Pearls - BonSue Brandvik What a prefect book to read for the Halloween season. If you are looking for a book that has paranormal without being scary then check out this book. The author picked a wonderful location to write a beautiful story. I started reading this book Wednesday around 1pm I finished this book a little after 3pm. Granted, I admit that I am a fast reader. However, this book just captures the reader and never let's go. Always something keeps the reader's attention. With the romance and the paranormal mystery wrapped up in this book classifies it as a winner for me.

Thanks for an amazing and very interesting read BonSue.

Curveball - Jen Estes Reading this book provided just what I need a warm climate and some baseball. Granted I am a Cardinals Fan (ok don’t shoot me) but still it was a nice chance to see inside about baseball. If you read the author’s bio, you will realize that she once worked in the industry. If you are a fan of baseball and looking for a warm place to wander in your mind, then read this book.

Yes, you will have a love-hate relationship with Paige. Fall in love with Cat and cheer when everything goes right. I did not know this was a series until I was writing this review. However, with not reading the first book in the series does not matter. Readers will be able to follow this story without getting lost in the story. To me (and the bunnies) it read like a stand-alone.

Thanks for a great read Jen.

Mother of Pearl - Kellie Coates Gilbert I honestly do not know how to review this book. I was blow away while reading. I could have finished this book in one sitting. However, I got to one part of this book crying so much I had to stop reading. I laid this book aside for about two weeks and picked it back up. I finished the book but my heart ached. I do not know how the author was able to do it but I became Barrie while reading. I could actually picture myself doing the same thing to protect my child.

This book should be necessary read for all parents. While reading it parents will realize not take their child for granted. To cherish each day, to spend more time, to try and understand what the child is going through and above all love the child unconditionally. To remember what it was like at the age your child is when something major is happening, to learn from your child. Yes, parents often forget that not only are children learning from us by our action but also we learn from them.

Some readers might say this parent takes protecting to a different level. However, I see it as making sure I did everything in my power to protect my child. To trust my gut instinct and to know that it does not hurt to be overprotective. Yes, the child may rebel but to as a parent you will know that the child has been taught the difference between right and wrong. As a parent, you will learn that the rebellion is just their way of proving they have control over their life.

Carrying a child for 9 months in the womb forms a bond that a father will never have with a child. A bond goes beyond being a parent. A bond that is not just instinct to protect. It is a bond that a mother will do anything to protect, save, and even right a wrong that was made against our child. Is it animal instinct, well some might say it is, while others will say it is just part of being a mother.

In this book the author proved that a mother’s bond is strong than anything life throws out. A mother would conquer anything in the world single-handedly, to protect her daughter. Even when everyone around her was telling her to let it go to know that, she had to right a wrong against her daughter. Yes several times in the book people keep telling the mother to let it go, to give it to God. However, the mother does not listen or just refuses to believe that any being could understand her loss, her pain, or even her suffering.

I hope this book will reach all parents with children. To learn from the mistakes the author wrote in the character Barrie. Yes, it proves that no matter the upbringing every child will rebel in some way. However, we as parents need to learn why they are rebelling and not just focus on the rebelling, to learn to give the problems over to a higher power and just Let Go, and Let God.

Read this book and take a look at your parenting skills. You will walk away with a new look on how you are raising your child and I hope that you will change, learn to treasure the child.

The gist of my review:
Would I recommend this book? Yes!
Should you read this book? Yes!
Thanks for a wonderful heartbreaking read Kellie

One Wrong Move - Shannon McKenna I started reading this book while waiting on someone during traffic court, over 3-hours later still sitting in court and I had read almost half the book. Does a fast reading book mean that it is not worth reading? No, not to me, it means that the book is well written and has captured my attention refusing to let go. If you are looking for a book with a little more charge, a little more characters and plot that will capture your attention then grab a book by Shannon.



Shannon starts this book out strong. The characters are strong with tendencies to annoy each other. I enjoy reading about strong characters especially female characters that emerge from a cocoon like a butterfly. When an author takes a character and slowly reveals their true beauty the book becomes more than just something to read.



