Ivy in Bloom #ARC Review
Ivy In Bloom captures the weariness of a young girl tired of a long winter. "I stare out the window," she says on the first spread of brown and gray, "looking for birds or flowers/or even warm showers/but I don't see any such thing." But then Spring comes when "March is out of breath...snow melting to flowery waters and watery flowers...spring rose from its wintry rest." And Ivy's "heart dances with daffodils." As these words also dance across each spread, Ivy's world erupts into a riot of color.
Ivy In Bloom introduces the poetry of Dickinson, Longfellow, Browning, Wordsworth, Frost and others. Excerpts from their writings, as seen through Ivy's eyes, will open up poetry as a way for children to express their own feelings about the changing of seasons. This book includes longer excerpts and brief bios
of each author.

A Crack in Everything
I was a city girl with humble dreams. Then Dylan O’Dea broke into my flat, held me against the wall and told me to stay quiet.
It was like in the movies, where the universe zeros in on a single scene. I looked into his eyes and knew he was going to change me.
For Dylan, the sky was always falling. He showed me how our world is a contradiction of beauty and ugliness. How we choose to ignore the awful and gloss over it with the palatable. How you need just a tiny drop of something unsavoury to create every great scent.
Pretty deep for a pair of teenagers living in a block of council flats in inner city Dublin, right Probably. But we weren’t typical. We both had our obsessions. Mine was growing things, Dylan’s was scent. He taught me how to use my nose, and I introduced him to the magic of flowers.
I had no idea that one day he’d build an empire from what we started together. But before that, there was love and happiness, tragedy and epic heartbreak…
My name is Evelyn Flynn and I’m going to tell you about the crack in everything.
A Crack in Everything is Book #1 in L.H. Cosway’s Cracks duet.
Sinopse
A vida costumava ser
simples.
Eu era uma menina da
cidade com sonhos humildes. Então Dylan O'Dea entrou no meu apartamento, me
segurou contra a parede e me disse para ficar quieta.
Era como nos filmes,
onde o universo zerava em uma única cena. Olhei nos olhos dele e soube que ele
iria mudar minha vida.
Para Dylan, o céu
sempre estava caindo. Ele me mostrou como nosso mundo é uma contradição de
beleza e feiúra. Como nós escolhemos ignorar o horrível e aceitar o brilhante.
Como você precisa apenas de uma pequena gota de algo desagradável para criar
todos os ótimos aromas.
Muito profundo para um
par de adolescentes que vivem em um bloco de apartamentos no centro da cidade Dublin, certo?
Provavelmente. Mas não éramos típicos. Nós dois tivemos nossas obsessões. A
minha crescia em forma de flores, a de Dylan
era um perfume. Ele me ensinou a usar meu nariz, e eu o apresentei a magia das
flores.
Não fazia idéia de que
um dia ele construísse um império do ponto onde começamos juntos. Mas antes disso, havia amor
e felicidade, tragédia e desgosto épico ...
Meu nome é Evelyn
Flynn e eu vou te contar tudo começou a rachar.
A Crack in Everything é o Livro # 1 do duo
L.H. Cosway's Cracks.

Jack Valentini isn’t my type.
Sexy, brooding cowboys are fine in the movies, but in real life, I prefer a suit and tie. Proper manners. A close shave.
Jack might be gorgeous, but he’s also scruffy, rugged, and rude. He wants nothing to do with a “rich city girl” like me, and he isn’t afraid to say so.
But I’ve got a PR job to do for his family’s farm, so he’s stuck with me and I’m stuck with him. His glares. His moods. His tight jeans. His muscles.
His huge, hard muscles.
Pretty soon there’s a whole different kind of tension between us, the kind that has me misbehaving in barns, trees, and pickup trucks. I’ve never done anything so out of character—but it feels too good to stop.
And the more I learn about the grieving ex-Army sergeant, the better I understand him. Losing his wife left him broken and bitter and blaming himself. He doesn’t think he deserves a second chance at happiness.
But he’s wrong.
I don’t need to be his first love. If only he’d let me be his last.

