to try the Elmer’s glue to. This story is awesome. Let your imagination roam with what would happen if you tried to taste the glue. Oh the things that could happen. This story let’s the creative imagination roam. I loved it. An awesome story that makes you remember those olden days as you’re reading this to your child or grandchildren. It’s funny and entertaining.
I love this whole series! It’s super cute. It deals with different “couples” in each book. They all live in and/or move to a small town named Buckeye Falls in Ohio. Everyone knows everyone and the town is so sweet! This book is about Mallory and Beckett. Mallory has been dreaming of her wedding her whole life. Playing make believe and getting married to her brother’s best friend and their childhood neighbor has been in her head for 15 years! Even the family heirloom ring is in those dreams. Finding out her brother plans to give it to his girlfriend CeCe has her speechless and watching that dream float away. What she doesn’t know is that her brother’s best man of course is going to be his best friend Beckett! He’s moved back to town and the family farm. He can’t forget that marriage under the apple trees was back when either and he wants her by his side. Both of them dream to be with each other and it’s hard to hide it. As wedding plans get sorted, because they are best man and maid of honor, they are both thrown together more and more. Of course huge sparks fly!!! Fearful of her brother’s opinion they start to date in secret. But as we all know those can’t stay hidden! Will it all blow up in their face? Can childhood love last through the ages? And what about the brother and the ring!! If you haven’t read any of this series you will not be disappointed! Grab them all! I love the characters and the world that the author spins. I can see this as a movie series so easily!

This is the 7th book in this series and can be read as a stand alone. It is also one of many that I have read by this author and each time I read one of her books, I am reminded why I like them so much. This book has everything that you could want from a second chance romance stand point. I like the twist where the female is the one that left in pursuit of her dreams. It gives it a little twist that isn’t in most second chance romances. I also, really enjoyed the male character and how he is the one that struggled after the break up. It just took some different perspectives that really made me enjoy the book. It is a quick read and you won’t be able to put it down because of how well it is written. This books showcases the struggle that can happen within families when someone takes an ex back and how outside interference can effect relationships. That said it was amazing. I am looking forward to reading more from this author cause I have yet to be disappointed. Reviewed by: @bbohls

This book is such a great book for growing young boys. There is another book (Miranda’s Mirror) that is more catered to girls, but both are great reads for kiddos! This children’s book teaches about spiritual armor but also about being strong, brave, and courageous. You follow young Andrew with a toy chest his parents got him before he could even walk. As he gets older the toys change. One day there is armor in the chest. He puts it on and feels brave and strong. His parents even say so. He and his friends have great adventures wearing their armor. They climb trees, they fight a dragon, they rescue a princess, and they even have a fort! Andrew feels like a warrior. One day he falls and hurts his knee. This causes him to start questioning everything. Is he really brave? What about strong? He’s not so sure anymore so he puts his armor away. His dad helps him learn about the armor of God and trusting in him. He gets his armor back out and he is kind, forgiving, and helpful. It’s such a wonderful book!! The end is super cute too as Andrew has his own family and he passes down his armor! I can’t wait to get the other book for my daughters! There are activities in the back of this book as well as some scriptures to help teach young children more about God’s truths (Example: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14).
Midnight Falls by John Evans. This is a super dark vampire thriller that will keep you turning pages late in the night. I do admit I got a little scared reading this at night and I loved it! Its the story of Josh who has chosen to move to Midnight Falls and he got a job as a freelance writer for the local newspaper. He becomes quick friends with his neighbors Joey and Brad as they are new to Midnight Falls as well. Josh starts to settle in even finds himself a girlfriend, Lizzie. The only problem he really has is the sheriffs son, Jarrod who wanted to buy Josh’s car and Josh told him no. He doesn’t seem to take kindly to being told no and the Sheriff even threatens Josh. Josh also has his faithful companion Nimrod his dog and Nimrod has saved Josh more than once. I really enjoyed this book. It was scary at times but also had a great storyline! This was my first read by this author but it won’t be my last!

Forbiddenly Yours was right in line with everything I’ve read from this author. The characters are able to draw you in from the very start and keep you hoping for them. The twists will surprise you for sure. There were several points in the second half of the book where a bit more editing could have been done. But other than that, very enjoyable.

So there is this ring and seems to control who lives and who doesn’t. Sadly, Kenia and Mikael are the two who life hangs in the balance. Kenia is the hunter while Mikael is the demon angel at least according to their families. The thing is that Mikael doesn’t seem to care about himself anymore and just wants Kenia to do what the ring wants him to do, despite having feelings for Kenia. There is no denying that there is some else going on between the two. Can their feelings for each other outweigh the strength of the ring or will the ring win? You will need to read it to find out the answer.

This was such a cute book. The book is about a group of kids during a pig wrestling contest. They are all running around trying to catch a slippery muddy pig. Angela, the main female character wants to win the pig but she has a few challenges first. Bruce, the main male character being one of them. He’s a bully and he’s after her prize! Throughout the book you see kids give up for various reasons. Not Angela. She is standing up for herself and she wants that pig! She jumps on the pig and he squooshes from under her. As he goes Angela gets poked in the eye. It doesn’t stop her as she stalks Bruce and the pig more. Bruce tried to push her, but she pushes him back and jumps for the pig again. With a black eye she holds tight to the bucking squealing pig. Will she win?? Or will Bruce be the victor?? Grab this book to find out!! It is so cute. I love the illustrations too. It’s very well done and it helps kids learn the importance of perseverance and standing up for one’s self. We’ve raised a few pigs so we know just how spunky they can be. Such a fun book for younger readers. Great for 1st Libraries too!!

