Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove #1)Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars because I was worried for Ellawyn’s life. This book is amazing and so sad how Ellawyn had to leave her life behind due to some troubles she had. Other wise of that I would gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. But when she finally found a place where she can be herself and feel like she is protected, she has no clue that those dark storms come back into her life. But true love found its way to her through the bookstore she loves to go in and stay until closing and found comfort. So I have to say the Author had me so sad at first and sacred when Ellawyn was in danger. But happy when Backett came alone for her.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Callie is a girl with a heart of gold. As Bellevue’s star gymnast she is fiercely driven. When she lays eyes on Evan Alder for the first time, she knows that she will do anything to get to know him. As she is watching him and the rest of his team jog past their dorm room many of Callie’s teammates also spot Evan and think he’s dreamy. Callie decides to call dibs on him though because she spotted him first.

What Callie does not see is that Evan Adler is a broken man. Evan has given up his NHL career to focus on his mental health. By his own definition, Evan is a worthless failure unable to live up to great Adler hockey legacy. He has failed himself and let his whole family down. These are the thoughts that Evan cannot drive out of his head, the inner demons that he battles with everyday.

Callie gets her chance to know Evan when she hurts her ankle, and he must tape it up for her. Callie is determined to take a shot at love with Evan. Will Evan ever feel good enough to get past his inner demons? Will Callie’s love and patience be enough?

A beautifully written story about how love can truly conquer all. I loved how the author tackled the issue of mental health and the inner demons that many of us struggle with daily as we doubt our own worth. It shows how even those that seemingly have everything going for them also struggle with the feelings of failure, rejection, and low self worth. I highly recommend!
