Robyn Harding has done it again, I've loved all her previous books, so I had a feeling I would love the swap as well. Told from multiple points of view we follow two couples , one new to the island and the other have been living there for awhile. The island is infamous for the swingers that live there. One night and some magic mushrooms the couples decide to swap partners, or are rather manipulated to swap partners. Throw in a jealous teenager and a crazy mess the story becomes. Jealously, swingers, murder, a baby, abuse, lies, deception, sneaking around, secrets, manipulated, paternity issues and you can imagine that this is an intriguing, captivating read. Hooked right from the start.
Wow what a great pounding intense twisty read this was. Two women desperate to run away from cute l their current lives bump into each other in an airport. They switch plane tickets never to see eachother again. That one decision alters their lives forever. I WAS hooked right from the first chapter, and was definitely a book I could not put down. Told from dual prespectives Claire in the present and Eva in the past leading up to the plane crash. We disvover why Eva was so desperate to get away as her story unravels in the months that led up to her being in the airport. Raw, heartfelt story of two women on the run for two different reasons that felt like dissappearing was their only option to be set free. Fast paced, addictive truly a must read title to add to your summer reading

Trigger warning, abuse, addiction, rape, suicide.
Holy moly this was such an intense vivid read, very descriptive narrative, not for the faint of heart.
I always find books which such intense topics hard to review.
The authors writing style was able to suck me right into the storyand i quickly became addicted and emersed in the story and could not put it down. Through her vivid descriptions of events that occurred the character developed was also very well executed. I could feel the pain, sorrow, and hardships that the vanessa, the main character faced in the fight to escape the life with her abusive husband. It was very interesting to see how her story evolved once she got out of the house and how the abuse continued to appear and disrupt her life.
In the second part of the story we got to find a little more about her son's life, and the events that lead up to some huge tragedys that shock the vanessa to the core, where she made it her mission to get to the bottom of what happened to those two teenagers to get to the devastating place they both ended up.
You could see family was always Vanessa's main concern but at what costs to her current life can see endure.
This was such a hard read, but you were able to see how beaten this women was and how she put her kids and family always above her needs.

he second installment in the brown sister's series, which turns out to be just as steamy as the first. I love Hibbert's writing style, has an easy flow that is such a delight with vivid descriptions and great character and plot development. Once you start you won't be able to put this down! The humor in her books leaves you laughing out loud, and the steamyness is so well executed. If you like a quick, steamy, romance read this is the perfect book for you.
In this book we follow Dani, the middle sister, a hard working bisexual Phd student who enjoys casual hookups and has some commitment issues. Dani ends up on the internet trending #drrugbae #couplegoals with non other than Zaf, a pro ex rugby player following a fire drill at the University. They start to fake date in exchange for exposure for Zaf's charity. The only stipulation in the deal are neither of them are able to fall in love and no one stays the night. Sounds easy enough right?
