Review: 
ape Haven is a small town in California, where Police Chief Walk is not only trying to keep his small town safe but also he carries a heavy burden on his heart. He carries the guilt of long ago when he turned in his best friend, Vincent for accidentally killing a girl when he was 15 sending him to prison.
Then we have Dutchess who is a 13 year old girl who has seen and dealt with much more responsibility that any one 13 year old girl should have.
When Vincent King is released from prison, Walk is hopeful for him to still be the same guy he was before he went into prison and he is hoping for a new beginning for him. However his hopes are short lived when he is found at Star's house with her blood on him and she is found with a hole in her chest.
Dutchess, a self proclaimed outlaw,  after lighting a club on fire she stole some money for her mother to go to the convenience store to get the stuff for her brother's birthday returned to her home with her life shattered into pieces when her mother Star was killed.
Starting a new journey for Dutchess and her brother Robin as they move onto a farm with her mothers father her grandfather and a new journey for Walk as he and his old flame try thier hardest to try to prove that Vincent King is innocent of murder as well as try to find out who actually killed Star all along with trying to keep Dutchess and Robin safe from the club owner trying to find Dutchess to solve his issues as well.
Now, I read this book first and then I listened to the Audiobook. The Audiobook is amazing, the narrator is amazing and keeps your attention while he is reading the story. Definitely Recommend to anyone if you like audiobooks!
Now, this story is AMAZING. Dutchess is a very guarded person and she tries her hardest to keep up her guard but there are a few people that wiggle their way through and its amazing. I sympathize with her a lot because she keeps getting knocked down time after time and her world is turned upside down on her over and over and she still continues. I love her determination and her perseverance. Walk is dealt a very difficult hand, and while he carries his own burdens he continues to work towards his goals and trying to solve the mystery and get the case together to try and save Vincent. But, not everyone wants to be saved.
This is a book that will pull on your heart strings and make you cry but it is soo good! I would love to see this one made into a movie or sometime along that lines it is sooo freaking GOOD! I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Kristen Hannah books, the feel for the story is similar to hers that I have read!

Title: His Secret Starlight Baby  Author: Michelle Major Expected Publication: February 23, 2021 Publisher: Harlequin Special Edition  Genre: Romance  Pages: 224 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  It's soo cute and I loved it! Cory has a secret, a secret that her grandmother's dying wish was for Cory to let her son meet his father. Jordan is a retired NFL player and he had a one night event with Cory and when she snuck out of his bed in the morning he went ahead and left Atlanta and started his new non-NFL life. So later when Cory goes to see Jordan he is surprised but not as surprised as he is when Cory tells him he has a son. So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral. Now, this game gets too serious when Cory starts to actually get feelings for Jordan and Jordan is too stubborn to tell Cory he has the same feelings. This is a cute quick read and I loved it and binged it in one night!

My Review of The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

Title: The Golden Couple  Author: Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: St. Martin's Press  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  OMG This is one that I was really enthusiastic to read because I have loved EVERYTHING that these two authors have written and just a little secret (they didn't let me down! I was glued to my kindle the last 40% of the book!) Marissa Bishop sought out Avery Chambers to help her with her marriage. Marissa had a fling and she wanted to tell her husband in a controlled environment, where she and he could work out their differences and heal their marriage. Avery is just the unorthodox therapist to do this, see she only takes clients that she can help in 10 visits because she has a system that works. So while they work through her program they can be in a different place than when they first came to see her. So, while it seems that the Bishops are getting through their

My Review of The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

Image
Title: The Shadow Man  Author: Helen Fields  Expected Publishing Date: Feb. 4, 2021 Published by: Avon Books UK  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages 400 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5  Review:  This is a different kind of thriller/horror book. An American profiler and psychologist is called in to help aid when a high profile abduction of Elspeth occurs after a murder of a similiar woman. Along with Detective Baarda she and he follow the abductions of a 12 year old child and of a parapalegic man. Trying to figure out the end game is all they can try to do and the twist and the turns of the case is absolutely horrifying. Fergus abducts them all to try to create the family he never had, not long after his introduction the reader can realize that he is not only physically but also mentally sick. He is so sick and twisted it's not even funny. This book follows the investigation and also gives an insight into Fergus's mind, and what an adventure that was. I definitely recommend this b
