To Save My Daughters

I loved him… but I loved my daughters more. I knew what I had to do. I had to protect them.

When June Marlow was arrested for the murder of her husband nearly thirty years ago, she feared she would never see her daughters again.

Terrorised by the man who claimed to love her, and too ashamed and humiliated to admit to years of abuse, June was found guilty, despite her claim that she’d acted in self-defence.

Now as June’s release date nears, while apprehensive about re-entering society, she’s excited to be reunited with her girls. But the little girls she left behind are now grown up, and while Lu is desperate for June’s homecoming, longing to feel her mother’s arms around her once again, her sister, Cole feels differently. She was there that night. And even though she was only ten years old, she has never forgiven her mother for what she did.

It’s meant to be a reunion. But the truths of the past have a way of finding their way to the surface; and June is harbouring more devastating secrets; secrets she prays will never be revealed.

Is a family wracked by lies and trauma about to find healing, or will it be destroyed forever?

To Save My Daughters 
Written By Louise Guy
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Louise Guy, Boldwood Books, Rachel's Random Resources and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.


WOW! Louise Guy To Save My Daughters is an insanely addicting powerful read that everyone will be talking about. As I was reading this book I could see the movie version play within my head. Seriously though this would be an amazing NetFlix series! This is a book that deserves way more than 5 stars and needs to be put on your TBR list. It is a must read. Louise is a very talented storyteller. 


I appreciated Louise’s author note in the beginning of the book giving us readers a heads up that this book contains domestic abuse. Many authors don’t go above and beyond to forewarn their reader of such triggers. 


How could you not feel empathy for the daughters in this book whose Mother killed their Father out of self defense? Then raised by their Gram? I can’t imagine watching your Mother kill your Father. After seeing my Dad die I can understand it messing you up emotionally. 


To Save My Daughters is filled with deep, intense, suspenseful, powerful, heartbreaking storylines with important meanings behind them. Louise thought outside of the creative box when she wrote this and it is amazing! 


The budding friendship between Ali and Lu really made me smile. 


To Save My Daughter has many storylines within the storylines that are very detailed. 


Louise’s climax to this book was the best I have ever seen in any book before. I was in shock and literally in tears as the revelation was coming to head!! My heart just broke when everything came to head during that scene.

I love being a nanny. But now, the two little girls I nanny for are missing. Soon the police will be at my door—and I can’t let that happen again. I’ll tell them I’m innocent, but will anyone believe me?

Sweet little Emma and Nealie, both just four years old, live on the same block in the exclusive, gated Blackwood neighborhood—miles from my cramped studio apartment. I go between each family’s home to care for the girls. And I know all their secrets…

Their mothers were best friends until three months ago, when everything fell apart. There’s a door that’s always locked at Nealie’s house. And Emma’s house is filled with whispered arguments. I’m sure her father is having an affair.

But I tried to overlook the slow splintering of these marriages: because I Ioved the girls. Braiding their hair and then walking them to kindergarten was my favorite part of the day. But now they’re gone. Snatched from their beds.

In Blackwood, little girls don’t just vanish. The police will suspect the nanny, the person who loved them, the person with a key to both houses. I’ll swear that I’m being framed. And I will do anything to stop them finding out who I really am, or why I was so desperate to work here.

Because these families are about to pay for their secrets. But who is really in danger?

Two missing little girls?
Their desperate parents?
Or me?

Perfect for fans of The HousemaidThe Perfect Marriage and The Girl in Seat 2A, this absolutely gripping psychological thriller will have you up all night!

The Nanny Share 
Written By Emily Shiner 
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Emily Shiner, Bookouture, and NetGalley for this book so I can bring you this review. 


WOWZERS!! Emily Shiner has done it again and brought her readers an unbelievable read that everyone will be talking about! The Nanny Share is every parent's worst nightmare and oh so much more! Picture Law and Order with two missing children from two different families mixed with prime time soapy drama vibes playing in your head and you have The Nanny Share. Yes, this is unlike any missing case you have read before. You must go out and grab this book and put it on your TBR List. 


The Nanny Share is fast paced, totally addicting, full of deep dark hidden secrets, full of wicked twists and turns, and revelations that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about these characters. Emily takes you wild on this one! It is one of her best! 


If you were looking for an emotional read with The Nanny Share you may be out of luck with this one. While it pulled on my heartstrings and felt for both families of both of the girls I didn’t shed tears with this one. However, what I did feel was empathy for both families whose daughters who were both friends were both missing. 


Not going to lie there was one character in this book I didn’t care for in this book. The more I got to know them the more I started yelling at my Kindle in profanities. 


Emily would like to dedicate this book to her Mom for all of her support throughout the years.

  • The Horseman’s Tale is a gripping and deeply emotional coming-of-age novel that weaves together themes of love, identity, PTSD, and the redemptive power of horses. At its heart, the book explores the devastating impact of self-repression, as Jake Montgomery battles both the trauma of war and the quiet anguish of hiding his true sexuality. Set in the 1960s—a time of political and social upheaval—Jake's story serves as a lens through which readers can understand the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals during a period of severe societal discrimination 
  • Through his relationship with a special horse, Jake embarks on a journey of healing and self-discovery, finally breaking free from the chains of shame and embracing his authentic identity. A deeply personal narrative of resilience, love, and transformation, The Horseman’s Tale illuminates the intersections of mental health, LGBTQ+ struggles, and civil rights, offering a powerful commentary on the importance of accepting oneself in a world that often demands silence.
  • The Horseman’s Tale is a must-read for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ history, mental health, civil rights, and personal journeys of self-discovery. While the novel is grounded in the struggles of a Vietnam veteran, its themes of repression and acceptance resonate universally.
