THE NIGHTENGALE

-


This was a magnificently written piece of historical fiction with truthful elements and recollections of World War II and a glimpse of the horror and terror brought on by Hitler and his regime. It tells a tale of two sisters and the life they lived full of angst, heartache, and love but most of all survival.

This is a MUST read. A ‘must read’ when the words on the pages become blurry and distorted as you try to hold back the tears! 💕

What’s Not True by Valerie Taylor Author Thanks to IRead Book Tours / Acorn Book Services, I was provided an Advance Reader’s Copy of ‘What’s Not True’ by Valerie Taylor. Even though it’s considered a standalone, the story began in ‘What’s Not Said’ where we find Kassie in an unhappy marriage and having an extra-marital affair with a younger man that she later learns is closer to her marriage than she ever could imagine which leads us to ‘What’s Not True’ where we find Kassie searching for her little bit of happiness with another trip abroad.  However, this trip just isn’t quite the same and receives news that cuts her vacation short and having to return home to the trials that await and never seem to go away.

A story of Friendships. A story of Love. And a Story of Forgiveness It’s a story tha

As a reviewer for iReadBookTours, I was very excited to read ‘What’s Not Said’ by Valerie Taylor. From the first page to the last, the reader is kept guessing how things will turn out. Kassie O’Callaghan is planning on leaving her husband and her long-dead marriage of the past few years, in order to be with a young man who pays her the attention she is looking for. Kassie’s husband, Mike, is a man that is not very likable and it is easy to want to see Kassie move on with her life. But Mike interrupts her plans of divorce due to a long-held secret involving a chronic disease. Mike needs Kassie to stick around and provide him the care he needs. Throughout the story, you see and experience the strained relationship between Kassie and Mike, and you find yourself just wanting them to be done.
