Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated With Every Heartbeat (Forbidden Men, #4) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
Hmm...this one didnt quite grab me, either, like the first two did. As much as i love Quinn and the last half of this book, the first half with Cora...well, i just wanted to throw my kindle/laptop/phone because it felt so wrong! She was so horrible and Quinn was so lovely.
One thing i do love about this series, though, is how close this gang is. They all rib and tease each other but will stick up for each other in a heartbeat. It's so nice!
I can't wait to read Ten and Caroline's story so I'm off to start it right now :D

Kristina (502 KP) rated The Opportunist (Love Me with Lies, #1) in Books

I was a little weary of starting this series. Tarryn isn't known for her HEAs. As much as I enjoyed Mud Vein, it was a bit dark for my taste - and Marrow was completely confusing. I did love F*ck Love, though, so I decided to give the rest of her books a try. I'm really glad I did! I started The Opportunist on the 3rd of June. The only reason it took me 4 days to read is because I don't read when my husband is off work. I loved the story, I loved the characters, and I loved all the obstacles! Most certainly a one-of-a-kind read!
Andrew Koltuniuk (767 KP) rated Inception (2010) in Movies
May 19, 2020
I can't believe that I haven't logged this movie before. This movie has been in my list of top five movies of all time since I watched it, and almost nothing has been able to topple it. This film is so brilliant and amazing. I absolutely love the insane amount of time that Nolan spent on making this film as perfect as it is. I could rant about this film forever, but I'll keep it short. I love the characters, the story is fantastic, and I get something new out of it each time that I watch it. I can't even count how many times I've seen it.
Ari Augustine (10 KP) rated Innocence Tainted: Epidemic of Lies in Books
May 4, 2020
Reminiscent of FLASH, Innocence Tainted is about Dr. Oralia, who wakes from a coma after being struck by lightening only to find she has gained supernatural powers. I highly enjoyed this story. It was easy to like Oralia, especially with the main theme of the book being self-discovery/transformation. Her traumatic past was what I emphasized with the most, and I love that this part of who she is wasn't overdone. She is strong and vulnerable, decisive and thoughtful. I love how empowering she is as not only as a heroic figure, but as a black woman. Stories like this are so needed in the world!

Elli H Burton (1288 KP) rated Miss Purdys Class in Books
Jun 16, 2019 (Updated Jun 16, 2019)
Political themes meh.
Another Historical Romance which is my all time favourite thing to read. This is no exception and it ticks every box. A lovely read, gripping story and great writing.
A few downsides is that there is a relationship between Miss. Purdy and a student that seems to be more seasoned that explained in the book. This may be due to the fact that not until much later does the writing become Students point of view and therefore you don't actually know what is felt by them as the story progresses in the beginning. If and when you read it - i hope you see what I mean.
The love story isn't your typical one which is refreshing, I do always love a bit of change and this one is definitely one, it's absolutely heartbreaking though which in a critic point of view, is very well written and a good plotline.
The story has some real life issues from around that time included which was very political. As I am not politically inclined and I do most of my reading before bed, it was rather hard to keep interested when the characters went on page long rants about it. (Perhaps trying to read those parts during the day will help my poor mind keep up!!) The politics slowly takes over, but is quite essential to the story though unfortunately again for me, i found it hard to keep up.
All in all I'd say it is worth a read, although not my favourite Annie Murray book but I did thoroughly enjoy it.
