 I offer a book with deep themes for both kids and adults that features a watercolor illustration style you will not find anywhere else. It's called "The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Deer". And it can be summed up in one sentence --- "a fantastic and unusual story for both kids and adults about growing up with deep and dark fears". While the presentation style is aimed at 4-8 year olds, its themes of sociology, ostracization, and fear apply to all stages of life.

The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Deer

Written By Ember White 

Illustrated By Marta Maskiewick

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank both Ember White and Marta Maziewski for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


Ember White/s The Boy Who Wanted To Become A Deer is a great book for not only children but adults as well. It has so many great hidden messages and great lessons in the story. 


Marta Maziewski’s graphics make this book come to life! They are so detailed, beautiful colors, and overall make the story pop! She definitely has talent. 


My only issue with the book was it didn’t seem like the story had closure. I felt like it was open ended.

Title: Single Southern Flirt

Series: Magnolia Grove

Author: Cary Hart 

Genre/Tropes: brother's best friend, forced proximity, summer fling

Release Date: January 18, 2024

Cover Design: Sarah Paige

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200276337-single-southern-flirt

 





Blurb: 

Falling for my brother’s best friend is the last thing I expect to do when I return home to Magnolia Grove, heartbroken and ringless.

 

But catching my fiancée banging his Harvard grad intern made me rethink my life choices, like ditching my education to play house.

 

No more pretending, and no strings. All I need now is some careless fun while I rebuild my life, one odd job at a time.

 

Single, southern flirt, Matty Lincoln is the perfect distraction. The former professional football player had big dreams, and no back up plan.

 

After a career ending injury lands him back in our hometown, I find myself falling fast and hard for my old crush.

 

Now he’s simultaneously fixing up my house, and my heart, making me feel things I wish I didn’t.

 

And our little rendezvous? Yeah, it’s about to make big waves in our small town.

Single Southern Flirt 
Written By Cary Hart
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

  First, I want to thank Cary Hart and Enticing Journey for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review!

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! Single Southern Flirt by Cary Hart was a book I didn’t know I was craving! This is the first time I've read any of Cary Hart’s books but she now has a new fan!! I would read and review for her any day!!  This book was an easy, fast paced, quick read that can be devoured in one sitting! It is so good and needs to be put on your tbr list! 


Sarah Paige needs to be commended on her breathtaking cover graphics on Single Southern Flirt! Not only did she capture the beautiful couple but the colors were breathtaking. It captured my attention and made me want to know what the book was about. 


I love how Cary dedicated her book to her friends by using their names as characters. Her friends have such cool and unique names. I loved it! 


Single Southern Flirt brought up a lot of emotions in me from smiling ear to ear, cracking up laughing, feeling empathy for the characters, and believing in love again. 


Ohh Mattie and Emmalee are my new book couple!! Their sexual tension and chemistry was off the roof!! Cary did an incredible job in the spice category with these two. 


There is so much that I loved about this book that it deserves way more than 5 stars! You just need to read it to see why I loved it so much!

The Match Faker: a fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers romcom…
 
Fake dating my enemy was never supposed to feel so real…
 
MIA
My ex-boyfriend screwed me over and now the future of my matchmaking agency is in danger. I’d do anything to save it. Even if it involves fake dating my childhood best friend, hot Hollywood action movie star Liam Stone.
 
With his good looks, charm and acting skills, he’d be ideal.
 
There’s just one problem. We hate each other. 
 
But the arrangement would help me win the Matchmaker of the Year award (being single doesn’t exactly work in my favour) and scoop the cash prize and publicity that would save my business.
 
It’s purely professional. Two months and we’re done. 
 
Except when Liam kisses me, nothing about the fireworks between us feels fake…
 
LIAM
I’m no stranger to kiss-and-tell stories. But when I get caught up in a sex scandal that threatens to end my career, I fly to London to escape the drama.
 
I never expected to bump into her. 
 
Yeah, Mia’s smart and annoyingly attractive, but when she asks me to be her fake boyfriend, my first thought is hell no. Not after what happened before. 
 
Then I realise pairing up with her would help shake off my playboy image and restore my reputation. 
 
Dating Mia will be a challenge, but pretending is my forte.
 
Except when we’re forced to share a bed, the feelings that are supposed to be pretend become all too real…
---
Get ready to stay up all night! Once you start reading this steamy, dual POV, fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, you won’t be able to stop! 
 
Swoon-worthy happy ending guaranteed. Order The Match Faker now!
 
Tropes
  • Fake dating
  • Enemies-to-lovers
  • Forced proximity
  • Only one bed
  • Celebrity romance
  • Reformed playboy

About THE REASON I MARRIED HIM (Coming 2/6/2024):

He proposed . . . and I said yes.
Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel.
Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare.

So why did I say yes?

Well, because we both need something from each other.

Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will.

So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

At first, I thought the idea was nuts.
Who really gets married out of convenience?
Apparently, I do.

And now we have to sell our relationship to the town. Meaning, we're holding hands, he's pinching my cheeks . . . upper and lower. We're even forced to share the one-bedroom guest house on the farm where his monstrous body is taking up a large percentage of the bed.

But we’re so persuasive about our farse, that now I’m starting to think he actually might like me. Especially when he grabs me by the wrist and teases the shell of my ear as he whispers, “Mine.”

(Pity Series, #3)
Publication date: January 24th 2024
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

I always wondered who was crazy enough to apply to those reality dating shows…

Turns out, I’m that person. Paige Holland here—lifetime resident of Elk Lake, Wisconsin, and dedicated seventh-grade math teacher.

Unfortunately, if I don’t fall for one of the two guys who live right in Elk Lake I might have to move. This limits my choices to a substitute teacher I can’t stand or Tim, a guy I went through school with. It’s not that I can’t see being with Tim—he’s totes my type—but he’s so wounded from his divorce, he’s made it clear he’s only on the show to make his ex-wife jealous.

With one disaster after another being broadcast around the world, I’m seriously questioning why I thought a reality show was a good way to find love…
