Review: The Money Honey

The Money Honey by Clarissa Rodgers-Briskleigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A story of a broken dancer learning how to get through life. After a disaster in the theatre, Miranda jumps at a proposition to spend time with a wealthy man for money. She doesn't expect it to be as pleasant as it was. But as her life goes, disaster follows and she decides she needs to look out for number 1 in this world and if that means using her body to get it so be it.

I enjoyed this novel, it is an intriguing but easy read, the part that surprised me was the multiple choice ending. I chose to read all 3 endings as they are all so different. I enjoyed Run and Enemy, but not so much Destiny. But this is something you will need to decide and judge for yourself.

Review: Lost Girls

Lost Girls by Graham Wilson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will admit it took me awhile to get into this book. I think that even though this can be read as a standalone it would be better to read the series in order. It will make this one easier to understand at the beginning. Once I got into the story however I couldn't put it down. Hearing the stories of how the girls met Mark and then 'disappeared' was enough to keep me glued to the pages. I won this book as part of a Goodreads giveaway and I am glad I had the chance to read it.

We That Are Left

We That Are Left by Lisa Bigelow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Australian story about the women left behind during the war and the pressures that they face. It is a story of courage and strength. Not knowing if her loved one is alive and taken captive or indeed died in the attack on the Sydney. Mae chooses not to give up hope even when everyone else has. She believes that he will be found, but eventually agrees she has to keep paving the way for her and Katies future. Alice out on the farm and pregnant has to learn how to manage a farm and a family by herself now that Jim has been announced dead. This story shows how love is gained and then lost, how much family meant during times of war and how much the ones left behind struggled mentally. Women working in what has been known as a man's world is a great leap for woman's rights, but not something that the men left behind take lightly and they make it known. The way that Lisa writes about locations and events is very descriptive and helps to set the mood and theme of the story. I really enjoyed reading this novel. Thank you (Goodreads giveaway)
