Ulara (Ulara, #1)

Review: Ulara - Book #1 Ulara Series - Leesa Bow - March 2021



Most of my books, the thing I love is that I go into them blind as I find if you have built up expectations for a book, then you are more likely to be a let-down with the story. In Ulara, all I knew about it was that it was set in the Amazon jungle with a tribe and had a bit of romance to it. The book starts with the introduction of Samuel who for the past five years has been working in the deep Amazon for a tribe called Ulara as a doctor and learning under the Shaman as his apprentice, before this he rubbed shoulders with the wealthy but his heart wasn't in it until he got back to the land and worked with the tribesmen and nature. Every couple of years, his friends force him to come to the "real world" so they can assess his mental health and make sure he is still sane. On this trip though, he will see a beautiful blonde girl who will leave him to question the life choice he has made, this girl is Eden. Eden is finally trying to do something for herself and going on a trip to South America with her friends - her father's only rule was to stay out of the jungle. What will happen though when she meets a guy Samuel on her trip who despite trying to be cold, captures her heart and she follows him right into the heart of the jungle and meets the Ulara tribe. The tribe and their basic way of life will be an eye-opener for Eden and also when she returns home, will open Pandora's box of family secrets that her father has tried to keep closed. I enjoyed this book, but what was my favorite part was the way the author connected her grandmother’s trip to the jungle and Eden's and tied them together despite different times in history. The book ended on a small cliffhanger and I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 Wild at Heart when it is released.

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...
