The third and last part of The facilitator trilogy brings more on the table that I thought I knew. There’s not even a boring moment when life settles down with these two and you think they will carry on with their happily ever after after reading the second book.
I loved this one much more, because it’s very rare that we get to read books after they get married and I loved how the author has brought up a new challenge for both of them to get over and tick it off that list.
If you’re looking for a great steamy romance story, check this trilogy out and you won’t be disappointed.

The Vatican secret is the second book in the series that I found interesting especially for the setting of it. 

There are so many buildings and places in the world that are exposed to violence and there’s so much behind the scenes that we won’t see, but can only imagine how everything works to protect them. 

In this fiction book, we get to read more about our priest and what happens exactly where the first book left. 

More spies are discovered, more suspenseful moments and new interesting characters are added, all of them making this book a never-ending fast-paced action that I just couldn’t stop reading. 

If you enjoy an intricate plot and a great thriller, check out this series.

Missing pieces by Tim Waver is a wonderful suspenseful book. I haven’t read any of the author’s books before and this one made me look up some of his back catalogue because the writing and plot twists just kept me intrigued throughout the story.
Told in two timelines, before and now, the chapters alternate between Rebekah’s life and her brother’s before traveling to the isolated island and while she is trying to survive the hunting. There are so many moments where I really felt her fear but also her strength for caring on to go back home safe and be with her daughters.
With unpredictable turns and great twists, the story is a must read for every suspenseful books lovers.

What a hilarious story! I loved how the author portrayed Birdy , our main character . A young woman who’s life is in a great mess and gets worse with each attempt to make it better. Think Bridget Jones type and you’re al set up for a great few hours of reading.
I laughed so hard at some of her antics and some side characters have made up for some perfect encounters especially the wine tasting ones.
Perfect for any light reading with a glass or wine next to you and the fact that’s it’s made into a tv series it makes it even more a must read story.

This trilogy gets better and better with each new instalment. It’s darker and more raw, heartbreaking in parts and steamy as you can expect but also holds that magical moments between the Beauty and the Beast and their wholeheartedly trust is challenged beyond repair.
I can’t wait to read the third and last book because I need that happily ever after for them.

Audiobook 4.5 stars


I can’t believe it’s been a bit over 2 years since I’ve discovered Repeat and started my way through the author’s books and also falling in love with the couples and their romance stories.
Slow burn, real feelings and such a lovable hero, probably my favourite in a long time
The narrators are amazing as always and they really make it a great experience overall.

3.5 stars audiobook
Nice romance story overall and great narrator that made the listening entertaining and relaxing.
I wasn’t sold on the chemistry between the characters though and while I liked the hero, I just couldn’t connect with any of them.

I loved The flat share and The switch by the author.
The road trip packs a bit of a different story altogether ,for me at least.
Great and intriguing characters, each one with their quirks and close proximity will definitely bring out more than they want to let other see, the story overall was a different touch of a young couple that has lots to take in. From the daily challenges of pressure from their work and life style, to the couple ones and especially some unexpected turns.
It’s another must read story from a favourite author but , one that for personal reasons, I can’t say that I loved but enjoyed nevertheless.

This book is just amazing.
I don’t read many historical fiction books because I find myself a bit lost in that time as I wasn’t a big fan of history in my school time but I was born and raised in an easter European country and the setting for this story is very close from home, and the description made me want to give it a try and read it. I can’t even explain how much I love it.
The research for it is just perfect to the smallest things and I could feel and vision all the settings while reading, it brought so many childhood memories, so many stories that my grandfather used to tell me from the after the second war and even now, my father remembers parts of the life from those years.
The dialogue and every interaction from the story are so reliable for those times, they all were so wary about everything and everyone as you couldn’t trust anyone, you didn’t know if a family member or friend was your ally or your enemies.
Even from the first paragraph, the author sets the story on the high-quality mystery and crime thrillers, it’s dark and whimsical in many ways but it also has moments of humanity when our hero is transported so many times in his early years and all the events he thought he left behind.
I find the music addition in this story just brilliant because, in my opinion, it makes the whole book more interesting and original.
There are many questions and secrets to be unveiled but I’m here for all of them.

DC Maggie Jamison is a great heroine that has a lot to go through while solving crimes and dealing with personal issues. 

For as meticulous and rewarding as her job is, there’s always something new to discover and unveil in the cases she has to find what happened with the victims or criminals. 

Having to face a new challenge, won’t stop her to enjoy her personal love life and I’m so happy that the author has included parts of it in here because I’m always intrigued by strong characters and what’s happening behind the curtains and after the working hours. 

I knew the journalist would be trouble for her cases, and it proves that I was right. The disappearances had all been for an unexpected reason for me and that ending surely left me speechless and with so many questions and willingness to read the next books as soon as they become available. 

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley
