All she wanted was the life they had…

It is the day of Erin’s fortieth birthday party. Pink and silver balloons drift through her garden, the platters of food are empty and the recycling is overflowing with empty wine bottles.

As Erin mingles with groups of family and friends, surrounded by love and laughter, she feels like the luckiest woman alive. She has no idea what fate has in store …

Then a little red envelope lands on the doormat and everything changes.

Review: From My Balcony by Patricia Bond #WNYAuthor

Do you want to live your life or hide from it? Diana knew she lied to her best friend when she said she wanted to live it.

Amazon
Books2Read
Website

Oh, how desperately she wanted to hide! Hide from her husband’s betrayals, hide from the blame and guilt heaped on her by her younger daughter’s refusal to accept the divorce, hide from the pity, the questions, the snarky innuendos from her “friends.” Most of all, hide from herself and her failures. Her family accepted her need to “find herself,” and this apartment in the south of France was perfect with its balcony and view of the sea and town. Low enough to be able to watch life happen below her, high enough to not participate in any of it. Now if only the gentle people of Cassis would let her do that.

Review: The First Date by Zara Stoneley #OneMoreChapter #NetGalley

The First Date by Zara Stoneley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Zara Stoneley, One More Chapter and NetGalley for providing this book so I may bring you this review.

The First Date by Zara Stoneley is an incredibly cute and funny read that many can relate to. This book will make you smile and laugh out loud at times. Not to mention you may be able to relate to it at times.

I absolutely loved the front cover of The First Date. The cup of coffee with the heart foam was perfect! Loved the font layout and the colors as well. Kudos to the Graphic Designer on this cover.

There were so many aspects of this book I totally related to the main character. So much so I found myself cracking up laughing at the character! You have to love all the references to Tinder, online dating, not looking like your online profile pic, and shaving habits.

My fave part of the storyline where this guy wanted to give her pointers on how to go on first dates. Who does or says that in real life?!

If you are looking for a fun and comical read pick this one up.

Review: Until I Find You By Rea Frey #NetGalley

 Until I Find You by Rea Frey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Rea Frey, St. Martin’s Griffin and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Every Mother’s worst nightmare comes true in Until I Find You by Rea Frey! This is an incredible must read that pull on your heart strings, shock you, and question who you can really trust.

Rea dedicates this book to her daughter Sophia the brightest light she will ever see.

One major theme in this book I found is stick to your gut instinct and never give up! No matter if nobody believes you never give up!

Rea incredibly impressed me thinking outside the box and diagnosing her main character Rebecca with an eye disease that left her blind. Rea does an amazing job showing us not just telling how Rebecca navigates motherhood and everyday life. I am not a mother but I couldn’t imagine how challenging it would be being visually impared.

Besides Rebecca’s story there were other side stories going on as well. Many of them tied to Rebecca’s in one way or the other.

This is one book that will stay with you long after you are finished with it.

Review: The Man I Loved Before By Anna Mansell #BookonTour #Bookouture #NetGalley

When Jem writes to her ex Ben, it’s to explain everything. All the secrets she kept from him – from the little lies she’d sometimes tell about how new those shoes really were, or how many glasses of wine she’d had that evening… right up to The Big Thing that happened on the night that changed everything. But she never expects he will actually see what she’s written.

She is just writing because she thinks it will help to get the words out. Later, she resolves, she’ll burn the letter, and then the past will be in the past for good.

Because Jem is doing fine now. She’s busy: working, spending time with her best friend, and looking after her mother, who’s in remission from cancer. She’s even dating again and has just met a guy who she thinks she could actually fall for. At long last, Jem is really, definitely somewhere close to happy.

Review: The Surprise Circus by Dr. Carol and Aria Soloway

The SURPRISE CIRCUS is an inspiring and imaginative children’s book which takes the message, you have to believe in yourself and you can achieve great things—even something as amazing as becoming the ringmaster of your own circus—to children. In the book, six-year-old Aria is disappointed because the circus doesn’t come to her town, but each week, the ringmaster sends her a circus character whose mischievous antics will delight and dazzle children. The strongman lifts all the furniture, the juggler throws her baby sister in the air, the fire eaters burns down the curtains, the clowns throw her mommy’s fresh baked pie in the air, etc..

