    Briggs,

    Remember when I said we couldn’t speak after parting ways in Germany? It was the day I broke your heart. What you didn't know was that I was breaking mine too.

    I thought they’d be enough–my husband and my son. That I’d get home and everything would go back to the way it was . . .

    Before the war.
    Before the ambush.
    Before you.

    But, no matter how hard I try, I can’t erase the trauma we shared. I can’t seem to forget the way my heart beat in time with yours.

    The truth is I’m lost without you.

    I thought the nightmare was over when they pulled us from that hole in the ground, but nothing could have prepared me for the war I’d face at home.
    I know it’s selfish of me to ask, but, please, I have to see you one last time. . .

    All my love,
    Scottie

    Review: The Accidental Bad Girl by Maxine Kaplan

    October 23, 2018

    "An intriguing look at feminism in American culture and the price we pay for our reputations."
    (Booklist)




    Title: The Accidental Bad Girl
    Author: Maxine Kaplan
    Genre: Young Adult Contemporary 

    Blurb

    Kendall used to be a good girl.

    That was before the entire senior class discovered her hooking up with her best friend’s ex. And before became an instant pariah, and vowed to keep her head down until she escaped her small Brooklyn private school for good.

    But no such luck: She discovers her online identity has been hacked and she’s being framed for stealing a drug dealer’s stash. If she wants to repair her tattered reputation and save her neck, she’ll have to pretend to a be the bad girl everyone thinks she is. And the longer she plays the role of bad girl, the more it seems to fit.

    Friends and enemies, detectives and drug dealers—no one is who they appear to be. Least of all Kendall.

    New Release with Review: Trailer Park Heart by Rachel Higginson






    Trailer park born and raised. It’s my legacy. That’s how my mama lived. And that’s how her mama lived. It’s the life I was born into and it’s the life I swore I would leave the second I was old enough to make it out.

    Only legacies have a funny way of sneaking up on you. An innocent decision the night of high school graduation led to a series of complications in my plans to escape.

    Seven years later, I’ve resigned myself to this small town and the roots I’m tied to. Nothing could make me leave. And nothing could make me spill the secrets that keep me here.

    Until he walks back into town with a chip on his shoulder and a stupid hunch nobody else in town has been smart enough to follow.

    Levi Cole is my opposite. Born on the right side of the tracks with family money to spare, he’s the kind of black sheep that can afford to be rebellious—because his family will always pay for his mistakes. He’s also the only living heir to Cole Family Farms, after his brother Logan was killed in duty seven years ago.

    He sees something in my life that he thinks he has a right to. But he’s wrong. And obnoxious. And he needs to take his stubborn good looks and that intense way he looks at me and go back to wherever it was he came from.

    I know better than to trust men like him. I was born and raised in a trailer park, I know nothing good happens to girls like me—girls with trailer park lives and trailer park hearts. Especially from gorgeous, kind, pigheaded men like him.

    Rachel Higginson gave us everything we wanted in Trailer Park Heart. Small town Scandal, unrequited love, jealousy, frenemies, and passion. This is a story that will have you rooting for a girl who has sacrificed everything, and falling for a boy who had more heart and passion then you could ever imagine. 

    All her life the only thing that Ruby Dawson has ever truly wanted, was to her leave her small town of Clark City Nebraska and never look back. In this town everyone knows each other and with that, comes the gossip and side glances. Growing up in a trailer park with a single mom was never easy and Ruby made it her mission to leave and go off to college the minute her Senior year came to an end. But one last chance to finally let her hair down has her coming face to face with her sworn enemy since childhood and that encounter, will set off a chain of events that’s going to change the course of her life. 

    It’s been seven years since Levi has been home and from the looks of it, nothing has changed. Sure, some of his classmates have gotten older and started families of their own, but other than that everything is still the same. Same diner, same gossip mill, and the same girl who swore that she was going to leave, is still there but for different reasons. What will happen when they realize that they have unfinished business? 

    I’ve always loved the way this author portrays her characters and gives the readers some fierce, strong female heroines. She’s never afraid to make them stand on their own and be the protective, independent woman that we all can be. As for Levi, I loved everything about that man!! He was sweet and charming and he knew exactly what he wanted so there was no need for games. I only wished that there was more communication from them in the past and present but besides that, this was a well written small town love story that's going to make you want more. 



