Review: Lock Me Inside - Book #1 The Locked Duet - C. Hallman - November 2022

Lenora's life used to be great as she was on her way to becoming a successful gymnast and had a shot at the Olympics. That was until she had an accident that caused her to almost be paralyzed, she had to wear a back brace and have surgery on her spine. At school, she was bullied and made to look like a snob and someone too good for the rest of them. Two of her bullies were brothers Colt and Nixon. Now coming home from spending time with her grandmother, she is surprised to find out that her mother has moved in with her boss James Alistair, and is now engaged to her. The downside though is his sons are two of her bullies and the worst of them. Now Lenora is stuck in a home with two young men who are determined to break her in any way they can from physical and mental abuse. Lenora thinks though she has had the worst she can have happened, Colt and Nixon are nothing compared to their father and the horrors he will bring upon Lenora. Lock Me Inside was quite a dark romance and one that has a lot of Trigger Warnings involved. This book is not for the faint-hearted and crosses the line from dark romance to sexual abuse and degradation. This book I would rate this as an R18-21+ read and reminded me of the A Hurt So Sweet series by Isabella Starling.

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: Mother's Instinct - Barbara Abel - Reprinted 2023 Imagine you and your next-door neighbors become the best of friends, so much that you practically live at each other's houses and then you end up getting pregnant at the same time and both have boys who become like brothers and they both have names starting with "M" - Max and Milo. The boys grow up and are inseparable, that is until tragedy happens and one of those boys ends up dying. One family grieves, while the other tries to protect their son and then eventually the parent with the child starts to get paranoid that something might happen to her son, as you know a "Mother's Instinct" is strong. Mother's Instinct was a twisted read that the ending blew me away as I didn't see that coming. Upon more research after finishing the book, I saw that it had been made into a Belgium movie and it's also being made into a US movie starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain. Reading the boo...
