The Trouble with Possibilities by Nancie Abuhaidar
OK so this book wasn’t quite my cup of tea. I had trouble connecting with most of the characters in the book. The characters were a little too complex for me. Because of the complexity of the characters, it brought a certain amount of tension between them. On saying that this book has hope, emotional drama, family, friendship and some sense of loss and the possibilities of a different life. While this book was not my cup of tea, I found the writing style of the book was great. For someone, this book is going to be a great read, so please get yourself a copy and find out for yourself. Nancie thank you for putting your thoughts into this book. I give this book a 3.5 rating.

A Safe Place (Philly Heat Series Book 6) By Becky Flade
I can’t say if the books in this series can be read as standalones as I have started on book six which most times is not a good thing as there could be great background information that I have missed out on. This book has plenty of twists and turns some may be somewhat of a surprise. We also have some tragedy and betrayal; I also like the writing style of this author, which by the way this is the first book I have read by her. Kat and her brother Nat were brought up by their maternal grandma after their parents died in an accident before Kats’s first birthday. Now they have lost their grandma as well. Their grandma has left her home equally to both Kat and Nat and named him as Kat’s guardian. Kat is now 15, Nat is away in the army so until they can get hold of Nat she needs to be placed in care, as this will be a temporary placement, what could go wrong? Plenty is the answer. Kat reports that the foster parent’s son had exposed himself to her instead of being mad at their son, they were mad at Kat, so she left for school and never returned to the home. This home will now be investigated as its suitability for other children to be placed there. If that is not enough for a 15-year-old to go through she is an unfortunate witness to a murder. Kat is placed under social worker Maddi’s care, while Maddi not only needs to protect Kat but is also working to reunite Kat with her brother so she can be safe in her own home. This is a book for budding love as we find Nat falling in love with Maddi, but is Maddi able to return the feelings? Grab a copy of this book to find out what happens with Kat, Nat, and Maddi.

There are three books to read in this series. The characters were developed quite well and each I thought were as strong as each other, but that is my opinion. If you like reading dark stories, then you need to grab this collection. I thought the author has a great knack of story building which made the books quite enjoyable to read. You need to read this series in order to get the background information.
Magic Price Book 1 I found this book to be long read but well worth it, this story has twist and turns that enhance the book. We meet Ian Troy who is a bounty hunter, who has decided to have himself living in self exile. He is living a life that is filled with ghosts from his past, while in his self-imposed exile he is also trying to forget his mistakes. However, his old enemies will not forget, nor will they let him forget. What Ian Troy needs to do is find new alliances, as his past returns to him and returning also brings new threats to him.
Magic Scars Book 2 The second book in this series I found was a little darker than book one but still an enjoyable read and I am sure you will enjoy the journey through this series. Ok where to start with this one. So, we are now two years after then end of book one we find Ian Troy has been imprisoned by King Draken and found himself to have been drugged in order to supress his magic. Ian Troy discovers the world he is returning to is just as bad off as he is. He also has an addiction to magic which he knows is a problem. He feels the responsibility he is carrying is a burden especially since he struggles to get his own life back together.
Magic Borne Book 3 As with books one and two this is another long read but is well worth the effort to end this series. This book has also been written well which makes it another enjoyable read. This book is not different to the other two you will find some action and suspense. Anyway, here we are at the end of Ian Troys journey and what a journey it has been. Along his way Ian Troy made a couple of discoveries which has now opened his way of thinking what he needs to be doing to free the people that are in the realm. So here he is fighting again with others helping him. He knows in order to free the people he must destroy the Crown of Stones. The question is will he and the people who are helping him fight be able to achieve this?

