I honestly don’t even know how to review this book without spoilers because there’s so much going on here that can’t be discussed with revealing details.
The story talks about Teo sister that don’t have a “good” relationship because one turns out to be the bad sister and one is the good sister that has to run away and change her life completely after so many years of suffering all the injustices from her sister.
The parents play a big part here as they aren’t the normal kind of couple due to their job and the sisters are left more or less to find their own way into this life.
Nothing to suspenseful or twisted, quite predictable in many moments but a good story overall.

First book by the author and first book in a new series.
The story starts so well, and in a few paragraphs, it becomes so addictive that I couldn’t stop reading till the last page.
A terrible event in her teenage helps our heroine, Tori, becoming what she is today, a special agent working on children's disappearances cases.
Twenty years after her twin sister was abducted and her case became a cold one, a similar one arises and she receives a mysterious message that, of course, she can’t let it go without acting on it.
It’s an interesting story overall with fast-paced moments and interesting characters, with many twists and turns, some predictable, some unexpected, a story that sets up a must-read series for sure.
I will say though that I found some chapters unnecessary as nothing is happening there or it’s just about a daily life activity in anyone’s life that many times I don’t want to read and hence the lower star rating but it’s definitely a great book and I’m looking forward to the next ones in the series.
Very grateful to the publisher Bookotoure and Netgalley for my review copy

This is probably one of the most angsty books I’ve ever read so far.
I was looking forward to reading a book where some of my favourite couples had kids and their kids' story needed a voice as well and here it is: Kodiac and Lavander are the perfect couples ever, even more, perfect than their parents.
From Childhood friends to lovers to enemies to second chance romance, this story has it all that I was looking for in a book.
The angst, the heartbreaking moments that made me take a break, the laugh out loud ones that kept coming up at the right time in the story, the lifetime friendship and everything they need to get through, the growing up with demons that will probably never go away, the sacrifice for secret love, and so much more...
If you liked any of the author’s books before, you are going to fall in love with this story.

A gripping and addictive story from another new to me author.
It drew me into it from the first chapter and I had to read it all in one sitting because the twist and turns didn’t stop at all.
I found the storyline very interesting because it’s not very often when an author takes a chance into certain taboo topics and all the mysterious characters and the way they solved the crimes made up for a great few hours of reading.
Eleanor was a great female character that has many secrets on her own and many times, keeping secrets is not a good thing because everything can blow up and destroy the life you know. Catching the killer is definitely not an effortless task, but the author added so many layers to unveil into the story that is making this novel a must-read.
Police procedural details series that I’m sure many lovers of the genre will enjoy.

A story full of true love and how that love makes its way through a love song in the hearts of so many other couples.
This story is not a happily ever after but a beautifully written novel, with whimsical lyrics and it gets me thinking of so many other well romances. The true love and grief go hand in hand for half of the book as Arie learns how to live again without Diana.
There are way too many characters to keep up to for my liking and maybe because i was expecting a happily ever after story, i got a bit disappointed and hence the lower star rating.
A book that many romantics will enjoy, but unfortunately not a favourite for me.

First book in a new series that can easily be read as a stand alone.
I love to read about unusual jobs or out of the norm heroes or heroines, and this book has it all in spades.
A pretender indeed, Lady Gresham is a survivor that has gone through a lot in her life and will stop at nothing to live the life she wants.
Harry, an earl that hates loosing and doesn’t care much about the society rules, sets his mind in finding out who is the illusive woman that makes her money from frivolous games and learned speeches.
Full of suspense and great banter, this novel is a great historical romance with two characters that will go head first to stand their ground, but that ground is coming apart when love and lust make an appearance in their heart.

Same old mother of three kids, in her middle age, a teacher and an erotic novels author, that struggles to find a balance between all the assignments and daily routine in her life. I was expecting it to be more on the fun and light read but it actually doesn’t bring anything new for me and while some readers will enjoy it, it’s not a favourite for me.

Not your #lovestory is indeed a sweet love story about meet cute and how social media can influence the lives of the ones implicated in it.
There are much more deep feelings and discussions in here, much more than one is expecting and while the cover and blurb is setting up for an easy read, this is not the case.
The characters are well described and i enjoyed it overall but maybe i wanted a bit more from the actual romance and how that develops into something more steady and beautiful for the future.

Honeysuckle season is a beautiful woman fiction story about life and how some difficulties make you stronger to strive forward and find a better future.
The past and present chapters and storylines were a bit confusing at the beginning, but after a while everything made more sense and the way the author has interwoven them it just made up for a wonderful addictive novel.
Libby has gone through so much in her life and deserves a better future. When she gets a new job in her new way of starting a new life, she also finds out more about her inheritance that will help her build the future strong and caring woman inside her come out and live at its wholeness.

Winter nights in the Shakespear’s home where two love stories are perfectly told in a great few hours of reading.
It was my first book by the author and I enjoyed the characters and the overall love story, even if it’s the second book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone. It’s exactly as you would expect, not much angst or drama, just the perfect balance between the adult life struggles about carrier, family and friends to lovers ultimately.
It’s a light and beautiful novel that many romantics will enjoy.
