#BookReview: Verity by Colleen Hoover

 I am determined to keep up with my local book club this year, and today I share my review for Verity by Colleen Hoover.

 


My Review

This was my first Colleen Hoover novel and I read it for my local book club. Yes, I enjoyed it! The book deals with the dark side of the human mind and the nature of obsession and love, but you never quite know what is "real" and what is not. It kept me hooked but I didn't get too emotionally involved. Perhaps as a writer I managed to stay detached, knowing that the protagonists were also writers (apart from Jeremy, and I still can't decide what to think about him). Still, it was an entertaining read, and it gave me something new to think about.

About the Book

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.

#BookReview A Bridge to Forever by N. Dune

I follow this author on social media and was attracted to the book, so I bought my copy and added it to my summer reading list. I was not disappointed! Read on to see my review.

My Review

Reading this story had me drawing comparisons with my own life, and I really felt for Ben and Raz. The book is sweet, dramatic and I think it offers a great example of 21st Century literature. I describe this book as beautiful, emotional, and sweet!

The book was well written and carefully edited.

About the Book

Raz

Left with a sense of guilt at his failure to protect his childhood friend, Raz has lost his way in the darkness that consumes him.

A chance meeting with another man allows him to regain some control of his life… Will he take it?

How could this affect his relationship with the one man who has always stood by him?

Ben

Faced with his own heartbreak, Ben struggles to continue supporting his boyfriend in the way he knows that Raz needs. He wants to move forward, pull away from the despair that has surrounded them for months and give them both time to heal and make a future together, but is that what Raz still wants?

A friend’s kidnapping and the loss of a family member has left Raz and Ben in immense pain, but with no physical wound to show for it. The size of the chasm between them has continued to grow as they attempt to live side by side but not together. How will they begin to build a bridge and heal the gaping wound between them?

Is it too late for these two lovers to reconnect and overcome the darkness that threatens to pull them apart forever?

A Bridge To Forever is a standalone steamy MM romance set in the Beyond the Tide world. Get your copy now.

#BookReview The Real Thing by Felicity Rose

I follow this author on social media and was attracted to the book, so I bought my copy and added it to my summer reading list. I was not disappointed! Read on to see my review.



My Review

I really enjoyed this story! There are elements that I personally relate to when Saskia and James begin to explore each other intimately. It was nice to see sex described in more detail that the vanilla portrayal we are used to seeing in literature. And it was steamy! There was a huge twist at the end that I didn’t see coming, much like so many events in real life, and while it left me feeling a bit disgruntled, the author has left it wide open for a sequel, so I look forward to reading that.

The book could have done with a bit more editing, and I got confused part-way through when the writing style randomly switched for a few paragraphs. I think maybe the author got so caught up in the story that they just wrote and maybe didn’t pick it up during the editing phase. Despite this I read the book very quickly which is always a sign I enjoyed it, and the story stayed with me.

 

About the Book

Saskia Matthews has been everywhere and done it all. She’s been in love more times than she could even count. The problem is, this is only in her book world.

James Edwards, the hottie at the local deli, is the kind of eye candy everyone needs while ordering their lunch. Gorgeous as he is, he’s out of her reach until, one day, she plucks up the courage to talk to him.

Is he what she really wants though?

He’s certainly not her usual type.

Quickly she begins to realise that you should never judge a book by its cover as he takes her deep into her darkest fantasies, awakening her body and opening her eyes to a world she has never seen before.

Surely this is the real thing…isn’t it? Buy the book now.

Alice R Bishop says: “I have always been a keen reader and from the age of eight I could read most things. During my school years I always had on my report card for English ‘Alice has a wonderful imagination, I wish she would stop daydreaming and put her imagination onto paper.’
“For many years I have wanted to be an author, but it wasn’t until Covid-19 lock down hit did I really give it a go. The stress of coping with the lockdown amongst many things caused me to have a flare up with my fibromyalgia, but even with this I struggled forward writing my manuscript. A few times I nearly gave up, my body hurt and my brain felt like it had cotton wool inside of it, but I managed to complete it.  
 “I also have a son with ASD who makes my world brighter every day, part of the reason I stuck with writing even though I have plenty of ‘nay sayers’ is because I want to show him that dreams should be followed and worth achieving.”

