Then There Was You is a story filled with heartache, regret, pain, broken dreams...and the journey that Paige and Josh must traverse to gain the healing they need in order to move on with their lives.

There is a love triangle-squareish thing going on. But tastefully done and did not make me uncomfortable or annoyed. It felt very real and a situation that is very believable. Being set in Australia and jumping back and forth from an American perspective and an Australian's it really helped the perspective of how differently cultures can be even if they speak the same language. I LOVED it! I adore learning about different cultures...Even if I was disappointed to learn a thing or two about Koalas that weren't all that great. And drop bears! Y'all better watch out for those if you ever visit the land down under!

This story depicts the amazing hand of God at work in our lives. Sometimes, the things He has for us are even greater than we ever thought possible. Even if we can't see how it could ever work out.

Both Paige and Josh let preconceived ideas influence their opinions of each other. Only through trust and removing the walls they have placed around themselves will they be able to see the truth. But when that trust is tested will everything they have built be for naught?

A touching and moving romance infused with the healing that only God can provide. Travel Down Under with Paige McAllister for the adventure of a lifetime.

I received a complimentary copy of Then There Was You from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
  
I Am Mother (2019)
I Am Mother (2019)
2019 | Sci-Fi, Thriller
Humans have become extinct. All that's left behind are thousands of human embryos and a robot. This robot defrost an embryo and the only human left to exist is born. The robot raises the child as if its her own, and is known only as daughter which believe me gets annoying to hear mother says it practically every sentence.
Anyway fast forward a few years and daughter is a teenager and becoming very inquisitive about the outside world. This starts when a mouse gets into the facility, upon this mouse being destroyed by mother, daughter explores the facility one evening whilst mother is powered down and she hears a voice from outside shouting for help, it turns out to be another human, what!?! She let's her in and after an argument with mother for doing so, mother agrees to help the stranger but the woman - seing and experiencing the outside world refuses help, she doesn't trust mother at all. You see it turns out there are other droids identical to mother, but they are evil and tear people away from their families. It's little wonder she doesn't trust mother but is she right to be suspicious? You'll have to watch and see.
Now I'm not usually a Sci fi fan but this movie isn't actually all that bad, the fact that mother sounds more human than android you do feel like there's a real connection between mother and daughter, even right at the end.
Throughout the movie I kept feeling torn between trusting mother or the stranger, I did lean more towards the stranger but I did feel for mother too. It was a complete mind bender and messed with you right to the very end.

THE BEAR'S BROKEN OMEGA is the third book in the Grizzly Ridge series, and is about Zander, sheriff of Grizzly Ridge and bear shifter, and Reid, a traumatised for more than one reason warlock. You don't have to have read the other two, but I think it helps, if only for background.

Reid was abused as a child, starts rebelling and spreading his wings, and is forced into a mating that he never wanted, and is abused once more. So when I say he has trust issues, trust me. He does, and with fair reason. Zander is the sheriff and doesn't expect to find his mate in the middle of a battle, but there you go. He understands that Reid needs treating gently and tries to give him space, while also showing that he can be trusted and relied upon.

This is a slow-burn of a story, made more complicated for the main characters when they realise Reid is pregnant with his captor's baby. My heart broke for him, even as I cheered him on. I loved how he made Zander work for his affection, and I loved even more how Zander completely understood and didn't play games in return.

There are hints for at least two more books in the series - Garrett and Kit, and Nathaniel and George. I honestly can't wait to read these.

This series is full of hurt and trauma, while showing that the love of the right man/shifter isn't all that you need, but it goes one helluva long way to making your world right again. Definitely recommended!
