Review: Second Time's The Charm - Stephanie Rose - May 2024 I have had a couple of months without my e-reader as it decided to die on me and then thank god for partners,  as my partner surprised me with a brand new Kindle Paperwhite for my birthday which meant I could get back to reading on my ebook reader. YAY. Stephanie Rose's book caught my attention as I am a sucker for second-chance romances as my personal story with my partner is just that. The book starts twenty years ago when our main characters were 17/18 years old and off to college/university. They have been high school sweethearts and dating right through the four years. Everything was great until Jesse dropped a big bombshell on Emily and shattered her heart into tiny pieces. The pair never saw each other or spoke a word again till twenty years later when Emily and Sabrina decide to attend their high school 20th reunion and run into Jesse and Caden. Caden was Sabrina's friend with benefits right through high sc...

Review: Grace - Book #6 The DiMarco Series - Jennifer Hanks - June 2019 I have said over and over again that if there was one book family that I would love to be a part of, it would have to be The DiMarco Family. They are a large family but they have hearts and if you gel with them, they will welcome you with open arms once you are in their circle, it is hard to get out as you won't want to leave. I am sad in a way as after finishing Grace, I only have one more book to read in this series and hope that we may have the next generation series by Jennifer Hanks - that she writes the kids stories like a few other authors have done. Grace is the youngest of the DiMarco's and she is also the only girl in the family with her seven older brothers. We got a quick snippet of Grace's story in Jake's story as Luke was shot and in hospital, Grace runs into Tyler Morgan. Grace and Tyler have a rocky start and see each other a couple of times over the year but then a year passes and...
