You'll all remember our VBT Stop of Author Anjuelle Floyd last week ,we did an interview with the author and talked about her new book with a synopsis "The House". Today readers, as promised is a review of "The House" by Anjuelle Floyd complete with the input from The Phantom Paragrapher.

                                            Review : The House- Anjuelle Floyd - 2009

For Anna Manning, the past 15 months has been utter mayhem and chaos - filled with hurt and betrayal and a loss of love. After 30+ years of marriage Anna and her husband ( ex-husband to be) if he would hurry up and sign the papers has been battling a divorce and all that has been standing in her way of conquering her dreams and regaining her life is the sale of their prior home - the one that Edward refuses to sign over half too. Anna dreams of moving to France with former rehabilitation patient Inman - Inman is the one person who loves Anna for exactly who she is and has been able to fill in heart with love and the thing that she had missed out from Edward all those years - affection. When their divorce settlement is about to go and become official , Anna realises something is terribly wrong with Edward and finds out that he has stage 4 cancer and has about 6 months to live-if that. With the realisation that Edward is unwell and needs help towards the end of his life - Anna decides to put the divorce on hold and move in with Edward to help and take care of him- like a wife should do. As the story progresses as we can imagine with novels like this we see Edward starting to change and Anna becoming a stronger women . Is Edward's illness the spark they needed to re-ignite their love for one another or is Anna's need and determination to be loved with affection and the way Inman shows it stand in her way ?. This novel is not really about Edward and his sickness but the journey that Anna must endure and take so that she can become that woman she was those many years ago and that when it comes down to the crunch , will Anna choose misery as she has in the past or will it finally be time for Anna to receive happiness back into her life ?
The House by Anjuelle Floyd is a novel of forgiveness and love and the fact that in the majority of situations our salvations lie in others not ourselves.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
