My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Romanov Heiress is a wonderful historical fiction novel, bringing us the story of the four Romanov sisters, hiding in England after they were rescued before their certain deaths.
These young women remain in hiding, but they cannot do so forever. They have learned from their previous life to be resourceful and they will not be Imperial Highnesses again. When the girls learn that someone is blaming their mother for the fall of the empire, Olga sets out to learn the truth.
Olga becomes Olivia, and while working as a maid, she discovers secrets that will not only upset her life and the lives of her sisters, but also the young lordship whom she befriended.
These characters are so well-written; I often-times forgot the true fate of the Romanov Dynasty! This book kept me hooked until the end.

This book is honestly not something I would normally read but every so often I like to try something different and the synopsis piqued my interest so I thought I would give it a go. It was a good read and I liked that it was different. The author wrote about the trigger subject really well and I found I have a connection with the character as we followed the story. The author did write the story really well and it certainly had some thought provoking moments, although I’ve not been in the situation like Ben its interesting how you can imagine how he feels and the guilt that he has carried for the past forty years. It was interesting to follow his story of self-discovery whilst dealing with what he witnessed all those years ago.

This was my first read by this author and it was very good! The material is a bit dark, but it encompasses the life of a rich, high school student so well. It’s written in first person and written just as a high schooler would write it. The realness of the situations mentioned is refreshing because they aren’t corny interactions. I really enjoyed this book.

What an emotional read but so very well written. Usually with emotional reads I need to take several breaks, so it can take days to weeks to read from beginning until end, fortunately this was very much unlike the rest. I was very engaged from beginning till end.
Although this was a nonfiction novel, it felt so real, as if I was reading her story. The writing truly was captivating.

The Romanov Heiress by Jennifer Laam is a wonderfully gripping historical fiction story with plenty of dramatic developments that kept me engrossed the whole way through. This might have been my first read by Ms. Laam, but her passion for history and cleverly crafted story has ensured that I will be definitely be coming back for more of her work in the future.
The author has woven a bold, rich, and lavishly textured story which is full of vivid descriptions that have showcased her attention to detail, all of which results in bringing the era, and story, to life. I can see this making a wonderful television series, or even an epic movie.
This is a story based on the real Romanov family- bringing all of the ‘Anastasia’ feels- but with the authors original and fictional take on the facts. Its full of action, danger, intrigue, suspense, politics, agendas, dark secrets, complexities, and even a touch of romance.
Four sisters have fled Russia in fear for their lives. Olga, the eldest of the girls takes it upon herself to keep her siblings safe from all the turmoil. Not knowing if the rest of their family is alive or dead weighs heavily on them all. They end up in England where they must try to adjust to their new circumstances. Their identities need to remain hidden. But a supposed betrayal means Olga will need to undercover if there is to be any hope of unearthing the truth. What happens makes for a captivating read…. So, if you love historical fiction, the Romanov era, or a gripping storyline- then you will definitely want to get your hands on a copy of this book.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Laam.
Happy reading…

Thank you, Jennifer Laam!

I love history and the tragedy of the Romanov’s the last Tsars of Russia is a heartbreaking tale. The author did an amazing job of re-imaging what it could have looked like had the daughters survived. She was able to perfectly describe how they would have felt living in disguise, in fear of being discovered, and the heartache of losing their parents and younger brother. The second youngest daughter Anastasia is well known, so it was wonderful to get to see the perspective from Olga, the eldest daughter. She has to work to keep her sisters safe and after reading about how a peer of the realm is accusing her mother, a German princess, of betraying Russia, she can’t sit back and let it happen. The author does an amazing job of describing how the former Grand Duchess might feel in this situation. The story centers on the sisters and their bond, but there are elements of romance sprinkled in. It looks like there is going to be a sequel and I can’t wait to see what happens with the other sisters.

First off, there are some sensitive subjects in this book. That said, it is a well-written story that draws you in right from the start. The characters in the story are so relatable- I could feel all of their emotions and I really identify with them. It is a thought provoking and gut-wrenching story. This is overall an emotional and engaging read.

