"And honestly, my favorite thing about this book...simply the best meet-cute/start to a story ever. I LOVED that about it. Because it really just set the tone for the whole book. [...] There is so much scorching chemistry between the two main characters...something that Jill Shalvis has MASTERED.

I definitely loved this book. I had to go order it in print so I could reread it again later."- Christi, Goodreads

Grab the reins and hang on tight for another wild and crazy ride with cowgirl philosopher Jessica James as she makes her way through the sleazy glitz of Las Vegas where everybody's packing heat and corruption is business-as-usual. Nobody tops Kelly Oliver for delivering fast-paced narrative, quirky characters, and a plot as twisty as a bucking bronco--all of this leavened with Oliver's trademark wry humor.

a perilous mission - Eden Chip by Scott Cramer

A thoughtful, fast paced adventure.

You will neglect the world! Loved it

"Just when you think you may have it figured out, it takes one of those twists and turns I spoke of before. I liked this installment much more as the story has picked up pace and added all new factors. New characters that were seamlessly written in that add some antagonistic value to the story. You sort of have some stories within stories in book two which adds a bit more depth as well. Grab a copy and get your read on!! "- Lucie, Goodreads

"I definitely thought this book was interesting, it’s not my usual read, but I certainly enjoyed it. The story starts off quickly, and doesn’t stop until you find out who was behind the mystery surrounding the country singer. There are no dull moments in this book, it actually reminded me of when my dad would tell stories with his brothers. [...] He is an amazing writer, he really knows how to pull you into the story and show you all the different sides of the same coin. It was really fun to unearth the mystery with Shep. Now on to the second novel in the Shep Harrington series. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars." - Kerrie, Goodreads

Seeing the changes that happen in a small Georgia town once the klan starts to take hold was eye opening and informative." Patricia, Goodreads

Paranormal romance doesn't get much better than The Boss. A sexy shifter hero, a spunky, no-nonsense heroine, heart-clenching emotion, and worldbuilding at its best.

"Blackbird Road is as compelling as its two predecessors. It has a plot full of twists and turns, moves along at a breakneck pace that reaches close to warp speed at certain points, has plenty of full-blooded action scenes and, of course, features a return visit to the ‘bromance’ that is Jake and Bear. If you’re after a book to read for sheer enjoyment that will keep you turning the pages way after the time you meant to put it down, then look no further than Blackbird Road." - Cathy, Goodreads

"This book took me by complete surprise! I found it as a free nook book and the concept intrigued me, so I decided to try it out. From the very beginning, the story and its characters captivated me.

sorely outnumbered and ill prepared... The Dragon Hunters (Histories of Malweir #2) by Christian Warren Freed

Their struggles against their own inner demons is as compelling as the battle scenes against the dark forces. 5 stars for Mr. Freed!" - Tabitha, Goodreads

ALMOST HUMAN is a series of successive trilogies, not stand-alone books. Each trilogy is self-contained enough to be read alone as a 3 book set, but the story unfolds chronologically, and the characters do continue from one trilogy to the next. Main storyline closure is in each 3rd book, but there are also story-ties leading from one trilogy to the next in the series. **

THE PSP CHRONICLES is not meant to explain PSP or to give readers comprehensive (or even objective) insight into PSP’s destructive path. Instead, THE PSP CHRONICLES is meant to show readers how an unexpected, incredibly difficult, and life-altering diagnosis has affected the life of this man Tim Brown.[...]THE PSP CHRONICLES is raw, because the journal is delivered as-is; it is episodic and not organized as a tension-driven story. It provides insight into an everyman’s experience writing through a devastating disease.- Amy Edelman

"A fantastic young adult series that even adults can enjoy! It is fantasy series full of magic, suspense and adventure...I loved the connection of the magic, the horses and Darius and Christine.

The three books are well written, played out and lead into each other very well. They are incredibly exciting and full of suspense. These are perfect books for young adults but even older adults who love fantasy." - workingmommyjournal.ca
