Sweet home by Tillie Cole

Sweet Home (Sweet Home, #1)At age twenty, Molly Shakespeare knows a lot.

She knows Descartes and Kant.

She knows academia and Oxford.

She knows that the people who love you leave you.

She knows how to be alone. 

But when Molly leaves England's grey skies behind to start a new life at the University of Alabama, she finds that she has a lot to learn — she didn't know a summer could be so hot, she didn't know students could be so intimidating, and she certainly didn't know just how much the folks of Alabama love their football.

When a chance encounter with notorious star quarterback, Romeo Prince, leaves her unable to think of anything but his chocolate-brown eyes, dirty-blond hair and perfect physique, Molly soon realises that her quiet, solitary life is about to dramatically change forever...


Review
Love, Love, Love Romeo. The names are very cheesy tho.  The main female is named Molly Juliet Shakespeare from England. And the main male is named Romeo prince. So yeah this story is basically about Romeo and Juliet. And there story isn't as tragic as the original Romeo and Juliet but it has it's fair share of drama. And angst, fear, love, fun, learning, and philosophy. There were some amazing quotes in this book. One quote I really liked, Romeo aka rome has it tattooed on his ribs. This is the quote: The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again when you fall.’ It’s Vince Lombardi.

What is this sorry about
This book is written in Molly's point of view. Molly is a transfer student from England. Her mother died while giving birth to her and that killed her father. When she was six years old he died. Her grandma was the only family she had left. But when Molly turned 14 she died as well. After that molly went into foster care. Molly's way of coping with things is to study, study and study some more. She runs from her problems, maybe without noticing it most of the times. Molly is a TA at the university of Alabama. She is also a student there. I'm not sure if she was studying for her bachelor or master or something else. 
On her first day of class Molly meets, well not meet but literally runs in to Romeo aka Rome.  Rome is a Quarter Back  for the schools football team and he is a well known player with a bad temper. He does have a soft spot for molly. Rome didn't have it easy growing up. He had to life with the constant verbal and physical abuse from his parents. This has left him with a crappy self-esteem. He had himself convinced that everybody would leave him and that he isn't good enough. This made him even more eager to protect molly from everything.  
Molly has an interesting group of friends.  Lexie, the gothic cheerleader,  Cass the two-hundred pound southern bell, Ally who is Rome's cousin, and Jimmy don who is Cass's boyfriend. These are regular people in Molly's life. 
Molly' and Rome's relationship really has it's ups and downs and there both dealing with there personal problems. Trow piss poor excuses of parents in the mix, along with the arranged fiance ,who is a bitch straight from hell,named Shelly, and that will really stir the lot up 

What did I like about this story.
I thought this story was really, really sweet. I could really connect with Molly and Rome because i'm going threw some problems of my own. I felt horrible for the things molly and rome were put threw. But i'm so so happy that they got threw. 
There relationship did go a bit fast but it didn't bother me. It seemed good for them and I'm very happy for them. 

Oke don't read this if you don't want to read any spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Molly got pregnant and she and Rome were really happy about it. When they found out they were in shock of course but the accepted it. So the pregnancy goes along just fine until she is cornered in a room with Rome's mother and got in an argument. Rome's mother pushes molly and she lands on her stomach which causes her to miscarry the baby. Molly end up having surgery ( no worry's she can still get pregnant) and while she is recovering rome's mother 'visits 'her and ends up punching her in the stomach
This is very, very horrible and I don't like it happening to molly and I feel bad for her but on the other hand I'm kind of glad that she miscarried because I feel like it would be to soon in there relationship and it would be a bit predictable. 

End of the spoiler. 

Until November by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Until November (Until, #1)November is looking forward to getting to know her father and the safety of a small town. After leaving the Big Apple and her bad memories for Tennessee, November starts working for her dad at his strip club doing the books. The one time she’s allowed there during club hours she runs into Asher Mayson. He’s perfect until he opens his mouth and makes assumptions. November wants nothing to do with Asher but too bad for November, fate has other plans. 

Asher Mayson has never had a problem getting a woman, that is until November. Now all he can think about is making November his and keeping her safe. 


Review
Odd name november. I'm not sure I like it very much but oke. This book was very fast phased. And I can understand why. The author is trying to create there whole story in just one book. So you have to go fast. And Asher knows what he wants and he doesn't stop until he got what he wants. And what Asher wants is november. From the first minute he saw her, he knew he wanted her. 

