About Me:

I am a wife, mom of 3 teenagers, and I love to read. I do not limit myself to one genre, but do have some that I prefer. Depending on my mood I will choose a book from RomCom, Romance, Dark Romance, Suspense/Thriller, YA, NA, and SciFi/Fantasy. I would love to share the books I read with you so that you may enjoy them too!

It takes so much courage for an author to put their work out there for the public to read. Then to subject themselves to the opinions of those readers. You will not find disrespectful reviews on this page. Even if a book is not for me, it may be something someone else enjoys. I will not belittle or be nasty to any author, regardless of subject matter. No bashing of person or writing will be tolerated.

My goal by creating this blog is to help authors get their books noticed and to help introduce readers to authors they may not usually read.

Also, please note that any links contained on this website I DO NOT profit from. I do receive advanced reader copies of some of the books I review, but I promise to never let that sway my true feelings on the piece of work.

I am willing to help out as many authors/PAs/promotion companies as I can, but please know that my calendar doesn't always allow for a certain time frame. Please feel free to contact me and I can see if I am able to help. This is a one woman show ;) You can visit my Facebook Page (Like/Follow) at https://www.facebook.com/Reading-Escape-Reviews-279044492594921/ and my email is readingescapereviews@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by! Oh, and be sure to get on the 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge. I will be asking periodically for your actual and goal number!

Against the Rules by Julia Black


Against the Rules

Liberty Cove, #1 by Julia Black Publication Date: May 1, 2017 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
 
Purchase: Amazon
Rule #1: Do not get emotionally involved with any men for the next 15 years. Rule #2: Do not bring any men home. Rule #3: Read rules 1 and 2 again because apparently they aren’t working … The most important thing in Kiera Arlington’s life is Luana, her four-years-old daughter. Though Kiera feels her life is a series of mistakes and disappointments, she knows Luana isn’t one of them. And she will do anything to keep disappointments from her little girl for as long as she can. After his harsh upbringing, Josh Wolfe has one rule: to make a name for himself after med school and enjoy his life–alone. No relationships, no marriage, no kids. But when he meets Kiera and Luana, everything changes. Kiera is like all the other girls he goes for–beautiful, smart–and yet it’s that glimpse of family that keeps her–and her daughter–on his mind. But surrendering to their increasing desire is against Josh’s and Kiera’s rules. Unless, they can keep their hearts out of the game. Oops. Too late. **Graphic content and strong language (18+)

My Review of Against the Rules

Kiera Arlington is raising her daughter, Luana by herself, and she has rules.  I liked Kiera from the start.  She is a strong and determined female character.  Her priority in life is Luana, and that is a quality I can admire.  Josh is funny, caring, of course handsome.  It's no wonder that Kiera goes for him.  

Against the Rules was a sweet romance with a few hurdles for the main characters to overcome.  This is my first Julia Black book, and will definitely be keeping a watch for her work.  I loved the characters, their personalities, and their baggage they brought to the story.  The story wasn't written with a lot of fillers, but I was able to feel what the characters felt.
