    Review: These Battered Hands - Laurel Ulren Curtis - September 2015 Firstly, I want to say that I have a cover crush on this book and that's what first drew me to the book, second was that earlier this year I read the author's book Quirks and Kinks and found it a fun read and then last , but not least the book is about gymnastics and I have a thing about reading sports orientated books. These Battered Hands was an amazing read and shows the inner lives of gymnasts, especially those who like the main character Callie are twice Olympian winners and aiming for a third at only 26 is amazing. Growing up , I loved watching The Cutting Edge movies though the films are about Ice Skating, I found them similar in theme and the way the book was written. In These Battered Hands, Callie is given a new coach called Nik who is around her age and a hunk. The pair of them , though they get off to a rocky start - they work wonders together and there is passion and chemistry si...

    Review: The Affiliate - Book #1 The Ascension Series - K.A Linde - September 2015 Firstly, I was attracted to the book due to the cover as it was amazing. If you love fantasy novels and epic adventures then The Affiliate by K.A Linde is for you. In a way this book reminded me of The Selection series by Kiera Cass as the main character Cyrene is chosen to be a representive on the Queen's council which is one of the most prestigious positions that anyone in her city could dream of . As the story goes along though, things start to get a bit on the rough side as Cyrene discovers that all isn't as it seems and that life this side of the fence isn't all rainbows and sunshine and she is pulled into a world of danger, adventure and if she's not careful then treachery will evolve. Like most epic fantasy novels, the first books are always a little bit slow to start off with as the first book tends to lay the groundwork for the series and introduce us to the d...

These Battered Hands by Laurel Ulen Curtis Date of Publication: September 29, 2015 Blurb Callie Blood, sweat, hard work, and a disconcerting lack of tears—my entire life—was meant to culminate in a flourish of glory and significance. I'd thought I'd always known exactly what that meant. But I'd had the timing wrong by about three minutes. I knew now. This moment wasn't everything. The one person I found myself wanting more than anything during it was. Nik One preconceived notion can haunt you for the entirety of your life. I thought I owed it to myself and to everyone who'd ever backed me to do what was expected. What was right. What I was supposed to do. But nothing is forbidden in love. Not circumstances or propriety or the denial of the object of said affection. I knew now. This was it. If I wanted it, I had to take it. This gymnastics love story is more than grips, rips, and battered hands. For Calia Nickleson and Nikolai Ba...

TITLE : BROKEN ROAD  AUTHOR : ADDISON KLINE  GENRE: ROMANTIC SUSPENSE  It is often said that time heals all wounds. The words are spoken like a promise... A vow. These words are said to people who have been beaten down to their lowest state. To the poor souls who have nothing left to lose. Whispered into the ear of a grieving daughter, told with a shrug to a man who has nothing left to live for.  These are dangerous people.  The down-trodden. The grieving. The ones who love more people dead than alive.  The words should never be uttered. Not to the ones who have no solid ground on which to stand upon, no rail in which to clasp. The white-knuckled moments of life have come to be expected rather than feared.  "Time heals all wounds."  The words are an insult. A slap in the face... and around here, they'll get you hurt. For Averi McClain and her husband Colt, there were few deeper insult...
