Evie and Leo met in
foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew,
their bond turned to love, and they vowed to make a life together when
they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.
When Leo
unexpectedly gets adopted as a teen and he moves to another city, he
promises Evie that he will contact her as soon as he gets there and come
back for her in a few short years. She never hears from him again.
Now
eight years later, in spite of the odds, Evie has made a life for
herself. She has a job. She has friends. She's content. Then a man shows
up out of the blue, claiming that her long lost love, Leo, sent him to
check up on her. The attraction between them is undeniable. But, should
she trust this sexy stranger? Or is he keeping a secret about what his
connection to Leo is really all about and why Leo disappeared all those
years ago?
My Thoughts on the Book
I really
loved this book, it is another beautiful story about strength and
healing. There is a secret that I figured out pretty early and I wish
it was more of a shock but how it came about and why was just as
important and what I was waiting for. This is the second Mia Sheridan
book I have read and she is quickly becoming one of my go to authors.
Samantha is a stranger
in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend,
Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all-popularity, wealth, and a dream
boyfriend.
Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of
who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece
together her life from before, she realizes it's one she no longer wants
any part of. The old Sam took "mean girl" to a whole new level, and
it's clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty
sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She's getting
a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and
she's falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for
her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash.
But Cassie is
still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night isn't
just buried deep inside of Sam's memory-someone else knows, someone who
wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if
she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can
finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive?
My Thoughts on the Book
4.5
Stars and Wow, wow and Wow! This story was so good and had so many
twists and turns I was guessing the whole time. This story has elements
of Pretty Little Liars and Mean Girls but so much better!!!!!! This is a
YA thriller and our girl Samantha finds herself alone in the woods with
no memory of herself or her life before and her best friend is missing
and she does not even remember her. The story unfolds beautifully and
the ending was great and caught be off guard. I do think the ending was a
bit quick and would have like another chapter after the mystery was
solved to clean up a few things but I still completely loved it!

My Thoughts on the Book
This
is one of those books that are hard to describe, it is a suspense but
it is also a romance but not a typical romance in any sense of the word.
This book is not a long book but it is a book that you will read slowly
because every word, every thought, every conversation is important and
you will not want to skim any of. This book pulls at your heart but
teaches you how to live. This book will leave you emotionally drained
but content at the same time. The story is masterfully written and
unfolds if a way that is fascinating and completely engrossing. Is
there a HEA? Yes, no I am still not sure. Just like the rest of the
book it is anything buy typical and at the same time beautiful.

My Thoughts on the Book
Kym's
books just keep getting better and better. I really enjoy this series
and the writing has improved with every book. This is Leopold's story
and we really get to know and understand him better in this book and
feel his pain from his past. Laryssa is a human that is special in her
own right and helps to heal Leopold and he helps her. This book is very
sexy and not for the young ones but the story is great and the love
rings true. We get to see all of the characters from the past books as
well so that was an added bonus for me!
Long live the King…
After
turning his back on the throne for centuries, Wrath, son of Wrath,
finally assumed his father’s mantle--with the help of his beloved mate.
But the crown sets heavily on his head. As the war with the Lessening
Society rages on, and the threat from the Band of Bastards truly hits
home, he is forced to make choices that put everything--and everyone--at
risk.
Beth Randall thought she knew what she was getting into
when she mated the last pure blooded vampire on the planet: An easy ride
was not it. But when she decides she wants a child, she’s unprepared
for Wrath’s response--or the distance it creates between them.
The question is, will true love win out... or tortured legacy take over?
My Thoughts on the Book
I
seem to have a love hate relationship with these books. I loved the
first 5 (yes even the 5th one) Hated #6 and have been ok with the rest.
What I have hated with the rest has been the same for almost all of
them. Too many story lines in one book that have nothing to do with the
main plot of the book. I am all for setting up for future books but it
does not have to be done will full chapters especially when they do not
link to the main story in any way. It is the same with THE KING. I
love love loved the Beth and Wrath story I really did and I was so happy
with how all of that played out but I had to wade through so many other
chapters to get there it was almost not worth it at times. I also
thought we were going to solve the John/Darius issue is this book and
there would have been a few places in the story it would have worked
perfectly so I thought I liked the chapters with John in them ( ok I
did, but) she did not address it and just left it hanging. I thought I
was done with this series after the last one but when I saw that this
book was going to be about Wrath and Beth I had to give the series
another try. I am glad I did because I fell in love with Wrath all over
again but I am not sure I want to continue with the book after this
one. This would have been a 6 star book for me if she focused only on
Wrath and Beth the the other plots that were link to them. The rest
could have waited or been placed in novellas to set us up for the next
book.