The author took Nina and slowly emerged her. She then took Aaro and drew him from his self-imposed hiding. These two characters did not just totally mesh they belonged to each other. Yes, I know, in fiction an author can usually make anything work. However, the character needs the correct development. Well again, the author did not let the reader down. Shannon not only created a great story she created characters that can be related to with feelings, thoughts and actions.



When reading this book the main thought that kept running through is something like this possible in real life? No, sorry I will not tell you about that. If interested read the book. Yes, I can be mean that way. I loved the way the author developed the characters. They were willing to not just step out of their comfort zone they actually tried to do anything possible to protect the other.



This is a modern day story. There is not time-travel involved just a little paranormal. However, paranormal may mean something different to everyone. This story takes place over 3 days. I know you are wondering how 3 days can take up so many pages without there being a bunch of information that you do not need. Well, first thing all the information is needed to fully understand the plot, how it develops and slowly comes to an amazing ending.



If you love romance with a little extra then check out this book. Shannon has wrote an amazing series that can be read together or as a stand-alone. I have not read the first book in the series. However, I know what my next purchase will be. It will be another book by Shannon McKenna.



Thanks for an amazing and very interesting read Shannon.

The publisher provided me a copy of this book in-exchange for an honest review.
The Wanting Heart - Rionna Morgan This book swept me away. I love reading romance books especially when they offer a little suspense twist just makes them so much more interesting.

This book is filled with suspense and mystery. It is not just a hug and kiss romance book. Yes it has that also but more. Readers are you looking for a book that will carry you on a trip filled with suspense, mystery, love, hurt, forgiveness and more. Well look no further. This book has all of that and more. I read the other day that any book is to short when you do not want it to end. Well, this is one of those books. I did not want it to end.

Kate and Blake carry readers on a trip with old hurts. Hurts that are hard to over look and forgive. However, love and forgiveness prevail in the end. When reading be prepared to be sweep away and wonder what happened to your day.

Thanks for a great read Rionna.

A Practical Arrangement - Nadja Notariani I admit that I love the cover on this book. It is perfect for the story within. This book captured me with the first chapter. I was fascinated with this book. When reading I got a sense that the author had stepped from the time when Jane Austen was writing. Yes, I compared this modern author to someone over a century ago.

I love the Evangeline’s character. She was so strong, but she was also, needed someone like Thomas in her life. Someone that would treat her like the wonderful person is truly is.

If you are looking for a sweet wonderful read that feels like it come from the Jane Austen then check this one out. A short sweet read that would fulfill what you are looking for in a book.

Thanks for a great read Nadja.

Binding Arbitration - Elizabeth Marx I fell in love with the cover of this book. It just captures a person’s attention and says ‘Read Me’. I had to read it. I admit that starting out that I had a hard time keeping focused on this book. However, after the 3rd or 4th chapter I was completely hooked. I was in the process of doing some work on my computer and while waiting I picked up the book to read some more. I read for 2 hours before I realized how much time had passed.

Yes, I am one of those people that I could be sitting next in a rock concert and get lost in my reading. I get so lost I do not know when people are talking to me. So, many of my co-workers just do not understand. My co-workers ask all the time what can be so interesting in a book. Well, I admit that I am horrible at writing reviews but I know a great book when I read one and this was one of those.

I admit to not agreeing with the author that this is a Chick-Lit book. It is more than that. It is a story about taking responsibility, moving on from the past, going forward, and learning to forgive. If you are looking for a book that will take you away for several hours a day then check out this book.

Thanks for a great read Elizabeth.

The Dating intervention - Lynn C. Ricci This was an interesting book. It took me back to the time I found out the same things about my ex and the divorce. I admit to not getting back into the dating game. It is just too much hassle.

While I enjoyed the book, I have a few problems with the editing. Here is a sentence from the book: Christmas dinner became a big engagement celebration. The remainder of the trip was all about wedding plans. Everyone wanted a summer wedding accept her but what did that matter? The author used accept instead of except. The author explains everything in vivid detail. I personally feel that the book has too much detail.

While this book has lots of promise, I think it could be better if the author has a professional editor work on it.

Thanks for a good read Lynn.