What is this story about 
The story is about november.  November is from new york and didn't grew up with a loving parent. Her mother verbally abused her  and sometimes even phisical abused her, every chance she got.  November was told that her father didn't want her, and that nobody would ever want her. That she wasn't good enough. One night november was attacked in New York and she decided to leave and go live with her father.   Her father tracked her down after she turned eighteen. She is now twenty six if i'm correct. When she was attacked in new york a great dane ( which is a very large dog) so she decides to keep him and take him to her fathers house in Tennessee. 
November is in quite a shock to have a loving family there for her. She isn't used to it. On top of that her father and uncle works in a strip club.   That is where she meets Asher. Asher is working there as a security guard. He acts like a total doush when he meets november.  
November takes her god, named beast to the local elderly's so they can have some company. While visiting miss Alice, she finds out that she is Ashers grandmother. As she meets him again his poor mood hasn't improved much so when he asks her to go out with him she tells him no. At first. He managed to make her say yes. Basically this is where Asher and novembers relationship starts off. 
November hopes that she is safe her in the small town but she is wrong. Her apartment gets broken in to and that is just the beginning

What did I love about this story
Well first of I like november. She isn't your typical girly girl. She doens't mind getting dirty or laugh about herself. She always tries to have a good time no matter what.  She seems like a really fun girl to hang around with. 
I also liked asher and his brothers. Ashers is a really caring, protective, hot good guy. Did I say he was hot! Oh I did, well it was worth saying again cuz he is. 
Asher was three brothers.  Cash,Travor, and  Nico. I believe Asher is the oldest. I also adored Ashers mother. She is such a caring sweet person with a bit of crazy haha.
I had fun reading this book. 
One thing I didn't like much was that Asher and novembers relationship went so fast.

Fixed on you by laurelin page

Fixed on You (Fixed, #1)Stalking and restraining orders are a thing of Alayna Wither’s past. With her MBA newly in hand, she has her future figured out—move up at the nightclub she works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger her obsessive love disorder. A perfect plan.

But what Alayna didn’t figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the nightclub. He’s smart, rich, and gorgeous—the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from if she wants to keep her past tendencies in check. Except, Hudson’s fixed his sights on her. He wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it.

Avoiding him isn’t an option after he offers a business proposition she can’t turn down and she’s drawn further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational pull. When she learns Hudson has a dark history of his own, she realizes too late that she’s fallen for the worst man she could possibly get involved with. Or maybe their less than ideal pasts give them an opportunity to heal each other and finally find the love their lives have been missing.


review
I like this book. It is very hot. One of the reasons I didn't feel like reading this book sooner was because I was not sure what to think about Alayna's stalking and restraining order. I wasn't sure how that would work out in the story but it was very interesting. I understood it better now.  But what is better than one fucked up person, that would be two fucked up persons. We do get to know Alayna quite well because this book is in her point of view, so we know what she is thinking. The person we don't know an awful lot off is Hudson. Yes we do get to know the basic, only a little bit, and we do get to find out some tiny bits of his secrets but not all of it. 
I like that this story tells you that basically  everybody deserving love and that nobody is incapable of love or is incapable of receiving love no matter how messed up they are.  

What is this story about
The story is about Alayna. Alayna has a obsessive personality disorder. Due her difficult past she's obsessed with being loved. She craves for someone to love her and she stops at nothing to get it. She can be really intense about it but she is a really sweet, funny and very insecure girl. The only relative she has left is her brother Brian. I don't like him much. I get that he did allot for Alayna and that  it was very difficult for him but I didn't feel like he genuinely cares for her. I felt like he cared more about himself and his image than about his sisters well being. That's just the vibe I got from him. 
Alayna is a very smart girl. She is a bartender and she loves working in the club. The club she works in was bought by very gorgeous Hudson. Alayna was immediately attracted to him and that scares her a bit because she doesn't want to latch on. But there chemistry can't be denied. An neither of them do deny it. There relationship starts of very abnormal. I won't tell you how but it makes the book very interesting. 
I really disliked Hudson mother. She is a total ice cold, heartless, mean,  self centered bitch. I loved Hudson's father. He was really funny and seemed very genuine  I'm surprised he put up with her long enough to have 3 children. 

Try me and Tell me by Olivia Cunning

Try Me (One Night with Sole Regret, #1)For the five sexy rock gods of Sole Regret, finding love is easy, keeping it is hard.

Melanie has no desire to meet the members of the rock band, Sole Regret, but her groupie of a best friend gets them both backstage and then rushes off with the band’s lead singer. Left alone at an after party with a bunch of scary tattooed and pierced metal-heads, sheltered Melanie is relieved when the only normal-looking guy in the room insists on keeping her company.


