Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.

At twelve, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

At thirteen, he gave me my first kiss.

By sixteen, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.

Love never fails, right?

But for Ramsey, it did.

Love failed him.

I failed him.

The entire world failed him.

At seventeen, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.

Move on,he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.

Start a new life, he urged.

I don’t love you anymore, he lied.

There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine—then, now, and forever.

So here I am, twelve long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

Book Review -- Hush Hush by Lucia Franco

Posted on by Lys

1

Lucia Franco is the Queen of controversial reads! Despite its taboo aspects, Hush Hush, ended up being sweeter than I thought it would be. 

Aubrey/Valentina is an interesting complex heroine just like I like them, she's sexually liberated and is ok with having one night stands and having sex just for the pleasure. And no friend is there to call her a slut or to be the judge counterpart I found that really refreshing. 

I loved how she found love when she really didn't expect it or even looked for it. The age gap and the twist really added to it, I really wondered how it could work out until the very end. Very stressful !

Some things made me uncomfortable at first, there's drug use and there is a theme of sex work but honestly it's just because I'm not used to this in this genre and i'm not gonna lie I wish authors would be more daring. It doesn't hurt to step out of our reading zone from time to time. 

Also the H James was very sexy, I loved his connection with the heroine, their chemistry was amazing from their first moment I knew they would be super hot together.

Hush, Hush so far is one of my favorite 2019, I didn't read many books this year not as much as in 2018 and I missed that feeling when you anticipate a book release and can't stop reading and steal some moment at work to do it. 

5 stars

Book Review -- Forbidden by Time by Negeen Papehn

Posted on by Lys

0

I can't believe this is the end. This series is so important to me, I remember when I couldn't stop reading the first book even to sleep, and when I was in a major book slump and the second book got me out of it. 

This one follows Bita story, it's funny because I usually dread when a character I disliked in a series end up getting their books. Bita frustrated me so much in Forbidden by Faith when she didn't support Maziar and Sara that I thought it would be hard to get into her book. I was so wrong !

Bita and Ramtin are so good together, their chemistry,their passion and their connection is EVERYTHING I wish it would be when I read the blurb. Everything happened organically between them, they felt good together, couldn't help but be around each other and it deepened their connection until it became impossible to deny their powerful attraction. I love that even though I knew they would happened i felt every single thing, it was like I was Bita and i couldn't help but feel frustrated when Ramtin took a step back, her joy everytime she felt that something was happening between them. Until their very first kiss I could feel the uncertainty. 

With age gap in relationships the difficulty is to not feel the bittersweetness because the older person has more experience and in this case Ramtin is divorced and has two daughters and a very present ex-wife. It's not the same feeling when you have a young couple that get to live their firsts together but Ramtin and Bita's love never felt tainted by their age difference or by the obstacles they had to face. 
I felt the excitation of their blossoming love even if they were hiding; and when their secret was discovered I firmly believed they could overcome her family's disapproval. When the topic of children came I felt Ramtin's conflicted stance it didn't cheapen his love for Bita.

I can't believe it's over, I'm certainly not ready to say goodbye to these characters. You won't regret reading this series, love stories are universal but reading about other cultures and perspective is definitely important. I may not be from Iran but the topic addressed, the sense of community and the cultural and generational clash is something I could totally relate to and it felt GREAT to be able to connect more with the characters. 

FIVE STARS !

Review - Forbidden by Destiny by Negeen Papehn

 Nothing is better than this feeling, when you read the first pages of a book and you just know it will consume you. 

I don't want to give anything away, because this book can stand alone but it's still part of a bigger arc. I think you won't be able to appreciate the depth of this story unless you've read the first book. You need to experience the love triangle between Sara, Maziar and Ben to truly get what is at stake when Leyla, Sara's best friend and Ben Sara's ex-boyfriend fall for each other. 

I for example felt my heart breaking for both Sara and Leyla because the author did an amazing job at portraying a meaningful, solid friendship between two girls in their twenties. I also could understand how conflicting the situation was for Leyla because of Negeen Papehn stellar character development. In theory the choice between a man and your closest girlfriend is easily made but I got Leyla, this was not just lust it was a once in a lifetime love, a love she never felt, a love she never dreamed of feeling. 

What I love the most about Papehn is the fact that you can tell that each of the books of this series is written with passion and that it's not just another book to sell to eager readers.He stories are never predictable, she writes about heavy subjects and it's not always easy to read but it's also never gratuitous, everything on her characters journeys happen for a reason. 

