Beauty From PainGeorgia Cates UNEXPECTED 5 STAR READ Very few books draw me in like Up in the Air, All In, Gabriel's Inferno, Bared To You, etc., but this book did. After reading This Man earlier in January, it was hard to find characters and a storyline that would keep me up all night, but thanks to Georgia Cates, I now have Laurelyn and Jack. This story had me riveted from the first page when Jack proposes an unusual arrangement to Laurelyn upon her arrival for a 3 month summer visit to Australia. She accepts and they embark on a HOT relationship. I won't call it a romance because neither one agrees to that, at least at first. I loved the Australian setting but I will admit I had to look up a few slang words. Sanger- sandwich Oldies - parents Coldie - beer Brekkie - breakfast Favorite quotes: "You treat me like I'm somebody instead of a nobody." "I've been wanting to devour this mouth since the first time I saw you." "Jack, you don't always know the true worth of a woman's love until it becomes a memory." There is a cliffhanger ending, of course, but the author treats us to a delicious Prologue. The sex between Jack and Laurelyn is super HOT but I really felt a connection between the two, thanks to Ms. Cates' writing. More Jack please! And make it quick!

A beautiful, beautiful book about tragedy, life, love and forgiveness. Kacey has been through a terrible tragedy and flees with her little sister, Livie, to Miami to begin a new life. Kacey has sacrificed her own dreams of college to take care of her younger sister and put her through high school. They move into an apartment complex with a cast of characters including wonderful new friends and one gorgeous neighbor, Trent Emerson. Kacey tries to numb her emotions and tries to push everyone away who cares about her. I absolutely loved how this story unfolded and I found myself really rooting for Kacey to overcome her past tragedy and let her emotions in! There is FANTASTIC chemistry between Kacey and Trent. I also loved the other characters, especially Kacey's little sister Livie. A wonderfully written book that does not disappoint.Ten Tiny BreathsK.A. Tucker

Sins & NeedlesKarina Halle SYNOPSIS: Ellie Watt is used to starting over. The daughter of a grifting team, Ellie spent her childhood being used as a pawn in her parents' latest scam. Now she's much older, wiser and ready to give her con artist life a rest. But returning to the dry desert town of Palm Valley, California means one more temptation than she bargained for - Camden McQueen. Once known as the high school weirdo, Camden is bigger and badder than the boy he used to be and a talented tattoo artist with his own thriving business. Ellie's counting on Camden still being in love with her but what she's not counting on is how easily unrequited love can turn into obsession over time. When Camden discovers Ellie's plan to con him, he makes her a deal she doesn't dare refuse, but her freedom comes with a price and it's one that takes both Ellie and Camden down a dangerous road. I wish I could do justice to this book but I am not eloquent enough. This is a stunning story that will break your heart, thrill you and leave you wanting much, much more. It is difficult to write a review of this book without giving away any of the major plot twists. Karina Halle is a very gifted storyteller with an incredibly sensitive voice. I stayed up very, very late to finish this book. I could not wait to see what path Ellie and Camden would take. And oh yeah, there is some very graphic and steamy sex. It is very gratifying to find an author who can surprise and thrill with such a great story. There is a very satisfying cliffhanger (you'll see what I mean!) and thankfully more books planned in this series. A prequel novella, On Every Street, is coming on March 12th, featuring the "torrid love story" of Ellie and Javier. Shooting Scars (TAT #2) is coming May 13th, 2013 Follow Ms. Halle on Twitter @metalblonde www.experimentinterror.com Facebook www.facebook.com/Karina-Halle

SYNOPSIS Hanna Boudreaux has lived in the small town of Willow all her life. She's sweet, cute and quiet. Hanna has a moment of epiphany when she realizes her crush for forever, Raiden Ulysses Miller, is not ever going to be hers. She sees her life as narrow and decides to do something about it. Raiden Miller is the town's local hero. A former Marine with the medal to prove his hero status, he comes home, shrouded in mystery. It takes a while, but eventually Hanna catches his eye. After all these years of Raid and Hanna living in the same town, the question is why? Is Raid interested in Hanna because she's sweet and cute? Or does Raid have something else going on? OUR REVIEW We have had a love affair with all things Kristen Ashley since we first read Knight last year. Yes, Knight was our first foray into Kit's world, and we have never looked back. We have read almost every single one of Ms. Ashley's books. Each of her series are highly recommended. Our blog is new so we have not posted all of our reviews yet but we can discuss each character at length, and yes, we have read every Rock Chick book. You can imagine our excitement when we were selected to receive an ARC of RAID. We could not believe it! Who can resist a book that even had us highlighting the Author's Note? "I have many heart's desires and one of them is the slim chance that my books will guide women to accepting themselves as they are, having confidence in their bodies, brains and beauty and letting all that poison go so they can enjoy their lives, including sexually. ROCK ON, KRISTEN! We would like to think that there is a litte bit of Ms. Ashley in the character of Hanna. She is sweet, she is cute, she is trusting, she has a cat, she hand-knits afghans for a living and she lives in a small town. She has been crushing on Raiden Miller since she was a young girl. When he returns to town a war hero, and he finally notices her, her whole world is turned upside down. Of course, this would not be a proper Unfinished Hero book without a lot of danger, a lot of graphic sex and one HOT ALPHA MALE. You get all that and more with RAID. We confess that we re-read KNIGHT and CREED in one day while in the middle of reading RAID. Favorite Quotes: "Prefer to be with a woman who's cute and shy and obviously into me. Means I can save time and get straight to shit that matters." - Raid "I'd crawled across a room for Raiden Miller. And it was him, not me, who stopped it because I didn't like it. Which made me look back and like it." - Hanna Hanna is Raid's reward. We loved this book and would have loved a little more interaction with the other unfinished heroes who appear in this story (this is a stand-alone book but you should read KNIGHT and CREED in that order). With that said, where can we find us a Raiden Ulysses Miller? RaidKristen Ashley

Badass bikers! Sex! Mayhem! Beauty! Coffee! Classic KA. Review to follow. P.S. Hot as fuck Epilogue.Own the WindKristen Ashley

"Sheer beauty." 6 rockin' stars for Ally and Ren's story! What's not to love about Ally Nightingale? She's tough, she's smart, and she feels everything right down to her bones: "Backing up a bit, my name is Allyson Nightingale, but everyone calls me Ally. And I'm a Rock Chick, in name and deed." YES! Everything we absolutely love about the Rock Chick series is packed right into the last installment: gorgeous, real women, hot Alpha heroes and SUPER hot sex! And of course, like the previous Rock Chick stories, Ally vehemently denies her true feelings for the gorgeous Ren, but lucky for Ally (and us!), he knows what he wants, and what Ally wants (and needs), too! "I don't fight fair, baby. I fight to win." "And not one of them looked like you look when I slide inside you, every fucking time I slide inside you. Like a piece of you has been lost and now it's found." Ally and Ren are TOTALLY hot together! And the storyline is pure Kristen Ashley, pure emotion, lots of action, some danger, a few misunderstandings, but above all, lots of strong, hot men and lots of strong, gorgeous women! All of our beloved characters make an appearance in Rock Chick Revolution and there's even a very familiar name (*cough*cough) thrown around. I laughed a lot and I started crying at the introduction. The road to Ally and Ren's HEA was a bumpy one but of course it ends in pure beauty and perfection, as only KA can do: "Because when I had to be a badass all day and cases got tough and I came home, or when life just sucked, or when life was awesome and going along fine, I knew this was what Ren Zano would give me. Always. Exactly what I needed." ROCK ON!! *A copy of the book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.*

Magnificent! Review to follow closer to release day.

