Take Me As I Am

Review: Take Me As I Am - Erin Lee - December 2016




 One of my favorite edgier authors is Erin Lee, she works as a therapist, and her books reflect her job as she targets the edgy topics that most people are afraid to write about. Take Me As I Am on domestic violence in relationships. Emma Harrison as bounced from one guy to another and always seems to pick the wrong ones, that is until she meets Riley Torres. He seems to be her Prince Charming, but looks can be deceiving as behind doors Riley isn't all he is cracked up to be in fact he is an abuser. He controls Emma and pushes her away from her family. Emma, of course, being the faithful girlfriend believes it's her family in the wrong as no matter what happens Riley loves her and always will. Take Me As I Am an interesting read as it shows from the female POV the way an abusive relationship works as often the female does believe it's her own fault and that the reason it's happening is because she isn't good enough and should be better. The other thing is it is a hard cycle to break free from and there may be times when your relationship is like a ping pong ball going back and forth but with support and help, you can break free eventually.  If you are in the mood for an edgy book that does have a strong focus on Domestic Violence , then check out Erin Lee's Take Me As I Am today.

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
