This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a young adult science fiction story that has a little twist of mystery to it. This is a well developed story that is engaging and keeps me turning pages. The characters made the story feel realistic. Lucy has learned to be a mindhack. The problem is she deletes everyone’s minds including her boyfriends. Now there is a mindhacker who is after her but he does this for profit so it up the stakes some. Will he find Lucy and delete her memories? This is a really great story that has some twists and turns you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.
Princess Misty Miles of Starrytown has a disability but other than that she’s just like everyone else. Because of her disability, she’s been hidden away for 21 years for her parent’s fear that she’d be seen as weak. Misty knows that even with this disability, she can reign her kingdom. Prince Derrick Dennison of Mooncrest is a dancer but Misty isn’t accessible to Derrick because of a family feud between the two families. Their kingdoms are broken down the middle and Misty has to do more to step up. At a price, a troll grants her wish for a price but she has to save a disabled little girl from finding a forever family. This book is a contemporary fairytale as it takes you down an action-packed adventure. It’s witty, funny, full of romance, wonderful characters and is completely entertaining! I love this story of acceptance, love and triumph.

The story Deleted by Ruth Mitchell is an interesting and entertaining book to read. It is a story that pulls you in from the start and doesn’t let you go until the final page. It is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Lucy. She is a girl who finds herself deleted from the memory of those around her. What does the future hold for Lucy? Read this book to find out. This story had me on the edge of my seat. Reading about Lucy and what she goes through had me thinking about what would happen if lives and memories could be rewritten. The book is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. Besides Lucy there are other characters that I enjoyed reading about. They interact with Lucy and each has their part to play. This is a story that will hook you in and you won’t want to put it down. I highly recommend reading it.

Three things happen when technophobe Lucy learns to mindhack: her brilliant crush becomes her boyfriend, they solve small crimes, she’s deleted from his memory—and everyone else’s.
Now the only person looking for the college freshman is a mysterious young hacker who erases memories for profit. If he finds her, he will wipe out her memories—or worse. If Lucy doesn’t find him and stop him, no one will know that minds can be hacked and lives rewritten.
Ruth grew up in Salt Lake City writing plays for the neighborhood kids and “exploring” the woods near her home. She met her husband, Bill, on her first day of school at the University of Utah where she graduated with a degree in journalism. She worked as a reporter for the Deseret News before they moved their young family to Texas for Bill’s medical training. After three years in Dallas, they relocated to San Diego, welcomed their fourth child and put down roots. Ruth enjoys long rambling conversations, baking (she makes the best pies), party-planning, road trips and running (slowly) along the coasts and canyons of Southern California
Just The Way You Are is a charming fantasy story by Allison M. Boot. It follows the beautiful, adventurous princess Misty Miles as she attempts to escape from the tower her parents have been keeping her hidden away in for the 21 years of her life so far, and find the prince she knows she is destined to be with. Misty has a physical disability which means she relies on a wheelchair to get around, and is always accompanied by her spritely service dog Dex. A wish-granting troll enables her to walk and dance for three days – just long enough to find Prince Derrick and for the two to fall in love – but the troll neglects to mention the darker consequences of the wish. As well as fighting a troll, Misty and Derrick must overcome the longstanding rivalry between their two families, which divided the once unified kingdom in two. The pair have a lot to do, and it’s a good thing that they are both very diplomatic and confident. This is an enchanting story. I loved the descriptions of food and clothes, as well as the magical dance scenes. It’s a wonderful fairytale for modern readers. For me, it’s a five-star read and I would definitely recommend it to teenagers and young adults who enjoy stories with princesses, magic and cute animals.

Boot – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This is my first book by Allison M. Boot. I appreciated what this book was trying to convey. More positive representation of disabilities in the media is a good thing. The main female character is – Misty Miles, a princess living in a kingdom called Starryton, which exists in an anachronistic universe that contains monarchies, movie theaters, phonographs, and trolls. She’s in love with our male main character Prince Derrick of Mooncrest. It was an interesting telling of the tragic love that needs magic to make it happen.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot, is a great book for young people. It’s a great book for any young person especially a young person that may be handicapped. Misty is such a compelling heroine. Stubborn, fearless, and tenacious. It’s a great story about you never know till you try. Good advice for any person. Just try. It was kind of a mental trap for me because my mind kept trying to put the story in a Medieval setting, but clearly it’s not but then I realized any young person reading this story will have no problem wrapping their mind around it. Just the right amount of good clean romance. This book is worth your time.

