My Thoughts
The Littlest Pet Shop was one of my favourite toys to play with as a child! I had collections of pets from home pets to zoo animals. My favourite collection was the zoo animals especially my jungle pets. I can still remember the hours I spent playing with them and setting up my own zoo and play area for my animals.

My Thoughts
Adventure, suspense, romance and everything in between! Breaking the Story has all of this and more.
Our main character, Scottie (from Merry Mary), is a strong female lead who is still healing from the toxicity of her marriage, possible separation and concerns about her career. She is being pulled in many different directions as she struggles to deal with her own personal identity. When she heads to a presidential election party, she never would have thought this was the turning point in her life. She is faced with a huge decision that will impact her morals as a photojournalist and as a person.
She meets a handsome young man, whom she turns to in desperation with the images she has captured. What she never would have thought was that he was holding a huge secret that would compromise her trust in him.
Adventure, romance and healing all tied up in one book. I loved every moment of Breaking the Story. Scottie is a strong female lead that you just can’t help but fall in love with. Her morals and forgiveness are tested throughout this novel but she always comes out stronger in the end. It is a novel that builds up and does not disappoint at the end. You will enjoy each turn of the page.