Stunning, emotional book. Completely surprising read. Please don't shy away from this book due to the war-time setting. Wounded is an emotional, satisfying story of two souls brought together by the harsh realities of war. Rania is a beautiful Iraqi woman who had to resort to prostitution at a very young age in order to simply survive. She is shut down emotionally until by chance she meets Hunter, an American fighting in Iraq. They cannot communicate at first due to the language barrier but learn to communicate in other ways. "He is asleep. So handsome. I do not understand what is happening to me. From the first moment I saw him, something in him called to my blood and made it sing." - Rania Ms. Wilder delivers some very lush and explicit sex scenes between Rania and Hunter which were an unexpected surprise. "Rania. Her name is music. Her eyes are veiled pools of expression. She hides behind anger, behind toughness. It's all an act. I see the pain. See the fear. See the need. She's lonely. She hates what she does. " - Hunter The author is a gifted writer with a a sensitive voice. Wounded is not filled with light-hearted scenes, but it is ultimately a story of love and understanding that will leave you fulfilled at the end.

If you want a completely suprising and enthralling read, this book is for you. Reaper's Property is a SCORCHING romance with a super hot biker named Horse. And yes, his nickname does refer to a certain part of the male anatomy! We usually don't give a synopsis in our short and sweet book reviews, but just by way of background, Marie has fallen on hard times and is trying for a fresh start by moving in with her loser brother, Jeff. Through a series of incidences told through flashbacks (which we loved, by the way), Marie is taken as collateral by Horse, a member of the Reaper's Motorcycle Club. There is a lot more to Horse than his bad-ass persona. We really loved how Ms. Wylde describes the inner workings of a MC. Not sure if it's all accurate but boy is it interesting! They have their own code of ethics and do not operate like the rest of the "civilian" world. This is a rough book and um, it's not exactly a traditional "romance". Who knew there was such a distinction between a "sweet butt" and an "old lady"! All we can say is BRAVO to Ms. Wylde for creating one of the most memorable bad-ass alphas out there. ***fans self*** We can't wait to read more Reaper's MC! Reaper's PropertyJoanna Wylde

4 1/2 D/s stars! With a suspenseful plotline!

Five stars to Sempre. Deeply felt, moving love story of loss and redemption. Carmine and Haven will fill your dreams.

A powerfully written story that will take your breath away. You will not be able to tear yourself away from the story of Sophie and Ian. The writing is flawless and the character development perfect. Unforgettable first-kiss scene! Seriously, this book needs to be made into a movie. Put this at the top of your to-read list for 2013.

Imagine my pleasant surprise when I ended up with an ARC of Walking Disaster. I was even more surprised to be immediately drawn inside the sensitive, loving and intense head of Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox. Walking Disaster contains no surprise story lines; it is the story of Beautiful Disaster told from the POV of Travis. You do not need to have read Beautiful Disaster first, but I highly recommend that you do, in order to understand some of the nuances of the story and the characters. Travis is loving, he is sexy, he is kind, he is sensitive and he is very, very caring. Yes, it's true! Jamie McGuire has created a wonderful caring male character who will become the new book boyfriend to lots of fans. Travis and his family lost their beloved mother at a young age. Her last words to Travis were, "One of these days you're going to fall in love, son. Don't settle for just anyone. Choose the girl that doesn't come easy; the one you have to fight for, and then never stop fighting. Never stop fighting for what you want." These words serve Travis well when he meets his match in Abby "Pidge" Abernathy. Travis knows immediately that Abby is very different from the endless parade of girls that he has been with. He is aware of his bad-boy reputation, but in his mind, he has always been nothing but totally honest with every girl he has ever been with: "She was my opposite: innocent on the surface, and damaged deep within." I was a little frustrated at Abby's stubbornness in constantly pushing Travis away, emotionally and physically, but smart and sexy-ass Travis takes his mother's advice and fights hard for Abby! "I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. It turns out it wasn't something about you at all. It was just you." I love a book with an alternate POV, so Walking Disaster fit the bill for me. I enjoyed reading the Las Vegas and fighting scenes from Travis' POV. You will not believe what an intelligent, caring and loyal character Travis is. Finally, the author also treats us to a wonderfully surprising and satisfying Epilogue that I can only hope will lead to much more Travis and Abby! Walking DisasterJamie McGuire

CollideGail McHugh This book has haunted me since I finished. Emily, Gavin and Dillon really got under my skin. I so wanted for Emily to leave her boyfriend Dillon and be with Gavin, with whom she felt an instant attraction the moment they met. But she felt bound to Dillon and he uses every narcissistic trick in the book to keep her. Emily's confusion over her feelings for Dillon are at first understandable - he did help her through some very tough times - but then I found myself yelling at her to leave Dillon and be with Gavin! The sex scenes I this book are really really hot but I wish there had been more! I don't want to give away any spoilers but I did enjoy catching a glimpse into what a relationship with a true narcissist might be like . My heart broke a few times during this book, it was a much darker read than I originally expected. There is a doozy of a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see how this story concludes. Oh and by the way, Gavin Blake is HOT and is a new favorite book boyfriend!

Stunning book. Very emotional. Full review to follow. Be prepared to stay up until 4am reading!

4 1/2 beautiful stars. Loved it. Review to follow.

Beautiful BastardChristina Lauren LOVED THIS BOOK. Holy hell, the sex is hot! It comes early, it comes fast and it comes HARD. Pun intended. It's interesting that some reviewers looked at this as a negative but the fact that Chloe and Bennett have sex almost at the beginning of this book is very much a part of the narrative. They then work backwards and develop their relationship and emotional connection from there. I couldn't put this book down. I might be one of the three people in the world who did not read The Office but apparently there are some major differences between the original Twilight fanfic and Beautiful Bastard. I loved how Bennett and Chloe were loved and respected by everyone else but they could not seem tone be civil towards at each other. Also loved the back and forth POV's between the two characters. This book is not for everyone but it is a treat worth reading. I can't wait for more of Bennett and Chloe! (ARC provided courtesy of NetGalley.)

We loved his book! There is a menage and explicit BDSM involved so this story might not be for everyone. Ms. Dalton does a wonderful job of developing the the main characters Kade, Leah and Seth, and exploring the the deepening relationship between the three. There is explicit D/s scening so be warned. And the sex scenes are STEAMY. Sequel for Tony? Pretty please?

It's difficult to write a review of a book that ends one of my favorite series ever. Did I want Olivia and Caleb's story to end? Absolutely not. I have been obsessed with these characters ever since I first read The Opportunist. Was I satisfied with the conclusion? Completely! Tarryn Fisher does not give her readers hearts, flowers and rainbows, she gives flaws, secrets and twisted emotions. You have been warned. I absolutely love a male POV and Tarryn really delivers in Thief. The first two books in this series, The Opportunist and Dirty Red, are absolute must-reads before Thief, and the entire series belongs on your immediate to-read list. A perfect 5-star story.

You will yell at the characters and also shed a tear or too! We thought we despised Leah but to the author's credit, Ms. Fisher does a fabulous job of telling Leah's backstory. And she does disappoint. We do not like to give away any spoilers, but trust us when we say that you will be shocked, saddened and stunned by this book! Oh Caleb! We still love you! Can't wait for Thief!