Just The Way You Are by Allison M. Lewis was a great modern day fairytale! I felt like I was being transported back in time as a little girl reading some of my favorite fairy tales in this story. This mostly reminded me of The Little Mermaid in the first half of the book, and then changed into its own story in the second half. It was well written, with great characters and a great storyline. I laughed, I cried, I felt like I was right there in between the pages with both Misty and Derrick. I can’t wait to read more from Lewis!

Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill. I recommend reading these in order as this one continues from the first. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by my love for this story because this isn’t my normal reading but this author really has a gem of a story here. It’s got a little bit of everything I’d like in a story and it’s very original and unique. This story had a way of coming alive right before my eyes be even the smallest details are so well written you picture everything happening as you read. The characters pulled me in completely and I was definitely a bit say when I reached the end. It’s a well written story that’s paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer because if it’s as good as these I know I’m in for a good story. Four big stars and highly recommended!

This is an amazing fairytale story with a difference. The difference is the princess has a disability. It is amazing written and is a story which puts the message across that no disability should stop you following your dreams.
Misty is a princess, she longs to see the world and meet her prince charming like every other princess. However, her parents keep her locked up for her own protection because she has a disability. Misty is tired of being stuck in so she leaves and after striking a deal she goes to meet her prince charming.
Derrick is prince of the neighbouring region. He meets Misty and falls in love with her. Even when he finds out about her disability he still loves her and wants to be with her. The only problem is their parents have been enemies for years.
Can this couple’s love overcome all the anger and bring their parents together? Can they actually become a happy family?

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot a sweet cute five-star read. This was my first story by this author, and I am sure it won’t be my last, I adored this story. This was a great story for me at the moment as we are all struggling to deal with different things and this shows us that you no matter what life gives you, you can always fight back and overcome. Misty was someone who was easy to like and easy to see why she would make a great princess she was also easy to relate to despite her disability, overall this was a great story and one that will make you feel like dreams come true.

5 Star Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill
Arrows Tipped with Honey is the second book in the Natural Forces series by Jean Gill. First off I was absolutely fascinated with the cover . This story is very intriguing and one that once you start you won’t want to put it down till you finish. Mielitta ,Queen of the Warrior Bees is . faced with breaking the barrier between Forest and Citadel. Mage is leading a double life while trying to stay loyal to Mielitta and being a spy for Citadel. He has a lot on inner conflicts and doubts but also danger and the possibility of being discovered. These two kept me intrigued and turning the pages I had to know what was going to happen next. Find out what happens next with these two in the must read. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill was a great fantasy read. This is the second book in the series, I did jump into the second book without reading the first and was able to follow along. I loved the plot and the story as it developed. The story was super descriptive and it really helped me dive into the world head first. I have so many questions on what happens next that I cannot wait for the next book.

While I could follow the story line as I began reading Arrows Tipped with Honey, I had so many questions about Mielitta’s character and what caused the current status at the beginning of the book. As a result, I quickly grabbed the first book (Queen of the Warrior Bees) in this series and dived into this world. I am glad I did. I found the character and “universe” development from the first book to provide a deeper appreciation and understanding of what was transpiring in Arrows Tipped with Honey. Throughout Arrows Tipped with Honey, the author did a superb job at developing the characters further and making them so complex that you feel you are right there with them in the midst of the action. While many questions you had from the first book are answered in this book, Arrows Tipped with Honey gives you many more questions and leaves you begging for another book to follow. You must grab Queen of the Warrior Bees (Book 1) and Arrows Tipped with Honey (Book 2) today (with a cup of coffee) and plan to not leave your reading spot for a long while.

I must start with the fact this is a continuation of a previously started series, The Natural Forces books from Jean Gill. I think it helps a lot to read the first book as it is the next chapter in Mielitta’s life but it is possible to enjoy the book on its own probably. I love how Jean Gill writes, it is somewhat poetic and the flow is one that transports you to a whole new world with an endless amount of possibilities for magic and adventure. I often feel as If I am on an escapade and far away when I read Gill’s works. This book did the same and flowed perfectly. I loved reading about where Mielitta goes and her adventures in the Forest once she breaks through. Love becomes a factor that Mielitta must work her way through the complicated feelings that come from that. I loved the way things never felt forced or over explained, something that I tend to struggle with when reading the dystopian novels. I cannot wait to see what we will get next from the talented Jean Gill!