                                                                    TEASER:

    Rolling my eyes, I waved him off. Honestly that was a tamer word than usual. And Max was unfortunately used to grownups saying words he wasn’t supposed to hear by now. “I’ll tell you later, okay? Why don’t you go find a great big stick and let Mommy talk to the scary man.”
    Max tilted his head at Levi. “I don’t think he’s scary.”
“Ha! Looks can be deceiving,” I mumbled to no one in particular. “Go on, babe. Find a stick.” He looked up at me like I’d grown a second head. “Then what?”
“Then... then whack that cornstalk with it.”
“Why?”
“Because it needs to be whacked.”
“Why?”
Levi walked closer. “Just pretend it’s Darth Vader and you’re on a mission to save the
    galaxy.”
Max’s attention swung back to Levi. “Who’s Dark Faber?”
    “Who’s Darth Vader?” Levi repeated, stunned. “What do you mean, who’s Darth Vader?” To me he said. “What kind of parent are you? He doesn’t know who Darth Vader is?”
    “He’s six,” I reminded him patiently.
    “Exactly the right age to know about the glory that is Star Wars. You’re depriving him of a fantastic childhood.”
    “Are you seriously giving me parenting advice right now?”
He leaned forward. “Are you seriously considering passing it up? It’s good advice.”
A frustrated growl rumbled in the back of my throat. Max, getting bored with our back and
    forth, wandered off to whack the cornstalk. Levi and I watched him in silence for a minute. Eventually, curiosity got the better of me. “What are you doing here, Levi? Why are you in
    my neck of the woods?”
He shrugged, and that damnable smile was back. “I feel bad about the other day... about the
    gas station.”
I couldn’t let him get away with his behavior then nor now. Or the questions he was hell bent
    on asking. Or the sheepish, repentant smile he was wielding like a weapon. “You have no right to stick your nose in my business, Cole.”
    He shrugged. “I’m trying to say I’m sorry.”
    It wasn’t exactly a promise to leave me alone, but Levi didn’t usually give me what I wanted. This was probably the best I could ask for, and yet, I couldn’t let him get away that easily. I lifted a hand, half hidden in the sleeve of my shirt, and pointed a finger at him. “You can mess with me, Levi, but you better not hurt my son. Got it?”
    He took a step forward, closing some of the space between us. “Just to be clear though, you’re saying I can mess with you, right?”

    Review: Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young

    October 22, 2018

    “A rousing saga and moving coming-of-age tale, perfect for those who appreciate the wild and the wildlings, strong female protagonists, and cinematic battles.” – Kirkus starred review


    Sky in the Deep
    Author: Adrienne Young
    Genre: YA Fantasy 

    Blurb
    Seventeen-year-old Eelyn’s world is war. Raised to fight alongside her Aska clansmen in a generations-old blood feud against the Riki, her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield—her brother, fighting with the enemy—the brother she watched die five years ago.

    Faced with her brother’s betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki if she wants to make it back to the fjord after the thaw. But when she begins to see herself in the people she’s been taught to hate, the world Eelyn once knew begins to crumble. And after the village is raided by a ruthless clan many believe to be a myth, Eelyn is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother’s friend who has tried more than once to kill her. Together, they must end the blood feud between their clans or watch their people be slaughtered.

    A lush, Viking-age inspired fantasy about loyalty, forgiveness, and the definition of family.

    Goodreads



    Skye in the Deep by Adrienne Young is an impressive debut novel that every fan of YA fantasy should add to their tbr. A masterfully written tale with badass characters and a beautiful message, this story exceeded all my expectations! Knowing this is the work of a new author truly blows me away! 


    I want to start off by saying that I've read plenty of first time novels, and this doesn't read like one. This story is expertly crafted, interesting, layered, and emotional. It's not one of those books you forget about the second you put it down either. It's stays with you, and that has a lot to do with the author's cinematic writing style. I could picture everything she described with an incredible ease that made the book that much more memorable. 


    Though I loved the action, suspense, and violence, what stood out to me most in this story was the exploration of what it means to be a family, a friend, and just plain human. Watching these people struggle to survive, to take care of each other, to hold onto their faith, to fight when giving up seems like the obvious choice, and striving to live and die with honor is emotional, intense, and deeply moving. 


    The relationships between all of the characters were the highlight for me. Period. They were unbreakable, complex, and sometimes, complicated and forbidden. The latter made everything a lot more interesting. 


    Skye in the Deep is a vivid, bloody, entertaining, and exciting piece of literature that I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to read. I appreciate a story with a well built world, fierce characters, a love connection worth rooting for, and epic battle scenes that keep me on the edge of my seat. This book delivered on all fronts! 


    Bottom line, I fell in love with this story, the setting, the characters, and the heart of this novel. I hope you will, too! 


    YA Fantasy fans that don't mind a little slow burning romance with their adventure, this one's for you!

    An Autumn in Paris

    by Alix Nichols
      Publication Date: November 2, 2018
      Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance


    Books by Alix Nichols: Amazon

    Because of Audrey Hepburn, I have foolishly… a) bought into the whole “Paris is always a good idea” thing without any offscreen evidence, b) uprooted my son and left my bittersweet memories behind, c) allowed Thomas—the handsome, caring, way-out-of-my-league vet—to disrupt the dull, desensitized life I had self-prescribed for my Broken Heart Syndrome. Behind his easy smile and swoon-worthy pecs, Thomas conceals an open wound. No matter how hot his kisses or how genuine his affection, he’s still reeling. He can’t move on. And I can’t risk falling for him. I have a child to raise—a preteen boy who needs his mom to be all there. But as autumn strips the trees of their leaves, falling for Thomas is exactly what I do. Throwing caution to the wind, I dare to hope for a future with him… …until the past comes knocking. Can we handle it or will it break us forever?
