Book review: WHIRLWIND, by Alison Rhymes


Seattle Blades #4

Tyson & Kit

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alison Rhymes writes riveting books that grab the reader from the get-go.  I already knew Tyson and Kit from previous books in this series, and was delighted to read their love story.

In Rainfall, I loved Tyson, I actually liked him better for Isla than Cillian because of Cillian’s actions.  So I was happy to see that this is his story, and I loved that he gets such an interesting and quirky heroine.  Kit sees herself as weird, but as the story evolves, we see that she has a brilliant mind that never rests.  She seems to be processing data all the time, or retrieving information from the immense memory server in her mind.  She’s interesting and full of fun trivia!


Tyson is evolving, from feeling sad that he lost Isla, to feeling jealous that Cillian now has everything he wanted, a family, with the woman he loved.  When he meets Kit, he’s intrigued and as he gets involved and starts to fall in love with her brilliant mind, he starts to question what he felt for Isla.


The story is incredibly romantic and emotional, evocative as Tyson compares what he had and what he now has, funny/tender as we read about Kit’s cute quirks.  There’s a dark story about Kit’s childhood, very sad, and it affected her sexuality.  It’s lovely to see Tyson worried and supportive, and helping Kit get over it. I loved every word and enjoyed it immensely.

Book review: JUMP ON THREE, by Julia Wolf

Savage Academy #3

Ivan & Evelyn

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super cute!  Everything you want to see in young adults attending high school!  A fantastic group of friends, a bully we all love to hate, meetings at the school cafeteria, and as a super bonus, an enchanting young woman who is in the spectrum.  Evelyn is Delilah’s twin sister, she’s autistic and she delighted me with her very deliberate manner.  From what I know of autism, she’s highly functional but she does have her meltdowns and her quirks. I found her fascinating!

Ivan is from Russia, his father is a powerful businessman who has all seven of his children under his thumb.  As in, he directs their whole life, where they study, who they marry, where they work, where they live.  At the moment, Ivan is happy with his life because he likes Savage Academy and he’s entranced with Evelyn.  He works nights at a nightclub his father co-owns and I loved when Evelyn crashes into his workspace and enchants the manager and the bouncers.


There’s not an inordinate amount of angst or spice, what I mostly read and hugely enjoyed is a guy and the girl he likes learning to deal together and her situation.  Ivan has a lot of patience and understanding and when he fell, he fell hard.  Evelyn takes a more cautious approach, deliberates every step of the way and is no less enchanting as she evolves.


I loved their texting, Evelyn’s desire to step out of her routine, the close and loving bond she has with her twin Delilah, the knitting classes she gives Rhys (Delilah’s boyfriend), the sheer kindness she shows everyone, notwithstanding the treatment she has been shown by some, and the way she awakened to love with Ivan.  It was a sweet, lovely story, and Evelyn is a delight!
