The books can be read as a standalone but start at the beginning anyway. You won’t be disappointed because Libby writing style draws you into the world she has created. We get to reacquaint ourselves with the characters from previous books and the sweet small town and it’s wonderfully fun, nosy, sassy, sweet, quirky, and colourful characters that you just can’t help but fall in love with. Alice is stubborn, wilful, definitely does not play by the rules, is not a push over, and she says what she thinks. She is however pushed to her limits when the residents decide to play Cupid. James is looking for peace and quiet and starting over but his patience is tested when the town rally together and make his life miserable. They decide to fake things and thus the “fun” begins. This charming tale has it all. It is witty, full of banter, a touch angsty, lots of sexual tension, with a bit of spice and will have you laughing. It is a good read to escape reality for a while. If you love small town romances, then this series is a must. ...more
After She Became a Lady is an historical romance story. Wareeze stories are told in the distinctive style of descriptive language for the per3.5 stars
After She Became a Lady is an historical romance story. Wareeze stories are told in the distinctive style of descriptive language for the period, which makes the story flow slowly whilst trying to get the hang of it. The writing is very descriptive, and perhaps too much so at times often leaving me wondering the point of its intent. There are lots of loose ends and unanswered questions and it seemed that others were just glossed over leaving the reader to guess what may have happened.
This poor young woman recently married is thrust into a life of loneliness as her husband is called off to war not long after. It is the events she endures whilst he is away that leave her in a place where terrifying events are taking place, wondering what is hidden in the shadows, distrust, hostility and more. Laurel was a contradiction whilst she was strong in some ways she wasn’t in others. I would have liked to have seen her have a voicing her opinions rather letting things go to keep the peace.
What happens when her husband returns from war? Will he be the same? Will he believe the lives of others? Will they uncover the truth? Will she be cast aside and made to be the unstable one? Can she make him see just who his twin really is?...more

Make sure to have tissues on hand because Beyond Friendship is a beautiful yet heart-wrenching contemporary romance best friend’s little sister tale. Make sure to have tissues on hand because you will need them. This is my first time delving into this authors work and I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, I discovered after I had finished this book that it is the third book in the Irresistible series, but I did not feel like I was missing out on anything. But I am going back to read the first two. This is Brian and Amanda's love story! Brian has a secret he can never share and that means women are only a means to an end. He is not a man looking for love or so he thought. Then she walked into the room and his heart started beating again. Amanda is a romantic at heart and wants that for herself. She thinks it is within her reach until she discovers Mr Right has come at the wrong time. This charming yet emotional tale has it all. It is a heartbreaker, it is witty, full of banter, a touch angsty, lots of sexual tension, made with lots of sugar and spice and plenty of steam and is a tearjerker. Marilyn’s writing style flows easily and writes characters so likable they feel so real, and they capture your heart. Her narrative is so vivid you can easily imagine all that she describes. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from her. A definite must read! ...more

The crazy talkingGumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera is the second book in the Gumshoe Mysteries series. This YA story is fun and is an original storyline. The crazy talking cat with attitude is back and just as with the first book made the story it is a refreshing change of character that had me laughing out loud.
Mia attends her friends Quinceanera but nothing ever goes as it should. One murder turns into more and Mia and her familiar Gumshoe are drawn into a dark world where corruption and betrayal are the name of the game.
Once again Gumshoe the cat takes to the fore with his wicked sense of humour and crazy ways to help Mia uncover the plot of the murders taking place and unravel the mystery surrounding them.
I really enjoyed this fast-paced twisty action filled mystery and absolutely love Gumshoe as a character and his trusty partner Mia.
No matter your age Laura is a fantastic storyteller and definitely one author that should be on everyone’s TBR list.
I can't wait to see what comes next in the series!
This series is a must read you WILL NOT be disappointed. Make sure to start with the first book Gumshoe And The Mysterious Mushrooms.

This contemporary romance is a staYou and Me Equals Love is another wonderful story by Marina. I have enjoyed each and every book I have read by her. This contemporary romance is a standalone and has everything needed to make it a compelling read.
I love how it was written in the multiple POV because it gives the story that much more meaning and understanding of them as people. It’s so easy for the characters to capture your heart and feel invested in them.
Marina has a way of telling a story that makes if feal real. Her writing transports you into the story and the world she has created. I enjoy her sense of humour that comes through in her words and has me laughing out loud. I have said it before, but I will say it again – Marinas words just click, and I can’t get enough.
It is a fun easy read, a tale of friendships and love, letting go of the past and building trust. It is a story of the heart wants what the heart wants, and it is not always what you would like it to be. I know what it’s like to9 want someone who likes someone else.
There is a lot of sass, intense moments, angst and a little drama and some cute times that makes for some fab reading. The story is a little predictable near the ending, but I still really enjoyed it.
This book is perfect read when needing some much needed “me time”.