L. Schneider – Review by Sue Kemp
This a very quick read, this novella has four chapters and has been well written. I give it a 4-star rating. This book is set in the era where if young girls’ virtue were compromised, it was intended that they would marry the man who compromised them. How ever for Georgiana this did not happen. After she was comprised by Mr Wickham, Georgina did not think that she had much chance of ever getting married. Her brother took Georgianna to live with him and his family. She gets on well with her brother and wife and loves their children. Georgiana wished for her brother and his wife to find her a husband. Lizzy approached her husband, and they decided upon a house party to try and find her a husband of good standing. When Lt Montfort met Georgiana, he was quite taken with her, and she brightened his day. But when he finds out she had been compromised would he still want to be near her?

Master Romano (Book Four in the Masters of the Consulate Series) By Sylvia Black
First to Sylvia after reading five of your books you have well and truly extended my reading genre into Vampire stories. Book four is just as beautifully written as the other books in this series. I like the writing style it makes the books so easy to read and enjoyable. In this book we follow Romano and Raven. Before you read their story, I hope you have read the series from the beginning as like I have said previously its good to get some background information. So, we have Romano who as the story suggests has a dark soul, but does he? Raven said to be smart and somewhat playful and would have no problems standing up to Romano. Out of all the Vampires and their mates, I think Romano and Raven could possibly be the best together, but this is just a personal opinion. Romano finds himself in a spot of trouble as a loyal confidant has gone wayward and as a result he is being investigated to see if he has anything to do with it, now he needs to prove his innocence. Romano says he can not trust any witches, Raven has always been afraid Vampires solely because of the stories behind them. Raven is saved by Romano which brings some sort of understanding between them and due to this they get close, and the start of their romance begins. Now these two need to be able to work together not only to hopefully save her family but also to prove the other vampires that he can be trusted. Can this be achieved? You will need to read the book to find out.

Master Trentino (Book Three in the Masters of the Consulate Series) By Sylvia Black
Master Trentino is book three in this series. I do have to say the more books I read in this series the more I am enjoying the storyline. This book we find its centred around Trentino and Angel. It is good to see some of the characters from previous books and to read how well they engage with each other. As with Slyvia’s brilliant writings this book is another one that will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and is another quick read. As we already know Trentino is a vampire master, Angel however as a medium can speak to the departed, her family is also part of the mafia. Her family has always hated the vampire community for as long as she can remember. Now Angel has met Trentino, and she feels that there is some sort of connection between the both of them. She has put herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and now Trentino must save her, and to save her she has now joined the vampire community which her and her family have hated for the longest time. I have to say on a personal note that this book is my favourite from what I have read so far, who knows later it could be another book. What I also liked about this book was the strength that each of the characters showed. Grab a coffee relax and read this book.

Back in the Ring (The Predator Series Book 4) By Brooke May

Since I am doing this review on the complete series, I will not do my review on each individual book as I was going to as it would make for one exceptionally long review. The cover of the series I was not too fussed on, that is it for the do not like part of my review. Having never read anything by B.L. Wilde before I was not sure what to expect. But let me say that I was pleasantly surprised with the way each novella was written. Boy, do we ever go on some journey with Miss Bella. She sure did meet some nice men, but also some horrible jerks as well, the jerks I just wanted to punch. Guess that is the way go through life from the toad to the prince to find our love. Jenson (Mr Kinky), was my favourite out of all the Mr’s. I must say that B.L. Wilde absolutely floored me with Mr Almost Perfect, I did not see that coming at all. Honestly, you can not go wrong with reading the complete series, so what is stopping you?

Master Tuscano (Book Two in the Masters of the Consulate Series) By Sylvia Black
Master Tuscano is the second book in this series. This book is fast paced but is an easy read. This book centres around Christian who is another if the masters and Delilah who the Consulate does not like or approve of. Christian appears to be pig headed and will protect Delilah from anyone. As for Delilah being human, she does not stay around to hear things that she feels she does not need to listen to. Being human is one thing the Consulate sees as a problem for them. Now as with all epic stories such as this one, things go pear shaped, Christian decides he needs to turn Delilah into a vampire and basically does not care what the consulate will think as there is no way he is going to lose the one that he loves. Will Christian be in trouble with the Consulate for his move with Delilah? Really enjoying this series and so glad I decided to read the books.

