Book review: Tick Tock ~ Jane Harvey-Berrick

How far would you go to make the world a better place? Would you write letters with soldiers overseas, or would you join them in their harsh, brutal battle? Tick Tock tells the story of Amira and James, two young people in the middle of conflict that’s impossible to win without pain and heartbreak. I can’t say I’ve enjoyed the […]

Book review + excerpt: Hero Hair ~ Rachel Robinson

Book review + excerpt: Hero Hair ~ Rachel Robinson

Hero Hair is the second book in ‘the Real Seal Series’ by Rachel Robinson. Like her other books it tells a story about real people dealing with real issues in circumstances they can’t control. The blurb of Hero Hair intrigued me; two total commitment-phobes finding each other and trying to make it work… I love the story of Teala and […]

Book review: Black and White Flowers ~ Rachel Robinson

Book review: Black and White Flowers ~ Rachel Robinson

All I need is a time […]

Book review: Time and Space ~ Rachel Robinson

One of my favorite types of books is the ‘second-chance romance’. The story of two people who have loved before, got separated through circumstances and are now giving their love a second-chance. Time and Space by Rachel Robinson falls exactly into this category. It’s written in a beautiful and realistic way. I love it. “I was taken as a prisoner […]

Book review: Out of Plans ~ Stylo Fantôme

Early October I’ve read a great book, Best Laid Plans by Stylo Fantôme. It’s not your conventional love story – boy and girl meet, love, some trouble, happily ever after – but an absolutely great read I adore. The story ends in a cliffhanger, and Out of Plans is the sequel I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. The story […]