WOW what a surprising book! Fabulous story and characters and we could NOT put this one down. These are not your usual cast of characters, they make terrible mistakes and some are filled with anger and dishonesty! We love love love Caleb. You will immediately feel the need to read Dirty Red. Trust us, things are not what they seem... We can only hope and pray for a HEA for our Caleb and Olivia.

Put this on your list of must reads ASAP. One of my top 5 of 2012. I don't write long reviews but suffice it to say I was up until 3AM finishing this book. Andrew Parrish is my new book boyfriend. Oh, and did I mention the sex is HOT? Beautiful beautiful story.

A beautiful romance! I read this in 1 day, could not stop reading until I finished Lauren and Caden's story. The sex scenes left me breathless and the story had my heart in its clutches! A must read!

4 out of 5 stars to The Stranger (Just One Night)! The Stranger is very sexy and suspenseful. I read it in just one night (pun intended). I was expecting a carbon copy of Fifty Shades or Bared to You, but this book is different. The book is told from the POV of Kasie who has a fling in Las Vegas with a very handsome stranger. Circumstances later bring them together again, which leads to Kasie being torn between being a."good girl" or following her heart. This book includes some very steamy sex scenes and one very hot guy, Mr Dade. I can't wait to learn more about him in the next book because this one is told from Kasie's POV and ends rather abruptly on a huge cliff-hanger. Kasie's actions might disturb some readers, because you are told from the beginning that she has a boyfriend but I felt the author did a good job of explaining Kasie's thought process.

4.5 stars!! Poughkeepsie is one of my favorite books, a beautiful, romantic and yes, sometimes violent story of true love, loyalty, goodness and family. It is a must-read, and the kind of book and characters that stay with you forever. So when I heard that Debra Anastasia planned to write a second book about Beckett Taylor, I could not wait to read it! Beckett is violent, damaged, loving, loyal and sexy -- in short, my favorite kind of (anti) hero. Beckett is in love with the equally-damaged Eve and Return to Poughkeepsie is their story. Beckett is admittedly "the scariest motherfucker in Poughkeespie." He makes a decision early in this book that breaks the hearts of all those who love him. Eve is the love of his life, and um, they have some incredible chemistry: "You're mine now. You gave up. Know that you could have killed me. Now nothing will stop me." Despite their love for each other, Beckett feels that he must redeem himself as a person and become a man worthy of Eve and his family's love. No real spoilers here but the author then takes us on a wild ride for the rest of the story, filled with incredibly memorable characters (hello, handsome cop!), very twisted criminals and tender and heartbreaking family scenes. My loves Blake and Livia are prominent in this book as are Cole and Kyle. But the focus of the story is on Beckett and his love, Eve. Eve is one kick-ass heroine and she really holds her own throughout this story. Although I absolutely loved her scenes with Beckett, I also really loved Ryan, the very sexy Poughkeepsie cop who, in another lifetime, could have been someone Eve fell for. (Could there be a spin-off here? Hmmm, let's hope so!) Eve becomes involved in a very complicated crime scheme that ultimately involves the entire clan and leads to some real nail-biting scenes. I was really rooting for Beckett and Eve and was thrilled at the conclusion to their story. Although Beckett has changed somewhat in this book from Book #1, he is still the same loyal, tough, mean and sexy SOB as he was in Poughkeepsie. But it's his scenes with Eve that I loved most. "Eve was magnificent. Every damn time." Return to Poughkeepsie is a very substantial book, filled with sexy, funny, tender and dramatic moments. There are some heartbreaking story lines and some incredibly sexy and violent ones, too. I absolutely savored every single word of this story and was saddened to see it end. A fantastic sequel to one of my all-time favorite books. (ARC provided by the author in return for an honest review.)

Beautiful story of love and redemption, with a feisty heroine and one hot hero. Do not miss reading this one. "Just breathe," my mom would say. "Ten tiny breaths ... Seize them. Feel them. Love them." A beautiful, beautiful book about tragedy, life, love and forgiveness. Kacey has been through a terrible tragedy and flees with her little sister, Livie, to Miami to begin a new life. Kacey has sacrificed her own dreams of college to take care of her younger sister and put her through high school. They move into an apartment complex with a cast of characters including wonderful new friends and one gorgeous neighbor, Trent Emerson. Kacey tries to numb her emotions and tries to push everyone away who cares about her. I absolutely loved how this story unfolded and I. found myself really rooting for Kacey to overcome her past tragedy and. let her emotions in! There is FANTASTIC chemistry between Kacey and Trent. I also loved the other characters, especially Kacey's little sister Livie. A wonderfully written book that does not disappoint. .Ten Tiny BreathsK.A. Tucker

Amazing story. Wow. This is a must-read. One of the best books I have read this year, and I have read over 120. The story will amaze you, sadden you, surprise you, thrill you, and ultimately, uplift you. Enjoy! I love Sky and Holder! 5 stars for #Hopeless. Dean Holder & Sky will capture your heart and leave you breathless. Best First Kiss scene, ever. A must-read.

OH MY GOD! Ms. Romig has done it again. This can't really be categorized as a "romance" although sorry, again I think I might be the only reader who loved Tony! What a phenomenal story. We don't like to give a synopsis but this book picks up where Consequences left off, and we were up until the middle of night many nights reading this book. Ms. Romig has created very, very memorable characters and they will stay in your head long after you finish this book. We cannot wait until Convicted is finished! Gah! I don't want Claire and Tony's story to end! This book is a must-read.

I was thrilled to be able to read this super sexy continuation of Rebecca Mason's journey with her Master. Rebecca will belong completely to her new Master, once she signs the contract he has given her which sets the terms of their Master/sub relationship. Will Rebecca give him her ultimate trust? In this steamy novella, her Master consumes her, body and soul, even as he explores her limits: "...I will push you to your limit, Rebecca, but I will always leave you thoroughly pleasured." Rebecca tries not to lose herself, but she is intoxicated by her Master. He is sexy, irresistible and powerful, and I wanted to read more about him. Who is he? What happened to Rebecca? There is a hint here as to her Master's identity, and these journals are must-reads for fans of the Inside Out series. Plus, you get a sneak peek into Being Me! (ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.)

WHAT HAPPENED TO REBECCA? I know its odd to give 5 stars to what is essentially a novella, but this to me is an essential part of the Inside Out series, of which If I Were You is one of our all-time favorite books! This is the second installment of entries from Rebecca's lost journals. Rebecca is presented with with a contract to be a submissive that she doesn't want to sign. There are subtle hints as to who the would-be Master might be. This is a very short but very, very satisfying read. Can't wait for the next installment of Rebecca's lost journals. (ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.) Rebecca's Lost Journals, Volume 2: The ContractLisa Renee Jones

We were lucky enough to get a sneak peak at volume one of Rebecca's Lost Journals: The Seduction, out on January 28th, which Lisa Renee Jones is writing to accompany her Inside Out Trilogy. Rebecca's Lost Journals: The Seduction is basically the prequel to If I Were You, Book 1 of the Inside Out Trilogy. You MUST read If I Were You in case you missed it. It is in our Top 10 Books of 2012. it is the story of Sara who finds and reads the secret journals of Rebecca who has left them abandoned in an auctioned off storage unit. Very hot and sexy book with very engrossing characters and an OMG cliff hanger. If you have not yet read If I Were You, START IMMEDIATELY! it is a 5 star read! Rebecca's Lost Journals, Volume One: The Seduction, is fabulously engrossing, sexy and suspenseful. The only problem: I need more Mark and Chris! Read Rebecca's Journals. You will not be disappointed.

