I really liked this book.

The cover is definitely eye-catching and it was that that grabbed my attention in the first place (then it was the description). Let me tell you, if that is what Kyran looks like, then I do not blame Dale one bit for going a little crazy about him. Sure his attitude was a little abrasive at first but he seemed to chill out the more he got to know her.

Maybe it was the banter between the characters and how they sort of bounced their insults back and forth but never to anger each other, more for the laugh. It was refreshing. I liked some of the more playful scenes best, though the hot ones were fun too and fairly often.

It wasn't all fun and games, there were some darker bits in it too surrounding Kyran's brother.

I could honestly have stayed up all night reading it if I hadn't had to get up for work the next day. It pulled me in fairly quickly within those first few chapters with the sexual attraction between the characters and the progression of their relationship was believable and quite sweet, though Kyran annoyed me a little at certain points. He is one stubborn man.

But Dale kicked arse and wouldn't put up with any of Kyran's crap, which I think shows how stubborn she could be too.
  
Patriots Day (2016)
Patriots Day (2016)
2016 | Crime, Drama, Thriller
There are events in history that are burned into our memories. The attack on Pearl Harbor, JFK assassination, Challenger explosion, Oklahoma City bombing, and 9/11 stand out as moments when their respective generations ask “where were you when?” The same can be said with the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. In Patriot’s Day we bear witness to the various people involved with the events that unfolded during that week. We are reminded of the tension and fear that the nation experienced as law enforcement tried to find those responsible. The film reopens a wound that has just begun to heal so that we are reminded of the vulnerability that everyone, from every walk of life has to terrorism and acts of violence.

Patriot’s Day stars Mark Wahlberg as a police officer and native Bostonian who is placed on duty for the Boston Marathon. The film is not about him or his personal experience. Rather, the film is more about the myriad of individuals who witness or fall victim to the attack that day. Unlike similar films that deal with the topic of terrorism, the film does not focus on the effect the events have on one or two people. The film is complex and demonstrates the circumstances of the attack, the investigation, the apprehension, and the personal experiences through a variety of voices and faces. The film makes the experience personal and does not depend on sensationalism to sell the story.

The film will captivate those that see it in being able to learn more about the individuals involved or who fell victim. It is also remarkable in its ability to weave the storytelling so that each player has a strong development before their portion of the tale is fully realized. It allows for an appreciation of the individuals involved and demonstrates that they are more than just names in a report. Patriot’s Day is a film that will open wounds for those who witnessed and experienced the events first-hand, but allows for those who have little to no memory of that week to delve deeper into the way that the events played out and truly understand the manner in which the city of Boston went from hurting, to healing, to being strong.

Album Favorite

"I saw an advert for this album when it came out and I had to buy it. I just thought, 'With a title like that, it’s either going to be the greatest thing ever or the worst thing ever.' And from the second I put it on and heard 'Barabajagal (Love Is Hot)' by Donovan that blew me away. The second the album finished I got on the phone, and I was like, 'Find me these guys. I need to go and work with them.' Then I found out more about them and I went onto their website and they’ve got podcasts and everything. You should see them DJing. They are unbelievable. They will blow your mind. They’re modern day geniuses… even though one of them never says a word and the other one never stops talking."
