Heidi Lynn Bookreviews writes reviews
with passion and conviction. She pores her heart and soul into her reviews, and
her compassion for the characters (and the authors) she reviews speaks to her
kind heart. Her reviews are thorough without too many spoilers. Tashe Simmons
Heidi knows her stuff,
for sure, and has a way of describing and reviewing a book that entices
readers, rather than giving the plot away. I couldn't imagine reading as much
as she does, but her experience proves itself in her ability to review honestly
and concisely. She's one of the best at what she does! Robert Kaufman

First, I would like to thank Susan Solomon for providing me
with this book so I may bring you this review.
Thanks to Susan Solomon and her new book A Shot in The Woods
I am craving turkey big time now. Just in time this comical book based around a
woman “mistakenly” getting shot as a turkey by a hunter right around Thanksgiving
time. It was great to see Susan’s personality shine through in this book as I
was cracking up to many of the scenes.
This book had a little bit of everything. Even though it was
Thanksgiving themed, she did have some witchcraft, mention of tarot cards, some
mystery/suspense, some investigation into if the woman was really killed or if
it was an accident, some wedding planning in the mix, Thanksgiving prep not
going so hot, investigation.
One thing I love about Susan’s books is her destinations are
all based here in WNY. Being born and raised in WNY I can appreciate this
aspect in the book. I smiled when I read about my favorite grocery store
Wegmans. One of the best Italian Bakeries in Niagara Falls she mentioned is De Camillo’s.
However, I go there for their amazing homemade Broccoli Cheese Pizza. She mentioned
the I-390 and Rochester, NY (I used to live there). Susan also used the popular
local newspaper in Niagara Falls the Niagara Gazette when mentioning reading
the story about the woman getting killed by the hunter.
This was a short quick read packed with excitement from
start to finish. It will keep you on your toes from start to finish. This was
one of my favorite books by Susan that I have read.

Just Shut Up ad Drive by Chynna Laird Review by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank Chynna Laird for providing me with
this signed copy of this book so I may bring you this review.
Just Shut Up and Drive was the perfect title for this book
by Chynna Laird. I can just hear Gramps saying this to Wil as they embarked on
an amazing journey into Gramps past.
This is one book that will make you want to call up your Grampa and chat
or get together with him. It is one of the sweetest, touching, emotional, heart
wrenching at times books with a bit of faith and lots of life lessons thrown
in.
Gramps was taking his Grandson Wil on a road trip however
what it really was a journey into his Gramps past. Oh, what a journey he took
him on! The unique people he met that were tied to his late parents and his
Gram. Each one touched his heart, remembered his Gramps from back in the day,
and even remembered Wil’s late father.
My heart broke for Wil as he lost both of his parents to a
drunk driver at a very early age. I too can relate as I lost my Uncle to a
drunk driver. You never get over that pain-and neither did Wil. However, he
never was able to let his parents go. It was this trip that he found out the
truth and was able to finally put closure on it.
I absolutely loved the dynamic between Gramps and Wil! Their
witty humor back and forth cracked me up big time!! I never got to know my
Grandfathers as they passed before I was born. So, I envied their relationship
in the book. Those two made a great team.
Chynna is an incredible story teller! Within this book are
so many stories within the story. So many that any of them could be turned into
a spin off book. For example me personally would love a spin off book of one of
my favorite characters Dakota and her Mom whom is suffering from cancer. That
is one very special and unique story in the book. One of my favorite stories
actually. Quite funny at times. She was a little sweetheart too.
I loved how the setting was in Canada as I have a soft spot
for the area being from the states.
This is one road trip Wil left a boy and came back a man.
Telling stories of resilient women, Kathryn R. Biel hails from Upstate New York where her most important role is being mom and wife to an incredibly understanding family who don't mind fetching coffee and living in a dusty house. In addition to being Chief Home Officer and Director of Child Development of the Biel household, she works as a school-based physical therapist. She attended Boston University and received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from The Sage Colleges. After years of writing countless letters of medical necessity for wheelchairs, finding increasingly creative ways to encourage insurance companies to fund her client's needs, and writing entertaining annual Christmas letters, she decided to take a shot at writing the kind of novel that she likes to read. Kathryn is the author of ten women's fiction, romantic comedy, contemporary romance, and chick lit works, including Live for This and Made for Me.
First, I want to thank Kathryn R. Biel for providing me with
this book so I may bring you this review.
When I first read the title for Kathryn R. Biel’s new book
Paradise by the Dashboard Light I automatically thought of the song. Which is
one of my favorites by Meatloaf. Immediately, she had me smiling at that fact.
But as the book progressed she did have some very comical moments in the book.
I found myself laughing out loud a few times.Especially at the fertilized egg comment!
This was such a fresh and unique storyline that I really
enjoyed. Two sets of fraternal twins, born on the same day, same time, same
hospital. All four twins were friends and had a bond. Each had a sibling that
each had an issue with.
Even held a special place in my heart in the story. He was born
premature (as was my niece) and was not thriving as well. Ian his brother
became a Neonatal Dr. to help save babies. Mostly, because he thought it was
his fault his brother was born that way.
I loved the unique names in this book Rio and Rainne.
The sexual tension between Rio and Ian was off the charts
and I loved it!!
