Bad Man on Campus (Big Men on Campus #3) by Stephanie Queen

4-stars

This second chance romance was my first read by Stephanie Queen and it was a great introduction. As this was the third book of the series, I can honestly say that it can be read as a standalone as I had no problem jumping in with book 3.

This story follows Kace and Glory, two broken characters with an emotional past. The author did a great job in conveying those emotions and tension, as the reader I felt as if I could feel those emotions through the pages. It was heavy, unpredictable, heart breaking, and complex.

I enjoyed how this wasn’t your typical romance read, it was a nice change! I hope to read more about these characters in the future!

Journeys Through SpaceTime – James Talisman

4-stars

I’m going to start by saying that this is not my normal go to genre, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. It was nothing like I was expecting, which I loved!

It’s incredibly detailed (sometimes overwhelmingly so), complex & dynamic (with the many storylines and POV’s), well thought through and truly one a kind. Right from the beginning I was intrigued with the storylines and couldn’t wait to find out how they all came together, I was kept entertained the whole way through, sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to get all of questions answered.

This is the authors debut novel so obviously the first I’ve read but I look forward to reading more in the future! This was truly a journey and I would absolutely recommend it to others!

Competing with the Star is the first book I’ve read by this author and also the second book in the Star series. I would strongly suggest reading book 1 before reading book 2 as I had to piece things together as best as I could in order to truly enjoy this read. However, I did still enjoy this YA romance read.

I enjoyed how the author managed to create a solid group of friends, their interactions seemed really genuine and real to how they would behave at that age given the circumstances. I look forward to going back and reading book 1 to find out how everything started!

By Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon

This is a wonderful resource for parents of a special needs child, as well as, a good resource for any parent in any given situation! This author had me in absolute tears while reading her personal story, though her story is heart wrenching it also had me feeling so inspired and hopeful. The love that this mom has for her daughter can be felt through the beautiful words she wrote and I loved that.

My children are not special needs; however, I still feel like I was able to take away so many lessons from this book. It really puts things into perspective and I love her checklists, because they can be applied to any parenting situation.

I would highly recommend this book to any parent looking for any sort of guidance. It’s a wonderful read full of valuable information.

This cannot be read as a standalone so I would suggest reading Blue Summer Part One first before diving into this one. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next paranormal read, it’s a story you won’t want to miss!

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book after finishing book 4, I just had to know how everything was going to play out! I enjoyed all of the twist and turns of this story, the steamy moments, the insight into the many characters and of course the devoted fan letters.

As I reached the end, I felt as if the big scene at the end of the book fell flat. I had high hopes for the outcome and found that there just wasn’t enough detail for my liking. However, in saying that I did still thoroughly enjoy this series and would recommend it to others.

P.S. Dumond is a phenomenal author and this series is unlike any other.