As a french girl whose parents are first generation of immigrants I felt truly connected to this cast of characters and their family dynamic. I'm not Iranian but I felt the story was authentic and resonated with my own experience. 

When I finished reading Forbidden by Destiny I became a fan of her work, I can't wait to get my copy of Forbidden by Time, the next book of the Forbidden Love series.

This is an arc I was generously offered in exchanged of a honest review but I want you guys to know that I loved it so much that I'm gonna buy my own copy on February 19th. 

Excerpt Reveal — Tattered by Devney Perry

Here's a snippet from Tattered in anticipation of its June 19 release! This is probably my most anticipated book of the moment, I cannot wait to read it! The early reviews are amazing so far.






EXCERPT
“Yes!” My arms shot in the air. I punched the air a couple of times before clapping and shouting, “Way to go, Charlie! Nice save!”
I was so damn proud. I hoped she could hear me yelling. Her success felt better than any I’d ever had personally, and I’d known her for just a couple days.
Parental pride was incredible.
And I wasn’t alone in my feelings. When I stopped cheering for my daughter, I looked to my side to see that Thea had gotten off the blanket and was cheering too. Her smile was beaming, brighter than any I’d seen before.
“Couldn’t stay seated?” I nudged her elbow with mine.
“Quiet, gorgeous.”
Gorgeous.
I’d been given nicknames in the past by women. My girlfriend in high school had called me Lo-Lo. Emmeline used to call me darling. Alice had annoyed the fuck out of me by whispering stud in my ear. I hadn’t really liked any of them, not even Emmeline’s.
But Thea’s gorgeous was hot as hell.
Mostly because she said it with that smile.
She could call me an asshole or a douchebag with that smile and I wouldn’t care.
TATTERED
Lark Cove Book 1
By Devney Perry
Release Day – June 19
Standalone


Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It’s somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour.
So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again.
Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself.
But for their daughter.

Review — Rising (Vincent and Eve #1) by Jessica Ruben

Posted on by Lys

0



As the bus approaches my stop on the Lower East Side, I raise the hood of my black sweatshirt. Anonymity is key in my neighborhood—particularly as a lone female walking at night. All I want is to leave my crime-ridden shadow of a home in New York City. I’ve done everything I can to keep my head down and focus on my studies. College is my only goal; love has never been on the map…That is, until my sister brings me to an underground fight, where I meet a gorgeous and mysterious man: Vincent. He is the ghost in my shadows, showing up to feed me pieces of his upper-crust life, then evaporating into darkness until his next visit. I’m falling hard and fast. How can I trust him amidst the depth of his secrets? Vincent may be even more dangerous than the dark world I’m trying to escape.


I'm honestly speechless ! I LOVED Rising and now I crave death because I have to wait for the second book. It's gonna be unbearable of course but I'm not complaining because it's the best, nothing is better than a STRONG trilogy.

Wanting more of life even when everything seems made to discourage you is something I can totally relate to and I believe that Jessica really manage to capture this feeling well. Eve and Vincent are PERFECT together you can really feel their connection, my heart was racing every time they were together and from their first encounter. Eve is such a strong, inspiring heroine, she's EVERYTHING I'm looking for in a heroine. I adore this character ! Vincent was intriguing at first, he was an enigma and I was focused on finding out more about him. I started to fall in love with him, the more I discovered new layers of his personality, the more he gave Eve . These characters are complex and full of depth, everything felt real about them and their interactions.

This is the first book in a trilogy but don't let that stop you from starting this series. I think it's a really smart choice from the author because this book really build the characters in a way that  wouldn't have been possible with just one book. . It doesn't feel like one stretched out novel . The ending leaves you wanting more but in a good way, I didn't feel frustrated or thrown off by a gratuitous wtf moment.

I'm SO impressed with Jessica, I can't believe it's her first novel. It's such an edgy first book and I'm so happy that she took that risk. She choose to explore a side of New York that is rarely depicted in this genre and I can't wait to read book II. I'm so excited to read more from her, you can really tell that she put everything in this story, that she's passionate about Eve and Vincent. That's what I'm looking for when I read, I don't want to just read a romance novel, it has to mean something to the author and I think you can tell when that's the case.
Rising is one of the most refreshing reads of the year and at the same time I agree with people who say that it gives super old school new adult vibes!

If you enjoy a good love story but like your books with action and suspense then this series is definitely for you.

 4.5 stars!