By the time Melanie discovers that Gabe is the band’s drummer and not as normal as she assumed, she has already made a complete fool of herself. She can’t help but be interested in him, not as a rock star, but as the sexiest man she’s ever encountered. Strangely attracted to his hidden tattoos and body piercing, she wonders what it would be like to spend a night with a bad boy.


Gabe is more than willing to show sweet Melanie there’s more to him than meets the eye. All she has to do is try him. Will they only share a single night of passion? Or will their hearts entangle as quickly as their bodies?


review.

oke, one of my thoughts was,  sooo, you got over your fear of tattoos very easily and fast. Melanie went from hating and being scared of men with tattoos to wanting to see and touch Gabe's tattoos.  I do have to give her some credits cuz, Gabe is hot but that process went really quick 
And I dislike Melanie's friend Nikki, so much. No I didn't hate her in this book that much, didn't like her either but I really got to hate her in Melanie and Gabe's  second book. 
One thing that I didn't like about this book is that it was so, so short. At the end I was like wait what, this is the end, really, I want more. 
Luckily I could go straight to there second book, the six one in this series. 

What is this series all about 
This book is about Melanie, Melanie has a phobia for guys with tattoos because she was harassed by a group of bikers with tattoos when she was little. Unfortunately Melanie's best friend Nikki, is a big fan of guys with tattoos. Especially rockers. Nikki drags Melanie all over the country to see a rock band.
At this party Melanie meets Gabe. Gabe doesn't have tattoos on his arms or in his neck or anywhere immediately visible, but that doesn't mean there not there. Gabe and Melanie immediately kick it off and there very attracted to each other. Melanie goes back to Gabe's hotel with him and she finds out where he has all his tattoos. She isn't scared of them and finds them sexy and she want to touch them. So that's basically the end of her phobia. 
She and gabe spend a day together and then he goes back on the road again. Not before asking her if she want to try being in a relationship with him, and she does. 

That's were the book ends. 

Tell Me (One Night with Sole Regret, #6)He had planned a perfect weekend for her…

Gabriel “Force” Banner has been unable to get a certain sexy accountant out of his head. Sole Regret’s inventive drummer has created big plans to keep sweet Melanie entertained all weekend long. Unfortunately, Melanie arrives for their rendezvous with a bit of baggage that just might ruin their fun.


She didn’t mean to make things difficult…


Melanie wouldn’t blame Gabe if he left her at the airport with her bit of baggage, but he’s determined to make their limited time together work. When they leave behind the bustle of New Orleans and the rock ‘n’ roll scene to visit his serene oasis outside of Austin, Texas, their romantic weekend seems to be back on track. But life has a way of butting in at the worst possible times.


Can they learn how to support each other in the face of adversity or will reality destroy their budding relationship before it even takes flight?


Review
soo this book takes off with Gabe and Melanie trying out this long distance relationship. Gabe planned a really awesome weekend for Melanie. Melanie even takes of work early so that they can spend some quality time together. But Nikki, being as codependent and clingy as hell really messes up that plan. It's like they have a 3 year old kid that doesn't take no for an answer.  She really annoys  the ever loving crap out of me. And the fact that melanie puts up with it, is really beyond me. I mean nikki for crying out loud, you are a grown woman. Stop acting like a 14 year old, spoiled whorish brat that is desperate for attention. She really is an annoying big baby. I just wanted her to get lost and grow the hell up.

All Lined up by Corra Carmack

All Lined Up (Rusk University, #1)In Texas, two things are cherished above all else—football and gossip. My life has always been ruled by both.

Dallas Cole loathes football. That's what happens when you spend your whole childhood coming in second to a sport. College is her time to step out of the bleachers, and put the playing field (and the players) in her past.


But life doesn't always go as planned. As if going to the same college as her football star ex wasn’t bad enough, her father, a Texas high school coaching phenom, has decided to make the jump to college ball… as the new head coach at Rusk University. Dallas finds herself in the shadows of her father and football all over again.


Carson McClain is determined to go from second-string quarterback to the starting line-up. He needs the scholarship and the future that football provides. But when a beautiful redhead literally falls into his life, his focus is more than tested. It's obliterated.


Dallas doesn't know Carson is on the team. Carson doesn't know that Dallas is his new coach's daughter.


And neither of them know how to walk away from the attraction they feel.


review


I liked it. It was a cute and sweet story. Carson was really cute and it's was quite sad to see him doubt himself so much sometimes. 

