Book Review: Roller Rink Starlight by William Hart

Image
Roller Rink Starlight is a memoir by William Hart that wistfully recalls the 1960s when he was young. Dominating the book is the passion, in a climate where lies the coolness to let yourself be penetrated by its fragility. And, in this sense, the book becomes a symbol of a society evolving to manage relationships and affections. The book, on the other hand, offers a lucid look at those times gone by. The prismatic characters, the relationships connoted in all their complexity, mean that with the never tragic yet profound ironic touch, William Hart makes us reflect on the institution of the family and monogamy, and prefigure the fragility of some conquests that all epoch seemed imminent, like equality between the sexes. Set in Wichita, Kansas, William Hart traces his relationships with Katy Linsey, at the tender age of fourteen and later with Lauren McCabe, that changes his life later. They were young and at the mercy of their inner world, of shyness, of prudery, of the unspoken, of l

Book Review: The Society of Necessities

Image
The Society of Necessities by Christopher Bowron is not an easy novel, but it's certainly out of the ordinary. It is not easy to tell you about this book because I think that every word would be trivial compared to its beauty and complexity. Set in breathtakingly beautiful places and narrated with a style capable of captivating the reader, the book is an intense and impossible to forget tale. We are faced with a plot whose outcome is by no means taken for granted and which indeed seems capable of reversing, in the end. Daniel St Croix, the protagonist, will find himself investigating the mystery of his estranged grandfather’s estate-including a gold wedding band holding a powerful secret. Daniel must read Pierre St Croix’s well-kept journals to unravel the puzzle as he finds an obscure secret society in his pursuit. From here Daniel sets out on a journey to unknown and mysterious lands, involving the reader and guiding him along a path that is often full of misunderstandings and

Book Review: The Scavenger by Aidan Lucid

Image
The Scavenger is a new book by Aidan Lucid, author of 'The Lost Son'. There are black and red pages and, most outstandingly, descriptions that reflect key moments in the events. They are great! So if you are a fan of horror, unexplained stories, events that seem straight out of a movie, this book is for you. The plot, in my opinion, is perfectly in line with the theme, and then I fell in love with the cover - even if unfortunately, I only have the digital version. The cover image perfectly represents that that you can find in these pages. I particularly enjoyed this book: it is about friendship, relationships, hopes for the future and family. The protagonists are three kids: Jared Duval, Adrian Cole, and Jessica Barlow. They are friends and after a school’s Halloween dance they live the adventure of finding a runaway lost girl. Without realizing what they are doing, they follow her and comes across an abandoned shack with a well outside. They decide to make a wish and their

Book Review: The Italian Billionaire's Kidnapped Mistress

Image
This time I bring you the review of The Italian Billionaire's Kidnapped Mistress by Kyra Radcliff. I must confess that the books by this author are perfect results as I always look for light and agile readings. If you know me, you will know that I’m an incurable romantic. Let's change my modus operandi for once. Let's start immediately with: did I like the book? This book has left me dumbfounded, perhaps also due to the fact that the writing was engaging. This novel does not lack the part that makes the reader laugh but also the part that moves it and that in the end we become attached to the main characters and their stories intersected during the story. Going back to the book we have a kidnapper as seductive as is bewitching. A young girl kidnapped for a sisters’ safety. A steamy passion that will make you lose the floor. This is a book that tells us about Tori Parsons, Cesare Moretti, Gabriella Marchese, Alfonso Marchese, all rich, all beautiful, all problematic. T

Book Review The Billionaire's Secret by Ravina Hilliard

Image
The Billionaire's Secret by Ravina Hilliard is the book I'm talking about today. Behind the cover lies a novel which has been able to mix eroticism and romance with a truly compelling suspense plot. This romantic and erotic novel with a guaranteed happy ending, and a few problems along the way, chronicles the romance between a young businesswoman and a billionaire. Serena Aisling, the protagonist, is a woman who is as strong in appearance as she is sensitive inside. Serena knew better than anyone what it was to have a painful past, as her millionaire father abandoned her at birth to be raised single-handedly by her mother. After working cleanly and professionally, her life is turned upside down when she is sent to Helsinki to design a production process for a new product at the Mäkelä Group, ruled by the coveted bachelor, Matias Mäkelä. Serena is immediately drawn to the attractive, overbearing CEO, causing internal conflict. It had not been her intention to keep Matias f

Book Review: Billionaire Boss, Undercover Affair

Image
Billionaire Boss, Undercover Affair by Kyra Radcliff is so damn well written that it remains difficult not to enter the characters and live through them every single moment. Indeed, I will tell you more. From my point of view, more than a thriller this book is a beautiful story of love in which the main characters decide to follow their hearts rather than their heads, showing that you can fall in love against all odds. The book primarily tells the story of Susan Johansen and Miles Middleton. Susan is an assistant who has spent more than 10 years working for a retail business owner. Miles is the CEO of a large, wealthy company. They would have never met if it were not for Susan’s boss, Charles Dunlap, who assigns her to break up his daughter Alicia’s engagement with Miles, his arch-enemy in business. Susan in fact, behind her facade as a strong and independent woman, hides a wounded soul, accustomed to defending herself because she has never met anyone willing to fight for her, to b

Book Review: An Uneasy Alliance by Kyra Radcliff

Image
I literally devoured the pages of An Uneasy Alliance by Kyra Radcliff. In this book nothing is as it seems, and as a reader you will begin to speculate on who is telling the truth and above all what is the ultimate goal of every action or word of all the characters, none excluded. Get to know the determined Katherine James and the insane Tate Reilly! Irony, madness and overwhelming attraction frame the story of Katherine and Tate, two magnets who should not be attracted to each other but will they be able to resist? Let's find out together. Happy Reading! The protagonist is Katherine who, has to do whatever it takes to get her brother out of bars, decides to accept the invitation of her enemy, Tate to his villa as his live-in social secretary for one month. Katherine will become part of this microcosm so well designed in a completely natural way and a few days will be enough to be emotionally involved with Tate. But in all this, believe me, it won't be Tate, who will upse