Book Spotlight: Beloved Woman by Jonathan Kimba

 Beloved Woman: Male Author Delivers Exceptional New Romantic Novel – Heartfelt, Traumatic and Utterly Engaging.


They say true love often travels on a gravel road, which is certainly true for the characters Benjamin and Abigail, lovers featured in Jonathan Kimba’s new romantic fiction piece ‘Beloved Woman.’ This book is at times raw, heartfelt, and highly volatile- inviting readers to journey with the pair as their lives lurch from one dramatic scenario to another. As the relationship appears to start to crumble, Cupid intervenes and kick-starts the affair again. Just like magnets, the couple are attracted and then repelled, time and time again. Will it all have a happy ending? You’ll be absorbed in this skilfully constructed romantic literature finding out.

Romantic fiction has long been regarded as the reserve and perhaps preserve of female authors, but there’s been a recent, gradual trend of men putting their hearts and reputation on the line by producing some exceptional works - John Green, Nicholas Sparks, Graeme Simsion, Richard Paul Evans, and Charles Martin, to name but a few of the best. Like any other category of writing, great romance fiction is written (and sold) by both women and men. One of the most successful writers in the early years of romantic fiction was Tom Huff, who wrote under the pseudonym of Jennifer Wilde.
 
Fast emerging as one of the best of British romantic fiction authors is Jonathan Kimba and his new novel ‘Beloved Woman’ is testament to that. It’s a powerful piece of writing depicting a relationship which endures for many years, with all its trials, tribulations, and ecstasies. A real rollercoaster of emotions which will have you hooked from beginning to end. Hold on to your hat - you’re in for a bumpy ride!



 
Synopsis of Beloved Woman by Jonathan Kimba
 
A love story spanning generations . . . a saga to take your breath away!
 
Two people grow up believing that one true love was never meant to be, and their dreams might always remain unfulfilled. But fate always has different plans for the naïve, doesn’t it? Fall in love as our lovers go through an immense, intense, and transformative experience, drifting apart but being drawn back together by a magnetic force time and time again.
 
Be transported into this multi-generational journey, of endearment, lust, pain, regret and, last but not the least, coming together despite all odds being stacked against ultimate love.
 
In the author’s words
 
“I like to think my work is romance writing at its finest and also that I am one of the few male writers in romance fiction.”
 
Reviews
"This book just blown me above the roof, while I was reading it. I did enjoy the read also it has a lot of good points in it. You wouldn’t wanna miss out! Go grab your copy to enjoy the story." – Joshua
 
"It's a great book to read about inspiring love one of the best books I've read so far, and I'd happily read it again." - Hayden Thomson-Howarth
 
About the author
 
Jonathan Kimba’s debut work is the result of an inspiration-driven blossoming writing journey. The journey of love that is ‘Beloved Woman’ narrates the passionate love story of Benjamin in his pursuit of Abigail, a conscientious social worker, and an upright lawyer.
 
Through the story, Jonathan takes his readers through a breath-taking show of resilience, determination and will, as evidenced by Benjamin winning Abigail, despite Abigail pushing him out of the way due to the painful love experiences she has had in the past.
 
Jonathan currently resides in England, where he spends his time gathering inspiration for writing his romance novels. You can find him pursuing his other cherished passion, football, in his spare time. You can see him either on the pitch playing the sport or coaching other football players at the academy team.

Stepping Stones by Elizabeth Morgan #romance #love


Blurb:

There's nothing like a wedding to bring the family together....

If not for her baby sister’s impending marriage, Margaret West would never return home. But after six long years, she finds herself a maid of honour who must answer to the people she left behind.

If her parents’ interrogation doesn’t drive her to drink, facing her foster brother, Adrian, just might. To make matters worse, her ex-fiancé is the vicar who will conduct her sister’s ceremony.

Everyone demands to know why she ran off. But the more time she spends at home, the more Margaret realizes even she doesn’t know the real reason.

