Synopsis

You met Romeo Prince in the Amazon & USA Today bestselling novel, Sweet Home. Now hear the story from his lips: unbarred, uncensored and raw to the bone.

It makes me laugh when I hear that folk think Mol and I rushed into it too fast, spouting that we couldn't possibly have felt what we did for each other in such a short space of time. I say, how the hell would they know? We made it, didn't we? She became my whole life, didn't she? And as for my folks not being real, being true? Tell that to me aged ten, eleven, twelve — damn, all my bastard life — when I was never enough, when I was beaten until I bled for being too good at football and not being everything they'd dreamed: the perfectly dutiful son. Tell that to thousands of kids around the world getting wailed on by asshole parents for whatever stupid reason; tell them that evil don't exist in their eyes.

Fuck Romeo and Juliet: this is the story of me and my girl, from my lips. No mushy sentiment, no cheese, just the plain, hard truth, and, because I'm feeling generous, I'm going to let you in on more of our story too.

Sweet Rome is a New Adult Companion Novel to Sweet Home — contains adult content, sexual situations and mature topics. Suited for ages 18 and up.

Enna Petersen has never been good at making personal decisions, particularly when she has to choose between her passions.

However, when her handsome American businessman boyfriend proposes and paints the picture of a luxurious life in Pennsylvania, she has to tear her heart in two and give up on her theatrical dreams.

But as she navigates the visa gauntlet at the US embassy in England, she meets Will, a charismatic, erudite actor who encourages her to not give up on her dilapidated and much beloved theater.

~About the Author~

Eleanor Gwyn-Jones lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but originally hails from Surrey, England. Huzzah! She studied biology at Southampton University before taking to the stage as an actress, agent and administrator of a touring theatre company. She performed in theatres, studios, schools and festivals across the British Isles before moving to the States. It was whilst visa-dangling and unable to take on acting work that she started to write and decided she far preferred it to anything else in the world! In 2008, Eleanor started her own ‘at home’ business to afford her more time to be with her ‘book babies.’ Now she spends her time writing by day and teaching ladies to look fabulous at night. She is a travel junkie—it’s research, darling, research!—a gourmand, a yogi, a sometime blogger and she adores her family and friends beyond all measure. She is currently putting the finishing key strokes to the sequel to Theatricks, due for release in 2014.

If she weren’t writing, she’d like to think you’d find her in Downton, The Paradise, or having a goblet of wine with Tyrion in King’s Landing.

Synopsis

A figure from Dexter’s past has uprooted all the memories he has tried so desperately to bury… to forget. The terrible events of his past have been blown wide open once again, immersing him a pool of guilt deeper than he’s even experienced before.

Dexter feels powerless. The future he foolishly allowed himself to conceive is falling apart around him and there’s nothing he can do about it. But there’s one thing he can control – one thing he’s an expert at… blocking everything out. Losing all control, Dexter copes the only way he knows how – he dives so far into the well of addiction, the only thing that matters anymore is where his next fix is coming from.

Mission accomplished – there’s no one left. He’s successfully pushed everyone away. Nobody left to care about means no more guilt, right? You can’t hurt people who aren’t there…

But has he really pushed Emily as far away as he thinks he has? She’s given up everything for him – her home, her friends… her whole life. And she doesn’t regret a single thing. But can she save him from drowning, or has he finally sunk too far?

(Not suitable for under 18’s due to language, sexual content and explicit drug use)

~REVIEW~ Once Upon a Prince by Rachel Hauck

Title: Once Upon a Prince (Royal Wedding Series)
Author: Rachel Hauck
Genre: Christian Romance
PURCHASE: Amazon ~ Barnes & Noble

Synopsis

Once Upon a Prince, the first novel in the Royal Wedding series by bestselling author Rachel Hauck, treats you to a modern-day fairy tale.

Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess---just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But life isn’t going according to plan. When her high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life.

The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simon’s Island is the queen of his heart. A prince has duties, and his family’s tense political situation has chosen his bride for him. When Prince Nathaniel comes to Susanna’s aid under the fabled Lover’s Oak, he is blindsided by love.

Their lives are worlds apart. He’s a royal prince. She’s a ordinary girl. But everything changes when Susanna receives an invitation to Nathaniel’s coronation.

It’s the ultimate choice. His kingdom or her heart? God’s will or their own?

~MY REVIEW~

“We make our plans, but God directs our steps.”

Once Upon a Prince was a charming Christian romance.

Susanna has always had her life planned out. After years of dating her military boyfriend she is prepared for the next stage in their relationship. But when he decides that they aren’t meant to be, Susanna is heartbroken. What she quickly realizes is that maybe he was right. He was the right man but not the right man for her.

In enters Nate to save her from a horrid beggar. What starts off as a friendship between the two slowly begins to turn into much more. Nate and Susanne have an innocent and beautiful love blooming between them that neither saw coming. But for Nate, loving Susanna is not something he can allow. The truth is that Nate is none other than Prince Nathanial of Brighton, and he is about to become King. In his kingdom it is forbidden for him to marry an American. On top of that he is expected to marry another woman. This leads to their struggle in discounting what is happening between them.

Realizing the severity of the situation, Susanne does what is expected of her. She releases Nate so that he may be the great King she knows he will be. Brighton is in need of a king like Nathaniel and Susanna refuses to be the reason he is overthrown.  Nate, however, is intent on finding a way to feel free to love Susanna and stay true to his country. Through a series of prayers and soul searching both finally are able to find their HEA.

I am a sucker for “fairytale romances” so when I read the synopsis to this book I just had to read it. And I wasn’t disappointed. It was such a sweet story with a swoon worthy male lead, great supporting characters, and a headstrong protagonist. My only complaint was that there wasn’t more time spent developing the relationship between Susanna and Nate. Nonetheless it doesn’t deter me from recommending this! 

If you are looking for a quick and sweet read pick this up!

HAPPY READING!