I liked Dallas as well. It was good to see her development during the story. She changed, in a good way.
There is one thing I don't like at all and that is the cover 

What is this story about 

Well this story Dallas who is in her first year of collage.  Her mom left when she was very young so she grew up with only her dad. Her dad is a football coach.  Dallas hates football because she felt that her father put football before her. Her ex-boyfriend was also a football player. He broke up with her soon after they had sex for the first time. He is quite an asshole. 
Dallas loves to dance but her father doesn't think it is a good career choice for her so he kept her from trying out for real, major dance programs.
Dallas is in her first year of collage, and her father is the football coach there. Dallas doesn't want anybody to know that her father is the football coach.  She wants, for one in her life, to keep a low profile and not having everybody know that she is the football coach's daughter. 
Well Dallas meets Carson at a party and they hit it off immediately. They start to hang out more but then Dallas finds out that Carson is part of the football team. She doesn't want anything to do with him but she also likes him. 
After some time she decide  that she does want to be with him but she doesn't want anybody knowing that they are. 
They experience there up and downs but in the end they make it threw.

What did I like about this story

It is sweet and simple.  Yes it is a bit of a standard story but it was a really easy read.  
I adored Carson he was so sweet and cute and he is just a very nice and amazing guy. I really loved him. So so cute. 
I didn't really understood why Dallas didn't want anybody to know that she was together with Carson but oke.

In the end, a sacrifice must be made. A life for a life. For what better way to cover a multitude of sins than with the blood of a sinner . . 


Review
Instead of telling to much, I'm going to try and show my emotions during this book with gifs/pictures.



\












and just in one Gif

So my emotions may not exactly in this order but this sums it up just fine. 
I really loathed Chase sometimes. I would like to smack him in the head and say what the hell do you thing your doing. Not today little man, not today. Not on my watch. Don't you dare get between my fav. couple. Don't be so desperate or blind. You knows she loves you but not as much as she loves Nixon. Find someone who loves you, for you and loves you with her entire heart. Your better than this danmit. 

I really missed Tracey's point of view. I enjoyed seeing Nixon point of view and in the beginning I also enjoyed Chase point of view. But he got on my nerves sometimes. Don't get me wrong I do like him but still.

God I hate Nixon sometimes. Why do you always do that. You're so danm selfless. Why do  you do that to me. Or more important why do you keep doing that to Tracey. I get it, I really do but still why.

Even tracey managed to annoy me from time to time. I understood, we the readers knew more that she did so that made me scream no, don't do that, don't believe him, please don't, stop listening to Chace or Nixon. Just don't, listen to me, stop it. 
It was really frustrating sometimes. I was just so danm excited. I just couldn't sit still.  I got so much energy reading this book. 

Well I can blabber for ages about this but let me tell you what this book is all about. 
There were some major secrets in the first one, and they kept it up in the second one. Nixon and Tracey really try to make there relationship work but Nixon would rather die or sacrifice his own heart and life for tracey if that means she would be happy and safe. Well his actions may kept her safe but they didn't make her to happy. The idiot can be so smart and so stupid. He just didn't see it. Selfless is really the word for Nixon. 
And Chase, Chase just saw his opportunity and took it I guess. I mean I get that you love her but what about your best friend. I thought you knew him better than that. But on the other hand we knew what nixon was thinking. The others couldn't read his mind, so that made it a bit more difficult. 
There are some major problems in the Mob world that Tracey and Nixon live in. I really admire Nixon skill. He would be an amazing business man. He is a good leader. 
In this book they basically try to find out who killed Tracey's parents and everyone is trying to safe his own asses. There is a major complot going on and Nixon will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of it. 

I really want to explain everything that went on in this book but that would be spoiling. And I don't think I understood all of it because I was in such a hurry to find out if this book had a happy ending. 

I liked the set up for the next book but I would have like more Nixon and Tracey (happy ) moments at the ending. I think, since it was their last book, they deserved a bit more in the end. 

Elite by Rachel van Dyken

Elite (Eagle Elite, #1)For Tracey Rooks, life with her grandparents on a Wyoming farm has always been simple. But after her grandmother's death, Tracey is all her grandfather has. So when Eagle Elite University announces its annual scholarship lottery, Tracey jumps at the opportunity to secure their future and enters. She isn't expecting much-but then she wins. And life as she knows it will never be same . . .

The students at Eagle Elite are unlike any she's ever met . . . and they refuse to make things easy for her. There's Nixon, gorgeous, irresistible, and leader of a group that everyone fears: The Elect. Their rules are simple. 1. Do not touch The Elect. 2. Do not look at The Elect. 3. Do not speak to The Elect. No matter how hard she tries to stay away, The Elect are always around her and it isn't long until she finds out the reason why they keep their friends close and their enemies even closer. She just didn't realize she was the enemy -- until it was too late.


