My Bookish Life

The Enigma. Another book by Jodie Ellen Malpas that absolutely made me fell in love with the main characters, the story and the music in it and book two in the Unlawful Men Serie s. Never fight the bond. Here's the official synopsis: A fatal blend of revenge and desire. After leaving her fiancé at the altar and quitting her job as a Miami cop, Beau Hayley stumbles through life, feeling only resentment. Injustice. Loss. Her mom’s death was called an accident. She’s not convinced. Grieving, she becomes numb to everything except the constant, biting pain of heartbreak and hate. She can see no light. Until she meets James Kelly, a man who seems as damaged as she is, inside and out. And yet despite his twisted, cold façade, he stimulates feelings. Pleasure. He is a respite from her own flaws. A complete mystery. And impossible to resist. James Kelly has only one objective. Find the men who murdered his family and kill them all very slowly. But the web of crime and deceit leads h...

Once more this book is one I purchased ages ago in Summer, I think, and I didn't come around to read it because I got distracted by some many other beautiful and amazing books. I got physiotherapy regularly again and somehow picked this one up since I didn't want to continue ' Song of Achilles' because of the pain it inflicts right now. I started it and with going back to work after my holiday and being quite busy, I barely read it at first. But 'A Touch of Darkness' gripped me right from the first page!

Last night I finished all of it and it left me emotional, raw, in love and crying.  Here's the official synopsis to book one in a series I yet have to devour: Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled ...

Two days ago I finished this marvelous book.  Two days ago I finished Fable by Adrienne Young. “My father had always told me that seabirds were the souls of lost traders. To turn them away or not give them a place to land or nest was bad luck.” I brought this ages ago because I heard so many good things about it. Well I read something else entirely and was just sick of this and grabbed something different. My choice was Fable . And it manged to pull me out of my reading slump I was stuck in for weeks now. “Nothing was what it seemed. Every truth was twisted. Every lie carefully constructed.” The story starts at Jeval - an island with smugglers and thieves - and 17 year old Fable who stranded there four years ago. Stranded there after her father - famous trader - Saint, left here there because "she wasn't made for this life". The life at sea. But Fable does everything  to survive and go back to her father to prove him wrong. To claim a spot at his side.  She trades wit...
