She was left with a ton of unanswered questions and an irreparable hole in her thirteen-year-old heart when, two years later, Dad vanished without a word. Five years after the betrayal, she moved from a trailer park in Palmer to an Atlanta house, her wardrobe has changed from secondhand to designer, and bullies no longer kiss the ground beneath her feet.

She interacts with various prisoners, but just one really grabs her attention. John Manard, who escaped from prison with Toby’s assistance, is who he is. Before being apprehended, they were on the run for 12 days. Through her several court appearances, Toby had to develop her media savvy after becoming an overnight sensation. She served a few years in prison for her misdeeds, and in this book, she recounts her experience there.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this crazy prison world. I couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Walk off by Bree Kraemer is a great second chance romance that leaves you wanting more.

Kyle and Celia have a common history. Lies, passion, half-truths, and hurt abound in this past. Kyle’s heart was broken when Celia dumped him eight years ago, but she also broke her own, in all honesty. Although they both moved on, they discovered that they still had a special place in their hearts for one another. They reignite their emotions for one another when they run into one another at the wedding of a mutual acquaintance. Kyle is a gracious person. But eight years ago, Celia made that decision for him.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down.