Can we give this book 6 stars? We actually read this book at slower than usual because we did NOT want it to end! Cathy: I loved this book! I absolutely love that Jesse is obsessive and controlling with Ava but still very, very loving. I didn't get much sleep because I couldn't stop reading. I also loved that it picked up shortly after This Man so it flowed perfectly. This book took you to another level of Jesse and Ava's relationship. I don't want to give away any spoilers but one of my favorite parts of the book is when Jesse tells Ava SHE is the one who holds the power. **Swoon** Ellen: I love how Ava constantly pushed Jesse. And the scene near the end of the book when she was trying to make her point to Jesse... OMG! She is in love with Jesse but she feels very insecure. Jodi Ellen Malpas has written a sexy, shocking and surprising book! We don't want to give away any spoilers and we assume everyone has read This Man. Beneath This Man picks up a few days after This Man ends. This book is is VERY hot and the sex scenes are AMAZING. Much of the tension in the story revolves around an anniversary party for the Manor that Ava does not want to attend. There are a LOT of surprises and the end does not disappoint! Oh and there is one really spiteful character named Sarah! Jesse, fire her! You will fall in love with Jesse Ward. We can't wait for the third book, This Man Confessed. "My work here is done." Beneath This ManJodi Ellen Malpas

The story is GREAT. A roller coaster of a read. I think I was one of the few readers who actually loved Tony! These characters will haunt you. Especially if you stay up until 2:00 AM reading this book! Amazing debut by Aleatha Romig. I had to join the Goodreads Support Group after finishing this book! Seriously, read this book. You will not be disappointed. One of my top 10 for 2012.

I am simply speechless. One of the best books I've ever read. Where did Katja Millay go? She needs to write another book! A moving story about second chances and the power of unconditional love. TSoT should be read by everyone. True story: Several years ago I was planning my attendance at my very first book signing ever. A lovely reader from SLOVENIA (yes, you read that correctly) messaged me and asked if I could please try and get a copy of TSoT signed for her by Katja Millay. Of course, I said, I would certainly try. I thought to myself. wow, this book must really be something special! And so I bought the book and there it sat on my Kindle since 2013. Yes, I met the author, she was absolutely lovely but I did not fangirl over her because I had not yet read this treasure of a book!!! And now she seems to have disappeared!! GAAHHHHHH!! I need a do-0ver!! If you are like me, you probably have tons of books sitting on your e-reader (and maybe even on your bookshelf) unread for whatever reason. I made a resolution that this year, I would slow down on taking ARC's and get through all of the wonderful books that I have been meaning to get to for years. Well, TSoT is now one of my all-time favorite books. I can't stop thinking about it. The author has a special gift with the written word and I just want to shout from the rooftops about this treasure! "My name is Nastya Kashnikov. I was a piano-playing prodigy who doesn't belong anywhere near an Intro to Music class. I was murdered two and a half years ago. Discuss." Nastya is starting high school at a new school, where she looks and feels and acts like the outsider that she is. She pushes everyone away with her special brand of toughness AND she also refuses to speak. At all. What happened to this girl that has made her so withdrawn from her family and everyone around her? "I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck." Besides getting the feel and all the angst of high school EXACTLY right, the author slowly reveals what has made Nastya into the girl she is today. But if Nastya thinks she has the self-pity market cornered, she's got nothing on Josh Bennett, another loner who has had the most terrible tragedies happen to him. Josh is also unapproachable but he becomes fascinated by this girl who wears all-black every single day and acts angry all the time. "She does look like a badass. I've seen her arms, and she's ripped, which is kind of weird and scary all at once because it just seems all wrong on her. She's really small and fragile-looking, and at the same time, it's like she's some exotic teenage mercenary, all rock solid, dressed in black, ready to take somebody down. None of it makes any sense. It's kind of disconcerting. She's like an optical illusion. You look at it from one angle and you see the picture and you think you've got a lock on it and then it shifts and the image changes to something entirely different and you can't even find the original picture anymore. It's a serious mindfuck." Nastya is an enigma. Her story gradually begins to unfold and it is extremely unsettling and almost unbearable. For all of her toughness, she is extremely fragile and vulnerable but eventually begins to let others in. Just a little. "I haven't said a word to another living person in 452 days. I write my three and a half pages, tuck away my composition book, and crawl into bed, knowing how close I came to not making it to 453." Let me just say two words about this book: Josh Bennett. He is sensitive, intelligent and loyal. He realizes how fragile Nastya is. I adore him! He doesn't know why she is so closed off to the world but he very carefully begins to crack her shell, little by little. "But the more she gives me, the more abstract she gets. It's like pieces to three different puzzles. You try to put them together but they never fit, and when you force them, the picture comes out all wrong. Despite her resolution never to let someone love her, Nastya begins to get close to Josh and his very small circle of old friends. Their relationship unfolds very slowly but they just seem to understand each other. She still keeps secrets from him but she begins to trust him absolutely. "Josh Bennett laughs, and for one minute, everything is right in the world." Josh is Nastya's lifeline. As her carefully constructed world begins to fall apart, Josh is there for her. Until she pushes him away. I honestly did not know whether or not the author was going to give these two the happy ending they both so desperately deserved, but the ending was PERFECT. I almost stopped breathing during the last 15% of this book. Nastya is so pessimistic about her future that nothing about this book would have surprised me. "People like Josh Bennett and I don't get perfect. Most of the time, we don't even get remotely tolerable. And that's why it scares me. Because, even if there was such a thing to begin with, perfect never lasts." This book actually has some light moments and very funny scenes mixed in with all the angst. They were a welcome relief from the heaviness and were done just right. All of the supporting characters were absolutely perfect and I pray for another book soon from Katya Millay. If you haven't read this book yet, don't wait. It is truly a treasure. "Every day you save me."

Read. This. Book.

Holy hell. What a ride. My heart was ripped out a couple of times during this book. Madeline Sheehan has left me absolutely speechless. I will post a review after I think about this book for a while. A must-read!!

** spoiler alert ** 6 Stars. 10 Stars for the sex. Here is the synopsis for Grounded, Book 3 in the Up In The Air Trilogy: "James and Bianca's story draws to a close in the conclusion to the Up In The Air Trilogy. After a short but burning hot courtship, Bianca can no longer deny her feelings for James, and though she's tried her hardest, she can't help but see that he cares deeply for her, as well. In an uncharacteristic move, because of her abusive background, she has put aside her misgivings and agrees to live with billionaire James. Is her leap of faith the beginning of something wonderful, or is it too much, too fast? As James and Bianca feel a growing need for each other that neither can deny, circumstances beyond their control intervene, trying to tear them apart. Amidst the ever mounting threat of a monster who wants Bianca dead, and the constant pitfalls of an indiscreet past that James can't seem to escape, can these two passionate lovers manage to find their happily ever after?" MR. CAVENDISH. YES, PLEASE. Well, we had to think about this book for a few days before writing a review. This is one of those rare books that we want to give 6 stars to. The writing is so rich, so descriptive, that you will not want the story of James and Bianca to end. The sex scenes are GRAPHIC, they are HOT and they are FREQUENT! Our kind of book, for sure! You will be excited, you will be crying (sobbing!), you will be angry and you will be surprised by Grounded. And there are some fabulous characters that look like they might be getting their own story? Hello, Ms. Lilley? We are TOTALLY excited by that! Loved the settings that switch between Las Vegas and New York City, the flight attendant plot device totally works for us. Some of our favorite quotes (and there were a LOT!): "'Turn around and look at me,' James said after a long moment, his voice low and rough. It was insane, it was unreasonable, it was self-destructive...and masochistic, but I grew wet at the sound of that violent-roughened voice. I turned around." - Bianca "Have I told you today how happy you make me? I can never go back from this, Bianca. It would break me to let you go. You know that, right?" - James Most of our favorite quotes give away the plot so we don't want to spoil the book for those that have not yet read this gem. GO READ THIS BOOK NOW. You will fall in love with James.GroundedR.K. Lilley

Fantastic book, couldn't put it down. Hot alpha male, great story and characters! One of the best books of 2012. Can't wait for Book 2.