This story is told from alternating POV’s given us a much broader andHeart's Rescue is the first book in the paranormal fantasy Fallen Hearts series. This story is told from alternating POV’s given us a much broader and in-depth view of just who they are. It’s my fav way of storytelling. I have only previously read one book by Meredith and really enjoyed it. Meredith writing style paints a vivid picture of this new world. The world building was intricate but well woven together. The characters are fleshed out, fully realised and well written. They may be broken but they take charge and forge ahead. Rowan and Arryn’s adventure is full of action, violence, danger and monsters. Two people from different worlds with misconceived idea’s, misunderstandings and miscommunications start these characters on an even rockier road as they go from enemies-to-lovers. It did take a minute to settle in with the characters but thankfully they are revealed as the layers are peeled back and do grow on you. There is a lot going on in the background in this fast-paced tale that is full of magic, a bit of mystery, some sassiness, a touch of humour, banter, and some steamy romance. Meredith’s exciting new world has many characters. There are elves, dwarves, dragons, and strange shadow monsters. This exciting book will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading paranormal fantasy romantic tales. I need to read more of this series....more

The characters are strong and out to right wrongs. As always with Seelie’s stories I get lost in the action and thrills and become engrossed in the journey. She has a way of keeping one step ahead, just when you think you know what direction the story is going, you couldn’t be more wrong.
Young Adults of the rich and famous are going missing and it is up to the Agents to figure out what is happening to them before they end up dead.
This is a fantastic book and series and I look forward to more from Seelie. ....more
Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2) Seelie Kay is a short and easy read with lots of suspense and intrigue. I recommend reading the first book before this Infamy (Feisty Lawyers Book 2) Seelie Kay is a short and easy read with lots of suspense and intrigue. I recommend reading the first book before this one to get the background and history of the characters as they continue in this story. I loved the first book but this one is even better and is my favourite so far.
Seelie’s cleverly woven plot, where the suspense is palpable, had me on the edge of my seat, as they race against time to stop terrorists. I loved every bit of the action and adventure, the danger and lets not forget the humour and banter that had me laughing. Even though it is a short story it definitely packs a punch and keeps you on your toes.
The easy comradery, friendship and love between the characters and their antics makes them and their journey all the more real.
I look forward to and can’t wait to see what Seelie has in store for us with the next book and beyond....more
Seeing a new book from Seelie I could not wait to grab it and get reacquainted with old friends.
Donovan Trait is back in this original twisted paranorSeeing a new book from Seelie I could not wait to grab it and get reacquainted with old friends.
Donovan Trait is back in this original twisted paranormal Vampire romantic suspense tale. It is the third book in the series and a it only gets better. This is one series that you want to read the books in order to ensure you get the whole story. Not everything is doom and gloom. Seelie ensures to inject her humour throughout as only Seelie can.
Just to recap;
In book 1 - Donovan Trait is a lawyer who loves the lime light and a vampire. He loves a human and now they have a killer on their hands.
In book 2 - Donovan Trait and his bride are pregnant on the run when ancient Vampire law let them down.
Vampires, Donovan Trait and his wife are still on the run from the Vampire Coalition and the despots who don’t want half-blood babies to taint their true blood world. What they don’t count on is the other half bloods are coming out of the woodwork to claim their place in the Vampire Nation.
What ensues is a bloody, bloody war, or does it? You will have to grab this series/book and find out. You will not be disappointed.

I love the characters whom are very endearing and very realistic and their chemistry and antics and their easy comradery and banter.
Dianna Murphy is missing. Janet an ex-secret agent, now Law Professor, enlists the help of her husband, a covert operative and the local police chief to track her down. What they find is a trafficking ring that is an around the world operation. Will they be able to reach Dianna before her life is on the line and she is so far beyond help?

Make sure to read the first b3.5 stars What We Never Say is the fast paced second book in the Bold Journeys series a women’s fiction tale by Paulette. Make sure to read the first book Love, Only Better as the story continues on for Rebecca and Kyle. Paulette gives enough backstory in this book, so you don’t have to read the first one, but it does follow on and you are missing a lot. I like Paulette’s writing style and after enjoying book one was ready to jump in. I enjoyed the first book but am a little torn with this book. Rebecca actions were a little disappointing to start with, she is getting to do her dream job but at what cost. She does however redeem herself a bit after a while. The first book was more about Rebecca and her wants and needs but in this book, we get to learn more about Kyle. This tale is filled with lots of emotions, angst, disgust, drama, and lots, lots more. Paulette handles a delicate and taboo subject well and unfortunately it is something that is not discussed enough. It is also a subject that not many thinks happen unfortunately. Kyle has suffered sexual assault at the hands of a powerful woman, and it seems their paths are about to cross again. He finally has to open up and shares the shame and degradation he suffered with Rebecca, but she only thinks of herself. I was very disappointed in her actions. I read this in about two days and really wanted to know what was going to happen and if Rebecca and Kyle's plan would work out. I look forward to seeing how the next book pans out as I feel that there are some loose ends. As with the first book I think this is one story that you will either really like or not. ...more

I have read and enjoyed a lot of Cor’s books and was excited to see what this book was all about. This whimsical tale is original and fun and entertaining. Cori has cleverly woven several fairy tales together to create a magical mishmash tale. It is a story where class and station matter. A tale of forbidden love. The characters are beautifully written, and the storyline is intriguing. It is easy to imagine this world that Cori has created and brought to life. This is a must read for those that like a story that is full of magic, dreams, fantasy, wishes, wants, hopes, a twist or two and much more. But it is a place where the old adage is ‘be careful what you wish for’ holds true. I look forward to reading more books by this author. ...more

Holmes is an historical story, a mystery that is full of rich and vibrant historical details. The passion and vivid descriptions of a time from long ago brought to life by NL’s loving passion. I enjoy learning just that little bit of the history with each story NL shares. The Moon That Fell from Heaven is a slow cosy read even though there is a lot going on, that transports the reader to a different time and world and way of life. It is a story where court politics, intrigue, lies, secrets, murder, danger, threating war, espionage, passion and proving oneself has been woven together to give us an exciting read and the pages turning.
