Wind und Wellen formten eine karge Insel, auf der sich Menschen ansiedelten, die als Fischer in einfachsten Verhältnissen lebten. Erst mit dem Aufschwung der Seehafenstadt Emden wurde Borkum aufgrund ihrer geographischen Lage für den stark zunehmenden Schiffsverkehr immer wichtiger. Die Insel wurde zum Lotsenstandort. Die Insulaner waren daher bei Emder, Hamburger und Amsterdamer Kaufleuten gefragt, als diese ihre Walfgangflotten zur Fahrt ins Nordmeer zusammenstellten. Mit dem Walfang erlebte Borkum eine Blütezeit, die mit den napoleonischen Kriegen und der Kontinentalsperre ein jähes Ende fand. Wer die Möglichkeit hatte verließ die Insel. Die Zurückgebliebenen durchlebten Jahrzehnte der Armut. Der aufkommende Tourismus führte Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts zu einem bescheidenen Wohlstand. Die Anfangs beschwerliche Reise nach Borkum verbesserte sich erstdurch den Einsatz von Raddampfern um 1850. Mit der Gründung des Deutschen Reiches 1871 erlebte Borkum einen Bauboom und wurde zu einem der gefragtesten Bäder an der Nordsee. Adelige und das gehobene Bürgertum verbrachten in den repräsentativen Borkumer Hotels ihren Urlaub. Allerdings war ein großer Teil der regen Bautätigkeit auf der Insel auch militärischen Gründen geschuldet. Denn die politischen Spannungen zwischen Deutschland und England drohten in einem Krieg zu eskalieren. Borkum wurde zur Seefestung ausgebaut um eine feindliche Invasion abwehren zu können. Die rege Bautätigkeit auf der Insel und die steigenden Gästezahlen erforderte eine zuverlässige Verkehrsanbindung der Insel. Dazu wurde bereits 1888 eine Landungsbrücke ins Wattenmeer gebaut und mit einer Kleinbahn ans Dorf angebunden. Für das gesteigerte Transportaufkommen wurden neue Fähren notwendig. Um diese zu finanzieren schlossen sich zwei Fährgesellschaften zu der "Aktiengesellschaft Ems" zusammen. Mit dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges endete abrupt das mondäne Badeleben. Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges hatte sich die deutsche Gesellschaft komplett verändert. Es gab kein reiches Bürgertum mehr, das sich exklusive Urlaube leisten konnten. Auf einmal waren preiswerte Urlaube gefragt. Trotz aller wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten gelang es in den 1920er Jahren die Gästezahlen durch große Investitionen wie den Bau einer Promenade und eines Flugplatzes stabil zu halten. Der Zweite Weltkrieg beendete endgültig die große Zeit der exklusiven Hotels. Es kam zu einem Strukturwandel im Tourismus. Die meisten Hotels aus der Gründerzeit kamen in öffentliche Hände und wurden zu Kliniken und Kinderheimen umgebaut. Nachdem 1968 die erste Autofähre zwischen Emden und Borkum den Betrieb aufnahm konnten die Gäste ihr voll beladenes Auto mit auf die Insel nehmen. Daher stieg die Nachfrage nach Ferienwohnungen ab den 1970er Jahren stark an. 1996 erlebten die Borkumer einen herben Einschnitt, als der Bundeswehrstandort Borkum geschlossen wurde. Dies führte zu einer nachhaltigen Veränderung des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Der Tourismus ist seitdem der einzige Wirtschaftszweig auf der Insel. Borkum ist heute Urlaubsziel für breite Bevölkerungsschichten. Allerdings führt der Tourismus und der steigenden Anzahl der Zweitwohnungen zu einer angespannten Immobilienlage, die es Borkumern erschwert eine Wohnung zu finden.

A sports romance debut that tugs on heartstrings!
Format: Kindle
“Unsteady” follows hockey captain Rhys Koteskiy and spitfire figure skater Sadie Brown after they enter a purely physical relationship to help them heal from their respective traumas. Their arrangement is meant to be temporary, but the more time they spend together, the harder they begin to fall. I had been wanting to read this book for quite some time and was not expecting it to get me all up in my feels! Both characters have their own struggles that the other comforts them through. At the novel’s start, Rhys is recovering from a traumatic brain injury he suffered on the ice. I appreciated how seriously Sadie took Rhys’ situation and helped him through his panic attacks (mainly with music) while fighting her own demons. Despite the walls she puts up to distance herself from him, Rhys sees through her anger. He stole my heart with how in tune he became to Sadie’s needs and the way he stepped in to take care of her and her brothers after he learned of their living situation. The pining and protectiveness had me swooning. While the friends with benefits trope isn’t my favorite, I adored watching their relationship transform from one of shared trauma to shared love. Their opposite personalities truly complement each other perfectly!