6 stars!! I'm DEAD. Full review to come after Release Day, May 14th. Eyes Wide OpenRaine Miller

"Break Her" is one of those books that I am really not qualified to "review" because the writing is so amazing (Clue #1 as to the author's identity!) so I'll just stick to giving my humble opinion. I read this book a few months ago and have been thinking about it ever since. To me, that is the hallmark of an excellent book. Here is the synopsis of the story, in which a woman wakes to find a dangerous stranger in her bed: "Now your home has become your prison, and your body, a battlefield. How would you hold onto your sanity, your self-esteem, your very soul against someone determined to annihilate all three? In the psychological thriller Break Her, one woman will find herself in this almost unthinkable situation, and one man will discover that he has finally come up against someone unlike any of those he has destroyed before. On the surface, this intruder has all the advantages: strength, weapons, ruthlessness. The only way he can lose is if he finds himself responding to his victim on a human level. The only way she can win is if she rips away the protective lies she's told herself, the hard shell of indifference she's hidden in, and becomes again what she has not been since she lost everything that mattered to her, years ago. " Break Her is a very graphic story of the gripping psychological interplay between the woman and the rapist. (I refuse to call her simply "Victim" as some reviewers have done.) The rapist is very cunning and very strong. He is determined to destroy the woman not only physically, but emotionally as well. "He was decent looking. He probably had money. He could have sex any way he wanted any time he wanted. But he liked it this way." The story itself is set over a period of an excruciating day and a half, within the physical confines of a house. The characters are not named by the author. Through a series of flashbacks, however, the woman's past is explained in detail and other characters are introduced. I was hanging on every word, and reading furiously to reach the stunning conclusion of this book. "You think you'll wear me out," he hissed, not using a question. "You think you'll eventually satisfy me, and reach the end of this. But everything you do makes me want you more, deeper, impossibly more. I think I'm reaching a point I've never hit before. Like perpetual motion. Or nirvana. I'll never stop." There are many questions raised by this story. What was the author trying to convey here? Well, first and foremost, I think it is a story of the woman's fierce strength and will to survive. The author has written this book under a pseudonym so that we do not know the writer's gender. Brilliant. The author has ventured an opinion on the subject of rape in other forums that forgiveness allows rape victims to move on, and to separate themselves from what happened. The author has also questioned why rape is the only crime that seems to be an "open wound", which gives men a huge amount of power to know that by this one act, they can potentially destroy a woman. Certainly the woman in "Break Her" does not accept the definition of rape as an "open wound" and in that sense, this book is very empowering. "Break Her" is an incredibly gripping and yes, emotionally exhausting, story. It is very thought-provoking and will make you question what values you believe in. I could not put this book down. I can only hope that the author chooses to continue the woman's story because I need more of this story.Break HerB.G. Harlen

Beautiful and painful. And funny. A must-read. You won't be sorry.

Kristen Ashley on steroids. Good story but lots of typos and errors.

One of the best books I have read, not to be missed. Great story and characters. And it's hot

Amazing book. A must-read.

A must-read. Great characters, story and writing.

Love love love this book. A must-read.

Great book. A must-read.

This book is not only HOT it has a good story!

Fantastic book. Couldn't put it down. Ranks up there with Bared to You, Gabriel's Inferno and 50 Shades. You will not be disappointed.

GREAT BOOK. A MUST- READ!

Never in a million years did I think I would love a book about a parallel world with elves, kings, magic...but this is Kristen Ashley, after all, so I fell in love with this book!! I was enthralled by this story and felt transported to this world that Ms. Ashley created. In search of an epic adventure, Finnie trades places with her "twin" who lives in a parallel universe. Immediately she is swept off to marry the king in an arranged marriage. He then leaves her alone in the middle of the woods and so begins this epic tale that had me swooning at every word. Frey Drakkar is uber-sexy, controlling and at first, non-communicative. But slowly these two develop a bond that is beautiful and lasting and quite magical. I am not a huge reader of fantasy but this book is quite simply unforgettable. The characters came alive for me and the story is amazing. Even if you are not a fan of this genre, read this book!! Wildest Dreams is everything I love about Kristen Ashley.

Writing is all over the place. My first Megan Hart book. No clear point of view.

One of Kristen Ashley's best books ever. You will love Faye and Chace. Another phenomenal story and yet another fabulous alpha male! Have Kleenex ready near the end. Thanks Kristen!

This is not for everyone but it is one of the most haunting books I have ever read. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

LOVED THIS BOOK. LOVED the characters, and that the heroine is older. The ending is a little drawn out though. Still great book.

Loved this, loved Knight, but not as much of a detailed story as her other books. Read this one first but like Motorcycle Man better.

OMG can't put it down. Great story

Can't put it down, re-read it three times

Great Book!! Too short for my liking... but definitely prepare the tissue box near you when you start reading.

Ok so I'll say it... At first I was a little unsure how I felt about the book, since Gemma kept going back and forth on her decision making.. It was kind of getting annoying. But.... That twist blew me away,( still not sure how I feel about it though) . So yes it's a must read simply because that twist was so not expected!

great read...

Ok I think this book should come with major warning labels! I mean come on can anyone withstand sooo much death and sorrow like Caden? I mean seriously poor guy!! I am left depressed and will require several hours of watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S episodes to get over the gut wrenching, depression leading, emotional wreck I became after reading this book.... Sooo if you want to cry, get depressed, then this book is for you. But as for me, as much s I loved Ever and Caden and only wish for their happy ending I don't think I can handle what I know will be a very sad journey on the next two books.

What an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL STORY!!!! I have not yet fully recovered my SOB FEST therefore I am not able to give a full review at this time. But I will leave you with one very important suggestion before you pick up this book (which you definitely should) and that is GET TISSUES my friend, you will need it!!! " Jules, Will you Marry me...Someday?" FUll review Coming Soon...

AWESOME SEXY READ!!!! Only problem I found with it was that it ended a bit suddenly and I feel like I was left hanging. Not in a cliffhanger kind of way but I just wanted a bit more on their HEA... But other than that it was a great read.

