The Frog Prince Sophie Ranald

Synopsis:
On paper, Will Turner seems like the ideal man: he’s gorgeous, has a GSOH and looks great in a pair of Marigolds. Oh, and his tech start-up has made him rich beyond his wildest dreams. So why can’t he find the perfect girlfriend?

Stella’s just moved in with Will’s best mate Julian, and she’d love Will to settle down too, ideally with a New Best Friend for her. She persuades him to try online dating – but there’s a catch. Will has to go undercover and pretend to be an average, hard-working bloke. He’ll do the big reveal only when he’s found Ms Right.

What could possibly go wrong?

While Will encounters ticking biological clocks, YouTube pick-up artists and a cat called Muggle, Stella's own fairytale isn’t working out quite as she imagined. Is her heart really in the right place? And has she left it too late to kiss her prince?
Review:
I love the cover of this book. The colors are popping and eye catching, I won''t lie and say that the cover along with the title were the main things that drew me in firs.t. The synopsis of the book was very misleading however or maybe I was just expecting something different and it took away from the book.  The writing was very good I just found the story a bit depressing for my taste at the moment.

The title is appropriate, you learn just how right the title of the book is as you read about Stella's  miserable relationship with Julian because be certainly is the frog that didn't turn into a prince when you kiss him.

This is a good warning book for watching a girl get trapped in the cycle of a toxic relationship, the forgiving over and over and the waiting for it to get better. It also shows readers how much  a relationship can affect every aspect of your life.

I think my favorite part of this book was how each chapter was started with a little fairy tale excerpt. It really gave the book an edge and some personality.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars!

Back from Hiatus

I know things have virtually been dead here for months. I was struggling to find the balance between working, being a mom and my husband has been struggling with his PTSD. So naturally like most mom's do, they put their lives on hold to get everyone else's back on track.
Lol, well not anymore.
I am going to be adding some new features and designs, so please bare with me and the construction going on. Thank you for reading and sticking around.

This product was provided by netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
 
Synopsis:

They say a soul is the immaterial essence, the animating principle, the actuating cause of an individual life.

But what if you had to share yours with the one person you hated the most?

The soul mate principle states that for every one soul there is another that will recognize its match, hence creating the perfect union.

But what if you had two soul mates, which would you choose?

What if your choices had eternal ramification?

Deceived, the debut novel in the Soul Keeper Series, is a modern day love story about the implications of having more than one soul mate, and having to choose between the two of them. The decisions of the gods has left the next generation, their heirs, torn between fate and reality, and the balance of the future hangs in anticipation of what's to come.


Review: 
  • With most books I am given in exchange for a review it usually takes me a couple of chapters to really get into the book and decide if I am going to be able to sink my teeth into it, if it will drag on or ultimetly I just cant find myself enjoying.  With this book that few chapters I usually allow faded away as I was snared within the first few pages. Allow me a moment to figure out exactly how to explain just how much I enjoyed this book and why.
  • I think one of the best aspects of this book is that the love interest is not rushed.  There was not this deep been in love forever attraction that could not be broken and is pretty unrealistic. In fact for the majority of the book the love interests are seperated. I was watching the percentage of the book ticking away, all the while the trio had yet to come together and while I was excited that this book was realistic in this aspect, I could hardly contain my excitement for it to happen.
  • I like that you really get to involved with the characters of this book, you get so much back story and insight, some of it repeating, that you get to know the characters and you can't help but pick a side in everything. 
  • It is a pretty safe bet to say that I  NEED the sequel to this book. I HAVE To know what happens and so will you. 
  • Love, intrigue, mythology, you name it and this book probably has it. 
Rating:
5 out of 5 stars!
