Review: My Dark Romeo - Book #1 Dark Prince Road Series - Parker S. Huntington and LJ Shen - March 2023 This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for a while and it's a story, I have been meaning to read ever since it was first released. I decided as I have had a bad reading month, to grab it to give it a go. I was hooked by the first page which was like a prologue or summary that summed up the whole book in a few paragraphs. The book is set in the world of billionaires, debutantes, and Southern old-money manners. The type of world where the daughters have been promised to men that they have never met, engagements that are purely business related. Dallas is 21 years old and engaged to Madison Licht, she is your epitome of a rich, spoiled girl. One who doesn't care about anything but shopping and food. She has wasted her education skating through university. She is the type that will and hasn't ever worked a day in her life. All she wants in life is to be a mother - she has...

Review: Do You Remember? - Freida McFadden - January 2022 I have felt this month has been quite a slow reading one for me, even more than usual and I am not sure the reason, though we have been busier at work. I just haven't had the energy or passion to read as much. In saying that I still know that compared to others, it probably seems like a good amount but in myself it makes me feel a little disappointed as I know I can do way better and it's not like I am not spoilt for choice. After having a DNF with a romance, I knew a thriller could change my mind and I am busy enjoying Freida McFadden's psychological thrillers. This one had me thinking about Megan Goldin's Stay Awake as it followed a similar situation, where the main female Tess had experienced some trauma a year ago. Now every couple of days, she wakes up with no current memory and believes it is seven years ago. A world before her company made billions, a world where she was engaged to the man of her dreams Ha...
