Best Books I have read in 2018
My Review
Paradise Boundby Rafaele Desire is an amazing story of a young woman doctor torn between three lovers - a pilot, an artist, and an actor.
It was a difficult choice for her.
This book held my interest throughout because I have been to many of the places the author wrote about.
I visited Paris, Los Angeles, New York, the Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building, Hollywood, and sat on Malibu Beach, etc.
I also live on a small Caribbean island.
This book written by Author Rafaele Desire brought back so many memories.
The author’s vivid descriptions of the places Natalie lived and frequented kept me reading, and turning the pages.
This is a new author waiting to be discovered.
I loved this story and recommend it to all.

A Love Relentless by Ju Ephraime is a fascinating account of a love affair in Alaska.

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
I am happy that I came across A LOVE RELENTLESS written by Author Ju Ephraim.
I always wondered about life in Alaska and this book taught me all about that.
This was a fascinating and intriguing account of two lovers.
Liz left her village and learned to live independently after a failed arranged marriage.
She returned after a few years to decide if she should accept her deceased Aunt Edna’s gift of the expansive homestead.
Rohan was looking to purchase the property.
Their coincidental meeting because of Liz’s inheritance from her Aunt Edna brought them together in spite of Liz’s attempts to resist him.
The author related the story in a way that kept me turning the pages.
I could not put it down.
I loved it and recommend to all lovers of romance novels.

Review
A Long and Winding Road is an amazing story of love and bravery.
It is a story of the love for one's parents when they can no longer care for themselves.
It is also a story of bravery by two loving people who proceed on a seven-week trip on a forty foot motorhome taking along their ailing parents.
Of course, there were problems and chaos, but none bigger than the love shared by those four people.
The author did a beautiful portrayal of the trip and added some much-needed humour.
The book was never boring.
I recommend it to all.