Theo MacLeod wasn’t supposed to be the one.
Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldn’t have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend.
He wasn’t supposed to kiss me.
My heart wasn’t supposed to pound.
We weren’t supposed to spend the night together—the hottest night of my life.
One night turns into a snowed-in weekend away, and even the blizzard of the century can’t cool the fire between us. I can’t get enough—of his smile, of his body, of the way he makes me feel.
We’re nothing alike. He’s a daredevil, and I’m a nervous Nellie. He’s a drifter, and I want to put down roots. He’s an opportunist with a checkered past, and I’m a Girl Scout volunteer.
But none of it matters when I’m in his arms.
I know he’s made mistakes. I know his wounds are deep, and he doesn’t trust easily. I know he doesn’t believe he could ever be enough to make me happy, but he could.
All he has to do is stay.

Synopsis
EVEN THE BROKEN, THROUGH LOVE, CAN FIND GRACE...
Secrets never stay hidden.
The burden of guilt never lifts from the heart.
Born and raised in The Order of David, Sister Phebe knows nothing but cult life. Head of the Sacred Sisters of New Zion, Phebe was groomed from childhood for one purpose: to seduce. Prized as a harlot, as a New Zion whore, Phebe is taken from the doomed cult by Meister, the notorious leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. Taken as his possession. Taken to be the woman who will obey his every sexual demand. Under his heavy hand, Phebe finds herself in a place much worse than she could ever have imagined... with absolutely no one to help. And no glimpse of hope.
Xavier ‘AK’ Deyes is content with his life as Sergeant-At-Arms of the Hades Hangmen. Leader of the infamous ‘Psycho Trio’ and ex-special ops sniper, AK knows how to fight. Experienced in warfare and schooled in military operations, AK is vital to the Hangmen. When his Vice President needs help retrieving his missing sister-in-law, Phebe, from a Klan-funded trafficking ring, AK volunteers to go in. AK remembers the redhead from New Zion. Remembers everything about her from the single time they met—her red hair, blue eyes and freckled face. But when he finds her, heavily drugged and under Meister’s control, her sorry condition causes him to remember more than the beautiful woman he once tied to a tree. Saving Phebe forces hidden demons from his past to return. A past he can never move on from, no matter how hard he tries.
As AK fights to help Phebe, and in turn she strives to help him, they realize their secret sins will never leave them alone. Kindred broken souls, they realize the only way they can be rid of their ghosts is to face them together and try to find peace.
Despair soon turns to hope, and damaged hearts soon start to heal. But when their deep, painful scars resurface, becoming too much to bear, the time comes when they must make a heavy choice: stay forever damned; or together, find grace.
Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and very mature topics. Recommended for age 18 and over.