AMAZING Debut Hockey Romance!
T R O P E S 🏒 College Hockey/Figure Skating Romance 🏒 Cinnamon Roll MMC/Black Cat FMC 🏒 He Falls First 🏒 Friends to Friends With Benefits to Lovers 🏒 Found Family 🏒 Mental Health Rep R E V I E W I’m sorry. Excuse me. WHAT? How is this Peyton’s debut novel?! This book had NO BUSINESS being this good. IMMEDIATELY it is in the top 5 books I’ve read this year, and I’ve read nearly 125 books. I was blown away by how good this was and cannot recommend it enough. This book follows Sadie, a figure skater who has a hard home life but is determined to succeed this year, and Rhys, the captain of the hockey team who took a hard hit in last year’s Frozen Four and is now struggling with getting back on the ice. These two are some of the BEST MCs I’ve read in a while! Sadie has so much going on, between her skating career, working 3 jobs, trying to get custody of her two younger brothers from their alcoholic dad, and school in general, this girl is stretched thin, but she is a power house - small but mighty. I loved her spitfire character! She is so guarded, but understandably so. I loved seeing her icy exterior melt for Rhys. And RHYS. I think he might be my favorite Rhys to date 👀 . He is the perfect Cinnamon Roll, but he’s also going through PTSD from a terrible hit and struggling. He becomes so obsessed with her and honestly, I’m a little jealous. (Let’s not forget about the mouth on this man though 🥵 .) I LOVED them as a pair and the angst and tension between them was spectacular! I love how they pushed each other and how well they matched. The spice between them was perfection as well! This was such a good blend of character development, plot, and spice. I also have to discuss the amazing side characters. First of all, Sadie’s brothers are the stars of this show. Liam was the cutest thing on this planet and I just wanted to give Oliver a hug (but won’t because he doesn’t want to be touched). The way Rhys interacts with them and the whole storyline with them made me bawl. It was soooo good. Then we have Rhys’ family! His parents are magnificent and I need to know more about their story! And lastly, we cannot forget Rhys’ team. I cannot wait for more books about each and every one of them. They were all introduced so well and I KNOW there are going to be some fantastic stories told about them. I’m going to need this to be a series with all of the hockey teammates (Toren and Bennett both have me eyeing them up and I needed their books YESTERDAY). I’m also going to need a prequel novel about Rhys’ parents AND a next gen spinoff with Sadie’s younger brothers. This book is going to be a trophy I buy for my shelf so I can reread it and I will definitely be reading anything and everything Peyton writes in the future! The mental health rep in this book was chefs kiss. We saw them both struggling with their thoughts and emotions, saw them using each other for comfort, and saw them both getting true help. I loved that Rhys recognized he was using her as a crutch and sought therapy. We need more mental health rep that is done like this! Honestly, I cannot recommend this book enough. It had me laughing, blushing, and full on crying so many times. There was so much emotion, care, and love packed into this book. BRAVO Peyton on writing such a magnificent debut novel!

Love. Such a beautiful story!
Format: Kindle
Rhys and Sadie Gray meet at a point in their lives where they really need each other. Their initial impressions of each other are not that great and they start off on the wrong skates. These two are both struggling with their own issues and each carries their own stress differently. Rhys struggles with the aftermath of a traumatic injury while playing hockey. Sadie struggles with the weight of responsibility. Their story is not unique, but in this genre it's the first time I've read a story like this and it did not disappoint. It's such a beautiful story about love and staying steadfast in your conviction to stand by the person you love even when they don't think they deserve it and push back. The love Rhys has is unmatched and it reminded me of Johnny from Boys of Tommen. The author did an incredible job and I can't wait to read more from her.

Unsteady Review
Format: Kindle
This was my first book by the author and it did not disappoint. I loved how real and relatable the main characters were. From the mental health journeys they go on, and the things they deal with in their life. I felt like I could be their friend. I didn't want this book to end it was so good. It made me feel all the things: happy, sad, it made me laugh. And above all the representation of friendship in this was great! Will definitely read more of the author's books!