Master Descallia (Book One in the Masters of the Consulate Series) By Sylvia Black
This is my second book by Sylvia Black, which is Master Descallia the first book in the series. After reading book 11 first then coming to book one I would suggest they should not be read as a stand alone as we all know even the smallest amount of background history helps throughout the series. As I said in my book 11 review, I do not normally read vampire stories, but this series looks like it is going to be good one to read. I have to say this book is a nice quick read and has been written beautifully. This book centres around Salvatore and Lucianna. Lucianna is a detective, Salvatore is an Overlord, they are brought together to work on the disappearance of women. In order for the search for the missing women to continue, she has been given a team to collaborate with her. It is through the search interactions that he finds thee is attraction between himself and Lucianna, but why and how can is the attraction there? If you enjoy vampire stories, I think this may be shaping up to be the series you need to read.

Ok so this is my first book by this author. I do love a good MC story, and this one is well worth the read. I found this author has a lovely writing style which makes the book so easy to read. What you will also find this book will take you a roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns, you will also find in a lot of places in the book it is fast paced which for me makes it an impressive read. There is so much going on in this book you will be eager to turn the page just to see what happens next. Not only has the author written Raven and Avi’s characters well, but also the other characters in the book have been written just as well. The characters are a bit complex but that only enhances the storyline of the book. So, you have Reaper who has been totally heartbroken thanks to his ex-girlfriend cheating on him, so he is in no way looking to be in another relationship. Then unexpectedly Avi and her daughter start to bring some sunshine back into his life. As Reaper and Avi get closer, he decides there is nothing he would not do for her and her daughter and as such he will now protect them. This book is a nice somewhat quick read, and I do recommend its read if you like a good MC storyline.

I was a little lost starting this book, but it is probably more to do with me starting here and not at the beginning, once I got into the storyline of the book, I only put it down when I had to. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I have to say because of the writing style I found this book easy to read. I do not tend to read a lot of vampire stories, but I am glad I decided to give this book a go. This book the main characters are Bistrita and Chara. I did find that these two characters were a little repetitive in the way they spoke to each other, but for me it did not spoil their storyline. I also liked how strong both Bistrita and Chara’s characters were as strong as each other. To finish this book is fast paced, has quite a bit action, which I hope will keep you interested in the story.

The Rebirth: Part One: Aliens and Royalty (Planet Amazon Book 1) By Crystal Dawn
I must be honest when I first started to read this book, I did not think it was going to be for me. By the end of the first chapter the storyline had me wanting to know what was next. I like how all the main characters in the book had their own strengths with the females of Amazon being slightly stronger than the men. She is Andrea Stanton, and she has found the doorway to Amazon and has gone through it. On getting through the door Andrea wakes up feeling so dizzy she did not want to open her eyes. Queen Lydia had hit her on the back of her head with a staff. It did not take long for Lydia and Andrea to become close friends in fact over time Andrea became Lydia’s second in command. Andrea noticed Marcus as Lydia was showing her around and was told she could not have him just yet, Andrea has also noticed Jonne, she found herself attracted to both of them on sight. I love how the storylines of the two men that become part of Andreas life are so different, yet they both are a perfect match for her. The storyline continues to build throughout the book and at no time does not hold your attention. What we have in this book is romance, lust, action, and a war between two worlds. I can honestly recommend that this book be read.

