One Last Chance by Nancy Stopper

First, I want to thank Nancy Stopper for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

One Last Chance by Nancy Stopper is Book 3 in the Oak Grove Series. I highly suggest you read this book after you read the others to get a sense of the characters and the story line. This is not a standalone book However, I will warn you that In this book might not be for everyone. Especially if you were once in a verbally or physically abusive relationship. It may bring up bad memories for you. There are some violent scenes in the book as well.

I absolutely LOVED this book for so many reasons! Rachel proved over and over again what was not going to kill her was going to make her stronger- no matter what she was going through. Thank God she had the love and support from her brothers, Sawyer, and eventually her parents. So many times my heart ached for Rachel and I wanted to reach into the book just to give her a big hug!! Nobody should ever go though what she went through or live in fear like she did.

What I was glad to see that through all of this she was able to find happiness in the end. She found strength and she found herself again.

The Lies We Believe by TK Chapin

First, I want to thank T.K. Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

The Lies We Believe in my opinion the best book he is ever written hands down! I am a huge fan of his work. This book was incredibly suspenseful with a lot of twists and turns that had you on the edge of your seat. At times you wanted to hug Ron for all he went through. Also worried about Emily!
With true T.K. fashion he sticks to his strong faith roots. This book focuses on what happens when Ron’s daughter Emily joins a new age church/cult. This is a subject I had never read about so it made for an interesting read.

I really enjoyed how Ron and Theresa met in the grocery store and their immediate connection. Their story is one that does not happen every day and is nice to read about. Theresa was good for him and was there for him in his time of need.

I loved the fact that T.K put a character by the name of Heidi in the book. Not many characters with my name are mentioned. That put a smile on my face.

This is a great genre for T.K. and I really hope he writes more books like this. 

One Last Objection by Nancy Stopper

First, I would like to thank Nancy Stopper for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

One Last Objection by Nancy Stopper is book 4 in the Oak Grove Series. This can be read as a Standalone. However, past characters from previous books show up in this book. For example, we learn in this book that Rachel broke up with Shane (thank God for that) and is now dating Sawyer! He has been so supportive in this book! Joey and Brittney are still together and doing well. However, Joey is having a hard time dealing with a family matter he just found out about.

Out of all the books in the series this was by far my favorite book out of all of them. I really enjoyed reading Michael and Maggie’s story and how it all unfolded. From the first scene they were in Nancy had you hooked! So many ups, downs, and twists and turns with that relationship. I was so happy for Maggie but I felt that Michael was putting it on way too thick. I didn’t blame her for getting PIH after dealing with everything she was going through.

Rachel’s situation pulled on my heart strings a little bit by learning more about birth Dad and that she had another family. However, I felt for her family that raised her as well. It was a complicated situation. But I could understand why Rachel would want to know her sisters and brother.

Only the Pretty Ones A Angry Girl Crime Stories by Karen M. Bryson

First, I have to thank Karen M. Bryson for providing me with this book so I may bring you this book.

Only the Pretty Ones an Angry Girl Crime Story by Karen M. Bryson is the BEST MYSTERY BOOK I have read in a long time!! I have not read from this author before but I will read anything she writes from now on hands down! Once I picked this book up I could not put it down until I knew the ending. WOW the ending was epic! I had an evil laugh at the end of it!! Flynn was my hero!!
This book has must be made into Lifetime TV Movie all over it! I would gladly be watching all the events and drama unfold! If you like books with a lot of twists and turns, abducting, blackmail, sisters who have eachothers backs, shocking moments, moments that will make you tear up, sick twisted senators and his messed up son, past family trauma, bad memories, love in unique places, and you actually wanting to jump in the book yourself and get revenge-then you must read this book!!

My heart went out to both of the sisters for what they both went through past, present! I just wanted to give them a big hug!! NO woman ever deserves what they went through!!!!
