NJ Penny Book Reviews

"The stars seemed trivial and unimpressive next to this beautiful boy, who held my heart in the palm of his hands." This is my first book by Nikki Summers. I didn't know what to expect, but WOW. While I love a good romance, a good romantic comedy, and a good book full of angst, I have a special place for some romantic suspense. I love to read about love between two people, but also feel uncomfortable because I'm not sure what's going to happen next.  First of all, Chole was AMAZING. Talk about a real bad ass. I immediately loved her, and I never stopped. She made sure everyone around her knew she was capable of making her own decisions and doing whatever she wanted. She was the definition of an independent woman. Seriously, she was fantastic. I LOVE a good bad ass female character that doesn't let anyone walk all over her.  I'd spent a life time living in the dark with my demons.  So, can we talk about Luca? What a great leading man....

Normally my blog is used for writing reviews, but lately some things have been weighing on my mind and I wanted to get some stuff off my chest.  Ever since I was a little girl, all I’ve ever wanted to do was write. I was constantly filling journals and writing stories. To me it was just a dream that wasn’t ever going to happen.  A couple years ago I was working at a job that I hated. I was experiencing some things at work No one should ever have to go through and I was miserable.  I was also 7 months pregnant. The pregnancy was a difficult one, I never felt like myself, and I was constantly miserable. My water ended up breaking 2 weeks early, I had a c section, and my baby was sent to the nearest children’s hospital. He almost had a heart attack, he was in an incubator, and I was an hour and a half away trying to recover from surgery before they would let me go to him. The next month was spent at a hospital while my other 3 kids were at home with their dad, a...

HTML: Release Date: April 16 Jonas Schwartz isn't just good at playing football. He's also good at playing hearts and four years ago, he played mine like it was the easiest game of his life.  Brokenhearted, I ran off to art school, swearing to forget about my one-off secret weekend with the star quarterback. I'd heard whispers about his injury, but I never expected Jonas to return to our hometown to rehab his knee, and I certainly never thought he'd show up on the other side of my door with a pizza in hand. He looks good. Better than before. Whatever--I'm over him.  I've  completely moved on. I just wish my heart would get the memo...

The beauty of us came from the ashes of our loss.  I had been in such a reading rut during this quarantine, and it was a such a bummer because I have all this extra time, it would be the perfect opportunity to read.  Then I found Stefanie. This is the second book of her's I have read, and I'm about to start the 3rd. I love her words. Her books are heartbreaking, but they are real. She knows how to make you feel all the emotions the characters are feeling, and she can really make you connect to her story.  I loved Haylee and Zach in the first book, so I was really excited when I found out they had their own book. They had both been through so much, and their pain brought them together. I loved that. It goes to show you that even when you are losing hope, and you feel like giving up, you can still find love when you're in a dark place.  "Sometimes, we need to take a moment and escape the chaos to remember that it's just you and me. Never forget th...
