My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about hope. Matt and Mikeala have found happiness in each other but it is always followed by a shadow of illness. Matt continues his battle with cancer, hoping that a potential bone marrow transplant from a sister he only just discovered can save the day. Together, Matt and Mikeala battle through it all, balancing moments of sorrow with ones of joy. But can they hope for a bright future when so much is at stake?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Matt struggling to stay hopeful or Mikeala trying to be strong for Matt and still follow her passions. Great cast of supporting characters like Daniel as a fun friend or Kate stubborn and brave. I loved the sense of a large family in the novel full of love and support for one another. However, at times all the drama with his sister got confusing and perhaps could be simplified for the reader.
I loved the use of contrasts in the novel with the whites of the hospital and the colourful decorations later on. Also with the moments of sadness and joy making the characters and their struggles more relatable and emotive. Or the bright hopes and dreams contrasting with the reality of illness perfectly written. I also liked the use of dates in the novel to give an indication of time progressing quickly for Matt which was a great addition. The mix of the science of hospitals and cancer with the romance of love and marriage combined perfectly to make a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love on the Line (Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens Book 2) by Laurie Lewis was a sweet, emotional read, that complimented the first book quite well.

The second book in this original heart punching series, and I will tell you that the hard feels has carried over, and man oh man, I didn’t think I would be raked over the coles again. Laurie Lewis sure has a way with words and making me want to cry every three seconds. I will say that this book pretty much picks up wheres the last left off, though it reads well, and could be read as a standalone, I do highly suggest reading the first book, or you won’t get the full impact of their complex relationship.

As this is the second book, I’m not going to tell you anything, but I will tell you that, I fell easy into this read. I was hooked and could not put this book down. My only quirm, was that, the ending felt rushed a little bit. I don’t know if it was done to keep the word count down, or if it was done like that, to keep us readers guessing and wanting more. But I need book three, so those loss ends can be tidied up.

Overall this book is a sweet, raw emotional read, that will rip your hearts strings to pieces. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will need tissues close by.

Happy Reading

I have read a couple of books from this amazing author but she keeps on surprising me. I absolutely love a beautiful Christian romance but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the Great Expectations Love Stories. You do need to read this first book before you read this one or you will get totally lost. I was so excited for this book when it came out. When I got it I immediately started to read it. This story touches my heart so much I could not stop. It only took me a day to devour this truly beautiful story.

Matt and Mikaela fell for each other instantly. They knew that they have found their one. Mikaela finds out that Matt has a very deadly disease that could kill him but she doesn’t care. They want a life with each other no matter how long it will last. Mikaela went across the world to see if she can find his birth sister to help out Matt. She brings his sister back for a miracle surgery. Matt knows that it is going to be a tough road but he is willing to take the chance. Matt and Mikaela start a project that starts to get stressful. Matt needs to be careful about his stress level for his health. Will Matt and Mikaela get through the hard times or will it all be too much for them?

I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, pain, struggles, and forgiveness. You will fall back in love with these characters all over again. Matt and Mikaela will always have special place in my heart. These characters will make you feel all of the feels from pure joy to complete devastation. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I absolutely loved the ending so much I had tears coming down my cheeks. I can’t wait to see what this author will have for us next.

Hands down, this emotional roller coaster is worth every single emotion you will experience. I simply adored this book and these characters. The story is so well developed I found myself reading the last page before I knew it. Just a fantastic book and series. Loved it.
