Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Considering that I am a fan of history, mystery, and young adult book genres, this was a perfect book for me. Not to mention it is the second book in the series so I was excited to see what would happen next. I was not disappointed. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of this novel as the author truly kept me in suspense. Did I say I wasn’t disappointed? I LOVED IT! The main character is phenomenal. To me, she is the female Sherlock Holmes. And the story took me back to the days of reading Nancy Drew. I absolutely enjoyed the trip back to Chicago in the 1800’s that this book carried me on. I am already waiting to see where the next mystery will take me in this book series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Notebook Mysteries – Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins was such a fun read. Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres to read. I was very excited to find one combined with mystery. I haven’t read book 1, I plan to go back and read it. Decisions and Possibilities can be read by itself or as the 2nd book in the series. The attention to detail is great. I could picture myself there. I felt like I learned a lot about the era and how things worked, especially about the technology used at the time. And my favorite part! The recipes that are included. I haven’t been able to try any yet, but I am excited too!

Rowan is such a fun princess who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. When she and her cousin are captured in enemy territory, Rowan must meet with clan leaders who will decide her fate. She travels with her captors, Duke Iiro, Duchess Inessa, and Lord Theodore. Throughout their journey, Rowan shows strength, bravery, and determination to make it back home. The romance, fun, and cliffhanger at the end have me ready for more!

This book was absolutely amazing. I devoured it in about two days and happily neglected my responsibilities to do so!

The characters- they are just wonderful and animated. I adore Rowan’s hilarious witty remarks and Theo’s exasperation at her antics. I had a few good laughs and still chuckle at the thought of “weather toe”.

I’m fully invested in this series and am prepared to further neglect adult responsibilities to see what happens next. November 2021 can’t come soon enough for book 2 to come out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stars, this book is truly enthralling.
Scarlett is the lovable and incorrigible princess of Lochlann who finds herself in enemy territory, facing potential death. When she befriends Lord Theodore, she must call into question everything she believes is true. Are the Socairans really so different?
Scarlett Princess is a highly enjoyable read that I found myself unable to put down. I read it in one day, and once finished, found myself immediately searching for book two in the installment.
This novel has something for everyone, with battle scenes, a strong female lead, slow-burn romance, world-building, witty humor, and delightful characters.
Highly recommended!

Wow let me tell you, this book was so intriguing! This book is the setup to this series so this book is very heavy on world building but it does not slow it down at all! Sometimes when authors have so much to set up and that it requires loads of world building it can be complicated to maintain reader engagement. Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison however did so fantastic and I never felt like I was struggling to read or stay engaged, I was quite the opposite actually I couldn’t put the book down! I can’t wait to read the next book. This is going to be such a great series, I feel it in my bones! Read this book, I really can’t recommend this book enough!

Scarlet Princess (Lochlann Feuds Book 1) by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison is just purely and simply amazing. I loved this book from the very first sentence to the very last word. Rowan is a second generation Lochlann and this book takes place about 20 years after Robin D. Mahle’s and Elle Madison’s book Lochlann Treaty. While you could read the first book it is not a necessity as Ms. Mahle and Ms. Madison gives us a great plot, a fiery, feisty, and full of attitude princess, as well as other fantastic characters. While this is my first reading by these two I am quickly learning that they love to leave their readers with a cliffhanger, and this reader for one can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is the first book that I have read written by Robin and Elle and I think that I have found a new favorite series! The characters are amazing. I found myself getting lost in Rowan’s character. I laughed and found myself cheering her on in this wonderful adventure that took place in front of my eyes and in my imagination. I found myself absolutely awed and did not want this book to end. And the cliffhanger! All I can say is bravo!! I cannot wait to read more!

5⭐

I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down it was so good and I’m a little miffed that I have to wait for the next one as there was a cliffhanger ending!!
Princess Rowan of Lochlann is the type of girl I could be friends with. She’s quirky, outspoken, desire driven and has a heart that is surprisingly bigger than her mouth. She’s also really good at landing herself in trouble which is where we start off in this story.
She is captured by her family’s enemies, the Elk Clan of the Socarian people. These two regions have had conflict since before Rowan was born, so she finds herself at odds between how she feels and how she should feel as Lord Theodore, the heir to Elk Clan escorts her to her freedom or her demise. I definitely cannot wait for the next book and will have that preorder button set for sure!

