Promise Me

Review: Promise Me - Richard Paul Evans - October 2010

As a reader, every now and again you will read a book that will leave you thinking "WOW" that was such an awesome read. For me as I read sooo many books , when I come across a great one, it means for me that it is top of the market range.  Promise Me by Richard Paul Evans was just that. Author Richard Paul Evans is known for his tales of Inspirational novels and the best thing is that they are short as well and don't take too much to digest as they are short, simple but meaningful and deep and they are written in a way that everybody will interpret something differently and once you have finished reading it , you will go away and reflect. For me personally I find his writing to be philosphical fiction.
Promise Me reminded me of the films "The Time Traveller's Wife" and "The Lake House" with a dash of "The Ultimate Gift" and "Sundays at Tiffany's".
In the novel we are presented in current reality of Beth who is preparing a christmas dinner and as she goes to her jewellery box , she is presented with two necklaces. Neither necklace she has ever worn. The necklaces take her back to events that happened eighteen years ago , that changed her life forever. The first was finding out that her husband was cheating on her and the necklace was a make-up present and the second was meeting Matthew who presented her with a necklace. However both had dark secrets, Marc -Beth's husband was dying and only had 3-6 months left to live and Matthew was from the future.  Beth then tells the story of her life events leading up to the present where we discover that her Matthew is the same Matthew that married her daughter Charlotte eighteen years later.
An amazing and profound novel that you can't really describe and one that should be at the top of your To be Read Lists and if you are anything like me then your lists go on and on and on .....

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...
