Courageous: A Novel
Review: Courageous - Randy Alcorn - August 2011
If I had to sum this novel up in one word , it would be "WOW" . Writing this review is harder than I thought as this book would have to be one of the most amazing and outstanding novels that I have read ever. Where to start , Courageous focuses on four men - all Police officers who after a series of incidents and miracles decide to re-examine their lives and make a vow to God to forever be there in his name and to care for their families and be Men of God. The novel starts off with the newest Police officer Nathan Hayes , he and his family have just moved to Albany for a new life . On his first day, he stops at a petrol station to fill his car and his car is high-jacked - Nathan only thinking about his baby son Jackson in the backseat rushes to the truck and doesn't let go as the car is bustling down the highway , all for the love of saving his baby boy. What a father would do for their children is purely amazing and so heart-wrenching in Randy's new novel Courageous. I couldn't help as I was reading it , my eyes started tearing up and tears rolled down my cheeks - it was such an emotional novel, the love that poured out from the fathers. Adam - we see him go through tragedy as he loses a child but in the process ,he gains not only God's love but his family back and two children. David , five years ago -he was on a bad track and got a women pregnant and had a daughter. When he finds God, the first thing he does is writes a letter to the mother apologising and asking for her forgiveness as he would like a part in Olivia - his daughter's life if she allows and lastly Javier , him and his wife Carmen were low on money and left wondering how to support their family and children -when a miracle occured leading Javier to a job which lead to a door opening for Javier to meet Nathan and the others . Read as God touches and blesses Javier's family as they put their complete trust in him. This is one novel that I encourage every single person - female or male -especially male to read and if you aren't a reader , then keep your eyes peeled as Courageous is being made into a movie and it's definitely one movie I'm adding to my To be watched list.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
