A Five Minute Life by Emma Scott

Jim looked up and found Thea❤️

This is one of the most unforgettable love stories that I ever read, it’s also my first book from Emma and now I want to devour everything she ever wrote.

*this will be a spoiler free review* 

This story had the ability to move me beyond words, Emma gives us Jim who’a a foster kid with a speech impairment who’s never really known love and Thea who has one of the worst cases of amnesia ever recorded, every five minutes her mind resets.

I love when I just randomly decide to read a book without any recommendations and it turns out to be a Gem! This book was that Gem for me this year.

From the moment I met Jimmy I loved him, he’s a broken soul who’s been dealt a horrible hand.  He’s been bullied for his stutter all his life so now he’s insecure and hardly ever speaks.
Then he meets the beautiful Thea, who has this larger than life personality and he immediately feels a connection to her not knowing that she’s actually a patient at his new job.

After the first chapter I had so many ideas as to where this story would go but NOTHING could of prepared  me for the journey that I was about to go on with these characters. I remember thinking how can you craft a love story between two ppl when one of them mind constantly resets?  Let me tell you, the story that Emma lays before us is nothing short of magical. It’s fragile, intricate and complex, every word she wrote stretched my heart to the breaking point.
I was right there hurting with Jimmy as he had to endure every single one of Thea’s resets and I was feeling all of Thea’s emotions as she tried to fight her way out of the darkness.

Jimmy, my sweet boy “Jimmy with the kind eyes” his love was unshakable! I laughed, cried, broke and loved with him. He’s a beautiful person inside and out and his feelings for Thea never once wavered through their story. I loved that this story was so unbelievably heartbreaking but yet so powerfully honest. It wrecked havoc on my heart because I had no idea how it would end seeing that the story was so detailed and honest about Thea’s recovery...but with all it’s twits and emotional tumult it came together in the most brilliant way.

This is honestly romance at its best! I cannot say enough good things about this book.
If you’re in the mood to read an amazing story that makes you believe in a love that goes beyond reason and doubt then I definitely recommend.

5/5 stars for this brilliant five minute love story that I will never forget.

Wicked Lies Boys Tell by K Webster

Firstly I just want to say that I have an unhealthy obsession with this author, she writes some of the most deliciously dark and dirty books! *this is an MM book*  I always get excited whenever K releases a new book because she’s one of those authors that I love everything she writes. When I read the blurb for Wicked Lies Boys Tell I began counting down the days until the notification popped up on my kindle lol. Everything about this books grabs you and sucks you in from the first page. Meet Penn, all American jock, super popular trust fund baby and a Liar! Then there’s Cope, brooding artist, bad boy , and a cold hearted devil with a hot girlfriend but he happens to be the biggest Liar of them all, also they are Ex- best friends turned enemies. After a reconciliation, their relationship is no longer black or white but it’s in this weird grey area. Emotions are running strong and the odds are set against Penn and Cope. This story is filled with forbidden feelings and half ...

Hush Hush by Lucia Franco

* This review does not contain spoilers as I believe that you need to go in blind to get the full experience of this book * Lucia Franco has become my new favorite author. I first read her work in the Off Balance Series and halfway through book one I was hooked-lined-sinkered!! When the blurb for Hush Hush was released I honestly was not that excited but I knew that I would read it anyway because it's Lucia! What I WAS NOT expecting was to fall head over heels in love with this book ( like in love love). This is slow burn romance at it's best. I kid you fucking not! I was at the edge of my seat for the first half of this book and on the floor for the second. Meet Aubrey, a college student who has not had the easiest life so when her roommate\best friend Natalie decides to help get her a job at Sanctuary Cove an upscale secret club she decides to take a chance because it can help her and her Gammy financially. I think this book officially captured my heart when Aubr...
