This was an interesting read. It’s a short story. I found it to be a good look into the beginning of Xenobia and Urd’s friendship. This is my first venture into this series and I’m looking forward to starting it. Xen sppears to be strong in this society where women aren’t valued. I found myself totally rooting for them. It’s definitely a book I recommend.
I have loved this romantic suspense series. Mateo and Janey had an friends/lovers to enemies relationship that works back into more. I enjoyed the suspense of the story. The romance has a touch of spicy that makes it adds to the story. The story itself is very engaging. It does work well ads a standalone. If you have read the first two books that will help enhance the story even more. It’s thrilling, full of drama, and romance. An enjoyable read that I recommend.

This was a really beautiful story of being brought to God in times of trouble. Muffin was the author’s cat. Muffin went missing. This brought about a whole set of actions that led to a miracle. There are beautiful prayers and poems in the book. It’s a very neat story that can be shared with all to help in times of trouble or anguish or to even help bring people to God. It was a definite light in my reading.

What an amazing story. I was pulled in shortly after I started it. This will have you feeling all the emotions. There are secrets being hdiden from these two. All they want is to be able to go on with their lifes and things are so out of their control. Can they make the right decision? Is it worth the cost. The story is written in such a beautiful way. It’s engaging and you can’t put it down once you start. You want to know what happens with them. I can’t recommend this story enough. I would love to read more from these two authors.

Quite the intriguing tale. Ashton and Zachary shared every bit of their story with us. I feel like I knew every little detail including the BDSM dom/sub sex thing. As a story, it kept me engaged and wanting to follow it. The whole BDSM isn’t my angle but if this is your genre, this would be a story worth going for. The whole gang enveloped Ashton like she was one of them. She is very strong. I was quite surprised to learn she was a retired person from that arena. It’s a steamy romance with really good characters, a good story and worth your time to purchase and read. Just the descriptions of Ashton alone will make you drop your jaw and have a new book boyfriend.
This was an adorable, cute and funny romance. These two had such a cute flirt going on. I absolutely laughed when she dropped into the old guys lapped and he copped a feel. What a way to start a vacay. (and it wasn’t even the cute guy). Some secrets were hidden but they both shared and were upfront about them. I loved watching this relationship develop. It was a wonderful read that helped brighten a rough weekend. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Test of the Four is the second book in the series. I definitely recommend that your read book 1 first. What cool characters. I loved the personalities. They all had such unique and intriguing characteristics. We had grumpy Leopold to the nonbinary Temple to former Lady Aurora. All the little romances were very interesting. The pairings were sort of explained as the book went along. I felt the book gave more into the back story during the healing time for Leopold. It’s a wonderful series. I can hardly wait for the next to come out.

Bennett – Review by Shelly Kittell
Love this series. Each book is so wonderful. The writing is strong. Ros and Jackson are a couple I found I could root for. Ros seemed to have some things she needed to work on. Jackson did things the wrong way but he didn’t want to lose things the way they were. I enjoyed watching things work out and seeing them get their act together and realize what they have. It’s a terrific series that I highly recommend. You can read it standalone or series. I do recommend in order because you’ll get some background into their friends and the backstory.
I loved this story. Alexa is working through some prior issues from the past. Miles is learning about fated mates. Together they seem to somehow be making this work. the people around them seemed to be supportive. I am guilty of the little chuckle when you go to bed with a human and you wake up the next morning to literal dog breath. I love how this author writes because you get so involved in the story right from the start. It’s a really intriguing story that kept me so into it that I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read Mason’s story. I want to read more about about this pack. Maybe we can have Derek’s story?

Another winner in our book. I read this to my grandkids and they loved it. The theme is keeping the beach clean. Great colorful pictures. This time we have a lovely mermaid. Cray and his friends, along with the humans, help clean up the litter that has scattered after a windy day at the beach. A fun story full of rhymes with a neat rhythm. Cool characters. This is a fun learning book to add to family libraries for reading time.

This is going right onto my list for best romantic suspense of the year. Noah and Sadie were in the heat of the action right from the start. They have history and when they rekindled that history along came Romeo, the serial killer, that Noah has been hunting. I can’t tell you more due to spoilers but there are twits and turns that will keep you on your toes. This author rights such wonderful stories. I can’t put down any of her stories until I finish them. I must know what happens right then. Noah and Sadie have some big baggage attached to them that they will deal with during the story and this is one relationship that kind of reminds you of the movie SPEED. Can it survive the drama and adrenaline? Well-written characters and a well-done story make for a great book. This is one book worth picking up and reading. You can also give the others in the series a shot too. It can be read as a standalone.

This was a very interesting read for an MC story. Cutter is looking for his Little and thinks he’s found her in his sexy detective. An interesting relationship to follow. This was a fairly new trope for me. The premise of the story was well-written. Watching thse two work out their issues was worth it. If you enjoy MC and the Daddy dominant/submissive trope, this would be a good book to read.
My grandson was so excited to get to read another Nessie adventure. This was such a fun story. It’s short and ful of adventure. The kids go along with Nessie and find their way to fun. The story is exciting and it’s a hit in my house. The pictures are colorful and well illustrated. These have fast become the faorites at storytime. This author is so creative. I can hardly wait to see what the next adventure brings.

I enjoyed this book. The mystery was intense. It totally grabbed me right from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. I liked the many perspective points of view of the team and the timeline jumps. It kept it fresh and exciting. So many villians and the loyal team members were trying to really help the boys. There is lots of action, drama and a touch of romance. The intrigue makes it feel a tad like Indiana Jones. This has been a really neat series to read. My grandson isn’t quite old enough to read it yet but I’ve got it on my bookshelf for him. Thank you for sharing this really entertaining adventure.