Excerpt:

“When is Aidy getting here?” Jessica grabbed the large bowl of scrambled eggs and brought it closer to her plate.
“I think his flight is due in at three.” My mother placed a dish of bacon on the table and took a seat beside me. “He will be in time for the wedding rehearsal; don’t worry.”
My stomach clenched. “Wedding rehearsal?” I coughed, trying to clear the chunk of toast lodged in my throat. “What wedding rehearsal?”
“Today at four. We’re running through the service.” Jess scooped egg onto her plate. “I told you.”
Nervous laughter bubbled in my throat, and try as I may, I couldn’t stop shaking my head. “No.” I patted my chest. “No, you never mentioned a rehearsal.”
“Oh.” She placed the bowl back in the middle of the table. “I could have sworn I did.”
“Nope, you didn’t. Believe me, I would have remembered otherwise.” I grabbed my mug and knocked the coffee back before finishing my piece of toast.
“Well, it’s no big deal.” Edward took the bowl of eggs and helped himself.
“Just a quick run-through.”
“Will everyone be there?” Forcing a smile on my face, I looked up at them both, hoping like hell my question would pass as innocent and genuine curiosity.
“Anyone who is involved in the wedding itself will be.”
Great. So that meant Jessica, Edward, the parents, and the bridesmaids, plus me. Plus Adrian and…. “Will Vicar Taylor be there?”
Oh, God, did my voice just go higher?
“Yes, Margaret, William will be there. He is the one who is marrying Jessie and Edward, so he needs to be there.” My father skewered some bacon and tomatoes onto his fork.
Grimacing, I reached out and grabbed another piece of toast. “Just a question, Pa.”
A stupid one, but a question, nevertheless…
“It is normal for people to have wedding rehearsals, Margaret. Just because you—”
Jess picked up the coffeepot. “Does anyone want more coffee?”
I straightened, my focus fixed on Pa. “I’m aware.”
“Maggie?”
My father’s shoulders went rigid. He lifted his head, and our gazes locked. I didn’t miss the way the muscle in the side of his neck ticked. Arguing with my father in front of Jessica and Edward was not an option, so I looked away.
“Please.” I held out my mug, and Jess poured the dark liquid.
I could kick myself. A wedding rehearsal hadn’t even crossed my mind. Having to stand at the altar before William on the actual wedding day would be hard enough, but having to do it twice…my stomach churned.
“So, will Adrian come straight to the church?” Edward cut the awkward silence.
“Yes. He will get a taxi to the church, and then we will bring him and his luggage back here.” My mother held her mug out to Jess.
“Adrian is staying here? Tonight?” I added sugar to my coffee. “Won’t it be crowded? I thought—”
“No more crowded than it was in your childhood.” My father took a bite of his toast.
More and more good news. Of course he would be staying here; it was his family home, after all. I guess it was stupid of me to hope he would go to a B&B, but my parents wouldn’t have allowed it even if he’d suggested it. I hadn’t seen him in six years, hadn’t spoken to him. And yet, in a couple of hours, I would be locked in the same house with him.

Colliding with You by Kelli McCracken

Today I feature a book from guest author Kelli McCracken. Enjoy!


Cori Clarke spent twenty-one years walking in her sister's shadow. Being her bridesmaid is a duty she cannot refuse, even though her sister is marrying a man Cori always desired. The wedding is not a total loss once she runs into Jesse Woods, the older brother of her childhood friend. There are plenty of reasons to resist him, yet part of Cori is begging for Jesse's touch. Regardless of how hard she fights against her desire, an exposed secret leaves her in urgent need of his help.

A complicated relationship is the last thing Jesse wants or needs. Being in a band left little time to find a girl genuinely interested in him, not the rock star he was becoming. Before he and Cori reconnected, he never thought he would be attracted to one of his sister's friends. Cori always meant more to him but admitting as much means confessing to something he has hidden for years. He cannot afford to make himself vulnerable to any woman.

When Jesse's agent makes a ridiculous request, he spins it in his favor, allowing him to help Cori escape a dire situation. Now that she is his responsibility, he is in an awkward position. Being together dredges up old feelings. The ones Jesse has tried to forget. The ones Cori is just discovering.

Colliding with You is the second book in the Touched by Magic Series. If you like contemporary romances packed full of sass, steam, and second chances, then you’ll enjoy Kelli McCracken’s sensual tale of love and loyalty.

PRICE: 99c (normal price $2.99)

Today I share with you a special offer from N.N. Light for their novella, Planting The Seeds Of Love. It is on special offer at just 99c, grab your copy now!




