“Hard To Fight” Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:
What I thought would be most interesting about this book was the strong female character role that Grace plays. You see, Grace is a bounty hunter who was never  taken seriously in her profession since she is a woman. Her friends, her colleagues and even her own family do not think she has what it takes to be in such a demanding career, but she’s determined to prove everyone wrong.
The minute she is given …

Bright Side Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:
If you’ve noticed 5+ star ratings are pretty far and in between on this blog. After reading “Bright Side” however there wasn’t any question why it needed to be added to that very short list.
I do have to admit however that it was very difficult for me to get into. The first third of the book was one long and boring introduction and at times I thought of giving up and reattempting to read it at a …

Black Lies Book Review/ Giveaway**

 
Liezel’s Thoughts:
Good grief! I don’t even know where to begin with this one… Maybe I should start out by saying that “Black Lies” has unexpectedly become one of my favorite reads so far this year.
I say “unexpectedly” because there were multiple instances that I was extremely frustrated with the heroine  – Layana . It was at the point where I didn’t expect to like this story that much because of her actions.
The beginning of her relationship with Brant was far …

Within These Walls Book Tour Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:
 
I’m one of those readers that normally breezes right through a book without hesitation. However, with “Within These Walls”  I had to pace myself throughout every single chapter . Having some experience with both Lailah and Jude’s predicament there was just no other way for me to get through this one without taking it  in tiny doses.
The amount of detail that J.L. Berg put into this book just made the entire thing heartrending. I can not even begin to tell …

The Intern, Volume 3 Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:
I’ve had  all of Brooke Cumberland’s books on my kindle forever but never got to reading her work until this morning. And after finishing the entire “The Intern” series all throughout the day I find myself sitting her baffled, thinking    “Why  did it take me this long to finally read her work?”  Ceci and Bentley’s story was just … all-consuming!
In the third book, Ceci leaves for college (for real this time). I expected her to be excited – beginning a …

Iris Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:
“Iris” occurs  two months after The Wild Side with Iris having disappeared from Dair’s life. Because of the physical nature of their relationship and the fact that it was also based of a numerous secrets and lies you would never think that Dair would  be so broken up about it but surprisingly he is. Even with his means without Iris his existence seems  so dull and monotonous.
He attempts to move on and somewhat reenters the social scene yet dating remains out of …

Out Of Breath Book Review/ Giveaway**

Liezel’s Thoughts:
As mentioned in the book synopsis, Emma leaves Weslyn and obviously Evan behind. As she had planned, she moves to Califonia for college and basically to start over.  I was hoping that she was able to somewhat move on she is doing anything but. She struggles every single day. She becomes this adrenaline seeking, careless and reckless young woman. Not only was she hurting herself but she was affecting those around her too. So rather than sympathazing …

Alpha Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:

First of I want to say that I absolutely love Jasinda Wilder’s work. Her books have always been among my top 3 picks when a friend asks for an indie romance recommendation. And I tried to love this book and give it a higher rating but there was this one very important element that was lacking.
The story in general was great. The plot was amazing and since we never find out until almost the …

Fighting to Forget Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:

 I do want to say that I absolutely loved the first 2 books of this series and was certain that I would be able to rate Fighting to Forget just as I did the first two but for some reason there was something lacking in this book.
In general, I thought that the story was fair. There were parts – especially the unexpected twist in the end that were terrific but there were elements that remained unsettling and some that …

Ruin Book Review

Liezel’s Thoughts:

It took me a bit to finally write this review because I felt a little torn about this story. There were so many elements that made it unbelievably amazing but there was this one important aspect that fell flat for me. So let me tell you the many  positives first…
For a coming of age series it had such a colossal amount of depth. The words before each chapter alone were quite moving and I couldn’t …
