Brandi
Trapper Barnes and I once shared a love as big as the Colorado sky. But at eighteen I had to make the gut-wrenching decision to let him go, guarding an agonizing secret: our unborn child. If he'd known I was pregnant, he would have stayed, ruining his dreams of playing professional hockey. Tragically, I lost the baby. Grieving and broken, I poured sorrow and hope into my bakery until it became a cornerstone in our tight-knit community.

Trapper
A career-ending injury drew me back to the quaint streets of Emerson Pass and the family and friends I left behind. I dreaded seeing Brandi but in a town this size, it was inevitable. What came as a surprise? Falling right back into love with her. My gut tells me she's hiding something and I'm not going to give up until she tells me what it is.

As we grapple with the pain of what might have been, a looming forest fire threatens our town. Can a shared tragedy help us find our way back to each other, or will the weight of a secret keep them apart forever?

Experience a heartrending tale of lost dreams and second chances in Emerson Pass by USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson.

Ebook Review: Killer Friends (The Bloodstone Series #4) by Chris Karlsen

 

Blurb: 

The next book in the Bloodstone Murders series is a historical thriller that received the Chanticleer award for global suspense.

Henrietta Newell stormed into the detective bureau. She claimed her adult son was missing and feared for his safety. The detectives attempted to reassure her that the absence of a bachelor in his thirties, in a city like London, wasn’t extraordinary. Despite their efforts, she insisted an investigation be conducted, reminding them of her political connections.
Detective Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner were told to look into the matter. Their investigation reveals evidence of suspicious and unusual activity but no clues regarding the man’s disappearance. The few leads they develop take them from the world of wealthy families and into the secret society of sexual peculiarities.

The detectives discover the victim didn’t simply disappear. He was murdered. They have the evidence except for one problem, they’re missing the victim’s body.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

I found this story interesting, historical murder with plenty of interaction of police departments. I liked the fact that there were a couple of other cases, one helped the main case while the other showed how smart a woman can be as a PI. Ruddy and Archie got involved because of the class of the missing person. They were willing to work with others and look at every clue that came along. With a death that brought some sadness to the story, I kept reading to see if the culprit would get caught. I also enjoyed the personal side of these characters and loved the connection between Ruddy and Honeysuckle.

I received a copy through RABT, and this is my unsolicited review.

Book Tour: Kind Kids by Jenna McDonough with my review

The Adventures of Hurley, Pearl, and The Pink Soldiers of Kindness

Kind Kids

by Jenna McDonough

Children's Book

Date Published: October 10, 2025

Publisher: Gatekeeper Press

Hurley and Pearl are a brother and sister duo who usually get along but, like all siblings, sometimes struggle with their emotions. One day, when Pearl’s singing pushes Hurley to his limit, a family conflict teaches them both an important lesson: kindness begins with understanding and taking responsibility for your emotions.

With Mom’s loving guidance, Hurley and Pearl learn the power of pausing, breathing, and reflecting before reacting. They discover that kindness can heal hurt feelings, bring people together, and make everyone feel seen and loved. Inspired by Mom’s story of spreading kindness through small pink toy soldiers, the siblings embark on a heartwarming mission of their own—to brighten others’ days, one soldier at a time.

At school, Hurley comforts a classmate with a pink soldier after a tough moment on the playground, while Pearl lifts the spirits of a substitute teacher who feels overwhelmed. Through these small but powerful acts, Hurley and Pearl realize that kindness doesn’t just help others—it also fills their own hearts with warmth and happiness.

Their journey is about more than sharing toys; it’s about spreading love, empathy, and connection to everyone around them. Along the way, they discover a simple truth: kindness can change the world, one thoughtful gesture at a time.

Complete with a heartfelt letter from the fictional Colonel Michael T. Pinkerton, Kind Kids inspires young readers to share their own adventures of kindness. This delightful and empowering story encourages children to take small steps to make big impacts in their families, classrooms, and communities while reminding them that kindness to others begins with being kind to themselves.

Perfect for parents, teachers, and children alike, Kind Kids is a touching exploration of sibling dynamics, emotional growth, and the ripple effect of simple, kind acts.

 

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -

I loved the lesson in this story, and I believe every family would benefit from reading it. The idea of passing on kindness buy using pink soldiers was a wonderful one. The story was well explained as the children learned how to think before reacting in anger between themselves. I enjoyed their happiness at showing others kindness and how it made them feel. The illustrations were beautifully done and complemented the story. The questions were interesting and thought provoking.