Review
This was such an exciting book. There was so much going on, without it being to much. There was allot of drama, action, thriller, love, excitement, heartbreak, moodswings, alpha male action, mystery. It was just amazing. I really really loved it. I just couldn't stop reading it. I read this and elect ( the second book) in one sitting. I just had to know. 
I felt allot of emotion reading this book. 

So what is this book all about
where do I begin. Really I just don't know where to begin. There is so much to tell about this story, but I can't say to much without spoiling allot

 I will give this a try without spoiling to much. So our alpha female Tracey brooks wins the school lottery. She got a scholarship at the best school Eagle Elite. This is an amazing opportunity for her. Tracey grew up with her grandparents on a farm. Her parents died 12 years ago, when she was 6.  Her grandmother got Tracey to sign up for a chance of getting a scholarship at Eagle Elite. 
Let me tell you about eagle elite.  This isn't an ordinary school, No it's far, far from it. There is an elite group of people in the school, that basically rule it. And they have to power to make your life a living hell. And that's what happened for poor Tracey.  What doesn't make things better for Tracey that the main Elite, the student body president, the ruler of the school basically is smoking hot. He has dark hair, bright eyes, sexy hot body, a lip ring, tattoos, and an attitude that is just major and to bad he can be a real jackass. He has been a bit cruel to Tracey but that didn't stop her from fighting back. Nixon ( that's his name) isn't used to people telling him no or going against him.  Nixon and his friends, Chase, Tex and phoenix are the top elite guys at the school. Nixon sister Monroe is also part of the elite but she is quite different from the other elite. She is Tracey's first friend and she really helps her out.  Chase has also seemed to take a liking to her. She is after all different from most of the girls at the school. 
Tracey seems like a tough cookie, she isn't afraid to flip Nixon of but she is a bit fragile to. I find her very strong considering the stuff she has been put threw by Nixon and his buddies. 

This is how I felt most of the time while reading this book 

What did I love about this book. 
I love the thrill, the action and the mystery. Oh and for the life of me I love it when the Alpha male is all macho and mean to the female character. They always like the female if they know it or not. It's not cool when that happens to you, but I love reading about it. They make the best romances.
One thing I really love about Nixon is his sense of responsibility and his loyalty. 

I did like chase but he got a bit in the way for me. I'm team Nixon/Tracey all the way and I can see him spoiling that. But other than that I really liked him. He is a funny caring guy. 
I also really liked Monroe. She was an amazing female character. She is a good friend and I really like her.
I also liked Tex, he wasn't in the book allot but he seemed like a cool guy to me. 


Lately I've been reading allot of romance and love story's. So I really enjoyed the change of scenery.  
I really really want to tell so much more about this book, but it will spoil enough. I'm really glad I found out about this writer and I can kick myself in the head that I haven't read about it earlier.
5 amazing star read.

Reciprocity by K.I Lynn

Reciprocity (Breach, #3)The final installment of the Breach Trilogy!

Things are finally looking up for Nathan and Lila. Though separated at work, their life together is just beginning.

They’re working hard to lock up Lila’s past, when Nathan’s comes knocking at the door with a gift—a warning that happiness can, and will, be taken away.

Is running away the only option to stay alive? Can they ever find the peace they deserve?

The battle for survival has begun


Review
I'm really happy with this book. This was one of the two book I was waiting for.  I'm really happy with how Nate and Lila's story turned out. It was still sexy, very hot, but also more mature, and ofcourse it was very thrilling. I just couldn't put it down. I am very impatient , so that didn't help me but I just had to know what was happening.
In the beginning of the book, I was really like, Oke when does it go wrong. It has to go wrong. Something has to happen. And yes several things did happen.  Just not right in the beginning. 

What is this book about 
After the major stuff that happened in the other two books, this one takes right off. Nate and Lila are happy in their relationship and they have learned to talk and deal with there problems. 
Nate still loves to talk dirty, very dirty to Lila, and lila loves it. There is plenty of sex in this book but not to much. It's just on the edge of being to much. 
Nate and Lila take their relationship to the next level and for a moment it seems like they really have the chance to be happy. 
But you just can't outrun your past. Lila still has to deal with her abusive stepbrother, ass of an father and stepmother. And Nate just can't outrun the mob boss Maroni. 
Will there past be able to drag them down or even worse or will they be able to overcome it. 
This story wraps it all up and it will give you an amazing ending

What did I love about this story 
I love Lila and Nate. Nate is just amazing and he's really there for lila. I love that they have grown so much both as persons and in there relationship. Eventho they have changed much, some aspects stayed the same. I really love that. 

