5 out or 5 stars

Starting Red I immediately started to feel my anxiety raise. Abigail gave me such an over whelming feeling of unease. That feeling quickly increased to panic and terror. When reading you can’t just simply cover your eyes during a scary part like you can during a movie. I found myself terrified to go on but yet needing to know how it ends.

Red kept me on the edge of me set and my heart pounding so hard, as if it was trying to leap right out of my chest.

Red certainly packs a haunting punch and will leave you completely filled with jitters. How it is even possible to deliver this much horror in a merely 51 pages is astounding!

Kelly’s writing will inject your brain with all sorts of new fears!

If your love is psychological thrillers, Kelly will easily become a new favourite.

A perfect read for around the Halloween season especially, if you are into that seasonal reading.

Enjoy!

And of course thank you all for reading.

5 out of 5 stars! – Incredibly charming!

I adore novels written in a past setting, exactly what I was expecting Courting Mr. Lincoln to be… since it’s based in the 1800’s, but this was completely different. Louis has written a book in the modern day, set in the past, yet reads as a genuine classic……Brillant!

Miss Todd is smart, independent and has such a strong knowledge of politics. Truly a well rounded young lady.

Lincoln’s also smart, determined and very hardworking. He has goals and is working towards them. Although he is missing proper manners and does not have the perfect gentlemen style, just yet. Lack of funds doesn’t help with that situation, but a great friend could become very helpful with that.

This is where Joshua Speed comes in. He is truly wonderful! (Spoiler… I think Speed was  my favourite character!). Speed is an incredible man, with so much warmth in his heart. Speed keeps a great pride for those he is close to, especially Lincoln.

Louis Bayard has created such a marvellous read! and I couldn’t be happier to have this wonderful addition to my shelves.

I needed more poetry in my life… And Let The Dark Speak was the perfect addition to my shelves.

Beau’s collection will bring all sorts of emotions to the surface. Floods of pain, love, frustration, happiness, anger and warmth.

Each piece is so beautifully written, it will leap right off the page and stick with you.

One I believe all should pick up, poetry lover or not. This may be the collection for you!

Absolutely intensely breathtaking!

It’s clear they are meant to be together…… but how long will it take for them to realise it?

4.5 Stars out of 5

Wow!…. Hot, steamy, erotic, sensual, seductive. There are not enough words for me to explain how hubba… hubba the sex scenes are! 

Eden knows how to write sexual moments that don’t become dry at any point! Not only that, the romance that ignites between them is so satisfying. 

Brandon is such a dream boat! I only wish I looked like Piper and was living her life in this moment!

A very wise person told me once…“Book boyfriends do it better”. I have to agree!

Thank you so much Eden for sending me an e-copy of your saucy novel to review. Brandon will always be a dearly remembered book boyfriend!

And of course thank you all for reading

All Men Are Assholes (…And All Women Are Crazy) by Jordan West

“𝔸 𝕃𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕠𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕠 𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕕 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕚𝕤 𝕒𝕨𝕗𝕦𝕝”

Don’t let the title fool you! This book is so much more than just some comical dating advice.

Perhaps you currently have an awful dating life, are in a dying relationship or are past those days and just want to know you are not the only one that had to endure these moments in your love life.

From advice to research to even an asshole and crazy scale, you also get a walk through of Jordan’s own personal love life.

4.5 Stars out of 5

I love that this novel is not bias towards either sex! Us Women can be just as much of the problem as men, even if we don’t want to believe it.

All Men Are Assholes (… And All Women Are Crazy) is a heart wrenching, raw, intense read with a burst of humour throughout. Jordan truly has a way with words.

I found this book to be very relatable to the majority of my relationships in my younger years. But Jordan’s were on a much deeper scale then my own, some of the things Jordan had to endure is angering…. or perhaps that is just the crazy in me.

Truly a strong, impressive women to go through all and come out the other side laughing at her past and ready to share it with the world.

“𝕃𝕚𝕗𝕖 𝕚𝕤 𝕒 𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕖 𝕓𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙.”

Thank you so much Jordan for sending me a copy of your immensely accurate read! I enjoyed it incredibly much. This truly is a read for everyone to enjoy

Absolutely sensational!

