In Every Heartbeat

Review : In Every Heartbeat - Kim Vogel Sawyer - September 2010

Reading Kim Vogel Sawyer's latest book , I wasn't too sure what to expect , all I knew was that due to enjoying her previous books , I was going to enjoy this one and boy did I ever . This would have to be one of my favourite books besides the Katy series by Kim Vogel Sawyer. The story though set just before World War One , it had a contemporary feel to it so that in some places it didn't even feel like you were reading a historical novel of sorts whereas it brought you back to the historical setting in other areas from the incident where a 16yr old boy was sentenced to be hanged and of course the preparation for the War which was about to happen. In Every Heartbeat it tells the story of three orphans of sorts who grew up in an orphanage together , all three have been enrolled into college and their lives are set to change. We have Libby - who wants to become a journalist but soon discovers that the only way for a woman to get her name in print is to write trashy romance short stories for local magazines, Petey who with his wooden leg was abandoned as a boy by his family and has dreams of becoming a Preacher - this novel sees Petey reunited in not nessecarily a good way with his family and Bennett - who wants to become an Engineer and for him joining a college fratenity and joining the army are on his list of priorities. When an incident occurs and separates the three with their different viewpoints , is this the end of their friendship for good or will a tragedy bring them back together and closer than ever.
Find out in  this awesome novel by Kim Vogel Sawyer and one I recommend all to read.

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...