Title: Planting the Seeds of Love: A Novella

Author: N. N. Light

Genre: Contemporary Romance, New Adult, New Adult Romance

Blurb:
Torn between two men, Sally must follow her heart and decide if love will lead her to the city or the countryside.

Twenty-Two-year-old Sally Rayton returns to the family farm she deserted four years ago to bury her grandfather. Her plan: to settle her grandfather’s estate and return to her life in the city with her boyfriend, Trevor Mattson.

Her childhood friend, Jack Smith, has other ideas.

Jack convinces Sally to transform the farm into a brewery and fulfill her grandfather’s dream while keeping the Rayton Farm in the family. Sally works side-by-side with Jack while Trevor is hundreds of miles away in the city. The more time she spends with Jack, the stronger her feelings are for him.

When Trevor shows up to propose to Sally right before Christmas and finds her in Jack’s embrace, she must make the biggest choice of her life: true love.

Excerpt:
The next morning, Sally woke to the smell of sizzling bacon. She stretched in bed before putting on her robe. She glanced at the clock. It was already eight. She looked out the window. As far as she could see, snow covered everything like a warm glittering blanket. She hugged herself.

“So, this is what it means to be in love? I like it.”

She crept down the stairs, to see what Trevor was cooking. A smile lit her face and she sat in her grandpa’s rocking chair, watching Trevor in the kitchen. He wore a green plaid robe, his hair ruffled from sleep and there was a slight pillow crease across his left cheek. He flipped pancakes while whistling a classic rock song. She hugged her knees, reveling in her domestic bliss.

“I could get used to this,” she whispered.

He turned around and grinned.

“Good morning, beautiful. Want some coffee?”

She walked into the kitchen, giggling as if it was Christmas.

“It’s like I’m dreaming, what with you here, making breakfast.”

He handed her a mug of steaming coffee. She took a sip.

“Ahh, it’s just how I take it. Heavy cream and sugar.” She took another sip.

Trevor pulled her into his embrace.

“You are a vision in white, my angel.” He kissed her senseless. Her body responded and she burned with desire. She peppered kisses along his jawline.

“I want to go back to bed,” she whispered in his ear. She raked her teeth down his ear.

He moaned.

“You drive me crazy when you do that.” His hot breath seared her neck.

“Mmm…” she whispered.

He playfully slapped her butt.

“Vixen.”

She laughed seductively.

“Now go sit at the table and wait for breakfast.” He refilled her coffee. “Tsk tsk tsk, distracting the cook.” He winked.



What Readers Think:

“The author does a splendid job of building the internal tension as well as some wonderfully lighthearted interactions that play out perfectly and keep the reader engaged. The secondary characters are well thought out, and bring an added dimension to the setting.” – USA Today Bestselling Author Jacquie Biggar

“Great descriptive narrative, vivid dialogue that not only breathed life into the characters but provided a window into life in a tight knit countryside community. The countryside community was portrayed so positively, it even lured this committed city girl into sampling a taste of country life with a farm visit next holiday.” -- Ariel C.

“For a short story, this one is so well-developed and full of wonderful characters, it was a pleasure to read.” – K. Westrope

EXCERPT

There was just enough light for her to see. They were both there; the Queen and her thrall. It made her stomach squirm. It had been so long, so long since she had seen her, so long since she had been this close. Even in all those months of tracking, she had never got this close to her. 

It had been an obsession. It was all that kept her going; it had consumed her until there was nothing left but the hunt. And now she was here, just an arm’s reach away from her and she wanted to get closer, she had to get closer.

To Stella, the Queen was nothing but a leech. Sucking the life blood from her victim, keeping them in a thrall the way a spider keeps a fly in its web, keeping them alive only for the convenience of fresh blood. It made her sick.

She watched them, the Queen and her victim. It hurt to watch her, to see such a beautiful young woman reduced to a doe-eyed fool worshiping at the feet of a parasite. But Stella knew she was under a thrall, knew it was just a hypnotic trance, a love potion capable of warping even the strongest of minds into believing it must obey its mistress.

The Queen leant in, stroking her victim’s cheek. She was going to drink. Stella was repulsed; she couldn’t let it happen. She couldn’t stand by and watch even one more drop of blood be taken.
She smashed the window.