Destroyed By: Pepper Winters (Goodreads Author) ***** 5 Killing Stars***** Give me a second to fully digest everything I just read....umm... WOW ... there are no words to describe how this book made me feel. The tragic story of Roan "Fox" was simply the most heartbreaking thing ever. So when reading this book, make sure to prepare your hear, grab a box of tissues and be prepared to cry your eyes out. "The moment I set eyes on her, I tasted a delicious combination of fear and strength. Weakness and bravery, sadness and resignation. Instincts and needs that I'd buried and ignored volcanoes to the surface. I lost control. I broke every rule and I didn't give a fuck. She woke a part of me I didn't know existed, layered in ice and cold blooded disassociation." Roan "Fox is a tortured soul who has lived a horrible life at the hands of the worse kind of people, who kidnapped and held him captive since he was six years old. He was beaten and tortured into conditioning to doing everything and anything they wanted including kill. " No one would look at me and think I was slave. But I had been. I still was. I probably would be forever." Once he finally escapes he begins to live as a zombie version of himself, unable to touch or be touch, unable to please or be pleased, simply miserable, living a life void of emotions and filled with fear. That is until he meets Hazel Hunter and his miserable life changes forever. "I'll give you two hundred thousand for one month of pure access. I want to buy your obedience, your body, your mind. But most of all I want to buy your secrets." " Tonight, I did the one thing that made least sense of all. I bought a girl. And I would never let her go." "Top rule. Unbreakable rule. Don't. Ever. Touch. Me." He begins to fight all his conditioning instincts to be a "normal" man for her. But as with everything in his life, nothing is ever that easy. The road to normalcy is not as easy as he thought it would be after only one look into Zel's eyes at his club. " You're Mine, and I refuse to live without you." The battle with his own personal demons wasn't so easily won. He has to challenge himself again and again with fear of losing the only people he loves. "Obey or I'll kill you." "I'm here for you, for her. Forever if you'll have me. Just please-forgive me." Hazel "Zel" is a strong courageous woman, who fights with teeth and nail to save those she loves most. She instantly feels the connection between her and Fox and gives up herself in order to try to help him find his cure to his conditioning without losing her life along the way. But her secret can kill them both... " No, I'm not okay. Everything about you tells me to run, yet I ignore myself and end up getting hurt again. I find myself needing to help others-it's a compulsion driving me insane." " You mistreat me, and I'll make you dickless for the rest of your life. Treat me with respect and desire and I'll stay. I accept your offer Obsidian Fox. Don't make me regret it." " With fear and stupidity, I sold myself to him. Sold myself to a fighter who could sense my lies as easily as a fox senses a rabbit. I regretted it. I reveled in it. It destroyed me." Meanwhile she is also trying to save the life of the one person she loves most and she is afraid that in the end she will end losing them both. The life of her daughter, the life of the one person who has the ability to change everything. "A child was my cure. The daughter of the woman I tried to kill. It was time to face my past full of darkness and say fuck you. It was time to start new memories." "Her touch shattered me. Her touch awoke me. Her touch destroyed me." Their love is like no other, together they fight every instinct in their body, to run, to harm, to kill. He doesn't think he has what it takes to be a good man for her, and she can't give up on him, It's a love that fights all battles and has the ability to destroy them both. " You are worthy. Every day I spend with you, your improving." "Only because I keep my distance and don't touch you. Believe me, if you knew my thoughts you would run." "Do you want me to run?" "You should." "You own me, body and soul, Hazel Hunter. You're not just my lover but also my handler and I will walk over blades for you. I will kill for you. I will lay down my life for you." So, with nothing left to say other than YOU MUST READ this book!! You will Love Fox, you will also hate him but don't let that scare you in the end he makes it worth the wait but you need to read it to find out. **** For More Reviews Visit My Blog**** www.Jenreadit.com

****4 Intense Stars There are no words to describe what I feel after reading this book! I am absolutely speechless... I mean Seriously??? I don't normally drink but after all that I think I just may need one or 5! There has to be another book! Ok so I spent a big part of the book in a love, hate relationship with Twitch and Lexi. It's rare you read about a <"hero" like Twitch, and that makes him all that more interesting. "There's something about Twitch. He's just raw." He is just all kinds of twisted, but at the same time he had his sweet, and happy moments with Lexi. These two together are just a complete loving mess. "Don't feel sorry for me. And don't assume you know me. You don't know shit about me." The story begins when we meet 6 year old Alexa, trying to take care of a beat up 8 year old Antonio. She feels sorry for him and tries to help him as best as she can. But what she doesn't realize is that little act of kindness, changed both of their lives forever. "You're hurt." "No one else cares if I'm hurt." I whisper, "I do." We stand there, staring at each other a long time. Finally, he comes closer to me and asks, "What's your name?" "Alexa. Alexa Ballentine." He nods but says nothing. Finally he comes closer to me and asks, "What's your name?" "Doesn't matter. You'll forget it once I'm gone." Stepping closer, I promise, " No, I won't." Lifting his head, he runs a hand through his messy brown hair to keep it out of his face. He watches me a second more before he utters, "Antonio Falco." As I read this book several parts of if made me contemplate putting it down and moving on to another book less... RAW... But that's just the thing though, the story of Twitch and Lexi was just so intense and captivating that I had to keep reading and had to know if they did get their HEA. "Monsters don't always lurk in the shadows. Sometimes they hide in plain sight." "I don't want a knight in shining armor. I don't want a knight in scuffed armor. I want his helmet to have dents. I want my knight to be real, and dark and savage. I want my knight to be a survivor. Someone who's been tested and got through his trails. Not some pussy in gleaming metal." So yes listen to the author's note, This is not a love story. This is a story of love gone wrong. So if you can't handle reading a book that will strip you bare with every dark, twisted, compelling, heart wrenching page. "You'll be forever unsatisfied. No one will ever take care of you the way I can. The way I know you want it. I know what you need, Lexi, even if you don't know it yourself. But I'll teach you." I won't give much of the story away because reading it all for yourself is an experience you don't want to miss, so I don't want to ruin it for you. I'll just leave you with this... If you want a crazy complicated, heart stopping, soul wrenching story then you this is a MUST READ for you! (view spoiler)[" She's in danger, though. And I need to keep her safe. Because I love her. I'd kill anyone who tried to hurt her. You said you'd never leave me. And I'm holding you to that. Because when you're safe again, I'm coming for you, Angel."

3 Stars*** Only for you By: Genna Rulon I will be honest and say that I expected the book to be much better. In the first few chapters the banter between Everleigh and Hunter had me laughing and picturing really good things for the rest of the book. But as the book progressed I feel like something was missing. There was that great connection in the beginning, Moments where I thought would be hilarious once discovered... "Sir, you are no gentleman." "And you, Miss, are no lady." "What man can quote a scene from the 1939 film classic? That does not happen in real life, hell, it doesn't even happen in books. I halted hastily in the middle of the parking lot. Of course--it was obvious as a hooker at a debutant ball--Hunter. Was. Gay. It explained his extraordinary looks, for no straight man looks that good--it's God's joke at women's expense. It explained his dislike of women, at least this woman. It explained his willingness to sit and listen to emotive music and contemplate the lyrical significance. Most importantly, it was the only plausible explanation for him quoting Rhett Butler, the dashing yet scandalous civil war hero from the gold standard of chick-flicks." and then nothing... Don't get me wrong the author had a great story, the characters were lovable and fun but there was just something, some connection missing. I must say I loved Ev though, she was simply one of a kind "Was he a cyborg created to epitomize masculine perfection, testing the restraint of earthly women?" "But who will bring me coffee in the mornings and breakfast treats?" "You're running a coffee shop. You have those items at your disposal," Hunter laughed. "That is true, but who will give me big bear hugs each day?" "I'm sure you can persuade Sam to fill in for me when needed." "She's physically incapable of giving me a bear hug--she can only provide tiny cub hugs." So... in the end of the day this book is still a must read because everyone NEEDS their Everleigh and Hunter Fix. "Do you remember my tattoo? I had it inked at the end of March. Do you remember what it means" -"Forever. You said it was the Japanese word for forever, eternal." -"Exactly. Forever." He put his hand over his heart and repeated himself, separating the words, "For--Ever." "I already knew, for me there is only you. No matter what happened between us in the future, it would only ever be you. I was made for you--only for you." Anything I can do to help you?" "Just be you, Everleigh. That's all I need." http://jenreadit.com/only-for-you.html

