Review – Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

Forbidden is just what its name implies. The synopsis describes it well. It’s a story of a brother and a sister who have lived through so much together that they feel that they only have each other to turn to – and much to their own horror, they start to turn to each other in a romantic way. You will be shocked and horrified at times throughout this book. You will be torn apart by […]

Review – Sleepless by Tracey Ward

Sleepless was such an incredibly enjoyable book! I was completely swept away by the romance between Alex and Nick and I thought that the concept for the story was really fresh and unique! The story follows 20-year-old Alex. Alex has a problem. She “Slips” in her sleep. She often falls asleep, safe in her bed, and wakes up somewhere else – it could be anywhere. While she’s learned coping mechanisms, Slipping is far from convenient. Alex […]
