The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2) by M. Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Heather Lovelace

The Divided Twin (Divided #2)The Divided Twin by M. Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Billiter does an amazing job tackling a difficult subject in this book and series. This second book is best read in series order. This book follows Aaron and Branson and David and explores schizophrenia. A difficult topic but an amazing exploration of relationships and mental health. I was glued to the pages and really enjoy Billiter collaborating with her son in this book. Extremely well done.

Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 2) by CA Miconi – Review by Heather Lovelace

Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs, #2)Be One with Me by C.A. Miconi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miconi does a beautiful job writing stories filled with deep characters and raw emotion. This book had me riding a roller coaster I both expected and was unprepared for, in a very real and beautiful way. This story shows the beautiful reality of finding commonalities no matter the stark contrast of backgrounds between two people. How tragedy can bind. How opposites can balance. I look forward to reading this again as well as reading the other book in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

These types of stories always send me on the best possible emotional rollercoaster. Race does a fantastic job setting the stage for a beautiful story. I was immediately invested, rooting for the main characters to find a way. Because at the end, aren’t we all looking for our own HEA? This played to my romantic heart with a foot kept firmly in reality. I had a hard time putting this down and simply wanted to spend more time with these characters. Beautiful book.

This newest addition to the Carolina Kisses series continues her well-standing tradition of heart filled story. I was glued to this one on the first page and happily read it in one sitting. Highly recommend!

Kells is simply a master at her craft. This paranormal romance has it all – including the unlikely pairing of a witch and a vampire. This book and series continue to feed my love of paranormal fiction. And when it is written as well as this – needless to say this was a lovely afternoon lost in a world of Kells’ creation.

Alexander doesn’t disappoint – well, EVER – when looking for a steamy read. And the escapades continue at her adult resort called Spicetopia. This fifth installment in the series can be read as a stand-alone. But you won’t want to… the writing is just way too good. You’ll laugh and cry and threaten to throat punch. And you’ll definitely need a fan and a cold drink. But you will love this book and series. I know I do!

Wow. This relationship filled story left my heart shattered in the best possible way. So many emotions! Going in to this I expected to enjoy the storyline but I was unprepared for the multiple layers to the story that added such a fantastic depth to each page. Lost love, lost family, reignited passion, going home – so many wonderful layers. Archer does a beautiful job with this book. It stands alone easily (for which I’m thankful not having yet read the first in the series). But I will definitely look to add more from this series and author to my library ASAP.

Clark is a known author to me but this genre was a new one from her for me. And I loved it! Sometimes when dystopian and romance are mixed they become diluted and predictable. But this story had all of the elements well established and the plot kept quick pace and kept me guessing. I loved this story and cannot wait to go back and read it again.

Grimes is a new author for me and I loved every page of this book. Although intended for a YA audience, it is so well written I believe readers of all ages (including this middle age woman) will thoroughly enjoy this paranormal adventure. Louvette is a strong and feisty character that I immediately like from the first page. She has fire and spirit and I immediately wanted to know more about her and her relationship with her mom and her background. You knew it was going to be interesting. But I never quite anticipated each turn the story took. I really enjoyed the story pace and the author’s ability to keep things fresh. Fantasy lovers – this is a must read!

I am a huge history fan with a soft spot for mythology. And when this book fell into my hands I couldn’t believe my luck. I jumped into the series with this book (and now will be running to pick up book one) and was immediately transported to ancient mythology. I was fascinated by Evan and his struggle (and what an understandable struggle it is). The quest was epic, which when involving mythology it always should be. I was riveted and very much pulled into this epic adventure. Again I can’t wait to go back and read book one. And I look forward to reading more from this author.