Layers Deep (Layers Trilogy #1) By: Lacey Silks (Goodreads Author) **** 4 Deep Stars **** One word... Cliffhanger!! Ugh, have I mentioned how much I hate cliffhanger? It's a bittersweet feeling because in a way it's good for the anticipation on what will happen next, but in this case NOT SO MUCH! Great read that may leave you blushing and wanting more... Now how can I explain my feelings about this book properly without giving too much away ??? "Cross was too hot for his own good. I couldn't let his Zeus like looks and charming mouth derail my plans." " Of course I liked him! Even Mother Teresa would have liked him." "I don't sleep around, Allie. I'm a one-girl kind of man." I think that pretty much covers it Right? Other than screaming HOT DAM!!!! So to Sum up, Allie needs Tristan for her Revenge Tristan needs Allie for his Rescue, the lines get blurred and things get OH SO INTERESTING!! " Hit me." I could have sworn I'd heard a slight growl in his voice. "What?" "It's not a request. If you want me to consider you for the job you need to pin me to the floor." "You just want me on top of you." I crossed my arms at my front. " Actually I want you under me, and I wont have it any other way." He grinned I loved the story of Allie and Tristan, It was a mixture of the beginning of their love but also gave you an insight on one of the biggest worldwide issues we have today... SEX TRAFFICKING. Allie has to go under cover to get sold as a sex slave in order to try to save Tristan's ex from being sold. It was crazy to see the reality of sex trafficking. As much as I hated reading about what some of the women went through in the book, because I know it's a reality in our lives more than we'd like it to be, it was a good way of showing the readers what many women out there are going through. "If I had a choice I wouldn't hire you. I'd keep you far away from the scum we'll be dealing with. But you're too perfect for the job. You're beautiful, smart and strong." But on a lighter note... Allie and Tristan Cross were a great pair. They completed each other's every need with trust in each other from day one. The chemistry between these two simply left me fanning myself... "Cocky a bit? " I guess you'll have to wait and see. " "You're unbelievable." " I Know. And I'm glad you know it, too. " "Have you always been a tease Allie? Or is it just for me? "What?" "You say one thing but mean something else. I can see the way your body's reacting to me." I mean come on... What can you really say to that? " You look beautiful when you blush." " You should get off me." I felt my muscles tense." "I should, and I will, but know that I don't want to." WOW!!! " You taste much better than I imagined." "Imagined?" "I wondered about your lips all night and couldn't sleep. Now I don't have to wonder anymore." "I'm glad I satisfied your curiosity." But as much as Allie tried to keep their relationship strictly professional it only worked for about 2 seconds. It was great to see the sparks between these two. Because honestly with a guy like Cross I don't really blame her! " I'd tasted forbidden fruit I couldn't get enough of. And I wanted more, I needed more." " Mr. Impossibly hot could not only make me swoon in bed, but also in his kitchen." " You perv! We're supposed to be exercising." " Believe me, my heart gets a better work out when I look at you." So, Like I said I hate Cliffhangers, therefore I need more of Tristan!! Like NOW !! So keep posted for the second installment "Layers Peeled". Can't WAIT!! ****For more Reviews Check out my Blog**** www.Jenreadit.com

***3.5 Stars*** Ok so under normal circumstances Nick would be all kinds of creepy for watching Daisy. But looking at it as a fictional perspective.... It's still odd but once you read on and get to know Nick you understand that in a way he doesn't know any better. "I was born a killer, my teeth bared, and I claimed my first victim almost before I had taken my first breath. But that is Ukraine. A boy on the streets without a gun is prey. I have never been prey. Always the hunter." "It takes many muscles to smile, more to frown, but only few to pull the trigger." Of course being the main characters and all you can't help but fall in love with Nick and Daisy. To watch both of them get over their fears and discover life together. "There is something so vibrant, so aware, so alive about him that it sings to me. I am drawn to him like a moth to a flame." " I will kiss you Daisy. I will kiss you all night. I will do more than kiss you if you wish." Daisy has just escaped her father's prison and Nikolai is attempting to free himself from the only life he knows, at the same time they are trying to build their first relationship. Neither one of them knows what to do, what's right and wrong in a relationship. But together they work on building their trust and love for one another even through the obstacles their old insecurities and fears throw their way. " I knew I could not keep you," he says. His voice is hoarse with emotion. "Such a beautiful, innocent soul. I just wanted you for as long as I could have you. I knew it was wrong, and I did not care. Someday I hope you forgive me." There were times I just wanted to shake some sense into Daisy, and there were times that I also wanted to tell Nikolai to Man up but I did enjoy learning about them. " The villains had a hard life. They did not know any other way forward." " I can't hate Nick. I'm still hopelessly in love with him. With the bad guy. I wonder what this makes me." I am not going to lie, it's an interesting read, it's not usually my favorite kind but I thoroughly did enjoy reading it. Would I recommend it? Yes, I definitely would. " I love Nick for who he is, Not what he is." "See the truth in my eyes and know I do this for you." But whatever you decide, Kitten, I will support you." Their love for one another despite all their struggles is so captivating, that it makes it hard to explain.. So I'll just let their own words do the explaining... "Spasiba." "Why do you thank me?" "For caring enough to care about how I feel." "I do not think you realize, Daisy. You are everything to me." " Every day that passes, I love Nick more and more. I don't care about his past. We will build our own future, together." " We're both patient people, Nick and I. We know how to wait, there's pleasure in the waiting." So Read it, Trust Me you will enjoy it!! *******For More Reviews****** www.Jenreadit.com

