Unbreakable (The Diamonds Book 1) by Tee Smith- Review by Shadel Ayerbe

Unbreakable (The Diamonds, #1)Unbreakable by Tee Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unbreakable (The Diamonds Book 1) by Tee Smith has romance and suspense. It can be the best of both worlds.

Erin made the decision to return to Rosewood Bay to care for her ailing mother because she was an only child raised by two loving parents. It’s made simpler by the fact that she’s leaving her loveless marriage. She hadn’t planned to fall in love, but life doesn’t often go as planned. The fact that he was tall, dark, gorgeous, secretive, and nothing like her ex just added to the allure. Perhaps a “bad lad” was just what she required in her life.

Curtis “Ripper” Bandura has spent his whole life attempting to escape his problems. He thinks she’s too good to be true when he meets the sultry red-haired nurse. He’s not the kind to marry and start a family. Everything eventually comes apart. For the time being, he’s content to lie in the sun. Trouble, unfortunately, has a habit of following him around, and it’s not long until it threatens to demolish all of his aspirations and goals. He knows he can only keep his history hidden from the woman he loves for so long before it destroys them both. Ripper’s dark history threatens to tear their worlds apart when their worlds intersect. Is it too late for them both to be saved by the truth?

I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book that I have read from this author, I cant wait to read more of the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn is a great dark fantasy.

Everyone knows something about the stairs, the tattoos, and the kidnappings, but I have no idea what to ask. When the queen of the small country of Arcadia is killed, inter-racial tensions reach a boiling point. For decades, the delicate Ellisians have subjugated the stronger and more numerous Cadians, subduing and torturing them with the powerful Negaforce, but the Cadians have now discovered a leader who can organize them into rebelling. The queen’s two daughters were meant to die as well, but both efforts failed, and the kingdom is now in the hands of the older sister, whose brutality has been fine-tuned by her anxiety. Males with their inferior Negaforce have no significance in the Ellisians’ matriarchal culture. They are abandoned at birth and taken to be trained as mindless warriors to watch over the Cadians. When the queen’s younger sister discovers that many of these Brethren warriors are her brothers, a chain reaction of disaster begins.

Most people believe that one kidnapping in a lifetime is enough. But, being an overachiever, she had to go for two. Isn’t it true that if you don’t go large, you’ll never go home? That’s incorrect? If she believed she understood the sorcerer’s power previously, she was dead wrong. Nothing, or no one, was going to stand in his way now that he had what he desired in his sights.

There was just one terrible death. Two souls wracked with remorse. They haven’t been able to connect because of years of anguish and remorse. Until one night, when an accident occurs, it completely changes everything.

He is buzzed. Angry. At the age of twenty-four, that’s him. He had no intention of becoming this guy, but the murder of my sister had an impact on him. He holds himself responsible, but he also holds Angel responsible. His sister died as a result of her silence. One night, his anguish takes a new turn. He is informed of his actions when he wakes up in the hospital. Everyone believes he attempted to murder Angel on purpose. But he didn’t mean to hit her, and he has no recollection of the incident.
