EXCERPT

His voice lowers with intent. “Know this, if you do run, I’ll slap a pair of ankle cuffs on you so fast you won’t have time to say my name. There’ll be no more playing nice. I’ll tie you to my bed if that’s what I have to do.” Cupping my jaw, he delivers the threat with a soft kiss on my lips. “The choice is yours.”
The heavy blow is dealt with tender words. They sift down like snowflakes to settle cold in my heart. I tremble as he pushes me down onto the hood and leans over me.
“What will it be, Cas?”
He’s not asking if I’m on board with this limited version of freedom. When he unbuttons my jeans, he’s asking a different question, and, as always, when he slips his hand into my underwear, he gets the truth.

My Review

Stolen Life by Charmaine Pauls
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Noooo! That ending! I can't get it out of my mind. I think about it at least once a day. Other than that I loved this book and can't wait to get the third book in the series.

This book picks up right where the first left off. Ian has finally caught up with her and is taking an unconscious Cas back with him.

That's all I'll say for now. I recommend starting with the first book in this series otherwise you might feel a little lost. Go read it!

Thanks to Give Me Books Promotion, and the author for this ARC to review.

Working on review.

Review: The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham

source The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham My rating: 5 of 5 stars I knew this book would deal with some heavy topics. I never expected it to leave me in tears. Once I finish a book I can usually dive right into the next without a problem. But this one haunted me. I knew it was fiction but knowing that these types of things happened in the past weighed on me as I read. Winny is ninety-seven years old, living with her granddaughter and great-grandson Jamie, the spitting image of her late husband. An old wooden trunk has them asking questions when it's contents tumble out. It's part of Winny's painful past she longed to forget. And when they ask her about the family tree she starts her story at what brought her to Canada. The book is told in parts each one starting in present day. Then the chapters move to the past told from Winny's point of view and switch back and forth to Jack's point of view. They are indentured servants who were told that they wer
