Books to curl up with: HAPPY SATURDAY
HAPPY SATURDAY
Good morning my peeps and welcome to the weekend . I hope your weekend is going well and you are all having a good day. Today I have for you book 3 in the Gwen's Ghosts series by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. Lets dive into DEAD OF NIGHT.
BOOK BLURB
After breaking into Chambon Hall in an attempt to find any evidence that might link Bastian to Victoria’s murder, I’m shocked to find Bastian returning from his date early!
Now I’m stuck hiding in his house.
To make matters worse, soon the police come knocking on his door.
Faced with the realization that Bastian is being arrested for Victoria’s murder, I still can’t shake the feeling that he’s innocent.
So I make it my personal mission to find out who is really responsible for her death.
And when I finally figure out whodunit, I just might become victim number two.
MY REVIEW
Gwen and Petra are at it again. When Gwen breaks into Bastian's house to find clues on who killed Victoria things go from bad to worse . When Bastian comes home early Gwen must hide so he doesn't catch her. She is almost caught a few times and overhears a strange conversation between Bastian and an unknown caller. Just as things were getting to warm in walk the police to search the house. Well what is a girl to do but play hide - n - seek with the help of her best friend and ghost Petra. Will they ever figure out who killed Victoria or will Gwen end up as the second victim.
Gwen and Petra are back and I will say funnier than ever. Gwen is well lets say she is one feisty middle aged woman . She seems to be getting stuck in the middle of a mystery and wants to get to the bottom of it . She and Petra together make a great duo, a comic duo but a duo none the less. Bastian is well you still really can't trust him at all. He really gives off a bad vibe most of the time and the other ten percent of the time you kind of want to slap him. Then we have Leo the sad sweet man who is in a loveless relationship that he wants to leave but doesn't have the guts to do it . He is the total opposite of Bastian he is sweet and kind and the type of guy you can take home to meet the parents.
This is the third novella in the series and I will admit it is the funniest. Petra and Gwen are a great comedy duo. The authors have a warped sense of haha when it comes to these characters and love to stick them in some weird situations. I mean what do you when you have two men in your pantry and the cops knocking at your door (read the book to find out ). This is a faced paced mystery with secrets, lies murder and a side of laughter to keep you on your toes. You should read the books in order because this book starts where book 2 left off . If you want a fun fast read to add to your collection check them out

MONDAY IS FOR DRAGONS
Good morning my peeps hope your weekend was one for the books. It finally cleared up and the snow is melting again and I did get some good books read. Today I have for your book 3 in the Dragon's Birthright series. THE DRAGON'S FIGHT by Hp Mallory and J.R RAin
BOOK BLURB
There’s a war on the horizon that I want nothing to do with.
So, in an attempt to call for peace between both sides, I host a peace talk and invite my sisters, the respective queens of Gaunt and Latran.
But that peace talk doesn’t go as planned.
After one sister kills the other, I realize this situation is far worse than I previously imagined.
Soon I’m taken prisoner by my surviving sister, Sylvia, as I learn she plans to overlord all three provinces.
And knowing Sylvia, she’ll do so with an iron fist.
Once my love, Devon—a dragon shifter, frees me, I have a choice to make: fly off with him to a place far away where we’ll both be safe or face a war that will devastate my homeland and possibly cost me my life.
MY REVIEW
There is a war brewing between Gaunt and Latran and Selena and Devon are right in the middle of it . Who knew peace talks would be so hard to set up. When the queens of Gaunt and Latran show up things don't go as planned for the sisters. One sister murders the other and takes Selena hostage , where she overhears the plans of her sister Sylvia to take over al the provinces and rule with an iron fist. What will Selena do with the help of Devon she has a choice to make fly off with him and be safe or stay and fight and maybe loose her life.
Selena and Devon and ready to fight, Selena is fighting hard fighting for her freedom and fighting for everyone . She is a strong woman who wants the provinces to come together. Devon well he is a fighter but he is also kind of getting a little tired of rescuing her yet again. They are good but stronger together. Her sisters are pieces of work who knew two people could be evil but they do a good job at it .Sylvia well she really needs an attitude adjustment she is pure evil. The characters are well written and complex and there are so many that come in contact with our main characters,
Wow what a way to end the series, there is some romance, murder and well a war that will have you on the edge of your seat most of the way through. The authors chose a good way to end the series . This is a series with morally grey characters and things aren't always they seem. This is one of those series that you will get sucked in and fall in love with the characters. Check it out you must read them in order .