First let me say that if you are not a fan of sex scenes then this isn’t the set for you. BUT if you don’t mind them…, you have to read this book!! It is so good. In this COMPLETE series you get to meet all the guys- Mr. Wimp (Joel), Mr. Smooth (aka Coach), Mr. Player, Mr. Kiny, Mr. Heartless, Mr. Rich, Mr. Boring, Mr. Nice, Mr. Unavailable, Mr. Rockstar, Mr. Pushy, Mr. Bullsh*t, and Mr. Almost Perfect. When you read the book you will understand the names and let me tell you!! SO FUNNY!! So, this set of books is about a woman named Bella who is in her thirties. She’s been married for 12 years, but they have slowly drifted apart. Him more so than her, but now she’s starting all over. Now she has to navigate the dating world while healing from a failed marriage and trying to regain her self-confidence and frankly herself back. Her group of friends is awesome! They always banter back and forth, they are SO funny, and the advise! Man oh man! It’s so awesome! I laughed so much. Such a group of personalities for sure! Bella joins a dating app and jumps back into the crazy dating world. She goes on a few dates and they are all Unique in their own way. They each get their own nickname (LOL!). Read to find out more there!!!! It gets a little messy here and there, but she is determined to have fun and see who’s out there. I’m not sure which guy’s story is the best honestly. Some are so funny. Some are sad. Some are even annoying and will have you mad. But so well written!! I can see each of these unfolding. The dating waters are full of all kinds of guys and Bella sure meets some different ones!! Will Bella find Mr. Right? Or will each guy crash and burn along the way? You will not regret readying this series! It will have you literally laughing out loud. You won’t want to put it down!! I defiantly didn’t want to! I can’t wait to read more from this author. Such a great funny read with TONS steamy romance. And Bella loves steamy romance books herself, some of which have scenes she’d love to recreate! And does she???!!! Read the set to find out all the dirty details!! The author also includes a playlist in the back with songs to go with each guy and of course their “names” are there as well. Nicknames if you will. Hehe 😉

Wilde – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
This is the fifth and final book in the series and I have not read a book quite like this before. I loved how the author gives the reader a bit of an update of the characters from the first four books. It really helped tie everything together and I am a sucker for finding out more about the characters from the other books. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series so you can fully understand what is happening. This is a collection of short stories about each of the other books. It doesn’t mix the characters in each story but it does tie them together in a way that makes it a very nice flowing book. There is the steam, romance, and there is still a little bit of drama. I can say that this book really just put a great closure on the series and really helped the reader stop wondering what happens to these amazing characters. It is set 3 years in the future from the last book. I just really love being able to see what is happening to the characters that I have fallen in love with through out the series. This is a must-read after you’ve read the rest of the series. If you happened to pick this book up first, please go back and read the rest of the series so you can fully understand what each character when through to be where they are in this book.

This series of books is so cute and so fun for families. If you have a child and a dog then this series is great for you! Or if you plan on getting a dog for your family/child. This series helps kids understand dogs more and the responsibilities that come with having and caring for them. You might learn too! In this book you learn about baking treats for your dog. It has so many wonderful recipes for you and your kiddos to test out. In the back it has some great talking points that are perfect for you to talk about with your young dog lover too. My girls can’t wait to try out some of the recipes for our three dogs. We are thinking of making the “Penny’s Peanut Butter and Honey Dog Biscuits” first, as all three of our dogs have no issues with the ingredients in them. I love that these books teach you so much about dogs while reading. Every child should read these if they have a dog or plan on getting a dog. I have even learned some things and I am in my 30s! My girls are excited to read more and of course super excited to get into the kitchen and start baking for the puppies! 🙂

This is the second book of the series. This is Fiend’s (Jett) story. Fiend was a troubled teen when he ran away from home because he didn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps. He met Lucifer (the Leader of Merciless Few MC) and his ol’ lady Sam, they took him in and he worked hard to become part of the brotherhood. Fiend is like a lot of the brotherhood when it comes to having an ol’ lady (they don’t want to settle down). You also meet Poppy, she is a bunny but she wants to be an ol’ lady. This a sad story of Jett’s childhood and his actual family. You will learn things from Jett’s and Poppy’s past that will have you in tears. There were moments where I didn’t want to continue reading because my heart hurt so much for both of them. This is one of those books that you will connect with no matter what, keep reading so that you can find peace yourself. Hooked: The Merciless Few by S Courtney My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well his best friend so happens to have a little sister Blake who seems to be the perfect fit. Morgan is very protective of his daughter, as her mother is an actress and really doesn’t want anything to do with Ciara. That is until she gets married and decides she wants to try and be mother of the year. Morgan already has full custody and refuses any visits that aren’t supervised. Blake wasn’t planning on falling in love with anyone or have children, until she meets Ciara, and Morgan.<br />It’s a slow romance but oh so good. It will give you many laughs, and smiles until your cheeks hurt. What a beautiful story! <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/6813301-tori”>View all my reviews</a>

This book is such a cute book! I got it for my 8 year old, but after reading it all together by 11 year old enjoyed it as well! I have gotten and read a few of this authors books and I must say that you can’t go wrong with any of her stuff. She’s such a wonderful children’s book author!! I can’t wait to read more with my kids from her. This small children’s chapter book takes place in Mr. Barsins’ Toy Emporium. This toy shop is a world a magical world where imaginary friends are real. The book follows four children in their quest for imagination and adventure. A world where it’s all four season and there are creatures all around. Lily, Jack, Audrey, and Nick are all drawn to the Emporium in different ways, but their stories slowly connect at the shop. The book is full of magic and adventures, but like everything there is a price to pay for the imaginary friends and it isn’t money! This book captures you in it’s grip and you just can’t wait to read it. It only took a couple days for my children and I to read and that was with us taking turns reading chapter by chapter.
