Review - Shattered Dreams D.L Kane

Amy Adams was living in a dream. Surrounded by her closest friends, she was about to marry the love of her life. Two words would bring her world crashing down around her. 

Betrayed by the three people she loves most in the world, Amy must find the strength to pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams. 

Will she realize the love she sought has always been right in front of her, or will the pain of betrayal force her to turn her back on everyone?

My Review

4.5 Stars

I really enjoyed this story. To follow the childhood sweet hearts battle the truth within themselves. So many think that love like that can't and won't last. It was heartbreaking to feel the hurt that Amy Adams was experiencing. The betrayal and lies that lied in front of her. I really felt all of that for her.  Mason! I fell for him myself. And was taken back when I realized it was not him that she was marrying. You could feel how he felt for Amy and both of them thought the other had other feelings. Then there is David and Tori. UGH I have definitely had my fair share of friends like Tori and I could seriously hurt her.
My favorite part was just how Mason and Amy sat and vegged out watching movies together, best friends and the most natural thing in the world for them. I also loved the way he calls her babygirl. Something about that just melts me.
The only issue that I had with this story was that with so many having flashbacks and memories, it was hard to follow who was having the flashback at the time. There were scenes that I felt needed scene breaks that didn't have any, and then scene breaks where I felt it wasn't needed.
All in all I really did love this story. I was hooked from the start. So I give this great story 4.5 Stars.

Calgon Take Me Away!

No where but here. It's been a long summer and we have definitely gotten a bad case of Cabin Fever. We managed to sneak out to the pool for a few hours and it was pure Bliss.

I just won this new Kindle Paper white and I am in LOVE with it. I have had each of the available Kindle readers but always struggled to read outside. I spend a lot of time outside on the practice fields while my boys practice for soccer. It is AWESOME! I was even able to read with my sunglasses on which was a major score for me. If you are always outside I highly recommend this Kindle Paper White!

My Review 

This book has taken over my favorite book by Alisa so far!! I absolutely loved the beginning and the flashback...Oh the flash back was PERFECT! That part absolutely hooked me from the getgo! The Ouija board is my favorite scene!

This book will take you on a roller coaster! an awesome mind blowing roller coaster of ups and downs. My heart broke and then each piece was put back together again!

I loved Jules and sounds like someone that I could totally hang out with. Johnny boy had me swooning then he threw me through a loop or two. LOL Brennan is such a sweet heart! But Jules and Brennan are good together.

. I am totally eager to read more!!

Great Job to Alisa!!

First Post!

Hellooooooooooo Everyone!! So this is my first post! Yay for me! Bare with me as I figure this out! :-)

A little about me. I'm 29 years old and am Married with 3 boys! 10y/7y/4y . I met my husband online before Online Dating was Cool! haha I've been wanting to start a blog of my own for quite some time but I just didn't have the courage to do so until now!

I want to use this blog for EVERYTHING. I am a Big time reader so I am always writing reviews, and since I am a busy soccer mom, I am always on the lookout for products that make my life easier. So why not combine the two and share it. *Shrugs* Easy enough.

So I may post a little bit of everything, even if I am just talking to myself...LOL Hopefully that doesn't happen though, LOL I look forward to sharing my life with everyone and hope no one minds my boring life too much.