This is the second book in the Natural Forces collection. I read book 1 as well, and my opinion is you need to read them in order, they are not standalones. Arrows tipped starts right where we left off from book 1. I love this series and Jean Gill as an author. This book is different in the way she wrote the first as it focuses on more than just Mielitta. Kermon is front and center this time around, and Jean did an amazing job with his character. Part of the synopsis says “Trapped in a society he loathes and fears, Mage Smith Kermon’s mission becomes a test of survival. Can he remain loyal to Mielitta in the double life he leads as her spy in the Citadel? He is quickly embroiled in deceit and subterfuge, forcing him into actions that make him doubt himself and everything he values.” Worded perfectly and a wonderful read.

Arrows Tipped with Honey is the exciting second book in Jean Gill’s Natural Forces series. It is a fantasy series, with a heroine who has a magical connection with bees and is seeking to overcome a corrupt city that shuns all connections with the natural world. Following the climactic battle of the previous book, the Citadel believe they are victorious. Sure, the Queen of the Warrior Bees has made some demands of them when they forged their peace treaty, but they have their children back and are able to return to life as normal. But the Queen, Mielitta, is playing a long game. With a spy inside the city, and a generation of children who have seen the forest and tasted the honey, Mielitta hopes she can change things for the better. Already in the first book, this was a really well developed fantasy world. The rules of the Citadel are clear, and the secrets it hides intriguing. There is a contrast between the strictly ordered Citadel and the wild forest which can seem cliché, but contributes to the power of the story. There is a depth to the characters, particularly coming into the second book as they adapt to their new roles and relationships. For me, this is a five star book. It’s a great fantasy series for young adults who are concerned about the environment. Readers should start with the first book, Queen of the Warrior Bees, as the story in the second book follows on from the events of the previous book.

This is the fifth book in the Italian saga, and can be a standalone read, but I have loved following Leda as she’s grown up. I love the setting in landscapes of Italy, including Milan, Padua, and Garda Lake, but I also love the introduction of new and old characters and how Leda’s relationships with them are still so complicated, even as she starts her biotechnology major in college. I related to Leda so much in this book, being an undergrad university student myself. Leda is such a layered female character who’s learning about life and love as she goes along. There’s some gorgeous writing in this one. I enjoyed this more than previous books in this series.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot is a fairytale like story that delves into the world of disabilities. It is nice to see an author use something that isn’t always talked about as a main storyline. The way this author handled the topic was in a sensitive and compassionate manner. I did think at times though because of her focus on the main character being disabled it did leave some things lacking in the writing. Parts felt rushed and other parts felt like it was stuck together a little awkwardly. However I did enjoy the characters overall and I liked that the author was trying to achieve. This was a fun, easy to read book and a great way to while away an afternoon.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot is a magical fantasy story that is wonderful and tells the tale of a young princess with a disability that doesn’t stop her. It is a sweet adventure as we journey along with her and her love. This story is well written, and the characters are likable. Allison’s words give us a vivid view of the world she has created. This story is not one to be missed.

Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill
This book took me on an intriguing adventure. This is the second book in this series and it is my suggestion that these books be read in order for better understanding and enjoyment. I was pulled into this story from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. There is suspense, danger, and wonderful characters in this wonderfully told story. The author did an exceptional job making me feel like I’m going along for the adventure because it was written with vivid detail and the emotions were jumping off the pages. I was left with the questions that I’m hoping will be answered in the next book. I cannot wait to read the next one. I recommend reading this book.

Arrows Tipped With Honey is the second book in the Natural Forces series. I was captured by the title and blurb and didn’t realize that this was part of a series at first. You will definitely want to read the first book before you read this one!
This story has a solid blend of fantasy, action, intrigue, danger, and romance. It also has a bit of a dystopian feel to it with the nature vs. civilization components. I enjoyed the unique characters and the amazing world that the author built for them.
Arrows Tipped With Honey was not a “quick” read for me. It has a lot of layers so you will want to take your time with it. You definitely don’t want to pass up a chance to read this series!

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness is the first book in the Italian College series, part of Gaia B. Amman’s The Italian Saga. The saga follows Leda from childhood to adulthood, through relationships and friendships, studies and travels as she grows up. In Finding Leda, we see Leda starting college to study Biotech. Determined to move on from a bad relationship, Leda welcomes a fresh start. Her social group at college is determined more by her carpool group and choice of seat on the first day than anything else, leading to an interesting mismatched group. She gets a blast from the past when she finds that Claudio, a boy she went to middle school with, is now two years ahead of her and, somehow, less evil than she remembered. In this series, I particularly like the characters who are always there, in the background. Boyfriends come and go, but people like Starry, Leda’s mum, and Lexi, her best friend, are always ready to come back on the scene when Leda needs them. It’s interesting seeing their relationships develop. Another thing I particularly like in this book is seeing Leda muddling her way through the sciences, as someone who had previously mostly studied literature. Having already read some of the later books, when Leda seems pretty confident as a scientist, seeing her struggling to get to grips with a whole host of ideas and processes is interesting (and not just because I learnt a lot about science on the way!) For me, this is a four star book. I’m enjoying the series, and would recommend it to fans of coming-of-age stories that span a long duration (I feel like I bring up Adrian Mole every time I review one of Amman’s books but seriously, if you liked Adrian Mole and feel like Adrian could have been a bit more female and Italian, you’ll love this).

