Review: Havah - Tosca Lee

In the beginning ............ Though , it is coming up to Christmas and normally I should be doing Christmas books about Jesus, this one is for the women in the world.  This is a story about Creation and life - a story about Eve aka Havah.
Review: Havah - Tosca Lee - August 2010
In the beginning , God saw that the world was empty so he created Man in his own image , God then saw that Man would be lonely, so he put the man to sleep and with one of the man's ribs he created a companion for man and called her woman. Who were these people ? Man's name was not Tarzan but Adam and Woman's name was not Jane but Eve. However after reading Havah, I discovered that Havah in fact is another name for Eve. In most novels that we read about the Creation and the beginning times, they tend to be from Adam's perspective but it was great to finally read a story from Eve's perspective as she comes across life in the Garden of Eden, the birth of her two sons Cain and Abel , the temptation to eat the fruit off the Tree of Life - what was going through her mind when the serpent ( satan in disguise) tempted her to pull the apple from the tree and take a bite and of course handing it over to Adam to take a bite.  Then of course, what happens next is the disappointment by God who then proceeds to exile them from the Garden of Eden into the big bad world of Reality. What I never noticed from reading the bible and the Adam and Eve story is the lengths that Eve went to in order to try and get back into God's good books as she really did care for him and his ways and wanted to follow life his way. Though of course, to me the story of Adam and Eve does show that even though we were made in God's image , we are after all human and subjected to sin , but unlike those times before Jesus we are able to ask for his forgiveness and repent for the sins and be allowed back from exile into his kingdom.
Havah by Tosca Lee is a great read and an amazing biographical tale of Eve also known as Havah. It spins the tale of her walk with God through the good times and the bad.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
