GOOD MORNING PEEPS IT IS NOVEL TIME IN READER ROUND UP

   Good morning peeps it is time for novels on the reader round up. Today I have for you a YA fantasy by a new to me author. SANCTUM  Dragon Guild book 1 by P.T, L Perrin


                           BOOK BLURB



 Two worlds separated by time and space, a frantic search, a powerful enemy, and a baby dragon... At sixteen, Gabri’s life is complicated.

Behind the gates of Sanctum lies a perilous journey for Cherokee teen Gabri O’Connell.                               Torn from her home by a terrifying vision, she awakens powerless in a frigid tower on a treacherous planet. Just when hope seems lost, a magnificent white dragon and its rider swoop in to rescue her, bringing her to Sanctum—a hidden realm deep within the planet's core.

Dubbed "world destroyer" by her saviors, Gabri finds herself unwelcome and unable to prove that she’s anything but. However, an unexpected bond forms when Makani, a baby dragon, becomes drawn to her.

As she navigates her new reality, Gabri gains allies in Elio, a guardian of Sanctum, and Margo, its sole dragon trainer. Will this baby dragon hold the key to her survival? And will Gabri ever reunite with her family?


                      MY REVIEW 
   Gabri O'Connell is just a teen who has the gift of empathy . She is ripped from her home by a vision. Where she is on a planet . When everything seems at it worst a gorgeous white dragon comes in to save her along with its rider take her to the Sanctum a safe space deep in the planets core. But she is having trouble when they keep calling her world destroyer and they make her feel unwelcome until a baby dragon takes a liking to her . Will her baby dragon and the few friends she has made keep her safe and help her figure out this new planet and her part in keeping it safe . 

  Gabri is you basic teenager , but there is something special about her. There is something after her and she knows it. She is an empath that can feel those around her . She is a fun loving girl with a strength that will help her out. We see her adapt to the new world she ends up in.   There are so many characters through out the book. We have Donny and her parents that are on earth trying to figure out how to get Gabri back . Then we have Elios and Margo on the planet who are helping Gabri out with dragon riding and keeping herself safe. Each character is well written and complex ,

   This is a fantasy/ science fiction story that will have both adults and teens turning the pages . If you like dragons , this is a story for you. The author has built a strong world that will have you sucked in and reading well into the night. Be prepared to laugh at the antics of a baby dragons. Check out this author for your teens for this summer .

GOOD MORNING PEEPS THIS IS THE LAST BOOK OF NOVELLAS

 Good morning my peeps this morning is the last book in the novellas for reader round up tomorrow we start the novels and today I have for you COME WHAT MAY  by Marie Fostino 

                           BOOK BLURB


 

 The pages of Come What May held a powerful memoir, one that was told through the eyes of a wife, mother, and friend. As we are first introduced to Rose, she sits in a hospital waiting room, nervously fidgeting as she searches for answers about her husband's condition. Her thoughts race back to the journey that led her to this very moment, and with bated breath, she bravely reveals the realities of her marriage. Through raw and honest flashbacks, Marie Fostino skillfully weaves a story that highlights the complexities and challenges of marriage, the evolution of relationships, and the search for personal identity amidst tragedy.


                         MY REVIEWS 
 This story starts with us meeting Rose at the emergency waiting room. Waiting to see if her husband will survive his heart attack. We watch her process her past and the present of life with her husband . All the good and the bad that they went through. The struggles were real and the good times were great but the bad times are what really made them think of what life would be like if one of them left. We watch them grow up . 

   This is a memoir of a sorts and we get to know Rose through her thoughts and feelings of what life was like back in the day. She is one strong woman but there is also a silence that is wrought with fears of what could happen if they went their separate ways.  The trials and the loneliness that comes through is so heart wrenching you just want to hug her and tell her things will be ok. 

   This is a story that will have you cheering for Rose and also wanting to shake her. Everyone has that one moment that will define them for the rest of their lives and coming to terms with what has happened in the past that shaped them into the person they are now . This author weaves a story of love , betrayal and redemption in a way that will have you shedding a tear for the main characters . This would be a good rainy day read that gives you a glimpse of what love can do.