The Romanov Heiress
By: Jennifer Laam

This is such a wonderful story. As a child, I loved the animated movie of Anastasia and really have been pretty interested in the story of the Romanov family. So of course I saw this book and knew that I had to read this and it definitely did not disappoint. I love how this is an alternative events timeline as if the girls had escaped and how they escaped. I loved how they managed to escape and stay hidden. I also loved the tales of Olga and all that she did. This really is an amazing historical fiction story that I truly recommend. I read through it so quickly and did not want it to end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jennifer’s love of writing comes in the form of writing Russian historical fiction. The Romanov Heiress is her fourth published book and the first book I have read by her. The real history of the Romanov family is a sad tale. One full of heartache and heartbreak. One full of secrets and lies. The Romanov family was the last imperial dynasty to rule Russia.
Jennifer has weaved a most intriguing plot based on Russian history through a fascinating fictional story. Full of interesting twists and turns every step of the way. Dangers lurking around every corner, lost heirs, greed, political power struggles, ambitions, romance, secrets and lies.
There are many emotional elements in this tale with lots of palpable tension, angst frustrations, scared, betrayal and fear where the Romanov’s lives are in turmoil, lives have been destroyed and the future is uncertain.
Now in hiding after running for their lives Olga tries to reconcile the past and what she thought she knew. But she uncovers so much she no longer knows which way is up or down. Through all this she must keep what is left of their family safe at all costs.
It was and intriguing and interesting to read. If you like historical fiction you will like this.

If you’ve read my any of my reviews, you know that historical fiction is my absolute most favorite genre to read. This book did not disappoint at all!

Jennifer Laam is a new-to-me author and I thoroughly enjoyed how she weaved together this story of the Grand Duchesses of the Romanov family. Their harrowing escape by a generous benefactor is the beginning of this story and will lead you until these ladies can finally breath somewhat again. This is a time period that I’m not as familiar with but I feel that the story was captured fairly accurately in terms of the history. I can’t imagine having to live as Olga and her sisters had to in order to survive. Their story is beautifully tragic and I look forward to reading the next book in their adventures together.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is so real. Privileged kids who think they can do anything they want with no consequences, sadly that happens all too often.
I loved this book. I very rarely rate a book 5 stars unless it is Stephen King, however this book deserves 5 stars, there are a few grammatical mistakes but that does not take away from the story at all.
I was pulled in so well that I felt all the emotions that Ben was feeling. I absolutely could not put this book down. The struggle within himself about what was wrong and what was right, what had happened to Claire that night and what was the right thing to do. Should he tell or should he try to forget about it? It was tough seeing this young boy struggling with what to do and the guilt of what he has witnessed. I felt every single emotion with him and at times I felt sorry for him as he realized no one was in his corner and at other times I really wanted to shake him and say “Ben, you know the right thing to do, now go and do it”. However I also realized the trouble trying to understand as a teenager, the struggles within himself. I loved Phoebe and her family, they were great to me, they did break the law sometimes but they loved adventure. Would Ben’s phone call 40 years later be answered and would they ever get closure?
This is one of the best books I ever read and it will stay in my favorites, as I often reread my favorites. I will be looking for more books from Laura Koerber as she is an amazing author.

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to seeing what is next for her. I enjoyed how she used her writing skills to pull me into the story with ease. Her characters made the story easy to read and had me coming back for more. They have great growth and add so much to the story. This is a fast paced, suspenseful historical story that is hard to put down. A story about four sisters along with dark secrets and a relationship that is even darker. I enjoyed the suspense and the twists and turns that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. This is a story you don’t want to miss. A well developed story that is engaging and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

This was a gripping historical fiction story. The author had done a amazing job with researching the era and all the attention to detail really brought the story to life and made me feel like I was experiencing that time period along with the characters.
This is a story full of danger, Suspense a chance of romance and secrets that will be revealed over time. How are you meant to react when you find yourself falling for someone who is the enemy? Why are they the enemy in the first place? And what connection is there to the Romanova sisters family.

The Romanova sisters have escaped with their lives and moved to England. Olga is the eldest sister and its her job to protect her younger sisters but being in isolation is putting pressure on their relationships. Now the sisters must navigate a new place and start a new life all the while protecting their identities.
When Olga find out that her mother is thought to have given secrets to the enemy she goes undercover as a maid to try and discover the truth about her mum and what her actions mean for the sisters.
This is a gripping read that keeps you on the edge of your seat as the secrets get reveled. I loved the historical detail as it really brings the story to life.

