In that time she became the Queen Bee of her high school; pretty, popular, girlfriend of the hottest jock, wanted by every guy, feared by every girl ... she became the bitch, but has no memory of it. Together with the mysterious and attractive Finn, she starts to put together the pieces of the puzzle that has become her life. Will she go back to being a bitch or will she turn her life around? 

Review: Before starting the actual review I would like to thank the publisher for contacting me about reviewing this book. When I first read the synopsis of this book I was unsure that I would like it as I am not really a fan of romance novels. After only a few pages I was oddly hooked on the storyline. I am actually glad that I enjoyed this book and am able to give the author a positive review. This was an interesting and enjoyable read. I agreed to review this book as I wanted to branch out and experience new genres. This is the first romance novel that I have read and took a chance with. This book has definitely made me more open to the romance genre. What I liked about this book is that it is not set in a fake and perfect world; There is a realistic element to this world and all the events that take place. This book managed to grip my attention and pull me into the book. I found it hard to put this book down and stop reading. From the start I found my self rooting for the relationship of Lacey and Finn. This book has made me more open to reading more romance novels. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance novels. But on the flip side I would suggest that those who do not normally read romance books give this book a chance as I am sure that it will bring a whole new experience to the readers. I am happy to have this book as a part of my ever-growing collection and it will remain on my shelves permanently.

Book Review | Ruth Finnegan | Black Inked Pearl

Black Inked Pearl: A Girl's Quest

I received this book for free from the author. This book was sent to me through Bostick Communications. Ruth Finnegan, the author, sent me this book in exchange for an honest review. 

Author: Ruth Finnegan

Title: Black Inked Pearl

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: An epic romance about the naive Irish girl Kate and her mysterious lover, whom she rejects and then spends her life seeking. Beside an African river, Kate realises both her emotions and her passionate and consuming love for the man she rejected. The story becomes more mythic and timeless as Kate seeks her lover through Heaven and Earth, Eden and Hell. Rejected in her turn, Kate waits in the dust outside the closed gates of Heaven where her lover finds her only to be rejected again. Through an ultimate sacrifice by him, they reach Heaven, but Kate still has to accept his sacrifice and so find herself - a pearl. The novel, born in dreams, is interlaced with the eternity of love and the ambiguity between dream and reality. 

Review: I would like to thank the author for giving me the chance to read this book. This book was an interesting read even though I am not a fan of romance books. At first I struggled to get into this book but I am glad that I stuck with it as the further I read the more I enjoyed the book. I would recommend this book to any lovers of romance stories and only if you can stick with a book that is difficult to get stuck into. However, I would say to check out other reviews as I am sure that people will have enjoyed this book and got into easier than I did so their review may be better for opinions on this book. If you are willing to just take a chance then this book is worth a shot and you may find that this book is more for you than it is for me. I'm sure romance readers will enjoy this book from beginning to end.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

* The only reason that this book does not get the full 5 stars is because I struggled to read the first few chapters and I did not think that I would enjoy this book. I did like this book but it was not as good as other books that I have read. I think that the reason I did not enjoy this book is because I am not a huge fan of the romance genre.

Review: I would like to thank Michael Phillip Cash for the chance to read another of his brilliant books. After reading other books by MPC, I just could not wait to read this one as I was sure that it would be just as gripping as the previous books that I have read. 

The excitement I had for this book was definitely justified. This book has a gripping storyline that had me hooked instantly. I found that I just could not stop reading this book. This book is a unique mix of the supernatural and romance. Reading this book made me feel like I was connected wholly with the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys supernatural and/or romance novels and also enjoys being able to get lost in a book. This book will be in my collection forever and Michael Phillip Cash is fast becoming a favourite/auto-buy author for me.

Book Excerpt | Wesley Rivers | Letters To Laura

Excerpt from Letters to Laura:

“...She was a terrible girlfriend, an even worse friend, and I would have done anything for her. Why? Why would anyone devote so much to someone so messed up and cruel? Because she was me. I mean, not exactly. I know there were a lot of differences in how we treated people, how we chose to mask our brokenness, but she was essentially just like me. She was looking for someone to save her, rescue her, make all the nightmares disappear inside of a kiss. And it inspired in me a grand desire to be all she dreamed for. Because if I could save her, maybe it would save me as well.
When the dust settled and the smoke cleared, I was alone. My princess, the one I worked so hard to save, had betrayed me. She’d sold me out to the enemy of loneliness and I was bound by the chains of heartache, held in the prison of good intentions. I looked down at myself, busted and bleeding profusely from every wound I’d ever gotten. They were all noticeable now, glaring back at me saying…”this is it, you've suffered long enough, we won’t survive this one, not unless a miracle comes”.
I don’t know whether it was the right time, or just the right combination of events, advice from well–meaning friends, and a few bottles of organic beer. But a sudden moment of clarity took me over. If I wanted to get out of this mess, break from these chains and storm my way out of my self–made prison, I’d need a new perspective. No one was coming to save me. There was no knight in shining armor. My princess was long gone and would not offer aid. I took a deep breath, wiped the tears from my eyes, and decided I’d be my own miracle. I looked grief in the eye and said, “I’m ready.” Grief, the surgeon to the lost, cut me wide open, removed all the faulty wiring, and gave me a new chance.


A chance to become my own hero.”

