Jess finds herself on a position no young girl ever dreams of when she thinks about her future. She’s on her own after ending her abusive relationship and she’s expecting. Her family is supportive, but how do ever work yourself out of hole that deep?

Nathan Frost has a criminal record. He’s done time. He wants to make a fresh start, but people are judgmental and refuse to believe a person can make bad choices and learn from them. But one look at the sad-faced pregnant girl in the library and he’s sunk. But how do you show a mother to be that there is more to you than meets the eye?

Stacey Broadbent captures the struggles of Jess and Nathan in a beautiful story of loss, love, and longevity. On the surface, there is nothing more pure than a mother to be and nothing more evil than a criminal. Broadbent examines the theme of never judge a book by its cover through Jess and Nathan and brings to light the need for less snap decision judgements and more heartfelt character examinations. Broadbent fills this budding romance with the best gift, the gift of hope, despite the many mistakes one may make. If you haven’t read Never Judge a Book then there is no time like the present to get turning those pages.

Jess
When I pictured my future, I never imagined I would be pregnant and on my own, but this is my reality. I had my baby to think about, and being with a lying, cheating man-child suddenly didn’t hold as much appeal.
Turning back to the one thing that has always grounded me, I immersed myself in books; the local library, my playground. That’s where I met him.

Kelly is a woman who decided long ago she wasn’t going to allow her past to handcuff her future. She knows her only way is to get out of her small town is to use her natural beauty to attain something more than the life she was born into. Liam is a man who is loyal to his family. He’s been the man of the house from a young age. His shoulders harness the pressures of everyone around him and he needs to breathe but there is no time. His devotion also opens him up to a heartache of the worst kind. With Kelly in need of leaving and Liam’s loyalty, the two seem destined to destroy one another. However, sometimes fate holds the strongest hand of all.

In true A. M. Johnson style she unfolds a love story which is not without epic walls and deep-seated emotion. Johnson’s Kingdom magically weaves the past with the present in a clever integration of perspective change from first to third and this stylistic choice sets Kingdom apart from most traditional novels. The running trope of a fairy tale turned real life drama also propels Kingdom up unto a pedestal of its own. Johnson’s twist in craft and style is one not to be overlooked. Kelly and Liam’s story is a deep-rooted love prose which is well worth the read.

KINGDOM

⭐️⭐️🌙🌙👑👑Blurb👑👑🌙🌙⭐️⭐️

Kelly Kavanagh was Liam’s happily ever after, his loyal princess. A lifeline to something better than any high school dropout could ever hope for…until the day she left to pursue a dream that didn’t include him and slowly his kingdom crumbled to the ground.

Liam O’Connell was the sun to Kelly’s everlasting moon, her painted prince. A strong and devoted soul to fight the war she was slowly losing against herself…until his promises had become lies and her dream was the only way she would ever survive.

They have more than just miles and time between them now. The twin fortresses they’ve built around their hearts are next to impossible to scale. But, when two parallel fates collide in life and in death, will the impact be powerful enough to break down their self-imposed walls?

Every love story starts with Once Upon a Time, but in real life there are no fairytale endings, and the prince who rescues you…will never wear a crown.

Rosie lives life to its fullest, but she knows the Grim Reaper nips at her heels. She’s a dreamer motivated by the gift of giving and doesn’t buy into the wicked ways of money and excess. She isn’t without her own kryptonite, but he’s off-limits. She’s built her walls and isn’t going to let him in to destroy her again.

Dean “Ruckus” Cole’s had his eye on the prize for years. Despite his riches and over indulgences, he’s still lurking in the shadows ready to pounce and take what’s his. She doesn’t know it, but he’s got her conquered and no is something he brushes aside when it comes to her.

In true L. J. Shen fashion, she writes the tale of the anti-hero and he comes out smelling like a rose. In Ruckus, Shen shows the good, the bad, and the ugly of Dean Cole and his rise to financial success. His life appears perfect in the eyes of his Hot Holes, but Shen shows the darker side of secrets and lies told to keep a young boy on a pedestal, yet every secret has its evil unveiling. Shen also builds an inner strength in Rosie through her difficult road dealing with her terminal illness. She is a heroine with a true ticking time bomb. The chemistry built between Ruckus and Rosie through dynamic characterization and the conflicts, which sucker punch these two characters, are well designed and keep the reader on their edge of their seat. Shen brilliantly handles Rosie and creates a beautifully well-told prose and only adds to the love every reader has for the original Hot Holes gang.