With her parents and brother missing and presumed dead, Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe. The Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate any remaining holdovers from the tsarist regime, hunting down the last Romanovs and putting them to death. Now living in England, the Romanov sisters remain hidden to protect their identities, even as isolation strains their relationships.

But they can’t distance themselves from the world forever.

Olga learns that a peer of the realm has accused the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War. Under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin, Alexandra disclosed military secrets to the enemy. If this rumor becomes a part of the historical record, it will destroy her mother’s reputation and her sisters’ futures.

Disguised as “Olivia,” a wartime nurse turned maid, Olga accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. There, she works to discover the truth about her mother. When Olga meets his lordship’s heir—an alluring but enigmatic veteran—her situation grows even more precarious. The more she learns about the tragedies of his past, the more complicated and dangerous their connection, and her own family’s legacy, turns out to be.

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Trigger Warnings: Rape

Ben had it all: an expensive private school education, summers in Europe, and an admission to Yale. When he lets his so-called friends Clint, Rob, and Marty talk him into attending a party he doesn’t realize the choices made that very night will affect him for the rest of his life. Constantly regretting not coming forth with what he saw, Ben wonders how his life could have changed if he would have been honest. Now forty years later he is making the call that he hopes will help clear his conscious.

The Summer I Went Crazy is a remake of Coyote Summer. It is a thought provoking, coming of Age novel. Laura Koerber knows her way around dark, sensitive topics, writing with such detail and compassion. The problematic decisions made by these teenage boys causes a lot of pressure and guilt. To see Ben go through the different parts of his life with this one decision weighing so heavily on his mind was a perfect example of why we have to think before we act. One decision can affect you for the remainder of your life. Koerber does any amazing job making these characters believable and relatable in so many ways. This book will send you on an emotional roller coaster ride.

What do you get when you have a badass female biker gang blowing up sex trafficking rings and helping the victims heal? A fantastic story, that’s what. I went into this one, assuming there would be quite a bit of smut, and was thoroughly surprised to find very little smut and a full-on plot. Though I wished we had a full-blown action scene during the big climax, I’m happy with how things went and am immediately jumping into the second installment.

I fell in love with this book right away. Tink is a strong, independent women and when she put her mind to something she did it no matter what got in her way. the trauma she endured in her childhood really made it her life’s mission to save as many as she can from human traffickers. The roller coaster of a ride this book took me on was so entertaining and wonderful I couldn’t put it down. The suspense in this book really kept me reading to know what was going to happen next. I was hoked and on the edge of my seat to know what and how Tink and the noodles were going to do next and figure out everything. Amazing read and can’t wait for the next one.

This was a really emotive read. The author does a great job with the characters. While the subject matter is a bit hard to read the author handles the subject in a way that is respectful but allows the reader and insight in the thoughts and feelings of the people involved and the repercussions of the incident that took place. This story is fast paced and has turns in I didn’t see coming.

When Ben finds a young girl at a party, naked and very drunk he is horrified to discover that in her drunken state there was guys taking advantage of her. Unsure of what to do to help her being in a drunken state himself he locks the bedroom door to stop anyone else entering the room.
Since that night Ben has been terrorised with images about that young woman. Did she consent to what was happening to her? Was she even aware of what was going on? And if she wasn’t aware or didnt consent does that mean his best friend is a rapist?
This story is seen through the eyes of a privileged young man with the world at his feet and feeling untouchable with his friends. After what happened with Claire his world starts to unravel as the guilt of what he had witnessed starts to eat away at him.
This book is very emotional and the writers writing will make you feel every emotion that Ben is going through. All the anger, angst and guilt really jumps off the pages at you.

First, know going in that, as mentioned in the book description, this is not a sweet romance. There are no specific content warnings listed, but this story deals with some heavy subject matter and some on-page scenes that may be difficult for some readers.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this story, but in just a few pages, I was hooked. It didn’t feel like the usual MC tale, but the world-building is great. The characters have good dimension. The story has suspense, danger, and romance. Even though I had it figured out shortly into the book, I enjoyed that there was a good story line with the romance. The one thing I didn’t care for was how some of the guys don’t view the women’s MC as a true club.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. Looking forward to the next book.