Review: The Book of Us By Andrea Michael #OneMoreChapter #HarperCollinsPublishing #NetGalley

She had to be able to look back at this as a time that was sacred, magical. There would be pain enough later.

Cass and Loll used to be inseparable. They met at university and they made sense, like two halves of a whole. They had planned their lives around each other, writing down their dreams in The Big Book of Our Life – the things they wanted to achieve, the places they’d go after they finished university. But then one night changed everything.

From the moment Emily was born, reaching out with her tiny little star-shaped hand towards her mother, blinking with long eyelashes over soft blue eyes, she became Rachel’s whole world.

For You I Fall (Angels and Misfits Book 1) by T.N. Nova and Colette Davison really took me by surprise on how much I enjoyed it. The reason I say it surprised me is that I am not a huge fan of paranormal persay. I knew there would be an aspect of this to the story. Knowing that I enjoy reading MM Romance Novels I decided to take a chance. I am glad that I did. The aspect of paranormal and romance was a very sweet story of Seth being human and Dante being his protector angel. Plus there was a hint of mystery to it as well. So, basically something for everyone.

Date and Dash by Susan Halter pulled on my heart strings, made me tear up at times, and even made me laugh. There were some valuable life lessons thrown into the book as well.

I absolutely loved the relationship that Grammy and Mary Ann shared growing up. I loved how sentimental Grammy’s bracelet was to her. It touched me to what great lengths she would go to protect her Grammy’s memory.

Trevor was my favorite character in Date and Dash. He had a heart of gold, was selfless, patient, kind, attractive, and most of all saw past all of Mary Ann’s flaws.

I would highly suggest this book.

Thank you to NH Kuhn and Normandie Alleman for providing with an advanced copy of this book so I could bring you this review. Poor Little Daddies Girl by Normandine Alleman had me cracking up laughing at some of Charmaine’s and Hunter’s dialog. Who says, “Who peed in your Cheerio’s?” My favorite line was “You know you’re about as much fun as a colonoscopy with no drugs.” Charmaine is your typical wealthy, spoiled brat who gets into trouble and is only famous to be famous. She is lonely, on a destructive path, and dates all the wrong men for her. That is until Hunter a hunky firefighter rescues her from her apartment fire. The apartment is not the only thing that sparks a flame! I love how Normadie describes all the naughty scenes between the two characters. As they say firefighters find them hott and leave them wet! That is exactly what these two characters did! Poor Little Daddies Girl by Normadie Alleman gets 4 out of 5 hot steamy kisses from me.

David Bell does an amazing job grasping the reader’s full attention from the first page to this fantastically written mystery novel. There were so many twist, turns, and draw dropping speechless moments that I was on the edge of my seat for.

I loved the beginning of the book when Nick is at the grocery store and he thinks he sees his long lost late college sweetheart Marissa at the grocery store. We have all done that seen someone’s doppelganger. This was an odd coincidence that he would run into someone that looked exactly like her 20 years later. Odd thing is she seemed scared of him.

Review: The Boy in the Barn By Ciana Stone

The Boy in the Barn by Ciana Stone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

Dang!! Boy in the Barn was the darkest books that Ciana Stone has ever written. I have been a huge fan of hers and knows that she writes in multiple genres (one reason she is one of my favorite authors). However, this one is unlike any of the other ones she has written before. I a very extremely open-minded reader but there were times when she shocked the heck out of me! I had to make sure this was a Ciana book. Yup, no hot cowboys in this one lol!

This book contains triggers so please keep this in mind when deciding to read Ciana’s book. The Boy in the Barn contains physical and sexual abuse, of torture and murder. It also deals with child abuse and sex trafficking. This book is not for the faint of heart.

From the first few pages I was totally shocked out of my mind. Then I thought oh how I wish this could have happened to one of my exes! But wow that must have hurt!!

There was one scene that was very prudish even for Ciana that I had to laugh like crazy! I can’t give it away! Let’s just say it involved anal sex.

I will admit I was not a fan of the cult or what happened in the cult. Some of the scenes were extremely graphic and my heart went out to those who were affected by it. I would definitely read from Ciana if she continues this path-but some scenes were little too much.

What I did love was the amazing love story in this book. Yes, she found away to get a love story in here.

If you have read her books in the past you know that she loves the Navy Seals. There is a storyline about this as well.