GOOD EVENING ALL I AM ON THE LAST OF THE NOVELLAS FOR READER ROUND UP

   Good evening peeps , I am on the second last novella for the reader round up and tonight's book is another book by one of my favorite authors R.L Merrill. book 2 in the Bolder Breed Studios  LOVE AND PRIDE , 


                          BOOK BLURB



Popstar Unice Love is thrilled to be recording a high-profile holiday tune for charity, and super-producer Lydia Pride knows she can do something special with Love’s exceptional vocal instrument. Sparks fly between the spirited ingenue and the seasoned musician, but Unice will need to get past the obstacles that have held her back and learn to speak up for what she wants, and Lydia will have to let her in if they’re going to make beautiful music together.


                        MY REVIEW

 Unice Love is so happy to be doing a christmas song for charity but her handlers are well so over protective poor Unice can't breathe, but when she meets Lydia Pride the producer for her song. Lydia sees potential in Unice and her sultry voice. Sparks fly for the both of them but Unice needs to learn to stand up for herself and tell them and Lydia what she wants and Lydia will make beautiful music with Unice. 

 Unice has been a star since she was a teen ager. She has been doing what the record company wanted for as long as she could remember. She is so sweet but she is also a nervous wreck She wants to grow up as a singer but everyone wants her to still be the campy teen that she was . Lydia is actually a kind of a hard nosed producer and wants to take Unice to the heights she knows she can go and she feels a pull towards Unice . There is a sadness in both the women each having a secret that they have to come through to figure each other out. I truly like this couple they are complex and you want to just hug both of them j

 This is book 2 in the Bolder breed studios series and it is just as fun to read as the first book. The characters are fun to read and the story is a fast read . I truly like the writing style of this author and her stories are great for your summer reading list.

                           BOOK BLURB 



 Lucca Calvaricci

What do you do when your dreams go to Hell in a handbasket? You find a new dream.                                    At least, that's what I did. It just took me a decade to do it.
See, once upon a time, I was flying high on the ice until an accident destroyed my hopes of going pro. Now, I want to start my own team, but to win over the league, I need the best in the PR business.
Enter Maxine Andrews. She's sexy, sassy, and loves a challenge. This little spitfire keeps me on my toes, and I want to make her mine.

Maxine Andrews

I'm the best sports PR rep at Capital Time Media, and one of the best in the entire country. That's not pride, it's just a fact. When my boss informed me Lucca Calvaricci from Calvaricci Enterprises wanted to meet with me, I was intrigued. His company was into everything from real estate, to big pharma, and even cybernetics. What did he need me for?
Color me surprised when he told me he wanted to start his own professional hockey team and wanted me to pitch it. This was definitely a challenge I couldn't back down from.
The only problem? The man was sex on a stick and I'd sworn off all men-excluding my son.

And yet, somehow he gets through all of my walls. But can I really trust him with my heart?

                     MY REVIEW 
 
      Lucca Calvaricci was on his way to the NHL until the day an accident took his chances away. He worked his way up in the real estate game and learnt from his father and became a magnat. Until the day he decides he wants to start his own NHL hockey team someplace warm. Maxine Andrews walks in the best pr pitch woman out there. When they work together to get the team going but things get more when they start to fall for each other. Will they be able to keep it professional for the sake of the team or will love triumph
  Lucca is well he is walking sex on a stick and he knows it . He knows how to get what he wants and works hard at the same time. He has his best friends that are there for him. There is something missing though in his life. . Enter Maxine a pr rep that is the best in the business. She is self assured and man she knows her job. She is a gorgeous woman who has had trauma in her life and has sworn off men all except for her little son. She has a sadness to her that you can see in her eyes, Their friends are a fun group that will do anything for them . Each character is well written and you really like them , Just wish they were a little bit more complex as the story went on.
     This is a fun story that is all about hockey players and the loves that are coming into their lives . You can finish it in an afternoon the author writes a fun fueled story but I do wish that it was just a little more , it kind of got a little overused the word doll. He always called her doll and it just got repetitive . Over all I did like this story and liked reading it. So if you want a hot men on the way to making their futures amazing on and off the ice check it out
