Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: In Harmony (Fenbrook Academy #2) – Helena Newbury

Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: In Harmony (Fenbrook Academy #2) – Helena Newbury

*I received a free eARC of In Harmony from IFB Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* In Harmony is a pretty amazing story in several of its aspects. I loved that it focused so much on music, I could almost hear it when Karen and Connor played, and it’s something I’d buy if it existed for real. I really enjoyed Karen, she started out feeling awkward and different from her friends, and she really only had her cello on her mind – which is understandable in some ways. However, when she starts to open up to the world around her, she makes some pretty amazing discoveries. Although In Harmony is the second book in the Fenbrook Academy series, I […]

Blogtour and Review: Sanctuary – Pauline Creeden

Blogtour and Review: Sanctuary – Pauline Creeden

*I received a free ARC of Sanctuary from IFB Blog Tours in exchange of an honest review* When I read the blurb for Sanctuary, and the bio Pauline Creeden has on her web page, I was intrigued! I don’t read a lot of Christian themed stories, but the few I have read, I have appreciated, and I thought I’d enjoy the inclusion of biblical stories in a young adult dystopian. Sanctuary is about a main character whose name is Jennie, she is nineteen, and at the beginning of the book she’s quite self-involved, as a lot of late teens can be. Even after aliens arrive at Earth, with most of the water poisoned, and one third of the population dead, […]

Review: Why Dukes Say I Do (Wicked Widows #1) – Manda Collins

Review: Why Dukes Say I Do (Wicked Widows #1) – Manda Collins

*I received a free eARC of Why Dukes Say I do from St. Martin’s Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Why Dukes Say I Do is exactly my kind of historical romance. Isabella is a strong-minded widow, but she can still be blackmailed by the dowager who is also her Godmother. Trevor is a reluctant Duke who has never met his own grand-mother because her late husband left his father penniless for marrying for love. When Isabella is sent to Yorkshire to convince him to come to London and embrace his new role, Trevor wants to bargain with her to make sure he won’t have to leave his beloved country home. On top of getting to know […]

Blogtour, Gievaway and Review: Carrots – Colleen Helme

Blogtour, Gievaway and Review: Carrots – Colleen Helme

*I received a free ARC of Carrots from Enchantress of Books Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* Carrots is a fun contemporary read, about what happens to Shelby just because she stopped her car to run and get some carrots. After being shot in the head, she quickly realizes that she can hear other peoples’ thoughts! And it’s very hard for her in the beginning to not answer the questions her family only ask in their heads. It is also difficult for her to not be upset when she hears her husband’s thoughts about how she looks, or why he is so happy she didn’t die… Shelby quickly gets into trouble because of her new ability, especially when it […]

Blogtour and Review: Undercover Lover – Jamie K. Schmidt

Blogtour and Review: Undercover Lover – Jamie K. Schmidt

*I received a free ARC of Undercover Lover from IFB Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* Undercover Lover is a nice mix of romance, police-thriller, alternative medicine and Russian mafia. It is filled with humor, a strong and smart heroine, a hot hero and lots of intrigues. I especially loved that Pam is a doctor, she has several diplomas and could have been a famous shrink, but instead she is practicing reiki to help her patients. The way Pam set up her office and centered herself to be ready to share the universe’s energy with her patients is well done, I could almost feel myself relaxing just reading about it. Drake is an undercover cop who does his job […]

Review: Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire #1) – Larissa Ione

Review: Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire #1) – Larissa Ione

*I received a free eARC of Bound by Night from Pocket Book via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Bound by Night first got this reaction from me when I finished reading: This. Book.Was. Made. Of. Awesome! That was all I was capable of thinking and feeling and sharing. It has taken me a little while to actually form coherent thoughts, I just fell in love with the characters, the mythology and the completely different take on vampires that were depicted in Bound by Night. The prologue explains how vampires are slaves in this universe, they are snatched by humans and forced to work for them, taking care of mundane tasks as being a nanny, prepare food or care […]

Review: Found (Penny Black #1) – Stacey Wallace Benefiel

Review: Found (Penny Black #1) – Stacey Wallace Benefiel

*I received a free ARC of Found from Write Free via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Found is set in the same world as the Zellie Weiss series by the same author, but I do not think it is necessary to read those books in order to enjoy Found. Because I really did enjoy it, and I had no idea what this world was all about when I started reading. Penny has been alone for a long time – waking up in strange places is not something she pays all that much attention to, it has happened many times. During these dreams, she is using her hands and her mind to stop time, rewind events and then make […]

Review: Dare You To (Pushing the Limits #2) – Katie McGarry

Review: Dare You To (Pushing the Limits #2) – Katie McGarry

*I received a free ARC of Dare You To from Harlequin Teen via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* In Dare You To, the readers follow Beth, from Pushing the Limits, and Ryan who lives in Graveton. Beth’s uncle, Scott, gets custody of her after she is arrested – only to protect her mom –  and moves her to his huge mansion in the country. Beth wants nothing to do with Scott, nor his money and big mansion. He abandoned her when life got tough, and she can’t find it in herself to forgive him. Nothing has been easy in Beth’s life since that fatal night when she was eight years old and snitched on her father after he […]

Review: The Cowboy’s E-Mail Order Bride – Cora Seton

Review: The Cowboy’s E-Mail Order Bride – Cora Seton

*I received a free ARC of The Cowboy’s E-Mail Order Bride from One Acre Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*. The Cowboy’s E-Mail Order Bride is a story filled with tangled messes, lies, new love, romance and promise of a better life. A quick read, it really appealed to me! When Ethan and Autumn meet, they are both keeping a secret, and they are both lying about what they wanted from each other. Ethan’s resolve to send Autumn back to New York on the next flight falters when he sees her – she is everything he has ever dreamt of in a woman. Autumn’s heart starts beating faster when her eyes lands on Ethan, but she is […]
