My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Miracle In Muffin: A True Story by Darlene Duemo. This is a lovely true story about a woman and her missing cat. During the search she finds her faith in God answers her prayer and she finds Muffin. This is a very Christian faith based book for kids around the ages of 6-18. I really enjoyed it and I read it to my 5 year old nephew and he enjoyed it. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is as well. Being a Christian I could relate to this book in all the ways but if someone is not I could see how they wouldn’t connect. I think its a important book for kids if their families practice the Christian faith.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Tausha Treadway

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran. This is the second installment in the Savage Duet series and I would highly recommend reading the 1st book before this one. This book picks right up from the first book and is the continuing story of Ava being kept prisoner by Kingston (King). Ava is attracted to King even though she doesn’t want to be. King has always collected things and Ava is no exception. He is so attracted to her that he wants to protect her which is unusual for King. I felt like Ava was stronger in the first part of the book and in the second she was more defeated and just accepting her fate. Ava also learns that she can’t trust a lot of people that she thought she could including some of her own family. In the second part of the book we also see some of Kings background including he and his brother being abused by their father. Which makes things more understandable in the way he treats people. When King is injured Ava has to make a decision, does she stay or leave. Such a good read!

Sasha Smart: Short Stories for GirlsSasha Smart: Short Stories for Girls by Shermaine Perry-Knights
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sasha Smart by Shermaine Perry-Knights. This is an amazing collection of short stories for girls aged 8-12 that are inspiring, uplifting and so full of self love. I so wish I had this book when I was young. The biggest focus of this book is self acceptance and self love, which is so important for young kids especially young girls today. Each story is a different problem young girls might go thru and they really focus on communication with their parents. The stories are about bravery, peer pressure, loving yourself and being positive. We all have bad things in our lives but how we react to them are 1/2 the battle. I think these stories would be great for teachers and parents alike. Every girl in this age group should get this book. I’m buying all the girls in my family one! This set of stories would make the prefect gift!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Song of Earth and Claws (Faelands Series) by Lena Abram. This is a fae, romance and it is loaded with information that you need to know but kind of bogged down the first little bit of the book. You have to really pay attention to keep all the players in line and where they fit into the story. The romance part focuses on Lannahi and Ashared. Lannahi is in the game to become the leader and the games are a big part of the story. Lannahi doesn’t want to be leader but for the sake of her family she has to try and being betrayed by someone she though was her friend is heartbreaking. Lannahi is afraid she has taken on more than she can handle but she also knows if she doesn’t at least try she and her family will be destroyed. There are all kinds of danger around every corner including, fantasy, romance, fae, shape shifters and mystery, Its a deep book but if you stick with it you will enjoy the games and seeing if Lannahi can save herself and her people and marry the love of her life which is all she really wants!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 3) by Via Mari. I love this author so much and I enjoy everything she writes. This book was no exception. These 2 additions were amazing. In Elusive I loved Alexis and Sheldon. Alexis is little more independent than Sheldon wants as he is looking for a submissive but she has all the other attributes he’s looking for. When someone wants to harm Alexis, Sheldon will do whatever it takes to protect her. Sheldon is such a great guy and the chemistry between him and Alexis is sizzling. In Tenacious, Allie & Nick have such chemistry but Allie doesn’t want to be hurt and doesn’t want to end up a single mom like her mom was. Nick is a dominant but he is crazy about Allie and has such a soft side with her. He will do anything in the world for her if only she would give him her heart! These are such good reads and I can’t wait for the next!

There is a fight against Valentino the strongest Vampire of them all. Samuel and a new vampire Julia are leading the fight against Valentino. The battle is intense and seems to get very risky.

Beware when you start reading be prepared to finish because you won’t want to put it down!

The Alien & the Crime Boss by Naomi Valkyrie. This is a great sci fi, m/m romance. I love this author and try to read everything they write so I wasn’t surprised I enjoyed it. Its the story of Kasper Kingston who is on a mission to shut down the two main crime families and take over for them. Leliphun is an alien who has been kicked out of his kingdom and the leaders there want to put him in the fighting ring he has no intention of fighting so he leaves and vows to never return.

When he awakens he is questioned by Kasper but Kasper doesn’t believe any of his answers. Kasper is attracted to Leliphun and has to decide if he can trust him enough to help him or will he end up being the death of Kasper. Leliphun has to decide if he really wants to stay on this planet or does he want to try to go home? Read this fast paced romance to find out!
