Book Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Adam LS and Raquel Studios for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Adam LS is back with another very powerful poetry book from the heart but this time it is With Faith. The poems that pulled on my heartstrings were Conclusion, Iron,  and I belonged. It is another must read book from Adam. 

Adam would like to dedicate With Faith to those seeking faith and those that lost faith. By dying, we awaken. He is everything. Have Faith.

First I want to thank Adam L.S and Raquel Studios for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

With Love written by Adam L.S and illustrated by Darren is not a typical genre that I would normally read or review.  However, I was drawn to this book because each chapter Adam would open his heart and pour so much raw emotions onto his pages. 

There were a few poems that really pulled on my heart strings and wanted to reach out to him for a comforting hug. 

Adam is a very gifted and talented poet that writes from personal experiences and events. 

Adam would like to dedicate this book to The Salleys & Keelines.  All who do their best to be in service to  others each day. Those in recovery and in search of a new   life free from addiction. Parents, educators, and doctors. Those with love  in their hearts, therefore, all of us.

THE HANUKKAH HOOK-UP

It was only supposed to last for one night.

Work-obsessed Nora Ruben is tired of playing by all the rules. Especially when no one else seems to be. When her boss delivers grim news – at the company “holiday” party, of all places – she’s done being the model employee. At least for one night – the night of the Matzo Baller, her friend’s famed Hanukkah harbor cruise around Manhattan. And if the cute co-worker from the suburban office is along for the ride? All the better. 

She has just one condition: no work talk, from sundown to sunrise.

Alex Beckman has never quite found where he fits in his family’s business. And he never wanted to take the lead on a major acquisition, especially of a company he knows nothing about. But when he’s sent to reduce the staff by half – and finds sexy, whip-smart Nora Ruben at the top of the list –  he’s determined to dig deeper. It helps that she assumes he’s just a fellow comrade in the cubicles. When Nora invites him to ditch the party for the cruise, this nice Midwestern Jewish boy jumps at the chance… 

But when eight hours on a boat turns into an amazing weekend together…firing Nora is the last thing on Alex’s mind. Will their Hanukkah hook-up confirm his worst fears about the future of his family business – or be the beginning of something miraculous?

The Hanukkah Hook-Up

Written By Jessica Topper 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank WNY Author Jessica Topper for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

It is that time of year again where the kiddos go back to school, the weather starts changing, and authors start publishing their holiday books.  Jessica Topper is just one of those many authors that has a new holiday book out called The Hanukkah Hookup out. As long as she doesn’t jinx our snow here in Buffalo, NY I told her that I would gladly review it for her. 

This book is dedicated to Amanda Usen who brings light and joy to Jessica’s soul all year long and is her partner in crime. Amanda also needs to be commended for the beautiful and creative cover design she did for The Hanukkah Hookup. It is very eye-catching and makes you want to know what the book is about. 

So many parts of Jessica’s book had me cracking up laughing!! I loved all the pop culture references, the matzo baller and omg all the food references were making me hungry!! It was a very well written book.

When Sophie Thatcher wakes up in a room she doesn’t recognize after a night she can’t remember, she assumes she had too much to drink and went home with a date.

Except…the date is nowhere to be found.

No one is.

The space she finds herself in is completely nondescript—the walls bare, fridge empty.

And just when she thought things couldn’t get bleaker or more confusing, she realizes the doors are locked from the outside.

Trapped inside an unfamiliar place and faced with a clock counting down to a mysterious deadline, Sophie tries desperately to recall the hours missing from her memory and formulate a plan to escape, but each attempt proves more futile than the last.

Hidden away from the world and unable to contact the people who would care that she’s missing, Sophie has two questions ringing in her mind: Who would bring her to this place? And why?

When she’s joined in her personal prison by someone she never thought she’d see again, everything changes and the idea of her being a random target instantly vanishes.

Whoever brought Sophie to this place has plans for her and, if she can’t figure out a way to escape before time runs out, her fate may be to remain hidden forever.

Ominous, dark, and completely disturbing, this pulse-pounding thriller from the twisted mind of million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin is unlike anything you’ve read before.

There’s a knock at the door. It’s every mother’s worst nightmare: the police are here. They tell me my beautiful daughter Charlotte has been hurt. They’ll take me to the hospital, there’s no time to lose… and I know this must be all my fault.

Charlotte and I argued so badly the last time we spoke. I was just worried about her, but she refused to hear me out. And now she’s lying pale, still and silent in a hospital bed. I’m convinced this was no accident: the police should be questioning her boyfriend, Freddie.

I never thought he was good enough for her, but did he hurt my daughter? Guilt floods through me again and again. If we hadn’t argued, she wouldn’t have been with him today. If we hadn’t argued, I could have been there for her. But I didn’t listen and instead, she pushed me away. I didn’t even know my darling girl was pregnant.

And now she’s lost forever. The doctors say she will never wake up: the only part of her they can save is her unborn child…

There’s only one thing I can do. He may be my grandchild’s father, but I know Freddie is dangerous. I’ll fight with everything I have to prove he’s guilty.

I failed to protect Charlotte, but how far will I have to go to keep her baby safe? And will what’s left of my family ever survive: or will my part in my daughter’s death tear us all apart?

A heartbreaking and totally compelling novel about the never-ending depths of a mother’s love. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Kate Hewitt.

Emma Robinson is the author of several women’s fiction novels. She also blogs about the funny side of parenting and has contributed to podcasts such as Funny Women. Whilst her early novels are humorous, her recent work focuses on emotional themes and these novels are both heart-breaking and life affirming. Emma enjoys writing stories which explore the power of family and friendship in the most challenging circumstances.

Emma currently lives in Essex with a husband, two children and a small black dog.

All My Fault 

Written By Emma Robinson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Emma Robinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing this book so I may bring you this review. 

Ohhh how I have been craving an Emma Robinson book!! Her books always give me the feels, touch my heart in so many ways, and make me tear up! In All My Fault she goes a little dark and adds a little mystery which is refreshing from some of her past stories. If you are a die hard fan of Emma’s like I am you will need to go pick this one up. 

All My Fault focuses on a truly heartbreaking unthinkable tragedy where Charlotte was injured in an accident. My heart broke in two for her poor mother who had to piece everything together of what really happened to her daughter. Oh there were so many wickedly shocking twists and turns that I was even stunned by some of them.
