Review: If You Believe in Me by Natalie J. Damschroder


Note: This ebook was provided by Entangled Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The last time Amber Benedict saw Kale Riker was two Christmases ago. With yet another Christmas fast approaching, she seems to be the only one still holding out hope that Kale will be returning home safe and sound. After months of not hearing word from the military about Kale's whereabouts or condition, even his parents have given up hope. But Kale is alive and is desperate to get back to Amber, even if it means struggling with his current injuries. Has he waited too long to make his way back to her to let her know he's ready for them to settle down? This Christmas, Amber may finally get the miracle she's been waiting for.

If You Believe in Me is a short Christmas story from Natalie J. Damschroder and is a really quick read that I think can be finished in less than half an hour. Amber and Kale are in love, but Kale is in the military and most of his missions are top secret. When he's reported as missing, his parents and most of his hometown assume the worst and give up hope for his return by Christmas. Amber is the only one who still believes that she'll get the man she loves back. Their story is filled with hope, something that's often doubly brought about by the Christmas season. Short but sweet, If You Believe in Me gets 3.5 stars out of five. ♥

Date Read: 06 November 2015

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...