Book Synopsis: Damn you, Matthew Philippe Warwick! For as long as Trisha Valentine James can remember, Matthew has been obnoxious, rude, condescending…with the most beautiful green eyes she has ever seen. She tries to forget their painful past, along with the longing she holds deep in her heart for the smart, wealthy and funny bachelor. But it’s not so easy to forget one of London’s most eligible bachelors, not when he dances the waltz with you under the evening sky. And just when she thinks she has it all figured out, Matthew walks back into her life. What’s a girl to do? Despite having a beautiful face, a stellar career and a hefty trust fund at her disposal, Trisha can’t seem to grasp the love of the man she’s wanted all her life. And if seeing him again wasn't enough to throw Trisha off, he pulls her out of the comforts of her work, her adorable friends, Luis and Darcey, and thrusts her into the limelight, into a world where gossip bloggers and the paparazzi can’t get enough of London’s elite. With a champagne flute in one hand and the arm of a dashing date in another, can Trisha handle the heat? And when Matthew brings along his two equally gorgeous brothers, Leo and Marcus Warwick, into the mix, Trisha just might be writing checks her heart can't cash. Join Trisha as she figures out how to forget Matthew and allow her heart to heal, land the promotion she’s been eyeing and escape the glare of the tabloids. Dine with her at the most opulent places in London, mingle with her friends at parties fit for the crème de la crème, and fall in love with a former flame that even time can’t seem to extinguish. With an amazing ex-boyfriend trying to find his way back into her life, and from a sexy yet vicious Spanish heiress to a pretty but flirty Danish princess clinging to the arms of the one man she truly loves, will Trisha watch her stock plummet? Or will her story end with both a business and marriage proposal?

What We Leave Behind

Author: Matthew Alan

Title: What We Leave Behind

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: What We Leave Behind - A story about struggle, a story of hope, and mostly, a story about love. A journey with a unique young girl who is so sure of what is out there waiting for her, that she never compromises her belief in finding it. Jane Rawley Solomon's humor, character, and passion for others, serve as a reminder that we choose our own path to happiness, regardless of the events that impact our lives.

Review: This was a fantastic read and I could just not stop reading. I found myself lost in the book like I was a part of the story and not reading a book. I enjoyed this book so much that I plan to invest into the paperback copy so that I can enjoy the story over and over again. I would recommend this book to any avid reader who loves romance novels.

Title: Next Stop: Nina

Genre: Romance, Time Travel

Synopsis: There's something different about Nina; she never felt comfortable in this world. As she struggles to cope with the pain of her present and past, the young girl's life is changed through the beauty of art. When Nina grows up and winds up in over her head in a dark place, she finds herself somehow transported to another time when nothing is quite what it seems. She must fight the horrors of her past all over again. Along the way, she faces greater challenges than she imagined and enjoys sweet surprises when she discovers true love. This is a character-driven novel with a heroine who faces suicidal depression on her own terms, and that's just the beginning. At its heart, Next Stop: Nina is a love story that takes on the types of love that change us and allow us to discover the truth in ourselves.

Review: I really enjoyed this book and could not stop myself from reading it. I found that whenever I had free time I was reading this book and I had finished it before I knew it.

Book Review | Melissa Silvey | Prisoner

Prisoner (All of You Book 1)

Author: Melissa Silvey

Title: Prisoner

Genre: Romance, Fiction, Military, Erotica, Adult Fiction

Synopsis: All I have to do to spend another night with her, is kill... 

She's a bad girl who does whatever she wants. But when tragic circumstances happen in the charmed life of Detective Melanie "Lani" Vaden, she realizes that not everything in the world is about her. She makes a crazy decision, and with the help of her partner and step-father, she carries it out. Little did she know, she'd end up meeting a knight in distress, and she was the only princess who could help him out. 

Antony "Tony" Roman was unjustly imprisoned for trumped up charges he did not commit. He had no hope of ever seeing the light of day again. Stuck in solitary confinement, he hadn't even seen another person in years, his only interaction being with his guard, through the hatch. 

What happens when these two are literally thrown together? Selfish, self-centered Lani has finally found someone who needs her. Tony can't ask the beautiful creature who comes to him, almost like an angel, for help, because he knows there's no hope for him. He can give her nothing in return, except every piece of himself. 

Adult Only 18+ m/f erotic romance (very brief f/f scene)

Review: This a book only for the adult readers as there is scenes of a sexual nature through out this story. Normally I do not read books containing adult content but I did not mind this book. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy erotica stories or the odd sexual scene throughout stories.

Imitating Art

Author: Sarah Parry

Title: Imitating Art

Genre: Mystery, Romantic Suspense, Fiction, Romance

Synopsis: Don't get mad - write a book about it! Well not IT exactly, but writing a book is what Nell Flanagan did to get over her philandering husband Patrick, leaving her for a younger model. An exercise that started out as therapy, but ended up with her becoming an International bestselling author. Things are looking up at last, until events start happening in real life that start mirroring events in Nell's book. When Patrick goes missing in similar circumstances to the husband in her novel, Nell finds herself under the scrutiny of handsome Detective Sergeant Rob Parsons, whom she labels with the same womanising brush as her husband, particularly when he tries to flirt with her during questioning. And then when her twelve years old daughter, Laurel, is kidnapped, Nell finds herself on the road south with the last person on earth she would want help from - the handsome police officer himself! Imitating Art is a romantic caper introducing a new detective duo that sizzles like the best flirtatious banter!

 Review: Excellent book. Easy to settle into and hard to stop reading. Really enjoyed reading this book and I would highly recommend it. This is good for both young and old. An excellent romance story that will make the reader fall head over heels with the book and the mystery will keep the reader on their toes wondering how the story will end.
