cant fault it!
I was gifted my copy of this book.
I said this at the end of my review for Up in Smoke. I take it back. I take it ALL back and switch to this one!!
To sum up, in case you didn't get it in the beginning, I bloody LOVED this book, and I loved it so much that I filed it on my Masterpiece shelf. Because I do think that this is quite possibly Ms Welch's best book so far!! (under either author name!!)
Ms Welch is the first author to find themselves on my Masterpiece shelf, with 2 books back-to-back! (There can be only one! so Up In Smoke has been disposed)
What this book is, right, is a master class in writing a book, about two men who do not see themselves as worthy of love. Romeo's pain is on full show, but he hides it. Julian's pain is deeper and he smoothers it so well, not even those who work with him can't see it.
But Julian sees Romeo, and Julian is smitten from that very first meeting. And Romeo? He digs his way under Julian's skin until he parks himself so deep, Julian won't never let him go.
The chemistry is scorching right from the start and it carries all the way through, but once they get that out the way, the emotions take over and this is heavy on the emotions for both men. Differently heavy, but still.
I loved that Romeo let Julian have his space, even after Romeo found himself homeless. Loved that Julian HATED that Romeo gave him the space he requested!
Loved the guys in the One-Thirteen could see Julian change after meeting Romeo, and loved that they loved that for Julian. The guys love their captain and they just want him to be happy.
What I loved most, though, was how little angst there was between these two, other than that needing space thing. Yes, there is the fact that Julian is dealing with the loss of a parent, and Romeo is dealing with homophobic parents, but between them? None, nothing at all and I just loved that!
I started reading this book for an hour before bed. I woke early, and couldn't sleep, so I jumped back in at 5am and finished the book at 630! And I cannot stress how much I loved it!
But now I'm sad. Cos it says at the end of this that there is only one, ONE more book for these guys and I don't want it to end!!
I've followed Ms Welch, as Helen Juliet, right from the beginning and it makes me so proud to have been part of her journey and to see just how far she will go.
Thank you, I love this book!!

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Fear The Silence in Books
Jul 9, 2023
I absolutely love Mr Bryndza's Kate Marshall series but this is his first standalone crime thriller and what an absolute triumph it is.
From the very first lines, I was absolutely hooked right to the very end. The author certainly knows how to grab you by the short and curlies and not let go!
With excellent characters, a great setting which added to the atmosphere, a riveting plot that pulled me in and all written at a perfect pace, this book had me on the edge of my seat ... I loved it.
I have no hesitation recommending this to lovers of psychological thrillers. In fact, I have no hesitation in recommending Robert Bryndza's work as everything I have read by him has been to notch and he is one of my go-to author's where I don't even need to read the blurb to pick it up and know I will enjoy the ride.
Many thanks to the author, Raven Street Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Fear The Silence.

Merissa (14030 KP) rated Forgotten Storm (Storm #1) in Books

Forgotten Storm is the first book in the Storm series and, let me tell you, it certainly kicks up a storm! From beginning to end, this book grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go!
Nikki is a strong female character who has dealt with more than she should have done, which has left her with coping mechanisms she doesn't think anyone will understand. Logan is her mate and a strong character in his own right. He has done what he thought was right for Nikki, even to his own detriment, to ensure her safety. Of course, nothing goes according to plan so both of them have to deal with unforeseen issues.
This is, quite simply, an amazing book. There are some hard-hitting subjects raised here including sexual abuse, assault, BDSM, plus more that I won't go into. There are no slow points in the story and the pacing is perfect for the story. I loved how Nikki was into martial arts 'before' she knew anything so that helped her progression. Logan is a darling and I loved him! He's also an Alpha Male so obviously he needed a whomp upside the head at times and Nikki was the perfect one to do so.
A brilliant start to a series that I can't wait to read more about. Highly recommended.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Split (2016) in Movies
Jan 22, 2021
This is Russ. I went and saw the new M. Night Shyamalan movie Split today, and let me tell you...Hey, this is Stephen. I'm in the light now. So, we saw Split today. It's the best movie of 2017 I've seen. It's also the only movie of 2017 I've seen so far. Sit down Stephen! This is Arnie, and yeah, Split was amazing! It was as thrilling as climbing a water tower. Damn it Arnie, sit back down! Don't make me release the beast! Sorry about that, this is Russ again, back in the light. Split is one of M. Night Shyamalan's best movies to date. There have been movies about people with split personalites in the past, but this is definitely one of the most original takes on the subject matter. This is happening, you don't need a sixth sense to see it, just follow the signs, leave your village, and take a visit to your local theater and see this movie. James McAvoy gives a great performance, or performances I should say, and the 'survivor girl' Anya Taylor-Joy is unbreakable. A solid thriller that deserves to be in the light right now. Oh, and make sure you don't leave the theater before the credits roll, because the last scene ties the movie into another of Shyamalan's. I won't say which, but I was grinning ear to ear with the tie-in.
