#Review ~~ Stealing Cinderella by A. Zavarelli

Rating: STEALING CINDERELLA by A. Zavarelli Release Date: April 2nd Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review Ashleigh Zavarelli brings us a “Cinderella” story with a dark twist. It is complete with a brooding prince and an evil stepmother. Stealing Cinderella is heart-stopping at times and filled with raw emotions. There is one scene in particular that comes to mind (no spoilers), where I was completely floored! I had to put the book down for a few minutes! Thorsen (Thor) is the Crown Prince of Norway and next in line to be King. He is so dark and demanding. Life has brought...

Rating: Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz Thomas Pitilli Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2RUADBm Alex’s 5 Star Review Before I talk about the plot of Gotham High I first want to mention the artwork. The cover is bright and eye-catching which is always great when looking for something to read. The interior art was beautiful and extremely detailed! De La Cruz and Pitilli did a great job adapting this story into a graphic novel. I have always been a fan of superheroes so I was super excited about this! Graphic novels are also a nice change of pace every now...

#FiveBlushReview ~~ The New Husband by D.J. Palmer

Rating: The New Husband by D.J. Palmer Louisa’s 5 Blush Review I am mainly a romance reader but there is one genre other than romance that intrigues me and it’s psychological thrillers and this book was exactly what I needed. A new to me author, DJ Palmer hit the nail on the head. The twists and turns were intriguing and had me hooked. Maggie was a pivotal character that I knew had some insight on Simon but there is no “proof” to back up her concerns. Her concerns that this new man in her mom’s life is the good man...

#Review ~~ You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Rating: You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle LOUISA’S 4.5 BLUSH REVIEW I love finding a new author and an original storyline. These two characters, Naomi and Nicholas are engaged to be married but the spark just isn’t there anymore. And neither wants to be the one to pull the trigger to end the engagement…bring on the silliness! This book had me laughing out loud at the antics and banter between these two. One minute they wanted to strangle each other and the next they almost couldn’t stop laughing at each other’s tricks to annoy the other! Their antics...

#BlogTour #FiveBlushRead ~~ Southern Storms by Brittainy C. Cherry

Rating: Even the town’s black sheep needed a friend sometimes Southern Storms, an all-new, small town second chance romance from Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now! Louisa’s 5 Blush Review Brittainy Cherry is a genius. She continues to write books that captivate me with her unique and intriguing characters and Jax and Kennedy fit that bill perfectly. He’s a “bad boy”, the town “asshole” and she’s a damaged/broken girl who’s relocated to be closer to her sister after a tragedy. How two people who you would never have seen helping each other together can heal each other is beautiful....
