Pulse by Jeremy Robinson

When you read Pulse, you have to suspend your belief system. It's one of those fun book you need to just sit back and enjoy and not think too much about reality. Since the book involves an elite military fighting force, you can expect a lot of action and detailed descriptions of the soldiers weapons. It took me a while to identify with the characters because Jeremy Robinson used call signs rather than real names, which for me took away from the individuals in the story. But that wasn't what the story was about. It was to establish the Chest Team and the world the author was creating. And knowing Pulse is book one in a series, I realized that getting to know the four member team will come with each book. If you're looking for a quick, fun read, Pulse is for you. I will definitely look for more books in the series in the near future.

This Ain't No Hearts and Flowers Love Story Pt1 by Brooklyn Darkchild

First off, I’m not a romance reader. The title of the book, This Ain't No Hearts and Flowers Love Story Pt1, clearly indicates that this would not be a typical romance novel but I had my doubts at first. That was until I read the first page. Though the book talks about the harsh realities of abandonment, drugs and sexuality, it also has its fair share of humor and overcoming hardships. I was drawn into the story by the author’s writing. The characters were described in rich details and you were made to feel as if you are a part of Baby Girl’s life. The only difficult time I had with the book was with the font size. It was too small for the pages, but that’s my beef and should not deter other readers from picking up this wonderful novel.
