Wicked Awesome Book Review

I’m reblogging my own post. Doesn’t say much for my creativity at the moment, I know. But it’s my kids birthday and I’m too busy constructing a guitar-shaped cake to do much more than hit the “reblog” button.
so . . .

Cheers!

1095As the title of this post suggests, I am posting a book review from onlinebookclub. And it’s for MY book, September Rain, released earlier this year.

I’m going to do the honorable thing (not) and post the parts I like best, but you can read the original, full length post here.

Prepare yourself: it’s a freaking awesome reviewby an official reviewer named Sara Clay!

Number-5


I give September Rain 4 out of 4 stars for the cohesive display of complex plot.

I devoured this novel in two days, sacrificing obligations and sleep. With heaviness and bags under my eyes, I must say that I am impressed.

September Rain: Book 2 Savor The Days Series by A. R. Rivera

A Suspense/Contemporary Romance Novel published by Amazon Digital Services (05/05/15)

Summary:

“Because I knew that the small stuff is what destroys a person. Only with Angel, nothing was ever small. Even the littlest things were mountains in her mind. She would sweat everything and the more her troubles piled up, the more I felt the need to drive them away because just watching Angel try to deal with stress was painful.” – Avery (Kindle Locations 3011-3014).

Angel Patel is in jail for something that her best friend Avery did, even if she’s indirectly at fault. It has been six years and Angel has slowly come to terms with being behind bars, because she blames herself for what happened. During another one of her case reviews, the story and the fascinating twist will come to light that may even surprise Angel…
