Review: #LoveStrong by Courtney Lynn Rose
Every now and then there is a book that comes out of no where and just slays you. You can’t let it go. It has buried itself so deep into your skin that it has become a piece of you. That is #LoveStrong for me. I’m not a person who is easy to cry or really let anything get that deep into me, yet Courtney Lynn Rose totally ripped me to pieces within just the prologue of #LoveStrong. I read this book a couple weeks ago but when a book sticks to me like this I have to back away and let it run its course so that I can…

Paper Hearts by Jen Atkinson
Paper Hearts by Jen Atkinson is exactly the clean young adult paranormal romance that we have come to expect. Beautifully written and this time the paranormal part is very light. It’s more of a side note in my mind. Atkinson is always able to interweave such emotion, realism and meaning in her books. Paper Hearts brings this back to the forefront. Jen Atkinson is an author who drags you into a beautifully built world that while seeming completely idyllic has it’s major hiccups. The storyline keeps you grounded in the book. You can close your eyes and feel the surroundings. Her characters grow and develop so seamlessly. I have yet…

Review: The Mage’s Pawn by AE Folk
It’s been a long time since I have read a fantasy book, but it took mere seconds for A.E. Folk to remind my why I once loved it. In those few seconds Folk’s descriptive talents had me walking alongside Bridget and her family. I wasn’t just a reader watching this quest , I was an active participant. Folk has such an exquisite way of describing the surrounding, using all of the senses that it will draw you straight in. Her characters are very well thought out and develop as the story progresses. Folk gets you invested to see if Bridget and her troop of acquaintances/friends will succeed in their journey.…

Review: The Connelly Boys by Lily Velez
If you a looking for a great paranormal young adult read Lily Velez’ The Connelly Boys has you covered. It’s been a while since I’ve read a paranormal book that wasn’t more strongly romance. The Connelly Boys, while it does have a romance in it, filled the ticket for me. The romance was more a secondary line in this book. The story of Scarlet Monroe is a complex situation and one that tugs at the heart strings. Scarlet has just lost her mother and has to leave her whole life in the states behind. Moving to Ireland to live with a father who she doesn’t really know. Scarlet starts to…

Review: Away From Here by Christopher Harlan
I almost made this my first vlog book review but I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep my composure with this book. And becoming a rambling crazy woman on video is not my idea of fun lol. I pre-ordered Away from Here because it sounded good and because I like the author, Christopher Harlan. Yet, it has taken me this long to actually be able to read the book. I have to be honest what I read was NOT what I expecting to read. I thought (or rather assumed) that it was going to be a generic love story. Truly, I should have known better. What I got was…

Review: The Now or Never Moment Omnibus by Katie Kaleski
With everything going on in my personal life (that’s a whole other post ya’ll) I’m not sure if this was the book that I should have read or exactly what I needed. First let me say this book deals with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. I suffer from the first two daily. And I have personally dealt with the last one. During the last couple weeks I have been quiet on my blog due to the first one (depression). This is a hard time of the year for me. I’ll address that in a post sometime this week. With all that being said I think that Katie Kaleski handled and…

★.•*♥*•.★Book Review – Southern Perfection by Casey Peeler★.•*♥*•.★
Casey Peeler has re-released Southern Perfection and some how made the book even more perfect! Having had the chance to read the new version I have revised and updated my review. Grab some sweet tea, Kleenex’s, and Southern Perfection. Now that you have those get comfy and enjoy! The relationships between Raegan and Emmett is so sweet. Emmett is the type of young man that all girls dream of finding. My favorite part of the whole book though, the part that truly connected with me deeply was the relationship between Raegan and her Grandaddy. The love and bond that flows between them brought tears to my eyes. Raegan was raised…

★.•**•.★Love Always – Sonya Loveday & Candace Knoebel★.•**•.★
Have you noticed how technology has taken away the romance of receiving a letter in the mail from someone you love? How now a days it is so much easier to send a text or email than sit down and write pages and pages straight from the heart? I think that is one of the main reasons why Love Always, rang so deeply in my heart. I remember how my heart would race when I would receive a letter from my hubby. When we were just dating we lived in different states, and we would write each other at least once a week. I saw him and myself in the…
