Don't let the world get in your way.

Sunrise at 6:30 in the morning, two weeks ago. I was on my way to work and I love sunrises and sunsets!



That's what I wanna do, get away one day. Following my dreams, doing what I love to do. I don't wanna live in this small town forever, so yeah, getting away one day is part of my dreams.



I made it. I was scared shitless but hell yes, it turned out great and I loved editing this book (I'm the editor of the revised version). If you like New Adult books, read 'Beneath Your Beautiful' by Tamsyn Bester (check out her Goodreads account). It was her debut novel and I loved the story.



Music became one of the biggest parts of my life, so of course I love my new bracelet.



Sunset a few weeks ago. These colors!

Bookreview: 'Bring Me Home' by Cassia Leo

Claire Nixon is a college student with a past full of secrets and heartbreak. She was saved once by her first love, and rock star, Chris Knight. But when she encouraged Chris to leave town to pursue his dreams, both Claire and Chris didn’t realize it would be the biggest mistake of their lives.

After a devastating year apart and thousands of miles of distance between them, Claire met sexy surfer Adam Parker. With his awful jokes and profound patience, he helped Claire pick up the shattered pieces of her broken heart for the second time.

But now Chris has returned and he is willing and determined to make Claire’s dreams come true—the same way she did for him when she let him go.

With Adam’s former girlfriend in the picture, Claire finds herself torn between the new, passionate love she shares with Adam and the love and family she shares with Chris.



Heartbreakingly adorable. Amazing. Romantic. Surprising. And the best ending.

Love is not black and white. It's not even gray. Love is every shade of color in the spectrum, changing with every ray of light given and stolen. Sometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.“

I'm still searching for the right words to describe this book in more than a few words. But first, I couldn't put it down.
After Pieces Of You, pretty much everything was possible. Claire got an engagement ring from Chris and a promise ring from Adam. But who would she choose?
Claire and Chris shared a deep love until she broke up with him so he could follow his dreams. She didn't wanna hold him back and even gave up their daugther without him knowing.
Claire met Adam when she needed someone the most and he was there for her and helped her survive one of the hardest times of her life.
Two men. Two different types of love. Two different lives.

Bring Me Home had so many surprising moments. Claire chooses one of the two men at the beginning of the book but that's not the end of the story. There's so much more, so many things that happen. Happy moments, sad moments, doubts and surprises. This book is anything but boring and the person who isn't happy at the end of this book did something very wrong. No matter if you were rooting for Chris or Adam, I'm sure that at the end you'll be happy for them all.

Again Cassia Leo had a way to describe what Claire, Chris and Adam feel that makes you excited for every upcoming page. I couldn't stop reading and that doesn't happen all too often. Sure there are some great books out there but I don't remember the last time I read a book in one day. But when I started Bring Me Home I wanted to know everything. Why did Claire choose the one she chose? What happens to the other great characters: Tristan, Senia, Jackie? Like I said there are so many things happening in Bring Me Home and at the end I was happy for all of them.

No one knows how to love me like you and no one knows how to hurt me like you.“

Music was an important part for this last book of the series and I love the songs Cassia Leo picked to underline the thoughts and actions of her characters. There are some of my favorite songs in there and they fit perfectly.

I can't believe this series is over and even though it leaves you wanting for more because you don't wanna let those characters go, I loved the ending. You fall in love with Claire, Chris and Adam, and at the end it's good to see them all happy, no matter what they had to go through, it seems like it was all worth it.
