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!

Rae of Sunshine by Micalea Smeltzer



Rae of Sunshine is Book 1 of the Light in the Dark Series by Micalea Smeltzer.  Like a lot of the author's that I have read I was first introduced to Micalea's writing through a Facebook takeover.  I didn't pick this book up right away, because I have to be in the mood for lovey dovey stories.

I regret not reading this book earlier.  While it is a love story, it was not what I expected.  Cade is a football player who knocks Rae off of her feet, literally.  Their relationship is not an easy one.  Rae is a freshman with a secret, one that she is trying to run from.  Rae doesn't want friends and most of all not a boyfriend.  Of course her roommate Thea will complicate the situation even more. 

Rae of Sunshine is a 5 star for me.  It touches on a subject we should all be aware of (sorry if I tell you the subject I will spoil it) and the repercussions of not paying attention.  Cade is swoon worthy but has some of his own demons to deal with.  Thea will make you laugh your butt right off!  Be prepared though, you will need to move onto book 2 immediately following ;)
