(I'm autistic) let's not describe autism as an epidemic, thanks.
There is a lot of "autism speaks" type language in this book and I don't like it one bit, I didn't even get past 40 pages. The kid is also described as having "mild autism,"(this is not a thing) while being one of those characters that also happens to be a genius. It is sheldon cooper levels of stereotype. Like the language is on the one hand saying that raising this kid is too hard and on the other hand the kid seems to be hypercompetent, so the premise where the music therapist works with children with coordination, I don't see how she could help unless she is magic.… (mais)

Review:
"Because Of Her" by Jewel E. Ann

My Sentiments:

The title...'Because of Her' says it all about this particular couple...Jackson and Francesca [Frankie] had a beautiful and tormented love story. Let's not leave out some other colorful characters...Eloise, Molly, Corinne, Archer, Slade, Jessica, Livy, and I will stop here...because there are even more interesting ones that help keep this story going...

This was some read that the reader will have to keep up with as we find Frankie has come to take care of her family's death wishes; however, what will she discover that will start her needing some answers about her nephew's death? Jackson also has some secrets as a trained assassin on his final mission. Will he be able to accomplish it? What I loved most about the story was seeing how Jackson's family came to help him when it was much needed. Now, what is all that about? The reader will have to pick up this read to find out.

Be ready for a twisted, intriguing, suspenseful, secretive, well-written, haunting story and an ending that will... Pick this one to understand how this author delivers it to the reader.

By the end, you will get quite an outstanding, fantastic read.… (mais)

I read SIncerely, Dane by Ilsa Madden Mills and this short story was such a sweet read.

This is a cute and fun novella that is part of anthology and I hope will eventually be a full length story. Dane and Piper went to school together from high school on and now that Dane’s twin bother is married to Piper’s best friend they end up spending a lot of time together. Piper has always crushed on Dane but believes he has her firmly placed in the friend zone that she just accepts their relationship as is until one night a text makes her think about more. Dane hasn’t had it easy in life, he derailed at one point, and his relationship with Ari fizzled out because deep down I truly believe he’s always felt like Piper was his. In this story Dane comes to Piper’s apartment dressed as a werewolves and so the chaos ensues. He recruits her to help with a scavenger hunt that ends with an epic ending/beginning. The tension between them was tangible, the chemistry off the charts, and the can they will they flowed off the pages. I rally hope we get more of their story!!… (mais)
