My Review - Spring at Blueberry Bay - (13/4/17)

Image
Spring at Blueberry Bay - By  Holly Martin 10☆  - Fabulous and Extremely Addictive! Spring at Blueberry Bay has it all, humour, romance, sizzling sex scenes, heartache, love, lust and New Beginnings. I was literally hooked, drawn in and couldn't put it down. I fell in love with Bella and Isaac and I felt I was every bit part of their journey together. Bella is down on her luck after her previous job as an events organiser ends due to a huge scandal. No one want to give an ex employee a job where embezzlement has occured. She has no money for rent or food but is too proud to accept help from her family. She applies for a job at the homeless charity Umbrella Foundation. Isaac is the CEO and has a very unconventional way of testing applications. He poses as a homeless person to see the person's reaction towards him. He is extremely wealthy and learns people are out to use him so this is he's way of testing if people are genuine.

My Review - The State of Grace - (17/4/17)

The State of Grace - By Rachael Lucas  5☆  I urge everyone to read this gem! State of Grace is a beautiful and insightful story told by Grace who has Aspergers. It is beautifully written, Well researched and for once Aspergers/Autism has been written about.  Autism and Aspergers is very close to my heart. I worked with children with Autism and know the daily struggles trying to make sense of the world. So when I was given the opportunity to read this beautiful book I jumped at the chance. It was so nice to see the story told from Grace's point of view instead of how everyone assumes she feels. We quickly come to read the teachers don't understand Grace.

Last Breath (Detective Erika Foster #4) - By Robert Bryndza 5☆+  Nail biting, Non stop thriller Last Breath is the 4th book by Robert. However it was my first book and I absolutely LOVED IT!! I was hanging onto every word. It was captivating, scary, exciting, pulse racing, and highly addictive... you have been warned! What I loved most about this book was you found out who the killer was within the first half. Well in fact it was a little tease for all of a few pages when I was convinced it was someone else!  Robert has restored my faith in Detective books. I was beginning to tire of them till I read Last Breath.

Into the hall of Vice (Bastards of London #2) - By Anabelle Bryant  5☆ ++   Full of Mystery and Passion Another Fabulous book by Ananbelle Bryant. Into the hall of Vice is the second book in the series. Although it can be read as a standalone novel, i think you really get a full sense of love for the characters if you read Den of Iniquity first. Into the hall of vice is a story about mystery, intrigue, romance, love and passion and friendships. It's about people's status and forbidden love.  It's about poverty and riches, unwanted children and mistress. It's about loss and trying to gain answers.