I started this book , finished it and then took a few days and read 2 others on between and then re read it ! Why ? My mind was so absorbed with the cruelty of Jaclyn’s kids that I couldn’t give an honest opinion of the story as a whole , I know , I’m strange but it is what is , right ?!🤷‍♀️🙈🤣📚❣️

Jacklyn and her husband are celebrating their anniversary and he literally drops dead ! Everyone grieves in a different way and my heart aches for Jaclyn and I think it’s because I’ve experienced loss and it feels like your heart is outside your body and you’re just this shell so when she has a mental breakdown I just want to hug and tell her it’s going to be on and help her through it but I kept telling the empath side of me to stop 🙈 then her it’s decide she needs a retreat and my shackles went up 🤬

While I was mad the kids I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Rose to a degree because she’s got enough on her plate as it is and it seems Dusty has altering motives and doesn’t want to be saddled with the burden of his mother 🤬 and he’s pulling the wool over Roses eyes

I felt murderous as n Jaclyn’s behalf when she realised that her retreat wasn’t what it was made out to be and man this woman has a fighting spirit despite the crippling heartache and that made me love her so much more !

A brilliant read that had my emotions all over the place 😉

The Summer I Went Crazy is a thought provoking story that wrenches your gut. When a high school boy is witness to a rape at a party – one that his friends participated in… what does he do? How does he rectify that act within his own heart and mind? The story is hard to swallow because the content is so real – things like this happen more often than we like. The characters in the story hook you in- I could feel their angst and I just wanted to help. This is an emotional read, one I was hooked into right from the first pages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It all starts in high school, the last year of high school to be exact and the unforgettable summer which came along with it. The first thing you need to know is that I liked to party, get drunk, get high and forget the trials and tribulations which went along with a prep school education, summers in Europe, hobnobbing with the elite, a future in an IVY league college and following in your families footsteps, being a high flyer and successful.

One party in particular that summer stands out, well two in all honesty, the first where I got way too wasted and witnessed a rape, albeit at the time, I wasn’t sure that it even was, the second was where I was abandoned by a friend in the middle of nowhere, at night and off my head, but those two parties changed everything and not in the same ways.

They both led me to girls, the first one I wanted to help and protect and the second led me to a girl I fell head over heels in love with, we broke laws, spent time in nature and she taught me why I needed to change my direction in life, it began with a phone call and it ended in a promise, now, the time has come to make another a phone call, a phone call to someone I haven’t spoken to in years and who were close, but now are strangers, but will they answer and listen to what I have to say, only time will tell? This is a story of summer love, transition, responsibility and growth, which is told through the eyes of a teenager whose expectations do not equal reality, but told with a supernatural tint which engages you with the story even more.

By: Laura Koerber

Let me start out by stating that this book contains a trigger warning as it contains and focuses on rape. I have to say that this is a very well written book and it tackles the subject of guilt very well. This book definitely made me feel so many emotions, to the point where I was crying at various points throughout. This is something that I think is a very well written mark. I think it took a good look at how the choices we make can live with us for years past when we make the choice. I definitely recommend this, especially for those who love books that feature growth in their characters!

The first thing I have to say is The Summer I Went Crazy is not for everyone. There are some situations and topics that can be triggering for some readers. Now that we covered that part I have to say that this is a well written story. This is a book full of twists that will keep you on your toes. It was almost impossible to put down. The story is so well written that many times I was so angry at situations and wanted to throw something at the characters because of how real it felt. I think this is definitely a great story if you are able to handle the hard topics at hand.

This was a good book. I would be interested to read Coyote Summer to see what the story is like with magical elements. This kind of book is one that makes you uncomfortable and tense because it is a topic that is so real. I found myself getting angry at the situation because of the real life aspect of it and I couldn’t imagine this happening to me or people I knew in my youth. I thought the characters were relatable and you could feel the pressure and angst they were feeling. It definitely fits in the genre of its kind.
