Heartbreaking trauma caused him to become mute and he has not spoken a single word in 10 years.

I always find soulmate AUs to be really sweet and this story is no exception. The added obstable of Alec's muteness adds an interesting element of suspense and tension that I liked. The relationship between Magnus and Alec is so incredibly adorable that you will fall in love with this couple many times over. Be sure to give this story a try! It's so worth it!

Book Review: Promise Me We'll Be Okay by Nell Iris

What do you do when your past comes knocking?

Six hundred and ninety-five days. That's how long it's been since Jude's fiancé broke off their engagement. With the help of his brother and his all-encompassing love for music, Jude glued the broken pieces of his heart back together, but when his ex shows up on his doorstep late one evening, Jude fears it will fall apart again.

Two years ago, Vincent made a terrible mistake. He left the love of his life for stupid, ill-advised reasons. It took a traumatic event to bring what was truly important in his life into focus. Older and wiser, he's now ready to do whatever it takes to win Jude back.

Their chemistry is as explosive as ever, but will they be able to work through the real issues? Can trust once broken be rebuilt?

This is a sweet, pretty uncomplicated read. All of the characters are likable and I enjoyed watching this small slice of their lives. Although I was happy with the overall direction Jude and Vincent's relationship took, it felt like it wrapped up a little too neatly and easily. To be honest, I expected more of a fight, but all in all, it was a pleasant second-chance-at-love story. The side character, Benji, really stole the show and I would love to see him get his own book one day.

3.5 stars

I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily provided my honest review.

Surprise Second Chances and New Life by Amelin_Nisa_Tales

Surprise Second Chances and New Life by Amelin_Nisa_Tales

Attending Clave/Downworld meetings is hell for Alec and Magnus, especially since they haven't spoken to one another since Magnus walked away from him outside the Institute's infirmary. How will they fare with a surprise guest appears and turns both of their lives upside down?

I. Love. This. Story. It is filled to the brim with strong emotion and angst, but it isn't so heavy that you'll feel weighed down by sadness. You'll feel for Alec and Magnus as they try to keep up appearances, yet remain broken inside without one another. However, the arrival of unexpected guest forces them to confront their feelings and examine their future...together or apart. 

I highly recommend this story! You won't be disappointed!
