Delving into various aspects of the author’s life and Zimbabwean culture in general, this literary project speaks to both those familiar with Weston’s life as well as those who may have missed some of his experiences. For those feeling compelled to also share their life stories, this book serves as a proxy for their thoughts. I relate so readily to most of this book, having shared similar situations around our executive roles in the financial services sector, community assignments including our footprints in church schools and parishes, the sporting world of squash and golf as well as race relations in the working environment.  With eloquence and depth, the author weaves a story that resonates with citizens who experienced life under varying political eras: the robust colonial Rhodesia, early independent Zimbabwe and the current state of affairs – offering a comprehensive view of the last half century. Despite the author’s extensive travel and exposure that enables the book to cater to a global audience, the narrative remains grounded in Zimbabwean settings. Across its magnetic pages, the author’s storytelling captures intimate moments, personal insights and vivid anecdotes, adding flavor to the whole project. The author generously shares personal and family insights, including some content that I think would be more suitable for posthumous publication. This book is a testament to a life well lived, providing timely and insightful storytelling. I invite you to delve into its pages and explore the rich narrative crafted by the author – a privilege and honor to experience. What an honor it was for me.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