Everlasting Love (Forest Ridge,#3) - Rosemary Indra WOW. What a fast great read. This book is around 90 pages and so interesting. It has some romance with a little mystery/crime on the side. The author captured the characters and made me want them to win. If you are looking for a fast intriguing read then this is the book you have been looking for.

Miranda is seeking solitude to finish her book. Her friend Abby as loaned her a cabin in the woods to help her find the solitude she is looking for.

Kevin is looking for something that is missing in his life. He is an officer on the police force and lost his partner a little over a year ago. He is wondering if he should be in a different line of work.

When these two meet it is almost like the reader can see the fireworks. They are so turned on by each other. Kevin and Miranda talk about everything and nothing. They each help the other out with the problems they are facing. When these two people come together it is like they have found there other half. They find everything that has been missing in there life.

This book has romance with Kevin and Miranda. However there is some crime and mystery involved with Kevin. This book would make a great beach read.

Thanks for a great read Rosemary.

Angie of the Garden - J. E. Hall Did that book description catch your interest? I know it sounds great right. Well, let me tell you the description did not do justice to this book. It was amazing. I am going to describe the book and I hope I do not give anything away.

The book starts out with one of the main characters being alerted by his gardener that someone is sleeping on his lawn. He walks out and learns that the person is his brother. He invites his brother in and learns that he is homeless and jobless. Hollis sends his brother to retrieve the diary of Angie Barton from a friend. After that, he encounters Angie in his garden.

First off, if you like ghost or mystery books then I highly believe you will love this one. It is not a long book. I read it in about 2.5 hours. However, I was really into reading this and did not want to stop. I admit that I did read while on the tractor. Thankfully, I did not run into any sinkholes in the field while reading.

The author does give some hints in the book if you are paying attention you will realize what is happening. That is all of a spoiler you will get.

While reading I felt like I was watching an intense show with Dr. Phil. Someone, that only wanted to help another person overcome his or her problems. As the author said in an interview he wanted people to think about the possibility of life after death. Well, I can honestly say he did that with this book.

Thanks for a great read J.E.

The Voyeur - Kay Jaybee I like a book that starts out strong in the beginning. This book starts out strong and does not hold anything back. It keeps going strong until the end. The characters and plot is well developed.

Anya and Clara are in the employment of Mark. Anya is a personal assistant, while Clara is a housekeeper. Each of these females is bi-sexual. Mark prefers voyeurism with some strong BDSM thrown in.

The story starts out with Mark telling the females to get ready they are going to mark Fantasy 12 off his list. Each female has written on their back all fantasies that have been completed. Remember these fantasies are Mark’s not the female characters.

I am trying to understand Mark’s character. To me he seems like he prefers being abusive more than making sure his submissive is well treated and pleasured. However, it is later revealed that he is more concerned about their pleasure than what is let on at the beginning.

This book may seem like all sex, bondage and everything else but it is more. Kay has created an intriguing book that defiles the ordinary sex book on the market. She has taken characters that are strong and turned them into a submission with loyalty for Mark. It seems like the females would complete anything Marks ask of them.

Yes, there is lots of sex, bondage, whips, and more in this book. Be prepared to an interesting night with your partner while reading.

Thanks for a great read Kay.

Journey in Time - Chris Karlsen I read the blurb for this book and knew I had to read it. Granted I have read this author’s work in the past so I knew it would be great. I loaded the pdf copy to my Kindle and the format got messed up. I then loaded the format to my Nook same thing. I tried my iPad and iPhone same thing. When viewed the pdf file on my computer everything was fine. For some strange reason, that I have yet to figure out, I could only read this book on the computer. Well, sad to say my eyes could not stare at the computer screen reading this book. I emailed the tour company asking for a different format. Within a few hours, this wonderful author has gifted me a Kindle copy. Was I surprised, yes, but then again Chris is an amazing author that writes a fabulous tale.

If you enjoy historical or medieval romance then you really need to read this book. After reading, the above excerpt does not sway you to want this book then read on, I hope my review will. This book is about love that will travel the test of time. This love goes from present century back more than 600 years, turns around with a flash, and is back in the present.

