Review of Be Careful What You Wish For by C. P. Santi

Feb 152016 by Roxy

Be Careful What You Wish For by C.P. Santi

Be Careful What You Wish left me feeling disconnected from the characters and bored at the obvious plot line. The story takes off when scientist, Ana Madrigal, is photographed speaking to celebrity, Ken Nakamura, after their luggage is accidentally switched at the airport. Media outlets soon run wild speculating about who the mystery woman is and how she is linked to Japan’s hottest celebrity. Ken’s recent breakup causes his manager to suggest … [Read more...]

Review of Songs of our Breakup by Jay E. Tria

Nov 92015 by Roxy

Songs of Our Breakup, by Jay E. Tria, was an interesting read. We all know that emotions and music go hand in hand, but the way this author combined the two into a book was incredible. At first it was a little difficult to follow the story because of the format of the book. It was done by days, instead of chapters. It was almost as if you were reading Jill’s diary! Jill and Kim are members of an indie band called Trainman, along with Son, … [Read more...]

Review of In Love With My Best Friend by Sheena Binkley

Oct 122015 by Roxy

In Love With My Best Friend, by Sheena Binkley, is a typical best friend to lover story. Trevor and Camille have been friends for seventeen years, since the day his family moved next door to hers. They have been best friends through high school, college and beyond. Trevor is engaged to marry Chelsea, whom he met when she was Camille’s college roommate. I say this story is a typical friend to lover story because as best friends Trevor and … [Read more...]

Review of Kindred: An American Love Story by P.J. Dean

Sep 232015 by Roxy

I discovered PJ Dean via Rivka Spicer's Diverse Books Month posts in August. It was my first time reading Ms. Dean's work, and I must say I absolutely loved it! Rarely, are there well-written interracial historicals with a Native American man and Black woman at the forefront. The premise is simple, but the weaving of the tale was well done. The historical references and research regarding Lelaheo's tribe was fantastic! I learned a great deal. … [Read more...]

Review of Seasoned with Grace by Nigeria Lockley

Aug 32015 by Roxy

Honestly, I did not know what to expect since this is the first book I’ve read by this author. Yet, I found myself hurrying home from work just to see what would happen next in the story. I really enjoyed and highly recommend Seasoned with Grace. Grace King, by all accounts, is a beautiful party girl model; her self-perceived righteousness seems to keep getting her in trouble time and time again. After a night of drinking and partying, the … [Read more...]

Review of Unexpected Valentines by Summerita Rhayne

Jul 82015 by Roxy

Unexpected Valentines, by Summerita Rhayne, was billed to be a collection of short stories “to make you believe in love”, but to me they are a collection of essays. This book includes seven “stories” in about 66 pages. While reading the book, written by an author from India, I found many of the stories to be unrealistic. I don’t mean because they were futuristic or built in some fantasy world, but because they contained events that seemed too … [Read more...]

Review of Worth the Risk by Stacy-Deanne

Apr 202015 by Roxy

Worth the Risk, by Stacy-Deane, is a short story that was actually heart breaking. But, yes it does have a happy ending. Madeline is a classical musician that when she plays she puts her whole body and spirit in to her music. She also has a secret. Alvin is a music critic that is so mesmerized by her music that he basically falls in love with her. Madeline’s secret keeps her from allowing herself to feel for Alvin, even though she wants … [Read more...]

Review of the Law of Moses by Amy Harmon

Apr 62015 by Roxy

The Law of Moses was an unusual read. This is going to be a challenging review to write because I don't wish to give away too much information to the reader. If you've read the synopsis, you're not exactly sure what to expect. I was intrigued, but I was uncertain as to what kind of ride I’d be in for. I knew it would be a heavy read but not much else. The story centers around Georgia Shepherd and Moses Wright. Georgia is your typical teen in … [Read more...]

Review of Is It Worth It by Dallacey E. Green

Mar 302015 by Roxy

This is Charlie and Jake’s story. This story is told from Jake’s perspective. Charlie and Jake have been married for six years and have two children. Like all marriages, theirs has hit a bump in the road. In order to be with Charlie, Jake had to give up his relationship with his own parents because they did not approve of him marrying a black woman. Charlie's parents are both dead.
