This was a quick novella About Damian who an ex NFL star turn muti millionaire and Charity who is there to help Damian during a crisis situation and help his image. when a video is leaked lf Damian Charity is there to manage the situation and make sure Damian’s professional image doesn’t get tarnished.

My thoughts/ review:

This is my first Fredrik Backman book and I decided to go with this one. It’s basically a short novella about Noah’s grandpa losing his memory and dying. In the wake of Noah’s memory loss his grandpa See’s his son Ted when he was a young boy and gets him confused with his grandson Noah. He also sees he late wife who passed earlier on. The old man is trying to remember and reflect on what seems the best memories he had with his family, and he is holding on to that.

I actually really enjoyed reading this I also liked the artwork in the story which gave this novella a nice touch. In the near future I would like to read more of this author’s work since I enjoyed reading his shorter book.

My thoughts/ review:

So I’m starting down a long rabbit hole of reading all of Ruby Dixion’s books, and I have to say I’m enjoying myself. This my second book read by her and I liked the world the author has created. 

This Varrik and Milly’s story how how they met. Milly was kidnapped from earth and forced to be a slave to blue horned alliens. She is given as gift to leader and ruler Varrik. Varrik seems to treat her differently than the other alliens. He is showing that he cares for Milly.

In the story Varrik keeps Milly by his side and eventually tells her how he feels about her. Although being on a strange planet and speaking a different language for Milly she is trying to make the best of it. She ends of falling for Varrik as well.

In the end they have their HEA and get married and move to another planet where they start a new life.

I really enjoyed this in my mind I was rooting for both Milly and Varrik to be together without consequences especially since Varrik is the ruler of his planet and has so many laws to abide by.

After reading this novella I plan to continue on in the ice planet series.

We Time By Moon Bey Book Review

Synopsis:

Lover, secretary, caretaker, kiss craver; Darryl has worked hard to be the kind of man women sing about in love songs. His friends have always warned him against treating chicks like wives without a ring. But to Darryl, his loyalty should be as intense as his love. He vows never to give his lady a reason to doubt him.

Things were no different when he got with Monae. Darryl became so obsessed with her potential that he ignored her using his kindness as a crutch. His friends quickly noticed Darryl’s forgiving heart gave Monae the security to do as she pleased. After all, she was always welcomed home with open arms.

Forced to spend more quality time as a couple than usual, Darryl faces truths he can no longer ignore and secrets Monae can no longer hide.

Will Darryl double down on his beliefs and continue to ride for Monae as one’s partner does? Can he manage to go against his nature and send Monae packing? Only a little we time will tell.

Book Review:

This was a different kind of story. Darryl I understand he is a sweet guy and cares for Monae but he is getting treated crap. Monae is wrong for being around other men and not even trying to hide it from Darryl.

Women like this make it hard for the good women out here. Monae plays too many games and she really doesn’t care how Darryl feels. Which is wild because she claims she still loves him.

Darryl is very weak it’s nothing nice about a weak man. He should had not tried as hard to keep Monae around instead just left her. The ending is what got me though. Darryl is not strong and he shouldn’t had took Monae back.
