Kathmandu (Leo Keane International Thriller Book 1)

I was sent a copy of this book from the author, Luke Richardson in exchange for my honest review.

45449087. sy475

Leo is an anxiety ridden man, recently unemployed and hung up on his ex Mya.  Mya disappeared over 2 years ago.  At his lowest point, Leo is approached by a millionaire who offers him money to go to Kathmandu and find his elusive daughter.  Thinking this could be a way to find Mya again, Leo jumps at the chance.

Allissa is desperately trying to run from her family and the secrets she is forced to carry.  The last thing she wants is to be found.

Leo and Allissa soon meet and realize they just might have to rely on each other to escape the city that is not as peaceful as it appears.

This book was very fast-paced.  As I read it, I felt like the pages were coming to life.  The descriptions were so well done that this read like a movie.  The plot was great.  Character development was definitely there.  I was interested in not only Leo and Allissa, but the secondary book characters as well.  The only thing that irked me about the book was Leo's devotion to his disappearing girlfriend.  Dude, she left you 2 years ago.  If she wanted to be found, she would have made herself known.  Build that bridge and get over it.  (Besides she sounded like a total drag and he could do so much better)

I read this in a matter of days, and I was not disappointed.  It seems like it took me forever to get to this book because my TBR is out of control.  Now I'm kicking myself for having waited so long.  Don't sleep on this book-it's definitely worth the read.  Hong Kong-the second book in the Leo Keane timeline is out now.  If you have Kindle Unlimited you can read it for free.

Thank you for letting me escape into Leo's world, Luke.  You have a great book on your hands.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

 I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS?  Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...

Twisted by Emily McIntire

Man, I’m obsessed with these books. The Never After series is probably my favorite series of all time because each story is just SO 👏 GOOD 👏 This one is an Aladdin reimagining, where the Aladdin character is a whiney little bitch, the Jafar character, Julian Faraci is a snack, and poor little Yasmin Karam has no choice but to marry him and suffer under the weight of his muscles and good looks. I devoured this one. If there was one thing I could ask for in my life, it’s that Emily McIntire write more of these stories because I’m almost at the end of the series and I’m not ready. 😭 If you’re into dark romance and alternative views to the fairytales we grew up with, run, don’t walk to these. If you don’t like them, read them anyway. She just might surprise you.
