Home Tears

Review: Home Tears - Tijan - December 2016


One of the things that get me is by being a big reader is that you get fussy with what you read and often find yourself in slumps where everything you try is just not resonating with you. When this happens, I tend to try and go back and read some of my oldie books and certain authors that I know will always be able to pull me out of my reading slumps. Tijan is one of those authors as her books always pack a powerful punch and often contain that original feeling of the new adult genre filled with angst before it got a saturated genre. Home Tears was originally written as Home Torn and offered as a freebie, a few years later she decided to rewrite and add more to it and that final product was Home Tears. In-Home Tears, we meet Dani O'Hara who has come home for the first time in ten years. When she left and during the years she broke a lot of hearts and Dani has always seemed to leave a trail of destruction, not that she means to but it is her curse - people die around her or get hurt. Being back in town means she has to face a lot of demons from her ex-boyfriend Jake who dated her sister Erica who died and Dani missed the funeral and now he dates her other sister Julia. Julia and Dani are complete opposites and have never seen eye to eye and it shows in this book. Dani has been running for too long and now she is about to rip a storm through the remaining O'Haras as she uncovers a whole truckload of hidden secrets and lies. Dani also does get her own romance story with the town's resident bad boy turned good guy Jonah Baron as he helps her to slowly break down her walls. Home Tears is a very angsty read and if you don't mind dysfunctional family drama, then this is the read for you.  I think in some ways it is better that I haven't read Home Torn as I got to go into this book with fresh eyes as I think if I had, I probably would be trying to compare the storylines together. So overall, I think this is a case of reading one or the other but not both as you will get more enjoyment out of it.

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