I know many people do not like time-travel in their romance book however this is not your ordinary time-travel. This is not just one person ending up in some distance past not knowing anything. Two people have traveled together. He is originally from the past; while she has only lived in the future. Yes, I know you are wondering why I am rambling. Well, I truly loved this book. I read this book in about 5 hours. I know it would not of took me that long but I was working during that time also.

You are probably asking yourself why I loved this book. Well, today this author allowed me to travel from present time London to 14th century England and back. I could see everything the author described in the book. The horses, the keep, the King’s court, everything, and I almost could smell the sweat from humans and horses. Yes, reading this book was great; the reader will leave the present in a flash and be in 14th century England. Who would not want to read something that will take them back in time? I know I did. What about you, will you read this book?

Chris I have read some of your work in the past but I have to say this is the best book by far. I do not know how you did it, but you took me on a journey I will not forget. Keep writing you have a talent that cannot be ignored. Thanks for an amazing read.

Gallagher's Hope - M.K. McClintock I do not normally read historical romance books that are set in America. I prefer reading the historical romance book’s set in England. However, after reading this book I might just change my mind at least for this author. MK has written a book that grabs the reader’s attention and refuses to let go.

Isabella is trying to overcome the death of her parents while trying to take care of her little brother Andrew. She has taken a teaching position in Montana. She is moving away from everything she has every known and every person. However the people that she once called friends will not see or speak with her any longer. However, as I always say when something like this happens in real life, “Their loss, and your gain.”

Gabriel is the middle child whose parents were cattle ranchers. Okay, I admit this is one part of history I would love to go back and experience. Can you imagine going on a cattle drive, thousands and thousands of miles on horseback, sleeping under the stars, cooking over an open flame, not having to worry about being anywhere but behind the cattle. Gabriel sounds like a man that would help anyone in need. In my mind, he is tall well over 6 foot, sandy blond hair, light gray eyes, nothing but muscle, with a heart of gold.

Gabriel meets Isabella and is intrigued by her and Andrew. He wonders what their story is and why they seem to be running from the past. Isabella is just trying to lead a normal life, to allow Andrew to grow up in to a wonderful person and give him an education.

This is the second book in the series. I have not had a chance to read the first book. However it is in the TBR pile. With that being said, click on over to Amazon and get this book. I am so glad I read this book. The author gives the readers just enough information to make you wonder about the first series. She makes it sound so interesting. Yes, a lot of the characters are carried over from the first book, but that is the best part about a series. Readers get to find out what happened to the pervious characters. The only drawback I found to this book was I cannot wait for the third book. I will have to change my TBR pile around to read the first book in the series.

Thanks for a great read MK. The bunnies and I enjoyed reading your work.

freefall - Susan Rae Okay I admit the title of this book said “Read Me” when I looked at it. I don’t know why but it just kept nagging me. I was a little slow in starting this book. After I read the first chapter I wonder what took me so long to start.

Kate is a very likeable character. She is super with computers and has her own consulting business. She is divorced from an officer of the law and just trying to live her life.

Everett comes off as a tough guy, someone that might give you the impression that his actually job might not be legal.

There is no much I did not like about this book. The only problem I had was my working 14 hour shifts and not able to read it fast enough. I love how the author put a phobia in for Kate. It made her character seem more real. I also liked how the author had a military career in Everett’s past.

If you are looking for a read with some romance, crime and a mystery to solve, then check out this new book from Susan Rae, She has wrapped everything up in a great read.

Thanks for the wonderful read Susan.

Switching the Control - Victoria Blisse This book has it all. A great plot, developed characters, and an interesting story with challenges in just 48 pages.

I like Melissa. She is a strong independent female that goes after what she wants. She does not allow anything to stand in her way.

Richard is the type of character that likes to be in control over everything. He is one of those people that will win no matter what the cost.

If you are looking for a great quick read then check out this book. It does have several sex scenes with light BDSM. However the BDSM just adds lots of flavor to the story.

This was a great book, however a drawback for me was everything happened very quickly. I would have liked to read this with more interaction between the characters before they directly jumped into bed or a relationship.

Thanks for an interesting quick read Victoria.
