Always You by Shilpa Mudiganti

A nice little small publisher is publishing all the genres I absolutely love! I especially love their slogan to "Be Enchanted" I love that! This is their debut novel for their publishing company and I absolutely love it!

Lyla has to move on. She’s been stuck in a rut since her heart was broken five years ago. Trying to decide about life with her fiancé, Nick, she resolves to finish one last project before moving to Spain and starting a new life. That is until she is face to face with the one man who broke her heart all those years ago, Alexander Knight.
Five years ago, when Alex and Lyla meet at his friend, Andrew's grave, they fall deeply in love. But, Alex is hiding a secret that will destroy his relationship with Lyla and does. What Lyla doesn’t realize is that Alex has changed since their break-up, because of her love, only she still has hate in her heart towards him. But now, fate has brought them together in such a way that they have no option but to remain dangerously close - dangerous enough for Lyla to fall in love with him again. How can she? Not after what she knows about Alex and what he did to Andrew. It’s true that love can change people for the better. But is it enough? What will happen when two broken people with a past come together? Can they forgive and heal?

My favorite character was Alex. While reading this book I kept picturing it on Lifetime, that is how good the book was to me.

Lifetime really should make it into a film, that would make my Saturday night.

This was such a good book. I highly recommend for everyone to read it, especially if you are a fan of Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts. This was a very good independent novella and it was well written and beautiful. I don't want to put spoilers on here because I want people to read it. This book has it all; mystery, suspense, romance and occasions where your mouth will be hanging open, and keep you turning the pages until you get til the end. I hope everyone enjoys it as I have!

The Hunger Games

One of my favorite books is now a movie. I loved how they kept it close to the original source. In the post apocalyptic ruins of what used to be America, the districts are divided into 12 factions. Because the factions were always at odds with one another the government made The Hunger Games a televised event in which each district will send in one girl and one boy from the ages of 12-17 to compete in a fight to the death tournament.

I liked the book, once you get past the first fifty pages and get into the part where Katniss is in the games the story gets really good. I highly recommend people see it.