Sinopse
MESMO QUEM ESTÁ QUEBRADO, ATRAVÉS DO AMOR, PODE ENCONTRAR A GRAÇA ...
Segredos nunca ficam escondidos.
O peso da culpa nunca sai do coração.
Nascida e criada na Ordem de David, Sister Phebe não conhece nada além de vida que teve em sua seita. Chefe das Sagradas Irmãs de New Zion, Phebe foi preparada desde a infância para um propósito: seduzir. Apreciada como uma prostituta, uma prostituta de New Zion, Phebe foi retirada desta vida por Meister, o notório líder da Irmandade Aryan. Tomada como sua posse. Tomada para ser a mulher que vai obedecer a cada uma de suas demandas sexuais. Sob sua mão pesada, Phebe encontra-se em um lugar muito pior do que ela jamais poderia ter imaginado ... com absolutamente ninguém para ajudar. E nenhum vislumbre de esperança.
Xavier 'AK' Deyes está contente com sua vida como Sargento-de-Armas do MC Hades Hangmen . Líder do infame 'Psycho Trio' e ex sniper, AK sabe como lutar. Experiente em assuntos de guerra e instruído em operações militares, AK é vital para os Hangmen. Quando seu vice-presidente precisa de ajuda para recuperar sua cunhada, Phebe, de um anel de tráfico financiado pelo Klan, AK se oferece para ajudar. AK lembra-se da ruiva de New Zion. Lembra-se de tudo sobre ela na única vez em que se encontraram - seus cabelos ruivos, olhos azuis e rosto sardento. Mas quando ele a encontra, fortemente drogada e sob o controle de Meister, sua triste condição faz com que ele se lembre mais do que a bela mulher que ele uma vez amarrou a uma árvore. Ao salvar Phebe , ele se vê obrigado a enfrentar a força de demônios escondidos de seu passado . Um passado que ele nunca conseguiu deixar para trás, não importa o quão duro ele tente.
Como AK luta para ajudar Phebe, ela por sua vez se esforça para ajudá-lo, eles percebem que seus pecados secretos nunca os deixarão livres. Com as almas quebradas , eles percebem que a única maneira com a qual eles podem se livrar de seus fantasmas é enfrentá-los juntos e tentar encontrar a paz.
O desespero logo se transforma em esperança e os corações danificados logo começam a curar. Mas quando suas profundas e dolorosas cicatrizes ressurgem, tornando-se demais para suportar, chega a hora de fazer uma pesada escolha: ficar para sempre condenados; Ou juntos, encontrar a graça. (grace)
Dark romance contemporâneo . Contém situações sexuais explícitas, violência, temas sensivelmente fortes e tabus, linguagem ofensiva e tópicos muito maduros. Recomendado para maiores de 18 anos.

Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Stagnate or venture out?
Always venture out, even if it sometimes causes you to suffer .....
This is undoubtedly one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Not only for all the plot that is strong and very well built, but also for all the references used by the writer to bring to life wonderful and captivating characters.
After all, who does not love Beauty and the Beast, Cyrano de Bergerac, The Wizard of Oz and Shakespeare? There's no way you can not fall in love, can you?
"Books allow people to be who they want to be, to escape from themselves for a while."
The synopsis focused on the figures of the protagonists Fern and Ambrose and forgot to mention the character who truly stole the scene: Fern's cousin Bailey , boy who has an illness since childhood that blocks the movements of his muscles and is so very beautiful more than words could talk. Thanks to wisdom of this being of light the main characters could live a beautiful story of love and overcoming.
Fern is a shy girl, that was a true Ugly Duckling, with her vibrant hair, metallic smile, glasses, body without curves and sweet attitudes, with so much affection and dedication takes care of her cousin Bailey and nourishes a platonic love for Ambrose.
Ambrose, by contrast, is the most popular boy in town, all because of his beauty and strength. Always being compared to the greek hero Hercules. Rejected by his mother and raised by his stepfather, he ends up feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to always be the perfect guy and that is what makes him make a decision that will change his life forever.
Bailey is a joyful boy who did not let his illness destroy his light, also takes care of his cousin with all the strength of his pure and loving heart and conquers all around him with his joy and optimism, he just could not conquer who he most dreamed of having In his arms. It's impossible not to fall in love with him and not want to be #teambailey for the rest of my life. He brought an injection of hope and courage into my heart even though it made me suffer so much.
The book brings all the adventures and anguish lived by these three characters who have known each other since childhood, telling in poetic and romance how their lives are intertwined and will always be to eternity. And it's that literary dream of living with those characters that Amy Harmon brought to my reality.
My heart ended radiantly this reading that was so well narrated in the third person in a fluid and fast, showing how it is possible to see beyond appearances, as always with the right support people can overcome the adversities and how beautiful is true love.
.
The first cover is fantastic and passes well the message of anguish and pain of the character, but the birthday cover shows a Fern so well represented that I did not resist and bought it too.
6/ 5 stars
Kisses, Myl
