July Disability themed books
*A Touch of Fate - Cora Reilly|393 pages, Kindle Edition
After waiting years for the release, this one missed the mark! It was an okay read, I felt there was no overall development in the relationship between Samuel and Emma. Emma was the saving grace and hence my 3.5* rating. She was just so strong compared to some other heroines of Cora Reilly's and I loved Emma.
Samuel was decent, but he did have his A-hole moments especially when it came to their relationship. I felt the relationship revolved around their compability in the bedroom rather than getting to know one another and understanding each other.
Quotes
“I’ll catch you if you fall.” I couldn’t help but smile at his declaration. “That’s very romantic of you,” I teased.
"I might not be able to walk, but i'll carry your worries as if they're mine, Samuel. You don't have to shoulder all the problems by yourself. I'm your wife, and i'm here for you, always."
"She was a beautiful girl, a beautiful woman, now my wife. I wished fate hadn’t shackled her to me. So much darkness lay in her past, and I carried too much darkness for it not to stain her future."
*Out on a Limb - Hannah Bonam-Young|408 pages, Kindle Edition
This was such a wholesome and sweet book. I had a list of disability themed books on my list that I wanted to re-read this month but none of them called out to me so I reached out to others and this came highly recommended. Devoured it in a day.
This was my first from this author and I look forward to her other works.
Win and Bo are just ❤️ They just complimented each other so much and clicked. Their banter, romance, friendship was just amazing.
The writing was simple and just refreshing. I really enjoyed that there was some realism especially when it comes to certain topics.
Quotes
“It’s so much easier to communicate insecurities when you don’t need to communicate them at all. Isn’t that all we ever want? To be seen and heard? Validated, even when we’re not able to ask for it.”
“Perhaps that’s all Bo and I are. Two people leaving behind the worst, looking forward to the good to come.”
“I’m going to friend the shit out of you, Freddie McNulty.”
“Comic books,” Sarah says, snickering.
“I’ve seen what you read on your Kindle. You’re in no place to judge.”
“That’s the question I was going to ask tonight,” Bo interrupts. “Who in this world matters the most to you?” “You,” I answer simply, pleading with him to hear me. What I said and all that it means. “You,” he repeats. “It’s you for me too. With a very close second,” he says, his eyes on my belly.”
Knot My Type - Evie Mitchell | 240 Pages, Kindle Edition
This was a first for me from this author and may be my last. It was an okay read.
It was a quick Insta-love which is something I can get behind but if it was well done and had shown them falling in love, but there was a time jump etc. The concept was interesting and I really liked Frankie straightaway. But the relationship between her and Jay seemed way too rushed and it didn't feel like they had great chemistry because I didn't really read them bonding and falling in love.
Some of the dialogues were cute, I suppose. I wish I could have liked them, but it fell sort of flat.
I loved the cover of the book and thought this would be perfect especially following on from Out on a Limb. But was sorely disappointed. Thankfully it was a quick read.
Quotes
❝Frankie isn’t asking a lot. She doesn't expect you to be perfect.❞ Mai gestured at herself and the women beside her. ❝She loves us because of our imperfections. She'll take you as you are, Jay. She'll do whatever's necessary to build a future with you. All she's asking for—all she wants, is for you to do the same.❞
❝You're the kind of woman who should come with a warning label.❞
❝What? Loves trashy reality TV shows and fails at cooking?❞
❝Makes a man lose his goddamn mind.❞