CUTE

***** 5 AMAZING STARS Ruin By: Rachel Van Dyken I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed out loud, Smiled myself silly, and Cried my eyes out, but LOVED every single minute of it!!! I can't stress this enough but I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the story of Wes and Kiersten. It's an Amazing MUST READ! It will leave you so caught up in emotions that you will be speechless and thinking about this book for weeks.... Trust me!! "I turned around... and ran smack dab into a tree. Or at least it felt like a tree. But trees weren't warm. And they didn't have one, two, three, four, six, Good Lord, eight? Eight packs? Furthermore, had I actually been feeling said person's eight pack? And, dear God, I was counting. I had touched each muscle. And great, my hand was still firmly placed against the guy's stomach. I jerked my hand back and closed my eyes. "Were you just counting my abs?" I think that in itself is enough said about Wes don't you think? How can you not fall in love with him? His eyes held my ruin. "Weston." He held his hand . "And you are?" Screwed Kiersten." " I seriously couldn't stare at him in the face; that was how gorgeous he was. I'd never seen such a good looking guy in real life before. Sure, I'd seen them on magazines and movies, but this guy... He was living breathing, walking sex. And considering I had no experience in that department, I was putting up every wall I could think of in order to remember to breathe." I loved their instant connection and hilarious, heartwarming banter. I couldn't help but smile almost the entire time. "I don't get it. I could have sworn the freshman RA was a female." "Sex change" Weston said with a straight face. " I was a confused child." " Funny." I rolled my eyes. "Seriously? I requested an all girls dorm and got put in a co-ed building, and then my RA is a --" I was going to say hot guy by refrained from embarrassing myself. "Sex god." He said it for me. " I know, some people have all the luck." I am struggling to write a review for this without giving too much away and ruining the suspense for you so I think it's easier to let the characters speak for themselves... Lisa and Gabe were simply HILARIOUS!! I think everyone needs a roommate and friends like Lisa and Gabe. My screaming broke a lamp?" "No." She shook her head. " My fall broke the lamp. Seems jumping out of your bunk bed at one in the morning's a contact sport. My lamp being the main target. No worries. She sighed. " It didn't suffer. It shattered on contact with the floor. And then again after I slipped on the teddy bear that also fell. And that's great since it broke my fall onto the floor, making it so I escape with two faint bruises. " "Holy crap! I'm so sorry!' "Nah, it's fine. I'm a walking accident." She laughed. " But if you plan on screaming all night, I'm taking the floor. My lamp killing days are behind me." " Oh and I sleepwalk so if you wake up to me standing over you, try not to punch me in the face. " "Wow, we're sure the fun pair." And then there is the fact that Wes is keeping a major bomb from Kiersten (spoilers) "I was keeping something epic from her, which sort of made me the villain in this tale. But damn, I wanted to be the hero." "For the first time in a year, I wanted to live -- because I wanted to spend every freaking day watching her open her eyes to the world. Hell, I wanted to be the first thing she saw. Sometimes, reality's a bitch." Enough said... So yes Read this book, Love it, Devour it!! It's just that good!! But before you do be sure to get comfortable, make sure you are alone , be prepared to not sleep and definitely have the tissues ready!! "I can tell you have a good heart... because the minute I met you, I wanted to fight for it." She was silent. "That's how you can tell when someone has a good heart... when you want to be the one to make it beat." "I want all of your heart, even the broken pieces, the shredded ones that no longer fit. I want all of them - all of you. I need it all." SWOOOON http://jenreadit.com/ruin.html

Fun read! But I must say... with that ending, there better be another book coming soon!!

****4 Musical Stars Maybe Someday By: Colleen Hoover I can honestly say that I am a HUGE Colleen Hoover book fan! I have read both series she has written so far and LOVED everyone of them. She has a way with words that I can honestly say I have cried my eyes out in each one of her books. So with that in mind I have to say this book was a little different for me. It's a really good book, very well written and all I just didn't feel all of the emotions I am used to feeling when reading a Colleen Hoover book. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed reading the story of Ridge and Sydney. The distinct and emotional way their love for music despite all obstacles pushed them together was amazing. There is no way to write a full review without giving too much away so I'll try my best to let the character's words speak for themselves. "We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most." "Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective." It was beautiful to watch the two of them grow together, not only through their struggles but also through the obstacles life has thrown at them. To see them realize there is more to life then the issues they face. "A life of mediocrity is a waste of a life." "Words can sometimes have a far greater effect on a heart than a kiss." Music is what brings them together; it's what brings light to the great connection they share. Writing music together connects the two of them in a way they never thought possible to have with another. "However, I've learned that the heart can't be told when and who and how it should love. The heart does whatever the hell it wants to do. The only thing we can control is whether we give our lives and our minds the chance to catch up to our hearts." These challenges and the enormity of the connection they share lead them to doing things they never thought they would be capable of. "I kiss her every way I can possibly kiss her, because I plan on loving her every way I can possibly love her. Every single time we refused to cave in to our feelings in the past makes this kiss completely worth the sacrifices." "The more I open up to him, the more I need him. The more I admit to myself that I need him, the most it hurts to know that I still don't exactly have him." I am not going to lie, There were several times that I just wanted to shake Sydney and Ridge and tell them to just make up their mind already but then there was the soft side of me that can understand their struggle. "There's no other way to describe how I feel. I know that the way I think about her and feel about her is wrong, but I struggle so much with how right it feels when I'm with her." See what I Mean??? "Never in all my life and in all my years of living in a world of silence have I wanted to hear something as much as I want to hear her sing right now. I want to hear her so bad it physically hurts." I mean seriously??? How can your heart not hurt for these two after Ridge saying something like that? Getting to know Ridge and the difficulties he has gone through opened my eyes to what it would be like to go through the same things. It's crazy to see that it is a reality and what sometimes can tare someone apart can also bring others together. "God, if just holding hands with him feels this intense, I can't imagine what everything else with him would feel like." "I don't know when you'll be ready for me. It might be next month or next year. Whenever it is, just know that I have absolutely no doubt that we can make this work. I know we can. If there are two people in this world capable of finding a way to love each other, it's us." So pretty much READ this book, like right now! You will LOVE it trust me!! www.jenreadit.com

What an adorable read!!! (Review Coming Soon)

LOVED IT!!!!!

AWESOME READ!!! FULL REVIEW TO COME

This book was absolutely ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!! It was an awesome, light and FUN read. I loved the characters but I absolutely LOVED Cam!!!!!!!!!!!! Major Swoooon Worthy! J "You've been checking me out, haven't you? In-between your flaming insults? I feel like man candy." Seriously, between being HOT, FUNNY and OH SO VERY ADORABLE, Cam was the perfect catch!! " I'm not going out with you Cam." " I didn't ask you at this moment, now did I" One side of his lips curved up. " But you will eventually." "You're delusional" "I'm determined." " More like annoying." " Most would say amazing." Cam and Avery's relationship is tough due to the secrets she keeps but he is the perfect match for breaking her out of her shell and facing her fears. This book is definitely a MUST READ. Trust me when I say this YOU will not regret it! www.Jenreadit.com

Another awesome KA read! I just can't seem to get enough!! I wish the book was longer because I wanted more of Hop and Lanie. :)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IN A WAY ONLY KA CAN!! Full Review to come!!

Simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again Colleen Hoover's love stories leave me speechless and emotional. AWESOME READ!

two words... Absolutely Adorable!!!! The love story of Hunter and Taylor was very entertaining and a great read.Simply an awesome Read!!

Kristen did it again! The story of Frankie and Benny was just simply absolutely AMAZING!!! I could not put it down, so much so when finished I picked up the other burg books and started re-reading it to remember all the burg history. So if you haven't yet read it be sure to do sooo !!!!

I Must say that I absolutely LOVED reading this book. It was absolutely HILARIOUS!!! I would definitely recommend it. I loved the story and the characters but I most definitely LOVED Gavin, funniest little boy ever. I must Warn you though, Do not read this in public or you will take the chance of people thinking your completely crazy for laughing out loud by yourself (True story). Once I started reading this book I was unable to put it down, and I could not stop laughing. I look forward to reading any other book Tara Sivec writes, because reading Seduction and Snacks definitely made my day.

Ok soooo I was absolutely thrilled and so incredibly sad to read this book! Trilled because I LOVED and MISSED the Rock Chicks and Hot Bunch, but Extremely sad to see the series end. Review to come...