Wildfire Knockout: The Predator Series Novella By Brooke May
What can I say about another great instalment in the Predator series, I am really enjoying each book Brooke writes, I am also giving this book a 5-star rating. This instalment is about Scott and Beth. I love how their characters have grown through their own story. Beth has told KC past secrets but then there are also some that she has held on to. Beth’s life went from bad to worse when her mother left the family, leaving her with an abusive father who had plans for her that no parent should ever have for their child. Beth decided that she needed to make plans to get her out of the life that she has now. Luckily for Beth she had a lovely neighbour who wanted to take her in but they both knew that that plan would never work, so her neighbour lied and said she was her grandmother so she could change her name. This is how Beth came about and how she came to be in Denver. While in Denver she met KC in the supermarket when KC went into labour, since that day they have been like sisters. After Chamberlain came back into KC’s life to make her happy, he moved Beth to Boston to live with them. Chamberlain helps Beth get into the boxing scene under the Predator group. Unfortunately for Beth Scott becomes her trainer, Beth has never taken to Scott and dislikes the thought of being around him all the time. Fast forwarding to now for Beth, she is in her first season in the featherweight division. She is also taking the featherweight division by storm, currently Beth is going so well she is undefeated, that is until the day her father finds her when she is out having a run. Beth is taken hostage by her father and two other men that is with him causing her to lose her first fight. Before being taken by her father she meets up with her mum after she has been absent from Beths life for years. Beth also notices that her feelings for Scott have changed and as much as she would like to let him into her life, she knows she can’t. How can he begin to love her when she is so broken?

Finding Hope: A Small-Town Beach Romance Book 1 Erin Brockus
Before I get to the book review looked up St Croix, it looks as beautiful as the book describes. As for the water I do not think I have ever seen water so blue or pretty. 44 hours from Australia thinking in the future that might be doable lol. I loved the storyline of book one in this series. The main characters in this book are Hope and Alex. Both Hope and Alex have issues from the past which make it hard for them to even think about being in a relationship with anyone. Issues or not Alex makes for the perfect bbf lol. Hopes life seems to be predictable to others around her she is the only one that dos not see it until she walks into the coffee shop and barista Ashley calls out her usual coffee without her ordering it, this has her thinking that Sara and Kyle could be right. Hopes life is about to be turned upside down when her boyfriend Kyle takes her to her favourite restaurant only to break up with her. To add insult to injury the promotion she was going for was given to someone younger. Hope was not happy and resigned from the job she loved. In the meantime, her younger sister Sara gave her somewhat of a lecture on it was time to change her life a little. Sara also told her about a raffle to win Half Moon Bay Resort in St Croix in the Virgin Islands. Sara knowing Hope would not buy the tickets, bought some for her. A week later Sara phoned her to say she had won the raffle. On hearing the news at first Hope wondered what Sara had done to her, but then thought this could be the change she needed. Steve the current owner of the resort spoke to Hope and was impressed with her. telling her he would remain at the resort for up to six months or less to help her settle. However, on arriving at the resort and introducing herself to Patti the resorts general manager found that Steve had abruptly left the night before without telling anyone. Patti informed Hope that Steve had also disconnected his phone number making him non contactable. The reason behind Steve leaving so abruptly was that he could not be there to hand over the arduous work he and his beloved wife Susan had done with the resort before she passed away. Patti lets Hope know that Steve had left her a letter which she could read when she was ready. Steve had also left a letter for Patti and Alex. Alex was angry that Steve could just up and leave like he had. Hopes concern was that Steve had promised to be there for the transition and now she would have to work things out with the resort by herself. That was until Patti said her and Alex would help her settle with the resort. Just a final part Erin has described some of the diving scenes in a way you can imagine yourself being there. Such a great and easy read, I give this book a 5-star rating.

From Darkness into Love: A Small-Town, Second-Chance Mystery Romance (Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Book 1 By Sophie Bartow
This is the first book I have read by Sophie Bartow, and I have to say I enjoyed the book from start to finish. I am glad I gave this book a go as the cover did not pique my interest very much. Forgetting the cover this book is definitely a 5-star read. Sophie Bartow has written this book in a way the book is easy to read and enjoy as the story develops. This is a second chance romance story set in a coastal town, Cam and Jessie are the main characters in this story and I really did like reading about them, their characters were easy to relate to as were the other characters in this book. Cam and Jessie’s story has romance, drama, twists, and turns, not forgetting the visible chemistry between them both. If you don’t mind reading books that switch been the now and the past, then this is the book for you to read. Not many authors can flip between the now and the past as easy as Sophie Bartow has done in this book. So please do yourself a favour and read this book, you will not be disappointed.