GREAT start to a trilogy I look forward to devouring. I was hooked from the start, when we meet our rebel princess being captured in enemy lands after an attempt to smuggle contraband alcohol. She is a sassy, brave, and intelligent girl of 17, who is entangled in the Socairan justice system, which is much more heavy-handed than her own. She attempts to pretend to be as demure as the women of Socair, but can she hold her tongue long enough to be set free? This was a great journey, loved watching Rowan cause the men to blush and being anything but the well-trained lady. Loved the characters, including the friend she makes from another Socair clan, and the villain who angles for her death. Very well-written, great heroine, and fun plot. I’m going to have to go back and read the other books from the Lochlann Treaty!

Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Notebook Mysteries is the second book in the Decisions and Possibilities series. It centers around 18 year old Emma Evans. It is technically in the Young Adults genre of reading, but anyone would enjoy this book. While this book does stand alone, it references what happened in the first book several times, so it would be best to read the books in order. I really enjoy historical fiction, and I enjoyed the mystery in this book as well. Emma is observant and sweet while still being direct. It’s the perfect read if you like mysteries and/or historical fiction!

Wow!! Okay where to start? I absolutely loved this storyline from start to finish, I read it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. I was so captivated by the storyline and unfortunately for me the ending came much too quickly. I literally cannot wait for Book 2!!

This is one of those stories that sticks with you long after the last page, it’s beautifully detailed, intense, sweet, dramatic, witty and really just a true page turner. I was swept up into the storyline right from the get go and was held captive until the very end. I highly highly recommend this book to anyone looking for their next one of a kind read.

I usually read romance, but not fantasy romance. This was my first fantasy romance novel and I enjoyed it a lot. It’s very easy for someone who’s not used to the vocab (I had to look up what fae was) to enjoy. I enjoyed the way this book was clean, but not boring. It didn’t seem too corny either. I can’t wait to read more of this author and genre!

Really loved Emma! She is strong, tenacious, and a defender of the weak. She is also a lady ahead of her time, and love the example she sets for younger women in this novel. I didn’t know there was another book before this one. I felt like I missed a lot. I would def encourage anyone to start with book one. I found the cases and the action really great – loved the plot. My only complaint was the narrator breaking into the story.

Okay, so I am seriously about to try the german cheesecake from the wonderful recipes in the back! I absolutely loved this story. This is this first book I’ve read from this series and I am definitely going back to read the first book. Emma , a strong willed 18 year old, has a knack for finding and solving mysteries. This story will find you right alongside Emma putting clues together. She has such a heart for helping people that you just continuously root for her to figure It all out! Every single character adds just enough of their own unique style to just make the book work. This story will keep you guessing till every clue finally finds its place. If you love historical mysteries this is the series for you!!

What a delightful mystery! The characters are fantastic and each is original. I love how easy the story is to follow The narrator part is just to easy to follow. There is just the right amount of action to help keep the boys or girls enthralled. An abuse shelter for women also keeps the story realistic and down to earth. Truly a wonderful good. Highly recommend it

I didn’t realise before I started this that this is a sequel so I would probably recommend reading the first book beforehand. In any case, I caught on to Emma, the main character and the wide cast of characters. I liked this YA tale of an 18-year-old solving mysteries in 1880s Chicago, at a time when women were meant to be seen, not heard. I also really enjoyed all the historical details that were weaved into the story. Because there are several cases that Emma solves, there were a few time jumps and new characters introduced rapidly, but it kept the story moving. Cosy mystery!

Notebook Mysteries – Decisions and Possibilities is a brilliant YA story with a twist of the Sherlock Homes and Murdoch Mysteries vibe story with a brilliant main character and a tapestry of mysteries along the way makes this an exciting read.

Emma is a brilliant scholar and business woman with her inventions getting her recognition but with her its her hobby as a amateur sleuth which is getting more momentum and with her next adventure can she solve the crime and bring the suspect to justice.