DAY 299 OF WINTER
Good morning peeps welcome to 299 day of winter here on the farm . So what do you do when it is blizzard going on outside you grab a book and snuggle down with a good book . Today I have for your enjoyment AGE GAPE ROMANCE part 2 by Hp Mallory
BOOK BLURB
NIKKI
So, I just decided to make the target of my femme-fatale training my professor, Derek Anderson.
The only problem? Derek isn’t exactly what I’d call an easy target.
He’s a playboy and he’s known as the hottest professor on campus which means he can basically get any woman he wants.
But that’s not the only problem.
The biggest one so far is that I’m starting to develop feelings for him and according to the laws of seduction, that’s breaking rule #1.
DEREK:
I made a mistake.
After deciding Nikki and I can never be anything, I just invited her to become my teaching assistant.
And she agreed.
Damn me, but now I can’t get that woman out of my head.
I know I’m playing a dangerous game, but I want her.
And what usually happens when I want something?
I get it.
MY REVIEW
Nikki is working the Femme Fatale notebook and everyone is taking notice. Even the teacher she wants but is it getting too much for both of them . With Nikki becoming his teaching assistant things are going to get hot and i mean hot . When real feelings start to seep in and making the water muddy will they be able to stay friends or will they finally dive into their desire and take it to a whole new level
Nikki and Derek are well just getting a lot more complicated. We get to see Nikki finally grow up in this installment and realize that she is playing with fire with Derek. There are real feelings surfacing and we watch how both of them and how they handle the feelings of what could be and what love would be like with this person. It is not only Nikki doing the growing Derek is also doing a bunch of growing this installment . He finally cares for someone other then himself. We really do get to see them both grow and realize love is fighting for.
The second part starts basically right where book one ended and is a good read. We find more emotions coming out in this book and it seems like we finally get to see the characters real feeling finally emerge. This quick read will be giving you all the feels and there are moments that you want to bang their heads together . I truly enjoyed this series and it is a departure from the normal writing of this author . This is not a stand alone you really should read part one to get the full feeling of these characters and watch how they grow . If you want a fun interesting read that will give you all the feels check out the series.

WELCOME BACK SAVANNAH
Good morning my peeps hope your Tuesday is going well, well I am under another snowfall warning so glad there are books to read. Today I have for you the last book in the Sentinels of Savannah . THE CAPTAIN'S CURSE by Lisa Kessler.
BOOK BLURB
Captain Ian Flynn would die for any one of his crew…if he could. Now he might have to. Because one of the only known weapons able to kill an immortal is missing. The Spear of Destiny—a priceless religious artifact from the crucifixion—is in the hands of his ship’s ruthless ex-captain. Now the lives of the Sea Dog’s immortal pirate crew are all at risk…along with the headstrong mortal Ian never should have fallen for.
Writer Lily Bouchard isn’t sure what’s worse. That she fell for Ian Flynn only to get her heart broken, or that she romanticized the man like he was some gorgeous viking straight out of a movie. So when he shows up suddenly with some absurd tale of immortal pirates and mythical religious relics, Lily doesn’t know what to think. He’s always had a wildness beneath his well-tailored appearance…but how could any of this possibly be real?Monday, April 17, 2023
MADE IT BACK TO MONDAY
Well we are back to Monday and I am getting ready for another dump of the winter white stuff. Today I have the second book in the Gwen's Ghosts series by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. DEAD AND GONE .
BOOK BLURB
After waking up with a could-be killer in my bed, I’m understandably panicked.
And that panic only increases when I realize Bastian realizes there’s something off about me.
I need to get this guy out of my house (and probably my life) pronto!
Yet it doesn’t seem things are going to be quite so easy.
And while what few clues there are point to Bastian, I can’t help but feel like he’s innocent—or is that just wishful thinking on my part since I sort of like him?
Whatever my reasons, I’m now determined to find Victoria’s killer—whether that killer is Bastian or not.
But what I’m not planning on is finding myself breaking and entering, hiding from the police, and the worst shock of all?
Meeting Leo’s wife…
MY REVIEW
Gwen and Petra are back and funnier then ever. After waking up with Bastion Gwen starts to panic with a would be killer in her house even if he is drop dead gorgeous. Things go from bad to worse when Gwen realizes that Bastion thinks that there is something off about Gwen . As the clues keep adding up to Bastion being the killer things just don't add up to him being the killer. Gwen is even more determined to find the killer even if it means breaking and entering , hiding from the police and the ultimate sacrifice meeting Leo's wife.
Gwen and Petra are back and they are funnier then ever . Gwen is trying to find Victoria's killer and she is getting feisty and hard working . She wants put Victoria's murder behind her . I love how strong and feisty she is but there is a side to her that all she wants is love and a good man to love. Petra is well she is a ghost but man she is hilarious. She keeps Gwen in line most of the time . She is like jimney cricket on her shoulder most of the time . We also get to meet Bastion and he is well he is a playboy but there something about him that you can't help but fall for but there is an air about him that you just can't trust yet . These characters are so well written and complex and you will love them
In the second book of the series starts right where book one left off . The authors have created such a fun story line and they really come off the page at you . There is so much going on in book two. The things Petra does and says had me in stitches all the way through the book. I truly enjoyed this book and loved the character development through out the book. This can't be read as a stand alone I would really suggest you read book one first and then dive into this fun fast read . I think you all would love this series so check it out