Well, here’s to what is going to be a great series. Lost Hollow is the first great instalment in the Alienville series by Donna S. Frelick. Ok I have to admit it did take me a couple of chapters to get fully into this book, but once I did it is safe to say that I could not wait to turn the page to see what was going to happen next. This book has everything you could want in one book, suspense, drama, twists, and turns and just because the author could there is romance thrown in to the mix. The characters in this book are quite relatable and I am fairly sure you will enjoy reading about them. Claire is on the way to visit her sister Moira, who also happens to be her best friend and twin sister. On the way to visit Moira Claire has to take a detour which takes her to Allenville. The last message Moira received from Claire was to say she would be staying in Allenville for the night and when they continue her journey. How ever it has now been three days since Moira has heard anything from Claire, so Moira leaves her home in West Virginia and travels to Allenville. Moira books into the Traveller’s Rest Inn. While at the Inn Moira asks where she could get some help in finding her sister and is directed to the local police station where she meets the police Chief Seth Call. While Seth has a feeling, he knows what has happened to Claire and with his attraction to Moira he knows he also has to protect his town by keeping the towns secrets. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. This is another 5-star read for me.

The Sins of Men: An American Revolutionary War Drama By Danny J. Bradbury
This is the first historical fiction that I have read and the first book for me by Danny J. Bradbury. I would not normally read this type of book. How ever I did enjoy the book and I would recommend it to those who like historical drama fiction. There are 83 short chapters to this book which are easy to follow. Danny J. Bradbury developed his characters well. I feel there were a couple of areas of this book that didn’t need to be as drawn out as they were, but overall the book was well written. So this book is about a 10 year old boy who in an attempt to feed his brothers and sisters picks the wrong person to try and rob. Because of this he is caught and sent before the magistrate and is sent to prison for ninety days. From there he is then made to serve the military. As I previously said this is not a book I would normally read, but because of the story line, character development I am rating this book 4 stars

This book is full of bright colourful pictures that I am sure the little ones will love. Mouse is determined to fly to the moon to get some cheese. He tells the other farm animals if they help him build a plane he will bring them each back some cheese. All the animals think it is a clever idea, well except for bird. Bird thinks it is an absurd idea to build a plane. All the other animals help build the plane, take off does not go well for mouse at all. Bird swoops down to rescue mouse and tells him it is an absurd idea to build a plane to fly to the moon. Bird tells mouse he needs a rocket. Mouse thinks this is a clever idea and all the animals scramble for parts to build the rocket. For Bird this is not an absurd idea and leads the way to collect what they need to build their rocket.

I have not read anything by Brooke May before and have to say I loved the book. Not sure where to start with so starting by saying it is a 5-star read. There are so many characters in this book that can be written about. Starting with KC’s family, she felt no love from them at all and knew she was the outsider of the family, the only love she felt at home was from the family cook Fiona. Since her parents had wanted a boy, to continue the family powerful legacy. Unfortunately, their son had passed away, so unfortunately for KC this left that legacy in her hands, this is something she wanted no part of. KC was also expected to marry the boring Timothy who was part of another powerful family, but she was having no part of that either. KC wanted to pick her own partner, much to the disgust of her parents. Running late one afternoon she bumps into Chamberlain. She marvels at his height; how big his muscles were and his beautiful blue eyes that reminded her of the ocean. However, her first impression of Chamberlain was that he was arrogant. That is until he takes her for a meal when she realizes that she has judged him wrong. Moving on she meets Amber and Lizzie both girls are pure evil. Amber wants Chamberlain back, while Lizzie is hell bent on getting Chamberlain’s best friend Scott, in the process of this they make KC’s life hell whenever they bump into her. Then we have Gwen she openly admits that she does not like KC, but the feelings are mutual as KC does not trust Gwen. Personally, I think Gwen is in love with Chamberlain, but will let you make up your own mind on that. Scott comes across as a bit of a player but he as a heart of gold and besides Fiona and Chamberlain he is the only people in her life that treat her properly. That is until she meets her Aunt Jackie and her partner. This is where I am leaving this review and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Can not wait to read Predator Part two.

