Secret Beach Boyfriend in the newest installment from The Independence Island Series (book 3) and it did not disappoint! It can be read as a standalone. Kari Trumbo is a new to me author and I enjoyed her writing style. She brought more of the Merriweather Islands to life with great descriptions and new friends!
      I loved Annie and Rafe, their chemistry was fun, engaging, and well laid out. Kari Trumbo covered some tough topics with them and integrated them in a compelling and straightforward way. From a dysfunctional family to OCD I enjoyed the dynamics of the characters and the interesting plot. A great addition to The Independence Island Series.
    I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative characters, the emotional tugs, and for pointing the reader back to Christ.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

not really one for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I'm really not sure I liked this book, and mostly cos I did not get the ending, it made little sense to me!

It's a dark book, certainly. There is (but not detailed) reference to child abuse, both physical and sexual. It's there, you know? Ella talks about what happens to her, but we don't get it all. There is bloodshed, and a lot of it at the beginning and the end.

Only Ella has a say, so it made the perplexing ending a little more so. Daman is given a voice in the epilogue though.

Ella voice is strong though, and even what she went through, she manages to get her revenge.

What Ella does say is well written, and well delivered. I finished it, so for that reason. . .

3 stars

Weak 3 stars, if I'm being totally honest. Everything moved too fast. I didn't appreciate how quickly Jackson seemed to get over his anxiety, how relatively easy it was for him - in my opinion, that was nowhere near an accurate depiction of how someone overcomes or battles their anxiety. Granted, he experienced an almost-panic attack, but I still felt like it was dismissed too easily. Also, the build up was practically nonexistent. Harley keeps repeating that she's been "waiting so long" for everything that happens and the fact they barely know each other, yet she still feels this way, really grated on my nerves. The scene where her stalker "accidentally" hits the unlock button after slamming on his brakes made me roll my eyes. I feel like the story has potential; perhaps the next book is written better and in a way that doesn't make the characters boring, but I don't believe I'll be reading it.

Movie Rating Watch
"... I think it was called the bus that couldn't slow down"
That quote is, of course, from the incomparable Homer Simpson. Full quote something along the lines of:

"I saw this movie once about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping it's SPEED above 50, and if it's SPEED dropped below 50, it would blow up! I think it was called ..."

Which is a pretty accurate synopsis of the movie as a whole, which stars a post-Bill and Ted (apart for the newest one)/pre-The Matrix Keanu Reeves, and a very early appearance by the future queen of the rom-com Sandra Bullock.

The film has 3 main acts: terrorist attempt to blow up an elevator, the bus bit (which is most of the movie) and finishing off in the subway. Truth be told, it may perhaps run only slightly too long as a result.

Still well worth a watch, though!