This book was really exciting, thrilling and really hot. I loved the ending. Great series

Light in the Shadows by A.Meredith Walters

Light in the Shadows (Find You in the Dark, #2)How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?

Maggie never thought she’d see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.

Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing...slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.

When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?

The thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light.


Review
I'm happy with this book. I can really see a change in Clay. He' s growing up and he's working on living with his problems.
I like that the book is written in a dual point of view. I'm happy that we can see what Clay it thinking and what it going on in his life. I found that really interesting. 
I didn't think Maggie changed much. She is still much the same. She did learn from her experience and relationship with Clay but she is still a bit blindly in love. On the other hand there relationship has changed.  I know I said she hasn't changed much, her personality didn't but she was a bit more cautious the second time in her relationship with Clay. I'm happy with that. It's gotten a bit more mature. 

What is this book all about
Well, this book takes of where the last one ended.  Clay has been admitted to a psychiatric facility and he's getting better and better. No, his problems wont disappear over night, and he will have many hard years ahead of him but he's healing. And healing takes time. 
Maggie is trying to deal with her broken heart, but moving on is more difficult than she thought. She still loves Clay and she is mad at him for leaving her. 
Due a family matter Clay is going home. Altho he is getting better, he isn't better yet. He finds it difficult to control him self, control his problems around maggie. During therapy  he found out that Maggie is one of his triggers which makes him lose control. 
Even after all that's happened Clay and Maggie still love each other. And there willing to give it an other chance. But this time they take it more slowly.

What did I love
I loved to read about Clay's healing procces. He really didn't have it easy and i'm proud of him for working on it instead of running away like he used to. On top of having his own problems, he has hateful, crappy parents which left him with serious self-doubt and self-esteem issues. That with having bi-polar personality disorder it's difficult for him. But I found him easy to love. Yes he isn't easy to handle but I really felt for him.
I liked that Maggie didn't just jumped back into the relationship and ignored their problems like she did before. She really made an effort to work on it. 

I'm really happy with the way this story turned out. It was very interesting and I read both the books in one sitting. I just had to know what happened next.  

Find you in the Dark by A. Meredith Walters

Find You in the Dark (Find You in the Dark, #1)Maggie Young had the market on normal. Normal friends, normal parents, normal grades.. normal life. Until him. 

Clayton Reed was running from his past and an army of personal demons that threatened to take him down. He never thought he had a chance at happiness. Until her.

Maggie thought their love could overcome anything. Clay thought she was all he needed to fix his messy life. That together, they could face the world. But the darkness is always waiting.

Sometimes the greatest obstacle to true love is within yourself


Review

This is such an emotional, complex story.  Walters really took an heavy and difficult subject for this book but yet managed to include romance, love and happiness. The main character Clayton aka Clay really struggles with major personal problems and disorders and Maggie the female characters learns that just because you love some one that doesn't mean that you can safe them.

What is this story all about
The story is about 17 year old Maggie Young. Maggie is your average student. She has a A- average at school, two loving parents, and two amazing best friends.  But to her this sounds a bit boring. She want's more excitement in her life. 
Clayton or Clay just moved in this small town to live with his Aunt and her Girlfriend. Clay is a Quiet guy, who likes to keep to himself. He isn't much of a people person. He can act like a real jerk sometimes but that doesn't stop Maggie to find herself drawn to Clay. He is after all a tall guy ,with dark hair, and abs to write home about. He is hot, and underneath that mask of distance he is wearing, there's a whole other person that Clay shows to maggie. 

This all may sound like your average happy teenage love story but that's far from it. Clay has some major psychological problems and he doesn't deal with that very well. I'm not going to tell you what it is because I don't want to spoil anything more. 
Maggie tries to help clay by loving him with all that she has but love doesn't heal all. Maggie is willing to put everything aside for clay. As an outsider you can see that it's not working but Maggie is almost blind on love. No, maybe not blind, she does she the problems but choose to ignore it because Clay loves maggie. 

What did I love
I love the accurate the writer is about the struggle Clay haves. It's really hard to write about those problems and they are a rollercoaster ride indeed. 
I really feel for clay and the way the writer writes about him really makes me connect and care for him. 
I find maggie a bit naive sometimes but I guess that if you really love someone you'r willing to try anything to help them and love them. 

I was warned that the ending was heartbreaking and alto I found it sad, I kind of felt happy about it because Clay was getting the help he needed. It's sad that Maggie suffered because of it.  But i'm sure it will work out in the end.

