Grey -E.L.James review

Grey is the fourth book from El James and is about Christian and Anastasia relationship (fifty shades of grey) but from Christians point of view. It is good to read it from his point of view as you can see and understand partly why he was the way he was. Also you see that he loves her from the first time he sees her even though he doesn't realise this till the very end of the book. I loved reading this book and I sympathised with Christian and was eager to get to the end to see how it ended. I felt that by reading this I got to know the character of Christian a little but more. El James left it as a cliffhanger so I hope there is another.

This book is an amazing read and I give it 5***** I loved it and can't wait to see if there is another one. Sorry it's a short review but don't want to spoil it for those that haven't read the book yet.

The Secret Of Ella & Micha Review.

Hey everyone.

First of all, I would just like to apologise that it has taken me so long to do this review. I actually finished this book, maybe a week and a half ago, but I've been super busy. What with doing overtime at work, and then with my family being away in Spain (lucky buggers) I've had to house sit too.

In all of the chaos this week has bought me, I have finally found a perfect little moment, for me to chill out and do this review for you :)

So, if you read my review for 'The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden' then you will know that I fell in love with the author Jessica Sorensen. Straight after I had finished book one in the Callie and Kayden series, I picked up the first book in the Ella & Micha series.

This book was lovely. I already kinda thought I would like it, but I loved it, and it just made my love for Jessica Sorensen even stronger. I felt as though I could relate to these characters maybe a bit more than those in the Callie & Kayden series.

This story is about two best friends, Ella & Micha, who sadly have to part ways after a devastating event that occurs in their lives. However, they don't stay parted for long, as Ella soon has to come back to her hometown and has to face seeing him again. The book is about their constant battle, between being best friends, and being a little bit more than that. I loved the fact that they were both bad-asses, I loved the fact that we could tell they soo wanted each other, I loved the fact that in some pages, the sexual tension between them is almost unbearable. Now, please note that this is not an erotica novel, but it does have some saucy scenes in it. No-where near as bad as FSOG etc, but just enough to tell you, that this thing is serious!!

I really enjoyed this book, there isn't one thing I could fault about it & as soon as pay day rolls around, I shall be buying the rest of the series. In fact, I'm probably more excited about carrying on this series, than the Callie & Kayden series. Don't get me wrong, I loved both books immensely, but something about Ella & Micha drew me in.

I gave this book 4 stars on GoodReads.

Until next time,
Happy Reading!

My weight loss journey

Hi I'm Sarah and I thought I'd share with you my weight loss journey. As I said in a previous blog recently I'm trying to lose weight and it's hard I've only been at it two weeks so while I'm so early in to it why not share with you people and let you know how I'm doing. I guess I should start with why I'm doing this. 

I've always been a big girl, I love my food too much especially chocolate crisps and all things junk. I had a child n said I would lose weight after. My son is now 3 so as you can see from the date I'm writing this, that's not really happened. 

I was getting dressed one day and caught a glimpse of my self naked and I really didn't like what I saw so decided to do something about it . I joined a slimming world group and started to see what I ate wasn't good for me. I hate going into a shop and seeing all the amazing things I can't wear because they don't do my size, so I have a target and when I get there then I'm going to reward myself with new clothes. I'm currently a size 20/22 and am aiming for a size 14. I know I can do it I just have to have the willpower to do it. 

So since starting this group I have lost 4 pound now I know it's not much but a loss is still a loss. So every time I do something great or lose a bit I'm going to reward my self and keep motivated to do this.  If you have any ideas on how to keep motivated please share and I will keep you all updated ! Thanks for reading this. Sarah x 

Forever bound beauty!

Hey beautiful people,

As you may all know we originally started this blog purely for our love of book which we shall continue but as our love for beauty and fashion is just as equal we have decided we would share all our beauty trick and fashions finds along the way too. 

We are four girl of different ages who all have different taste in beauty and fashion as well as book.

Kind of like the spice girls, you see if we was the same it would be boring.

I'm Diana I would say my style is girly but with comfort , I like to look sassy and smart even tho I don't always , as I'm writing this I'm in bambi pj lol so SASSY . Navy is my go to colour when I'm out on the town with being more curvy i feel it suit me more and is a little different to the LBD . A blazer or leather jacket are my fAvorite fashion items. My  make up I keep very simple but I change my lipstick to whatever my mood is the darker it is the more attitude I have .

I'm Danielle & I like girly outfits, with a sometimes subtle hint of grunge mixed in there. My favourite combo at the minute is my pale blue ripped skinny jeans, with a grey top, thats long in length, but is also backless, paired with my heeled black boots that feature cut outs and gold buckles. Like Diana, I am also curvy, usually wearing a size 16 - 18,  but that wont stop me from wearing what I like! I was a self-taught / training make up artist. Day to day, at work etc, I wear very minimal make-up, but occasionally when I go for a meal, I'll go full hog, with the contoured face and falsies & that's pretty much my style!

Hey I am Emily, I would say I have a hipster and edgy style, as I do like my beanie hats and pumps but I also like girly stuff as well. My favourite fashion item at the moment would be playsuits, I just love them, they are good to wear in the summer weather but also they are great for night out outfits. In regards to make up I like to keep it simple but appropriate for all occasions, I really do love lipsticks and decent mascara. Most of my cosmetics are from Rimmel, I did try MAC foundation and that made me break out in so many spots,so I would say its not always about the cost it's about finding the make up that is suitable for your skin and more on the lines of quality. My fashion icons that I look up to at the moment are Kendal and Kyle Jenner.

