The Next Together


Review: The Next Together - Book #1 The Next Together Series - Lauren James - September 2015
Are you a fan of reincarnation stories ? Do you believe that each reincarnation you can fall in love with the same soul from the time before ? For Katherine Finchley and Matthew Galloway , every so many years the pair fall in love and have their love cut short as one of them or both will pass and then the whole lifecycle starts over again - the meeting , the deja vu feeling , the love and romance, then death. Will the pair in the current year of 2039 finally get their Happily ever after moments or will they lose sight of one another once again ? The book starts in the year 2039 at Nottingham University where Biology student Kate has met her new lab partner Matt - she senses that she knows him , there is a connection but she has never seen him before. The book then jumps back to their very first meeting in the year 1745 's as Katherine is preparing for the sale of her Grandmother's estate in Carlisle and she meets a servant Matt Galloway who is over to help the English from the dangers headed with the Jacobites as this is the war of Charles - Prince Bonny from Scotland. The next meeting is in the year 1854 where Matthew Galloway is a journalist for The Times and is needing an assistant to help him as he travels to the war front where the Crimean War is breaking out and applying as his assistant is Kit Finchly aka Kate who has dressed as an orphan boy. There are several more instances over the next few decades/ centuries and then finally falling into the year 2019 where married couple Katherine and Matthew Galloway were chemists who were shot and convicted as terrorists. Now in the present time , Katherine and Matt will try to prove to the world that they weren't terrorists and try this time to save one another from dying as their memories of the past come back to them in full-blown mode.
The Next Together was an awesome novel and if you love time-travelling books , then you will find this book really enjoying to read and I have to commend Lauren James on the ability to flow beautifully between the different time periods as some who try, their stories come out disjointed.  I have now added Book #2 The Last Beginning to my Goodreads To-read list as it will be released sometime in 2016

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
