Even If It Hurts

Review: Even If It Hurts - Marni Mann - January 2020
I had been in the mood for an ugly cry book and figured with the title Even If It Hurts, that it would be an emotional read and in a way, it was but wasn't the teary emotional I was looking for at the time. This book more played at your emotional ethics and morals. The book features intensity when it comes to love, that feeling of love that people only experience once or twice in life if they are lucky as some people may never feel it. Our main female character Chloe felt that intense love twice and it caused her to make some decisions that she wasn't happy about. The first time she discovered what love really was, she was studying in London and fell for Oliver.  A future though for them wasn't in the cards, but as the years pass each definitely felt the what-if question. Needing to move on with her life, Chloe met Lance and fell for him. It wasn't as strong as Oliver but she definitely loved him and he gave her the whole world. When Chloe is offered an experience of a lifetime working in Amsterdam for six months, she jumps at it and Lance being the supportive husband approves her taking the job. What Chloe didn't expect though was that in the same building and offices would be none other than Oliver, ten years later - her feelings are still present and without meaning it to happen - the pair start an affair. When that six months is up though, Chloe heads back home to Lance yet her heart is divided. Even If It Hurts is a Love Triangle novel and leaves the readers with What If? scenarios running through their minds. Even If It Hurts is about saying goodbye to the ones you truly love if it means, in the long run, they have a chance to be happy despite the consequences.  I personally was in two minds about this book as I loved the whole idea of love lost as I know myself what it feels like as I have had a connection to two guys myself and if I met up with the other guy - I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I would hope I would be strong but I am not 100% sure I could be. The thing I didn't enjoy was the fact that she cheated on her husband and didn't have the guts to tell him.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Penny Reid

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
