Memories of a Life: Colten & Josie: Part Two by Jewel E. Ann Review & Release Blitz!

Memories of a Life: Colten & Josie: Part Two by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

The girl I met when we were nine is now the woman who said "yes" to being my wife.

But Josie's not planning our wedding; she's too consumed by things that happened over a century ago.

She has terrible dreams and unrelenting visions of the unspeakable. I believe her, but I don't understand her.

If I can't understand her, I can't stop her.

If I can't stop her, I can't save us.

And without us ... well, I can't imagine that world.

Review:

I don’t remember a time lately where I have been so invested, so excited, so ready to read part two of a series. I finished the first book in this series and all but begged Jewel E Ann to release this book ASAP because I so desperately needed to know what happens next. Now I know what happens next… and I’m a little speechless! This book was everything I hoped it would be and nothing I expected it to be all in one marvelous, quirky package. I don’t know how to write a review with all my thoughts and feelings on this story because there’s no way I am going to spoil it for anyone as I have deemed it a MUST READ but I’ll try to sum up my feelings the best way I can. Josie freaking broke my heart in this book. Colten revived it. Reagan made it feel warm and fuzzy. Savannah and Isaac made me want to hug them. Let’s add Becca to the hugging party. This book was filled with so many emotions and so many twists and turns. At one point I thought I had an idea of what may happen. Then I realized I had no idea what was going to happen. And then I realized there’s no way I’ll ever predict what’s going to happen by the end! A mark of a great book for me is on the truly keeps me on the edge of my seat, unable to disengage to do normal life things, because you just have to know what happens next. This was that book for me. Thank you Jewel E Ann for another incredible story. You are an amazing storyteller and I cannot wait for whatever story comes next!

Pieces of a Life by Jewel E. Ann Review and Release Blitz!

 

Pieces of a Life, part one in an all new duet in the Life series by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

 

The summer before fourth grade, Colten Mosley moved into the house across the street from mine, and we became inseparable.

He played the piano and baseball.
I had a penchant for dead things while at the same time imagining what it would be like to kiss Colten.
We were filled with curiosity and overly active imaginations.

We were also forbidden to be more than friends.
But that didn't stop us.

Weeks before graduation, he annihilated my heart, and it's been seventeen years since the day I knew I'd hate him forever.

Now he's back in my life--a single dad and a homicide detective looking over my shoulder while I perform autopsies as one of Chicago's most gifted forensic pathologists. Then fate throws us a curveball.

Colten saves my life, but he can't erase the images that now keep me awake at night. And I can't explain them.

Am I still the girl he's always loved? Or nothing more than pieces of that life?

Review:

Omg!!! That ending!!!

 This book… I’m a little speechless right now, so hopefully I can get my brain to cooperate and formulate some words! 

I have read books by Jewel E Ann before and loved them. She’s an incredible writer. She writes complex characters and builds great worlds with incredible storytelling. This book is definitely no exception. Colten and Josie are going to stick with me for a while, and that’s with only reading half of their duet so far! I love having the back story of their childhood together. I love the snippets of memories of then and now. I am desperate to know more about each of them and their times apart. I need to know especially more about Josie and why she is the way she is. 

I have so many mixed feelings about young Colten but adult Colten… I’m here for. I love his dedication. I love that he’s her ride or die, no matter what. 

The first half of this book was good. I was entertained. I enjoyed the childhood friendship between the two characters and the ‘what do we do now’ thing that happened after their reunion. 

But the last half of this book… omg. I couldn’t stop reading.  It’s suspenseful, dramatic, creepy, engaging, so many different things. 

I’ll finish my review by saying I am on THE EDGE of my seat (and maybe my sanity LOL) waiting for the next part of their story to come out. 

I need it now.

What Lovers Do by Jewel E. Ann Review and Release Blitz!

What Lovers Do by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

From bestselling author, Jewel E. Ann, comes a hilarious secret lovers story that redefines the meaning of friendship.

Shep’s found the female version of himself … and he thinks she’s perfect—perfectly unavailable.

Everyone loves Shep, the charismatic employee at Scottsdale’s newest pet store. He has shared custody of his two dogs with his annoying ex-wife and a smile that can disarm most women.

Except … Dr. Sophie Ryan.

What starts out as a disastrous first meeting, involving a coffee catastrophe and mistaken flirting, turns into an unconventional friendship.

Fake phone sex.

Dog park dates.

And eighteen holes of golf.

The problem? Sophie’s taken herself out of the dating pool for a mysterious reason, imprisoning Shep in the friend zone for eternity.

As their competitive personalities hit a boiling point, the gloves come off and so do their clothes. When Sophie’s “real” life threatens their relationship, can Shep let go of his past to chase the one that might get away?

Review:

What a cute story!! This book was exactly what I needed- something sweet, something light, something good. To me it seems just about impossible to not be charmed by Shep and Sophie. Not to say I wouldn’t have handled a few things differently than Sophie did, but still. Both of these characters are just… good. Good people who treat others how we should all treat others, with love, kindness, selflessness. This story kept me entertained from start to finish, wanting to know, needing to know how it was all going to work out! I’ve read Jewel E. Ann’s books before and knew I would enjoy her writing style but had no idea how much I would fall in love with this one. The epilogue of this story was just… perfection. I’m so glad we got to see a snippet of the future, even if I happily focused on the here and now throughout the rest of the book! If you’re interested in reading a light, contemporary romance with a friends to lovers/secret romance theme, this book is the one! Check it out today! Thank you for another incredible story, Jewel E. Ann! Can’t wait to read whatever comes next!

End of Day by Jewel E. Ann Review!

 "I loved her which is why the word suddenly feels monumentally inadequate for you. I gave her my love, but you... you took it. You took everything. I never had a choice. You tore into my life... into my heart, wrecking all sense of the man I was before you. Being with you is the best part of my day... every day. You think you're broken, but you're not. And if you were... it wouldn't matter. I love every. Single. Piece of you." - Jewel E. Ann, End of Day

Can we just stop and swoon at two things? This GORGEOUS cover of a book. I love it so much for some reason. And...the quote at the top of this review. I mean, come on! Who wouldn't love a dreamboat who said that to them?!?!

Anyway, I digress! Let's talk a little about this book! 

What an interesting read! I don’t have a ton to say about it because I feel like I’m still processing what I read. There is so much subject matter in this book. 

There’s a lot to think about and consider, like: Jessica Day and the trauma she went through, who she has become and how, the relationship she has with Luke, the closeness of her relationship with her twin brother, Jackson and Jillian and the mess of their new lives in Omaha, the sweet caring of Lillith, the risqué job and attitude of Jillian in the retirement community, oh, and AJ. 

AJ AJ AJ. There is something about AJ that really pulls me in. My heart hurts for him.

 I hate his ex-wife, though in some regards I can’t blame her, especially if safety became a concern. I guess I just feel for the underdog, the wounded warrior. Maybe that’s why I love AJ and Jillian because they both are that in their own regard. 

I’m not going to go into any details about the book because this is just book one of a series and I’m sure I’ll do more detailed thoughts on the series when it’s done, but for now... I’ll say I am definitely intrigued. I am looking forward to reading the next book soon. I have a guess about what’s going on with AJ at the end of this book. I hope I’m wrong about that guess. I hope Jillian doesn’t freak out with whatever he tells her. Something in me really wants the best for all these characters and I hope they get it!

To be continued as I finish this series! 

Happy reading!