The Handshake Agreement: An Age Gap, Second Chance Romance by A Akinosho
Akinosho is a new author to me. This book was not my cup of tea. However the book has been well written, the characters are likeable. I did find this book ran slow in some parts but ran smoothly in other parts. If you like a book that has twists and turns, some suspense and heart break then I recommend that you read this book. While I have recommended this book to be read by some of you, it is definitely a book that needs to be read in order for you to make up your own mind. On the way the book is written I am rating this book a 4 star.

Homicidal Innocence by V.J. Lee – Review by Sue Kemp This is the first book I have read by VJ Lee, and I have to say that I enjoyed the book from start to finish. If you are some one who loves a thriller with romance chucked in to the mix, then I would highly suggest you read this book. This book has some good twists and turns that it will keep you guessing what is going to happen next. Do not be fooled to think you have worked certain parts of the book all worked out, as the book will prove you wrong. This being my first book by VJ Lee, and I do not normally read thrillers I found the way the book was written held my attention from the second chapter until the end of the book. I do feel that Maya’s weight could have been dealt with once and then forgotten about. That is my only gripe about the book. I am looking forward to reading more of VJ Lee’s work in the future. I am giving this book a 4-star rating.

Bad Enough (The Deadman’s Tribe Series Book 2) by Nicole Craig – Review by Sue Kemp I have not read a book for quite some time, so to come back to read this great book was a treat, there is approximately 420 pages to be delighted with. I have not read book one in this series, but I am going have in order get the background on the characters. We have our two main characters Sylvan who decided to write a book on BDSM and our wonderful TB who is a Dom. To get the information, she needed to write her new book she was put in touch with TB. Now both characters could not be more worlds apart in their lifestyles if they tried. Do not be mistaken with TB being a Dom underneath his tough exterior he has such a gentle heart that makes you just want to get to know him more. Sylvan has such a gentle nature, which would make any man want to care for her. This book is not filtered in certain areas of the book, but it has been so beautifully written you will just want to keep turning the pages to see what is coming up next ion the plot. Let us not also forget the team at Tribe I found these characters miss matched and yet they gel together perfectly as a team, they are a family. If you want an enjoyable read this is the book for you.

Drawing Strength From Words (A Four Horseman Novel Book 2) By C.A. King
Drawing Strength from Words is book two in the A Hour Horseman series. I have read other books by C.A King and I would have to say that this is probably not my favourite. I have to say that I was a little lost reading this book, but then it may have been because I haven’t read book one. On saying that however I do have to say the C.A. King’s writing style of being able to let you get to know the characters is very much on par in this book. I would highly recommend that you start with book one in the series, and I hope you enjoy reading yet another great series by this wonderful author

King – Review by Sue Kemp
The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn, is a dark read for sure. The book is nothing like I thought it was going to be. It messed with my head a little bit and I was glad I read it in the day time, certainly not a night time read for me. This is not the first book I have read by this author but is the first book by her that has had me a little nervous about what is happening on the next page. It will have you wondering what you would do in order to stay alive. This book will be awesome for those who like gruesome stories. But it wasn’t a book for me and is not one of my favourites by Meghan. But I do have to say Meghan has such a way in character building. So if you like dark and gruesome stories you need to read this book.

