Do you love stories of hope, love, and second chances? Well, then you definitely should check out A Ranger for the Twins by Tanya Agler. It embodies Harlequin’s Heartwarming theme as it will surely be a sweet quick read that will engage you.
Both Lucie and Caleb have been through a lot in their lifetime, and it shows in their characters. They are not very trusting but they both have great growth in that area and many others in such a short time. I also really enjoyed the twins and their fun antics with their array of animals

A lovely little short story that follows Timothy Flowers who turns 21 on the day this is set on. Timothy is minding his own business when a man, Charlie, starts to talk to him and offers him a day’s paid work. Timothy is unsure but decides to help Charlie out.
What follows is a story about their day and makes you want to read more when it’s finished. It was heartwarming and although Timothy is different from most normal 21 year olds, Charlie doesn’t treat him that way at all.
I would definitely recommend it! I just wish it was a little longer!

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The White City in Books
Oct 5, 2020
Sweden's bestselling author Karolina Ramqvist brings us a story touted as a powerful novel of "betrayal and empowerment." This short but complex study centers around how one woman, alone and lonely, is forced to grab at anything she can that might pull her out of abject despair after her criminal boyfriend abandons her with a newborn baby, with no money or prospects and the looming loss of her home. You can read what I thought of Ramqvist's latest novel, "The White City," in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/05/20/harsh-reality-with-a-sweet-dream/

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Winter Trials in Books
Nov 16, 2018
This review can also be found on my blog - www.diaryofdifference.com
A winter tale about two men finding themselves and each other. A short beginning of what I believe will be a long-lasting relationship, in a book filled with warmth, bravery and magic.
I was lucky enough to be approached by the author – K.S. Marsden, and I was excited to read both her books from the Northern Witch Series.
Winter Trials is the first instalment, and it is a perfect short introduction to the environment and the character. The story is about Mark, a 16-year-old boy, who decides to start practising magic, just like his grandmother.
And when a new guy comes in school, Mark is instantly attracted to him. But Mark’s magic, and Damien’s troublesome past will suddenly find each other, and a huge danger is near…
I really enjoyed reading this book, and it was a shame that it was so short. I loved Mark’s character and especially cheered for the grandma witch – she was the star of the show, with her sassy comments!
There wasn’t too much in-depth character features, and character development, but I would assume this is an introduction to a world that is to come.
Mark is a typical high-school teenager, with normal things hanging around his head, and some of the thoughts and discussions were refreshing, rather than when you read some usual cliches in other books.
I loved the bonfire night gathering, and the magic scenes were breathtaking.
The love story between Mark and Demian developed a bit too fast, and that is my only little disappointment, but apart from that – I enjoyed reading it, and can’t wait to dive into book two.
If you love LGBT romance, YA and a bit of magic and witches – grab this book, and read this series!
Thank you to the author, for sending me a hard copy of this book. All the opinions stated in this review are entirely my own.