This is the first book I have read by this author and realised this is the second book regarding this character and loved each word. I am a big crime fan and it was nice to have a easy read but full of twists and turns which has you guessing as you read and working with Emma to find the suspects. I love that this is set in the 1800’s a the backdrop adds another element to the story, Emma is spunky and full of action I love the way she is such a strong character and works hard to be the best she can in whatever she wants.

This is a great easy read story with brilliant twists and turns I love the character of Emma and love to read more in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It was exciting and captivating from the first page to the last. I loved the romance element. How two people fall in love when they really shouldn’t. The author does an amazing job bring the characters to life. Princess Rowan is a great character. I like her because she is headstrong and very strong willed. She has a great sense of humour which comes through the pages.

Princess Rowan is a risk taker and when she takes a risk, her and her cousin end up getting captured by a rival clan. Now facing the realisation that she may lose her life she plans to enjoy the time she has left. What she doesn’t expect is to fall on love with a man from this rival clan.

Unable to deny their feelings they have some problems to cover come. Namely will this clan ever accept Rowan as one of their own or will the union between the couple start off another war between both sides  or could it finally be the things to bring the sides together and for peace?

This was such a fun book to read. Princess Rowan is most likely the black sheep of the family who has the right amount of sass and is an out-spoken, strong willed, independent princess who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble with her cousin Davin usually by her side. She falls in love with Lord Theodore who is everything a backwards Socairan Lord should be but finds a soft spot for the fairy Princess.
Scarlet Princess is a romantic, high fantasy adventure that I enjoyed so much that I could not put down. The writing and editing are great, allowing the story to be truly immersive. The twist and turns that this book took was incredible and always made you guess as to what was going to happen next.
This book leaves you on a cliff hanger and you will be wanting more. It was an amazing read, and so very easy to get sucked into the story line and get lost in. I love how the story was written, which is what captivated me into it. The writing and technique truly spoke for itself and I anxiously am awaiting to see what unfolds in the next book in this amazing series! I would recommend this book and look forward to the next.

I enjoyed this fantasy story. These are two new authors for me which I enjoyed and look forward to reading more from them in the future. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters from the beginning. They took me on an adventure like no other. They are relatable as well as keep the story engaging. The author’s attention to details gave the story a fun, realistic feeling which brought the story to life. I found this story to be fast paced and full of adventure. This is a story about Rowan. She knows who she is and where her place is in this world until now. She now finds herself an outsider and in a relationship with a captor that takes a turn she never sees coming. What happens next, I highly recommend reading this book to find out. They are great characters that truly made the story for me. I really enjoyed Rowan and what she brought to the story. This is a great story that I don’t regret picking up and neither will you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scarlet Princess is a historical romance about an unorthodox, free spirited princess who is feared by many because of her scarlet hair. After being captured for “stealing”, her captive recognizes that there is something about her, and even with all her “flaws” he is intrigued. She is a “prisoner” with a culture that is very far off from what she is used to and has to adhere to some of their ways while they determine her fate. I really enjoyed this story and cannot wait to read the whole series. I really fell in love with the two main characters, Rowan and Theo. Rowan has a teasing way about her that is captivating. I see a lot of myself in her character – I can only play by the rules for so long till I need to say something and defend what I believe. One way I knew I really loved this book was the fact that I read it in a day, and in the morning I was still smiling and repeating quotes in my head while feeling all warm and fuzzy!!

Truly interesting tale of romance among two kingdoms that hate each other. Princess Rowan and her cousin are busted for stealing vodka. Of all things, vodka? I love this, actually. In most stories, its’s jewels or high price items but the vodka makes it feel a little more real. The characters feel real because Princess Rowan is having to overcome these feelings of how she grew up. It’s a book that makes you think. Highly recommend.

I had fun reading this book about a strong willed young woman. The character didn’t let herself be bullied or get discouraged when being told no. Emma was a very likeable character and a nice refreshing heroine of sorts doing things that may have certainly been punishable during the time period this book is set in. When Emma kept getting rejection after rejection when applying to business school I felt her frustration through the pages. Having been born in the 20th century with all the rights we as women have I couldn’t imagine growing up in the time this book is set. I do highly recommend this book for anyone that likes to get lost in another world for a while.