About the Author

My name is Jenna McDonough, and in addition to being a children’s book author, I work with both adults and children to help them better understand and manage their emotions. I am the creator of the PEACEFUL Mindful Moments for Every Age App—the first-of-its-kind emotional intelligence app designed to teach children and their caregivers how to integrate tools and techniques for emotional regulation into daily life. Organized by both age and emotion, the app offers meditation, mindfulness activities, somatic resets, breathwork, and binaural beats. It also includes an Adult Meditation Library and is home to two of my signature courses: Highly Meditated and Introduction to the Healing Arts.

Beyond the app, I guide adults in identifying and releasing stuck energy through meditation, sound baths, and custom-designed healing experiences. I also developed coaching programs, such as Lifestyle Design and a proprietary program for high school juniors and seniors, as well as for any young adult navigating a transition year, to help them prepare with confidence for life beyond the classroom.

My professional journey began in education. I hold a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in Communications Journalism from Florida Atlantic University, and started my career as an Elementary ESE teacher. While I found teaching deeply fulfilling, I also experienced firsthand the challenges of burnout, which inspired me to seek balance through meditation, mindfulness, and yoga. As my life evolved and I became a mother, I continued to deepen my personal practice, remaining committed to wellness while shifting my focus toward family.

During the global pandemic, I witnessed the surge of anxiety and stress across all ages and felt called to expand my work. What began as a personal passion evolved into a mission: to equip others—children, parents, and adults alike—with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with greater peace, presence, and emotional intelligence.

In recognition of my dedication to wellness and emotional regulation, I have and continue to serve as a member of the 2024 and 2025 Forbes Health Advisory Boards.

About the Author

I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.

My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.

I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream.

I’m currently working on the Bloodstone Series, which is historical suspense stories set in Victorian London. I’ve also written two World War 2 romances: The Ack Ack Girl and Moonlight Serenade.

My past series include my historical/time travel romance series is called, Knights in Time. My romantic thriller series is Dangerous Waters.

Each series has a different setting and some cross time periods, which I find fun to write.

I currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and three wild and crazy rescue dogs.

He’ll do anything to free her…and make her his.

Abe
I joined the Midnight Hven as a favor to my friend.
My pack needs me, and that’s how I find myself sneaking through the woods in the middle of the night.
That’s when I see them take her.
I know two things in that moment.
The first is that I will do whatever I can to rescue the kidnapped girl.
The second is that I just found my fated mate.

Roxie
I was headed to meet my best friend when they took me.
Now I’m trapped in this old house, wondering if anyone will ever find me.
I know that I need to try to escape and make a run for it, but before I can, he shows up.
Abe Williams.
He saves me from that house and from those bad men.
Then he takes me home and tells me that he’s not letting me go.
He says that we’re meant to be together, that we’re fated mates. 

Now I’m wondering if I’ve traded in one cage for another.

He needed a quiet place to stay. He got her instead.

Daisy:
I’m in trouble.
I’m scrambling to pay my bills and keep my grandmother’s house from being taken by the bank.
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and now I’m desperate.
So, I make a post advertising for a roommate.
None of the people who contact me seem like a good fit.
Until Ledger.

Ledger:
As a Navy SEAL, I’m used to order, discipline, and solitude.
I love it. I crave it.
And so that’s what I’m hoping to find in a roommate.
There are no houses or apartments for rent in Wolf Valley, not for the sporadic days that I’ll be there.
So, I start scouring listings looking for a roommate, and I think that I’ve really lucked out when I see Daisy’s post.
Then I meet her.
Daisy is my opposite in every way.
She’s sunshine in yoga pants, with a rescue dog, a houseplant addiction, and a tendency to hum to herself nonstop.
She’s the opposite of what I thought I was looking for, but the more time that I spend with her, the more I start to fall for her, and it doesn’t take me long to realize I might be in more trouble than any mission I’ve ever faced.

Living with Daisy feels less like a temporary arrangement… And more like home.

Orpheus
In the shadowed heart of the supernatural underworld, I am a god among men.
The son of Hades. The Vampire King. Just a whisper of my name is enough to trigger a mere mortal's nightmares.
With a booming business and a reputation for terror, I can have anything -- or anyone -- that I want.
And I want Cassia.
Her beauty is irresistible and her devotion is intoxicating.
She has no business mixing drinks at Nightclub Dyrk like a common servant.
She's far too innocent to be more than just a toy.
But I'll take what she has to give and enjoy every exquisite moment.
Then someone dares to threaten her life and my true nature emerges.
No one has ever seen the full extent of my power.
Or how far I'm willing to go to claim what's mine.
Until now...
