    Book Review: The Girl on the Train

    August 22, 2016 /

    Some of you may have already read Paula Hawins’ The Girl on the Train, but I just got around to reading it this summer in time for the movie’s release this fall. When I first heard about the novel, I heard some comparisons to Gone Girl, which I enjoyed because it was one of the first books I had read that had twists that I never saw coming and I loved that. Is it similar? In my opinion it is similar in the fact that there are twists and also plenty of times that I kept trying to figure out what really happened and who is “good”, who’s “bad”, and/or is the…

    Book Review: The Postcard Killers

    August 23, 2015 /

    Last month I read my first ever book by James Patterson, The Postcard Killers. I first heard of the book a few years ago — it was on one of those bestseller lists or popular reads lists. The basis of the story is that a New York City detective, Jacob Kanon, teams up with Dessie Larsson, a young Swedish journalist. Jacob has been been following a string of murders in Europe and is desperate to find these serial killers because he has personally been effected by them. How does Dessie factor in? The killers like to send postcards giving clues as to where the next murder will be taking place or…

2 Fights by @nikkicastleromance is the second book 2 Fights by @nikkicastleromance is the second book in the Fight Game series and follows Jax and Hailey. We met both characters in 5 Rounds. Jax is best friends with both Remy and Tristan and Hailey is Remy’s younger sister. Glimpses of Hailey’s toxic relationship was seen in the first book and in 2 Fights she begins to realize how harmful her boyfriend has been to her mental health and self esteem. Jax helps her through it all and reminds her of her amazing she is. Jax has looked out for Hailey since she was a kid but is now seeing her in a different light and realizing how beautiful and grown up she is. Hailey had a crush on Jax when she was a kid but now is there something there? They have always had chemistry, but now with all the time they’re spending together they can’t nor do they want to be apart. 💕📚

The love between Jax and Hailey is really sweet. We see their relationship go from a loving friendship to a soulmate type of love. There is lots of good spice, but the real story is about Hailey’s healing from her past and how Jax helps her along the way👫. I loved the book! My obsession with them is a little less than with Remy and Tristan, but still loved the book. 

This is great for lovers of sports romance, friends to lovers, and sister’s best friend/best friend’s sister tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Hide from the Light by @scorelucy picks Things We Hide from the Light by @scorelucy picks up right after Things We Never Got Over and focuses on Nash and Lina. Nash, our lovable police chief, is silently dealing with ptsd from almost dying and his shooter still on the run. Lina , our fiesty insurance investigator, is adjusting to temporarily living in the small town of Knockemout and surprisingly liking it. There was an instant attraction between the two and for some reason Nash can only feel calm and not anxious when she’s with him and Nash is the first person Lina has ever remotely considered a relationship with. 📖

 Can Nash be the one to change her mind about relationships? Can Lina help him through his PTSD and be happy again? Will Nash be okay when he finds out that Lina is in town because she’s coincidentally after the same guy who tried to kill him? 👀 💖

I loved this book! Nash and Lina were such great characters and I was happy to be back in Knockemout with beloved characters especially Knox, Naomi, and Way of course! 💕📚

Read this if you’re in the mood for a spicy contemporary romance with brother’s best friend and forced proximity vibes. Now I can’t wait for Lucian and Sloane’s book! My full review is on the blog! 📚✨

I loved Always a Princess by @clyverose a few year I loved Always a Princess by @clyverose a few years ago so when she sent me her follow up in the series, The King’s Mistress, I was so excited! The novel takes place a few years after Always a Princess and follows Lydia, Wil’s younger sister who is now at marrying age, and Valkin, Syeira’s brother who is a Romany king. 👑 

When Lydia finds out that her father has betrothed her to an old and mean Earl, she runs away to try to get to France to find safety in her eldest brother, Roger. But on the way she happens upon the Romany camp where Valkin, Syeira, and Wil live. Lydia claims she is the mistress of Valkin for protection. Wil and Syeira are away and Valkin does not recognize her after so many years. Unwilling to reveal her true identity in order to protect Valkin’s people, Lydia is comforted by the feeling of community and family (and the rekindling of her childhood crush on Valkin) until she is well enough to head to France. Valkin knows she should go for the safety of his people but he also doesn’t want to let her go. 💕

The slow burn, tension, and angst in this book was so good! I loved Lydia and Valkin and getting to see beloved couple Wil and Syeira and their growing family again. My full review is on the blog ✨📖
