Day 3 of my marathon of Diana's book and today it is Love Undone! I was so excited to read this book when i first received it and going through them again has reminded me how great they are!





I was so excited when i received the book. I am always over the moon to get my hands on a new book by Diana as none of the books i have read previously have been a disappointment!  As always this book has be hooked from page 1 and i read it in one sit! It consists of all of the emotion ,drama ,heights and fights you expect from Diana and on top of all this a brilliant plot!

Goodreads: 

What would you do if all your memories were gone? One day Kassie wakes up and realizes that her life is nothing but an endless emptiness… One tragic incident takes away everything that she has ever cherished and loved: family, friends and all the best moments that she ever lived through. Now everything seems unknown, including a beautiful stranger, whose mere look makes her heart beat faster. Who is that reckless and mysterious man? Is he just an old friend or an enemy? Sinking into the vortex of indescribable emotions, they will give in to the most irresistible temptation ever, just to fall in love with each other, again and again

We all treasure our memories , special moments in our lives such as weddings, birthdays , First loves  we commit to memory so we can look back on them with the loved ones involved and relive  that special feeling. But what would you do if you woke up and all those memories where gone? That is the situation that Kassie finds herself in! She awakes from an accident with a strange but good looking stranger in her room and no memories of her life. With people around her she tries to put together her life but she keeps remembering small things about her stranger new friend. With her memories slowly coming back, her feelings grown for a mysterious stranger, her body warning her to stay away from him and secrets surrounding her brothers death coming to light will Kassie get her happy ending and figure out who she loves and what she wants or is she destined to live in a world of secrets ?

 I couldn't wait to start reading this book. It is different to anything else i have ready by Diana.  From the first page i was completely hooked I was immediately hooked on the story-line of someone having no memory and having to trust the people around her with no knowledge how who she is. I was attached to the characters from the very first page. After that the story only got better! there was the ups and downs of Kassie and Daniels Relationship, the arguments and the fights, then the love and passion of there love with stood in direct contrast to the feelings of loss and sorrow over the death of her brother. you are on a roller-coaster journey, you just have to strap yourself in an go along with the characters. I enjoyed every minute! The storyline is brilliant, the characters are fantastic an all round engrossing book!


I loved Kassie! Although she has lost her memory she is still a really strong and passionate character. I  love how she stands up for herself and doesn't let Daniel walk all over her, however you do see the more vulnerable side to her. At times i want to slap Daniel but i loved watching the tension between the two of them. All the way though the book i was worried there wasn't going to be a happy ending but i was please to finally get my happy ending!



I must stay Diana did not disappoint this book easily stood up to the high standard of her other books ! Amazing !! If you haven't already you must read it! reading this can not do the book justice!

Goodreads:

Love lines series -The traces of supernatural powers have always been crossing the world of human beings. Many people know about the existence of healers, mind readers, oneiromancers and wizards. But for centuries their lives have been kept secret and no one has ever heard about one special place, where those gifted people studied.Neither has Eileen Clark, whose life has never been different from the one other teenagers have.But one day everything changes.

But, as it turns out later, Christian is in love with her too. They couldn't even imagine that many years ago their lives were bound by magical spells. But now they have to find out why...
 
 


I didn't no what to expect when i first read this book. I have read many super-natural books so was hoping this book wouldn't just be a cookie cutter of one of them and i have to say i was pleasantly surprised it was for from what i expected and far exceed my expectations!

Eileen is a Normal 17 year old girl, who is haunted by a dream!  In an attempt to understand her dream she goes with her best friend Amanda to a fortune teller where she is told her life will change forever! and she is not wrong  that day Eileen is taken to Dever a university designed for gifted people... and not just any gift supernatural ones!  Not only is she taken to Dever but her best friends family are one of seven founding members!

I can not praise this book enough, i literally can not find fault! it was just amazing! from the first chapter i was hooked! The writing style is clear and good and the story line is amazing. When reading this book you are constantly on your toe! the story-line is so cleverly weaved together!just when you think you have it the rug is pulled from underneath you.  you get bits of the puzzle piece and every time you think you know what is happening   something unexpected happens, you never get that one bit of the puzzle that will make it all fall in to place until never the end! I sat for ages think " oh she did it " or "he is involved" the i was completely wrong and that is what i loved most! this book has the most complex plot and hats of to  Diana i have never seen a more will well thought out and carefully laid out plot! The way everything comes together you are just sitting go wow!
Not only is the plot amazing but it has action, magic and romance!

I loved all the main characters in this book! Eileen is just brilliant! she's strong, confident and determined and made ma laugh so much! I loved Christian because part of him is so loving towards Eileen but at the same time he is so bad ass and can create fire with the flick of a hand! Amanda is so funny and her relation ship with Evan is a recipe for hilarious disaster! I Literally loved all the Characters all the Fairey family are my favorites along side Evan an darcy!