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman 4 Stars!!!!
This is the second book by this author I have read and I again was not able to put it down. This book moves on from high school and moves onto college. The author has a very unique way to bring the reader into the Leda’s world as it starts to evolve. I really liked how the author was able to make this story realistic.
Leda really is such a great character and this book is a very good example of youth and how we all have to really find ourselves. There is so much of a mix of emotions and dramas happening to Leda. This makes her so realistic and makes it so one can see themselves within the character. This really is a continuance of a coming of age story. We all have to find ourselves and throughout our lives we might have to reconnect and find ourselves again. This story is just a great read and I will definitely read more from this author and this series.

Amman – Review by Caralee Loonat
Finding Leda is a fantastic young adult, coming-of-age story by Gaia B. Amman. Having read the 2 books which told of Leda Balni’s story in high school in 1990’s Italy, it was great to then catch up with Leda a few years later at college. To fully understand Leda and her past I’d suggest you read Forget Nico and Sex-O-S before reading this book. Having had a hard time at high school, being a bit different from her friends in that she was serious about studying and enjoyed literature, and also suffering from an eating disorder, it was great to see Leda still full of fight and spirit. I really enjoyed being taken on the journey that is the next few years of Leda’s life, this time at college. Having had poor experiences with men previously, Leda was not looking for love at college and yet she found it in a place she would never have thought. Her adversary from school who she referred to as Evil Centi is at the same university (only he is 2 years ahead) and when he offers to help her with Chemistry, let’s just say that chemistry of a different type starts to flow. If you enjoy great story with a good deal of angst thrown in then I’m sure you would love to read Leda’s story. I for one look forward to seeing what Leda gets up to next.

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness is book 1 in the Italian College series by Gaia B Amman which is a young adult story. This follows Leda in her college years, and it will put you on an emotional rollercoaster. She does not have time for romance but then Sergio comes back around, what will happen between these two characters? I love these books since I started reading this series, I can’t wait to read more. They are entertaining and will hook you into the story from the first few pages . You cannot go wrong reading this book!

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman
I absolutely loved reading this book. In this book Leda is in college and trying to find out what truly makes her happy. She is trying new things and is making sure she keeps up with her studies. Sergio has come back into the picture and Leda is trying to find balance so she doesn’t lose herself, what will happen if anything between these two? The things that her and her friends go through at this age is very relatable and I couldn’t help but be pulled into this story. The author’s writing is exceptional and keeps me wanting more. I have loved every book that I have read by this author and this one is no different. I had a very hard time putting this book down because I needed to know what was going to happen. I have enjoyed watching Leda grow up and all the people that have come and gone from her life. I can’t wait to read the next one. I highly recommend this book

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman. Let me start with you can read this as a stand-alone but I highly recommend previous books to get a much fuller picture. One of my favorite things about this set of books by this author is we’ve followed Leda through so many stages of life. Each one brings her to new challenges and I’ve enjoyed watch this character grow. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story that keeps you wanting more and coming back to make sure you don’t miss a bit. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m definitely looking forward to even more. Four stars and highly recommended.

Finding Leda by Gaia B. Amman was a great story! This one has probably so far been my favorite story about Leda I’ve read so far! It had a great story line, great characters, and some great imagery and quotes! I immensely enjoyed reading this one. I feel like Leda is finally starting to find herself a little bit more in this novel. I highly recommend this novel! I would definitely recommend starting this series from the beginning though!

Finding Leda; the Science of Happiness (Italian College Novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman
5-Stars
Finding Leda; the Science of Happiness (Italian College Novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman was an excellent book! I thoroughly enjoyed following Leda as she moved into her years in college. It took ne back to my own college days! I loved seeing g her character blossom in this novel after so much happened with her in the last. I felt that she discovered more about herself than she realized was there in this book. I also found the description of college during that time fascinating. I remember my mom taking classes along a similar schedule but things are so different these days on college campuses. Leda truly is amazing and I absolutely love her character. This is easily a 5-star novel.
