The Truth About Myths (The Winemakers Book 3) by Giovanna Siniscalchi. This is such a good Historical romance, I really enjoyed it. Its the story of Princess Isabel who is very rigid almost to the point of being a prude but when she goes to Spain with Viscount Henrique she is very enthralled by him. He is so sexy and everything she has tried to stay away from. Henrique is tasked with taking Isabel who is his best friends sister and he is not looking forward to it. He is known for being a rake and not being faithful but when he gets to know Isabel he thinks she might be able to change his ways.

Hell In A Handbasket (Life is Hell Book 3) by Naomi Valkyrie. This is the 3rd installment in the Life is Hell series and its just as good as the 1st and 2nd if not better. I love Naomi Valkyrie so anything she writes I try to read. Its still set in Juniper Lake that seems so serene and peaceful but is anything but that. This is the story of Oren and Teivel who we met in the previous books but not much was told about them. Oren is a demon hunter who turns to demon Teivel for help in his training. He has tried to find anyone but Teivel but couldn’t come up with anyone else. This ends up being a mess for Oren because he is still a little new to the idea of being a Hunter and he also find Teivel a little attractive! The two have chemistry for days! This story is full of danger, mystery, family and romance. You won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough. Do yourself a favor and read them in order. You will be so glad you did!

Breaking Apart (Finnerty and Liccione Mystery Series) by Wanda Venters, MD and Mary Rae, MD. This is such a good 2nd book in the Finnerty and Liccione Mystery series. It can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them in order to get a better understanding of the characters. This is a very good book on a very serious subject, our veterans and the lack of health/mental care they receive. After one of the vets completes suicide, his wife just refuses to believe he would do that. After digging into the matter two doctors look into the very violent death of this solider and what they discover is heartbreaking. There is prescription scam that is so ugly involving a very bad drug that finds very important people trying to keep this under wraps. The Dr’s themselves may be in danger. Such a tragic and sad story about the very people who risk their lives for our country. They certainly deserve better. Will the soldiers family find peace with the news the Doctors uncover?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Touched: Elemental Passions Book One by Skye Turner, Sloane Nicole, April D. Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon. This is the first book 8in the Elemental Passions Series. Its the story of Aeris a fae who is very intrigued by everything but especially humans outside of Laric. Her brother Cyrus has warned her against this but she still sneaks out and watches them without them knowing or so she thinks. There is one human who can actually see her and asks her if she is ok. Callum Is a police detective and he is concerned for Aeris and asks her if he can help her. Aeris does this only think she knows, she flees! While Callum is on a case he accidentally hits Aeris with his vehicle. No one can see her except for Callum. Aeris heals herself and Callum convinces her to go for a ride with him because he is drawn to her. In the middle of them seeing each other a storm comes up and Aeris is ripped from Callum and she knows she’s in trouble because her father is the one bringing her back home. Callum is part Sylph and didn’t really know what that meant until he met Aeris. Will they be able to makes their very different worlds co exist? With so many authors I was a little concerned this story wouldn’t flow well but it was sooo good!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stop that Lion (Kingdom of Mir Series) by Lois Wickstrom. This is by my favorite children’s author and my nephew and I loved it. Its the story of the Kingdom of Sher & the Kingdom of Mir being neighbors and the Kingdom of Sher’s Lion keeps eating the Kingdom of Mir’s sheep. Wynnie a young girl who lives in the Kingdom of Sher tries to find a good solution to this problem. The King of Mir has tasked his citizens with finding a solution to the problem and whoever finds a good solution will be the King’s advisor. There are always lessons to learn in Ms. Wickstrom’s books and the lesson in this one is understanding and learning to listen. The illustrations are beautiful along with the story, its a perfect book for your young kids!
