Review: A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid

Synopsis Lady Ophelia Darby exists in two worlds. In one, she is the impudent, willful daughter of a powerful marquess and darling of the ton. In the other, she moves through the underworld’s shadows as songstress Lady Starlight, protected only by the notoriously wealthy scoundrel Devlin Byrne. But when she stumbles upon her beloved father’s darkest secrets, the line between her two worlds quickly blurs. Now she needs the help of the one man a lady should never trust.

But having Ophelia is only the beginning of Devlin’s plans. It’s undeniable that Devlin Byrne is a dangerous temptation—but just as Ophelia begins to trust him, maybe even fall for him, she discovers she’s not th...

Poetry and Books: What else do you need?

  One of my many fears, is to find a stranger in someone I have known for years. # To one day realize, the person next to me, isn’t someone I should idealize. # To wake up from a dream, only to find out the people next to me, are not what they seem. # One of my many fears, is to trust someone, only to wake up, into the nightmares. # To look in the eyes of someone familiar, and find an unfathomable stare, giving away the disguise. # To take a leap of faith, and come crashing down, falling into an abyss. never again feeling safe. # To have my heart broken, into tiny little pieces, by the words that were left unspoken. # One of my many fears, is not being able to pick up the pieces left behind after, the dust of hurt clears. © 2021 Fizza Younis.

Review: How to Survive a Modern-Day Fairy Tale by Elle Cruz

She’s a quirky, people-pleasing bookworm with a degree in Women’s Studies and an internet cookie decorator all rolled into a five-foot-two package fueled by chamomile tea.