Little conversations by Sibylla Matilde

Little ConversationsEighteen-year-old Devin McKay is a complete and total emotional wreck. Fresh out of high school and on her own for the first time in her life, she’s reeling from rejection of a relationship gone very, very bad. Emotionally battered and tormented by the pull of her narcissistic first love, she wants to make a clean break in a small mountain town where he is everywhere... with his new girlfriend. 

Ronin Andrews is still battling his own cataclysmic ghosts. He recoils from anything heartfelt, choosing instead to work hard and live wild. Outside of his job, parties and causal hooks-ups are his life until Devin walks in. With her short skirt and her sad green eyes, he can’t help but want her… badly. His protective streak wants to provide her with a haven, to shelter and sustain her. 

Through a flash of torrid intensity, they struggle to be friends... just friends. She relies on him to nourish her shattered soul and shield her heart from the clawing, gnawing loss that has consumed her. Before long, the attraction proves too tenacious, and the passion between them becomes undeniable. But will the shadows of the past prove too much to overcome?


Review
You could really tell that Devin was just eighteen years old. I don't have anything against eighteen year old but devin was really immature and whinny. And she was so brainwashed and had such a low self-esteem.  Normally that's something that I could have a connection with maybe but not this time. I really didn't like her, like at all. And the just friends thing she pulled with Ronin I could kind off understand but on the other hand totally now. I mean Jake treats her like a piece of shit and only goes to her when he sees fit. And the shit he keeps telling her makes me feel mad. But what gets me furious is that she just drops everything, including her selfworth, for jake. 
Ronin, ronin was like a saint to me. You could tell he was older than Devin and handles things very differently. He was very patient and kind. I did like him. To bad Devin kind of ruined it all for me. 

What is this story about 
Well this story is about eighteen year old devin that lives somewhere. I forgot were. The story was kind of phage. I didn't get what was going on most of the time. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention. 
But Devin has a boyfriend called Jake that treats her like shit. She knows he is cheating on her but she just things if she loves him enough he'll choose her and come back. And he does come back to her, but then he also goes back to his other girlfriend. He told her he love melanie ( the other girlfriend ) too and she just accepts it.  She just takes him back every time. He is controlling, manipulating as hell. He tells her she's lucky that he loves her and that nobody else ever will, he tells her who she can and can't hang out with and when his friends are nice to her, he tell her that they only do it because the want to have sex with her because why else would they be nice to her. I was like omg your such a shitty friend. Maybe your friends are kind to her because she's your girlfriend and they respect that. 
Well Devin and Jake finally break up and Devin convinced herself that she is trying to move on. But in reality she isn't . 
She meets Ronin and they hit if off right from the start. I don't really know why. And I don't know what he sees in her. He just kept saying he wants her and needs to protect her and stuff. 
The reality is that, for 90% of the book, that Devin will drop everything for Jake. 
In the end Devin pulls her head out of her ass and wipe the shit out of her eyes and finally sees what a jackass jake  is. 

What did I like
Well there wasn't much I liked. The story was odd. The writing style was oke, the Idea was oke but I just didn't have a connection with the story. It just didn't suck me in and made me love the characters. I just felt pity for them and eventually I didn't even feel that anymore. I just didn't care much
I do like ronin, he was just a very good guy with an amazing good heart. 
Oh and I really like the cover. Who doesn't like a half naked guy with only a towel ;p

Even tho the story wasn't what I was looking for don't make that stop you from reading it. You might like it
I give this book 2 starts. I hate giving low ratings but I just can't give more.

Rebel by Elle Casey

Rebel (Rebel, #1)Teagan Cross, college senior, rebel, and wiseass extraordinaire, goes from princess to pauper in a single phone call. Overnight, her life of privilege becomes one of survival, and no matter where she turns, it seems like the world is out to get her. She's not going to fall apart, though. She's a rebel and she's strong … determined to live life on her own terms … and nothing's going to stop her from getting things done and making things right. But when a twist of fate brings her to the doorstep of a different kind of Rebel, she's forced to figure out when something's worth fighting for and when something's worth letting go

Review

I loved, loved Teagan.  She was very funny, sassy, witty and just awesome. She had allot of shit handed to her and i'm amazed with how she handled it all. 
I liked Rebel to, but I didn't love him as much as I loved Teagan. He was a bit of a silent brooding type. And very mysterious. I really liked that about him but I would loved to learn a bit more about him. I like his brothers as well, alto it took me awhile to realize who the brothers were.   