Good morning my peeps , we made it to Thursday and we have a long weekend ahead of us. So after you hide the eggs package up the chocolate and shoo the family out the door. Why not grab yourself a good book to relax while hubby does the dishes. Why not grab book 4 in the Trailer Park Vampire series BUMPKINS AND BANSHEES by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain.
BOOK BLURB
When it rains, it pours in Windy Ridge…
When my ex, Alton, unexpectedly arrives in Windy Ridge with arms full of roses, I know we’ve got us a problem.
And not just because I’m not looking to start up anything romantic with him.
It’s more like Alton is human, and he’s just witnessed a diner full of fog-created creatures.
To say that man has just suffered the shock of his life is putting it real mild like.
Things only go from bad to worse when one of the locals, a crow shifter named Georgia, winds up with an arrow in her throat.
Now we’re faced with a whodunit.
Before I know it, I’m looking at Alton as a possible suspect. Not only does he know archery, but he’s been acting dang strange ever since he found out the truth of Windy Ridge.
And weirder still? Alton keeps hearing the shrill scream of a banshee, the spirit of a woman who wails whenever someone’s about to die.
Well, I’ve had just about enough of things going upside down in this backwoods town, so I’m gonna get to the bottom of this mystery right quick.
I can only hope I solve it before that banshee gets to screaming again.
MY REVIEW
Things well they are going ok in Windy Ridge well as good as a town turned into paranormal creatures can get well until Alton turns up at the restaurant that Twila now owns. With an armful of roses and a shocked look on his face as he sees a restaurant full of fog created creatures. Now Twila has to explain to him what happened to them to a human , a man who she was in love with and had a child with. Now on top of that there is a murder to solve. Georgia a crow shifter if found with an arrow through her throat . Now they are on the trail of suspect and the clues are all pointing to the new man in town . To top it off Alton is hearing the scream of a banshee . Will they be able to find out who the murderer is or will Alton be the next one to die.
Twila and the gang are back and honestly funnier then ever. Twila just wants to have a well a normal life . But, like with everything else in her life right now her ex enters and throws her in a turmoil of what ifs. She is caught up in a love triangle with the two men her ex and well her best friend . The rest of the crew are back and funnier then ever . They are an odd bunch who have grown with each book. I am loving them all .
This is the fourth book in the series and I must admit I couldn't put it down . I love that we get to see Twila fight with her feelings between two men and ex and the sheriff of their small town. There is a great mystery/ murder to solve and the love triangle which will have you in stitches. I am happy they actually wrote about a banshee, they usually aren't written about . I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. Will Alton stay and will Twila figure out who she loves and what will happen next in Windy Ridge. If you want a fun read check out this series .

WELCOME BACK TO MONDAY
Good Monday all, I hope you all had a great weekend and found some great books to read. Today I have a new author to me . WILDFIRE by Angela Ford.
BOOK BLURB
A spellbinding, new sexy romance. Running from her past, she finds a man who needs her as much as she needs him. Then leaves this firefighter, the man she loves, on his knees–in a trance, under her spell, unable to fight the fire––and ran. Creating a new life, Ember Cane settles in the small quiet town of Mystic Bay. Taking a job at a local Bed and Breakfast, all the while keeping her real identity a secret. In a town with no surprises, one spell could change everything. Phoenix Nox lost everything the night fire destroyed his home. And something he couldn't place memory to–until he returns to Mystic Bay. Fighting one fire, another leads him to the truth–he's in love with a witch–one fire he'll never fight, because when he sees her, he feels her in his soul. Ember learns that this charming town is cursed, and she must find a way to break the spell which can only be done on the full moon following her twenty-first birthday. Will the power of emotion, love, and sacrifice make Mystic Bay––home? Or will her past catch up with her? Warned he will find her. He watches. He follows. Fire follows.
MY REVIEW
Ember is running for her life from her past and the man that needs her as much as she needs him. After moving to a small sea side town and working at a bed and breakfast and hiding her real identity. There is one person that comes back into her life that can change everything . Phoenix has lost everything in a fire and when he comes back to Mystic Bay he starts to put the pieces together and realizes that the woman he loves is a witch . Ember in the mean time is finding out the town she loves is cursed . Will Ember find the love she deserves and break the curse or will the man who said that he will find her and will the fire follows.
Ember and Phoenix are one of those couples that you have to really get to know to love . Ember is running for her life so she has trust issues, and she has secrets that she wants to keep hidden. Phoenix is wickedly hot pretty boy who has his own set of trust issues after loosing his mom at an early age. They are a cute couple but they are also awkward towards each other .
This is one of those books that has a lot of twists and turns through out the book and the characters were well written but I wish they were just a little bit more complex . The story is a sweet read that has romance and a curse to fight and an eerie figure lurking in the back ground. If you want a love story with twist and turns and a bit of magic check it out.
