Let Love Heal Release Day

Perfection. We all strive for it, but what happens when the desire to be perfect consumes you? What happens when the need to bury your mistakes blinds you? Melanie Crane has always been the perfect daughter, friend, student – she’s been perfect at everything, in fact. But when she lets her insecurities, the ones that she keeps hidden from everyone, get the best of her, she falters in her pursuit of perfection. Melanie crumples under the pressure and buries her pain. Numbed by sadness and guilt, she is determined never to let anyone find out how broken she really is. Bryan Mahoney may appear to have everything in order. He’s charming, witty and completely swoon-worthy. In short, Bryan has life all figured out, but appearances can be deceiving. When the landscape of Bryan’s family changes in an instant, he’s left to pick up the pieces. Not all bruises leave a mark. Now, weary and afraid, Melanie and Bryan must find a way to let love heal their broken and jaded hearts. I’ve always been an avid reader. Majoring in English Literature was a no brainer. Becoming a teacher and instilling my love for reading into my students was also a no brainer. I’ve spent the last ten years teaching and I’ve loved (mostly) every minute of it. When I was home on maternity leave for my third son, I discovered a new genre that sparked my creativity. My passion for writing sprang from my love of reading and once I knew I had a story to tell, I couldn’t wait to get it out there. I only hope that my readers enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I loved this book from beginning to end. The first two books were amazing and this one was no exception. I was so excited when i found out that Melanie and Bryan were getting their own story because i wanted them to be happy too. We see more of their story in this book and learn more about them which caused me to fall even more in love with them! I highly reccomend this book and the entire series as well!!!!

Meant for Her
Raine Thomas
NA Contemporary Romance
Blurb:
Photographer Sierra Stratton views the world through a lens all her own. She has an uncanny sense about people, something that often causes her trouble. When she meets the sexy and brooding Evan Dorsey, her intuition tells her he’s suffering, and she wants to be the one to help him.

Evan isn’t open to help from anyone, however. His focus is on his Major League career and making himself as marketable as possible for his upcoming free agency. He plans to ride out the season in Atlanta and then sign with another team, away from the painful memories that haunt him.

Someone’s eager to send him on his way, too. Between anonymous threats and equipment sabotage, it’s clear he’s earned himself an enemy along the way. To him, it’s one more sign that he’s right to move on.

But Sierra threatens his conviction. Her contagious smile proves hard to resist, as does her kiss. She tempts him in ways he never anticipated, making him question his plans for the first time. If he’s not careful, she might just convince him that he’s meant for her.

Review:

I was very excited to hear the Thomas was doing another contemporary novel.  I loved For Everly and wanted more.  Meant for Her begins in a lovely spin-off scene with the For Everly characters.  Sierra and Evan have an instant connection but it isn't there time.  The next chapter starts a few months later when Evan joins the Atlanta team.

Meant for Her is now one of my favorite New Adult novels.  It has a beautifully written love story but it's a little different from the typical.  Sierra is a very strong female character.  Once she feels that instant connection with Evan, she knows what she wants.  And she makes sure she gets what she wants.  This is what made Meant for Her fresh but still kept with the New Adult trend.

In the story Evan isn't ready to let go of his hurt to love Sierra, but with a little bit of help from her relatives and some patience, she's able to continue to try for him.  The push and pull from Evan throughout the book made me keep flipping the page.  I enjoyed seeing him come around to the idea of Sierra.  

Overall this book gets 5 Stars from me.  I enjoyed the characters and the fluctuations in the story line kept it interesting throughout!  Also Go Braves!  :)

Persephone's Orchard Review

Persephone's Orchard by Molly Ringle

 Goodreads

The Greek gods never actually existed. Did they? Sophie Darrow finds she was wrong about that assumption when she's pulled into the spirit realm, complete with an Underworld, on her very first day at college. Adrian, the mysterious young man who brought her there, simply wants her to taste a pomegranate. And soon, though she returns to her regular life, her mind begins exploding with dreams and memories of ancient times--of a love between two Greeks named Persephone and Hades. But lethal danger has always surrounded the immortals, and now that she's tainted with the Underworld's magic, that danger is drawing closer to Sophie.

Molly Ringle

Review:

I honestly loved this book. It took a different view of the Greek gods. I love stories that have to do with gods. This story is centered around Sophie and Adrian though. Adrian was the mystery I was trying to figure out to begin with. But, then I had to figure out what was going on with Sophie. I love when I don´t know what is going to happen in a book. This book fit the bill for sure. I loved the whole story line and will be reading this book again very soon. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a great story to figure out.
