Don't Call Me Greta

Don’t Call Me Greta is a poignant story filled with intrigue, adventure and the struggle of family loyalties.

When the police arrest Piper Winslow’s mother, claiming she stole a newborn infant seventeen years ago, Piper is shocked. When she learns she was the baby, her life is destroyed.

Piper’s birth family is about to reclaim her to a life as foreign as the birth name they gave her–Greta. What can Piper do while her world crashes around her? Run, of course.

And run she does. Piper’s plans are nearly foiled when her brother’s annoying best friend joins her. Despite close calls, they elude authorities. All she wants is time to digest her new fate.

Unfortunately, her birth family has unlimited resources and Piper is discovered. She is delivered to a family with a glowing image, but it turns out not all of them are happy to see her.

As Piper tries to cope in her new world, she hits obstacle after obstacle. This family that appears so perfect on the outside, harbors secrets, and nothing is as it seems…

Will she ever be fully accepted?
Will she ever fit in?
Will they ever stop calling her Greta?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I was excited to try a new trope as I have never read a “stole at birth” novel. Plus, since I enjoy this author writing I was happy to give it a try.

Piper/Greta has a life altering news given to her. When you think you know everything to find out you have been lied too is something else. She is left a mess. She runs away to not have to deal with her “real” family. I am sure anyone would feel this way if they had been found to have been stolen. She leaves with her best friend to try and figure things out.

The story is written so well and when we are given some little foreshadowing about things to come, I was shocked I did not figure things out!! LOL The story was well written and leaves you with lots of tears and emotions.

I loved it the story.

Bullet Book 1 by Jade Jamison –
When I meet Ethan in college, I am instantly drawn to his good looks, wit, and charm. And when he tells me he’s in a band, I’m completely smitten. We become fast friends outside the classroom, bonding over our mutual love of music.

But for me, friendship is not enough. Unfortunately, Ethan keeps me firmly in the friend zone. In fact, he seems intent on pushing me away and breaking my heart. On moment, he acts like I’m his whole world and the next, he’s as cold as ice.

Ethan’s buried something deep inside, something he won’t talk about, but it makes him self-destructive. How can he love me if he doesn’t even love himself?

And how can I save him when he doesn’t feel that he’s worthy of salvation?

“This book stole all of my emotions from me for the rest of the day… maybe the rest of the week…. Plus, my raw, open, still beating heart is sitting on the couch next to me from this emotional journey. W.O.W. freakin WOW. This book is AMAZING.” Ellie, Love N. Books

***PLEASE NOTE: THIS BOOK WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ONE VOLUME UNDER THE TITLE Bullet: An Epic Rock Star Novel***

On the Run book 1, Jade Jamison –

From Book 1: They say things come in threes…like sex, drugs, and rock & roll.

Love is not part of that equation.

But tell that to my heart.

From the first moment I met CJ Slavin, I fell for him hard. It was as if everything else in my world muted: the album my band was about to release, the coast-to-coast tour we were preparing for, all the adoring fans who were going to eat us up. Even the drama and bullsh*t from my bandmates couldn’t bring me down when CJ was around.

Lick, Book 1 by Kylie Scott

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man in her room, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

One thing is certain, being married to one of the hottest rock stars on the planet is sure to be a wild ride.

Rock and a Hard Place book 1 by Angie Stanton

From Book 1:

When you fall in love with a rock star, anything can happen. . . .

Libby In an instant, Libby’s life went from picture-perfect to a nightmare. After surviving a terrible car accident, Libby is abandoned by her father and left with her controlling aunt. A new town, a new school, no friends—Libby is utterly alone. But then she meets Peter.

Peter The lead singer in a rock band with his brothers, Peter hates that his parents overly manage his life.

Constantly surrounded by family, Peter just wants to get away. And when he meets Libby, he’s finally found the one person who only wants to be with him, not the rock star.

But while Peter battles his family’s growing interference in both his music and his personal life, Libby struggles with her aunt, who turns nastier each day. And even though Libby and Peter desperately want to be together, their drastically different lives threaten to keep them apart forever.

Review by Twinsie Angie

Original Review HERE from December 2012 (Be kind. I had just started blogging and reviewing…LOL)

New Review

I was given this audio book from the author for an honest review.

I read this book when I first started blogging and 6 years later when the author offered an audio I jumped.

I enjoyed the narration of the story and the narrators voice was enjoyable to listen too. Sometimes a bad narrator can make a book not so enjoyable.

I still enjoyed this story like I did 6 years ago. I loved the theme of family and dreams plus wants and desires.

I am still not a huge YA reader, but the story of Libby and Peter did pull at me. I will say the entire time I am reading of Peter and his brother being rock stars I kept seeing the Jonas Brothers in my mind. LOL The story has deep themes and Libby will just slay you with her sweet and innocent persona.

I don’t get much time to “reread” but I am so glad I grabbed this audio when offered. I remembered loving this story and it hasn’t changed for me at all.