A Divided MInd is yet another great book by M. Billiter. I really do recommend that this book is read by everyone. What was hard reading this book was the struggle Mary’s son and family were going through in dealing with mental illness. A Divided MInd is based on this struggle that as a family they were going through. What was nice to read was that the son this book is based on had an input into the story which for me made me feel more and get pulled into the story further than I already was from the beginning. SO if you want a heartbreaking yet beautifully written book this is the one book you have to read this month. Thank you, Mary for sharing your story and this book definitely deserves more than five stars

September Breeze (Cinnamon Bay Romance Book 2) By Nikki Lynn Barrett
September Breeze is the first book I have read by this author and I am hoping it won’t be the last. This is a beautiful story of an up and coming song writer by the name of Tess, a widower by the name of Brian and his two daughters Tatum and Alice. Tess has arrived in Cinnamon Bay to write songs for a movie that is being shot there. While in a cafe the towns matchmakers over hear her say she needs another job and a place to live while she is here. They hand her an old add that has been written by the girls for someone to help their dad. This is how Tess meets Brian and his girls when she goes to check out the house and inadvertently gets interviewed by Brian. Little does she know that getting this job is going to change her life in a very big way. Because of something that happened in her past Tess doesn’t stay anywhere too long. But now she has found love for Brian and the girls, she doesn’t know whether to stay or go. Will she tell Brian what has happened in her past? Or will the love she has for this family be enough for her to stay?

The Confectioners Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series By Claire Luana
The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1) The Confectioner’s Guild by Claire Luana is the first book in the Confectioner Chronicles series. I have to say I loved the prequel and this book is written just as well. The writing style of this author is quite enjoyable. The series is aimed at the YA readers but can be enjoyed by us adults as well. The author has made the characters in this book quite enjoyable and its was a pleasure to have read this book and I do look forward for more instalments. In this book we have mystery, magic and cooking. Not your normal mixture in a book but it works well. So, grab yourself a copy of the book and have an enjoyable time in getting to know not only the characters but the authors wonderful way of telling a story.
The Confectioner’s Coup The Confectioners Coup is the second book in the Confectioner Chronicles series by Claire Luana. If you enjoyed the first book, then this book will not disappoint you at all. Get yourself ready to meet new characters which you will either like or dislike, but they help make this book enjoyable. I will say this book contains so much sadness and may take you on a roller coaster of emotions. But on saying that it has a few twists and turns that you want to keep turning the page. Book one is my favorite so far in this series, but I am looking forward to book three and a nicer ending.
The Confectioner’s Truth The Confectioner’s Truth is the third and final book this series. Please don’t start with book three I wouldn’t recommend them read a standalone. We have the pleasure of meeting some new characters in this book, each one I feel enhances the storyline. Wren went through some time in self-doubt and tries to learn from mistakes she has made. Will she be able to learn and not make the same mistakes again? The only thing I did question was why so many couples, but all in all I enjoyed the book. The thing I liked about this series is I found most of the characters to have their own strengths, I could be wrong but that’s my personal opinion! I really liked how Claire just kept building up this series, sometimes I find the last book in a series to be disappointing, but not with this book. The Confectioner’s Truth has ended this series perfectly. I would also recommend anyone and everyone to read this series, you won’t be disappointed.
The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella The Confectioner’s Exile is the prequel in the Confectioners Chronicles series by Claire Luana. This novella you find will be a nice quick read and you will find it gives the background of Hale and when he joined the guild. Yes, this novella is short, but you will still find twists and turns, love and some adventure. I did enjoy the novella and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.

Legacy of Luck: Druid’s Brooch Series: #3 By Christy Nicholas Legacy of Luck is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas. This series are the only books I have read by this author and I have to say I have not been disappointed, Christy has a way of writing that really grabs you and makes you want to keep reading just to see what is happening. The thing I like about Legacy of luck is the story doesn’t start with a bang, it slowly builds up and in my opinion gives a chance of getting to the characters much better. It’s good to read another book with a female character as a main, but also making her a strong character enhanced the story. In this book we have romance and action a plenty. This book can also be read as a stand alone with ease. I highly recommend that this series is read, like me you will enjoy it I am sure.
