About the Book
All of Chenille Abrams’ dreams came true the day she married NFL star Brayden Carpenter.  He’s the down-to-earth, loving, and protective man she never thought she'd find. And with her own successful career, Chenille plans to be more than just a famous athlete’s wife. She's determined to balance work, marriage, and motherhood, as the couple awaits their first 
child . . .
 
Until their son is born with a crippling heart ailment. Until a devastated Brayden starts putting his career above everything else. And when tragedy strikes, Chenille struggles to find a reason to go on—as Brayden takes comfort from anywhere but home . . .
 
Little by little, Chenille picks up the pieces as she and Brayden try to make their marriage work once more. But when he fathers a baby that the mother can’t keep, will this be the final blow? Or can they find a way past betrayal into unexpected hope—to at last have a future worth 
everything?

My Review
I was made aware of the author because she wrote Christian Fiction.  When I heard she was starting to transition to Women's fiction, I was excited and a bit nervous, wondering if was going to be so far off I wouldn't be able to read and support her future works.  I am glad to say, this was not the case.  Even though it's not Christian Fiction, this book was wonderfully executed and well read.  As you're reading, You will experience just about every emotion available,and then some.  There were several times I wanted to curse her out and call her every name but a child of God.  I would have thrown the book, but I couldn't since I was reading it on my kindle.  There will be some characters that you will just hate throughout the story (Jerod for example who I feel is still an a hole) , as some that you can see the growth and change as the story progresses.  One of the major themes throughout the book is love and forgiveness.  And that ending was one of the best ever.  I can't wait to see whats In store next year for the next new release.

Review of Hues by Anita Davis

Title:  Hues
Author:  Anita Davis
Genre:  Romance
Rating:  ❤❤❤❤❤

About the Book:  
Supermodel, Liv Summers, better known as Phaedra Winters to her hometown, is esteemed by the industry and her fans for her flawless beauty and matchless runway and shoot presence. Ten years in the limelight and hiding her true identity has kept her from getting close to anyone other than her assistant. Landing gigs, ripping runways, and nailing ads is never a problem for her, but keeping her identity intact and ignoring her growing attraction for a certain photographer is turning out to be the hardest parts of her career to date.

World-renowned photographer, Parker Anderson, has his annual shoot and exhibit coming up during New York’s fashion week. While he’s known to make any subject or setting he captures come alive, no ordinary model will do for him. There’s just one hiccup to making the concept for his annual spread transition from a dream to reality; Liv Summers won’t agree to do it. Not only is he pressed to get Liv to do the shoot, but in spite of vowing never to date another model, the pull towards her is too strong to deny. Will he find the right angle to win her over for the shoot and capture her heart?

My Review
I truly felt sorry for Liv, because even though she’s in the spotlight, she deals with what each and every woman goes through in her lifetime.  Struggles with self esteem and self doubt.  I loved the chemistry between Parker and Liv, and when Liv’s child hood nemesis/bully Shenelle came in the picture and started creating havoc, I wanted to slap some common sense in her.  I think my favorite part was when Phaedra’s father was introduced to Parker, and since he was denied a chance to play hardball regarding boys wanting to date his daughter when she was younger, he played his part well as the protective dad.  A wonderful story of believing in yourself and loving yourself for the person you are.  I am anticipating the next book in the series, especially since it didn’t end in a cliffhanger.
