I open my mouth to respond, but he speaks again before I’m able. “What do you know about being a BrayGirl ?” When Royce claimed Brielle I was like "YES", I was so happy that he finally, FINALLY gave us his story.īreak Me was one titillating, sexy and charming story that had me on fire!! There was no one else for either one that could understand them for who or what they were. Royce and Brielle were made for each other. Brielle won my heart for being such a great woman, she might have suffered as a child growing up and even in her teens but she didn't let that deter her and she found that being sad and mad wasn't going to get her anywhere so she made the best of it. When Brielle came galloping into his life, he didn't expect her to also win his heart, something he never thought he could give to anyone, let alone earn it.īut there's so much to Royce and Brielle seems to be the only one who see's it. He's the one who thought that he didn't need anyone in his life like Maddoc and Captain but boy was he wrong. Something about Royce was just so intriguing and I couldn't wait to get his story. Royce was my most anticipated read of the Brayshaws even though I loved Captain. We got Maddoc and then we got Captain and now we get our sexy, charming and witty as all hell, Royce Brayshaw. I'm so sad we get to finally have the conclusion to these beautiful, tortured Brayshaw men.

This epic young adult series is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like The Fifth Wave series by Rick Yancey, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. But could it be a trap? Time is running out, and the only thing they know for certain is that they have to get to Five before the Mogs do.

The fourth book of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series! And for the first time in-well, forever, really-Ingrid is also busy in love. Now Freya doesn't know who to believe or trust. Or can he? Freddie blames no other than her fianc Killian for his downfall, and enlists Freya's help to prove it. When Freya's twin brother, Freddie, suddenly returns, escaped from Limbo and professing innocence on a long-ago crime, Freya should be ecstatic. That is, until everything gets turned upside down-from Joanna's organized kitchen to Ingrid's previously nonexistent love life to Freya's once unshakeable faith in her sexy soul mate, Killian Gardiner. With the centuries-old restriction against practicing magic lifted, casting spells, mixing potions, and curing troubled souls has never felt so good for the three witches. Joanna and her daughters, bookish Ingrid and wild-child Freya, are just settling into the newfound peace that has been cast over their small, off-the map town of North Hampton. The intriguing Beauchamp family, introduced in the New York Times bestselling Witches of East End, returns in Serpent's Kiss, with dizzying plot twists and spellbinding magic. From the bestselling author of the Blue Bloods and The Descendants series comes the thrilling sequel to the Witches of East End. She’s sweet, shy, very innocent and it doesn’t take much to make her blush. Unsurprisingly, Iris is the total opposite of Dex. Can I also say that tattoos + men + me = (almost) guaranteed win? They’re kind of like my Achilles heel? Especially when they’re tall, brooding and totally inked (mega bonus points to Dex for owning his own parlor)! Although his attitude does soften as the story goes on (especially towards her), he’s unapologetically himself and while I can see how that can rub people the wrong way, I appreciated that about his character. Although Dex did grate on my nerves a little bit with his extremely volatile temper and asshole-ish behavior, I pretty much fell in lovelust with him at the same pace as Iris did. I can safely say that it’s absolutely always worth the wait and this one was no different. I don’t think there’s anyone who does slow burns as well as Zapata and it’s always so damn satisfying when the MCs finally get together. Under Locke was surprisingly not as much of a slow burn compared to her other books although compared to most other romances, it was still very much a slow burn. Although the Byzantine capital recovered enough of its former glory to entice Mehmet to its walls, even he felt tremendous disappointment, finding the city didn't live up to its reputation. The most destructive events came between 13, when earthquakes and the Black Death devastated the city, turning it into a forlorn series of villages. Before Mehmet's conquest, Constantinople had faced various unsuccessful sieges, and Crowley faithfully records them. In overwhelming detail and colorless prose, Crowley chronicles the story of an ancient city and its attraction to members of two major religions. According to Crowley, who works in publishing in England the Ottoman conquest of the city brought to an end centuries of conflict between the Byzantine Empire and Islam. On May 29, 1453, Ottoman forces, under the leadership of Mehmet II, concluded their long and bloody siege of Constantinople by storming the city and overtaking it. handles difficult and suggestive content with discretion and tact.balances dark and gritty topics and themes with hope, light, and redemption.doesn’t shy away from the dark side of humanity (i.e., reality).shows Christian characters facing struggles just like non-Christian characters.carries Christian themes loud and clear but never in-your-face or preachy.doesn’t have a Christian main character or a clear conversion scene.I applaud the author for boldly writing a beautiful, gripping work of Christian fiction that But the light didn’t go off until 2:00, after I skimmed the entire second half of the book. That’s enough for one night, I told myself as I crawled back into bed. I read the first half until after midnight, then sat and cried for the emotions that, like Jonah’s fish in the water, loomed larger and larger in the story before finally breaking the surface between fiction and reality. (Thankfully it wasn’t three days and three nights before I returned to dry land, only 24 hours.) I started reading on my way to bed, and next thing I knew I was trapped inside the story like Jonah inside the belly of the fish. I didn’t devour this book, this book devoured me.
