Always Only You book review

I have read this book twice this year which is not something I often do unless I love a book so that could probably tell you what you need to know about my opinion on Always Only You by Chloe Liese but it won’t stop me reviewing it anyway.

Always Only You is the second book in the Bergerman Brothers series which follows the relationships of the seven Bergerman siblings. I do, however, think that especially with the earlier books you do not need to read this series in order and you can instead read whichever you are most interested in first and see if it is for you before committing to seven books because I know that is a long series.
In this one we follow Ren Bergerman, who has known since he met Frankie he would wait for her and Frankie the autistic no-nonsense social media for the ice-hockey team Ren plays for.

The first time I read this I listened to the audiobook all within 24 hours because I was desperate to know what was going to happen and that is the only time I have listened to any audiobook that quickly. This time around I read it at a slower pace over 3 days but loved it just as much.

Frankie is a character who has really stuck with me in many ways. I connect to a lot about what she says in this book about her autism and also with that I have learned a reasonable amount from her about what I can do to accommodate for myself. She also always reminds me that I can accept it but also not let it be something that always has to define me or I have to tell everyone about.

Ren is one of my favourite love interests and I also love him as his own character. He is nerdy and so accommodating to Frankie wanting to do whatever he can to help but also happy to learn when he needs to step back, and give Frankie her space too.

Something else I love about this series is how in each book no matter what sibling we follow we always also get to spend time around the rest of the Bergerman family and whatever partners have joined the family by that book. I will take any time I can get with the Bergerman family so I absolutely love this. Another reason why I love this is because it means that we don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after one book and can continue to see life developments and how their relationships continue to develop.

This book is definitely on its way to becoming a comfort read and book I turn to when I need a reread that can take my mind off of things and just lets me escape the world for a while. I can only imagine how many times I will reread this book in the future. Definitely a favourite book now no doubt about it.

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark. Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship. This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh. Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Match book review

Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it. The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family. This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Rhubarb Lemonade book review

Rhubarb Lemonade was originally published in Swedish in 2019 but has recently been translated to English by A. A. Prime and is due for UK publication on the 8th of June 2023. This book follows Vonya who is spending the summer with her Grandfather on the small Swedish island where he lives. She plans on fixing an old boat and making it seaworthy with some help from her Grandfather, and then she meets Ruth, who’s her age and keeps appearing where she’s keeping the boat, but they don’t seem to have anything more in common. This is a contemporary book and I would probably say it’s more YA than Middle Grade due to some of the language used at certain points in the book. Rhubarb Lemonade is written from Vonya’s perspective, so you hear all of her thoughts on things but it also helps as there are sometimes it moves around the timeline so it isn’t a massive jump or shock as it does in some other books. This book is quite short and doesn’t have a massive cast of characters, Vo...
