~ Review of Reconnected ~
This book was even better than the
first. I was so anxious to get reading
to find out what happened to Chris and Katie. The author did not disappoint.
Each chapter has new parts to the story and
it definitely made you keep reading. The author added in some brilliant twists.
Not too many follow-ups are as good as the
first but the author nailed this one.
I would definitely recommend this series to
other readers. It was a great love story and proved that love is worth fighting
for.

~ Review of Disconnected ~
I really enjoyed this book. My heart was
breaking the entire time for the main character Katie. She was put through so
much, I had to wonder how she could survive.
The only issue that I had was that I could
not connect with the character Chris until about half way through the book. I
just didn’t feel anything for him and I kept thinking he was going to do
something wrong sooner or later. I was glad I kept reading. I fell in love with
him as well as the book went on.
Warning to readers: this book has some
violent scenes. It just made the story just right with angst.
The author definitely finished the first
book off with a bang!
Thank you for having me on your fantastic blog :)
