Bohemia by Veronika Carnaby

About

In her debut novel, Veronika Carnaby picks up where the Beat Generation left off. Set in 1960, Bohemia chronicles a group of twenty-somethings who defy the “ideals” of a mid-twentieth century society to seek creative fulfillment. In the process, they spotlight the creative path that artists of all mediums tread, all the while depicting the challenges faced by youth in the decade that changed the world.

My Review

At first I really liked this book. I found I could relate to the characters but there were parts where I got lost because I couldn’t follow along with the writing at times. I did like the characters and she does a good job of describing the scenes and places that they go. I found there were times where I would have to go back and reread parts of it so that I could understand what was going on and try and figure out where I got lost.

Every Perfect Gift by Dorothy Love

About

Book 3 in Dorothy Love’s Hickory Ridge Romance series.
Ethan and Sophie long to share a future together. But the secrets they’re not sharing could tear them apart.
Sophie Caldwell has returned to Hickory Ridge, Tennessee, after years away. Despite the heartaches of her childhood, Sophie is determined to make a home, and a name, for herself in the growing town. A gifted writer, she plans to resurrect the local newspaper that so enchanted her as a girl.
Ethan Heyward’s idyllic childhood was shattered by a tragedy he has spent years trying to forget. An accomplished businessman and architect, he has built a majestic resort in the mountains above Hickory Ridge, drawing wealthy tourists from all over the country.

When Sophie interviews Ethan for the paper, he is impressed with her intelligence and astounded by her beauty. She’s equally intrigued but fears he will reject her if he learns about her shadowed past. Just as she summons the courage to tell him, Ethan’s own past unexpectedly and violently catches up with him, threatening not only his life but their budding romance.

My Review

This book was amazing. I read it in less that 24 hours which is fast for even me. I instantly fell in love with Sophie and Evan. While I was reading the book I hoped that they would end up together because they seemed so perfect for each other. The author does a great job of describing things and also does a great job of keep the reader on the edge of their seats. I didn’t put this book down until I was finished with it and I am going to read the other books in the series along with any other books that the the author has written.