What is this story about

The story is about Teagan, a senior in college.  Her father is very rich and helps her out on the money frond but that's about it. Teagan is very sassy and a smart ass. I really liked her for that. She's so funny. I wish I could come off with witty comments like she does.  
Teagan and her best friend Quin are really alike.  Quin is also a bit sassy, not as much as Teagan but I still thought she was funny.
Well Teagan's life goes from good to worse. Her father dies and she is completely cut of from everything. Her stepfamily just left her on the street.  Not letting it take her down to much, she does for job hunting.  But that's easier said that done.  On top of that she also needs a place to life, so apartment hunting without money or a job it is. 
So after having a really hard time she forces herself on a job in a car shop. She was really desperate for the job and sexy, brooding, silent, hot, mysterious Rebel didn't say no, but he didn't really say yes either. 
Soon after getting a job, Teagan finds herself the most shitty apartment ever but she has no choice. 
She starts liking Rebel more and more but he stays really silent and mysterious. But he seems to grow a serious liking for Teagan. 
There relationship started off a bit weird and rocky but grew really fast. 

What did I like 

I loved the beginning. I thought this would be a solid 5 star read but the ending seemed really out of no where and I wanted more. I was like, that's it, it over, that's how it ended. It wasn't a bad ending but a bit abrupt.
I really loved Teagan and I liked rebel. I didn't feel much for mick or a.k.a hellion. He was and oke side character and I didn't mind him. I did like Colin. He seemed like a cool guy, with a lot of trouble but still a cool fun guy.
I just wished there was more.

Twisted together by Pepper Winters

Twisted Together (Monsters in the Dark, #3)“After battling through hell, I brought my esclave back from the brink of ruin. I sacrificed everything—my heart, my mind, my very desires to bring her back to life. And for a while, I thought it broke me, that I’d never be the same. But slowly the beast is growing bolder, and it’s finally time to show Tess how beautiful the dark can be.” 

Q gave everything to bring Tess back. In return, he expects nothing less. Tess may have leashed and tamed him, but he’s still a monster inside. 

After surviving the darkness, a new dawn has begun. Twisted Together wades through black to grey, chasing the light of true love to banish the shadows forever. 

Pain is a requirement, connection a necessity. But ultimately Q and Tess must face their demons, before they can embrace their future.


Review
Love love love the cover. It's very sexy. I couldn't wait till read this book. It is an amazing emotional roller coaster ride. It's a very good ending for this amazing series. 
At some point I even felt sick to my stomach because I was shocked, nervous and there was so much anticipation. It was killing me. 
I needed to put this book away some times because my brain needed time to wrap itself around the events that happened. 
It has been a while since I read a book with this type of sexual inercourse in it so I needed to get use to it. 
There were some things in this book where I was like, omg really, and why why would you do that, or I would just stare, nut sure what to say. 


One event in this book didn't really needed to happen I think. I wouldn't like it happening to me. I can understand why it happened but still I wouldn't want it to happen to me. But jeah i'm not that into the kinky stuff Tess and Q are in. 

What is this story about ( I'll try to not spoil anything. But you will be warned before hand) 
Well this book takes off when the second one ended. Tess is rescued from Brazil by Q. But it's far, far from over. Tess really struggles with fear for pain and with terrible nightmares ( they sounded more like night terrors to me but still) And Q doesn't really know how to deal with it. 
There is so much going on and happening in this final book that is't hard for me to write it all down, while not turning this review into a full blown essay.
Well first of all Q does everything in his power to safe Tess from her demons. This does mean that he comes very close to losing his control on the demons off his own.  Q does succeed in helping Tess heal and move on. 
I think it's very realistic that Tess is struggling with the problems that she does. Just because she was saved doesn't mean it was over for Tess. 
After Tess started to really move forward and heal a bit. I thought the book would be over.  I was wrong. So, so wrong. Of course it wasn't over. Tess being tortured by her past and actions wasn't enough. Q has to suffer as well. 
Some of the human trafic lords, people is pissed at Q and want revenge. Poor Q does threw an incredibly amount of torture. It was really horrible. And Pepper cut the chapter off before you could find out if he would pull threw. It was horrible
I was like
. The chapters off his torture and the anticipation after was what made me almost sick to my stomach. I was reading like a possessed women. I needed to find out what was going to happen. 
Pepper didn't let me down. There is so much that I could say about what happened but that would spoil things. 

What did I love
Well of course I love Q and Tess. There amazing, and very strong people. They had awful things happen to them but in the end they came out stronger.  
I love that there were things in this story that seemed very realistic. The emotions were very real. And human traffic and sex slaves and stuff like that does happen in real life and that's terrible. I find it amazing that Pepper could include romance, lust, love, happiness and joy into a story with such a hard and difficult topic without losing the seriousness of that topic. 
I'm very happy with the ending of this book. It does this series justice.