Hi I'm Sarah, I don't really have a style or a look, you see I'm a big girl and I guess i just put on what ever is comfortable and don't bother with makeup. I'm a big girl and don't think anything would suit me or make me look better. So I am in the middle of losing weight and I know that once I get to a size I am happy with I know what I want my style to be, I want to wear vintage as I look at some of their clothes and fall in love, some of the vintage dresses out there are gorgeous and when I'm the right size I know I can pull it off and look good. As for make up if I do wear any I like Browns and nice colours that don't really stand out. 

So that's what I think I'd like my style to be.  

Anyway that's a little about us so until next time stay BEAUTIFUL x 

Diana beauty favourite at the moment

These have amazing lasting wear to them and the feel really nice one , not sticky and too make me fall in love with these even more is they only cost me 95p what a bloody bargain lol.

The last lip product I am loving is Rimmel London Kate moss lipstick 03 which is a beautiful nude. 

I have found an amazing new face cream Olay complete radiance illumination which is a moisturising lotion with light reflecting particles and with spf 15 I don't Have to worry about those beautiful sun rays hitting my face.i swear this has made my skin better I will even have no foundation day now !!! 

The next product I have been loving is this hair oil called Semi D Lino Diamond Cristalli Liquidi this is like a drink of water for your hair , it hydrates As well As bringing shine and heat protection. A must for those who have damage or naturally dry hair.

Another thing I've been loving is a free sample of Clinique high impact mascara this thing gives me volume and length and I love it! I'll defo be buying the full size when this one runs out.

The last beauty favourite and has been a favourite for a while is montage jennesse mask I love all of these. They are a great way to destresss and a lovely little treat for yours skin with some many to choose from they will defo have one for everyone.

"A Midsummers Nightmare"
By Kody Keplinger

Hey It's Emily here.

Today I have decided to write a blog post on my current read, which is a book called "A Midsummers Nightmare" and it's By Kody Keplinger.

I like any type of genres but one of my most favourites is chick flick. This book is a total chick flick, those who love chick flicks will definitely love this book. I would class this book as a great summer read.

Kody does an outstanding job in portraying the characters in the story plot and also how she writes the book, she does it in an easy and simple way. As soon as I picked up this book I was in love and was instantly hooked.

Okay so maybe you want to know what it is about.... well here is the blurb just for you...

"Whitley's dream summer of shopping, partying and tanning on the beach has just turned into a nightmare. Because her dad didn't tell her he doesn't live by the beach any more, or that he's got himself a fiancée, a fiancée whose son just happens to be what-his-name from last week's drunken graduation party hook up.  As if summer couldn't get worse. Dad seems to forget Whitley's even there. She doesn't fit in with his perfect new country club family and Whitley does what any girl lucky enough to go all summer unsupervised does: she parties hard. So hard that she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose"

I suggest you go and read it!
Oh and just to add I had a tweet from the author! ;)

The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden.

Hey.

So about an hour ago, I finished one of the best reads I have had this year so far.

'The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden' by Jessica Sorensen is a romance novel, about two young adults who have had very difficult pasts, coincidentally meeting again when they realise they're at the same college.

This book is incredible. I fell in love with all of the main characters, they're so relatable & I felt really attatched to this story. I knew I was going to love this book, after only reading 17 pages and already feeling a part of their world. It's such a good read and I would recommend this book to people who like the authours Cora Carmack and Abbi Glines. I love the relationship between Callie & Kayden, I also love the reason why they end up seeing each other a bit more too. Their relationship is adorable and all the way through the book, I fell in love with them more and I was sceaming at them, through the pages to JUST GET TOGETHER!!

I'm not going to go into to much detail as I don't want to ruin the story, should you now want to read it, but it faces some very touchy subjects about abuse, which some people may find upsetting to read about.

The book was easy to read & easy to follow. I loved it! So much so, I'm going to order the second book in this series tonight.

Overall, I gave this book 4 stars on GoodReads. The reason it wasn't a full 5 was simply because, I felt like the ending was very sudden. You don't see it coming, so I wasn't very satisfied when I turned the page over to realise that it had ended! However this story is enthralling & I now have a new favourite authour to add onto my list.

Until next time,
Happy Reading.
Danielle.

Precocious by Joanna Barnard

Hey everyone.

So today I finished Precocious by Joanna Barnard. I was kindly sent this book by LoveReading to review. This book is out in the UK in July.

It's about a woman who fell in love with her high school teacher when she was just 14, and how they meet again later on in their lives, when she is married and he is single, and a steamy love affair begins. However don't be fooled into thinking that this book is an erotica novel, as it isn't. This book faces some very serious issues, which some people may find challenging to read, however,  I personally really enjoyed this book. I found the main lead very relatable, and I became emotionally attatched to her. The book was written incredibly well & I couldn't put it down towards the end. It was so different to what I had been expecting but in a rather good way & one thing that made me really happy, was how the novel ended, it was truly satisfying.

I rated this book 3 stars on GoodReads, as at times I did feel like I wouldn't enjoy it, but as I got deeper into the story, it grew and grew on me.

Until next time,
Happy Reading,
Danielle.