What a wonderful story. Could this moody wounded soldier and fearful librarian come together? This story showed that challenges could be overcome and not to judge a book by its cover. I really enjoyed seeing this relationship develop. They overcame a lot. She worked through her fears to be come more confident and he learned to let another in. The narration was done well. I always wish for a male voice to do the the male. However, this narration was quite enjoyable. It’s an experience I do recommend.

A good story with plenty of steamy, spicy MMF romance. I felt like I got some glimpses of substance throughout the book but they were fast blinks. Told in multiple POV’s, the author tried to give us a view of how Weston, Callum and Petra settled into the new arrangements which was a good way to tell the story. I enjoyed the tales of how the dogs lived. It’s a good story if you’re a fan of this trope.
Oooh, how I love this series! Here is book3 and it’s so intense. It’s mystery, suspense, romance, drama and a bit more of anything else dark. There are two stories within the book. They are fabulous. Each story contains the coupling of a power couple basically. The woman turns out to be a strong, resilient woman that falls for the gorgeous, slightly rich guy. I’m not telling you anymore because you have to experience this deliciously sinful and exciting book for yourself. It’s hot, spicy and a must-read. Go for it, you know you want to..

These are wonderful stories that do a great job at building confidence in young girls. I really like the fact that they work on instilling that failure is okay as long as you learn from it and try again. To keep trying is okay. These are positive and inspiring stories. I will buy a copy for each of my granddaughters.
This has been a fascinating series. This is book 9 of the series. It is definitely “read in order.” Master Botosoni is on a mission with the others to stop the rogue vampires, shifters and witches. With the help of Catina and her gift of sight and her role in everything, some major changes are made. There are some twists that I couldn’t see coming. I love following this series. It’s also fun because as the books go on, most of the team comes back to help with the war. I do think at times there are some spots that get a little dry but that’s where the author throws in a twist. Considering the big twist at the end, I’m looking forward to the next book. I can’t wait for book 10 to come out and see where the next Master leads us.

The Rocklyns Collection has turned out to be one of my favorite romance series set this year. Each story is different and I loved every one of them. The writing is done very well. I love the characters. My favorite was Shannon. She just resonated with me. They all felt so real though. They could have been your neighbors. My favorite part is that they are all in one boxed set. It really makes it so convenient for reading. I’m not tech savvy on my Kindle and the less I have to hunt for a book the better. This is a great collection I recommend.

I enjoyed this story. The mystery and suspense had me straight off from the beginning. She is a strong character that wanted to be like her father was. Unfortunately, the stalker/crazy found her. I found the writing to be very well done. It was intriguing and I didn’t want to put the book down. This is one of those books that is very exciting. The author did very well with details about Italy. Thanks for writing this. So enjoyable. I definitely recommend.

Wow, this is action-packed all the way. Adam and Matt are in trouble. We see them get through on their own when all is against them. We get to see them go through Greek Mythology this time. The drama and action make this story full of drama, unpredictable action, and twists and turns. What a ride this series has been so far. I’m looking forward to reading more.

Again, another intriguing tale of mystery. A German U-Boat is found and they are on a mission to protect it and bring it back. Oh the adventures they have. They take many risks. I am enjoying this series. These kids are pretty gutsy. It really is wonderful writing an the characters are so well done and feel like they are kids from your neighborhood.

What a fun adventure series. This is a team of young people that are tasked with saving historical pieces. They have adventures that one can only imagine and go through some danger and mystery.

Adam and his friends are out again trying to help save relics. This time they are in Egypt during a severe sandstorm. They face danger and many risks as they go about their mission. I love the writing and the characters in these stories. Though geared for young adult, they are very easy for adults to get into also. I couldn’t put it down. A fascinating tale.

Right from the start I found myself chuckling with the story. Miller was hiding his case from his family the best the could. We see when he gets back to the restaurant how that turns out. Maisy is running away from a marriage that she doesn’t really want. She’s doing her best to protect her brother, Bear, from her mother. Between the two of them, there are some issues that are deep and need to be resolved. I do find that these two are like a bit of a healing salve for each other. Miller, a former playboy, doesn’t want any other girl now. Maisy is attracted to Miller and is finding that he makes her happy. Bear has a role to play with everyone. He’s a terrific kid that brings a smile to everyone. He’s my favorite character in the story. He’s so good and innocent. This is a terrific book that has romance, comedy, and drama. When Maisy drops into Miller’s front seat, you can feel the Runaway Bride vibes. It’s a fun story that will have you smiling. There is great chemistry. There are familiar faces that appear in the story from previous books. It can be read as a standalone or in order in the series.

This is a fantastic book. I found it to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Kai and Waters have powerful chemistry together that make this story cohesive. I love how well the story is written. The danger appears on the set to Kai and Waters and his team are right there to protect her. The characters are very well-thought out and developed. I can’t wait to read more in this series and see where it goes.

What a fun book! This is part of the Grandma’s Closet series. Carrie is looking for something fun to do and can’t find anyone to do it with. She remembers the boxes that Grandma left. It’s amazing what a round box marked with Fascinator can do for your imagination. I find the way that the author highlights the action words to point out the movements. Carrie is having fun just looking for fun. The way the author also points out the adjectives like different and unusual shows that using your imagination is okay. Being creative is a good thing. This is a wonderful book and my family always looks forward to new ones from this author. Reading and fun go together so well.
What a beautiful story with tragic undertones. The tone of the story was really fairly easy to relate to. Anne wanted to start a family. Pedro didn’t want one. Reading about their struggle and dealing with family drama made this a book that I couldn’t put down.Beautiful story with wonderfully written characters.
