Ever wondered what it could feel like to wake up one day and have lost the one thing you have based your life upon and around?
Review: Desert Gift - Sally John - 2011
What would you do if one morning you woke up and the one thing that you had based your whole life around and work around had disappeared without you realising it had come to this point in life , though you are trained to notice these things ?
For Jill Galloway, that's exactly what happened. For the past twenty-five years, she has been married to Dr. Jack Galloway and has spent these years writing marriage guides and giving relationship advice out to listeners and the public. She has her own radio show and books published. She is known to the public eye as a marital expert. However, behind closed doors is a different story as her husband Jack of twenty-five years has just announced that he wants a divorce- the Dreaded "D" word. The timing is anything but perfect, as the day Jack plants it on her - the day she is set out to go on a five-week Book Tour with her new Marriage guide to life.
Desert Gift flips between Jack's life in Chicago and Jill's in Los Angeles during the five week period, each analysing and trying to discover what went wrong. Is it time for Jill to start living her own advice and win her husband back or has Jack meet someone new and this is his way of starting his midlife crisis re-invention ?
Desert Gift is a novel that will show you that sometimes all you need to re-ignite the passion in a twenty-five year old marriage is a reality check and a wake-up call to discover what you have had isn't as bad as what you thought and no marriage is complete without having numerous roadblocks in the way.

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 - 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
