Rating: 2.75 “I considered the Arcana, wondering if it had some healing properties. Decided to not try or suggest such a thing. I didn’t know what was inside me, what it could do. Just because it whispered things at me, we weren’t joined at the hip.” — Night Tricks (Midnight Magic Book 1) by Richard… Continue reading Review: Night Tricks ( Midnight Magic #1) by Richard Amos

There ,some events and secondary characters that were referenced in Egotistical Puckboy , drew from this story.

Review: Remedy (Tulip Farm #1) by Alex Hall
Rating: 4 🌈 Remedy , the first in the Tulip Farm series by Alex Hall, is a very good contemporary story. The author certainly knows the show circuit or at least has done their research most effectively so that the world of competitive jumping, and later Dressage, is absolutely believable. From the heartbreaking prologue to… Continue reading Review: Remedy (Tulip Farm #1) by Alex Hall
Review: Caught (Bureau #9) by Kim Fielding
Rating: 4 🌈 I needed to double check the release date because of cultural references Fielding’s used in the story, but she’s stated it takes place in the 70’s , not present day. So mentions of President Carter, Mork & Mindy, and , RIP, Burt Reynolds, makes sense. Of course, given it’s the Bureau, you… Continue reading Review: Caught (Bureau #9) by Kim Fielding

Review: Royal Lines (Boston Rebels #4) by R.J. Scott and V.L. Locey
Rating: 4.5 🌈 As a book I really ended up looking at it at two different ways once I completed it. First let’s talk about Royal Lines as a contemporary romance. As a love story, it soars. The men are throughly seated in their prospective cultures and personal histories. Marquis Miller is completely grounded in… Continue reading Review: Royal Lines (Boston Rebels #4) by R.J.