This historical fiction is dazzling and devastating all in one. Pam’s writing is absolutely incredible and her dedicated research while creating this masterpiece is remarkable. Not to mention her transition back and forth from past to present throughout this novel is flawless!

I adored reading from the three different perspectives, and fell hard for the characters! Each has their own warming yet heart breaking story.

Grace’s determination, Eleanor’s passion and Marie’s strength!

The Lost Girls of Paris pulled me in and completely absorbed me. I just had to know what was going to happen next!

Another heart-wrenching, breathtaking read.

A young working class girl, off to the South of France with her Employer. Life is pretty bland, until she meets a considerably older gentleman. Recently widowed, yet genuinely handsome and wealthy!… Maxim de Winter.

Love quickly sparks between the couple and it is not long before Max sweeps her off her feet, quickly marrying and back to Max’s home, Manderley. Where soon the young bride finds that she may not know Max as well as she thought and memories of his first wife, Rebecca claim this home.

4 out of 5 stars!

Rebecca truly blew me away! Classics, aside from horror/mystery classics can be very hit and miss for me. I think it may be a bit of the instant love in most and the unusual idea of romance.

But this Gothic romance sucked me in and Daphne’s writing is absolutely brilliant!

Maxim was a very heinous, unpleasant man and his young, new bride was childish… just completely juvenile. Yet they truly made the perfect team as the story developed and were surely the perfect couple.

This story is twisted, dark and very unnatural, but you won’t be able to put it down.

I will absolutely be looking into more of Daphne’s novels, especially if it is anything as exquisite as Rebecca.

And of course thank you all for reading.

I couldn’t help myself. I had to copy the synopsis right from Amazon, my own description would not do it justice!

It took me WAY to long to finish reading this book and I am so ashamed!…

Now let me make it clear, it was not because it was a disappointing read in any way. I mean clearly you can see that, based on the rating I gave it. 

This was such an exciting, stimulating, breathtaking read!

Between the fights, betrayal, bloodshed, trickery and some of the most unique characters I have ever followed in a novel, you are completely sucked into the world Mallory has created.

This world.. These characters will earn your affection and leave you wanting more.

Which is great! Since Mallory also has:

Oh and also, I am also so extremely proud to say…. Mallory is Canadian!

The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer

In 1942, Europe remains in the relentless grip of war. Just beyond the tents of the Russian refugee camp she calls home, a young woman speaks her wedding vows. It’s a decision that will alter her destiny…and it’s a lie that will remain buried until the next century.

Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now fifteen and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears. Where Alina used to measure time between visits from her beloved, now she measures the spaces between hope and despair, waiting for word from Tomasz and avoiding the attentions of the soldiers who patrol her parents’ farm. But for now, even deafening silence is preferable to grief.

Slipping between Nazi-occupied Poland and the frenetic pace of modern life, Kelly Rimmer creates an emotional and finely wrought narrative that weaves together two women’s stories into a tapestry of perseverance, loyalty, love and honor. The Things We Cannot Say is an unshakable reminder of the devastation when truth is silenced…and how it can take a lifetime to find our voice before we learn to trust it.

Midnight at the Wandering Vineyard by Jamie Raintree

Published by Graydon House on March 26, 2019

Mallory Graham is returning home to the heat and vines of Southern California in search of the peace she can’t find in the city. Her parents’ vineyard is an escape for tourists, but full of mixed memories for Mallory. It may also be the one place she can find the forgiveness she seeks. But can things ever go back to the way they once were—in the days before that long, hot, heartbreaking summer?

Growing up, it was Mallory and Kelly. Kelly and Mallory. Nothing could come between them. That summer before college, bucket list in hand, they greeted every sunrise and chased every sunset. Tattoos—check. Sleeping under the stars—check.

But when Mallory met Sam, everything changed. Older, experienced and everything Mallory never knew she wanted, Sam was her first taste of love—and the one adventure Mallory didn’t want to share with Kelly. But Kelly had her own secrets, too, until the night tragedy struck and their perfect summer—and their friendship—unraveled.

Now, after ten years away, Mallory is home and determined to make amends. No more secrets, no more half-truths. As Kelly slowly lets her guard down, Mallory convinces her to complete their unfinished list of hopes and dreams. But Mallory’s not the only one back in town, and when Sam reappears, Mallory risks making all the same mistakes—and maybe a few new ones—to try to heal that which was broken.
