                    MY REVIEW 

    What would you do if your true love walked back into your life , trying to take over the non profit company that is your labour of love .You prepare for a fight . That is what Sadonna was doing . Until Michael walked into the room and then things were different . Will they be able to forgive the past and move on to the future . 

   The characters in this story are well written . Sadonna is a people pleaser through and through . We meet her as a young girl being put between her family and the boy she loves, who she dumps to be the parent towards her sister and brother . When we meet her latter on she is a strong independent woman , who in my opinion is still a people pleaser . She is doing everything for everyone else still  She is starting to put herself first though and won't let anyone step on her or her family . By the end of the book she has grown up and taken control. Michael has been through  a lot in his life , an alcoholic father ,being homeless . To becoming the best negotiator out there . When we see him , he seems bitter and still a little hot headed . As we see him with Sadonna we start to see a sweeter side of him . He grows up and realizes that he isn't the center of the world . My favourite character is Pop , he is a no nonsense man who knows Michael better then anyone . He is the rock in Michaels life and knows what he needs before Michael does . He is kind of like a guardian angel for the characters in this book always listening and giving good ideas. 

    This is a sweet second chance romance with a mystery and intrigue mixed in . The author takes us on a sweet ride ,that has some twists and turns . The characters are well written and the story spans a few years . There are a couple of spots that are a little slow but it doesn't take away from the book . Over all I really enjoyed this story of finding love again. If you want a sweet romance check it out you won't be disappointed

HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE

  Welcome to Wednesday all , today we have another new author for you to check out. Iuliana Foos and her book BLOODLINE , ORIGINS

                            BOOK BLURB 

   

Determined to turn her fantasy into reality, Ana starts her journey to become a vampire. Along the way, she learns the truth about their secret society, discovers her prestigious bloodline, and falls in love.

Not all vampires are accepting of humans and war looms in the shadows. An ancient tome reveals the vampires’ alien descent and sparks war.

An army bent on eradicating her coven’s existence threatens her new world. Survival or annihilation will be in Ana’s hands. 

                           MY REVIEW 

    What do you do when you just don't fit in anywhere . That is what is happening to Ana . She feels she doesn't fit in anywhere until the night she starts her journey in becoming a vampire . After running into two warring factions . When she meets prince Andree there is an instant spark . But like always there is danger on the horizon and will they survive the impending war . 

    This is an interesting book . The characters are well written and you will love them . Ana is such a sweet woman, who doesn't really feel like she belongs . Coming from an abusive relationship . She is wary and untrusting of everyone . As you read and get into the book you see her grow and she becomes really confident but also she has the feelings of not being good enough . When you meet Andree he comes off kind of cocky , like most princes are . I truly liked him, he truly loves and cares for Ana and wants to keep her safe . But knows not to mess with her when she is set her mind of something . They are great characters on their own but when they are together they are great . There are other characters that we find are good and not so good . That just keep wanting to keep the wars going . Ivan is the character that you will love to hate . You will either like him or hate him

    This is the first book for this author . She takes us on a rollercoaster ride . An original twist on the vampire lore, throwing in the alien aspect in the mix . We get to see a love story unfold before us also with Ana and Andree .  I must say it was a little slow at the beginning . It seemed to take awhile to get to Andree and Ana's story . Also the alien aspect did kind of threw me for a little bit . Over all I really enjoyed this story and the authors writing . So if you want a original twist on vampires check it out .

WELCOME TO TUESDAY

  Good Tuesday everyone , hope you are all surviving and reading your hearts out . Today we have another new author to me . Nancee Cain and her book THE REDEMPTION OF EMMA DEVINE

                            BOOK BLURB 

     

After the upheaval of being dumped by his girlfriend, David Patterson leads a quiet life as a high school teacher in the small Southern town of Pine Bluff, Alabama. Soon to enroll in seminary, his dreams are within his grasp.

But a chance encounter with Emma Devine changes everything. She’s on the run, desperate, and surviving by any means possible. His pastor’s heart longs to help her—and the rest of him is rather intrigued as well.

His random act of kindness brings them together, but Emma makes an unfathomable decision—one that threatens to destroy two lives, though her intention is to save one.

Four years later, Emma returns, seeking redemption. But can David—whose dreams took a very different course after their last meeting—forgive her and risk losing everything?

                          MY REVIEW 

   What do you do when you stop a shoplifter on Christmas eve . That's what happened to David when he met Emma . a young woman who is on the run and desperate . The pastor in him wants to help the young woman . When the unthinkable happens that puts both of them on a different path. When Emma's decision throws everyone for a loop will they be able to come out . When Emma returns will they be able to work out the past to continue with the future . 

  This book is very well written . I absolutely loved the characters in this book . Emma well lets just say one min you want to wrap her up in a blanket and tell her everything will be ok . At the beginning of the book , she is scared and has such low self esteem . She has been thrown away over and over . She is very defensive and doesn't know her own self worth , To me when she left her baby with David , she was doing what she thought was right . When you read her coming back into David's life she becomes a stronger woman , still a little skittish but she grew up . She still has to fight everyday but she is working on it all the time .

 David well he is such a sweet guy . He is giving and willing to help . He was on the path to be a minister when his life changed . Which I must say he did a great job . I fell for him and his vulnerability when it came to raising his daughter . He is a little over protective and everyone loves him. 

   This is the first book I have read by this author and trust me I will be reading more . She had me feeling so many emotions . I laughed and I cried and I felt a whole lot of love for the characters .  I wanted to hug all the characters and tell them it will be ok . The author writes with a passion that comes through on the page. I think the best part of this book is that the good guy is a good guy . He isn't a pompous arrogant man . He is humble and sweet . You will love these characters trust me . You should add this series to your reading list for this winter . You will love them