I promise if you read this book you will not be disappointed! it is amazing! and the book ends on a cliff hanger! i cant wait for the next book i need to no what happens and what will happen to Eileen and Christian!

Keep reading tomorrow for Love Undone

Louise (Book 1)

Diana Nixon


It doesn’t hurt to dream, unless you know your dreams will never come true

Since childhood, Louise Woods has wanted to become a dancer. The day she arrives at Le Papillon – a private cabaret club where men come to enjoy the beauty of women dancing, her life completely changes. Louise lives in the club and the rules of living and working there cannot be ignored or broken. Either you do your best to please the clients, or you are out. No flirting, no secret affairs, just dancing.

During her first public show, Louise meets a stranger who pays for the privilege to have her privately dance for him. He won't let her see his face, he won't even introduce himself, but he will make an offer that she won’t be able to refuse. He won’t make any hollow promises, but he will make her believe she is special… “I hate following the rules,” he’ll say, “but I do love breaking them.” Will she dare to risk losing everything she has, just to make the darkest of the stranger’s fantasies come true? Once the decision is made, there will be no way back…
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book the cover just made me want to read it so much more.

Louise has known nothing but survival and the inside of an orphanage her whole life... but one day that all changes when she is finally allowed out of her prison. unfortunately for her it is to find her new definition of hell. Forced to work as a dancer in a club Louise must play by a new set of rules where the price of disobedience is even higher. One day a stranger wants her to play by a whole new set of rules that can rather set her free from the club or destroy all that she has been working towards.

I loved the story behind this book a poor girl abandoned at birth forced to survive on her own in a mean world never really knowing freedom to finally get a little taste of it. As always with Diana's book i saw bits of it coming and thought " right i know what is going to happen" but as always there is little tricks and turns that you were not expecting.... in this case i was not expecting the whole last 3 chapters, i could not believe the end. There was parts brought in to the story that you would never expect. The book was brilliantly written and i found myself really getting involved with the characters.

I loved Louise as a character. She was a hard , tough female lead with just the right about of vulnerability. You really find yourself getting engrossed in her story. As for Will you cant help but love him. I think the story provides the perfect amount of danger and forbidden love.

Brilliant , Exciting , the perfect forbidden love with a fantastic twist

See below for a sneak peek


“Welcome to Jasmine Garden, Miss,” the driver, also known as the man in the suit said. At least there was one person I already knew.
        “Excuse me, what’s your name, Sir?”
        “It’s Christopher.”
        “Can I ask you something, Christopher?”
        “I’m not sure if I’m allowed to answer any more of your questions, Miss.”
        “But I’ll still try… Am I safe here?” I didn’t know if I could trust the driver, but he didn’t look like a serial killer, or anything. In fact, he made me feel secure.
        “Always,” he said without hesitation.
        Okay, that was a relief.
        Christopher got out of the car, went around it and opened the door for me. For the first time ever I felt like a princess arriving at the ball. I would probably need a dress for a real ball, but for now, I felt much better in my jeans and a sweater.
        “My boss is waiting for you, inside.”
        “Aren’t you going to come in with me?” I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be left alone.
        “Trust me, Miss, you will be just fine without me.” Christopher smiled and went back to the car, leaving me on the porch of the most beautiful house ever.
        Inhaling deeply, I took a step closer to the main doors. Even from the distance, I could see they were open. I came closer and gave the doors a push. They opened with a soft rustle and I found myself standing in the middle of a round hall, with a transparent ceiling and an endless staircase leading to the second floor.
        “I’m glad you could make it,” the familiar voice said.
        I tried to turn around, but my stranger wouldn’t let me. “Don’t,” he said, holding me by the shoulders. “You are not allowed to see me, remember?”
        “No one knows I’m here.” The scent of his cologne reached my nostrils, I could feel him standing right behind me. What if I take a step back? Will he embrace me or push me away? I didn’t know where those thoughts came from. It just felt so good to be with him again…
        Are you hungry?”
        “Not really,” I said, still dying to turn around. Maybe coffee was not enough to keep me alive for the rest of the day, but right then and there, I doubted I would be able to make myself eat.
        “You need to eat... I don’t want you to faint in the middle of your dance next Sunday.”
        “I don’t work next Sunday.”
        “I know. But you will dance for me.”
        “Why waste your time on a trip to the club if we can talk here and now?”
        “I didn’t say anything about talking. I said I would come to watch you dance.”
        “Then what am I doing here?”
        “I wanted to ask you the same question… I didn’t expect you to come, even though I hoped you would… But you are here, and I can’t stop wondering what made you decide to accept my invitation?”
        “Did I have a choice?”
        “You always have a choice.”
        “Your invitation didn’t sound like a choice, it was more like an order.”

        The stranger leaned closer to my ear, saying, “If I had wanted to order your presence here, you would have been here a long time ago.”
